Hey guys. Long time no blog. Working life has officially made me into a routine-follower --> 8 to 5, with a merciful hour for a quick jog, and then home for shower and sometimes dinner, then quick glance online, and then bed by 10pm. Weekends are like an overseas holiday --> I look forward to them as much as I would have of a trip to Singapore during my uni days...Much as I hate admitting, I just

2010-07-16T21:09:00.004+08:00

Hey guys. It was all too sudden. On the 29th of June, there I was, stretching out in the new apartment, getting things settled, trying to get used to the new environment. My girl friend even came to stay over to discuss coming plans of travelling. The next day, an earthquake decided to shake us out of our lives. My batchmates and I all received a posting letter each that called us to duty on the

Cookie Box + Candy Tins turned YUMMIER~!

I'm BACK! :D Took out the stash of faux desserts; sweets, ice creams and cakes, and started off decorating 3 cases with zeal. :D Recently, I found a better substitute to the faux cream that I've used all this while. This new one is really good, as it gives me the benefit of adding my stuff on at my own pace --> it dries off pretty slowly, but the end product is flawlessly beautiful!{ Handmade

Picking things up again

2010-06-29T00:44:00.003+08:00

{ Some lovely finds on Etsy to brighten your day with. }I just came back from a 3-week holiday in Jakarta. Now it's time to get back on track and start pumping out more kawaii. A pity that I don't have a toaster oven anymore - that was the previous landlady's. So I guess there'd be no new polymer clay nor shrink plastic creations at the moment.Been looking at stuff on Etsy and I must say, the

The Funnest Month of My Life

2010-06-14T12:01:00.007+08:00

Hey... Another long long hiatus from blogging. Readers have been questioning when's the next post since the last one in April. ^-^" I'm really sorry about this guys but I was really busy with travelling, moving and getting ready some things for our batch so-called large-scale last dinner. For that one month, I was more happy than I've ever felt. :P Those moments will be treasured and fondly

Long-Awaited Liberation

2010-04-17T15:47:00.005+08:00

Hey all. It's truly been a long LONG time since I last posted something on the blog. I just finished my finals few days ago. That was the LAST and FINAL exam for my pharmacy degree. >.< All of us toiled and suffered while mentally preparing for the battle. And the results will be out soon...Well, in the meantime, I'm enjoying lazy days of facebooking and web-browsing. This afternoon, I tried

2010-03-06T21:21:00.003+08:00

Hey guys....I truly apologise for closing down the blog for a while back there. There were some personal reasons for doing it, but all's well now and I hope you'll continue to read on and enjoy the kawaii.From December 2009, I was posted back to Kuching Sarawak for hospital attachment that lasted 3 months. I only got back to KL end of February and then there's hell from uni. T-T Intensive

The Day Itself - Pipit's 3rd Anniversary + Market

2009-11-10T11:29:00.005+08:00

My friend May Chin and I arrived at the Annexe Gallery a little past 10 in the morning. The place was quite empty but for the Pipit crew. Since it was still early, we went down to change large cash notes for small ones. Somehow, it just slipped my mind that the banks would be closed on the first Saturday (or is it every Sat?) of the month. We went around and round the area, looking for shops and

Preparations for Pipit's 3rd Anniversary Market

2009-11-09T16:04:00.007+08:00

The past Saturday, I participated in a local designers' market. It was organized by Pipit, and the market was in conjunction with its 3rd anniversary celebration. Upon a last minute's thought, I decided to try out selling again. With only two weeks for preparations, I whipped up some Kawaii~neh!'s staples - sweets! :P{ Almost life-sized doughnuts. Ribbon bows were added for extra sweetness. }{

Hi all. I've been rather caught up with my thesis write-up and preparations for a presentation next week. Though it's nothing like what I went through during my earlier sems, semester 7 somehow demanded a large portion of my time.After weeks of half-hearted slaving away at journals and online articles, I finally decided that today, I needed a break. I needed to do something to take my mind off

