Made with loads of effort

Quite a while ago, I chanced upon this girl who made really gorgeous bracelets on Etsy.com.

I wanted to get one (actually I wanted all) of her stuff but she was based in Canada and after adding all the shipping costs, it'll be pretty pricey! :(

So there I was, just envying and ogling from my computer screen. 

Till one day, I found out how to make them!!! Apparently it is so easy & there are so many people giving tutorials on it. I was soooo excited I quickly went down to spotlight one day & got all the materials I could find!

Here is my first loot! 

And here is my first bracelet -- a very simple one! I made some mistakes so it's really bad

Looks a tenth of the real thing.

And this is how the original looks like: (HelloBerry.com)

Then I went down to another store and got more of the strings!

Here is my 2nd bracelet. (or also known as friendship bracelets)

I had fun making it because it was such a breeze, I only had to be careful about the different loops with each knot I made. If you know how to knit, this is something like that!

Then I decided to make more variations since I had so much I could use.

This was a pain to do because it is very important for the chains to be straight!

One lop-sided and it won't be nice anymore.

With every thread through, I had to adjust them.. Gahhh! Too much work. haha

An orange one which a friend commented looks quite indian-ish.

It is actually really hard to wear this because how flimsy it is..

I might change the clasps if I ever bother to! Hahah

Then I went on to make the next type.. This is my favourite of all!

Braided ones!

All my handmade bracelets (except for 3rd from left)

In the process of making my 2nd one! 

Which was muchhh better :)

Tadaaa~~ My pride and joy :)

Went on to buy even MORE stuff.. which I haven't really been making use of!

So far I made a braided one of a yellow/orange neon string and a bling bracelet..

(one on right)

Then I made Chubs a leather friendship bracelet but a keychain form

and hook it to his bunch of keys as a surprise! Heh :)

xx

On to other edible hand made stuff! 

I tried making a Pasta Caesar Salad one day because I love both pasta & caesar salad!

It's suppose to be a dry (no sauce) and cold type of dish.. which is very easy to put together.

Just use romanian vegetables, cherry tomatoes, boiled egg, bacan bits, and other stuff you would like,

cook the pasta, and very importantly, add the vinegar/dressing - I used Worcestershire sauce.

Top it with grated cheese, and you're good to go!

Other ingredients that I would like to add in will be some potatoes and chicken slices (both diced coz it's suppose to be easy to eat), ooh yum yum! If you are lazy, you can just use chopped diced ham that is readily available from the supermarket (mainly Cold Storage). I think it is called "unwanted pizza toppings" haha!

If you still find it dry, you may want to add some caesar salad dressing :) Basically, just go with your feelings~~~ Hee

This is a good dish to pack and eat at the office because it's easy, fuss free & doesn't smell (so you can eat at your table without disturbing your colleagues' stomaches :P) Gotta put it in the fridge for the best serving though!

Here are my pretty food equipments for me to take along to work for overtime days!

All from Daiso :)

(which i have not used at all hahahahah, but hey, still very pretty right?)
