Forgotten...

2011-07-26T13:52:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time like any other stories with happy ending but I think this one doesn't...a young lady devoted her whole life to her family. Her family was not well off and during her teen age she have started to work and she was lucky to find a job as a nurse and she though she does not have much knowledge or proper English language education background, she was offered to undergo trainings. She worked hard and she got through the training and worked as a nurse. At this point I think it looked like a happy ending for this young lady just like the fairytale story but that's just the beginning of her life.

She came from a big family consisting of her mom, two sisters and three brothers. During that time, everyone have settle off their life, getting married and have kids and all. She is a kind hearted lady and when there is a financial need from her siblings, she would try all her best to help without hesitation. She did not get married like all her other siblings does and she adopted a baby girl from a poor family. Along the way of bringing up her adopted daughter, she also adopted her nephew whom her brother did not care of.

No one would ever thought that one day their mother was showing signs of deterioration of physical strength or mental functioning which what we always call "senile". No one wanted to take care of this senile mother, giving all sorts of reasons and left the young lady to take care of their senile mother. She was not young anymore but she did not show much reasoning or hesitation because that was her own mother. At the start her brother provided some financial help to hire a maid but soon after that, he stopped helping out and as time passed, her mother's mental and physical deterioration gets worst. Her burden doubled without the help of the maid and she needs to take care of her mother's daily needs from shower to food. That's not all she has got to worry of. Her nephew was rather rebellious at his teen age and she had to go around chasing after her nephew to get him back on the education track so that it would ensure a better future for her nephew.
After three to four years taking care of her senile mother, her mother passed away. Nothing to be happy about but the least is that her burden has lessen and both her adopted daughter and nephew have went out to work. All her life working and at the end of her retirement, she did not own a property and rented an apartment to live with her adopted daughter.
Her daughter married and they live together with her daughter. Life was fine and her nephew and little brother visited her every month. Everything was good and who would have thought that she would get senile as well. I guess this problem will cause most of your close relatives to "stay away" from you...Her nephew and little brother who visits her every month, stops visiting her and there is once, that her adopted daughter went for a trip and desperately needed care for her adopted mother and placed her at the nephew's place. The sad thing is that this lady's nephew and family could not tolerate her being senile and force her to go home.
Sometimes I do wonder what this old lady has done for everyone is worth it or not because towards the end of the day, these blood-related relatives just push her away when she is senile...there are many "what if"s in my head; "what if she was not so kind, will she have a better life?", "what if she did not adopted a daughter, will any of her relatives take care of her when she's senile?" and there are simply too many "what if"s for me to ask...
I just think it's worthless to be kind for these type of people and sorry, I will not follow these foot steps to be kind and serve these kind of people even if I could...if they need help, fine, find another person in this world that have unconditional help with no interest rate and even no returns needed. I guess these people have reached my limit for "forgive and forget"...

Mixed Feelings

2011-07-12T09:27:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile since I last made a blog entry here and there are a lot of things happening in my life but somehow I just did not have that kind of motivation and inspiration...last semester was my last and it was a lot more stress compare to normal semester because of the urge to have all the subjects taken to pass but at least those effort paid off n___n

It's rather ridiculous that last time, I just wished that the semester break would extend some more for my hobby activities but now that I'm graduating soon, it just feels...weird? tired?

It just feels weird that last time, I always wished that I would graduate soon as possible but now I just feel like going back to that period of time to rush for assignments everyday, team up with different people for every semester, rushing for tutorial classes and skip for lecture classes *oppssy*

Let's not go on ranting hahaha XD

This week's offer from McDonald's is really tempting and people were lining up during lunch time O___O

Childhood Stories

2011-04-29T20:23:00.001+08:00

While my friends were paying for their car parking fee, I walk around the corner and polaroid-looking pictures caught my eyes... I always love polaroid motif collections and childhood themes items n__n When I saw them, I got stuck at the shop and I have to ask my friend to wait for me while I choose which one to buy *o*

I finally made the decision to buy these which are postcard collections that is pack in tin boxes ♥

The square tin box comes with 50 pieces of postcards in polaroid like form and 5 stickers ♥

The back of the polaroid postcards is an antique like postcard ♥

The saleslady told me that it was a sales and discount have been given and they pack in 4 mini clips and a string as a gift n___n

This is the image at the back of the tin box of the rectangular one ♥

It comes with 42 pieces of bookmark cards and...

5 pieces of stamps
Well, this set is packed with childhood theme cards and when I first saw it, I really wanted to buy it for it reminds me of the moments that I have imagined to have with my cat when I first had a cat as my pet ♥♥

♥♥ Among all the designs of the bookmarks, I love this one the most for it's a genuine and innocent friendship between a cat and the girl ♥♥

When I was about to make my payment for my collections, I found this lovely notebook diary and there were a lot of designs and I grab this rose pattern one for it's lovely♥♥

Fun and Work

2011-04-11T13:35:00.000+08:00

For the past few weeks, I have been kinda busy with my assignments since starting of this semester, our semester has been squeeze into 12 weeks instead of 14 weeks =___= Though so, I still have some fun hanging around with my friends n_n

This semester I am taking Digital Video and Audio which I could do filming and I get to use the semi-pro camcorder to record my video ^___^v

Actually last sem, we used the same camcorder to do our Final Year Project (FYP) but I have no idea how to use it and most of the time, we just leave it to one of our group member who has some idea about filming and handling the camcorder ^__n

Honestly, the filming part was really fun though the preparation was quite troubling for not all the items that I need for our filming is available in one place =___+

All the hours of preparation and filming is in this 1 hour mini DV tape *o*

♥ Random fun stuff ♥

McD free breakfast spam XD
One of our ~~crazy~~ fun activity n___n

Shocked to Sadness...

2011-03-08T16:22:00.000+08:00

Yesterday the whole morning, my handphone was in hibernate mode and when I was charging my phone, it was already around 10pm...I switch on my phone to check if there is anything and there were 2 messages which one is from Digi (promotion message) and one was from an unknown number and I thought that might be some prank messages or some wrong number when I read the first few words until I came to see my friend's name...I mean car crash is like a daily news on the newspaper but I did not think that it would happen to my friend...
Honestly, I was shocked that I was stiff but it feels motionless and I could believe it for just a few weeks back..he was posting about the Chinese New Year Gathering on Facebook and now...
I hardly could sleep last night and I asked my friend where is the funeral but she adviced me that it's best that I should not go and I was was emotionless and I think I stayed up late last night but there was no tears from my eyes until this morning when I wake up, my tears rolling down my cheecks and the tears was flooding in my eyes when I was driving to my friend's house...
When I reached my friend's house, I finally broke down and start crying out...
My memories about him was rolling in my head...
I hope that he will rest in peace in the hands of God...

