when i wished summer would stay...

ok...i'm in denial that it's still SUMMER although it's technically AUTUMN now.

now it is as though my wish came true...as melbourne will be experiencing a maximum of 30 degrees tomorrow!

more days for summer wardrobe!

softies for friends

just realised i haven't been sharing photos from my softie collection with y'all. all of them were made before i went back to malaysia for holidays in december. but i'm sure some of you would have seen them in my FB random photo uploads. anyhoo...here goes!

this softie was given to min and she named it monty because it's a monster. she requested for one which is emo and angry and super obese. haha...i couldn't make angry softies but she was really happy with the outcome! glad she liked her christmas gift which i did on the day where everyone was gathered at my house for drinks.

this softie is mr donut. gave it to my friend xn as she requested a donut. i know people are beginning to request for softies to be made and i so nice to layan right. one of the harder one to make because i had to figure out how to make a round donut and turn it over. had a failed attempt with a skinny and scarred donut still here in my room. the design was inspired by wringley's chewing gum ad where there was a cutie donut. do y'all remember the ad?

this one is a brooch softie. made it for jem. customized size to pin on shirt. it kinda have a smirk on the face but i still love it nonetheless.

i know i know...you must be thinking what about me!? hah...u sure you're into this kinda thing? i will...make one for you...and you...and you when i find the time to kay? now everyone is asking me when i'm gonna make one for them and i just tell them softie production is at a halt at the moment. i just don't think i should be making them seeing that i'm so close to my phd confirmation...two months or so. but we'll see...there may be exceptions seeing i don't do work on weekends anyways. enjoy!

this is super uber random but i was suddenly reminiscing the time when you taught me the proper way to punctuate my sentences. i've always just used it randomly...how many dots i wanna put...whenever i feel like it. but since that day...i've always put just three...no more...no less.

absence

i had disappeared from the surface of the cyberworld due to unforeseen circumstances. initially was trying to get back on track with work and all of a sudden...my lappie crashed. it was a tragic incident...i did not managed to revive it despite all my efforts. almost tried to get it fixed at my own expense but ended up complaining to supervisor and he managed to get the IT guys to do something about it. so my lappie was left at the hand of the supposedly expert in the field for a total of 3 weeks. don't ask me why it took so long...for all i know it was just sitting there. i'll just give them the benefit of the doubt. now that i got it back...FINALLY...i'm still checking if there's anything wrong from the recovery. it wasn't reformat as it was recovered. data seemingly still intact. being very wary of warning messages. the most alarming of all was "the battery is reaching the end of its usable life". i've only got my lappie for less than 2 years and i don't use the battery unless i have to and upon returning from quarantine it's dying on me!? i've tried to fully discharge and recharge but the same message still pops up. i wonder if it's gonna affect anything if i don't do anything about it. what do you think?

anyways. hopefully i'm back in action. =D
