Boxing day

Lying in bed feeling rather sick. But it was fun having brunch at the cricket club and seeing one of my bestie's nephew.

I've also been making earrings and bracelets for people! So fun!

Winner!

I never have any luck when to comes to lucky draws. Made my day when I knew I won a $100 gift card!

DIY

Some of my old friends said that I've changed knowing that I've started to DIY these days! I guess I've been inspired by the numerous amounts of blogs that I've been reading lately, especially Geneva from a Pair and a Spare and Erica/Lauren from Honestly WTF.

As a newbie I created something rather simple (I mean, you start from the bottom right).

Started off with a couple of kids' bracelets! One for my cousin and the other one for my niece. Seemed safer working with kids first hahah.

My niece playing with hers!

Next up was the peter pan collar adopted from here. They even have the collar piece pattern ready for you! The hardest part for me was threading the ribbon through the collar since I don't have a hole bunch and I made my necessary holes with needles. I'll probably make one without the scallops next time ;)

Went over to Sham Shui Po (again) today to pick up more supplies. Tried out the earrings! I have a pair that looks 95% like the ones I made (they were my absolute favourite though) so I was kinda testing out how to put everything together.

From top to bottom in less than 10 mins!

Imitation is good when you're a noob like me I guess. I just realized that pretty much all kinds of jewelry use up the same essential pieces, namely beads, hooks and back/bottom pieces. Everything just kinda works around the basics! Which is also why the supply stores are so overwhelming! Floor to ceiling filled with a bajillion jars holding different beads and hooks and what not. :o

Now I need to get a whole lot of inspiration and try to make something of my own! :)

My happy corner

This is no interior design but definitely the area that I'm the most proud of. Can't wait to get my own apartment!

Cellular data

Used over 500mb in 3 days. So glad I got the unlimited plan!

Just A Dream by Nelly - Sam Tsui & Christina Grimmie

I can't seem to stop posting this everywhere
Sooo freaking good :)

I love me some Italian fooooood!

New phone!

So I have converted over to the dark side. I must say, the camera apps on the iPhone were the most attractive things. But the typing ad what not, not so much.

Tried out instagram for the first time and here's some old school shoe polishing!!!

Parental love

Caught me off guard knowing that this was in fact a commercial. 

Yet it still managed to send out a strong message, leaving you feeling a little numb afterwards.

Be nice to people who care about you!

Little surprises

I guess this is a reason why I like second hand stuff...
Everything has a story behind them :)

Autocorrect

So I will probably be getting my iPhone 4S soon... which means saying bye to my good old sturdy blackberry. *sobs*

Anyhow, being the keypad-maniac that I am, I'm not exactly looking forward to pulling more hair out because of the stupid autocorrect function.

But I must admit, some of this stuff is pretty hilarious!
