So it's done

So it's done, i did it. What is it about watching and listening to yourself that is so annoying :(
maybe i really am that annoying,but it had to be done. And what are the odds someone decides to try out his recording device while i'm there.(at least he doesnt think i sound like a goat D:) and it's done...

i hope he likes it . *crosses fingers* Cannot wait for family time!

tiny ditty

we don't got a lot of dough
and we don't have any snow
we don't know what the new year holds
but there's one thing that i do know

 you're all here with me
you mean more than the tree
even more than all the presents
underneath

We don't need a lot of money
to make our Christmas sunny (it's free!)
We don't need fancy a car
and we don't need to travel far


you're all here with me
you mean more than the tree
even more than all the presents
underneath

underneath
underneath

Is not about the game or toys
not about the crowds or noise
it's bout friends and family
all you dearest ones to me

:) Merry Christmas

things to be thankful for #595958

such busy weeks before and ahead of me.I haven't had time to be thankful for what i have. But the little things do matter. things have been so overwhelming and i  haven't really been allowing myself to express what i really feel inside. and like it or not, that's not me. I can't really work like this. So I'm going to just list down things i'm grateful for. i will try not  to feel guilty for feeling happy.i deserve to be happy once in a while.


-long line for consultation,but we did the basic 3d for it already. Told the lecturer we'll come  back when the line is shorter but he offered to consult our work at the pc straight away. Nothing else but God's hand in that.
-good friends who offer helping hands when yu need them
-friends who are good company to help you take your mind off things and who remind you that it's ohkay to laugh and be happy now and then.
-the feeling of peace where short tempers used to rise.
-progress is being able to let go (better than nothing)
-awesome weekends
-being able to make the best out of a down turned situation.

-being able to have family time :)



mantra of the day: i have the right to feel happy. as long as no one else gets hurt.

you cut up your clothes,now you have to wear them

Lazily now, i did wear all my revamped clothes out. Mostly to class.save for the ones in shorts without leggings...since...that's all i do nowadays... in no particular order but i think it started on saturday. 






by the way...all were super comfy!

book update #2556


Just finished this. I like the pace and the speed of everything falling into place.

Onto the next series!

Looks and sounds prettily snooty :D


http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/m8j11/people_were_asking_me_about_my_boyfriend_all_day/


after reading the comments to this...it really is a whole different culture. when i had my bruises, i had "close friends" and supposed "leaders" telling me " Aiyoh!Don't be so clumsy la"

makes a little sad at the katak bawah tempurung-ness of people.

obligatory 11.11.11 post

my day probably started the night before...more like evening.when the water died.
so morning involved waking yailee up so i could use her bathroom. after a class (more like discussion of Skins) was takoyaki for lunch. home, rest then attempt to restart my car with the help of the lovely Hock. Eventually restarted, but woe is me...brake lights connection was crap. through the phone,dad guided me to snip the wires of the brake lights. macguyver moment #1. if you spotted a crazy girl in the trunk of her car cutting up wires...yeah... That also meant i couldn't drive to Subang for practice. so rush upstairs to get ready and i lock my keys in the room....again... but thanks to past experience had a second Macguyver moment and ta -daa!

thankfully,waters back.

hailowin!


my costume.finally settled for this. They suggested so many others, and i was quite keen on Little Miss Muffet or Librarian (since im so darn lazy and all those things were accessible to me,from my handy dandy closet)

But while searching (more like excavating for useful items) i found a plastic bag with tulle in it. I bought it ages ago to make a tutu. And so it began, almost 2 am in the morning, searched for tutu tutorials and began snipping.just enough matterial i think.if i had more colours it would hv been nice, but the dark blue helped me not stand out so much. It's not neat,but the tutorial i picked said it didnt matter and it didn't! 

Simple outfit,not much prep. So i went over to Jr's to attempt to help with the make up :)

 but here you can obviously see who the real artist is :)
Try being in a room full of guys doing their make up and you're the only girl, but you're not doing any. hmmm

was glad when the girls finally reached.
Anywayness, since i wasn't putting any make up, i decided to help out the girls.

(pic creds to DomDom)
Slytherin hotness. with my minimal eye make up skills. Nerd boy is just background prop.

(pic creds to DomDom)
I did silver's (skull mask girl) eyes. Attempted to Taylor Momsen-ify it. Boleh tahan la.
Beautiful Camille. All her own handiwork.

le DomDom and i. yes, he be zombie boy. 
it was awesome fun doing his t-shirt.after my tshirt cutting rampage recently, i find slashing T's and stretching them a real stress reliever. 


Camwhore shot of  le DomDom, Camille and i. DomDom was a tad deadish that night.

It was fun. We lost at charades though.oh wells. Chihuahua Ugly is a must see movie btw.
And there were a couple of fun performances by a talented skull face. got called up to sing something. I had fun although i made a huge fail key change booboo.

(pic creds to DomDom)

It was fun singing with SkullFace I. It didn't flood that night so i'm happy :)

After much singing, it was clean up/camwhoring/cam abusing time. took this one. i laiks very much

camera credits to DomDom.I took it ;P
Ninjaboy is being ninja.

But as all trick -or - treaters go, i got hungry. So we went to Macca's to scare some nuggets.

This is our take on the Addam's family. we hv a zombie butler.

Can't wait for the rest of the pictures.Is great laiks.

Long story short,we marathoned Darkness Falls and Grave Encounters. And...safe to say, no sleep till 7am.

