September

It's a depressing month for me. I hope that everything will be better tomorrow.

The first incident in this month that depressed me was being ignored by a friend who I thought share thoughts and opinions with me, a person who had came into my life to keep me accompany when I'm in need. But this person is not there for me anymore and I have no idea why.

The second incident was being compared with a beloved decease friend and being labeled as an ungrateful person tears my heart apart. Perhaps the person who utters all those things does not mean this but the way the words are uttered makes them send those messages to me. “You are incomparable with this person and you are so ungrateful”

Third incident was, this year I realize that I had not much true friends left around me. Or to say it in another word, I don’t have much true friends all this while. The only bunch of friends who wishes me and really care that “hey, it’s your birthday” was getting lesser this year. I’m a bit lost thinking where have those friends gone?

    The fourth incident was I had to change my tire because someone put a 2 inches long nail on the road and puncture my tire. It causes me to dig out the little money that I had to change a new one.

     The fifth incident was after all these things happened yet I had no one to talk to. Even if I have they can’t seems to help much. It is still up to me to work them out. Frankly, I’m tired of being alone doing handling all the stuff good and bad that happened to me. I’m going crazy.

    The sixth incident was I lost my beloved tissue holder while eating in a café. I search for it, ask around but no one seems to notice that small tissue holder. It’s handmade by my sister and it’s one and only that you couldn’t buy anywhere. I had been using it for 5 years and now it’s gone. Someone took it without asking.

    This list can go longer with those entire bad incidents that happened to me this month but these are the major one which really depressed me and squeeze the tears out of my eyes. It’s really a bad month for me. I wish that something nice will happened to me soon. A real nice thing.

Paper clay craft

I was looking through my old boxes and found these little trasure of mine. These little cups are made from paper clay. I coloured them and filled them up with candle. They are 3.5 cm tall with 2cm diameter. These little treasure are old made them like ermm...10 years ago. I made a lot and gave them to my friends but these were few that left(in bad condition). I did made some key chain out of the same paper clay, didn't left any of them. Gave them all away and were very delighted to do so.

Handmade recycle stamps book

Stamps book cover

 Inside stamps book

I made this stamps book for my stamps collection years ago (about 12 or 13 or more years ago). I found it while searching through my old cupboard. Anyone out there still collect stamps? I wonder...ehem...I still do. It tooks me a lot of time to make this stamps book because I need to cut the pieces of card board into the same size (I use recycle cardboard) plus cutting and arranging the stamps pockets on each page and finally glue them together into a book. The glueing part is not as hard as the cutting part. But I'm statisfied with the product. hehehe...(^.^)

I love making stuff when I'm free. I remember I made a few diaries from my old school exercise book (which I feel wasted if I throw it away for recycle, so I recycled them my own way). I cut out the unused pages and stick them together into one book. I made 3 out of the scrap papers. My diaries are real thick because I like thick books. hehe...I write a lot back then but not so much now. I can't show you all the diaries because it was in a bad shape now, there was a flood one year and the water rose real high eveything in my house were gone so there goes my diaries.

 

Hope this recyle stamps book inspire you to create something nicer than mine!!

My sundress

These two are my sundress. I bought it haha...If only I could sew them with the cloths I bought few weeks ago. It would be nice.Waiting for the day to come.

How to enlarge your shoe!

I bought this pair of shoes last week. Its the last pair in the stall, its a bit tight though my foot could fit in but I bought it anyway coz I like the color. I did something to make them fit better. Since this shoes is make of plastic leather, it will get softer and could be pull larger when its hot. So I use my hair dryer to blow it until its soft enough, then I stuff in lots of paper to enlarge it. Then set it to cool with the paper in it so that the shape stays that way after its cold. I did this for a few times and the shoes could fit me nicely after that.  I have to be careful when doing this becoz it gets really hot when its soft.   

Of course its not avisible to wear shoes which are tight for your feet but in my case I just can't resist it so I use this method to enlarge it. You could try this method incase the shoes you like is a bit tight for your foot.

my friend said

My friend told me the other day that one of her friend said this:

"I'm such a wonderful person to know, but what people see on me is how I wear and ...."

From a book I read today!

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
page 50, line 8-9, the five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom

Another set of cloths

Here are another 5 pieces of cloths I bought but still I haven't decide what to do with it. Thinking of some tube dresses and skirts. The problem here is I never sew a dress before so I'm afraid might spoil these nice cloths.

My new set of cloths

I saw all these cloths in the shop...they were so pretty...hawaiian style print and bright colour the way I like it so I just take them all but I haven't figure out what to do with them. Any idea? perhaps with some pattern and how to sew them. (^.^)

I read somewhere...

