trying my best...

Round 2.. with better pics !


I am really bad at this uploading and scanning thing! I can only scan an a4 size image and this is prob the best I can do.. I think it's pretty bad! i just hope that you can all see it clearly.. I took almost the whole evening finally connecting the scanner to the computer and realising that it can only scan an a4 size image! Argghh.. I think taking a photo is so much better! I want my camera now... however lousy the pictures turn out! at least I get the full LO!!! I think i really do injustice to the LOs! especially my grandparents one! I promise once I get my camera I will take better pic and upload it and delete these awful pictures... if anyone out there can tell me how i can scan the pictures better please let me know! Thanx!




Title: Ah-ye , Ah-ma.. birthday celebrations...


you can see the tag that has the pic of my cake! hehe...

and there was a picture of me when recently taken during my birthday.. I had to name it { 1 year wiser } because I don't want to offend the wonderful friends I have who are slightly older than me! hehe.. anyway I've got a secret tag with the pic of my birthday cake.


This is a pic of the wonderful gal that always does pretty nail art for me... it's just amazing how she uses a tiny paint brush and acrylic paint and beautiful pictures of flowers and butterflies are on my nails! thanx so much pauline!



Title: po2 (po-po) read in cantonese... the only LO that turned out good after scanning!

TFL (at horrible looking LOs!) so sorry.. my thousand apologises! :(

And...

Had a crop today at SR... and I say this road name with much fondness! it's a haven in it's own way! wahaha... I think I mentioned this before, crops are always good! and today's crop really keep me going even when I reached home. Thanx L for the 'be good' stamp! hehe... such a perfect word for me.. I'm always told that I must be good! kekeke...

Tata.. nitez everyone!

{ thoughts }

I like how I look... pondering and wondering about something... but ...

to be honest I think my mind was blank when cousin J took this snap shot of me! In retrospect, I slouch alot... and I had a horrible posture! hehe...

Have a great weekend everyone!

TFL!

why I communicate...

.... because I want to rant and rave! Usually it's the former... According to an SLT workshop I attended yesterday, we communicate to satisfy our social needs - share feelings, ideas, and experiences.. and indeed I want to share an experience I had this morning on my way to work...

There's this uncle, really an uncle, who attempts to be hip :D I do not fault him on that, but he wears Tee-shirts way too tight for him! OMG.. his tummy was wrapped in his bright orange tee! Very cute I must admit.. anyway to continue witht he description of this cute uncle.. I guess his age's around late 30s or early 40s.. he had more earrings than I have! He carries the kind of bag that has the hard cover. Well, today he has his headphones on as he boarded the bus. The moment he got onto the bus one could hear his music blarring away! I had the 'fortune' to stand next to him.. but as I was listening to my Ipod of jazz, Black-eye Peas, Korean theme songs... I could even hear the music 'coming' out of his headset!! That was not the frightening part.. that his music was played so loudly, but it was his selection of music.. OMG he was listening Retro (still????) and I thought i heard "mmmbop" by the Hanson brothers! OMG that was when I was in sec sch okie? and I no longer listen to these boy band kinds of music!!! oh gosh!! I was so glad he got off the bus! I really pity the next lady whom he chose to sit beside!!! She was this prim and proper lady with no hair out of place kind, reading a nice little book on the way to work! I hope she has a better day at work!

I have to admit now that my job requires me to travel so much... my observations of life is seriously a eye-opening (somethings popping) experience!

Okie, so this post is an rant... soon I'll have raves of all the lovely DIY pressie my frens have made for me.. and of their own little projects!

Woohoo.. TGIF.. going to print pics today, have some LOs in mind! Can't wait to get started on them!!

{ Instructions }

Mom has loads of fabric. She loves to sew and has this old Singer sewing machine in my room, you know the kind with a paddle. Sadly I have bad co-ordination and I can't use the machine! I wanna sew! Please someone out there lend me yours! Hehe... Mom will just complain and say 'It's so easy to use my sewing machine, why can't you use it???"

