Monday we were supposed to sit for our school mid year examination but dunno why teacher gave us a Memo to bring home last week. Said Examination have been postpone to start a day later coz we are going to celebrate Teacher's Day on Monday.
Maybe that's why one of my classmate so free la. She went and gave me a "love letter" . Ask me bring home and read wor. But when I got home and open it....empty geh...she used invisible ink to write ah? Like the ones we bought from Big Bad Wolf Books Sale last year ka?
Aiyoyo! last minute no time to prepare Teacher's Day pressie leh. Just "korek"(dig around) the house. Managed to come up with something presentable la. No need expensive things gua. Pens, an apple and keychains from our vacations can gua. We "talk heart, no talk gold" punya leh.
No cards. I just cut out heart shapes from A4 paper and scribble on it . Paste. Done.
Then Sunday evening Mamarazzi saw Azura's Facebook. Hey! she made some pretty carnations from Cupcakes lines. Seems easy enough. We have got most of the materials in our kitchen.
(image from Azura's blog )
Wokay.... we don't really have every thing la. But can replace lo....
Don't have the screw driver looking thingy...guess scissors and cellophane tape will do gua.
No thin wire , replace with satay sticks la . no the ones "recycled" from our Melaka trip, okay........
No green tape...errr..... wrapped inside the cookies wrapper/packet, won't notice gua....
Guess this is what Sifu Azura says "up cycle" the stuffs gua.
Our "pakai hentam " materials.
Jeng! Jeng! end result. Not bad ah?
And the "killer" last touch...... a spray of "par fume"
Now I can "Bollywood " like the movie "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai"
"मेरी प्यारी अध्यापकों। अध्यापक दिवस की शुभकामनाएं!"
while Mamarazzi was busy making the carnation, I went' "korek-ing". Supposed to help her find the material. Instead, I found Mamarazzi's old HTC handphone. The one that went for a bathe in the washing machine and came out shivering long time ago. Tried CPR but too late.
I was so happy when I found it. I told her "Yay! I found a phone for myself". Then she had to spoil it and say that the phone had gone to heaven la. Can't use anymore. But I didn't believe her. She told me if I don;t believe, I can try and charge it and see. I did just that.
Hey! guess what!? It WORKS! Can turn on and I even played a game in that. Yay! Now I got myself a phone. Finder's Keepers; Losers Weepers.
Mamarazzi was amazed. Wah lau eh! HTC phone manyak durable wor...just like back in the 80s 90s where those 大哥大 handset that if you throw at the dogs, dogs also die. It's just an idiom ah! Don't go throwing things at cats and dogs , okay!
Mamarazzi said these two Mr Wobbly also wait for Dentist Lydia to help pull out la.
hahahaha... this is such a cute post! Kucing must mesmerised the teachers with his carnations. My kids also had their teachers' Day celebration last weekend.
ReplyDeleteThen you talk about how good the HTC phone is ... back to live! haha... Kucing must be very happy to see its still alive!
And, his two teeth ... good..save RM...
LOL......Ya lor save money on the tooth
Deletefrom far actually looks quite real! good job
ReplyDeleteThanks Irvine
DeleteWhat a beautiful beautiful gift for your teacher!Now maybe she will give you a top grade! I am going to Azora's blog to see how to make them. I think maybe the phone dried out really good. Now you have a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteYes do hop over to Azuras blog. She is very creative.
DeleteCertainly an unexpected surprise on ththe case of the phone☺
My phone went to the phone heaven.
ReplyDeleteIt was a prehistoric one.
Now I am trying a modern smart phone.
It is costing me a headache to figure out how it works.
Me myself I am to old for modern stuff.
Wish you lots of fun with your phone.
