Not just another Sunday

A little recap on my busy 5 months: my third time going to Waikiki organised by the school sports committee and I'll have to say that it was one of the busiest and best time I've had for a long time! Also one of the best time we get to see everyone who has been working out (or not) for this beach event. 

these 2 pretty ladies are going for exchange for the later part of the year I'm probably more alone than ever.... (i think i should wear a cap more often but many diagree.... hmmmmm)

made one of the sweetest card for the lady at her birthday surprise with a melted cake and a lovely card.

Memorable beach times. And in the later part with pies and coffee and great music.

Really enjoyed the music from this amazingly talented acoustic group: Sam willows. You gotta check them out, they even had a tour in america so they are really doing singaporeans proud. 

Got myself 2 CDs and one for a friend. 

More updates soon as I try to work my way out to create more stuffs. So much to say, but there way more to do than I can imagine. More updates soon! 

Leave a comment on what to blog more cause I have too many ideas already! :D

who is out there?

I know its been many many many months since i last blogged! so i decided to change the look of my blog, but i can't seem to solve the problem of the pop-up from my blog. can anyone help? Its has also been many months since i done any cards or scrapbook. So 2 months back, but i did manage to do quite a few completed works before I left my national services and made some cards. it took me like quite long because I used computer to make these cards so please don't judge if its not nice! (i was at work at it since 10- 4.30a.m in the morning!!!)

the cards below are for my hardworking colleagues which had photos at the back so its more like a post card and i made use of a leftover cut and painted to get that shape. and i did a 'thank you' stamp with quite a lot of writing which made my hand really painful from all that writing!

the last card here took the longest for my boss, which i had to do quite a lot of painting (which you can't see) I painted the pattern paper with diluted blue acrylic paint because it is just too bright and due to my tiredness and lack of time i decided to just ink the bottom pattern paper instead of painting it (which i bet look better if i did it with painting) the die-cut of the artillery gun also had like 3 coats of paint because i can't decided the right tone for the card. i finished it with a nice rub-on for the words.

Then for rest of the people which I didn't had the time to make cards to express my gratitude for all the help they had to make my life easier and more meaningful, i decided to hold a little steamboat celebration! 

Thanks for memories! i am ready to start a new chapter in my life so watch out for more update! (i promise will blog at least once each week!)

Expired. (things i wanted to tell for a long time)

There are like tons and tons of memories and things i want to write about but as you can see how busy i am once i get home from national service- here's just the gist of it:

1. ZOOM lenses and camera accessories

The lack of money and time obviously only allow me to dream and dream of it only and one dream is to just take tons of photos and capture memories. But more photos = more problem of organising + storing + lack of disk space + increase urgency of scrapbooking. So the camera is put on hold for this moment, so there's no 'zhnging*' of my camera! This camera lens was borrowed from my dad's friend for my passing out parade and was returned promptly to stop me from going gaga over it and getting one in the end. Meanwhile, I'll just dream and look through amazing photos. Here's one from my company mate in the army who does an amazing job at his hobby: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shutternumber2

2. Cycle expeditions

we cycled like mad trying to race at the speed of light in order to curve space-time so as to reach the bicycle shop before our rental time. Somehow or rather, we were a few minutes late that means to say we needed to pay a over-night in which i believed would have been pocketed by those bike rental personnels which almost got me in a fury, fortunately, we so called convinced them to charge us the original extra hour charge. We need to have more of these cycling expeditions as a group!

3. 29 Injections

Crazy me actually agreed to the nurse to do the food allergy not knowing that I had to test for so much food (she said it was average 18 injections only but i got more of it!) The 3 hours procedure was quite a nightmare and got me really groggy after that. I would never want to go through that again. ever. basically, I had to done the food test to determine the food that cause me to fall sick soooo many times in my army term. (specifically, I had to be injected with milk, corn, wheat, malt, soy, egg, baker's yeast, garlic, rice, pepper, apple, watermelon, check, pork, tomato, potato, onion, oyster, mushroom, clove, cumin, Cinnamon, coffee, tea, cocoa and 3 control chemicals) I had food hypersensitivity to (try saying it in 1 breath) malt, egg, baker's yeast, watermelon, pork, potato, oyster, coffee, tea, cocoa. So as S says, I have to live with rice and plain porridge and water for the rest of my life? (OK, 6 months of that-the nurse says. but that would mean ending my life..lol) Avoiding these foods is HARD, so bloody hard. you could say i did these injections for nothing. :)


3. Good Day! (with fist high up, elbows locked)

these people are really funny, enjoyed thick and thin (mostly thin?) with them. Gonna miss those who are posted to other unit! Good Luck!



