Having like quite a few blogs before, the only one that I am very satisfied with was my Poly's final year project blogskin ( the one which I spent endless hours, slaving from each link to the background and so on ). Back then I have macromedia flash and so on and with people to coach me, needless to say, I was proud of it.
Sad thing is, once my final year project is done, everything was wiped clean. And none of my current computers have the programs I used to have to work on the blogskin.
Right now, if anyone asked me what I want for a blogskin, I honestly don't know, cos on one hand, I wished to put the in game characters I used to play ( prefably Ragnarok Online ) as the main pictures, on the other hand, a black background with shiny silvery words or maybe a couple of pretty chains sounds great. Yet, light blue background with maybe lacey/misty effect sounds pretty as well.
So in general, I don't know what I want. I need help in teaching on how to create blogskin. I need to relearn everything. I went online and searched for help, like in skinshop.blogspot.com, but unfortunately, the owner of the blog is from Bali, so I don't understand most of what she was saying.
That and my handicapped of proper programs, made me delayed time and again for a nice blog. Getting deprived of a proper ( non-laggy loading blog ) blogskin, I am also not very motivated to blog more.
Can anyone out there help me? Thanks...

Things running through my mind: Bloggers~
Yea, as I was surfing through my usual blog reading websites from like my friends such as www.mintleong.blogspot.com to famous bloggers like www.xiaxue.blogspot.com , I must say I had lots of thoughts that run in my mind. For one, its nuffnang. I know I don't generate like lots of readers ( perhaps only myself? Omigosh~! ) so still contemplating about joining nuffnang.
Amazes me how they got lots of sponsors, but then again, they made the effort, whereas me? I am just... purely lazy =x
Have been meaning to revamp my blog layout, background etc, but hey... There's the word "Lazy". And cos of the same word, that is why till now there's no photo of me yet in my blog heh heh. Confused? Let me explain.
I don't look very photogenetic and trust me, I know nuts about photoshop. If I don't look even relative good, I won't take any pictures ( not wanting to scare anyone away~ see I am considerate~ ). And due to that reason, I do not have any photos to be pasted anywhere.
Right now I bet lots of people ( assuming that there are people reading this ) will be having lots of questions running on their minds, be it about my blog or myself. I am pretty self conscious, but not that I have issues with my looks or lack thereof ( sounding contridicting? ). I looks like a panda/zombie mutant ( gonna leave at that for you to imagine the worst~ ).
But I do want to earn a little bit of cash here and there, plus, writing is my hobby. Although as compared to the bloggers I mentioned above, I am just a tad less active ( not on blog, just lazy to go out? Or I do go out but forget to take pictures, that kind of stuff ).
Then it got me wondering, what kind of blogger am I then? I blogged about random stuff, blog about games, about food and entertainment ( hey, PartyWorld is a sort of entertainment =p ), but at times I blogged about boring stuff ( Yea yea, like this one now ) so does that makes me a random blogger then?
Hmm... I really don't know. Sometimes my blog title don't match what I am blogging. Cos I started out with that title and somehow during the blogging, I linked it to this and that and it became something else... Heh heh...
Ah... But whatever it is, I blogged because I want to remember/forget/put out of mind or something of these sort. If people finds me entertaining, great! If not, you can go to other bloggers heh heh~
P.S. I promised to bombard lots~ of photos ( not of myself ) after CNY! Maybe if I am in a less lazy mood, I might post a couple of photos up within this week =p

