people say that
is good for the soul.haha.
ok so that's not what people say, but that's what i say, even though it's not good for one's wallet. :P
anyways, i've been making loads of jewellery to past the time away, and today we went bead shopping (yet again.) but i've decided to update with some photos today! :)
i was awoken after a dreamless sleep this morning (well,.. sunday morning) and had to struggle to get out of bed.. usually i just get to sleep til whenever so it was odd being dragged out of bed today. :P anyway, we had to go to church, and i was so tired i could barely stand up without wobbling. after church we headed to my aunt's place for lunch. pretty nice lunch although i didn't eat that much, so i got really hungry whilst we were walking around the bead shops. :P
(actually i'm also really hungry right now..) bought loads of charms and beads and stuff from the shops, burnt a nice hole in mum's wallet. haha. :)
we went home after that, without the rents, and i commenced the ritual arrangement of the new things into our plastic containers and new boxes. :D then continued making more jewellery whilst watching the last 3 episodes of Heroes season 1.. thank the lord for this weekend's Heroes marathon :D it was my main source of entertainment. (:
anyways, these few pics are what i've been getting up to these past few days. =D
here is the wicked ass earring rack thing that spins mum bought for me during our previous trip to the bead shops. it's getting fulll :D

hohum. today, i officially start secretarial work for mum. woot.
so i shan't be here too often! :P
went to return some library books yesterday, and met hamz there.. after which we proceeded back to her place. however, it started to pour down mercilessly. we ended up taking a cab from the bus stop right outside her house into the place, because it was raining so so much and my poor umbrella would have blown away as soon as we started walking. plus we would both have gotten soaking wet at least on one side of ourselves! :P grr to the rainy season.. i gave her the bracelets i made for her, as well as a charm bracelet i made for her. =D i went home at around 7.30 when it had stopped pouring down with rain.. all was calm..
anyways. i best be off to start doing some work! =)

edit// last sunday of the year! woot! :)
Had our new neighbours over yesterday for afternoon tea, seeing as none of them were my age, I simply threw myself into the food preparation =P
Quail egg, pineapple and cheese.

pineapple, cheese, cucumber and sausages.

egg mayo on little toast things

sweet chilli, and philadelphia cheese on toast things.

the island. :)

toblerones!! :D

famous brownies =P

Marks and Spencers fruitcake. blegh..
after everyone had stood around the island enjoying the food, i went to my room to speed make a necklace to give one of the older girls for christmas under mum's orders. =P
the little girls came to watch, curious as to what i was doing, and soon we were making bracelets with elastic, and soon enough all the ladies had gathered around the bed looking at the jewellery making stuff and the earrings we had made. we sold probably about 7 pairs of earrings, and ordered 2 bracelets =D lol. didn't expect to do that!
had to attend some dinner for dad's hainan association tonight. the music was... *
shudders*
i've never enjoyed chinese songs.. let alone chinese opera style songs!

New experience today.
Driving on freakin' WET roads.
I mean, the cool air rushing through the windows while tearrain drops splatter on your cheek is.. kinda nice. But trying to keep concentration on what the driving instructor is saying, the wet roads, and keeping the car straight just sent my brain into a confused frenzy. He also made me do a 3 point turn, twice! That was not fun. It wasn't explained very well, so I got mildly confuzzled. And I spose I better brush up on my road rules. Hmmph. I got every single answer wrong when he asked me. =P BAH. Driving ain't no bed of roses. I don't care how many times people tell me it's easy, I don't think i'll ever get the hang of it properly.. My brain functions weirdly... hahaha.
Made a new bracelet today (yes, i know, not ANOTHER one!) But I was bored... =p
Here is a series of shots. Don't mind my arm, my skin is horrible at the moment.
Why yes, that is my laptop in the background.

