Mid-term holidays: Part One

This is the longest holiday and I really ran out of ideas of what to do ...
Here are some pictures of what I did for the past two weeks...

(A dessert known as "dadih", like pudding but it's not, nice when put in the fridge) 

(A shopping mall just opened and the food there was heavenly!! Managed to grab some japanese food) 

(Takoyaki 😋)

(Started to knit again, I'm really not sure what to make, cushion cover or a sweater?) 

(Muffins, which really didnt look like the display picture!!) 

(Bread, after failures upon failures, I FINALLY MADE IT!!)

(SO SOFT and the texture is just right. A huge achivement for me) 🙄 

Part Two coming soon... 😃

completed knitting project

So previously I had wanted to knit socks as presents for my family. Finally I have finished all four pairs of them. Oh well, I hope they would like it. I love the colours, though. I haven't knitted one for myself and I am thinking of knitting more as I am starting to have other people in mind. :)

Have a blessed holiday season and God bless ~.~

This time of year AGAIN

It's this time of the year again. This festive season, a season of forgiving and love.
Oh well, it seems everyone, I think is so in the mood for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but it's about buying gifts that's making me scared. There goes my money.
I try to budget this year but I hope not to disappoint anyone, with the increasing price of stuffs now, it would be even harder to buy things.

Finally, I have finished my degree course. It's been a while now, and I feel so happy because everything ended well. I hope that there would be nothing left because i would hate to go back and settle them.
Anyways, it's been so many memorable, thinking back all those years.
There were a lot of sad ones which i prefer to leave it in the past. And of course happy ones so that I could remember when I'm old later.

Here's some pictures which my sisters and I had taken in the Spring shopping mall during our SISTERly outing..

(My third sister and I, the background was very pretty, it feels magical, with all the shiny and blinking lights hanging down the tree)

(My youngest sister and I, still the same background. I just felt so happy at the time because the atmosphere was just soo.. merry)...

Since now all I have is time, I started doing the thing i like most: KNITTING. 

I started to knit socks again and they are going to be for my family. I did mention that it's expensive to buy things so why not do my own thing? It's the thought that counts. :) My sisters are in fact excited about it.. 

(The first pair of green socks are already done)

(Now for the second sock, red socks!!! Can't wait to finish it)

Arm warmers

At first I was thinking, what the heck am I knitting anyway? I was so afraid that it would end up becoming nothing because I myself can't even identify it. But thanks to my mom, I realised I used the wrong term, I thought what I was knitting would be "hand warmers" but actually it's called "Arm warmers". I guess I will always be a beginner in knitting but it's ok because I don't have enough time to learn and also I've been learning from the internet. Hence, not much, only the basics. :-)
 It's been like almost 2 years plus since I learnt knitting on my own, the reason, is because of this korean drama. Funny but true, the title, if not mistaken is "Mary stayed outside the whole night". I was so captivated but the way she knitted scarfs and gloves so fast and it was so beautiful.
Well, here are some pictures of the "Arm warmers" that I'm knitting, one side is already done and the pattern, I created it myself, had a hard time estimating the correct size.

KL solo trip part 3 My stay there

Hi again, hope this time's entry can allow me to post more pictures. Even though everything is over i really miss the moment i was in KL, there were actually alot of places i still want to visit. Below are some pictures of places i've visited during my short stay there. Really hope to visit there again sometimes..:)

 (Inside Petronas Twin tower, pretty view)

 (Went to Petrosains, quite interesting but not my type)

 (Love it here, peace and quiet, sipping iced lemon tea, observing people, and writing my journal)

 (At Pavilion, first time in Dome, expensive food, wouldnt suggest if u r still a student, like me, i was so broke afterwards)

 (The Pavilion sign, beautiful mall, but no different than what we have in Kuching too)

(My late lunch, expensive but very nice and a lot of food too!! Fish and chips RM28, iced lemon tea RM11, phew, i felt so rich at that time,but suffering the consequences now hahah)

The only thing i didn't dare to do is to explore, one thing is due to time constraint and the other is afraid of getting lost and not being able to get out really scared the hell out of me. But in the end i still did some walking around but made sure i know where my exit  was. Then everything was fine. But i find the people there was quite funny. I went to Petrosains alone, then i bought my ticket, "How many person please?" then i replied  "One, " "One???" troll face.. Hahah, i guess it's because im a female, and its really rare for girls to go out alone. Well, i beat that stereotype and i really hope to have another chance to go out again like this sometimes. My future plan is going to Legoland, well hope that goes well. As for concerts, i have so many plans.but i will keep it in my heart because the Lord says, we can plan all we want, but God makes the decision for us. and i owe my whole life to Him because of this trip. He really kept me safe and sound. :)

I have an exam at 2:30pm later so i guess i better get going now. All the best to those who is also having exams and may God bless us always. . 

