On Eagles' Wings

It's the last day of 2010. I always used to find it so amusing that when it was January, I would wish it was December (maybe cos of holidays and Christmas? *shrugs*) and groan about how long it will be before then. Then when it is the end of year, I wonder how time can pass by that quickly when it still feels like September, or something. =.= I've been blog-hopping and, with the end of the year coming fast, everyone's been writing a " 2010 in a nutshell " or " My 2010 " or " My 2010 in one post " or " 10 Most Important Things Happened in 2010 " -- basically a recap of what they've done/accomplished in the past year. It's a good tradition to have. In fact, my church has an annual Watch Night service on the last day of the year --a very reflective and solemn service-- to ring in the New Year with a heart of gratitude for everything that has happened in the past year, good or bad, and start the coming year wi...

Saw something funny today that I thought I'd share with you. I had just bought my lunch of kebab from N'Zar Bakery in Pusanika, and was walking back to my hostel when I came across this: A sticker on the lid of a trash can @.@ I literally took a double take and walked back towards it to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me ! =.= Well, I guess I understand 'wet' rubbish -- they don't want it to smell and get sticky and icky. But DIRTY rubbish?? I had no idea we had CLEAN rubbish !! It's rubbish , for goodness' sake. Things people throw away. I guess this dustbin must be the high-class one. Only DRY and CLEAN rubbish allowed !!!! @.@ Weird.

Please do ignore the teeny weeny hint of skepticism in the title. xD I was never a fan of football.  But since this year's World Cup, I've become a reformed football-hater :) After the World Cup fever died down though, there were no more matches that I could get excited about. I mean, for a person without Astro, I was certainly left with few (to zip) options. There weren't many games aired on terrestrial TV was there? >.< Anyhow, I was just on FB, and the Facebook-sphere is abuzz again, this time, with the news that our very own Malaysian football team has just won the AFF-Suzuki Cup in the match against Indonesia with a score of 2-1; the win secured by Muhammad Ridwan's goal in the breath-catching 87th minute ! (I didn't watch the game. This is what I had gathered from an in-depth scrutiny of all the FB statuses of friends ! haha :P) You know what I noticed? Suddenly everyone's  proud to be a Malaysian. Funny, since n...

It's back to business, people. 8am classes, 2-hour tutorials, lecturers who can talk for 3 hours non-stop (I find that utterly amazing ! @.@), assignments, food deprivation, and having to climb six flights of stairs every day to my humble second abode here in non-civilization Bangi. But, being back in Bangi also means awesome partners-in-crazy friends, teasing and good fun, laughter, lunches together and loads of catching up. :) I never thought I'd say this, but. It's good to be back :D (I must have lost my mind. =.=) This semester's gonna be another tough one I think. 7 subjects this time. Aiyo . >.< Life is kinda boring at the moment. Have just had the first few classes of the week so not much is going on, yet. No assignments, no homework. Just some pre-readings and internet search work. Spent yesterday afternoon watching 5 episodes of The Mentalist. (Beginning of semesters are always too  free. haha) The highlight of my week? SPANISH CLA...

This morning, I received a very special Christmas present . One that none of you would ever want to receive, I sure. Here it is: Have been sick for the past few days. And you know what sucks more than being sick with a runny AND blocked nose, slight fever, cough and a man's voice (my voice has changed, needless to say >.<)? Missing Christmas service this morning. Missing Christmas dinner at my friend's place, and thus missing a chance to meet up with friends, one of whom I had not seen in half a year, who had come down from KL to Seremban specially. T.T Having to sleep more hours than I thought possible of the human body, cos the stupid medication makes me drowsy and weak. Having to walk around like a zombie when I am  awake, cos I just feel like going back to sleep. Mannnn. Christmas seems really down this year. :( Anyhow, I'm conserving my energy for our family Christmas dinner tomorrow night. Hopefully, I'll be feeling better...

Today is my Mummy's birthday. Every year, it's always been rather difficult to celebrate her birthday because we are always so busy with Christmas preparations. We've always had parties to organize, performances, caroling practices etc. Until sometimes, we never really get to fully enjoy Christmas cos we're too busy preparing for it. What irony, right? =.= Anyhow, this year, we are not involved in anything in church; no caroling, no performances, nothing. Such a rare thing. Christmas seems really quiet this year, in a good way. :) Woke up at 10.30am this morning. Haven't been feeling too well since we got back from our A'Famosa trip with the rest of the extended family (will blog about this later !) Lack of sleep (first night I slept at 5.30am cos was having a heart-to-heart with my cousin sister, second night slept at 2.00am cos was addicted to the card game Saboteur. It's awesomely fun ! :D) and jumping in and out of the chilly pool a...

Jingly jangly n. an accessory item that the female species have an inexplicable affinity for, specifically anything that produces a jingly sound when shaken or rattled, which includes, but not necessarily, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, anklets etc. Jingly janglies. pl. Okay, I totally made that up. Aheh . But doesn't it sound rather genuine??? :D 'Jingly jangly' is a term that a certain community (with a population of one. Okay, me :D) of people use to refer to our girlish accessories. And those little shops and stalls that sell them are called the 'jingly jangly shops/stalls'. Used in a sentence, "Just the other day, I bought some really awesome jingly janglies for like, an unbelievable price !" Okay, English lesson over. :P Anyway, this post was inspired by Tey Cindy , who in a spur-of-the-moment of insanity hardworking-ness (:P), decided to clear up and organize her er, mess of accessories. I guess all girls suffer from v...

I've been working on my Christmas gifts to friends this past few weeks. :) I usually always try to make  something, rather than buy  something. I'm just weird like that :) But the downside to that is, sometimes whatever I decide to make for that particular Christmas may take a lot of time and effort to do, which I don't mind. Time-wise though, it's occasionally a problem. >.< So I end up being able to make less than the number of people I really want to give to ! T.T (So if you didn't receive a Christmas gift from me, my sincerest apologies. My heartfelt wishes of love, joy and peace to forever guard your life this Christmas and the year ahead still goes to you, though :D) Last year , I made mini fridge magnets made of black sugar paper (why do they call them that, anyway? =.=) with tiny Christmas trees and snow and silver aluminium foil stars ! Made about 20++ of those little things, and it was a tough job cutting and pasting tiny...