In everything give thanks. Even when a good day with family ended with a huge cramp and a slightly sharp note. give thanks.
I started a Tumblr to share things that made me happy. positive things. thought provoking things. so much for positivism .at one point i got a telling off for "doing something just because the internet said so". yea,based on a quote about moving on and surround oneself with positive people and things. i doubted myself for a while, wondering if this all this being positive was wrong, that i should not allow myself to mend or to heal up with positive thinking. Also, if quotes like that encourage me, they could be encouraging many others who read it, so why not share it? everyone deserves a pick-me-up, and a gentle push to move on.

after much doubting, i chose to keep on reblogging what positive statements i feel would encourage others. and guess what? Someone followed me and when i thanked them for it, i got this response :

"No need to thank, i have found some very inspiring images in your blog...but I´m following you for the positive messages, that at this moment, I need so much, thanks for dropping this lines, and please keep the good work for all us fans of you!…"


so, i'm glad i didn't stop. to some, it may seem selfish and attention seeking and stupid to want to believe and do what "stuff on the internet" said, but, i don't regret sharing it,because it helped someone, even if it was only one person.

Some things pay off you when listen to His voice and persevere. you never know whats coming, or when it does...but when it finally happens, it'll will mean so much more.

what you do

Once upon a time, i considered myself an extrovert. That, to me meant being friendly with everyone and trying to make friends.being nice to everyone,simple as that. But, over the years, there's been too much accusations, finger pointing and double standards. Friendly translates into something else and that led to baseless judgment, due the fact that people rather speculate than give benefit of the doubt.(so "christian" ain't it?) So, thanks to the many out there who stood by and made false assumptions, i now choose not to get to know new people to avoid being labeled by your friendly, neighbourhood church goers.


Safe to say,i'm oddly an introvert now. it's not really who i am, but for now, till i get over the finger-pointing or the fear of it... what can i do? do what's right i suppose? see how la. what's the point of doing something good and "earn" more "labels"?

MOAR DIY!

So, Saturday rolled around. Popped up at 10 something in the morning. with only 4 hours of sleep and the inability to go back to sleep, so, went back to work on a few ideas i had for the shirts. i did google a little, for reference and ideas, but didn't actually follow everything to the T,so oh well, here goes.

T- Shirt #1



Cut off the neckline and sewed a little stitch into the back. can be worn either way.

WAI BODEH WAI

slpt around 6 something this morning (whatever the time stamped on the previous post is) and tadaaaa.i  was wide awake at 10.30 am. wai bodeh clock wai D: wai is i no can has sleeppz in?? D:

D.I.Y of the day #4911

So, just before i fell asleep the other day, i had the urge to cut up a tshirt, but i decided against acting out on my notions and slept instead. So today( more like yesterday) as i was waiting for yailee to get ready to go watch Real Steel, i decided to pull out a tshirt and commence the cutting, so i did...the lucky tshirt?



This one. My 'Love Me Butch' tshirt 
(Love Me Butch = Local band = google-able)


So step 1 :
I cut off the neck line. Then test- cut off one sleeve. So it looked like this :



Satisfied, moved on to step 2 :
Off with both sleeves. left over sleeves seen there



Step 3 :
I made a boo boo when i cut off the sleeves, so my step 3 consisted of sewing in the sides around the armholes to make it fit and not stick out and expose the insides (shyla!) and basically when not worn, looks as above.

Then with the leftover sleeve, Step 4 :
I cut one wide strip, enough to sew two short tubes. I forgot to take pictures, so it looks like this pic i took off the interwebs. Imagine them WAYYY shorter,messier, and black.


Step 5 was to sew each tube into a loop at the top of each strap, but not sewn down, so you can still move it along the strap itself.
Can't see it in the pic, but its function will be evident in the pictures to come. Anyway, somewhere along the way i decided to cut a small slit down the front to make a little ' v' if i wanted.  

With that, TADAAA! done! 

Doesn't look like much i know.oh, well.

Below are the modeled pics, more to show the variations of styles that can be done by moving the loops

This is just it....without messing with anything

Le DESIGNS

Design 1 : Loopies way up the top, flaps left as it is. 
I will call this the default design.


Design 2 : Loopies pulled down to create thinner straps and flaps tucked in for the sweetheart/sorta v-neck neckline

Design 3 : Loopies pulled down and flaps left as it is for a square neckline with a slight slit.

Design 4 : Loopies all the way up top and flaps tucked in = Regular V neck top


So.that's that.
As science would have it, having the loopies anywhere along the strap gives it a different look. I have no idea what stitches i used, just whatever i learnt back in high school, in KH ( or home econs?)
Not planning to win any awards with my stitches, no fear there.

i blame Old Town's teh tarik.the caffeine kicked in to my body a little too late.was so twitchy i couldn't sleep.

oh what a day!

woke up in time with time to spare this morning,but felt really tired out for some reason. so tired i didn't realise i didn't bring my keys out with me before locking my door. I followed my housemate out the door, hence having to reason to check if i had my key. oh well.

my brain was barely with me all day, aside from certain jumps of adrenaline...

came back to locked doors, much waiting awaited.so i mopped up the hall.

but much waiting came to an end,and mr door opener arrived,  grabbed a plastic bottle, cut it up,slide,turn,shove and TADA! quick buck! (or bucks)

now,i feel so pooped tired. but...i;m still here .it's been ok i guess

Mummy oh mommy

So my sister and I were telling our mom about us watching 'Land Before Time".
 The original, mind you. 

And we were recollecting how I used to cry and ask my mom " why did the mother die?". My mom was like,"YA!"
then proceeded to imitate 3 year old me asking "why the mother die?????" i would have said i didn't sound like that, but unfortunately for me....i sounded exactly like that D: but, it was a good laugh :D


GAHHH!! BABY LITTLE FOOT MAKES ME WANT TO EAT MY PILLOW!!!! WAI SO KIUTTT~~

Somehow, recently, things fall into place....tiny pieces,but still pieces.
Was just talking to a friend about fear and how nonsensical it is to fear worldly things and POOF! guess what was today's sermon about? :D
