I’m so happy with what I’ve done using left over pages from paperwishes personal shopper kit, I used them to matt my photos and this pattern paper is suppose to be the matt in another page disign shown in their monthly kit. I’ve used making memories brads that my friend bought for me from Target. I’ve used the paperwishes pastel monogram alphabets for the title, layout altered from scrapbook.etc, tag from collected memories, anywhere puncher from making memories to make a hole on the tag, craft sticks and pen. And also with a bit of doodling on the alphabet to make them stand out.
I was just too excited in getting all my new things last nite that I burnt my mid-nite oil in doing the page, ‘cos I’ll have to wait till the boys are sleeping then can only starts to have fun on scrapbooking.
more materials for scrapbooking
Yay! I’ve got all those stuff that I’ve ordered previously from collected memories and only today that I get to see and hold them in my hands. Yupe, they are all here, thanks to my friend who just came back from Kansas, US. A treat from me is a definite thing, I’m so gladful for that. For all the trouble in carrying them through several check-in counters and miles of walking to the right terminals.
It’s gonna be fun for me over the weekend, oh.. maybe I’ll start using them tonight.
scrapbook page
I’ve recently started doing my scrapbooking pages about my Europe trip during my first year of study in UK. Ya.. it has been more than 10 years ago, now then when I look back into my magnetic album and found those photos badly treated, I straight away started my project with the papers that are available through the personal shopper kit that I’m subscribing to.
I didn’t put dates and names to the photos, thus it was a drag for me to find out the right dates that I’ve been traveling and also the right names for the right places. It is also through this that I found out more than what I know before on certain places. It even occured to me that I’ve been to Brussels in Belgium without realising it.. goodness! I also learn more by doing some search in the net about those places that I’ve been to. Fortunately I’ve been sending postcard to my sister during that trip, they help me to track down the time and the tour sequence.
Below are two pages that I’ve done yesterday right after work. 
I didn’t use much embelishment on these pages and the red checks brads seems bulgy to me. I hope they won’t dent the other photo pages.
I’ve also hide a photo inside the wine label on my 2nd page. Basically that photo doesn’t have much to show, only the wine stand in the factory, thus I prefer to hide it away. The jornalling is something that I felt at that time, which I prefer not to be viewed by all.
I’ve also posted these up in scrapbook.com
I’ve another great news for myself, a friend is back from the US, bringing all my stuff that I’ve ordered online and got sent to him, he got me extra things too, just can’t wait to see them. Another great news is, my order from Brunei also got respond and am getting them next week, yay!! So many good news.
Gift
Got my gift, got my gift! Wanna take a look?
It is a very unique gift indeed, first time I ever see this thing and the materials that it is made from, I’m not sure what is it, but sure unique. Can anyone tell me what material is it made from? It looks like wood..
festive season
yay! we have got our Christmas tree up in the office, wanna take a peek?
Those presents underneath it are for real, those are our gifts for the git exchange. This is our tradition, every year we draw a name from our section, then buy one gift that cost at least RM15 for the one person that we have drawn.
We’ll have a feast before that and then the fun part is try to figure out who the gift is from.
Merry Christmas!
Prank call
Just now I got a call from this number: 0162107521, saying that she called from a company in KL, I can’t hear her cleary ‘cos it was noisy, I can hear car noices behind her. She talked in Malay, saying that I’ve been chosen to enjoy this exclusive card for visa/master card member with priviledge.. blah blah blah.. then she asked do I still have card that is active now, and what card is it, either visa or master, so I asked “Does it matter?” twice and she sort of can’t understand me and said “oh, ok la.. kalau kamu tak nak bagi tau.” then she hangs up.
This is a 2nd call from the same number, first time was a missed call. So folks, becareful on this number, I think it is those scam to get your credit card detail.
Remember this number: 0162107521
I wonder if I can report it to DIGI.
8 random fact about Hannie
Have been tag last week when I have no access to my own blog page.. so folks, sorry for the delay.
I’ve been tagged by Aunty J. So, here goes:
- The Rules:
- Link to your tagger and post these rules.
- List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
- Tag eight people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
- Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs
My 8 random facts:
- Let me see.. firstly I’m tall ( 5’6″ )for a normal chinese girl, used to be shorty and sit infront of the class till I was going into form 3. On the school opening, I’ve been transfered to the back and get to sit with more silly students, as you know la.. those who are nakal-nakal always get kick to the back ma..
