Scrapbooking entry again!!!
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Hihi...
It's my scrapbooking entry again...
The month of May has been my most efficient month. See the number of layouts I managed to scrap just in the month of May. I even managed some time out during weekends to scrap... Hohoho...
I'm on maternity leave right now so I have got all the time in the world to scrap... but my tummy is getting heavier each day and I'm getting lazy again... :Þ I just want to lie down and sleep all day...
Take today (26 May 2009) for example. I woke up at 10am... watched some Channel 8 super old shows... went to sleep again at 11am+... then woke up at 2.40pm by a private call. It was around 3pm when I decided to get on my feet and start on my 1st layout of this week (which is the last one posted on this entry).
Every time I finished one layout, I would love that layout more than the others... I guess this is called 喜新严旧吧！
Below are all the layouts I've done in the month of May with the exception of the first one. It was completed in April 2009 but I missed posting it out then cos it was all framed up.
This was the first layout which I managed to complete in less than half an hour time. I simply started pasting everything that was laid in front of me (materials left during past classes) and viola... came this beautiful piece...
And yesh... it was framed up to be hanged on the wall of my daughter's upcoming princess room.
Done in class conducted by Jasmine Low - My favourite MadeWithLove teacher. I'm getting her style already... messy yet beautiful. A Beautiful Mess indeed!
Kua Simi layout...
I love Qi's expression in this photo.Ah Ma took this photograph at CPF Family Day 2008.What a pic!
Hey... mai siao siao... My daughter is a rocker man...
She's named Avril for a reason okie... hehe
QiQi loves playing with the sand.
Bonus layout from the class. I added the red flower on my own to distinguish my layouts from the rest...
Second piece of layout which I managed to complete in half an hour time.Once again, I simply used all the leftovers from Jasmine's class
and pasted it all over the blue cardstock.The only 'my' thing was the coconut tree found on the bottom right hand corner.
Qi's first birthday was actually held on October 2008 la...
In another words, I was 7 months late to scrap this layout... wahahaha... Nonetheless... I made it! Better late than never!!!
A simple layout which I named "Wat's for dinner".I ran out of pink alphabets "A" and "T" so
I used numbers "4" and "7" to replace them.
I don't really fancy this piece of layout cos the cardstock I used was too purplish... Should have used other colours...
What's done is done... so... whatever...
QiQi's first time tasting ice-cream.
This photo is too good to be missed for scrapping la.I love the felt worms and mushrooms used in this layouts.
My PaPa and MaMa with QiQi at the new (well maybe not-so-new)
Henderson Waves Bridge. What a 'grand' relationship ya.
I realized I had some red flower papers with some red flowers embellishments so I decided to scrap a layout with QiQi wearing red.
So this was how this layout came about.
This layout was very well-received by my colleagues.Even my males-hormones-more-than female-hormones Ngak Ngak
(Sharon Ho) likes it!
I've always wanted to scrap a black-and-white layout but it's easier said than done. I finally did it today with the limited amount of black and white items I've had on hand.I love this piece!!!
That's all for now.
Thanks for viewing.

是福还是祸？是祸躲不过！

Actually, I knew this piece of information like two weeks ago but I was too lazy to blog about it.
Some of you might have already known it cos I couldn't keep my mouth shut when there's something big to announce... hehehehe...
Here goes...
Two weeks ago, I was summoned to my big boss' room. Inside waiting for me were of course my big boss Renette and my second big boss Seb. Wa lau eh... I thought what happened sia??? Going to tell me about retrenchment is it??? Scared the shit out of me man...
Okie la... the news was better than retrenchment but it was definitely not a piece of very good news either...
I was told that our bank has not been making profits for the past few months. In order for the bank to cut costs, they have decided to force the people of my department to take unpaid leave. Yes, you heard it right... unpaid leave. In another words, pay cut la.
The rest of the staff are to work on a 4-day work week which means to say approximately 20% pay cut lo.
Since I'm going for my maternity leave for 4 months, this method obviously is not going to work for me. So... my bosses suggest that I take a 5 months maternity leave with the 5th month being unpaid instead.
So should I be happy anot???
Happy cos I can have more time with QiQi and Baby?
Or
Sad cos I will have no income for a month???
I really dunno. I'm taking things one step at a time. Hopefully, the economy will pick up by the end of this year... which is highly possible provided that the stupid irritating swine flu doesn't worsen.
Below are some of the pics taken way way back in January this year, during CNY period. My bank hired a lion dance troupe to 'huat' the bank a bit. Apparently, like bo simi effect lah.
Anyway, post them up to huat the economy a bit *hopefully*...
HUAT HUAT HUAT AH!!!
That's my workstation... the lion was 'huat-ing' that place as it walked past... wahahaha
I know why this lion bo effect liao... look at the shoes the lion dancers were wearing... a total mis-matched with the lion's body
Lion throwing some 生菜 to 生财
The group of aunties getting all excited at the mandarin orange the lion was about to throw... super funny
4 digits for us to buy 4D. I din buy la... waste money only.
Anywayz, 1688 how to buy in during CNY period.
My scrap layouts

My free time is running out.
I predict myself to be
SUPER BUSY after my baby boy comes into this world... so I did a lot of layouts in the month of April 2009 itself.
Not only had I attended the classes enthusiatically, I also did a lot of layouts all by myself.
Here are some of them for your viewing.
My QiQi's date of birth
Colourful layout Number 1 done in class
Colourful layout Number 2 done in class
Colourful layout Number 3 done in class
Colourful layout Number 4 done in class
My Princess Qi. Note: I did not burn the paper. It's the distress ink that's doing the trick.
Little Miss Cheeky
Okie... I purposely leave the top part blank de.
Some colleagues of mine find it too empty while others think it's art... wahahaha
QiQi loves wearing my shoes... I dunno why... so I decide to scrap a layout of her wearing.... what else.... my shoes of course... hahaha
I'm super proud of those I did myself wor... wahahahaha... even my colleagues complimented on it. So far, I managed to influence 3 of my colleagues to scrap... wahahaha... I think
