ETA: Wow. Apparently there was an ugly drama going on. I don’t want to comment much since this is the internet, after all…

So the voting contest on Facebook got cancelled ๐Ÿ™ Here’s what the organizers posted:

ANNOUNCEMENT OF EVENT CANCELLATION

Due to continuous reported complaints of spamming and flaming of participants in this event to us and Facebook, we regret to announce that this event will be cancelled with immediate effect. We understand many of you have taken the time to commit to this event and we deeply appreciate your efforts. We wish to let you know that cancelling this event was a difficult decision to make and the final resort we had to take.

We thank all for supporting this event and we hope most of you have made new friends and had a fun time looking at everyone’s photos. This page will still remain as a platform for all to share their baby photos with each other and to befriend more friends.

Thank you once again for supporting us and do continue to tune in to “Precious Babes” currently airing Monday – Friday at 9pm on Channel 8.

Take care ๐Ÿ™‚

I know I should probably be angry with them (like how a lot of parents are at the moment, as they express it freely on the event page, and the organizers keep deleting those complaints. Actually, it’s quite hilarious.) But I don’t know why I find the whole thing rather funny ๐Ÿ˜†

I personally feel that the whole thing wasn’t really well organized nor thought through. I mean, they didn’t even state what the prizes were! (And it didn’t occur to me until my friends asked what Zayden Asher would win.) There wasn’t a set of proper guidelines nor rules, thus, the spamming and flaming flooded the comments. (I wouldn’t really say flame but the spamming was just advertising, right? After all, they didn’t state that it wasn’t allowed.)

Anyway, I personally feel like I jinxed it by entering Zayden. It always happens to me ๐Ÿ˜•

Ah well, it’s a nice tickle to a long day ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh, wow. It’s June already?

I’m not sure what this month can bring. After all, I have always quite liked June since I was young. The long holidays must have something to do with it. Or maybe it’s my birthday. Anyway, June is awesome! ๐Ÿ˜€

Now that Zayden Asher is growing up, I sort of miss him when he was a newborn. All small and snuggly, not struggling to get out of my embrace, not-so-smelly poop (minus the watery parts and staining his clothes half the time), really tiny hands and feet…

It makes me feel like wanting a newborn all over again ๐Ÿ˜† But that’s definitely not going to happen any time soon! Those who have met me over the past few months would know that Zayden just tires me out and I’m always complaining about not having time to do my stuff. (Not that I’m complaining about him. He’s such a dear.)

Anyway, I saw this on an e-newsletter and I am sooo tempted to get something for him!

baby adidas shoes
How cute is this?!

baby Converse shoes
and this?!

baby PUMA shoes
I wonder if they have this in my size ๐Ÿ™‚

(Pause for a bit. I’m very distracted by an old re-run of a local drama serial (The New Adventures of Wisely). Casting great, old stars like Li Nanxing, Zoe Tay (I love her!), Phyllis Quek, Yvonne Lim (I love her, too!) and Hong Kong actors Michael Tao and Patrick Tse. ZOMG! They are actually playing Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” in this scene?! ๐Ÿ˜• )

Anyway, ever since I was pregnant, I have some deep fascination with baby feet. They’re so tiny and cute and very, very smooth. When Zayden was born, his feet was smoother than his skin!

Siiigh. Cuteness overload ♥

(Another distraction. Has anyone seen the new commercial for GATSBY’s facial wash? It’s so funny even Zayden laughed at it. Oh, Adventures of Wisely is back on again. I wish there was English subtitles on these midnight re-runs. I still can’t understand what they’re saying half the time ๐Ÿ™ )

I’m hoping for many good moments this month ๐Ÿ˜‰ Wishing you a great June and summer/winter! ๐Ÿ˜€

Sooo… I saw this on Rachel’s blog and decided to do it too ๐Ÿ˜€

1. When do you feel happiest?
When I get what I want! Haha… Not really. When I feel loved, doing what I love, and loving those around me.

2. How do you take care of yourself?
I’m terrible at this. I snack most of the time and forget my meals sometimes. I guess I am trying to stay positive with the right mindset.

3. Are you internally (by yourself) or externally (by others) motivated?
I believe I need to be externally motivated. But, ultimately, I’m still internally motivated. I have to convince myself to do things then things get done ๐Ÿ˜•

4. What do you do for fun?
I find this a rather tough question now because I can’t find the time to enjoy anything fun! But I love photography, cable-skiing and getting crafty ๐Ÿ™‚

5. What intimidates you?
Social gatherings where I’ll usually feel awkward among strangers and second degree acquaintances.

6. What is something you’re proud of?
Getting my diploma. It’s weird but I had always thought that I wouldn’t complete my studies in that way ๐Ÿ˜†

7. Finish this sentence. I never _____________
ate durian before.

8. Favorite vacation spot.
I’ve only been to Malaysia and Batam. Neither of which are my favourite. I can’t wait to have the chance to go New York City or Hawaii though. Surf’s up! ๐Ÿ˜€

9. Today is a (rate from 1 – 10).
7. Zayden Asher was pretty cranky in the morning and my arm is aching because I had to carry him around central to get some package posted. He’s napping away now (that’s why I’m doing this!)

10. Finish this sentence. If you knew me really well you’d know _____________
that underneath this bright sunshine personality of mine, I’m pretty dark and twisty (at times) inside.

Zayden Asher
(Seriously, how can you not melt with that smile of his?)

This actually shows how little TV series I actually watch and follow. Then again, I didn’t watch a lot of shows besides cartoons till I was 15 ๐Ÿ˜•

Anyway, I’m doing rather badly on my resolutions, am I not? ๐Ÿ™ I’ll write a better post next week, definitely! ๐Ÿ˜€

Have a great weekend! ๐Ÿ™‚

So I was going through my Google Reader when I came across this awesome tutorial by Elsie and now, I really want to sew something up for Zayden Asher ๐Ÿ˜€

I even did a sketch and I really can’t wait to start!

But I don’t have a sewing machine. Nor do I have any sewing needles/threads. And I still have to go through nice clothing that I don’t want anymore. And with the little time I have, I don’t know if I can make one any time soon ๐Ÿ™

Anyway, if you’re wondering about the title, yes, I was coming to that. The original title of this post was actually “itching to do some sewing” but after I wanted to post the sketch of the plushie, I was debating taking a photo (of the sketch) with my iPhone or my digital camera or Guan’s DSLR when I rethought about it since it is really troublesome to keep uploading the photos.

And then, it struck me: Photo Booth!

And then I started playing around with the effects and had a mini-photoshoot ๐Ÿ˜†

The Sketch

(I know, I should’ve stopped at “The Sketch” but it’s so fun I decided to share the rest even though I look super unglamorous.)

Photo Booth Photoshoot
Messy hair + weird face = caught dead seen in public

The Bulge Effect (Hey! I look like Jackie Chan! LOL!)

Photo Booth Photoshoot
The Dent Effect

The Twirl Effect

Photo Booth Photoshoot
The Glow Effect (Ooh, I actually look decent here!)

Oh, look! Zayden got up from his nap and just had his feed ๐Ÿ™‚

Photo Booth Photoshoot
(Teeheehee. I couldn’t help it.)

Okay, gotta run. He’s fussing now ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
