Weekend DIY Project: Camera "Box" Pouch?

I've been wanting to sew something but I tend to laze around and watch tv every other weekend too.  This week was different, I was motivated.  ;3 kana sama.

 
Since my current camera pouch (for the PNS camera looks fugly, gawd, sometimes I'm embarrassed by the looks of it that I decided to make one today).



Anyways, lets get started.  Tried to draft my pouch and try to imagine it as a box.  Could roughly see how my pouch gonna look like.  Phail.  Then, I took an A4 paper and try to fold it into what I think it should look like, quite successful in making it with paper.  And I'd referred some photos from Project by Jane, click here.  Written instruction seriously doesn't help.  I'm too lazy to read.  So, I decided to go with the flow and try to make it my own way.  Trial and error.

Aight, so first, I lay an A4 paper (I'd measured the camera for a rough estimation of how big the camera would be but an A4 paper worked), cut two (2) different cloth, in this case, the red hippo design that I bought online ;) (so cute) and for the inner layer, I'd use a blue polka dot cloth I bought from Kamdar (Kamdar is your friend).  And since I need protection for the camera, I'd added sponge.  Now, of course you can't forget the zipper.  7 inch ones is enough in this case.

Next, I'd cut the hippo printed cloth into two (2) cause I didn't want it to look like it went through a loop and look weird (of course if you have a single design you can skip all those cutting it into half part).  Sew the edges  and attach it to the zipper (shown as photos below).

It looked something like this.

Once I'm done with that, I took the blue polka dot cloth and sew the sponge together.  This is to prevent the sponge from moving around LOL. 

Then I attached it to the sewn hippo cloth, should look something like this (as shown below).

Done with this part.  Look, can make it as arm cover :) *giggles.

Last minute changes to the pouch, I add a strap holder.  I think it's easier to hold in this case.

It was tricky fixing it to the pouch.  Oh yeah, that ended my session with the sewing machine.  I hand sew the rest.  I was gonna sew it the way the tutorial had shown but it doesn't seem to work, lets just say after that whole arm cover thing, I had been sewing and taking it off coz my brain stop functioning at that time.  It was 2am btw.

I'd continue my sewing today after lunch.  And this time my mind was clear.  Had to took off the sewing I did the night before and started folding it.  It looked like a pencil case.  I'd ironed it, and folding it in so that it'll look neat.  In this case, I got tired and almost give up and it really shows in the way I sewn it.  *procrastinating.

Thank gawd, I finish one side, it should be folded like this.

Once done, I fold it in a triangle shape and attach it to the outer layer. and cover it up.

I did the same for the other end.

FINALLY!!! I finished it! ;)

And this is the final product.  Cute no? ;)

Hang it.

I'm very satisfied but I need to sew the other side just in case.  Soon.

Till then.  Happy weekend and thanks for reading ;)

The Chicken Incident

For those who knew about this (refresh memory), I plurk-ed about this last 26th October 2009.

Lets start from the beginning.

On 26th October 2009, I received an sms from my sis about how her colleague found a slaughtered half dead chicken (with blood on the floor) at the entrance of their office.  Didn't know what to do, they called the police and reported the incident.  The police came slightly after and found footage for the incident caught on a cctv from the shop next door.

From wut I heard from my sis, lemme see if I could remember the story correctly.  The police and the colleague watch the recorded video saw an old car "cruising" around the parking lot till on the third (3rd) round, they pulled over.  A man came out of the car, look around, slaughtered the poor chicken and threw it into the main entrance of the office and left.  Now what that fellow didn't know, the cctv was just right on top of his head (I lol-ed hard when I hear this part).  Funny idiot.  Too bad I didn't manage to get the footage, it'd be listed as "retard caught on camera in Sabah".

But, uh oh, this is fun.  I got photos of the half dead chicken :) hehehe.  I'll just post 3 of them, so....

Read em warnings before clicking em aight..

Not suitable for the "weak".

I'M SERIOUS!

Click at your own risk!

Poor chicken, still alive when they found em.  Oh yeah, my sis said when the police came, the chicken was still standing looking straight at em.  LOL.  Farnie.

Hmm, what puzzles is nobody from that company knows why the culprit did this.  Hmm.  Is this a ritual to perform a curse?  No idea.  But it's seriously farnie.

Till my next post.  Sorry if I spoiled anyone's appetite. 

Chicken for dinner? Any takers?

Oh and I'm not sure if they caught the culprit yet.

I sucked at telling stories LOL.

Sabahan Bloggers Gathering 2009

Lets start off with my morning.  Went breakfast with my bro at Kedai Kopi Janggut coz both of us were craving for Fish Mee and fried foo chuk.

Went home and watch tv.  Lets just say that I was contemplating and complaining about how I didn't wanna go.  I think it's the bad weather.  And since it was my first time putting on wig for few hours, I was trying em out since 2pm.  Lets just say that my bro, cube, had to listen to me whining all day long.  In the end I settled for my blonde wig.

Oh, to add to that whole complaining whole day thinggie, I also had problems deciding which camera to bring.  I end up having both my PNS and DSLR with me.  But guess what?  I didn't use my DSLR, it was left sleeping in the bag whole night LOL.

