Free time...

So, what do I do during my free time these days? Back to felt crafts! Yay! Haha! It's been a long time since I've left out my hobby involving felt fabric. :) Below are just a few of my latest projects from the past couple of weeks. Hehehe...

A couple of simple tissue holders that have been hand-stitched quite badly. Hehehe... Oh, the tissue holder opens up as shown in the photo below...


Simple to make, yet very convenient and fits cozily in my handbag. ;)


My little felt flowers. Still in the midst of deciding, whether to make them into brooches or hairclips. :)


Note: Sorry for the low photo quality. Just snapped 'em using my mobile phone camera. ;)

21 weeks & counting

I am at my 21st week of pregnancy. Wow! Halfway through now. Hehehe...

My baby's growing well, along with my tummy. Haha! It's wonderful to now feel the little movements inside my womb. The movements are more like little flutters, soft but can still be felt. :)

I'm also feeling much better compared to my rather tumultuous 1st trimester. Hehe... My pregnancy-induced asthma has receded, which I am extremely grateful for. My days & nights are more peaceful, compared to when I was having rather bad asthma attacks. I've never had asthma before, so, it was definitely a big shock to me when I had the attacks. Huhu...

Anyways, need to work on my Masters degree research proposal now. Oh, yes. I've enrolled for a Masters degree program, Master of Engineering (Mechanical - Materials) a few weeks ago. Well, actually, on my birthday (29 April 2011). Hehehehe... Need to submit a 5 page research proposal next Monday, so I'd better get a move on it. Wish me luck in completing a good one, ya! :)

Note: Lacking photos/images in my last few posts, ya... will need to brighten up my posts more! Hehehe... :p

Happy Labor Day! :)

Have a good weekend everyone! Enjoy the long weekend, ya! :D

28!

It's my 28th birthday today. Yay! The day's been wonderful. Many heartful thanks to family and friends for the lovely birthday wishes. I really appreciate them. :D

Hubby dearest, thank you so much for the wonderful dinner treat! :)

My month! :-)

April's already coming to an end and I've only posted 1 entry?? Whoa... time simply flew by this month.

Today is April 28th. Tomorrow (April 29th), Prince William & Miss Kate Middleton are getting married. Hurrah! Yet, most importantly (to me) is that I'll be 28 years old. Yay! Hehehehe... Some people may not welcome the coming of their birthdays or are readily open about their true age, but I'm fine with it. With every passing year, I learn new things, experience new things, may they be good or bad, happy or sad. It's all part of life's cycle. :-)

Anyways, this year my birthday is extra special. It'll be the first time I'll be celebrating it as a wife...and... as a soon-to-be mummy! Yay again! Hahahaha... Yup! I am officially pregnant and starting to show too. Hehehe. If according to my EDD (expected due date), I'm just about 18 weeks pregnant on my birthday. :)

14 weeks now...

... and another 26 more to go! :) What to? To the addition of another member of my family. Hehehehe... :D ps: Sorry. Very short post after over a month. Soon, the reasons will be revealed. ;)

Tree Top Walk @ Sungai Sedim, Kedah

In November 2010, my husband and I managed to take a short trip to one of Kedah's many attractions, the Tree Top Walk at Sungai Sedim area. :)

It was actually a shortly planned trip. We were at my parents' home in Lunas for the weekend, to attend my best friend, Afifah's wedding. On Sunday before returning back home, we thought, why not go somewhere first? Due to various reasons, we were unable to go off for our honeymoon after our wedding (we just got married a couple of weeks before...hehehe). The Tree Top Walk sounded exciting. So, off we went to Sungai Sedim, which was about 45 mins drive away from my parents' place. :)

We're here! :)

Views from the bridge...so pretty! (erm, excuse the feet...just wanted to take a pic of the wire mesh and the view straight down...hehehe)

All in all, it took us almost an hour to complete the less than 1000m walk (I can't remember the exact bridge length. Huhu). It felt refreshing being up there, among the trees, the soft breeze, crisp air...pure nature. Oh, it actually drizzled a little, but that just added soft mist to the area. Wonderful!

When we got down from the bridge @ Tree Top Walk, we went to enjoy the view and immerse our feet in the cool river at the bottom of the walk. It's just so pretty and serene there. Can't wait for another chance to visit the river again and have a proper picnic. :)

Mini-honeymoon... continued...

Singapore nearing Christmas was really pretty. There were festive decorations everywhere. Erm, since we didn't have anyone else to snap a photo of the two of us together, at least our feet were proof we were there... Hehehehehe... ;)

On that Friday evening, my husband and I decided we wanted to go to Sentosa Island, just for a night stroll. We wanted to get tickets to Universal Studios for Saturday, but tickets were completely sold out. Well, it was during the school holidays and Singapore was practically jam-packed with people. So, off we went to Sentosa Island.

Since it was night time, many of the attractions were already closed...but, we did manage to get our hands on a pair of tickets to the "Songs of The Sea" show. Yay!! :)

The show only lasted less than a 1/2 hour, but it was enjoyable. We were quite immersed with the whole show that we didn't really get many good photos. Hehehe... Sentosa Island is very pretty at night... the lights, the decorations, etc, etc, etc. :)

The huge Christmas tree at Vivo City. So pretty! (I seem to like using the word "pretty" this time, ya? Hehehe).

Friday was soon over and it was Saturday morning. Since we didn't get tickets to Universal Studios, we planned to just go around Singapore until it was time for us to catch our bus back to Malaysia later that night. Singapore Flyer was our first choice to start the day. :)

After getting off the Flyer, we headed towards the Olympic Youth Park, Esplanade, Merlion... all on foot. Whoa...did we really walk that day. That wasn't the end of it. We just walked and walked here and there. From Marina Bay / Esplanade to Bugis Street, to Arab Street, to Kampong Glam (where we performed our prayers at the mosque) and finally we walked towards Lavender Street, to wait for our bus. Fuh! How our bodies ached the next day. Hehehe...

Just a little row of shops on our walk towards Arab Street. Isn't the view just adorable? :)

So, I guess, that sums up my mini-honeymoon in Singapore. Yay! I finally finished on this. Hahahaha... I hope to go to Singapore again in the future, specifically to Universal Studios and Sentosa Island, as a whole...and for a real holiday with my loved one(s). :D

End of January

January is already coming to an end, and I didn't really post anything throughout the month! Yikes! I have so much that I want to blog about, but always end up not blogging. Boohoohoo... :p
I'm gonna work on my next post (most probably the continuation of my mini honeymoon story...hehehe) and hopefully will post it up before February ends, ya! ;)

2011

Ps: very, very, very short post... I know. Hahaha! :p
