My Youth

Hello my little beansprouts!

I was supposed to be writing a reflective journal for my research project, something that I had been procrastinating on for 5 weeks now, when I fell into the rabbit hole of my favorite Youtubers from a few years ago. A 10-minute vlog of Joe Sugg and his sister slowly turned into a 30-minute-long collaboration of Dan and Phil with my other favorites content creators. It was when I had to get up and use the bathroom when I decided to click on Troye Sivan’s “YOUTH”, and memories started flooding my mind the moment the first beat of his song played through my headphones.


It was the year 2016. I had just graduated a few months ago, and officially finished my government exams a few weeks prior. Needless to say, I was having the time of my life as my future plans only consist of hoping for good results and applying colleges. The only stress I had was convincing my parents to let me be a YouTuber and allowing me to take a gap year to travel the world with my other friends, who I was assuming would be YouTubers too. It was that time in your life where all you had to think was what if we left today and run away? What if we said goodbye to safe and sound? I know it sounds like I’ve lost my mind, but trust me, you can only be 18 once. Oh, if only I can go back in time and have a chat with 2016 me.

And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth and the stars exploding, we'll be fireproof.,

            I was brought back to that one random night my friends and I went for dessert. Mind you that I had just left school, so being able to hang out till late at night was a huge thrill for me. My group of friends at that time included people who were already in college, people who just started working, and people like me. In my mind, it was one small step for us, one giant leap for the youths. We spent hours at that small dessert place, talking about everything and nothing at the same time. We had no care in the world, we hadn’t been given huge responsibilities yet and we hadn’t gotten our hearts broken yet. Life was good, and it felt like we could defeat giants. I felt invincible.

            When it was time to call it a night, a few friends offered me a ride home since we all live at the same area. Some of us had just gotten our driver’s license, some of us can only afford second-hand cars, and some of us were better suited as a passenger. We were blasting songs from the radio throughout the entire journey when “YOUTH” started playing in the background. We were at a stop light when the chorus began, and everybody knew immediately what to do. ‘MY YOUTH, MY YOUTH IS YOURS, TRIPPING ON SKIES SIPPING WATERFALLS’, we belted at the top of our lungs. I laughed so hard that night.

            Speeding through red lights into paradise because we’ve no time for getting old. Mortal body, timeless souls, cross your fingers, here we go.

            The guy I had a major crush on sent me a message that night, asking if I had reached home safely. Now I know what you all are thinking, and yes, he was there with us a couple of hours ago in that dessert shop, yet his message still unknowingly made me smile. They say your first love will always be alive in your heart, and no matter how much you try to forget, it never goes away from your heart. Eventually, him and I became nothing more than somebody I used to know. It had taken me five years to finally understand that unrequited love is the most beautiful love story to ever exist, but don’t tell 2016 me that, it would break her heart. She swore that he was the only guy she will give her heart to, but I think the only thing he got was her youth. Her youth was his, a truth so loud no one can ignore.

            I don’t really know how to end this piece, mainly because there wasn’t any real reason to write it in the first place. Truth be told, it was my way of reliving a past memory of mine, and I miss every second of it. To be able to travel back five years, to be back at the place you had been born and raised your whole life, to be choosing between Dan Howell and Niall Horan as your celebrity boyfriend. It was a blessing in disguise. I had people telling me before to not grow up so fast and to just enjoy my youth when I had the chance. I should have listened.

My youth, my youth is yours. Runaway now and forevermore.

Till next time, my little beansprouts!

Yours Forever

Hello my little beansprouts!


I know I just posted my last blogpost an hour ago, but knowing me, I probably would have a 5 months hiatus before I remember to blog again. So, I thought it'd be a great idea to go on a blogging streak instead of playing Microsoft Minesweeper all night. (p/s, in case you're wondering why I'm playing that mundane game, it's because I'm procrastinating. I was hoping that by ignoring the 6 lecture recordings I have, it would miraculously disappear.) Anyways, let's get into the reason why I'm writing this blogpost.

