Paper Pad 6x6..



Hello readers..Well, I think I had started my 2013 very well. (tak sempat pun nak wish Happy New Year aritu..sorry..) Hehe.. Well, I had spent a good fortune in the first month of the new year..On what? Ni la nak cite.Last month, on 07.01.2013, I've decided to spent some money on my card making hobby.. I've bought paper pad!! What is it? I'll show you in a minute ok..

Well, I've been Googling for crafts supply last month (saje2 je). Then, I've come across this blog yang jual some crafts products for card making.. Best giler.. Murah hokeyyy.. Yela, I'm a student, not working, and doing my craft just for fun. Not really on business basis, so mesti la nak cari barang yang berkualiti but affordable.. I'm really thankful to this blog for the priceless treasures that I've got.. I got the treasures here: http://crafteeguiri.blogspot.com/.. Go and look for it if you're interested in card making ok..

This is the parcel that I received on 09.01.2013.. Happy tak hengat waktu dapat tu. Hehe..
These are the paper pads! Cute sangat! Rase sayang nak gune ok.. Owh, yang kat tepi tu adalah tali kain yang dinamakan Divine Twine.. Gune untuk card making jugak..
Those yang kat atas tu adalah 6x6 paper pads. Yang bawah tu pun ala2 paper pad la, tapi loose.. Same size 6x6.. Semua patterned paper ni double sided.. So double best..
How much did I spent on this? Ni huraian harganye ye.. Divine twine tu berharga RM9.60 for 30 yards. i bought 6 colors. 5 yards for each color.. There are some new colors as well, but I only bought this first. As I'm thinking I'm not going to use them that much and not any time soon. So kalau dah gune and tak cukup baru pegi beli lagi.. Next, I bought a Six by Six Happy Day 6" paper pad RM20, Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky 6" paper pad RM18. Both paper pads contain 24 sheets each, both are double sided and the size is 6"x6". 

Then I also bought 3 Grab Bag 20 sheets of 6"x6" double-sided patterned paper card stock from the following MME line: Confetti, Andrea Victoria, Bella Bella, Bloom & Grow. The price is RM27 for 3 sets. Means RM9 for each set (20 sheets). Murahkan? Mane nak dapat, so I bought all these.. Banyak je pattern lain, but I'm interested in this jek.. I'm really looking forward untuk beronline shopping di sane lagi.. The owner pun sangat baik and ramah.. I really love to deal with orang2 yang sangat nice dalam melayan customer.. That's one thing that makes us to be a return customer..

Owh total belian I adalah RM80.60. 2 Paper pads RM38 + 3 Grab bags RM27 + 30 yards of Divine Twine RM9.60 + Postlaju RM6.. Murah hokeyyy.. What a good buy.. Tapi none of them yang I dah gune. Means tak gune langsung lagi.. Haha.. Sayang nak gune.. Lagi pun takde mood nak wat card lagi, coz tengah buat order mini felt brooch and quilling frame.. All about craft ok.. Hehe..

Done with that online shopping punye cerita. Next craft treasure that I bought in 2013 adalah something that I got from Scrapbook Memories in Tropicana City Mall, SS2 Petaling Jaya. Here it is..

Its a 2" scallop puncher and 1 sheet of 12"x12" patterned paper!!
Harga asal 2" scallop circle punch adalah RM96.00 + Cyber Kisses Patterned Paper tu adalah RM4.40. Tapi cashier tu bagi discount 10% untuk kedua2 barang, means discount RM10.05. Jadi total kedua2 barang adalah RM90.35.. Jangan la ingat I membazir jek beli alat ni semata2 untuk my hobby ye. Pembelian scallop puncher ni bukanlah satu pembaziran pun coz En.asben and me can use this untuk business card kahwin yang sedang kami usahakan.. Gune untuk punch thank you card untuk customer.. Ok la. Done untuk belian di tahun baru..

Ok la.. Next entry I nak update pasal felt brooch la.. See you guys in da next entry k..

Wowowowow!!


Wowowowowowo!!Lamenye tak berblog.. Tak sempat.. Huhu.. Rindu tak? Rindu tak? (En.asben yang dok cakap lamenye orang tu tak update blog..) Haha..

I'll be in my third semester on this coming Monday (18.02.13).. Huhu.. That means I have to come up with a research project. This is what makes me work a little bit harder and not visiting my blog for a very longgggggggg time.. Hehe.. Still working on it though..

On 30.01.13 (Wednesday), I went to look for my supervisor-to-be.. I went to see Dr. S******h as she was assigned to be my advisor according to my offer letter. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to fill up any form nor agreeing to my request on-the-spot.. Huhu.. She wants me to convey her with my topic choice.. My chosen topic at that time was on British English and American English in Malaysia.. Her question then "so what?" Huhu.. Betul jugak soalan beliau tu.. (But that was a so 'cold' reply..) *menangis dalam hati teresak-esak*. 

Credit to Google..
So what kalo Malaysian ni guna British or American English. Masalahnye, I went to see her tu, nak discuss what should I do. What are the things I need to look up.. Huhu.. At the end of the meeting, she gave me a week to come up with a proper topic. Owh, walaupun Dr. sedikit mean terhadap saya di awal pertemuan, beliau tetap memberi beberapa cadangan dan tunjuk ajar yang amat berguna (Melayu abes kan ayat ni? Haha..). Trimas Dr. *terharu sikit*.

