I have problem

I could spend hours at craft room/ guest room to do cards and left my bro and sister at the front room with their DS. While they were shouting and yelling at the front, and me? Enjoying making card alone at the back. The reason why I'm in serious mood when I making card because I don't want waste any of the gorgeous papers. That's why. I made 6 cards for past two days. Different style in different sizes. Wheee.. Do any of you ever start to make something–card, page, whatever–and then hate everything about it except one element? That’s what happened to me on Thursday's night. I started making one card, but hated it. But I did like one part of it, so I saved it and worked it into a different card. Arghh..

Hmm... It didn't really turn out what I expect tho

The second cute little card..polka dots :)

I'm still working on this..missing out something. Arghh~ i'm thinking change the ribbon to larger one.. Anyone, Help??

A simple card with stamp set that I got from Marlene. Love it


Like the contrast and the little red button


The 6th card..more polka dots.. teehee

I just couldn't stop making more cards when I started the first one. Very addictive hobby.

Sunday

Hillsong's Live Album Recording. Yes! Three of us went yesterday and believe it or not?! It was packed!!! Show you guys photos in a while.

"Each year our live album recording has served as an opportunity for our entire church to come together, sing a new song and express our worship to God as one. Creatively, our team always endeavours to bring our very best,but the intent has always been above all, to simply capture the heartbeat of our church as it resonates with the heart of God. In 2009 we're going all out, we're taking a new approach and it involves every one of us. It involves you! So get it in your spirit now to expect an encounter with our Creator and Saviour like we've never seen or experienced. Expect the unexpected and let's together believe that whatever gets captured will ultimately break down walls and breathe the light, love and freedom of Christ into people’s circumstances all over the earth." - Joel Houston


The team came out with new songs every year and it was great!! Love it heaps!

Can you see how many people???? : |

Besides, what's is Kilo of Kindness? Kilo of kindness is about coming together in worship AND at the same time be a blessing to people in our local community who are doing it a bit tough. Simply bring a kilo of non-perishable foods and the church will pack and distribute to people in need through Sydney. This is about practically bringing justice to our community. So, we ended up with lots of stuff to put inside the bag, eg. cornflakes, plain flour, pasta, baked beans, tuna, rice, can of corn, tea bags, vegemite, etc etc... Not bad aeyy :)

Something that we did during the recording night..

*Note: I tried to upload another video of us singing but the file is too big :( it takes me ages to upload it.

After that, we went to EAT!! Here some of the fooooods that we ordered after 2 hours of singing.


That's about it. We all had fun and learn new songs. How amazing is that? Everone traveled from across the countries to join this event.

Well... that's all about yesterday. For today, I just wanted to share with you what I cooked for tonight dinner. Hehe..nothing important tho.. teehee

my favouriteeeeee, 'mushrooom' :) i'm not too sure whether you guys know about this or not, but just to share with you guys. Whenever you try to stuff meats onto 'something', just try to apply good amount of cornflor onto the surface and make sure the surface is dry. After that, you still have to apply one thin coat of cornflor to the meat mixture before you fry it. That's the sercet- cornflor, to prevent the meat mixture separate from 'something'.

Last but not least, seaweed soup with tofu

Yesterday

.. I thought I lost my iphone again (the 3rd time) but at last I found it again. It's at my bag's side pocket. *what I couldn't find my phone yesterday and I thought I lost it AGAIN. Yes, again!! To be honest, I almost cry and thinking NOT AGAIN!! I lost my iphone once (well..twice..the second time, it's my mum found it in the toilet. -_-) when I'm back at Miri. LOL.. Lost and found- for three times!!!

Anyway, My bro, sister and I had sushi night last night. After that, I baked blackberry muffins *yum and I made two cards right after that. I think I started it late. I finished making my first card at 2a.m and since I'm not sleepy, I would make the second one. Sweet :)

the sushi

the blackberry muffin ( the top is a bit burn :( )

the first card that I made last night

Honestly, I'm a bit afraid with using the big chipboard butterfly on this and accidentally I stamped 'blessing' the other way round. It supposed facing outside but without clear block, here's the mistake. I should have wait for my clear block to arrive.

here's the second card that I finished at 4 a.m. :) love it ..

