I should thank God dat till my age almost reach the edge of the twenty’s, i still have my grandparents (from my mother’s side)…since i am the eldest grandchild, i somehow can feel their love, attention, etc dat i receive are slightly "bigger" than other grandchildren. I do enjooooyyyyyyyyyyy the blessings…^^
This morning, my 2nd uncle’s wife (the uncle, whose house is also my family’s place to stay at till my own family’s house is finished), was cleaning her warehouse. A small room near the kitchen where she usually put unnecessary-at-the-time-being things. This time was a really huge cleaning. She threw away her youngest son’s toys, unimportant kitchen utensils, bla bla bla…
I didnt help her since the room is sooooo tiny dat only 2 adults can be there@the same moment…so i just watched her activity from a far, until i saw my grandma’s old chinas at the corner of her temporarily "unwanted things" corner, ready to be put away from home…
The memories of how i spent my chinese new years’ in my childhood came across my mind such a dejavu…all of the big family’s members (my mom has 6 siblings) went to the dining table to and fro for taking food (no table could make the big family sit together around, so we choose "buffet" as the method of our chinese new year’s dinner).
The crokery which unfortunately do not come in the same pattern (i assumed they didnt survive from the-house-moving-scenes which happened to be more than our fingers could count on)were soup’s big bowl with a cap n handle. It’s hard to paired them with other utensils, but being a person who’s giving sentimental side’s a higher credit, i decided to be their new inheritor…
My auntie didnt object to my decision. So, i asked the servant to wash them all and i put them in a box altogether. Me myself wrapped them one by one with old newspapers. I amazed dat almost all of them were written "made in holland" and there’s only one which really eye-catching was written made in bavaria…yipppiieee…

it’s december…n it seems dat i smell christmas everywhere…it’s not because most of da stores decorate themselves in "christmas"…i do smell the spirit of it…i wish we could have a white christmas here…
My life is in smooth sailing mode rite now…after the "hurricane" time, there’re still a lil bit mess here n there, but it’s still under control…again…i would thank evrybody who were there for me in da middle of my emotional turmoil…luv y’all…
do u still remember dat i tried to run a side job by selling kids n women clothes around lebaran???well, i’m still running ‘em…n lately my supplier seems to have a big confidence over me by giving more quantities of clothes.. as a result, i try to find more customers to throw my stuffs in the street…
well, i usually do not face the end-user by myself…i have some "agent"s ^^ as the retailers. Most of the retailers are people i’ve already known, usually from my workplace (the wife of a, the sister of b, etc, etc…).But today, i decide to find ‘em by myself. i take it as a challenge n for the reason, i choose to search ‘em door 2 door…
I have put my feet in front of the store when i saw "close" sign there…ditto with the next one…since i have to calculate the transportation expense…i decided to go home…(how come they’re closed in workday, though they dont know each other…mumbling…mumbling…)
But still I didnt want to give up n went back with bags full of clothes, so i think it’s the time to use my other skill taken from my last job,…telemarketing…^^. I checked my contacts numbers@my mobile and found dat some names on da list can be potential clients…
….I’ve done my jobs by clicking "send"@my mobile…now it’s the time to wait for the feedback…^^

