Thursday, November 30, 2006prettyshells' new blog template is up. *cheers*
i love the airplane! lols. hence the decision to create this particular skin with it as the centre of attraction. besides, i love the colour combination. haha. comments anyone?
anyway, i will first have to apologise for the lack of acknowledgment. reason being, my brushes and pictures (plus all design resources) are randomly accumulated over time. and when you include the fact that i simply suffer from STM aka short-term memory, i totally forgot where i picked the stuff from. therefore, if you happen to spot anything that belongs to you on my design, feel free to drop me a note that includes your website so i can give you the credits. many apologies! i better start inventing a way to keep a biblograph of something. sighs.
if you happen to find that my blog is extremely crowded -largely due to the overflow of archives- i am terribly sorry. after two days of meddling with the html coding for blogspot, i'm at my wit's end. i will like to seek help from any bloggers... how the hell do you put multiple posts on the blog without having it overlapping with each other?! i know blogspot has the function of allowing users to have more than one entry on each page, but my entries are always overlapping and impossibly difficult to read. and when i archived by month, the entire month's entries are placed ridiculously on top of one another. hence my resorting to daily archiving and the cause for the extremely untidy layout. rahh. sickening things.
so until i solved the mystery behind multiple entries on each page, i guess i (and you) have to put up with this. sighs.

omg. ayumi's momentum mv is sooooooo nice! *faints*
i just grabbed the mv off AHO and after a slow, agonizing wait for it to be downloaded (due to the stupid snail speed of my computer) i finally watched it! ahhhh. *faints again*
i realised this time ayumi has alot of those kawaii baby doll dresess. haha. and i mean literally look like doll, not the technical term for the type of clothes. anyway, my favourite parts of the mv was when she lighted the candle with her fingers, all the amazing blue candles, the part where all the candles were extinguished at the same moment and of course when she, interestingly, turned into that chunk of snow and sorta evaporated. didn't see that coming.
anyway, i've got a doubt i need to clarify.
(ying!) from the last part does it mean ayumi died? i mean i don't have the translated lyrics so i really don't know how it goes. hehe.
this time, i am very determined to save and get ayu's secret album! *nods head* i really love the picture booklet and the songs. haha. and no, i am not going to ask my mom to purchase it for me again. >_< no more jaychou repeats. and i guess i better go find out what versions of the cd are there. i guess i will be lagging behind cos everyone would have the tracks on their playlist by the time i've saved it, but i will get it! yayy!
i need a diet anyway. lols.

back from my trip to thailand. *tired*
although it has been a long while, about four years, since i've went there, nothing much has changed. the buildings, busy roads and people are still somewhat familiar. since the entire group consists of only girls, the trip seems to be fraught with dangers. especially with paranoid mothers with frayed nerves, worrying about daughters getting lost and other stuff you can think of. it was rather amusing. *grins*
in the previous trip, my dad decided to book a van to shuttle us around bangkok for convenience's sake. so no worries about cabbies and
tuktuks, which is a distant relative of the trishaw, with a motorcycle and a tiny carriage for three. we also had mom's colleague in thailand to bring us around. however, this time we decided to go for a do-everything-ourselves trip! lols. it was totally chaotic, exciting, tiring and amusing. we decided not to commute by their skytrain or buses, because it was so confusing and crowded. plus, a great deal more expensive for a big group of six. since mom has an aversion to
tuktuks cos of reckless drivers and the fact that it could only carry three, we also rejected the idea of travelling in a
tuktuk. so... the only conclusion is that we have to take cabs! haha. i love the cabs in thailand, because they are really colourful and eye-catching. i took a few photos of each of the cabbie!
cool isn't it? ^_^ i love the pink cabbie the most! it's just sooo bright and cheerful. *grins* anyway, i think most of the population in thailand must be cabbie drivers, because there's simply sooo many cabs around. all you have to do is just raise your arm and tada! a cabbie at your service. lols. nice.
didn't do a lot of shopping though. haha no idea why since we went to quite a number of places, for example the central world, MBK, platinum plaza, chatuchak the weekend market and suan lum night bazaar. the night bazaar is a really lively place. lots of people, lots of lights. but we went off early since everyone was practically dead on their feet from all the walking the entire day. tsktsk. what a waste. lols.
all in all it was an okay trip. the fun part was still travelling with my cousins. it had been a long long long time since we went on a holiday together. and what's more.. it's a girls' outing! *grins*

whoa. i haven't been posting here for a long time since hols started and i guess you have the right to whack me for that. lols.

here's a list of stuff i bought:bling cross earrings for xinyi's birthday
puremilk kitty tee for jorim's birthday
monokuro boo handphone pouch and aries' pink earrings for sis' birthday
pink tee with three kawaii kitties from icon
3 handmade earrings also from icon

i was tagged by the fever monster the entire day yesterday. and the culprit for my pathetic plight was due to a cup of goldrush icecream at swensens the day before. >_< previously i was already suffering from mild symptoms of a sorethroat, but i just can't resist those tasty icecream on the menu! so i picked the goldrush which are the healthiest-looking ones around. just be glad i didn't try the sticky chewy chocolate that i was sooooo dying to have. gahh.
after dinner, we went to a playground near xinyi's house (so she can run home in record time if her mama scolds) and started taking stupid photos. ^_^ oh well, it's not like its the first time anyway. then like all trips to the playground, we ended up playing a few rounds of blind mice, before xinyi went home.
but anyway, sarah is well now! eh... almost. ^_^ i'm sitting in the classroom listening to the laugh therapy group presenting their project. i'm so guilty for not listening, but i'm already spacing out. i need sleep... rahh.
okay. i shall concentrate on their presentation le........ FOCUS! haha.
oh yarh. happy belated birthday xinyi! ^_^