Happy Chinese New Year

CNY approaching...very soon...

2011-01-23T22:00:00.003+08:00

Every year when this time comes, there is only 2 things that bug me

1 ---> My exam result (it won't bug me anymore next year)
Well, at least the result was released already on Friday and at least my study had paid off
(well not that of a hardwork but at least what I have done for my study is what I have get)
So I'm gonna reward myself by opening up a box of Pullip doll (maybe 2 box?)

Image taken from dan_dal
2 ---> Spring cleaning...my worst nightmare...
Basically, I have an allergy to dust (weird but true) but I SURVIVE IT! Though I have a lot of scratch on my hands and legs due to the itch from the dust allergy... well... at least the good news is that I'm down to a few more things to prepare for Chinese New Year (CNY) n_n

Well, other from spring cleaning, there are some To-Do-List for my own before CNY
--Make some clothes for my doll darlings--
--Clean up my room (^_^lll) --
--Drama marathon (not that important XD)--
--Sharpen my crocheting skills--
--Do some scrapbooking (Something to inspire myself)--

♥♥Less Talk and Get Things Done♥♥

Happy New Year 2011

Image taken from Tokyo5

Hahaha...it was yesterday but I was rather busy with my own things to deal with and only today that I realize that I forgotten to update my poor little blog which I have been abandoning for half a month now...

Looking back to 2010, I guess I have achieve something and learnt something new from it like great team work that in the team that I have gain is not just being given a name "TEAM MEMBERS" and doing the assignment individually in the end... I really work with them and we brainstorm ideas together and face the problems and solve the problems together but the most memorable part is "LESS ME MORE WE"
There are some unhappy events that I have faced in 2010 but most of the time it's happy just that sometimes I'm rather busy with stuff and I did not blog or maybe I'll back date it when I have time this summer holiday n_n

Hope that the year of the Rabbit which is my birth year, brings equal or more fun to everyone n_n
♥ So don't get carried away ♥

Miniature Crocheting

2010-12-14T09:53:00.002+08:00

After practicing with my wrong sized tools and yarn, I finally bought the correct size or rather bigger sized ones and it's much easier for a newbie in crochet n_n Actually, I find that working with bigger sized tools and yarn is easier compared to small ones whereby I have to squint my eyes to find where to hook the yarn through O_+ Besides that, my hands are rather big and it strains my hand a lot to hold it and often it slips away especially when at the starting point =_+'''

Currently I'm working on a scarf for my darling dog as one of my holiday activity since I'm not going anyway or going out to work during the holiday for I have to take care of my mom for the time being since she just had a major operation the other week n_n

Crochet?!

2010-12-08T11:18:00.005+08:00

I have finished my final exam on Monday and currently, I'm just hanging around with at uni to wait for everyone else to finish their exam and while waiting, I'll take my sweet time to do some crochet and also make some doll dress for my darling dolls n_n

Maybe even learn to make some amigurumi *o*

Just that, I don't really know how to follow the instructions from videos or manual books while everyone around me has not much ideas on how to make crochet =___= Besides, I bought the wrong size of crochet needle and wool yarn...when I got back home, my mom told me that the sizes that I have bought is simply too small which is not that suitable for a newbie like me to start....T_T
So basically, I've learnt the basics just that I'm still dumb in making them into the shapes like what they did in the instructions and I only manage to make a weird looking net bag for my doll, Sophie =3=''' But then again, it's kinda relaxing in the process of knitting the crochet for it feels calming for the if you speed up the process, you might just make mistakes and especially for a beginner like me, it took me more time for I do not understand the instructions and I think, I'm taking a lot more time than other people to understand the instructions...but I'm looking forward to make a simple scarf

Happy International Lolita Day!

2010-12-04T19:44:00.001+08:00

Still...

HAPPY LOLITA DAY

McD Day

2010-11-26T13:41:00.004+08:00

Today all of us had McD for lunch and that white furry thing in the french fries box is my McFurry (a made out menu) n_n

Mc French Fries or McFurry?

Out of the blue

Which one will you choose to eat?

My friend accidentally opened my Cheki's film catridge and all the remaining films are kinda damaged by the sun light ToT
Lucky, my Cheki came with 2 film catridge so I can still survive with another 10pcs of films ^_+'''

Instant Camera (Cheki)

2010-11-25T08:42:00.006+08:00

Just received mine yesterday but didn't get a chance to explore it for I was kinda busy with my own assignment stuff =_= So today while waiting for presentation which will start in an hour and a half, I start my exploring my Cheki n_n

I bought it in a set which includes 2 packs (20pcs) of films whereby it is more value for money compared to buying them seperately ^_^

Cheki comes with 2 CR2 batteries, a strap and a macro lens which is the one in the white next to Cheki n_n Cheki comes from Japan and therefore, the instruction manual provided is in Japanese but I manage to find an English version manual from FujiFilm website but maybe not as detailed as the one included but at least you can understand what it is about n_n I tried it out just now and the result was better than expected for you wont face back lighting even if you took the picture with bright lighting at your background *o*
Before buying Cheki, I did some research and I was quite confuse why this version does not include a Self-shot mirror since FujiFilm Instax Mini 25 is aready equip with a self-shot mirror but after trying out self-shot, I think Cheki's shiny surface serves as a mirror as well and could see myself clearly on the surface n_n

P/s: Sorry, I could not show my self-shot for I look kinda weird with my untidy hair style =_='''

The Merry-Goes-Round

2010-11-16T14:42:00.005+08:00

Round and round, the merry-go-round turns...
Endless sound of happy symphony played...yet it seems quiet...
Riding alone on a flying horse with no one that I know...
Loneliness fills the air around me...
As tears filled my eyes...

Time won't stop for my loneliness...not in the Amusement Park!
As laughters emerge...
Giggles and Shouts
of Joy and Excitement...
Cheers and Smiles
appears on everyone's face...

Happy faces emerges before me...
Regarding themselves as "Friends"

As night collides and the merry-go-round brightens,
All these while I'm not alone with my flying horse in the merry-go-round,
For merry goes round and round around me...