Well, I remembered when I was young, she would bring me to Holland V to buy fabric from this shop. Interestingly, the shop sold fabric with ready cut out of templates of dresses for little girls with matching dolls, together with instructions! Digging through her plastic bag of cloth yesterday was a time of memerising of the old times!

I found this fabric that still had the instructions of making a dress! Mom was half way done with the dress and only the top was made! Anyway, I found it and I thought I'll make a fabric flower with it! Really like how it turned out! :D

Did some stitching to make the petals look lifelike!


tfl!

More flowers to be made this sun! Can't wait.. I've got more fabric waiting!!

To sir with love

Did this LO for my mom's ex-boss. His birthday was yesterday.

Mom calls him SIR for the longest time. He has seen my brothers and I grow up and he's such a divine man! Every new year, we will be at his house on the mornings of the 2nd day without fail, sipping on his great collection of wines and my brothers will be eating his famous roasted beef!

Really like how I managed to blend in the JBS stalk with the flowers! Hehe... this 'ku-ku' very clever! hehe.. Just love the new 7G pps and stickers! Can't wait to do more :D

TFL!

slow and steady

Started at 9pm today and finally ended at 11pm! Wow! 2 hours for this LO to be done!

Title: What makes me Happy

The journalling's bit small so here it is:

1. Flowers! of any kind
2. Yummy cake in pretty colours
3. Good old comfort food: ice cream (Ben n Jerry's in this case!)
4. Bag and more Bags
5. Shoes of rainbow colours (think I meant many shoes all in different hues!)

Since there are 5 pictures, I tried to the kind of LO that was centralised! Thought too many embellishing was too distracting so it took me a long time to decide what to put and where to put! Hence the 2 hours! :P oh.. of course it does not help if you are scrapping in front of the TV!

Just love the fontwerks pp, chandelier pattern n the journalling cards! :D

TFL!!

Day of many events!

15 days of CNY is offically over. No more collecting of angbaos allowed! No more Yu Sheng to toss! Yet there's still lots of CNY goodies left at my place to nibble on!

Anyway, I'm not sure if many people know this but the 15th day of CNY is also known as Chinese Valentine's Day! So double event / meaning! It also concides with my B toDAY! Hehe :D It has happened before a few years back when the last day of CNY happens to be Bday too! Thanx for all the well-wishes from my beloved family & friends, great flowers, food and lovely presents from friends - I love them all!

Well, how can i resist a cake right? This one's from Canele and it's rich dark chocolate! YUM! :D There's extra so anyone who would like to try give me a ting-a-ling soon before they're all gone! more events happened to my family... which means opening of new chapters in life! A good year ahead perhaps?

Transformer!

GG 5 is having a sale! While I like their clothes a fair bit, I think it's too pricey and sale times are always great! Who complains when it's saleS?? well, only about the long queues to try the clothes and to pay! Anyway, this time round, I did not get any clothes but I bought a nice black bag that I thought is good to use for work! Had a hard time contemplating whether to get it or not as my job requires me to carry case files wherever I go a major pre-requisite for my bags currently is that they must be able to carry files! hehe.. I think this did the job (luckily I had my files with me so I tried it on! Somehow I am very bad at judging whether the bags are big enough for files!)
Anyway, I thought it was too plain and I decided to jazz it up a bit with a old string of pearls and the fabric flower that I did recently! hehe.. Think it doesn't look so boring anymore! Best part, I can change the pearls or flowers anytime I want! :D so happy!
Good nite everyone!

{ All the SSSSS }

Look what I did with Sassafrass Lass pp! It's so pretty! Decided that I should do a little birthday card for my cute adorable niece who praises this "ku-ku" of hers to be clever! :D Happy birthday Pumpkins! Hehe how i wish you came out of your mummy's tummy 1 day earlier so we can celebrate our birthdays on the same day!


