Gifts, Gifts, Gifts....and more Gifts!

It's that time of the year again where we exchange gifts with our friends and loved ones. Recently our young adults group had a Christmas get together and each one brought a gift to exchange with each other. I have always loved shopping for gifts, so given a budget of RM10, I went looking for a nice gift that can be unisex...after all what if a guy ends up getting a hairclip, what is he going to do with it? Start cross dressing?

We had a lot of fun guessing what were in those mysterious looking and shaped packages. One of them were wrapped in just plain white paper but in the shape of a rocket. Another was wrapped up in layers and layers...and layers of paper! Happy unwrapping!! And another was wrapped up nicely but I think weighed about 2 kilos. The host happily tossed it over to one of the guys and it dropped with onto his lap and 'kena' his more tender parts of the body...Ouch!!

If you guys are wondering what could have been that heavy...well wonder no more. He unwrapped it and Wala...looks like a big doll in a box...but wait what's that wrapped up in brown? It's.....Red Apples!! He and his family will be eating red apples for at least the next one month...haha!

And what did I get? I got a most lovely candle that I have ever seen. I love the engraving on the candle and it's so pretty! Being an artistic person, I just absolutely loved the decorative embellishments on the letters which formed the word "LOVE". It also had some texture on the background, creating an aged effect. Whoever it was who gave the candle, THANK YOU!!! I really love it. It still sits on my bedstand and I just don't have the heart to burn it. Looks like another addition to my already crowded decorative items collection!


We also had a round of games and this time we played charade. It was great fun trying to figure out all the weird actions and the one that win top prize was the "mosquito". So how do you show a mosquito? Just poke one of your fingers on your forearm...that's a "Mosquito"!!!

Last but not least, our group photo...here's the whole crazy gang....

Calendar boy

The long queue snaked along the walkway outside Espanda club and it was only 8pm. At the entrance the organisers were busy giving away doorgifts and free drink coupons. Behind the stage, 30 nervous young men were getting ready for the final round of interview. Inside the club, it was already jam packed with people waiting impatiently for the event to start. There was hardly any standing space left and yet people were pushing their way through to get a better view of the stage while the long queue kept getting longer outside. Finally there were lots of cheering and wolf whistles, the young men were coming out to do the catwalk. Dressed in jeans and body hugging white T-shirt with "I'm A Hunk" printed in front, to show off their muscular bodies, all 30 of them looked liked cover-guy models vying for the title of....New Icon/New Tide's latest 12 Hunks of the Year 2005. In between interviews, there was also a special presentation from our Malaysian Idol, Daniel as we...

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...

PlanetShakers in Malaysia again

Been too busy to go for the Planet Shakers Conference...aiyah, what to do, so many things going on and with Christmas coming. Sometimes I wonder whether we are doing too much. After all God must have a reason for giving us only 24 hours in a day. While we try to accomplish more with the time we've been given, sometimes we wish we have a 48-hour day. Hmm...does it seem surprising that Jesus never rushed anywhere and yet was always on time and accomplished a lot of things?? Anyway, found a sneak preview of what's happening over there...wish I was there. Wish you were there but can't, just click on N ª R r Ø w ª Y ¿ Hey, tonight's the last night if you can make it....
