S Size

I am so happy that I am able to fit into S size again. :D I can actually go into XS but must leave some space in case I put on weight again. ;)

Just bought a jeans and a sleeveless blouse for CNY. Going simple this year coz I have a fully breastfeeding baby who is still feeding on demand.

Since these clothings are for CNY; must leave some space for expansion. :D

Now my tummy is growling thinking of all the yummy food served during the CNY.

Summer Doll Dress for Girls

My 5yo has been bugging me to sew her a dress. She must be thinking that if her mommy can sew cloth menstrual pad and panty liner, she can sew anything!

The best place to learn is from Youtube. After a few search, I found this How To Make Summer Doll Top. It looks so simple and easy to sew. After watching twice, I head to the living hall and start cutting and sewing. It took me 3 hours to complete the dress (11pm-2am while all my children are sound asleep)! The toughest part was turning the string inside out; my safety pin got stuck coz my string was too narrow. So, have to sew another bigger one.

This tutorial in Youtube is actually for an adult top but I improvised and make it into a dress for my 5yo girl. Instead of tying around the neck, I sew buttons. It is not perfect but not bad for a first timer! hehehe. This is my first time sewing a dress and never learn sewing before in school (i was in Science class).

What do you think?

My mom is satisfied with my handwork too. :) I am sure gonna sew more dresses for my girls. This CNY, they will be wearing Mommy’s brand dress. :lol: If I can steal time.

My Pimple is Back

After a few months of pimple free, 2 of them decided to came for a visit during the weekend. I guess my hormone is slowly waking up and started to terrorize my acne prone face. I regretted not going for acne treatment then. Due to it, my face is like the surface of the moon. :( But what to do, then, my parents could not afford to send me for any acne treatment or buy those expensive acne cream. And I got itchy hands; can resist not to press pimples. Thank God Hubby, then boyfriend did not look on the outward beauty. :D

Taking Care of Leather Jacket

Recently hubby bought 2 leather jackets. One from online and another from a walk in seller. Both are used leather jacket but hubby does not mind about it because buying a new leather jacket would cost him a fortune. Since both leather jacket has not been used for quite a while by the seller, the leather jacket is quite stiff so hubby bought a leather restorer to soften it. He read from the internet that you have to use a special hanger to hang the leather jacket, the one with the sponge like those tuxedo hanger. You also cannot fold your leather jacket and most importantly, it must have air to breathe because leather jacket is made of animal skin and we have to take care of it like we take care of our skin! So mahfun! :P

Certified Diamonds

I read in the newpaper recently of a husband who cheated on his wife. Each time he cheated on her he will buy her a diamond as a form of apology but he keeps cheating on his wife and his wife keeps receiving diamond after diamond. I can’t remember the rest of the story. I think she asked for a divorced and attempts to sell all her diamonds. I hope they are certified diamonds and not fake ones. ;)

Expensive Ears

I have a pair of expensive ears. Yes! That is what I call my ears. They are expensive not because I went for plastic surgery to make it perfect but my ears can only accept gold earrings or earrings made from dried garlic stems; just a stick to poke through the hole. I use this as earrings when I was in school because we are not allowed to wear fancy designer jewelry in school.

If I tried using earrings that is not made of gold or plants, my ears will swell. Just the other day, my girl asked me to try on my sister’s silver coated earrings. A few minutes after taking it out, the hole started to feel pain and watery. Due to this sensitiveness, I ended up not wearing any earrings at all.

No Wedding Anniversary Again?

I just realised that this year we won’t be celebrating our wedding anniversary again. We missed our wedding anniversary when I gave birth to my firstborn and now again with my last born. On May 12, I will still be in confinement. It means no going out and no eating outside food. We could go celebrate the occasion after my confinement but it won’t be as meaningful as celebrating on the day itself. I hope hubby will pick a very nice jewelry from holsted to compensate this or maybe fly me to Penang to enjoy Penang food that I really missed.

Urges

Suddenly I have this urges to get myself pampered. I want to get my nails done after seeing those beautiful nail polish at nailsinc. I want to get my hair washed at the hair saloon too and enjoy the nice head, shoulder and back massage. I want to go for facial too because I look so haggard in this pregnancy; wanna look good for my coming baby. As though lar baby can see my face clearly during his first month. hehe. Just creating excuses to get myself pampered. :P How I wish I can afford an aromatherapy spa. Enjoy now; suffer in a few weeks time. ;)

Since I will be without internet connection at home from tomorrow morning onwards for at least 2 weeks, I think I’ll just head out to the hair saloon first since the charges are within my means. I went to terminate my Streamyx just now because hubby wanted to transfer the idle Streamyx line from his apartment to our home; can’t afford to spend the extras.

So, if you don’t see me on Gmail chat or MSN starting tomorrow, it does not mean that I have pop. When I do pop, I will get hubby to update this blog from his internet café. Till then see you when I see you. :D

Hair Stylist

I always wanted to learn about hair styling. But then during my time hair stylist jobs are only for those who can’t pursue into higher education. Since my STPM result entitle me a place in the local university, and I got government loan to study there whereby my dad does not have to support me much except for my food expenses, I went for it. If I wanted to study about hair styling, all expenses will be from my dad’s pocket money because our local universities do not offer this kinda course! Oh well, I can still learn now if I make good friend with the hairstylist besides hubby’s shop. :lol:

I am Jewelry-less

You know what I missed the most after having kids? Besides wearing body hugging clothing, I missed wearing designer costume jewelry. It is so not convenient to wear any rings, earrings or even bracelet. It is either I hurt them with it or they pull it away from me!

So, ever since I got my first child, all my jewelry are kept away from my body; I don’t even wear my wedding ring. Oh ya, about the wedding ring; my fingers grew fatter during pregnancy and it doesn’t shrink after I gave birth and I can’t fit into it anymore. :(

I hope soon, I will be able to adorn myself with jewelry again. :D
