Daniel's 21st

November 1st 1988 was the day Daniel Goh was born. Now that baby is 21 years old (hahaha so old =P nah just kidding). So on Halloween (Oct 31st) we went to KLCC for an early celebration, just the two of us.





That is his present from me, I sewed this envelope and embroidered his name and address on it, complete with a stamp and postmark. Of course if I compare it to the original that I found online (its a tutorial, here *click*), mine is not as nice, since I didn't use Bondaweb and both pieces are felt so its a bit too thick, i also didn't have a sewing machine so I did all by hand, but mine is still quite cute =P I also sewed a red heart, and put in a cardboard with his birthday message together with a stud I bought for his ear piercing. He loves it hehe






We watched Jennifer's Body, man it was sucky. I mean, I'm the sort of person that is pretty tolerant with movies, I usually enjoy it even though people say its not nice, but Jennifer's Body is seriously bad. Megan Fox can't act, the whole movie she has like the same expression almost, and the whole thing is seriously, about her body. The storyline was also not that good, and she was scary when she spewed that black goo from her mouth. Well, guys that just wanna admire her body will enjoy the movie I guess. But even Daniel didn't enjoy the movie.



We went The Apartment Downtown for lunch. I loveee the atmosphere there, pretty cool, and we had a nice view from our table. I liked our food, Daniel had their Mediterranean burger and I had their Chicken in a Bag. It was heaven man, so creamy, but towards the end had a bit of jelak feeling, as with all creamy foods.

Nice atmosphere. Lol my arm spoil the shot

We also went around KLCC, I was trying to shop but nothing caught my eye, so frustrating. 1u is still the best place to shop. Also went to visit Jimmy at work. Went Kinokuniya, Daniel bought his Mac Snow Leopard bible haha damn thick. I felt like buying so many books there :( Everytime I go to Kinokuniya I always like seeing their fossils and gemstones section, fascinating. I dream of collecting them, some gemstones are pretty cheap, some cost hundreds. Ammonite fossils are so pretty.

Aren't they pretty? Fascinating I know, their way of life is a mystery (parts)

Random shot

At around 6 we had to go back already, since Daniel had to go Westin Hotel for his birthday dinner with his family. They stayed the night there, so nice.

Tonight there will be another celebration, for him, Melanie and Beatrice (Melanie and Vicki's uni classmate) so yay, another blog post coming up soon.

Foxy foxy

This is one of my latest creations, a foxy fox :D I drew it myself :) could have stuffed the face a little more at the snout but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sew it on to the body if it was too full. I think I was inspired by my memory of Fantastic Mr Fox from Roald Dahl, one of my favourite authors of all time. I still enjoy reading his books now =P

The one that I have

I consider the fox to be my favourite animal, always did like how they looked like, so cute! Like the fox from that Disney classic movie, The Fox and The Hound. I like their fur, the shape of their snout, their tail.

The Fox and The Hound

And from I can has cheezburger, most of it (if not all) is associated with Mozilla Firefox (which I use of course, I don't use IE bleh). Like these:

Awww

Awwww

Awwwww

I always thought that my dog Rex looks a bit like a fox, almost same snout and tail, maybe that's why I love him so much hehe. Or maybe it's the other way around lol

Just a little resemblance ;)

I'm backkkk :D

Weeeee I have my internet back! :DDD

I have been MIA online for the past week since I came back to Kampar for my short trimester. We had a nasty shock when we tried to go online but the line was down. We then found out that there was something wrong with the port for the whole area at our place, but when everybody else's streamyx was back ours was still down.

After several days of agony without the internet and calling to TM, we finally found out that our modem was also spoilt, which was the main reason. So a new modem was bought and I'm back online :D

This past week I have been watching How I Met Your Mother season 4, and I managed to control myself from watching all the episodes in one go.

Thank goodness, now I can skype :D

I won a Cookie :D

Weee I won an LG Cookie in the Digi MMS Speak Up Malaysia Contest :DDD I joined it months ago for fun, and I didn't even know that I won until Nuffnang sent me a reminder to come collect my prize =P I found out about this contest through Nuffnang anyway, loveee Nuffnang :D You can click here to see all the winners.

Mine is the one at the top right corner, click on the pic and see if you want

We were supposed to take a picture of an issue that we would like to speak up about in Malaysia and MMS it to Digi. For my entry, I took my Social Psych text book, wrote Stop Spoonfeeding the kids in school M'sia on some cardboard strips (recycled from some packaging), and placed it on the text book with a spoon. Simple as that! I thought about spoonfeeding because almost all teachers have been mentioning that since we were in like secondary school, till now.

I'm was so psyched that I won, that I jumped all over the house excitedly shrieking looking for my grandma and even my maid to tell them that I won an LG Cookie (not the witch type of shrieking ahem).

Mine is the silver one :)

Always did love Digi, I won a Levi's voucher from Digi also, years ago. Unfortunately I'm using Hotlink now. Sobs. Never won shit from Hotlink boo. My first number was Hotlink.

