Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane,

Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

Regards,
David.

Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95.

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realize with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb omission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

Regards,
David.

I understand and will definitely make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.

Regards,
David.

Anyway, my sister suggested to me that we should sign up for the Mount Kinabalu climbing expedition come February. “There’s a promo going on!”, she said. Uhm.. first of all, I’m not THAT fit. Yet. Second of all, I do not have all the equipments or clothes for that. Not even a cortech sport tail bag. Most importantly.. I do not have that enthusiast, yet. Maybe when I’m done with my 30 Days Shred, I will consider it.

Anyway.. whoa..it’s so hot today. Anyone for ice-cream? Let’s head to the beach!

Anyway. I was called by this huge, international makeup company for an interview today. The interview went ok. The salary offer was great. They even offered a meal allowance, makeup allowance, overtime allowance, sales commission.. and I heard that there’s also shoes allowance! Ha ha.. mana mau cari tuh? BUT the only con is: the working hours! Gahhhh.. why must there be a con. Can’t they just give me pros without the cons? :-( AND.. I will have to work on weekends. So sad. Anyway, I’m gonna give it a thought before deciding anything.

On the other hand, I’ve been actively brushing up my designing skills once again. I managed to design a new logo for a client before Christmas and this was what I did:

Just a simple black & white logo as per requested by the client. And we have another happy client! :-D

Dear John,

What’s wrong ?
Why can’t you just be anything you want ?
Why not ?
Why not ?

I tried to tell you then.
You didn’t understand.
They try and pigeonhole you.
Buddy, they don’t even know you.

But hang on my dear, dear, John.
Maybe you’re not just like everyone,
So what, so what.

And there’s more to live for,
Than some abbreviated encore,
Much more, much more.

You can’t define yourself
In terms of someone else.
You can’t say what you’re thinking ?
But I don’t know what you’ve been drinking.

But don’t cry.
‘Cause life goes on.
Dear John, you could be anything you want.
Why not ?
Why not ?

Why you could even be an astronaut,
Dear John,
Dear John.

PS: I still love Cyndi Lauper. Always will! <3

I think it was ballerina.

Or a singer? Since I sing a lot in the bathroom as a child, annoying the hell out of everyone who lives in the same house with me.

But if you ask me what I want to be now, given a choice, my answer would be:

Farm girl.

I’m pretty sure that this is the only female profession I’ve been dreaming of. Beats the stressful life of having to sit your butt 8 hours straight in the office – and gaining weight in the process that even the best scales go bonkers when you stand on it.

The strange thing? Is that I really can’t stand earthworms, frogs and everything slimy and eekie. I grew up playing with these things, like that one time when my brother threw an earthworm at me that it went down my shirt along with the loudest scream one can ever image coming out of an 8 year old girl. But it was fun. Yes, pure fun. I got traumatized by the sight of an earthworm since and I plan to sue my brother when he becomes a millionaire someday. *evil grin*

But on the bright side, I walked home today. YAY!! More power walks and exercise to burn my calories! There will be no unnecessary diets or even supplements for weight loss needed. Just walk home whenever possible and lose weight before Gawai. And in no time, I’d be having a pair of tight butt, just like J Lo’s. LOL!

Let’s see if I really lose weight from these walks. Come Friday, I’ll weight myself on the scale. *hee*

I just placed an order for a custom hand painted solid wood (bearing the initials of me and my fiancé) for our new home and I’m so excited about it!!! By the way, we’re shifting house, again.

The item would arrive in about a month’s time but I’m in no hurry since we’ll only be shifting at our new place by early April. You know me.. I’m a wee bit on the Martha Stewart side when it comes to home decoration – but of course, I’m the not-so-active Martha Stewart side lah. *hee*

If you’re planning to merrify your bedroom or office walls, why not try this cute hand painted letters? It makes spending time in the room/office reading reviews of best diet aids so much funner! :-P

So here’s one idea to help you save on those expensive chocolates and gifts on Valentine’s Day:

Let’s do some awesome paper cutting!

Paper cutting has been a craft for many years in many countries all over the world. In Germany, the art of paper-cutting design is called “scherenschnitte,” which literally means scissor-cuttings. It was a popular folk art in the 1800s, used to decorate birth and marriage certificates and even Christmas decorations.

I think your loved ones would really love this sweet framed paper cut. Beats those expensive ready-made gifts you can find in the shops, ya? Besides, working on this project is so much better than reading those acne scar removal, no? lol

Such as this one:

Well you can have your own too. Find out here and enjoy a five seconds of Saturday silliness. Right after, you can also head to Dolan Designs for some lighting ideas to go with your new furniture. *hee*
