I would like to add 1 last DIY post to mark the end of year 2011. One thing that I do regularly every month is budget planning. I'm not too particular and I don't want every single details. Just, need to know roughly where my money goes and to keep myself updated about my bills. A-ni-waay....surprisingly, I can't find what I need in the net. Some are probably too indepth and even when it is simple it is too compliacated and doesn't cater to my needs. So, I went shopping..and nada~ I can't find a budget planner!! Except probably an empty accounting ledger (me no mathematician/accountant). So, I decided to make one of my own. I believe everyone should do this because, really budget is too personalized to come in a one-fit-all template.
#1 I wrote down in A4 paper what I want to keep track of. Basically my savings and bills for that month and other variables that changes with time e.g. food, fun, stuff you buy for yourself. Next, I made photostat copies of those so that I would have 12 budget pieces for each month.
#2 Cut the papers to have 12 of them. Punch holes on top of them. If you are an OCD, this is utmost important step, cause you'll want to make sure all 12 pieces have their hole aligned. But, if you are not, then just estimate ya. That's what I did.
#3 Secure them with these paper rings. I got them 4 for rm1. Pretty cheap eh.
#4 To make sure they last longer, I prepared these hard cover using black drawing board. It's so boring being plain black. So, go bonkers! Be creative!
#5 I just doodled on some scrap card board. It would give a very 3D effect on the cover.
#6 Cut it out and glue! Now you can use for year 2012! :) Very easy to do, and cost me around rm3? Probably less cause I use a lot of stuff that is lying dormant in my room.
p/s- my rabbit responded to his name..yay to the rabbit species!!
Okay, this is all purely my own opinion. Plus, I only started watching lakorn (thai dramas) this year so my opinion is based on the 4 lakorns that I have watched. :). Here are the list of dramas I have watched first:
Sood Sanae Ha (Love Recipe starring Ken and Ann)- The first lakorn that I fell in love with. Not my first lakorn, but the ones I saw before previously aired in the local TV was so bluek~ But, this, this totally changed my mind about thai lakorns. It's has a pretty modern and light story line. There's character development and a lot of meaningful thought provoking scenes. Most importantly, made me LOL like literally. So, this lakorn will forever have a place in my heart, for changing my preception of thai lakorns. :D brings back good feelings.
My fav scene
The next lakorn that I watched was Duang Jai Akkanee (Akkanee's sweetheart starring Nadech and yaya). It's a short 7 episode lakorn. The genre is romantic comedy too. I only watch dramas while eating dinner so nah, no action/investigative drama for me. I'm not risking choking on food or vomiting. yek~ Anyway, it's a classic Romeo-Juliet love story with a thai cowboy twist. The story started kinda slow with lots of bickering between the two main character. I stuck with it despite the slow beginning because of Yaya...My, oh, my...she's a beauty i tell you. She look like an angel!! She's sooo beautiful that I'm not even jealous. So they hate each other and there's no way in hell they would get together. One day, they had a huge misunderstanding. They woke in bed both kinda half naked with a red stain on Yaya's crotch and they thought they did it. This is where it gets exciting!! The hot tempered Nadech then decides to court Yaya because, he wants to be responsible. That's when I fell for Nadech.And then the drama begins.
Game rai Game ruk- My third drama of the year, staring nadech and yaya. Nadech is hotter looking here and both of their acting capabilities improved tremendously making the drama so believable. I bought the whole scenario they were selling no matter how ridiculous it is. They made me believe it!! (maybe some how deep down i needed the escape too). A-ni-waayy, the title in english means Evil Game, Love Game. All started when the islander dumb-dumb Saichon (played by Nadech) found a stranded unconscious lady on the beach. He nurtured her to life (possibly using Reiki powers) and some chanting. She regain consciousness only to find out that she doesn't remember anything. He named her Nang fah meaning angel. (She does look like an angel) Lots of funny sweet scenes later they fell in love and got married. They led a humble, very naive island life. The island is kinda backward i think, the only doctor they have is a witch and no police etc. Up to now, it's Game Love. A-ni-waay, one day they got separated ruthlessly and Nang fah went back to her sister. She lost her memory again after an electric shock treatment. Lots of twist of fate here. Somehow he got a godfather and went to America and became CEO of godfather's airline company in 3 years time and here is where The Evil Game starts. He found his Nang Fah but she has forgotten him. He transformed from a humble, naive, hot-tempered islander boy to a slick, conniving, sadistic, suave, still hot-tempered city man. The story probably doesn't really makes sense now and I would love to give the whole synopsis but I think I'd save it for a whole post on GRGR...muahaha!!

Yaya confused with her bipolar partner cdt: as tagged
Sam Noom Neua Thong (3 golden guys) is my 4th drama. It is still airing in Thailand Channel 3. The story revolves around 3 couples and 3 different types of relationship. It's a modern take of love story. A boss secretly in love with his worker who's in a toxic relationship. A playboy falling in love with a dork, but a cute one at that. And an old relationship in which everything has turned sour. Okay, nuff said. Me not excited. I watched halfway and like..meh~ maybe will watch it again but not now.
I think it's quite clear which lakorn i think is the best.
Let me make this clear about my obsession. Never in my life had I arranged my schedule according to the airing date of this lakorn or any drama. Never in my life have I dedicated a day to laze around and watch episodes I have missed. I never lost sleep over a drama. Never! Never! Never say never. I know I sound like a loser after declaring all that. But ya, that was how I was during the last 6 episodes of the drama. Crazy. Need I note that I'm back to being a human being now. Yes, I am back to normal, people.
that bloody lakorn that got me all worked up is.......

I have to admit. I'm a little lost these days. I am addicted to a couple of stuff, mainly dramas, i move from one obsession to the other and like all addiction, the withdrawal is pain. I move from thing to another but the root cause is the same. I'm finding something to entertain me, I'm looking for something to fill me. When i'm back to reality from my escape world, I realize how imperfect life is. I am burdened by my attachment, and seek to escape again. What is love? Love in reality has many conditions. A very, very simple would be: would your parents really love you unconditionally? I am saying unconditionally. Love in itself has many conditions set by society. The norms they call it.
So yes, I do wonder about the meaning of life. A lot.
is it really this? i think the picture is really beautiful.
This makes the most sense. Really, life's meaning are whatever we give it. Because it doesn't have any to begin with.
I hope one day, I can be free from all my attachment and, shrug it off..
Last weekend I participated in a bazaar at subang parade with my friend. I was selling my thrifted clothes collection. A lot of vintage jackets found new owners that day. Many were my favourite and I don't even have pictures of them!! (just memories left in my head..bleh~)
our humble little beginning :)
It was a tiring day for me because I did most of the carrying on my own. But I find fulfillment when people get excited at my clothes just like how I was excited at them when I first got to them.
