Here's wishing everyone a very merry and happy Christmas! Hope you all have a blessed and meaningful one this year.     To baby Jesus, "Happy Birthday!" (Though it's not the real day, but still.) You are the real reason why Christmas is celebrated around the world. And let us not forget that lest we be too caught up with the gifts and merry-making (drinking, eating, the usual stuff  :D) Personally, for this year, I do not have much of that Christmas joy or spirit. (Hey, I'm here blogging on Christmas Day!! Who on earth does that?) I don't know why. I mean I still enjoy Christmas but this year I feel that something is really missing. Every Christmas I used to feel happy, joyful with a great warmth inside of my heart (You know, that glowing kind of feeling). Christmas songs especially make me feel giddy with joy and excitement. This year, however, I'm feeling a bit down. Perhaps it's because I didn't really prepare much for Christmas, body, m...

Five things you MAY not know about me. 1. I'm not a pill popper. I cannot, cannot swallow pills. A small stupid pill will take me 20 minutes for every attempt, during which should I fail, I will just spit out the half dissolved pill into the sink. I know, what a waste. But I can't. My esophagus simply won't allow me to swallow. Too small. Need a wider one hahaha. 2. I have a phobia of crossing drains, longkangs anything that's more than 20 cm apart. Even when I take the escalators, I take extreme precaution. I take ten seconds to get across or on the escalator. I fear tripping and falling over. According to Chinese 'pantangs', babies must not have their feet tickled lest they will not be able to cross drains. I think someone must have tickled my feet when I was a baby. Hmph. 3. I dance to random music though not in public becasue I'm shy!! But you can see me bopping my head or tapping my feet a bit once in a while. Ask my sisters. They think I'm nuts. I ...

As the year 2009 comes to a close, I can't help but reflect throughout the year. The things I've done, the things I didn't do and the things which I now wished that I did or did not do. Of course I regret the things which I said out of anger and in temper. Words said can never be taken back no matter how much you apologize. I mean, even if the other person forgives you, your relationship with that person is never going to be the same. It's like getting burned, the scar remains there. I am so sorry to those I have hurt. It's especially true for those whom I love and am close with. There are other things that I regret. Among them, there is one that I regret quite a lot... Not the most, but one of the major ones. I regret not signing up for that US programme. Though Meow persuaded me quite hard, I decided not to go. I suppose I let my fears cripple me from participating in something different, something life changing. I regret that I let my fears hold me back. Come...

A scene from the show called Beetlejuice (No idea what movie that is, but I find this scene very hilarious. LOL!). Beware the ending though. :D I used to hear this song when I was younger. Quite a catchy one. Do enjoy!

Who loves apples??? I do!!! I especially love them baked and cooked though I know that the raw ones have more nutrients. But still. I also love apple pies. The ones that I will remember most are the ones baked by my late paternal grandmother. Hers was the best. Know why? Cause the pastry was just thick enough, crispy and she always always loaded her apple pies with a lot of filling!! (Heheh, yea I know. I only eat the pie for the filling.... LOL). Anyway, I was feeling kinda hungry that Sunday. There was nothing much to eat in the house except for some biscuits (which I get fed up with) and apples and carrots. So I decided to make my own apple filling aka applesauce. This was my 'adventure'. First, get some apples (duh). Hey, and please get green ones or Granny Smiths. No red ones or Red Washington's ok? Green apples taste the best and no one ever uses red apples in apple pies (I think). Wash, wash and wash!! Peel off the skin then you don't have to bother wi...

Take a look at this. Get Your Sexy Name It's my decoded name using the sexy name decoder. I burst out laughing and rolling my eyes. Hahaha. No wonder I've been naughty lately. Hehehe. Some people would surely have a ball of a time teasing me because of this.

I was just commenting the other day about educational shows for children during my childhood days (make me sound so old). One of the shows I mentioned was Sesame Street!! One of my faves!! I have always loved the show and I enjoyed the different characters that came along with it. We have the yellow Big Bird , whom if I'm not mistaken, is a bit of a blur case. Oscar , the grumpy fella who lives in a 'mobile' garbage can. He walks and holds his can wherever he goes. Haha. He's kinda mean. What's blue, furry and loves cookies??? The Cookie monster !!  I remember that everytime he gorges down his cookie batch, crumbs will be flying everywhere..! And he only knows how to eat, eat and eat. Oh, then we have Elmo . The guy with the "oh-so-NOT-annoying" voice. *holds nose and speaks in a high squeaky voice* "Hello everybody. What are we going to do today?" Count Dracula !!! True to his name, he counts almost anything he can get his finger on. There...
