western blot is killing me

so many blots, so little pretty bands. i really need some positive vibes, lovely things, shopping.. *:P*

i'm not so tired though despite the late nights at work. bird nests' work.

western blot is bleh.

the girls at work signed up for salsa class and we were all so excited to start class tomorrow but meh.. the school had some issues and i guess that brought out the nasty in a few of us, plus the future teacher, but it's really not our fault to cancel leh.

tomorrow my gels better get delivered, the printer guy better come and i better see some nice bands on my film.

my knee is aching

it's sunday and we've cleared all the laundry! the sun was out yesterday (hurrah!) and we managed to wash 5 loads of various items. and we ironed/steamed them out today. amazing, we don't have any laundry left over. for once.

and it's been raining for 2 to 3 weeks since. i finished me halter but i have yet had the chance to wear it. bah.

ah well. i got poked during the week and got to work stringing a few things up. they're all up now.

of course i'd like to once again rave about these lolis charms. remember them?

cycling trivialities

today has not been a good day. right now i still have a lump of discontent in the pit of my belly. *rumbles* *grumbles*

in the morning... haiyoh. let's just say that sometimes things just want to be fought over lah har.

the afternoon went by quite peacefully.

just before the work day ended, my boss dropped my brand new HD and apparently it's spoilt. i haven't even paid the colleague that help me buy it. *heart aches* *heart still aching*

after which we left... halfway, someone forgot her HP. so we decided to wait for her. and it started to rain. NVM. it poured!!!! so we all got wet through.

not to mention that i seem to have pulled the muscle on the right of my neck. wah lao.

i got sun flowers on sunday. they weren't that bad for 5$.


it's been raining since sunday. my sunflowers just drooped lower and lower. to think that it was sunny before i got the flowers.


something to make you happy. *tries to smile*

it is rather pretty, but i had this take it lying down. ha ha haarrr...

feathers on my breath

today we're having a nice cool weather with a balmy breeze. the laundry is drying nicely. the music's good and i have my DH next to me *cheesy grin* Isn't it nice...

i've missed out blabbing on one very important thing. I've got braces! they've been up since the mid of january and i expect them to come out by next year. right now i'm staying off the spicy food cause the insides of my cheeks have tiny littly cuts and bruises that sting whenever i have chili. pepper's ok though. phfew.



today i'm going to brag about:

1. the hydrangeas i got for CNY. i threw them away on thurday. they lasted about 1 month. it's pretty cool and i didn't have to get a whole plant.



2. that thing on the back of the flower was a bag that plagued me since last year. i finally got hold of that pattern on valentine's day and had the main body finished in less then 2 weeks i reckon. as usual i procrastinated on sewing up the lining until my mum helped my finished it last sunday. heheh.

pattern

actually i should have used a smaller thread for the connecting flowers. right now you can't see the individual blossoms that make up the bag.

3. that FBB that i have been using since this year. wanted to have a keepsake of the lining which is full of poodles.


the pink teddy lost both it's arms. lol. now it look like an akuma.

i will survive

the day has passed (well there's another 4 hours till bedtime) and i've survived a full bikini wax. and that's it. i didn't survive the shop that i got the wax from. i ended up with a $$$ cream that's suppose to slow down and reduce hair growth.

i also didn't survive spotlight. i got away with 2 peach (senso has pretty bright colors) and one gold (panda) cotton yarn, a box of buttons, a meter of sofa fabric, and scrap of purple cloth. $$$

i wanted to get the corn and bamboo yarns too but i'm not sure what to do with them yet.

started on making my halter with the new peach yarn. hopefully there'll be no more changes. ergh!!

i think i'm going to hide my credit cards again.

stock taking

wanted to take a photo of all my unfinished projects, but think will take some time taking them out. i shall list them instead.

bright pink cable bag
fushia pink rose bag
green fuzzy bag
turquiose blue bobble bag
blue flower big bag

cream bolero from a japanese pattern book

numerous earrings to finish up and post


and right now i'm starting a new halter top. made lots of prototypes, with a blue cotton and a bright fushia pink thing but they don't work. so right now i'm contemplating going out to look for a nice color. can't decide to go spotlight or golden dragon. also cannot decide on a color. pink? yellow? green? not blues. don't feel like browns.. tough leh

i also want to make me a tissue holder. *feels guilty for wanting to do so many things*

the lavender plant needs to be replanted.

also made appointment to go for a full brazilian wax *ish scared* however, i will pass by HMV so i can get the other jose gonzaleas album. *imagines psychedelic colors*

o.0 that would be a nice halter color. or yellow and white shades.. hmmm.... will go spotlight first then.

