A Tiring Day

without comments


A friend came over on Thursday noon till evening asking me to make few samples for her textile projects. I never realized how tired I was when I spend my daytime working instead of staying in front of the PC..haha!

I couldn’t even write sponsored post tonight because my brain and body kind of tired. I think that was why when I used to work (employed full time) I fell asleep by 9pm..huhu..

Regardless of that, I was happy that we managed to come out with 5 more samples for her to show to the VIP clients. After all my handcrafted flowers have been published in a local wedding magazine (thanks to her for advertising and asking me to do the samples..) I will scan the pictures from the magazine later and upload into portfolio segment of bungatelur.com.

For now I am still awake because I am watching the items that I’m bidding on eBay. Hopefully by next week I will be over my eBay obsession. I am almost done with the shopping. As of today I found few more interesting items like the leafing pen, metallic paint etc. I am excited to wait for September when I finally will be able to immerse myself completely into scrapbooking.

Oh, the picture above was taken the other day with my D50. I am yet to use the close up filter to see whether it works on the black ant on the heliconia..hehe!

Rubbish, Rubbish Everywhere

with 2 comments

We went to Sate Kajang Haji Samuri in Bangi last Saturday for a round of satay fun when I noticed this on the road. It seems that every Saturday night there will be a massive pasar malam there. So this is what happen after the night market is over.

I just don’t understand the attitude of Malaysians who don’t care about throwing rubbish every where. It’s like they expect that there will be someone else who will pick their rubbish off the streets..huhu! Maybe this is another Malaysia Boleh attitude that they wish the world to know..smirk! What a sad view to see.

The Box From US

without comments

I know what has been draining my energy….huhuhu..these are the culprit that has been ruining my life for this month (and since last month). I have been spending hours in front of my monitor, clicking and clicking items on eBay.

It’s kind of addicting like been swallowed in another world of items, endless tunnel of choices.

Well, after all I already got one box. Maybe I should put some stop on my crazy obsession for scrapbooking items, it’s just that there are a few more that I think I need..haha! This week I managed to buy Prima flowers, some ribbons and fibers. I just need paper trimmer, glue dots and some more gorgeous collection of stickers..then I’m done (as if it’s true..huhu!)

Help! I need help to restrain myself from the eBay. Hubby already threatened to block eBay since I have been living like a zombie these days.

I will be normal again, in time..haha!

A Boring Day

without comments

Do you wonder why some times when you wake up you just seem to be draining off your energy? No matter how many hours you sleep it seems not enough and you wish you just could sleep some more.

Maybe I’m having one of the depressing day, I don’t know. Just hope this feeling will go away soon.

A Weekend Away

without comments

I have been having a great weekend by my standard. Starting from Friday night, we went out to watch Harry Potter. It took us about 2 hours hanging around aimlessly at the mall waiting for the show time. Not even Starbucks was open on the Ground floor so we have no choice but to check out the arcade and a cybercafe on the same floor as the cinema.

So here is the picture on what I snapped that night to fill up my rather boring hours..hehe!

I spend or rather wasted RM10 trying the games and what I got were these Chupa Chups..huhu..but Hubby said I was lucky to get 3 for RM0.50..haha! Maybe I was not really meant to excel in any games even arcade game..huhu!

Then on Saturday, we went out to get all other things I need and fortunately enough for me I got all that I wanted..the crafts supply for the client’s guest favors order, frames for my scrapbooking project at IKEA and stuffs for DSLR – cleaning kit for Hubby, a new backpack for the camera and a close up filter for me. Next on my want list will be a macro lens worth RM1340…I want that to take the picture of the ants on my flower..haha!

Who said having hobbies are cheap? huh! But still without hobbies, what could we do all day, right?

I have a lot more pictures to share in days to come but I’m not sure whether I have the time to update this blog as much as I would love to. The coming weekend I will be going to Pangkor and hopefully my trip there will be fun but for sure tiring…haha! And the laundry after coming back..huhu! Good thing we have fully automatic washing machine.

Have a great day ahead, people! Work hard and play hard too, OK! wink!
