Human Nature?

My sister treated us to coffee and cakes at Starbucks the other night.

It was really nice to laze on the sofa and chit chatted with sibblings. Not something special for some ppl but it is to me coz we don't get to sit down together & talk to each other face to face like this very often. With my sibblings all over the world (& different time zones), we hardly even have the chance to talk over MSN.

It was stormy outside but I felt warm inside. I guess we would fight like enermies instead of doing this if we saw each other everyday. Sometimes I really feel that we human beings have this bad habit of taking things for granted... Why do we only appreciate when things are not within our reach or easily obtainable?

So sad that my sister is leaving for Paris tonight and that brother will leave for Aust in 1 week's time... I will have no sibblings to play with liao... The good thing is, Jane will be back in 3 weeks time! Yayyeeee, someone to go CNY visiting with meeeeEEEee.. :)

Santa Claus is coming to toOOoownnn....

Now that my exam is over, I should be on my way realising the stuff I felt like doing during my studies... Yup, Should be... but I'm not in the mood anymore. hehe, I'm not suprised at my 180 degree change...

I am so slack this December (hehe, actually i'm slack whole year round)

Christmas is 2 days away and my Christmas tree is still nicely tucked away in the box. It used be up by November every year! Awww.. no twinkling Christmas tree to brighten my home this year then....

Christmas Eve is tomorrow. I can't believe that I haven't had a plan yet. Do you have one? Can I join? haha... I used to organise a Christmas gifts exchange party every year but this year, I broke the tradition coz all my energy has been spent on my studies (yeah, i blame it on my exam). Also, I have to save some money for emergency use. The economy might get worse in the Moo year... So, no big celebration for me this Rat year. Just a simple get together gathering with a couple of my buddies. I reckon that's good enough ^^

My sister came back from Paris last night. Nice to have her back for a short holiday. What's nicer is that she brought me a Xmas gift. From Paris. The City of Loveeeee..... Should be City of Branded Goods lah... ;p

I like branded stuff and like all other girls, I dream of having one of my very own. Any kind will do so long as it's not one from Petaling Street. I'm not very picky when it comes to free gift ;)

Guess what my sister bring all the way from Paris? The package comes in a very good quality box. It's exquisitely wrapped with blue ribbon too and it has the 'Paris' wording on it. The whole thing looks very classy and feels very heavy! OOoo, i have a good feeling about this. I can feel the 'branded-ness' already....

So excited at the sight of a gift that I almost ripped the box open! My dear sister got me

not a LV or Chanel bag. It's a box of handmade chocolate! How sweet of her *smiling happily (and also disappointedly ;p)*

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to you All!

It's weekend?!

It's official. My exam is tomorrow *nervous*

No weekend for me this weekend. Well, there is a weekend this week. Just that weekend is supposed to be for enjoyment and since I have to study over the weekend, which is no fun at all, so technically, I don't have a weekend. ahhhh what the... Too much studies makes me talk nonsense!

Suddenly, I feel like re-decorating my room, washing my dirt-covered white car, making giant chewy choc chip cookies... all the things I've been procrastinating for months or years...!

Haiiii... studying is definitely making me M-A-D. There is too much information in my tiny brain. It's spilling out.....

Oh, today is Dong Zi. Mum made a big pot of tan yuan (glutinous rice balls) this morn and I had that for breakfast. Yummmm....

Happy Dong Zi!

We finally see LIGHTS!

Mr. Sun is finally back from his holiday in Hawaii! ^^

*singing* You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey.....

Oooppssss.. i forgot to reset the date... should be 19/12/08 :p

Rain Rain Rain....

It's Dark and rainy again. It has been like this for the past few days. Love that it rains in the morning. Such a perfect weather for more sleep! What a pain in the neck having to leave my warm comfy bed! Grrr....

I love rain but when there is too much gloominess, cold and wetness, life can be a bit grey. I seriously need some colours, some warmth, and some happiness! I miss Mr. Sun! Where is he anyway? Probably enjoying his Xmas holiday, sunbathing in Hawaii ;p

I know something that can give me exactly what I need ----- Colourful, spicy Indian food of course! *clap clap* Jenn is soOOoooOOoo smart!! I heard that there is a bit of opium in their food. Good, coz that makes me happy (and keeps me going back for more..... ;p).

