You will find a lot of fun and amazing ideas to do with with your washis..!!!

Preparing for a short trip & Natt’s May Giveaway
May 21st, 2012 § Leave a Comment
I’m so excited about June!
Besides that it’s my favorite month, this also going to be our first short trip with Michael! YAY!!
It’s not a really far destination tho, only took 50 minutesby plane, but this will be Michael’s first trip, first time on aeroplane 
I hope eerything will be going just fine. Nervous but excited at the same time. I’m planning on making a mini album for this trip. I might be using one of Amy Tan’s mini/day book or make a new one from my stash, we’ll see how it will go.
I’ll be using either these two :
I plan to go see my friends, visit my husband’s friend who’s going to give birth at the end of May, going to our favorite eating place, and lots of other things.. So, I will be expecting to get a lot of photos. *fingers crossed* so I will have a lot for the mini album and project life.
Speaking of mini album, I just visited one of the blogs that inspire me everytime, is Natt’s blog. She just posted her recent made mini album, it’s about a trip with his husband (yup, guilty! I’m inspired to make Michael’s mini is because of this post). It’s so fun! And what I like is, her husband always ready to be taken photo of.. Mine sometimes don’t want, hahaha.. (I hope he didn’t read this or be mad, haha..)
She also has some giveaway that I think will be perfect to be put in a vacation album or layout. I love the chevron mask, although I’m still learning really. This gift will be awesome to be added on our mini trip album.

time: 09:58 pm
location: my old room at my parents’s house
weather: 20° celcius, showed on the air conditioner remote
eating: just had chicken mushroom soup
drinking : water (just took a breastfeeding suplement)
loving: my little boy sleeping’s face
wondering: how long I can breastfeed my baby
enjoying: typing on my ipad while curling under the blanket 
thinking: of my husband
waiting: for 12 pm to wish him happy birthday
I stayed at my parent’s house since yesterday, because my husband and his family are having a short trip to Malaysia. Don’t think of him being mean because of leaving me and Michael home alone.. It was I who encouraged him to go.
Actually, we bought the ticket around a year ago from Air Asia, it was on sale. We weren’t expecting at that time. So now, the things are a bit different with Michael being here, so I decided not to go.
I told my hubby to just go, accompany his parents and help his little sister arranging things there.. But don’t forget to bring home some goodies for wifey and little son here, haha..
I miss him, tomorrow is his birthday and we have a surprise for him
I’m going to bed now since baby Mikey is asleep, haha..
Nite all.. Sweet dreams..

You don’t need to change other people; you can change your reaction to them.
When you choose to feel good, you are not dependent on other people acting in certain ways to make you feel good.
Before you can attract people who will support, appreciate, and acknowledge you; you must choose to do that for yourself
A quote for a reflection, I think.
Sketchbook 4
April 2nd, 2012 § Leave a Comment
I was thinking about it until the last day to register..
Since I start to scrapbook or actually like scrapbook, I have never join a class, either it is online or actual ones.
I wanted to though, it must be fun to learn new things and techniques, and also meeting new friends. But the timing is never right. I live in a small city and really, I’m serious, we don’t have even a single scrapbook store here. I bought most of my supplies online.
So, as I’m already introduced to Studio Calico, I love it!!
I love their kits, love their products, love the DT, and just everything about it. One thing that annoys only the time difference, that most of the time, made me lose a chance to get all the good stuff, like the Awesome clear stamp. I want it so bad, if anyone has it and intend to sell it, please let me know. :-p
This April, Kelly Purkey, one of my favorite scrappers is having a class on Studio Calico, Sketchbok 4.
I was confuse whether to enter or not, I’m afraid I won’t have time.. but then, it is said we can still access it anytime and the .pdfs are downloadable, so I decided to follow, YAY!!
I’m so excited. This will be the first online class I ever follow. I hope I can actively participate
I have piles of scrapbook supplies calling.. they want to be made into awesome memorable layouts. Wish me luck!
I Miss Going to Movies
March 31st, 2012 § Leave a Comment
It’s been a while since the last time I went to movies..
oh well, just a few days before I gave birth, but it feels like a long time already.
You see, in Chinese culture.. after a woman gave birth, she should stay at home for at least 40 days straight. They say that’s because after giving birth, the bones and body have become vulnerable. So you have to stay at home, eat and drink warm meals, wear sandals at home because the floor sometimes are cold and it is said to have effect to the bone. Sometimes you even forbid to wash your hair, they say it will make you have headache at old age. I did some of those things, but I wash my hair at the 2nd week, just couldn’t stand it, haha..
I did go out though.. to the doctor, baby shop and supermarket to buy the baby’s and my needs and that’s all about it. I miss those time when I can go out with my husband and friends. And I miss going out to movies most, especially with so many movies coming out lately..
Here are the movies I wanted to see.. maybe not at the time being, I’ll wait till the HD is released
The Lorax
The Vow
The Hunger Games
They’re playing in the movies now.. can’t wait

Thank you so much for everyone who has join the blog hop and Jessy for making it all happen.
By the way, I’m sorry for a quite late announcement. I’m still juggling with time, haven’t been able to manage the time between taking care of my baby boy, house works and scrapbook-ing. Even my PL is still abandoned on the table in my scrap corner :-p My baby occupied most of my time, but I’m having fun with him
I’m still keeping notes on the weeks tho.. to make it easier when I finally have the time to catch up on my PL, which I hope will be soon
Ok then , have a great day everyone!

You are My Sunshine
February 13th, 2012 § 2 Comments
The challenge Natt‘s holding inspired me to make a layout of my mother and me.
The challenge is to “Add Sunburst on Your Page”
My mum is my sunshine. She’s always there for me..
The full page.
Closer look..
I added a little mist.. hehe, this is my first time using mist.. I hope I did it right
Closer look from front side..
I’d like to write more, but I have to go to the hospital now.. haha..
Just went to the doctor and he said I can stay in the hospital tonight, get some treatment and see tomorrow if I can give birth to my baby normal way or caesar. I hope I can give birth to him normally though.
Please pray for me, friends
Have a great night!
