The moment I am free....

Oh my. I cannot express how excited I am for my exams to be finally over. There is one more paper to go before everything ends. I have already decided that since I am gonna get a sewing machine anyway, I shall start shopping for what I plan to do with the sewing machine.

First, I have to get my dad to drive me to the sewing machine company that takes in 2nd hand sewing machines and sell new ones. The one at home is spoiled anyway:'( I plan to get either Singer or Janome, but I am not too sure yet!

I am sooo gonna go on a shopping spree on Thursday to Spotlight. The only thing is,  I think I will go alone instead of asking someone because I am very indecisive and the poor person accompanying me will be so annoyed. Haha. I say this from experience. My friend got a little annoyed while waiting for me to decide on which colour to choose(I bought yarn.)

Spotlight is having a Bargain Sale till 4th December so I have to hurry! This is because the sewing patterns for Mccall's will be sold at half price! I have already shortlisted the ones I gonna get. Hehe.

First up,

http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6349-products-14404.php?page_id=108

Mccall M6349. Ya, I even wrote it down so I would not forget. I love the dress pattern on the right. It just looks so classic and I love the fabric used in the picture. Lovelovelove. Furthermore, the website says it is easy to  make. I do not think I will take this as my first project though. Too risky, if I go wrong, I will waste good fabric and money.

Then we have,

http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m5094-products-5064.php?page_id=108&search_control=display&list=search

Mccall's M5094. To be frank I do not like this as much as the previous one but depending on the price, I think I might just get it anyway because I think the pink one is kinda cute. I will definitely not make this my first project.

These are the two Mccall patterns that I gonna get. Then what will be my first project? 

THIS! :D

Kwik 3552. Okay, go ahead. Laugh. You know you want to. After showing you pictures of pretty dresses, I have decided to make my first project a pajamas. Haha. What a joke. Nope. It is not a joke. This looks fool proof right? So it makes sense to get this:) I can make this for everyone! Haha. I love wearing pajamas that are in the form of dresses to sleep. It is more comfy and I feel so restricted wearing pants to sleep anyway. So I have decided to buy a pretty comfy fabric and make myself pajamas! Cool? I know. 

Another pattern:

Kwik-sew 3667. I like the one on the right. It look so comfy and easy to make. I am gonna make this for my mom. I hope she will like it! Haha.

Maybe I am being to ambitious for someone who does not even own a working sewing machine yet, but I am really excited. I am deciding on a budget now. I need to get the patterns, tools, fabric. Should I go to Chinatown to scout around for better fabrics offers first? But I end school at 430 thereabouts. Hmmm. Maybe I should go to Chinatown first then. Because I wanna get something else there. 

BUDGETBUDGETBUDGETDARN. No money!!!! I think everything will cost a bomb. How???? I will have to start my shop soon to earn some money. I have yarn and hook to crochet stuff to sell. Hope you will support me then so that I will have money to buy more craft materials to try out more things!

That's all for today. I hope my shop online will take off like an airplane when I finally reveal it.

To dye or not to dye?

Well, with A levels coming to an end soon, there was this one teeny thing which has been bugging me. The title is the most appropriate topic sentence. Haha. Should I dye my hair!!! Whoa. It is a life changing decision! HOW!!!! I just had a big hair makeover by the way. I will probably change my profile picture after my trip to Shanghai where I will aim to take more pictures of myself and my hew hairdo.

I told myself I need a major makeover after school officially ended, and this is my first step. Next, is to decide if I should dye my hair and there are many steps to go like revamping my wardrobe and changing the kinds of clothes I wear. I wanna change so much that people will wow at the sight of me. HAHA. I am mega ambitious. Okay, I am running off topic. Lets go back to the topic of hair. I have straight naturally very dark brown hair. I do not know if it is actually black but ya.

I think everyone knew I was obsessed with ombre hair at one period of time after reading Violet's blog. I love her hair. But I also know that it is impossible for me to have hair like that because I do plan to work in am office environment and I highly doubt anyone would want to  employ me if I dye my hair to the extreme. Oh well. I was hoping that I can gradient dye my hair to became light brown without actually harming the roots of my hair. If you need an illustration,  it is something like this:

Isn't it gorgeous? I lovelovelove and wantwantwant! The girl in the picture is very pretty too! I did my best to find one with an Asian because I am an Asian, and failed. Obviously not many Asians are that adventurous.

There are others which I really lovelovelove too. The trend now is dipped dyed hair though. It looks amazing too. But I feel that both of them are generally the same concept and they both will not harm your scalp so it is a to go for me! Look at these!

This has got to be one of the best ever. Look at the colour. Oh. Lovelovelove.

This is so pretty too!

