On Eagles' Wings

Yes, I am well aware that it's been almost a month since Christmas. I'm not stuck in a time warp or something. But remember I promised that  I'd (maybe) post pictures of the Christmas gifts I made   after I'd given them all out? (Just for you guys to admire ! *smirk*) xD Well, tadaaaaaaa~ All the different colourful designs ! :) They're kinda like bookmarks/paper clips. And each of them has been hand-painted by moi . :D I had removed the metal spring from each one, painted the wood, and reattached them once they were dry. Oh, and I also applied a coat of varnish on them to give them a little shine and make them waterproof :) It was tedious work. And it was rather difficult to hold the wooden pegs while painting. I kept getting paint all over my fingers ! @.@ Which wasn't so bad, except that it simultaneously smudged the hard work I'd done in painting that bit before that ! So I'd have to repaint it T.T And I had to use tongs to ...

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...

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...