Let's laugh it out,
Giggle it out,
Shout it out,
To make it merrier than ever

♥♥♥

Timeless Love...

2010-11-11T19:52:00.003+08:00

If time could be stopped...would you stop for LOVE?
How much time do you need to get to know a stranger and fell in love with each other?
When did you last sat together doing nothing and look out the view?

While hanging around and being the "bulb" in the room, I saw this loving view that reminds me of how my love story started ♥♥
I guess sometimes when we are rushing on the fast pace, there should be a time to stop on the slow pace and cherish the loving moments together ♥♥♥

My Memories...

2010-10-26T09:18:00.005+08:00

When I woke up this morning, I was really scared for I somehow lost my memory of my life after my dream... I can't remember partial memories of my life and I feel helpless to be cracking my head for the memories to come back...
In my dream...
I dreamt that I live in year 2004 and I had a cat call Momo...I was reading my diary dated in 2004 whereby there are some events happening in my life that I never have had before and some events should not happen in that time of the year... I keep having the feeling that it was not right but the reality just could not come back to me and I begin to feel helpless that I start to have some blurry vision of my memories rolling in my head that I just could not get it right...
In my reality...
I woke up from my dream and I had a short lost of memory that I begin to crack my head to find those blurry visions back...
"What year am I in now?"
"Is Momo still here?"
"How many cats do I still have?"
"Does these events really take part in year 2004?"
"What should I be doing now?"
"What have I missed?"
...
The feeling of losing my memories is really scary and it feels that there is something missing in my life that I should have or could have remembered and I must remembered...It's like a damage film rolling in my mind that it seems so clear yet there are missing parts that I should have or could have remembered...
I blanked out for around half an hour before I regained my memory...

Random Rants

2010-10-19T09:26:00.004+08:00

Since August, our classes have began to get busy with things but my everyday is filled with laughter and surprises n_n Well, I don't usually rant on my blog but I really feel that something in me that is going to explode if I don't say it out...

Now it's the beginning of Week 8 which makes me a little worried with my studies though this semester, I'm taking 3 subjects but one of them makes me worried the most is one of my business for I don't actually understand much what I'm learning and every lecture, I would say, I almost fell asleep for the lecture class is simply dull and I failed my quiz which I'll have higher probability of failing the subject...I don't have much of a motivation to go on with this subject though I'm pushing myself to work it =_=

Well, at least on the bright side, I've got a bunch of friends or you could say "family" to support each other when either one of us is at low mood ^___^

My head is currently filled with those 2 cat dolls but yea, they don't come cheap either so probably buying them around end of this year so just hope that they could wait for me hahaha...

Havta get ready for my group member meetups and today's tutorial and pray that everything works smoothly...

Farewell...

2010-08-02T10:34:00.002+08:00

While wondering about how Nancy's health have been doing...a news came to my handphone message informing that she had passed away early this morning...
I was totally blanked as I read the message and hoping that the message was not true...
A sudden memories of her rolled through my head and I broke into tears...

Some regrets came to me...
If only I went to visit her when she was at the General Hospital...
If only I would have been more caring to call her and care for her...

I realized that these regrets were not an important issue anymore but paying a last visit to her before she sets her journey to join God in Heaven...
----------------------------------------------------
I ask my dad if I could pay a last visit to see her before she leaves and my dad brought me to the temple...
In my head, there is only a mindset to pay her a last visit and I was quite rude for I totally forgotten to introduce myself to her family and a do not know how to comfort her family members and all I can say is "Sorry" to her dad and sister who approached me...
I remembered that I was like in a hurry to give them the donation and went straight to look at her, resting very peacefully in the coffin...
I do not know what I should do but rather I was bowing to pray and broke into tears knowing that I will missed her...
Soon after offering joss stick to Nancy, I went off for I feel sad and I do not want to remind her family of the sorrowful feelings of losing their family member...
---------------------------------------------------
Farewell, my friend and we will remember you and missed you...

Bliss

2010-07-21T11:05:00.007+08:00

"Bliss" is just the word to describe my feelings these few days n_n

Our video shooting project was quite smooth spending 2 days time to finish the overall shooting and yesterday after worrying about my final exam result publication for 3 days, I got my result and...yea~ I pass all 4 subjects that I have taken *o*

When I open up my refrigerator, I found some Hershey's chocolate with the name "Bliss", what a coincidence ♥♥ which means that I'll be adding some extra "bliss" to my weight during the holidays =_='''

So far my progress in my To-Do-List is 40% done (kinda lagging off the schedule)...

GAMBATTE!

Final Exam Finally Final n_n

2010-07-01T11:07:00.004+08:00

Finally after 2 weeks of suffering for studies and worrying for my final exam, now it has ended and I can enjoy for sometime for my own hobby activities and video shooting for my next semester's assignment n_n

What to do next???

To-Do-List
Sew curtains and decorating my little doll house
Sew some dresses for my dolls
Get my room tidy up after neglecting it for 2 weeks *_*
Crafting some cute stuff (Hope that it works)
Learn some ribbon embroidery (if the time allows me to do so)

Hope that everything goes well and I can get these things done before the holiday ends n_='''
One thing for sure is that I'll update my blogs more frequent whenever there is something special happening around me hahaha...

Encouragement

2010-06-24T09:42:00.003+08:00

These few days, I've been studying for my final exams and I tend to get headaches and sometimes I think that I'm slowing down and needed more rest than usual...
My exams are just a few days away and sometimes I get distracted to go online to refresh my mind but I'm glad that my exams are next week else I think I'll be studying like crazy hahaha....

My friend got me some caramel candies and they really taste nice especially the traditional-looking green box which is green tea flavor n_n Sometimes he might be a little funny when he asked to give him some encouragement and a wish of "Good Luck" but well, it's a mental solution that gives some mentally encouragement and I felt good when I was frustrated that time...

Well, I'm glad that I have found some inspiration to study n_n

GAMBATTE!!

Exam is Coming Soon

2010-06-19T22:21:00.002+08:00

My exam is coming soon and I have 2 subjects in my final exam which will be in a week time but I'm still kinda lagging away for this was the worst week for due date for assignment was everywhere and me and my assignment partners were constantly chasing after time... Finally, everything was done but I just feel that I need a rest...but I do not have the time to take a break...lol...

