I made CD Holder!

What happened on a Sunday morning when mother was out of town, and the boyfriend left StreamyX for home-cooked meals staying 90km away?

Heh. Heh. Heh.




Ignorance is bliss.
Bliss to the M.A.X.

No one warning me,

"Hoi, tidy up your things. If any guy happens to see this also don't want to marry you liao.."

That is so sweet and helpful, Mother.

No need to pretend,

"Yikes, Ah Pui coming. Have to clear up the mess else he'll have to sit on the floor. Cannot like that, he always thought that I'm his domestic goddess. Must. Keep. Good. Image."

Okay... I kidded.

Mum had given up on training me as the "traditional-can-cook-can-clean-hardworking-good temper-score100%-daughter-in-law" material when I was 10.

As for Bobby, needless to say. His room in Miri is 10x messier than mine. He had books, lots and lots of paper on his bed and he cleared up a tiny space fit for half his body and slot in horizontally with his feet on the ground. Can imagine that?

Anyway, I D.I.Y-ed last Sunday. Thus the mess on my bed.
Yeah, I don't have any decent table for me to study or work on. My bed is my table. Beat it.

Scroll back up again and look in to the first picture.

Saw my notebook? (Notebook, the one made of paper, not iron and steels.)
Saw the drawing in it?
That's my draft of what I'm making.

Can guess?

. . . Crap, I forgot that I'd already said it out loud in my title (of this blog post).
(I bet some of you scroll up to check again!)

Bah, I made CD Holder . ^_^

I have lots of self-pirated audio CDs in my car,


And that silly looking hamburger CD holder is just not enough. In fact, the zip rosak already. I really need a new one since I'd busted all the available compartments in my car with CDs.



First of all, get those CD bags ready and stack them up.
I got 100pcs of them in Miri for RM3.90.

It's going to be a 25pockets CD holder.

Cut the fabric according to size.

Stitch. Stitch. Stitch.

After finishing the head, next what I made was the Antenna.

Then the hands.


Cutting and stitching are so so so tedious. Note that I didn't mention "Measuring"? Yeah, I never really measure and I think irregular and uneven shapes make my "creations" more unique.

Test-Test.
See-See.

(Arrange them in place)

Okay or not?

Yes I know.. the hand too panjang.
Fix it later.

I hope by this time you had already figured out that it's a robot. Anyone asking me if it's TOFU or will be beheaded! Calling it an alien is acceptable by the way.

Bought those self-adhesive tape for $0.35. Not necessary to buy one whole meter since I don't need that much. The shop is kind enough to sell just 10cm to me.

Almost the end-product

I brought it along to the kopitiam meeting the girls and showed them. They thought the "round antenna" looks funny. I said I can remove if it's not nice, but then they said without the antenna, it'll look less "Robotic".

So hard to please eh.

I told them I'll just stitch "I am a ROBOT" so people won't come ask me what is it. Smart leh? Man... stitching, more like embroidering those words damn tough lah!

My first time trying, so don't complain!
Mai hiam eh sai laaa...

(Translation: Acceptable if not too fussy)

Oh ya, I forgot to mention that those arms can be rotated!

Hands up! Hands down!

Maybe it didn't quite turn out the way I expected, but it's still good. I didn't make any legs for it because it's a "Floating Robot"! No legs needed!

. . . okay la, I'm just being lazy.
And I had no idea what kind of "kaki" I can give it.

Meet NonniBot SquareBag, my new companion in car.
Yes, he's an angmoh. Can't you tell from the name?

Overall, I give myself 6 out of 10 for this project.
Good idea, bad workmanship.
Nice from far but far from nice.

Maybe I should really cut down DIY-ing.
It's just so depressing when it comes to the last part, that is... Tidying and Cleaning Up!
