I promised to post my bead work finished product, right?
Here’s it!
Supposedly, it only takes about 4-5 hours to finish this.
But, since I am a ‘busy’ teacher (cheh!)…I did this in two days.
At night time only (when I’m not blogging).

The pattern on the wrist is the basic to do the neckline pattern
I also promised to some…that I will post a picture of me wearing my beaded baju kurung.
So here’s it! (and me plus friends with beaded baju kurung as well)

Two more projects to go.
For now, I’m off to finish my Lesson Plan.
Catch up again tomorrow.
It’s Friday!!!!
*hugs*

When Nessa mentioned that she just replaced her eyeglasses recently and that alone cost her about RM300, I kind of hesitate to changed mine.
Well, not that I don’t know how expensive some eyeglasses can be.
Mine was nearly RM200 and that amount is big for me.
I have been thinking of replacing my current glasses cos it has worn out and the left glass is slightly tainted with gold color acrylic spray. I had it when I did my bro’s wedding favor for his wedding last year.
And I think, my eye sight is getting poorer too.
Not much but yes, poorer than before.
So, in order to get my glasses replaced…I need one of these two options.
Go to my optical shop and buy a new pair.
Or.
Browse for eyeglasses online.
Well, I can do number one option.
But I really dislike the hassle of going through massive traffic jam in the town just to get my eyeglass replaced.
That leaves me with option number two.
ZenniOptical.com still offers its’ $8 eyeglasses.
Cheap right?
But it is not just about it being cheap.
In fact, its’ range of eyeglasses doesn’t look cheap at all.
And they must be really good to have a popular US talk radio host, The Clark Howard Show recommending this brand to the world.
I love this one below….

It comes in three more shades beside the above.
I love the flower pattern on its temples.
Very nice! Very pretty.
If my glasses really in need of replacement… and again, if the crazy traffic jam bothered me… I think I will give this ZenniOptical.com a try.
I just need to work out my hand on the mouse, fingers on the keyboard and credit card ready.
Ha!

I think most of you do not answer ‘unknown’ or ‘private’ numbers from your mobile phone.
I don’t now.
But I did before.
Not once.
Not twice.
Three times!
And that resulted me in having to purchase two insurance over the phone.
Fortunately, that insurance are not scams.
The third time, I politely turned down the offer (although I was damn sure the girl was very adamant).
After those three calls, I promised myself to never answer calls from unknown numbers.
No matter how many times the numbers appear on my list of ‘missed calls’.
No matter if it is from some banks (although, I somehow know which bank calls are genuine call for something urgent).
No matter if it is from someone I know (but they have changed their number without notifying me first hand).
However, I would be lying if I do not have the slightest curiosity of who’s been calling me repeatedly despite my ‘No Unknown/Private Numbers’ policy.
If only we have a service to trace any phone number that left tons of missed calls in my Missed Calls list.
At least, with that kind of service, I can trace down which calls are genuine and not from some lunatics doing prank calls. Or those telemarketers trying to sell their product by starting their conversation with, “Do you have 5 minutes?”.
Bless those who are staying in the US and Canada for the existence of such service.
Now, if you have changed your number…. remember to notify me or else you will be receiving no answer from me whenever you call my mobile phone.
Well, at least leave me an SMS telling me who you are so that I’d be able to pick up your call (in case you need to talk).
PS: I’m still amaze at myself forĀ entertaining those ‘Do you have 5 minutes?’ calls before.

Tuesday 1401

Presenting to you, my latest work.
Actually, it’s not finish yet.
But, I’m so excited to learn new pattern and might as well share with you how I feel. *hee*
You know, baju kurung is like the new ‘it’ dress for me.
Every time I spotted baju kurungs anywhere, I’d be standing/staring longer in front of ‘em than on other things.
But given that the baju kurung has beads adornment on it lah.
Kalau tiada…boleh kasi limpas. Ha!

So yeah, I did the pattern above after kind of observing one baju kurung while jalan2 at 1Borneo on first day of Raya.
Not very neat but my colleagues love it! Ha! Ha! Ha!
If I’m done with the first baju kurung above, you know I will show it off again.

Sunday 1131
Oh man!
It’s Sunday already?
How time flies like a jet plane. Ha!
On the brighter side, school’s end year holiday will be in 6 weeks time.
Well, I know it will come by pretty soon.
This 6 weeks remaining, I am really gonna be hectic with end year reports, etc, etc.
Just like last year, and the year before, and the year before…
On a different note, my Raya celebration was just so-so.
Only one house-visit this year.
Hope my colleagues will hold open house when the school re-opens. *fingers crossed*
Now, here’s some pictures during my Raya visit.
It was actually hubby’s colleague’s open house.

Alright, gotta stay away from blogging for few hours.
I’m still not done with my exam papers for the school final examination coming up on the 20th.
Great Sunday everyone!
*hugs*
PS: I’ve received good news; my BFF is pregnant again! I’m so gonna work hard to catch up with her. Ha! Ha! Ha!
