Sugarcoated Floors



Baby Anson, one half of a pair of twins.

Awwwwwwww.
Isn't he adorable?- I'm really not the kind who gushes over babies but he just lunges at your heart with his laughter. He just wants to play with me, I could do anything and he'd laugh like I just did the funniest thing ever.





My poor blue black finger nail. I hit it hard somewhere but it wasn't till I removed the nail polish I realized there was dried up blood.



Three divine new colors~

I've been living out my days upside down.
I just got back from breakfast at Casey's. Basically we were bored and I was hungry so we went and bought ingredients and I made omelet du fromage. At two in the morning!

Its good that I've nocturnal friends too. Before the Christmas break started I was alone everyday till five because everyone had class. I read so many classics in that time I became quite dark for a period of time. =/





Cracked phone screen- Even Mika is upset for me.

"She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before."

PS: I've got this rash on my leg and its driving me crazy. It feels like there are literally people running their fingers up and down my legs 24/7.

A Bitter Form of Refuge.

I've no idea why but the bad internet connection seems to be reserved specially for my laptop only.



Mini-blog on Opera browser!

The videos my laptop takes three hours to upload takes only sixteen minutes on my dad's laptop. I have to leave several computers on and I really don't like leaving my accounts open where I can't keep my eye on them. I don't like to think of someone rifling through my private stuff while I'm gone.


I didn't really enjoy Christmas that much; think I woke up on the wrong side of bed.

Christmas Eve I was stuck at home, no friends, no family, no company. I asked Shawn to watch "Zombieland" with me but he went out with his friends instead, so I watched "Inglorious Basterds" on DVD with Ethan but he fell asleep like ten minutes after it started.



Ripped out a piece of cardboard and got carried away.



I think the excessive detail only shows how bored I really am... =/

Thought of going out to meet up with Tik Tsin and Sabrina but then my cars road tax just expired and I really don't dare to drive all the way to Damansara without it. They wanted to come but I feel like such a hassle then, they've friends and stuff to do in Damansara. If they came out all the way to the suburbs what could we do? Sit around and rot?

Then I don't know, slept late, woke up early on Christmas day- was super cranky and upset that this wasn't the "ideal" Christmas celebration. One of those days where things don't go your way, this jacket I really wanted got sold out, my best friend received the exact bag I wanted for Christmas so I can't get the same thing, cause it'll just look tacky, plus my mom went and complained about the bag we specially went out and got for her. (I think that simply ruined my day.)

And I dropped my phone on the floor pretty hard and the screen sort of shattered; FML. I go through phones faster than I do with boyfriends- With a shocking 6:2 ratio!



Family Reunion Photo's



Spot me!

Every year my fathers relatives from Singapore and various parts of Malaysia gather around for a gigantic family reunion to celebrate Christmas and my grandfathers birthday. This year our reunion was significantly shorter and less exciting; I can't help but hope that this tradition won't slowly dissipate as we grow older. =/



The um... young adults table...



Jeanette and me!



Jeanette is teeny.



I love this photo! Doesn't it really capture the mood?



I am but a speck in the distance.






New purple/fuschia scarf from Forever 21!

And the sky won't snow..."

PS: I am well aware that the photos I take don't reflect the mood of my blog posts. But I don't take pictures when I'm pissed! And I still want to watch Zombieland!

Freshly Cut. Oh, it burns...

I've cuts and bruises all over my arms, legs, knees and elbows.

Stings like mad when I'm in the bath; I've been absent longer than usual I know, I've been busy. Its the weekend before Christmas and family and friends are cramming themselves into all available weekends.

I don't know why my readership is still so high, I really have done nothing to maintain it. I can't spew words like I used to, maybe its because I've been reading too many classics- emotionally draining. I get zapped dry of wit and humor. I've lost my spunk!

Celebrating Christmas with the gang@Marche



On the way there- Its so frustrating driving with Casey; he doesn't listen to your directions then blames you. =C



Rosti- Omg. I've been craving for this for the longest time!



Niesha- I ALWAYS do her hair and makeup. I just snipped about 5 inches off her very long hair, it was all dried and straightened out. I left the curls~



The girls- I'm grinning like a monkey. Haha.



I love this photo! Its like three best friends... ... and Evonne...



The guys- From Yang Ming to Daniel.



Unwrapping and exchanging gifts.



Casey reading his letter from Niesha.



Elephant chain from Gloria. T.T I nearly cried when I opened it.





Kevin, me and Daniel.




Niesha's gift- A notebook with us printed on the cover. Isn't it the coolest?

