the embark on nature's beauty

hi all..all week i have been so busy tight up wit practices,shopping, caroling n everything else..so today decided to go on a diff kinda outing instead..visit NATURE..hahaha..

initially it was set for kris to prac on her photography skills wit her DSLR..but it ended up having able to encounter a whole lot more..

so after wrapping presents at manda's..i got home to get ready n headed out wit kris..d plan almost got called off last nite due to some probs..but thank god we manage to calm ourselves down n made d plan work..it wudve been a real waste if we haven did wat we did today..

enuf of crap..

while on d road was contemplating whether to head to Lookout Point first of to MV cos kris needed to get some stuff..but d weather wasnt too convincing..so we headed to LOP so dat we cud take shots b4 d rain came down..

so on d way up Kris said abt Stef telling her abt waterfall near LOP..s far s i know all d waterfalls near dat area r deeper into d kampung area..so we tried locating waterfall on d way up LOP n found none..so end up taking shots at LOP itself..n so d shooting began..i was kris guinea pig la ahh..cos im so not fit to b called her model..=/ i will let d pics do d talking now..hehe

inhaling the freshair..

wonders abt someone..




so wanted dat sunray thru d trees...=)

decided to try taking my photographer..lolz..ironic ehh..but we do make a good pair..coorperation is important ppl..hehe..

d flyin buddha Kristine..haha..cun lehh..

love d smile on my crazio fren..hehe

n so after climbing up n down d stairs n MORE stairs..we headed to Gasoline to have a drink..was quite dehidrated..hehe..we end up liking each others drink instead of d drink we ordered..d weirdness...beats me..

after our drink we act decided to head home instead of goin to MV..but on d way down we saw sign boards headin to waterfalls..n so without hesitation we went on d hunt for d waterfall..coincidentally stef msged us n told us which waterfall she was mentioning..we were on d right track thank god..

it was a long n winding road..n kris cud even go "are we there yet"..so ya..it was quite a distance..not dat near afterall..n after almost 15km of long n winding road..we finally reach there..n boy was it awesome..it was realli worth d drive n time..d feeling cud beat shopping man..hehe..n so continues d posing n picture taking in not so appropriate outfit..hehe

SHOPPPIN~~

Just got bak from dinner wit family at Coliseum..sound so ancient right..i haven been there for god knows how many years..n d food still rocks..

neways still excited after a whole day walking pavilion n shoppin wit mum..lucky i din scold her for wakin me up so earli...(9am)..hehe..went for floral arrangement in church first..was kinda scared of leavin late cos PC fair goin on..traffic might b bad..neways we finished floral abt 12+..den mum was worried abt d clothes dats left under d sun to dry..so came bak to bring them in b4 it rained..at d same time she took a quick shower..sempat lagi..

1st time my mum said LET's Go for shoppin..i was still happily watchin Paramore's Decode video clip on tv..twilight soundtrack..Edward n Bella on d tree..awww...i was glued to d screen wen mum shouted lets go..so ya..off we went..

traffic wasnt too bad..yest was worst..stupid friday..traffic was smooth all d way into Pavilion..happy driving..best still..found carpark right in front of d entrance..how awesome..feeling lucky aledi even b4 shoppin..so i new it was a good start..

having eaten some bread in d car, we skipped lunch..din wanna waste anymore time..hehe..headed up to d 1st floor..initially wanted to go Forever 21 first..but saw Ms.Read first..so got mum in since she said she wanted to find tops n i saw some pretty nice wans on hangin..

so got her to try a few...n A few more..n more..i dunno whether she pretend to like it or wat..but all dat i chose she tested it n liked it n she got all..so ya..she told me not to mention how many but yeah..u get me..no oni dat..she manage to sign up for d member card..u can check out how much u needa spend in order to sign up..not oni dat..she got a free vinyl goldish brown bag n a leather card holder which is freakin awesome..n both suits my mum..how awesome is dat..even i was happy for her..hehe..so after an hour or so..we were done wit Ms.Read..prac her shoppin was done even b4 mine begun..=/

next stop..Forever 21..my land..hehe..saw a few nice wans..manage to find size for those dat i liked..got them into d fitting room..s usual..out of d 5, oni 1/2 could fit nicely n looked nice..so got both d wan dat fitted n mum liked..one was a black shoulder/back laced top n another was a redish long sleeved with somethin to tie behind..so both me like..hehe..mum straight got me to d counter n said to go somewhere else to look for a dress..suddenly she sound so cool right..hmmph..i wonder why..lolz..

