Newly done ~

I told ya I'm excited to blog... lol... I manage to "force" myself to scrap a layout! Alison must not procrastinate anymore! Lotsa things to do! (or play)



First Layout..




details...

 I tried to use Distress Ink I just bought and make the white paper "old age".. but I think I dint get it successfully... I think I should have you brown paper instead... Then I punch out the blue flower and layer it, add a pearl in the middle and glitter the petals... ^^

I even tried to emboss the side, but I guess my "embossing stick" dint work well.. lol.. cos it wasn't visible..  

-__-"

Yes, I am too "kiam" to buy those fancy-ready-made-expensive flowers imported from the USA.. at least, not yet.. And I know even if I bought it, I "sayang" to use them and in the end it'll be hoarded.. T_T

I also should have used some fancy papers instead of solid brown T_T.. but I bought like a stack of them!! And I promise myself to finish them and those plastic holders I bought before venturing into 12"x12" Perhaps next time I should layer the background also.. hmmm..




More details added..

 The layout was too empty, and hubby thinks so too, so in the end, I added more pictures of him with funny poses.. I dont quite have any idea how to "masculine" the layout, so I made borders using smaller flower punchers. I tried using just straight cut borders but it was too boring.. must utilise my punchers.. mwahhaha! Oh yeah I have a few flower punchers and it will be even more as time goes by~ Im planning to get more border punchers, scallop punch in different sizes (so I can more more different sizes of flowers) round punches, larger flower punches (largest now is like 1") larger heart punchers... With punchers, I cant repeatedly punch a pattern out again and again, anytime, anywhere.. at least I wont be "sayang" to use them.. hehe...

I know Im hoarding too much punchers.. Until I can afford a die-cut machine that's it! :D (cost at least RM800 for starter kit!!)

Painstakingly stuck them one by one with tweezers and added glitter glue in the middle.. ^^

I some how have repeatedly printed lotsa similar pictures, in different sizes.. which I now regret and learnt my lesson..

At times I wish to get my own photo printer so I can print whatever I want, anytime.. no need to go to the shop to develop pics.. Then again.. I HAVE NO SPACE!!

I'll make sure I have my craft-cum-study room in my future house.. haha

finished product ^^

I know right! more flowers !! hehe.. trying to stick to a pattern and color theme? :P

this time its blinged with diamante..

*note to self - buy more bling-bling @ different sizes! :D

I've Decided

to not open a new blog... just blog my "crafts" here! :D I mean, since i no longer/hardly travels anymore, there might be nothing much to blog... so.. yea.. :)



This was my first trial on crocheting.. those single crochet, double, round...





Then I decided to paint my nails for CNY...



and my leopard nails.. :P

I bought some manicure pens from the pharmacy in New York.. now I regret I dint get all available colors.. only hav black and white.. but its not cheap. USD 8.99 before tax O_O"

This is my first attempt at scrapbooking..

I wanted to scrap for a very long time, and hubby actually agreed to it, bought some stuff to scrap, but then due to work and procrastination, it was delayed for like more that 1 year... :P

I printed some Tioman photos during our first trip for some time... Kinda simple, photos.. and stickers.. And being an amateur, I bought lotsa A4 cards to scrap, not knowing pro-scrapbookers uses 12"x12" for more space..







2nd attempt..

 Flowers were bought from some shopping trip long ago.. (imagine how much stuff I have hoarded) Now I'm thinking to improvised this flowers by putting some blink in it.. ;)

The borders were some tape I bought from a London museum's souvenir store.. Imagine how long has that been? Its like I never fly to London more than 2 years already! And I remembered its was early in my flying career cos I only visited London museums in my first 2 flights.. Cost me a BOMB then for that roll of tapes. 10 pounds = RM70 then.. O_O! 

nice huh?

 This was a RM80 class I joined last Feb 15. To make a mini album. This box was purely made from new tin case that now had been tinted with alcohol inks and embossed to look like a rusty treasure..

This 1 class made me learnt a lot on embossing, tinting, crackle painting, embelishing and even stamping... ^^

There is a mini album inside...

3D

Lots of details in the making..

Took 4 hours to make this thing! It's an album and you can put own picture inside but since its a class, pictures were replaced by vintage models..

Nice huh? :D

Necklace I made myself... :D

I saw this similar necklace selling online (OU? Martha?) and it was USD100++! So I thought I can try to make 1.. Bought some beads online, tho it was kinda tough to find similar beads,so I got what I can :)

Heheh.. its definately a lot cheaper that buying the original! But being first time beading such a large thing, the handiwork isn't as nice ofcourse! (all hidious knotting hidden behind!) :D

There's like a whole list and pictures of I want to do things in my folders! And now, Im kinda focused on crocheting.. cos I saw this new item selling in a scrapbook store, its doillies made from crocheting and they are selling it at RM12+ for a piece (I think, for some 4" size) and I thought, I can always learn how to crochet and make it myself... Its a lot cheaper compared to purchasing, and I can make and use as much as I can as a roll of thread is really alot. Its just a matter of my patience to dealt with.. :P

Cos I do have this bad habit of NOT WILLING to use whatever I bought.. I feel "sayang" to use them.. :P So making it myself I can always remake them! :D Will definately post what I had done soon! :D

Oh! Im so into blogging now! Like I have so much to share! :D Perhaps it was the long hiatus that made me wanna blurt everything out now! Or maybe Im too bored at home.. lol!

