My Very Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLINGS!!! The much anticipated day had finally arrived. I hope all of you enjoyed your Christmas. Coincidentally, this is my 100th post. yay!! Happy Birthday Jesus!! XOXO!!

During the wee hours of Christmas eve, Blackie and I were having our daily-past-midnight conversation but I got upset at a certain something. Since it was Christmas eve, I reconciled fast with him. I didn't want an unhappy Christmas and furthermore, this is our first Christmas together. Got to use this one as a scaffolding for (hopefully) future merrier Christmas. =D

The evening of Christmas eve, I followed bro and sis to Spring to do their last minute shopping and met up with Blackie since he happened to be at his shop. Invited him to grandma's house for our simple Christmas dinner. Glad he could join. hehe.... He clicked well with my family members. My mum seem to be very accepting of him since they both are pretty swell jokers. hehe... Was suppose to attend the annual midnight mass but mum said she felt like going for the evening service so, I didn't attend. Felt bad. I'm sorry Jesus. =(

At grandma's. Baby Tyler looks so cute!

Little icky yet adorable Tyler and the candy cane I gave him.
Belligerent Iva looking angelical in white. We bicker every time we meet. haha...

Instead, I sinfully followed Blackie to Christmas countdown together with his friends. I felt absolutely out of place yet again. haha... I felt like a non existent being there. To add,the event was terribly boring beyond tolerance and I didn't know any of his friends so, I had no one to talk to AGE DOES MATTER!! I really covet those people who are friends with their boyfriend's friends and their friends are their boyfriend's friends too. That'll be supremely delightful. Am wistful. sigh...

Oh ya! Not to mention, his girl friends are gorgeous!! Daunted, I am. hahahaa.... They are like all so pretty. It was then that I realize Kuching do have quite a lot of pretty ladies. I know I'm not a very good girlfriend. Even a best friend of mine told me that she's sorry for the guys I date. awwhhh.....I agree too. She's right. I felt awful for Blackie. He has lots of pretty girl friends and I'm confident a handful of those girls could treat him way better than me but the poor fellow is stuck with me. I kind of like pour out all that I was thinking that time to him and all his replies were so sweet and loving. He's such a nice boyfriend but I really treat him nastily sometimes with all those harsh words that came out from my mouth. Harsh as in horribly mean but not profanities ok. I am profane-free. haha..

After whirling and twirling endlessly around Kuching, he gave me my Christmas present. Elated to the max because that's the only present I have for Christmas. Parents, grandparents, aunt, and uncle gave us money instead of presents. Don't mind though. Thank goodness I have Blackie's present. What is Christmas without presents. hehehehehe... To the devout,I comprehend perfectly that Christmas is more than just presents but I grew up insinuated with the fact that Christmas comes with presents. Cut me some slack, please? =)

Took that after he passed me the present. He's such a sweetheart.

When I got home, exhilaratingly showed Ann my one and only present and opened it. Happy!! He definitely got me things I adore. He got me one of those fancy jewelry hangers which I told him I like when we were window shopping together. He got me "Chance" by Chanel!! Love love love its sweet-smelling scent and of course the brand.hehe.. I love perfumes! It may sipped out as a very cliche gift but it works for me and I'm sure most girls like them. =)

Thank you,Blackie!

The night of Christmas day which was just now, he picked me up rather late because he was having dinner at his friend's place which I declined to join and my dad was muttering and relating his lateness to the type of guy that he is. sigh.... Daddy ah, he's nice la... he treats me with utter respect and care..

Gave him his present. I hope he likes them. He brought me to Bing to have my favorite hot chocolate. nyaha!! gratifyingly ambrosial. woohh... Then,car ride a bit as usual then, he sent me home. I had a pretty simple Christmas but it's with whom I spent it that made my Christmas a very merry one. I love you, Karvin!!

I love you, mum,dad,Ann,Ian,grandma&pa, and friends!! I love Christmas! Thank you God for everything.

