It feels like FRIDAY

Happy Halloween everyone!

*Although I don't really know what so happy about Halloween because most of the time people dress up to scare people. Scaring does not equal to happy. NO NO!*

Anyway this is the look I have for this special day

Yeap! I FINALLY CHOP MY HAIR!!!!!

Hehehehehe

I'm really proud of myself!

*No I didn't cut my own hair*

I'm proud because I cut it before telling anyone!

Hahahaha!

Last few months I've been rambling about cutting my hair to almost EVERYONE!

Look at this!

 *what was I thinking when I # "tomboy"?! I think many people have this thinking that short hair is tomboy. Oh please~ is just FASHION! LOL*

And now for the real thing I did not tell anyone!!!

*super proud*

Ok. I lied, I did talk to my hairstylist yesterday, just in-case she change her work place.

But still, I feel like I'm a silent killer! hahaha

The lesser I talk about something (which I joke a lot previously) the more likely I'm planning to do it secretly and drop a big bomb!

Ah~ My head feels lighter and the weather feels cooler~

XDXD

Love,

Constance

Is fun to shop without spending a penny

So I was sitting in-front of my computer thinking what to write today. Outwardly I looked like an idiot trying to sweep all the hair of mine off the table. *My super duper fine hair blend in well with my chestnut color table, which irritates me a lot sometimes because I don't see it but I feel it.* But my mind is wondering what to share in this small little blog of mine.

I try to recall what had I done today. So I woke up, went to work, had lunch, continue working, took a break in between to rest my heavy eyes, and when the clock hits 5, my heart rejoiced and I started packing my stuff and call it a day.

I paused for a moment, and then it hit me, is like school day all over again. Not the fun and you-can skip-class type of University school days. *Yes mom, I skipped a few classes. Maybe not a few. But you will never know!!! Cause I don't remember also. Hahahaha*

But is those primary and secondary kind of school days. You go to school, drag yourself through the classes while you wait for recess, and after recess, you drag yourself until the bell rings to indicate the official fun time has just started. Just like going to work, wait for lunch, after lunch work again and then wait until 5.

And as a student you can choose what extra-curriculum activities you want to join. Tennis, ping pong, basketball and all sorts! Just like working adult can join the drinking kaki, shopping kaki, movie kaki or I-choose-to-be-alone-and-don't-need-kaki.

As for me, I stay at home after work. If I do go for shopping, it feels like the days where me and my family go to this stationary shop which were like heaven to me. *Ironically, I'm still obsess in buying stationary*. And if I go for a movie, it also feels like the days where my whole family watched TV show together in the living room. And if I go Cell Group, it feels like having yamcha session with my friends. Or if I go bible study, it feels like going for a tuition class, just that the subject is no longer chemistry or history but GOD-story. LOL

Looking back, the only thing change is the people around me. The routine is still pretty same. But I guess is a goof kind of routine. At least I still have time to do things that I enjoy doing, e.g reading, blogging and drawing. And I'm thankful for it.

Oh! And October is coming to an end. I've started working in this company for 3 months already. And I never once look for another job! Yeah to me! Unlike the previous jobs, the first week I'm there I already feel like leaving! ><
ღ

Church had a Halloween party last Sunday. I didn't go for 2 reason. No cash and no energy! LOL. I've been in church for the whole day, if I still go to the Halloween party, I'll look like a zombie without having to put any effort in it.

Anyhoo! Oyan went and she wanted to go as this


So she turned to her most talented friend for help! ME!! Hahahahahahaha!
OK. I admit! I volunteered myself to do her makeup because is just so fun to draw on other people's face! LOL and here's my masterpiece!


Nice nice nice?!!! I'm super proud of it ok!!!! Hahaha

Anyone need makeup artist for their Halloween party?
Please leave a comment below with your e-mail address and I will contact you shortly!