It's got odd green swarovski and teal crystals, as well as cool flower bead caps and things. :D
Not looking forward to tomorrow as much. I just hope it doesn't freakin' rain again. That was unpleasant. I mean, I love rain and all, just not when I'm driving. Not very nice.
Sposed to go visit Audrey tomorrow, I don't know if i'll be able to! Ah well, I shall try my hardest. I wanna see Richie darling again. Even though he is
much too hyper :P
edit// i decided i'd fully remove the music portion of my blog. it was gettin irritating :) //endsLabels: bracelets, Driving, weather

OKAY so I got back from my driving lesson well and alive! :) And I have escaped unscathed. =p
Except for a kid who ran out in the middle of the road, god i was so stressed out. typical accident scenario, where the ball rolls out in front of the car! and of course, he runs out to go get it. fortunately i was still fairly far away... i'm not so good with the braking and accelerating, not really no. heh. but i spose it's easier than it sounds. at least i'm not learning manual! =p And I most definitely don't want to drive mum and dad's car, it's simply too big for me too handle. the one time i've driven it, i found it so hard. and that was just around the freakin roundabout outside my house. o.o

I was really craving a Maccas mini snack wrap, at $1.95 a wrap they are the most delectable and semi healthy things Maccas has put out in awhile. :)

Mum took Jerri & I there for dinner, or rather, we went through the drive through because my dingbat of a sister wore her PJs... And I got 2 mini snack wraps =D So my craving was satisfied. :)
Other than watching That 70s Show today, I made some bracelets after getting back from driving.
Here's one i made for jerri, it's
tres cute.
Jerri's arm. Well.. Wrist.
It looks better in real life, I swear. =) Pictures don't do my jewellery justice! :P
This one here is the necklace I forgot to take a pic of yesterday cos i was wearing it. :) Audrey likes it too.. hahaha.
Speaking of Audrey, she gave me an early xmas pressie =D These chocolate shoes were almost too beautiful to eat. But Mum and Jerri overrode that thought and stabbed the 'Merry' shoe with a knife :O We still have the "Christmas" shoe sitting in the box. =P They came with a very sweet card. :) Which reminds me, I have to go xmas shopping with what is left of my bday moola :)
Ahh, so I must head to bed. I've spent the last couple of hours helping
Hamz edit a blogskin and personalise it a little. A speciality of mine :P hehehe.
More driving tomorrow. God. Save.
Us. All. Me.

I love my just about 3 year old camera. Tis a Nikon Coolpix P2 and it functions b-e-a-utifully. :)
Even my dad is in awe of it. :D And he is hard to please! lol.. I hope it stays alive for awhile longer, i'm going to be very sad when it does die. :(
Been making some jewellery today, ahh forgot to take a pic of one, but it is hanging around my neck, so meh.
Made 2 necklaces, and a bracelet, all of which I have never ever made before! My speciality lay in earring making.. :P
Used orangey-pink cloisonne beads and a whitishyellow pearl for this pendant. Looks okay, I was sort of uninspired.. haha
Large green plastic bead with random swarovski crystals and cloisonne bead.
! Mon Piece de Resistance ! =D
A bracelet, with brownish & whitish pearls, as well as clear swarovski crystals and silver bead caps. lol
This picture isn't that great, but it picks up the detail of the flower bead caps well..
This pic sorta dulls out the bead cap, but the pearl colours are nice.
-
I made this one for Audrey yesterday, but mum helped with the necklace cord, I just did the pendant. She liked it muchly =D

Aside from jewellery making, I was rudely awoken by the sound of Yoda saying "Your phone, ringing it is, press the button you must." =p
It was the driving instructor, who i was only supposed to be meeting at 2.30pm today. And what, you may ask, was the time then? Only 8.30am! I was freaking out, and mum wasn't even there, so i quickly rang her, because he was outside and i was in no fit state to drive! I was only semi-conscious, having had a late night yesterday.. lol. so there goes my lesson for today, cos the dude got it wrong.... hmm. i'm not loooking forward to them anyway, i'm too paranoid to get behind the wheel and drive. The only time i've ever gotten behind the wheel, we barely made it past the neighbours house because mum was too paranoid about my attempt at driving. hmm the paranoia must be genetic! lol. but yeah, not looking forward to it one bit, partly because of the pressure i'm under to try and take the driving test ASAP, and partly because i have never intended to learn and am most displeased that i have to now. i have great doubts in my ability to handle cars, the only thing i can do in them, is pop the hood, pop the boot, start the engine and turn the radio on! (argh i just brutally stabbed my ear with my thumbnail. it is now throbbing.) anyway, i just can't wait for this bloody week to be over.
Leaving for Spore soon, and i'm so happyhappyhappy. I wanna see my dad, and my bestest friends again. :) and i wanna escape the summer heat!! lol. actually it's been pleasant lately, warm with a chilly wind.
going to good ol' harbourtown with audrey on friday, for some much needed retail therapy. :)
xoxo