A few days ago, I started reading this book called 'Eleanor and Park' by Rainbow Rowell (I know, I know. The book has been around for a long time now, but I didn't manage to get a hold of it until now, so sue me for being late to the trend.), and it triggered a memory I didn't know was inside of me. It was a memory about my first real crush. It reminded me of what it was like to have a crush in high school, how it was so easy to fall for someone who might not like you back, and that it was worth it to risk being heartbroken. Although I never got a love story like Eleanor and Park, seeing that I was in an all-girls high school, but I was lucky enough to have a few memorable 'moments' with a boy I thought I would have a shot with. And in a true MungBean-manner, it was just classical of me to have turn one of our moments into a one-shot story.

So, without further ado, here is my little one-peice titled "Yours Forever".

*****

It was a hot Saturday afternoon when you decided to bring me to the pier for a little lunch. After lunch, we decided to have a stroll along the shore, thinking what to do next since we still had a couple of hours to kill. While we were walking around aimlessly, we saw a couple, who are obviously tourists with their huge backpack and expensive-looking DSLR, fooling around. With the guy taking pictures of his girlfriend walking under the sun and trying to pose like those posts we saw on Tumblr, we took one look at each other before starting to giggle. You jokingly said the sight blinded you, although I know deep down you’d like to do it with your future girlfriend as well, and you started to walk around blindly. Suddenly an idea popped into my mind and I took hold of your hand, asking you to trust in me to guide you to the car. You grasped onto my arm, trusting me to guide you to our car, only to be brought to a wrong one. Once you realized what happened, you turned around to get revenge. Our day at the pier ended with you chasing me around like two lunatics.

Since we still had a couple of hours to kill, and the pier was starting to get too humid for our likings, we decided to go to the nearby shopping mall to take comfort from the air conditioning. It was the end of the year and everywhere, shops were having their year-end sale. You told me once in one of our late night phone calls that you desperately need a change of clothes, so I thought going around the mall to scout for some eligible shops was something we could do to past time. Instead of trying on clothes or checking the price tag, we somehow manage to make fun of each other’s fashion sense and ended up trying a bunch of random accessory. It was such a mundane activity, for two young teenagers to run around the shopping mall and making a fool of each other, but somehow it had turned out to be one of my favorite time I had with anyone. Truth be told, if I could turn back time, I’d wish the mall never had a closing time and we don’t need to be at any other places.

We would have spent the entire afternoon in the mall if it hadn’t been for that little text we got to go to a makeshift high school meet up with most of our high school friends. When we finally made our mind up and agree to go to the meet up together, we stopped by that cheap ice cream place that sells really good ice cream just so we can shake the heat off of us. While we were ordering two cups of the store’s famous chocolate sundae, you actually mistaken the cashier to be someone you had met before. To make matters worse, you thought it was a friendly gesture to confront the guy, despite being persuaded by me a couple of times asking you not to. Low and behold, that cashier had no idea who you were. I admit, if I was put in that kind of social situation, I would have probably book the next flight to Budapest and change my identity. But it wasn’t me, it was you. And with some miraculous charm you seemed to be radiating off to the people around you, we now have a friend who is a cashier in our favorite ice cream place. I guess this is exactly why I feel we make a great team. No one in this world is perfect, including you and me, but you make up for the things that I lack, and vice versa. Call me a cheesy weeny, but I’d say we are the perfect Dynamic Duo.

To end our little seemingly perfect day together, we went out for dinner with a handful of our close friends. I didn’t mind the extra company we had, after all it is nice to do some catching up with old friends who are going to go to their separate ways. But deep down, I know I would prefer spending a little more alone time with you. Somehow, I always like the side of you when you are alone with me more than when you are around with your friends. Despite so, you still made it clear that you care about me no matter which side of you I’m with. When our belly was filled with good food and our time was spent with good company, it was finally time to call it a day. You initially wanted to drop me back home yourself because of my fear of driving at night, but since it was too troublesome for the both of us, I decided it was still the best for me to drive home myself. After making sure I would text you once I’ve reached home safely, you walked back to your car and waved goodbye.