5. Happy 19th birthday

Thanks for all the birthday wishes that you guys have given been more than a month ago. All presents are appreciated, including this one which i pasted in my army cupboard locker. It just reminds me of needing to get creative which i so need to work on, random doodling might just work....

GREATEST 18th EVER!!!

After rigorous planning and preparation, i finally celebrated my 18th at fish and co! It was PERFECT. The food was great, the people i want to see is there and the reminisce of past event which easily start a whole new conversation! I totally enjoyed it and I'm sure everyone did too.
This is kinda the most touching part, where i was "tricked" into reading a scrapbook journal and unknowingly, the cake came.... wow....! I didn't want them to say any weird cheers or anything but it was too late. Well, at least i didn't have to stand on the chair or something. The kinda sad part was that there wasn't a live band there, but it was fine without it than i thought it would be.
I was quite hyped i guess....kept talking about the cake, cause its really really good. (its tiramisu btw, real good) Everyone finished the cake! It was so sooo good that I eat it whole!! Okay, enough about it.
What more, i received totally amazing presents that was soooo not on my birthday list. Every single present was so thoughtful that i could not get enough of it. One of it was the scrapbook page. Now, who would make me a scrapbook layout when most of the time, I am doing it for other people? wow... they did it. Another I so have to mention is the Royce chocolates which was brought all the way from suntec! I still left 12 pieces of it, out of 20. Too good to eat!
I would like to thank the people who attended my birthday dinner.... in no particular order or what so ever, they are Sinne, Sharmaine, Gershwin, Raphael, Dean, Alvin, Sopheary, Lynn, Amelene and Angeline!

Thanks for such an AMAZING & UNFORGETTABLE 18TH!

nightmares are over or is it?

Mid-year's are really over now. And i thought i could rest are many weeks of studying. but i was so wrong. I have swimming compeition in 3 days time and i have not been swimming regularly. This would be such a tough time for me. meanwhile, i have to start packing up and pick up where i left off in scrapbooking. Not been at it for months. I think totally lost scrapbooking.
And yes, plan for my 18th birthday! gotta make things better for me.... like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

random.

The maths trail was quite interesting and challenging, not only you have to gog from campus to campus, you have to solve really diffcult maths questions, some which i had to help them. It was quite fun though, explore the different places in my future school. (i hope!) you can view the gallery here.

Going to the beach in east coast park again really helps to relieve stress from studies. Breathing sea air and cycling around the park cools you down. Just hope we could do that more with more people. Nevertheless, it was relaxing.


Food. Food. Food. I think studying, rushing for homework and all that freaking stupid CCA problems is driving me crazy and putting me to the extent of eating, eating and eating. Some of you might comment that I eat a lot (that's so very true.) but I'm eating EVEN MORE!!! Help... I just weight myself for the blood donation and it was 59 kg!!! (it's today and i'm thinking of tomorrow's food- fish and chips for me!) My stress is going up, my weight is going up. The only thing that might be going down is my emotions.

Rainy Days.

the rainy days are making feel ever so hungry and sleepy. the weather makes it feel like you're in a humid air-con room every time. Not complaining because I'm now at home during the holidays and the rain is a great incentive for me to stay home and study. study. study.

But this is bad in some ways too.... i feel so BORED and hungry! Thinking of desserts all time and there isn't any in the house!!! ARRGGHH!

Thanks to the IT fair, I bought a 2 GB phone memory card but looking at those cameras makes me so sad. I want a new camera!!! But this point of time, I'll have wait for A level to end and start working like mad!
The recent family BBQ was quite nice but short due to the RAIN. Of course, the food is very delicious.
The favourite part of the night (before the rain) was the marshmellows!
The rain got even me and my cousin drenched! Ha... finally got get wet and have some fun! Now, I can only enjoy after the block tests.... :( as they say, JC life is boring. Pin It

photos and ice-cream

No link... but they are really a good combination for a smile. Block tests is over and time for some serious studying and s.s.p..... meanwhile... i'll take some rest.

I finally managed to edit my photos to make one photo file to print! So make 4 photos into 1 for print... I did it using photoshop, which cause me a lot of time! (not a familar program i use) Well, it was worth it.
But actually, i did it for the pre-u sem album which has a 5.5 x3" size that i can't print from a normal photo printing shop. and boy... printing them at 5R (6x8") is not cheap. Also, after counting the album many time and thought there were only 16 pages, altering the photos I realised it was 18 pages! so i'll have to print 2 more. soon.

My favourite dessert, Haagen-Dazs ice-cream!!! Got my favourite flavour, tiramsu. (which is also my other favourite dessert) And I finished it within 3 days! A new record! I'm ice-cream crazy i guess! Well, my 2 $10 haagen daz voucher is on the way...woohooo!!! Pin It

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.
