Blogger Blog Thumbnail

- My BLOG's Thumbnail -

Okay , I had been revising websites left and right until I just realized that my own Blogger Blog has no thumbnail image. How could that have happened ? Well, I'd been so engrossed with my ranking site & Twitter lately. Most of my time had been spent there and my poor Blog got missed on the side somehow.

Lucky I was checking my URLs when I noticed that only my Blogsite has no specific thubnail. But now no worries, I made one as fast as I can. Took me maybe 3 mins to do it. Wow, I made another accomplishment for my site. Now I'm happy I can already upload a thumbnail of my own Blog in my other online sites !

Another Job well Done !

TOP100 Beader's Hub Online = REVISED !!!

TOP100 BEADER'S HUB ONLINE

It's been 2 long days and very late nights that I had been revising the ranking site ( of course in-between my tweets in Twitter / personal errands & other distractions from friends wanting to go for a ladies only night out ) . I'm satisfied with a big smile for the way the site looks now after some few lost falling hairs ( I'd been scratching my head and from time to time grabbed my hair when I discover that I made incorrect HTML codes ... Oh no ! Not again ! )

Perhaps .. My Poor Hair would never regain it's glorious days anymore ... oh my !

I had uploaded the scrolling image which I really thought was cool ! Showcasing the Registered Site Member's Special creations in an eye-grabbing way ... that's what I think so, don't you ? I just love this scrolling image thing ! Mind you, it took me quite a while to put all the data needed in their respective places . Browsing endlessly for photos from the Member's websites / blogs . So much beautiful creations I had discovered ... Wow my eyes were rolling all over the place . necklaces, earrings, bracelets ... millions of them. Need to have my reading glasses on or else I'll end up cross eyed!

After selecting real nice photos ( lucky there's a limit allowed of only 10 photos or else i'll be uploading forever ! ) , I uploaded & organized them in an album ... and then resized each of them , got the particular item's URL code from the said album, uploaded them one by one into the scrolling thing and finally ... voila !

Ranking site looks far much better than before ... What else can I say ? Yahooooo !!!

" HAPPY FATHER'S Day "

0 comments Posted by My-SECRET-Corner at 2:04 PM

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY ...

Yesterday was Father's day here in Singapore. Just not quite sure if same event was celebrated at the same time in US territories and in European countries. But anyway just didn't matter 'coz I already had wished every father in the world the very best on their special day.

In our household , " Father's Day " started with hubby missing in the house when kids & I woke up. Oh well, it's Sunday and it's a normal scenario . He had ridden his new bike ( Triumph 2300cc ) to Malaysia again with his biker buddies. He'd been riding his bikes ( of course 1 Harley at a time ) almost every Sunday morning eating Prata for breakfast in Malaysia . So just need to explain to the kids yesterday that Daddy is having fun for his Father's Day which falls on every " Sunday " of any week and they looked at me like they were confused ... huh ?

For his Father's Day present, Tacha & I rushed to the shop while he's gone and after dropping Tristan off to a Birthday party in the Dutch Club . Quickly bought a Backpack which he can use for all his stuffs when he rides the bike. We got it and wheww ! What a relief coz he was already back in Singapore that very moment , looking for us at home and calling my handphone . While on the other hand I was paying for the bag and rushing the cashier to make it fast. Oh dear !

Lesson learned ? Better get the present days in advance so I can relax and just wait for hubby to come and give him his present with a smile. Next time I would surely will !

Creative Talent ...

* DRAWING AS A HOBBY *

My 21 y/o son, Meier has the talent in drawing animated objects & scenes.

I discovered his artistic creations when he was about 9 years old drawing transformer robots in his school notebooks. He's a very quiet guy keeping to himself all the time compared to her older sister Barbie who enjoys life outside our house.

Nowadays, he draws more about anime using colored pencils but still loves the robot styles like those of Gundam ( He has a collection of those DIY robotic figures ) At his age now, I tease him how come he still plays with all those things . He just smiles at me !

Swarovski Beaded Tiara

Hand Beaded Tiara created from a finished Swarovski studded Necklace .

। had the necklace converted into a crown by wiring it to an old metal crown which had been sitting in Tacha's closet for few years now. I had added some Swarovski Baroque & Teardrop Beads on the top for more sparkles। The Wiring process Took me at least 1 hr to have the crown finished। I also had a pair of Beaded earrings with Polymer Clay Beads & Capiz Shells matched to her outfit.

Tacha looked great with the Crystal Tiara and Beaded Earrings during the parade!

What did I get for Mother's Day ?

Ok, today is MOTHER'S DAY ! All mothers deserve to be pampered on this special day somewhere , somehow. Lucky me I'm a mother so I got great gifts from my family . My son Tristan greeted me Happy Mother's day with a hug and a kiss as soon as he woke up & gave me his homemade card with rubber foam cut outs with a heart accent and some money ( he owed me from days ago ... ) in an envelope this morning . My daughter Tacha said she 's sharing a gift with Daddy & she gave me some money as well plus a very nice card she had made herself too in the early evening which she had laid down on my bed . My dear hubby on the other hand gave me a kiss too and greeted me Happy Mother's day as soon as i started waking up this morning ! Later on , he asked me to give him a wrapping paper 'coz he wanted to wrap his present before he hands it to me but I said, no need to wrap it ... too late ! So he together with the kids handed me the plastic bag with a box inside. Guess what''s inside the bulky box ? A nice HP 10.4-inch df1000 Series Digital Picture Frame ! Wow, it's good for my family photos and other stuffs ... especially for my jewelries I can now put on display during bazaars ! Good thinking ... I immediately inserted a memory card to check how my pics would look like ... it's very nice indeed !

After all these nice gifts I received , I still got treated to a nice Champagne Brunch at the Sentosa Resort & Botanical Spa. There, I ate my favorite Foie Gras , Fresh Oyters , Steamed Prawns, Cheese +++++ and my kids even made a cake at the kids club ! But of course, I didn't drink any alcohol coz I'll be driving everyone safely home .

In the end , my Mother's Day was very special despite of the bombarding headache I had been suffering from the moment I woke up this morning until the time I was writing this blog.