It was 10pm when I reached home and did what you told me to do. It was the third time I checked my phone since I last saw you and my phone battery was only at 78%. It hadn’t dawned on me before, but I was so busy spending my time with you and the people I care about that I wasn’t being on my phone the whole time. While I was warming a glass of milk before going to bed, I started to replay the events that had happened throughout the day in my head, while grinning idiotically at the microwave. As I wrapped myself in my blankets like a burrito and snuggled comfortably in my comfort zone, I started to think if it was possible to have fallen for you a little more than I already had. With the monotone buzzing sound of the air conditioner and the occasional vibration from my phone, I silently prayed to God that He’d let me relive those sweet memories with you in the near future, before drifting off to sleep.
*****

Ah, how nice it was to be young and in love! Even if it was an unrequited love. Although the ending of our story was not a happy one, but hey! At least I got this little piece out from the whole thing. I hope you all have fun reading it, because I know that I sure did. I had written this piece a few years ago, so it was nice to momentarily relive every moment of it. Now, before the clock strike twelve, I'm going to leave this blogpost with a quote from 'Eleanor and Park'.

"Did she miss him? She wanted to lose herself in him. To tie his arms around her like a tourniquet. If she showed him how much she needed him, he'd run away."

Till next time, my little beansprouts!

Dear Online Diary...


Hello, my little Cookies and Cream!

How are you all doing? I know it has been too long since I’ve written something here to be able to call myself a blogger, but then again, a blogger was never something I used to describe myself. Let me start this post off by explaining how I got into blogging in the first place. I was a young girl in high school when this whole blogging trend started, with various Beauty Vloggers creating the hype, and many peers of mine started to hop on this trend. It didn’t take too long before I started to join in, just to see what all the fuss was about. It was great at first, writing blogposts as though they are video ideas for YouTube, but then I outgrew them. It became too much for me to come out with ideas frequently, and other major life events overshadow this tiny part of my life.


The thought of having a blog did not occur in my mind ever since my very last post, up until recently, when Life decided to throw some curve balls at me. A little update on my personal life, I have been studying abroad since the start of 2018 and it is already my 2nd year here in Adelaide. Ever since I entered this new chapter of my life, I have lost touch with the side of me that is passionate about reading and writing. I constantly find myself getting caught up with studying, hanging out with friends and binge-watching Netflix. Anyways, about those curve balls that Life threw at me, it got me thinking… 

“Maybe writing something here where no one I know would see would help me go through it.” 

After all, that was how I got through things when I was younger by keeping a diary. Either ways, it’s always nice to have a platform to be able to write whatever that is on my mind.


So, here’s what I’m going to do. I think it’s time to revamp this old blog of mine into something that can suite my current stage of life. I’m going to start writing about more personal stuff here, stuff which I would be more comfortable sharing through a screen, with people who don’t really know me or the people around me. On hindsight, this might not be the greatest idea, in might not even be a good one, but at least I’m able to get it off my chest… One way or another.


Besides that, I’m hoping that by posting content like this, I can help someone who is going through something similar to me, or someone who might be going through it in the near future. All in all, this is going to be my online diary, sharing my unspoken thoughts to strangers who never asked for it.


I hope you guys enjoy it anyways.

The Lasting Effect of a Broken Heart

Hello again, my little cinnamon buns!
It's been awhile since I uploaded a blogpost, and I lot had happened in my life. From finishing college to getting a job, all I can say is my life had changed. For better or for worse, only time can tell. While One Direction's 'Little Things' plays in the background, I thought I would share with you guys something pretty personal about my life, a little revelation I got at 2 a.m. last night. So buckle up, sweethearts. It's story time!



I remember just a year ago I was sitting with a friend of mine in an empty classroom in college, both of us waiting for time to past so we can head over to our next class. Kudos to our amazing college for giving us a timetable that consist of awkward break time in between classes that are too short to go back home to rest, and too long for a simple lunch at the cafeteria. Anyways, we were just talking about anything that came to our minds, like the times we had in high school and the times we had in college. When all of a sudden I blurted out this question, "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

Now, a little backstory about myself. I was a wallflower in an all girls high school with some self esteem issue. My lack of participation in school activities and poor socializing skills led me to have no friends of the male gender for four years or so. Needless to say, I was as single as a freaking pringle. And being a hopeless romantic, getting a boyfriend was kind of like a dream to me.

However, my friend, whose dating life was just as uneventful as mine, gave me an answer that came as a shock to me. Her reply, as i can recall, was "I'm not looking for a relationship. I don't really want to find my first love just yet."

At this point of my life, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't desperate for a little romance in my life. Even if it's just a fling, I'll take my chances. From the TV shows we see to our peers among us, it kind of led me to think that at my age, I should have my first boyfriend by now or else there would be something seriously wrong about me. If it's not so, why am I not date-able? So it led me to ask her the question, "Why?".

