Burn out….

December 26th, 2005 by ivylee

Phew!! Christmas had just come and gone like how KAtrina had hit US. But Christmas had left me with extra pounds, after visiting 7 houses in a day. Need to start hitting the pool soon to swim off the extra baggage HAHA. But I just need to say, I absolutely enjoyed the food man. Home cooked food is always the best. I mean yeah what celebration can go without great food right? And i can realy tell u Kajang people can really cook up some superp curry, as wicked as the devil..opps…hehe.. I guess that’s why I look forward to Christmas so much, the Curry chicken at Adel’s place, the sambal prawns at Sonia’s place, the Turkey and mushroom soup at elena’s place, the Salad and again mushroom soup at Flora’s place(was suppose to have BBQ, but rain started pouring before we could start the fire..hehe..hope u would throw another BBQ soon) and finally the ever famous mutton at Russell’s house. *YUMP YUMP*. Each house that I go to, my tummy would be telling me that it’s overloaded, that no food can go in no more but as soon as i sat at the table, the food just start to play mind games with me…ever inviting me with it’s alluring look and sweet savoury smell that just made me go insane. So in the end I gave in (yeah I’m weak)and started feasting AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN…yup i failed miserably..HAHA..and the rest is history

I’m just so bad…just started babbling about the food. Great food mind you. Anyway Christmas Eve was as always, FABULOUS!!. The choir gave their tope performance. I will always remember how each time as we end our great rendition for Thanksgiving Hymm and the ever gempak arrangement in music, there will be this great SILENCE in the air that actually feels really surreal. I can actually feel my hair behind my neck standing. it’s like everyone is in a state of shock or something. YEAH it’s so cool. HAHA. Well done HFC choir. But as for Christmas morning mass, guess all of us were just burnt out from the singing the night before, our singing were just OUT. But we had a good laugh especially the *King of Kings…* it’s hilarious. And we actually thought that we had fooled the congregation. Well guess somehow rather they are not tone deaf HAHA. But nonetheless it was fun.

Well Christmas 2005 is over now. Well actually not so over yet still got a couple of Christmas events in store for teh next few days. After hibernating at home the whole day today, i’m so looking forward to meet up with my friends and have some fun again. But i’ll surely be having a even busier time coming this new year as my Dad had just got posted to Batu Pahat, Johor. So a lot of plannings and arrangement within the family and preparations for the 2nd move in this short 3 months. HAHA..now my family would be certified MOVER as this is our 8th time moving house in my lifetime. Guess there would be more changes coming up in my life in this coming new year. Hope it’s a change for the better and not worst. Just don’t really like the idea of staying away from my family and coming home to an empty house. But guess i just ned to learn to be indepandant from now onwards.

A day to be remembered…

December 22nd, 2005 by ivylee

I was suppose to post this blog yesterday(21st Dec)..but was just too tired HAHA…

why is it a day to remember? well for starters the person that i’ve been missing like crazy for the last 4 months had finally touched down in M’sia..Thank God..or i would have been diagnosed with insomnia anytime soon…well just happy to see him again…i has been a long journey…so just trying to make the best out of what we have right now (3 weeks and he’s off again) = (…

anothe reason why i’m feeling that this day is a time to remember is because after some many years of not being able to communicate with this one important person in my life…we finally got to chat with each other over MSN…i don’t mean like just normal chats that u do daily…i meant it like a heart to heart talk…where feelings are connected and u spill out the feelings that had been hidden deep inside u for ages…i’ve always treated this person as the sister that i never had…a sister that i’ve always wished for and wanted…someone that i could share and trust my secrets with..someone that would always understand what i’m going through and instead of judging me, accept me for who i am…

While growing up we used to share many things…share many thoughts….but as we got older i guess things just changed….along the way we just kinda lost the bond and drifted apart…one of the reason probably would have been because of the distance…i always yearned to built that bond again…but as years passes by nothing happened…

Up till this day that met her online…thought we are parted by the ocean…but for the first time after so many years i felt the connection again…a feeling that i can never share with another soul…we just started opening up again and sharing our thoughts and life experience…suddenly too many things were just flowing though my mind and so many things that we want to tell each other…i just felt this very familiar feeling that was flowing through me again…and i just can’t help but feel really happy….

we decided that upon her return to M’sia we are going to meet up and have our long awaited talk…i’m really looking forward for that…and i’m thankful that we actually got to chat with each other even thought it was just for a short moment…but time could not measure up to the hapiness that i’ve gained through that very short moment…as they say * blood is always thicker than water *

Sequin anyone?

