New bedroom layout

Yes, so I've finally and painstakingly painted my room.

Fuck me, there were so much rubbish that I never knew that I had/needed/horded/hidden everywhere in my room. Moving it out was a mega bitch and I've never been more tired than this.

Painting wasn't that bad actually except painting the corners which I had to use a ladder to go up up up, or I had to bend down down down. Niaseng cibai, my bones now bendy, made of liquorice.

Anyway, I chose apple cut green, nabeh, my walls were yellow, so green and yellow = wad? BLUE LORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. NBCCB. so now my walls are light blue, which I am pleasantly surprised, cos it looks like pastel turqouise!!!!!!!!!!!!! My part efforts are not wasted afterall. It's quite fun painting lah.

I got carried away - I started painting my door frames,because they all kena paint, and I'm damn lazy to wipe them away!

So a 5litre can of paint couldnt be finished, I should have finished my other grills, but I really can't be arsed. I was damn tired.

I rearranged the couch and the table to get a new 'fengshui'. Of course, no one qualified has been to my room to tell me that my bed and toilet was facing the wrong way, or that my wall colours were of badluck, but i don't fucking care! as long as I'm happy waking up to my room, it's always good fengshui!

My dressing table remains as this, but is now converted to my laptop table :







I moved my couch to where my old table was, so it made a little cozy nook in the room where I can lie down or sit comfortably and go online and watch shows. The subwoofer is placed in the little corner so the sound system is amazing - I use logitech thanks to ah soon, but many may beg to differ that altec lansing is the best! But i don't give a shit ok! I bought it online for nabeh 25poounds and I'm gonna make sure i fully use it!

You can see in the pic, below the giraffe prints, theres a blanket. Thats cos i'm sitting under the aircon and I can use the blanket to snuggle when im chilly! How amazing is that! And if you're wonderng bout the painting I'm painting animal prints to put on my wall. So far I have cow, tiger, zebra, cheetah and giraffe. im tired of painting alrady ok!

I also got the floating wall brackets put in.



Felt abit sad that holes were being drilled into my old walls, but I need more space for more useless stuff ok!!!!!!




Good thing the brackets were placed high enough that I wouldnt bump my head when I wake up. Other people I'm not so sure. This is specifically designed for short people like me! KEKEKEKEKEEKEK




See, I put the table on the other wall, so I have loads of walking space. An another floating wall bracket for my other shits! Man I have too many stuffs for my own good!

Plus yesterday I bought goose feather down pillow and 280 thread count cotton JeanPerry pillow cases because I'm a grown up alreadY! (Actually my current pillows are of the same level as the bed).

Ok lor, tired already lah, no more new stuff for the whole year! I'm all set!

XXXXXXXXX

ps: sorry my bed damn messy lah. Cannot be arsed making it for the photos, because I'm not pretentious like that! :P

pps: poor ah beng. sayang you k. you have been overworked. XXXXX mucho thankies! x

Room Painting

Painting is extremely tiring.

Especially if you have big walls, little nooks and many many corners. DAMNIT!

It's even worse if you get speckles of paint on your hair, hands, floor, door frames and anything else.

Now I look like someone off Avatar. My body is glowing with specks of light green paint. Damnit.

And I have to repaint my door frames cos i accidently had paint over them!
OH WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Good exercise. I think my neck is breaking soon from craning my neck far from the wall. >_<.

Deserve good food and relaxation after this.



THen I have to crack my head on moving my billion things back into the room

Fuck.

DIY wallpaper

ok... so I'm bored of my life.....and also my walls.. I have decided on a DIY room make over with wrapping papers and adhesive spray! I know it's probably gonna be a flop, but who'll ever know if you never try!

I bought 4 wrapping papers cos it's less than a dollar each so people can have a look and help me decide which one is the best one pls kthxbai. if it all doesnt work out they'll become gift wraps!

was thinking of having one feature wall. What do you think?




No.1

this is a dulled vibrant flower wrapping paper with rain-glass -stained effect going on. Tot it was quite pretty!




No. 2

This is a bold hibiscus pattern. very bright and cheerful!




No.3

the camera phone does not do this any justice. the colours are much nicer and more pastel. perhaps this can go on all my walls. I dono.





No.4

stupid camera. totally ruining the colour effect of this one. It is actually very pretty yellow!



SO HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE

This isn't happening

*bangs head on the wall*

*again*

Bought 6 colours of cotton material today to try and make my own shift dress in block colours.

Grey
American blue
Dark Green
Yellow
Orange
Shocking Pink

Started off with the Grey one, didn't turn out that well.

Should have just cut a hole for the head,
fit it through my body,
and pin the sides?

Yes, I should have done that.
But no, I had to listen to mum and do this and that.
Now I have been branded as having a poor workmanship!

And it's my first time on the damn 34 year old sewing machine!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Nevermind.

I will have my minion (CT) to help me pin myself tomorrow.

It has to work this time.
I'm not letting my RM10.00 per material go to waste.

If anyone has any advise (other than sending it to the tailor or just buying a damn dress),
please tell me.

I am crying out for help.

I should think that a shift dress does not go out of fashion, right?

Damnit some one please help me!

Stars in the making.

Christmas Stars!

Well tonight was eventful.

Me and CT spent the whole night decorating our polystyrene stars
(all cut by yours truly)
We painted them to get an over all strong colour,
and then we added glitter and glue all over!


Look at all our stars, glitter glue and work newspaper!

These are our family stars, one for each person who belongs in this family.
Alex, June, Patrick, Marilyn, Keith, Joanna, CT.


My love :)


All that glitters is not gold, but WHO CARES?
They are still oh-so-pretty :)


The fruit of our labour.

DIY using polystyrene stars really saves a whole load for your pocket.
It keeps you entertained for a whole weekend and unleashes the creative side of you!
I have always been interested in arts and craft and I have always believed that handmade things, no matter how uncommercialised or how ugly it looks, it still holds out as an unique piece of art from one's heart.

Go ahead, get cracking on your christmas tree my dear minions.
Vikram has whispered to me that Christmas will be amazing and colourful this year with your own handmade star ornamnents!

Tried making snowmen and candy canes, but really cant be arsed because curves are just too hard to cut with the damn penknife! :)
