this is my 96th postttt!!!

ok so its abit early to announce it yet. but so whatttttt, im reaching a hundred! a 100, i tell you. i haven't looked back yet, but my archive should be full of rants, gushes, emotions, experiences and most probably, ALOT OF THINGS THAT I'LL LAUGH AT (MYSELF TOO).

so now, im busy hugging harry, my cuuuuuutest teddy of all, about to blog about my plans for cny!

btw, have you seen him before? he's sooooo cute and blur! i think you'll fall in love with him as instantly as i did 5 years ago.

iknowiknowiknow righttttttt.

i know that shirt looks really zombie-ish, its because i made it myself. don't worry, he's shirtless now. not without a scarf though. i'll post up a updated picture someday, alright? hee.

so, distractions aside, i made plans for cny. because i have to. why? cuz my aunt no.2 fell sick a few weeks ago, and is still recovering and we don't think she's gonna cook up fabulous stuff for us. one day you should drop by and sample her fried chicken, no, you won't even sample, you'd just gobble up the whole lot cuz its that good.

anyways, me, my mom and jamie; and hopefully other auntie relatives too, are gonna take over.....a little.

my mum told me to come up of snacks and drinks, because thats what meals at cny consists of mostly. the drinks are, preferably, alcoholic. (:

so here's my ideas so farrrrr.

1. Cocktails with punch    

seriously, the kids can take it. or if not, they're banished from the dining room. nyeeheehee!

recipe:  fruit cordial and maybe, vodka/gin???? i'll decide soon.

2. S'moresssss!!!!!!!!!!!

*btw i took the picture from flickr. why can't people put up messy genuine photos of them? smores aren't meant to be delicate little things.

so anyways, i know its a little americanish for chinese new year, still. i've always wanted to try this.

recipe: Heat the marshmallow over an open flame until it begins to brown and melt.

Break the graham cracker in half. Sandwich the chocolate between the cracker and the hot marshmallow. Allow the marshmallow to cool a moment before eating.

and that's it so farrr. if you have any suggestions, oh please do let me know. i don't really need the usual traditional eats, but something, okay here's a word i brought up from my mental dictionary after talking to weeyen, PHENOMENAL.

and after cny, i'll let you know how things went?

and ohpleaseohplease dear cousin Sabrinalovely, please bring your DSLR, i really hope you do.

alright, ta' lovelies!

oh wait wait! i have to let you see this. this is beyond insane. see whether you wanna live in japan in the future?

so, are you contemplating nowwww? (:

so much for holidays!!!

you would think after spm and no college and all, you'd get a holiday.

ok, maybe i shouldn't refer to you, its just me.

you know why?

cuz its not ok for mom for me to wake up at 12 and sleep at 1. that in fact, is what i always do during holidays!

just because jamie is back in school, she's trying to get me up at 8-ish or something (but when i do, she always sarcastically ask, " well isn't that a little bit early for you? "). its almost like being back in school again.

all in short, she doesn't want me to rot. but what i do, is study for my upcoming theory exam (the final!) and driving test, not going out most of the time using my parent's money and gas, like a parasite. i stay at home obediently, occasionally not doing chores, that's all.

all i know is, throughout my whole childhood and adolescent life, what all parents say 'yes' to, mine always disagrees.

this is sad.

well on the bright side, i'm finally having issues from since a very long time!

i like being depressed sometimes. it breaks the emotional monotony i'm having so far.

of course, i know its really unhealthy. that's why i wanna get out of the house as soon as possible.

to quote my mum: " Candice if you don't wake up early and rot around the house imma kick you out."

fine. i don't have to get kicked out, i'm going out myself.

pfffttt. with mum, i'm always prone to migraines.

i beg to differ!

but the word 'differ' is too polite a word!!! (:

it all happened just now when i was staring at the mirror, with all the usual rants running around my head.

like: " yurr your nose is so big your eyes are too small i think you need to rebrace your teeth your hair isnt healthy looking your skin isnt glowing...." y'know, girl thing. it happens even without pms.

sigh.

but no, all of a sudden, i stopped feeling miserable. i thought, " yurr this is stereotype-ish. why can't i think a little different? yeah. i declare to be different! "

so i took a step back. and looked in the mirror again.

and suddenly, i found myself beautiful!

(((((((((((((((: ...... hee.

and then, it flowed into my veins.

Classical Music is such a great invention. my music teacher today lent me this cassette ( and i LOVE casettes! so sentimental (: ) about orchestral instruments. it was basically playing bits of concertos and a bit of commentary, and whoa, i tell you, i FELL IN LOVE again! its been a while since i've listened to classical.

there's this thing about classical music: it warms you inside like hot chocolate, leaving you all fuzzy and contented inside, and it makes me in awe of the brains humans were blessed with to come up with such an amazing invention. Classical music makes your day go by much more graceful; even a dull car ride could be made so much more meaningful. the music just washes away the sounds of pop music, the engine, the car honks....... even sounds on the radio sounds trashy to me now!

haha yes, im going over the top! i've really fallen in love with classical music now. i've just realised how much it can do for everyday life; especially when you're all wounded up from work, or just curling up to read a book. seriously, it doesn't take much effort to enjoy this, just buy a cd and pop it in your cd player, and just lay back and enjoy. such a cheap alternative to spas and pedi-manis (not that i object to them! (: ).

i'll say it again: I LOVE CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

aiyerrrr. :/

today, i checked out a few blogs which all of them were popular, you know like thousands of hits and hundreds of followers, yadayada. and was dissapointed when i saw one of them. wanna find out? check out today's StarTwo, and narrow the list down. i think it's pretty obvious.

