the end of art & craft project!

The last three days of my Raya break was the start of my art and craft project of the semester – (beeeeelated) birthday and graduation and random hello cards.

The sudden enthusiasm and exuberance and excitement was overwhelming. I just have to brave myself and drove to Malacca town alone. Hopefully, I didn’t caused anyone to have hearth attack =/ but I think I did shocked mum a little for being too ambitious. Hehehe…

Anyway, I hopped from MyDin to Tesco to Popular to Ulat Buku to Thai Kuang in the hunt for the perfect papers. I still didn’t get the papers I imagined and wanted! How I wish ChipzLee open a branch in Malacca. Oh, my fave stationary shop =) I would spend lots of my time there touching the lovely papers and ohh arr.. at the cool stamps and test for a good black pen and check out the latest cheap wrapping papers and aww... at the super cute paper clips and wa… at the canggih-manggih glue and calculate how cheap is the envelopes and marvel at the various kinda of craft knife while nice Christian music plays softly.
FUH, as if I so gaya in making art & craft. Hahaha...

Ar... see, my mind wonders to another la-la land again.

Oh back to the un-sesat jalan.

In few hours time, I’m going to give away my last precious handmade card from this art and craft project. I like all my handmade cards though some bit cacat-ed especially those I made after I ter-cut my thumb =/
(No worries, no blood drip on any cards given out =P )
Now, I kinda miss the cards but at the same time I’m happy that the cards might made someone’s day, hopefully.

Mix feelings for cards! :) hahaha... I’m emo and weird.
Hopefully the handmade cards will be taken care by the new owners =D

Ar... my mind is thinking of when and what is the next art & craft project.
This is what i usually think during finals!

Oh crap... oh owl i mean, help me la!

la-la land

While I’m studying, my mind wonders to la-la land

In la-la land

Early in the morning
- happy music - big awesome rainbow hanging in the sky – yummy finger food – bubble machine – cute polka dots umbrella – big red checked mat – sporting & on high buddies – flashy camera – sunnies - jumping shots – birds chirping away - happy-happy laughter – board games – gaya-ly dressed up – teddy bear hugs - tasty lemonade – juicy updates & stories – sing out loud – nice sunny yet not not too hot day – semangat mood – happy kiddy colours – chocolate & blueberry ice cream -

and then suddenly suddenly raining like elephants and owls
- still super semangat – dance in the rain – drench from head to toe – run like kiddy till puas-puas – swing as high as possible– jumping shots! – play London bridge – jump into mud - shoick sendiri habis-habis – yell out loud – big macho water gun – merry go round – stick out tongue – sing barney song -

and then at night,
- super comfy pajamas – lie down – pretty lanterns - chatty chatty chats – count the stars – watch a happy ending movie - polish & paint nails with weirdo patterns – hear the frogs croaks – eat kuaci and popcorn - read a kiddy picture book till fall a sleep under the dark starry night -

olala... happy happy day =D

ar... Brain, focus!

My brain always like this. Always think of lebih-lebih stuff when I need to concentrat. During exam period, my dream book aka idea book is the book I flip open the most =D if ever you see me busy jotting down stuff lately, I most likely just jotting down about la-la land =)

gosh... I blog more often when exam is so close

Yea and -.-''

Hehehe... loving it!

i miss my hantu mok mok hair

I miss my super thick and kembang hair that needed at least 2 hours to totally dry it and wasted super lots shampoo and caused my scalp itched super easily and often caused my comb to stuck in it and always ter-eat the hair and always blocked my eyesight and made my head a bit more heavier and...

because of the hair, friends called me hantu mok mok , Ali? Abu? from KAMI, sampat po, Radi from OAG, rockstar, last class student and...

Despite all those nonsense, I still miss my super thick and kembang hair.

The hairstylist who molested my hair didn't cut short the length of my hair, BUT you should see the amount of hair he cut off.

IT WAS FREAKING A LOT!

I like and miss my hantu mok mok hair okay!

not so easy anymore =/

For the past 2 semester, before finals, I told God seriously that Him being with me is the most important.

Results don’t really matter when I have Him
I did stuff that caused me to have less time to study
For in Him, I have everything right? =)

Wow… seemed so much faith and trust.