*crosses fingers*

lonely tuesday

i was pissed off with something today but right now i can't remember it. *thinks hard*

i suppose if i can't remember it, it wasn't something worth getting angry about in the first place.

however, i do recall this woman i saw on the mrt, all nicely dressed for a day in the office, reading the papers... and chewing her nails. on several fingers. while she occasionally scratch her head. and flips the papers. eeee uuuuuu.... it was an unsightly sight with her lips curled up exposing all her pearly whites (lovely teeth though) and biting on the (obviously a serial biter) short short nails. *wonders if she swallows or spits the bits* *didn't see any spitting* eeeeee uuuUUUuUuUuuUu *

o_O

0_O

there was also another lady that was all dolled up with her pretty skirt and platform shoes and sitting with her knees apart. and i sat opposite her in the end. and she didn't showed off her undies caused her thighs happened to have covered it. tsk. *pities my eyes*

O_o

0-O

these are the things i get pissed off about. i'm definitely not a morning person so i'd like to have a peaceful, eye-sore free ride to work in the morning.

oOoOoOoOoOOOOOooooOooOoOoo

sneezing fit. someone must be thinking of me. *loves*

today i would also like to showcase 2 of my bags. one of which it totally new. the other has been sitting around forever but i did manage to finish lining it and stuff. click on them!




remember these? hahaha! the green one it still unfinished. the peach cupcake looks odd so i stopped. the bobbly one has been finished and has enjoyed an outing at a wedding dinner. :P

so right now i have a choice of finishing another bag which i've lined halfway. or starting a new project... a lacey halter top thing or another purple bag. wah ha ha!!!

i'm gonna dig my stash. too the loos!

it's been a good day

yup, everytime the DH is about to go away for a long trip he is extremely nice to me. today we went out for lunch and came back with 4 bags. it's not all my purchases though. he got a pair of shoes and a pair of slacks. i got me some cute Ts from Pull n Bear and another white cardi from Forever21. :P

i had the trippest dream this morning. i remember going to my grandmother's, and they've moved from the 4th floor to another apartment upstairs. (the flat that my grandmother used to stay had only 4 storeys high, and there wasn't any elevators). anyways, my cousin and i went up in the tiniest lift ever. it was only enough to fit 3 persons, standing side by side, with the door opening at one end. i felt pretty claustrophobic then... which the dream morph into my mum coming to our place while we're still sleeping in the morning and she was in an A-line purple dress... to which there was another shift and there was a performance and i don't remember much of that except that we were trying to depicts the 4 seasons and there was a thing representing each of the seasons with some lovely stage set changes. i think most of them were a female person except for winter, which was represented by a white fox. and when the fox came on stage, you could see the bare silver branches of trees popping up, the silvery moon in the air and we were tracking in the snow while a chilly wind was blowing snow all over, and we were covering ourselves with hoodies and scarves... and then i woke up. trippy. *listens to new CD*

let me rave about me new face scrub/mask thing. it's from The FAce shop. Peeling day-Honey black sugar. the scrub isn't something that i'm used to (many granules) but it smell fantastic of sugar and honey. today it smelt like those tapioca pearls from bubble tea. yummy. the one from skin food Black Sugar Mask is actually better (for me).

new charms are up for sale.

chinese new year rush

today is chu(1) 4. *thinks* ya.. i'm so tired. omg. we've literally been out of the house for the past 3 days, and there's another place to go later. well, i intend to be fashionably late. having a car means you want to cover as many places as possible. we've been around the whole island, from tampines to woodlands to bukit batok and back into hougang again.. all in one day. either that or its hougang to bukit timah. today we go toa payoh. *dies*

on the flipside, having a car is great! i got to visit the nurseries at thomson even though it was pouring but we got to play pretend at being romantic while looking at flowers. the chill room at far east flora is a must go if you love to 'frolic among the roses'. i got me 2 bunches of roses at $14 for 20 stalks and hydrangeas blooms at 6$ each! w00t!