XOXO

Love,
Constance

My hair still smells nice

So I've been procrastinating the whole day and FINALLY I'm in-front of my laptop to write this post.

 I rather not say why I've waited till now, somethings are best kept as secrets.

ANYHOO!

I went to my usual check-up last Thursday, and man! It was a GREAT day! 

My doctor is a very friendly guy, sometimes we just talk about random stuff. 

And the conversation below happened last Thursday.

Doctor: So, why the name Constance? You gave it yourself?

Me: Nope.

Doctor: Your parents gave you the name?

Me: Nope.

Doctor: Your friends?

Me: Nope.

Doctor: Then?

Me: GOD!

Doctor: AWESOME!

I like my name "Constance" very much! Although I'm still very shy to introduce myself with this name, but I really LOVE it because of the meaning behind it!

I can never give myself a more awesome name than this! And most of the time when I introduce myself with this name, people will be like shocked and say is a very special name (in a good way), and it really is!

You see! my name is CHRIST centered! The cross is in the middle! LOL

Thank you Abba!

Hehehehe! Ok ok. I digress. 

After meeting doctor, I walked towards the lift while reading the paper that doctor gave me to read. And behold! Standing there was a little boy only 1 year plus with his nanny beside him.

He wore a yellow t-shirt and a dark color pants. His t-shirt have some stains on it, I guess is his saliva and probably some mucus since his eyes were red. *Just like mine when I used to cry like ALL THE TIME when I was younger.*

He walked towards me and he reached out his hand to grab my paper which is obviously too high for him. So I squatted down and looked him in the eyes, showed him my palm and said "high 5!" in a ridiculously high-but-children-friendly tone. *somehow children respond to this rather than a hello~  I wonder why~ *

He looked at me and gave me a soft little high 5, and his face seems more relaxed compared to a second before. Then I repeated the same once again, and this time his high 5 was more firm.  And he was smiling, so were me.

He came closer to me, and stood right in-front of my chest. I felt like he wanted me to hug him. But before I could even react, he pushed away my left hand holding that few pieces of paper.

I was shocked, and it got me thinking. Why is he so resistant towards paper? 

Maybe, just maybe... when he go towards his dad or mom, they choose those stake of paper work over him. 

*if is true, is just so sad... so so sad...*

I stayed with him and I talked to his nanny for a while before the lift came and I got to say goodbye to that little kid. He looked at me, eyes to eyes and the lift door closed before he could react to my good-bye wave. 

I wonder if I will be seeing him again next Thursday.

I better prepare some candy and cookies just in-case! ^^

Oh! One last thing! Remember the books which I customized the front cover?

My mom was kind enough to order 10 of them! 

Thanks Mom! 

I'm officially "Open for business!"

Anymore orders?

Love,

Constance 

Thursday‘s mumbles

Try to imagine a life without time keeping.

You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calender, a time for dinner or a movie.

Yet all around you, time keeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret passing birthdays.

Man alone measure time.

Man alone chimes the hour.

And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creatures endures.

A fear of time running out.

~The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom
ღ

Sometimes changes happen in a blink of an eye. You were happy for a moment, then fear finds it's way into your life and snatch away all those joy and hope that you had.

Hold on awhile, this is not how it should be. 

No.

Something must had happened between the moment you celebrate and the moment you fear.

What is it?

Can you recognize it?

Love,

Constance

And the little bug follow me home without flipping it's wings

Is been a crazy weekend! 

I ended Friday night with a severe headache and begin my Saturday morning with lots and lots of nightmare thanks to the unnecessary stress that someone put on my shoulder. Boo!

I have to forced myself to come to a point where I lift it up to God and just focus on what really matters and not those petty little things. 

Well, I'm not say they are not important, is just not crucial enough to turn my life upside down.

Ok, enough of my verbal vomit.

After the special morning service with Dr. Ron Chong on Saturday, Oyan and I decided to go to Setia City Mall and join the fun at ChurpOut2013.

