Who Killed Piddie !!! (Ranting again..)

Post edited, on a Sunday morning! Time now in 8.15am!

Hate the fact that once I wake up, its hard to "re-sleep". Oh well, I'll nap later maybe before/after lunch. Please scroll down to read the added pieces.

Okie. DIY Time.
I think my last post with the label "DIY" is the sticker post and that was in MAY 08!

. . . and I don't know what else to say liao.
Bah, see for youself lah.
I need to wake up early tomorrow.



This is a gift from SheepishAcai from her honeymoon trip, claiming that she bought me my "Favorite Animal". So predictable, what else... Pig lah.

Born in the year of Boar, boh-pien.

I do like plushies but you got to admit that they're kinda useless. I mean, other than touching it, hugging it, squeezing it or throw/ punch/ kick/ twist their neck when the person who gave you make you angry... basically you're just gonna put there and let it grow dust.

"OMG! So cute!", yes I still said that but I'm not gonna fork out money from my wallet to buy it. Getting it as a gift? Okay lah.. sure will feel touched for quite a while but after that I'll be having headache where to put it liao.

So today I came up with an idea after seeing this and told SheepishAcai that imma transform the plushie keychain into an USB Pen Drive. And I did! Well, maybe not as good but at least I did it.

p/s: There's no instruction in the website and I just simply hantam test test one. Try at your own risk.

The weird bigfoot piggie plushie keychain is not longer useless.
=)


First of all, cut off the thread connecting the head and body.





Get your thumb/ flash/ pen drive ready.


Open them up.


Because my pen drive is too long for my plushie, so I'm forced to cut the excess away.


And it looked really ugly after that.


Nevermind la, put into the plushie also no one can see what.

Then pop the pen drive in and sew up the opening so that the pen drive won't slip out from the "body".


Don't forget the cap too~

* Ta Da *

The End Product

And I named it Piddie.
Piggie + Pen Drive = Piddie.

Piddie at work

Okie, end of post.


Now, still having trouble getting couple pen drives?
No need lah, just get a pair of cute teddies and do it yourself.
So got heart and romantic. Unique lagi.

Do give it a try but be careful when taking the pen drive out if you don't need the case. I need the case because I want it to fit nicely to the head/ cap.

Ta~

By popular request at Spiritual Garden,

here... my Piddie's Head

Looks awful right?
(Nevermind lah, no one see also) - since I'm making it for myself.

Well, it was my first attempt and I had no tutorials and guild lines to follow hence the mess. Seriously, I have no idea how the heck I sew the cap in because I kinda lost patience since its the last piece of the "project".

All I did was popped the cap into the head, squeezed a moderate amount of UHU around it and sew them tight. Really, I don't have precise steps to teach you guys how to sew it because I simply ham-tam one, just attached the area which looks flabby and out of place intact.

I'm not good in sewing,
else you won't be seeing those "spilled" cottons out of the head.

Anyway, would you mind if I rant a bit here.
I'm going through a tiny period of angst now, don't worry.. its relevant to my post.



I was happily showing someone my Piddie expecting for some WOWs and WAHs follow by maybe a little compliment, but to my disappointment... not only that she seems lack of interest in it (which is totally fine with me because I do come across people who doesn't appreciate handmade stuffs thinking its a complete waste of time when they could use money to buy a perfect-looking factory-made. "Cheh, spend so much time make one. Go buy lah. Not like its very expensive..." is what they love to say), and commented...

"Nonnie, you very free hor..."

i. really. really. hate. it. when. people. say. i. very. free.

Yes, I get really defensive when I heard that comment. Come one, each and everyone of us is getting 24 hours a day and how you manage your time is entirely up you yourself!

How dare you label me as "Eat full, nothing to do" when I prefer to spend my time blogging or making some crafts, whereas you spend time visiting beauty saloon doing facial, textile shop buying kains when you already have like.... 200 over pieces of baju kurung/ kebaya/ fashion/ whatsoever in your wardrobe, going to your boyfriend house and spend time with him, play puzzle-solving computer games and watching downloaded series tembak from your friends?

Is this what you termed it as a "very busy" lifestyle?

I spent my 3 hours in making this, you spent yours watching telley and scratching your butt, now... whose the one being free?

Why am I being judged when we both have the same amount of free time? Just because I blog and love to make stuffs out of rubbish?

There's people who enjoys cooking like him, she plays basketball daily and those shutterbugs (too many to mention) who love photography, spending time and money, putting so much effort in producing good art ... its their hobbies, and what's wrong with that?

So what... people who:

- loves shopping
- loves cooking
- loves to play golf
- loves to hunt for delicious food
- loves to play online games
- loves to watch E!
- loves to spend time doing nothing with their boy/girlfriend(s)
- loves to lepak in the Mall
- loves to lepak in coffee shops looking at passersby to whistle
- loves to pluck their armpit hairs
- loves to stalk people via facebook or friendster
- loves to put sliced-cucumbers on their eyes

is very busy lah?

Wah.... Very productive hor you. Not like me, ranting in my blog now.
I have no life man.

Whatever..... *roll eyes*

And people like me who blogs and enjoy making little stuffs has too much free time?
You tell me lah, fair or not like that? D'oh.

You have your choice in deciding what you want to do and I have mine! I've not utter a single word about your selections so please, MYOB! You're not my MOTHER!


p/s: Dear beloved friends.... please, for the last time. Don't ever say I'm very free again. I really hate it and because I love you, I choose not to argue back indignantly.

Don't ever come to me and say "You good lah. So short your working hour...."
If you like it so much, why don't you fight for the life you're envious with? Instead of feeling all desirous and comment negatively about others.

Yes, its not easy I know.
But better than you doing nothing and goes into a sulk just like a child.

Your life, your choice... entirely your responsibility whether it turns out great or crappy.