"Well, I don't believe that there's such a thing as a first and last love. I know it happens, but it's like those one in a million occasion. Eventually, you'll need to breakup with your first boyfriend, and with every heartbreak, you loose yourself a bit. And I just want to be who I originally am right now." Or at least that's what I can remember. (Please don't judge me, it was a year ago, and I don't have an eidetic memory like Sheldon Cooper.)

Anyways, what I really remembered from that little encounter was the fact that she said with every heartbreak, you loose yourself a little. And it actually took me a year to finally understand what she meant. Fast forward to a few months back, I got into a so-called 'relationship' where we both acted like we're in a relationship but we don't label ourselves as one. I'm not going into details but it didn't end in a way I hope it would.

In a nutshell, even though it's not an actual relationship to begin with, the hurt after the split up sure does feels like one. And it dawns upon me, no matter what label you give to the thing you have with someone, be it a one-sided crush to a love affair greater than twilight, it still involved two person and those goddamned feelings. And when you decided to end things, the hurt you get from the aftermath kills a little part of you you never know existed.

I still couldn't believe an innocent teen who has never been in a relationship like my friend actually understood any of that, but there is a proof behind her wise words, for I have lost a bit of myself today. I'm still in the healing process, and even when things didn't work out for the two of us, I'm still glad it happened. At least I'll have something to reminisce about my teenage years... Before I turn to the big Two-O next year.



So that's all for today, I hope my little life experience might be of some help for you guys. On a completely different note, I'm currently working on a little novella of mine called "In For A Fling" on Wattpad which I would really appreciate it if you guys go and check it out. Ironically, it's about a girl and her best friend going to Australia to find a fling, only to realize a fling wasn't really what she wanted. Funny how I wrote that 3 years ago, yet I only relate to it now. I'll post more about the book in my next blogpost, in the meantime, go check it out by clicking the book cover or its caption! Bye bye for now~

happy birthday little mungbean

hello, my little cinnamon buns.

today's going to be a little different than my previous entries, mostly because i don't feel like my usual upbeat self. truth be told, i'm a sad little guava today, and it's all because it's my birthday.

here's a little side note before i start spilling out the reason why i decided to post a blogpost even when i'm suppose to be on my hiatus from the internet because of my a-levels, i'm always sad whenever it's my birthday. don't get me wrong, i do always seem like i look forward to that one day dedicated to commemorate the day i was born, but it was mostly done in hopes that maybe faking it would actually make it come true. despite my many efforts, by the end of the day, i always feel empty and just... sad.

it seems to me that whenever birthdays come, i have this ultimate pressure to see whether or not i've been a great person to my friends for the whole year and they'll appreciate me by wishing-slash-remembering-slash-giving me an unforgettable birthday, which is silly of me because it seems so superficial. the other thing about birthdays is that i'm a year older, one year less for me to fool around and still not know what to do with my future. and since it's my last year as a teen this year, it makes me even more stressed out because i'd be entering the young adult phase next year, and it's scary! not to mention the mid-terms or finals that are always around because my birthday is on May.

before you guys start calling me an ungrateful human being because there are still good friends of mine that remember this day, and family member who'd never fail to let me feel special on this very day, here me out. i am eternally grateful for these people in my life because without them, i might just fall deeper into depression. but this actually made my feelings worse because when i know i should be grateful and happy, i'm feeling empty and sad, and i'm guilty about it. now i have an extra feeling which i don't want to... feel.

anyways, back to the point. the reason why i'm writing this blog today is because i wanted to share the 19 things i've regretted throughout my life. (hint hint, i am 19 this year) in a way, this is my special little way of letting go of these things that is weighing me down in hopes that i'll wake up with a smile tomorrow. so without further a due, here's the 19 'how it could've been's in my life.


1. how it could've been you graduating from an international school instead of being stuck in your old high school for 5 years.

2. how it could've been you getting a better education with the results you obtain if only you knew how to apply those scholarships.

3. how it could've been you leaving the country and have the whole 'start life anew' scenario if only you'd be more daring,

4. how it could've been you whom teachers remember and are friends with instead of being the quiet little mouse who'd rather not be involve in things because you're scared of failure.

5. how it could've been you whom held a more important position in your association instead of being a nobody in that board for about five years.

