` shopping bag of excuses

haha.

Everyone's back from Australia. Haven't had time to meet up with most, though. Sorry for skipping all the dinners, yumcha sessions, lunches, outings and occasions to well, meet up. Just give me a week more. I promise i'll try my best-est to make time for you all? Then again, you guys will be here till February, so no rush, right? I'm sure in between now and then, i'll find, well, time. Right? Well, yes i'll try so shush already. It can be a pain to be constantly kept on your toes. Literally. My toes are sore. But, I love my new heels. Beats the M&S pair I originally wanted, anytime, in terms of comfort, that is. :) haha. As a matter of fact, besides the absence of the gem studded star (that I liked and mom didn't), it was all pretty similar. Since my shopping for Christmas (not really Christmas, but yes, shopping) started, the best purchases I have made must be the heels, the iPod nano covers (5 colours okay!) and the DP clutch. I mean, the rest have been awesome, but I still need time to wear them. I've got a long day ahead, tomorrow. I'm bringing my sleeping bag :) Anyway, lazy to upload all the pics, especially those from prac. Random pics from yesterday and today. Oh and today was an absofreakinglutely long bojangle forest day. Sigh. So tiring. Yes, and I chose today to blog. I'm quite a bright bulb. This year doesn't feel like Christmas. But if I hit the right, button, it might actually be better than Christmas. Right now, i'm just plain tired. I need a kickstart and I can't wait for the 28th before it all happens now, can I? Cos by then, it'd be over! Gee. Oh and JoAnn came back from Korea with an entire box-full of food (which was there the whole day but I only found out at about 4pm?) but I especially enjoyed the seaweed, thank you JoAnn. You know what feels good? When you're preparing for a performance, when you're scared shitless, seriously, and all you do is mumble a short plea, and you hit the right note, keep the right beat, get that extra breath to hold the tune, and you feel like the crowd doesn't matter anymore. God, that feeling, is just ... awesome. And that peace? Only through Him. Thank you, God, for keeping me sane in this insane world.

omgsh. heels and rain = walking disaster.
Luckily I had an island to myself, which turned out to be a disaster as my bin kept moving forward and I was just plain constrained by my absolutely tiny 1foot diameter island. Bloody jumping frogs.

Thank you everyone who helped in one way or another, today.




Night :)

Have a blessed Christmas ahead.

` really and truly

I haven't had the time or mood to blog properly, so this'll have to last till possibly next year. hee. *peace*


Merry Christmas, loves!

` variety - the spice of life

Variety - the spice of life

So is chili, baby. So is chili. I remember the torment I went through when I couldn't find proper chili in Australia. Bloody bullocks. Maybe I didn't try the right stores, but heck, I asked at every restaurant/fast-food joint and everything. Until I finally come to a nice quaint store, owned by Koreans. I saw chili flakes behind the counter and I quickly inquired, shook away on my pasta and sat down happily, while the Koreans thought I was somewhat insane. But seriously, no chili = can die. Lol. I didn't know I had such a craving for it, till then. Sigh. Anyway, back to the Korean Chili Flakes. They weren't like other Australian chili sauces which were sweet, neither were they spicy. Argh. The agony. Well, that's the closest I got to chili while I was there. Lol. Random? I know. Just thought of the importance of chili in my life, cos I just had uber spicy Ramen and it just made my day, yo! :) I like like like Korean food. Well, the spicy part, at least. I even like Korean soap operas/dramas. And I think 'em Korean boys are pretty off-the-hook-ly good looking. *mmmmm... But I still try to stay away from Kimchi for as much as I can. *shivers

` miracles happen

I'm really no big fan of reviewing movies, telling people what's nice or not to watch, or anything at all. But seriously you guys, watch this movie! haha. It's a really good movie on relationships and marriage. Then again, i'm really not up and hopping with all the current movies. Maybe everyone (but me) has already watched it. But come on you guys! I have no time for movies. No interest, some times. But this this this movie, is really nice. I liked the 'make a list' thingamajig. It's very real that we take a lot of things for granted, just because things, or people are constantly readily available, all at our disposal. In today's society, we're pressured by keeping up with the speed of things, we forget to keep our lives in reality check. We're very often (at least I am, don't know about everyone else) caught up with school work, this work, just hanging out, and chasing after due dates that we forget that friendships and relationships need the occasional nourishing, refreshing and nudging. Hey I haven't neglected any one of you, right? haha. Just a thought. Alright, brace yourself for some mind blowing, insensate ramblings. You might just want to stop right here. :) And if you were wondering, yes, I'm on a blogroll. Hence, the consistent (or so I think) updates.

Anyway, for those of you who have been bewildered and disturbed with the fact that I hadn't watched Transformers, I finally did! Now, now, calm down. No big hooha! Well, it was about time, and I chose the most uncanny time to watch it. The day I woke up early to study for my finals. Yes, I woke up at 9am, to watch Transformers (just like I spent an hour looking painstakingly for the M&S heels on their catalogues, just before another exam. haha.). Distractions (!) , people! What am I saying? I need to get a grip on my life. haha. Yes. Nevertheless, I admit it was a real good movie. What was I thinking when I said there was no need to watch it? So I can finally return all your DVDs :) haha.


Well, remember I said I got a new dog? Jack Russell. I said I was gonna upload a picture of the dude right? Here it is. I like the dog, cos as I said, it walks funny and it makes me happy. Seeing it gives me a good start to my day and somehow or rather, I feel so much better after I see it. Even if i've had one helluva day, seeing Prince (that's his name, btw) makes all the anxiety go away. What say you? :)

Babe! Remember this clown? haha. I just found the picture.
(which I unintentionally made sad, hence the face)

A friend asked me, "why do you paint your nails? Why do girls paint their nails?" Well girls, I don't know about you, but it is very therapeutic for me. I can be stressed, deranged, psychopathic and cranky, but let me sit down and paint my nails, and my whole world just falls right back into place. (Shows just how much more deranged I am, huh?) haha. For instance, when I'm stressed out right before my exams, I paint my nails. When i'm upset, I paint my nails. Oh and a friend once told me, the colour we choose to paint our nails reflect very much on our emotions and feelings. I couldn't have put it better. Take the picture above, for example. That was Dark purple, right before exam, and stress was the mood. Go figure. As for guys who paint their nails? Well, there are many sides to that story la yeah? haha.




Btw, for those who are looking on buying an iPod, there's this new official Apple Malaysia Online Store. It's a whole lot easier to relate, in terms of pricing, cos it's all in Ringgit (finally). They have this awesome engraving and wrapping service, plus shipping thing going on, which is sucha steal (i think la). Shipping is free if you purchase over RM250. Oh come on, you don't really expect to get anything there for very cheap prices, do you? Anyway, other than that engraving thing, I think i'd stick to purchasing Apple things from stores, just cos I prefer it that way.


Yeah I know, I know. There isn't any connection between all the paragraphs. Just random thoughts I decided to put down. That's all :)


So, I finished all the major obstacles to my holidays papers today. It's a good thing, right? :) yums. Freedom hasn't tasted this awesome, in a long time. I promise i'll try to stop procrastinating next year. One month to go and it'll be a new year. How did you spend your new year 2008? How are you gonna usher in the challenges, prosperity and love 2009 holds?


Anyway, I haven't been like all poser for some time now. So I decided to mess around with my webcam today, and took like 2134567786543 pictures. :) haha. Random? I know. But i'm in such a good mood, potentially nothing can change it. Not yet, at least. Alright. byeee :)






p/s: Sorry no Chinese words today. haha. And congrats if you got this far.

` guess who's back, yo!

Hello, world.
