My Crafty Side

Tuesday, August 13, 2013

Was thinking, since I now occasionally work on craft stuff and my hands for random events, parties, occasions, etc - decided to create an entire new blog dedicated to the love or arts and crafts.

So here it is...

Come visit and have a look. Qwerk your comments. Let me know what you think. Share ideas.

Who knows, one day this may be able to provide me with a happy income.

A Bunny-licious Birthday Party!

Monday, March 18, 2013

Preparing for someone's birthday was not an easy task. Especially if:
  1. You have less than a week to plan (coz suddenly decided to go ahead with it after some looong thinking).
  2. You are a bit on the OTT type to work on themes, concept, favours, decor, etc.
  3. Trying to pick out selected and close friends of the birthday person so that no.2 does not become such a heavy task.
  4. Trying to keep it a surprise (especially for some).

So - I can say with all that, a "surprise" party was sprung upon the birthday boy, quite successfully, with the help of some friends (and sister+1).

11 March 2013 : Preparation of the party favours.

Sneak preview of the bunny tail.

Many bunny tails.

The bunny-marshmallows, complete with tail.

14 March 2013: Cupcake Mission!

Well, while that was being done, decided to spring a pre-surprise to birthday boy at his office. His birthday falls on a Saturday, and he was out for a a day trip on Friday, so the surprise was done on a Thursday. After much hassle and begging to a friend to be my delivery gal, mission accomplished!

Thanks to Mama-D for being my super last minute delivery gal!

Off to a quick lunch. Then a quick massage. Then quickly home to prep for the "surprise" - me, I mean...

Birthday Boy (Man)!

Then later in the evening, at Marche, The Curve for some bunny-licious goodness...

Special thanks to:
  1. Donna who became my last minute delivery gal to birthday boy's office. :)
  2. Mel and Terence who became our un-official polaroid and digital photographer. Unpaid but then, dinner was on me! Hehehe... Oh, and they also became my balloon collectors and decor setup assistants...
  3. Joe for becoming the decoy. Was a bit anxious when my decoy man was not answering his phone when it was time...
  4. Birthday Boy's friends for coming to celebrate together-gather!
So Birthday Bunny Boy - did you have a blast?!?

Goodbye 2012. Hello 2013.

Friday, January 04, 2013

I know I have not been blogging for some time already. Actually, have not been Facebook-ing or Twitter-ing for some time too. Must be the age.


As usual, I always like to sum up what went on with my life through the photos I Instagram-ed (easier coz it's all super-filtered and super-effects already... and also squared up already).

Anyway... First thing's first... BB won a Samsung S3 and guess who got it (pointing finger to myself excitedly)! So hence, the pretty Instagram photos...

So, back to the topic... here's snapshots of what was left of 2012.

I've started a new job (smack right in the middle of KL) so these are the sights of what goes on Mondays till Fridays.

Heavy rain in town.
Friday bazaar - for food and shopping.
Street light as this is the time I usually reach home.
My usual order when I am at Lot 10 Hutong for lunch.
Tau-foo-fah stall in the afternoons behind the building.
An afternoon  bus ride for Indian rice lunch.
Season parking. Burned a hole in my shallow pocket.
A usual evening sight. The traffic jam.
UJ having fun during one of my off site days.
Adding some decor to my desk.
A memorable day. Half day on the road coz of traffic jam + flat tyre.


Apparently, this is the Bank's very first Christmas tree!
Had lunch in Petaling Street one quiet afternoon.
Sometimes, just waiting for the time to go home.
Rain, fog, wind. And of course honks from the jam below.
Sometimes, just SA KAI.

Next will be my Woogies' antics. Look at their puppy dogs eyes.

Friski Ho looking ke-lian.
Bobbi Ho helping to clean the floor. Save on mopping.
Friski Ho is inching nearer and nearer and nearer.
Both trying to inch their way inside, bit by bit.
Look at that face.
Bobbi Ho booked a new spot.