Thanx to the great TwiNS who so willingly took pictures with me! :D I promised to scrap with a lovely pic of them! Love their Tees and how 90% of the LO is Sassafrass Lass Blue Boutique collection. just love the owl and the flowers! Love the cardstock as well! hehe.. finally get to use my white flower rubons! So happy!

1st thing on my mind!

The moment I woke up this morning at 7.30am (!!!) , the word "SCRAP" was on my mind! Probably very excited to use some of the new goodies I bought from yesterday's TVC CNY OH! So before I headed out to do some more CNY visiting! This is what I did :D Quite pleased with the results, especially when I found it quite difficult to use the SR pps (although I love it to bits!)
Have a great week ahead! 7 more days left to celebrate CNY!

Wait no more!

Okie i took a picture so all have to pardon the bad lighting.. I thought it was best not to let anyone wait too long! I myself am quite proud of it.. I think the bad lighting just do not do justice to the great photographs of G!

Cousin J said she liked these AC pp from the a la crate series so I thought I should use it. :D
Hope you like it, cousin J!

TFL!

big THANX

A big thanx to Cousin J for this wonderful LO. She took the 5 minus 1 family portrait of my family. Think will have to superimpose my younger bro's pic somewhere! He was sadly missed at all the family CNY gatherings!

Mom absolutely adores this LO.. she went around to unsuspecting aunts and cousins being the BIGGEST salesperson for cousin J's lesson! Saying how much she loves this LO (she never says that about mine!) and if you want to create such a beautiful masterpiece, can go to Cousin J as she conducts lessons! wahaha... i have an adorable Mom!

Made an LO for Cousin V, J & little G as gratitude. Haven't taken the picture yet. I've gotta wait till tomorrow morning till I get better lighting! Patience is a virtue!

{ Scrapping High }

I Wish everyone GONG Xi FA CAI!!! Time really flies, it's the year of the pig already! Soaked up the CNY atmosphere yesterday at Chinatown after midnight! I was really lucky but then I always have good carpark karma as I can always get a parking lot at the most difficult place! *fingers crossed* It was just mom and myself who went down to Chinatown, the two other males at home were sound asleep already! Came home with loads of things! Stalls clearing bottles of loveletters, cookies, melon seeds and decorations! Usual haunt is at Hong Lim Community Club (where the Speaker's Corner is).. where a floral nursery will bring all their unsold plants there to sell at bargain prices. Mom and I came home with 2 pots of orange flowers and the 'kum' plant! all for the price of $26!!! Can you beat that? So happy...

Reunion dinner was great! This time, my family ordered this 1 dish thingy with all the delicacies that cost us $200 but it was all worth it! For the 1st time in many years, we had an early dinner and I even managed to scrap in between after dinner and before going to Chinatown!! I am so happy!


Look what I did today! After the usual rounds to New House and to Fort Road, my family came home to rest.... while the rest were sound asleep, i created :

in the theme of an LO a year! so far I've done 3 of a "LO a year" - 2005, 2006 and 2007! Search for more photos begin again!

Felt Flower 1, originally uploaded by fiona woo.

Here's to all the people around me... A beautiful (!) handmade flower in the spirit of the Lunar New Year! (thanx cousin J for the inspiration)
I wish every one good luck, good health and may the year of the pig be a prosperous one. For everyone to have 'smooth' journeys in everything that you emback on.

To my beloved younger bro who is far far away... I promise I will help you to collect angbaos too! We miss you alot esp now that it's the year of the Pig and this is the 1st time that 1 of us in the family is not here for CNY... Take care and love you lots!

To those who are single .. collect lots of angbaos!
To those who are married.. be generous! (hehe)

Sorry! Had to post this early as I foresee that I will not have time tmr (eve) or on the 1st few days. Chinese New Year for my family comes with ritual and routine of who's who to visit and bai nian to. On the eve's midnight will be the usual rounds to Chinatown to pick up whatever bargains that we can get and to soak up the atmosphere! 1st day and 2nd day will be the usual fanfare of grandparents, relative and close friends! Hopefully I will get to scrap on the 3rd day! :)

15 days will go by so fast! Days filled with Yu Sheng and cookies, pineapple tarts and bak kwa.. and finally at the end of the 15 days will be Chinese Valentine's Day which will coincidentally be MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! Enjoy the festivities!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Precious Love

Precious Love, originally uploaded by fiona woo.

