Taiwan (Taipei) Trip 2013

We had a visit to Taipei September 2013, mainly to visit an old friend of my dad, Uncle Nam Boo and his wife. It was a first time to Taiwan for all of us (mum, dad, sis and me). Since Aunty Xiao Lan is a local, they KNOW where to bring us, for beautiful places and good food. They even shared their home with us so we didn't have to worry about accomodation and drove us almost EVERYWHERE, so we didn't have to worry about transport. Also they applied leave from work so they could bring us around. We were really touched by their gestures and also we enjoyed spending time with them. It was such an enjoyable and memorable trip that we all look forward to visit Taiwan again.

I compiled our travel pictures into 2 photobooks (as slides below) and plan to give them one set a thank you gift. I designed the photobook using Photobook Malaysia and the Snapshot ready template. First thought of sharing as pictures, but then there is a lot of pages which might take up a lot of space. And so I thought, why not try find one of the free photo slides website. After googling, I gave Photosnack a try. However, since I'm using it for free, embeded slides can only consist up to 15 photos. Well this is still good enough for me, as I just need break up my pictures a bit, which is not a lot of work.

Now I can't wait for the photobooks to arrive and also to send to them. This is kinda late (over half a year after), but I hope they will like it. Our wonderful memories for this trip belongs to them too.

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. ...
