Gosh, I really do get lost of time when I read books! I love reading and well, since I got this touch, cant help but read it all in my device. Last night or I actually slept early this morning at 4am( Feb 28) ! hehhe….

Woke up super duper late and cook a nice decent meal for myself before decided to update my Ipod page. I got my ipod as I have been saying on Thurs (Feb 26) and nearly gave up on how to download the books…. I dont want such a beautiful device user to go through the frustration I went through…

However I will need to study on another software called stanza. Buying books from fictionwise is more expensive than buying form sony ereader bookstore! I check the prices and fictionwise is far more expensive! Im looking at a book in sony, it cost about USD6+ (discounted) and in fictionwise, it cost around USD12+ with abit of discount!

Just too bad my touch cant read books from sony… i try to install but its not compatible. Too bad really.. Was going to buy this book bundle that I saw.. sigh… maybe next time…

Well, got to update the JLB wallpaper on my www.smalldynasty.com/blog site…. please do check that site out also…

Just few hours ago, I finish watching Love shack… i think that is the title hahha about this girl who is so crazy about the rock star and they happened to be shipwrecked.. but so happend, they are still on the other site of the resort! Gosh, I want to go to that resort.. looks amazing.. and the view!

Later on, will watch Enchanted again before I return the DVD to blockbuster… too bad I dont have those buttery popcorn.. sigh…. hmmm Im kind of hungry, I make myself cereal..

It’s almost Valentine and what better gift to give than from the heart right? So I suggested to my friend from grade school to make one for his girlfriend… and I don’t know how it happened but it seems that I’m making it for him! wahhhh His paying for the kit and I make it…Can’t believe how fast I got convinced! lol He told me he find my bear cute! ohhhh can’t resist helping him =D

It’s actually a challenge. It’s first time for him to pay for something that expensive even if its just the kit price. He never saw anything such as mohair in person and he want a kitty.. I suggest the Boots pattern but he want it to look like a Siamese cat?! hmmmm

I know Siamese cat are white base on the show I saw “Sagwa” in Disney but he said black?? I think his color blind but doesnt want to admit it lol… I also suggested I’m going to be making a special booklet for his girlfriend to make it extra special… sigh, I wish someone does this for me also and im the recepient instead! (hint!! if your reading this carl =p)

Last night I work until 1am doing the boots pattern as well as my website. In between waiting for the files to upload to the www, I was sewing the “secret project”. Looks like I got my hands full =D

From the image on the left ( photo & bear by Jenny Lee ~JLB) , I need it to look abit like the image on the right.

hmmmm…. gues what fabric was choosen? giggle… Brown! He was brown hahhahaaa… gosh, this is going to be one funny kitty hehehe..

Well I stop doing this project on the 10th because it did not look like a kitty but more like a cat.. after been rushing for so many things, i just cant help but sit back and read books on the ereader. I do enjoy reading and wish I have a Ereader but it seems the equipment is quit pricey….

I’ll post my version of boots here soon… hmmm i belive next week. Let me finish first Heart. I love this new bear Heart that i’m working on… she looks much better than before! =D

Feb 17,2009

Well, I not only finish doing the boots pattern for my friend Bo-Ram who I named “Kit” but also my Heart bear. Well, Kit did not look like a kitten for one… hmmmm I think I forgotten her tail! =P hehhee… Oki… time to give her a tail!

Time to hit the sack!

ipodWell, I finally did it! I got my own ipod touch =D

This decision took more than 6months because initially, I wanted an Sony PS-505 or e-reader device which cost USD299. I love reading books (English version please!) and living in Taiwan the prices does not come cheap. If not for the price concern, at times they don’t import that book! Imagine, im still waiting to get my hands on the story book feature in Harry Potter movie.

When I told my fiancee, he says go for the ipod touch but I know it has different reading experience with the ebook. So going back and forth for the past 6months (with me reading ebook over the computer, it really makes my eyes super dry and tired the next day), yesterday I finally bought it!

why so long? Ipod touch can play games, listen to music, watch movie, surf the net while the sony? well, just read books and play music.

What I love when I got it is the smell =D haha The brand new smell of ipod.. sigh… smells like the post-it when you just open a new one! This touch sure cost me because I was making long distance call to my fiancee and asking if I should get it or go for the HTC phone + pda. Of course, price is a big factor because I don’t have that much budget. Once decided, I called again to ask if I should go for the 8GB or the 16GB.. so finally settled on the 8GB.

Well, it took me the whole night going back and forth from www.fictionwise.com to finally got it going. I nearly give up because I use the wifi feature but can’t seem to download my books… I felt so stupid I did not figure it out in the first place, but glad I thought of it and kaching! (sound of cash register) it work!!!!

How did I get it work? Oh… please go to my Ipod page and I will write in details what I did… hope this will be a more user friendly than the one I read in fictionwise…

Heart

~ key to my heart ~

This is how I call my newest bear and she is up for adoption. I have finish her for some time but I never get to truly finish her and I never know why, maybe she was meant to be presented only now, in time for the month of love, the key to someone’s heart. I hope she find her way to your heart.

It was hard for me to decide how I want to finish Heart. I have this scarf which was suppose to be around her neck, but after some time, I felt this simple key fits just right around her neck. Very simple but pretty in her own way.

I have even make a personalized Certificate of Authencity for Heart out of my scrapbook paper collections which I cant bear to use, but I want my bears to be special so I use it anyway. She also comes with a signed authorization certificate from Ilze Linssen for selling this bear using her Patches pattern but with my touch =D

Enjoy!

Well I wasnt too happy with the shots of Heart here at home with not much sunshine since I get home usually at night. I’ll reshoot them tom at the rooftop of my office just hope they dont get blown away by the strong wind… if not, people might think someone wants to jump a building and call 911! If not, it would be embarrasing to collect my bear in the street hehehe… Wish me luck =p
