christmas eve y'all

my family usually celebrates x'mas eve at my granda's place in kuching. this year, almost everyone was present. liza came back from adelaide, aunty doris' family from kl, aunty linda's family from miri, even diane & her husband took some time out to join us =D only one family couldn't make it, uncle albert's...they had to go back to his wife's longhouse for x'mas this year *.* anywho~ we had a fun time, LOTS OF FOOD!!! turkey was delicious *s'wak club makes good turkey* and lots of fine wine...hehehe

the 'bouquet' looked so beautiful that we didn't dare to use the serviettes

trisha stuck her butterfly thing in the middle...hmm

uncle douglas showing off his carving skills...

nenek's bright x'mas tree...full of pressies underneath! ;)

~nenek saying grace~
look at all that satay *drool*

oh yea, the boys had a futsal match organized by the very enthusiastic uncle west *this is the 3rd year* in the afternoon & this is their 'prize giving ceremony' with medals and everything ^.^ the winner was team westlife *?!?!* uncle west, joshua, pat & edwin...hehehe, it was so funny because they gave out medals for 'best physique', top scorer, best goalie, best fairplay & all sorts of other awards so everyone ended up with a medal...

then after dinner everyone helped themselves to booze...HEHEHEH...although a few people did go to church *midnight service* and they boys *this time with unce joe in tow* went to play a few rounds of pool in town....

x'mas tree =D

late post again ;) started on the x'mas tree a few weeks ago *it's actually still a work-in-progress* and usually it's quite fun but this year the atmosphere was quite subdued...probably due to the post-semester fatigue *?!?!?!* chary came over to help & we managed to get most of it done *in between extremely unhealthy snacking n movie marathons :p* so yeah, here are some of the photos i took...

the 9 foot tree up and ready for deco =)
i realize it's a plastic fake tree,
but we have planted 7 real trees around the compound too~

lights are up...hehehe

chary had to use the ladder to get up and twirl the ribbons!
thanx, hon~

muka lelah
*hugs*

my job, to put the baubles & ribbons ^.^

~at the end of the day~

bear in mind that the tree is not fully decorated yet...hehehe, just bought the star today *took me 2 weeks to find the right one!* & will resume decorating *hopefully* tomorrow :)

jean's 21st birthday ^.^

this is a late post but last week was jean's 21st birthday *yay!* & george called us up to join in the celebration...went for a quick dinner at monster tongue before heading out for drinks. all in all, everyone had a fun time *especially, i hope, for jean =D* everyone chipped in for a chocolate cheese cake *drool~* which they put jean&danny's picture as deco....hehehe! came home a lil tipsy, but that was part of the plan *ahem*

questionable 'table' they put our drinks on ;)

distorted x'mas tree...or stump ?.?

-GROUP SHOT-

a friend in need is a friend indeed!

so i was out last night with agan & chary...apparently it was agan's 'stag night' ;) hahahaha...coz the mrs n coral are due to arrive in 24hours. went to gary's place 1st, had some mee *courtesy of chary, yum yum* watched some tv...chill~~

headed to ruai apai for some beer & found out that KTK tutup! not sure whether it's permanent or not tho, hehehe...neway, there was boy nik, afif, gary, noel, agan, chary & me *yes, the only girl* place was packed with regulars ^.^ good business ah, uncle? met loadsa peeps there too...hehehe...we continued on with tuak and in between, babi panggang *yum yum! i think we had around 6 plates*

ok, the point of this post is to tell y'all that there are some really great friends left on this planet *rare, but they're there!* agan was totally wasted around 2.30am and chary totally took care of him. rubbing his back, finding water, adjusting seats, you name it, he did it...on the way home, we had to make 3 puke stops and finally reached home at 4am. chary didnt even complain! OMG i'm so impressed...truth to be told, i wouldn't be as patient or kind if i were in the situation...hehehe *hey, i'm being honest*

i'm glad that great friends like that still exist, to make sure their friend is taken care of in time of need *and not abandon them* and i felt really happy knowing that =D

i hope everyone gets a chance to know & love great friends in their lives, i know i appreciate all my gurls who have been there for me through thick & thin *hugs, loves~* and also my chary...hehehe...

peace.

you are a failure
you are a disgrace
you try to be someone else
portraying an image that's not your own
stuck in your hellhole
wishful thinking isn't getting you anywhere

so glad i'm not you.

