First Love Letter.

First saman. Another 'reminder' that I'm all grown up and have to pay by myself d. Haha. 

Just because I felt so lazy to park behind the lorong this morning, so I ended parking beside Infinity. And few minutes later, tadaaaa. I parked for like 30 minutes only and I was gonna leave office d. Joke la :D

Okayla. At least the person's handwriting is very nice.
I smiled the moment I saw this huge paper.

Life's good like that. All the ups and downs.

The Last 2012 Friday.

I got bored just now and started looking back to the past few years in Facebook. It definitely brought back a LOT of good and fun memories. Posts/photos/wishes that I actually forgotten about. And that actually made me think. How fast time has passed all of us by, isn't it. 

It's so funny to see how I've changed (physically) over the years. Not that it's massive but still (I do think I looked better as I grow older..)

Last Friday of 2012 and I am stuck in office with nothing to do. Tried making loads of appointments but they are either on leave or err.. on leave. So, I'm warming up my chair in office and I still have couple of hours to go.

Days like this I feel like I can go on being as random as I can. Hah. 

Oh, just in case you didn't already know, little one is a baby girl :) Apparently, she has been very active lately. Kicking and moving around like a boss. Four more months. It's going to be really awesome 2013. I just know it. 

Mom's gonna get a new phone. A new Hello Kitty's phone. She's definitely very excited about that. 

I haven't been to the nail salon for the longest time I tell you. No kidding. I used to be able to spend certain amount of money on these things but when I started working, the priority list seems to be re-shuffled. I miss those pampering moments. Time to look into Groupons and MyDeals and Living Socials to get those promotions! 

I changed my phone ringtone. So what right? Hah. Now, I just made people wait longer so that I can hear the chorus longer. 

Having choo char last night with the camp staffs make me realize that I haven't been eating choo char like that for quite some time d also. Sadness. Penang's chinese people has got to eat some rice yo. No rice, can die. 

Okay, I just asked my sister to buy for me the manipedi package. And a laptop table. Soooo cheap. I is happy girl today. And we've got a special surprise form Mr and Mrs Khoo too :)

I still haven't watch Life of Pi. It's so sad. We are never able to find time to date/hangout. Not in the month of December. But hey, no one's complaining. Get  to see each other a bit here and there is fine. Not great but fine.

I have plans for upcoming holidays but I can't find the 'perfect'date. Dilemma betui ni.

I hate nightmares. Or bad dreams. Or dreams that are totally useless yet they give you weird funny feeling when you wake up. Or dreams that causes arguments (yes, it happened).

I miss eating at Homes Chef Garden. It's been a while (actually I had dinner there a week ago but still miss it).

I thought I could already play Sims 3, but false alarm. Oh the sadness is huge. Now, I've gotta wait longer for it to actually work. Fingers all crossed.

*sings* 'You don't have to be a star baby to be in my show' 

I just finish watching a mini pig going down the stairs on youtube. Shoooo cutee! 

How nice is it that we get to spend the last Friday of the year with the company of good friends and good food. Turkey, I'm coming for you real soon!

I really want to experience snow at least once in my life. 

I found out that I'm not that adventurous kind of people after all. I've always wanted to try bungee jump but come and think about it right, it will never happen to me. I will never be daring enough to try. Skydive then maybe yes. Cos I'll be jumping down with a pro strapped to me. I think I dare la but who knows right. 

One thing girls must be absolutely good at is knowing how to hide the fats. The muffin top. Must learn la this one. Just must. Everyone say I lost weight but in actual fact, I've gained (i think). I'm just good at hiding them (not to be proud or what la). Heh.

I miss my college life soooo much. The giggling in class and the endless chats during group study. Gah, that part of life passes so quickly. I miss those mad bunch. 

I kept eating in office. So hard to NOT think of food when my drawer is filled with all those junks. 

Craving for beef noodles and Queen's Food Market's Thai Food Number 13. 

Signing off.

Just Have To.

You know that moment when you've decided that you are not gonna spend money just before you walk into a mall?

That's what I did. Told myself that I'm not going to spend (even though I suggested that we go prangin to look for nice S2 casing) and I repeated to Koay so that he will make sure I spend no ringgit at all tonight. 

Total fail. 

It's almost impossible that I spend not on that beautiful casing (which I bought in the end)  and also changed my screen protector (so much for not spending at all, end up spend on two things!)