Went out yesterday with Mei Chin to Art for Grabs. I'm glad that she appreciates arts and crafts herself, and that she enjoyed looking around. Pretty things to fill our one hour with. :P{ 3 friends chillin' and craftin'. :D Soo Mei's intricate jewelry, June's kawaii felt plushies and Jocelyn's beautiful paintings and drawings were really eye-catching. :) }{ Little Fren's load of cuteness! }{ Owl

*Sigh* You're about to bash me right? *Grumbles* I know I know.... What's the point of keeping a blog if I'm just going to let it show the same thing for 3 weeks? T-TWell. The thing is. I'm currently swamped by a heavy bout of laziness. I've got a few ideas for making stuff but I just couldn't be bothered to lift a finger. Recently, I just discovered the joy of YouTube and KPop/Entertainment

I've gone missing for too long. Again. Psst. Do you notice an ongoing trend here? T-TAlright. Actually, I didn't really have anything to talk about these few weeks. Though I'm not busy with research work, it just drags me on with journal searchings and reading-ups. We still need about 50 people to complete our sample. T-T Somehow, I don't feel right slacking like the way I did... *rolls eyes*

2009-08-10T20:18:00.004+08:00

Few weeks ago, I joined a whimsical jar swap organized by Kelly. My partner Mer received her jar, so I guess it's safe to post photos of some of the contents. These were taken at the beginning of stuffing the jar. While waiting for the postal address, I kept stuffing the jar with yet more goodies. -__-" In the end, it weigh a ton. :D{ Here's what I planned to put into the jar in the beginning }{

I was prepared to guard myself from over-spending during the recent trip. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist the temptation to get some craft supplies and other goodies.{ Genuine flat-back swarovski crystals in different colours. I'd been trying to search for colour mixes in one pack for ages. It's a pity that they only have mixes in this one size. I got it at a discounted SG$7.50 from one of the

Not much happened during my absence from the blog. ^-^" My friend and I were idly preparing for data collection for our research survey. We started scouting for companies that'll grant us permission to perform the survey on their employees. The task turned out to be far more difficult than what I initially perceived. Every company requested to be sent an official letter of some sort, without even

Pipit Wonderful Market #2

2009-07-08T23:08:00.005+08:00

I had a wonderful weekend. :P I went to nose about at Pipit's Wonderful Market at Times Square. There were LOTS of things to see. If there's one thing to improve on, it's probably the location and publicity for the event. Because I walked all the way up to the 7th floor and couldn't see a sign of an event going on. I actually had to go down again to the information counter to ask if there's 'this

Final year of uni had just started today. With a super boring lecture on counseling services provided by the uni and stress management. I was thinking, are they subtly (or very obviously) trying to prepare us students for what is coming? Semester 7 is all about research. Some get to do lab research (like pharmaceuticals / pharmacology) and others get to do surveys.I chose to do something not

2009-06-28T22:10:00.009+08:00

This time around, I didn't spend as much as I did last year at Urbanscapes. Probably because yokie was with me. I notice that I tend to splurge more when I shop alone. -__-"I bought from Dooodolls and a stall selling handmade leather goods.{ Baby Cupido and 3 sticker packs from Dooodolls + leather cuff }Before leaving KLCC yesterday, I stopped by Isetan to see if there were any new snacks in

Urbanscapes 2009 - Feast for your eyes

2009-06-27T22:04:00.013+08:00

Today, I went with yokie to this creative arts festival called Urbanscapes held at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre, which is located in Sentul Park.Not really clear of how to get there - even though I've been there before - we alighted at Sentul LRT station. We asked the station staff if there's shuttle service from there to KLPAC and we were asked to go to Titiwangsa station to take the bus.

Finally, we've settled down in Sarikei. Phew. Well, not really settled. There are still LOADS of stuff to unpack. While I could still stand the whirlwind of newspaper-wrapping, cellophane-taping, raffia-string-tying and marker-pen-writing madness for days and weeks before, THE moving day itself totally spent me. Although I didn't even angkat any furniture other than a stack of 3 plastic stools, I

Many many apologies to everyone. T-T Went missing for weeks even though I was and still am stuck at home every day.

