And Then There Were Three

Started my day with two fantastic kisses and joy of joys, I actually got a smashing (or smacking, rather) third kiss right after coming back from lunch!

A parcel direct from the US of A!




Woo hoo hoo!

Look at that, man. What a beauty!

And when I turned it over,
my heart instantly melted and turned into goo.




Dear American Sunshine knocked on my door
and called me Sunshine instead!

So there I was, excited as a bunny on a carrot high, running here and there looking for a penknife. COME ON, darn it! Where is that blasted blade!? My patience is wearing thin and I don't know how much longer I can wait!

Oh. There it is.

*snip snip cut cut slice slice*

AAAAAAAHHH!!!

I can hardly believe it! A whole parcel filled with candy-coloured, fancy-schmancy, artsy-fartsy, oh-so-pretty goodies, all just for me! Whoopie! I show you! I show you!!!

*blink blink*

Amboi! Excited-nye I! Haha.
Tapi tak apa. Patut.

*grin*

Dear American Sunshine gave me a stack of uber-cool themed scrapbook stickers. Check them out, man.

I drooled over these in Perth when I was there for a visit a couple of years back. Loved them. I even stood along the aisle, staring at rows and rows of them for hours (literally). Didn't make a purchase worth my time there though. Haha. Only got two sets. Was way to kiam siap to buy them myself.

*blush*


But... Never fear when American Sunshine is here!
Now, I have 'em!!! Wahahaha. And so many varieties, too!

And that ain't all of it yet.

I got pretty twill phrases! Uh... BABY twill phrases.
Hmmm. I don't know what to make of that.




*kid craze vibe slowly kicking in*

Uh oh. Dangerous territory.

*cold sweat*

Have. To. Move. On.

Look! I also got self adhesive mini metal stickers (the size of regular buttons) that are simply gorgeous! So cute right? Beh tahan ah!

Wait wait! Got summore!

Okay, as for this one, there's a rationale behind it. American Sunshine isn't daft. She does everything with a purpose and an objective. Her direction is clear and her intention, obvious. I know she bought this for me because I'm sweet. I just know it. I feeeeel it in my bones. Yes yes. American Sunshine is a smart one. I am proud of her.

Think that's it? No way, man! More to come!

Next up, there's the very serious, very tough-looking dog bone clips. The only gift in the pack that didn't come candy-coloured.

JENG JENG JENG.

Oh, the terror. Boring silver Malaysian paperclips, you better run to save your sorry metal ends. These clips aren't just all growl and padded feet. They bite.

Next!

A full bridal set complete with shoes, a handbag, an invitation card and a transparent veil. Oh, and two little pink hearts. What's a marriage without little pink hearts, eh? But, hmmm. It's all very pretty and interesting but... I wonder what it all means. You see, there was this phase where American Sunshine and I wanted to get married so badly. Doesn't matter who the groom is, it's the ceremony that counts. Walk down the aisle alone also nevermind. As long as get to walk enough. Haha. So with this... Could it be that she's giving me my chance to play dress up? Dress size a tad too small? (Understatement of the year, I know.) Don't care! Will. Squeeze. In.

And then, it looks like there's no escaping the baby factor.




Haha.

Dear American Sunshine knows me all too well.

But...

*blink blink*

Wait. A. Minute.

*stares at all three packs*


What.


Is.


The meaning.


Of this?!


Semua cha bo baby punya!?
Could it be a sign!?
A prediction by the Sunshine Goddess!?

YEEEESSSS!

*punches fist into air*

I can't wait to welcome my baby girl into the world. I think I should start getting mittens – little pink mittens befitting of a princess. I could get them from Amazon. They're really sweet.

Heh. Sweet leh.


*blink blink*


Okay, that's it.
I think I need to get a grip
before I start thinking about buying pink prams.

Well, I really love the many many gifts but the best of all the gifts came in the least dressing. Good stuff comes in simple forms, my friends.

The gift that meant the most.

Personal Message

Dear American Sunshine,

Only a handful of people know me well enough
to get me gifts I'd like enough to get for myself.
You're one of them. And just so you know,
everything you wished for me, you have given me.
I found Comfort, Smiles, Rainbows, Laughter,
Sunsets (and plenty of Sunshine), Hugs,
Beauty, Friendships (yours), Faith, Confidence,
Courage, Patience and Love... in your friendship.

Love,

The Dawn of a Brand New Day

I love being kissed!!!

And trust me when I say that this time,
I'm not referring to kisses such as those in my last post
(although those kisses are pretty darn good too).

Come lookie lookie at my two beautiful,
oh-so-heartwarming Good Morning kisses.

See! Two kisses and it isn't even lunchtime yet! How nice! This is so the right way to start my day, man. I so could do with getting kissed every day because it's like, you know... So, like... You know? So... sigh-worthy.

Sigh.

Wheee! Tinki very happy!

I Bloody Want THAT!

Yes yes, my msn nick. Some of you have asked what the "THAT" was. And well, it's time to reveal what the mystery "THAT" actually is. It isn't anything ground-breaking or life-changing so don't be disappointed when you find out what the hype is about, okay. Haha.


