A Blue Layout

A very blue layout ... a color which I avoided for the longest time but I kinda like it ..


Title and journalling reads : -


Be more concerned abt your charecter instead of your reputation, because your reputation is who others think you are, but your charecter is who you really are inside. It is the summation of your desires, attitude, innermost motives and thoughts when everything else is stripped away ..


PP : Jenni Bowlin
Alphas : a mixture of EK success, MM, AC and Heidi Swapp
Flowers : Prima
Bling : prima and Kaiser
Frame : MM
Overlay : Over the Moon
Bingo Card : Jenni Bowlin
Ink : Dew Drop

What the .....

okay complainy post coming rite up ..

As u all know .. I fell on saturday and had a swollen ankle by sunday .. huge .. humongous BALL OF PAIN .. so i did wat i should the whole of sunday .. stay on the sofa and not move (not very difficult considering lazy old me ) ... and I decided to "re-alter " a box i did previously using the ANNA G papers I got on friday ... and CLEVER CLEVER ME .. decided to use her thumb instead of water /heat/adhesive remover... to rub off the adhesive and I now have a blister on my thumb .. VERY CLEVER SHARON ...

and ... I really have to rant here .. but not to anybody or targetting at anybody ... MY MODZILLA DOES NOT LIKE BLOGS WITH FANCY PANSY stuff like background music and slideshow .. IT KEEPS HANGING ON ME .. argh .... me hatey ...


On another note .. I have designed 2 classes for laines and they are up in their blog ... pretty fun class ... :)

shucks .. I have tons to write .. but all of a sudden .. I have nothing .. will update ... when I can remember ...

it happened again

yes ....

I did it again ....

clumsy old me .. twisted her ankle again .. sighz. this time ... it's the other ankle ... the left one ... will be hopping along the next few days...

*note to self : LOOK WHERE U PUT UR FEET NEXT TIME !!!!*

Guess who ....

I found .. heheheh ... MY NEW LURVVEEE *okay maybe old love for the brand but ... NEW nevertheless.... *

The Stamp Storage Idea...

okay ... So many request for a clearer sense of how I store my Stamps... so Here it is ... but before ... Here is a picture of my Liquid Glue Stash .. ahahah . different kinds .. for different techniques...


Alot hor ... hahaha .. okay .. here it is .. how I store my Stamps ... UM and Clear...


Files from Popular .. I got the hard Cover kind .. dun like flimsy types lah ... I got those that U can slide stuff in the front, back and sides ... Cost ... $5 from Popular .. :) they are those arch files ...


This is the Hard Cover Case that I got from Popular .. Cost is 1.75 .. Size is A4 .. there are many different Sizes .. and I have some B5 Size for my Alpha Stamps .. (depending on Size of Stamps too . )



I used my Cropadile to punch holes in at the "SEALED" side so that I can use the "opened" side to slide in Plain Paper so that I can stick the "image" (Usually in the Packaging) onto the paper and stick the stamp above the clear file (like how you stick ur stamp on ur acrylick Block)

Proof that I use the one which opens horizontally instead of on the top ...

(Credit for this Storage Idea : Lynette )

heheh .. So hope this is clear enuff .. if not .. erm .. let me think of something ..

Ribbon Storage

Here is how I store my ribbons .. I am sure many of you have tons of ribbons lying ard your area and or tangled up in jars. I know that many scrapbookers use those large ikea jars to keep your ribbons by color but I find that this way is the best to keep them using the least amount of space . I use DMC Thread Spokes and the DMC Thread keeper for this.



1) Folder and Spokes look like this. One Folder can keep up to 14 spokes and spokes are sold in packets of 10. I get them at Spotlight but have spotted them at art friend and most places that sell Cross Stich Stuff. The Folder Cost abt 1.79 each and a packet of Spokes is abt 1.99.

As the folders have Holes already punched they fit into most 2 ring Binders and I store them in the same Files as My Stamps. Files from Popular Bookstore.



My Ribbon Collection. They are sorted by Colors, or if I have many of the same kind but different colors (aka Polka Dotted, Grosgrain) they are kept by type.



This is how it looks filed...

