A Stitch In Time

2010-06-18T20:16:00.002+08:00

Because you asked why we stopped updating...
and I am so bored.

Watching the Germany / Serbia match now.
I feel like I wasted my entire day. Felt good sleeping in but also kinda depressing. I would have gone to work had I known I would have been cancelled on. Pfffft.

Hello!

Kinda busy with work too. But, that's another story better left off the WWW.
Want to go shopping. Siigh.
So tired everyday.
School starts next week.
Going to die.

Wow I seem to remember a time two years ago I made a post announcing the revival of our little stitch blog. Well, here is another one, immmm back! No more trashy photos of stars though..
So melly, how is work? Is msn disallowed? How come I never see you online anymore..I is sad.

Sigh i working hours have been announced to be ending at 5pm from now till 26 nov. Sadness becomes me. Tiredness too.

2008-10-09T09:33:00.003+08:00

We only have 48 posts?! How pathetic.

It's the 9th of October already and it's actually pretty scary to think that I won't have a job next month. I sure will be glad to be able to sleep in, but... that's all I'll have!

Let's have that holiday. I don't really care where we go.

2008-10-04T12:25:00.001+08:00

my head goes thump thump thump.

Yes yes we've got a new hobby indeed..but I'm still stitching! Just at a very slow pace.

thump thump thump.
And tonight again!

Thump thump thump

2008-09-30T14:04:00.003+08:00

Chelly+Melly have a new hobby; one pretty far off from stitching.
But, Chelly's pretty busy with other stuff too. So....... I guess that explains it.

The last picture you posted didnt at all do justice to the greatness that of the Jonas Brothers.

Im kinda not feeling that pink V neck thing Joe is wearing though...but other than thattt awesome-ness...especially that pulled by sleeve thingggg

How can it be possible for a family to be so damn good looking

okay seriously, they even look good after a flight....and thats an awesome LV bag btw...their stylist really deserves his pay..

i think Kevin looks good here...the whole skinnys with trench coat look...like a trendy business man..

Anyway, my main point is.....

Dear Nick Jonas,

Will you marry me?

Haha, I'm already counting down the days and thinking about what I want to do. So far, it's come down to eating doughnuts, sushi, tiramisu and wanton mee. That, and going to Chinatown. Exciting-ness.
But I really hate public holidays that are mid week.. Totally disrupts the flow of the week. I keep thinking it's Sunday.

Her squint is serioussssslllyyyy doing her good. I think she looks damn niceee. I dont know why, but everytime I look at her, I keep thinking her name is "Apple". A nice dreamy apple.

In case you didnt realise, thats Madonna. Her albulm hasn't even been realeased yet and she's on the cover on ALL major magazines this month. And she looks damn spectacularrr in all of them..These magazines are even going on to say that minimal retouching was needed for the shoots...so her body seriously looks like thatt...we all know she works out to stay that slim at her age and she looks great.. but DAMN, check out her muscles! A lil too much right...and the way she wore her fur trimmed coat...FIERRRCCEE!

I think she's really pretty...and she doesnt get into trouble like the rest eh. Except that she's dating that Milo guy and he's like 30 plus? I like that she's bigger framed and yet manages to look nice...something different from the usual thinsperation girls in the industry...but the first and last picture i dont like. too photoshopped...and action chio.

okay this man above is really preggnant.

He used to be a woman...and went for a sex change. However, he decided to keep his reproductive organs. Years down the road, his wife is proclaimed infertile so he decides to carry the baby for them.

"The much buzzed about 'pregnant man', Thomas Beatie will be a guest on Oprah's show Thursday.
Beatie's a transgender man that is expecting a child. Though he underwent surgery to switch genders, he kept his female reproductive organs and is nearly six months pregnant.
He tells Oprah that his current wife Nancy is unable to conceive and that's the only reason he's going through with the pregnancy. Beatie was able to conceive via artificial insemination.
Thomas tells Oprah in a show clip, "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."
He expects to deliver a girl around July 3rd."

yeah! Power to equal rights! Just cause you're both carpet munchers should not mean children should be denied. Although i think adoption would have been a better choice.

I wish we got Oprah here.....le sigh.

2008-03-30T23:42:00.003+08:00

Heellllooooo. Here we are again- another Sunday night I don't want to go back to work post. Seriously... I don't like having to work. But I probably wouldn't like not working either.

This guy, who is seriously too free, has been putting actual human features onto cartoon faces to see what they would look like if they were real.

