Photos

Long overdue, these are.

From dinner at TGIF about a month(!) ago:

Dessert at Caffe Cino last night:


The first dessert is a white chocolate eclair - wasn't as good as it looks. The choux pastry tasted a bit stale. The tiramisu was ok, but the really yummy desserts were the macadamia & apricot and lime chocolate truffles. Expensive, though!

Jewellery! I love making them!

The first class - the floating necklace:

One that I made on my own for my friend Azy. Green, dark aubergine and gold beads:

The bracelet here is from the second lesson, and the ring was another lesson. I LOVE the ring.
Then my attempts at making the rings on my own:
I also made another one with faceted jet black beads, and smaller beads around the sides (square glass topaz and bicone aquamarine swarovski). The first attempt was very dissatisfactory so I deconstructed it and put it back together. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of it because I had to rush it for my friend Michelle who is leaving KL. I also designed it in such a way that I knew she'd be able to pull off, and very very few would be able to do so. However, of all the things I've attempted to make on my own so far, I have to admit that my favourite is probably the blue/red/clear one on the left in the photos above.

Old friends, new friends.

It is really nice when you find a new friend. Sometimes it is in someone unexpected. But you should never forget your old ones. I may not talk to a lot of my friends often, but it does not mean that I'mnot thinking about them, because I do. I just have to be better at staying in touch... And apologise for sucking at doing that! :)

Not positive. Aging quicker because of work and negativity. Try to fight it but it's not easy. There, negative again.

I hate it when people think they know you and to try and prove it to themselves, they tell someone else something about you. I hate it more when what they say is not all true, and it results in you doing something out of obligation and politeness. Case in point: peeling potato skins when you are already late for work in the morning. Yes, you heard me right.

Also when people think they know and understand and try to tell you it will be okay when they have no idea what it is you are really going through.

Jewellery making classes are an escape from the world for a couple of hours, when I get the opportunity. It's so much fun. I really should post some photos soon! :P

Busy!

I've been told I need to post more! Lol. Sorry, of late I have been busy with:
1. Work (what else) - these days we get to go home a bit earlier, but we take work home. What nonsense.
2. Trying to get to sports training - interfirm competition is coming up!
3. Making jewellery - my new hobby and craze, but insufficient funds to keep buying materials! :)
4. Spending time with mum & dad who were visiting for a few days.
5. Trying to make plans with Ben - but not gotten far yet.
6. Seem to be angry with the world a lot these days. That takes up a fair amount of energy & time!
7. Did I mention work?

The nice thing about working at the client's office is that a couple of my friends work close by so I've had the opp to catch up with them over lunch. And one of them is now my first prospective buyer of my jewellery! *yay* so excitement! Hahaha.

Crystal Ball

As predicted, Susan Boyle had a meltdown before the finals of Britain's Got Talent.

My next crystal ball call: that I'll be working this weekend. This is one that I hope will not come true!

Have to look for the positives. Positives. Positives... Otherwise I won't make it. Not without wrinkles, anyway!