For the past 2 semester, I got 1st class!! =D

When I put Him 1st, He took care of my results
I was in cloud nine and thankfulness.
For in Him, He fulfill my desire =D

Wow… seemed so encouraging and uplifting

After getting 1st class for the past two semesters, it’s really no longer easy to say results don’t really matter when I have Him. I have experienced the happiness to get 1st class & the gaya-ness to be Pemenang Anugerah Akademik Peringkat Kolej & the easily earned 30 merits from kolej for being a 1st class student & the satisfaction to put a smile on my parents’ faces. Oh oh… it’s not so easy to let go my desires and ask Him to take control again.

Wow… seems so susah to say results don’t really matter when I have You

O God, can I have both – You and 1st class?
Can I? Why can’t I?
I know I can’t.
It’s either You or none of You.

O God, I’m so selfish.
I’m very sorry but I can’t help it
I wish I am not so greedy
I wish I trust you more

Oh, I can wish as much as I want
But I still have to make a stand, a decision
Thank you for you unfailing love and grace
Loving the selfish, greedy me

Once again, I lay down my desires and have You to take control
I know You will take care of me when I have You
Once again I want to tell you that results don’t really matter when I have You
I want to choose you over stuff of the world

Ouch! It’s not easy, God.
But I know, one day, when I read back I will remember this day
The day that I struggle and argued with my flesh and You
The day that I made a wise decision and will not regret it

Thank You for letting go and risking Your crown for me
Thank You for doing the will of the Father for me
Thank You for loving me the doubter, me the no body :)
Thank You

HUGS!

best way to cut of the addiction of card making

firstly, take the craft knife and change to a new blade for safety purposes. secondly, take the blade and cut the thumb.

result guarantee =)

no longer can hold a ruler firmly to cut papers or fold a paper nicely. if you still insist to do it, blood will drip out and stain the precious nice papers. so end of the story of card making addiction

win-win situation.
hands get to rest, brain get to study =)

yea and -.-''

time to study =D

friendship

friendship.
what is friendship?
why is there friendship?

friendship.
is a friendship worth your fight?
is it worth risking your face & time & effort for a friend?

walking away and blame each other is so much easier but then we are friends.
we are friends. friends fight for each other, right?

every friendship are worth my fight, at least till now =)

friendship must be the best ship on earth =)

oh sesat sikit.
today, i realize i still miss this place
after more than one year, i still miss this place
91 Kelburn Parade

one day, i would really like to go back there again.

Go back there again to take a peek in the comfy room with nice side windows, walk in the busy streets alone, eating yummy ice cream in the cold, getting lost in the graveyard, be amused by the free museums, climb mt Vic till kaki wanna patah, have a cup of super good coffee by the sea, eat in the Korean restaurant =)after a long day out, sit the super on time bus, search for cool post box, cook miso soup after a super cold walk...

ar... i miss Wellie =)

busy owl

gosh! i finished my assignments yet I'm still very caught up with lots random stuff!

wish people are more considerate and not think of themselves only and don't waste my precious time. =P

boring & complainy & arg! stuff aside.

yesterday, i saw a full very-clear rainbow!!!!! loving it... seriously, in my whole entire life i only seen a full very-clear rainbow twice. full as in that terputus-putus and not block by any silly tall building. very-clear as i could see the difference of every colors very obviously. it really make me very, very happy and blessed =) Reminded of God's faithfulness to us. It is also an assurance to me that He is still in control although at times i feel He rule the earth worse than Pak Lah rules Malaysia =)

with the semangat to make cards, junk sales & new bazaars & J card member's day & cool new found shopssss, and excitement to meet up & hang out with graduates are not helping me to study! too much nice stuff to do... how often we have cool stuff we are excited about! =)

it's weird to get updates about home from blog -.-'' yes, Jien now i'm telling you to sms & call me more often =) hahaha... =P

i still like Bangsar =) i like the nice lady who works at Booksforlife shop. I can take my own sweet time to read through it, choose slow-slow, compare the price&cover&writings, legally allow to open the seal wrapper, ah-ma around in the shop without being pressured. just love the feeling being in the shop. Plus the banana leaves rice in Bangsar =) (sorry, i don't remember the shop name) not the best i have eaten but most accessible to me. Rice+vege+spicy stuff+yogurt make me super duper happy! =) oh one day, i shall talk about the shops i like in Bangsar =)

i got to go now!
tata... have a beautiful day!