Wishing all love birds out there a happy valentines day!

To my younger bro n his gf who are separated by sea n a 18 hr plane ride!

To my elder bro and his gf...

and to all those whom i love so dearly around me...
Although I might not show it often enough, I do love you lots!

forgive me but I'm just direct

just me luck today but I met with a few incidents where I had to make my peace.

1) i had a fall at NTUC all because the floor was wet and visibly had a layer of water .. which i later found out was oil! after my fall.. luckily I did not sprain anything but I had a bruise on my feet as i hit one of the racks.. i walked straight out to look for the manager. She had gone home for the day so lucky her I did not vent my anger on her. THen I told the lady who was answering my questions that I had a fall and if the floor was wet / OILY please put a sign there. Luckily I was the one who fell, my mom was right behind me. I would have leashed out at any poor soul if my mom was the victim and she hurt herself again.

2) some clever fella can't park at my area. He / She ( i shall be politically correct) parked in a slanted manner taking up the next lot. I didn't realise and parked in the next lot. Really pissed from my fall I took out a piece of paper and wrote a very courteous note ( i swear i really am there were all the magic words in it!) to tell him / her if he / her cannot park please don't drive around. Even though he / her is only a 'P' plate driver, it is simply not an excuse.

I made my peace.

is it just my luck that I meet such 'smart' souls everywhere?

Please help me...

Goodies!

Goodies!, originally uploaded by fiona woo.

After spending the "required" amount - I shan't say how much.. but judging by what others paid, I'm just half of what they spent! (althought I did hear other HAPPY whinings about how much they had spent!) - I lucky-dipped a CHA souvenior! I chose this AC Lanyard! Think it'll be ended up being used as ribbons! wahaha..

Love Swatch books! my 2nd collection of it. 1st was Quotes which I found really useful! Latest collection is of flowers! pretty rubon flowers! Yeah!!

{ hole in my pocket! }

Love these Scenic Route Stickers with a mixture of alphas and titles!
Love the background of the stickers too!

Love the patterns on the stickers! so cool!

Lurveee these AC thickers so much! How i wished I could buy one of every colour???
ermm.. Maybe I should?? wahaha

Lovely sisters came back from CHA to share all the yummy goodies they picked out! & looked what I reaped at yesterday's Open House! I think everyone went crazy over Technique Tuesday (so did I but I was 1. too late to grab the good stuff! 2. I'm over my budget, despite the fact that I have a 15% discount at TVC)

Time to dig out more photos!

1st Reunion meal today with the Woos!! Yum Yum!!

pardon the bad skills

my apologises for my horrible photo taking skills! I don't blame the bad lighting! seriously!

while on the bus home today, I took out a piece of paper and started sketching how I wanted the LO to look like! in the end, it did not look anything like the few sketches! This was done in quick time - probably one of the fastest I've done.

Thought I had better use up some of the pp i bought at the last few TVC OH before i stock up during sat's OH! hehe.. if not I won't have the excuse to buy more things!

old picts done up

A post before I'm out for the day!

When I started to run out of 'recent' scrapworthy photos, I went through the cupboard which my mom stored all the old photos! And these were some that I found:

Photo of me swimming! My very 1st swimming lesson???


I love to swim, even now... I remembered going for swimming lessons at the public pools of AMK (inflating a pair of PJ pants to act as a float - think they still do it now!) and swimming at Tanglin Club on the weekends, ending with a good meal of fish and chips after.
Oh... how i miss my childhood days!

