Before You Are A Star

The journal reads:
Before You Are A Star
You'll go thru an identity crisis.
Searching for who you are, what you are and where you are heading to.
But no matter what happens, before you are a star,
you are 1st and foremost MY SON.

Me & My Bike

This is another version of "My Knight in Shining Armour" LO. This is my 1st plenty-of-space LO which I am very ok with. O'wise u'll see me trying to squeeze in as many embellishments into the space as possible. Kekekekek!!!!

EDITED TO ADD: The more I see this LO, the better it gets. In the way tat it is better than I expect. Esp in the way the pics make the LO. It's supposed to be another version of "My Knight in Shining Armour". But with the word-stamp "Adventure", the LO had changed to just tat "Adventure" On top of tat, ds' expression mimick tat of a mountain biker. LOL!!!!!

The 2 Women in My Life

Story behind the layout: Self-explanatory

In Loving Memory

Name: Max

Breed: Maltese

Gender: Male

5 May 1996 - 15 Aug 1999

Story behind this layout:
This was my 1st pet maltese - Max. He died young at age 3 when he had gotten food poisoning at my ex's niece's place. And he died a miserable death. *sob sob*

He had a sweet temperament. But when his toilet-training went hey-wire & we had to resort to stringent discipline, his whole personality went heywire too. He became real aggressive, real defensive.

His death was my biggest regret. *sob sob*

Genius at Work

The quote at the top left:
This is my workstation
Where I work my PlayStation
This is my position
Where I position my strategy

There're lots of mistakes for this LO. But I'm still ok with it. Kekekekek!!!

Rock-A-Bye-Baby

Story behind the layout: Self-explanatory

Addicted

Story behind this layout:
To be frank, Jnr was never addicted to GAMEBOY to the extent of playing with it every spare minute & second of his time. Just tat he loooked so dazed & stoned in the pic that the word "addiction" just popped into my mind whenever I see this pic ... kekekekeke

This pic was taken when Jnr was 5yo.

Baby Face

Story behind the layout: Self-explanatory

The Sun, The Sand & The Sea

Story behind the layout:
This was done for the forum's Scrapbooking Challenge #2 - No Person/People LO. As I was cracking my head over the LO for this particular theme, this challenge comes in the nick of time. Cos the pics taken w/Jnr in it looks weird thus it's kinda difficult to use them. But with this challenge, I can do w/o them. Just use the scenery/objects will do.

This trip to Sentosa was Jnr's 1st. It's not only his trip to Sentosa but also his 1st trip to the sea/beach.

Mother-Son Thingy

Story behind the layout:
Actually my intention was to show the repetition in the pics. Thus I came up with the chinese title which meant "Travel Back in Time" for the top right and "History Repeats Itself" for the bottom left. But my mum said tat "Mother & Son" wud be more appropriate.

After much tot, I decided to listen to her. Then I wanted to have the chinese words tat meant "Like Mother Like Son". But I dunno the words *chessy grin* and it's getting late. So I simplified it to be "Mother-Son Relationship"

Tooth Fairy Part 2

I created another layout for "Tooth Fairy" by specifically using the whole kit itself. I wanted to see how it looks like. Unfortunately, it doesn't turn to be what I'm expected. Or maybe the color is dull thus it doesn't look nice.

Then I've added a journal to it too.

Serves Me Right

Story behind the layout:
Self-explanatory ... kekekekek

Again, this is for the Scraplifting Challenge #2.

My Fav Person

Story behind the layout:
This pic was taken in Aug 2000 when SAF was hv'g a carnival to showcase their weapons and all. I particularly like this pic cos of Jnr's expression. It's not exactly a scared expression, neither is it a serious one.

Laughing My Way

Story behind the layout:
Actually there's no story behind it. It just so happens tat both pics are befitting to form the theme I hv in mind - "Laughing".

And I hv to say, this is my best layout ... so far ie. And hopefully, I'll improve with more practice.

This layout was also done with the forum's Scraplifting Challenge #2 in mind. We are to copy the layout of samples taken from the web and do up our own. The theme is quarter / squares.

Moo Moo

Story behind the layout:
According to the Lunar Calendar, Jnr was born in the year of Bull. Thus me & my ex-hubby bought the Bull piggy bank to save up for him. It was my mum who caught tat pouting-expression. And it seems so befitting to be linked to the Bull. Altho a bull grunts, it "sounds" nicer with "Moo Moo". Fortunately, Jnr is not as stubborn as a bull. But I am ... LOL !!!!!

Another reason for doing this layout was to participate in the Scrapbooking Patterned Papers Only Challenge in the forum. And this is what I came out with.

My 1st Layout - Tooth Fairy

Story behind the layout:
This was the 1st time Jnr pulled out his own tooth. And unknowingly too. Cos he was just tugging at it. And the tooth just came off while we're chatting the time away. He was pleasantly surprised tat it didn't hurt him one bit. And I'm oh-so proud of him tat he survived this ordeal smoothly & bravely. From then onwards, he'd specifically leave "instructions" tat he'd want to be his own Dentist.