December 19th, 2005 by ivylee

After 5 days of painstakingly sewing the sequins on to my new top…finally it’s accomplished…i think it looks ok…gonna have to wait till i wear it out to see what others think about it…

what trigger me to do such a thing?well lately sequin tops are really popular..but for me i think it’s really ridiculously overpriced…a simple top with sequins will normally cost at least 40 bucks and above depending on the brand of course…even in Sg. Wang it’s priced at 30 bucks and above…not to mention the quality is just unbearable….

So how much it cost me to make it myself? here’s the calculation:-

TOP  -  RM29 (from MNG)

Sequin  - RM 15 (enough for 2 or 3 tops depending on the size of the design)

So by everage it comes up to probably RM34…Actually could have gotten a cheaper top…saw Zara selling the basic singlet top for RM25 only…so might go get more tops to add on to my collection…haha..

How long it took me? about 5 days…just doing bit by bit each day…**hello i still got other things to do in life** Well the nice thing is that at least i get to do my own design and choose my own combination of sequins and colors…and the joy of wearing my own creation? PRICELESS….muahahaha…

So for u guys who’s looking for something special for this christmas season…this would be a cool thing to do…just be prepared to get poked by needles every once and then and struggle to put the treat through the smallest neddle ever…..other than that just have fun doing it….**never try,never know**

I also just started playing Maple Story…really cute…i used to be deeply in love with Super Mario….so i guess this game is pretty much very close to that…And of all characters i decided to choose to be a Magician…which is the toughest character to built…where in this game i need to kill ‘monsters’…hah snails, moving mushrooms, green bubbles, freaking flying pink pigs(got killed by it *stupid pigs*…dduuuhhh they are just so damn scary as they always have this smile on their face….yeah as i say this game shares great similiarity with Super Mario…*Friendly Monsters*…so as u kill the monsters u gain experience and helps to advance to hinger levels and gain greater powers along the way…so in my condition magicians need to gain intelligence as oppose to strength which is what the warriors need…

At the moment only in Level 6..haha…and the great thing is u get to actually intereract with people that u meet…other online gamers….so if u can get ur friends to play it would be really cool….u get to do funny things together…and the character can actually give different face expressions…hilarious expressions i must say….So those out there playing this game if u ever see me *PoisonIV* don’t forget to say hi…or maybe could help train me too….as u can see i’m still a beginner….and i have my younger brother breathing down my neck pointing and poking at my keyboard while i play…and getting frustrated by my lack of ability in gaming….hey give me a break ok..age is catching up lar not as flexible as i used to be…"u know ah 10 years ago how great i was at playing video games….."…..hehe*lame excuse*

Birth of An Inspiration

December 18th, 2005 by ivylee

After so long of leaving my blog in the blistering cold..i’ve finally decided to do something about it…yeah yeah i’m joining the blogging comunity..well more like TRYING, to be exact..

But after hours of sitting here..running back and forth with the pages..i’m officially tired and more blurred than ever…didn’t do any good to my already ’sepet’ eye…guess tommorow’s gonna be another day walking round with my panda eye…

Actually lucky for me that I have my wifey to save the day…sort of like my mentor in ‘Blogging for Dummies’..gave me some good pointers as how to start off…but believe me it’s not easy…i really take my hats off to those whose blog pages looking simply awesome (including my wifey’s)…guess i just need to work harder and put more effort into it now….

But well so far as u can see..not much progress yet…just trying to get the ball rolling first…hope with my infinite love, passion and care i could nourish this little baby to soon bloom and flourish into a beautiful and elegant piece….
