Hello 2012!

It's the 2nd day of 2012, time to dig into my lousy memory and reflect back what I've done for the whole of 2011 :)

January 2011

I had a sudden obsession with Charlavail and LoveAndASandwich which are 2 really creative and inspiring girls who works a lot on handmade stuff which also led to my new obsession with buying craft stuff and experimenting around.
I also somehow couldn't stop browsing pictures of domokon and spending more time on tumblr. Oh, I ended January by making some owls!

February 2011

I ordered a Charlavail honeycoma tshirt! But I only realized that I picked the wrong size when it arrived, but I still love it! And I kept the envelope it arrived in cuz Charlavail drew a lil bee on it :D
Didn't do much for Chinese New Year, stayed in KL and hang with friends and stuff.

March 2011

Got myself a new pair of specs, Police brand, but since it was a 'P' at the side of the frame, I call it my Paramore specs. teehee. Ordered myself a Charlavail and SamiiRyan collaboration tote bag and accessories, but it got lost in the mail :( SamiiRyan refunded my $ tho, since there were no extra left

April 2011

Made more owls and gave them to some friends. Stumbled and discovered the magical cuteness of Amigurumi and start digging for tutorials and buying supplies. If you are wondering "What is Amigurumi?", it's adorable knitted/crochet dolls.

May 2011

It's my Birthday month! Completed my very first Amigurumi, it was messy but all the same an adorable blue octopus. Bought a couple of Amigurumi books. Celebrated my Birthday by participating in the Company's Bowling match and played Archery for the first time, then ended the day with some chill time.
Ended the month by going to a job interview, time for a change of environment.

June 2011

The awesome @kellster held a wonderful BBQ party, one of the best nights ever. Good food good company, new friends :)
Went for Chic Pop 8 and bought a load of craft supplies! Yay!
I also quit my first job which I have loyally worked at for almost 5 years.

July 2011

Cousin Vicky and boyfie Mike from UK came to visit! Had a load of fun taking them around shopping and eating and a quick trip to Malacca for some lovely food. Shortly after saying goodbye to them, we got news that Vicky and Mike got engaged. Another wedding around the corner.
Also got myself another new piercing, a daith piercing with is on the small bone located inside the ear.

Had a slightly disappointing farewell from my previous job, I don't care if this is public, and people read it and get offended, but I now know who are the real people who really cares that I am leaving! Time to move on.

August 2011

A new beginning, first day on the job. Started well, was really fuzzy about the industry cuz I had no experience whatsoever in the line, but I'm coping. Also adjusting to the totally different work culture which is more laid back.
Completed a little cat from a DIY kit I bought from Chic Pop 8.

September 2011

Ordered in more Threadless T-shirts and head off to Genting with my new colleagues. Genting trip was a great time of bonding and relaxing.

October 2011

I finally got to experimenting and playing with Sculpey polymer clay, and made myself some Charlavail sugarskulls. I REALLY want to buy some of the originals made by her, but I always miss the sale and every single sugarskull gets sold out :(
I'm really proud of the results, but I ran out of white Sculpey...

November 2011

Hong Kong here I come~ A little vacation planned by Ryan's mum for some shopping and family bonding. It was a great trip but 5 days was not enough to see everything. Definitely going to plan to go back again, and visiting Disneyland!

December 2011

Finally got the chance to get more Sculpey but there was no white in stock, boo....next time I'm going to buy a bundle when there is stock!
I got myself an iPhone 4s because my iPhone 3Gs is practically useless and keeps dying on be, plus it costs too much to get it repaired.
Spent Christmas at Colmar Tropical, too bad it rained the whole trip, we just spent most of our time walking around in the square and going to bed early.
Manage to plan a real last minute NYE party at Ryan's place, and got my mum to teach me how to make some Steamboat broth for the party.

And there you have it, a very brief run through of my whole 2011, I know I missed out a lot but if I included everything then it wouldn't be brief now would it :)

I should make a point of having a monthly post so I don't have to keep cracking my head trying to remember all the past events that happened within the year. That's all now, time to start making plans for 2012.
