Something For You

Thank you for every single birthday wish on my blog, facebook, twitter and text messages which add up to over 70 of them! Needlessly to say, I was also spoiled with good food and gifts like last year. Due to the immense amount of love and attention I received, I'm still recovering from my lightheadedness. :p Honestly I don't mind going through this all over again next year.

To express my gratitude, I got a song for you. When I first heard this on radio, I instantly adored it. 'Billionaire' by Travie McCoy featuring Bruno Mars. Love the lyric and catchy tune. I know, who doesn't want to be a billionaire. If your desire to be rich is like what the song preach; to make the world a better place to live in, well in that case, I think you ARE already a billionaire. So nope, this is not my birthday wish... I'm already one multi-billionaire.



Travie McCoy - Billionaire Lyrics featuring Bruno Mars

I wanna be a billionaire so f***ing bad
buy all of the things I never had
uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
for when I’m a billionaire

Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
give Travie a wish list
I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
and adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh-t
give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
and last but not least grant somebody their last wish
its been a couple months since I’ve single so
you can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
get it, hehe, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
and damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
yeah can’t forget about me stupid
everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music

[Chorus]

oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire
oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire

I’ll be playing basketball with the President
dunking on his delegates
then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette
toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
but keep the fives, twentys (?) completely separate
and yeah I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket
we in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatever’s left and just split it up
so everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
and not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
go in your pocket pull out your wallet
and put it in the air and sing

I wanna be a billionaire so f***ing bad
buy all of the things I never had
uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]
I wanna be a billionaire so f***ing bad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME~ :D

I feel 18 every year... :p

Photos of Nono and My School Reunion

This fellow was sleeping on my bed and guess what.. he farted! I was busily working at my desk and then... a very unpleasant stench made my nose wrinkle... I turned around, he was soundly asleep. I walked quietly to the window; half expecting to see a rubbish truck or something outside.. returned to my desk when I found nothing exceptional. The horrible pungent smell persisted.. threatening to suffocate me. Suddenly it hit me. I moved closer to Nono....and to my horror.. .he was the culprit!! I didn't mean it was a big deal he farted.. I was just..........amused... So. Animals fart in their sleep..... do humans? Just as I was wondering to myself, he woke up and gave me that, 'Yes? Did something just happened??' face. -___-

Despite his little 'disrespectful' act.. I still love this fellow to the max!

How can I not.....

with these sparkling eyes staring back at me. If 'looks could kill', I'd have died a million times.

I think I really irritate the hell out of him. Everytime he tries to take a nap and I want to take photos of him (that's the only time he won't move about), I make strange noises to keep his eyes open. Lol.

I adore taking photos of Nono.. different angles.. different body parts. Lol. My mom seriously can't stand me... apparently every pics look the same to her. Now I'm sounding like some first-time parents if I haven't already. And well, I LOVE smelling my boy! I'm sure you parents agree how nice (your) baby smells. Of course I don't mean their farts (still trying to get over the fart) but their very 'original' body odor. It's addictive.

Love this pic.. he looks like he's smiling!

Okay.. now the finale pic. LOoooooVE this one!! The sweetest pic of us ever! Finally..... .I got a kiss from my boy.... :)

And here are two of the many photos we took at my class reunion last week. The ladies looking prettier after 16 years..... 

It was really great to reconnect back with old friends... friends whom I haven't met for 16 long years.. friends who shared the same classroom as me; some sitting around me.. some who made fun of me.. those fun and laughters (and scoldings from teachers) we shared. The good old school days... sigh. :) Glad to know everyone is doing well now.

This was just a third of the class. Hopefully we'll be able to locate the rest of them and get everyone together for our next gathering which is coming very soon. WoohoooO~~


Alright. I'm heading to the gym now. It's a beautiful day today.. don't stay at home, go out and get some fresh air if you can~~ Have a fantastic weekend everyone! :D

Recent Updates and Etsy Features (Vintage!)

My apology for disappearing for quite a while. I haven't been feeling well for the past week. First, the 'I-don't-feel-like-doing-anything' mood got me.. then Nono was sick... it was so bad. He peed BLOOD..... yes, fresh blood.. lots of blood. We were worried sick! Imagine waking up one morning and discovered pools of blood all over the living room.... just like a murder scene. Thankfully after a visit to the vet and taken some medicine, he made a full recovery. As soon as he got well, it was my turn; running nose, cough, body ache and a little fever. Glad I'm feeling better too. Okay, enough of the doom and gloom. Today is going to be a long post because I know..... you'd missed me terribly. :)

First of all, a latest pic of Nono to ease your worries. It's so good to see him in perfect health again.

Photos taken at my cousin's (the bridegroom) wedding last week.....

my niece. Sooooo adorable right! Smooches~

me and my favourite cousin! :)

my family (mum, brother and soon-to-be sister in law. Dad wasn't there that day). They're going to kill me for posting this. Lol.

Beautiful cousins~~

And now........................... It's Etsy Feature time!~~~ This week's theme is Vintage- Home Sweet Home. I had such a great time putting these together... like I'm doing shopping for my dream home. Hee.

