SHERA'S BORDER

This is probably the last rest day I get to laze around. The next rest day I'll need to start packing up my stuff... yea, got tonnes of crap!... Since today is 'relaxing' day, I decided to assemble this keroro thingy which I got from Chia as a birthday present like ages ago. So with my christmas music (yep, its still christmas for me :P), my diluted cup of joy tea, and the quiet night.... I put this keroro to life ^^ The parts Finished ^^ Met BB gundam.... oops~! :P and the rest of the family (seems to fit in well..... ^^)

With just a blink, tomorrow will be the last day of 2009. Wow...time really flies. I have my rest day today..and ended up wasted almost a day stoning and watching 'friends'. As the evening drew near and the construction noise starts to fade away, I figured I need to quiet down too and review my life in 2009. Tomorrow will be a busy day with work, so I don't think I'll have time for 'quietness'. So, with my cup of joy tea, I meditated today. However, honestly, i feel the distance as if my prayer just bounce off the ceiling... you know, one of those days where you pray hard and feels nothing. Then half way through, you'll wonder "is He listening to me? should I go on?" Oh well, its ok I guess, because God is there and loves me no matter I feel it or not. Its a fact, not a feeling :) Neways, as I think back to 2009, no doubt I find ups and downs, loneliness and happenings, heartbreaks and comforts, success and failures, satisfactions and d...

Continuing the post about my recycling project :) I wanted to share some love in my work place this christmas. So I use the recycling paper made from the Starbucks packaging papers and make some christmas bookmarks / mini cards. Hope they'll like it. Gotta get ready for work. Will post the detailed pictures some other time. Till then, Merry Christmas Everybody! May your days be merry and bright :)

This is the first time that my brother and I are not spending Christmas at home. So yesterday he invited me over to his place to have christmas dinner.

I've been collecting some packaging papers from Starbucks during work. These are normally being thrown away and I see their 'potential' to make pretty recycle paper. So I collected them and intend to make something pretty out of crap from the trash :) Not completed yet. More to come. Stay tuned :p

I finished my shift early yesterday and stayed back to hang round... while doing do, I just snapped some pictures :p This is closing the BOH (Back of House), where we have to clean the grease trap, which is filled with wonderful slimy thingy and basically wash everything that a cafe partner slides :) Most partners get this on their first day as a 'welcome-to-the-store' thingy. ^^ Goofing Around :) Boss so rajin ^^ Hahha... luckily not caught facebooking ^^ I love this T-shirt design. Christmas shirt of one of the pass years

Accidently bumped into my first piano teacher, Mei Lian Lao Shi, today! ^^ I was six when I started learning with her. She is a very very caring and patient teacher. For a lazy student like me, she never scolded me, but passionately taught me. I still remember spending the night at her place before my piano exam. She would take extra time to coach me, then drive me to exam next day, all the while taking care of my food, place to sleep etc. After my grade 4, she got married and moved to brunei. Since then, I've hardly seen her. She's one the best teachers you can ever find and I'm really glad I bumped into her today :)

Received snail mail from Grace today...... christmas card all the way from London :) She's a friend who's always there when I needed someone. The distance and time difference has and will never stand in the way of our friendship, to share everything that we go through in our lives. I thank God for such a best friend :) Thank you Gin Li & Merry Christmas to you too! ^^ I love the card, and appreciate the thought.

Some more christmas cards I made which due to my laziness were not uploaded :p I specially like the second one.. hehe ^^

Woohoo! Got my present today ^^ This is the present from my swap partner Jeslyn for Christmas swap organized by Agnes . Hehehe.... Look at all these handmade crafts made from the heart. So wu sim la....... wow!.... I was expecting only 1 present but ended up I got .... 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 gifts !!! Check them out! Hehehe... I specially love the handphone hanger and the knitted flowers... so sweet~~~ Thank you Jesyln for all the thoughts and heart in making these gifts. Merry Christmas to you too :)

Whoops...! Last minute again :P This is something I prepared for the Christmas Swap organized by Agnes . Hehehe... Hope the partners ( Shannon & Hoyoyi ) will like my simple little gifts :) They both make lovely fabrics and knitted crafts. Oh, I admire people who can sew. It's such delicate work. Till then, gotta go post these parcels and off to work.... Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!!

The La Marzocco machine is the baby to manually make handcrafted espresso drinks. We have the automated Verismo in our store which is more convenient but with things automated there's not much skill required to making the coffee. To me, making coffee is an art and with the La Marzocco you can feel that. My boss knew I wanted to play with this machine and it was so thoughtful of him to bring me along to the Christmas party at Shah Alam today, where the store has a La Marzocco. I felt paisay to make more drinks other than the ordered drinks (wasting other people's cost ma... :p). So only made one order of Caramel Macchiato. The experience is totally awesome! I'm actually starting to miss it already... whu whu... Wish I had one of these babies at home to experiment myself.

I simply love the snowman and christmas tree patterned papers ^^

Some christmas cards I've made. Some given away, some for sale. ^^ More to come. Gonna rush for work now :) Have a nice weekend everyone!

I was so excited with my christmas present that I could wait any longer to get my hands on them. These are 2 cards I made with my new christmas papers last night. The papers are so nice already that I didn't need to design a lot. Hehe.