KL solo trip part 2 BIG BANG ALIVE TOUR 2012

BIG BANG IN MALAYSIA!!!

I am crazy huh?? flying to somewhere i've never been to before, and alone too. But it was really worth the experience because one thing for sure i will be doing the same thing in the future. 

I arrived at the stadium early, but not early enough i guess, because the people there were like!!!! wow... 

My guess was they have been camping there. My place is quite near but yet far, all because i came a little late, it was sad because i paid so much, but at least i get to see their faces. :) 

I love them all soooooooooooooo much!! I like T.O.P the most but at the concert, all of them looked so handsome and their personality really attracted me.. so cute and i really had the best fun i could have for the whole year!!!! There are alot of pictures i took but its so long to upload it. And i have exam tomorrow so maybe another time. God bless and goodnight!! :)

KL solo trip part 1 getting there

Getting there ...

Hahaha, finally its done. My misson. Before this it was a secret but now since its over i want to share my experience. Yup, I went to Kuala Lumpur on the 27th - 28th October 2012. Alone. Wow, big word huh?? But its true. So, on the morning of 27th, i went to the airport with my friend's help. I was so hungry and decided to eat breakfast, but suddenly i realised that i was late and my flight was ready for boarding. Luckily i didn't have any luggage so i quickly checked in. Once in the plane, i had to order food, because i was near gastric. After eating i felt so much better. But the great thing about this trip is this. Before the plane took off, i decided to read a verse to calm myself. I opened my devotional book, i started to look up something meaningful, then i saw "God's presense". So i just turned the page, what i saw still shocked me till today and maybe for the rest of my life. The title was "Flying solo". Exactly what i was doing. Solo, so I felt so comforted because the reading said that our Lord is with us so whom shall we fear and we certainly shouldn't fear being alone because we aren't. I was so happy and during the whole  plan trip, about 2 hours plus, i prayed that my whole trip was going to be fine. I slept for a while and when i arrived there i was starting to get butterflies in my stomach because i really didn't know where to begin. All i know was to call the taxi company and pray for some negotiation skills. Luckily, none of that was needed. The Lord really led people in the right timing. The taxi driver that was to send me to my hotel was the one who will be sending me to the stadium, Oh, i forgot to tell my purpose of coming to KL, it was to attend Big Bang's concert. :)

(While in the plane, eating and drinking to my heart's content)

(Like a 'sakai' because it's the first time i've ever landed feet on KL) 

(Some of the signboards i took along the way)

Well then, continue with my story, when i arrived at my hotel, everything settled smoothly and i decided to visit Petronas Twin tower. really i was amazed to see everything, the street was so busy and honestly, i prefer Sarawak and Sabah. I love peace, not the hectic and stress environment. (So thank goodness im not staying there permanently). Anyway, i asked the uncle to send me there and i spend about 2 hours walking around and taking pictures for memories. 

 (with the help of someone, took my picture with the twin towers :D )

Well, later i entered there and did some shopping, well, bought something for my sisters, then visited the Petrosains, interesting but science just isn't my thing, so to me its quite boring. Later rushed to have my late lunch at Pavilion, before going to the concert. Had so much fun exploring, if given more time, i would have went to other shopping malls as well. but i only can see them from outside, like Fahrenheit 88.. 

Anyway, went back to the hotel, took a quick shower, got ready and headed to Stadium Merdeka!!

Yarn day

On 14th October 2011 it was Yarn Day which was celebrated worldwide. I'm a yarn freak, as i call myself.. I love yarns, as it goes together with knitting. So in order to show my love, i downloaded a pattern and knitted roses and made them into badges. I just started knitting at the end of last year, but it's almost a year now since i've started knitting. I enjoy it because it helps with killing those idle time so i thought to myself, might as well make myself useful.

So far, I've knitted small items like roses and also small bags that can be used for dinner or an outing. My biggest project was to knit a cardigan, but it didn't come out as expected, well i'm just a beginner after all. So i will finish it up this coming long school holidays. Another project will be a scarf, it's quite long but some suggested it to be longer, so i'm still continuing to lengthen it. It has been some time since i've knitted something big because i've been very busy with assignments and with the upcoming finals, i'm now starting to do some serious preparation because i don't want to get over-confident like I did last time and i really regretted my ruthless behavior.

Currently it's a holiday, even if it's only for one week but I really love it because I've got time to spare with my beloved family before i sit for my most important exam. My family is the only ones who understand me for who i am.

Those are the roses I've knitted. Good night for now.
