Together, Forever, That’s How It Must Be

This is my last blog post for the year 2009.

I’m sure you guys are going to read this on 192837917 other blogs as well, but 2009 has really flown by. I can’t believe that a year has come and gone so fast.

For the most part, 2009 has been a pretty incredible year for me and I look forward to 2010 being even better. I have a good feeling about 2010. :)

So, I actually have never made New Year’s resolutions before. Ever. But this year, for some reason, I feel so compelled to do a resolutions list, so here goes!

1. Go to church regularly. Sometime toward the end of this year, I just felt like I should start going back to church again. I can’t explain the feeling and I’m not sure what brought it on but it was like He was calling me. So who am I to argue with God right? :p

2. Do more charity work. I realized I needed to do more charity work coincidentally, in church. It was during service one Sunday when they announced that there would be a member from our church going to do mission work and while I don’t think I’ll be going to do any mission work anytime soon, I felt like God was trying to tell me something. Lol.

3. Start Italian and Mandarin classes.

4. Lose weight. To be honest, I’m actually pretty happy with my body right now but realistically, I am too heavy for a flyer and since I plan on cheering until my body doesn’t allow me to anymore, I’ve gotta lose some pounds!

5. Get my running roundoff back handspring and standing back tuck (AT LEAST!) by the end of 2010.

6. Spend less money on shopping. :p

7. LEARN HOW TO COOK! I’m going to be realistic here and say I want to learn at least one dish a month.

8. Work. I’d like to elaborate, but I’m lazy. :p My parents, especially my dad, should understand this one though!

9. Clean my room. Lol.

10. Travel somewhere on my own, paid for mostly by myself. :D Mummy and daddy, I know you’re reading this, please help me out a bit also okay? Thank you, I love you! Btw, holidays with you guys DON’T COUNT AH! That one you guys still pay for me okay? Because you are both the BEST PARENTS in the entire universe!

So there we go! My first ever New Year’s Resolutions for the year 2010. :D

I can’t explain it, but I just feel like 2010 is going to be an amazing year. I have such a good feeling about it and I’m so excited!

Have a great New Year’s Eve everyone! Party hard and be safe and remember to spend some time with your family too. :)

Time Is Going By So Much Faster Than I

This blog post is dedicated to catching up with old friends,

and meeting new ones. :)

It’s amazing how even after we haven’t seen Tristen for so long, we’re all still so comfortable around each other and it’s like he never left. <3

He introduced us to his girlfriend Steph today. She’s really nice and we all clicked instantly. Had such an awesome time just talking to them for hours on end about everything under the sun!

Now I’m upset that we didn’t meet up sooner and that they’re going back so soon. :(

I Hate When Things Are Over When So Much Is Left Undone

I love Christmas lights and decorations. They make me happy because they’re so sparkly and twinkly and shiny!

Best potato salad EVER! Made with love by Maddi but I helped too! :D

The ham that aunty Elaine and Maddi brought all the way from Australia! SO yums! I helped to cook it! :D

Sorry, couldn’t resist. :p

My cousins. <3

Blood is always always thicker than water.

Spot the difference! Haha!

From L-R: Bryan, me, Danial, Zara and Maddi.

Aunty Elaine and Maddi.

Uncle Peter, uncle Rod, Ryan and godpa huddled up on the couch. Lol.

That was my Christmas! What was yours like? :)

I’m Begging Please, Stop Playing Games

Hi everyone! Okay, okay, I know! I deserve to be cut up into a thousand pieces and then fed to piranhas for ignoring my blog so completely. :( I apologize. But really, this time, I PROMISE that I’m back and I will not slack anymore!

But in my defence, I was really busy these past couple of weeks. But I’m not anymore so I can concentrate on blogging once again!

And to herald my return and make up for it a bit, I have FOUR dailydress posts, one of which has NEVER been done before, TWO movie reviews AND a video for everyone! :D

So, lets start with dailydress!

