Wedding album

Did I mentioned that I’m working on my wedding album? It was 6 years ago that I got married and I’ve actually patched all my photos into the magnetic album. So it is in the plan that I should get them all out and do it properly with archival products.
While I was working on it, I get to realise things that I’ve never noticed before. One of it was the look of my dad’s eyes when he walked me down the aisle, they look happy at first but till the point where he had to hand me over to my hubby that they start to change to sad eyes.. maybe more to worried eyes.. so I guess that could be the hardest thing that my dad need to do at that time, and now I’ve journal them into the LO.
There are other things that I noticed as well, one obvious one is that I’ve been smiling all through the ceremony for reason that I can’t remember now. Maybe just because it was my big day, and I’m really getting married.
There are so many photos taken during the wedding ceremony starting from my make-up being done at home till the simple reception done in church, and I haven’t even started to do the part where we had our wedding reception. It seems that we were the first couple who did our emceeing ourselves! We even have an entry that we sang a duet! It was a fun night actually and we had enjoyed it, not sure about the guest though.

Here is one of the simple LO that I’ve done by using My Mind’s eye paper and prima flowers layered in green and white, then secured by brads from making memories and zot instead of punching holes, so that I can use the reverse side of the paper. I doodle the swirl on the right side of the page by using the swirl template from Hot off the press. and the Chinese words embellishment is actually a cut out from magazine which I’m suppose to photocopy but instead of doing that, what I did was just to ink it and adhere it on acid free paper.
These were during the wedding ceremony where we had our prais and worship before the sermon. I’m glad that these photos show that we are really looking and feeling the same as a couple.

Yupe! I’m taller than my hubby ..*big grin*

Down with a cold

Haven’t been feeling in my tip top condition these few days, has been bug by the flu, runny nose, heavy head, hot eyes, what else you got there for a cold. Not so bad as I can still go to work and still functioning at work. Just that this heavy head hasn’t been giving me much umph in doing things, not scrapbooking definitely. Still.. I managed to put in the journaling for my LO on my 2nd DS and one of my wedding pages. I’ve checked out the Font Garden and found Jasmine, love it and tried to mimic it in my layout. It is for sale actually.. but still I want to try it out by my own hand-writing first. When the need is there, I might just pay it with my paypal and start using it more in my journaling.
As for now, let me concentrate to have happy thoughts and yes, Thank God for healing me. *wink*

Gathering of friends

Just went to have a gathering over lunch with some classmates of mine in high school. After years of loosing track and changes over status, we have got lots to catch up with. Interesting to learn that their characters are still the same but wiser through the lesson learn from the University of the Society. It is always fun to have this sort of gathering especially with one classmate who used to be famous for his wittyness in school and doesn’t take things seriously, but now he is having a good life. Having to say that, we all are concern if he is still single, and seems that he is still finding the right person. I’m sure once he found the other half, he could be a very dedicated husband and father. Wish him all the best!
Another classmate who came back all the way from the US has brought me a gift which has given me days ago, a scrapbook album!! Isn’t it great? I mean I’m in need of album now and am having problem in obtaining them and yet she is so thoughtfull to hand carry it all the way back from Seattle! Really appreciate it Sze..
PhotobucketA K & Co. strip album for boys. But I don’t care and I’ve started using it by putting my wedding photos. well for the mean time that’s it. Maybe will change it later.

Happy Chap Goh Mei

Today is the last day of celebrating the Chinese New Year, the 15th lunar day, or what we call 年十五 (Nian Shi Wu). We’ll have another sort of closing celebration with food again.. yupe.. we like to eat. As the Chinese says 人民以吃為天, my direct translation is “Food is the people’s most important thing”.. in a not so exact term.
So tonight we are going to have a gathering with all the family members and have a feast! Yay!!
Orait.. Happy Chap Goh Mei!

1st Flight

This gonna be a short blog.
Below are a 2-page-LO done over one of the weekend, using mostly blue color scheme embellishment and paper.
My first DS being on the first time ever on the plan. He is a bundle of joy on the plane, no crying, no tantrum and he makes my trip a fun one. No complain about hurtful ear too.
He himself as an explorer with all the new things that he sees. Over then, he is not afraid of stranger which freak me out ‘cos I was worried about his safety. To others he is a joyful little boy then..

Happy scrapping!

Play LO

This was done during busy time of the day when my kids are out playing with their cousins in my mom’s place. So I hide myself in the scraproom and finished this LO by running in and out of the room just to make sure that they didn’t get into a big fight with other small kids. Well.. I’m lucky to have my sisters around to look after them.

PhotobucketJornaling: Hard to see this scene 10 years down the road. Simple play in grandma’s home with sand and water, just add imagination.
The round embellishment are actually cut out from American Craft pattern paper, fastern by star brads. The border are from the boy theme kit of Hot off the press.

Hollywood Hotel


This is the place that we stayed during our trip to Hong Kong Disneyland last Christmas. It was a fine fun place with Disney theme everywhere. From shower gel to towels, to the waiting chair outside. It was a fun idea and it keep us look out for Mickey shape everywhere we go. I’ve lots of photos taken in that hotel itself. Just wanna share one as for now. I love this picture cos it capture the real scenario, no posing, just us.
Cal was walking towards the white model car and soon he was on top of it. The field is just nice for a walk. Love it. Wanna scrap this too.. maybe with a title places that we’d stayed before…

Our tradition every year

I know all of use Chinese have a special bath every New Year Eve, the one with herbs which believe to wade off all the bad luck and welcoming in the new year with good fortune. It is the same here and we did it the traditional way, we used a big wok since we have a lot of people (around 20 including kids) in my mom’s house. It was a fun experience for the kids for them to see this kind of setting.
Here is a photo to show how it actually looks like
Photobucket My dad and Cal.

Photobucket This is how it looks like inside with all the necessary herbs.

Well.. good luck or not, we should always think positively and welcoming in the year of Rat happily. Bet you want to try you luck, check this out: online casino that is giving out 1st hour free play. It is giving out review on a lot of sites that giving out special offer too. online casino is actually a big online business, estimated US$16billion last year. It also claims that online casinos are highly regulated by governments in certain countries, which make it extremely safe for players to gamble with honest and trustworthy casinos. So those that under review, such as the Las Vegas online casino are actually providing transparent services, but do make sure you’ve read their rules and regulation and know your limit. Wish you all the luck!

Aunt Li Szu

We all had friends in our lifes, friends who can read our mind, friends who stay close no matter what, friends who last a life time. I’m glad that I have such friends in my life. Eventhough we have been leaving in different countries, eventhough we only see once in a year or even longer than that. One of them is Li Szu, who were my highschool classmate. We still keep intouch, still wirte emails to each other once in awhile. And the good news is, she is coming back this week! I don’t have many photos of her, but one that I’ve and I treat it dearly is one that taken years back with my DS. I’ve thought about that photo and have scrap it together using the same layout for my Grandpa. Again, these layouts are from Susan Cobb in Hot off the Press. Thanks Susan.

Here is for Li Szu:

The hat is from Aunt Li Szu who came back for visit. It fit you nicely and has been into the collection and passed on to Mervin.
Aunt Li Szu is a classmate of mommy in Tshung Tsin Secondary School, a dear friend even until these days.