6.how it could've been you that people would look up if only you'd had more accomplishment.

7.how it could've been you hanging around with your friends and have a closer bond if only you hadn't cut people out because of your fear of rejection.

8.how it could've been you enjoying your last teen years with your peers instead of stressing about a course that you regret taking,

9.how it could've been you having a wider social circle instead of having those handful of friends because of your social anxiety.

10.how it could've been you being an ambassador of some kind if only you don't have that low self esteem of yours.

11.how it could've been you being an entrepreneur in something you like if only you'd have more courage.

12.how it could've been you finishing your course in college without any stress instead of constantly procrastinating because you're afraid of your responsibilities.

13.how it could've been you performing in the philharmonic if only you had put more effort in your piano.

14.how it could've been you who'd be truly happy more often instead of faking it if only you know how to express it.

15.how it could've been you who have the recognition of your talents if only you had the courage to show it.

16.how it could've been you who'd the first person people would think of inviting if only you'd sound out your longing of participation.

17.how it could've been you who do not have the fear of missing out instead of finding out those little gathering on social media.

18.how it could've been you feeling more relieved if only you hadn't invest most of your time and energy in a relationship that is obviously one-way. 

19.how it could've been you not feeling hurt whenever you see him with another girl.

A Peanuts Present

Greetings, my fellow Nutt-crackers!

Here's the second blogpost that I'm transferring from my second blog. I know, two blogs in a row... Don't get used to it though, I'm not going to be posting that often thanks too the hectic life of an A Levels student. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!

Hello guys! What is up? Well, that sounds funnier in my head. Anyways, I was suppose to do another monthly favorites blog, but seeing that the only two blogs I have here are 'December and January Favorites', I thought: Maybe it's time to write something different for a change.

Before I start my blog, I'd like do ask, who doesn't like presents? I'm sure no one doesn't like presents. But when you're in a tight budget, and you and your friends (A couple of 16 year-olds, for my case) decided to exchange low-budget gifts, what comes into mind? A card? Too mainstream. A cake? Too expensive. A teddy bear? Too childish... So, when all things seems down, it's kind of in my nature to think of something silly but creative. So without further a due, let me introduce you to a very pleasant Peanut's Gift!

The Wishing Bottle

The Wishing Bottle

The Wishing Bottle is a glass bottle containing many many hand-written wishes you make for the person your giving. Although the materials needed are cheap, but the time needed to make it is indeed long. So make sure the person you're giving it to is someone really dear to you and not someone you wish to throw a stone at.

What you may need:
The Materials
                         ♠ Glass bottle                                            ♠ Pens, pencils, a ruler & a pair of scissors
♠ Some tape                                             ♠ Nice stickers
♠ Lucky stars                                            ♠ Nice ribbons
♠ Decorative papers/Color paper                                          


Step no.1



Draw some lines on the decorative paper/color paper using the ruler and some pencils, the measurements may vary according to ones liking. But for me, I'd prefer using half of the ruler because it's easier.

Step no. 2


Once you've completed, get ready to get snappy! Use the scissors you've prepared and cute them all out. You can also cut the strips into half if you think it's too long or just want to save some paper for the sake of Mother Nature.

Step no. 3


After cutting them all out, start writing your wishes! You can get a little creative with this part like, 'I wish I've got more hair than you in 20 years.'. Just remember to have fun whilst doing this step.

Step no. 4


Done writing all your funny/truthful/amazing/sincere wishes? Let's move on to the other step.Roll up all your wishes and stick them up using the cut out tapes as shown as below. Remember to fold down some of the tape so your friends can still open and tape them back once they've seen the wishes. Also, the number of wishes mostly depends on the size of your glass bottle, the bigger the bottle, the more the number of wishes. So for my case, I did 100 wishes per Wishing Bottle.

Note: Remember to fold it in a bit

Step no. 5

Write your friends name
Once you've done your wishes, it's time to decorate the bottle. Now, this is my favorite part. First, you can decorate the bottle by writing your friend's name on the cap, but remember to use your most beautiful handwriting or else it'll turn up like mine which ruined the whole thing.


More decorations
Next stop, is the body. Use the stickers you've prepared and paste them on your glass bottle. Once that is done, take the ribbons and tie a knot over the neck of the bottle. As for the bottom part, I used some really amazing tapes I found in a local bookstore. You can put more stickers if you can't find those tapes. By the way, remember not to over do the whole decorating-thing because it may be too bling-bling seeing that the papers you rolled up are colorful too.

