All I Want for this Christmas is....

This Christmas has really been a nostalgic one for me. I was window shopping these past few weeks for some Christmas gift ideas when I came upon Memory Lane the other day. What caught my eye was this little miniature wardrobe wrapped in bright, eye-catching colours. I was attracted to it and went in to take a closer look. It actually turned out to be a jewellery box shaped like a miniature wardrobe. It even has a little mirror inside and a turnstile inside one of the glass cabinets...to hang your necklaces in. Hmmm....good idea especially each time I take out my necklaces from my jewellery box, it all gets entangled and takes me forever to get them unentangled.

Then nostalgia came in....I still remember how I got my first jewellery box. I think I was about six or seven of age and my favourite grandma used to come visit once in a while especially during the Christmas holidays. That particular Christmas, she came to visit and gave me a jewellery box for Christmas. It was made of wood and beautifully inlaid with mother-of-pearl on the outside. When you open it, mirror panels lined the inside cover while a ballerina sprang up and danced to the tune of "Fur Elise". It even has a tiny key to lock the box up.

I think that was one of my favourite Christmas presents...ever! But after a few years, the jewellery box got spoiled, one of the mirrors cracked and though I tried, I couldn't repair it back. Come to think of it, I don't even know what happened to it now.

So suddenly looking at the beautiful jewellery box, my heart kinda yearned for another one this year. So I checked on the price....and it was a whooping RM60!! Hmmm...I don't think this is an extravagance I can afford right now. Maybe I can pray and hope that God would grant this wish of mine.....all I want for this Christmas is....a musical jewellery box!

Take the Lead...never follow

Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

Why so downcast O my soul?

Recently I seem to be having a few upheavals in my personal relationships and also those around me. Don’t you get the feeling that sometimes months go by without something big happening and all of a sudden it all just comes pouring upon you? Is it me or it is absolutely no fault of mine. *blinks innocently* In the past few weeks, I seem to have upset one of the most patient and sweetest guy I know…though not intentionally. I’ve apologized and tried to make things better but he hasn’t been replying my messages nor picking up my calls. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I don’t know but lately I feel like whatever I say or do, people seems to be reacting negatively or things just blows up in my face. Then my brother did a very good job in making me feel like a failure by letting me know I am not making enough to help with the family finances. It’s bad enough that I am already frustrated with the fact that I do not have the resources to get a degree or get a place of my own… or even my own wheels. Now h...

RM 1 Million Wedding (Part I)

A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate! For the full article, just click here Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings. He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 F...
