Day 108

18th April (Saturday) : First day in Hanoi, Vietnam for business trip. A mixture of feelings to get to know Hanoi where I see a lot of similarity of it with China. Lots of motobikes.

Day 107

17th April (Friday): Actually busy on packing and yet I am working at night shift. Not a wise arrangement.

Day 106

16th April (Thursday): Have to have dinner in Wan Siew's home 'cos her sis - Annie is back. Sort of a re-union for us all who went to the Australia trip together years ago when we stayed over in Annie's place in Melbourne. The boys had a great time there with WS's nephew.

Day 105
[No picture]

15th April (Wednesday): Can't really remember what had happened.

Day 104

14th April (Tuesday): The DELL laptop that KF order has finally arrived after much delay. Excited to open it and at the same time thinking if I can really keep it. Like the white cover but dissappointed that it is not while inside.

Day 103

13th April (Monday): Mer actually wasn't feeling well when he was on the ride. He was having fever but not until I got home that I realise and confirm that he was really having a fever. So he has been a bit grumpy and quiet that night.

Even when..

I must be crazy about scrapbooking, even when I away from home in Hanoi, Vietnam. I am still able to buy something scrapbook related. I've got myself some lace!! Will surely make something out from it. At the mean time, I'm not able to load any photos from this public terminal available through the hotel.

A lift

Lifted this layout from Creating Keepsakes' magazine. I like the simplicity of it and I love these photos of my sons goofing around making fun in front of the camera, they are just so cheeky.

I made this for the circle challenge over in Color Me Daisy. I've actually used the pattern paper came in from scrapbook deals for you and the cardstock from CMD kit.

The layout is so simple that I keep on thinking if I should add more embellishment on it, I just felt that it is too simple *LOL*.

Project 365

I've just realize that my Day number and Date are not tally, so I've made some changes to make them right. Here goes for the recent ones:

Day 102

12th April (Sunday): Easter Sunday. Went to church. Cal has been extra goody today sitting with Aunt Rebecca while Mer never stop disturbing me. We went for breakfast then had some photo time. After that spend some time in Rebecca's home before heading home and met them again in the evening. Love this photo as it shows how goofy and cheeky they are.

Day 101

11th April (Saturday): The boys will take any chance to go to the farm, have an outing by themselves whenever they see that their grandma is in the field. Here they had to quickly come back in the house as it was drizzling. I love this photo as it reminds me of Dipak (eldest brother).

Day 100

10th April (Friday): Good Friday holiday. Big sis managed to bring the boys to the farm and then to the river. They had a great time there. Like usual, they wanted to stay there till dawn if possible.

Day 97-99
[no photo]
7th April (Tuesday) - 9th April (Thursday): It has been those hectic days trying to catch up with work and also trying to get the boy back to their normal routine. Getting them into bed is one big challenge every night. They'll try to drag on, talk, play or ask for food.

Day 96

6th April (Monday): Late for work. Anyway, I managed to catch the boys with granny watching TV. Normally from 7-8pm, that is their cartoon hour while we have our dinner. Any change of channel will trigger their anger.

Day 95

5th April (Sunday): Before we headed off to the airport, the boys took those last hours going through those toys again while their cousins were away to cemetery. They had some great fun in the air-port too. Going through a maze to get their stamps and finally got a magnet sticker each. But on the way to the plane, Mer lost it somewhere when he fall asleep. Fortunately they were quite ok on the plane. Save journey home! Once arrived home, didn't manage to sleep till late at night for unpacking and preparing for the next day to work and school.

Day 94

4th April (Saturday): When down to Hong Kong after our late breakfast. The boys had been waiting for this day to get to HK. One thing for sure is they love those toys in aunt's place, what more with their cousins to play with.

Day 93

3rd April (Friday): A day out with the boys to WalMart through the park, but we missed the junction and had to turn back. Thank God we manage to find it later after asking a passerby. Love taking their pictures in the open space.

Two cards and a layout

These are the cards made upon request from my sister who wanted 2 thank you cards for her friends. So I've used a sketches from Got Sketch (sketch #79) and Beary Box (card sketch #21). It is so much easier with sketches and kits that are already coordinated. I've used some scrap and also kits from Color Me Daisy and Scrapbook Deals 4U. Thank God for that.

I've done a layout as well over the week, using a sketch from PageMap. But now I couldn't find it. I read it over at someone else blog about the sketch.

I'm using lots of distressing here on my patter paper and the self-made flowers that I've learn online.

These are my boys trying to look goofy in the morning when I wanted to take photos of them.


Happy Monday!

Well, If you win, do let me know. I'm not really looking to get a free class here as I'm staying almost 3 hours away by plan from the event, so I've dropped the idea.

Wish you all luck!!

What's on my mind

Did a page following the sketch over in Page Maps. Another layout using Color Me Daisy March kit plus some Prima essentials 5 flowers and one pattern paper from HOTP from those old kits.


These were us during those days before I got married to hubby (then boyfriend). Amazingly all of us still keep in touch now a days and most probably thanks to the Internet. I've hide my journal behind the main photo using journal tag enhanced on white cardstock, completed with a spiral clip.

I feel like putting more embellishment on the page, but couldn't think of any other.

Paint LO

Did a layout using Pamela Sketch 137 about my boys having fun in the Kiddies Club of Sutera Horbor last month. Thanks Pamela! Thanks to Color Me Daisy for their March kit too, that I'm able to put together this page pretty fast.

It was fun seeing them concentrate in painting. They were excited about it and so proud of their work.

Am using Color Me Daisy March kit which contain Glitz sparrow patter paper, American Craft stickers, Making Memories clip, plus my own Kaiser rhinestone and Bazzill Basic just edge cardstock.

My old but still new kits

Yupe, I've got these two to play with since I got them back from my sister. They are suppose to be gift for her to start her scrapbook, but she never get started and probably won't ever, so she suggested me to bring them back and make good use of them. Yippie!!
I've got the January and March 2007 kits of Paperwishes Personal Shopper. Personal Shopper is actually the first kit club that I joined. I've learnt a lot from their kits especially when there is a VCD coming together on an alternate month which showing all the techniques to build pages. Each month they have included a bulletin which show how to make beautiful pages, extra tags and cards from their kits.

Here is the January 2007 kit (photos taken from Paperwishes website)


This is the March 2007 kit.

Not sure what I'll use them for yet, most probably cards.

I've got another kit came in today since I only get to work today. March kit for Scrapbook Deals 4 U - Jilli Bean Soup. Double Yay from me!!

What a happy Monday for me.

Project 365

Day 91

1st April: April fool day but thank God I didn't get fool at all. We went to a badminton game with hubby's colleagues and I got to play too! It was fun! The boys also loves it thought they never get the chance to really playing it on the court. They were still with the bat after they got home.

Day 90

March 31st: Been a few days now and the boys still play with each other, teasing and chasing after each other, though there are still times that they fight or refuse to sleep with each other over afternoon nap.
