christmas tree
Originally uploaded by evelynsaw


it’s the time of the year again.. where we all get in the mood for celebration, holidays, get together for makan sessions, and my all time favourite present time!! funny huh? when its year end you sit here and try to recollect what you have been doing the whole year round….

last year around this time of the year i was shopping for a christmas tree (see picture above.. nice huh?)… with someone thats now part of my life history but totally wiped off from my memory bank… what i remembered was the feeling of choosing a tree with someone.. its really fun… so many trees… all sizes… all shapes… all kinds of fur…. fiber optic tree anyone? damn cool tree that sings?

the process of choosing the right tree to some maybe easy… but well the part of surveying prices… which place has got the nicest tree that suits the budget.. that was the toughest part.. and after that its the choosing of what goes into the tree.. all those little baubles… ribbons… trinkets… which angel to go with… the colour scheme… the stars… the lights… its a real headache and some might end up colour blind!!

actually buying a tree with someone you can really
1. see the personality of the person…
2. tests your patience…
3. test your stamina (yeah you really have to walk ok!!)
4. memory (which place got what and what price)
5. the differences in taste (i love blue… he likes white and i kept choosing all the blue stuffs which in the end got over ruled and taken off the basket)
6. learn how to control your temper (not to maul at ppl when your ideas got rejected for e.g.!!)
7. see who has got a better negotiation skill… i’m better at bargaining for price…

but its the feeling when you finish fixing up the tree… switch off the lights… and then turn on the running lights of the tree… wow…. nothing beats that kind of warm feeling to see the end result of your labour…

didn’t really sleep well yesterday night… must be something i ate during yesterdays lunch.. end up being like a monkey scratching here and there.. now i’ve got this full blown rash!!

ok i cant concentrate already…. darn itchy….

it’s a lovely saturday night…. was very tired today after work… but i was really looking forward to meet up three of my really good friends.. sometimes i really appreciate that though we have our differences… and after all these years (20 yrs of friendship!!) its really hard to come by friends who are really sincere… so i’d like to introduce you 3 persons here who mean alot to me.. they shared a big chunk of my childhood.. and probably know me better than anyone else… carmen, chermaine and cindy… ironic isn’t it?? all also starting with ‘c’ : )

we were celebrating carmen’s b’day way in advance cos of everyone’s busy schedule of flying here and there due to work commitments… it’s great to see everyone putting effort to try to update each other with the happenings around us… being support pillars when we need to “air out” and like tonight its more to just celebrating carmen’s birthday… to me… its like celebrating our friendship.. though we dont see each other everyday anymore.. play together every day… doing things we always do.. but the fact that though friends come and go alot in our lives… somehow after all those lapse and all.. we still try to be there for each other…

It’s raining now
The sky is pouring
Just like my love live
Its boring me to tears

After all these years
Seems like there is no sunshine.. no moon light
No stardust and sad romance
Just plain rain drops and tears

There is nothing left for me over here
And I won’t waste another tear

Was at a waterfall having a picnic with a guy… We were sort of like hopping on rocks to get to a higher spot… You know me and my phobia for heights la.. So hopping on rocks! With water rushing below… Is like a hell of a big task to me!!

Then when he knew of my phobia he said… Let me hold your hand…

I was like huh? Why? What for… Why should i let you hold MY hand when i can decide whether to hold yours or not, when i need help (so ego huh!)

But he was damn patient and repeated “Sweetheart, please let me hold your hand so that you don’t fall into the river.”

“What’s the difference, i will hold yours when i need help la ok?” i said (gee still so stuborn…)

“There’s a big difference,” he replied.”If you hold my hand and something happens to you, chances are that you may let your hand go”.

But if i hold your hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, i will never let my hand go.”

Wow so damn touched… and i let him hold my hand laaa… Its got that electric vibe kinda feel… The kind of touch that could cause every single cell.. Every single mucsle… Every single neuron to respond in a positive way……

Then i was eyeing him from behind.. Hmmm nice square shoulder.. Medium built… More on the fleshy side (the huggable type)… kinda dark brown spiky hair…. oh yes a nice butt too!!

Sooooo romantic… then… “Ehhh whats that? Your hand phone arr? sounds very familiar la”

*beep… beeP… beEP… bEEP… BEEP*
**eyes fluttering**

And a familiar vision slowly faded into my view… I’m in my room… That darn alarm clock have to wake me up now!!!