Unfortunately something unhappy happened, the speakers were already faulty when it came, so I had to send it to the service center the next day. I just went to collect it today :) My first touchscreen phone lol. My sayang accompanied me to Low Yat, I had to buy a Micro SD card for my new phone. Bought a 4 gb card. We also went to watch Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. Not bad haha, funny movie :)

Oh yes, today is like our one month together :) Daniel gave me a "random surprise" (his words) and gave me an orange rose :D That he bought in Le Meridien Hotel when I was in the toilet lol. He then pretended that his back was itchy when he walked back to me (and I fell for it), and suddenly took the rose out. My favourite colour is orange and so I get orange roses :D Yeah just found out that the meaning behind orange roses is beautiful as well :)

I hope I manage to dry this rose properly, the last red rose is growing some furry fungus now, so I think I have to toss it :(

Blog Action Day 2009 - Climate Change

Today is October 15, which is also Blog Action Day. Sounds familiar? That's because last year I also participated, here's the link. Last year the theme was Poverty. This year the theme is Climate Change.

Climate Change. That has been in the spotlight for quite awhile in the newspapers and other media, but of course, more effort has to be put in worldwide to at least slow it down. Climate change affects every living thing in the world, which is amazingly scary, and yet most of us seem to not give a damn, and just continue our destructive ways.

Apparently there are several factors that can cause climate change, but the factor that we can do something about is greenhouse gas concentrations. Greenhouse gas makes the temperature on Earth rise. Notice that it is hotter everywhere now? That's because of the greenhouse effect. Kampar is extremely hot and you're practically cooking in your skin? Greenhouse effect.

Some of the things that contribute to the greenhouse effect is the burning of fossil fuels (petrol etc) when we drive, emissions from factories, burning of rubbish, clearing of forests, just to name a few.

Burning of rubbish, boy this issue pisses me off, like seriously, can't people just throw their rubbish like other people? Nooo they must BURN it wtf. The house beneath my house (yes beneath, my house is on a hill) they used to burn their rubbish in their garden, the smell was horrible and the smoke was polluting the air badly. I had the urge to call the police on them several times. I should have. But I think they stopped doing that, or they moved away or something, because I don't smell it anymore, or maybe its because most of the time I'm away. Never ever burn your rubbish, or anything for that matter.

Burning of fossil fuels when we drive. We can help by taking public transport once in awhile, the LRT (Light Rail Transit) system is quite efficient now, you just have to know where to get on so that you can get a seat. The Komuter train still has to improve though, sometimes there's half an hour delays, but hey, most of the time when you get to the KTM station the train is almost there already, if you're lucky. Taking the bus is also an option. Carpooling is also another way that we can help reduce the burning of fossil fuels. I mean, if a bunch of you are coming from the same area, you can arrange so that everyone piles up into one car, instead of everyone driving one car. And it doesn't have to be the same person driving each time, take turns driving.

In Kampar we're quite green =P most of us students (the poorer ones anyway) cycle to class, though its hot. Now you can say that you're noble, saving the environment HAHA. I'm not noble always =P

We can always plant more trees and plants, to promote oxygen production, so that the temperature won't rise that fast. Trees can provide shade as well, a blessing in the hot weather. And we should not chop down trees. We can also recycle our paper that we use. Like when we print notes and all, print on both sides. If you printed only on one side of the paper, keep it as scrap paper, that's what I do, and I do use it, for calculations, designing my softies etc. When you don't need your notes anymore, recycle it. Save the trees.

You can also help by adding your signature to this *click*. It is to ask President Obama to lead the United States in taking bold action to reduce greenhouse gasses. After that you can refresh the link I think, and it will show you some other links to other organizations that will show how else you can help.

Happy Blog Action Day.

(More) Softies and Danny Boy

Let me introduce you to my new creations :D Scotty the dog, isn't he just adorableeee? I found the pattern online here. The owner is so generous to share this wonderful pattern :D And it stands!! How cool is that. This is the 1st softie I made that can stand. I'm now making one for all my 3 aunts and my dad :) I found that button in my grandma's button box, isn't it gorgeous? The ribbon makes him look so elegant together with that button :D

The panda I made for Vicki and the pink rabbit I made for Kwanyi. I made another panda for my aunt that's bigger and fatter (which also makes it cuter) than this one, but I forgot to take a picture of it.

Okay enough of softies. Now to the Danny part =P Last Thursday I went Pavillion with Daniel after collecting my prize from Nuffnang (shall tell you more about that in the next post). We went to watch Surrogates and Sorority Row. Surrogates is nice, and Sorority Row is disturbing, but also nice. The parts when they get impaled by the tire iron are gory though.

Tangs was having a closed door sales, and Daniel decided to show off =P He took out his Citibank gold card to get in lol. There were major discounts. There was this promotion for Mily and Cole headwear, Buy 1 Free 1, so Daniel bought 4 pieces lol. One for him and one for me, and the other two for his sister and friend I think. He also bought me the scorpio Doodoll to keep me company in Kampar next time =P I called him Dan or Danny Boy.

Mine is like so stylo :D can wear it when I go overseas next time, if its cold :)
