Quest for Food
My life is tragic..
After 1 whole month of VERY YUCKY confinement food, I have been hankering after ang-moh food.
Tuesday:
Planned a Botak Jones trip - Failed because it rained
Asked mother to ta bao Long John Silver's from Bishan - Closed for reno
Asked mother to ta bao Macdonalds instead - Also closed.
Ate a super yucky wanton mee.
=(
Thursday:
Dinner at Plaza Sing - Ordered pasta, which was pretty good the last time I ate it - Pasta was so salty that I couldn't finish!
And no time to buy any other food cos rushing to CG.
=(

047: Life is not measured in minutes but in moments
Done for MR Challenge #12:
Using at least 7 photos that you have taken from the same day you are to create a layout (any sizes) / mini album / frame work using no more then 3 pattern papers with the following :(doubled sided papers will be counted as 2 pattern papers)
It took a long while to pick out 7photos of the same day and then think of how to arrange them on a 12x12. In fact I've to cheat by cutting up one photo into half as I had only 6 photos!! Oops! I really love the series of photos though as they show Sophie and Zoe together, with Sophie doing her "sayang meimei" actions.
Originally wanted to use a Heidi Swapp clock face (where I got the quote from) but realised there is no space to fit the clock face in. Oh well. Use it on another day then.
Papers: K & Company Que Sera Butterfly Garden (both sides - red and yellow), Fancy Pants Designs 8x8 Daily Grind paper pad (beige grid), navy blue CS from DCWV Summer Cardstock stack for photo mats
Alphas: Doodlebug Loopy Love white, Making Memories tiny alphas black
Embellishments: Hamblys Frame Wallpaper in yellow and magenta, Creative Imaginations Narratives Blue Bell Frame transparency, 7Gypsies gaffer tape in Measurement black, October Afternoon Cherry Hill cardstock stickers ("Smile" and words), flowers from KaiserCraft, random buttons, eyelets and brown ribbon saved from some leftover.
Effects: Tearing of pps (didn't turn out as torn as I would have liked), stitching on the "smile" sticker and buttons.

- office supplies (staple, paper clips, note pad papers etc)
- add a date (it help us to remember when things happened)
- journal what happen on that day (how is it possible that you have a date but no story?)
- Hambly Overlays
- 7 buttons and/or 7 flowers
- tearing

The Most Precious Gift
.. is not money

046: K is for Kong Kong
K is the first letter of the alphabet mat Sophie learned to recognize as "K" for Kong Kong. Eventually she got to "P" for Papa, "M" for Mama, "Z" for Zoe, etc.
Words she can say now:
1. Papa (first word!)
2. Kong Kong (though she pronounces it more like Geng Geng)
3. Tita (Filipino for Aunty - my maid)
4. Mama (I think she means me but G insists it means his mum! Damn.. I am the last person to be acknowledged by my own daughter lor.)
5. Nen Nen (Argh.. she calls my breasts but not me!)
6. Popo (only once or twice)
7. Meimei (only once!!)
8. Uh (I think its her approximation for UP = upstairs, the room where G and I sleep. She has a recent fascination with climbing stairs and will always point up and shout "Uh" at the same time to indicate she wants to go up)
So, LO for FIL's birthday was inspired by the K is for Kong Kong.. May I say I didn't knoe what else to title?? I am not really close to my FIL and do not talk to him a lot. And this had to be a simple quick LO squeezed out in between attending to either screamer jiejie or yeller meimei = no time to think!
Paper: Cardstock from American Crafts Neutrals
Alphas: Doodlebug Loopy Love (red), Making Memories Felt Alphas (blue), Making Memories Tiny Alphas (white and black), large blue chipboard K from a long-ago RAK from Wati
Embellishments: Prima rubons, Prima Say It in Crystals Swirls in pink, lace doily from random shop in Toa Payoh ($2.50 for 50 pieces!! Cheaps!!), buttons from Autumn Leaves Bag-o-Buttons Techno Pop, Maya Road A Year to Remember Sheers with the date of FIL's birthday (July 1) outlined in KaiserCraft blings, Date sticker from October Afternoon Cherry Hill Cardstock stichers, rectangular artisan clear overlay from My Little Yellow Bicycle Love Letters Clear Cuts.
Effects: Painted edges of CS in MM paints (Cantaloupe and Deep Coral from the Fresh Anthology range). Tried to paint in handprints of S and Z (lower left corner) but it looked so ugly that I covered up with a rubon!
