It has been sometime

since I blog...I was travelling alot and seems like every weekend is being packed with activities... Believe it or not, I am an indeed an IT idiot who are trying to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe photoshop now.

I took some random pics which most of it is old pics and start working my newly learnt skills on it.... i can say..i am quite proud of it ^_^

I took this pic in Rome sometime ago. It is a nice warm autumn...

Took this pic at...i forgot the club name. Hehehe...it is a club in KL anyway and I don't really enjoy that night.

Fell in love with this picture I saw online....it is a wedding site selling the gown. Unlike typical adverts, they put more effort in the photo. It is a nice pic where the model is happily posing in a busy paris street.

I was with my uncle in London 2 years ago...It is seriously a cold early winter..started snowing in November...I make the picture looks like it is being painted so it look kind of blur and fake...

Dats all and I will try to make more nice stuff and blog it here :)

Louise

ask me to scrap her laptop when i was back in Sabah last week. I spent less than a day to do it because I am so busy with my sis's wedding. It is a simple one but trust me...it is not effortless...

The photo is a bit blur here so pardon me for that. When i tried to take a photo of it, it is reflecting me in it. Hard...I have no talent. I should’ve thought of using something to block the light...oh well, this photo is better.

I screwed my laptop last night when I hit the screen with the plug on the iron. I was lying on the bed chatting with dear Sharon and Terry when I lazily put the iron away from my bed to the side table. When I did the plug hit the screen and instantly the left bottom corner of my screen went white. It is like I broke the inner screen. I lay there stoned for a while and i told Sharon and Terry that I screwed my laptop and I gtg. I know I have to either replace the screen or the whole laptop altogether but...but what about the scrapping on it? hmm...don't judge me. I know.

Okay, this is Louise’s laptop.

Bought this bear bear chain for my new bag but unfortunately after 1 week the bear bear's body came off.....upset -_-'''

Poor bear....

Moved

Finally I moved to a new place yesterday. It was super strenuous and I believe I am destined to face 99 obstacles before finding a decent place. God, you never know what kind of shit I have been tru...some stupid agents tried to introduce me to diff apartment that is either run-down or you will get the creepy feeling when you enter the place. As if it is haunted. Oh, not to forget those places that looks like a prostitution centre. Kill me to live there....urgh! Imagine hearing lotsa weird noises coming from the room next door. Hahaha!

Rental went sky high this year. I pay more for my current room compare to what I paid for the whole house in Hougang. Location plays a part but I have seen shoddier place and locations that is asking for a lot of money. Glad I earn enough money to survive in this small lil country. *Shake head* I will never let my mom know how much I paid for the place or else she will faint!

The good news is my new place's location is superb, just 5 minutes to Orchard on taxi! Conversely, it seems like kind of tough to fetch a taxi at my new place. I have to call a cab to work today and it cost me $14 for less than 10mins journey. The last time I paid to come to work from Hougang is around $20 which is cheap in compare to the distance traveled. I have to learn how to take mrt to work soon.

Those who are looking for a place can always check out this link http://www.easyroommate.com/. They have lot of listings and the good news is they don’t allow agents. You will end up saving from paying agent fee and escape from seeing all those creepy places. Killing many many birds with one stone! Muahahahha....

Second Assignment

Sammi asked me to do this for her anniversary with Zen. Normally my frame size is W13xL18cm. But unfortunately I left the last frame measured W50xL23cm. And it took me 2 months to finish it because it is too big therefore it needs more material of the same theme to ensure that the outcome will not look messy. It is also due to my lack of experience working with big frame. Well I also have to admit that I was procrastinating, as I don’t have any inspiration. I guess I am most effective when I am reaching the deadline. Hehe…

I have to start doing another scrap soon or else I will have nothing to post.

I, me & myLife

It was holiday in Malaysia last Friday and yesterday. A long weekend to celebrate Hari Raya festival (new year for malays). This is the very first time I wish I am working in Malaysia instead. FOUR days off! gosh! at least then I will have more time to work on more scraps and have more time to update my blog. I like my blog’s new face! Love the color and also the rainbow!

Just to update a bit, I have few new orders on hand now! I am working for 3 diff types of theme or should I say occasions. One is for a baby, a wedding and also a birthday gift. Better go and get more frames. But too bad I am so busy playing sims at night, I know some of you might be laughing at me now…playing such a boring game…but I like the part where I am able to build the house and earn more money to expand the house. I want a swimming pool! Haha…

Ahem, better be more professional!

Ah, my sister saw my blog and she is annoyed with me because I put her ‘ugly’ picture on my previous blog (she with the baby). Opps…

Okay, back to my weekend. I had great weekend. I felt young again. Really, after I moved to Singapore my life seems to have slowed down. Most of the time I stay home (this is how I picked up scrapping) and sometimes shopping with limited friends. But last weekend spells G.R.E.A.T! I went to Karaoke with Jackly and Fiona (my colleague), shopping after that at Marina Square. At night I and my sis went to see Sammi’s concert! We had so much fun we stood up and screamed for her name the whole night, like a kid. But surprisingly karaoke and screaming session did not break my voice! Canggih bah! there's technique how to scream *wink*

Will be uploading my photos soon!

