A Handmade Encouragement

Handmade this notebook from scratch - My first attempt of hand sewn book binding :p I found this really useful tutorial on youtube. Feel free to click on the links below if you're interested. And don't be surprised that its in Italian, and nope I don't understand Italian but the visual steps are really clear where he zooms in into the important details of it. So I found this useful compared to the other english speaking ones.


Being his prayer partner, I made this for Ah Boy as an encouragement for his participation in Evangelism class. Well, since its handmade, the book is not perfect where some pages are not aligned and you might find some gaps in between a little. But I would still say, I'm pretty darn proud out this. ^^ Hope this gives him motivation in his 'mission' :D

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...

1st Day in Starbucks

Finally, I stepped over to the other side of the bar as a barista. Woohoo!! My first day in Starbucks! Wow, so many things to learn, so many people to know, so many things to see, observe and remember. This is the most exciting first day ever! I had my first impression (introduction to the company), filled in tonnes of forms, and got a handbook (like an inch thick) which has to be completed within 28 days. Haven't done homework or assignment in years! We did coffee tasting too - Latin American House Blend ^^ Then for the on-the-job training, I got to make 3 cold beverages - vanilla latte, mango passion fruit frap, and ice blended mocha. These names are supposed to be called systematically, which I have yet to learn. And by the way, my whipped cream looked like shit but my training coach said "Ok la!" ^^ Hopefully it wont take too many shitty looking ones until I get it right. Other than that, I had much more practical training on 'sliding' and cleaning. ...