The decorative tapes I used
And that is how you make yourself a cheap but really meaningful present! You can even make it with your kids because it is that simple, just be careful whilst handling the scissors. You can also take a look at the how the presents got wrapped before I handed it over to my friends. Hope you enjoy this rather different blog post, and I'll see you guys next time. Bye!

Surviving Christmas the Nutty Way

Okay, maybe 'surviving' is a little too strong a word. After all, Christmas is the best time of the year...




Greetings, my fellow Nutt-crackers! (See what I just did there? *wink*)


With the air-con at full blast, a scalding cup of hot tea and a scented candle burning beside my bedside, it is as cold as a winter wonderland as it can get for me to write this festive blog. So, let's begin!

It's that time of the year again where telling a strange fat old man in red your greatest wish and desire is completely normal, and giving him the right to judge whether you've been naughty or nice this whole year. Since I live in Malaysia, the school holidays I get that's equivalent to a summer vacation is mostly from November till December. I guess it's safe to say that I can officially procrastinate all day long and hide away from my responsibilities without having people to nag me about it. So let me just share with you guys what I've been doing for the past 2 months.


Christmas Gifts Making

As the old-fashioned person that I am, I strongly believe that hand-made gifts with a heartfelt message attached to it is able to show the receiver the ample amount of effort and compassion that has been put into the gift-making sessions, that they would not mistaken me as a cheapskate. Therefore, for this season of giving, I thought I would fill my time making something that would make my friends smile. Truth be told, this is actually one of my favorite past time, albeit pretty time and energy consuming. To add a little twist in it, I was aiming for a little 'ice-cream stick' themed presents, that's why all of the presents you see are made of said sticks.





Having a Matt-rathon


The Crown

Question time! How do you distract yourself from the fact that you have way too many friends to make tokens of appreciations for? Having two little series marathons which so coincidentally have this little munchkin acting in them, of course! I am not going to deny it, I do have a soft spot for Matt Smith (like who wouldn't after watching him as the Doctor?), so being someone who rarely goes out on Friday nights and would rather binge watch in the comforts of my own room than leaving the house, it is only reasonable that I have a little Matt-rathon going on. (Anyone realize that awful pun I just made? Of course you guys did... Don't worry, I'll see myself out.) By the way, I would highly recommend this two series as you get to see two very different sides of this little munchkin! 

Dr Who

Read, Read and Read

Since the start of December 2015, I have developed a habit where I would read a Christmas-themed book to help get me in the spirit of Christmas. I may be a tad bit late to the party, but this year I'm reading "Let It Snow" by John Green, Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson. But being a little bookworm, I just had to finish the book before it was even the Christmas week. So shout out to my awesome friend for lending me "Girl Online On Tour" for me to be able to spend the remaining of the holiday season reading a Zoella novella! (PS, it's not really a novella, but I just thought it would go so well with the author's name...)

My reading list featuring two cute little ceramic puppers

GAMING-MAS! 


Now, what's a Christmas without a little Christmas Gaming Video with my two all time favorite Youtubers, Dan and Phil? Before I say -or rather type- anything else, can I just say I'm extremely proud of this two Snowflakes for uploading one gaming video everyday till the 25th of December! For those 12 days leading up to Christmas, it was rather fun to share the festivity with two of my favorite people in this world, despite being through the computer screen. Needless to say, from seeing them create a family for Dil to finally completing the Undertale series, Gaming-mas was a good substitute for Vlogmas this year. 

Spending Time with Family and Friends

Last but not least, for the past two months, I've been trying to catch up with old and new friends, not to mention my family members as well. Now, this may sound a tad bit cheesy, but it is after all, the season of love. And what better way to show the people in your life that you love them than spending quality time together? That is why I decided to cut down my lurking-around-the-internet time and started reconnecting with those people whom I may have taken for granted without even realizing it.





In the end, Christmas is the season of peace, love, hope and life. I hope you guys have done something meaningful this Christmas whenever and wherever you are. Before I blow off this candle (I'm surprise how I haven't burn down my room yet, seeing how clumsy I always am), I just want to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Till next time, my little Nutt-crackers!
