christmas cards!

okay... something funny that amelene made while studying! i was really laughing like crazy!!! never laughed so hard since yi wei made jokes! LOL!

A really late time posting this, but it's always never too late to send a card! here's one of my favorite cards! here's one to amelene.

This special card has the quote on the outside.

"around this time of year, thoughts of people I've laughed with makes me smile all over again."

here's one I've just made for gersh! pretty cool card with GOLD inking which is my newest stamp pad collection! NICE!
and I used a template from the meiji's meltykiss which comes with 3 different flavours...milk, green tea and some dunno what. LOl. Maybe stopping scrapping and starting on studies. but after sharmaine's chalet! :)

All the sugar is at the bottom of the cup.

Did this card in a hurry (1st Christmas card this year!) and is already on its way to the recipient's place in no time! Not telling who, i know the person wouldn't read my blog so I'm safe posting this photo!
Woke up early and cut my freaking long hair. And had my Breakfast this morning... loads of yellow sugar and coconut!

Finally my first mini album completed and the time is very close to the end of holidays. sigh, life sucks. Never mind, at least i did managed to finish one album! Proud of it too! :)

Amel and I was studing at my house and I sent her later to the bus stop. Then, a werid plump Chinese in his 40s kept looking at amelene for a while and then started asking her questions.

man: you secondary what next year?

You JC or ploy then? Poly? Poly?

Art or science?

what subject combinations?

He asked all the questions in a LOUD, unfriendly and werid sort of way in which freaked both of us. We left quickly to the supermarket and away from this man. You can read her account over here. Mind you, I've experienced once in the train when a normal (but crazy) guy came and talk to me, asking to check my bag for his friends leg and refusing to let go! A result of too much sugar in the cup? I don't think so.

My life is like a BORING movie.

On tuesday, we had our second class BBQ! YEAH! Got really tired after the cycle and walking up and down from my house to the pit. The food was really great (good job shar and amelene! Nice beef and fish. And thanks mum!) but sadly there isn't enough food due to some of the hungry uninvited guest.

The bbq pit was set up quite late as they had forgotten to buy the bbq net!!! But they set up the pit really quickly! Thanks to the BB boys for your hard work!
so we managed to have some really good food! and the eating and talking was great! Had a good time talking (criticizing) about leng heng fats! LOL! a usual habit of mine while in secondary school!!
They girls were talking about the pasts and gossiping i suppose . :) Loads to talk and laugh about with them. But amelene didn't serve me chicken wing and food! U owe me! :(
Good times. They have change alot since last year. But i realised nothing changed about me. I am one boring person in a boring movie. Nothing interesting about. Pin It

Perspective.

Okay. Amelene! I'm not lazy... I blogged again okay! Lol.

Thursday morning was great, woke up on time. Thanks to my efficient alarm clock(amelene)! Lol.

We cycled to Macritche reservoir park to have some breadfast. But sadly, we have no toast to go along with our eggs. Ben took one that was cooked perfectly and me and amel had eggs that are like almost RAW! arrgghh! not trusting ben with the time again! (we had a little stomache 'egg' later. LOL.)
Later on, we took soem photos up at a top hill. with amazing views and sight and we linger there for quite a while. And then we start our clicking our cameras.

me and amel tried on different.....

per·spec·tive /pərˈspɛktɪv/

1. a picture employing this technique, esp. one in which it is prominent: an architect's perspective of a house.

2. of or pertaining to the art of perspective, or represented according to its laws

3. the state of one's ideas, the facts known to one, etc., in having a meaningful interrelationship: You have to live here a few years to see local conditions in perspective.

(photo taken by me)

the difference in one's view from the distance makes this photo different from the other.


one is to look at both the photo and the scenery and the other is to focus on the person looking at it.


But I would be glad to say that amelene's photography skills are really good! haha... this shows that the camera or the pixels it haa does not matter, its the person perspective of the object. and this comes with... practise. hear that, Jeff!





