New Year, New Resolutions.

Ok, so everyone's already done with theirs. Posted up on facebook, blogs, diaries and what not and I know I should have done this way earlier but better late than never! So 2012 has ended pretty quick as everyone have already said and honestly, it has! So here's a little recap for my year.

1. Had my first road trip to Melaka with the boyfriend.

2. Worked in Kumon for my 11th month now! Couldn't be more proud of myself :)
3. Close to 2 years since we had Colinboy in our lives.

4. Witness my cousin's wedding, the first from my generation.

5. Ramped my car up to a divider and got myself a disabled car.
6. Traveled to Korea with the youths and young adults.

7. Performed in front of 30,000 people in Korea.

8. Started studying again in KDU University after an 8 months break.
9. Finally met Jinnyboy, Reuben Kang and Joseph Germani all at the same party.

10. Climbed Broga Hills with the boyfriend.

11. Celebrated my Big 20.

12. Met Victor Kim, Andrew Garcia and JR Aquino live and got their signature! Big big thanks to the awesome BFFZZ for winning em tickets.

13. Not forgetting The Ming Thing as well!

14. And and Qiu Qiu retweet my tweet as well. Okay, it may not seem like a big deal to you, but to me, YES omg.

So, there goes to some of my highlights of year 2012. Of course, there are more but how much can a brain remember? Especially when you're talking to a person who has a memory of a dory fish. No, seriously. I can easily forget parts of movies that I JUST watched. And yes, it seems like I've enjoyed myself in 2012 but it was definitely one of my toughest years. Honestly, I'd admit that I've struggled in almost every part of my life this year. From family, finance, studies, relationship and even getting myself to drive. I could have been in my lowest this year, I knew I could have. But He was there with me, that I knew too. He gave me strength to overcome. Gave me hope to continue living. Gave me reason to believe. I've learned so much this year and I believe I'd learn even more this year. I know I'm ready for this because He has prepared me for my worst. So bring it.

♥♥♥

The old is gone and the new has come! With that, I've thought really long about my resolutions for this year. And I know as time goes by, everyone forgets of their resolutions that they've made at the beginning of the years. It happens all the time, happened to me too. But I really hope to keep to my words this year.  And the boyfriend would be my witness. I hope he does :) So here goes.

1. Eat clean and train dirty.

( Yes, that is going to be my wallpaper for my iPad this year, to remind myself to achieve a toner body!)

2. Sleep early to wake up early.

( I have a very very very bad habit of sleeping late since I was a little girl. Let's take this slow but better than no progress right? And yes, up early for my exercise.)

3. Pray everyday or as often as I can.

4. Take up a lesson (piano/dance)

(The thought of me knowing both piano and dance back then really makes me sad especially dance. I really want to be good at it again.)

5. To go for at least 2 mission trips/travel

6. To control my temper especially towards my close and loved ones.

7. To be more fashionable and daring with my outfits.

(If you'd look into my closet, most of my outfits are usually similar or floral. And yes, as much as I love floral. I think I need some different flavor in my closet.)

8. To be a blank slate and try new experiences coming my way.

(Yes, I need to stop going into my little shell and start experiencing new things. Meet new people. Join new events and what not.)

So there goes to my resolutions for the year 2013. May everyone have a smashing new year filled with lots of delightful surprises. I wish you all courage, hope and faith to overcome all the hurdles you may face. Have a great and wonderful year ahead. God bless you :)

 Christmas Service 2012

So the other day, me, the boyfriend and his family were chilling around the living room and this happened.

Josh: So where do you guys wanna go for holiday during the Chinese New Year break? Kelantan? Terrenganu? Penang? Wheeere?

Everyone: *thinks*

Josh: Kelantan okay wert. Can eat Malay food! I want.

Me: Hmmmm dunno.

Josh: Okay then. *looks at me* Just so you know, if we go to Kelantan, you can't wear shorts (I love to wear shorts, fyi). So have to always wear long pants ya.

Me: *looks back at him* nooooooooo, don't lie. I've been to Kelantan ok! And I wore shorts.

Josh: How many years ago was that???!

Me: Errrrrr 3 years ago? Haha

Josh: Exactly. New rules la. And we can't hold hands unless we're married you know.

Me: *gives him stun face* Okay. Then we better start practicing now. Or else we won't get used to it.

