so i've been browsing...exploring...admiring other ppl's blog...stumbled across a couple of things.
i must say...i seldom take to strangers' blogs easily...ppl nowadays have such odd values...and lead such unhappy, discontented lives...but today, i was pleasantly surprised...
came across this lovely blog...can't help thinking how this lady has the life I want...happily married with 2 kids (go find out the rest for yourself *heh*)...she's actually my age...and a Christian too! it's odd when we come across someone and we think...hey, I want her life. not so much of being unhappy with where God has placed me...but just that lil part of me that secretly wants a life that I (big big big capital I) have always dreamt of. ever had that happen to you? doesn't happen to me often...actually i seldom have such thoughts lah. it's just esp odd that she's my age...and she's chinese...and is kind of living the life i want...it's not a perfect life...but when i was 18, i did hope that by now i'd be married with kids...with my own home...tend my kids...fight life's battles with my own family.
went to visit a friend (cum ex-colleague) at her home...to visit her and her baby!!! he's such a cute lil thing...i'm super envious...spending that few hours with mummy and baby just makes me really really want to be a mummy too...NOW. *sigh* yes, God...I know I have to be patient...and wait...and live according to Your will and Your timing...help me to submit and wait...to follow You and live the life You want me to...
on a different note...i came across this and thought it was quite cool as well. i'm not exactly a techie...but i like these techie stuff...if you liked that...this is another one...
oooh...another thing...i finally worked on cards!!! since i rearranged everything into the nice trays where i can work more conveniently at my desk...this is the FIRST time i got to work on cards. one
for my friend (new mummy) and one for E (bday)...i must say...i'm really happy with these 2 cards...managed to use the nice wrapping papers i bought from jb quite long ago. they're not as ex as the scrapbooking papers...the first one is for the mummy & baby, the second one is for E. i started working on them at 2 plus or 3am...only managed to get to bad at 7...so i spent about 4 hours on the 2 cards. can't tell if that's a long time. i think i must be a really slow worker. die lah...my christmas cards how? must think of some way to mass produce nice ones this year *hee hee*anyway, it was really very fun making the cards...and i was all excited after i completed them to take pictures. i've been taking digital pictures of my cards so that i can actually
remember what i've made. sometimes i think it's kind of like an ego thingie... but on the other hand...it'll be good to remember the designs and layout so that i can improve on my 'masterpieces' and not repeat the same designs too often. sometimes...i really cannot remember what i have made siah. so this is also a request lah...if you actually keep the cards i've made... can take a picture of it and send to me? i've been doing so for the cards i made since july this year though.ok enough of showing off. i'll gush more about my craft stuff another time. in the meanwhile, i'm determined not to step into a craft shop unnecessarily (i might have to get some stuff for christmas cards)...cos everytime i do...i spend lots. *heh* if you are thinking of what to get me for christmas...just get me a nice little rubber stamp. (emphasis on LITTLE...cos rubberstamps don't come cheap lor...)
i'm going to try to spend my days in the next week or so enjoying myself...make cards, think of the design for christmas cards this year...read a few books...hopefully spend more time praying and meditating on God's Word...meet up with ppl...hopefully drive out to meet ppl for lunch (without mom or dad sitting with me in the car...I have yet to drive on my own!!!)...work on new blog template...watch the vcds i bought (i have 3 audrey hepburn movies! *crazy*)...oooh, sounds like that's a lot already.
i'm still trying to guess who ms/mr anon is...eh, dun 卖关子 for too long can? i'm not the most patient person on earth lor. and it's been quite quiet here...no one responded to my post of good old yf days siah *pout* ppl are not tagging or leaving comments either...feels like i'm in a vacuum. though i know ppl are reading lah. but u know...when u tell a joke...u know ppl are listening but they don't respond...it's kind of odd right? aiyah...i don't know what i want lah...nvm.
sometimes i really think i shouldn't ramble too much here. i'm in two minds about this siah...argh. maybe i should keep 2 blogs...but then it'll be like spilt personality or not?...but there are just so many aspects to life...odd to mix them altogether...but they DO come in one package what...u understand what i'm saying? ok...should stop rambling here and head for bed....nice comfy bed...weather is still nice and cool...
goodness...i keep reading my own posts and coming back to edit it...grammar and all...am i weird? do u all do that? just can't stand it when i see errors lor...sometimes i think i'm losing it...missing words or letters when i type...*sigh*

i wrote a super loooooooooong comment but when i clicked publish, i was d/ced.... now it's ALL gone!!!
should i type all over again? ugh... ok ok.. here i go.
your cards look super super super pro!!! look like those you can get in shopping malls. i'm utterly impressed. if only i'm smart enough to do something like that... haha.
eh. i DO tag and comment to your posts k... can't help with the yf post tho. hee... i'm not THAT old. hahahah. and you're not in a vacuum can... cos i'm here!!! guess it's pretty normal that ppl don't comment or tag after they read... that happens in my blog too. i've gotten used to it now. hahaha.
you don't have to have 2 blogs... life consists both daily mundane stuff and spiritual journeys... just write what you want. be it ramblings, spiritual journeys, daily happenings, encouragements, problems etc... life IS made up of many aspects and God has made them all fit in perfectly. no doubt.
you're not alone when it comes to reading own posts and editing it after that... missing words and letters... happens to me all the time! heeee.. that's why i always try to vet thru once before publishing. can't stand errors too! ugh.
sorry for being so random...
shall share a quote that i think is pretty meaningful...
"I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life, God gave me life that I might enjoy all things."
i like being anoNymous.
why you wanna know who i am? not that it'll make a big difference... maybe i'll decide to tell you before you leave... see how. teeheehee...
dearie... have not visited your blog for some time cos I didn't think you updated so often... but i'm surprised to see so many posts!
I think you should have a separate personal one... then you can ramble and 'rant' all you want there!
Oh, when are we going to hang out and stamp/scrapbook? I really love the cards you made... can't wait for the next time we can do this tog...
hee...dearie...u know what? i think i accidentally clicked on some setting and ur comment was like stuck somewhere and i didn't know...think it was waiting for me to moderate or something...when i was redoing my blog then i discovered ur 2 comments lor...
anyway...think it may have to wait till after i come back from cambodia...or after jay's wedding!