Recently, I'm addicted to Restaurant City (Facebook Games),

they have lots of new things to attract players to play the game but I'm not so addicted now that I have got the Sushi bar and Drink Bar with the help from my friends n_n
Say Good Bye to Restaurant City until I finish my exam in July~ ^_^

Other from Restaurant City, Poupee is another game which attracts me to play and especially June has come which is the June Bride event (many couples get married in this very month) where my Poupee Girl can get to shop for wedding dress n_n

Lovely right but still my exam is coming and I should concentrate more on my study instead of game but probably a short break to update my Poupee does not make much harm since now that I deserted my Facebook games like Country Story (about a month), Pet Society (3 months), Social City (recently) and Restaurant City (starting from now on since I already hit my target) n_^

Poupee Girl and Ameba Pico will be updated daily only n_n

~GAMBATTE NE~

Kyan!me 2010

2010-06-14T10:09:00.006+08:00

Having hopes for the event for the organizer of Kyan!me had promised us that they will expand their expo area from South Court to North Court by Friday but when I got there on Friday, it's still the same and even the last day, it remains the same at the South Court...

Hence, I'll blog the fun part of the Japanese Culture that they have showed for the event n_n

They provide some yukatas (Japanese Summer Kimono) for the public to wear and take pictures with *o*

One of the Japanese Cultural dance performers that have dressed in this lovely Kimono n_n

Escorts in their Shinsengumi (special police force) suits and held their flag high to show VIPs are on the way ^_^

Our Mayor and Mr Fujii Tettsuo

The Shinsengumis, organizer of the event and MC

Cosplayers and I love that cute Pickacu *o*

The Singaporean Japanese Culture Society with their wonderful performance of Japanese cultural dance n_n

This part is where they kick the football into the net to show friendship n_n

My favorite part that day is still the randomness that we have at MomoToys

Shining upon the Yakuza n_n

Onineko introducing the Yakuza to others to gain new members to the gang hehehe....

Yakuza taking his name card out from the pocket to distribute to others ^_^

Cover up their sidekicks who are collecting the protection fee from Shinogane hahaha...

We got Yakuza, Mastermind, Mafia and Ah Long *o*

Black Day in tHe Spring

2010-06-08T20:29:00.004+08:00

A random idea came out yesterday when Dino said that she was gonna wear black today for her presentation and hence, we have asked everyone to wear black for the random reason of "celebration of the ancient one turning to prehistoric fossil"...
We don't even know what kind of celebration is that...

Hence, we walked in tHe Spring and found Kyan Anime! having some events at the South Court and our black group went to have a closer look on the booths O_O

Well, today is their first day so it is not well prepared yet and they have not put up the banners yet =_o

Lots of book marks and handmades are on sale at Kaito's booth

Kyan Anime!'s registration booth which is open to anyone to register and get to know their schedule for the event n_n

There are 8 types of competition for registration from cosplay to bento making which is open for registration until 10th of June 2010 O_O

Japanese cultural items for display
I love the origami which are cute

Childhood toys

They are really cute but they are for display only =_+
Hope that 100 Yen could bring these stuff in for sell n_n

Free Yokoso Japan booklets

Looks like he wanna beat up someone O_O

phew...now he looks like his own self hahaha

My Favourite Cartoonist is in Town

2010-06-05T23:29:00.003+08:00

I was so happy for my favorite cartoonist, Kaoru has come to MPH Bookstore at tHe Spring for an autograph session n_n
I reach there just in time for I've overslept but there are many other fans who have reached there earlier and the early birds gets free paper bag, Maid Maiden sticker and notebook but I'm happy enough with autograph from Kaoru and their exclusive bookmarks *o*

See anything wrong on the notice's title?

Other from Kaoru, Keith came as well but I can only choose either one for the way that they make people to queue up is you can't have both cartoonist to autograph for you but you can only have a choice to either queue up at Kaoru or Keith and most people would either have their friends to queue up on another side or just select one and if there is a chance, they'll queue up again for another cartoonist's autograph... =3=

My only choice is to have Kaoru to autograph for me since I love her artwork more *o*

Both Kaoru and Keith can draw very well in a split second and I was amazed the way that they could do it *o*

This is my favorite cartoonist, Kaoru *o*

After the autograph session, they have conducted a comic classroom session to inspire their fans ^_n

They brought their artworks along to show the audience from...

Draft planning of the storyline to...

The finishing work n_n

Keith's lecture was amusing while ^_^

Wow! I'm so excited about it!
Wow!
Finally after a long wait for Ciel Phantomhive Nendoroid...it is going to be released in September 2010 which is a great news for me!
I just feel a great excitement in me when I found this wonderful news while browsing on Xl-shop whereby pre-orders are already opened n_n

Best of all, the original Sebastian Michealis Nendoroid can be equipped with a hand with a napkin hanging on his hand and a tea set to serve our Cieal Phantomhive n_n
It is included in Ciel Nendoroid's set which means that I don't have to spend extra for it which is much better n_n

Idea Theft

2010-05-25T09:56:00.003+08:00

Working out ideas for his own very dreams but it turns out to become someone's idea and that "someone" keeps the credit to themselves saying that it is their idea... At least if you want to copy someone's idea, "Credit It"! It's not like if you credit it, we will get any benefits from you for this is originally Rain's idea which does not belong to anyone else and what to say, you are calling it YOUR IDEA?

Oh, please! YOUR IDEA?! If it came out from your brain...there won't be same activity and worst of all, you can't even think of Your OWN ACTIVITY NAME O_O
That's LAME! VERY LAME!
Sharing is Caring,
Copying is researching
but...
NOT CREDITING is CHEATING!
Images taken from applejunk.net

Some might have heard this event but it was never made due to financial crisis...
In 2008, Rain created I've Anime Society with the idea and objective to have the 1st ever Anime Convention in Kuching, Sarawak which is the East Malaysia. Well, it was a big event which I think no one would ever dream of having it in Kuching, Sarwak for normally, you would find them in West Malaysia or some other places....

Rain has influenced us into the society to work hard for this event with the mindset of spreading our interest and passion for anime to Kuching. Gathering together, we brainstorm for the possible activities to gain the people's interest and we went to companies to find sponsors but unfortunately the strength of financial supports from interested sponsors were insufficient and therefore, this Anime Convention idea was POSTPONED but we never give up on the idea! Somehow these ideas were leaked out to some COPYCATS due to the fact that our proposal is simply too detail with the activities and plannings...Though so there are still some activities that normal people (especially copycats) to understand how it works and what it really is n_n

Bare in mind that even you have our idea but you do not have the understanding to make the event...you'll live in the mind of the fans as a THEFT! Nothing but a THEFT!

