Cute crocodile

Some of my friend ask me, why you didn't use those things that you have made? I said, got are... this handphone string is something that I assemble myself, not to say I made the charm my self. The pink crocodile charms is one of my favorite charm now... I got hooked on it the first time I saw him.
Now my mobile charm looks too crowded, but yet I still love the sound and the charms lying around. I have now hook my handmade fruit tarts on my handphone. I know it looks abit crowded, but I like the 2 bells sounds. Now my crocodile have a big fruit tart to enjoy on its own... Haha...

Christmas card #1 2009

Sorry for the lack of updates... my camera isn't working quite well recently.
Christmas mood start wondering in town. I see shops are start decorating with christmas ornements and decorations. I started creating these christmas card earlier. Need to post them to overseas for friend and family or anyone want to adopt them can email me at ciyouong@yahoo.com.

This year, I didn't really buy much materials to do my christmas cards. I would like to see how is my creativity this year with limited materials to create cards that I like. Most of the materials are those exsisting ones that I have plus some newly brought ones.

I love the pink button snowflakes. They match pretty well on the cards. Christmas is all in themes of red and green. I try my very best to make sure it looks match and nice.
A greeny version of chirstmas card. I think I need to stock up for christmas wording or start carving some more wordings for my christmas card collection.

Christmas comes well with blue, white and silver color theme. These are from my last year carve stamps + gems + snowflakes...

Which one do you like more??

Stamped images

A surprise letter landed on my desk... it was a swap gift that I got from Ivy. This are so precious as they are hand carve stamps from her own personal collection. I'm so grateful that she gave me tons of them. It will look extreemly great on my future card making. Thanks Ivy.

House Hunting

TS suddenly feel that he wanted to buy a new house before the year ends.
I was not ready at first, not ready to make commitment toward the house loan.
But after some thought, rather then paying rent, might wise just buy a home to stay.
In addition, I have brought alot of deco items from Bangkok, but my current house has no place to put nor not suitable to put.

Started house hunting thru the internet, book some appointment for house viewing.
This continue for several weeks, sometimes the whole saturday we went for 4-5 places to view house. We started to find around setapak, but the housing price is too pricy. A brand new 1300sqt condo in setapak will cost RM350K++ and a second hand condo will cost at least RM300K++. Something not good about condo is every month we need to pay maintaince fee.

We look into double storey houses, but setapak area is more then RM500K++. We went futher, to puchong, usj, kota kemuning and putra heights.

Both of us love Kota Kemuning houses,you can have a look here and here. But its abit over our budget and it is quite far from town and located at Shah Alam. It's RM400k++ for a brand new unit. I hate those investers. They buy when the house is launch and sell it 2 years later after the house is completed in a higher price. That's why those people that really want to buy house to stay cannot find a new house because of these people. Another thing that keep bordering me are those legal and lawyer fee that will cost RM20K extra because our new goverment new law ~~ hate it.

Argh....... Still looking and searching.....
