During my heyday.

Archive for August 2008

Dear You: Almost three years ago, all I had was a twisted kind of faith in the melancholy of our broken friendship and a keen accusation at your constant absence in our lives. Most of the time, I did not really believe we could be friends again, because my twenty-year-old heart begrudged you for taking [...]

好想把我的全部都給你。

The truth is I have been doing very little more than sewing and following the Olympics on TV. My mother doesn’t think this hobby of mine is going to last but I am so, so addicted to all these fabric and my brand new rotary cutter. I’ve been whipping up pouches and wristlets for every [...]

The hope of fusion is that the halo will reappear.

For most part of the last two days I have been sewing quite a bit just to to get into the crafting vibe and learn as I go. My girlfriend wanted a little stationery roll so I attempted to make one with my favourite animal print fabric with the only type of stitching I know: [...]

Sewing (am I going to start every entry with the word “sewing” from now?) is tiring, especially when you are a rookie. But sewing is also absolutely self-gratifying, even if you are a rookie! Plus, I have my own sewing box now, courtesy to the wonderfully supportive girlfriend who not only thinks it’s a great [...]

As we were speaking of the devil, you walked right in.

I’ve wanted to pick up crafting for a long while now but never impulsed enough to do anything about it – until today.  When the summer first began, I made a plan to visit the Yongle Market (永樂市場) but was always quite distracted by other places of interest. Having immersed myself completely in sewing tutorials [...]

I’m distilling everything she said into a potion.

My girlfriend hates shopping. She welcomes gifts from a shopping trip with arms wide open but she hates doing it. She hates the walking, hates the cramped shops, hates my comprehensive search for the perfect piece of fashion. I always talk about shopping for the summer but we never actually do it; to spare her [...]
