Am starting afresh again!!! I swear I'm really not a job -hopper. Something happened and thus discouraged me and...well. A Loooooooooooooooong story. My current job is ending and I still have not found a new one. Will be taking a break while looking for a suitable job. I want to start compiling my photographs again and get back those times I had lost over the past 8 months. I want to do many

Have been waiting for a long time to take a break. Finally, there's some time to rest before it takes off again! But I expect not much resting because boyboy would be with me the whole day. Would have to cook and do some activities with him. Also would be preparing my lessons in advance so I would not be so busy preparing things again when term starts. Reading a few interesting books now and need

When I started this blog, I was thinking to write about my work too because it's part of me but somehow work started and things never got written. Probably I got a bit sensitive and worried abt writing details online and how it might get spread or linked unintentionally. It's not wise to reveal too much that would otherwise end up with your boss. Should I keep a personal blog or diary then to

The house had been neglected a lot during these few months. I'm finally starting to clean up piles here and there, throw away old stuff to make way for new. We need more organising furnitures, like a shelves, cabinets or just desktop organisers. We need cabinets on the wall! But I don't have the budget for them now. I still have many photo projects to do but I'm putting them aside to solve

1. There are things to blog about but I'm still in the midst of sorting out the videos. There's something wrong with my computer codecs and the HD videos just crashes my programme or failed to load. 2. Got the letter finally telling me which school I'm going to. But alas, today is teacher's day celebration so I couldn't get hold of them to know the exact details. 3. Is trying to find suitable

So grateful to that person who took away that bin for burning incense papers, which unfortunately is situated directly below my bedroom and study room window. Tomorrow is the lunar fifteen and people would be burning tonight. Someone started burning last week and it caused smoke to be coming in just when we are getting boyboy ready for sleep. The smoke is bad but the ashes that flew into our

My mum passed her third modular test yesterday! I feel proud of her that she is learning again at age 55 and taking a retail course in Mandarin. It is highly subsidised by the govt and she only had to pay $200 which was sponsored by my sister. She still maintains that she is 'play-play' only and not sure what she would do in the future though. But at least, she's doing something to change her

(Questions from  Katie The Scrapbook's Lady's post ) Rounding Up My Memories for the month of July 2010 1. What books and/or magazines did I read this month? I bought two chinese books to read (still hadn't finished). One by Jimmy and one by the famous web novelist, 九把刀. For 九把刀, I had heard about him as he wrote a script for a show but I only realised that he's actually famous for eerie,

*dusting cobwebs here... I hadn't been here for a loooong time. Got ideas for some blogging revamp but they are all still swirling in my head. Still trying to find a direction for this place. Would it be a place for info, art, scrapbook, photo gallery or everyday things? It's hard to strike a balance. In the meantime, it's a huge mix of everything I'm interested in...

1. Am down to the last two pages for journaling on my outing book. Then, it's designing the front and back pages, cover and sent for printing. Before that, I'll probably need hubby to proof-read all the text and it's a LOT of them. 49 pages................O_O 2. Routine life is making me depressed. Everyday, it's the same thing over and over again. The only difference is that the crops in my

Oops. I'm very inactive nowadays. I think blogging is losing its fad... oh dear. Facebook and Twitter are taking over our lives now. Who has time to write so much these days and not getting any response? :P Most people are getting instant replies nowadays in facebook by updating their statuses. BUT blogging saves these things happening in our lives, scrapbooking preserves it forever. So...we

Often in today's busy world we don't make enough time for kindness. Shop assistants often rush and don't have time to help. Baristas often attend to making coffee. And we, as customers, frequently don't stop and appreciate the service we receive. The two things go hand in hand. When we open our hearts and slow down for a moment, something magical does happen. Something within us starts shining

I hadn't been updating my POTD. erm, the drawing bug caught me and I had been doodling and colouring simple artwork to upload to facebook. I still take photos but hadn't been editing them or posting yet. Since starting the Outing Album, I had been feeling exhausted with the amount of photos to edit and put into collages. Am 30 pages now and still have about 20 plus more to go. (to be completed

Saw a very antique looking vehicle parked in the middle of the grass. What's it for? It was a nice contrast to the kites in the sky too and made a perfect picture moment.

Just joined twitter with a personal account. Blame scrapbooking. The lure was too strong. I like to get updates from the designers so I can take a look at their newest kits which I might have missed if I'm not reading Google Reader. If you like reading and writing short messages, join Twitter! It's like sms but online with lots of people. ^^ Find me at http://twitter.com/plumcloud. Would like to

Celebrated the 6th Year of our marriage at Swenson today. A memorable day for us where we got married in the church and officially became husband and wife. Tomorrow is Father's Day too. Had a new dish for all three of us instead of the usual fish and chips. Boyboy couldn't finish his portion though so we ended up eating three meals and was SO full.... Tried to take a tripod picture of the three

Lately, it has always been this time. As I woke up at 6:20am to feed boyboy his breakfast and helped him with his poopoo and changing. I would be closing one eye or trying to force them open while feeding him because I slept very late around one am. Yes...my earlier habit of closing down at eleven plus only lasted a little while because I really would like to work on my photo and design projects

Found this personal scrapbooking site today. Simply Yin and was going 'Wow wow wow!" All her layouts are so beautiful and she's so far the only scrapbooker I come across who scraps multiple photos and able to lay them out so nicely. Love, love her scrapping of her travel photos. She even scraps multiple daily photos into a layout instead of just choosing one or two. I had been looking for such

Alright, here's some photographs that I've taken lately which hadn't been posted up in time. Too late to go back to post individually. Really NEED to get this blog maintained and not closed down like many others before it. Recently, I discovered Photoshop actions and had been playing around with them. It's all free and really helped to enhance the pictures. Before, I only do manual

Busy with my photo projects that I've fallen behind in updating this blog daily which WAS my goal when I first set this up. Til now, I'm still debating what this blog should be. How MUCH private life of myself should I put on the web for everyone to view and for the internet to archive til I'm gone from the face of the Earth...See...the thing is, I like to document and share my stories.

Had been busy working hard on making pages for the next photobook - Outing Trips from Sep2008. (16 pages completed) I specially singled them out from the photos from the usual daily lives and focused entirely on the places we went to.Each trip is a two-page spread and consists of at most 17 photos with one place for journaling. Why print them in a book? I like to include journaling in the trips