neways after dat was walkin in Parkson..where we found cun dresses from Warehouse..selected 3 n put it to d test..hehe..first wan was a purplish wan which was a heavy kinda material which i liked d back..den d other wan was a blue-ish print..mum said it looked like an army dress..wth..din fit well..so d last piece was a 2 strap crossed back,satin/silkish print dress..d material is so nice u feel like dancing..everythin was nice but one strap which wasnt adjustable was loose..so it din look so nice from d bak..sighh..so decided to note down d design n maybe tailor make one in d future..

after tryin those..everythin else seem so not dat attractive anymore..=/ well it was way cheaper but it jus din catch our attention..by den i was aledi giving up..walked n walked n walked..ntg nice..finally our last stop b4 we headed down for makan..saw Zara opposite of us..so told mum..one last stop b4 goin down..so headed in..straight there were a few dat caught our eyes..mum saw a purplish dress..i saw more Black dresses..i somehow have a thing for black dresses for xmas i dunno y..i have errr..4/5 black dresses n i wore it all for xmas..i tot i may b able to get somethin diff dis year but maybe i shud juz set my own trend of having black dress n interesting shoes for xmas..BTW, i got the Guess Okanarra Shoe i blogged abt, yest..=)

so took 5 pieces into d dressing room..1 grey,1purplish,1 plain satin/silk black, 1 black printed silk n err one more i cant rmbr..d grey wan was too low..purplish wan looked like a pyjamas..it was a tie between d silk n d satin/silk wan..mum liked d satin/silk but i liked d cuttin of d silk wan..more me..but it was abit loose n d pieces left were not properly handled n torn at d zip end..tried on d satin/silk wan n it fitted perfectly n mum had a smile on her face n i felt dat it cud go with anything..so ya..got dat..n while walkin to d cashier, saw another lace typed top..in purple! hehe..asked mum n she said go try..it was a GO..so with dat, we ended our shoppin n headed for makan cos we were both tired n hungry..hahaa..

after dat headed to Coliseum area to find parkin n made reservations..went across d road to Nagoya Material Store to check out some materials for future usage..n guess wat..we found d perfect color n material for d dress i was suppose to make but d tailor said cudnt find material...=.= so din wanna say anythin abt tryin to get it done by xmas but i slipped it out my mouth..den mum said, but u got ur dress alredi..den i said, can make it for cny den..=/ thank god she din scold..=/ d dress wasnt dat cheap...so ya..

den bought d material n den headed over to Coliseum n met up wit d rest for dinner..d Sizzling Steak was no doubt *HANDSDOWN* to them man..it tasted so good dat i wanted to get recipe..haha..but boy was d old man grumpy..=/ he insisted dat my mum waited for d main course to finish b4 serving her dessert which she wanted to come out first..hahah

neways, I am very happy n contented for today..hehe..it very much covered up d emo-ness n complicatedness of yesterday..hehe..

once everything was set in place, it was time to put up d lights on d tree..boy i think every year i have problems wit d lights..either not enuf or d bulbs fius or wiring loose..jus got somethin dat gotto do wit lights..neways after almost a couple of hours..i finally got d lights up nicely..arms were hurting aledi..

den while i was startin to put d baubles up, sis came bak wit her prof,Evan(my mums long lost brother cos they somewhat look alike)..hehe..den sis needed some help wit wrapping..n so i had to quickly think of a style to wrap..my sis called it another work of art tho it was jus a simple do..
had a quick dinner..first time eatin so much rice at home =/ den it was bak to d tree..

i wud say i was quite dizzy while decorating it half way..color coordination n balancing of sides which i used to b very particular abt was jus neglected n i jus wanted d tree to b done asap..was jus too tired..n after 8 hours on d tree..dis is d final look of my xmas tree of 2008..
