Paper Making Again (Miri Life Part 12)

21.09.09 Monday

Went to grandma's place for lunch today. Purposely went earlier to spend some time with her. While waiting for the rest of the family to arrive, I took out my recycle papers I got from luzhou (thanks for Meigu!) and started cutting and tearing while chit chatting with her. I got her to help out too! ^^

After lunch, mum, sis and chia joined in to help. I think this is a good simple activity to get everybody involved. Its a good use of chit chatting / tv-watching time. While relaxing, we are contributing something that is environmental friendly. And its so simple it can involve almost everybody - old or young... even kids can tear paper up!

After getting the papers torn up, I went to Marlene's house to make the papers. Because of the 'good' paper qualities, we spent extra time smashing up the papers. Haha. Though it took longer time, the overall the process was successful, and we had about 8-9 pieces of papers I think. We spilted our 'harvest'. Hahaha... Can't wait to make something beautiful out of my "pretty meh?" (as how some people call it) papers. LOL...More pictures here

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008. I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today. I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia. ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market. Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found. Don't think its complete though. Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog. And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

Baby Gundam Born

This is my latest project - BB freedom strike gundam. Hehehe. Oh well, actually I'm just a rookie in gundam modelling. Don't plan to go deep into it though cuz card making is already a costly enough hobby. Can't afford another expensive hobby like this. But gundam modelling is really really fun. I don't watch the anime nor am I familiar the characters, but I'm fascinated by their mechanisms and the beauty of these freakingly intelligent and creative japanese design. Seriously I don't know how they do it and I'm talking about not just the design of the robot "look" but also other aspects. Let's talk about the looks. Most of their looks (adults / baby version) are great. Nice designs on how edges are formed to give that very "solid" robotic feel. The color matching are also great, mostly striking, bringing out the different characters I suppose. They also have different features and weapons that fascinates me. Like this one I just assem...
