Pre Christmas Phone


Look what i woke up to this morning.My everchanging wallpaper decided to grow a plant with red and white bulbs .Currently the panel lights are red too.Talk about a phone being Christmassy.I had initially forgot that today is Christmas Eve,i made plans to go back to vista,even told my dad about it the night before.Somehow i found out that no one will let be back there today.So shall postpone the trip back to tomorrow.Guess Father Christmas didn't want me to spend my first few Christmas moments alone.I'd rather he give me pointers on how to finish up my notes before finals..Need to go back to studying.

Winter Solstis


My grandma used to make it a big deal every year to celebrate Tang Ceh as they call it in hokkien,to the point of giving up family trips because it always clashes with Christmas time.I bet there are interesting meanings to why they make some of the tong yuens bigger since it is to symbolise the breaking of winter.I remember there used to be like the mother of all tong yuen and two lil ones stuck to the entrance of the door each year.Actually i might have asked this question before.Woops..forgot the answer.Miss ah mah's bouncy and chewy tong yuen...but i guess those readymade ones would have to do.Note to self: learn to make bouncy tong yuen for next year.hehe.

Double Reindeer



So cute rite?

Remember the project i was working on?Ta da....two reindeer cards.They were officially sent out to the recipients along with little pretreat.Hope you like them,you guys.Just my way of appreciating all the things you guys have done for me and spreading the Christmas joy.Remember not stare at them till you forget to study k;).While typing this,i was wondering why they were called reindeer...couldn't be that it was raining when they were born as speculated by hitz.fm djs once upon a time.Do you know why?

December babies!


Happy Birthday Justin!Happy Birthday Yew Wen!Have you ever heard of the believe that you're not allowed to blow candles of a birthday cake twice?Not really sure where it came from but the chinese believe so.It really baffler me,the westerners were the one who came up with the candles for the cake but the chinese come out with rules about it.Hmmm maybe they were teaching people to save,can't blow candles,maybe they won't get a cake.Who knows?We've come really far from the times when people used to eat pau to celebrate.December seems to be birthday month.There are some others along the way but it's never the same.It's always so pack.Could be an illusion with christmas coming,winter solstis festival,the year coming to an end or just simply because i celebrate my birthday in this same month too.Whatever it may be,everything is coming to an end,this year i'll be ending with an uphill task.Hopefully it i'll be able to conquer the hill.

Warlords

*Spoiler ahead...don't read if you intend to watch

Note to self:Gotta stop watchin anime or dramas just before i slept.
Reason:They're creeping into my dreams.
Today i woke up from a nightmare of snake chasing after watching the latest episode of naruto.Creepy...Before i realised, i'm back in the real life nightmare of trying to finish up for EOS 5. Despite the unfruitfulness of the day,went to the curve for dinner and movie at cineleisure...don't judge ppl...everyone needs a break.Couldn't help myself but to check out the queu for Big Apple Donuts....non existant..hehe..decided to get myself some.What can i say?When i'm into something i'm really into it.
The 3 'brothers'
On to the movie..heard a lot bout the movie even before i watched it and i must say it's really as good as people say it is.Have never seen Takeshi Kaneshiro act so well before...he has always only been a so so actor to me.He was the narrator for the movie...most of it was seen from his view...eventhought he was more like a link/protector of the brotherhood between Jet Li,Andy Lau and himself..he still manage to sparkle.. the line i loved most from him which was a lil hilarious too was when he repeatedly told Andy Lau's character 'Da ke shi tui te' meaning that big brother(Jet Li) is right.You really need to watch to understand what i mean.Oh and the ending from him was so good...so emo punya face as he repeatedly stood up to Jet Li's character.Well enuff said for his character who likes to do things repeatedly and kinda reminds me of the proverb berani dengan membuta tuli.After all the fighting..backstabbing...good turn evil...good trying to salvage evil...good kill evil..what more to expect but a sad ending that keeps you longing for more to the story.

The lady who nearly had it all..two timing doesn't pay well

On a happier note...i'm working on two projects..well they are one of the same but making two of them..can't post pictures yet..not till i give them out to maintain the element of suprise.All i can say it involves two reindeers.

Donut TimeOut


I know,i know it's too much an obsession about donuts.2weeks in a row.It was J.Co,now it's Big Apple.But just couldn't help myself when i passed by the outlet in The Curve.It was like calling out to me and the queue wasn't that long.Maybe it was the satisfaction of queueing and then getting something,not actually the eating part.Whatever it maybe,at least i knew it made me happy to be able to make others happy with a nice suprise.When i was back at aunt's place,Sam was there,how could i not offer him some?He's like the biggest eater i know after bro.Suddenly had a flash back of the time when he used to tell Karen,Celest and I, "I hate girls".It was so funny 3grown up girls arguing with a small boy about it.Especially Karen,when she's all heated up.Anyway,he doesn't say that anymore.We made truce.Later back at my apartment there was another donut session for me.It's like donut binging.Had ppl over and must share joke of the day from jackie when we invited him over."Big Apple donut,no problem i got big mouth" With a dozen donut what else to do?Camwhore lor.The donut wasn't the main topic,everyone was more deprived of tv programmes.I've never seen a group of ppl who would watch anything on any channel.I guess the studying is getting to us but gotta admit the bang bang boom challenges were hilarious.Drink bitter gourd for RM20,whole watermelon for RM10 and weird belacan and tempoyak thing for RM50.Kinda like fear factor malaysian style.It's nice to take a break and just relax with a bunch of friends.I don't feel sleepy anymore.Study time.
