The move

Random points

• I wish more people here would get Twitter. It’s nice getting little updates from others throughout the day, oh like when I'm stuck in my gray cubicle at work while somebody is happily twittering away about her vacation in Europe driving a SLK convertible... arghhh..... ;)
  

• I can't understand why some guys carry their girlfriends/wives girly looking handbag, especially when the girl is not carrying anything. Men are not meant to carry woman handbags over their shoulders, especially those girly looking ones. It just looks so…. akua-ish.

• Sparkle’s fatness is starting to bother me especially now that she makes all sorts of weird noises when she breathes. I've put her on a strict diet of half a cup of biscuits in the morning and half at night. But I keep forgetting to give her the half in the morning, and she becomes a little psychotic at night when it's dinner time.

• Lately there are a lot of those lame government advertisements trying to promote nilai nilai murni. I can’t help feeling that it’s getting lamer and lamer to down right embarrassing.

• I don't like facebook anymore. I find it so crowded now. And I will always wonder why some people there need to compete to get 1000 friends and more. Do you really need 1000 over friends? But I still check it out for photos people post. That’s nice.

• I'm starting to get restless in life. Looking for a change. A new job? A new baby? A new hairstyle? A new hubby? (hehehe, hubby is irreplaceable... I might be going through a quarter life crisis right now)

• I was brushing my teeth last night and I suddenly noticed slight bump on my arms which turned out to be my biceps. I didn't know I had biceps; I just have flab, skin and bones. Dance aerobics must be working. I excitedly rushed to the sleeping Yin How and forced him to wake up to look at my biceps. He flexed his own biceps to show me how much bigger his were compared to mine to shut me up. I let him go back to sleep after that.

• I will never understand what the big hoo-haa over Transformers. Never liked it, never will.

• Can’t believe one year has passed since my sister’s orientation at USM. She’s now a 2nd year student. Time really flies. Soon the baby sister will be out working. For those who knew me when she was still in kindergarten, I bet you’re feeling so old now. I know I am. :P

• I’m happy it’s Friday.

Have a nice weekend! :)

Draw-and-color thingy temporary came back

Taken during Qian Fang's wedding. She was the prettiest bride ever. :)



And for some reason, my eyes were tinier than their tiny usual self in all the photos. And it happens in photos of most weddings I attend. :)

Meet Looi

Meet Looi. He is a good-est guy I know.

I remember when I went on the department team building. I'm usually the weakest physically but I felt that Looi always kept an eye on me throughout activities. There was this one incident where it was raining heavily and we were running around Taiping Zoo on some treasure hunt and we had to complete a task which required us to take off our shoelaces. When the task was done, we had to quickly rush to the next station but I had trouble putting back my shoelaces because my fingernails had cracked from being wet in the rain for so long and it hurt. The whole team just stood there waiting for me, but Looi knelt down in the rain and helped me put back my shoelaces while I stood up watching him. I was so touched.

Also, there was a swimming challenge where I had to go off and swim in the sea. When I reached the beach, Looi immediately reached out and pulled me out from the water. As he pulled me out, I collasped again because I was too tired to stand and wasn't able to run off to the next station. Looi made sure there was somebody to stay with me while I recovered since he had to run off to the next station.

So to me, Looi is one of the good-est guys I know. Some guys only do things for you only if they are interested in you. But Looi is the type of guy who will take care of you even though you may not even be a close friend. He is loyal, caring, honest, humble, funny, and kids just absolutely adore him.

I could sing praises but I guess you have to get to know him to know what I'm talking about. I'm sure those who know him will say the same thing. :)

So..... hopefully one day you'll meet Looi. :)


P/S - this is a lousy cartoon of him... I drew it in a rush last night because I wanted to watch NCIS which had already started. The real Looi looks way better. ;)

My sisi wisi, Genny Wenny

Nah... the cartoon I owe you. I've corrected the eyebrows so you don't look so evil anymore.

I'm sensing that my "draw-and-color" phase is ending soon... now I'm starting to get into calorie counting, healthy diets, tummy exercises, skin care, going green, reusable bags, recycling... all after effects of watching Oprah... Googling about it a lot lately... :)

My cartoony hubby

After I started drawing faces, I'm starting to notice and observe the features in a face like the shape of the face, eyes, nose, mouth. So forgive me if you catch me staring at your face a little longer then I should be especially during boring meetings. It just means I'm wondering how I would draw your face. :P

Anyway, my latest little piece, finally managed to draw Yin How's face. The one below is considered ok compared to all the horrible Yin How faces I made last weekend. :)


Then I made it more cartoony and colored it.

Mr. Bad Mood

I tried to draw Yin How's face last weekend. I can draw my own face in 15 minutes, but couldn't get his face right for hours. Even when I drew the wedding cartoon of the two of us, it took me the whole day to draw his little cartoon face.

Tried to give him a smiling mouth in this drawing but couldn't get it right, so gave up. He's always in a bad mood from Monday to Friday anyway so it suits him. And I couldn't give him a cartoony look so I abandoned this drawing. Posting it here anyway.

Dinner at Chillis

I had dinner with Mun and Shu-Yin last Friday. And we didn't take any photos. :( But since I was in my "I-need-to-draw-and-color" phase, I drew this to remember the night. :)

Based on my memory, I think this was what we were wearing that night. Was my memory correct?

For one weekend, I turned into a kid

Can you remember when you were a kid and your parents bought you those 24 or 36 color pencils set, and that would be the proudest thing to have in the class, and during art classes, you would take it out from your schoolbag and proudly display it on your desk, and when you opened it, you get that little rush of excitement looking at your new color pencils, and every time you used it, you would make sure you arrange all the color pencils back according to their color?

Thinking back, all it takes to make a kid excited is a set of new color pencils. And for 2 days, I became a kid again. :)

My coloring craze explained

There... this is why I've been coloring. Drew a little cartoon of myself, thought it looked cute so I decided to color it and make it into my blog header.

I'm liking the new blog look. :)

And Russell ate up one of my color pencil, the one where I took half an hour choosing which one to buy. Dumb dumb dog. :(
