Yupp::~
It's been a (very) long while since CNY::~
Well::~

So::~
Bear with my need to commemorate this memoir here::~
=)
My open house party is posted here too::~
(To Peter :: Seeeeeeeee, I did it::~)The traditional "Family Photo"::~

My The awaited angpow session::~

My Mom's "Precious Darlings"::~
On the "flora and fauna" criteria::~
Inclusive of me of course::~
I'm on the "homo sapiens" criteria::~

Well::~
Now, they're replaced by orchids::~
Not me as well k::~
*
*
*
After the usual vegetarian breakfast::~
We hit the road towards Daddy's hometown::~
Ipoh::~

Yes::~
We're such a couple, no~?
Well, after reaching our hotel::~
My sisters & I were still all drowsy::~
Daddy went down to yum cha with his frend from Aussy::~
And I was lying on the bed::~
and for no utter reason::~
I gave myself a hickey::~

It was a huge step for me k::~
I've never gotten to give Simon or anyone for that matter::~
A real-LONG-lasting-RED Hickey::~
And this one lasted bout 1 week plus::~
I'd be all happy and proud::~
IF
I can do it again::~
=.="""
Anywayz::~
Then it was Dinner with my Dad's Elder Bro::~
His sons (my cousins) had their new houses
SIDE BY SIDE::~
So nice~!!!

Back on topic::~

to go to them to get their angpows::~
Not bad ya::~
Yakult with angpows attached::~
xDDD
More babies~!!!

As shown in the series of picx above::~
I'm happy to conclude that
my sis has a better hand at calming babies down
for pictures::~
Either that or I'm a better photographer::~
=)

Yea::~
it matches my pink Roxy top::~
=D
Then it was Dinner with Uncle Wai::~
With his daughter, Ling::~

Yes::~
Girls will be girls::~

My lil sis had her hair pimped::~

3rd Day of CNY::~
We did a good deed::~
Donated to::~

My donation::~

They should totally cancel the "Only"::~
It should be :: FIFTY BUCKS~!!!
Who can say::~
"Oh cheh, I donated 50 bucks ONLY Maaa."
*sigh*
There goes my angpow money::~
But my sis(s) donated too::~
Even my lil sis gave 10 bucks k::~
So, I should be proud of us::~
Hmmm::~
Anywayz::~
Then it was to my Eldest Auntie's Florist::~
My sis(s) and I grew up in that place::~
Playing with the flowers, decorating baskets with them...etc
So while my parents were busy gossiping::~
We took losta picx~!!!

Is it some sort of a taboo for the brides~???
Hmmm::~

My lil sis and her teeny-weeny basket::~
My white roses::~
In different lighting::~

& introducing::~

Last bit not least::~Hahahahaha::~
& his wife::~
(In meLLie's pose)

She wanted the rose

Now introducing::~
Mr. totally-scared of me and my sis(s)::~

Cute right~???
But he attempted to
scream down the entire building
if I so-much-so touched him::~
My ears had hurt so much from his yelling::~
Anywayz::~
Back on topic::~

Peacock feathers~!!!

I bet it'll look really exotic in my wedding bouquet::~
=)
And I found a humoungous flower::~

This pic was taken as I was chasing my nephew all over::~
Cool effect rite~???

when I saw this::~

Hong::~
Who says it cannot be seen~???
Ishhh::~

Shereen came next::~
Then these are picx from Pris of my room

Pris::~
It's not self-obsession::~
It's the not-enough-photo-frames solution k::~
Use the walls::~
xDDD
and she was having a ball with the CNY plant::~

Now::~
This is self obssesed::~
xDDD
Just joking::~
But I gotta admit it runs in the L3 family::~Chiqs in my courtyard::~

The only ones who followed my WEAR RED rule::~
=.=""""
Mind you, Pris::~
It took me a pretty long while to understand
which part of my house is this::~
It didn't occur to me it was the stairs AT ALL::~
I thought you guys found some hidden tunnel in my hse or sth::~
xDDD

If my parents do read this::~
We LOVE YOU both~!!!
Muaxsxsxsx*

~Love,
Your 3 angels::~

10,000 BC----in English~?

You'd think it was weird for prehistoric people to speak our current language::~
Some critics say they should have made it a silent movie::~
After all::~
All the other tribes spoke gibberish anywayz::~
Well::~
T'was a nice-ish movie::~
1st part wuz a lil *yawn* time-consuming::~
"Destiny-by-accident" Boy goes on journey to save Girl::~
Besides the mass amount of prehistoric animals
charging the screen::~
*Boring*
2nd part was chunted::~
The "war-zone" part::~
Loads of action::~
But the priests were so gay::~
Like the Egyptian version of "tai kap(s)"
& the blind dude creeped me out::~
O.o
&
The last part made me go::~
"HUH~???"
I mean::~
Girl dies::~
and then her God-granny gave her life to save her::~
Girl comes back from the dead~???
And boy somehow knew that she would "re-live"::~
and the whole "prophecy" was fulfilled::~
So::~
At the end::~
Everyone was saved by a bag of beans::~
=.=""""
They cant just make it a lil more dramatic~???
Well::~
Overall::~
Despite the predictable plot::~
I enjoyed watching the prehistoric animals
& the pyramid-in-buliding part::~
(^.~)
&
Here sth for laughs::~
Baby and his fav prehistoric animal::~
The Sabre-tooth tiger::~
Which they named "Spear Tooth"::~