T-shirt: Jay Jays                                                                                                                                      Shorts: Giordano                                                                                                                                          Bag: Gucci                                                                                                                                                 Sandals: Novo

As you can see, I was having a lazy day that day. :p

But a good way to make a t-shirt + shorts ensemble not SO boring, is to wear a t-shirt with an interesting pattern, a funny slogan or a cute picture on it. I love the colour of this shirt and Tinkerbell just looks SO cheeky, I love it! But if you want to dress up a shorts + t-shirt ensemble even more, wear a vest over your t-shirt or thrown on a scarf and you’re good to go!

And yes, I know, my toenails are disgraceful!

Cardigan: Cotton On                                                                                                                                    Top: Zara                                                                                                                                                       Jeans: Topshop                                                                                                                               Accessories: Diva                                                                                                                                    Shoes: Voir                                                                                                                                                       Bag: Charles & Keith

Cardigan: Thailand                                                                                                                                   Top: Dorothy Perkins                                                                                                                                 3/4 tights: Reject Shop                                                                                                                               Necklace: Australia (I can’t remember if it was Sportsgirl or Diva)                                        Ring: Diva                                                                                                                                                       Bag: My mum’s                                                                                                                                 Sandals: Novo                                          

Do you LOVE the detailing on the back of my cardigan or what?!? This is currently my favourite clothing item! :D It’s SUPER comfortable and warm too!

And yes, my tights are from The Reject Shop. They’re my FAVOURITE pair of tights ever because they’re so comfortable and they’re the perfect length and I paid like, RM20 for them or something like that, it’s awesome!

Okay, so! So far, all my dailydress posts have only featured one person. Me. So this time, I decided to feature SOMEONE else! :D

My cousin Maddi is visiting from Australia and she’s got a kick-ass sense of fashion so I thought why not while she’s here, I make sure to get dailydress pictures of her too! So here she is everyone! Meet Maddi!        

Cardigan: Colour Eighteen (Some shop at the Gardens)                                                          Top: Borrowed off me :D                                                                                                                       Skirt: Sasha Joy. I think.                                                                                                                      Shoes: Some brand from Australia. She told me, but I forgot what it was. :p

Okay, SO! Movie reviews! :D

I went to watch the Princess and the Frog with my cousins and Bryan yesterday and I LOVED IT! I’m a huge huge HUGE fan of Disney’s princess movies and this is the first princess movie Disney has done in a loooong time!

And they’re STILL the best at it btw!

The princess from this movie (Tiana) is the first “black” princess they’ve ever had and it shows throughout the whole movie! Think really soulful, gospel type music and your stereotypical “black” characters. In a good way though! Not in a racist way at all! It’s something Disney has never done in their other princess movies.

If you’re a fan of Disney’s princess movies, this is a MUST WATCH! This is another classic Disney princess movie! And I have to say, it’s one of the best movies Disney has come out with in awhile.

And there’s something so amazing about the way Disney always seem to capture so much, magic in all their princess movies. I lovedlovedLOVED it!

Only complaint about this movie was that there were a tad too many songs. But it was a fantastic movie nonetheless!

Caught Avatar with my mum and Bryan the day before yesterday. After all the hype and hearing so many people talk about what an awesome movie it was, I couldn’t wait to watch it.

I was not disappointed.

While the plot is very predictable, the special effects and cinematography more than make up for it! The way they captured the avatars, their facial expressions and movement and their world was amazing! So realistic and yet, so magical and ethereal!

This is definitely a movie you must watch in the cinema to appreciate the full effects of the movie. A DVD just won’t cut it. As much as I liked Princess and the Frog, if you had to make a choice, PICK AVATAR! This is one movie you DO NOT want to miss out on!

I really want to talk about this movie a little more, but words fail me. I just can’t think of the right words to properly describe this movie other than IT WAS REALLY GOOD, DON’T MISS IT! Lol.

And lastly, a video! HEAPS of people have asked me for an eye make-up tutorial so here is part 1 to it! The ACTUAL eye make-up tutorial will be coming up real soon! :)

And one last thing! Bryan got his PMR results today and he got 5A’s and 2B’s! :D Very proud of him! Congratulations to all the PMR students! :)
