mission failed... hahaa...

Hmm... getting a gift for a friend isn't really the easiest thing to do! Well, especially if it's for a close friend. You would tend to worry if he/she would like it, if it's his/her style, if it fits, if that's what he/she is looking or hoping for...and plus, the older we are, the harder it is to get gifts. I tend to look for items that are practical yet meaningful. Flowers or perfumes aren't top of my to -buy list. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind receiving them as gifts :P ** hypocrite** hahaaaa.... nah... i just don't like giving someone something that at the end of the day has no sentimental values. Hmmm.. maybe that's why i find buying gifts soooo hard! ahahaaa... *smack own forehead*!


Anyways, went on a mission to buy gifts today... end up buying a tee for myself. Oh oh.. no... actually bought one for dad too (pic below: in white tho). It's from bossini- The Simpsons. Super cute! Supposedly for father's day but since the movie is out today, they (i think) put it up for sale again at a special price. Which i think is a pretty smart move! Well, at least they got my attention. hahaaa. Hopefully, my dad would wear it. We'll see. hahaha... I think he'll just wear it to bed. hahahaaaa. oh well, better than not wearing at all aye? :p Hrmmm.... Now i knw how my mum felt when I didn't wear the PINK tee she bought me from HK. Sorry mummy! I love youuuuuu :p

Gonna watch The Simpsons movie tmrrw! can't wait!!~~ maybe i should wear the tee i got today. Hahahaaaa... isn't it a cutey!! couldn't resist it. The outline of Bart are of the phrases he says in the cartoon! can't see it from the pic... but yea... you get the picture. :P
okie.... "ciao, babe!"

Hug-huggy-hugz!!!

I love getting hugs!! and giving hugs too! :) A lil hug can mean so much. It can be a simple sign of love and affection or comfort and support.


Hmmm... haven't been getting any proper hugs. Mostly, hugs that kinda say " Don't you dare come too close!!". Maybe I stink...?? hahaaa. Oh well, maybe it's jst not common for some people to hug each other unless there's something depressing happening to that someone or when someone's leaving home for somewhere far. Which is really a nice thing to do... But I guess, hugs can be shared anytime, be it happy or sad, or jst to say hi after a week or more of not seeing one another. You can hug someone after dinner or 'yum cha' to say goodnight, take care, meet up again... somewhere along those lines. hehe. Sometimes, I do miss my friends in NZ because it's just a norm to hug each other when we meet!

Hmm.. maybe tt's why the Free Hugs Campaign started by a guy known as Juan Mann who wanted reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.



How it all started? He was living in London but had to return to Sydney when things turned upsidedown. When he arrived at the Syd Airport, no one was there to welcome him. No smiles, no welcome hugs. Seeing how others had family and friends welcoming them with smilling faces and hugs, he too wanted that same feeling. So he decided to hold a cardboard with "FREE HUGS" written on both sides at the busiest intersection in the city. Little did he knw that this was the start of something phenomenal! After 15 mins of stares, people started giving him hugs and some even volunteered to give out free hugs. Awesome huh??

In fact, 7/07/2007 was declared the Free Hugs day in order to support the campaign! Awww... I didn't knw that!! would have gone on the streets! hahaaa... Oh well, everyday can be a free hugs day aye? Just give your family and friends a big warm hug!!
