Eat and Eat

Hello lovely readers. So long since the last time I updated! Sorry for that! One thing has changed about me. I've GAINED weight. Shit! Thanks to eating and eating and eating. Lately been eating a lot. I think I ate about 6 times a day. OMG..Fat..sobz. See how chubby my face now?


Let me share the yummy yummy food I ate




Hehe.. the fruit jelly I made myself! Yummy yummy. Aside from food, I also continue my DIY plan by making presents for my besty! I drew and colored the flowers. Out of the sudden I wanted to paint so much! 


Btw, let me update a little about my working life. I'm finally confirmed by PT. After confirmation, I am no longer trainee. I've decided to stay at Planning department as Planning Assistant Executive. Apart from that, salary increment is normal =) How much I can't reveal here but I am satisfied with the increment! My journey in PT does not just stop here. Since my HOD has resigned and another planner was promoted to be the HOD. after the promotion, many changes was done and I've come to handle much more difficult counters/customers/marketing personals. Haiz. However, I always believe that if we manage time well, do properly, then it won't be a problem. =) I must have faith in myself right? 

Anyway, so long for this time. Take good care

Love,
Grace

Celebration, DIY, Fashion, and Beauty Haul

Dear lovely readers and myself,

Lol, it's been sometime again since my last update. Seriously hating myself for lacking so much time for personal space to update. The fact is, working life makes you dull and tired of doing other things. Hehe..but anyway, weekend is the time for me to update and relax.

Last weekend was Mooncake festival. Unlike the previous years, this year I celebrated myself at KL. I played candles and lanterns by myself. The atmosphere was not as great as I expected though. Dull. I miss my family..='( Anyway, I lighted one message to my dearest hubby: " I Love U" 

Thank u darling for loving me all these while..U know I love u too!



Well of course, I can never let go of my DIY projects. Last post showed you all the paper roses but now, I am experimenting with satin ribbons instead. The outcome of this is good as well! =) 


I also tried DIY my own nail but doing Love balloon design! Cute or not?



After I posted so much of my DIY projects on facebook, i have been getting much request to make frames for them as well. The first person requested was my colleague's GF. She wanted a Hello Kitty photo frame design. Well, I don't know how to make those porcelain clay type design, so I use drawing, coloring, cutting, pasting method. Lately I was also very into 'Up' theme and hence, I combines Hello Kitty and Up. This is how the frame looks like!  




Salary is out! =) And what a girl can always, never resist is shopping. I shopped for two tops - a cardigan and also a tank top. Really love the color of the cardigan. Purple =) The price? RM29 for the cardigan and RM 10 the sleeveless top..



I also shopped for a perfume by Enchanter Paris-Non Amie. Seriously love the scent, it's sweet!



I also re-stocked my skin care product. Wanna try another night gelly and cleanser by Naruko. 



Well, so long for now. Today I'm gonna cook my hubby a delicious dinner..=)

Love,
Grace

New hobby and interest

Hello peeps! I know it's been a while since I last posted in my blog. Life after working is indeed busy and I'd sacrificed some of my personal time for work as well.. But then, I find that doing something I really love during the weekend gives me great satisfaction.. lately I've been picking up again on my DIY stuff. 


I love to use colorful papers for my artwork. I love roses. I mean which girls don't? Instead of buying real one, I prefer making roses which can last forever! Many versions of DIY roses available nowadays. I've tried making 3 types so far..


The first one involved cutting, folding and finally combining the layers with a wire. And I made it for my BF's convocation. The flower bouquet I made it myself.. Well the winnie the pooh not I made..the frame? Yes! Match my BF! Four eyes tortoise! =P


The second type is folding type. All I need is a long strip of color paper, and fold...and fold and fold around the stalk. Actually there are many videos available in YouTube and those interested can simply google it. I learnt it through websites! This one looks more alive and closest to the real one.



The third type of roses is the swirl type. This one is the easiest to make. You just have to draw swirl and then cut it on the lines. Then, roll the paper from outside to the center.. Haha..Don't und? Just google DIY roses and you can find lots of post on the process of making it!.

I love folding stuff and this makes me love to make stars as well! Making stars and putting it in bottle, wrapping them with beautiful transparent paper can transform it into a pretty gift.  


Many people DIY their hair accessories and out of nowhere, I made one for myself too! I find this is super adorable.Though I am too old for cute things but, who cares?!


DIY things don't just limit to daily usage items but to me, I love to make cards for special people during special occasions. It's all about my own creativity and my patience and effort. LOl, people said I am not feminine, but then knowing my skills in making DIY stuff shocked them! =P They say, I don't look like it! =.="

But the real fact is, I am good at this..Not to praise myself, but every single card I make for each person is fully customized based on their interest, character and things that make me remember them, or special to represent them! 


This is a christmas card I made for my BF last two years. Each triangle contains a single message for him..
You can see more cards I made for my dearest besties!



This is a pop out bday cake and the side is three little roses. I like the 3D effect!





Each time I make a card for one of my besty, I would capture all messages from other girls in my gang. The card is not fully from me, but from all of us! 

The other type I made is hanging card. Looks like ladder! LOL..






And now, the latest item I made is this photo frame. I will be graduating soon and to reward myself for the hardwork I spent for 4 years till I graduated, I want to customize and make one cute photo frame to put the first graduation picture in Leong family! 


It has a little scroll hanging with balloons, and the girl (me), reaching for it. It means I really work hard for it to reach what I have today. I've graduated! The roses? Neh, just because I love roses I included them inside! 

So, let me proceed to my next DIY project! Gonna make Jyn Ling a good luck wish card/ stand! 


Lots of love,

Grace
