On My Convocation

immediately, a day after our Quilling Get-Together, is my Convocation ceremony. i arrive home almost midnight and what comes to my mind is only, i have to make some quilling things for friends. since i started quilling, they are the the most important people that keep me strong and help me in many ways. they also always ask for simple quilling items, but i always refuse to do it. lazy me. heheh :P most importantly, they keep reminding me of my dream, which is having my own papercraft shop so that i will never gave up whenever life gets harder. really, even at this stage, the journey is still looooong way to go! huhu

so here they are; when everybody have fall asleep, i sacrifice my eyes and hands to make a simple bookmark of white-orange scroll. usually it's red right? but since our faculty is determined by orange colour of hood, so i decided to make it the same theme.

can you see my orange hood there! :D

if you notice, lately my bookmark has some modification in ribbon's hole. i try using eyelet, and it turns out really smart, ain't they? ;)

i sleep at 4:00am in the morning. and wake up at 6:00am. so sleepy. thank God i didn't fall at stage! :P

footnote: if you wish to see more pictures on my convocation, here's the link ;)

Review: Quilling Get-Together v1.0

hahah! i know, i know. i' m late. honestly, i'm quite busy with the research works and i just got the picture from my friend yesterday ;) now, where to start? oh, i almost forgot how happy and excited we are at quilling get-together, but i try to make this review as best as i can.

first time meeting all of quillers and newbies are strange. yet my heart felt totally excited! ;) i still can't believe what i dreamed for is now happening, right at this moment :D i am inspired by their enthusiasm, and see what i've made? i love those! ^^

All my 3 cards: funny how i can be so creative in mixing colours :P hahah

looping technique is new for me but i've try it a week before this get-together. the different is, mixing suitable colours is so not me. i always have trouble with mixing colours. but at that time, together with them, i am inspired and feel like being moved by them ;) *oh, please ignore my english. i always have trouble finding suitable vocab ;P*

everybody seem so busy! :D

the desks are full with creative items and colours. the laughter, exchanging tips, and the new ideas have surrounded us. like new aura. whoa~ am i exaggerate it too much? :P but honestly, that's what i feel ;) you know, i can't stop myself to keep standing and walking to see what others are doing, hoping i can steal some of their ideas! heheh :P *wink!*

tada! ♥ these are all that we've done on that day ^^

we quill for almost 5 hours. non-stop. not feeling hungry or thirsty! just quill and quill until the end. at my side, we are a bit shy i guess :P we don't talk much. but at the other side, we have happening people who talk, and laugh all the time ^__^ err.. perhaps, the next time we meet, shy people {including me who always speechless when meeting new people} can talk a bit more too ;) hihi.

i really miss them all, and wish we can meet again.. before next year? ;')

p.s i: more pictures, can be found here. oh, and here and here ;)
p.s ii: the best review can be found here and here ^^

Pink Ribbon {Breast Cancer Awareness Month}

breast cancer is one of the most killer disease to women; and to some men also. and therefore, since 1985, if i'm not mistaken, October has become an official month for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month {NBCAM} ─anybody notice it? this yearly event is aim to increase the awareness of this disease, so that people will take action to prevent and lower down the risk of getting it. plus, to raise the fund too. honestly, i just knew this since last year, and i almost forgot it this year! *how forgetful i am :-S* anyhow, it still not too late to wear pink ribbon right? ;)

i've made one pink ribbon by using quilling strip.
oh, please don't mind the background. that's part of my workload ;)

therefore, my condolence to those who have lost their love one because of this {me have lost one too :'(} and for those who still fight in this battle, i hope you stay strong and become stronger each day. those who still didn't take early detection, i hope you do so as fast as you can. and please please please, take a good care of your breast, women! oh, men also.

you can read more about breast cancer here. this official website shares everything about breast cancer including symptoms and diagnosis, treatment and the side effect, daily matters and how to low the risk of getting it. they also have chat room and discussion board :)

till i write again, have a healthy life, and may you have a great weekend! love, As.