As I search through the numerous albums, I found pictures of me constantly carrying a bag! I tried to find photos of me even younger carrying a bag and I did but sorry they are "jian bu de guang" kind of pictures! hehe.. Anyway, I think this is why I have such an addiction to buying bags all year round - one to suit every occasion.

Happy sunday everyone! 2 more weekends to CNY! ooo.. so fast

{ naughty student }

Part 2 of today's lesson was to make a mini album... but I decided that I wanted to do little G instead. Cousin J was so accomodating.. trying to help both Jo and myself with our different LOs. It's amazing how fast Couin J comes up with the sketch of the LO in her HEAD! I completed half of the LO at her place and brought the rest home to do! It took me such a long time just to add in the embellishments! Trying to decide does this go with that, is this appropriate? Does this match? should I put this here? Is it balance? I've heard of the "triangle"-rule and I try to adhere to Cousin J's tip - try to create only 1 focal point! Hope I did a good job of her lovely DD.. well, how bad can I go when half of it was with her help? But then again, I could have made a mess of the embellishments!

But I really LOVE this LO of G! Trick was to use the word "LOVE" throughout the LO: so i thought of Love forever, Sweet Love, Love grows, and Love is pure. Cousin J with her fantastic range of stamps and stash had a stamp with the definition of Love which I used on top!

I thought - okie, so I've attended my very 1st formal lesson. Maybe I should be getting better at creating a LO. With the lesson in mind, I started off with things that match - same range of BG papers - that's always easy! Next comes the difficult part! Arghh... where to put what! or what to put where??

Okie okie.. FOCUS point focus point. So i thought the empty space next to the pict - one way only is my focal point? or I guess looking at it is the bottom half of the LO? Well... -cher;-cher J, how? did I follow the tips given? Am I on the right track? Did I create a balanced LO?

wahaha.. maybe I should have paid more attention at the other half of the lesson instead of playing with the irresistably adorable G! who kept calling me in her cute little voice >_<

Off to create some V day cards? Erm.. who to give to? wahaha.. can't wait for next sat for TVC OH! oh-la-la.. new stuff from CHA! I think I just enjoy buying and collecting stash because I think I'm quite bad at creating LO.

{ Lesson no 1 }

Had my very 1st lesson conducted by cousin-turned-teacher J today!

It was fun! Cousin J has been planning a lesson for some time and due to different schedule of some of the interested parties, the lesson has yet to materialise. However, Jo mentioned that she wanted to create a little keepsake album for the coming V-day pressie for darlin BF. So hence, the lesson that both of us attended today!

What I learnt :- Elements of a good LO

1) good picture taken in good lighting (often found at the weirdest places)
2) a nice title to suit your LO
3) a journalling spot
4) 1 FOCAL point, where you start to put all the embellishments and rubons
5) choice of colours is important, make sure they match (usually can be found in the same range)

did I miss out any pointers??

Our LOs are the same because we must be good and listen to Teacher's instructions on how to do the LO.. but subsequently.. I became the ______.

Poor dearie was not feeling well but she still came long trying her best to absorb all the info and trying her best to make a nice LO. Well, BF better appreciate man! wahaha...

in memory of...

MY LONG CURLY HAIR.. which i miss so much! I thought cutting it short would be easier to managed and more financially feasible.. but in the end! it takes me longer time in the morning to blow dry it and I've been late for work almost everyday! >_<

Thought I would do a LO of myself when I had long hair.. and since I had it for the whole of 2006, i decided to title it "'06 me".. seems everyone is doing a ___ a LO/snapshot a day/month and I thought I should also do one.. a LO a year!! wahaha..
could not find a nicer picture of myself.. If anyone has a nicer one of me with my nice long curly hair please send it to me! I found pics of Lisa's picasa a/c and I saw some nice ones there.. maybe i should scrap those! :) Nice pictures taken with an equally nice SLR!

have a great weekend everyone! Mine looks to be another busy one :)

In need of a crop

My brothers and I are considered close by siblings standards! We still go shopping together and they would ask for my impecable (ah-hem) opinions on clothes!
Thought I do a LO for the latest trip that we went on together - my graduation in Perth in 2003.