Hope this Helps in your organising ur stash ...

Next post ... The STAMP STORAGE ...

Bored in Jakarta

today was quite a bz day for me .. went up north of JKT to meet a client (abt 1 hour drive away) and den went to another client's place near the hotel .. and walked back to the hotel (i think my lungs are full of exhaust fumes) .. braved crossing a big road without traffic lights (scary shit) ... but was quite an eye opener .. so far ..

Jkt traffic would actually be quite good if only there was proper planning in the first place but den again ..it is now too late .. wanted to go check out a mall in the evening but decided against it when I figured that it would take me abt an hour in traffic (peak Hour) and den by den the shops would be closed so I am stuck at the hotel eating room service and watching Cable TV ... and surfing .. gotta make my money's worth ..

Tmr will be a long day with the remaining customers to visit and waiting for another one to arrive from Surabaya .. and maybe if there is time .. to go check out the night life in JKT with Ciska .. kekek .. oh well .. will see if it will actually happen .. heheheeh ..

Helllooo from JKT

Yeap I am in JKT .. today is already the 3rd day in JKT and caved .. caved in for internet Access .. cannot tahan without lah .. :P

Waiting for a client's driver to come pick me up at the hotel to take me to their office and den another 2 clients for today and free time tonite i hope ..

What have I been busy with ....

Measuring and cutting ... cutting and measuring ... counting and counting and stacking and stacking ... Far flung craft papers for the make and takes for CHA ... K would be pleased to know that the papers are all cut except for the extra inchies ... hehhe .. WOOOHOOO ..

TVC is holding their final and last clearance sale starting tonite ... It is kinda sad to see TVC closing after 18 months ... been with the gals since the start and boy would I miss the Open houses and all the conversations abt wat to bring in and nots .. and what I will miss the most are the TVC customers/friends who never fail to pop by for the monthly open houses .. It was fun but we still can meet up other ways eh .....

Another 12 more sleeps before I board the flight to HKG and thereafter anaheim... kekekek .. like I told K during our meet earlier ... IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE REAL ...

Has it been that long ???

Since I last posted.... kekekek .. been abit busy these days with what I wonder.

Was away for a few days in BKK and BKK did not disappoint.. Managed to squeeze in all that I wanted to do and shopped and massaged and ate .. and ate and ate .. too much .. peektures soon .. I plomise .. not much thou .. did not drag out my DSLR ard the streets of bkk .. it was shoulders for shopping or camera .. and guess who won .. :)

Am quite bummed that there may be a HUGE possibility that I may not make it to Disneyland during my stay in Anaheim cause I have classes on that day .. 2 infact ... argh .... I want me mickey mouse ears ... bleah .. and just discovered that the rental of a car may not be a possibility cause it will cost too much ... and so my outlet shopping trip may also be gonez ... thank goodness there is a target nearby the hotel ... bwahahahahahahah ...

okay so 14 more days to CHA ..... cannot wait ..

One more month

to CHA Winter ....

I have just booked my Classes for the Convention, will be taking 3 classes .. whoopeedooo .. cannot wait to attend ... Hopefully I will get to go learn some new stuff and can share with the rest ... :)

1 more month and I is getting excited ... hehehe ...

Leaving for BKK next week .. too .. yay ..

So I spent the whole of Friday Evening and Saturday morning watching the whole entire series of COFFEE PRINCe .. and I am soooo loving it ... it brings me into a SAPPY mood ... and make me remember certain parts of my life and so wanting to relive them again but the memory is best put into cold storage ... the abv video is one of my fav parts in the movie .. how nice it would be to be woken up with such a sappy love song ... me is soooo loving gong yul in the movie .. now if they actually have such men in real life ...

*note to self*

My Wool Sweaters .. my Fleece sweaters .. all gone .. have absolutely no idea where they all went .. sighz .. and I turned by wardrobe upside down .. bummer ... and I would not have felt so bad if not for the fact that I cannot wear the sizes found here in SG .. arghhhhhh

It's Christmas Eve

Only a few more hours to Xmas and I have this sense of anticipation .. wondering what Santa will bring me this year .. bwahahahahah ..