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others, for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone

-Audrey Hepburn-

Characteristic

How we respond to a situation shows our character. The same situation given to different people would end up with different outcome. This does not shows that one is incapable of handling a situation but it shows that different people have different justification for the same situation. There are a lots of principle exist in this world, its up to the people to choose which principle they want to follow and this create different characteristic people!

The reader

          Recently I watched a movie titled "The Reader". It's so touching. If love like this exist. It's about a boy, not just a normal naughty boy, but a boy who is briliant and from a respected family in the age of 15 fallen in love with a lady twice his age who could be his mother. The story was just so romantic.
          Every time they both meet, the lady will ask the boy to read for him before they make out. The lady get so touchy whenever the boy read her story from books. One day the boy took her for a trip some where, planning everything for both of them on the journey. They stop by at a place to eat, the cafe owner told the boy "hope your mother enjoys her meal" and look at them with suspicious look. This is where I like the boy so much hehe...... He told the owner "yes, I'm sure she is" and he walk to the lady and kiss her in front of the owner. Wow! imagine a boy with a man bravery. Would my man do this to save me from the eyesight of disgust stranger? hopefully he would.
          The boy is really in love with this lady but with hesitant this lady draw back and went away to another place leaving this boy stranded with his feeling...in pain for her love, groping to live on without her. Until 8 years passes and they met again in a court trial for her crime and the boy as a law student observing the nazi crime trial. Then the story starts again...
          People who like love story, please grab this movie. It will be a nice romantic one.

Lesson no. 4

          Recently met someone interesting. He is not handsome, not highly educated and I don't even know who he is. But we start to contact often . I mean everyday and night for a month now. I start to like the way he talks to me.          
          In my mind I'm asking is this guy falling in for me or what? Well, I'm thinking about this guy often too. Each time I start to think of him he will contact me. Is this call mind wave? Am I connected to him? Things might have been gone too far...this is just my thought, nothing but my perception. This guy is not falling for me...he is trapping me into falling for him as a game.
          I don't know who he is betting with, perhaps someone I knew that hated me so much and send him to prank me because yesterday is due 1 month I met him, and he is not the same anymore...he is reluctant to reply message, did not call at all. Did not even reply my message at night. Well, this brings me back to lesson no. 4, Never trust the first sentence the guy says that he likes you (that's not love, they are just baiting you with words) 
          Guys like to play with girls psychology. I trust too easily, perhaps I will never know who is up to with this prank. But he made me remember that guy who ask his friends to video tape me and him during my first meet up and scolded me badly for I found out what he did to me.
          Perhaps someone up there is playing with my love life. Sending me into lion mouth everytime I need some care and love.

Vintage pattern book

Recently found my moms old sewing pattern book. Its vintage style. Very pretty. I love those pattern but I cant sew it myself so what I did was I went to my taylor and ask if she could sew me those pattern. She could so I proceed to choose cloths that I want and I had sended those cloths to the taylor. Let's see the outcome in 2 more weeks. I can't wait for my first vintage dress to come out. Hopefully it turns out as nice as the picture in the sewing books.

Few things I learn from people around me.

I have so many types of friends or urm should I call them acquaintance? Well, what I learn from them were:
1. Always mind your own bussiness (or else you will get into trouble)
2. Never try to go near someone who try to use you (you may get the poisonous strike)
3. Always trust the first sentence the guy says about what he doesn't want and doesn't like(that's the boundry they make with you)
4. Never trust the first sentence the guy says that he likes you (that's not love, they are just baiting you with words)

Out of my free time!

Been thinking a lot lately and been away from this block for a while. Now I have so many things to share, my thoughts mainly and my experiences. Shall place all my thoughts and expereinces into little little topics so you can choose to read whichever sounds interesting to you. Hopefully this can ease your boredom and not to bore you. Ehem...ehem...

If I own a house, I want it to have a sewing room, gym with wall of mirror, reading room with comfy chair, kitchen well equipt, bedroom with soft bed and wardrobe big enough to keep all my cloths, bathroom with a hot shower, living room with a big sofa and big window looking to the green garden full of flowers. (^.^) can?

Other people problem...

Sometimes when you are living in a society, you can't stop yourself being label or sort into groups of people. You might wonder why this happened. But then you just can't help it, people just group you up. Alright, then issues strike one of your group members, guess what...you're were one of the group member and you're involved too. Either you like it or not you will be drag into the hell others creates. You might get scolding out of a sudden, you might get into a sudden blame or worst ignored and denied of your right just because you were one of the group member. What can you say about this...nothing...coming to the worst, good things that your group members had done won't be acknowledge as yours but only blame and issues. This is the world, so when you are trying to get into a group think twice.
