What I Have Been Up To...

I realised that I am becoming rather lazy in updating my blog. I don't want to let it rot away though. So, I will still try to post as often as I can. :)

Last sunday, our family spent quality time together before we send this boy off to Army, to serve his national service and transform into a man! So far, he's doing well in his 2 weeks' confinement, been calling home every night to report that he's fine and alright (much to the delight of my mum). He's going to be back on the 19th, can't wait to see his botak head! ;P

I have been spending more time doodling and sketching these days, doing so makes me feel happy and inspired. Just to share a few, I came up with a version of :

Humpty Dumpty

and a hungry baby robot.

Then, we planned a surprise birthday party for my cousin, Winston, who's turning 21, at my eldest cousin's place. We spent time playing Xbox and enjoying each other's company. I think he was rather touched when we presented his gift (GUESS watch) and the cake. Sayang said Winston's eyes were watery.  I'm so happy that we managed to make his day! :)

The sad thing was, my camera's battery went flat before the actual celebration, so I wasn't able to capture the moments. 

my cute baby niece. :)

my grandma warming up to get ready for her bowling game. Isn't she lovely? 

I think she's getting more fashionable with her clothes these days. ;P

On top of all these, I spent time at Sayang's house last evening and took shots of his Doramon collection. He's a boy in a big man's body. Haha! 

I am wondering how his collections of Doramon and my collections of Winnie the Pooh can fit into our house in future. Guess we just have to find space. Giving away any of it is definitely not an option. I'm insistent like that. :P

Finally, my weekend ended with me satisfying my craving for the oh-so-yummy Chocolate Melts from McDonalds. You have to try it if you haven't! It's heavenly! :)

oozing chocolatey love. 

What's Been Keeping Me Busy...

Attending Suf's 21st Birthday Party,

A shot with the birthday girl :)

My present to her, the third shirt I designed for a friend. She loves it! :)

Attending ENCS' 'The Red Carpet', in appreciation of lifegroups and ministries,

with the girls.

On a sad note, my laptop has died on me once again! It's annoying that I can't have access to my own photos (grabbed the above from facebook) and data. On top of that, I've to share the living room's computer with my parents, which means I can only use it when they're not around. I wish my laptop will be revived soon!

Fish & Co.

I've started working on my special album for Sayang, for our 1 year anniversary! This is my first artwork, the logo of the restaurant we went to, on our first date. I had totally no idea he already liked me then. :)

my version of 'Fish & Co.'s logo

the actual logo

What do you think? I can't wait to start working on other parts of the album! I have to first tackle my exam that's happening this weekend though. :)

Fruitful Weekend!

Remember the charms? I managed to string them together with 3 strands of leather! I like how it turned out to be kinda edgy with a cute factor. :)

I was also tasked to design and draw shirts for my two of my lifegroup ladies, for their birthday celebration. Took me quite a while, having to first come up with the design on a sheet of paper, before transferring them to the shirts with a fabric marker. I added in details along the way. After which, I had to iron the shirt so that the ink will be permanent. Then, I washed the shirts and iron them again. I'm happy with the end products, so were my friends! It's actually the first time I'm designing shirts for others, so I felt really glad that they were well-received. :)

It seems like my posts are now more about my weekends. I certainly hope that I can manage to make my weekdays fruitful too!

Happy Weekend! :)

I'm finally back to blog again! The past week has been rather hectic, with me having another stomach upset and preparing for an exam. I foresee the weeks and months ahead to be even busier, with more assignments and exams to prepare for. That said, I still had a great weekend!

Firstly, after a long search, I finally found the perfect present for someone special! I'm gonna prepare my letter and mail it out soon! :)

Then I attended Wan Hsin's 21st Birthday party. I made her a birthday card and we got her $60 worth of Starbucks voucher! I hope that will make her a very happy birthday girl, considering the kind of Starbucks' fan she is.

I found some neoprints that we took a few years back and put some other random stuff together, to create her birthday card. It feels good to still be able to come up with something after so long. My brother thinks I do art like a primary school kid though. 

