Lunar New Year

A Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Today is the fourth day of the celebration. Most will be going back to work and the children will be going to school. No more sleeping late and watching tv.

On the first day of the lunar New year, we went visiting to our relatives house. The children each carry two oranges to greet the elderly.

 Taking photo is probably one of the activties that I enjoyed most. Loving the smile, make this festive much more joyous and fun.

 Normally we wrapped up our first day by visiting aunty Mabel's house. She will cook a feast and invited everyone to enjoy those yummy food. Everyone are so eager to ' lo hei' .

The children favourite is visiting our aunt's house for her pool of fishes. They enjoyed going to the backyard to glaze at the fish and a chance to feed if uncle allows them. This time the youngest member in the family Kyle decided to feed the fish by hand instead of throwing it. He was worried the fish will bite him however after much persuasion by his dad, he did it and love it.

It is a great year indeed, lots of rain, laughter , catching up, good food and fun. I better put all these in my project life and also a mini album to treasure all these memories.

The Flowing japanese noodle-SOUMEN

 

Last year i chanced upon this 'Nagashi soumen' toy in Changi Shopping mall. It was selling at SGD20. It's really a good deal as this is normally selling at USD 84.

 

My mother thinks it is a hassle to put this whole things up and also the cleaning is troblesome. I volunteer to help out and let the fun begin.

 

There are only two ingredient in making this fun session. The cold noodle and the sauce. Both can be puchased at the supermarket. The Japanese will have eggs or cucumber to go with. My nieces just like it plain and dip with the sauce. By the way, it is also healthy too.

 

Once it is set up, They took turn to pick up the soumen, dip the sauce and eat it. This carry on for an hour and they finished up all the soumen that we made and feeling very satisfield.

Hello there!

I am waiting for my Dec and Jan Studio Calico kit.
I am waiting for my Kelly Purkey signature book since Nov 2012.
I am waiting for my voucher that I redeemed last week.

Where are you? I miss you so much.

slow and steady

My first attempt for 2013 is the Project Life. In fact last year 2012, I ordered a set from Scraplicious and wanted to try out after reading the blogs of  Lisa Truesdell ,Kelly Purkey, Lena and Ali Edward. It is so inspiring and pretty always. However no action taken and Project life kit is still in my cupboard.

This year 2013, I decided to keep my Project life in a small basket like this. I took out my favourite kelly and Studio calico's stamp, roller stamps, SC printables and journal cards and core kit- (Cobalt). With all these materials, i started my week one project life.

I printed my picture just like Lena's tutorial. Mainly photos are from my handphone or instagram.

I don't really have a style of my own so something simple and easy for me. I just don't want to get to stress and panic over Project Life. It is just like my diary but this time there will be pictures and lots of papers that all. I started with the standard opening title 'week 1' and a 'Hi'

 I used SC printables  which I am loving it so much to use as a insert and place my favourite photo. In addition, I tried to doodle around to make it something cute and special.

I also try to use my instant mini which there will be many more to come on my PL.
Also some of my small leftover paper and alpha to detash.

 Can you spot the MT tape? I am also trying to put in masking tapes on my PL.

Printables and more printables. This is really helpful and fun to put in my clear folder.

And everything is completed, this is my 1st page of Week 1 project life. Hooray I did it. and I have 51 weeks more to go. Let's see how displicine I am.