It's like I finally found that one thing that I really like and to walk away without it, it's just cruel and mean. Good thing Koay didn't insist on me not spending money. Heh. 

I must say that, I love it so much. So much to the extent that it feels like a whole brand new phone again. No kidding.

No regrets for this one, for sure. 

Bright colors make me oh so happy.

One HEART brings one SMILE.

AKI's Mooncake Festival 2012.

AKI stands for Alumni of Keele-ers International
(consists of all the amazing people, like *coughsMEcoughs*)

We have been working on this project/event for many months now. It's a night where children from different kindergardens would come together and enjoy the night with planned programme for them to enjoy. Also, to celebrate Mooncake Festival with them. The whole idea is to raise funds for charity (by selling mooncakes and on donations). 

We did the same thing 2 years back and the response was great, that's why we decided to do it again this year. All our donations are given to Nasom Penang (National Autism Society of Malaysia) and Ruyi Home (for the underpriviledged children with single parent). Both of these amazing NGOs also participated in our event that night (no kindergardens this year which I think was good seeing that we didn't have a lot of manpower, heh)

So, the last day that we could still raise funds was Saturday itself and we have a team who went to Chung Ling on Friday and I joined them on Saturday. Students don't really buy mooncakes cos it's pretty expensive for students and we didn't think that they would carry at least RM15 in the pocket to school so we decided to open it up for donations, at any amount! There are students who even donated 50 cents (such kind souls to really wanna help these children even with their last few cents!)

after spending 45 minutes of saying loudly "Donation for the autistic children" to every students who walked pass by us to go to the canteen (the only way to canteen), I decided to write it on the board (why didn't I figured this earlier. Hmm)

drank this once years ago. Saw it in the canteen and a happy girl, I was indeed.

the team behind all the raising funds (they were at KDU almost everyday) You guys, best!

the two boys decided that they would sit down and let the pretty girls 'attract' the boys'! So, I gave them work to do! Haha. Cut out the decorations, which they happily did.

we ladies memang powerr! We collected around RM300 on cash donations and RM200 plus on mooncake sales. All that happened within the two and half hours in Chung Ling. Wow :)

After Chung Ling, we went back to college to meet up with the rest of the team and head for lunch at New World Park, where Koay and I had probably the worst bak kut teh, ever! And while the rest went back to college to prepare other materials (for lantern making), Koay and I went to APT for our RM5's hair cut and hair wash! Afterall, the emcee needs to relax first before the night starts, heh!

After all the setting up and months of hard work, it's finally the time to kick start the night. The helpers were all dressed in either blue or white. All the handsome boys and drop-dead-gorgeous girls were ready to rock the night and making sure those kids will go home with smiles and lots of goodies! :)

oh! and we've got some supports from the home yo!

speech by the Head of Business Department, Mr. Prakash and Vice President of AKI, Vernon. 

our supporters. Not many in numbers but it was great!

first up: Mikael's stroytelling session on how Mooncake Festival existed. All the kids laughed, all the helpers laughed and all the teachers laughed! Mikael oh Mikael, such joker.

 then, it was coloring timeee! All kids' favorite time (okay, maybe not all. I never really liked coloring when I was young)

they gave their 100% because it's a contest! Three winners to walk away with three amazing prizes! (I had no idea what the prizes were, btw)

the boy on the right is cutenessss overload wei.

dinner after that.

all the hungry people in the world unite.

the next activity is making lanterns! This, the kids love.

*pinches*

Mikael guiding the kids step by step.

the emcee also jaga kids. syiok betuii!

After making lanterns, we also gave away ready made cartonned lanterns. I was actually telling them that there's only one lantern left and who wants it, and their happy reactions were priceless.

of course they were more happy when they found out that they each get one with lighted candles too!

so, we took them out for few rounds in college, to the darker areas. emcee jadi lantern-guide.

seeing pretty lighted up lanterns held by wonderful kids and the joy on each their faces, really priceless.

and we sang 'twinkle twinkle' (don't know other songs d. haha)

oh, I'm so happy looking back at the pictures la.

they also blew the candles to the count of 3. Oh how I love kids when they are this obedient! :)

PRIZE GIVING! (at this point, most of the helpers were quite tired d and I was pretty much losing the voice but the kids, they were more jumpy than ever!) They all left the place with goody bags each!

the group picture.

and because we had so much fun and it was a great night, here's another photo of us :)