Here's some of the photo I took there.

I was pretty excited when we decided to go there on Friday. 

And I was very nervous because I know a lot of bloggers that I follow are going to be there! And indeed I saw most of my favorite bloggers there.

Fourfeetnine

Miao

Ernest

Bobo

Timothy

And yes, I SAW them and not MEET them because I was too shy to do anything. Oyan urge me to take picture with Miao but I insisted not to. Because I was really really really really SHY! I dare not talk more after asking Miao to draw me and saying thank you after that. ><

I mean yes I read their blog, but I don't really know them right? But that's just a part of their life. Besides they don't know who am I! Wouldn't that be like AWKWARD!

Or maybe I think too much, they are popular enough to be friendly to stranger fans, I think? 

OK.

I'm just stupid. 

Is like when I wanted to take a picture with Wan Chean before she flew to London.

We've been in the same church and same zone for few years.

We stayed in the same hotel room before.

We talked to each other before.

And I'm still shy.

><

And the picture I had with her would not happen if not for Jan!

Thank you so much Jan! Thank Kiewwwww!
*OK, I digress. I just want to put this picture up! LOL*

Anyway, I had a great time there playing games and seeing all those familiar yet unfamiliar faces! And I earn myself some badges, got a pretty nice outer wear at only RM25 and also lots and lots of goodies!

Will definitely go for ChurpOut2014! Maybe by then I'm brave enough to say "Hi" to them. LOL
ღ

Somehow for no particular reason, I find my joy in customizing notebooks cover.

Here's the 2 notebooks that I customized lately.

I'm pretty proud of myself for both of these notebooks! Especially the second one since I hand drew it. Hehehe.

Didn't regret buying those marker pens! Love playing with them so much!

Oyan say I can customize this for people and earn some money for building fund. 

Maybe I can.

Any interested buyers out there? 

Love, 

Constance

The place it all started, Yangon

I have a love-hate relationship when it comes to travelling.

I love that I can see the world and get energize through the trip, but I hate all the plannings before I can even pack my bags!

That's why I love travelling with those who are good in planning and I can just tag along.

Without fail, they will always get the best hotel deals in the best location and plan the best itinerary.

But sometimes the places that I want to visit is not in their "to-go" list and I have to plan the whole trip myself. Planning where to visit is not a problem, but planning where to stay is. Somehow for no reason I often get the worst hotel at the worst rate ever! *Please tell me I'm not the only one with this problem!*

Besides, I like spending time alone. Travelling by myself to somewhere across the globe has been my dream for the longest time ever.

And so I confess, I need help.

And where else can I get help other than Travelar.com?

They not only provides a platform to search for great deals, they even have detailed description of the hotels! With picture somemore! *I give a facebook like thumbs up!*

Ever since my trip to Yangon, Myanmar in May, I always wanted to go back there again. Whenever someone talk about Myanmar, I would get all excited and happy! I really really miss Myanmar a lot.

Yangon, Myanmar has a very special place in my heart, because that's the trip that pulls me out from my comfort zone and self-consciousness.

My trip there although packed with seminars and services, but the little time that I had with the locals there opened up my eyes to a world of pure hearted people. Their smile are sincere and as bad as their situation seems to us, they are contented and happy with what they have.

 

Not only that, the historical background of this nation also made Yangon a far more attractive place to visit than it already is. The temples there are beautiful. I did not have a chance for a very detail tour when I was there and I regretted it so much. Until now, I'm still amazed by the beauty of this place of worship and their dedication to their gods.

I mean how many gold temples can you find in the world?

Yangon just amazes me a lot, from the people, culture and even the small little details of their life.

 

And not forgetting their food! I thank God that I have a stomach that is strong enough for any streets food! Some people just cannot handle streets food! Boy, they don't know what they have missed out!

 


 Maybe is because I'm too "ulu" in stuff like this, but Yangon really took my breath away. I would really like to end this year by revisiting where it all started!