Before i started telling ma story…(khatsa da story telling lady…kkkk).i should thank Fonny as my big fans (kkkk…)dat after i read her comment, something urged me to write another blog today…i am actually still very lazy now…ok…here we go…
Yesterday i went to a wedding party…the groom was actually my hi-school fren, but i didn’t acquaint well w/ him back in the old days…his mom is my mom’s fren, so i accompanied her to go to the party…the pre-party preparation was the main topic i want to share w/ u, guys…As a grown up gal…i did put some make up…then after the finishing touch,…i just remember how stupid i was if it’ had something to do with make up…here is the story…
at hi-school my bestbuddies seemed to be pros in make up things,but me, especially yui n camelia…i was the dumbest among them…san n jessica were good also…my skill was only put a lipstick on…i remembered dat everytime there’s a sweet 17 bday party, i always asked my mom to help me w/ da make up n using her make-up tools also…i did a lot of saving from da cosmetics stuffs dat time…yui was the make-up guru among us (i think she is still…).we acknowledged the brands of shu-uemura, shiseido, ysl, clinique,etc etc was from her…not only da surface, guys…she made us knew what shu uemura good at, but if u want to buy dis, buy dis brand, not dat brand…two thumbs up for yui…till now i still ask her opinion on cosmetics…yui rocks!!!…
at uni;i took tourism as my major, so according to our "mommy" (she was the head of our department n da tourism students always call her "mommy" since she did like our mom then our lecturer…she’s so kind…), we have to be always look good in front of others, especially our customers, so for the "exercise" we have to put on our make up everyday esp.on the day with our uniform (it was monday, wednesday and friday)…so, i try to thicken my screwed up eyebrow w/ eyebrow’s pencil n of course the lipstick…dat’s all…in this period, i remembered jessica taught me how to put a good lipstick n lip liner well…if u forget, jess, it occured in our HIMA’s room, around our 3rd semester…whatta dumb khatsa…the gals in my dorm also gave lots of influences, esp. ce xiao mei…she was da one who helped me up with shaping my eyebrows… in china till almost-now;still i cant put a proper make up i think…but i have bought the tools by myself, mostly red earth n oriflame…in this period (in china) qing-qing was the biggest influence of mine…she told me to put colourful eyeshadow in my eyelids since it makes my eyes more interesting to be looked at…kkkk…once she demonstrated the make up on me…she did it with some introductions, tips, etc…n the result she put the eyeshadow too much n said,"ehm, sorry it’s not suitable for the day activity,…you look like ming xing (= celebrity) rite now…".kkkkk…n maybe as time goes by, i gradually know the "map" of my face…my skill on putting make up was getting better n better…i even did my make up by myself when i have to be "on stage" for the company’s christmas event in 2003…kkkk…then i decided to thicken my eyebrow by putting some tattoos…it did a lot of help…especially whenever i finished my swimming, i dont have to be worried whether my eyebrow is still there or "dissapear"…kkk…
But, one thing dat i still couldnt do till 3 months a go was…mascara…i gave up in it since mascara is liquid, black, n near the eyes…it’s really scary…kkkk…but, i realized dat mascara plays a big role in making our eyes looks bigger, fresher, n lively…
i looked up in my beauty case n i found a brown maybelline mascara i bought at guangzhou in 1999 n a blue oriflame mascara bought in 2002…i took ‘em n put them in da dust bin…maybe they were poisonous to my eyes now…kkk…sadly, i haven’t
touched them at all…they’re still some brand new mascaras without looking at what year i bought them…
Then i bought a new black maybelline lash discovery…it’s hard at the first time putting them on my lash (considering my phobia…kkk…)…but i
put aside the phobia, sms-ing ce xiao mei n yuce on how to put em better…(thank you guys…), n also asking somebody which opinion i can be believed at rite after i put the mascara on…
n voila!…i wear anna sui’s volume mascara rite now…
my next challenge will be…liquid eye liner…i plan to buy etude’s liquid eye liner for the beginning…wish me luck, guys…

Hav u guys noticed dat i never wrote ’bout my dad here???well, okay,i’ll do it rite away…
well, my dad now actually is my stepfather…i lost da real one when i was 5 n my mom remarried when i was in da first week of 5th grade…whatta coincidence 5…kkkk…i have no siblings from this dad…
my stepdad’s characters is totally different from the first one…but, i just realize dat his character do suites my mom, me, n bro precisely…he’s a quite man, hardly say complain, luv pets (eni pets will do…), on-time (ehm…my opposite…), etc etc, but he doesnt like travelling…so, he never sees another country…me n my mom have a plan to lie to him…so we pack, grab our passports, n put a sleeping pill in his drink…n when he open his eyes…voila…a real different atmosphere around him…but my mom still think about the possibility of he’s getting mad on us…kkkk…
when we’re little, me n my bro usually thought dat our stepdad was the coolest father ever…cool here has the meaning similar to what is mentioned in da dictionary…so, my bro n i are closer to mom…
but, in our last lebaran holiday, i encountered an event which proved dat he’s totally should take the credit as the coolest father ever…well, he joined us in a basketball games (between cousins games)…i never thought dat my dad, bro,n me myself could be a great team in dat games…though he is 50 now, he still could do da shots, passings, etc like us…well, i never talked about this to eni other members of my family…dat the basketball game did erase the bad impression on him, taken from my childhood time…
we played without time limit, but one of the team should reach the score of 100, then we’d stop. But, the voices of the mothers beat enithing…the mothers shouted to us,…"HEY, IT’S DINNER TIME…CUT IT OFF"…
i see my dad now in a totally different point fo view now,…if we can be a great team in a basketball game, why not in dis real life????…