Guess what? I've been having Indian food 2 days in a row hehe.. I felt v full (& guilty) after that and drank 2 cups of green tea hoping to cleanse my system and also wash away my guilt hahaha... Yesterday, i found an Indian restaurant in a really quiet place and i suddenly had this idea that i want to try ALL the Indian food in kch! hahaha... what a strange and unhealthy thought... But...

Is there anyone out there who would like to join my crazy adventure?? It will make you happy you know...........

Swollen Finger

Clumsy me 'kiap' (caught) my thumb in the door *sob sob*

I didn't pull my finger away fast enough when i shutted the car door. hmmm... is that a sign of aging?

It wasn't painful at first so i continued to take things out from my car. After like 2 seconds, my thumb hurt like hell! I immediately threw all my things on the ground and looked at my poor thumb. It had swollen into a lightbulb and started to bled! Then i cried.

The more i cried, the more painful it got and the more painful it got, the louder i cried. Then like a little child, I ran to my mum. My mum kept blowing on my finger and told me that this will make finger less painful. At the same time, she gave me some sweets to eat to keep me distracted from pain while she searched for ointment. For one moment, i really felt like a little kid! An old kid that is hahaha....

Not only that, I was like a princess for I didn't need to do any cleaning up after dinner. And bro was asked to do things because mum said 'sis has painful finger' hiak hiak... i bet my bro hated me that night... ;p

I still have swollen and bruised fingers. I can't type properly....

before the blue-black effect

Holiday Project

I've been wanting to try making fruit enzymes ever since I found the recipe in a newspaper months ago. After months of giving myself tonnes of excuses, I decided to give it a try over the long weekend. How hard is it to put 4 things together, right?

Wrong. Because it took me 3 days to gather 4 things at 5 different places! 345.. what a nice number....

I really miss those one-stop departmental stores like those in KL and overseas. Those so huge that i cannot find the exit; that sell everything under the sun that I can complete my shopping list (and probably also end up with things I don't need) in one go.

I didn't manage to do as planned over the long holiday. Because by the time i finally got all the things i need, i was too lazy to begin hehe.... I guess long holiday is meant for activities like eat, sleep, play or just do nothing....


P/s: I made fruit enzymes last night. Hardworking of me huh? Actually, I was forced to do it coz the papaya was showing sign of 'aging'.

My blood and sweat

An ocean apart

My world has become quiet again...

I look into the far horizon and wonder what are going through your mind at this moment. Are u having the same thoughts as me?

Time seems to have come to a stop but how come I can still feel the wind? How come I can still feel the stinging of the sun?

I'm exhausted. I need a sleep. We shall meet again... See you in 5.... in my dreams....

I look thinner! Yayeeee

Last night, stop-growing-since-12 CS said I'm thinner.... That's one beautiful compliment, esp when it was given when matchstick LY was around.

Thanks, CS for the beautiful words. It made me sleep like a baby last nite. When i woke up this morn, i felt as if all my spare tires had gone until.... i touched myself...

CS gave Jane the same compliment too.... except that her face is 'puff-ier' Tee hee......

La la la.....

For the first time in many months, I don't have Monday blue! Am in such a happy mood that NOTHING can drag me down from Haven of Happiness to Earth.... (p/s: if u have any bad news, do tell me today ;p)

Am feeling super duber excited now. We are celebrating Mum's birthday tonight. What makes the already-special event extra special is that it's gonna be a 'semi' family reunion too! How rare! How priceless! How I can't wait!

Although our family reunion is not quite 'complete', it's good enough. We haven't had such a 'big' reunion dinner for AGES! Since I was 10 i think. I bet Mum is the happiest and most excited among us all... How can one not be when Jane took time off her busy schedule and flew in last Sat, Pete extended his stay and brother will fly in this afternoon with family ?
