Dear Santa,

I've a confession to make: I've been naughty but in a nice way. So, does that make me naughty or nice this year? I really want a white Sony T-series camera this year :( Could you just make my wish come true this Christmas please, please, please? At least I'm honest! :D

ps: I don't have a chimney so just ring up my cell (it's a kind of telephone) and I'll open the door for you! Cookies & Creme will be welcoming your presence with freshly baked scents! And we have to camwhore for a bit before you leave alright?! xD and no, I didn't forget the milk!

Thankiew Santabuns!!

xoxo, Sarah.

I'm so glad you understand me santa, beacuse I've been misunderstood all this while.

//

Lovers at heart,
I've not forgotten your touch,
Gentle embraces,
Wrapped around in grace,
If I had one wish for Christmas,
Not last years', not next years',
But for all the Christmases;
Warm us up Santa,
Keep us tight,
Remind us of true love,
Remind us of generosity,
Remind us of giving,
Remind us, so that we never give up;
Remind us, so that we'll get to see the Christmas to come.

//Dearest stranger,

I love you and always have. Despite all the shortcomings, the events and bad luck, mistakes will come and go. You are a part of me, a part of my life. Never will your essence be gone, even if you lived a thousand miles away. My smile; your memory, your embraces; my memory. The cutest moments will always be remembered, in those special places that only you and I have gone.

To what's coming, to what that is meant to be, I've given my heart for you to love and care for. Carry it well, carry it proud, as I've carried yours all this while. It is a tough world out there, so let's continue to support one another, let's laugh together, let's enjoy this moment.

Even in the toughest and darkest of times, love may not stand out even when it's shining its brightest, but know this- that I'll always be here, and try as I might to be your light because I hold you dear here <3

I love You.
xoxo`

Lickety, lick. Yum, yum. Kissie kiss, muahs :)

Now, let's partay!

Interpretations.


As promised, a post on the Cadbury experience. What is this Cadbury ex-huh?

It is a caravan that travels around Malaysia(I think) telling stories to children in rural areas. I was asked to help out for the day and get paid! So, I went lah.

Anyway, I had to wake up at 6am and travel for 2 hours till we reached an orang asli kampung in Sepang. That's like travelling to Ipoh by car; speeding at 120km/h. But ahh, that's not the point.
.
.
.

I slept the whole journey because I don't wake up that early. Yeah, piglet me. After reaching the kampung, we found out that the caravan had some engine problems. And so, we got delayed. From storytelling at 10am, we started around 1130? or was it 12? Anyway, here are some pics.
.
.
.

While waiting for the caravan to arrive, some of the very excited children came early and gathered at that small spot there.
.
.
.

Haha, retarded me. But look at the bus- have you seen one like this?
.
.
.

Storytelling in progress. Adorable aren't they?
.
.
.

I was actually very surprised on how sporting they were despite being in a different environment for a while :)

*Just a note: The temperature outside the bus was, let's just say 'scorching hot' and we helpers were pampered with 3 blasted airconds in the bus. ;)

If you've read so far and not know that Cadbury is a chocolate brand, you're really dumb -.-"

Was tired as hell; cannot wait to head home ! :p

Glad I went along to help, glad to have met these kids. To see them laugh, smile and be merry was a satisfaction more than deserving.

Welcome back to ME :)

Here's the lame post Elliot :( Written in 10 minutes, all non-nonesense, nonesense.

I'm amazed at myself how long I kept away from blogging. But the reason was worth it. School holidays kicks in; in other words, this means a total kick ass holiday season, I hope.

It surprises me how much can happen during the half month period. Activities splurge in one after another; sleepless nights begin; throw in a fatty mamak diet and there you spell purposeful , perhaps?

There is always something to do and somewhere to go. A day never goes by with boredom and you can actually feel your energy being drained out of your own body. Movie tickets fully booked, cc's fully packed. Everywhere you go, there will be an increase in human bodies. But, who doesn't know this already? It's only normal it happens anyway.

On another meaningful note, I recently sat for my Japanese Proficiency test last Sunday, which makes me so relieved I'll finally be able to sleep. I was anticipating for the exaggerated anxiety to be over. It has been eating me from the inside. Plus lately, my parents haven't been jovial. The problem must be me once again. When will I ever get to live my life without being complained to, everyone else? Both of them seem to be having PMS. Sigh, what a way to start the holiday.

My legs are aching, wait, scratch that. My whole body is aching due to an expedition that was revently held. This time my camera died on me and there was no charger. Thus, you shall not get any picutes :p If you wish to see SOME, click on Ethan>Daniel at my sidebar :)

Well, at least now, I have my bed to sleep on, my own bathroom to use, an aircond room, a bug free environment to live in.

----------

Maxwell 2, period.

I once wrote a journal entries for the 3 days that we were up in Maxwell- the first time up. This time, I am not even inspired to write about it.

What was different? or rather, what was the same?

Few activities were different, if you can call it that. Everything else was pretty much the same. See, for the first time, I have to crack my brain open to write something about Maxwell. *goes away for a while to get a drink*
.

Okay, here goes.

Hiking up the hill was not unfamiliar to us. We could all split up and still find our way to the bungalow. Carrying extra weight seem to make us hike up an hour and the half faster than hiking without them. How interesting. As usual, hiking up wouldn't be fun if there weren't dramas, for instance, Ken attempting this steep stairs of stone as a short cut, but failed the first time, painfully. Let's keep it at that only, shall we.

So like I said, even if we broke up into groups, we would still make it to the bungalow. None of us got lost this time, and no one got bitten by leeches. *Hallelujah*

Cutting the long story short, we did what we did the last time we went up. Except that this time, after waking up from my afternoon nap, a new game was introduced to us. It has no name, but I shall just call it, the Bang-Bang-You're-Dead game. It was a game in which the obvious isn't so obvious but obvious anyway. The ones who got it right, slapped themselves left right, center and self proclaim themselves smart; the ones who didn't get it right as quickly as some (that's me) started to feel like a clown amusing everyone else. Oh, the agony and frustration.

Bohnanza was as usual, in play 5 times a day. Don't you guys get bored? :( I did. Sigh. Anyway, the kitchen utensils were used this time. Ken & Yang were the cooks (don't know why they like to cook together so much...hmm)

We hiked up all the way to Maxwell's peak and saw a satellite. What a sight. Uh huh. But I'd admit it felt like an accomplishment. We played some blind man game IN THE DARK. Hah! that's something different :) It was fun but painful at the same time. I knocked my knee into the fireplace area, and limped-hike down the next day. I respect and admire blind people even more now. It makes me wonder, how they live their lives every single day.

Cc was cc-like. Fun. Period. Less is more. That's why I won't say any more.

In conclusion, the "holiday" this time was taxing on my patience. Living with other people, in the same house is scary when their true colors show. It was amusing to see some of them make fools out of themselves. It was priceless to see how an ego as high as Maxwell hill itself, explode. But there will be one thing I could choose to forget, but never will it be gone. That is why, this time, my "holiday" here, felt dirty even before I could start it.
