I want an iphone 4

Bear bought himself a HD Desire this trip to Taiwan. Even bear has a smart phone now, I just can't resist it anymore.

I am so shallow, everything has to be pretty, so I am always the biggest apple fan, and I would only go for an iphone. And yes, coz of my ocd, i only want iphone 4, coz the shape of iphone 4 is more consistent with my ipod nano.

My contract with rogers will end Dec 11th 2010. After talking to customer retention, i have got everything i want for 52.98 plus tax.

everything I want is:

500 mb data, 200 daytime min, 2500 text message out, early evening 6pm, call display, voice mail, unlimited canada-wide my 5 calling...

This is the best deal compare to other provider...but the problem now is i need to wait for iphone4 to be in stock....is that going to be forever? no idea...what's the best thing I can do at meanwhile?? I googled about iphone4 availability earlier, someone say they got customer retention to ship it to them, maybe I should try it? anyone has any idea?

Wedding Card for Cyn

This is the wedding card for Cyn. I feel really bad that I can't attend her wedding, to make it up, I made her a Wedding card. I printed out one of their pre-wedding photo from facebook. The quality isn't super, but it's reasonable (didn't wanna ruin the surprise so I didn't ask them for the photo). Again, first I picked the colour scheme, brown and pink, then I started my design from there. First picture is the front of the card, second picture is the back.

Birthday Cards

This is my first attempt to handmade birthday cards. It's actually quite simple once the layout is picked. I was flipping thru paper craft book, one of the project in that book inspired me to this layout. When I was trying to put together the ideas for this card, I realized the importance of "eyelets". Yes, it seems very small and non-significant, but guess what, this little metal thing is the key to make a card or a tag look much more professional.

This layout is very simple, the most important thing is to pick a colour scheme. From there pick a solid colour paper stock and a patterned paper stock. I made two birthday cards using the same concept.

If you have any comments about my cards, leave me a line. I would love to have feedback from people, so I can get better :)

here I begin again!

So...I have abandoned this blog for almost 5 years, just yesterday I have decide I should clean it up and really start recording all the fun things I am doing these days.

I think this time around I would have better motivation to keep the blog going, 'coz I don't like to be called a quitter, well that's only one reason, but I decided to dedicate this blog to my hobbies. So it would be mostly about climbing, crafting, snowboarding and cooking.

Anyway, let's hope I will be successful this time :D
