Started working

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 1st of July.

I was totally mad. Well, they did give us a span of 30 days to report to duty, but some very kia-su people just went to report the next day, leaving the rest of us without a choice but to follow in their footsteps, such as was requested by the authorities.

It was a hell of a week. We flew from KL to Kuching to meet up with the Sarawak Health Ministry people, whom left us in a 5-hour wait at a boardroom while they decided where to place us across 3 hospitals; Kuching, Miri and Sibu. I was unfortunate enough to end up being thrown to Miri hospital, with 3 other West Malaysians whence the rest of the Sarawakians happily placed to their hometowns.

Air tickets were booked on the spot and shoved to us. We were to fly to Miri the very next day, and start work the day after next. They expected us to find a house, get a car and settle every necessity within a day. GET REAL!

In times like this, I really really hate the G.

So people, I'm very sorry. I won't be able to make stuff anymore for the time being. I'm working 8 to 5 weekdays, and we have extended working hours on some weekends. Currently, I'm messing around at the In-Patient Pharmacy, where every day, it's checking the medication trolleys, filling out prescriptions and doing simple yet sometimes mind-muddling calculations. Pharmacists love DOCUMENTATION and I swear I'm the worst person to remember all those stupid records we need to do to dispense each medication.

My life is as exciting as a polo bun. T-T

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 polymer clay lollies surrounded by pretty sweet cabochons, pearls and teenee fruit slices --> ♥! }

{ I like this one more much more than the previous one. :P }

{ Okay. This DA BOM! XD Actually made this one first then proceeded with the smaller two. This one was done on a Famous Amos gift container. :) }

{ The sides all dolled up with brown polka-dotted pink ribbon. :P }

{ LOVE the KABOOM of sweetness~! ♥ }

On the side, I was working with this pretty-ness on my side cupboard the whole time :P :

{ White bird cage and roses bought during my Bangkok trip. Laced and beaded clear jar and pink tissue rose ball made for our batch dinner. Rings and stuff worn to the dinner :P }

{ Shallow bowl of potpouri with tealights and shiny string of disco beads. This was also assembled for our batch dinner. }

At the new place now, I feel quite inclined and free to decorate the room as I please. :P

Picking things up again

{ 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 variety has increased. So many talented people! :D Hope to gear up and produce some good ol kawaii soon. :P
