My hand made coin purse

Look at this! This is the first coin purse that I made in a leather workshop tonight.

It looks complicated but it's easily made if you follow a few steps given by the instructor and have the right tools.

My instructor helped me to make some alternation as I cut the leather a bit short. It is a truly lovely gift for the mother's day!

Book reading

I resumed to read a novel a month ago when my sleep got better. Reading books make me feel alive because that means I have the energy to do something other than work and cooking. It's the thickest novel that I've ever read. The book is called "The other side of the story" by Marian Keyes. It's about love stories and the book business, specially catered for women readers. I wonder whether female writers usually write books for women only. I was excited when I was reading half way though there were over 300 pages to go. But when I got closer to 500 pages, I was almost addicted to it and wanted to finish it right away. I felt a bit down when I finished that despite there was a feeling of achievement of reading the whole book. Now, I'm ready to emerge into another book journey but I just need to find another good book.

Ups & downs in a week

I thought it's my luck to see the batman flight flying above the harbour yesterday. It's a plane white airplane which you couldn't spot it's the one if you're not told. I saw it twice, it flew lower the second time when I was riding on a boat. Seeing a plane flying that low in an area full of tall buildings was amazing. Today I received a sad phone call from my brother about my mom. She broke her elbow and wrist that needs surgery. Luckily it happened my friend work in the orthopaedic ward in that hospital and updated me how she's doing. I was a bit scared and uneasy hearing the news and tried to control my emotion. I never thought I would have been so worried about my mom. But after all, she's my mom. It came to a time my parents get older and I have to prepare myself to hear any bad news. It's hard but I know I need to be more prepared. That's all. Hope for the best.

Natural Therapy - Cold

There was headline news about some cough syrup having some substance that can make ones having huccination. It is strongly advised not to give such medicine to small children. So I sat in a doctor interview when a reporter was trying to do a follow-up story. An interesting interview! I learnt to realise that most of the medicine don't quite help with most of the cold but just relieve the symptoms. Therefore, I decided to take a "natural therapy" against the cold that I just went through, that is, to drink plenty of water, to have vitamin C droplets and have warm honey water so as to make my throat feeling better. Of course, it takes time to heal no matter you takes medicine or not. Believe me, it's not a good experience. But I felt that I had too many pills these days and having too many medicine won't do me any good. While I was having a chat with one of my colleagues about medicine and drugs, she suddenly came up with an interesting ideas, "won't antibi...
