Scrap-card: A Boy over Flowers

How do I get the idea of a freaking boy catching a flower?

I've just finished watching a famous Korean drama, Boys over Flowers...for the 1000th time..haha. It is story describing 4 super-handsome young men who are obsessed by million tons of flowers, which are referring to girls...of course. And with that, I wonder if it were literally to be real flowers, would the guys cling over them? Hahaha...smelling, touching and picking up the flowers. Oh dear me...would that happen? Sooo sweeettt.... We believe that boys do not like flowers as much as girls do....

However, there are boys who adore flowers.... Does it affect their masculinity? Does it decrease their machismo (macho)? Nopp...not at all. This fact will not affect their masculinity, believe me...

For example, my father...(yes, he's a man..not boy..haha)... He loves gardening and adores orchids and sunflowers so much.

I love this pattern...classical English style. So flowery...& pinkish too!

I tied a bow with a pink button...

Memo Card: I'm Back to School This September

This campus break, I've been working as a temporary English Language teacher at my former school, in the middle of a town....Oh, dear me... My former school...here I come! Hahaha....

Time flies very fast...people say. I've finished my study. And I'll be going back to campus this September...to continue my Masters Degree... Aahhh...what a boring life! Hahaha...it will be tiring, for sure. I wish I could stay in this school break forever...haha.

To recall the joyful life I had during my first Degree....I made a scrap-memo card, with a theme "I'm back to School" since I'll be going back to the university campus next two weeks. Days during my first Degree were my glorious past time with friends whereby we had so much laughter and love together. With this memo card, I wish I would get the same joy with some new friends this September and onward.

I'm using my ex-classmates pictures...how I miss them!!! I printed them out in black&white to make it look old yet ancient....

On this memo card, I left a space where I can write anything like memo or note using a pencil. I can erase it anytime I want to change the caption.

TUTORIAL

This is how I made this memo card

I cut a black cardboard to shape like a school bus.

I made the wheels...

Fold it into four

Cut a bit, the edge...

Paste it on the wheel part of the cardboard

Stamp together with a picture...Make another wheel and stamp another picture.

This is a 'book'....very cute. It is sold at any scrapbook stores.

I used my beloved glue-gun to stamp a yellow ribbon on.

I decorated the memo card with some artificial leaves and flowers....

Like I said earlier, I left a space where I can write anything like memo or note using a pencil. I can erase it anytime I want to change the caption.

Done!!!

With this, I joined:

Angry Birds Trend: Ummi 1st Lucky Draw

"Angry Birds" seems to be a new trend amongst youngsters in Malaysia. It grows rapidly as the popularity of Domo-Kun is increasing. I'm neither an iPhone user nor SmartPhone user, so I don't bother much about what Angry Birds really are. However, as a teacher...I realize that it is very important for me to walk in the trend...haha. With that, they (my students) will never call me 'ancient' or out-of-date. So, I ended up searching for Angry Birds on Wikipedia.

"Angry Birds is a puzzle video game developed by Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple's iOS in December 2009. Since that time, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store, which has prompted the company to design versions for other touchscreen-based smartphones, such as those using the Android operating system, among others".

As I was browsing through the google world, I found this lucky draw contest...organized by a blogger friend, Ummi Rosalicious.

Ummi is offering her followers 6 Angry Bird Mini Hand-phone Strap...

Photo Editing Contest: By Ein Razak & Dayah Jelita

It seems like I cannot sleep tonight....just finished cooking for sahur (very early breakfast before fasting).

Nothing to do, here I am. Blogwalking in the middle of this sacred night, here I am. Finding ilmu (knowledge) is considered ibadah....kutip pahala via technology la kot2 Lailatul Qadar..cess, konon la!

And so, I found this contest!! Since I don't have important things to do, I edited a picture just now. Although it's just a simple piece of art, it's enough to kill my time...can't sleep indeed.

Since I love photography....and editing too for spare time, so I should give a kick on this. Thanks organizers...you're helping me to sleep too..hehe

Below is the picture I would be editing...
I'll show you the tutorial soon. The picture was taken last month, at Canseleri UiTM Shah Alam...a very beautiful place, flowery!