So? Do you think I should dye my hair? Will I suit the hair colour? Grrr. Such a difficult decision. Maybe I will not dye my hair or D.I.Y my hair or use temporary hair colour??? AHHH. Hate making decisions.

So should I or should I not?

Aftermath of reactivating Facebook

As you may have realized from the previous post, I was seriously considering keeping my Facebook account deactivated. How do I explain the reason? Well...you can say that I want to keep myself away from reality and not face the fact that others have moved on and continued with their lives whereas I have only reached the spot that they have reached last year or I am just not that interested in other people lives anymore. I do not know.

But oh well, I reactivated it in the end. Much have changed. I think it had been 6 months or so since I have stepped into Facebook and I can hardly recognize the interface. If I may say so, I felt like an intruder. Obviously I did not feel as if I belonged there anymore. Well, maybe I never did.

I looked through the profiles of some of my friends and frankly, I did not enjoy the experience. It was a painful reminder of what I had sacrificed. Many of them made new friends and had wonderful experiences. What did I have? I was still the same old me. I have not changed much. Maybe I became more selfish. That is a lie. I know I have became much more selfish than I ever was.

Life have made me this way. Sometimes, I give it my all and get nothing back. I get so frustrated and annoyed. I learn my lesson. Research and think about what do I expect in return and make my expectations clear before committing. I do not really like this side of me, but I understand that it is how we grow up.

Anyway, as I was saying, I really do not feel like I belong in Facebook anymore. Maybe I should just deactivate it for good. Maybe I will belong again. I do not know. What I know is, right now, at this point of time, I just wanna pretend that nothing has changed and everyone is just as I know them.

Fat hope.

That's all. Sorry for the boring/emo/Idonotknowwhatareyoutalkingabout post. I am just reflecting on my life. Haha.

I can see the light...

Well, as the title states, I can finally see the end of the tunnel. It has been a grueling three weeks so far and now I am only left with one week! How time flies. I have been thinking and thinking and thinking about what I want to do after my exams and the time of my life is finally near! I am eagerly counting down!

I will be going to a job agency tomorrow to choose a job I am gonna take up during this massive holiday. I hope that I would not need to pay much/any agency fees. I just wanna earn some money to buy my sewing machine and what nots. I am also planning for the design of my upcoming blogshop where
I will sell the stuff that I made, so if you are reading this, spread the word :D. I have been thinking of the shop name. I do not know. Oh well, I am starting this shop mainly to give an excuse for me to do more crafts. Haha. This is because as much as I love doing them, I have to consider for my pocket. Yarn is not cheap, you know. I just hope to cover my costs and have enough for the next project. I have been considering whether to try out resin making. It seem so cool, like...no one in school ever heard of it. As you may or may not know, I sort of like being special in my own way. Oh well, most people do not appreciate that anyway. I mean, if you do not understand what am I talking about half the time, you are not in the same frequency as me. I jump topics faster than a rabbit can hop. Look, I did it again! I cannot help it. Hmmm. What else can I write about today?

Nope, I am not going to write about any of my exam papers because....I absolutely refuse to relive that moment of my life again, NO WAY! Haha. Maybe that was a little extreme, but it is the truth. I hope to just get it over and done with. I have done my best, and I will just let god do the rest. I have been doodling some where, everywhere. Just to show you some, (do not judge, not good for health!)

You know, I tried to draw this Disney style, and I thought it was good, but I got no compliments. So maybe it is not that good:(

This was just some random girl sitting in front when I was studying. I was bored, so I drew her and modified the school uniform at the same time=_=

Oh man, I thought this was good too! I mean, who can beat Little mermaid? Haha, this one had a few comments, so I am proud of it!

My attempt at drawing my hand during one of the Chemistry lectures. It was like...FINALLY, my hand looks decent. Model: my hand. Haha.

This last picture was just to show you how studious I was. My binding for the lecture notes came off okay! this has never happened to me before! Shows how studious I was huh?

You might ask me, why post those amateur pictures? They are not even that good. Well, it was not for you. It is for me to look back 10 months from now and marvel at how much I improved. HAHA!

Okay, that's all folks. I am gonna doodle on my tablet for the first time in a long time.

Rebecca:)

P.S. I am seriously thinking about whether to reactivate my facebook now. I have gone without it for so long....

A Levels are here!

http://chmullig.com/2011/06/keep-calm-and-study-on/

Well...my A levels starts next week and I am feeling all the stress and emotions during this period of time. I am afraid that I have not prepared enough. But at the same time, I cannot wait for all of this to be over. 29 more days to freedom actually.

You will be seeing me more often after that. But till then, please pray for me as this will determine the next stage of my life. 

I will be seeing you soon,

Rebecca:s
