my life in year 2011

actually i should be out of town today,
but i extended another day at home

want to take this opportunity to update my blog

tomorrow will be the last day of year 2011

(and thank God i'm still alive for now)

this year was such a challenge for me

(well, for the past three years actually was a big challenge for me, really and it effect my relationship with people around as well as seeing the world from different perspective)

There was a good, bad, joy and sad memory for me and my family this year

i've lost many people that i respect and love this year

-two of my lecturer, my neighbor, my friend's father and brother, mr.A's grandpa and my beloved grandma

Other than that, my long wait vacation was cancel last minute due to emergency

being a victim in flood and lost many items and pets

(our little cute puppies, the little chicken, our birdie, our fish, our tortoise...T.T)

also my laptop broke and i need to spend more money on it

and...i gain more weight (isk..isk)

well, on a bright side i should thank God that i'm still alive today, for the courage and faith in me to move on and continue the journey

i wanted to say congratulation to my 

dearest cousin (Ridzan Rapheal & Zeddy Sipin) 

and my friends (Epa & Nancy)

 and my senior ( Kaka)  

for their wedding and wishes them a happily ever after life ^-^

i also wanted to say thank you to mr.A for the wonderful gift that i never forget 

(you know that you are my lovely santa! *big smile*)

couldn't wait to play with that candies *grin*

since i looove craft

 (someone says to me, the craft was one thing that i have passion about and make me more hardworking cause i alwayyyyys careless and lazy when it comes to study *well, what can i say i'm a last minute person*)

i really wanted to try needle felting and right now was absorbed with it!it was such an awesome craft

 and i suggest you to try it

but, since i was superrrrr busy with the Christmas celebration and flood

i don't have time to create and do lot of crafts items *heavy sigh*

by the way, i really really really want to show you the picture of the craft i made,

 also with the needle felting works, and sew me easy project 

(i do meant it! and i also promise to show it)

but, i can't cause my only camera also was a victim of the flood

(i never can use it anymore, and i don't have enough budget to buy new camera)

there's a lot i want to tell but i got to be ready to go home

anyhow,

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

 this is my unfinished gift project

(i choose the felt according to their wedding color theme)

 tada..my first wedding gift for my cousin

white and red combination suitable with their theme

 this one for a friend's sister

purple and white theme

(for this wedding season lots of them using purple as their theme..huhu * jealous*)

and here is my final touch

my wrapping gift idea

hope they love it!

i've made it with love, passion and happiness for them

and

still, a lot of wedding gift project to continue maybe tonight

a day at craft exhibition

Luckily, there will be two days craft exhibition in my home town beginning yesterday and today

(off course i will be there)

i would say,this craft exhibition is more to local craft and it was creative and unique

Sabah was bless to be a  host to the diverse array of plant and animal species

thus, nature is part of life to local people in here

this including the art of local craft

i couldn't choose the best world to describe it

 so let's the picture speak for me

 craft made from colorful papers

adorable swan design

 local craft and 'bakul' made from 'rotan'

perhiasan made from 'manik'

 another craft made from newspaper or unused paper

 nice huh?

 this one made from the 'poker card'

 interesting right?

 colorful item made from plastic ribbon

 here our local craft

 unique basket for you

 made from straw

 this one very interesting, it's actually a custom for the dancer. made from the 'dalai'
(sorry, i only know the local word, but hey it's from a plant that usually grew near the river in Sabah)

 haha, this made by my neighbor in Muruk.
he is master with craft using or made from coconut
in the picture is the 'tabung', price is affordable and my mum also will purchase from him

 here another craft made from coconut called 'the ant'
interesting right?

 local music's tool made from bamboo

 the sound was very nice and unique

 a sample of our ancestor local house also made from bamboo

another craft from bamboo, hey it's resemble the 'periuk kera' which can be found in rain forest here


there still are lot of craft that i did not snap
(it's because i forgot to charge the camera, huhu and it's out of bat)


i always have a huge respect for all the local crafters out there
for their passion and love to continue our local tradition
you all have done a great work!
and 
i'm proud with our own craft
^-^