Like what Serene pointed, we will respect you if you respect the founder by crediting the founder's idea which is RAIN

Dango Making

2010-05-21T23:25:00.001+08:00

Dango! Dango!
The day has finally arrived and our president is the one teaching us for the dango making♥

They have prepared 3 colors of dango dough for the event ♥♥♥

Miss Pressy starts to teach us how to make dango n_n

Her assistant, Chris, caught in a sticky dango trap when he tries to make his dango with the white dough which is rather sticky compared to the green and pink dough *o*'''

Well, instead of red bean or green tea paste, we used a substitute which is chocolate paste to suit everyone's taste for some might not like them like the other time we organize this event
♥♥Yummy♥♥

Carefully wraps the chocolate paste with the flatten dango dough ♥

Seems like she is gonna poke someone with the skewer +_=

I moved to another table to peaceful make my dango for there are too many people surrounding the table to make their dango masterpiece n_n

Since the white dango dough was too sticky, I decided to make my dango with the green and pink dough which looks equally colorful as well ♥♥

♥ My first dango ♥

Dino starts to munch her dango n_n

Those little dough has made up to 13 dango *o*♥

TADDAA!!
♥♥ My Green and Pink Pastel Colored Dango ♥♥
Hope that every year, they can organize this event to have some fun in SAMS ♥♥

What's with the small dango??

Dango Making Event 2010

2010-05-17T21:27:00.004+08:00

Remember "Dango Daikazoku" Ending song for the anime series Clannad?

It's been quite some time since SAMS has hold a Dango Making event and I'm looking forward for the event yummy~~

According to Travel Japan:
Dango which is a Japan delicacy made of either mochi or mochiko (rice flour) with various flavours that can be bought at the convenient store. Some might refer Dango as Mochi which are two different type of delicacy. For Mochi, it is made of glutinous rice soaked overnight and pounded with wooden mallets in a wooden container or a stone mortar that is normally used as a primary decoration for New Years Day.

Getting Dango from supermarkets for the price range of RM4-RM10 is easy but in this Dango Making Event, everyone is learning how to make their very own Dango which is an experience that the supermarkets do not sell ^_^

Mother's Day 2010

2010-05-10T10:06:00.004+08:00

It's Mother's Day again which falls on the second week of May n_n
However this year's Mother's Day seems to be dull for unlike the previous years, I find that not much shops are selling special gifts for Mother's Day =_='''
Therefore, I have to create my Mother's Day gift which is a Re-ment miniature cake for my mom is fond of miniature decorations as well like myself n_n

Instead of giving her the normal full set miniature cake, I've decided to make a small greeting for her ^_^

"Happy Mother's Day; We Love You!!"

The greeting is just right for the miniature cake and its decorations ♥

The Re-ment cake miniature comes with a small cake box which can be used to put the cake in it and look like the real cakes that we buy from the bakery n_n

Fits just right in the box and the greeting fitted in as well ♥

A cute polka-dot ribbon is made to close the box n_n

♥♥♥♥

My mom was quite surprise when I pass the present through my cat's hand and I'm glad that she love her Mother's Day present ♥♥

My HP Mini 210-1073TU Netbook

2010-04-13T20:25:00.005+08:00

After the installation of my Streamyx Cool Uni Pack for 12 working days, I finally got my Netbook the other day at tHe Spring n_n Well, mine was kinda "special" for everyone else's Netbook was sent to their doorstep while mine needs me to collect it by myself and some more being surprised to receive it on stage n_n'''

These are some of the specifications of the Netbook model and its system features n_n

Here's a link of the full specification on HP Mini 210-1073TU Netbook

I still maintain the protective sticker so that it will still look new for the next few months ^_^

I find that most of my friends including those who receive their Netbook at the same time with me got the black one whereas the one shown in the website got 4 different colors O_O??

Probably it's to save trouble in case everyone wants to choose the color that they want for they Netbook *o*

The little "Thank You" note was actually sticked on the edge of the screen when I receive it n_n

A customized card for all the receivers n_n

Bought this bag straight away when I got the Netbook and the bag has its brand on it which looks matching to me n_n

Netbook Giving Ceremony

2010-04-10T23:45:00.000+08:00

On Thursday, my dad was called up by TMnet staff and informed him to claim the free Netbook from tHe Spring on Saturday and the first time my dad told me about it...I really thought that he was either mistaken for something else or he had called the wrong number for all my friends whom had received their free Netbooks are delivered to their doorstep...

I reconfirmed it with my dad and he was positive about the call was from TMnet(he will never play a prank on me)

So early today, my dad once again received a sms from the same TMnet staff and the message directed us to go to their service counter at tHe Spring to register to get the Netbook (guess it is real after all)

When I got there around 10:30 a.m. I thought that I'll be getting Netbook and go off but they asked me to wait til 12 p.m. after some event that they are doing...

While waiting at my friend's work place(Momotoys)...

Both me and my friend heard an alarm coming from MBO and we thought it was a fire alarm at first but it turns out to be...the automatic roller shutter got stuck and after 1 and a half hours they still have not solve the problem...but at least there is still a hole for customers who insist to watch movies that time n_n'''

Meanwhile...it was 12p.m. so I got down to TMnet's booth and found out that my Netbook will be received on-stage...

I used my mobile phone's camera to take some pictures =_='''

Looks as though I've won a Lucky Draw...

I was the fourth one to receive my Netbook n_n

Modelling our Netbooks for awhile....

My Camera is DEAD....Lomography or NOT?

2010-03-04T09:11:00.006+08:00

Yesterday after taking pictures of my Hina Matsuri when I wanted to turn on the power of the camera again, my the power button was not functioning and my dad told me that probably it's time to change it @_@'''
Sad...

Well, my dad is gonna buy the similar model but I got my interest set on lomography instead...

Image taken from lomology.blogspot.com

What I like about lomography is...

