Anyway, after that my son wanted to get a book from MPH. While browsing at the children corner I bump into a collection of Activity Scrapbook!!! Ohhh my, I can’t wait for allysha to grow up and start her own collection of scrapbook. I wanted to buy them all but go against the idea, it’s too precious to be torn apart by my princess!! Hehehe..

Despite the Heat...

Despite the heat, my little desk and work area is busy n scattered with papers n ribbons. Yes production is going at a fast rate this week. I have so many pending request and tried to finish them by end of this week.

:
First wud be the massive production of 20 mini cards from which only 10 managed to be delivered today for a friend who runs her own online cuppies business..tq Yan for believing in me..hehehe and 6 journal request from others. But i must say the most challenging is this particular order from Kak Aida.
:
:
She wanted an album n also a journal in one, so i had to scout for raw material and did this journal album from scratch. At first i was planning to bind them together but on 2nd thought i decided to used the ring instead so in future she will be able to add more papers or album if she wish too. I hope it's what she wanted, it took me 4 days to complete it!!! Hahaha..yeah talking bout being amateur..have a look at d photos n tell me what u think?

Facebook and Status Update

Have u ever update ur fb status n being misunderstood? Well that happens a number of times for me. I love having new found friends but more than often it’s difficult for me to get warm, up close and personal in a short time. U see I’m a simple person who is also very shy, timid and cold at times. I can’t just say hi and pretend that I’ve known u for life and assume everyone is comfortable being in a close relation with me.
 
That’s just me and most of the time I am being label as arrogant, choosy and a stuck up person. Which of course I’m not! And sometimes whenever I update my fb status I did not mean to condemned or put down certain friends or individual but on certain occasion I was told I had cause a hurtful feelings toward others.
 
Dear friends, I am so sorry. I have no intention whatsoever to say something bad or nasty. That is not my nature..well unless I’m pissed off of course but I never thought that sometimes without noticing they are a certain comment and statement that poke through certain hearts. Please accept my apologies. As much as I can try to avoid being insensitive and to generalized my status to something more about ‘me’ than about ‘others’.
 
Just the other day Mr Hubby advised to update less about ‘shopping’, he said think about those unfortunate who have nothing but enough to survived. Yes that made me think..i used to say if u have it flaunt it, but then again the malay proverb always say..’makin tunduk makin berisi’. You are so right dear..and just yesterday ‘allah’ make me see something that pierce my heart. Lets just keep that as my secret n lesson. Thank you..u made me realized…life is beautiful and worth living, they are life other than mine worth thinking...;)

Short but meaningful

The kids as usual r beaming ear to ear and so am i but sad to say the weather was not in our favor, it was raining the whole day and a visit to 'Boh' plantation and most of d farms had to be cancelled. It’s okay we’ll visit again soon..:)

He had to replace me and the next thing u know alif won the challenge! Omg..he slam dunk my son (as ana put it) to pop altogether 5 balloons n by the time he’s done I’m glad alif is still in one piece!!! Hahahaha. Over excited ‘abah’ is so competitive!!

Lomography..the artistic way

:
Some might wonder or never heard of lomography before. For accurate interpretation pls go here. My term is fairly simple, it’s an artistic form of photos taken spontaneously without rules n barrier. Shoot whatever, whenever n however u like it, of course u need a special camera for that and so here comes the lomo cameras. Unique in it’s own, the original design uses the 35mm film and only recently they introduced the digital version.
:
:
I did my research as I was planning to get one but a friend advice not to buy the digital version, the review is not that good either..but having said that I was also contemplating on how often I need to developed my films?? Meaning I will not get instant photos downloaded and it will take weeks before I cud get my hands on those pictures not to mention I need to stock up on films..hhhmmm still evaluating the pro’s n cons.
:
:
Thanks to a friend who advises me to download the free lomo application for iphone and let’s just say I lurveeee it big time!! (guess I’ve found the fav word of d week..big time!!) hahaha. Okay back to lomo..here r some of the pics that I managed to snap at home. Yuppp I was at home the whole day…hahaha. Isn’t it great..a novice like me managed to get the photos looking artistic. I have not tried printing it yet, perhaps I will do it tomorrow n see the end result. So..Will u guys consider lomo??? What do u think?