Another day full of rain ( Plus some minor grumbles on work )
It's been raining all day long again today, so much so that its still pretty wet on the grounds outside of where I am.
Not that it brings down my mood, just that its making me a little more drowsy than ever.
Kept on wondering if there's a patch in MFO today and when will I be able to reach home.
Basically I had done what I can do and right now, I am not able to finish up my work, thanks to the lack of equipements ( some colleague came to take the things I was using so now I am pretty much stuck. ) and I am supposed to finish everything latest by tomorrow morning? Hah.
Getting pretty dreamy and dazy now~
Oh yea, I tried a hair styling method that I read online, only to have my hair sticking out like a lion's mane =x Thankfully its not a huge problem and solve easily with a scrunchie ( tied my hair back into a ponytail ). It's not a perm thing as I managed to sort of straighten it a little by running through my hair with some water on my hands.
I also realised I much rather buy things off online than going shopping ( for many various reasons ) but I hate the hassle to do the transfer of money first before seeing my goods. Right now I can't wait for the latest ( and probably the last piece of clothing that I am buying online this month ) top to arrive. Estimate time should be either tomorrow, the day after or on Friday. It suits me fine, for CNY isn't here till next Thursday. I just don't have the same luck with shoes though, still can't find anything I fancy.
Looks like after or during CNY I may be posting lots of pictures~ Get ready for a laggy post~!

Results!
Hihi, remember back a couple of months ago ( sometime in last year November ) where I start blogging about my lousy hair ( filled with split ends and looking dead and dried fml... ) and my horrifying blackhead infested face ( ok ok, its not as bad as it sounds but still... ) and I started using some products ( look for that particular blog here ).
I, hereby annoucing the results!!!
Up first, are the two products from Essentials, Nourishing Care Lotion & Anti-Frizz Serum!
( Sorry no photos taken~ Cos that will mean I have to post my face in or something and I refused to, not now at least =p )
I. Am. Impressed! ( Prior to anything, I bought THESE products with my own money, not sponsored or paid or whatsoever. SO! The results that I give, is based on my own experiences. )
Where was I? Oh yea, impressed. Very! I often seen how dead my hair looks ( before I started applying the products on my then pathetic hair ) and trust me, you wouldn't want to be there hearing me whining about my hair ( which is surprising since 1) I am lazy, 2) I don't usually take good care of my looks or health, 3) and basically that's about it. )
So for the past 2 months, I have been applying ( whenever I am not being lazy/forgetful or anything of that sort ) twice a day, when I wake up and after I got home and bath. I usually apply Nourishing Care Lotion before applying Anti-Frizz Serum. Don't ask me why, I just felt like it.
The result? My hair is more tame now, unlike the lion's mane look-a-like hair that I had before and I loved the way my hair move in the wind now. I do have people complimenting me on having such long and quite smooth hair ( I won't say its silky yet ). And these people don't even know about me using the products hahahaha~ ( I won't ask my dear cos to him, even if I am bald, he will still think I looks ok... FML to the max! )
Now for the other product, Off With Those Heads from B.Liv.
Frankly speaking, I don't see much improvements. I mean the blackheads are still there, probably lesser but not up to my satisfactory yea?
Perhaps my skin is relatively dryer ( not as oily as before ) and yup, I doubt I have much good to comment unless someone says I am using it the wrong way. I usually applied this before I apply the Essentials products so you can't say I am being biased or I did not apply this lesser than the hair products etc.
On a brighter note, I have been purchasing a couple of other products, one is the ZA's two way foundation and currently waiting for another one, BS01 SKIN79 Super Plus Beblesh Balm Hot Pink, and I will only blog about them when I get everything I want.
Till then, take care heehee~