P/s we weren't trying to insult anyone here. So don't be offended :)

Josh & Evon #1

Ok. So after reading Timothy Tiah's blog about all sorts of things he say and do with his wife, Audrey, well I find it really cute and hilarious. Like seriously, there were times when I read those post and couldn't stop laughing. And then, I showed them to the boyfriend through NuffnangX and he was laughing as well especially on em fart jokes. Just so you know, he don't usually laugh or get the jokes that I do. So for him to laugh at the things I read, well that's awesome haha. So we both came in a conclusion to follow them and start writing down those moments we had laughing together, saying stupid things together and annoying each other as well.

Before we start off, our title is called "Josh &Evon" well........ cause that's our name. We usually have a nick name for each other. We call each other Bi and Bu but I guess it's a little mushy to write it down constantly in a blog haha. Just so you know, he wanted to title this as "Ham sap n more ham sap" so you better thank me on this one. And no, I am not the more ham sap one. Anyways, so "Josh & Evon" it shall be and here's a few pictures of us :)

 Both of us on our trip to Malacca earlier this year.

The boyfriend with our luggages during our trip to Korea. He's a real joker haha

This is me, of course. Just last week, after I had my hair cut. Nice not? Let me put one nice picture of myself la hahahaha. K la, show you one stupid picture of me since I'm so nice.

Yes, I can have stupid moments too especially when I'm with him.

#1

So Josh was looking for a new phone recently. He kind of broke his current phone's screen cause he's a big man lol. Ok, he dropped it off the tar road flat on it's face when we were heading for a drink at the mamak stall. Most expensive supper, I suppose. So we were doing our research on phones and found this amazing phone that's water and dust proof. It could even be run over by a car and still work. We thought it was very suitable for him cause he's a big and rough man. So this conversation happened in the car while we were discussing randomly. And just so you know, Josh is not a very tech-savvy person haha.

Me: Omg, I really don't understand how people know where to put what and what to put where to make these phones work. Like how you know if you put this thing here and the screen would look like this???

Josh: Well, I don't know.

Me: Hmmmmmm *stares at my phone and still be amazed by it*

Josh: Do you know where all these started from? *sounding all pro*

Me: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess Bill Gates started it off with all these tech la. He so geng........ Wait, I think he invented Microsoft only la right errrrrr *laughs*

Josh: *laughs* Wth. You know who anot?

Me: Dunno dunno *thinks even harder but gave up*

Josh: *pauses* Well, the man who started the fire.

And I tell you if there were a drummer and his drum set around, I will make him play this.

Me: WTHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ok, so Josh and I tend to be very lame when we're together. Ba-Dum-Tsssssh, bye :)

Within Myself.

Relationships: When two are connected with emotions and feelings among one another.

What is it about relationships that people are urging to get into? The feeling to love and be loved makes me reminisce of the moments back in the days when we called it love. Young and fresh searching out for love.  

And then I see friends updating statuses of betraying or being betrayed from the one they loved because of so many reasons whether logical or not. So what happened to those happy times they had together? Those memories that they've spent together. Those loving moments dwelling into each other's eyes. Then I ask myself again, what would the relationship status be if you're away from me for a long period of time? Well, long distance. There wouldn't be any of the 5 love languages that we all know of. Words of affirmation. Quality time. Gifts. Acts of service. Physical touch. It might even slowly fade away, making us forget "those moments" we had together. So what is there left in the relationship? 

Commitment. Trust. And love.

I always believed that commitment is more important than love but does not mean that love did not exist in the first place. Because without commitment, love is hollow and means little more than an attraction. Besides God's love for us. Because we're only humans, and honestly we aren't able to love a person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but we can choose to be committed to a person always. Commitment helps carry the relationship's ups and downs even after the excitement may have worn down. It helps us to consider the other half's needs before our very own.

Trust on the other hand seems to be something taken too lightly. What is a relationship without trust? Some said that it's nothing and I am one of them. Because when trust is broken, it takes a lifetime to regain and is never as strong. Forgiving may be easy, but trusting them again is a totally different story. Doubts. Suspicion. Anxious. Jealousy. Something everyone's very familiar with. Something everyone's not very keen of meeting. People say these comes when there is lack of trust in a relationship. It is built, earned and maintained. Trust among one another affects the entire relationship, it either builds or breaks.

Love is reminded by God to me through His word. For,

"Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

To forget the past that once hurt us. He did not say that there will not be any record of wrongs when there is love because again, we are only humans. And I admit that I have had a record of wrongs myself.

So, Evon.

Learn to forgive.

Learn to trust again.

