One Quarter of the Year is Gone!!!

I know I should switch off my computer, and go get ready to leave for work... but I am still here because I have so much stuffs to catch up (on this blog), so much stuffs to say today... because today is the 31st of March... that means the last day of the 1st quarter of the year!!! Where did time go???

OK, every time I ask myself that question, I never get the perfect answer... so I turned to stuffs like my Photo-A-Day calendar, my 5-year diary and even this blog (that is, if I have been updating bits and pieces here and there, but it has been blank for the last quarter lah : P)...

And the first response will always be... alamak! what did I do for the last 3 months??? I know I was busy, but I did not seem to get "anywhere"... nothing happening has happened leh... I wasted my time doing and doing, but for what???

I am learning to look at life from a different angle, with a different sets of glasses... life has been happening, and I am getting "somewhere"... I just need to appreciate whatever situation I landed myself in... and count my blessings for all the good stuffs that I have... and I will be able to fulfil this simple yet complex statement:

"I don't want to get to the end of my life and
find that I have just lived the length of it;
I want to have lived the width of it as well."
{ diane ackerman }

Why Am I Letting Myself...

... getting all affected by that??? We have been through this many times... and I know deep in my heart why I make time to scrap... and why it is very important that I do so... and I have resolved to "do my thing" and be proud of it.

And yet I get all affected by those comments... and the comments were not even targeted at me!!! I felt guilty that I have spent precious time scrapping instead of doing work (even though I had scrapped outside of my working hours)... I have a serious problem!!!

I would create something... enjoyed myself thoroughly... and yet be "ashamed" to show it to anyone... for fear that people will think that I am "very free ah"... I have a serious problem!!!

I am going to wear my "Miss Contrary" t-shirt today.

A new bumper

... for the car.

Yes, again. Minor accident going from a slip road to the main road... thought the car in front had moved off... but driver braked upon entering 1st lane... HS could not stop in time (after stepping on the accelerator)... no one was hurt, except the bumper and the pocket... a few days without the car... lucky it was the March school holidays...

Yes, the same suggestions from well-meaning friends... change the colour of the car lah... buy a new car...

Here is the collection of the my every day in the 3rd quarter of 2011.

52Q - Week46 to Week48

I nearly lost the momentum to keep up with this project, until i realised that there are less than 8 weeks to the end of the year... which means this project will be coming to a close soon!!! Jia You, SC!!!



I die-cut the tags with my new Sizzix die, and piece them together like puzzle pieces.



I love this question... and I was amazed at myself for remembering the unit number of the old one-room flat that we used to live in!!!



'Nuff said!!!