Fun, is the word

Morning, everyone!!! I just make a quick post about what I did last night. My very-first handmade card. I made two of them, small one. No large card at this moment since I'm scare to waste my paper. Next time... when I get more time to explore. One for my brother who far away from here, Dubai and the other one for mr.boyfriend. I enjoyed the whole process. It is very challenging on making decision, which colour, what style, etc etc. It's fun. So, here comes the small card that I made last night.

when the ribbon at the bottom

At first, I put the ribbon at the bottom and showed it to my brother and sister for opinion. Both of them said, 'it looks 'empty' '. Hmm...and I looked it. True. *think..think..think... Then, I tried to put it at the top. It looked much better now. Well.. at least it doesn't look 'empty' now. I think.. :p

when the ribbon at the top

Beside, we edited and ordered a book (made by Apple) with all their photos in and ready to be post. I also added a ribbon and a silver bucket on it. Hope they will like it. :)

the book and my small card

Besides that, I also made a card for mr.boyfriend after he sent me Mr. Zorro (donkey/cow) and a small notebook. When I open the box, my sister asked, 'Sis, why Johnny gave you a donkey?' 'I don't know.' Then when I saw him online, i asked him. At first, he laughhh. 'It's a COW. 'moo-mooo'. Arghhhh.. I see - It's a COW!!! lol... Anyway, I made him a 'Green and classic' kinda feel of card. It ready to be post as well.

Mr. Zorro with big eyes and big head

..and the card

At first, I tended to keep it square. After a while, I think maybe round one corner. hmm..maybe this side as well.. here..and here... Omg..At the end, I rounded every single corner. A very simple card.

I will make more and any suggestions or opinions are most welcome. I tend to keep this post short but failed because I have so many things to share with you guys. Oh well.. I hope you guys still enjoy reading this post. Off to shower now. You all have a lovely day and I'll be back soooon :)

xoxo

What happen today

I got waken up by my newphew

8.45am-
' Xiao ching gugu, don't you have class at 10am?'
'yess. Why????'
'It's almost 9am'
=_= omggg, then I replied, 'OOOOO~' x

I guess the conversation above will repeat again and again on every Monday/Wednesday. My nephew came to my room this morning and knocked at my door, just to wake me up. He didn't know I'm a 'last-minute' person *blush. I usually set my alarm at 9.15am if I have 10am class. Shower for 5 mins, get change, drink a cup of orange juice (if enough time), walk for 15mins to uni and reach 5-10mins before lecture/tutorial start. Just because we both class start at 10am and he woke up before me. He will be my 'alarm clock' for now on. =_= how sweet he is~? huh'''' Oh well.

And I had lunch with brother and sister this afternoon. We all had satay rice for lunch. .

I got paper cut at my finger today. wth.. It's painnn even though it's small. I remember I got paper cut all over my body. Legs, hands, fingers..This was happen 6 years ago when I studied foundation year at RMIT. We been asked to make a 1:1 furniture model from cardboard. Seriously...the thick-brown paper cuts us more than the knife. It was funny that when I saw most of us had bandage all over our body. funny. It was a great memory though :) .

Anyway, I went to Eastgarden with brother after uni. We went to get a new vacuum cleaner and a shaver for pet grooming. I shaved Bibi this afternoon and.. because this was my first time and my unprofessional skill, she got few cuts at her body :/ sowiiiee, Bibi :P

Bibi with her red/pink hoodie and pinky bear blanket

For dinner, we ordered 3 large Domino's pizzas because lazy to cook tonight. After the dinner, I went to prepare meal for brother and nephew to bring for lunch tomorrow. Started 7.45pm- finished cleaning at 9pm. :) Now, updating my blog and heading to bed soon because 'aunty-visit' todayyy : /

I'm so excited I could cry

Just 15 mins ago, a package arrived in the mail addressed to me. When I open the door, I saw a white parcel lay on the floor and I picked it up. I got a parcel from Beijing, China. From China?? I'm pretty sure that I didn't order anything from China. Who on earth is this?! Oh well...I love receiving packages particularly when they are unexpected. Upon closer inspection I saw this:


I was very excited and flipped the package over to tear it open when I saw this: Marlene from Beijing??! OMGGG... So I quickly ran to the room to get pen knife to open it!! I almost cryyy when I open it. Really!!!

2 stamp sets and a handmade card

... and a short message inside the card :)...sweet


♥ I 'Lup' you, marlene!!! ♥:D
