a random sisters' outing.

Blogging from Gloria Jean's.

My initial plan: wake up, breakfast, study, lunch, study, bathe, nap, wake up, study, dinner, prayer meeting.

Instead...due to some unforseen circumstances, this is what I ended up doing.

Sipping away the 'sinful' whipped cream @ Gloria Jean's

Thanks to Careen for her 'tempting' invitation. :P

1 desktop + 1 laptop + 2 drinks = 2 happy sisters

-

We got many weird stares just by sitting here because they thought that both of us are so into using the internet that we actually brought along our desktop from home. Hahaha...

Nolah, nolah...it actually belongs to Gloria Jean's.
As a free service to their dear customers like us. You should come try it out too!
The connection's quite fast. ;)

MPT5&6

Blog is currently under construction. So do bear with the dull and dark layout. Heh.

Announcement:

To all Seafieldians,
Prom pictures will be up in a couple more days. I'm still in the midst of compiling every photographers' work. So sorry for the delay. But know for sure that everything will be up as promised. ;)

*do leave your blog link at my chatbox to share your prom pictures too!

Good luck to those who're having / will be having exams!


Signing off,
Gladys

beautiful saturday.

There's nothing more random than to get lost in Mt Kiara followed by a spontaneous yamcha session with your fellow girlfriends. :)


It's been quite sometime since I had the chance to not-do-anything on a Saturday. And boy does it feel refreshing. But honestly it can make me feel quite restless at the same time too. I kept thinking,

"Something's not right. Takkan I so free right? There must be something that I missed out in my Things To Do list."

Somehow my brain just can't accept the fact that I dont have anything in particular to do today. But too bad... :P
*ne ne ne bu bu*

Off to spend time with more random people!

You guys are so loyal...

Despite the fact that I've completely abandoned my blog, some of you are still been coming back everyday without fail - only to find yourself reading the 'warlord' post over and over again. Looking at the stats, there's at least 10 people per day. My true loyal fans. :')

Being MIA for so long, much has happened. It's quite impossible for me to update everything at one go and you might just fall asleep reading it. Haha! SO, as a rational blogger - I shall update little by little (to keep the suspense going on, and readers keep coming back. *evil laugh*).


MELODY's 6th Birthday :)

celebrated at her kindergarten - together with her kindy-mates. We bought her a set of make-up which consists of eye shadows, lip gloss, and even eyeliner. Unbelievable. Children nowadays are seriously getting smarter (and vainer too). :P But that's not necessarily a bad thing, just that it will cost the parents more money to buy a birthday gift now. Hehe...

Melody & her girlfriends :)

Melody & her boyfriends :)

Highlight of the day: Melody's crush is the one on the far left of the picture.

Hahahahaha....

Didn't know that was her 'cup of tea'.
My expression when I found out about this 'scandal' was the same as the guy standing on the far right of the picture. *jaw drops*

I've been hearing so much of ...

he likes her...
she likes him...
and even
he likes him... lately. (hehe)

I'm seriously considering to be a professional match-maker.

What do you think? ;)

when warlord's love strikes.

Papa Tan always on the look-out for his princesses. :)

My dear Papa Tan is now away at Sarawak for missions and won't be back till next Tuesday. :(
Eventhough he's away, it's easy to tell that his heart is with us. He calls back whenever he can, even said, "Hello Gladys Tan." when he called a few hours ago. Haha! So formal.

Papa Tan will always be Papa Tan.
also known as the Warlord, of course.

He will NEVER let hunger exist within his territory. There's no such thing as 'lack of supply' at home. There's always an overflowing supply of food/drinks/toiletries. What more when he's absent. He'll double everything up - to the point where he even bought 4-5 rows of bread all at the same day. Now we're all trying our very best to finish eating those bread before they all expire AT THE SAME TIME. Haha!

