little beary li

Seriously, I feel like quitting my current job. Eversince my partners left, my morale had been low and there’s no one to talk to (who can fully understand my job stress). And I can’t stand the attitude of my HOD!!! A new immediate superior came recently but I still don’t know how good he is with his job and character. I wonder if I can endure till the time I find out.

Munchies that made me drool :

Guava and coconut gelato.

Cappucino and ham & cheese crossiant from Post Office. Their bacon crossiant is even better!

Biscuits from Queen Victoria Market. 

Here’s what I bought for myself during the vacation :

Children’s illustration books, magazines, tea towel and a pouch with a wonderful illustration by an Australian.

Quite a few postcards, including two Aranzi Aranzo ones which I luckily found while browsing through the shops. Of course I couldn’t miss Hard Rock Cafe and bought a fairy penguin pin to add to my collection. There’s some magnets and postage stamps that I managed to get hold of too. On the background is a cute tote bag from Queen Victoria Market, a pretty big and cheap one. 

If you’re interested in more scenery pictures, please visit my flickr site.

A handmade card for my best pal, Valerie, before I left for Melbourne. I just realised we had known each other for 20 years……time flies………

Lovely postcards from Little Odd Forest. Totally adore them!! Thank you so much, Lynda! 

Mushroom wallet from Florspace. Just love the fabric!!

Hello everyone, I’m finally back from my holidays in Melbourne! Missed reading all the blogs and going through the flickr pictures but will try to catch up soon…..as soon as I sought treatment from the doctor for my back injury. Yes, I missed a step and pulled the muscles around my backbone and now I can’t walk fast or run – what a great thing to have during the vacation. Anyway, hope I’ll be able to post pictures on flickr and blog about them here soon. See you!

I’ll be away for a long overdue break so probably there will not be any blogging or uploading of photos at flickr for the next couple of weeks.  Hope to come back with a recharged mind and body and to share some lovely photos too. But sadly, after my holidays, I’ll be fighting a lonely war at work……..all my great working partners would have left by the time I come back.

Doing this scrapbook page was pretty fast. I just need to do the mapping and the little side note and it was completed! This photo was taken in 2005 at Taipei’s famous attraction – Yang Ming Shan. I sure want to visit Taiwan again in the near future. 

I saw a similar layout at Made With Love and slightly modified it. Struggled for a while trying to get those rectangle cutouts from pattern papers in place but finally managed to get it done. Also get to use the template that Ellia gave me to do up the word “Buddies”. But does this page look a bit plain?? This photo was taken at a floral exhibition a couple of years ago.

Scrapbooking is sure addictive…….more to come……. 

From Angelz Cup at Square 2 Shopping Mall. These are really yummilicious!!! The frosting is not too sweet and the cupcake texture is soft and moist. A great choice for afternoon tea! They even have baby cupcakes for the kids which I think is a pretty good idea.

The search for more cupcakes is on!!!

Saw this card design from “The Ultimate Paper Crafts Collection” and thought it would be fun to whip one up for my buddy, Cindy. It was fun stitching up the bunny but there’s a little hiccup when I was doing french knots for the eyes – just couldn’t get them to look as cute as the one shown on the book. Haha, let’s just hope she doesn’t really catch the imperfection!

Have a wonderful Easter!! (^o^)