While he did a good job, I cant quite decide which one freaks me out more...

The Musical Rumba Table, from MusicalFurnishings.com, makes noise when you bang around on it. It's basically a table with different percussion instruments attached to the underside of the individual tiles...cause you know..we all need to perform music as we eat right..

And if you want, you can even customize your piece by choosing from the 12 available percussion modules (cowbell, tambourine, snare, bongo, etc.). They come in sizes from 2' x 2' ($800) to 4' x 4' ($2,900).

It'll be just like your very own African drumming pow-wow meeting..except no Africans.

"This mirror is made so you can see all angles of your head at one time. "The 360 Degree Mirror saves you from constantly twisting your neck while you style your hair by featuring a seven panel 360 view that makes all angles visible simultaneously." It costs $40 and the middle mirror is illuminated using three AAA's."

I would never use this mirror simply because there would be too many places to look out for ghosts at. Especially in a hotel room!!

This is a picture of Steve Jobs made entirely out of Apple products!

They first made it in Dec 2007 but they had to edit it Feb this year to include the new products like the pink nano and MacBook Air.

Eh, I cant find my red nano..can you? Or is it the one at his neck area..

Here's an update on Amy Winehouse's face. It looks like she had chicken pox! Anyway, with such bad complexion, she really shouldnt be eating that fry..or making her spots worst with concealer on them.

For an old woman..I think she looks really hott. And this picture was just 2 days ago. I know its all fake cause she admitted to having had liposuction and all..but damn! Anyway, here's her secret to her radiant and non saggy/wrinkled skin:

"I feel like I've always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimize your health and healing," she told Dave. "I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy." Demi describes how four leeches got drunk on her blood, starting from her bellybutton, and how they don't like hair and prefer waxed or shaved skin.

(As sick as it ounds, I actually dont mind trying it..I read that it doesnt hurt at all)

This picture was actually taken off a post talking about how she's making progress in rehab and is at step 9 now..and calling people to ask for forgiveness..But what really caught my eye was...her jacket! I know it might look a little like its inside out..but so snuggly fitted and nicceeeee!

Anyway, I really like my slutty tattoo idea..haha and i think I'm going back to the same place we did our tattoos and my tongue. I think i'll be more comfortable flashing my boobs to her. I'm having some mixed feelings about th sizing of the words now..not sure if I want it bigger or smaller..And will wearing a bra hurt for a day or two? Especially right after it. Or just screw it la..dont wear!

PS: Tech post coming up! haha it has been my usual routine for the past year or so to search up these weird gadget things everyday after perez-ing..So fun!

Just a hunch...

2008-03-25T22:40:00.003+08:00

But you must surely be bored... Anyway, if you're still unemployed (let's hope not) in May, let's go on a trip okay? I'm exxxcited. Really looking forward to this new -shall we call it- journey. Kinda scary at the same time though.

Anyway, that hearing aid thingy. Quite a smart money making idea actually.

Come online at night.

"Batphones were designed by Matthias Ries to help the hard of hearing by use of echo. They're basically a pair of shaped plastic cups you wear like headphones. "

Wtffff..it looks damn stupid! But at the same time, I cant wait to see some cute grannies wearing them...

PS: I swear my cousin Melissa has the exact same cupboard as the one pictured behind the old lady.

"This shirt from Nihon Uni of Japan allegedly protects its wearer from knife attacks. But be warned -- only slashes, NOT stabs. They cost anywhere from $190-$522 for short-sleeved models and $220-$590 for the long. The shirts are constructed of a ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber that's 3x the strength of cotton. Apparently they were designed to address the recent increase in knife attacks on convenience store clerks and children in Japan."

Im just wondering, since its made in Japan and meant for the people of Japan, why the hell use ang moh model?

Random Note:

I had beef quay tiao for dinner and the smell is still in my breath even after 5 mints

2008-03-25T00:44:00.003+08:00

Dont you find that she squints alot when she's posing? But the effect quite nice eh! She acheives that fierce-y serious smokey-eyed look pretty well.

I like the picture of her in the blue dress the best..btw, her husband was found dead yesterday from drug overdose..scary ehhh

If her husband takes drugs you think she does as well?

And i actually thought she was one of the sane singers!

Insomnia sucks

2008-03-24T03:41:00.003+08:00

its almost 4am and i cant sleep..this really sucks ahhh..ive been rolling around for hours..

anyway, just for the heck of it...this much was done just before i attempted to sleep...

im bored and damn hungry!!!!

