Photoes! Photos!
Craft, Life, Photos, World October 1st, 2006
First up, some housekeeping. Spin has been updated after months of neglect. Enjoy downloading stuff. I’ve added a new page (finally!) to the “About” section, just something I wrote at work about what I envision to be my home when one day move out. I hope to update the other sections more later.
Now to the content of this post! I cleared the photos out from my phone in a desperate, last-minute bout of procrastinating from impending essays that need to be written, and here’s a few worth talking about. These are all taken from my crappy camera phone as I don’t have a digital camera, so excuse the crappy quality.
For some reason I already found these two uploaded, so I’m not sure whether I’ve talked about them or not… well anyway the is an “origami tower” I folded a few months ago. It now houses my beads and beading wires/threads. I have the pdf somewhere on my computer, I’ll upload that when I find it. Useful to store small, light things.
I call this my Patch o’ Progress, aka what I’ve been doing to practice my stitches. You can see the progession from single sitches on the bottom to doubles at the top. Lots of missing stitches as I fumbled along, but it’s better now. My mum says that I should stop wasting yarn and just get on with making something useful so it seems to be the end for PoP. =/
This was my WTF of the day on 25th May this year. I was at the shopping centre and I saw this Asian lady sitting with a trolley with only a big sign saying “Say NO to Communism” on it. O_o
The last photo is kinda gross so I put it behind a cut. I’m currently in a huge amount of pain cos of an ulcer I have on the inner part of my lip, thanks a lot, braces! >:( I’ve got a picture to prove it and everything!
Told you it’s gross and it hurts about 5 times more than it looks. >_< I must’ve got it cut on the braces and it got infected into an ulcer (the added stress from two essays, for psychology and law, UNWRITTEN and due in two days doesn’t help). My mum says it’s cos I have too much “hot air” in my system and so need to drink more tea. I think it’s cos I have KILLER BACTERIA in my mouth. =/ It’s so much agony when brushing one’s teeth and eating. I’ve sprayed anti-inflammatory stuff on it already, I wish it’ll go away soon. :’(

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
GYAH! *jumps behind a couch in fear* What IS that thing?! Damn, I’m lucky I never got ulcers! What a bummer man, sorry to hear about it (and see it too *shudder*). Are you using heaps of wax on your braces so it doesn’t irritate it further?
Nice organmi boxes…real pretty paper too.
And I think communism has gotten a bad rap over the years. You should’ve walked over to the trolley, grabbed the sign, ripped it up and shouted at them, “IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO GIVE CHINA A BAD NAME!” Assuming they were Chinese that is ;P Ohh I ate too much.
To Raj: I get ulcers all the time (hot air? DEADLY BACTERIA?) though this is the first time I got it only lip. I usually don’t use wax (I keep accidently eating the stuff when it’s meal times) but I have been the last day or so to try to minimise the searing pain of sharp metal poking in open sore.
I got the paper back when I went to Japan! I only got a few sheets left, real precious stuff.
xD I should have also yelled something like “TRAITOR!” at her. She couldn’ve been Chinese. But why at MQ Centre? There was no protest, only that sign… in a trolley. Oh mysteries.
Gah! I have a braces ulcer too! And it’s like…exactly where yours is! Gah! Yours looks extra nasty though, mine’s not even half the size of yours…
I had braces for two seemingly long years. Everytime they tightened the brackets, I either refused to open my mouth or just kept bumping my teeth in hopes that the pain would make my nerves go temporarily numb. XP Never had an ulcer close to the size of yours though… O.O My mom always told me to rub it with salt or swish salt water in my mouth. Since rubbing anything on it was out of the question, I swished salt water. Hurt like hell. >
Ow, dude, that looks really painful.
That sign is pretty fantastic. I need me one of those. It’s so random.
LOL at the woman and cart!
Yeech, I used to get those ulcers all the time when I had braces! My retainers occasionally remind of the hell I went through with those things. x_X Hope you get better!
