Haven't been blogging cuz every free time has been spent making cards. Christmas cards, that would only be received after Christmas :\ Hope those who get it won't mind, after all, I've spent a good four days making a total of 10 cards.
It's more personal, so I decided not to take pictures of the cards for the blogshop, or this blog too. I did though, just for a sense of teeny accomplishment, take a picture of the finish. But They're all enveloped up. Just wanted to note that man, it really used a huge lotta effort and patience, and lots of materials. Glad to get em done, but wished I could've gotten them done by christmas..
Only 6 here. I made 4 earlier for the cruch till christmas, and I made a different design for each one so none would be the same.. A bit more
personal I guess?
On another note, here of course, is new blogskin. Credits to Joseph for the design, and Yi Chen for the coding. Owe them lotsa gratitude, thanks for it all! Still some work in progress here and there, but I'll do it progressively. A bit plain, but more unique and has identity I guess.
Had a short two day stint at Hong Xiang's mom's workplace earlier this week. It was really rewarding. First job experience, and the staff there were very friendly. Most of them were Japanese, it was Nihon Keizai Shimbun Singapore, part of the Nikkei business news corporation. Kinda interesting, and constantly reminded me of the Japan trip.. His mom gave me a lift to the barbeque with the Japan trip people after work on the first day too. Really nice (:
It was pretty okay, cooked and chatted and such, and Chicky brought Jim Beam. Before we put out the fire though, there was remaining Jim Beam. So I had a silly idea of throwing it into the fire. It was really brilliant :D We threw in butter oil too, disgustingly melted. A bunch of other stuff went in, extremely fun, reminding me about what Niki used to like to do to leftover food, haha!
In the end we set it out and chatted for a while, before heading home. Next day had work again so couldn't be up too late. Plus, Brandon, Shermaine, Cheryl, Hong Xiang and I met up after work for a christmas dinner thingy plus exchanging. I never exchanged gifts with friends before, cards at the most, so this was kinda new. Plus I wasn't prepared with gifts, only knowing at the last minute ><
Lately I feel kinda detached, haven't talked as normal to someone for a long time, and it seems like it's been hard trying to, too. It hogs my mind every night I go to sleep, and I haven't got a clue if any thought's mutual..
Not one bit of homework done so far.