Here's another one we took at the bridge by ghafar. I tried by using self timer and then running there (it was quite far) but it didn't work! so we need some help.
the we went to lower pirece reservoir to take some pictures and we sat in the sun for sometime. (which I later become ruldoph the red nose) The view was great. we went ahead to upper pirece despite amelene's constant protest! LOL. And that was be the last time i cycled to so many places at once! ahhhhh!

After lingering there for a while, when gwee and amel where complaining abt my forgetfulness and leaving my camera at the edge. (yes. i admit it.) I took the camera but I missed it and saw it rolling to the water.

I was doomed! The camera was soaked! We had to dry it with our clothes! It didn't work, the screen went pinkish and the viewfinder went blueish! Its a nightmare! I left it in my bag and off we went to upper priece. The slopes made me too tired to even think of the camera.

Here's one we took at upper pirece... regretful that my camera wasn't working at that time. And great news, my camera is alive and well. everything functional!



I was left to use my camera and surpisingly... the photos are really clear and good! And my phone camera is 3.2 megapixel... same as my good old camera. SEE!!! camera doesn't matter...its the person taking it, jeff!!!



regretfully, we didn't take more as i thought the photo wouldn't go well with my phone camera. I was wrong. Now, no doubt about the powers of my nokia 6500 silde!



Here's one amelene took of me climbing trees, it wasn't easy climb them as they were dry and shredding their bark. Miss doing that when we families use to play rounders there!
The perspective is defintely different up there. :) Pin It

Unique.

For the past few weeks, I was busy buying all the materials from different places and printing photos and also, think of the ways to make them. Of course, making for 12 people wasn't as easy as i thought it would though I have done one and help two person complete them too. But 12 wasn't easy. With two whole days of the work (sticking, pasting, stamping, inking), we actually did most of it and it went quite well.

Great thanks to jeff, ken, gilbert, and ghafar for not letting me do this by myself. (would be possible to finish before 2009..lol)

Gilbert wanted everything to unique which almost cause my death! Many was half done and had to be completed and made different in some ways.









In every book however, was a same quote.

“When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my friends are my energy” –unknown

Thanks for the energy, friends.










of course, gilbert made one for someone too. :)


The table was a mess, but it was worth it.
also, seniors, we hope you appreciate the album we gave you. Of course it was very very unique.
And talking about unique...

After finishing the book eldest, I have read a part which i would like to share with you. Eragon was told to bring a present that is not made with magic and was very much troubled by it. (like many of us giving presents to others.)

But you possess one quailty that no one else does, said Saphira.

Oh?

Your identity. Your history, deeds and situation. use those to shape your creation and you will create soemthing unique. whatever you make, base it upon that which is most important to you. only then will it have dept and meaning. and only then will it reasonate with others.

And that is Unique. And that is ART.

For what i will blog some time later of what happened TODAY. Look at amelene's blog! Pin It

The Story So Far

Here's the stroy so far. Its the first week of the hoildays and i have loads and loads to do and finish up. My table is in a huge mess with both scrap stuffs and aschool work (though i haven't been doing any YET. Now, I have to pack up my stuffs up and find files for my other subject... *sigh* this table has been messed up for months.
Trying to boost up my scrapping energy but I have only done up the outer cover of two books! I need more time to finish up these 2 books and do layout. Just can't bring the work up. took one whole day to do that small little book you see on the left. Now, I need to complete stuffs! Everything is half done!
Oh yes, thanks to sharmaine for bring the very very important book that i wanted to read ever since i finished reading eragon. Now, I just have to finish this. Loads to finish. Gotta end the story and wait for the 3rd book!

If you can.

I was trying to finish up the altered letter 'T" that was left in the shelves many many many months ago. And now, getting back to it, i realised... i forgot what the quote i put on the altered letter is. i searched hight and low, looking in places if i have place a note on the quote or on my computer if i made a digital document. But I couldn't find it. you'll notice the parts quotes are there, but actually this is what been left of it.

"If you can __ it, you can __ it. If you can __ it, you can __ it."

After many fruitless search this afternoon, i JUST found it instead in the internet by a very trustable site. Here's the FULL quote!

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.”
-willam arthur ward

I don't remember how i exactly got this quote or who this person is, but this quote is defintely inspired me. Now back to finishing the quote!
