Completion of JFAC Prompts + Outfit Post

Finally, I have completed all my prompts from Journalling For A Cause class. I have also completed an exam today! Yay to completion! :D

 Prompt 26: Lessons Learned

I jotted down some of my learning points for this journalling class and I think it's kinda reflective of how I should work on my character, such as disciplining myself to not procrastinate and being secured with my own work.

Prompt 27: Something Different...

 This prompt challenges us to use a different material for journalling, something that we do not usually use. I chose crayons and indeed, it was as messy as I thought it will be. It was rather fun though, reliving those days in school when we were only allowed crayons for art classes. :)

Prompt 28: Goals

well, we were supposed to do September goals but since, I'm way behind, I decided to do goals for July! I'm really hoping to achieve every single one for them!

 Prompt 29: I should or should not...

I chose to look at this prompt differently and did a page on reminding myself to be contented with what I already have, instead of constantly thinking of what I want or should have in my life.

 Prompt 30: Closing Address

As simple as it sounds, it's 'The End' for now, but hopefully, not for long.

Catching Up On JFAC! (Prompt 18-25)

I know, it has already been a year and I'm still incomplete with my Journalling for a Cause's prompts. Anyways, after seeing how Janel has started another round of her 30 Day Journal Challenge, I am inspired to start working on my prompts again! :) 

Prompt 18: What's the Buzz?

I was so stressed about my first essay exam, especially since the textbook is super duper boring. I am embarrassed to say that I am still working on this particular module even though it has already been almost a year. :S

 Prompt 19: Who are you?

I did a page on how I have different roles that make up a unique me! :)

 Prompt 20: 100 things I Love

Whew! This page was exhausting to come up with, had me totally racking my brains. It was fun though, and I like how the page turned out. Don't you? 

 Prompt 21: Right This Second

I took the literal meaning of the prompt and drew myself working on this page. It didn't turn out very well though. I guess I need to work on my drawing of plane views!

 Prompt 22: Looking Forward To...

I was looking forward to our first year anniversary because we will be visiting the newly opened Universal Studios Singapore! Needless to say, I had a really fun time at the theme park. There was a slight hiccup at the end but that's another story...

 Prompt 23: The Unsent Letter

I took the opportunity to create an envelope out of a magazine page using a tutorial I saw somewhere back then. I decided to seal it up because I don't want anyone reading this. It's a very private letter that I wrote to someone that I will never ever meet. Well, at least I hope not. 

 Prompt 24: This past week

Looking at this page, I can't exactly pinpoint what I was feeling at that point in time. I guess I was having mixed feelings about my future with Sayang, and things were piling up from all different parts of our lives. Thank God we're much better and over the phase now. :)

 Prompt 25: Favourite Season

That will have to be winter! I guess it's because  we don't have it in Singapore, so I always enjoy winter when I am overseas. Christmas happens in winter and thus, the season of hope, love and joy, as well as lots of year-end sales! It's also the time when Sayang and I get to celebrate our yearly anniversary! I experimented with some cotton balls in this page and I like the outcome!

Hopefully I will be done soon and be able to start on the new 30 Day Journal Challenge. I can't wait! 

Journalling For A Cause - Prompt 15, 16 & 17

Prompt 15: 50 Random Facts

Whew, this page was a little difficult to come up with. It took quite a while before I have 50 random facts about me. It was fun though! :)

Prompt 16: A Pet Page

I don't have any pets at home, so I chose to feature my Sayang's family dog, Twinkle! She's such a beauty! I absolutely adore her! To do up this page, I explored with my printer and was delighted to get such good quality prints of Twinkle, despite the low ink warning. I decorated the page with stars simply because 'Twinkle' reminds me of the childhood song, 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'.

Prompt 17: Beautiful

I kept this page really simple and drew a pair of earrings I saw on my churchmate the other day. It had a simple design but I felt so enchanted by it. I almost had an impulse to search for something similar and make it mine. I know, I know, it's just a pair of earrings. I can't help it, it was BEAUTIFUL~

Thoughts & Journalling For A Cause pages

I have been so tired and lazy these few days, that all I wanna do when I get home, is to bath and sleep. Plus, I was on duty for SYOG (Singapore Youth Olympic Games). Reported at 10am and only managed to reach home at 130am the next morning. I'm still trying to recover my sleep. Hee. That say, I felt proud to have been part of the first ever YOG (and it's happening in Singapore!), despite not being able to watch the entire opening ceremony live. The fireworks were spendid though, very stunning, so beautiful when they light up the sky. :)

I'm really very behind in my journalling. I've only managed to complete these pages in the past week. Hopefully, I'll catch up soon.