Thank you darlings who had wished me a Merry Christmas. Love all you guys! Hugs and Kisses!

Pre-Christmas Present

My camera had arrived and I love it. It's handy dandy,compact, dons a pretty metallic blue coating and it comes with its matching casing too, but best of all, it's free. lalalala... I adore pretty freebies. Don't pretend you don't! haha..I don't find it worth it to spend a thousand or so on one gadget. I'd rather stuff my wardrobe. I'm so happy. I've got a nice free phone and now a camera thanks to my mum's adeptness in competitions. I count myself really lucky. =)

This is my first personal camera. Elated. Awaiting my vain alter ego to sprinkle out. hehe

Thanks mum for the pre-Christmas present!! ^^ Daddy oh daddy...*.* What are you going to get me?? *grins*

These few days had been pretty swift. Bought stuff I like, went out with people I like, ate stuff I like, do whatever I like, and got what I really wanted. Please please let happiness continue flooding in. =)

Tired. Signing off... XOXO

The Spring, Kuching

Lovely Jewels
Hey darlings! Prior to occasions, The Spring would allow small stalls to be set up temporarily so, since Christmas is just around the corner, my aunty set up a stall selling jewelries and some Christmas embellishments. It's located in between Nike and Giordano.

Every piece is unique and are imported else where. Ranges from cool gemstones to bona fide Swarovski crystals and even pure shells. There are funky and chunky ones, feminine ones, classy ones. Just a whole array of nice jewelries if you really know how to play around with them. Jewelries lovers, go check it out. They'll be there until 29th December. =D

The few that I manage to capture.

Dad's short. haha

I, being the good girl that I am, will be helping out at the stall tomorrow just for the fun of it. Later to be exact since it's past 12am and already 8th December.. hehe... Ok, you caught me. Mum is paying my sis and I if we work and I am craving to shop but am broke. Well, not only am I broke, I'm in debts. haha... I owe my brother some ka-chings so, to be solvent again, I got to work. Oh ya, remember I said my mum offered me RM 50 a day if I cleaned the house. hehe... I haven't started yet. My witty mum knows me best and that I despise house work, that's why she offered me that kind of easy money because she knows I was merely saying. -_-"

Theft!!!
Speaking of The Spring, I find the management foolish to the core of preposterousness. Yesterday evening, my mum went to help out at my aunt's little cute stall but, only to lose her handphone. She was partly at fault for leaving it unattended on the table but stealing is immoral!! She suspected that it was one of the salesgirl from Giordano because she came to the stall earlier on. There's not really many people that visit the stall at once so it's easy to pinpoint who.

She reported it to the management of course because there's a CCTV camera like just diagonally above the stall. It's understandable that the management wouldn't allow her to see the video but to add that the CCTV could not capture clearly is such a feeble. Don't you think? Then, what's the point of having the dirt low quality CCTV camera there? Just to paint a safer picture of the mall to shoppers? Puh-leezee...That's sheer dumbness which agitates me a lot. Forgive me, but I really hate it when adults give illogical answers and expect us to just gobble it in as though we are brainless cogs.

They even ask my mum if she was going to make a police report. I suspect that they are afraid of the hassle they need to go through if a report is lodged because with that,they would have to show the video to the police and you know how these things tend to leak to the public, hence, tainting their reputation. Imagine if the police actually go arrest the Giordano salesgirl, IF it's really her. OOoooo..what a scene,right?

We understand they want to save themselves from the probable commotion but at least let my mum know if it's really the Giordano salesgirl whom she highly suspected. When my mum went to Giordano to look for the girl, she refused to come out from wherever she was hiding. She said she was on a break or something like that. Now,isn't that just odd? If she's innocent, what was she afraid of and if she's innocent, she won't even know why my mum wants to see her right? Hrrmm.... fishy fishy.... My mum wasn't even planning to lodge a report, it's just a handphone after all. She just wants her contacts in the phone and knowing my mum, she won't even get the girl arrested.