Opps... Snow ( Part 5 )
I just realised that I am forgetting about my story thingy... With so much things going on, naturally I'd forget about it ( Blame it on my laziness as well heh heh... ) but to be frank, I really forgetting most part of it... That's why I stopped for such a long time ( despite I already had the rough draft of the dream written down but its not enough to make into a long story ).
Well... What you will be reading now is not just purely from my dreams, but partly from my imagination, bear with me if the story sucks =x
Saturday rolled by and Snow met Karina at a train station nearby the beauty centre.
"Wow you look extremely gorgeous~" Snow teased Karina as she approached her.
"Stop joking... And you are late! Do I really look pretty?" Karina smoothed her hair and looked at Snow.
"Yup, very!" Snow grinned, and wondered when was the last time she seen her cool and mature friend looking so insecure about her looks.
"Do you think he's there?" Karina asked as they started walking towards the centre.
"Well... If he's not, we can always come back again..."
"Really?! You are the best!"
"Or... You can ask his mother for his phone number."
"You...!" Karina started tickling Snow, sending her into peals of laughter.
"Ok ok, stop! I surrender! Trunce!" Snow gasped between laughter. Karina stopped and the girls looked at each other and dissolved into another round of giggles before walking to their destination.
"Ah... Here we are!" Snow exclaimed, with Karina walking behind.
"Is he here?"
"Why don't you look for him yourself?"
"C'mon, help me take a look... Pretty please?"
"Hi, may I help you ladies?"
The two girls almost jumped out of their skin when they heard a male voice talking to them. Karina's heart beat faster than ever when she saw the owner of the voice.
"H... hi..." Karina whispered, feeling her face flushed from both excitment and a little embarrasement.
"Oh its you...! I mean... Hi Snow, hi Kari...na?"
"Wow, you remembered us" Snow replied, feeling a little impressed.
"Haha yea, who can forget pretty ladies?" Gareth replied while looking at Snow. "Can I help you ladies with anything?"
"Erm... Erm... Actually..." Karina stammered, wishing to kick herself for acting like a dummy in front of Gareth.
"Actually yes! You can! You see, Karina has this project about... Urm... Sort of like questionair survey thingy, and she will be so grateful if you can help her like answering in a male point of view?" Snow went over to Karina and gave her a wink that only Karina can see.
"Y..Yes! Yea, I'm hoping you may help... The deadline is tomorrow and..." Karina trailed off, secretly grateful to Snow's fast reaction.
"Haha, sure sure, just let me informed my mom ( he tilted his head towards the centre ) and we can go to Starbucks to talk?"
"Ok!" Karina could not believe her luck as she watched Gareth disappeared through the doors.
"Thank you so much Snow! I can't believe how lucky we are!" Karina grabbed her friend's hands gratefully.
"That's what I am here for! Later I make some sort of excuse to leave you two alone ok?"
"That will be great!"

"Thanks for helping me, what will you like to drink? I'll treat since you are so kind to help me out, Snow, you want anything?"
"It's ok Karina, I don't need anything."
"What sort of man allows a lady to pay? Let me buy you a drink. What do you want?" Gareth stood up and insisted Karina to sit down.
"But..." Karina protested.
"Just let me get you the drink" Gareth insisted again.
"Ok then... I will have ice latte then... Thanks..."
"K, one ice latte coming up!"
As Gareth headed to the counter, Karina moved closer to Snow.
"Isn't he such a gentleman?" Karina asked, looking dreamily at Gareth.
"Haha... Someone is smitten over here~" Snow teased. Just then, Karina's handphone rang.
"Hello?... What...? Now...? Can't it wait till later or something...? Kk... I'll come now..."
"What's wrong?" Snow asked a dejected looking Karina.
"Here's your ice latte" Gareth placed the cup in front of Karina and sat down with his drink across Snow.
"Sorry guys... I need to go, my father wanted me to run an important errand for him..."
"What about your survey?"
"Want me to come with you?"
Gareth and Snow asked at the same time and Karina looked amused.
"It's ok, Snow will help me with the 'survey' then"
"What?!" Snow gave an incredulous look to Karina.
"Please? Help me see what are his likes and dislikes and so on..." Karina whispered in her best friend's ear.
"Just this once..." Snow agreed reluctantly.
"K, then I gotta run! I am late! Thanks again Gareth!"
"Cya Karina..." Gareth and Snow said in unison.
*~*~*~*
Hmm... The story is starting to get a little draggy but can't be help... I need to work on something now so you guys have to wait till a later date before I continue then! Till then, have fun and take care all~

Weight gain while working?
Last year my waist is just 24 inches, that was before I started my current job.
Last Saturday when I went shopping for New Year clothes with my dear, we realised we both gained an inch! I am now 25 inches and my darling? 31 inches =x
Previously, I think a couple of months before that 24 inches of mine, my waist was flutuating between 22.5 inches to 24 inches. Perhaps the constant gaming and moving about made me lose weight ( not to mention my health was not in the ok region and thus, dropping of more weight ).
But this year I have been a little healthier, having a constant job and yea... Naturally been snacking alot as well and thus... My flabby tummy... =\
Getting a little bit of a headache now... Maybe I might start blogging about two more things that came across my mind of late, one is my hairstyle ( to change or not to change ) and my little quirks ( making random noise when feeling... disturbed or upset ).