He even called back to specially check if my mom has cooked all the vegetable/meat he bought just before he left. "Don't worry! Just cook ALL. Enjoy yourself..." - that's all he said, and all that we needed to hear. :)

Not to say that I'm so pathetically hungry and need approval for cooking/eating any particular dishes. That sounds pretty lame. In fact, it is lame. But it is simply the assurance that 'daddy will always have my back' that makes me feel exceedingly blessed. :')

Counting down to Tuesday!

Oh Happy Day....

What a happy day it is.

Today is a day where my school holiday begins (a self-proclaimed one). By right it won't start until tomorrow, but hey - no harm having one extra day, right? It is stupid because they always start holidays during the weekends. Potong steam sial...

During our Perniagaan class yesterday, our class teacher allowed us to go online and to 'youtube' to source for creative advertisements as part of our lesson. That was our happiest moment of the entire day of school. Nothing is more exciting than to have your teacher's permission to go online during schooling hours, and whatmore - to youtube.

I love advertisements. They send messages across in the most creative way and they make you think. Some make people laugh, while some can really make people cry - and that's the amazing part. With just less than 3minutes, they can make someone cry while movies need 2hours.

Below are some ads that I came across with recently.
And trust me, they're worth watching. ;)


Tan Hong Ming:
Directed by Yasmin Ahmad, this ad is about a Chinese boy named Tan Hong Ming who is in love with a Malay girl. But there's a problem, Tan Hong Ming thinks that the girl doesn't like him that's why he's been keeping it a secret. However, there's a funny twist in this video when the girl tells that she already has a boyfriend!
Watch it to find out who the boyfriend is:



Family:
Also directed by Yasmin Ahmad, is about the unfailing love of a father to his one and only daughter. :) Very touching.



Children See, Children Do:
This video is named as "A very powerful ad" on youtube, and it really is. This video shows how children learn and imitate everything that adults do and say. We might have heard about that before, but to actually see it happening in the video really brings awareness to all adults / grown-ups that they should really watch what they do & say. A must-watch. ;)



Best Video:
The title of the video says it all. This video shows the love of a sister towards her brother who is a cancer patient. Her actions spoke louder than words. :')



Children - The Greatest Gift On Earth:
I made the title up. Haha! This video is in no way touching or emotional. Honestly, it can create quite an amount of noise pollution - so do lower your speakers' volume, and enjoy watching! :D




Off for an amazing service with Pastor Troy Marshall now! :)
Can't wait!

Cheers...

jerk.

Before...

and


AFTER.

Why, oh why?!

I still remember watching the reality show Jon & Kate plus 8 on the Travel & Living channel. It never fails to bring laughter and put a smile on my face whenever I see the children creating such a chaos at home, while the parents are most of the time - well, grumpy. But regardless of that, they were still a family. That's what made that particular reality show so beautiful.
But not anymore.

I guess reality shows are not all the time 'REAL' - in other words, they're unreal most of the time. Just acting as a form of entertain to those people who are too free to spend their time watching tv even rather than studying though he/she is sitting for STPM next year.
But bear in mind that I'm not referring to anyone in particular. Hehe! :P

Sigh...

No more family trips to the crayon factory. No more family outings.
No more art classes together as a family.

This is really saddening.

How would the kids feel... :(

my new love

Paolo Nutini

A superb singer and musician. (and charming too. heh. :P) I only came to know about him and his songs not long ago, but I'm already in love with most of his songs. His voice is made the songs sound extra nice and soothing. :)
Very talented, indeed.

And he's only 22! Hahaha.. Not sure if he's single though.
giggles. excuse me.


--

Here are two of my personal favourite songs, play and see if they're yours too!

Enjoy! :)

the return of the infamous slacker.

Hello, people of the universe! Again, I say hello! :)

I sincerely apologise for the super lack of updates. I must admit that I have pretty much slacked and failed my readers. I don't deserve the 'Most Efficient Blogger' award anymore. :'

But have no fear! Because Gladys is here. ;)

Last week, I had one of the most fun-filled and tiring weekend with so many things going on just within those tiny 2days. On Saturday, I went for service together with my family where David Oh preached a really powerful and meaningful sermon which really blessed my heart. :) Right after service, we rushed home to have dinner with my wai-poh (grandma) as she's boarding on a super early flight the next morning - 4am, a time which is almost impossible for us to even open our eyelids whatmore to walk our way to the toilet to brush our teeth.