I've psych myself out that I must keep it on whole night.  Lets just say that I was expecting aircond.  Followed cube's car coz I was too lazy to drive.  We were there around 6pm and my bro and the others were getting ready at the parking lot.  A car parked next to us and this family asked if they could take photo with my brother and dori.

By 6:30pm, we went up to the 10th floor.  Here's the funny part, we went up till 8th floor, and went back down to 3rd.  Yeah, coz most of us can't remember the details.  I just remember that registration at 6:30pm and event at the rooftop.  Was in the lift with Joan but I didn't know it was her till we were inside.

SBG this year's decoration was awesome.  Lets just say it was dark. 

Met Lorna and Margaret.  These two (2) sure did lotsa mingling that nite ;)

Took photos, I won't say tons of em but enuff for my blog.

More photos, here.

Fewd.  There's more than this being served I mean.

Can't remember wut were the names but lets just say that when the after effects kicks in, it's not farnie.  Oh and what's up with that night?  Sure lotsa broken plates/glasses going on.  I keep reminding my bro not to take off his shoe.

look at all that sweat

Oh and I was screaming for help coz it was so hot (this started the headache).  Why?  The fan weren't turned on.  Try to imagine how'd my bro feel in his werewolf costume?  He was sweating.  I mean serious sweating going on there.  Thank gawd Dino came to the rescue!  Thanks a bunch dood!  Oh and the sad part was, he didn't get to get his fewd till everyone get theirs coz moving around in his 4 to 5 inch shoe is a bit hard.  Me and his Irene were all paranoid when he got up the stairs with it.

I think there's something wrong with the sound system.  Sometimes it's too loud, sometimes I can't hear clearly.  Like during Roger Wang's performance, it was too loud that it sound annoying at times.  I was disappointed that during Sasuka's performance, I couldn't hear shite =_=""".  Maybe I turned deaf  for a moment there.  Hmmm just maybe.

Don't get me started with the numbers of camera flashes flashing.  Eyes were badly affected.  @_@"""  One could seriously vomit blood.  

Here's the nomination for best costume voted by the crowd.  Throat got all sore from all the screaming.

My bro won the PS2 with guitar.  Etto~ but where is the game ah? (totally killed the excitement, thought wanna play when reach home but no game, can't play)  Two (2) ps2 at home now.  LOL.  Alar I want a Wii.  Anybody wanna sponsor Wii? XD

Here's my bro's costume that he worked on for a month, click here.  Glue failed on him.  I think it's all the sweat LOL.  He should have sewn it ;)

Some CSP randomness.

MOE~

Oh yeah, I know there's a cake cutting ceremony but where's the cake?!  @_@"""

What I missed out on?  Getting know some of the bloggers.  I know the MC asked us to mingle, but I think I only talk to CSPians (around 30++ members) mostly and some of the bloggers that I know.  The others, I dunno ;_; I'm a bit sad that I didn't get to know some of them that nite.  I can't simply leave my bag u see, and I don't wanna leave it lying around unattended.  @_@"""

Aight enuff of that.  I don't remember what time the event ended but I know there were lotsa waiting at the parking lot and we went to yamchar at BK Putatan coz cube got really hungry.  I had blackcurrant and I think I yapped a lot again coz I got a terrible headache.  Yes, I yap to release stress.

Sorry cube for having to put up with my yapping whole day LOL.  See, when I'm having second thoughts on something, dun make me do things I don't want.  It's damaging.

The Aftermath

Need to wash wig.  That whole sweating urgh =_= disgusted.

Cube's leftovers LOL

The balcony is his friend.  Oi clean this mess!

And the 4 inch shoe LOL. 

Well at least his a month effort paid off.  Congrats again cube.  Oh and congrats to everyone else who won that nite too.

Uh oh, last but not least, Happy birthday PapaJPP XD

That's it.  I think I shouldn't blog when I'm stressed. Fuuu~~~ must make headache go away urgh  I yap too much lately.  orz.  Dangdut techno is not helping.  I think that wedding gonna go on whole nite.

Perro Loco

Sorry took me awhile to blog.  I'm still having problems with the computer at work.  It's too frigging slow.  There's lotsa things I can't do with that computer.  So, I'm requesting a new one.  A faster one.  I also need one for myself at home.  But, yes there's always a but to everything, money, I spent a lil too much on nendoroids.  *cough cough.

Aight, lets focus on what I'm about to blog today.

Perro Loco, a new place located at Star City North (formerly known as Kompleks Asia City) ground floor.  It's actually facing Chung Hwa school.  This place sells South American hot dogs!  Ogie, maybe not just hot dogs but most of them are.  I've actually blogged about the fewds in my previous posts (here), but didn't make any intro wutsoever yet.

This place officially open a month ago.  I missed out during the opening coz uncle *roll eyes, invited me at the very last minute and being sleepy at that time, I couldn't give an answer, hence said I can't make it.  LOL.

But, since the past month, I've been going there, I won't say often but enough to try five (5) different fewd.  Oh yeah, the owner of this place is uncle's sister and her husband.

The menu

These are what I had today.

