under the weather but glad to be alive

Something new

No more updating this blog.

All things remained a memory here :)

I need something new.

this is my new blog :) The Little Things in Life

it has been awhile

我回来了！！

原来好久好久没Update了。。

很喜欢这一个background design. 非常嬉皮士风。I like.

正在找着一块那样的布，想做成桌布，或窗帘。。

菲利西亚说好几个大学讲师都问起我 -.-" 糟了。只好多两个星期后往槟城走一趟。看来得好好向Prof Amby好好解释。

最近生活过得很平淡哦。平淡得自己都不能接受这就是我 ^^ 还蛮享受的。印度回来之后脑袋里总是很多要想的东西，有时候思考太多觉得脑袋都缺氧。。

加上最近两个月，叔公病倒入园去世了、小表弟晚期脑癌、表妹视力渐渐消失，心里很怕很怕。虽然知道生命是uncertain可是，我害怕的是失去挚爱的家人的那种痛苦。

之后爸爸也病倒了，我整个人也快倒了，担心得吃不下，睡不着。眼泪不听使唤的流个不停。有一两次为医生的无情而骂了医生。很内疚，其实我应该比任何人都更清楚明白医生的冷漠不是无情、而是他们不可以感情泛滥，因为对他们来说也是很痛苦的。每一天面对不同的病人，如果太容易被情绪牵着走，他们可是会疯的。

爸爸病倒的同一天，弟弟的公司竟然在凌晨被人破门而入把电脑，printer,fax machines,laptop等偷走了。看着累垮了的弟弟我心里也免不了一阵担心。。这可怜的弟弟呀，努力了两年公司刚上了轨道现在又有一箩的问题等着他解决。可我弟弟是很厉害的。没有问题难得到他能解决的问题他一定会搞定。钱吗？他会说，“姐，嗯。。我。。”他那聪明无比爱心泛滥的姐就是我就会马上把钱汇入户口了。哈哈哈。

呃？电话响了。。娘亲大人打来了

I miss my salsa

yes i'm missing my days busy doing rehearsals, my days rushing off from work to training and various workshops.. I shall start all these again.

Only partying at salsa clubs is not sufficient. Practice practice and more practice would be better :) here I come again, dancing-filled evenings...

And dear Andrea & Pedro. Nana misses you both... Senor, senor, I've got your favourite leche con cacao! Would you salsa with me :)

不经意看到这一个video...充满回忆的一个video呢！

1996年，也是我第一次到日本的那一年 :) 在那还千辛万苦要去看smap的show...我的okasan & Otosan 每天都查看杂志、报章、收集了一大堆takuya的海报啦，新闻啦。。。等等。好好笑。

很想念长头发的木村，超有型超酷的！那年有个日本男朋友，之后还交过几个长头发的男朋友 :P 哈哈哈，不知为什么??

嗯，木村真是长发帅男的鼻祖。jay chou、justin timberlake,穿背心松跨裤配西装外套？takuya早穿过了！jason mraz 头戴fedora每个人也一窝蜂的去买？lol.木村1996年也戴得很好看的说..

XoXo,

好不舍得。。。。

呜呜呜。。。我从小认识的好朋友阿茹告诉我她要嫁去槟城了。。。怎么办？

从小我的日子就有着她，上学放学课外活动，血拼、吃大餐离家出走旅行去，一直以来都有着她。

甚至和妈咪吵架哭哭啼啼的跑去她家避难。

俩个以前不会下厨的人，在很久很久以前一起学做菜，难吃得不得了还是忍耐着‘痛苦’，逼双方吃完。

还一起假装很厉害似的用她妈咪的zebra牌子pressure cooker来做生日蛋糕。幸好，没把厨房炸了。

后来交男朋友啦，开心不开心啦，我们都一起分享。总而言之，有福同享，有难同当。。除了她，没有另一个人向她一样，看着我，就知道我发生了什么事，遇上了什么困难。

我们俩也曾经问过对方，为什么多年以来我们还可以明白彼此的内心，为什么我们经过多年，还会是双方最贴心的朋友。。结论是没有一个结论。

可能是我们不曾向对方要求什么，没有expectation. 不离不弃地陪伴对方，很认真地对待这段友情，总是惺惺相惜。。。也可能是她和我一样在家是大姐，还有一个被宠坏的弟弟。