I dun have a Naughty or Nice List but I need to tell santa that I have been very very good .. almost angelic ( bwahahahah ... YES ... ANGELIC ... and ppl plis dun puke) ... so santa better bring me a present from the following stores :

1) Anything from the shop with the robin egg blue box
2) Anything from the shop with the brown paper bags with the name "Louis Vuitton" on it ..

Nothing else I want from anywhere ... bwahahahahah ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!!!!

What a Boring Holiday

Today's a holiday in Singapore and I spent it literally playing games and lazing ard .. Looked at my SB area and I am so wanting a bigger table and better organizational stuff .. too much stuff .. no mojo .. makes me room very very cluttered and un - inspiring ... I so want to scrap but ... there is no push factor to do it .. bleah indeed ..

Holiday Challenge and Gift Exchange

My goodness where did the time fly to ??? I just realised that it is almost time for the Holiday Challenge to end in the forum and also the gift exchange ... I am soooo dead ... SOOOOOO SOOOOO SOOOO SOOO Dead .....

A whirlwind of a weekend

The weekend passed in a blink of the eye... I sooo wanna turn back time. The wedding was a blast and it was soooooo lovely to see becky finally married. Cannot belive that all that planning and preparing was such hard work but to finally see it to the end was unbeliveable.

Was a great weekend of meetings and catching up with friends from all over, but the best was KK coming down all the way from KL to attend the wedding... immediately after a 8 day conference in Cebu ... kekeke he din even go home and come lugging all that dirty laundry .. keeekek .. I have not had rest since the wedding but it was all worth it ... meeting up with andrew who flew in from HK, Mark who came back from Fujian where he is based and also meeting up with jamie from Seoul... I absolutely love such meetings and gathering of old friends which makes me wanna go back to the time where there were only a few KMs between us... but now there is a few thousand KM between us and the long air travel time to consider... so such gatherings are soooooooo good for the soul..

I am heartened to know that althou we have not met up for the longest time, we can still fall back on old friendships and have the wackiest time ever. Althou we all look like our ages.. and some even with re-ceeding hairlines... heheeh Yes ... not going bald but receeding hairlines .. bwahhaahah .. but this weekend was the funniest ever .. why did we all have to grow up ??? I DUN WANNAAA GROW UP...

There are no photos because ..I simply did not take any ... not any that I think I could post .. was too bz "torturing" the brothers and stuffing my face with good food anyways... have to wait for Daniel to give me the photo of me in my gown thou .. bwahahahah .. yes .. NO PHOTOS .. ahaha

Well, I should be getting some rest pretty soon .. kekeke most of them have gone back home to their work and responsibilities but I am meeting up with some of the UNC gang this friday with Mark ..which is sooooo gonna be a blast again .. cannot wait .. till then ... work beckons .. *BLEAH*

Been busy helping my friend organise her wedding and also doing up the following stuff for them ... kekekeke .. some of you may know my frustrations when doing up the boxes .. bwahhah .. hard hard hard .. but is very pleased with the end results... :) Her Wedding is gonna be rather chinese.. thus the Anna Griffin Papers .. and lots of glitter .. and the traditional colors of reds and gold.. Me likey alot ..

Food for thought indeed.

Music for the soul

I have been downloading songs into my nano .. and Gosh ... Music is really food for the soul ... I have been neglecting my CD Collection for the longest time and with me loading my fav songs to itunes and listening to the songs without the TV brought me back to the time when I was in au .. staying at TEDS where i went without watching TV for 7 months.. bwahahahah (yes ... see I CAN LIVE WITHOUT TV). And the songs are songs which bring back MEMORIES... like the times they accompanied me thru MATHS ... and horrible subjects like legal studies ... blah .. and the times which Aaran and myself was blasting during the weekends like the PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES (whatever happened to that Grp) and waking drunks with hungover the size of Ozzieland.. not that it helped that we were also Half drunk battling hangovers with more booze .. oh the life of Hostel life... ME LIKEY ...