Beef and chicken tacos ;)

Chorillana, this is awesome!

Aight, this post is done. Mouth watering enuff?

Updates: 1 week

Ogie, here's the situation.  The computer at work been having some problems that I couldn't access my blogger and gmail.  Wait, I can view but I can't comment or post anything.  Weirdness. 

I've been wondering why 4mbps line is uber slow?  *confused.  Pay so much but it's worst than 1mbps.  How odd.

On another note, nothing much happen, except the fact that I did a lot of driving this past week.  I mean seriously a lot that I'm getting tired from it.  It must be the U-turn! (*blames) and the fewd! (*more blaming).

*takes a deep breath.



I'm back on my jogging routine.  Must push myself coz friend said I look fat.  Bad! Very bad. 

Oh, I went to meet an ex colleague today.  It's been months since we hang out.  Oh and I got my first McD glass thinggie.  Of coz I had to take blue ;)  Besides, it's free.  One can't reject free fewd now could we?

Went and bought some scented candles.  And these (for the candles), *blames fren for impulse buying. 

These are way too cute.  Must have.

I've manage to arrange some of my PVC collectibles.

Nendoroids (I took the images from Hobby Search and combined it.)

This is roughly what I have, what I will have and what I want to have.

Pinky Street (I took everything from scratch (in other words, THE PHOTOS ARE MINE!!!), these are my personal collection, opening each and every one of em is a bit challenging and I had to turn off the aircond coz of the wind blowing directly at the figure.)

And some of these pinky street figures can't stand, the new ones are great btw.  Those can stand easily.

*puh~ that's it.

I wanna take a break from people, yes again.  I can't seem to get out this phase.  =_="  Help!

New office

I have a reason for neglecting my blog.  I moved to a new office.  I call it the deserted office.  Parking was way easier than my previous office, so not a problem there.  Though, massy have other problems with new office as follows; 

1. It usually takes me 30 minutes (with traffic) to my previous office, getting to the new office maybe requires more time, maybe not, though I'm hating the U-turn.  Too much turning = very troublesome.
2. I pick my sis up after work from Monday to Friday.  From my current office to her office is another problem.  I had to either make 1 big turn to get there or go through the U-turn under the flyover *sigh.
3. Parking is not a problem at the new office.  Basement parking is very empty, I sort of got lost going to my block parking, hence lotsa illegal turns there.
4. TM people suck! They fixed our telephone line and the internet but internet went down after awhile.  4mbps my arse!  And three (3) of the workstation network socket is not working.  FOOLS!!!
5. TM people ffked (fong fei kei) last Friday.  Told us he'll come back at 1pm but didn't come back at all.  Idiot!
6. I'm in a cubicle.  Limited space available.  And at times, I can't feel the aircond.  And my cubicle is facing the counter.  We don't have receptionist but cleaner lady is at the counter, when she's not there, I'd be the one pressing remote controls for people to come in.  I don't like to be in front desk.  Seriously, that is one of those things that I prefer to avoid.  Been trying to make my chair go as low as I can.  (I took this weird phobia test at facebook, and the result is true.  I fear people/crowds.  I dislike meeting strangers, 'nuff said).
7. I insisted that the main door be kept close at all times.  It's bad enuff I'm facing the door.  *sigh.  Lets just say that retards designed that office.  Bad color.  Why can't the office be more like google office huh?
8. Don't get me started talking about the toilets, good thing about it, there's two (2) toilets.  Bad thing, cheap toilet bowls (according to my colleague) and retarded contractor don't know how to make it equal.  One is smaller than the other.  My colleagues insisted to take the small one coz they wanna avoid visitors hearing noise coming from the toilet.  I find this amusing.
9. Pantry is before the toilet.  Ogie here's the funny part, we always missed it.  Walk pass it.  

Enough complains for today.  I hope dumb TM people will fix my internet line.  I can't make any changes to the website if I don't have my line can I?

Anyways, last Friday, finally went to Perro Loco and tried Double Barrel.  Order got mixed up, I wanted to try Mafia ;_;

Combo set meal at RM6.90 served with fries and soft drink.

My brother love the Double Barrel.  I'm not such a fan, sorry uncle ;_; I is no rike onions @_@"""

Though, next time wanna try something spicy ;)

Till my next post/rant ;)

I applaud to this

First of all, blogger draft layout went all crazy last nite.

And before I blog as the title, I'm gonna "detour" to this.

Tea! Berries ;3 me rove (love) berries.  My colleague gave me this.  It looks like ribena.  It taste like roselle.  But the smell, not farnie.  I think they should scent it a bit so it'll be easier to drink.  I didn't add sugar.  I like the original taste ;)

Aight, the moment that you've been waiting for.

This might be a common sight to see everywhere when a car breaks down rite.

What's kewl about this situation right here is ...

It sure got me excited till I had to tell my sis to take photo of it for me to blog LOL.

This is the first time I ever came across this kind of message ;)  I think it's kewl~


And yeah, that's about it.

Gonna move to a new office today, finally!  I hope can get everything done by today.  Going back and forth from the current to the new office is not farnie, it's not that far but the U-turn is not farnie.

Over and out.
