Quick update

I am super tight up with my final year project and other assignments right now.

How was your Christmas?

Christmas this year was delightful. Yen, my cousin together with me hosted a Christmas dinner with close friends and the food was good, the company was good! (will post pictures later on) My church play went extremely well and everything fall into place perfectly.


On the other hand, check out my blogshop, we are having our year end sales! <--click

Lots of love,

The Christmas Story

The star is just too cute!!! and the angry inn-keepers too!
This year we are presenting a Christmas play based on the christmas story in church too which i am playing the part of an....ehem COME WATCH TO FIND OUT! hehe

Come join us if you have nothing to do on Christmas!

gasping for air

assignment datelines, presentations, and final year project dateline January 10! yikes *bites upper lip*

many sleepless nights to come!

I have been drinking lots of green tea. I have a mug of green tea next to me which i keep topping up with warm water and that keeps my day going!

lost

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

i wanna be a red head

So i tried the liese bubble hair dye thingy in casis berry cause i wanted to have berry like hair! and it turned out like that!

Not red at all. Might go find another red dye to dye again. My poor mistreated hair, bleached dyed blow dried...mmmmm BUT I WANT TO BE A RED HEAD like bree van de kamp. hehe

:D

Pretty pretty nails!

I'm in such a festive mood! Went Christmas shopping with Mona today and managed to find some gifts.

I've been also wearing a lot of red lately! And i also painted my toe nails red.

Somehow i associate red and green with Christmas.

We have less than half a month to go towards a brand new year! Feels surreal that i am actually graduating next year.

I can still remember my mum sitting with me on the front porch waiting for my bus to kindergarten and now i am all grown up. I wonder what its like for parents to see their children grow up so fast.
Seeing my parents age day by day, i get kinda scared. I just want to savor every moment i have now with them.

How your christmas preparation coming along?

:DDDD

holiday glam collection

Camille and I are launching our second batch, the holiday glam collection for our blogshop tomorrow at 5pm! This time we managed to find some pretty dresses! I even got a few pieces for myself for the upcoming holidays.

We decided to include a full body shot this time, and not just crop off our heads as we got feedback that pictures didn't look so interesting with just the neck below.

We did the shooting at my malacca house this time, and we had good fun dressing up and accessorizing although we were exhausted by the end of the day as we spent nearly 6 hours to get everything done. But we are very happy with the outcome nevertheless!

And we managed to steal time to insert some camwhore shots as well of course ;)

wishful mornings

i need a gateway, with you.

today

I turn 21.

Life is good, and i hope it get's better.

:)

well, hello there

Well, hello there December.

Have i mentioned that december is my favourite month of the year?

:-) I am excited already

love

flower gleam and glow

Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine.
Make the clock reverse; bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt, change the fate’s design.
Save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine

what sunshine do you bring?

and its a chance we'll have to take

;)

rocking like a hurricane

its week 6 already!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

on another note right, when people are happy they would use the smiley emoticon ;)

but when we are very happy we use the smile emoticon with multiple smiles ;))))

which makes no sense at all cause that means we have multiple mouths

but then again, its only an emoticon and it makes me happy

so heres to, ;)))))))))))))))))))))

are you in for it

getting to know someone may take a week, a month, a lifetime,
the best part is we will never stop discovering.

;)

hey you

its awesome tuesday!

fairy dust

i think im running out of fairy dust. refills anyone?

on a lighter note...

a thousand hopes and dreams

Clearly i am not sure anymore cause i don't know what to do.
Dad's leg is swollen again. Which means only one thing. Cancer is back.

And he is in no condition to go through another round of radiation or chemotherapy.

My greatest wish for the future is to say, hi this is my dad, and he is a cancer survivor.

Hi

There's something quite amazing about my mum and dad. That although they are not Christians, they believe in prayers. In fact, my mum prays everyday. She prays to God. For me, for my brothers, for my dad, for the world. So, she requested for me to pray for my dad.

My dad is not doing so well. He completed his chemo and radiation about 2 months ago. At his last check-up he was cancer free. But now, he cant eat. Because he is suffering from something called stomach adhesion.


* Adhesions typically begin to form within the first few days after surgery, but they may not produce symptoms for months or even years. As scar tissue begins to restrict motion of the small intestines, passing food through the digestive system becomes progressively more difficult. The bowel may become blocked.

In his case, food can't pass through. He feels nausea most of the time, and has no appetite. He is losing weight drastically. And when he can't eat, we worry.

So if you're reading this, please pray for my dad, that he will get better.


Never lose faith,
Sarah

gravity is working against me

despite everything

despite everything that will come and is to come,
lets embrace life for now.

and no thats not my ciggy

bunnies and merry go rounds

i will only hope that things will turn for the better, for you, for us

wee hours in the morning

It's 5.45am in the morning and i can hear the azan calling...

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness

i miss home.

the other day while, i went out with my girlfriends and i tried on the Grey super barbie contact lens that joy got me. And it kinda made a huge difference to my eyes, made it look bigger, and kinda creepy looking too..

today

today i feel like i have not been blogging as much as i would like too. Also, i feel like i have been back forever, but then, its only Thursday, i have only been back in malacca for 4 days.

wow

now that's one lighter i would like to have.

i'll go wherever you will go

As some of us know, Adam Lambert is performing in kuala lumpur right now. So while mummy was reading the papers, she went something like this;

mum: Adam Lambert looks good with make-up. Most guys don't but his eye make up looks good on him.

me: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

mum: he looks pretty.

me: tsk tsk tsk, my friend was just telling me that adam lambert makes him want to put on eyeliner.

mum: adam lambert is so handsome, too bad he is gay.

me: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? (from his song)

lols

masih ada dengan mu

i think my last life, i was born a hair stylist. Every time i have free time on my hands, my hands reach out to a pair of scissors and i start snipping. so now i have bangs ;-)

i am in a transition, studying to working soon.... yikes! :-/

mommy still thinks i am still very much childlike. that i won't deny, i once talked to a friend about this, that when i am outside comfort zone, i build this wall around me, because there's noone to look out for me, but when i am with family, i am safe, i can have my guard down. But i think everyone, if they swallow their foolish pride, they are just equally childlike? yes? no?

and then, there is those moments, where i am in a crowd of friends and pepole, but yet i feel terribly alone. when those moments really get to me, i am glad i always have someone to turn to.because *He is always there.

Cheers to a new trimester, to new hopes, to new dreams.

*he as in our savior ;-)

You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

holga 135bc review

I bought my Holga 135bc (bc stands for black corners) a couple of months back. i was contemplating between the 120 and 135 but later settled on the 135 because not all shops develop 120mm films.

I've used up 2 rolls of film so far, the first one FujiChrome Sensia 200 Slide Film 35mm (Expired) and my second roll, the Official Lomography International Redscale 35mm Film (Fresh). There is an ongoing roll which I am using now, a Kodak film i bought straight from the photo shop.
i was lost and completely new to film cameras. The first camera i used was already digital. I did read up online for tips and how to use. But it came with a pretty useful manual on how to load film, basic functions and so on.
When my holga arrived, i was suprised at how light it was. It was basically like a toy camera made out of plastic. Even after i loaded in the film, i was doubting its capability of capturing pictures. lol
So i got in my first 2 rolls of pictures the other day. And to my horror as i expected, my second roll of film, the red scale on was empty. But as i examined it, there were a few shadows in the developed film, so i have no clue what went wrong.
But here are a few pictures from my first roll, and i am so pleased with the results!

pictures taken at my home in Malacca.

i purchased my camera at rofl camera, they are really nice and provide feedback too!
