puzzling things

July 29th, 2010

gosh, i found this draft that was saved eons ago.. i think i was rather angsty at that time, eh?

your face and your privates

women can spend tons of money on their faces because women do not like to put cheap things on their faces. but why do they source for the cheapest lobang when it comes to their sanitary products? i know of many ladies who flock to chinatown to buy cheap sanitary products. it’s just odd that you choose to buy your skincare at expensive department store counters but use cheap products on your privates X’D do men buy condoms from shops that sell them cheap? no, right?

splitting one long bus route into shorter routes

i have no friggin idea how this thing is supposed to make commuters’ lives easier. so instead of wasting time to wait for one bus which will bring you from point A to B, we can expect to waste more time because we will need to take a bus, transfer to train (wait wait wait..), then alight somewhere and take a bus (more waiting) again before we can reach our destination.

also, if you enjoy sleeping on your bus journeys, this too will become a distant memory once long bus routes are replaced by short ones. better look into chartering private buses for your needs!

if the pregnant lady who stays at Bukit Batok and needs to take the MRT to Jurong East, before switching to another train to Tanjong Pagar could have a voice in this public transport shit, i’m sure things would be better. but then if she had a voice, she wouldn’t have to take the shitass MRT everyday.

getting a promotion while on long leave

this is truly amazing. unless this person slept with the boss, i cannot think of any other means to get the promotion. how do you justify a person’s exceptional performance at his job when he was not even present? unless you’re grading his other skills..

what the fuck is going on here?

July 8th, 2010

my nose was feeling a little stuffy and i tried to clear it by blowing it really hard. almost jumped out of my underwear when i saw a blood clot fly out of my right nostril.

It really feels like i was having my 大姨妈 through my nose. So what’s next? Is my next child gonna exit through my nose as well?

help me think of something..

i have seen people become defensive when it comes to their religion, sexual orientation, fashion sense, habits etc.. I am fine with that because it’s normal to stand by our own beliefs.

But to get extremely defensive when it comes to a new phone you’ve just bought? I can’t even think of an adjective for that.

Maybe i should just call you fucktard.

夫妻交谈

cJ: 你真的很象 Shrek.
Tb: i am not green ok?!
cJ: oh that’s about the only difference..

R.I.P ~ Recharging In Progress

June 6th, 2010

well.. it’s been a shitass year for me so far and my shrink told me i am the cause of all this unhappiness and frustrations. maybe i should loosen up and don’t be such a perfectionist. nobody’s perfect.

easier said than done.

anyways i was ordered to rest and recharge so here i am.. *recharging in progress* i am frantically typing out my thoughts in the middle of the night before the monsters wake up for their ghost-hour feeds.

i’ve been sewing for the past two nights. my teen-aged sewing machine works really hard at night while my domestic helper appears to sleep peacefully beside it. before you pity the helper for having to sleep beside a sewing machine that is doing O.T., pls note that 老娘 is the one who wakes up at 1am, 2am, 4am, and 5am, so the helper is the one who gets to sleep a good 7 hours. thanks for your concern anyways.

enough about boring rants. see what i made!

what's this?

what's this?

this item was made a few weeks ago but i didn’t feel like posting it because it was a failure, 失败作品!!

i loved this fabric when i laid my eyes on it! but my mum’s first reaction was “an zua li buay jit kuan bor? char char eh, zuo bag gor cham boo tor, zuo goon jin pai kuah, wa bo pian li!” it loosely translates to “why you buy this type of fabric? it’s so stiff, you can make a bag with it, but if you make a dress it’ll be fugly. i’m not kidding you!”

behold! it's a DRESS!

behold! it's a DRESS!

guess what? as usual, my mum was right! the dress looked so wrong! the drape is just wrong :( i think i might just tear it apart and make it into a bag or something.. the pink and red polka dots are too cute!

yawnz.. another dress..

yawnz.. another dress..

i made this last night and thank god it turned out fine. although tb says it looks weird. it seems like according to him, every single item i make is weird. i think he looks weird too, somewhat like shrek, HAHA!

diaper pouch

diaper pouch

tada! diaper pouch! i finally made something that is meant for carrying baby stuff! this pouch is semi-reversible, or not-so-reversible..

not-so-reversible

not-so-reversible

the inside looks much nicer but i forgot to attach a strap to it, thus making it not-so-reversible!

diaper clutch is big enough for 5 XL diapers or 2XL diapers + 2 pkts of baby wipes + 1 pkt of anti-bacterial wipes + plus 2 toddler t-shirts. this is a shiok shiok size, i need to make some more pouches for hankies, bibs, pacifiers, toys and such! lalala ~

goodnight, babes!

god loves you <3

P&J pouch and random things for neo sister ♥

May 30th, 2010

Happy Vesak Day!~ I hope everyone is somewhat working towards your own happiness.

Paul & Joe ♥

it’s been ages since i last bought any P&J!! the gwp is not fantastic but a girl’s gotta stock up on her skincare products, right?

hmmm… they actually gave out a full-sized nail polish as gwp! i stored it away with my many bottles of P&J nail polish.. sobs.. i really need to paint my nails some time..

sew fun ♥

my hands were itching to sew something small last night.. in the end i decided to finish up the leftover squirrel fabric..

happy family ~

TADA!! i made matching things for the neo sister ~

zippered pouch

zippered pouch

zippered pouch that took me a few hours to make because 1) zipper was a bitch to sew nicely and 2) i made many last minute alterations such as deciding to add the strap after everything was completed because the pouch looked truly weirdshit without it..

simple card case :’D

and yeah, i actually made another baby carrier this weekend! instead of catching up on my sleep i was actually burning away my free time on things which i could live without.. weird huh..

alrighty, that’s all, folks!

p/s: it’s sunday night and i really dread going to work tomorrow morning! X’D

DIY baby carrier~

May 24th, 2010

yayness! i finally made my own baby carrier!

the fabric from ikea costs $20 and since i can make two carriers with it, this carrier only costs me $10 to make!

the straps are wider than my chicco carrier, meaning my shoulders hurt less from the weight of whichever mini man i’m carrying. best thing about the fabric carrier is that it feels much lighter because the fabric is much thinner and lighter than the ultra-padded carrier!!

need to add in a back panel for additional support.. maybe this weekend bah~

somebody obviously does not want to have a photo taken with mama :’(

i can’t wait to use it! and i really hope it doesn’t break X’D

anyways, i got the tutorial from here and here! the japanese site recommended 130-140cm for the fabric length, while the english site recommended 142cm. i thought it’d be safer to stick with angmoh dimensions since most of us are considered LARGE in japanese sizing charts anyways..

it turns out that 142cm is indeed to loose for my build, so.. i shall try to make a smaller one next time.. lalala~

mother tongue weighting won’t be reduced after all

May 11th, 2010

i guess the policy-makers realized that if they were to reduce the weighting for mother tongue, there would be new requests to reduce weightings for mathematics, science etc.. after all, the government can’t possibly suka suka reduce the weighting for one subject just because some weaklings are struggling with it right? if things were that simple, students need not worry about doing badly in certain subjects they are weak at, because hey! if i do badly i can just make noise and the government will reduce the weighting of that subject!

we don’t hear the malays complaining about learning malay, neither do we hear the japanese or french bitching about their own language, so why are the singaporean chinese such a whiny bunch?

learning two languages is to our own advantage mah. why don’t we just deal with it and move on.

new lunch bag from neo sister!!

April 19th, 2010

chun made me a mini lunch bag before i left for taipei! her version comes with a fat gingerbread man who thinks he is a flower :’D THANKS, PAT!!!