Plenty of amusing things in this shop, halfpintsalvage. For instance, chalkboard made from salvaged window....

Another one that allows you to hang your keys.

Guess what is this? A cheque imprinter! I've never seen anything like this... of course I'm far from that era but still.. it's so pretty!

love their coat racks too. These are made out of stair balusters!

Nursery circus mirror from sweetlilystudio. So adorable right!

Want something cuter? Check out their Pinnochio wood hanger! I bet you'll like this. :D

Vintage transistor radio from solsticehome.

Tennis racket with cover. I've seen this one before! When I was VERY young (have to emphasize on VERY young).

Next, take a look at this beautiful clock from birdie1 which made it to Etsy front page.

Something else I like from this shop - vintage wood hanger (print included).

How about a pink wagon for your plants from baconsquarefarm. The men may not get it but this pretty wall decor has got 44 hearts in Etsy (one from me).

This one caught my eyes too. It has got 45 hearts. Well... need I say more?

Sweetest (match) boxes I've ever seen! You may even personalize them at tinkeredtreasures's, like the one below.

The following shop gave me quite a headache. I meant it in a good way. There are well over 370 items to choose from Fondue. I tell you, I love almost ALL the items! Their tissue boxes alone top my favorites chart....

and I have not even shown you their Switch Plates... Instead of using the usual boring plates for your switches, how about these? They're like beatiful paintings on the walls.

Lovely cushion covers from JolieMarche.

Vintage jar lamp from MINDASART.

A blender lamp? What else can't you make into a lamp? Creative has no limits eh.

Love this wooden step ladder from Hindsvik. This will do it for my home library in future. Hee.

Drooling over this Map desk too! It has over 110 hearts in etsy. I'm not surprise.

Saw this gorgeous photo frame from IvarsDesign, on Etsy front page just yesterday.

Something for your kitchen... Does your granny still uses this? Egg beater with wood handle from postroadvintage.

Vintage cookies/cake cutters!

Less than $50 to get NINE antique utensils. What do you say?

Want to look pretty even when you're doing housework? Put on these lovely gloves from JulieMeyer, they'll make you enjoy your chores more. *Hinting the husbands.

Lastly, allow me to throw in my lastest listings on Etsy. They may not be vintage but surely as good. ;) Again, I need to stress that these silkscreen postcards are 100% HANDMADE (with smooches) by me! *Actual products will look way better than the photos. More images can be found HERE.

Have you found something you like? :)

My Last Words

I'm back again! Haha. I know I've said my goodbyes in the previous post but I feel there are still so many things I have not say and people I have not thank. Looking back this past one year (getting emotional again), I noticed great changes in myself, in all aspects of my life; career, personal development... physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Also, I encountered failures, disappointments, frustrations, lessons to learn and grow. I met nice people and the 'not so nice' people. I refuse to use the word 'bad' because no situation or no one is 'bad'. Only our perception/ attitude toward them. I firmly believe that everyone we meet or things that happen to us, do so not without a reason. It is up to us to see the opportunity to learn and grow from them. :)

I also learnt to see life in a more positive way and be thankful for everything I've already got (or things I don't have, that I don't want). I spend more time with family and friends, I allow myself more 'me time', I say my affirmations and count my blessings every morning and each night before I go to sleep. These have indeed help me alot. I feel more at peace with myself and thus.... happier. :) I went for my weekly jogs and workouts. Before that, I'm NEVER into any sports (I could only play badminton. lol). BUT I did THESE within the past 12 months (patting myself on the shoulder)!

Now, time to thank the people who'd walked through these journeys with me...

*A BIG thank you, to all the supporters of my works (Byrheea and Dollgift), my blog (hitting 100 followers. Yay!!) including those who are not in the followers' list. You know who you are... thank you. :)

*Friends I made in the blogging world, Holly, Emily (and her CUTEST daughter, Devon), Ning, Pili, Koralee, Janna and Shelley.. just to name a few. Oh, I even have a 'pen-friend' from Germany! Hello Astrid, if you happen to read this! The most amazing part is that, these people are from different parts of the world and we've never meet in person. Come to think of it, I started my blog on 9 Jan '09.. it took me really long to make up my mind to keep one and this has to be one of the best choices of my life. If you refer back to my earlier posts, you'll see the HUGE difference (another pat on my shoulder). Thank you ladies, you colored my world!! :)

*The 8 local stores (wow, 8! another pat) that allow me to consign my works with them. I hope there will be more to come! :)

*My family and friends for their constant love and encouragement. I LOVE YOU ALL! :*

I hope I didn't miss out anyone? Well, just in case, 'Thank you EVERYONE (living things, non living things) for EVERYTHING!!! See, I'm smart right (another pat). 

I better stop before I sound like some Grammy award winner.

I'll be back with my resolutions for 2010 (okay, I'm almost done). Here's wishing everyone a new year filled with loads of love, peace, abundance, (good) surprises, fun and joy! WAIT don't go yet!! Nono wants to say,

'HAPPY NEW YEAR (and remember me)'! See you in 2010!!! :D