Holiday Crafty Progress

2009-06-01T21:17:00.003+08:00

Crafting hasn't been put to a stop yet. :P I'm just too occupied with other things to blog about any of them. What with my sister and brother (and his wife) coming back, the house is like a mini camp place jammed with human beings. Adding to the jumble are a number of dinners and lunches, which my parents forced us kids to attend. I just couldn't find time to sit down and write a proper post for

Long time no updates. :P I've been lazing about after completing the elective report. Each day, it's Facebook, Facebook and more Facebook. I'm helplessly addicted to Restaurant City and Pet Society. It's quite scary how I can sit for quite a while every day and stare at my friends cooking, serving dishes and cleaning up. -_-"But that's only one tenth of my daily routine for the past few days.

Here's a long overdue post about Beard Papa, a Japanese snack store selling cream puffs. I had it once before, and I couldn't forget the fragrant vanilla cream. Some few weeks ago, I bought an original cream puff, a chocolate one and one of their chocolate cakes.{ Beard Papa cream puffs + chocolate cake }Somehow, this time around, the cream puffs didn't really work for me.

With only a week left before exams, I should be buried -with deep concentration- in Pharmacology by Rang, Dale, Ritter and Moore, ticking off the list of information to memorise as I go along. But I just can't stand it any longer. I'm going mad. I spent the last 6 days going through cancer chemotherapy and toxicology -very painfully- trying to cramp in all the info. So much time wasted on these

I went to Central Market on Saturday to book my booth for Art for Grabs.

Finally, our third year classes are over. I had a day out with my friends.

It actually goes without saying that a styled outfit gives a better impression than plain t-shirt and jeans. The later combination will just go unnoticed like grass on a football field. What with a rapid sprouting of personal fashion blogs that are updated daily with photos of what the writer/contributor wore each day, fashion is now not limited to be defined by designers and fashion magazine

I'd just finished the first week of hospital attachment. It was really draggy but from the quality time that we got to spend with the pharmacists, we learnt quite a lot of things. I said draggy as in the waiting time that we had to endure was sometimes quite ridiculous.

In addition to alternating days of 3-hour-brain-draining clinical pharmacokinetics workshops last week, there was a paper to sit for every week.

After thinking over the copying issue, I have to admit that I was probably wrong to have publicly lashed out at someone, even though from every evidence gathered up till today, I'm very sure I did not make a wrong accusation.The major problem in the realm of crafting is that anyone can incorporate anyone else's idea into their work and call it inspiration. Crafters, artists and designers,

Yup. A huge rainbow-coloured lolli hanging from your neck, gummy teddies dangling from your wrist and yummy doughnut hairclips fastened all over your hair - this is no longer the look to savour only in fantasy places like Harajuku.

Happy 2009~

2009-01-01T23:27:00.004+08:00

Can't believe I just spent the whole day of the first of 2009 doing the Toxicology project. T-T Searched, compiled and printed information of acrylamide toxicokinetics in the morning, and then realizing that those info did not help much in writing about acrylamide formation, I began anew with fresh searches.

Yup. I'm back to uni life again. *UGH* Last semester's exam results shocked me speechless and my happy-batteries that usually work best during hols were somewhat out of function for a few days after I received that darn piece of paper.

Being the only son in the family, my brother is set to have a really grand wedding. The church ceremony itself is estimated to draw around 300 people. Nomally, there'll be small gifts given to everyone who attended the ceremony.

I was browsing Etsy today for shrink plastic handmades. On one of the search result pages, a few photos caught my eye. My initial thoughts about them were "Omg. So hideous. Who would buy these? They look like drawings of a 5-year-old."I was really curious if anyone has bought from the shop, so I clicked into it. In the subsequent seconds as the page loaded, I had a flashback about something I

Er.... I'd been neglecting the blog again. ^-^" My family had relatives visiting, so it was a busy period of afternoon chats and social dinners, of which I didn't at all look forward to.