So let's begin with the introductions. It all started when Australian Angel and I were chatting online (I was having a private Cheer-Me-Up Session) and she sent me a link with a note.

Well, I clicked on it but thought to myself,
"What now la. Can so power meh?"

Little did I know… ya lor! VERY POWER!
Didn't think that I'd like it so much.
It's a damn good link! Check it out!

*excitedly points below*

And as you can see, I took the liberty
AND EFFORT to embed it right here for you.


*blink blink*

Okay, so I'm lying. It's here so that I don't have to surf when I feel the need watch other people kiss (did I just say that?) and I can watch it over and over and again while I continue to drool over their on-the-spot-I-jump-into-your-arms kiss.

See? Now, THAT… was so very the THAT, right?!

Heck, I wanna be kissed that way, too! Damn it.
And I know I'm not the only girl who wants this kind of THAT.

Huffs.

And The Crapping Continues...

And I'm back!

Remember that friend I spoke about that time?
Well, she bounced back with a reply on her blog!

Jeng jeng jeng!

Haha. But, worry not for Tinki's safety. There wasn't a cat fight, we weren't at each other's throats, and we didn't trade scratches. Call back all ambulances for all limbs and eyeballs are in place. And to all you sickos out there, sorry but there's no drama for you here. We're adults. Mature adults… who only trade girlie spats on our blogs for kicks. =p

Well, I spat not this time for I've been listed
as one of her "Blogs Worth Reading"!


*jump*


[Click on image to enlarge if you're half blind.]


Wow.

I feel like I've just won an Oscar at the Academy Awards for blogs.
(Blog-scar just sounded lame so I decided to scratch that.)


And she even said…



*gasp*

I inspire her?

How cool is that?

I feel like a proud mother already! (Except with no massive stretch marks on my tummy and no baby to hold. Bleh.) Okay la. That's it. By hook or by crook, I'm getting my name etched in the great books of history – right between Mother Theresa's and Gandhi's. Remember me now, for they will call me "The Inspirer". (I'll make them.)

And dear friends, this is my favourite part of all time.




Holy smokes!
I HAVE A FAN!!!
That freaking rocks, wei.
Aww, so meng-kamtong-kan!
My very first one!




*fans (no pun intended) eyes
to keep tears from blotching imaginary make-up*


*takes deep breath*

"So thank you all for this amazing award. *sob* First, I'd like to thank God for giving me this amazing gift – the gift of being able to crap stuff outta me that people actually like. *sniffle* And next, I'd like to thank my friends and family for putting up with my incessant crapping all this while. And last but not least, my heartfelt thanks goes out to my one-person-only fan base. You make it all worthwhile. And before they brush me off the stage, thank you all so much. Have a good night. *choke* Kiss kiss."

*walks off imaginary stage
to the imaginary sounds
of an imaginary full orchestra*

Tinki I Miss

I miss you too, babe.

Heaps.

I Got Married

She said, "You got the award because you got married maaa."


*blink blink*


SAY WHAT!?!
How come even I dunno wan?!
Who in the world did I marry? WHO!?


"Uh… I mean, MERIT," she corrected herself with a giggle.


*wipes sweat from brow*


Phew. Talk properly la next time.

I Have Not Been Forsaken

Artist: Hillsong United
Song Title: None But Jesus

In the quiet, in the stillness
I know, that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
There I am restored

When You call I won't refuse
Each new day again I’ll choose

[CHORUS]
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion, I know
You’re sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give, me grace to do Your will

So when You call I won’t delay
Bless my soul, through all my days

[BRIDGE]
All my delight is in You, Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You, Lord
Forevermore

I have allowed the pressures and traumas of my very temporary existence here on Earth cloud my view of the works of Your hands. I've lost sight of its majestic beauty and awesome wonder. I lost it all in less than 24 hours. Sigh. I want to wow at Your mind-boggling, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping Creation again. I want to enjoy this life I lead. I want to celebrate every day like it's going to be my last.

Help me do that.

Your Word tells me that You will never leave me nor forsake me.

I am not alone.

"In the quiet, in the stillness
I know, that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
There I am restored"


"In the moment of my weakness
You give, me grace to do Your will"

Restore me, O God, for I am weak. Give me strength for the journey that lies ahead. And in all things, I pray that You help me do only what is pleasing before Your eyes.

"There is no one else for me
None but Jesus"

6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them;
for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you.
He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Home? What Home?

I want my own place. I don't need a huge place. I'm not looking for a bungalow on a hill with a garden large enough to build a thousand annexes. No no, a small one would do. A tiny two-bedroom apartment would suffice. In fact, it would do just nice. I'd be contented for it'd be my space. My very own little Shangri-La where I escape the realities of the life I lead.

The house I get to call my home.

I'd get to play House. But in real life. I'd decorate it. I'd dress it up. Each room, different and special in its own way. But together, they complement one another like peanut butter and jelly. Contrasting but never conflicting, they bring to mind parallel lines that may never meet but will always go along their merry way, contented by being side by side, and moving together in fluid harmony.

Sigh.

I want my own place.