2008-03-23T21:29:00.003+08:00

Ive spent the entire weekend doing nothing too..i wake everyday about 4pm and my whole brain is so so sluggish from sleeping too much.

Anyway, I changed my application to CAAS..instead of immediate, i changed it to 1 month notice..then after this post, Im going to send my resume for the HR investment bank thing i showed you the other day. I figured might as well earn at least a month of 1800 right..

And yes i so know what you mean by neeeding to do something exciting soon. Im also thinking of another tattoo...but i just cant decide on what i should get. I was thinking of getting an old detailed key in the middle of my back.at the bra strap area..with a lil tag with a heart on it..

In the mean time, check this out!

Its a washing machine that is connected to your toilet bowl..what happens is that the water you use to wash your clothes is used to flush your toilet...how enviromentally friendly! haha looks pretty cool too..

Okay im gonna go back to talking to you online now..

I feel so completely bummed because I've spent too much of the long weekend doing nothing. Feels like I've wasted it. Did a little bit of work here and there. Did a lot of sleeping. Did some walking. Did a lot of cleaning. Watched some shows. What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a really good show (by the way) -- a young Johnny Depp never fails to deliver.

I can't believe that it's already Sunday night. I predict tomorrow's going to be mad-ass screwed up.

I need something new/ fun/ exciting to happen. Now.

Tattoo!!

"You may have already seen this awesome television raising system before because it's been out for awhile, but if not, check it out. Made by MK-1 Studio, the system stores a 50" LCD or plasma television under the bed, and then whips it out for your viewing pleasure in 35 seconds."

Unfortunately I heard the damn thing costs $14,000. I would really love to have this attached to my bed. Imagine if i hooked it up to my computer as well! I would never leave the bed.

All you have to do is squeeze the air filled bladder, and your book gently opens to the right page. It just transfers the air to the other air chamber and makes a little space where you left off. Quite a unique approach to the tradditional bookmark idea..Im just wondering how its supposed to stick to the page if you were to bring it around in a bag or something.

The words on the pic describing it is damn badly translated or something ah...Aladin's Tube to a whole new world?? Wtf?!!

Soooo Cuteeeeee

He's 9 years old and super cute :)

Im still bored and as of 10.30pm today, Ive only completed this much:

2008-03-21T15:00:00.005+08:00

Im so bored laaaaaa

Please come online and talk to meeeee.....

Anyway, Amy Winehouse is promoting breast cancer awareness! With all the coke and smokes and shit that she's taking,She prolly already has it! And if she doesnt, it might just be the only part of her body thats alright. Check out her face and arms...her face got green boils and mad cold sores...EEEeeeeeee

Okay I really need something to do now...and no one is online at all...

I predict many posts coming upppp...unless you come and talk to me :)

2008-03-19T23:23:00.008+08:00

Well the last sewing piece i was doing was for a friend..and i got all the way to the backstitching part and it got really complicated and i lost interest...kinda like what happened with the person it was meant for actually..haha

so after that i started a piece that was meant for cny..but its kinda boring cause it only has one color involved and the thread is the metal kind so the thread is damn irritating to sew with. Again i got bored and left the last few stitches for later in life to do..You can only see a lil of the fish's head.. Anyway, here's a picture....

And so this job hunting thing has got me really bored with life and I thought i might as well start YET ANOTHER project..so i searched under the bed and found the packets of kits that Lester got for me the other time...

I chose this design and thought maybe if I did it properly, I could send it over to my soon-to-be Stepmom in Japan...As you probably recall, its from the same series as the tissue packet that i completed a few months ago.

As you might have guessed, I think ive finally figured how to do the whole picture posting thing properly..

haha anyway, to end off, here's a picture of us!

Helloooo. No updates from me because I haven't sewn anything in the past however many months. Yeah, I had fun too. I never see you online anymore. WHY?

I'll try to find me passion for sewing again.

Thoughts of you are tattooed on my mind

2007-12-16T16:16:00.000+08:00

Hello hello why no updates from you? Haha i had alot of fun yesterday especially the exchanging presents time...times like these that i wanna stop and get emo haha

sigh,the heart's been heavy these few days and i think a lil dose of alcohol should help me unwind,break down, and build myself up again..

sewing wise,im done with that project! And starting another one..bUt i cant post pics of That cause its a present and theperson might read...so in the meantime,tell me how talented i am!!