Extremely touching real life story
I was doing random reading ( as usual ) in the yahoo when I came across this particular story of a pilot, regardless of whatever consequences that he might faced for holding up a plane ( thankfully he was not given any trouble at all ), insisted on not leaving the airport till this particular passanger arrived.
What makes this late arriving passanger so special is that... He needs this particular ride, to see his 3 years old grandson, for the last time... His grandson was murdered by his daughter's live-in boyfriend. I almost cried ( if I am at home I might ) and teared a little... I love the way the pilot said and I quote "They ( the other passangers and those on the plane ) can’t go anywhere without me and I wasn’t going anywhere without you. Now relax. We’ll get you there. And again, I’m so sorry"
Stories like this revived the believes that there are still compassionate and kind people living and that not all hope is lost...

Rain
It has been raining pretty heavily around here these few days... But I am grateful to be here nonetheless...
I had been reading the articles/ news online ( well... I ran out of things to read... So news are my last resorts =x ) and frankly speaking, things doesn't seem to be going well out there.
Queensland in Australia is flooding, having internal tsunami at that, Brasil facing some flood problems as well and elsewhere is having a landslide that kills tons of people...
As if these news ain't depressing enough, there's that crazy guy... Jared Loughner, the one that kills 6 people, including a poor 9 years old bubbly girl by the name of Christina, and put a bullet through the head of a miracle survival, Gabrielle Giffords and wounded 12 others during a meet and greet event 6 days ago.
Sigh... These things that keep the world a more depressing place than it already is.
Oh man... Speaking of depressing, the sky turns into dark grey again. Though... At times, it is such weather that brings me comfort, and such weather that held me in its embrace, washing away my pain, hurt, anger, ill-feelings and thoughts. I love to think that its crying, in my place, that it is feeling my pain for me.
And of cos, rainy weather makes a perfect snuzzly enjoyable sleeping time. Though I don't appreciate thunder nor lightning but imagine snuggling down the warm blanket/ comforter/ quilt and hiding in your bed when the weather is raining heavily, with the sky so grey it looks like someone has been using charcoal to color the previously white sky.
Though right now as I watched the vehicles traveling at a fast speed down the expressway beside where I am now, I can't help hoping that time will fast forward a couple of hours, so that I will join them and travel home.
People always telling me
"Life is short, can't you see?"
I know that in my heart so well,
From the memories that I often dwell.
People come and gone so fast,
In a blink and they are the past.
With the memories they left within,
And forever it shall be kept in.
Hmm... All these writings reminded me of an encounter I had like just 4 days ( or nights rather ) ago. I was waiting for my dear as usual at his void deck. It was another rainy day ( more like night ) and I was looking up at his apartment, contemplating to buy some stuff or not when I heard someone calling my name behind me.
I turned around and it took me a second before the name hit my mind.
"Edwin?" It was sort of a surprise, since I haven't meet him since... Since we graduated from NP! Wow! That is long. Surprise to see him there and more so that he remembers me as I hardly belong to his "group" back then. Well... After we had a short conversation, I realised I haven't changed much ( which is probably why he can remember me ) and that he remembered me as "The one that is very good in the studies aka smart one" FML...
If I were that smart, I would have a degree to my name now ( I am stupid, not in academic sense, just blind, not literally but I think most will know what I mean ).
We had a long chat ( cos poor darling's heater spoilt and he was fixing while I was waiting for him ) and I realised that my friend is getting way off better than me. But he's also having the short end of stick on some other situations as well so life's always give and take something from you =x
Eventually my darling finally came and I can never forget the look on that adorable dear's face. He looked apprehensively at me then at Edwin, a little bit rigid ( If I said I wasn't afraid of him getting jealous, it'd be all fake, for he has records of that before ) but gradually sat beside me ( and a little well placed gap inbetween so I couldn't dragged him over ). Yet at the end of the conversation, I don't sense any hostality from him and I can even say I am extremely pleased/proud of him!
Haha, perhaps because its obvious that Edwin and me are just basically on strictly friends term, and my *ahem, blush blush* extreme affections for my dear that leaves absolutely no interest or whatsoever for other guys.
Oh... The sky is clearing up a little, just now I went up to the 9th floor for the first time and I must say, I still hate heights =x Especially when in the lift heading back to the lower floors, I thought my heart is going to jump out or something. But its definately beating fast ( not love bleah, this time its fear! ) and giving me cold limps... Time to enjoy my hot milo in peace!