It was Kor's 2nd (?) time to Perth. He gave me a visit during my uni days together with a surprise visit from Cousin S. I remembered being really sad the night before they left as we had a really great road trip driving down south.

This was Ron's 1st trip to Perth and hope he had fun!

I wonder when the next time will be when we go on a holiday together now that everyone is busy with each other.. and I hardly get to see them even at home!

Mom and Dad's wedding photo taken 1975. Mom loves the LO and requested of that i do one of herself
wahaha...

LO's were done during the last crop I had with Cousin J and Lisa. It was a great crop! I went prepared with sketches of how I wanted the LO to look like and I got to work quick! Love crops too because I get to use the wonderful things my cousin and friends have! Wonderful alpha stamps (courtesy of Lisa! n Lina), flowers, follage stamps, ribbons, pp (Courtesy of Cousin J)! Huge THANX to them!

Can't wait for the next crop to happen.. hint hint! First I need scrap-worthy pictures!

To any of my friends who read my blog... and if you like the scrapbooking LOs and want to learn please let me know! Cousin J is conducting lessons! Really good! You see my LOs? She is the one who gave me my very first lesson in scrapbooking and introduced me to this wonderous hobby. If I can do it so can YOU!

finally 2007 mE

i know i know it's a bit late.. almost to the end of jan... but finally got my 2007 Me LO out.. done with the new Daisy D papers and JBS journalling spots I got from the recent TVC open house. Happy with the result after professional consultation with lisa.. Thanx!!!

Also made a mess in the process of creating this LO .. on my bro's bed.. luckily he's away in states if not I'll be scolded!!

Satisfied Saturday

I look sleepy eye! but I like my new hair cut.. Picture courtesy of Lisa who took it for me at the wonderful TVC open house today! Came out with good finds :) I love thickers alpha! Tomorrow's project - 2007 Me! LO with my newly bought DaisyD papers! so victorian :) Love it...

The experience at the Korean Salon was great! To start things off, the Korean stylist, Alicia was pretty (but it does make you wonder which part of her did she have surgery on???) anyway she was pretty nonetheless... She spoke smatterings of English but enough to convey that I wanted a nice and shoulder length haircut. - with the help the picture of the Korean actress i faithfully saved in my mob. She was really nice. The services provided were good too - from apple juice (usual beverages at salons are either tea, coffee or water - they have juices!), korean snacks to even a locker system for your bags so you don't have to carry your bag when you go wash your hair! I decline the locker system, instead she was so nice as to provide a chair for me to put my bag on. I really enjoyed myself at the salon and I think next trip to a hair salon will be there too!

Satisfied Saturday...

* Smiling in GLEE*

Yeah yeah!! :P

the weekend is here..

I just had the perfect start to the weekend.. with a huge bowl of Crab Bee Hoon Soup from the famous AMK ave 3 eatery.. ooo.. oh so good meal.. although it means I can't sleep to 3am! I must wait for the glorious rich soup to digest in my stomach!!

Busy Saturday for me! Excited!!!! very excited!!

After getting my "work" over and done with.. I am going to cut my hair!!! I decided (finally!) that I should try to Korean salon in Pacific Plaza, the conversation over the phone went something like this.

Me: Hi

Receptionist (R): Hello, Jayun Hair Salon

Me: I would like to check how much you charge for a hair cut? I have long hair and would like to cut it to shoulder length hair.

R: Our normal stylist cost $45, Senior Stylist $50 and Director is $60, irregardless of length of hair.

Me: Oh! I have a picture of the hairstyle I want. You know the actress that was feature in Urban about your hair salon?

R: Are you after a change of hairstyle? We have a Korean hairstylist but if you don't mind the language barrier she can't really speak English.

Me: Well, I'm going to a Korean Salon, so I was thinking I can have a Korean hairstylist.