I haven’t even got a glimsp of his face yet leh…. Aiyooooo…. Talk about wrong timing *mutter mutter* :Þ

Moral of the story….
1. don’t read romance novels just before you sleep…
2. don’t set the alarm clock one hour earlier, you may have a better ending of your dream..
3. don’t be so stuborn and argue so much..
4. nice guys only appear in dreams..
5. even when in your dreams you still have phobia for heights..

p.s. i’m not that desperate for a bf yet also.. still enjoying singlehood and my freedom.. but its a nice dream tho…

wow what a nice feeling! i’ve finally completed my reports for next weeks credit review audit… after numerous rework and changing of report criteria’s etc.. wow am i glad that it finally completed today…

it sure felt great to be able to walk out of office early today (about 7pm) went to visit ML at her brother’s house to pass her some documents from HR to sign and also her mails… felt so bad as i’ve not been able to spend more time and give her more motivation and encouragement lately…. wish my leave had been approved so that i could go with her to her chemo session tomorrow…

tonight i shall sleep early and would start to update my previous posts last weekend on the wedding.. so haphazardly done.. gosh i think i spotted some grammar errors too! please forgive me ok?

hey pang min.. you want to go with us to watch movie or not tomorrow?

oh hang on… jason is here to collect somethings…

ok i’m back… thoughts in my mind now…. better pen it down before it flies away….

just one smile…
one kind thought…
a big bear hug…
the pressense of close pals…
and the world seems a better place to be in….
that’s what i’m feeling now…

thats me after thomas finished with my hair… he was so sweet help me to take this picture… nice i like…..

close up of my hair….

another one……

thats me after the dinner… drunk and blurr….. and hair messy liao!

Terry and Alex’s Wedding (21.11.2004)

7.15- 7.30 am
its a very bright and beautiful sunday morning… the birds were chirping happily.. the peace and tranquility of the drive to Terry’s house was very pleasant… as i reached the front gate and walking past the pool leading to her home.. i can feel the bouce in every step i take (probably also cos i’m fat lar kekeke)

met up all the chee mui’s and had our attendance marked by nicole… then proceeded with our morning briefing on our task ahead… had some snap shots taken with my phone cos gordon didnt charge the camera the night before… so quality damn char… have to wait for the photo’s from Teri’s photographer…

8.30 a.m.
the heng tai’s were late! they thought they could escape much torturing if they came late?? you are in for a surprise guys!! we state our open door ang pau at rm699 and we will lower it if they could do the task that we had set for them.. otherwise.. rm100 will be added on…. and since they were late we are going to add rm100 for every 5 minutes so the tally was at rm1299

Task 1
to be performed by Hing… he was to swim to retrieve the correct stress ball from the pool (there are 5 balls) but there is only one ball that contains the clue to pass this stage… chee mui in charge sue, bee khee and kelly.. thats the pool where he had to swim…

Task 2
announcement of love to teri… to be yelled from the pool.. must be loud enough to be heard by all of us at the balcony…. then to get three strangers to wish alex congratulations… (shall get hold of the announcement and paste it here.. its in chinese :Þ )

Task 3
chai mui session (some sort of like a one two zoom session… but to make it more interesting we have Superman, Batman and Wonder woman) whoever lost must eat the below…. heng tai’s involved wai mun, hoong yew, ian, richard, siaw, vincent, howard and hing (stuffs prepared by peggy, nicole, and vivian)

cincalok

milo with peanut butter and bread

Task 4
we get to put make up on alex… ehehehe… to get him to look like yu far.. hahahaha…. check out the mug shot!! he is such a fun guy… never fail to fill my day with laughter…

Task 5
its called the Ogawa & music
heng tai’s are to sit on the sofa… with their feet on the reflex (we keep increasing the intensity)… while listening to the MP3 and then hum the song out for the rest to guess….. list of heng tai’s wee gin, gordon, nick, cheok gheen… sigh their singing skills damn bad no one maganed to guesss what they were singing…. can only hear yeowch.. ohh and ahhhss

Task 6
to create a peom with the words “hoi sum fei soh lo”

discounts??
since they were not able to guess the 5 songs the total tally came up to Rm1999…. to reduce the number of Open Door ang pau.. each insect eaten by the brotherhood will reduce the tally by rm100… hmm alex you better thank them huh… they walloped everything!!! so we had back our initial offer of rm699…

ugly cocraches…..

yucky centipedes

Love………… is not only made for lovers……. it’s also for friends who luv each other sometimes better than lover. Smile and spread some love today.

been thinking lately how come i’m always broke no matter whatever date of the month… then i noted down my expenditure…

insurance 20%
savings 20%
car & petrol 25%
internet & phone 10%
EPF 11%
income tax 1%
balance to spend 13%

basket after slogging my ass off the whole month i only get to spend 13% of the money!!!!

bulk of it went to some kind of savings 51% actually.. hmmm wonder i should cut down my insurance premiums.. then i can consider some kind of investments… at least it makes money grow… or change my car?

what you think?

if you are wondering why i’m so free to think about this…. i’m stuck in the office cos its raining ‘kuching dan anjing’ out there.. and i cant go home thats why got time to think such things…. not that wu liao right? financial planning bahhhh….
