A place for the amateur thinker in me to share my thoughts out loud as well as the occasional ramblings of life as someone struggling to keep up with the responsibilities of being a half grown-up! Hee!

ICY COOL...As pictured, this piece is quite long...put together with glass beads of shades of blue and green. These two colours combined make this peice looks really cool and soothing yet stunning!! Looks really good against a white or black outfit be it casual or dressy...wear it just like that or put it around the neck twice. I like to play around with my long pieces...wear it once, twice, around the wrist, or just however up to your imagination and creativity!! I think I will bring this piece along with me to Melbourne!! *yay* Btw, I'll be going on a holiday to Melbourne and Sydney from tomorrow onwards and coming back a week later!! I've just finished my exams last Saturday and now I'm as free as free can be, ahahhahahaha!! Feels really good to finally close this chapter of my life as an undergraduate student!! Well, some friends told me I should savour this moment and enjoy it to bits as in a few months time if I'm still out of job, I might feel "lost" and "bored"...ahhhhh...that doesn't sound too good ey?!? Well well...before I get there, I think I should celebrate for being free from Uni, ahhahahahha!! It's like as if I were attached with a pair of wings and now I'm finally ready to fly, ahahhahahahha!!
SOMMER DROPLETS...A fun pair that dangles as you move along...Very Boho-like too!! I have to say this pair looks far better when worn (as they drop nicely) but when captured on picture, they don't seem to bring out the "dangly" effect!! I personally love this pair...my favourite!! ;) Very carefree and FREE...just like me, hahhahah, as I've recently concluded my life of an undergraduate student!! *yay*

HEY LILAC...Very delicate pair of earrings carefully put together with Swarovski crystals of two different sizes and two different shades of lilac. Was going to name it "HEY JUDE" initially because the song was playing in the background while I was making this lovely pair!! Of course not forgetting that Geon was trying to play that song on the guitar too, ahahhahah!! Love that song, reminds me of ALison...she sang that song when we went to RedBox earlier this year, and she sang it without the help of her singing partner, ahahahhahahah!! I miss her...she's moved to her new place and is still waiting on the internet connection...hmmm...her new place is really nice, but I'm not very happy that she's moved...now she's so far away from my place and it will surely not be as convenient to "drop by" for some Maggi Mee or just to say "hi!!"...We used to go for late night supper together, that's just cause we lived near each other...now that she's moved...hmmm...anyway, I hope she's found a job or at least gone for a few interviews!! Okay, okay...now, I really gotta get back to my books...haih!! They've been calling me the whole of today but I've put them on silent mode or rather the power of procrastination in action!! Ahahahhahahah!!

ANGEL WORM...This pair really did look like ANGELs when I took a picture of them with flash on...the bigger beads were like the bodies and heads and the hooks looking like halos. Anyway, baby blue Swarovski beads at the bottom, climbing up to white glass frost beads, then smaller blue glass frost beads and top off with white glass frost beads again. Silver spacers were used in between beads to break the softness and to display a classy look!! *Ahem* Today is a special day, that is why I insisted on making something out of the beads to mark this day!! =) It's my grandma's birthday!! "Happy Birthday Po-Po and I love you very much!!" My grandma is my favourite old person in this whole wide world!! I recall how she used to "shield" me from getting spanked by my mommy when I was naughty as a kid!! My grandma is also my favourite cook ever!! No one beats my grandma when it comes to cooking...she cooks absolutely yummy food and very creative in thinking of what to cook for the family 24-7!! What would I do without my grandma?? Hmmm...get spanked all the time?? Ahahhahaha!! Anyway, I wish her a very happy birthday, stay pwetty all the time and I can't wait to see her at my graduation!! Yay!! Another good news on this special day...John went for his job assessment today...and guess what?? His supervisor is very happy with his performance at work and has decided to renew his contract next month!! Woo-hoo!! His supervisor said his review was done and the results were very positive...his colleagues say that he's generally a very polite person (and I went, "HUH??? POLITE?!?!?"), helpful (and I went, "WHAT?? HELPFUL?!?!"), willing to keep himself updated with the latest information on IT related stuff (that, I have to agree...), willing to follow up on his work and heaps more of good reviews that I can't even remember, ahahahhahah!! Ok, I must give him some credit...he does indeed take his work seriously and is really dedicated to doing a good job. He's an extremely handy-man when it comes to IT related stuff. He takes pride in what he does and only believes in doing the best...so for these reasons, I think he deserves a new contract too, ahahahhaha!! Congrats John!! Keep up the good work...see, I told you, people do notice your good job!! =) Yay!! *two thumbs up* And today, someone got me a little gift too!! *WinK* I got a new toe-ring, finally!! *Phew* Thanks dear!! ;)