So if I could end this year with a trip, it will definitely be a trip to Yangon with Travelar.
*so that  I can just pack my bags and fly like a bee~ wee wang wang~*

Love,
Constance

And she stole the first kiss of that little boy

Finally have my little run away to Penang last weekend.

Ok, not REALLY a run-away since I went there for a wedding. So it was more like a run-towards (a wedding) trip. *lame*

This time around I fly with Firefly and Malindo Airlines. And I got to say I really LOVE my experience with them!

I flew to Penang with Fireflyz, they depart from Subang Airport which is a big plus to me since I stay nearby there. But I still have to wake up early because my sister have to rush to work after dropping me off the airport. So I reach the airport around 7:30 for my 9:10am flight. ><

As weird as it may sound, I actually enjoy time like this. When I can just sit and relax, not rushing anywhere and just enjoy my time reading and observing my surrounding.

I brought this book along, and man! I got to say it was the best decision eveeeeeeeeeeer!!! The auther Mitch Albom is gooood! I could imagine myself in the story and I love the way he wrote it! And there's a lot of wisdom in the story! Amazing!! *How I wish I could write like him* 

And Yes, I finished reading it throughout the weekend, before my flight back to Subang.

I slept through the whole hour journey to Penang. They provided us muffins, peanuts and orange juice. I was so sleepy I just had the juice and went back to sleep. Wasted!

Anyway, I touched down earlier than expected and I waited there for another hour before someone came to fetch me over to the church.

My first meal there wasn't the famous Penang Laksa or Prawn Mee, in fact I did not eat any of those during my stay there. TT Got to stay there longer next time.

My first stop for the trip was the church where they were having rehearsal for the actual wedding on the next day. Man! Getting married is serious business! Especially when you decide to do most of the things yourself. My friend actually brought a lot of stuff all the way from China! >< I salute her!

Helped her open the flower.

Because my friend's from China, she don't have any 'Jie Mei' (bridesmaid)  here, so by default, I became one of her Jie Mei. And somehow I became the Head of Department (as Oyan described it).


We stayed over at a rented apartment so that the 接新娘仪式 will be nicer.

They bought their wedding rings from Cartier, but they made or gave them the wrong size or something. So Cartier actually gave them apologize gifts! Not too bad! I don't mind them giving me the wrong size for my wedding if there's gifts! LOL *acting so cheap*

 

Here's the pretty bride.

Because it was her big day and I think I was high when I promised her, I wore a dress that day, with high heels.

Special shout out to my dress and heels sponsor: Hazel Saw

*It didn't hurt as bad as I expected! Thank God I'm getting better!*

I was busy sabo-ing the groom, so I didn't took any picture of it.

The wedding Matrimony was lovely. I almost cried when the bride walked in with her dad. *such a cry baby*

 

After all that we straight away went to the Hotel where the dinner were held.

Super blessed by the couple as I had the chance to stay at such beautiful hotel! Their single bed is sooooooo big!!! Can sleep 3 of me! XD


Super excited to see the sea just right in-front of the hotel.

Of course that night did not end without the grand dinner.
Had a blast with the SOT mates. Although we only get to know each other that day, but we had lots of fun!






I took an early flight on Sunday morning so that I can make it to church for Pastor Phil's service!


I took Malindo back to Subang Airport. They also provided us buns and water! So nice!!!!




 Thank God that everything went smooth and I reached before the service started! *Blessed*

I feel really blessed throughout the trip.
Thank you, Sis for the ride to the airport
Thank you, Oyan for the ride from the airport
Thank you, Hazel for the dress and heels
Thank you, Xiao Ling and hubby for making this trip so meaningful
Thank you, SOT mates for making this trip so much fun

Lastly
Thank God for all that He had prepared ahead of me! For keeping me safe and placing so many amazing people in my life!

Love,
Contance