- I used to hates skirts and make-up. I even cried on my first make-up done on my primary graduation day just because we need to perform a dance. Now it is not totally opposite, but make-up are fine and skirt, ya.. they are beautiful.
- I’m not totally Chinese, this will surprise lots of people, I’ve actually black blood from Panama. Yupe, my ancestor has went over to Panama during the building of the canal to do bread business, get to married a local black lady. That’s why I don’t have a very chinese tone and mata sepet.
- I’ve natural wavy hair, used to hate it ‘cos it get so big and fluffy.. now with rebonding and also lots of style in curling.. it doesn’t get on my way anymore.
- I love chocolates, give me a good pack of it and I can finished it within an hour.
- I love to bake and have tried several recipe but too lazy to do that, so I actually love watching cooking programs.
- I’m the youngest in the family, so maybe I am really the most rebelious one. :p
- I love arts, I love drawing and had been thinking to be an artist before being told off by my family and ended up being a librarian.
So that’s 8 random facts about me.
I’ll do like Aunty J did, but even less..I’m gonna break the rules ‘cos instead of tagging 8 people, I’m just gonna tag 4, well.. I don’t blog that frequent and some below might not even know that I’ve been reading their blogs :D. well.. a good way to know you better. So folks, you’re tagged:
Haven’t been blogging
Welcome home to myself, ya.. have been away for a week without access to my blog page and without my scrapbooking things. They have probably block blogspot in ShenZhen.
Time over there is solely family time with my two boys and hubby, other than the daily routine of doing bits of house chaos and cooking, that is argueing over who should use the notebook to get online. Yes, I’m arguing with Calvin, he knows how to get into pbskids.org to play games! Well, at least he is not fighting with the little brother and the site is a good one, so I just let him la.. it also means whenever I got the notebook out, he will ask for games!
On the 2nd night there, we went to Wal-Mart and got them some blocks to play play with.. just to occupy some of their time, when they are too free, they play rough.
The blocks only occupied some of Calvin’s time and pretty soon he got bored with it, I suppose running around and fighting with the brother is more interesting to him. So here are some works done by Calvin.
Other than that, both of them enjoyed watching Sesame Streets which is on everyday at 4pm, that is right after their nap time, that is also one of the attraction in getting them to sleep so that they can wake up for the show. Mervin know Elmo, the little red monster that has a pet fish call Dorethy.
That is another hour occupying them in front of the TV while I can do some of my preparation for dinner.
Kind of missed the time over there too, except the fighting part.
Forgiveness
Now then I know how bad I felt after I’ve said something bad to other people, it felt so bad inside.. which I knew I shouldn’t have said that on the first place and yet I still did. So after that, what made it worst is I can’t reach the person for several hours. During that several hours, I don’t feel like doing anything, seems that it is worthless for me to do other things, and I kept on ringing… my heart wasn’t in peace with myself. I told myself I must get forgiveness, I must said sorry, I must let that person know I shouldn’t have said that.
During that few hours many things came into my mind, lots of “what if”. What if he/she doesn’t forgive me, what if he/she already decided there on that they are going to do something bad for themselves.. what if they would never talk to me.. what if..
At last, I got to talk to that one person and how great it felt to know that he/she wasn’t angry with me and that the sky is clear again..
Long time..
I know.. it has been quite some times that I haven’t been updating my blog.. been so into my scrapbooking that I’ve totally forgotten about blogging. After I’ve received the scrapbooking kit from and online store, I’ve been burning mid-nite oil to do those pages that shown on the kit’s bulletin and I love it very much till I show almost everyone who came home, not many actually, but they are my brother who came back recently, my neaces, my sisters and my mom. Mom called it “kut tiu lao si” in hakka, it means my non-sense things, but after seeing my work she suggested me to scrap the family photo as well. My eldest sister even suggested me to open a small shop teaching people doing scrapbooking and also selling the materials, talk about teaching, I myself would like someone to teach me the proper way in doing scrapbooking.
Another sister of mine said “so, eventually they’ll all become scrap huh?” well.. that is the one sister that haven’t seen my work yet or she is just being jealous..hehe..