During Supper with J and KJ today reminded me that it was almost 10 years ago where we "chatted" with friends over TELNET and IRC-ing over the unix system .... kekek MIRC was not heard of till 97 my dears .. and the late nights chatting and "buaya-ing " we did (which brought me much joy and sorrows, Karma is really shitty I swear) and the friendship that still stands. OH how I wish I could really turn back the clock ... There are many friends I made over IRC which I wished I had made more of an effort to upkeep and maintaned .. Friends which have came and went .. but I really treasure the friends I Made during my years in UNI .. and still keep in contact ... So if you are reading this and know me ... and is still my friend .. U ARE THE BEST ... BFF ... bwahhaah see how cool me is now .. bwahahahah

The best thing that have happened to me recently would have to be the first msg I typed to KJ recently .. bwahaah .. that led to more messages and a dinner with the rest of the NC group and more dinners and coffee and chats and MAD MAD Stuff .. seriously .. like I was telling J .. I met KJ more times the last 2 weeks than the last 9 years ... bwaahahha after a whole good 9 years... hahah see .. if you are still on my MSN list (which alot of you peeps are... MSG MSG MSG ) ..I plomise no more long absences from these friendships ....

now ... it is seriously time to sleep ... 2 am is not very healthy .... not when B's wedding is 2 weeks away ... Me no wanna be a panda ..

Gosh

I have been loading songs into my ipod nano and I realised what OLD tastes I have in music...bwahahah ... seriously .. who at my age listens to dionne warwick and andy williams ... bwahahahahah ... I have the weirdest taste in music ..

Batam again

Went over to our nearest indonesian island yesterday with J and S ... and boy was it a fun day ....

We had so much fun shopping, doing our hair and basically chatting like old times (ie circa uni days ... )

These days , I have been kept busy meeting old friends and making new friends outside scrapbooking ... and Thank goodness for friends like KJ who is basically as mad as me .. wahahahahah .. we both can roam the streets doing nothing .. bwahahahh .. except eat ... which is goood for the soul but seriously bad for the body .... but good ...

Have to do this more often ... good for the soul ..

On another note ..

I have been feeling better recently ..been kept busy with B's wedding preparation and nothing more ... kekekek have not been scrapping for abit .. and slowing down participation in forums .. been out of touch with the scrapping world for quite abit .. so dun forget me so soon okay ?? I will be back .... soon .. :)

The Hunt....

for Chai Latte...

What was a harmless message sent at 5pm to KJ from Me that read ... Wanna have dinner ... became a hunt for Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves "CHAI LATTE" ( well it was supposed to be abbriviated but it would have read ... CB & TL .. gosh wat a horrible abbriviation rite ??? ) ...

Anyways ... Picked KJ up at his work place in bedok and we went for the YUMMIEST FRIED CHICKEN in the east at the Airport ...POPEYE's Fried chicken ... and a sudden craving for Chai Latte sent both of us searching for Coffee Bean ... and what do you know ... The 2 places we went (white sands and Century Sq) did not have one ... and what was supposed to be a short trip sent us all over the East to find one ... and alas ... no Coffee Bean ... but our back up plan was the Mc Cafe at East Coast ... which by then was 1 hour past the time we started .... And since we were heading to East Coast Parkway, we also picked up a 3rd party ... J ... bwahahahahaha ... so all 3 of us set out to find the elusive Chai Latte ... which was found ... OPPOSITE MC Cafe .... So KJ got his fix of Chai Latte and we gals went to have Waffles at Gelare .... woooopeedooo ... Here is the picture of the Super ELUSIVE CHAI LATTE....

Xanadu .... Wow .. this song brings back sooooo much memories .. and Hard to belive that it is almost 30 years old ... ALMOST .. I AM NOT THAT OLD .. Bleah ... but yes .. it was the SONG of my childhood ... this was the show that made me wanna Roller skate and be like ONJ ... bwahahaahah ... and the lyrics ... full of hope and joy for the moment and future ..

I have been changing ... slowly, some of you may have seen slight changes ... :) kekekeek ..

lyrics here ... compliments of Lyrics on Demand .... (God, I so love the internet... )

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu

And now
Open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu

A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Eternally

Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu

Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu

The love
The echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu

The dream
That came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu

A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Eternally

Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu

Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu...
