Mini Cross Stitch

Ahhhhhh tomorrow is Friday for everyone and it's FLYDAY for me!!! =D Gonna be offline for about a week. Off to elsewhere =P~ 

Here I am, looking pathetically at my blog archive which is only 4 posts for September and so I got desperate to blog something. Anything. As long there's something. Just to add one more post =.= So I dug up SUPER OLD photos to blog. Something I left out for quite some time already because I was just way too lazy to transfer it from my old Nokia which is now dead. Only until it is dead that I am willing to take out the memory card. 

Ok let me start telling story. 

In case you haven't know, I love doing cross stitch. I have done 3 cross stitches. Big version. The round rattan type. That's the beginner type. I was so hardworking to do those stitches back when I was in Form1. But haven't do it for er.....10years? I love to stitch and sew with hands. I don't like sewing machine. I don't know how to use it. I hate how I need to paddle with my feet and at the same time turn the wheel. It's like driving a car, except that it doesn't bring you to other place. So no, I don't know how to sew using a sewing machine. I only sew with my hands =D

Last year, yes last year, I know it's a year ago, but at least now I remember it's actually last year. I took out this small cross stitch pack that I got for free from somewhere. I can't remember well but I think it's from the catalogue thing that I used to order. A business girl in school. Haha! Earning every cents from that order =P~

Ok continue, last year I took out this cross stitch pack and brought it to office to stitch it up. I was way too free at office that I can do cross stitch. Want to take over my job? 

This is the cross stitch that I stitched. It's tiny. It's seriously hard for me to do it cos the strings are so thin and the net's hole is so tiny that it can only fit a needle. I couldn't remember how long I took to finish this cross stitch. But it was fun! I'm so happy when I finally finished it. Hey! It's beautiful ok!

See how small is the cross stitch and how small are those stitches. My colleagues were saying that if they were the ones to do it, they will be juling already. Hahahahaha~

Oh did I mention it's actually a keychain? Yep I sew both of the stitches back to back and put the chain through the bigger hole on top. I gave the keychain to momma and said the girl is me and the boy is my brother. Hehe =)

Looking at these photos now make me feel like doing more cross stitches. Maybe I should buy one just to ease my itch. Will see how it goes when I do drop by those shops.

Tell me it's nice =P~

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Resident

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