her (i don't even bother to remember her name) blog was beyond describable! honestly, i've seen better blogs, which none of them are given credit when credit's due. elainesueann.blogspot.com , organizedchaoz.blogspot.com , tomatoeraincow.blogspot.com , just to name a few. in comparison, the latter's have perfectly good grammar, interesting things they observe in life written out in detail, quirky/funny/witty/story-like writing style, sometimes even pictures aren't needed to brighten up their posts.

as for the former (once i've lost my frenzy i can describe a bit), it was about boring repetitive routines that happen in life, grammar/spelling errors in every sentence, man, it puts me OFF. she's even narcissistic, hinting heavily how pretty is she. lets judge for ourselves, can we? in short, its very......ordinary. plain, even. the errors irritates me too. maybe, you have to have some sort of, acquired taste, to frequently read her blog. or maybe, the acquired-tasted one, is me? :/

i guess you'll have to read to clarify.

ish.

sorry la, i dont mean to trash someone's blog. or, "stain their fame" or something.

but it makes me sick to know a blog unworthy of all the attention in the Internet, is given credit. like i said, give credit when credit's due.

ughhh.

Fun Fact: The word 'Shopping' to me is like blood to a great white shark.

Typical, eh? I just think that the way the sentence looks very fact-ish.

speaking of Great Whites, i found out in Port Lincoln, Adelaide, Australia; there's this thing called cage-diving. and Adelaide, which is situated at south of Aus, has a concentration of greatwhites population there.

so, you put them together and............

well, I'M not intimidated. i've read an article on how terrified and regretful the journalist turned out to be, but i'm not damped out. in fact, i think rushed of adrenaline, existing in the forms of coming up to a cute guy that makes your heart thud erratically against your chest (yeah, thats adrenaline for me), to attending a one-hour interview, to this, bunjee jumping, and the like; is healthy for me. in measured healthy doses, of course.

YEAHH!!!!!!!!! you have no idea how excited i've become over this. i'm gonna make a list of these things to do before 40, just in case i have health problems after that :)

so these few days, i've been thinking quite alot....on what degree to take and what to do next. there's, definitely, no permanent plan, but strong and uncertain ideas. but thank the mercy of the Lord, i can narrow down, and will post up my decisions when i come to them. honestly i can assure you, they'll be exciting.

i'm finally out of the wilderness! yay!

GMH?

since i'm feeling more enlightened compared to a few days ago, i might as well blog now than congesting this blog with depressing emo content!

hmm. these few weeks have been taking a toll on me. i was, and still am, on an emotional rollercoaster ride; probably for the rest of my life lol. and it just seems that ironically, that SPM period when everybody seems to dread, it became a memory i would treasure, because God's presence moves SO much at that time within me. i was awed again and again, every single day.

and, for now. not that God is absent recently, but i was sort of in the wilderness. you know, about my future. sadly to say, apart from taking driving lessons, all i did at home was think. figuring out what my attributes are, what degree do i want to do without making a real big fuss. sometimes, life isn't just ' take a-levels first, then decide later ' kind of plan.

come to think of it, i haven't narrowed down yet, haha. because i feel i could do almost anything (cheh, i know (: ). mmm, mostly cuz i have things i think i can and want to do. so basically, even as i haven't sorted out my plans, but i have a general idea?

and this is where my God comes in. last week was awesome, because He opened so many doors for me, and i realised maybe although God has plans for you, you're the one who's supposed to make the choice. i mean, He doesn't shove the destined boyfriend up your nose and demands you to take his hand anyway?

gah. i still feel like i'm talking in circles.

k, put it this way. i may not know what plans God has in store for me, but i've gotta hold on to Him and never let go nor lose faith, right? that's the spirit!

so any concerned, please slap me and tell me to get a clear head, alright? because i hate sitting at home doing nothing.

alright. i can't seem to narrow down the options i like, but i'm going to figure out soon, haha.

ADELAIDE <3

w.o.w.

today, my dad came back complaining on how Am-Ex doesn't seem to satisfy customers the way they used to be after new owners take over. we had requested two RM 100 Body Shop vouchers, and two RM 100 Italiannies voucher.however, they took a real long time to arrive, in fact they didn't arrive at all. but here's the bigger HOWEVER:

dad called to make a complaint. they checked for errors, and found out it was the company's mistake.

SO, they gave our vouchers COMPLIMENTARY.

praise God, for all He's done. He's taken such good care on my family.

*bursts out in maniacal laughter*

ohmygad, i can't believe i can get RM 400 falling from the sky just like that.

mudmask? free. eyecream? freee. white musk eaudetoilette? FREEEEEEE.

yeahhh.

elementary, Mr Watson.

to blog about yesterday:

it was funfunfun, with mumblings about not having an obama t-shirt, with overstuffed jap meal, with amazing bowling sessions: the guys with so much effort didn't score their best; the girls who played "rabbit-style" (sorry, inside joke here) scored beyond expectations * xinwei's shot bowled us over with the ball on the brink of falling into the drain; suddenly swerved back to knock off 60% of pins, with dinner at pretty Gardens, with a pair of major SORE feet dragging me home. all in all, COOL! looking forward to hang more with the gang soon. thankyouall, my merrymen, for making the day sooooo eventful.

to blog about today:

is what would you call, Stuck In A Rut. GCE A-levels - which intake? which college? aargh!

but i know, God will make a way.

to blog about Sherlock Holmes:

oooohhh. i love the movie alot. i think Robert Downey Jr is hot for his age.

no, no jude. of course your not leftout. i think your cute too.

so that is it. i recommend this strongly, should you be looking for witty, intellectual, brilliant dialogues. and mysteries that center around " how-done-it " instead of " who-done-it ".

i shall post one of my very important life decisions, hopefully, soon. byebye~