Prompt 12's about 'Today', and I attended a teachers' day dinner themed 'Hats'. It was so fun, getting to see the different kinds of hats the teachers came up with. I wore a tiny 'hat' hairclip because I wanted to keep it simple. It's almost similar to the black hat that has a blue ribbon that I drew above. :)

Prompt 13's about childhood dream! I cut up a wristband to decorate the page and added in a photo of myself when I was really young. I've always wanted to be a police officer. I may actually sign on when I graduate next year!

I decided to keep this page really simple. The 5 things that were laying around:

1. leftover scrap of felt that's shaped like a star

2. plastic bag from 'mini.bits'.

3. pamplet from church

4. golden elastic band

5. clear plastic cover that has came off a book

Journalling For A Cause - Prompt 9, 10 & 11

Prompt 9: If they were to write a book about you, what would the cover look like?? I thought this was a really cool idea and really fun!! What would the cover of your biography look like? Who would it be written by??

I took a really long time to come up with this book cover, had no idea what to do for this prompt. In the end, I decided that I would want a book on my love story with Sayang. It's titled 'Overcoming The Odds', because honestly speaking, not many people approve of our relationship from the beginning. We're still trying to prove that we can last together, forever. If written, I hope this book's gonna be an inspiration to those who are in the same plight as us. :)

Prompt 10's about book list. I did a page on my favourite books, but halfway through, I can't seem to remember all the books I've read. I think it's time I start reading again, been really busy with schoolwork, that I tend to neglect reading. I miss reading story books, instead of textbooks...

Prompt 11's about 3 things I cannot live without. I chose to have the focus on the words and then doodle on the remaining space. The 3 things I can't live without :

1. My phone (so that I can stay connected with my loved ones, and have my daily night chats with Sayang)

2. Water (I actually prefer plain water over any type of drinks. I bring a waterbottle with me whenever I'm out)

3. My bed! (I love sleeping. My bed's my haven~)

I still have quite a few pages to catch up! I'm gonna miss the class chat because it's scheduled at 3a.m, Singapore time. :(

What Makes Me Happy :)

Receiving this super duper cute deer penpal letter in the mail!

Receiving my charms from the Charm Swap! (I thought they went missing!)

can you guess which is mine? Bingo! It's Winnie the Pooh again! ;P 

Taking random shots in the mall!

Working on my 'Journalling For A Cause' pages!

P.S. I'm still having a slight flu and bad cough. I can't wait to recover so I can eat all the goodies again! :(

Journalling For A Cause - Prompt 3, 4 and 5

I'm finally feeling well enough to work on my journalling pages. I'm still behind though by few pages though. :(

My pages:

Prompt 3's about altering a repeat image. This was a hard one, took me rather long to finally get my inspiration. I decided to draw multiple images of circles on my page and then alter them into something different, using colour pens, colour pencils and a cut-out. Simple but fun page. :)

Prompt 4's defining what happiness means to me. I actually did something similar before, in my own sketchbook. Right now, Happiness means spending time together with my Sayang. :)

Prompt 6's "It's all in the details..." and I chose to do a page on making a difference. It's the small, simple gestures that people do, that may not mean much to anyone, but will mean the world to someone who needs it. I'm someone who's big on impacting lives, so this page kinda describes what I feel. :)

Journalling For A Cause - Prompt 1 & 2

'Journaling For A Cause' started yesterday! I'm so glad to be part of Janel's wonderful class once again. She's trying to raise funds through for an adoption because it's really expensive. Go check out her blog and see how you can help her in making it happen. :)

My pages: 

The first prompt's all about a welcome page, with five adjectives that describe my life. I chose to be more creative in this class and used magazine paper, washi tape, stickers and random cut-outs, on top of my usual doodling with pens to do up this page. My page ended up as 'Welcome to my filled with love, pooh-beary, optimistic, wacky, unique life'.

Prompt 2's about setting journal goals. This was much easier and I kept it simple.

My journal goals:

1) Work on the prompts, everyday

2) Embrace my work and be satisfied with it

3) Be creative and adventurous

4) Have fun and enjoy the process of journaling