在她从电话另一端告诉我她的决定的时候。。眼泪不受控制的在眼眶里打转。

第一个反应是自私的，我在想，阿茹搬走了我怎么办？我伤心怎么办？我需要她听我的倾诉时怎麽办？

在想深一层，很开心很开心她终于找到了能给她幸福、能让她依靠的港湾。阿茹实在辛苦太久了，打从她家老爸得上癌症后，全家4口只靠她赚钱养家。她爸爸去世后，更是辛苦。如今有一个愿意和她分担一切、有一个好好保护她照顾她的男人，我相信，她一定是个最幸福的太太。

谢谢妳阿茹，这二十二年以来的一路相伴。你是我最爱的好朋友。

XoXo,

我的妈呀
应该没有其他男人和他一样，长得漂亮，既可以很理所当然地骚。。。也很理所当然地留长发。。。

I wanna thank you for standing by me. picking me up when I'm at my lowest. sharing my joy when I'm happy. accompanying when I'm lonely.listening to me when I need to talk.

Most of all, believing in me, even when I thought I can never go on any longer.

Thank you, for a good five years and I hope we'll always be there for each other.

Kiehl's Party August 8th 2009

Yeay! There will be a Kiehl's Party co-organising by Kiehl's and Vonvon of Vonvon's Interests this weekend!
I started reading her blog a few months back and i LIKE her blog a lot and then i followed her blog since :)

I'm so excited bout the party as I have never participated in any beauty workshop/1-1 skin consultation or make-up parties before. I wish I'm able to join in the fun with some of the fun bloggers out there!

Date :8th August 2009 (Saturday)
Time : 2-4pm
Venue : Kiehl's @ Pavilion, KL

According to Vonvon there will be a video presentation on introducing Kiehl's to the participants, personal 1-to-1 consultation to the wide range of its skincare, haircare, bodycare etc etc to all the participants! I strongly believe that each and everyone of us have different needs and preferences when it comes to our personal skin/hair/bodycare products thus this consultation session is really really GOOD for us newbies who never tried Kiehl's product before.

well, extra good news is that there will be finger food and drinks being served (so you won't get hungry-well, I'm sure everyone would be too excited to be hungry) and here comes the greatest of all, DOOR GIFTS for All Vonvon's guest! Now what are you waiting for? you have exactly about 1 hour 15 mins to send in your post before the contest ends :)


Dear Vonvon,
pick me pick me!!!!!!!

NaNa's fastest vegetarian meal :)

When I'm feeling a little lazy but still wanna prepare my own 3-course meal, I'd usually do this. Takes about half an hour, only! And they are all vegetarian dishes (all done by nana) Mom was amazed :) (okies, whn I'm really really lazy I usually just eat greens, skip dressings cos I'd be too lazy to even drizzle 'em on)

Veggie wholemeal pita served with mashed potato

(really easy, stuff varieties of veggie into any choice of pita bread you like)

Cantaloupe mixed-fruits salad with frozen banana

(drizzle some natural yogurt + juice of half lemon)

My favourite dessert :)

Chunky Avocado Mousse with Lowfat Choco Ice-cream and Strawberry Bites
(a light dessert yet flavourful!)

til my next attempt on new recipes,
xoxo

Weekend Ride 2nd -3rd May 2009.

I missed last week ride, so I made my own ride to Cameron Highlands on 2nd and 3rd May 09.

1st, Sungai Besar. Ate exotic foods - pangoline meat, ayam kampung and deer meat.







2nd, Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan.



3rd, Cameron Highlands. Only managed to take pic at the Brinchang Fire Station.



Vroom.. Vroom.. Black Stallion Is The Best..

wonder of stila bronzer? :D my thing!

ok, since i was making a hoohaa that i'm gonna die living without stila's bronzer...many friends have asked, why do i need a bronzer. since there are blushers and highlighters around. and bronzers from other cosmetics brands.