After we had a short conversation, I realised I haven't changed much ( which is probably why he can remember me ) and that he remembered me as "The one that is very good in the studies aka smart one" FML...
If I were that smart, I would have a degree to my name now ( I am stupid, not in academic sense, just blind, not literally but I think most will know what I mean ).
We had a long chat ( cos poor darling's heater spoilt and he was fixing while I was waiting for him ) and I realised that my friend is getting way off better than me. But he's also having the short end of stick on some other situations as well so life's always give and take something from you =x
Eventually my darling finally came and I can never forget the look on that adorable dear's face. He looked apprehensively at me then at Edwin, a little bit rigid ( If I said I wasn't afraid of him getting jealous, it'd be all fake, for he has records of that before ) but gradually sat beside me ( and a little well placed gap inbetween so I couldn't dragged him over ). Yet at the end of the conversation, I don't sense any hostality from him and I can even say I am extremely pleased/proud of him!
Haha, perhaps because its obvious that Edwin and me are just basically on strictly friends term, and my *ahem, blush blush* extreme affections for my dear that leaves absolutely no interest or whatsoever for other guys.
Oh... The sky is clearing up a little, just now I went up to the 9th floor for the first time and I must say, I still hate heights =x Especially when in the lift heading back to the lower floors, I thought my heart is going to jump out or something. But its definately beating fast ( not love bleah, this time its fear! ) and giving me cold limps... Time to enjoy my hot milo in peace!

Nothing to read...No...
I often like to read things online and I just realised I ran out of things to read... Be it from blogs ( from my friends or maybe the more popular bloggers ) to so-called interesting articles...
Looks like one can't do much with the slow internet plus overrated firewall at workplace =x
I have ordered a couple of things from minimaos.com so am waiting ( excitedly though they said need 2 weeks to arrive ) for them to arrive! I wanted one of the top badly but they told me its out of stock... FML... Then they showed me about 7 new photos of the newer products they have in stock and I picked one ( need to top up money for that =x ).
Just one question though... I ordered 1 top and 1 dress, they claimed the top is out of stock, but when I went to their website and see, the top picture is still there but the dress is gone, so which one is gone??? I guess I will get my answer when I received the goods.
I am not a pushover so you can bet that I will make a lot of noise if its not up to my satisfactory!
In the meantime... I can't wait for the weekends to arrive! Looks like I might have lots to do ( a.k.a lots of pictures may be coming up! ) and I simply can't wait! Hmm... But this means that huge spending of money is involve... *Sob, I'm so poor already...*
Looks like I am going to be kept very very busy till CNY arrive ( except when I am working of cos ), hope I can post up some pictures soon~!

Pros & Cons...
Between wanting to buy something nice to wear on the Chinese New Year ( CNY ) and keeping a tight watch on my salary/savings... It's so tough to choose!
Doesn't help when I am at my most tired and most cranky period of the month =x
Solution? Waiting for my dear to bring me go shopping ( having him around curb my spending, drastically hahahaha~ )
Feeling extremely restless now, wanting to pace up and down but having cramps and that forced me to sit down and fidgeting and squirming and I just wanna go rest *Sob*
But I need to endure a little bit more, then I am free to sleep, to eat, to rest =x
Hope I get a seat on the bus later and that my mood will lift up soon!

