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

My dog, My Family

Today I would like to post about my dog. My dog is just a normal stray dog named SiSi. This name was named after another dog at my dad's fish farm. The older dog was very obedient and very cute as well. My dad said older SiSi was a very good dog and really obedient. Then, another bitch (female dog) at the fish farm gave birth to 5 little puppies. Three of the puppies were having short fur while the other two were with longer fur. My family's SiSi is one of the long-fur puppies. She was the cutest among all the puppies when she was young. Back then, I remembered my dad and mum telling me that there was one little puppies extremely cute at the farm. So, out of curiosity, I visited dad's fish farm and when I saw the puppy, I was delighted and begged my mum to bring her home. She promised me and my siblings that we can bring her back every friday and keep till sunday for dad to bring back to farm. My mum said we cannot keep the puppy around during weekdays for fear that we pay too much attention playing with her till forget studies! =D

Haha..Just as expected, we were thrilled playing with new puppy and we spent so much time thinking where to allocate her in our house. On her first day here in our house, we have to go out for dinner. As we were afraid that she might be lonely outside, we tied her at the coffee table in the house and when we came back, she was turning around the table trying to free herself..=) She was super adorable back then. Can never forget that. Every week when she came to our house, we would bathe her and feed her. To be honest, she was the most obedient dog ever. Even when she was puppy, she would never cry at night for milk or for her mummy. I still remember back then that we used big cardboard to build a so-called house for SiSi, but the next day when we woke up, the house was 'down' already. She woke up and all the cupboard would just fell off..

Dad told us that every Sunday when dad sent her back to farm via motor, SiSi's mum would 'smell and sniff' SiSi because she smelt different after bathed. Hehe. So this routine continued until one day when she started to lose appetite and her poo had some sort of worms. So, she fell sick and even when we sent her back to farm, we were so worried until we turned back to pick her up (that time it was raining heavily). When she came back to our house, we brought her to vet and that time, it was the last time she went back to fish farm. From that day on wards, she stayed with us and we named her SiSi. 

There are just so many memories with my dog. She passed away on 10th August 2012 at 7.25pm. May she rest in peace. My dog was very healthy all these while without sick and she's very greedy with food. Any food can attract her except for vegetables and fruits. This doggie of our family really cute. She likes to lick her paw and elbow. Aside from that, she was also very very very scared of fireworks. Every time during festive seasons she would be hiding under my mum's working table because fireworks were all around the air. Haha. Not only that, she was also very naughty. Always 'lau kai' want to come into the house middle of the day. Since my family is running business during the day, she was not allowed to be free as we were afraid that she might bite customer. Yeah she did bit one small boy once around evening (7pm). So since then we do not set her free so early until business ended. Well, we do not follow these rules anymore lately. Every time she 'lau kai', we would just set her free and come into the house. She will be resting at her favorite spot in the house.
.

Like I said before, she's very greedy with food. Unlike other dogs who would bark for food, SiSi would just scratch your leg and look at you with her mouth wide open.."I want!". Really naughty girl. Once awhile my mum would set her free to walk outside the house and let her pee. My doggie must walk freely when she was outside. Nothing can tie her. LOL..And the bad thing is, she would walk further and further when we called her back. 'Ah Pang ngai gau, yut ngai yut zhau'. Naughty girl and very 'yau min'. There was once she was lost when we were out for vacation. My uncle did not notice that she went outside the house and locked the gate. She did not came back after that. After searching for one day, my brother found her at the other side of the housing area with her whole body covered with mud and blackish stuff. Don't know where she went. But we were lucky to have her back. Since then, we be extra careful when we go out for vacation..

This is how SiSi looks like 

i really miss her... I regretted that I did not keep more pictures of her and it's because I did not expect her to go away so fast. I was pretty sad as I did not make it to see her for the last time. I was hoping to see her during the coming Raya holiday. But...it was too late. My whole family was sobbing with grief for her loss. In the end, they buried everything that belong's to her, along with her body at the fish farm. My brother said, 'She should go back to where she belongs and everything goes with her'. She gave our family the most memorable 7 years with her. Thank you SiSi for being there in me and my brother's childhood. In short, you are like our sister, growing up with us with many memories and happiness...

There is no other SiSi like you...

I love you always...You are always in my heart, and mind!

Love,
