posted on , by donna.

 yay, my ~comme des garcons wallet finally arrived! if you remember, it was on my wardrobe wishlist from awhile back... obviously it's not the plain red one i really wanted but since that one was limited edition and i couldn't find it anywhere, i ended up just purchasing this one i'm a little sad because it's not the soft leather i thought it was going to be, but it's still ...

posted on , by donna.

yay. after knowing about cherry's engagement for a month, i finally got it together and made her a wedding binder (instead of just getting one from kikki k) basically just used leftover fabric from my fabric cupboard (yeah, i know, i have a fabric cupboard) and basketweaved it to make the cover instead of just giving her the mint green fabric binder i got from officeworks even though ...

new year, new layout

posted on , by donna.

new year, new layout! new year, new resolutions! this was the old layout, which i've had since 30th January, 2011: as you can probably notice, the blog's had quite a big revamp...(obviously have way too much time on my hands, not). then there were last year's resolutions... aside from...be nicer to family and bitch less about life - i've pretty much failed on all other ...

posted on , by donna.

sometimes i can be truly terrible when it comes to my diy projects... this one in particular has taken me nearly 3 years...(sigh) i remember back in 2009, when i was just getting to know janice and i made her get me quilt materials for my 21st birthday... and now here we are, january 2012 and all (and i'm almost 24 -.-)! the construction of this quilt can be broken down into two stages. oo1; ...

2012

posted on , by donna.

it appears that at the beginning of every year i have a very melodramatic moment of panic in which i become completely overwhelmed by what's in front of me... le sigh. there's just so much possibility in a new year, you know? i was going through my to do list from 2011, and realised...i'm really crap. like, really crap. so much i managed to put off, postpone, etc etc etc but at the same time, i'm super elated that i can finally cross new zealand off my list, since it's been there ever since LOTR: ...

beijing: day 6

posted on , by donna.

Late start Brekkie breakthrough on the second-last day: finally realized the burnt toast looking thing was actually banana bread and it was good! First stop was another summer palace With the longest corridor or whatever (i think at this point, it's obvious i don't really care cos the places of interest are starting to look the same) (post-hoc wiki: the corridor is actually called ...

beijing: day 5

posted on , by donna.

Woke at 6:25. Earlier wake up call so that we could leave the hotel at 7:15 Ate brekkie in 10 min. Which frankly, was plenty of time... Going to ChengDe (承德) today. 3.5 hour drive with proposed toilet break supposedly in a safe bush area where the men stand on one side and the women on another and the women get umbrellas. Hmmmm... Can I go for 3.5 hours with bathroom? we'll find out... --- Turns ...
