November 2015

在家接近兩個星期了。很感恩天天都有媽媽的愛心飯吃，不像在學院每天都在煩惱吃什麼。
Twinkle Boy 還是一樣可愛，活潑，只是受不了他吃東西超難伺候的。一定要把雞肉塊捧到他的面前。
新的 DIY weekly planner 也寫了一個月。爸爸媽媽無法理解我為何什麼都要收。例如，一起出去吃頓飯我都要把餐單收據紙巾名片等等都帶回家。 😂 可是我就是要把它們通通都貼在手帳裡嘛。
現在還覺得有些遺憾，這個寫手帳的習慣怎麼沒有早一些就開始了，我錯過了很多回憶記錄，很多可收集的紀念品。

Entry #6

Had Nasi Lemak Sotong King with friends last night. Damn the sotong was really a king. With the first bite I knew I jeopardized my afternoon workout. 

Su Rong gave me a can of fruit drops. I thought they were just ordinary fruit candies but I was wrong. They are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. 

Birthday dinner @ Aoki Tei. I still drool at the thought of their Sashimi and Cheesy baked mussels. Ok I swear I just heard my tummy rumbling.

WISHLIST : MIDORI TRAVELER'S NOTEBOOK, VINTAGE RUBBER STAMPS, AND WASHI TAPES.  :( I'm lacking of all these.

Entry #4

Listening to "Take Me To Aruanda"

Effortless DIY Carnival Game for Kids

Tomorrow is the big day! I'm gonna be taking care of 15 young children at the English Camp! Today I worked on a DIY carnival game for kids, super easy like eating rice (a Chinese saying :像吃饭一样容易).

You'll need egg cartons (4), poster colors or paint, paint brush, pen knife, newspaper (optional), black beans (optional), cellophane tape.

Paint the holes in a random order. In my case, I used red, green, and blue paint. Red for one point, green for two points, and blue for 3 points. The color with the highest point must be painted at holes which are difficult for the kids to reach. 

Create a score board.

Like this. Simple.

Back view. Mine is kinda messy lol. 

Im going to use black beans for the kids to toss. 

For example, can you count the scores above? PS: Beans that fall into holes which is not colored = zero points. 

No Sweat DIY Hand Painted Mini Journals

It has been almost 5 years since I last painted something with watercolor. To be honest, I don't think I have the artist blood running in my veins. Some people can just draw whatever and whoever they see or images that bloom in the realm of their imaginations, but I CAN'T ugh! I need samples, or better still, step-by-step tutorials lol.

So today, I created hand painted mini journals for kids after referring to a few watercolor art samples from Pinterest. It was amazingly easy and effortless!

Prepare enough papers for kids to write on them. Lined papers, blank papers, colored papers, it's your choice.

For my case, I wanted my journals to be mini in size so I cut them into half. 

Now, prepare the cover page for your journals.

I used a calligraphy pen to create that artsy feel LOL but it is not necessary. You can just write in your own choice of font with pens, magic pens, or even print them out.

There’s nothing more fun than blending with watercolor! With blending, you can get an extraordinary range of saturation and tone. You can start an area with a rich amount of pigment, and as you add more water, it will eventually blend into delicate and soft tones. 

Punch a hole on the upper left corner of your journal then tie them neatly with a ribbon.  TADA! 

Summary of things you'll need:

• Papers
• Pen Knife
• Watercolor
• Watercolor brush
• Pens/ Calligraphy pens/ Magic Pens
• Hole Puncher
• Ribbons

DIY Congkak (A Malaysian Traditional Game)

'Congkak' is a traditional game of Malay origin widely played in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and Southern Thailand. Usually congkak is made of teak or mahogany wood, commonly carved into boat shapes. 

Learn how to play the congkak here:
How to play Congkak

Today, I did an easy version of DIY Congkak game set, it is eco friendly and light-weight too!

I used plastic bowls that I bought from SuperSave. Actually you don't have to buy new plastic bowls, better still, you may collect and reuse them. 

Arrange the plastic bowls accordingly. The photo shown above is actually incorrect lol. Should have 7x7 and another two containers beside.

You will need these wire ties to attach your plastic bowls together.

Use a pen knife to cut a hole through the plastic bowls.

Twist. Turn. Twist. Turn. There you go.

Yay done. You may add some deco or paint the bowls with any color you want.

Summary of things you need:

• Pen knife
• Wire ties/ Ribbons/ Threads
• Plastic bowls
• Deco stickers/ color paper/ paint (optional)

DIY Playground - Batu Pahat

An old, quiet Chinese settlement located at the corner of  Batu Pahat town and away from the hubbub is becoming a big attraction, thanks to its  “DIY Playground”.

It is a self built theme park by local residents, using recycled materials, waste materials and discarded wood. I am amazed by the creativity of the people who worked hard on the playground.  Seesaws, slides, spinner, pirate ship, flying fox, treadmill, tree house and a giant wheel are available here at the playground. The park even has a stage for local residents to organize events.

The local residents building a slide.

Mate and I trying out their new slide. WHEEE.



Watch how we slide down.

Playing flying fox!

Tiny stairs made out of painted old tryes

We went dizzy after a few spins

To slide down the wooden, we must rest our buttocks on the half split containers.

The tiny self-built theme park at Jalan Syed Abdullah is definitely worth a visit as the DIY playground is like no other.
