Handmade Dolls

Have been trying to do some art crafts because the colleague brought the felts and threads to the office.
Ah, never can resist the temptation of doing art craft!
The felts are like seducing me by their rainbow colours.

Bookmark with the red boot!

Should've done this during last month to match with the season.

Then, after that I proceeded to a harder challenge which is the 3D toy!

Guess what? *wink*

Feeling exhausted after completed the head.

Was midnight by that time.

And Ta daaa! 

My first ever handmade toy was born on 11.01.13.

Yay! *clap claps*

They said every toy should have a name.

So, GARDY the BEAR. 

After I finished sewing Gardy, I got attracted by the owl doll again.

Then, there goes the second attempt.

A much easier owl doll.

Hell yeah, WILLY the OWL!

Baby born on 12.01.13

The satisfaction can filled the stomach as soon as the mission accomplished!

Some said they look like toys that I bought from the shop and never believed I sew them.

I never felt sad of the disbelieving because that proved that my skill is good to compared with those selling in the market!

And some said I can open a shop.

Ah, a lot of compliments I've received. ( Allow me to show some proud faces once awhile. Don't feel sick with my sometimes self-obsession. LOL. )

Fingers being pricked by the needles a few times, but worth it!

Work hard, Break hard

Holidays were over. Everyone is getting back to their daily routine, students go back to study, workers go back to work and even housewives started to get busy with their chores.

I know fast-pace, stressful and hectic life has just begun.
However, just don't forget to press the "pause" button of yourself.
Take a break when you need!

I used to think that surfing the internet or watching dramas will do the trick.
Well these ideas may seem on track, but that's actually not working even cause the worst effect for me.
( Typical IT stuff addicted person, sometimes I think maybe I should be sending to the rehab, if there is a. wtf, why there is internet connection in the world! )
Why not working?

A break means you have to break your original pattern.
That means if you working in front of the computer, get away from it during break time. If you work indoor, go outdoor to have the fresh air.

These are the 50 ways I found on the internet.

A way for a day, keeps the stress away.

I tried some, effective enough!

I believe a lot of people has a to do list for the new year.

So, you might want to carry this along as a reminder.

People says they take a break to go for the longer path. 

Do the right thing to make yourself rejuvenate!
Don't over break, because it will make you feel lazy.
Just like me sometimes taking the break times as an excuse to rest and finally I become lazy to do other things. Some #bad habit that I should change! ( another new year resolution added )

Have you RESO yet?

They called it today a special day, 5201314.
And it is the forth day of year 2013.
I think I shall blog about my New Year's resolutions before this special day ends in a few more hours. ( I know I'm late. )

Talking about new year resolution, I remember when I was in high school my tuition mates always complaint that the English teacher would asked them to submit their new year resolutions every year.
So, they wrote till bored.
Whereas, me, I never write any new year resolutions for the past 24 years.
What the hell with me, like a person live with no goals.

My biggest target in year two zero one three is #to save more money.
Okay, I'm so realistic.
I need money to invest, to travel, to upgrade the lifestyle, to make my bank book look nicer with more zeros. Oh, greedy me!
OH YEAH, SAVE MORE!!

Given the hectic lifestyles of millions people, it is no wonder that "enjoying life more" has become another popular resolution of  people, including me myself.
I hope I can become #happier and #healthier.
Therefore, I brought a small bottle of milk powder to my office.
I shall start drinking milk before I get osteoporosis when I get older.
Seriously, I don't want just sit on the wheel chair when I'm old.
And I should try to make a good change of my attitude towards people.
Is not easy but I'll try la.

Awww, can I be as cute as the baby??

Not the look, but the #personality.

I wanna wanna hug him.

Super duper feels wanna pinch his face. ( Not sure whether is a He or She )

Anyway, baby don't like face get pinching.

Penang Isle 17-22。12。12_02

Who don't know Penang's famous food?
If you don't know, you're prolly not a Malaysian.
Everytimes when I visit Penang, I must eat their Char Keuy Teow, curry mee, Hokkien mee a.k.a prawn mee, Char Koay Kak and Or Jian a.k.a fried oyster with egg.

WARNING: If you're hungry, don't scroll down! LOL.

I seriously think that any stall in Penang that sells Char Keuy Teow can beats Kuantan's.

No need purposely search for the most famous stall.

The best part about Penang's curry mee is they serve with peppermint leaves and pig blood. But, too bad I don't like both of these.

The soup still taste good!

Look at the texture! I'm feeling hungry now.

The corner of the picture is actually the Hokkien mee but I didn't took photo of it.

This called Char Koay Kak.

The square like cake is made of rice flour and white radish.

The taste is lifted by the soya sauce which absorbed by the egg and cake.

Oh, nom nom nom!

Something new in Penang food stall!

Wanna be a millionaire? Try this!

Because they called it Million Mee.

It served with two type of sauce sweet or salty and some pork.

Depends on you to choose.

The mee is like the pan mee we usually eat.

I've tried the mee with sweet gravy as recommended but I don't like it as I don't like sweet food except desserts.

Have been hearing this Roselle drink for sometimes.

Taste sweet and sour a lil bit like Rebena.

And the flower can be eaten taste good thou.

Penang popular with drinks that I seldom heard nor drink before like nutmeg drink and lemongrass drink. 

I never know the usual lemongrass that appear in Thai cuisine can be cooked into drinks.

First ever time saw the fresh nutmegs. 

The red one was its skin.

My mom really likes those nutmegs but I just can't stand with the strong smell.

After talking about food, let's go to the best known Kek Lok Si temple.

Another must go place!

12 Chinese zodiacs.

Despite last year I went there was Rabbit year, unfortunately not my year, 

   but I still managed to take photo with the Dragon before the year ends!

 Dragon RrRawWw!

The George Town view from the peak of the temple.

The time when I visited there, a lot of workers started to wash the statues, the floor, built up the light bulbs, put up the big red lanterns.

Apparently they were preparing for the biggest festive season for the coming year which is Chinese New Year to make the temple looks extraordinary brightest building in Penang.

Just like the picture below !

I can imagine how pretty it is when everything is lighten up!

Some random shots on the cute plants.

Don't blame my skill.

I somehow think the clouds looked like cotton candy.

I wish there are fairies paint them with pastel colours!

Cheerio!

Last Saturday in DEC

Today probably is the saddest Saturday for December.
Oh gosh! The last day of the holiday and the last day for me to wake up in the afternoon.
Don't the holiday suppose to be extended till 1st Jan 2013!

Tomorrow is Sunday and I'm going for a meeting.
And I officially start to work during the New Year Day!
Apparently I don't have holiday during 1st of JanuarY. (sad case)
Wth with the Terengganu's gov!!! What principle are they holding?
They don't allow public holiday for the New Year Day! Ish!!!

As I first started to work, when I know I don't have holiday during New Year I never have chance to countdown during New Year Eve. *sob sob*
Because I need to wake up very early in the morning to work and I can't sleep too late the night before.

I still can't get used with Terengganu's holiday even thou I've been working for few years.
I miss the life in my hometown. Truly miss.
Because we don't have this abnormal no New Year holiday scenario and I still think that Saturday and Sunday suppose to be the weekend and I suppose to say Monday blue instead of Sunday blue. wtf.
When can I shift back to my hometown?

Sad as thou I'm a lost girl.