- it is a random snapshot whereby the pictures are captured into the film and you won't or don't have the chance to think how will the picture look like

- furthermore, the pictures that you take are pictures that you seldom take whereby there can be blurred ones and over-saturated colors which is an art that we missed when viewing the pictures from the digital camera's LCD

- besides that it's light weighted since most of the parts are made from plastic and even the lens which weights altogether 150-200gm inclusive of the film

- another reason that I love these lomo cams is that they are now made into stylish designs whereby they are suitable to be brought around casually as part of your accessories

- apart from that, films certifies that the pictures that you take are GENUINE and NOT EDITED!!

but...

the thing that I don't like about lomography is that the pictures needed to be develop to view the pictures and for myself...

it can be a trouble I would say for photo shops are taking in lesser film-picture developing business for most people are developing digital-camera-pictures which can take a long while for the last time when my dad took his last piece of film to develop...it took him like 2 weeks to get the pictures and the reason is that too little films to develop can be very costly and hence, they would need to collect until a certain amount of films before they can develop them @@

which...

has lead me to more considerations whether or not to buy a lomo...

Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival)

2010-03-03T09:37:00.005+08:00

While updating my Poupee Girl's Dress Up today, I found a cute little pair of Hina-ninyo (Hina-dolls) placed on the white side table ♥
♥ KAWAII♥

Hence, I zoom in to have a clearer look of the Imperial dolls which are the Emperor doll and the Emperess doll in Heian-period costume n_n

I can't wait to celebrate my 1st Hina Matsuri tonight with my newly bought miniature Hina-ninyo along with Merissa Seraphy ♥♥♥

Birthday Present~

2010-02-18T16:52:00.009+08:00

Every year when it comes to times like Valentine's Day or my hubby's birthday...it bothers me to think what should I gift him ....

Well, this year Serene got me the idea to gift something hand-made chocolate instead of buying the gift n_n

I started off with...chopping the hazelnuts into halves ♥

The main ingredient, BAKING CHOCOLATE~♥~

Melting the chocolate and it tasted like fountain chocolate when it's melted ^_^

Preparing the heart shaped mold for my chocolate ♥
Batch 1
Looks kinda uneven...

Batch 2
A little improvement...

Batch 3
~Lovely~

After covering the top with chocolate, Batch 1 & 2 looks much better n_n

TAADAA!!
♥ All 3 batch of chocolate ready to be put into the fridge ♥

As well as the leftovers ^_^

The next morning...

After leaving it overnight in the fridge, they look nice and yummy *o*

All six pieces of chocolate with six sizes ready to be packed up~

Just right for my lunch box~

♥ Love Chocolate ♥

House Renovation

2010-02-14T11:52:00.000+08:00

It's being quite sometime since I last updated my blog in early January n_n
Wondering what I've being up to these whole time O_O?
Well, my house was on renovation and I was asked to take care of the renovation in case the contractor or his members needed any help...well, at first it was a total boredom whereby you are doing nothing but "looking" at them doing the renovation work and basically they do not need a credulous person like me to help them =_=""

The yellow truck that reaches my car poach every morning n_n

It's quite incredible how they could turn this piece of land to this...

...and...

TADAAA!!! A almost finished room ^_^

One of my mischievous works hehehe....

Up to this part, I've got along with the members of Buildcom whereby they taught and let me tried on some of their works and hey! I can do it as well but it is a tiring job which needed lots of strength and experiences so that you wouldn't hurt yourself (I adopted shoulder aches after using too much of my shoulder strength @@)

Some of them might look easy but if you are inexperience...maybe you have holes on your wall after you finish it ^_^''' --LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS--

Team work is important as well for if you are not working together well...
you might just find yourself working for ages but the work is still unfinish *_*'''

The Boss gets into action as well to speed up the work n_n

Guess what is he doing creating more "mess" on the floor O_O

Well, he's refilling the gaps between the tiles to ensure that no other dirty particles will get in n_n
I kinda got unhappy when he didn't let me try but later when I got permission to try it from the others...I find that pure cement can dehydrate your skin causing irritations on the skin +_+
Gomene~

From this period of time, I actually learn a lot from them and they treated me as part of their members and I'm really glad to have them as my friends n_n

I wish this year of the Tiger will bring them more luck and prosperity ^_^

I see a "NEW" sign on top which indicates that there are new items on sale *o*

In the shop, we can browse and if you want to know how the dress will look on your Poupeegirl, simply click on the "See Images" button and a Poupee Model will model the items that you want n_n

Some times the dresses made for Poupeegirls are designers-made-items which means that they are also available in reality like these new dresses which looks the same as the ones that the models above are wearing ^_^

I'm looking forward for Ciel Phanthive's Nendoroid but seems that there is still no news about the comfirmed released date though there are news about the colored version of Ciel Phantomhive's Nendoroid =_=
According to moeyo.com's news, it is said to be released in December 2009 but not even a bit of wheather it will be release or not is reviewed....

Just pray that Ciel Phantomhive's Nendoroid does not go to the same fate as some disappeared Nendoroids like Ignis Nendoroid O_O

He's cute in Nendoroid form *O*

2009-12-21T14:55:00.007+08:00

Last Friday, I went to watch Avatar in 3D with my hubby at MBO, tHe Spring n_n

I love the whole storyline whereby the idea for the story takes to a very different image whereby in the Pandora planet, I love the scenery of the night that the plants can glow in the dark and the "animals" (I guess that's what they are called) looks nice and the concept of design is very unique ^_^

I like the part that the "owner" can connect and both "pet" and "owner" can communicate and imagine if we can do that as well with our pet animal would be wonderful so that we can understand them well hahaha...

Overall the whole movie watching in 3D is like watching High Definition quality video just sadly the 3D feeling is not as much as I have expected *_*

My next watch in 3D would be Alice in The wonderland which I've previewed it during the Avatar movie n_n

Melvin's Graduation Party ^_^

2009-12-17T07:54:00.006+08:00

A Wonderful Present~

2009-12-07T08:10:00.006+08:00

My hubby dear made a wonderful cosplay chainsaw frame out of his leftover wooden board for my cosplay as Grell Sutcliff ♪♪

I love it and appreciate the effort that my hubby dear have put in making it for this is the very 1st time he ever made a cosplay prop n_n

This is the nicest part of the chainsaw which is the handle part n_n
It's a little bit different from the one in the anime and manga for the top part was flat while this is a little curvy which my hubby made it for more comfortable grip for me ^_^

With the basic frame of the chainsaw, it has made easy for me to make the decoration for the hardest part is the frame itself and tools are needed as well such as electric jig-saw which is important when cutting the curve part *o*

Not an easy thing to actually stick the aluminium foil on the blade part =_='''

Taadaa! Nicely done n_n
it took me one whole afternoon to finish STICKING the foil alone....