Conversation ended with an appointment tomorrow at 1pm with this Korean stylist.. Duh... afterall I decided on this Korean salon precisely because I want to try a Korean stylist right? Why would I want a local stylist?? If I were to do that, I might as well have gone back to Vive? Erm... Duh.. Well updates on the hair will come soon.. many of my friends are patiently awaiting the outcome of my 'experience' at the salon, if it's good, they will try to.. so I'm the guinea pig!

*****************

Triple Yeah!! TVC open house tomorrow! So worried that by the time I arrive all the good deals are gone! how how?? Please keep goodies for me okie, M? So many new things according to the emails that I have been getting! Yeah yeah!! Plus my cousin is starting her very own scrapbooking class! So excited for me.. :) Anyone interested let me know! Scrapbooking is really fun! Shall post pictures of my grabs since my camera is finally back from halfway round the world!!

So excited by tomorrow.. have been waiting for the Open house since I knew about it!! yeah yeah!!

Have a great weekend everyone... mine is looking great!

ranting and ravings

this is more of a rant or should i say rantS!! I do have lots to release! haha...

Bus trip up to KL

1. Bus was extremely lacking in comfort. The other buses that went pass us looked so much more comfortable with leather seats, individual TV screens to better looking curtains! To make things worse, there was this group of family (not local Singaporean, not sure where as they spoke in some un-intelligent language, hence their boorish behaviours) that consisted of 4 adults, 1 teenager and 2 kids. At first it was the father and mother that sat in front of us. The father had the cheek to look at us in the face, nod his head and recline the chair all the way back! I know that the chair is meant to do that but PLEASE for GOODNESS SAKE, be mindful of how others feel about having their space invaded! Call it fate or what -- I think it's total BAD LUCK, we encountered them on the same bus back to Singapore! This time the 2 younger sons sat in front of us and the moment they got into the bus, they reclined the chair all the way back! I was so fuming mad that I told him off!
   
   
2. Then the younger adult of the family, coming from don't know what u-lu country did not even have the courtesy to line up to get up the bus and just cut queue right in front of me to get up the bus. talking about country pumpkin.. her clothes were horrendous as well.. I think she was probably about the same age as me.. but sadly married to a fat hideous looking of a so-called "man". Pathetic!!!
   
   
3. The bus picked us up at 3.30pm on Sunday. Then it went round the town to pick other people up! The trip round the town took 1 and a half hours!!!!!!!!!!! Wasted 1 half hours on the bus when I could have been out shopping!!! Finally time to get onto the highway and guess what??? The driver passed by the same place as he 1st picked us from to pump in petrol! So couldn't he pick the rest of the passengers up then come n pick us up?? Talk about intelligence!
   
   
4. See how important that 1 half hours is??? I could have BOUGHT something.. anything! True blue shopaholic.. knowing that I am in KL supposedly another shopping capital but I did not spend a single cent on anything! The dress that I like was taken by a friend and being the picky me, I did not voice out that I liked it as well and I also refuse to have the same clothes as her! So I kept quiet and let my unhappiness fume in me and I remained quiet for the trip back. I was really upset! I changed S$100 to get RM $270 and I only spent around RM$50 on food and transport?? Is this me? I should have not waited and just heck it and buy what I like at least I would have felt better. I liked this little mannequin -- the kind that you can hang your earring/necklaces on and I thought, "it's okie don't need to get it now I can still buy it tomorrow morning before going back to Singapore" and what happens in the end? NO TIME!!! Aaaaaargggggghhhhhhhh I am fuming!!! I even shred a tear or two!!!
   
   
5. BUT at least the trip was a nice revisit to KL. I saw KLCC a place I heard so much about! I also went to A & W and had their rootbeer float! I missed it alot! hehe.. I will go back again but definitely not with the bus company 707 travel at queens street.. I rather pay more money for better bus ride up and more reliable ones.

