Hello to May 2020 ...

What's New For May ? 





May 8, 2020 ~ The lockdowns all over the world had impacted so much of our lives in ways unimaginable. Affected so  hard that most if not all were stucked in all the corners of their homes. Some continued their works and careers online ( lucky ones ) while others were left jobless 😣 and worried of what would be coming next with regards to the pandemic. Covid19 had wrecked and brought extreme havoc among the rich and poor levels. But most are suffering now from hunger due to scarcity of food resources due to lack of jobs ( no work no pay sadly 😣😣😣) , lack of accessmto basic resources due to border lockdowns , very scarce to nothing food supply and being away from families sinking them into deeper depression for feeling all alone and even worst ... neglected involuntarily . Most especially when they fall sick leaving the vulnerable family behind. Even worst was death in total loneliness all by yourself with no family allowed to visit or even say goodbye at least during your very last breath . It is so very sad ... my heart is breaking for those who had lost their love ones and were never able to see them at all due to travel restrictions. 

I would say I am lucky ... I feel very lucky where I was during the lockdown. Singapore is so advance among other asian nations when it comes to healthcare. Covid19 was immediately detected and being controlled. The infection in the community is by far resulting to a very small number of deaths compared to other nations like Europe. People here in Singapore are disciplined and only very few had tried to do their own ways during the quarantine.  The laws here were very strict and whoever gets caught not following the rules were persecuted accordingly. Staying home, social distancing, wearing of masks was and until now mandatory. Which is good to control the spread of the virus. The government also help their citizens by extending financial aids to all Singaporeans. Badluck I am not a citizen here but an expatriate so I got no financial  help. Aaawwwwww .... 🙁☹😞

Well, anyways I have no problem  with staying home 24/7 at all. I am happy to be just at home doing house chores, painting, beading or just attending to everyday house rohtines. Going out once every week to buy food supplies was in fact good enough for me too. 

A lot of people were complaining they were bored at home. I would say I was not even a bit bored at all. I have the company of my family ( who never stops from giving me things to do like cooking, cleaning, blah blah blah 😂🤣😅.  After all these years with them I am already used to doing almost everything... I am wonder woman lol !

But of course despite of everything I do at home, I always find time to do what I enjoy doing. 😁During the quarantine days, I was able to create alot of bracelets and other jewelries.
.😍 My ebay was able to come back to life with new items listed in it.

Bad Hair Day ?





April 30,2020 ~ No matter how bad the situation is nowadays due to the worldwide spreading of Covid 19, I am peaceful and quiet at home doing my own sruffs.  I don't go out partying, no meetings with friends and no going to my hairdresser too. My greys had grown so long now that my head had turned multi colored in Brown, Grey and Mahogany during daylight. Highlights galore !





 Geezzz... looked aweful ha ha !😂😄😅
I just told myself over and over that I am not the only one suffering from lack of spoiling from a hair salon. For me  it wasn't such a big deal coz I can always stay in my room all day and noone would ever see me anyways . LOL !

I just normally make a retreat into my beadroom and create more jewelries inorder not to be bothered much of my poor looking hair. Although I would say I was even starting to like the way my hair looked these days. Kind of  cool... lol. 

Anyways, I  had been doing a lot of wire wrapping so I can use my non tarnish artistic beading wires hidden in my drawers . My fingers hurt when I twisted the wires due to my arthritis
Getting old  sucks sometimes ... the more we age, the more ptoblems arise here and there,
oh well. 

😆😆😆

Be Safe Everyone !




April 14, 2020 ~ Kind of depressing that most of us were stucked indoors during this hard time of Covid 19 spreading all over the world. immediate lockdowns were enforced and we cannot go out normally without fear unlike before. Some with children at home were struggling to cope while some were separated from loved ones due to travel restrictions. It was chaos for the poor people with no means to sustain their daily lives  when no work no pay was their way of living everyday.









 Lucky are those with white collar jobs who were blessed enough to work from home with their loved one with them at home.  At least they could still keep their jobs, salaries and benefits compared to those who lost their jobs. They can also enjoy the feeling of being safe at home enjoying the views and bonding with their pets too ( I do , 😍😍😍 )

I am a homemaker and I only go out if I need to buy provisions. But being forever at home during this lockdown also affected my way of life. lucky I got arts to do at home once I get tired of doing house chores.  I had learned to create things to kill time as it passes by since I was a child. So coping with being at home is not that hard for me since I was used to it anyways.










I had the means to entertain myself even without the help of media tools. Beading & painting or sewing / crocheting  , bonding with son & pets were good means of keeping my sanity these days. I hope some people out there could find some hobbies as well to distract them from sadness, boredom and insanity caused by the pandemic. 

I wish everyone to be safe from the sickness.
Please stay home and be safe !

🙏🙏🙏

Stay Home... Get Organized !






April 1, 2020 ~ It's now been 2 weeks since the quarantine took effect and I became busier than ever having everyone at home. Cooking day and night and all house chores had doubled without any single help from everyone. Only consolation I had was when I could retreat into my beadroom for some much needed unwinding and rest... at last !


My  beadroom urgently required a much needed overhaul. My beads and findings had now mixed in their respective drawers and boxes so I needed to sort them all out . 
Not an easy task but it was about time for me to start organizing them all  into their respective containers and boxes.


My beads needed to be arranged accdg to color, size and type. 





Same system for my metal findings too.  

My eyes were stressed out coz I needed to separate all sizes of stones & seed beads scattered in my drawers & beading trays too. What a mess !




 Can you imagine separating the size 15/0 seedbeads  which were super tiny from the others?  Haizzzzz a lot of work indeed.








Beads were categorized  from semi-precious , glass, crystals and metals. All my pearl beads were neatly packed in new ziploc bags  finally too. I was happy with the outcome after about a week of sorting them all out during the night when  everyone was fast asleep except for me. I was like a vampire awake at night sorting out my stuffs. 






But I would say all the sleepless nights of sorting out had paid off. I found so many missing beads  that got underneath the stacks and discovered the unopened new packs. I also now could finally see all my drawers filled up by my organized beads and findings.
I am again a Happy Beader soon !

😁😁😁