COSPLAY STATUS
With my costume and chainsaw frame done, I'm 60% to my Grell Sutcliff cosplay n_n

A Place For My Miniatures♥♥

2009-12-07T07:43:00.003+08:00

The other day my dad got me a cute D.I.Y. Mini Cupboard to display my cute miniatures ♥
I've tried arranging some of my miniatures in it and they look quite organized in the cupboard which suits their size just right n_n

This is how it looks like when i first built ~

Taadaa! Looks better with a transparent plastic on it ^_^

With a piece of plastic to prevent the dust from my miniatures being covered with dust ^_^♥

Serene's Birthday

2009-11-19T07:26:00.008+08:00

Today's our cute little club president's 20th birthday, Serene~
Hence, Onineko has decided to give her a surprise by organizing a surprise for her whereby we are divided into 3 groups which are leaded by Onineko, Sherrie and me n_n

For our group, our surprise is....

TaaaDaaaa!
A Miniature Birthday Cake from Re-ment and....

A blue glass cookie container ♥

There are some cute prints on the surface of the container as well♥♥♥

To add some surprise, I have shredded some papers to put in the container so that when she won't see the cake until she opens the container and that makes double surprise for her hehehe...
Looks like a bird nest to me =_='''

Well, I hope that she'll like the present that we got for her for I have limited time to actually come out with a good present for her for almost everything that I though of getting her as a present is something that she already has...
Well, a Re-ment is something that she would seldom buy or collect ^_n

p/s: hope tonight's surprise will give her a memorable 20th birthday n_n
Cheers~♥

Bento Making ^_^

2009-09-22T10:09:00.008+08:00

Image taken from sams-site.org

What is Bento?
Bento is a term for lunch box whereby in Japan, most people would make their own bento either for breakfast, lunch or even dinner. One of the reasons for making our own bento is that, it is healthy. Besides that, some outstation students have the needs to save but are they saving healthily? In our bento making activity, we’ll teach the students how to save wisely and healthily by making their own bento instead of eating outside everyday and spent more. Apart from that, bento making is environmentally friendlier because by bringing our own lunch box, the use of plastics as well as polystyrene is reduced. Furthermore, from this activity, we are also giving a chance for those who do not have much knowledge of cooking, they can learn from simple steps that we’ll be demonstrating during the activity for a healthier lifestyle.

What do we do during the Bento Making activity?
Bento Making will be organized before lunch so that members get to eat their own handmade bento. Members as well as non-members are invited to the bento making activity as well and they will be advice to hands-on for the bento making so that they get to learn how to make their own bento as well. Besides that, they can bring back their own bento after making it.

Last week we had our Bento Making activity which we have planned last week during our committee meeting and I was selected to be the organizer of the activity while Onineko is my assitant n_n In order to serve yummy food for our audiences, we decided to prepare the food early in the morning in one of the empty classroom x_x

--Bear Punched Seaweed Decoration--

While preparing, rain tried his silver mask ^^
Looks good on his face n_n

--Messy "kitchen--

--Tako Time--

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Result

--A bowl of nicely fried sausage Tako--

--Everyone busy preparing the ingredients--

--Demostration Time--

Snowfish became my assitant during the demostration ^_^

--Onigiri--

--Arrangeing the Sushi into the Bento box--

--Making my Egg Roll--
The whole demonstration can be said as a success with the help of rain and Snowfish's friend to prompt up questions else, the whole demonstration would be "dead" in a way that most audience do not wanna voice out their questions only our SAMS committee members =_=

~Done~

After the demostration, we asked the audience to come up to have a hands-on to make their own Bento n_n

Everyone dig in the ingredients that they want to create their Bento

2 weeks back, SnowFish found this wonderful shop at tHe Spring's newly opened 2nd floor n_n She brought us there and they sell a lot of cute hand-made decoration guitars and each are very unique and lovely♥ The shop manager gave us a discount if we buy more than 5 guitars o_o So, I chose this one that looks quite like a real guitar whereby it has the some prints of wood stain *w*

This one is SnowFish's one which I quite like it at 1st for the carve one the guitar looks like violin's design and actually the reddish part is kinda metallic in color but my flash cause the metallic color looking flat... gomen ne~

At first, we were hoping to have anything similar to K-ON's guitar but seems like all the guitar looks far similar to K-ON's guitar =_='''

This is the antique version of my guitar which is in black and white color ^^

Kuching Fest 2009

2009-09-02T10:30:00.009+08:00

--Blood Donating--

2009-08-27T12:12:00.004+08:00

Image taken from Flickr

Today I was actually gonna donate my blood for the very first time for the blood donating activity is held at our university's auditorium and usually, I have numerous of problem when it comes to blood donating such as:

-- It happens to be the time of the month...

-- Transportation problem

-- No support from my parents =_='''

-- And dry skin...they said that my blood will have higher antibody which is not good...

-- Sick...

-- Taken medication

Once again...I have failed to donate my blood due to dry skin which I have informed the officer in-charge... At least I got to know something new ^_^

One of the interesting thing is people with mental illness are not allowed to donate their blood for according to the officer, mental illness people tend to have lesser oxygen in their blood and furthermore, it is harder to control them if they suddenly berserk during the process of donating their blood O_O

Though it may be disappointing for not being able to donate blood but thinking from another angle, at least I won't kill person who needs blood n_n The main reason that we want to donate our blood is to help and save people but not harm them...

Teasing My Chibi Sebastian ^_^

2009-08-27T08:19:00.004+08:00

"Who's in-charge here?!"

Hahaha...I took some snapshots of Sebastian with his exchangeable "annoyed" face ^_^
Sebby is cute in his annoying faces and I added some objects to make him annoyed in funny manners x_x

"Get these ribbons off me!!!"

"For heaven's sake, I am Black Butler NOT a Black Peacock!!!"

"I'm not a babysitter..."

"I really hate being a babysitter... "
"...and the kid had just craw up to my head..."

"Could anyone please get her down from my head?"