'tis the season to be jolly

assumptions were made *on your part* and research should have followed, my dear, to avoid such need *also, on your part* to justify your life to the world....sigh...pity, pity....

anyway, getting that outta the way ;) i can't wait for x'mas...actually, can't wait for greg to come back with goodies for me *hehehehe* and then after x'mas will be my b'day...shortly after that i'll be heading to singapore *for a short ''educational trip" - hehehehe* and then it's back to school *.*

i'm gonna be missing someone when the new sememster starts tho...best bud will be heading to London to do her degree and i'll be left here =( if only she didn't score all those 4 flats *hehehehe, just kidding, dear* i know you'll do great there and i shall *hopefully* visit u there during summers XD

shoes galore~

look what i found! these are the yummy shoes i so want to own~~

*zanotti's mili sandals*

*alexander mcqueen's black and white peep toe...GORGEOUS!*

*manolo peep toes ;)*

*dior extreme gladiator sandals*

*another zanotti creation ^.^*



I WANT I WANT I WANT! XD

dirty dish

last day of exam today, can't say i did well....i think most of the classmates were struggling as well (what do you expect, it's building construction 251!) but at least everyone got through it in one piece ^.^

anyway, heard drama happened in school again...sigh, girls...when will you ever learn?! if only you were the one in that situation, how would you feel? just because you THINK it doesn't affect you doesn't mean you can do that...you gotta stop ruining people's lives...it's not your place to say whether they're right for each other or not...tsk tsk...pity people around u...

oh yea, went to absolutely yesterday and got a teal kimono top/dress XD it's so cute! hope i'll be able to wear it to the family dinner next week...need to look for gorgeous shoes *and maybe a clutch* to pair it with tho ;) wish me luck, darlings!

inspiration & motivation

went out for a quick *and extremely lazy* lunch with alisya at our fav spot...bing! XD dished out new info to each other *seems like i havent seen the girl in forever!* i accidentally ordered the wrong thing tho...wanted a panini, bambini came out of my mouth =( but damn delicious nonetheless~~

we got talking, and both of us realized that it's been weeks since we went window shopping at spring, so we headed there for a quick fix...much dissapointment as clothes were all 'FALL' collection *dull & boring* but some cute items cropped up here and there ^.^ went to charles&keith where the shoes were all so HARD ...macam batu...the high waisted belts were HUGE *people who buy them are just...weird* went to PADINI, saw someone *bleh* i so desperately wanna shop *sob sob* but so far have spent rm400 on model stuf *seriously, who would know human figures & fake greenery would cost so much???* if only i were an only child...hehehe, no need to share expenditure...

so after the afternoon out, i've loads of motivation to start working on my model *think SBG's Symphony Lake* about the inspiration...it's definitely coming! wish me luck =D

-halloween pictures-

HALLOWEEN came, and so we went out but no one had the slightest intention to dress up, it was supposed to be a casual night out. wendy had some devil ears on, coz she was working the whole day (had to wear 'em?)

some people (i thought) had a little too much to drink tho, but i shall not spell out who...
*hehehehehe*
i wouldn't say it was a blast because i ended up as the driver (as always) so i had to make sure i still was sober enough...

next time i'll just get cab service~

!candid shot!

trying to shoot??

wow, look at her eyes...HAHAHAHA

aww...the cute couple~

the guy who took this was drunk, hence the senget-ness

someone had some action dat nite ^.^
hehehehehe

SOHO's crappy decoration =.=

me & the girls...

