2009

embarking a new job, feeling emotions i never thought i would have, going through pain & agony of the misses in life, tying a tighter bond with family and friends and knowing a life's turning point is round the corner....i wish...and wish so hard that 2010 would be a better year and i think it will be.

happy new year everyone!

going to have a new year's day breakfast date with D.
somewhere new, somewhere fresh, somewhere nice....to start 2010.
it's going to be better...i can just feel it!!

friends are not about being fat or thin, rich or poor, pretty or ugly, well dressed or not, but the connection and bond that you blossom and the relationship that you've foster which comes from deep down your heart.

to all my dearest friends, here's wishing you a merry merry christmas!

the season of GIVING

this year there's more craft work to my wrapping. it was tiring but i really enjoyed myself and was happy just looking at them. hopefully they bring some smiles to the recipients.

the red taped ribbon is from osaka and the wrapper is from bangkok. i finally got to use them for my favorite friends' presents. realised that these tapes are sold in some craft shops in Singapore now. Not special anymore, but still...i love them. nice?

the name tags are made of canvas paper and i punched them using the xmas tree punch i just got recently. was also happy the alphabet stamps and stamp pads from Kodomo Inc came to use. these stamps are really marvelous in quality and adds a personal touch to these presents.

ooohhh...this was tough...so tough. the theme this year for dbs gang's xmas gathering was japan-nese. there will be japanese food, drinks and decor ..and we had to wrap the presents in japanese theme too. boy was it hard to decide what to do since the real jap materials here aren't cheap. a roll of japanese printed paper could cost at least S$15!! so with the sakura craft punch i had, i decided to make something simple using the japanese origami papers and glued them on a recycled box i got from muji. with the simple gold ribbon, i thought it looks almost perfect. well, the picture here doesn't really do it justice.

the 3D sakura flowers made with love. hee!!
merry xmas!!

love this!

always good to think of something outside of work-related stuff during a bad work day....and this would definitely help. found at www.style.com
