In 3 hours' time, I will be taking off to Yoyo bus station to catch my bus to LCCT then flying off to Bali with my ex-boyfriend (my low kung, of course). And here I am doing my last post until I return from Bali...unless I can get access to internet at the hotel. Promise to take loads of pics and keep all of u faithful visitors posted.
Will be back on Thurs 4th June.
Meanwhile do take care and keep blogging!

I love weekends!

Today as I was waiting for Daniel & Dennis to have their trial Taekwando lesson for the 1st time, I went into their school hall where there was a book exhibition. In the hall, I bumped into this lady making a whole collections of Japanese paper dolls and a variety of paper dolls (bride, English girl, etc)

I was vey impressed with her artwork which I think is going to extinct with our modern Cyber kids' world. Her masterpieces really bring back memories of my time when I used to do a lot of craftwork and creative stuff like making paper dolls, making dragon flies keychains , knitting onto Vitagen plastic bottles and putting animal eyes on them, etc,etc.

I bought 2 packets of the origami papers from her at only RM2.50 each and will try to make those Japanese paper dolls when I have the time. If QQ's mom wants to start a flower lolly biznes, perhaps I may consider making paper dolls biznes. ha Ha.

Take a look at her collection of fine masterpieces:











Outrageous? Beauty? Remarkable? I think those creations were genious! What do you think?

Modified Flower Lollies As DoorGifts

Thanks to Lian's idea as mentioned in my previous post for sharing the flower lolly idea. For reasons of enviromental friendly and to cut cost, I've modified Lian and QQ's Mom's ideas by recycling Chinese New Year cards for the petals and Ang Pow packet for smaller layer.
Here they are:



One of the activities for Ju's party is Decorating Flower lollies : to let the kids have a hand in personalising their flower lollies by adding their own designs on the petal and decorate them with glitter glue and Tattoo pens. That would keep them occupied and save headaches of trying to control them (I've got about 30 adults and 30 kids on Ju's party list on 8 june '08) besides developing the kids' right brain.

So what do you think of my modified flower lollies? Lian (sifu) what's your verdict?

Getting ready with her bday invitation cards...

That's Ju at work with her masterpiece invitation cards to be snt to friends invited to her home Birthday T-Party. Her Bday is 10 June 2008 but we are doing it just a day before school reopens...sure better turn up as most people would be back from school holidays then.

Stay tune on the creative flower lollies courtesy of LIAN's ideas and shared by QQ's mom

I won! I won..again!

Comping (taking part in competition or contests) has been my great hobby besides blogging. Over the years i took this hobby more and more seriously. I read up about taking part in contest, buy books on How To Win Contest, etc. Initially winning a consolation also a big challenge for me. I always have phobia on contests which require slogans and taglines or creative signatures. Hwever, after doing much homework and read up a lot to polish this hobby, things became brighter and more fruitful over the years. No one says winning is easy and i also dont truly believe that it all depends on luck like i used to believe. Luck is important if the contest solely depends on it such as lucky dra but those which requires hardwork and thinking cap....you can conquer them if you put in effort and know how to win judges heart. But I must say the judges heart varies and part of it is luck to see which one of your creations capture the judges.

Here's what I win recently from the Ajax Faboloso contest. Actually I won 3rd prize early 2007 in the their Chinese New Year promotion contest (RM2000 SSF voucher to spend)and this time I won the Ceria Raya one (only consolation RM500 SSF voucher...both from same company and product. The contests were both held last year and it normally takes about few months to half a year to receive the result.



happy happy happy...having a big family with 4 kids, winning a contest can be very rewarding to ease the pocket a bit. Besides I really enjoy putting effort to try win the judges' heart.

Anyone out there have the same hobby in comping like me. Care to share your experience and winnings?
