Craft and Stuff


I saw (and borrowed) these few interesting looking books from the library, I had a hard time deciding which 4 books to borrow. Hey, it’s been a long time since I borrowed books, usually I would just buy it/them.

I spent a couple of minutes squealing over the adorable pictures and couldn’t wait to get home to try them out…
 

 

 

 

Does the dollhouse look familiar to you, Sharon? :D

舞林大道- I. Candy was out. Not too much of a regret there, much as I like their story plots, I don’t really get too excited over their dancing. I have a personal favourite dancer from each group! XD If only I could see the whole thing including all the small talks and whatever stuff they cut to squeeze into the 1 and half hour slot…

JLPT 3 - I passed. With horrifying lousy grades. Oh well, I thought I would fail. Seriously, since I only memorised katakana, some kanji (most are level 4 too) which I found on the Japanese sites listed on the right, my left and right, north-east-south-west, inside-outside-middle-beside-right by-in between-behind-in front-etc, and some other like ’I thought’, ‘I heard’, ‘must be’ etc etc… This must be the haphazardly prepared-for examination ever; among all the other exams that I DO prepare for – which is … not really a lot.

With the minimum of 240 as a passing grade, I scored 75/100 for writing-vocabulary; 83/100 for listening (long live anime); 113/200 for writing-grammar. Jeez. I sneaked by with 31 marks. >_<

Hot and Humid weather- calls for a glass of cold Jelly. Inspired by the manga – Kitchen Princess. Except that cheater bug me bought just-add-water-type-of-jelly instead of starting from scratch. And 4 layers instead of 7.

Dream –  Do not play zombie game right before I sleep. Or else there is a high chance of dreaming about fighting off zombies with … mopiko. To kill them, smear a bit of mopiko on their ’skin’, and they would scream and crumble into gooey pile (probably inspired by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone movie that I watched at Amber’s house recently; except it was dust pile). And hey, I dreamt of one of the malay guys in 4C.

Game – Try this game – Globetrotter XL. After a few games, I came to re-establish the fact that my geography sucks. However, it certainly improved after about an hour’s play. Hey, I even got my parents to help me since they are so knowledgeable with Europe. *snicker*. Well, I’m still stuck on level 4 though, but it’s only a matter of time to my level 5 badge! To get badges, you will need to join!

Art and Craft – Artist Trading card seems interesting… 6.4 cm x 8.9 cm.

Jewellery – Hey, Viking Knit! My current favourite! If you are wondering, it is the part on the coaster. Also, I got lazy creative and used an earring hook instead of the usual hook.

A very random idea that occurred to me in year 2008.

“Hearts” mini pegs

 

After seeing Kristie stuck a duck mini peg on Amber’s Christmas present, I decided I want a peg of my own.

Rainbow (+pink) Hearts mini pegs with TxN  stitched on <3

The second row of hearts is for you, Amber.
$3.50 please.

My mum and I started on our spring-cleaning on my room.
When she saw a dust spider (or whatever), she called my attention to it and went, “Look, what is this? A spider! There’s spiders in your room!!”

“No, that’s Xiao Hua. He lives under my bed, probably he is taking a  afternoon stroll,” I told her calmly, half expecting her to get pissed.

“Xiao Hua? No, no… it’s Xiao Ming,” she frowned as she gave the spider a little poke, “ Xiao Qiang’s long-distanced nephew.”  

“. . .”

*BAM* “No more afternoon strolls.”

“. . .”

If you’re waiting for me to post an entry on our work during the last day of 2008 and first day of 2009, please continue waiting. I’m actually waiting for YOU to post so I could ‘refer to Amber’.

I’m cuter than you!
inspired by Gaiaonline.com’s dust bunny.

 

/Edit: Erm, why is this one of the busiest post and yet only one comment. Maybe I should put up a tutorial or something?
But this is really easily done… I know, because I’m a newbie to sewing.