Hahaha::~
Simon de D'leh:~

& meLLie::~
His Evolet::~
Hmmm::~
I like that name::~
(^.~)

Missing da Bestie::~

Haha::~
Cute fan right~???
I've been getting ppl to say it's adorable::~
xDDD
*
*
*
Anywayz::~
Went to Cheong-K with da B'boy::~

Cool pic really::~
Our noses "morphed"::~
Neglected da lunch with the bestie::~
=(
Muaxsxsxsx*
Well::~
Here's our NiuZeXui post::~
(finally~???)
=.="""
Cuz it was during CNY::~
Haha::~
But my original CNY post is also still-under-construction::~
Along with the Jay Chou Concert one::~
*sigh*
Too many posts::~
Too little time::~
Anywayz::~
*
*
*
Introducing::~
Chyi's very 1st visit to NiuZeXui::~
=D
Unfortunately::~
I've to lie to my ol' ma to get our butts there::~
Said that we're going to Sunway Pyramid's Friendster Cafe to yumcha::~
But::~
Instead::~
We went to NiuZeXui::~
Hmmm::~
Naughty us~???
Chyi challenged me to get us there under 15mins::~
I did::~
=)
traffic was good::~

Haha::~
We're "tall"::~
Metaphorically speaking::~Made her take that shot::~

xDDD
After buying my donuts::~
We went to the ultra-sleek 3 storey Starbucks::~She fell in love with the place::~
My 2nd storey was occupied with some ppl::~
And knowing us::~
and the amount of havoc we make::~
andso::~
to the top floor it was::~
Tho it was kinda warm::~
We set up our territory::~
=)
It was good to have the place to ourselves::~

From her bestie::~

The replica of my Prom dress back in 2006::~

Our top priority::~

& stay::~

=D
oh::~
and Chyi edited our butt pic::~

=)
Sweet::~

Haha::~
Looks like a post card::~
xDDD

Our chiqx-made-havoc::~
=D
I had a great time::~
Tho some shots were kinda forced::~
By me::~
Cuz she din't wanna teman me for all the besties shots::~
When there was a lady who came to "our floor"::~
But wad's a besties' outing without besties shots~???
=.="""""

ish::~
Haha::~
Muaxsxsxsxsx::~

To Da Bestie,
p/s Saw the hugging thingy in your blog::~
Just gave you your 397th hug~!!!
=D
p/p/s Question:: Are you sure you'd let a person hug you so many times~???
In real life~???
p/p/p/s I'm guessing not::~
xDDD

What girls do best::~

Shopping::~
For Him::~
When he's just plain lazy to get a new one::~
Or maybe there's a sale at Quiksilver~???
Where I couldn't help myself but conduct retail therapy::~
(For his greater good)
Plus, that's the reason I got a Roxy Card, right~???

Now I know why guys love using "the cap"::~
It's basic::~
Non fussy::~
No styling of hair required::~
Casual::~
Sporty:~
You can use it to avoid eye-contact with the lecturers
when you're sleeping during their lectures::~
Or the occasional stares from the stalker girls whom
you don't want to make eye-contact with::~
AND
it's oh-so-cool to wear it
to college::~
That's why Jay Chou's so into it right~???
x)

Hmmm::~

I should get one too::~
But Roxy's current designs are like crap::~
*sulk*
They should hire a new design coordinator::~

Muaxsxsx::~
Hope you love it, Baby::~

*
*
*
Now::~
My next major retail score::~
My new Miss Sixty(s)~!!!

Happy me~!!!
(^.~)

The throat-ripping price b4 discount::~
I saved at least RM100~!!!
xDDD
Worth every penny~!!!

Love the unique back design::~

And the RED undertones too~!!!

Hehe::~
I'm so brand obsessed:~
But one thing about the overly-branded and over-charged heels::~
Don't waste money on them::~
Unless::~
They have the design and quality::~
(^.~)
I'm satisfied with my new babies::~
Let me figure out how to walk properly in them::~
Cuz there's a problem with the size, I think::~
They seemed to have grown when I brought them home::~
Gotta get those cushion thingy(s) to fill them out::~
Cuz now, they're too loose::~
=.="""
*sigh*

Uni Life~???

So yes::~

I'm an OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY STUDENT::~

Nope::~

B4 the whole working thing anyway::~
Ah well::~
