Cost: $12.90

DIY method:
Ahhh, this one, it might be easier to buy it instead of making it because it require quite a lot of items. But the satisfaction of making your your jewellery is ever so exciting. So here goes, attach jump rings to feather charms, bead and charms altnerate on a beading wire or thread, crimp with the end thingie, attach jump ring, attach chain and clasp. When attaching the beads to wire, use two strands of wire so you can have the second tier. 

DIY method:
Five elastics of different colour and similar length, thread in the golden beads and charms, close the ends with the crimps, attach the five strand together by attaching crimps in random places to add to the design and make it into a single bracelet. Clever idea. I really like this.

Things are looking up:)

Well, I am really happy to say that Rebecca is not as lonely anymoreee! Yippee! However, she is suffering from a horrible backlog of readings and catching up with school work so I decided to make a little picture post to you know, cover the really sad post about me being lonely. Not a lot have been going on lately though. I spent absolutely too much time on public transport, it is crazyyy. Palau NTU is awfully far away! Boo-hoo!

So, let the pictures begin!


For those who are not aware, I am going to share a space with my friend at a FLEA! So exciting! I have been thinking hard about what I wanna sell:) I will be showing you pictures of the things I made to sell! Hehe.  The bracelets above, I really like the one on the furthest right! Almost tempted to keep it for myself!!!I am still looking for places that sells nice beads. Especially big wooden bead so that I can crochet on them.


Dust plugs! These thingies are in trend right now, but I do not really like using them because I use my phone for music and I plug my earphones in and out all the time. But if you do not, these are really pretty phone candy! I personally like the cake ones! So cute!


Pizza at Pitchstop with my coursemates at NTU at the innovation centre because Canteen B was just too crowded! 12" pizza sells for $18, no GST, no service charge. GOOD? Yes. This is roasted turkey beast. Nomnom. 


I missed this! Ice-cream from my grandpa! YUP! My grandpa sells ice-cream! Nomnom. But he is growing old, I am really worried for him. :( I hope he can still sell ice-cream for a few more years even though he is 72 years old because this was what enabled my grandparents to bring up all 6 of my aunties and uncles. My grandparents probably had very good money management. 


YESSS! I finally bought my Sailormoon because Kinokuniya was having their 20% sale that day!

Original price: $143
Price paid: $115 

Prices here rounded off to the nearest integer. Hehe. 

Although I know I could probably get it cheaper off Amazon, but I do not know why, this feels more satisfying! :p I will definitely buy off Amazon for my next one though. 


Finally passed my Final Theory Test! YAY! I cannot wait to go for my practical test!

Okay, so that's all for today. I need to go mack to my readings now. I promise I will update you on what I am making for the flea! It is on the 23rd September at *scape :p If Atrina reads this, thank you so much for accommodating me!

Rebecca :)

P.S. I have a presentation tomorrow and I have not prepared for it sufficiently yet. OMG >.<  Wish me luck!
