Yay!

Time for partying with great friends (or family), spectacular fireworks at KLCC and more parties! Don't drink and eat too much, make sure you pace yourself and wear comfy shoes if you're heading towards KL because you may end up walking a long, loooooong way with the horrendous jams KL is renown for during New Year's Eve.

Anyways, whatever your plans may be for this New Year's Eve I hope you'll have a great year ahead of you filled with love, abundant blessings and colorful experiences.

Daemon

You've seen The Golden Compass right?? Great. Check out my Daemon! How cool... No messing around with "Dust" and nasty Magisterium and Gobblers too!



Hello Myron, little buddy of mine. Isn't he adorable? He's a civet cat at the mo but may change form because a new Daemon takes 12 days to settle into its true form. Well, in the movie a Daemon's form settles once the child is an adult but hey, this is real life people and I guess the tech guy over at New Line Cinema can only do so much. Get your own Daemon here and make sure you click on Daemons.

Merry X'mas!

Thought I'd share this with those of you who celebrate Christmas.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Here's a link to the same video but performed by the cast of Scrubs. It's hilarious!

Happy Holidays!

A Free Calendar

If you're like me around this time of the year, you end up buying some sort of cute and snazzy planner for the coming new year with the good intention of using it to create a semblance of organization in your hectic life. And then in the whirlwind of said hectic life, you neglect the planner by mid-February.

Well, not next year!

Download this calendar/planner for FREE (with my Christmas and New Year wishes and blessings) and print it out on to A4 paper to start using it in the new year. It has ample room for you to scribble in notes and reminders, plus it won't look out of place at the office or at home. You can also shrink it down in size and bind it together to make your own handy mini planner to carry around.

A little peek of the calendar which Blogspot has decided to distort.
Click on the image for a clearer view.

It's a PDF file (1.25MB) so you'll need to download a freeware PDF Reader from Adobe if you don't already have it.

In case the link above doesn't work, here's the URL where you can download my calendar:

Weekends

My weekends have been great and I have pictures to prove it. 2 weeks ago was a mini KTJ reunion as we celebrated the union of two dear friends who were my classmates in KTJ and have been together ever since then. Well, sort of but hey, what matters is that they were made for each other and have inevitably tied the knot. Yay, Shimi and Lisya! I'm so happy for you two! It was great catching up with everyone especially those who I haven't seen since graduation. Gosh, can you believe that it has been 10 years since high school? It feels like it was just yesterday we were all hanging out at the boy's boarding house or at the tuck shop in ratty tees and shorts and now here we are all dressed up talking about work and marriage. Crazy!
Then, last Friday we had another wedding to attend. This time it was Meme & Hani's. Congrats you guys! Right after that, the bf and I were "summoned" to SevenAteNine at Ascott. Seven Eight Nine. Geddit? Anyways, me in my kain batik which I wore for the wedding (the bf wouldn't let me change out of as he thinks it's very sexy) and the bf joined the usual suspects who were there for their ritual Friday Happy Hour which always extends to the wee hours of the morning... Wheeee! Saturday rolled in and we vegged out to recuperate from Friday night. On Sunday we emerged from our comfy caccoon to have banana leaf rice all the way in Bangsar at Sri Nirwana Maju which is right opposite Bangsar Village 2. It was soooooo good digging in with your fingers in an all you can eat supply of rice, veggie, curry and freshly fried fish and chicken all served on a banana leaf. Almost primitive but so satisfying and YUM! My stomach is growling now just describing it. I'm so going to make the bf promise to take me there again this coming weekend! Right after the glutton fest, we scooted back to Ampang to hang out with some friends at Alexis. A full tummy, an iced coffee, Reader's Digest and snuggling up to the bf sealed a series of great weekends.

Life should be filled with blissful weekends don't you think?

I've Been...

I've been listening to Maliq & D'Essentials, especially my fave track Terlena. They're all about smooth, dreamy jazz with a definite feel good vibe. Oh, god... that sounds so cliche but it's so true! Haha. Anyways, there's no Maliq in Maliq & D'Essentials (surprise!), they're from Jakarta, Indonesia and yes, some of the tracks are in Indonesian which is great because the Indonesian and Malaysian language was made for smooth, dreamy jazz in my humble opinion. Here's their MySpace and here's their official website. Do check them out.

I've also been shopping on Etsy and drolling over some prints at Belle and Boo. They're just so achingly adorable! I got this print on the left entitled Hello Chick. Now tell me, how could anyone resist a bunny and a chick???

I'm also getting this thanks to Etsy. They're actually called Little Girl Button Headband in Ladybug Luck and as the name suggests, they are actually meant for little girls but guess what? I'm getting it for myself!! Hehehehe. I got lovely Renee, the lady behind Magpie's Nest to custom make it in adult size just for me! Yay Renee! She's so nice and amazingly easy to work with. I've bought from her before and she also custom made that order.

I've also been watching reruns of Miami Ink. I'm not really sure what it is about the show but it's just so darn engrossing! The boyfriend thinks I'm in love with Ami James and Chris Nunez who are two out of the six tattoo artists on the show. Yeah, they're hawt (sorry baby) but really, the art on the show is just amazing! Plus, I've been thinking of getting a tattoo for the longest time. I'm just looking for an image amazing enough to commit to ink on my body... and a good enough reason. I'm definitely of the school of thought that you should only get a tattoo to commemorate a significant occasion. That way, the tat is special and you're less likely to regret it later. I'm still waiting for that occasion... Have a Happy Tuesday!