Grandma & Pastor Kevin, Esther, and Eitan :)
-Taken during my church's 8th Anniversary Dinner.

I'm starting to miss her already. :'(
Whenever I'm not feeling well, she never fails to offer her 'massage service' to me.
I tell you....it's really ggoooooooddd. *dreamy face + mouth wide open + stupid smile*
priceless.

On Sunday, our whole family (except Eva. she was home with kakak. hehe!) went to Mid Valley for the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival. It was jam-packed with human beings who own huge black cameras. Jealousy - I felt. Hehe! :P

Ofcourse, the reason why we went there is not to expose ourselves to H1N1 - but to support my dear sister Careen Tan as she was one of the models chosen to be part of a photography competition. Not to take pictures, but to be taken. ;)

Careen getting her hair done. :)
*click to read more about the event!
The photographers were so aggresive that they just snapped whatever that they see the models doing. I came across quite a number of some 'not-so-beautiful' pictures of the other models doing some random things like, talking on the phone, and even yawning. Haha! I had a good laugh browsing through the pictures. It made my day.

Jie, we're really proud of you. Keep it up!
Know that you'll always have our support. :)



"I can't wait for your next update, Gladys! I heart you!"
-Evangeline Tan

Hehehe...

Till then, remember to drink more milo! :))

the Tan sisters' pictures of the week.

I've come a long way this week - pulled through schooling days, and finally my long-deserved weekend is here! I love weekends. It's the only 2-days of the week that I can really do what I want to, and not what I have to. ;)

And I finally resumed my bible classes today! *clap clap* It's been months since I had bible study - ever since I went off to the jungle, if you know what I mean. And it's great to get going with it once again. :) Happy happy!

Exams are in 3days' time. Have I studied enough? Well, honestly I don't know. Let's just say that it's never enough. Just as long as I study what I'm being told to, finish all my homeworks (hehe..), then I think I'm ok. ;)

Hopefully.

Just have to put all worries aside and trust God. :)

Well, just to brighten up your day - here are some of our 'sisterly-love' moments of the week. Hehe.. Enjoy!

The most adorable baby ever! :) She's all grown-up now. So fast!
Too fast,really. :(

The geeky side of Evangeline. :P

Loveen, Evangeline, and Melody :)

Us :)

Crazy faces!

Evangeline: "Sshh...."

GERAM!

Melody + Me: "Look to the camera!"
Loveen: "Aah! Evangeline!"
Evangeline: "Let me go, you woman."

This is ART, people... This is art.

Eva put too much of face powder. Hehe! :P


Last but not least, a message from Melody and I ...

"Enjoy your weekend, ya'll!"

;)

back to business!

Hey people,

Just wanna sincerely thank you guys for always coming back even though there's nothing new to read about. Haha! Time has been very limited to me for the past few days, and my health is just starting to better itself. This entire week of schooling has made me want to go back to home-schooling, seriously. That's because time is nothing but wasted in school. Not all teachers teach, some do - but the students all scratch their heads during their lessons (okay, maybe just me), we're forced to do some stupid assignments every now and then just for the sake of gaining 20% in our upcoming examinations...and etc. I constantly find myself complaining about school, but since nothing's gonna change even with me complaining, I better stop.
I think just by doing that, I have added 10 more years to my life. Weee...~

:D

GALA DINNER was awesome, people! :) It's my regret that I didn't take enough photos that night to post it up here. Let's wait for Adele to post them up again, shall we? :) Hehe... And thank you for your votes too! It was my first time winning an award. Haha!
But I must say that I'm very encouraged by it. :)
Will continue to serve God the best I know how.