New Year Resolution!
I supposed I am pretty late in making the New Year Resolution ( and most likely ain't able to keep it ) but at least I am making a conscious effort of getting it done! ( Or at least trying to =x )
Of course, I am not going to set the impossibles~ ( Such as making sure I fall in love with veggies *Yuck* or making sure I exercise 1 hour daily *Horrors to my lazy bones!*)
Nah, my resolutions shall thus be more achievable!
1. Make sure I exercise like 30 minutes daily! Erm... Scratch that... Maybe 5 minutes? Ok, ok... 15 minutes... No more no less *Pouts*
2. Trying to save at least 250 bucks per month! Hmm... Maybe that's too much? And now its reaching the Chinese New Year, need to buy new clothes, accessories and games... Arrgghh... I will compromise, spending lesser on games... Ok! I know, at the very, ultimate, minimum... 100 bucks. If any lesser I might as well not save at all =.="
3. Ehh... I still need to make more resolutions??!!! K... K... Let me think... Maybe not get so jealous with dear this year ( Hey... Doesn't this label as impossible catagory??!! But I had been able to do it or at least controlling myself a bit better... )
I am done with resolutions. I might most likely break them all but will keep an effort to keep them... Especially for number 2 heh... Cos I want to be richer by the end of the year! Besides, having some money put aside for emergencies is a good idea... Don't know when I might want to buy something badly =p
P.S. I might be surprising everyone on the first day of Chinese New Year, that is, if I am not that lazy and oversleep again like every year. Cos I am opting for a more shocking attire this New Year heh heh... Something that is out of the usual for me!!!

So many pretty things!
Ah... New year just gone by and I am on a crazy "spending" spree again. Not that I have buy anything... Yet! I fell in love with so much items in www.minimaos.com * That white dress is pretty and so is that top, that wig looks cute~ ooo bags~ * that I seriously wonder what to buy on my limited budget *Sob, I hate low salary...*
Sigh... and even if I do get the things I want, the next problem is finding shoes etc to match. My reason for spending is cos... Chinese New Year is coming!!! Sheesh =x
But I got to save for this and that so I am seriously thinking about pawning some of my unwanted books and so on to get the things I want... FML...
Contemplating now as to whether should I start working long hours on the weekdays for the OT ( but I don't have much to do now =x )
In fact, being so cash strapped, most of my presents given to my gal friends are made by me. Not some cheapskate stuff hor!!! I don't make cards or so on.
Take the ones I made for my sweet Lyvi on her birthday:
A flower bracelet with butterfly~
Matching necklace~
A butterfly made from a few swarovski crystals... One of my first attempts. Or rather, my only attempt till now.
And a present for Lyvi's sister ^.^
And just not long ago, last week or so, I went to a birthday party, it was Ray's sister, Mint's birthday party. Once again I handmade another gift for her heehee...
Keychain~ Not one of my best creation but the wire name part is definately my only attempt to make name out of wires =x I am often used to create butterflies or leaves out of the wires but never name for I always failed them. So I am pretty proud and happy that it turns out well.
A bracelet~ Glad that she like it though heehee... Was wondering what she likes and the only thing Ray dear helped me is to be my model =x And of course, telling me that the initial size I made was too small for Mint. So I did some readjustment and luckily it fits ( or so she told me =p )
See... My handmade stuff are not cheapo construction paper making stuff. But they are pretty energy draining as I realised everytime I made I get a little tired and sleepy. Perhaps I used too much concentration in making sure that I perfected every little detail to my expectation. I do have high expectations on the things I created. =x
Perhaps this is why I never ( though I did think of it now and then, when I am cash strapped) set up a stall or blog solely to sell the creations I made. Heh... But if anyone do want to buy my creations, feel free to leave comment here and I will get back to you on the designs and such as well as cost hee hee...
