My bffs are Sara and Lina. They love writing to me -- I get an email, sometimes two or three, from them everyday, always telling me about the good stuff they come across. I appreciate them very much.. but sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming.. cos they just write and write, each jostling to get my attention to the point of spamming. But I don't have the heart to tell them to stop -- just in case there's I miss something that I should really check out, you know. So more often than not, I just ignore their emails.. Haha.. Oh well. I'm sure they don't mind, those chatterboxes two. So cheers to these two gals. Life is surely more interesting with them around. :)

for a moment there

i thought i'd found you.

then, false alarm.

sorry for the inconsistent spurt of posts. it's just the way i am inspired. hehe..

one more pix from the past!

this was taken at awana genting - our de facto accommodation at genting each time we went up. i'm sure you can easily guess how we posed for this pic. yup, those were the curtains from the hall. wah, i didn't realise that i was so tall. hehe.. oh i could have had a modelling career *cough*

i am older than my dad and my mom now than they were in these pictures. i cannot imagine myself a parent at this age, what more at theirs. i wonder if they knew the weight of responsibilities and sacrifices that come with having a family (does anyone?? haha i don't think so.) but they did their best. and i am thankful ^__^

oh btw, being the first child, i have like tonnes of pix from when i was a kid. hehehe.. this might explain why i love taking pics ;) 

with dad outside our house. i've no idea what was with the hat -- was it my birthday? :) with mom at the playground near stadium merdeka. we went there often. the place was demolished to make way for the current carpark i think. have you been there? could we have met when we were toddlers? ;)

thanks, sis, for taking pics of these pics.

love you, mom and dad!

the yellow dress

when the BERSIH rally was around the corner and i realised that i don't have any yellow piece of clothing, my thought immediately went to this dress. it was one of the rare few dresses that came to me new (we wore a lot of hands me down when we were younger -- from who i have no idea -- but i didn't mind it then and i still don't mind it now. in fact, today i'm wearing a grey skirt my boss gave me.. so yeah :) i wore the yellow dress mainly for family outings, seen here at muzium negara (could you have guessed? :) but i remember wearing it to school as well. my bros, born a year apart, were often seen in similar getups.

methinks the math geek in me just exploded...

into a million euphoric bits! ^_^

we're your dreamgirls, dreamgirls will never leave you ~

caught Dreamgirls the Musical at Istana Budaya last night -- won a pair of tix from Broadway Academy (who got the show together) when i went watch one of chongy's performances at their premises. the hubby reluctantly became my date when for one reason or another, friends kept turning the tix down. he enjoyed it somewhat (though i caught him with eyes closed at one point :D)

i went in with little expectation but wow, i came out suitably impressed.. and to be honest, i felt more entertained than i did with The Sound of Music (sigh, i know right?!) so yeah..

it was the preview night, and we got like one of the best seats in the house! w00t! i think it makes all the difference as well. and Istana Budaya definitely has a better set up than KL Convention Centre. i loved the props and costumes and almost seamless scene change and the choreography and direction. the singers were good too (chongy said there were some pitching probs -- but it escaped my untrained ears so it's okay hehe) so it's all good and yay and double yay!! :)

if i had a gripe, it was the sound -- the men mostly sounded muffled, though the ladies had it better. i hope they fix it before the big day. :) other than that: GO WATCH IT!! :) SUPPORT LOCAL PROD!! YAY!! k, 'nuff w the gushing, bai.

separation anxiety

i don't feel too good. for some reasons, i have been especially tired this week, almost to the point of exhaustion, when my day is not even near hectic. and the worst thing is, i cannot sleep. sometimes i wish i was sick just so that i could guzzle cough med and amble off to dreamland.

well, that's that. right now, i'm dealing with said anxiety. can't say much, just that i won't be seeing someone as often as i would like to, very soon. i knew this was coming, we've talked about it for days on end, but now that it is finally happening.. sigh. well, i have been engineering my own departure too, just that the person just beat me to it. bleh.

mom was tending to the garden one day when lo and behold...

c.1979 i was one. it was hot. 

i can't get over how cute i was as a baby.. WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?? ^__^
i wish i could pick me up and hug me and just pinch those cute cheeks. awww.. :D
