i had never liked animals, never.

but I always thought that having pets will be good for a child's growth;

you know, help them to get in touch with their emotions, and don't grow up to be a cold-hearted person nor a distant person, like me.

so I've been telling myself that when I have kids, I'll have a dog at home.

and I also hope that my husband will be one who like or love animals. haha

(and yesterday when I told my friend about this, she was like: "what? is it because of 'Marley & Me'?" haha I've not even watched the movie yet.)

I'll learn not to be scared of animals anymore, cos up until now, I figured that i sort of like animals and sometimes I think they're cute,

however, once they GET MOVIN' towards me or just show signs of life, I immediately build a wall around me, one that will make sure they won't go anywhere near myself. (or I'll run, or I'll hide, or I'll go someplace higher, or ask someone to shoo the 'dangerous moving object' away.

yup anyways, I will learn to love animals, and some of them are really adorable.

Take a look at these photos:

(do you know? otters hold hands when they sleep, so they won't float away from each other)

mandarin ducks, just look at those colours!

a lizard is actually a beautiful creature, I especially like the shape of its feet

gorgeous octopus

innocent piggies

hey beautiful creatures, I'll learn to love you someday!

MASQUERADE!

hello there! this weekend i'm going to an event called Masquerade; it's a dinner party cum performances where the audience is supposed to wear a mask as a dress code. We were each given a plain black mask as our entry ticket and we can decorate the mask according to our own liking, and those who come with the best masks will win attractive prizes. I decided then, since I'll be wasting my time there (I'm just being frank here, haha, cos actually I don't really want to go to this party, just want to support my friend who's organising the party), I might as well don't waste my chance of winning something nie, right? :) So, this morning I was awoke at about 4.20 a.m. and I decided to do something useful. Since studying isn't the most attractive thing to do early in a Saturday morning, I then came to realise that I have not spiced up my mask for tonight's party at all!! Hence, I quickly turned on my creative muscles and was enthusiastic to embark on the intriguing project.

First, it involved gathering of beautifying materials around me, those whose existence I can still remember.haha and so i have a collection of:

white faux fur (from my friend's surprise birthday property), purple fake crystals (which I thought can bring me some good luck), UHU glue, a roll of silver ribbon (from last year's play that I joined), pink alphabetical velvet stickers (which I bought from this cool scrapbooking shop), silver and purple glitter glue, toothpaste box, correction liquid and other stuff that turned out to be NOT useful in the end.

Next step is to find some inspirations, and here are some of them:
