Superbly pretty birthday card



I was very excited when found this card while I was randomly browsing at Christians book store next to my Church on Sunday. I’m amazed with the beautification of the handwriting. It’s very very sweet and it looks yummylicious too! It’s a perfect birthday card for my friend. Hers coming up at April :P She loves dessert just as much as I do.



There were couple more at the store. But this one is my favourite! Maybe because I am a tea person. I might keep this one for my self (hehehe…)

Too bad I can’t find who’s the illustrator. Btw, the card was such a bargain, only $1.50 each!!! I will definitely keep an eye on that store.

Happy Friday



It’s been quite a tough week for me, especially towards the end of the week. Things get pretty hectic at work. Busy is good, I’m enjoying it. Except the design process mainly for one project, have been really tiring. I need to redesign the whole book for the second time!!! Even though, the design already met the brief and it wasn’t bad design! It always makes me wonder why am I still working here. My design contributions seem worthless. They should just hire some high school graduate.

The design meeting will be arranged next week. I really can’t predict what’s going to happen. I keep imagining that I would walk out in the middle of the meeting!!! Seriously, I could write my resignation letter out of my head, right now. This wasn’t the first time, I’ve been thinking about it many times. I think about the pros why I should stay too, but it’s not good enough. It simply doesn’t lead into my goal or fulfil my objective as designer.

So one more time, please be still my heart!!! I really wish I could be happier and just enjoy doing what I love which is designing.

Hope all of you will have a nice weekend.

Feeling weary



He has been being inconsiderate lately. It really makes me feel so upset. But most of all, I think I feel disappointed because of how he’s not yet take me in as part of his life. It really ache every times I think of that in my head. It’s getting difficult. I really don’t know how long I could bear this. I start to feel weary. Or am I the one who’s being unreasonable and not patience enough… sigh… maybe I am…

I really care for him. And he still think of me. I really should be glad with this. I guess I just need more patience…

Chocolate Brownies for Valentine’s



I made some brownies during Valentine’s day^^ I’ve never baked before, except from Mrs. Fielding instant package (I don’t think that is counted, right?). It’s really funny, because I really like eating dessert. But unfortunately, I’ve never tried making them. So, I give my self a chance. The results, wasn’t bad at all.
It was so easy!!! Definitely gonna make some more brownies in the near future. I love baking now… I’ve even already planned to make chocolate cookies and cupcakes with my friend next week.



Well, since it was my first experienced baking. I did one stupid mistake. I used half size too small pan to baked. Luckily, it was still turned okay^^ Everyone loves it! (too bad he didn’t have a chance to try it. He’s been busy. I’m a little sad with this. Oh well, more for me, then. ehehehe)

The recipe is coming. I’ve got it from Donna Hays.

Did you make your own hand made chocolate to your love one? What did you give to your special someone this Valentine's?


update: I wish I read this before: DIY sweetheart brownie Valentine from Twig & Thistle.

Friday the 13th



The skies were somber and drizzling. It was really making me so moody and sleeply at work. I felt so gloomy thinking about Valentine’s day. I need to face another date-less time on that special day, sigh. I haven’t been looking forward to it really.

At least, my orange cardigan cheered me up! Everyone kept telling me how nice was the colour^^ It’s surely brightened my day a bit more. And you know what?! it’s pumpkin colour just like Halloween. I wonder if I really picked it by coincidence…

Thinking about Valentine's day



I would fly to the moon if I received this >_< Sighhhh… It would be a dream, a very good dream :) Anyway, I wouldn't expect it anytime soon^^ It's all about how things go between us, for now. Even though, it would be really nice if he does (well, there's nothing wrong to be a little optimistic).

Nonetheless, we just had a little quarrel over the weekend. rrr… not really a quarrel yet. But I was kinda upset with him. He was forgetting to call me back when he said he is going to. And then it turned out, I did, upset him back unintentionaly. So I guess we were even. We paid the price, we didn't end up meeting up this weekend. Sigh…

You could order this pretty handwritten cards from hellohandmadepaperie.etsy.com
and have it personalised with your own love message.

I've already had something in mind for his Valentine's card^^ I am gonna make it with my own handwritting. Hopefully, it'll be good. What are you preparing for your special someone this year? Mind to share it?
