My First Handmade Tote!

I got sick of holding my folder in my hands everyday, so I decided a big tote bag would do me some good.

Professional designers have taken advantage of the Green Trend by selling over-priced totes to replace the plastic bag, and I think that's just silly. RM100+ for a tote? Puh-lease! I could make one so for under RM30.

So I went to Nilai last Sunday and bought a meter of a really cute printed fabric.


I went home, and sewed all night...

... And continued the next morning.

Here's what I ended up with!

The photo doesn't do the printed design any justice, really.

Aida begged to borrow it to take to school, so I let her have it for the week. She came back home that evening and said three of her friends want one too. 8-O

Having people be willing to pay for something I make? Awesomeness to the power of ten.

Dunno when I'll have the time to sit in front of the sewing machine again though... But I promise I'll start soon.

Lots of love,

from Me.

ps: Thanks to Syahirah Suhaimi for telling me where to look for nice fabrics! We had loads of fun at Jelita.

Strawberry Swing is too cute.

Yes, Strawberry Swing finally gets its own video. And it's an awesomely cute one, too.

Cuter than Life in Technicolor ii.

And it's gonna be played in Odeon Cinemas in the UK.

Dang. I always wanted to hear a full Coldplay song in a cinema.

Well anyway here it is.

Click me!

No one's allowed to post the entire vid anywhere else on the net, so here's a short trailer if you need further convincing to be bothered enough to click the link above. ;)



Now I can't decide whether The Scientist is still my favourite Coldplay video!


Lots of love,

I Haven't Been Here in Ages!

I am still very much alive, though. ;)

I managed to write a really negative review of Transformers 2, but I haven't completed it cuz I'm bogged down with work and I still need to sort out a few things regarding my Masters and all...

During the break I had since May, I finally got down to putting music to some lyrics I wrote, and I'm contemplating on whether I should put the songs up on my blog...

I'm not much of a lyricist (I can write some really cheesy lines), and my voice doesn't really suit the kind of music I write, so... Hmm... Maybe I'll get my little sister Aida to sing for me. Not exactly Feist, (:P) but she's got the childlike vocals that would better suit my music... My voice is a bit nasal and boring. Hehe.

So yeah. To post, or not to post?

Lots of love,

from Me.