The camera is just there. I'm no CCTV expert, but you guys tell me if you can buy the excuse from the management which is the camera couldn't capture a clear picture. Of course, it wouldn't be crystal clear but I'm sure the rough figure and image of the person could be seen.

Uh oh~~Christmas Dilemma

Alright sweeties! Need some help.

Christmas is like what..19 days away!! but I haven't gotten my thoughts straight on what to get Blackie for Christmas yet. I'm really clueless when it comes to presents picking for guys.

Blackie isn't the type that likes the cute approach. I got him some cute stuffs for his birthday but he wasn't blown away by far. Well, obviously. Hold in your laughters for what you're about to lay your eyes on. Be tactful. haha... I'm really bad at getting guy's gifts ok. =(
Gave him those and my very own handmade cornflakes cookies and the yumm-o-licious secret recipe cake.haha...

I kind of like went last minute shopping for his presents. Guilty!! I actually bought the heart pillow and the rather frivolous yet cute slippers the afternoon before his birthday dinner. I felt bad too that Joanne Lim had to rush to design my customized cup because I needed it the very next day.

I simply didn't have the time as I flew back to Kuching like only 2 days before his birthday so the shortage of time forbids me to scour through all the gift shops and shopping malls and thoroughly think through and consider. I just had to grab whatever there is. haha.. And mind you, Kuching is like an extreme treacherous labyrinth when it comes to gift hunting. You really need lots and lots of time to come across eye-catchy stuffs. Trust me!!

The embarrassing thing is that I used to laugh at my brother's soft toys from girls. I used to think that those are just plain ludicrous but he's alright with the cute approach though. Now, look what I did. Oooooo.... yes, I'm your contradictory monster. I actually really like the slippers because they're adorable and it screams when you press the toe. Was actually reluctant to give it away...haha.. It's pretty costly for a pair of house slippers. It was about RM70 but it's so cute!! Couldn't resist. The heart pillow was the best there is and I didn't have time anymore so just grabbed it. It's not very pretty. I wish he'd give me a heart pillow. I loved them since young. Still musing......

Now, for Christmas, cracking my head but nothing productive ballooned above my head yet. Sigh...

I'm giving him the Christmas stocking which I mentioned in the previous post after stuffing it with his favorite Ferrero Rocher and Famous Amos cookies and other chocolates. He's a chocoholic just like me!! Yay!! Going to try bake him some cookies or muffins but that's not a certainty yet because I'm a pathetic failure when it comes to baking. Going to get him Nike t-shirts, I guess since he's always wearing Nike's. Oh ya!! That day's Quiksilver half price sale was disheartening. Even with my brother's help, I couldn't find anything nice.

So you see how lame my ideas are. That's not going to work so, help me out!!! Guys!! What is it that you guys like and what do you girls give? Sigh... what a conundrum...

Christmas Decorative Gifts

I know I've said it numerous times but let me just say it once more. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!... and all stuffs associated with it. My mum has a friend who kind of like use her house as a showroom for the hodgepodge of stuffs that she sells. Oh my gosh. The stuffs are gorgeous.

It's really half the battle to stumble upon extremely unique yet gorgeous Christmas embellishments in Kuching with good quality and affordable price. She imports those stuff from somewhere else so yea, they're unique and the price is sweet because I think she's doing it more on the fun of it and not so much on profit. Very inexpensive. Nice!!

That friend of my mum is impeccably nice too. Very friendly and accommodating. Like her and her stuffs. =D

She told me to lie down and make myself comfy whilst she chat with my mum in the other room. Hrrmm... maybe that was a way to make me feel less ostracized?? haha... nahh... just kidding..