~My Pet Hoppy~

2009-08-26T13:29:00.003+08:00

Let me introduce my pet, Hoppy ^^ Hehe...actually Hoppy comes and go and normally I see it hanging around my orangelime plant which is situated outside my gate ^_^
Especially after the rain, Hoppy is always around my orangeline plant n_n

This is a close-up picture of Hoppy~
-- Yellowish green in color --

Hoppy is as tall as my orange lime as seen on the picture ^w^

--Pullip Kuroshitsuji--

2009-08-20T15:25:00.002+08:00

Recently I'm quite fond of Kuroshitsuji these days and I found out from TOMOPOP that Jun Planning has released 3 characters which are Ciel Phantomhive, Sebastian Michealis and Greil ♥_♥ Especially Greil, his my favorite character in Kuroshitsuji and I love it especially when he's with Sebastian ♥

Let's check out Jun Planning's Pullip Ciel Phantomhive

Ciel fully dressed up in his outdoor wear and a cute top hat along with his "short cane" ♥

Ciel's eye patch can be detach from Ciel's head and his pentagram eye is revealed *w* Even the blouse for Ciel is sew with laces ^_^ I just love his little shoes =_=♥

Sebastian Michealis' clothes is made very detail *w*
Especially the badge part~

Cool Sebastian in cook costume ^^

Next is my favorite character which is Greil *o*

But this Greil looks rather innocent and cute =_=
Unlike the one in the anime/manga ^^ I love the way he call Sebastian, Sebby~

For me, I would prefer the anime/manga version with the sharp teeth and a chainsaw *w*
Though so, I would say the costume is made quite detail ^_^

My New Semester...

2009-08-20T12:38:00.000+08:00

This is my second week for my new semester and all the assignments are pouring on my desk while my lecturers are starting squeeze in new stuff into my head... =_=''' Before I proceed on with my week 3...I steal some time to hang out with my friends ^_^

I blog a little today on my shopping at Tai Kiong, tHe Spring~
They are Pocky and Collon in ichigo flavor ^^
I love ichigo Pocky but recently at Tai Kiong, they do not bring in the ones from Japan anymore but they got the ones from Thailand =_=

The one on the left is the one imported from Japan and the one on the right is the one from Thailand ^^
For me, personally, I would prefer the one from Japan for the packaging is lovely~ Asides from that, it is not as sweet as the one from Thailand but just right for me ^^
Actually, I am not really a fan of strawberry flavor but Onineko had got me to try this wonderful strawberry flavored Pocky and I start to buy Strawberry flavor Pocky everytime I go to tHe Spring ♥ I just hope that they will bring in the strawberry flavored Pocky from Japan ♥

I'll blog when I get the chance to do so x_n

D.I.Y. Mini Lovely Baby Shop

2009-08-10T11:19:00.005+08:00

--Shop Front--

--The Interior of the shop--

While browsing around at Kuching Fest last Saturday, I found this lovely DIY Mini Lovely Baby Shop sold by one of the stalls there ^^
Personally I love DIY stuff (provided I have enough time to DIY the item) and the salesgirl told me that everything that you see in the picture is included and I was even more interested in it *w*

When I reach home, I unwrapped it and sweaaat... a monkey intruction manual?? Cute though ^^

The first thing I thought of is that "something is not quite right here =_=
and ZOMG every single furniture inside needs to built from scratch x____x'''
Great~ they have included a bottle of wood glue and so, I started the DIY...

The very 1st part that I have joined together with the provided wood glue took me half an hour before it could dried out properly =__=

So I gave up doing it and kept for the next holiday to come so that I would have more time to spend doing it n_n

Sylvanian Families: Wedding Chapel

2009-08-07T08:01:00.009+08:00

Image taken from Animetsu.com

Remember 3 days back, I have bought a Nendoroid Sebastian Michealis... I wanted to either make or buy some backdrop for him and I found a specially made for Nendoroid's Play Set for Japanese Life from Animetsu.com which cost RM150 for the whole set (It is a seperate set of Part A and B). Even though it's especially for Nendoroids but the backdrop did not fully fit for being Sebastian's backdrop which is describe to be living in Victorian era... =_="'

While browsing around at tHe Spring few days back, I have spotted a lovely children's play chapel at Poppies, a shop where they sell varieties of childrens' toys, food, clothing, shoes and furnitures ^^

The thing is I wasn't sure if the size is too big or too small for my little Sebastian to be used as backdrop... So I decided to bring along Sebastian to measure if it's right for him and to my suprise, it's as though it was custom made for a Nendoroid size *o* Nyaaa~

The original price was RM169.90 but after discount given, it cost me only RM129.90 which much cheaper than the Nendoroid's original play set *w* The wedding capel set is under the series Wedding Bells in Sylvania of the Sylvanian Families Collection which is distruted by Flair Leisure Products, UK ^^

The whole set comes with the wedding chapel itself, the bride and groom and its furniture which are the organ, bench, a quill, decorations, bell and a pulpit along with the wedding song note and a wedding declaration note *u*

The chapel comes with separated parts whereby you'll need to fix in the top and the stairs o_n

The available building and other available furnitures

Families in Sylvania

I've took some pictures of my Sebastian in the chapel as well ^^

"Welcome, Today I'll be the witness for today's wedding ceremony"

"Ahem...Do you Alex Periwinkle accept Kate Periwinkle as your loving wife?

"Yes, I do"

"And do you Kate Periwinkle accept Alex Periwinkle as your loving husband?"

"I do"

"Now I declare both of you husband and wife and now you may kiss"

After the wedding ceremony

"Care for some tea after the wedding ceremony?"

My Little Sebastian Michealis n_n

2009-08-06T15:10:00.005+08:00

Today we went to MomoToys which is currently situated at tHe Spring ground floor and I brought my Sebastian along to take some pictures since this is where he's from before he was sold to me ^_^ Besides according to my fren, MomoToys is gonna move soon by 19 August to the 2nd floor o_o but larger space for them to put their stocks n_n

--MomoToys namecards--

Nendoroid Sebastian's twins *w* Those who wanna buy Sebastian better grab it fast for there are only 3 Sebastians are in-stock at MomoToys =_="'

Actually only today that I have some time to open up my Sebastian to snap some pictures of him *o*

Got into some problem when i realised that there is a piece of plastic in between the upper body and torso O_O'''

Lucky my hubby manage to get that piece of plastic out and not damaging it...phew~
I just wonder why on earth do they wanna put a piece of plastic in between and it makes it hard to remove that piece of plastic for it becomes too fit and we took off the head and legs before we remove the plastic =_='''
