Goodness! How I miss the clicking
sound of the keyboard each time I write something in my blog. Or better said HOW
I MISS MY BLOG!! Plenty of free time I have had these days but the only update I
offer is a recipe, of which I’m sure lots of my fellow bloggers have bragged
about. What a shame. I even bought one month worth of broadband!
But the blame for my negligence has
to be put on something else, though. Something artsy. Something colourful. Something
that requires so much attention that if you dare let yourself be clumsy, you
will face GREAT DEATH… of motivation!!
LOL. Sounds serious, right? But it
is true, though. Quilling has gotten myself real busy nowadays and the only place
I would be at almost all times is my workstation.
My, my, what a brave
statement to say that I have a workstation. In reality it is only a Japanese table
with the foldable legs which one of them is already broken. I have to secure it
with some string before using it. Can’t even put strong pressure on it. Or else
it will collapse. Serves the idiotic me right for not checking the table’s
condition fully before proceeding to the checkout. Haha…
What is quilling, you ask?
Well, quilling, my dear, is an art of coiling/rolling stones
paper strips and turning them into various shapes which can then be used to
create other things such as flower, animals, whatever it is that your
imagination inspires you to do. An example is shown above where my imagination was somehow quite dysfunctional thus the ugly HI that I made. hehe...
It is rather easy to be done. But patience is
very required in it since the process of coiling/rolling will consume much of
your time before the real creating business can begin. If you have little/none
of this patience, you might as well just find other pastime to fill your spare
time. Boxing, perhaps. *grins sarcastically*
Luckily for me, I have no issues with it. Although there were
times that I felt like breaking all three other legs of my Japanese table when
my marquis did not turn out prettily as expected, I still managed to endure it.
After all quilling IS highly effective to get me busy and forget all the agony
of failing my A-Level.
Not my agony, though. I have long ago screwed that stereotype
of ‘straight As students need to be in university’. I mean, duhh!! Straight As
students also have other things to be done rather than more studying just to
get another good mark on a plain paper. Like quilling commercially, perhaps. (Seriously
I have had enough of these people putting lots of expectation on me.)
Enough with the confession part. Now, off we go to my quilling
projects.
Oh, wait. Look at that time at the corner of your screen. It is getting really really late already. I need to go to sleep. I will share my projects later. See ya.