"Everything's not different because nothing happened,
Now close your eyes and make a full rewind."

PS: Winter Solstice today! Celebrated with moms side but couldn't help make tong yuen because of the cuts on my hands.

PPS: Will also update on my fathers side reunion dinner when I get the chance.

Cinq petite choses...

1# I just rooted around in a bin for Kevin and Casey's Christmas presents.

My maid accidentally threw them out with the thrash, I was too terrified to go dig them out. But then I came home from lunch today to see thunder clouds brewing and the thought of my presents getting soaked with the garbage was really too much so I sucked it up and dug around for the gifts. (I chopped both arms off afterwards.)

They're now soaking in a cupful of antibacterial Dynamo solution- the gift not the arms. And I'm hoping the smell will dissipate.



The best photo's are the candid ones. =)

2# I have the funniest looking tan lines.

I came from swimming at the club with Alvin and Casey. The sun was insanely hot, but I wanted a tan. Forgot about the odd tan lines my halter bikini top would leave, now I have these two diagonal lines across my chest. But I can hide it if I wear a necklace covering the exact bits, a little bit of double sided tape will do the trick. XD



Casey and the Virgin Mary.



It was so hot Alvin's face started burning off.



Us ber-tanning. Now you know what I meant by the "diagonal lines"

3# My mom lost her credit card...

...And some douche went and swiped it for nine hundred dollars worth of stuff from The Travel Store, Jusco Cheras Selatan.

4# A lightning bolt hit the house today.

Blew out one of our lights, the Christmas tree switch and popped Ethan's balloon. Ethan doesn't believe me, he thinks I did it because he told me he peed in my car.

5# Am still trying to find out whether he DID pee in my car!

It started like this, he wouldn't say goodbye or thank you to this aunt who had him over for a play date so I refused to let him in the car. He started to throw a fit so I had to let him in anyway, halfway he leaned forward and I felt his wet clothes against the back of my arm. "Ethan, did you pee yourself?"
"Yes, I just peed on your seat."
"Really?"
"No la, playing with you."

But where did ALL that water come from? O.o" And why is his pants wet in the exact spots?!? Argh!!! I kept interrogating him so now he's come to ignore me. If it IS pee I'll find out tomorrow, when the smell hits. =/

6# And the rest of them unposted - photos...



Brought my granddad to Mid-V. He's been confined to a wheel chair, but he stood up long enough to take photos.



Granddad and the children, see the overgrown one? Thats not his grandchild, thats my new maid! Isn't she tiny?



I was at my cousins house when I came across a box of poster paints. Couldn't help myself...




I can't get enough of potraits.

"Clock, on the wall,
I will stop your hands from turning,
Or this night will end too soon."

PS: I think I'm skipping my graduation, its overpriced and pointless really. RM260 for registering followed by RM120 per ticket, I'd spend that money on a fancy dinner.

You jest...



Boo!

Was a model for a fantasy makeup competition last Thursday- Did both photo shoot and show.

I was supposed to be a court jester. It was a lot of fun! I had acrylic painted all over my face, glitter, rhinestones, three inch fake nails and a 3kg hair piece. The hair was really heavy, not as heavy as some of the other models- there were some who were really suffering, but by the time the fashion show came around I had to lean against the wall to support my head or have my neck in splinters.



See those red feathery/flowery things? My fake nails.

The nails really render you useless, plus I had to hold up this elaborate porcelain mask which weighed a few kilos. The nails made it hard to grip and exerting pressure felt like I was pulling out my fingernails. Ouch. Horrible.

My makeup artist was feeding me, dressing me, holding up my cup for me, answering my calls. Haha. I was so lucky. Some of the other models were just left to starve; I was so tired I don't think I could have stood for that long in heels without dinner. =/



Me and my makeup artist, Lenny.



Me and a few other models. The one on the right won first prize.




Jessie, the model next to me. Really sweet girl.



I kept turning around to take photos of her as her makeup grew more and more elaborate.



I know I look sulky in most of the photos, but I had braces and wasn't allowed to smile. =X




I know I'm taking a long time to get through this but its a classic!

Certes, ce fut un triste jeu
Quand a Paris Dame Justice,
Pour avoir mange trop d'epice,
Se mit tout le palais un feu.

PS: Short post. I know. Hahahaa. Sue me. My brain juice has dried up and so has my steady flow of words and ability to talk to a brick wall for hours. Maybe its from watching too much Gossip Girl and other shows of inane frivolity. Haha. But they are so addictive!