2007-11-27T23:03:00.000+08:00

Here's what i have done so far!! Haha moving slower than i would like...but no choice la im so tired after work that i just watch tv straight after i get home..weekends are much better to sew..anyway, im so excited about ur new job!

2007-11-27T00:51:00.000+08:00

Hello! Eh my foot has that water bubble blister thingy argh..i sewed a little just now! Haha but packed everything back in the box already before remembering i wanna take a snap..anyway, here's how i secretly sew at work in between articles.. :)

We're not dead,just floating

2007-11-26T00:21:00.000+08:00

Ookay i realise that the lack of postings isnt exactly the best motivation for you to keep visiting,but i just realised how i can submit a post from my phone..and with pictures too! Haha so after i sew i can just snap and post.

An idle mind is the devil's playground indeed! Haha so im sorry melly,but expect lots of random posts in my attempt to win your attention back again..
Anyway,i've started sewing again and i cant imagine what might have made me stop..haha so here's what i did in slightly more than 24hrs..haha impressive heh!!

2007-08-14T22:57:00.000+08:00

Awww. Doesn't this look so pretty. What's left is pretty easy to sew, except for the outlines which I so totally and completely hate doing.

Ok. That is all.

Meli

2007-08-12T17:57:00.000+08:00

Yay. Finally. For all you loyal readers! All 5 of you.

Ok, the last picture I took just showed the addition of the green blanket. As you can tell, it's coming along slowly. But I just sewed somemore today and the cloth's outside and I'm a little lazy to go get it.

I predict I'll be done in about a month's time.

2007-08-11T01:57:00.000+08:00

Isnt this pretty? Its by this stencil artist that I really like...I wouldnt mind tattooing that but with some ballons flying away...other than that I have the star stencil ready for some ink!

I was thinking get the Star first and then if I wnt to, i can incorporate the vines in later

Oh, Btw, i added a Label called"tattoo" so we can label any tattoo stuff
under it..should I make a "piercing" one too? haha...oh, and the next time u post, under the label part, type Melissa to create a label for ur posts..

2007-08-11T01:38:00.000+08:00

-Chelsia!!!

2007-07-08T00:39:00.000+08:00

What I'm sewing now:

What it's supposed to end up looking like:

Where I'm at:

Haa, sorry it's so blurrr.

I'm finding this quite annoying to sew because there's so many half stitches &I get so confused trying to keep track of the pattern.

I feel so productive now. I just spent one and a half hours organizing my jewellery box.

Dive Right In!

2007-07-03T23:30:00.000+08:00

This is before and after i added in all the outline back stitches...i love how it just changes the whole picture after that.haha..now i just got the eyes left and the words on top...haha as u can see, ive been sewing REALLY slowly these few weeks...

Anyway, this is how the final picture is supposed to look like la..cause i think the sewing kinda tough in allowing you to picture how its supposed to end up looking.

And yes, the cheap but kinda ugly box...i keep all my charts at the bottom and the upper tray acts like a lil tool box..haha..lets go to that shop together soon!

2007-06-14T23:29:00.000+08:00

This is what im gonna do for my next project after im done with the duck...looks pretty right? im gonna send it over to my maid in Japan...and i was thinking of sewing a pendant to the center of the vase too...now Perlini Silver got sale...so a pretty pendant now cost like 6 dollars

Remember that daay i told you that i found a craft shop in People Park Centre? They were having a sale and the only thing that i knew i needed was a sewing box...and there so many really cute ones there..but all above my budget..and then i saw one with a really Ching design...but 5 dollars only! haha i bought it la..

I didnt manage to take pics of the bag that I made for Lester's mother yet but I did take pictures of what im currently working on! haha its the Duck from "Suzy's Zoo" and i havent done the outlining back stitches yet so the duck isnt properly defined right now..

Anywa, how can i move the pics ard? Everytime i add in a new pic, the damn thing goes right on top, hence, u prolly realised that this post doesnt flow very well...

2007-06-13T23:52:00.000+08:00

Woohoo. My first post! Okay so the picture's not so clear because its taken with my phone. Its just too much of a hassle to get the camera and load the pic. Quite nice right. I was supposed to outline the flowers as well but I thought it'd look too black so I just left it. I think it looks nice.

Ooh. I figured out how to wear the skirt as a dress! But I so regret not buying the belts.