the ones in front are pink and cream while the taller ones are yam (like the ones we had for our wedding last year). i had such a long time choosing the hydrangeas cos they had all the lovely colors like pinks and purples and whites and in between antique blues. OoOoOoOoooo.. the DH left me in there cos it was soooo cold.

the place was so worth the visit that we went back again after having dinner on tuesday night :P just for a after dinner stroll...and i got a pot of lavender plant, after thinking long and hard.

see exhibit B on the right. that's the one we bought. apparently it's been imported from italy. the sad looking lot on the left (A) are the ones i've been trying to grow from seed since last year augest. those are the hokkaido variety, but i think they smell better.

we also saw rosemary plants. it was very tempting but i still have a boxful of the dried stuff at home. maybe next time.

we also got a pot of chili plant at another nusrsery on sunday near my mums.

it's really cute but i think the plant is dying. the leaves are shriveling up and i'm am sure that it's well watered. maybe it just doesnt like the house.

random note: my braces are cutting into my skin.

all these plants are cluttering up the place. and contribute to my CNY decorations. time to say ooooo.....

new curtain ties in yellow with little oranges

the pussy willow flowered so i quickly poured the water away. i like them to stay white and fluffy.

mao mao was sleeping happy on the freshly laundered table cloth till she puked on it.

procrastination always wins

it's QL's birthday. HAPpPpY BirThdAY!!! hoped you liked all your pressies. i'm sure this is a good day since the BOSS is not here today and we can all relax and have a quiet time.

tomorow is my presentation and i'm being super duper lazy. i've got most of the stuff down but i need to read up some stuff. however! *thunder rolls* , i found this site instead. hehehe Ultra Kawaii!!!



it's lovely. some of the episodes are in shockwave flash that means i can watch it at work. (we're banned from all streaming media and loads of fabulous sites.

using the mac to blog is not happening. a lot of my functions are unavailable. tsk.

i'm goign back to watch vids. toodleloos...

a little panic

i've been away from the net a long time ya. we are still not sure if it's the network or the router. nyeh! and also we've been obsessed with Coffee Prince. it's darn funny and sad and sweet too. go watch. you'd be addicted too.

i have also been in a mad rush since last christmas ever since i got my Happy Hooker book. and i made 3 fat bottomed bags so far. :P

this was the 2nd bag made but i lined it first. and horribly lined too. so i cut it off and now it's sitting there unfinished again.

the lining was too small for the bag. :(


i completed making the body of the grey one on the 1/1/2008 :P but i never got to lining it until i made my mum do it for me 2 weeks ago. heehee. i've been happily using it for the past week. i love it!

the gold one is the 3rd i've made and i completed it whole last weekend. lining, handles and all. but i think i shall put a button on it today because it can't seem to close completely. hopwfully i can make another one for my mil by CNY.


the cat is loving the gold raffia. she likes the shinies.


resident cat taking her nappies in the bush. awwww...


we were in chinatown last night and it so happens to be the official light up ceremony. MM Goh was there. so were all these lions. there were amusing all lined up on the street.


ah.. time to go lunch soon. i'm going to be busy again trying to make a bunch of things by CNY and Valentine's day. and i still need to get me some new togs for CNY. and VD present. and some VD cupckaes. and finished redecorating the house. and lining pink FBB for tues. and managing my yahoo auction. OMG. you prolly will not see me for a while again.

random monday photos

i uploaded the pictures i took with my new phone. it's much easier now since i can take out the memory card and use a thumbdrive. better than my old one anyways.

this here is very large bowl of pomegranate seeds from 1 very large pomegranate. it took me 2 days to finish them all by myself. not one else bothers to eat this stuff. the ruby red seeds are very pretty. yummy too. i wonder if pomegranate is heaty...



this is the resident cat of our block. she's such a pretty thing. many people feed her so i don't. but she liks the occasional mr. bean ice cream. i do too. :)



these 2 are always together. sure a lovely pair. nope... they're both girls. one is older than the other. not mother and child.



girl girl is desperate for a good scratch after wearing the elizabeth collar for 2 weeks. she's all better now but previously she had a huge gash on her derriere and saw lice.. whatever those things are.

CAAS was testing the operations of T3 so we got to be guinea pigs and left from an empty airport. it's all green and bamboo-y and shiny. and when you're there, check out the toilets with the great views (didn't have my camera with me then so no toilet shots this time.) we also got served free buffet breakfasts! (mmmmm... smoked salmon canapes...)
