Shh...

Tunggu sejuk-sejuk dulu baru nak tunjuk! Haha!

Time

is flying so fast. I found a couple strands of white hair on top of my head and wondering whether it is already time for them to be there.

June is almost here isn't it? No matter how much I keep myself busy, there are still lots of things waiting to be done. Some of them already months old.

I was cleaning up the memory card by deleting unwanted photos one by one. Looking at these pictures of last year's ATCs and drawing makes me MISS drawing SO MUCH. I have not even produce a single ATC or drawing this year.

I really miss drawing.

SO SO MUCH.

Inkpads for Sale

DAH LICIN PUN!!! TERIMA KASIH SEMUA!

Recently, through a winning bid in eBay, I managed to get Cat's Eyes ColorBox inkpads at cheaper price. Not that cheap actually (after converted to Malaysian Ringgit plus the shipping fee), but I am grateful enough as it is still cheaper than the selling price at most craft shops in Malaysia. Last year, I bought my first two Cat's Eyes at RM 9.50 each!

Of course, I would love to have them all for myself, but since ramai yang tanya mana nak cari, so I decided to sell some of them. Memang, ink macam ni tak dijual di kedai2 stationary yang biasa. Kalau adapun dekat kedai art & craft, tapi jarang2 ada dan mahal pulak. Trust me, ink ini sangatlah best. Hasil chopnya cantik sangat!

Baca sebelum beli!

• Ink2 ini adalah original ColorBox, made in USA. Saiz? Kecik jer, sebesar ibu jari, bentuk mata.
• Harga 1 set RM40.00
• Dalam setiap set ada 6 warna. Jadi RM40/6=sebijik RM6.6666667 sahaja! Bayangkan dulu Mango beli 9.50 sebijik di Craft Haven!
• Ada 5 set yang available, Rain Forest, Rose Petal, Primary Elements, Baby's Breath dan Jelly Beans.
• Rose Petals dan Primary Elements adalah chalk ink...yang selebihnya pigment ink. Chalk ink menghasilkan kesan chop yang matte, biasalah macam kapur kan...sementara pigment ink...lebih kurang macam ink biasa.
• Bukan, ini bukan ink fabrik...tapi excellent untuk sebarang papercraft; boleh buat tag, kad, scrapbook, etc.

Shell

Eich! We had shells for dinner a couple of nights ago!

I think I want to glue them together to make a special fridge magnet.

House

Back to my parents' house recently, I found this house-shaped-display-shelf. Made it few years ago during semester break, back when I was still a university student. My brother had already placed it in the attic, to house the spider webs where it doubled as dust collector.

I remember wanting it white, but since not enough white paint left to cover the whole surface, I continue using my brother's watercolor and planned to spray it with clear varnish, like what did to this rock... I'm pretty sure that I stopped after realizing that it looked terrible!

I clean it up with soapy water, and leave it under the hot sun to dry. I already took it home, and looking forward to continue working on it.

I also took a picture of the surviving section of our old house where I was brought up. My father plan to completely demolish it. It was built by my grandfather, maybe 50-60 years ago. This house reminds me to our poor life when I was a kid, but it also gave me lots of good memories. I remember when I was 10, I use palm oil to substitute butter, banana to replace mixed-dried fruit, milk powder to replace fresh milk, and use my mom's large wok to steam cake because we can't afford to buy an oven. Butter, mixed-dried fruit and fresh milk are expensive and we need to go to the town to get them. I wanted to make fruit cake, instead, I got sticky, steamed banana pudding.

Now I realize, I got my early introduction to creativity from Hard Life. An inspiring teacher of all times.
