Scrapperdy-do

Ha..... Finally, our seemingly endless class tests are over!!! Now, our 3-week study break starts, and then it'll be the End-of-Semester exams. T-T

The night before the UTP (Understanding the Patient) paper, my hands were itching like mad for wanting to make stuff. I haven't been doing anything crafty at all for more than 2 weeks or so, and my crafty juices were full to bursting. There was this thought playing over and over again in my mind. Recycling all my scrap felt from leftover cuttings into something beautiful of sale-value. So, here was the stash :

I came up with this brooch :

Then, yesterday afternoon, I continued making another one; a sea-themed brooch. The 2 rhinestones and little puffy fish was from the swap with Rainbow Mermaid.

Black + White Fantastic Plastic Charm Bracelet + Kawaii Stationery

Wah... I just had a difficult test paper today - Organic Chemistry. Actually, the subject itself is not really that hard at all, but as there are a lot of chemical reactions (with the conditions and catalysts and additives and all) to remember for each, my mind just couldn't take in all of that in just one and a half days, after the Physical Chemistry paper on Monday. T-T

Anyway, am really happy - super hyper - because I collected 2 packages from the uni's reception counter today! One was a swap from Joanna aka Rainbow Mermaid from the UK. She's one of the few gifted kitsch charm jewelry makers on Etsy. I was lucky enough to swap because she loves kawaii stickers, of which I have bunches and bunches. :) I swapped for one of her FUNKYLICIOUS charm bracelets.

I especially like the cat charm and black round plastic charm with a white star. Since this was on sale (buy 1 get 1 free), she asked me to choose another item from that section. I chose a blue enamel butterfly on gold chain necklace. Initially, when I decided on that, I planned to have it as a freebie giveaway. Why? Because I haven't worn a necklace for a looong time, since I was in standard 5 (darjah 5). But when I saw the real gem today, I'm in love with it. No way am I parting with it. :P I can always accustom myself to wearing something beautiful on my neck again. :P

The other package was my ebay order from myTarson. The Hong Kong based kawaii gift shop was also having some sale items which I found hard to resist. I'm a sucker for Japanese kawaii memo pads with yummy food. *-*

And must haves ...... CRAM CREAM DECO TAPES!!!!!! :D

Hah.... just came back from Farah's place. Me and my friend went to her house, and we cooked dinner. :) Fishball + fishcake soup with cabbage, carrots and glass noodles (dong fen). My friend made potato salad (cooked potato cubes and carrots + mashed boiled egg + dendeng + mayonnaise). Dendeng is a Malay dish - something like shredded beef with herbs and spices. It's extremely tasty and addictive. I love love LOVE it!

I find it a good relax-therapy, eating and talking together. :) It's such a no-worry thing, and I haven't been doing that for some time now. After eating, we just watched TV with another 3 more friends (Farah's housemates), occasionally gossiping about our uni's happenings. :) Fun. :)