My latest collection to my growing collection of shoes! Saw a bag at Raoul that will match the colour but didn't see it at the shops :( bit upset by that. Anywayz, it's so cute rite? Love the pumps and loafer design and of course the colour too!! hehe.. well it's another pair that I've bought but yet to wear! The shop where I've been buying shoes from just popped me a msg and email! More new shoes at the shop.. trying to find time to go by.. wonder when but i will! hehe.. love the quality and design of the shoes at this particular shop - THE SHOE LOFT at China Square, Nankin Street.. Because I have to go there purposely when new collection comes in, I usually walk out of the store with 2 pairs of shoes each time! The lady boss is really nice too which makes the whole experience so much more pleasant!

Time to clear my cupboard of shoes (Dad is complaining!!!) Time to throw away useless and damn uncomfortable Charles and Keith shoes already!! SPRING CLEANING TIME!

have a good weekend everyone! I'm off to KL for a weekend trip... quite rush but a quick getaway is better than nothing?

deliberations...

Pictures of Song Hye-Kyo (from the famous Korean Drama Full House, in which she acted with Rain). Especially like the 3rd picture where she wears specs... Do i even look a little like that when i do??? haha.. vainity..

I've spent the past week deliberating whether to cut my hair? Perm my hair? Leave it alone? Whenever it is time for me to make such decision, I find myself in a real dilemna, but then, I always tell myself "It's only hair! It will grow back!!" Anyone and everyone I see almost everyday has been bugged by me on what I need to do with my hair!! But then I still find it hard to make a decision! Any suggestions? What do anyone think of picture 2? think I should cut aways the curls and make it nice and even like that ya? suit me??

then again.. the 1st pic is for dreamers like me.. when will i every look like that????


just one word to describe me... VAIN

I really needed to post this! haha.. after signing off from my own blog.. i clicked "next blog" and some foreign language blog came up so okie, i clicked "next blog" again.. and guess what? I found this Beyonce blog.. obviously not by her!! haha... i really can't stop laughing!

I thought the time has passed whereby people will put up pictures like that or even create a website for the celebrity... and if you scroll down.. u will see a title "SOME PICTURES OF ME" me?? me?? haha.. really I thought nothing like this existed anymore!

otherwise, I'm old.. and I am not bothered by stuff as frivolous as this! LOL

weekend is over.. wanted to do so much! but well.. too bad another time not bothered too. I know myself! If i want to get something done, it will happen it's only a matter of time

Isn't life a journey of constant learning process? So why did one B have to stay I must stop learning and start to contribute? WTF? I have such serious issues with that? I really can't get what she said out of my head! It really leaves such a foul taste in my mouth...

Look! I the past 4 months! I've learned:

1) to blog! Something that I've seen people around me do and thought that I would never do it precisely because I'm too lazy and I thought it's too time-consuming! But what the heck! just LEARN!

2) to scrapbook! and totally loving it! I've seen my cousin do it and with such enthusiasm it has certainly inspired me to take up scrapbooking!

3) partically everyone knows that i am totally HOPELESS with the public transport system in Singapore!! and given the fact that my new work place is freaking far away from home sweet home... what did I have to do? LEARN!!! to take 2 buses to work.. well it was quite a long process.. starting from 3 buses and LEARNING that I could in fact only have to take 2 and how did I come to know? I LEARN??

so what the heck did that B had to say I MUST STOP LEARNING????

life is a journey of learning okie?? Damn! I am really pissed as I'm recalling all the words she said to me! and now I am so glad that I'm out of the place so i felt so stagnanted and I really needed to LEARN something new! Woo Hoo..

well below is a belated X'mas card to everyone I know. Made with my new found knowledge of scrapbooking okie?? see I am LEARNING!!

this is how lazy i am

haha... i've not blogged for what? how long? when was the last time i came here? aug? OMG!! it's already 2007! see i have such random thoughts..
but good to know is that scrapbooking has really been keeping me busy!!! hehe.. I love it..

Happy new year everyone!
have a great weekend.. mine seems to be filled.. hopefully can squeeze in a crop somewhere!