Learn to love again.

Be strong.

Broken Strings

Let me hold you 
For the last time 
It's the last chance to feel again 
But you broke me 
Now I can't feel anything 

When I love you, 
It's so untrue 
I can't even convince myself 
When I'm speaking, 
It's the voice of someone else 

Oh it tears me up 
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much 
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay 

You can't play on broken strings 
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel 
I can't tell you something that ain't real 

Oh the truth hurts 
And lies worse 
How can I give anymore 
When I love you a little less than before 

Oh what are we doing 
We are turning into dust 
Playing house in the ruins of us 

Running back through the fire 
When there's nothing left to save 
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late 

You can't play on broken strings 
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel 
I cant tell you something that ain't real 

Well truth hurts, 
And lies worse 
How can I give anymore 
When I love you a little less than before 

Let me hold you for the last time 
It's the last chance to feel again

Be Strong

I can't stop having the thought of you in my mind.

I can't stop having the thought of your love in my life.

The love that I once knew,

I couldn't believe it was never true.

How easy for humans to be blinded and unappreciated,

For the love that we have once created.

You were once everything to me,

But now seems nothing to me.

I want to trust you again,

But I know it'd never be the same.

I'm sorry

Hikes Up.

Okay, everyone's been talking about Broga Hills for a very very very very long time and since it was public holiday (the other day) so I've decided to ask the boyfriend to bring me for a hike, since I'm now swimming and gyming more often. Yes, trying to be as pumped up as the boyfriend hah if that's ever possible. And did I tell you that he is now my "personal trainer"? According to a man that we've met in the gym the other day pfffft I can gym alright. Just that the equipment needs to be a little more short-friendly if you get what I mean! Anyways, back to Broga Hills. They said it was easy, I took it too lightly. Waaaaay too lightly because it wasn't very hard, just not as easy as I mentally thought it would be.

Everyone knows that it's famous for it's sunrise but we were late so by the time we arrived around 8am, everyone was heading the opposite direction from us haha. So this is what we got 

 Looking down at the first peak from the second peak.

 Most people didn't make it to the third peak anyways. That's why they said it was easy, I suppose.

 There is a Rabbit Fun Park next to the parking area but I think I saw more goats. Weird

 We finished all 3 peaks in 2 hours. The first peak would definitely be the hardest for me because of it's steepness. I'm serious, I was so afraid I'd just fall out the hill if that's ever possible.

One of our meals after gyming. I never knew celery-cucumber juice would ever taste so good! I recommend O'Briens as an alternative option from Subway :)

Anyways, I've started uni if most of you didn't know and crap there's a lot of assignments when it's only the first month! Now I'm freaking myself out but yes, uni life is so much tougher when you're suppose to plan your schedules up yourself and study most of topics yourself. But I'm getting myself the latest Ipad3 from uni and I can't wait. Instagram, yes. Don't judge me, I'm a blackberry user :) Will update soon!

FriendlyFashion Contest

Okay, so I've been a little busy lately and here's what I've been up to.

Presents from my boss, adding into my hello kitty collection #hellokittyspore #starbucks #newzealandicecream

 What I did with my long jeans, adding lace on the bottom. It's actually very simple :)

How could there not be any shopping #tops #highwaist #highlow 

And bags, oh wonderful bags.

Yes, so that's what I've been up to but that's not really the main purpose of this post. Well,  it's about a website that I've been currently into and yes, it has definitely something to do with clothes or fashion since they cover most of the things. So let me ask you,

do you have clothes, shoes or even accessories that's just piling up in your room?

do you think you'd just splurge on something unnecessary?

or maybe you're low on cash and need a way to earn some quick?

Well, I have a solution and it's a website called friendlyfashion!!

It's a place where you can sell your pre-loved or brand new items for cash, give it away for free if you've a kind soul or even cooler, you can even swap items with other members of this community. What's not to love about this website? Right, so we're all not sure whether it's trust-able or just a bunch of con people. Well, good news is that I've tried it several times already. Be it selling or swapping, it's just so much fun!

2 of the things I purchased and am very satisfied in :)

Both at very reasonable prices. The only downside about this is that everyone there did not buy those clothes/accessories/shoes in bulk, so most likely there's only one piece for that particular item. So it's first come first serve basis, you gotta get it quick before someone else sees it.