So that's it for today, perhaps I should take some pictures of stuff I hoarded and show you guys! haha!

Im Back! :D

Im back! Trying to blog! LOL...  though it might not be having much pictures anymore.. cos i got lazy in photographing.. and much pics are in FB, and im on a "long holiday"

hehehe.. Yes.. i WAS pregnant...

WAS...

Cos I just had a miscarriage bout 2 weeks ago.. my darling baby, sex still unknown, heartbeat just bloody stop pumping at 9.1 weeks. WTF.

was planning to collect more ultracans pics so I can scrap an album out in the future wtf..

Of course im sad! but then the crying and moaning had pass... except some days where i'll see some pregnant woman passing or cute babies on strollers and me staring at them.. :(

This blog is also back open to public, well, I shifted some "p&c" post to my other personal blog, that blog that only hav my frust and heartache or stuff i just dont like to share with much public.. hehehe..

So a little refreshment on what happened during those hiatus months.. let me see........

Flew back for like 1 month + before I knew I was pregnant and stop again @ Dec 2010. Then Christmas and CNY was coming, me just thought I'll sit at home and prepare for celebrations, no need to frust I wont be home.. hehe..




Xmas 2010

CNY / Valentines Dinner



CNY day 1 in Genting.. That's why im donning a jacket..
My last A&F investment before I stop flying again.. haha :P

 Celebrating with a "new" family this year, it sure is different.. like no more daddy's tradition of CNY music playing all month long and extremely over CNY decos at home.. So in this new home I actually am the lively person trying to make decos and buy decos (of course, im not working, all paid my Mr Lee.. lol) While MIL keep making lotsa CNY cookies and I help a little.. (well I cant wake up at 5am and help her right, by time im awake she's 90% done)



I made this 100% Chick Biscuit
No, there's no chicken inside, just a name...
"Kai Chai Beng"



Fried "ngaku"



Pineapple Biscuit, purely 100% homemade (including the fillings)



Almond cookies

 And much more...

Spent 1k in angpau giveaways... thanks to Mr Lee's extremely big extended family and friends (he got like 5 aunts and 5 uncles from mum's side and all have 2-3 kids -_-" ) and our first year hav to give double angpaus.. lol..

Then a week after CNY, found baby's dead, and had a D&C.. and a 2 weeks confinement period.. need to "bou" my uterus.. lol..

I have not yet inform KE... hmm

In my state of mind now, I've decided to quit Korean Air. Well, it is perhaps too long holiday previously, or KE just changed too much, during my 1 month+ working, I found myself dragging my butt to fly..

You see, im considered a "senior" now and having no bussiness class code yet, perhaps due to my performance record (I dont kiss butts and had a 3 mths ill leave) no code offered to me yet. So I dont mind working in EY, just that I hate that senior duty they gave me, but yet I cant do it MY WAY! Everytime I need to do something, I'll have to ask the AP's permission, and need to be alert of her style! and nowadays, those new juniors has no more respect to us foreign crews anymore!! Just hate it.

Other reasons are away from home, lonely trips, same destinations, no career advancement.. bla bla bla..

After all I believe 3.5 years is enough.. need to find some other ways to advance my career? You see, I cant depend on KE, anytime by 2013 my contract wont be renewed, and Im done. Futhermore, Im not the only one. The management had been terrible this 2 years that 60% KL crews quit (havent count other bases) even 16 years seniors quit! What am I to not??

I'll definately miss travelling to USA and shop cheaply, I'll miss wearing winter clothings and boots.. I'll miss Frankfurt's coffee machine, the boot shop selling affordable, nice, comfy, stylish boots, the craft shop and chocolates... I'll miss Hawaii beautiful sceneries and outlet shopping, I'll miss Korea too! the food, groceries, cosmetics, shopping... I'll miss winter... I'll miss sleeping in 5 star hotels and free saunas, definately miss that bath tub in korea!! Tho im not fretting cos I'll die die get a bath tub in my future home! hehehe...

I already miss Amazon shopping.. T_T

Haha, this is what I promise myself now: I will save lotsa $$$ and go travel as much as I can, atleast to places I dreamt to go, afterall, AirAsia is expending.. la la la~

**************************************

Oh im itching to open a new blog about me and my craft.. Have been a bit mad in purchasing and surfing online reading other people's blog bout scrapbooking.. And tho I have been procrastinating a lot, I did some beginer's crocheting, a little scrapbooking (2 page so far, hope I'll get my butt up and do more) and a little beading..

Getting a new blog open so I can organise my craft there and personal blog here.. hmm.. shall I? hehehe..

Orite! Think Im done for the day! Blog again soon I guess?? hehee..

Life of a married couple...

What do they do? also movie, dinner, shopping? what else that is exciting that a married couple can do? Something to perk some fun in?

