I am not back in Perth currently and hopefully I will blog more and be consistant in what I do.

I am going to be in my final year of Industrial Design or 3D Design is the new name at the moment.

Uni starts on Monday so I have the weekend to myself and to enjoy before it all starts again.

Anyway recently I made a bouquet with so many flowers and colors in which I am not so comfortable but it is always good to go out of your COMFORT Zone from time to time isnt.



So the wrapping this time I really put a lot of detail to it. I found this really pretty ribbons which I got from KL. Here have a look.


And since was a Wedding Registration, I also did the boutonniere (its pronounce as boot-n-eer). btw I copied that from Dictionary.com


Well I have to get ready now to go to uni for my briefing.. Will make a note to update soon on other stuff.

Thats all for now

Mini Kristie: Nail art Part 1

Nail art Part 1

I love an occasional pampering. Manicure and pedicure make me go all weak in the knees. So after spending almost RM50 per session, I have decided to do my own.

I love the classic french manicure and I recently discovered the secret which is a small brush for applying. Here is the difference. It is so much thinner and easier to apply.
I was browsing through some websites and stumbled upon this particualr website called www.thestickermonster.blogspot.com .
So this is how it came, through post laju.
I ordered some FIMO nail art canes for my own use and I am so so pleased with my purchase.
I am going to share some of the items I bought.

Birthday babies in June Part 1

I don't really like this as now I am in Malaysia and both my 'besties' are in Kansas and Perth. So anyway this post will be mostly based on pictures that I love a lot a lot. Most of the KA(Kristus Aman) gang all in Malaysia.

Get ready for a post full of pictures that I love.
Do you realise something, Belle is on the left and Shireen is in the middle in all three of these pictures. Haha!

Well the reason why I am posting this up is because Shireen's Birthday is on the 9th of April and Belle's on the 1st of June. So it is a good time to post some pics os them when they were all home.

Some other pictures of the other June Babies.. Laila shares the same birthday with Belle. And Sheyna's is on the 7th June same with Jon B. All these June babies.Will end this post with a picture that was taken at a friend's wedding. Love love.

Blood Donation

I know of many people who clinch at the thought of going for blood donation. I do know that I was never afraid of giving blood to people who need it as I have blood. Did you know it only takes 48 hours for the blood that you donated to be generated back? Haha YES YES only 2 days!

This topic started when I went to NS (National Service). Since we were only 17 years old, we needed our parents' approval. So over the Chinese New Year break, they gave us the forms and of course my mother signed it happily. So we got back and still pretty full of all the CNY's goodies, the staff from the Terrenganu Hospital came to the Camp to start the whole 'exercise'. Not many Chinese girls from my camp took part mainly coz their parents didn't allow for fear of them losing blood and the misconception of 'gaining weight'.

All my mother told me was, drink more water! Haha that's all..

Firstly, they prick your finger and check your 'blood group' and hemoglobin level. When all that is in order, you lie on like a stretcher with 'legs'.

Something similar to the above picture and pillows were provided too. So we are required to lie on the 'bed' and wait. My pressure taken with the blood pressure 'thingy' and then they leave it and the vein in my hand kind of shows up.

So with a small syringe with anesthetic into the vein and it becomes like a little bump.

That is when they poke the bigger neddle into your vein and that is attached to a bag similar to this next image.So after I have shared with you on the whole process and if a person like me can do it, what is stopping you? There is really nothing to be afraid of! I will be hurt by the little prick but after that your blood is going to help someone who really needs it. What is more rewarding than that?My lovely arm with the humungous needle since the silly cotton ball shifted to the side. I was too scared to move the cotton ball so I took this picture instead. I personally like to go to SDMC which was formerly SJMC to get my blood donation done.

Previously I have bruised that part of my hand as I 'overdid'/over-exerted that area.

Something else you didn't know about me.

That's all for now!!

Carolling

I love when its December. First it is my birthday and then Christmas. Was going throught my pics and stumbled upon these 2 pictures that I developed. I was grateful as we did photoshoot at Curve in our black, red and gold outfits.

Mother's Day Project @ Kristus Aman

So usually I take part in doing project with belle when she is around of course.
This round I decided to help out with the KAYM Ministry. So since I am in a rosary phase at the moment, why not do rosaries for our lovely mothers of KA. We are talking about 400++ mothers in the church.

So hence this project was planned about 2 weeks from Mothers Day and these are the final outcomes of it. It was very meaningful to me and the people who got involved.Actually it is pretty simple to do. Its stringing 10 beads into one and tie it up and add a cross at the knot and tadahhh. See I just gave out a free lesson to making a simple rosary. I have one in my purse for protection.
PS. I also feel that when I want to buy something I look at it and think do I actually need it or not. My parents will be so proud.

In addition to that we also have 2 bouquet of flowers which is sort of an offering to Mother Mary.Another thing that I got out of this is that I enjoy being in a church. We are all different backgrounds and ages and almost everything else , yet we can get along as we share one thing in common, which is our religion. I need this in my life and I am sure I have grown from this, spiritually and emotionally. So good job KAYM we really made the mothers of KA HAPPY, APPRECIATED, LOVED and proud.

Happy Mother's Day, mummy.