I know, and i've tried many brands but nothing like stila i love! *huhuhuuhu*

I love the natural glow that gives me a healthy complexion, and another big plus point is that it gives me a natural post-vacation tanned effect, not the sun-burnt effect!

(in this pic i wanted a healthy glow, cos i had a new bleached hair so i wanted something that could match!- the result? great great great!)

(in this pic i tried hard to make myself look tanned. I dunno i just adore tanned-skin. anyways, i layered on stila bronzer. the result? absolutely stunning!!call me perasan but i love it!)

(this is my chindian gang.i adore them lots. and i adore my wonder stila bronzer too. some of us wanted to head to dance and party, so i layered my stila baby a.k.a. the bronzer on top of illuminating shimmer. the result? u see with ur own eyes! )

like i mentioned, stila bronzer has always give me a 100% satisfaction! I'm a salsa dancer and i always opt for a tanner look instead of porcelain fair skin. i secretly think thta darker complexions gave me a slimmer illution physically,hahahhaaha.

love you,

xoxo

思

想回槟城转一圈
见见老朋友
也去看看大学教授

下来要与新朋友会面
吃的喝的少不了
再去海边莎尔萨

大学有着我为学子的天真
乔治市是购物狂附身时必去之地
各种小食摊喂饱了我们的肚子

有钱享受时去新关仔角
没钱但要放松大伙儿带着吉他去海滩
槟榔律上端有我和他曾经的疯狂

我喜欢曾经的我
属于这里生活的一分子
那份曾经有的是甜酸苦辣

回顾一下曾经的开心
也去找寻现在的我
我要探望我的珍珠屿

xoxo,

Stila, my bd present-S for myself

this post has gotta be in pink!

Stila is rumoured to close down in Malaysia, and I have been getting some items occassionally when I had the time to visit Stila counter at The Gardens.

1st visit:-
1 convertible eye colour
1 allover shimmer
1 lipgaze stick
1 stick concealer

2nd visit:-
2 highshine lipsticks
1 italk eye pallete

3rd visit:-
2 limited edition eyeshadow trios
1 mug
1 shimmer lipstick

4th visit:-
2 make-up cases
2 umbrellas

The 1st-3rd visits were at the Gardens, just near my office. At times I was just accom my friends but I always end up buying something!

The 4th which was just yesterday, I went shopping with my buddy at Pavilion, i went to Stila counter just to try my luck, i love the make-up case so much. You know, for all the 28th years of my life I have never had a make-up case, for some reasons. I dont have many stuff enough to fill a pro-make-up case, and also, the make-up cases are usually not-so-pretty :) so all these years my products are in make-up bags.

April is my bd month. And so it is the BEST reason for me to BUY more and more things for myself. Ahhh also I bought a Sunseeker bikini at Parkson Pavilion, 50% discount and buy top free bottom! Damn it the last time I bought it was RM139 for the top and RM119 for bottom=RM258!!!! Just for one pair! Now I just pay RM69.9 for the top and I got bottom for free! Weeeeeeeee! FYI Sunseeker is the only brand that I find great for a body like mine (u know, top heavy =_=") some designs are with underwired support so ur boobies wont look saggy!

Well, tata for now. Will post pis of my new stuff soon, as my buddy wanna see the stila stuff :)

there are still bout 2 weeks b4 MAY arrives, and nana can still buy presents for herself,

What Makes NaNa Happy?

clear water makes her happy!

Cute creatures makes her HAPPY!


Turtles swimming pass her makes her happy!


colourful fishes make her happy too!

Blue sea and sky are the bestest scenery


She laughs looking at ppl being vitimised!

Sun Sea Sand give her the happiest moment

Wearing wateva she likes make her happy

swimming in the sea taking pics is the nicest past-time

Surrounded by loving ppl is the happiest moment ( and meeting a hunk on holiday is great *winkwink*-notice the guy far left? lol)

Away from main land and the hustle busle of the city is the ultimate JOY!


wow how much she misses the sea,

xoxo