No im not bored of married life.. hello.. how long i just got married?? but I do feel old and a little frustrated by thinking what to do... especially for weekend..

I love weekend, cos we can both sleep in (I somehow dont feel comfortable to sleep in late during weekdays when Henry is off work.. I wake up aroudn 9.30-10am.. ) I love to go out.. but when going out means nothing but stress and unhappy mood, I feel going out is a chore... if u know what I mean..

Everyone goes out on weekend.. shopping, malls, movies.. this equals to jam everywhere.. weekday jam, working hour jam, weekend also jam.. it make going out a chore. When Mr Lee face traffic jam.. he start cursing.. I HATE WHEN HE DOES THAT.. I feel like he hates going out!

But he's the one who feels weekend is a waste if dont go out.. he is the one who ask me to go out.. he is the one who ask me where to go.. I wanna go buy a printer.. but he said no place to put... since here in bukit bintang ady.. again ask me where i wanna go.. I suggest go sungai wang but there's nothing I can do there going there with him cos he always show me a "sien" look when I go into a shop just to look see.. and another "sien" look when he's leg is tired from a little walking (no matter he's wearing light weight shoe, or slipper, his legs get "sour" very fast! ) or another "sien" look when I really bought something..

I just dont dare to buy things infront of him! not cos he'll scold.. I rather if he scold.. but he give me words that I dislike hearing.. like buy la buy la, i no eye see ady! or please save ur $$.. money hard to find... now ure not working... bla bla bla.. and im sure he'll say that dont i have enough shopping in taiwan?

also there's no space at all in my wardobe.. T_T and I need to get some space to hang my uniforms soon.. T_T..

Somehow, after everyone knows you're married, they hardly come disturb you or invite you out. They expect the married couple have many other things and plan to do or wanna spend time together... I rather have more outgoing friends atleast to pass time talking and chatting..

Maybe because Im not working now, I feel there's not much topic for me to talk about.. We both have laptops and we just each wanna have alone time surfing the internet.. Even when we are out in cafe.. we dont talk much but facing our own laptop.. doing out own things online.. and its so noisy out there... just cant talk much can we?

And Henry rather hide in the room all day then going into the living room to relax and watch some tv.. (or when he do, only the freaking boring sport chanel) Im not sure does he still feel this house is not his? While he hide in his corner surfing the net, I, who doesnt own a corner, (or hell, my corner are too full of my stuff to hide me) I am the "laptop nomad shifter" sit a while on bed, sometimes on floor, sometimes my dressing chair.. sometimes the living room.

Speaking of privacy.. apart from hiding in the room, there's no privacy elsewhere.. cos I hate when people ask me what am I doing.. or while im enjoying doing something, people cut me off by talking and asking.. which if i dont answer, i feel rude.. like how I hate when henry does that..

Which also come into the topic (or my other lame reason) why i've yet to be able to do my scrapbooking, blinging, knitting, beading... cos there's no space in the room and no privacy in the living room.. haih.. no table for me to do work

I want my own home! Home where I can have my own wardrobe, my own table and racks, a nice cool garden for me to sit, relax with a cuppa and read books!!! If Henry did buy that condo.. how nice... if Setia Alam is not so freaking far.. how nice! I could have been living in my own home, doing my things, my way.. A HOME where I can do a little amateur gardening.. I already feel zen... haih..

Henry keep saying wanna keep those $$ and start a bussiness.. but TWO years! and yet nothing had been done.. and $$ getting little cos we keep spending it.. he also wanna wait for next year when housing $$ goes lower and get a house.. I just feel frust sometimes cos I cant wait!!! This little room and condo is too full of people and other people stuff to have my stuff around!! argh!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!

I just have so much to complain about.. and there's no one I could talk to cos Im afraid other people will say im childish, not understanding.. or my married life is not bliss.. :( I dont wan that!

And I dont understand.. why I can take my time to go help henry when he need something from me while when I want him to see something he takes his time? I feel unfair.. eg: he doing maybank credit card payment and need my help and I was surfing and he give me this "tsk" (cicak call-irritate way) and I have to quickly go help him or he'll be very dissapointed that i have no heart to help my own husband.. only care my own stuff.. but when I ask him to see d room or rates in japan (he ask me to search and I have to do it like asap) and he took a lil time finishing his game before coming to see??? I hate that!

And when Im just kidding dont let him scoop my taufufah and he became no mood cos I dont share? I was just kidding!!! I dont understand why is the unfairness?

2 things come at once

I dont know... Olivia Ong's music is making me tear.. But Im not sure what tear is this? Tear cos I lost my baby? or lost my plan? or feelings im still thinking from the book i read??

I finish reading 3/4 of a book today. Trying to immerse myself into the story and not think. I finish the book I started. Finally. For a long time. I can tick a check box for finishing a task I wanted to do during this 3 months holiday.

I've yet to scrap a single piece of photo I printed. I've yet to learn how to knit. I dint start on the bead I bought for my jewellery making. I dint stick a single bling to my psp or nintendo yet. I dint do any nicer pedicure for me yet.

What have I been doing so far? I think i've forgotten.. and I have no idea where to start...
