Arts Tutorial: Handmade Felt Frame. :D

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;)

Getting tired of your boring daily routine? Let's take a break and do something crafty!

Here's another arts tutorial of mine. theeheee~

Long ago i had once suggested to made frame using old calendars as seen on the entry here>> Don't toss your old table calendars

Now, i'm suggesting another way of displaying your favourite photographs. :)

Tadaaaa~ 

 Let's make a picture frame using felt fabric!

First thing first, things you gotta have are felt fabrics,scissors, needle, thread, and a little magnet.

and then, all you have to do is cut out your fabric into shapes that you want and arrange it nicely.

 Then, sew up the shapes on the front side of your frame.

 The other option, you may simply stick the decorations using a hot glue gun, or fabric glue.

 

 For the back side of the frame, sew a tiny pocket at the back before you insert the little magnet and sew up the whole sides of the pocket.

 Next, combine both front side and back side of the frame by using the 'blanket stitch' technique.

And voila! your frame is ready to be stick on your fridge or white board or simply anything which made of metal. :DDD

bugs' life in my campus.

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;)

Talking about 'bug' would always reminds me of my childhood movie, "A Bug's Life". Remember? theehee~

but the movie isn't what i'm going to focus on.
Referring back to the headline, YES! There're a lot of bugs, insects, and some kind of weird creatures in my campus.
Well, i can say that my campus is very very deserted and located so far far away in the centre of a 'jungle'!
That's the reason why i've found unknown species of insects for quite a few times.

While the rest of my housemates ran around the house and shouted like they had just saw a ghost, usually i'd just sit there, ignore the insects, and continue doing what ever i was up to. HAHA. Being the girl who isn't afraid of insects somehow has turned me into someone who have got to 'rescue' the rest of my housemates. LOL!

Oh ya, most of the time, I'd capture pictures of them no matter whether they're beautiful, cute or 'hideous'.

So down here are the pictures!

black ants.

a white butterfly.

a died grasshopper.

a 'teenage' grasshopper. :P

 

a 'riang-riang'. i'm not sure what is its specific name in English, but if i directly translate from Malay language, "riang-riang" means "happy-happy". HAHA. It came from family Cicadidae [found out from Wikipedia] and ohh, it sounds so noisy!

 a,,, i don't know what is this called.

and this one. so tiny and cute! :P

but this one looks so weird like a combination of butterfly, grasshopper, and bird! :O

Besides these, our campus also once surrounded by a lot of Rhinoceros Beetle a.k.a Kumbang Badak.

i didn't took the picture of it, but down here's the picture i've got from Wikipedia. It's so biggggg you know! :O
  
 Ohh, not to forget, a friend of mine, Lyeanna's fingger was once stung by a kind of wasps, [or bee, or hornet, or what ever i don't know!] during the previous study week. 

The funny part was that she actually caught the insect by using her bare hand just because she said that she actually wanted to 'try' how hurt it feels being stung by it. LOL!

what a weird reason. xD

tadaaaa~ here is the consequence of her doing! >>>

her finger was swollen for about a week,and she has got to put on some Chamomile cream in order to reduce the itchiness.

See, Bella even doodled on her friend's injured finger. hahaha. pity Lyeanna. :P

That's all for now, will update later as if i found other 'rare creatures' in our campus during this coming semester.

Alhamdulillah, i still got the chance to stay in college in the next semester. :)

Science students become Business students-cum-Art&Design students??

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;)

"Science students become Business students-cum-Art & Design students??" that's how the title of this entry sounds like. okay,,

i think, some readers must be noted about my previous status as a Science student who eventually decided to take up Business Studies at university right? HAHA. Somehow i feel a little bit funny when i reread my old entries about the so called 'dilemmas of pursuing studies'. Okay, forget about it!
What ever it is, now i'm a Business student, and i'm happy about it. ;)
I can't deny, sometimes i do miss learning Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. but when i looked at my previous housemates who're taking Science courses stressed-out too much to memorize all those Science facts has somehow made me feel relieved.
 The best part is that, i could finally spend some of my time on doing arts! YEAY! :DDD Unlike during those years as a Science student, i left back all the pencil colours, paints, and brushes back then.
i was a liltle bit regret that i didn't took Art subject as additional subject for SPM. heh~

Ironically, even my Micro Economic lecturer, Mdm. Hanani asked the students to made hand-written mind maps as creative as we can for all the chapters. :O

So, down here is the mind map which i made on the topic 'Supply'. Yeah i know the topic has nothing to do with angry bird. HEH. -,-"

Other than that, i also made customized t-shirt and shoes for my marketing project as i told before in my previous entry >> HERE.

Using the remaining Acrylic paint, i decided to decorate the container of the chocolate moist cake that i presented my friend, Norshahirah Azahar on her birthday. :)

Well, since my campus is located so 'far far away' from the town, so i've got nothing to buy for my friend's birthday. So i simply bought the cake from cafeteria and beautify it! :D

At the same time of me doing that, Bella, Eddy, and Lyeanna were there too.

Thus, Bell decided to decorate Eddy's Blackberry Silicon case.