 

With the birthday girl. :)

Her theme was stripes and I chose something really simple to go along with. You're wondering why she's not in stripes? That's part of her plan, so that she will stand out. Really sly huh? ;P

My doorgift. She's such a sweetie, coming up with this, writing notes for each and every one of her friends who's gonna turn up. I love the star-shaped cookie! :)

To end the perfect weekend, I went for the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run this morning, in support for the prison inmates' second lease of life. I did the 6km run with Sayang. However, it was raining and I had stitches, coupled with gastric pain, so we ended up only running 2km or so, and walked the rest of it. It was great fun though. I felt really blessed, just holding hands with Sayang, laughing at his random jokes, on the way. It's almost like a dream come true. To top it off, the run ended with Milo vans on standby! I love Milo! :D 

Our race tags. The finisher medal was shaped like a key, symbolising the unlocking of the second prison. It's a really neat idea. :)

How was your weekend? I hope it was great for you too! :)

Cute Buddies, Drawing and Scrapbooking :)

Introducing my cute buddies...

Mr. Pooh Bear attached with mini Pooh Bear and mini Piglet, Flower Pooh and Ugly Doll! They share half of my bed with me every night. :)

(Ugly Doll's a gift from my cousins for my birthday. PoohS and Friend's from my beloved Sayang.;D)

Tweety accompanies me most of the time when I'm out. She has a black dot for a nose that I drew on her with ink, so that she can breathe! She's wearing a pageant banner which reads ' FAIRY TALES ARE TRUE'. She's a beauty.:)

(Tweety's a Christmas gift from a friend)

I was thinking of mushrooms when I drew this house, like in 'The Smurfs'. :)

my first attempt at scrapbooking. about having a sweet tooth and remembering to brush after all the sweet snacks.

( I don't have a sweet tooth, just suddenly inspired to do this.)

Happy Day!

I went to visit Min this morning! Finally, I'm able to talk to him for the first time since his accident. He's in good shape, energetic and very interactive. He started a new diet today, drinking milo and eating jelly. We're both glad that he can eat now, after 1 month and 1 day, according to him. He said that he has to undergo operation every Monday, to check if his stomach is recovering well and all. Can you imagine that? Every Monday! Ironically, he finds himself looking forward to it because it's the time when he can get a proper good sleep. Well, at least he looks so much better now, I hope he will recover soon! :)

Anyway, I took my camera out again today, after a REALLY long time. Below are some snapshots...

Teatime! I had mushroom soup at Cheeky Chocolate (Iluma Bugis). My sayang had banana milkshake. He seems to be craving banana a lot these days.

Then it was dinner time at Thai Express (Iluma Bugis) after playing at the arcade.

  

Glass Noodle in Tom Yum Soup with Seafood

 

Spicy Chicken in Basil Leaves with Rice

 Prawn Toast

Dessert! Steamed Tapioca with Coconut Cream/milk

I don't know if you've tried Thai Express at any other outlets but I would strongly recommend Iluma Bugis. The food is tasty and the service is EXCELLENT! They make you feel at home and are ever so polite. It's my second time visiting this outlet. I enjoyed excellent service the first time round too. I don't know about you, but I love places with excellent service so I will definitely be returning for more!

To end a wonderful day...

I drew this while waiting for food. The drawing at the bottom's of my sayang when he's finishing up the Tom Yum soup for me. He literally rained. Haha! ;P

Repentance Letter...

I agreed to do something today for someone, without giving much thought. When I told my sayang about it, he got pretty upset and sorta scolded me about not thinking about myself before agreeing to it. To be fair, I might end up in financial difficulties, especially since I'm still studying and have no income. So to redeem myself, I did a simple card for my sayang. Hope he will like it. :)

Drawings I did over the years...

no idea how this image came about but the end result resembles someone I knew, scary.

I was thinking of potholes and tors when I drew this, so geographer. ;D

my love, HOCKEY! [baik = good (in malay)]

:)

design I came up with, that is now incorporated onto one of my shirt. ;)

random

fashion look put together by me.

random portraits of people

look what hunger has done to me. hehe;P

I love babies! can't wait to have my own! ;D

paintings I did when I was in school.

Hope you enjoyed my drawings!