T.G.I.F - not

it's friday once again, but i'm really DREADING the weekend & what comes after it -.-

1) no friends to go out with this weekend (i seriously don't know why they dont reply my text)
2) won't be able to drive around much (as usual) & neither can the bf
3) IT is working at one of my favourite stores
4) design, drawing, services & construction assignments due by FRIDAY!

i'm FREAKING OUT...but have no choice but to plough through the situation (to the point that i feel GUILTY sleeping - WTF!)


neway, have decided to go to damai for a couple of nights during hols. none of d gurls have confirmed whether they can make it or not but i thought that if they can't come, then i should just go by myself. need a few days away from all the bad of the world, alone or with company...

think think think

so here i am in the school's library, THINKING to myself, 'oh God, it's almost the end of semester and i'm pretty sure i haven't achieved any goals (i.ei sticking to assignment deadlines) i gave myself'. anyway, boyfriend is checking out guitars he wants to get *it's his hobby now* and i'm wishing i'm somewhere relaxing, all worries far far away.

this is where i wanna be right now...

anyway, if all else fails, this holiday i shall escape to the beach for a few days...i would need some company though, any takers? ^.^

WTF

all this 'tagging' fiasco...sigh =.=

met someone i NEVER expected to meet *on HALLOWEEN some more - and let's just refer the someone as IT* neway, got the shock of my life...what's worse is that IT told it's friends about it's ex and it's friend assumed it's ex life is worse now compared to when it's ex was wif IT...d horror! anyway, ur ex life is WAY better than urs now :D hehehe..

the girl who can't be moved

i feel so lazy and damn bored!
like seriously, fuckingly, horrendously B-O-R-E-D.
argh, wish someone can help me out of this slump.
such a torture to feel this lethargic feeling....
HELP....HELP...HELP....
feel like such a mess.

raya specials and more~

on raya day, the plan was to head out to the beach, get a lil tan (yea'know, look nice and healthy) and then head out visiting...but guess wad happened???

it freakin rained! wad a wet wet raya day....look at the sky, look how they rain for you~ =.=
so, being all dissapointed and after spending much moolah on fries (oh, the boredness!) we headed back to kch...went home, had a hot shower and got ready to visit one of my bitches...hehehe!

with my darlings tia, cass, wen & chary
(ali had to be all the way in KL n miss the fun! hmpf)

tiara came back from UTP (thank god!) we miss her loads~~ and so we headed to her house pretty late, around 9pm...neway, her mum made this pandan drink (absolutely delicious!) n this was made BY HAND, PEOPLE! she started making the drink at 1am and finished around 5am...aunty so rajin~

the second day of raya went by without much enthusiasm *or transportation* for me BUT evonne's b'day was coming up! nyeheheheh...got her a pair of golden hook earrings (forgot to take a pic of it) but yeah, it's gorgeous and FITS HER! yay...

kesian the b'day girl tho, she had to do her own cooking, bought her own cake and even light up the candles herself...what happen to good ol relaxing during your b'day??? neway, she's a good girl...hehehehe...no complains~

{happenings}

this is a lil late, but last friday my mum's family celebrated my grandma's 80th bithday *yay, nenek!* so we had a birthday bash held for her in Hilton. 300 of her closest family and friends were invited and we had lotsa food and drinks *wink wink*

That's not the best part, tho...i was really really extremely happy that my bro and his gf came back from KL just for the event *miss them loads* and my own bf came that nite too! hehehe...plus all my cousins were there...can't wait for the next get together~

-hairstyling-

i had NO idea what happen, but apparently george got a hold of chary's hair *jimmy and amber had fun helping out too, HEHEHEHE* and they had a hairstyling session...but it didn't go very well =p

checking the hair 1st; george hard in action =D

the stylist and the client...heheh

so, since that didn't go so well i decided to berkepo and do something myself *evil laugh*

i parted the hair down the middle and did a ziggy zaggy pattern =D