The night was truly beautiful. Everything was so well planned by the staffs and everything just turned out so perfectly fine that night. :) And the media crew! OMG, they're the most creative people in the whole wide world. Just by watching all the videos made specially for all the different categories nominated made me laugh my butt off together with Melody. Haha! I can still remember almost every single one of the videos, can you believe it?
Extraordinary! ;)

Pictures taken may be few, but memories of the night are priceless. :)
I'll write them down in my diary so I won't forget.
(especially when exams are just around the corner, there's not much memory left in my brain. hehe!)
It was truly - a night to remember. :)

And I'm sure everyone who was there that night would agree with me. ;)

facebook quizzes that entertain.

I'm sure at some point in your life of lepak-ing in facebook, you must have tried some of the most stupidest quizzes ever made by the human race.

I know I have.

and CrushBot is one of them:

Honestly, I don't mind Joo Won. But the problem might be that he's not into older women like me. Hahahaha! But I still love him. :)

"Joo Won, wo ai ni!"

Stupid Quiz No.2 is the
"What will your next lover's name start with" quiz.
I took it, and here goes the result:

M is the letter, ya'll.
No idea what their judgement is based on, but I must say that I'm quite positive about this.

M is for....

Mike Shinoda
I used to have such a HUGE crush on him. But after finding out that he's actually married, I gave up on him. But that doesn't mean that I don't love him anymore. My love for him is still strong - so strong that his handsome face is currently on my room's wall. Not only him, but his 5 other band members too. Haha!

Mika
though I'm not really into his type of 'kindergarten-singing-like-the-chipmunks-style' music.
But he has nice curls though. Mika, because of your hair - you're IN.
Give thanks.

Milo Ventimiglia
His name I love. What would this world be without Milo? Oh Milo, you're my love and my life. You're the thing that keeps me going on every single day. I drink a cup of you everyday before and after school. You're my oxygen.



Matt Dillon
He's forever the bad guy and the jerk in movies.
Especially for 'There's something about Mary'. Haha! :D


and

John Mayer!
They didn't say Last Name cannot ma. Hehehe..

Matt Dallas
*melts*


Matt Damon
Another ex-crush of mine. Hee! :P
But he too, is a married man. Sigh....


Mark Wahlberg
The big bro of the 4 brothers.
The brothers from another mother.

Last but not least....

Matthew McConaughey!
(wah, this one has double-M. is that a sign..?? o.O)
Can't find a decent topless picture of his on google,
so here's a picture of him with a shirt on.

--

Aah... After taking this quiz, and seeing its results, I must say that there's still hope in facebook's quizzes. Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

--

Ok,ok. Enough of all the facebook hu-ha.

Tomorrow is our 8th Anniversary Gala Dinner, ya'll!

*clap clap*
This weekend we're celebrating the church's 8th Birthday!
8years of God's unfailing love and goodness :)

100 tables have been confirmed for the Gala Dinner,
and I predict that tomorrow night will look something like this:

Ooo...Aah...Wah...Laaa...

You know why? Because that picture itself is taken from the exact same ballroom that we're gonna use tomorrow - that's why I'm so confident that it will look something like that. Hehe! :P

Heard that tomorrow will be something like an award show.
Some members have been nominated for certain award categories - such as Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Security, Most On Fire Choir, Best Children Church's Teacher...and many more! :)
Our church members got the chance to cast their votes last weekend, and the winners will be made known tomorrow at the Gala Dinner. :)

And I'm one of the many nominees too! Haha..
Really didn't expect that.
But I'm thankful! :D

Who knows there might even be red carpet also?

Wahahaha.. 38 man me.

One thing for sure is that the Gala Dinner pictures will be flooding facebook starting tomorrow midnight - that'd be from all the efficient facebookers.

Hmmm.. maybe we should add another category for the awards.

The Most Efficient Facebooker In CHCKL.

Hahaha!

Hmmm.. I wonder who will be nominated for that.


Au Revoir!