Anyways, me and my brother's girlfriend is selling off this vintage green high low skirt for RM44 excluding postage. Again, I only have one piece for this. So do leave a comment/inbox me on friendlyfashion/facebook/tweet me if you want :) All my links are on the right. My friendlyfashion username is Littlemissevon btw. There are other things that I post on my friendlyfashion page as well. So here's a picture of the skirt!

Okay I know it sounds like I've already gotten into my main topic of this post, but I haven't! Alright, it's this little contest from friendlyfashion that I've just noticed and joined 2 days ago. I've joined a little bit later than the rest of the people but am catching up, to my surprise.

So the contest is to become Friendlyfashion's Top 15 Official Blogger! Alright, I'm at number 16 right now, pretty close. And everyday, everyone else's votes are adding up. So I need mine to add up too!

All you need to do is go to their website which I'll put the link on the name here again friendlyfashion and sign up to be a member. It's free! After that, go to this link Littlemissevon and click vote for me! It's that simple :) What are the benefits? These 15 bloggers will receive perks like attending events that FF's been invited to, blog post promoted in FF, be associated with DIGI WWWOW Awards Online Shop of The Year and so much more. Sounds pretty interesting for a person who's online most of the time.

Anyways, this contest ends on 15th of August so you'll have time till then to vote for me! Or if you'd love to try, you can apply for the contest as well :) OR if you don't want to do both (which I hope you'd at least vote for me first), you can start submitting your items into your profile and start fishing for costumers! I won't be telling you steps on using this website because it's really user friendly. Again, like I said before, it's free! This only benefits you which is awesome :)

Alright, thanks for stopping by. Btw, this is my new blogskin. Something simple and sweet but needs a little upgrading. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

DIY: Fringe Top

I've always find fringe tops pretty nice; it somehow reminds me of Pocahontas, don't ask me why. But I never actually thought of getting one for myself. Let me show you a few pretty fringe tops.

These are nice to pull off with a simple denim shorts and gladiator sandals for a day out in a weather like Malaysia. So while I was cleaning up my closet for old clothes to be given away or sold off, I came upon this particular top and wondered if I could make a fringe top out of it. And the top isn't very expensive, so even if it end up looking like crap it's still alright haha.

Ok, so all you need is:

1. An unwanted top

2. A pair of cloth scissors

3. Ruler (Optional unless you want your fringe to be really straight)

 Okay, this is my choice of top.

A pair of cloth scissors 

 Make measurements. We don't want to over-cut your top. Just make sure to wear the top and see how long you want your fringe to be. I've also decided to cut off the sleeves since fringe top always looks nicer being sleeveless or short sleeves.

And start snipping away. You can do it faster by cutting the front and back together, but if you're afraid of the alignment and all then you can cut the front first then the back. It is all up to you :)

 Okay, end result! I am super satisfied with this :) Honestly, there was one major mistake that I did while cutting the fringe. One of the side is missing one fringe, so it looks a little bald there. But it's a fringe top! It's suppose to look a little messy and I don't think anyone would want to count or stare at those fringes that long right? And I don't think anyone can see it until I tell them so. And I'm telling it to you right now, so when you see me wearing that top please make sure you don't stare at the error haha

Paired it with denim shorts and strapped sandals from Korea! 

There you go :) An old top being transformed.

Anyways, that's it for now. Will have more DIYs coming right up.

People. School. Carnival

Went to my high school carnival recently. I guess it was expected to be pathetic and all but what the heck. I was there to meet up with my old friends anyways. So I would say it wasn't too bad of a Sunday morning. Well, I'm just happy to see their faces again after 3 years being separated from our courses but it's not that I don't meet up with them once in a while like some anti-social freak. Ok, some pictures taken by Su Ann and re-edited by me :)

Mei Ki :)

Some art gallery.

 Me sweating while holding my lunch boohoo.

Alright, 2 carnivals in one weekend is just too much for me. I was never a carnival person in the first place. Hot weather, crowded places and not-so-nice food. Hmmm doesn't sound so appealing after all. No more carnivals for the time being. Anyways, there's this event coming up in Kuala Lumpur and I really wanted to go so badly because XiaXue is gonna be there! Like I'm a really huge fan of hers, but the passes are so expensive *cries* But just wanted to post it up anyways :)

 Date:14th July 2012 (Saturday)

Time:8.00am - 7.00pm

Venue:Concorde Hotel, Kuala Lumpur 

Oh how I wish I could be there. It's a conference to learn about blogging, web-hosting and all those shizz. Alright, rushing off to work. Till next time! Toodles :)
