Fear

The flight's at 0810.

So, that means I have to be there 45 mins before the check-in time closes.
I can't sleep last night. (well, if you consider heading off to bed half an hour before the time that I have to wake up is still called a 'sleep'? or rather... a nap?)

*argh*

I was in borders yesterday, killing my time away in the Gardens Mid Valley since I had no where else to go then and finished a short story from this book of ghost stories which I can't remember the name. By a Singaporean named Andrew Lim. And yes, I was thinking about the story all the time when I closed my eyes and I couldn't sleep TT (stupid me)

So yea, this explains why I have gotten myself ready so early before time and had enough spare to time write on my blog XD *bah*

Wish me a safe and fun trip to Langkawi y'all!
XD tata's~

Sketchy Sketches

I feel much better today.

Thank you for those who have been wishing and sending me "Get well soon" smses and all XP (now it sounded so serious pulak)

The fever has already subsided since yesterday, but the flu is still bad. Just hoping that the tonsils on my throat won't swell up again.
So I'm glad I managed to sketch something yesterday since it was raining heavily when I woke up so I didn't get to go online. I've been wanting to do that for soo long :)

So here they are, some random simple sketches.
Didn't know what to draw and had nothing specific on my mind. Did what I used to do back in college :P copying.... bah. what else? TT

I know I am no good in drawing using plain imagination. TT
Did the girl first, yes it's unfinished and I decided not to complete it :3

Oh yea the arms looked funny too. At first it was too long and then they were too skinny I think XD
Yea lar the proportion structure sucks too.. XP So let's focus on their faces instead. XD

And yes, this is 'suppose' to be Josh Harnett. XD and this is definitely a 'WIP' (work-in-progress) so I'll definitely finish it, yes. *nods*

Mandy & Mandy; Mommy & Strawberries

To first cut-out all the disappointments and despair of the overall break I've been having... T.T let's not talk about how far and different the results have been from the expected and ruled-out plan.

Not forgetting to mention my loyal friend whom lingered for a good-long-period of time by the name of 'pyrexia' (also known as pyrexia, from the Greek pyretos meaning fire, or a febrile response, from the Latin word febris, meaning fever, and archaically known as ague) - wikipedia a.k.a 'fever'; in short, I was sick. And I still am. Thanks to the tonsils on my throat, the fever kept coming back.

So it has not been very productive this break... but.. oh well, I did manage to visit Cameron Highlands, at least :P

Since it is actually where mom is from, so my aunt, uncle and my two cousin brothers are also there. My eldest cousin brother Draven, was very hospitable the whole time. He brought us out for lunch, dinner and whatnot most of the time... and even introduced us to his girls XD but I only managed to snap photos of only one of them... ><

Aunty was carrying the mini poodle walking up hill in Strawberry Farm where mom and I was waiting for our Strawberry Waffle with Ice Cream.

Mandy: (saw the dog and started shrieking) Eeee!!! SO cuuuuttte!! XD
Mom: Eeee!! Yeaa!! So obedient wan?? (looking at Aunt)
Aunt: Yea.. she is quite the obedient one among the three. (there were 2 more at their home)

And then Aunt handed the dog to cousin brother.

Mandy: Can I carry her?? Will she let me? (looking at Draven)
Draven: Yea, you can. She's fine :)

Cuddling her happily until cousin brother started calling 'her' name...

Draven: Mandy~ Mandy~ Man-man...~

Mandy: (face in horror) Mandy??!!!
Draven: Yea... ??
Mandy: o_O ... that would be my nameee~~~!!

And then everybody laughed.
Ha - ha.


Mandy & Mandy

She was seriously using trying all her might to escape from me. Guess she didn't feel the 'connection' for sharing the same name like I did ><>

The yummy but a little oh-too-sweet Strawberry Waffle with Ice Cream :3

Mommy + Strawberry

Mandy + Strawberry

Hills of the Tea Plantation


Mandy enjoying her windy ride. Apparently she loves it...

Sooo much that if Aunt weren't there to hold on tight to her legs she would've performed a pretty good flying-dawg-off-the-tea-farm-hills and come rolling down.
*sarcastic hand-claps*

Mom, Me, Mandy & Aunt. (she just wouldn't look at the cam. *hmph*)

And this rather silly pic of me is taken by mom when she saw me doing yet another silly expression over the cooling environment which really made me very reluctant to move an inch out of my bed and blanket... not to even mention going into the shower TT

Oh well, overall it was a very pleasant trip. I love the weather so much I was a little reluctant to leave for the scorching hot KL. *sigh* but look at the bright side! Honestly, too much of the lovely weather over there... might only end up making me wanna eat more and MORE and more... and stay in bed allll day... so... maybe not that of a good idea after all :P

Ahh! 11 more days and I'm back to work! T.T

*wish me more luck? I'll need it*

Message to Kitty: Bittersweet

Hey Kitty,

It's wonderful to know that you're here again.

It's been so long. But you know you're never forgotten.
Good to know that the connection is still there. The feeling, the effects, inner-transformation, an impossibly believable manifestation from an imagination.

But it's strange how satisfying and melancholic it feels at the same time.

So how long will you stay this time around?
Will you be gone for long after you leave again? Or will you be coming once in a while when I think of you most? Or.. will you be staying for good?
But it won't be a good idea, would it?

Manda.