randomness

oh i'm back in UPM since last Sunday.
almost a week has past. time flies like a jet plane

on Friday, finally, i finished ALL my assignments.

then this lecturer, Dr. J who wasn't and still is not really happy that i asked permission to be exempted from class trip to go church, decided to give my 2 friends and i work to do. oleh hal demikian, i still got one work to do =/ which is to translate his slides from Bahasa Melayu to English. i'm quite fine with the work, just wish he gave us a longer dateline and give us with a good intention =)

oh about this thing - translation! in UPM edu fac, lecturers always encourage us to speak English and read books written in English. BUT then hor, 98% of our assignments are required to do in BM! where is the logic? i read and study in English, then i translate everything to BM -.-'' sesat! i should be able to graduate with a 2nd degree in translation kinda stuff.

today, FGA provided nasi lemak as dinner. then i'm reminded of all the nutrients and delicious food that i ate at home. home cooked nyonya pongteh but chicken version =P , grandma's nyonya otak-otak, sis new invention spaghetti goreng with lots of vege, misua with lots of vege + taufu, maggie curry with egg, korean instant noodles with lots of vege + fishballs, nice brown rice with salted vege + kicap =D , buffet with lots beef + 6 big juice oyster + lots sushi, and of coz kampung lapan wan tan mee and fried oyster as my farewell dish!!! =D erm... one day, i should post of my meals in upm and what is in my big food container =) Mum once said to me, if UPM has famine and draught, i would be last person who will die. =P

oh ya, i think the reason i got the semangat to wake up early or in the morning when i was at home was because of this song!

Not because i couldn't wait to use the towel but i was more awake and happy when i thought of the song when i woke up.
the song was one of the songs sang in Broadway Parodies Lagi lah... i watched it a few weeks back! i love it lots! really, really a lot =) don't mind watching it again =D

btw, going theater and stuff is really, really addictive! it kept playing in my mind and the yearn to go again is quite strong. hahahahaha... i will miss KL Pac when i'm in Melaka.

Lately, i have been thinking about my secondary school friends. the very weird mixture of secondary school friends i has =P

it's the 11th day since the last time i cut my hair. i still feel my hair felt molested! hahaha and -.-'' but can't help it not to mention.

last Tuesday, my kad matrik was banned from borrowing books for one month because i had more than 3 books on the table! seriously, i didn't know about the rule but then even if i knew it, it's still ridiculous to have the rule. each kad matrik can borrow 6 books but why can't i have more than 3 books on the lib table when i'm going borrow later? bo-doh!

today, a guy friend very randomly told me, i should marry to a pastor -.-''

last Thursday, for the 1st time in history, i skipped 5 hours of classes in one day =/ because i couldn't walk properly because... =P

oh ya, i still wish that i could attend Anna's birthday part which was held 2 months ago =) seriously!

my owl collection i expending a little =)

for the past 2 weeks, i feel artsy. hopefully it don't last too long as my finals is really, really around the corner. it's a sharp corner =/

last Wednesday, i lost one side of my owl earring =/ aku mencari dengan bersungguh-sungguh tapi tak dapat juga. but on the bright side, my fave pants that terkoyak few months ago is undergoing a healing process. hopefully, i still can wear it when it is heal =)

Tesco chocolate chip cookies is currently my fave cookie =) lots of chip and cheap! i like Tesco =)

i wish i have a nanny in UPM to wash and iron my clothes, prepare nutritious meals, clean my table, print my assignments, arrange my schedule to meet up with friends, wake me up for class, put in the right books in my bag, find my missing stuff, return lib books, write out formal letter when needed, fold my clothes nicely and arrange it according to colors =) and... ya, i want a nanny!

today, i earned 12 merits from kolej because i am one of the Pemenang Anugerah Akademik Peringkat Kolej =D =) *pat on the shoulder*

i still like long detail sms =)

this is what i do when upm net connection is good.

i should re-start my artsy project!! 12.02am =)