Christmas is a time of giving and I so so so so drop dead love commercializing Christmas. Presents isn't an option. It makes Christmas all that more interesting and extraordinary.Don't you think so? Sadly, Blackie isn't much of a Christmas lover. Don't care. I have got to instill the love of Christmas into him regardless. =p

Let's start with Mr. Snowy. It's not just a still-good-for-nothing decoration. It can be opened and you can store stuffs in it. I have a fanatic fetish for snowman. They look so adorable. I can't contain myself. hahaha.. sounds as though I'm going to rape him...
Love these. I thought of giving this to Blackie's family. The vibrant colors and all are so Christmas filled. Not sure if they'd appreciate such stuff.
Gingerbread!!!!! You can open the house and make it into a cookie jar or something. The teapot and cup is adorable too.
My mum loves them to bits.
The legendary Christmas icon as a coffee cup.
This is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE!! It's gorgeous!! It's actually sweet pink but bad camera plus bad photographer kind of degraded it's beauty. Sadly, it's reserved by another of my mum's friend. It'll be such a great gift for Blackie's family or his mum at least.
The series of decorative plates. Placing it on the kitchen table definitely would lit up the Christmas atmosphere.
Miniature jewelry box like maybe store that one particular favorite necklace or something. Love it because it's a "monolith" of Mr. Snowy. haha...
The picturesque quaint Christmas stocking. Like it because it's not too fancy and it has Santa, the Christmas tree, the star, and Christmas berries. All the primary ingredients of Christmas.

Those two little lovelies are the salt and pepper shaker.
Simply picturesque.
I actually think these stuffs are similar to those of Russ but the price difference is inarguably huge. Russ' stuffs are a rip off. Just my point of view. I do love stuff from Russ, don't get me wrong.

In the other room where she sells clothes, accessories and all those whatnots.
My freshly recuperated sis who claimed to lost weight after being sick.

Yours truly. XOXO
neh-nee-neh-nee-boo-boo

I can't wait till Bel comes back and we can Christmas shop together. Hope all you guys enjoy your Christmas shopping too. Muacks!

My Christmas Wishlist

I can't stress enough on how much I loveeeeeeeee Christmas. The atmosphere of Christmas itself is lovely enough. The soothing sounds of Christmas carols to the warm family gathering is inexplicably joyous. It's just so calming and loving. Love love love Christmas. It'll be so much greater if we had White Christmas here in MALAYSIA which is near the EQUATOR! GrrrRRr!

And of course, presents are as lovely. =D I remember when we were younger, mum would bring us shopping and we were allowed to buy quite a few. My sis and I were Barbie dolls addict back then. All we bought were Barbie merchandise. Oh, and those DIY nail art and play dough machines too. My brother who was a video game junkie, asked for none other than Nintendo and Sony games. You know the tape type. No disc games yet that time. haha....

After purchasing what we wanted, we would stare at mum wrapping them up and embellishing the tree with lots of presents. Daily, we would just sit in front of the tree and start arranging and changing the positions of our own presents nicely and admiring it while anticipating the day we could open and embrace them.haha...the old days were fun..

My impatient brother used to open his presents beforehand and then replace it with his old video games so he could pounce right on with his new one. haha... Silly dumbbell. Oh oh oh!! Speaking of brother. He's coming back home this Monday, err wait... tomorrow's Monday. Weeeee!!! Haven't seen him for 4 months. Miss his annoying ass.

As we grow older, our presents get lesser and lesser. There's only 3 things that I'm musing to own. But being the *ahem* rational person that I am, I'm just going to let mum pick whichever she wants to give me.

I want a camera to meet my narcissistic needs. hehe... The one which I really really really liked since last year is the red DSC-T300 but it's too expensive. Would be grateful to settle with the DSC-T2. =)

Drop dead gorgeous!
Adequate. ^^

Still, I think maybe it's a bit too much to ask. I should save up and get it myself.

So, I don't mind getting a nice watch. Perfect for my unpunctual slothful self. Haven't eyed on any particular one yet. Don't mind the Fossil Charm Bracelet Watch though.
The other option would be mum's suggestion of a necklace. Don't mind that too. =)

If only Santa really exist and I wake up having all 3 of these.Utter bliss. haha.
