Let's paaaarrrtttyyyy~~

Alright, need to really get myself into the paaarrtyy mode. Cos I'm totally not prepared. And procrastinating.

So the party mode first started to build up starting this morning at the carnival. :) The DJ jammed all the fantastic songs and dance hits. Woohoo!
I've moves like Jagger ~~ Let it go let it go ~~
(Though I silently think my eardrums are undergoing a lot of pressure -.-)

Next up, to maintain myself in that mode, after 1 year 5 months of not listening to the songs in my laptop, I decided to let the party mode go all the way man. Chinesepop & Cantopop, yeah! 想劈酒~~


 Party Mode: ON!

My favourite line when choosing shirt colour:

They: "Pink looks damn nice!"
Me: "Pink or magenta ah.. looks quite nice (yeah, nice on others, but I don't wear pink -- internal monologue). BUT, boys don't like it leh.."
They: "Ya hor.. we choose others la. "

*victory ^^v
Mission accomplished.

Random:
To date, I've ONLY TWO pink items -- one pink singlet and pink tube top, both bought when I was 21 years old for my friend's birthday party. I think I've never wore them ever since. Zzz.

perfect.

(was clearing sorting the photots in my camera. 

Finally transferred these gorgeous pics to the computer!
Always LOVE it when there's flowers offerings and I can bring home these
gorgeous chrysanthemums! and camwhore them. heheh.
Love the chrysanthemum poms too. whee!)

Just had one real good 1.5hours sleep at the dining table (not out of choice, but forced biologically) since the start of the week.

小姐，你真的累坏了。

Crafts Appreciation.

It's quite sad to see young girls nowadays don't appreciate crafts.
We were teaching them friendship bands, and many complained commented "Where did you learn all these? (myself) When did you learn? (Secondary school days) Wow. Your must have nothing better to do and do all these."

So disheartening.

Till today, I still love doing these little crafts, friendship band, cross stitch etc. Among all these, I don't really like sewing, but sewing once in a while is therapeutic. hahaha. Healing in those moments of concentration. =)

But during one of my lessons to teach the use of "sequential words", I taught them origami. 14-year-old boys, and they love it. Haha. (of course, no books is always better for them, hah)
At least I feel... at least they appreciate. Some would even offer to teach you another origami that you haven't learnt before. 

I've never forgotten that I've learnt my first origami from my grandmother when I was in kindergarten. With just a few folds, she performed magic and transformed newspaper into something else. Then, you felt as though you had all the toys in the world, and you can simply spend hours playing masak with these folded paper or even hours just perfecting and memorizing the steps to fold them. She taught me how to fold a ball, crane, crane on a boat, boat etc, just to name a few. Of course you could simply argue you can learn anything and almost everything from Y*utube (and of course Guide Books) nowadays, but having someone to teach you such little simple things beats the accessibility of these Guides, as the fun is in the learning and spending time with the other person.
Till today at her age of 80+, she still can remember new things/crafts which I've yet to learn from her. One regret I have is not being able to master knitting because it ain't easy, and this country ain't really practical to take up this craftwork unless you travel to cold climate frequently. She can simply knit a jacket just from balls of yarn, and even create patterns in the knitwork. How genius is that?? No books, no notes, no videos, no nothing. Simply from memory, through learning from her elders.


Note to self: If I have any children and eventually grandchildren in future, I will make sure that they learn some basic crafts, and to appreciate the beauty in the simplicity of these crafts. Origami, knots, beads painting etc. Or even using fruits/vegetable, paper from hole punching or recycled materials to create art pieces.

Where is this sense of dread coming from?????

I need help with uncertainties.

What sorcery is this.

Are these coincidences or really merging of bubbles? Haha.

1. Macs
Never really had craving for Macs/fast food. But when I saw a recent ad (which is like super rare since I don't watch TV nowadays) on the current new highlights of the super spicy mala burger / green curry (spicy stuff gets me fired and spiced up) -- I felt like trying it! Not for the meat, but for the tastebuds & spiciness. And well, we ordered Macs today cos someone else wanted to.Wish fulfilled. Mala burger's really spicy, they even smeared the burger with chilli (zzz -_-") but it doesn't feel as satiating and satisfying as the usual Mcspicy. sads. My stomach felt fiery enough though. Haha.

2. Bubble Tea
I walked past the brandless Bubble Tea shop near my house daily. And everyday for this past week, I dissuaded myself from buying cos it ain't good to drink cold stuff and too much sugary food. In fact I prefer brandless bubble teas to big brands, the closest I prefer is perhaps Gongcha. Well, as fate has it, my pa decided to buy KOI today (his first time ever wanting to buy any sort of bubble tea). yums (even though my favourite isn't KOI, hah).

3. Dread
You felt my bubble! Thanks my bff. *hugs :)
It's indescribable.. just a feeling that wouldn't go away.

4. Gathering
Was just thinking I haven't met up for a long time with one group of my friends.
They just sent a whatsapp to plan for a meetup.

5. Bread from a certain bakery
I wanted bread from this bakery, was hoping they would buy it for me. And in fact, they wanted to initially. However, the shop has closed and is now converting to another shop... sads. 


Haha. What sorcery is this.


Why is it only working for things that are of the least concern to my life (for now)? I meant it relatively in the big scheme of things, not meaning to say that all the above are unimportant.

點解你咁在意嚟份不明嘅緣份？
或者當時嘅决定係個錯誤？

YOU CAN DO IT!

從不放棄 -- 鄭少秋

天地男兒主題曲
作詞：潘偉源
作曲：徐嘉良

一絲絲記憶　勾起了一串串滋味
它不少也不會多　分享了重聚跟別離
一張張照片　框起了一個個天地
不聲不語偏說出　歲月多依稀

＊一聲聲嘆息　終止了一處處境地
它將所有悲與喜　編好了年月跟日期
一天天變更　不可以一次次躲避
它需不竭的勇敢　向夢想高飛

＃何愁面前浪破浪　湧過無了期
何愁落泊　我只要一口氣
雷或雨　我也傲然經過
瀟瀟洒洒向美夢高飛

＋何妨混和淚與汗　一笑毌皺眉
誰歧視我　我偏要爭口氣
從成敗裡　冷暖後才知道
絲絲點點永記在於心
凡事不放棄

I love Adam Cheng's voice. :)

No matter how good they say the online thing is... I am still skeptical.
Nothing beats reality.. and it hurts.

"皆、大好き！ "
Haha, realized I haven't heard this phrase in a while Cos the last few anime I've been watching were shounen-genre sports related anime.
It's good to have a switch though. Too much shoujo is too suffocating, heh.
Somehow, after watching so many different anime and dramas, I find that there are similar themes across the board (or rather, more or less the same few themes). What's captivating are the story lines, plot twists, portrayed characters, actors, voice actors that made all the watching worthwhile.

I love all the megane in Kuroko no Basuke S1! =P