Holy shizen that ulcer looks painful! I’m afraid to imagine what the one in my stomach looks like… harhar. I like the say no to communism sign that woman had. Gives me a few ideas on what to do next time I’m at the mall and bored out of my mind XD
I hope that ulcer goes away and you feel better. It looks like it hurts all kinds.
It was a totally stupid idea. It’s really not hard to realise that the fault doesn’t go to Communism itself. Anyway, she probably thought it was cool?
Sorry about the infection. It does look terrible, go to the doctor and see what he has to say!
THAT BIG? Well I use salt to get rid of ulcers, don’t know if it works for you and the best one are those extracted from the hills. The hill salt hurts more than normal salt that you use to cook. Hope it works for you.
O__O Shit, that is huge. Take a lot of vitamin A and E, they’re supposed to help. Also, my family uses this green powder spray-on thing that makes it go away really quickly. I think if you break open a vitamin tablet it should work too. You should get your braces checked by a second orthadontist though. Mine ruined my molars when I had braces, so a second opinion on whether or not your guy is a pile of crock might be a good idea.
If your mom says you’re too Hot, then you can also have greentea stuffs (soup, icecream), watermelon, and other deliciousness besides just tea.
And Communist got a bad rap, yeah… but think about it realistically… it can’t ever work. People are not going to work knowing that there are other people just coasting on their efforts. I sure as hell wouldn’t. That’s like being perpetually stuck in a group where your partners do nothing and you do all the work because your professor gives you all the same grade — you might pull it off the first few times, but after a while you’d lash out. There’s nothing un-Chinese about not agreeing with Communism.
your ulcer looks so big and sore :( i hope it gets better soon!
OMG! That is seriously like a monster ulcer from out of space of something! SCARY! Hope it goes away soon…
And that’s such a pretty box. I think me wants :P
That origami tower looks pretty nifty. If you posted the pdf, I’d definitely try to build it. But that ulcer looks a lot less nifty. I hope it goes away soon, it looks like it feels awful!
I LOVE the origami tower! The patterns are gorgeous. (Love the colours.) As for the sign, well, that’s just interesting to say the least. :)
I really hope you’re feeling better now. That looks AND SOUNDS so painful. :(
i have braces too!! I GRR I HATE IT! I have so many cuts in my mouth T.T the metal is slowly cutting away my flesh! lol.!
Youch, I hope it goes away too. I hate ulcers. They hurt but that just looks like it KILLS. My mouth is stinging just looking at at. I use salt water to get rid of mine but mine are never that bad :(
O.O
Oh-kay…haha well i didn’tknwo you could get ulcer in your mouth…i don’t even thinki know what ulcer means….anyways good luck with that. I’ve have a few of those too they’re called “singaw” in my countries language and you get them if you experience too much heat or something and my country is really hot so people get them often but not alot so i hope it goes away for you soon haha trust me it hurts way more with retainers
What’s up with that lady and comminism ? lolz funny indeed.
and eeeek to that ulcer… and then they say braces should HELP people!!!
I think the Quality of the pictures is great, mine look so much more crappy, really. I think my mobile has about 0.3 megapixel or such *lol* The lady with the sign is especially nice - and the ulcer looks like A LOT of pain. Ouch!
That trolley pic made me laugh :P That ulcer looks so sore =o I have total sympathy for you lol
That box is so awesome (the one in the top pic) It’s very purdy =)
Oh wow.. I can only imagine how painful that must be. I hope you get better doll :]
The origami tower looks funky! Girly, but funky ;) That’s all paper? No cardboard? Btw, oh my god, that asian lady with that trolly is freaking funny. Too bad the photo is bad quality. Time to ask a digital camera for your birthday huh? ;)
That ulcer looks very unhealthy. How to get rid of it? No clue. Hope it goes away fast though.
Ugh I hate ulcers :( But I do love your origami tower. I’ve always wanted to do one but I never have quality paper or time to try one. Say no to communism just became my new catchphrase :D