Oh FYI, Bell and Eddy used to be science students too! :D

At first, Bell randomly drew a TV set on the case before they washed it off and finally decided to draw the Union Jack instead. HAHA.

After the three of us worked on it, tadaaaa~ here's the result!

Besides good in academic and doing arts, Bella and Eddy are both talented in modeling too! :P

Thus, that's the end of this entry.

I assume that what i mean by the title up there is crystal clear now. :)

Murnians' Gathering 2012

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;)
In a blink of the eyes, it's been a week after i had a class reunion with a part of my classmates during lower form. Here's a little info: The name of my former class during form 1 until form 3 was 'Murni'. That's why i entitled this entry as the "Murnians' Gathering". :D For me, lower forms [13-15 y o] was the sweetest moment i had in my entire life so far. i think many others might have the same opinion with me right? At that time, most of us were still naive and didn't have much things to worry about. Life was just about family, friends, and school. We also learnt new thing in life at that time, likeeeee... social networking? HAHA. I could still remember the first time i got my own e-mail address "ted93_elien@yahoo.com" when i was in form 1[2006]. Then all of sudden i've got my own accounts of Yahoo Messenger, Friendster, and Friendster Blog. Aww~ during these days i could hardly found anyone who's still using the YM. :') even FS is no longer exist as it before. It comes with a new tagline "Living the Game". :( Thus, i've already deactivated the FS account. Okay okay, back to the main story!!

 

After discussed for quite a few weeks on the Facebook group with the other members, we finally made a decision that we'd be meeting at the Seoul Garden Restaurant in KL Festival City on the 17th Nov. This restaurant is actually my mum's favourite. :) Years ago, the restaurants were only got in 1Utama and Plaza Pantai in Kerinchi. But since a new outlet has opened in my place, so why not i introduce it to my friends! At first when i suggested the venue, Niezwan said "No, i don't want Korean food!" HAHA. Yes, the name kinda sounds like a Korean restaurant, but it's actually a BBQ and steamboat buffet restaurant. :D The keyword "buffet" means "all-u-can-eat" and that attracted him to agree with my suggestion since he loves foods, a lot! ;D The plan went very well even though the whether wasn't really good. It was raining like cats and dogs in the morning, causing a flash flooding in front of my house. It even ruined my sneakers, sobs~ so Hariz a.k.a. Ayam [who fetched me that noon] asked me to change my shoes immediately! *ceh, garang kunun! HAHA.

We started to cook, and talk, and eat, and talk, and cook as soon as we arrived there at 12.30pm. After about an hour of non stop eating and talking, we went to surau group by group for a Zohor prayer. After performed the prayer, each and every one of us continued eating and talking and eating like a boss until 4 o'clock in the evening! WOW! :O We got a lot of things to chat about. Well, i haven't met some of these people for quite some time. Most of them  left our school in form 4 for SBP, MRSM and private schools. Only me and a few others weren't going anywhere back then. SAD.

but today, i'm glad to have doctors, engineers, accountants and lawyers soon-to-be. congrats to all of you! :)

 fikri jalil, muzil azman,,

Up here is my self-made ABC. :D When i was busy decorating my bowl of ABC, one of my friends trolled me by asking whether i'm actually taking business studies or art and design? LOL!

 

 izzani awal, syue hussin, anis aziz

athirah nasir, fazlin noorman,, NAKAMAS!

 the girls :D

  

The picture down here was taken before Syue's going back. She actually wanted to shot a picture with the FATINs; Fatin Azzahra, Fatin Amalina, and me, Fatin Suriani. but the others kept distracting us. See, there's shadow of Ayen in front of me. He's trying so hard to spoil the picture. LOL! i just can't stop laughing when being around them.

 After that, we had a so called  "ice cream race"!

 Tya, Anis, and Hariz Pena as one team. 

Ruzaidi Rahim, Niezwan Wahid, and mujil as one team.

Zara Lokman, izzani and i as another ice-cream team. :P

Fazreen Fathil? Hafiz Nordin? Fikri Jalil? Fazlin Noorman? makan sorang sorang.

everyone were so full after four hours of non-stop eating. :D

 after done with the 'lunch', we take a stroll around the KLFC. Like always, me and these not-so-little Murnians KIDS went to the Arcade centre. *tak matang kan? xD

here's Ayen, Wan, and Eddy 's gay-ish pose.

 ohh, not to forget, Ayen showed pictures of his so called 'awek' on his iPad to prove that he's not gay, maybe? xD

 Next stop, we went to Econsave since Izzani  and Tya wanted to grab some food. While the others just walked around and had some more chat in the baby section? heh~

 And that's the end of our  gathering for this year. :) Zara sent me back home at 6p.m. Ohh ya, We planned to set another gathering early next year before some of the Murnians fly to overseas. YEAY! :'D

ohh, here's a picture i grabbed from Ayen. It somehow reminds me to a picture back in 2007 down here >>

Spot the differences! HAHA.

*btw, jari tuu menunjukkan cita-cita dia untuk menjadi PM ke-8.

this is my favourite picture. image source: Syuhada's :)