I'm back with more beadie beads after approximately a week of not having made anything!! It feels good to "reconnect" with the beads again!! =) Thanks to my dearest Geon who saw the urgant need in me to go to the bead shop!! I was craving for more beads that I was almost lifeless from the lack of contact with them...I've been really busy with work and studies lately as exams are just around the corner...Geon was such a darling this arvo, he brought me to the bead shop despite his rush for time to complete his assignment, took time out to bring me to the beadie bead shop to grab more beads (to feed my addiction...*yeah*)!! Was only allowed 30 minutes there, so I just grabbed whatever that was "convenient" to the eyes!! FROSTY BLUE...was put together this evening!! A double layered chain with six pieces of blue oval Millefiori glass beads hanging on the shorter strand of silver chain making a mini up-side-down pyramid while six glass frost white beads hanging on the longer chain. The white beads were used to make this piece look more elaborated. A very cool-looking piece!! Ahhhhhh...*addiction fed*!!

ORIGINALITY is CREATIVITY...*wondering* Do people really feel good when copying things others do, without really thinking?? Sorta like doing it just because others do it?? Nah, I don't mean copying homework or assignment...talking about people who lacks originality and tries very hard to be who they are not...a bit like trying to replicate another someone on planet Earth. I have a feeling it's an insecure thingy that makes a person vulnerable to follow what others do...you reckon?? Despite the evidence I have following my *theory*, I think future researches should invest more time and money into this interesting area of research. *Ahem*...Looks like I really did learn something from the Psyc Reports!! Opps, btw this is a picture of my mom's hand with Hanna designs, done by me!! Ahhahhahahha, she wanted a simple design, but I wanted to spill my talent all over her hand, ahahahhahaha!! *tsk* *tsk* *tsk* These pair of hands have demonstrated so many times again and again God's love in action in my life...My mom does the laundry everyday...each piece of our clothing at home is hand-washed by my dear mom, hung up to dry in the sun, collecting them in daily before she goes to work and fold and iron them all nicely in the evening before she packs them into our wardrobe respectively!! A mother's love is never ending, as my mommy always reminds me...she says it's like a circle!! Thanks mommy!! =)

PAPAYA SHOWER GEL...a gift from Eileen that she got me when she went back to Spore for a very brief trip!! Came back from work today, head straight to the shower (as I always do) to scrub off the layer of oil/dirt from cooking, preparing food, cleaning, washing, etc, etc, etc from where I work...Yes, I work at a food stall at Indooroopilly Food Court. Highly stressful job, but bearable!! And guess what?? I think I've been performing pretty well lately, my boss surprisingly gave me a pay-rise of $1 per hour!! *Yay!!* Not much, but still...enough to motivate me to go back to work with a smile on my face while serving the customers, ahahahhahahha!! And oh, back to my topic, and so I headed straight for the shower along with my new Papaya Shower Gel and a yellow meshie to scrub off whatever yucky, smelly, blackie, stinkie I brought back from work!! I feel all so refreshed and hmmm, I actually miss eating papaya from home!! :( My grandpa loves serving us papaya for dessert!! When I was back home, I always tried to get away when grandpa served us papaya and more papayas, but now that I'm away from home, and papayas are so pricy here, I miss grandpa's papaya... :(

MARKET DAY...I absolutely love classes on Wednesday mornings!! The markets here sell really funky, unusual, retro, ugly, nice, dull, sweet, stinky, attractive, crappy, pretty, cheap, expensive stuff!! I will miss Market Day!! For this reason, I'm proud to be a UQ student!! *LaMe*...yeah, whatever!! Poeple in QUT don't get such privilege!! ;p Thought of the day: Why do I find shopping so pleasurable??
LAST DAY OF UNI AS AN UNDERGRAD STUDENT...yes! After going in and out of this ear-hurting, noisy-as-hell entrance for approximately 2 1/2 years now, I'm finally grduating soon!! Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll pass my final exams, of course I refuse to think otherwise because I think I've stayed long enough being a student here!! Time really flies, I remembered how excited I was when I first arrived, but now after seeing friends coming and going, I think I'm getting quite tired of this routine...I'd say my life here as a student was really an eye-opener, I see and meet lots of people from all over the world and from very different walks of life...sometimes or rather most of the time, I wonder why despite the looking alike on the outside (we're all homo sapiens), we're worlds apart in the inside...
