A Page To Ponder
This is the outcome from my scrapbooking class, more to scrap page since I only managed to create a page..hehehe..now that I know the basics in scrapbooking, those DIY craft magazine with scrapbook features finally make sense to me. Things like eyelet tools, paper cutter and all kind of embelishment come alive in the picture of my mind.
Since this scrap page is only one page, I think I’m going to send it to frame shop to be framed. Not sure whether IKEA has frame for page size 12 x 12. Will have to see later. One of the example in the Papier has only a single travel picture and they framed it nicely in IKEA white frame and it looks so memorable and will be a great keepsake.
For those who want to commemorate the special events in your life, be it your wedding, new born baby, birthday party, graduation and whatnot, this is a great, creative way to do so. The overall cost is quite high since all the materials are imported, you need to use acid-free products otherwise all the pics and paper will turn yellowish and ugly after few years…
You can’t turn back the time, but you can always keep it alive in memory forever, the best way is keeping it in a page for you to ponder and flip all year through. For those interested to know more, just email me at [email protected]. See ya!

A Wedding To Remember
A friend SMSed me yesterday, asking where to get fans as wedding souvenirs. It instantly reminded me of the souvenirs I received during my wedding reception trip in Shah Alam. I guess when it comes to wedding, everyone would like to make it a wedding to remember…heheh..after all it is not everyday we get married, right.
The right-hand picture is the fan, embelished with flowers, courtesy of my own wedding material. I still keep my own wedding decoration leftover, too sentimental and will always remind me of the grand day of my life.
For those who are interested to give away fans like this during their wedding reception, kindly contact me at this email address: [email protected]. Details will be provided.
The Long Road Home
It’s Saturday and I’m still updating the Friday’s entry. For those who wonder, this pics was taken during my Raya trip to Kedah in Nov ’05. During that time the paddy fields were green and almost fully grown. I’m not sure by the time the flood hit most of the parts in Kedah, those farmers had managed to sow their paddy or not. As I hardly spend my years in Kedah, I can say that I hardly know the cycle of these paddy business, maybe just the basic of it, but how long it takes from one stage to another, well don’t ask me…hehehhe..
The entry title once again reminded me of a book I’ve read by the same title. Written by Danielle Steel, given to me by someone dearest almost 8 years ago, I still have it in my possession. The story about the abused, unwanted and unloved daughter left me weeping for days. Those kind of stories make me wonder why people choose to have children, is it because they choose that path of life because that’s the best life can offer them and that’s the best they can offer to the child, or because majority have children since that’s the most natural and normal cycle of life. Someone uttered to me once, get married, just go with the flow, get pregnant and have children. Well, maybe that’s not me entirely…For those who might feel offended, take your offensive remarks somewhere else, I don’t need it here…hahaha..
Anyway, to wrap up this entry, I found my home now, though it’s a long road to here, with all the hurdles, discouragement, anger and dissatisfaction especially from those who should care the most and love unconditionally, honestly I have no regret, but I never lost the hope that someday they will be able to see things from my point of view..hopefully!
A Boring Day At Home
I don’t know why, but I feel so bored today, it’s not that I have nothing to do, but I just don’t feel like doing anything..the lazy syndrome has affected my mind massively today, to the extent that I am so lazy even to eat lunch, if not for the growling stomach, I think I will remain starving…
Anybody getting married and wish to hire someone to do their bunga telur, please feel free to contact me, for affordable fees I could do your bunga telur, since I am so bored and quite free at the moment…hahaha…
This purple bunga telur was made for my cousin’s wedding last November, I think I have so many cousins, I’m not sure which is which..since I could not attend her wedding and dont want my mom to nag so much about it, that’s why I decided to give this complimentary bunga telur…sigh..so much for family politics, huh…
Well, tomorrow I have my schedule full of Urusan Seri Paduka Baginda, yucks I despise going to govt office, it’s a waste of time and energy, but what to do, things should be settled once and for all..Hubby is taking leave tomorrow to accompany me, yeay…good for me…I should not be that bored tomorrow…emmm..I have another wedding to attend this weekend, still thinking whether to go or not…