So next weeknye 06.02.13 (Wednesday). I went to see her again. But this time, I came fully prepared.. Al maklumla, seminggu masa diberikan. (sebenarnye tak fully utilised utilized the whole week pun, amek 2 or 3 hari je untuk google and membace journal. Haha.. I'm on holiday mood kot.. Kene wat research plak..) Haha.. sepatutnye I berusaha bersungguh2 kan.. This is for my future kot.. Tapi, tapi, tapi.. sifat malas sangat tebal. Lebih tebal dari my wallet.. **utilised-BrE, utilized-AmE, be consistent bile gune English ni ye.(including me of coz)**

I went there with this topic, "The attitudes towards British English and American English among students and lecturers in Private Higher Education Institute." Unfortunately for me, it was rejected, again.. Muahahahaha.. *giler sekejap* Why it is rejected? It has been done by others and especially it is done by one of her supervised student.. *insert loud cry here (tapi dalam hati jek)* Common sangat dah topic tu..Ok, I tak putus asa. 

Dalam fikiran I, I need to take this subject (research project) in next semester by hook or by crook. Sebab subject ni 6 credit hours and we have to complete it in 2 consecutive semesters.. So kalo ikutkan perkiraan I, I nak abeskan dalam 2 tahun jek. Tak nak lebih2. Sian En.asben dok menanggung I. Setahun (2 sem) dah pun berlalu.. Tinggal sem depan and 1 more sem to come.. So kena gak dapatkan supervisor and topic bersesuaian walaupun terpaksa hadapi pelbagai rintangan hokey..

Thank you Mr. Google..
Owh, sambung perbincangan dengan Dr. S.. Dia akhir pertemuan tu, I dengan tanpa segan silu bertanya "Err..Dr, do you have any suggestion on the topic that i should do for my research project?" Dr. pun reply "What are you interested in? I don't want to give you any random topic that you are not interested in coz i don't want you to feel burden with a given topic.. Or else, you will blame me (dengan gaya mengajuk, beliau berkate "haa..tula, Dr. yang bagi saya topik ni") Huh? My reply "No, no Dr. I won't do that (dalam hati, mintak2 la I takkan berkata begitu di masa hadapan. Hahaha..) I just need some suggestions..

Bole tak, I sendiri tak dapat decide what am I interested in. I nak cakap I'm interested in teaching and learning, tapi nape tak cakap ntah.. Rasa macam topic tu agak lame and dah banyak ngat research on that agaknya.. Lastly, Dr. S pun decide on "metaphors".. Amek kau.. Topic yang zaman degree. Ingat-ingat lupe. Yang I ingat, metaphors sangat banyak digunakan dalam literature. Tapi, Applied Linguistics has nothing to do with literature. So metaphors yang I kena wat ni adalah related to language. Basically, semantics.. Semantics has to do with meaning ye dear readers.. So a week lagi diberi untuk mencari topic yang bagus..

A simple explanation from Google
13.02.13 (Wednesday), its today!! Haha.. Tapi.. I bole plak sibuk hapdate blog? Haha.. Sebenarnye Dr. S bercuti, jadi I tak dapat nak jumpa dia today. Tapi I dah call dia and discuss a bit bout my topic. I want to do something on "The effects of metaphors on attitudes toward the advertisement and the brand". Dr. S cakap, that is interesting..*my hati is lighten up a bit, a bit jela* I told her that I want to do the research based on the advertisement in TIME magazine (memandangkan I memang subscribe TIME mag..). Tapi Dr. S telah memberi cadangan untuk menggunakan magazines berkaitan ngan cosmetics coz that would be easier.. As in a trance, I agreed je atas semua cadangan beliau.. Yela, takkan nak argue plak.. Obey jek..

At last of our conversation, Dr. S ask me to come and see her tomorrow. To further discuss la.. Hurmm, bear in mind ye readers, di kala entry ini ditulis, masih belum ada persetujuan supervisor antara Dr. S and me.. I really hope yang Dr. S akan terima my topic thus menerima permintaan I untuk di supervised oleh beliau.. Tolong doakan ye.. Huhu.. By the way, gaya penceritaan di atas telah membuatkan Dr. S nampak seolah2 agak kejam. Haha.. Namun hakikatnya, beliau tak la sekejam mane pun. Beliau adalah seorang yang sangat baik and comel.. I chose her pun because she's an expert in her field ok. Sangat expert. Dia dah pun produced ramai students yang cemerlang kat UPM ni. Yela, semua tindakan yang beliau buat tu adalah untuk memudahkan segala2nye and supaya takde masalah yang timbul di masa hadapan.. Love you la Dr. S (bukan nak kipas k, ikhlas. Bukannya Dr. S baca pun my blog ni, nak kipas2. Hehe..)

Ok la..terpanjang plak entry kali ni. Nak pegi google something on metaphors and cosmetics advertisement plak. Esok dah ade appointment ngan Dr. S. Kene fully prepared.. Doakan I akan dapat tangkap beliau untuk dijadikan supervisor k..