Oh, btw….WELCOME TO MY PAGE!!

Digital scrapbooking

I stumbled upon this * website * where you can actually do digital scrapping on your photos. They come with few packages - Free basic design (free), premiun design ($1.99) and club smile box ($4.99 - $39.99)

For the free basic package you can't change much on the layout except you can put your own wordings, music and choose how many pictures you want to include in. I would not say that it is scrapping, more like a slide show but it is a pity it does not play on my site. You have to click on it another page will appear with adverts beside it. well, free ma!

Still, it is fun!

First paid job

Karin comes to me one day in the office asking me to help her scrap a gift. She hands me a photo of her and 2 other friends and says she wants me to make something nice and sweet for her friend(that is why I use pink color). Karin is the girl in the middle and she told me her friend (on her right) is leaving to further her studies in oversea. She wants something that will remind her and their friendship even if they are going to be apart for few years. I am super duper excited because this is my first assignment. Can you believe it? I am actually paid to scrap! Muahahaha!!

Seriously, I am motivated to make it nice and make her proud. I understand the feeling of living abroad and moving into a whole new place where nothing is familiar, it is heartwarming to have something that she feels familiar with accompanying her everyday. I hope this gift will reminds her of the memories they made together in their friendship. When I design this frame I put in a lot of small lil details (lotsa eyelets, brads, holes that makes the paper look like laces, glitters), I want her to feel excited every time she looks at it as though after few years later, she will look at it and still finds something she hasn't realized before.

I am excited when it is done. I love it a lot, Karin loves it a lot , her friends love it too....One of my colleague loves my work too and actually ask me to make one for her anniversary gift!

Big R = Ronnie

The more scrappings I do, the more I want to do more to see how diversify I can be each time. This is a return girly gift for my friend Ronnie from Seoul for her warm scarf. When I think of Ronnie, immediately i thought of gentleness, kindness, bright and a happy soul. This floral theme which shout, "pretty in Pink" relates to her in every way.

When I gave this to her last July in Korea, she was in good shape she even said i might not be able to recognize her! After shedding off few pounds, who know what suprise is awaiting her around the corner? I would say the the best thing ever happen would be....

Her and Chris have been dating for a couple months now and they are soooo cute together. So cute you will feel like puking!! ;P hehe, just kidding. yea, i know how it feels to be in love! haha!!! eh, i think he looks like the guy in "my wife is a gangster 3" by Shuqi. Well, except for the fact that the actor has longer hair and few fine lines ^_^

p/s: R, I hope this nice frame still sits proudly in your room ^_^, oh ya, you can pay me to make one for you and chris now!!!hehehe.....

You are Wrong!

If you think giving a picture frame is 'out', then think again! Well, giving a plain photo frame will make you like a primary school kid of cz. So, with a lil bit of sweet thought a photoframe will make a fabulous gift! Why not?:)------------>

.::Angeline::.

Our 25th birthdays marked 10 years of friendship. She was one of the more popular girls in our school with good academic record. We weren't close then although we were in the same class. She is always quiet and elegant and I am more of the loud and silly type. We are diff yet so similar in a way. It never crossed my mind that we will become 'chi mui'. I remember we even bitched about each other, :p Well, I dunno bout her but i think I did....haha! Sorry babe....the way you walk was too eye-catching! haha.



So I made a birthday scrapping with 'lotsa loving' & 'friendship' as ingredients!

Rainforest theme

Look at those "act cute" face! Have to admit they r indeed a lovely couple. Oh Andy....you still owe me a favor!! *wink wink*

So, futher discount on the -ahem-

*BaBy JesSie*

We visited Ronnie, Jeanine and her baby Jessie last autumn in Korea. It was a great holiday with lotsa weight gain. I wanted to give something to the new born baby (i mean not new new....she is 1 yr old now). How could I ever visit her with an empty hand? I wanted to get her a personalized gift but found nothing special...well, besides getting her sweet lil dress/cute lil shoe/ prob a soft piggytoy....what else? Those gifts will only last for awhile....

After cracking my head to find her something *special* and *lasting*

AHA!

Can't keep my eyes off her when I was scrapping. I just have the urge to pinch her meaty face, haha. I figured pink would be nicest color to start with, mixture of flowers, eyelets as buttons on her cute lil top, a safety pin as deco...ah, simply irresistable...

Hope she will grow up faster to learn that someone made such a sweet gift for her ;)

Update 10/10/07 : Jeanine sent me some of Jessie's picture. Can't help but falling in love with her

Love this lil angel.....