Kind regards,
Dont throw away the phone keep it become valuable in 20 yrs☺
DeleteSmart phones is a bit tough to handle for beginners. Mamarazzi blur sotong too last time
Wow! the carnations looks so real!!! I only know how to make roses out of tissue paper ... and ... u r toothless now, hmmm? ... did the tooth fairie come and leave u a dollar under ur pillow? ... smiles ... good luck with ur exams at school, lil kitten. Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteThese are much Easier than using tissue paper.yeah...am now missing two teeth☺. Nope, didnt get any $ from the tooth fairy but instead got an ice cream from Mamarazzi
DeleteThanks Cat 😊
Very sweet and thoughtful of mama and you to give pretty gifts and made the flowers for teachers.. I lagi malas, gave biscuits to teachers only. How to make so much, got about 15 teachers including daycare leh.. Pengsan..
ReplyDelete15 teachers cann9t give al lo..just gv the ones that involve in the study lor
DeleteAiyah!!! Give me that smartphone lah! Uncle does not have one. Old one, drowned already, what for you want? Ask papa buy you nice new one better! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard the ministry asked all schools to hold on Monday, standardise. Early early did not say - so stupid those people. Some schools did not care, went on with exams - hold it another day. Today celebrate, tomorrow exams - where got mood to play?
That Azura really good with her hands one, always makes very nice and pretty things. Your mum's also very nice leh. Boleh tahan one.
Finders keeper leh...lol.....
DeleteKesian the schools la. They already plan the work load and suddenly change like this. Play play during teachers day. Next day exam. Where got heart to study liao
Well, a touch by a lady dentist would not hurt so much so do not mind Dentist Lydia to pull out the teeth. ^^ If mamarazzi pull, sure small kucing wail and scream like hell!!
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts for teachers. Nice flowers lah. I did not ready anything. Lazy mummy. Still got time. Next Friday is the teacher's day celebration in my girl's school
See how? Maybe mood come, then will do Azura's lovely cupcake wrap flowers. Hehe.

Deletehaha like Teacher's Day is a big and important event now leh, even can postpone the mid year examinations.. Uncle SK that time also never celebrated Teacher's Day leh, the teachers also didn't expect anything from the students, not even want to hint hint the students to give presents.. nowadays teachers are different from last time already lu..
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Ya ka...but during mamarazzi time, teacher's day is big day leh. Got persembahan and etc. Many poor children cannot afford to buy giftsbto teacher. So everyone made card and flowers lor. Mamarazzi last time made carnation flowers from tissue paper to gv to her teachers. Cheepo gift aje la.
Deletewah, last minute baru tell the students need to prepare for the Teacher's Day ah?? eih, baru postpone one day only, as if don't need to study for the exams or like study the night before can already ah?? whatever lah, now Teacher's Day hor, the parents yang stressed and busy pulak, luckily Mamarazzi got "something" at home she can transformed into presents.. :p
ReplyDeleteMy teachers all very nice de. Sayangme and responsive when give feedback to Mamarazzi. So must show a bit of appreciation lo.
Deletewhat a smart way to make carnations from those paper cups and wires and green tapes!! Uncle SK suggest Mamarazzi to suggest the art teacher to see this post and then teach the students to make some lah.. aiyoh but Mother's Day baru over hor?? nvm, next year lah, haha!!
ReplyDeleteLol...maybe thevteacher will teach leh after receiving the flowers. Now a lot of lovelynideas from Pin interest and blogs
Deleteoi, so nice can find that collect-dust HTC phone and resurrect it, so Small Kucing now has a new phone, yeah!! can take photos and help Mamarazzi to blog already, haha!! suey lah Mamarazzi touched it become rosak, Small Kucing found it and make it alive again!! amazing dei~~ Kuch Kuch Hota Hai!!! xD
ReplyDeleteMuhahahaha.....you sk pandai. ...now just have to bodekpapa buh me a SD card coz tha phone nk sd card. Memory not enough to store many photos
DeleteIf I be teacher, I think the kids and the parents will love me, because I will tell them: "Don't give me any gifts for Teacher's Day, especially don't waste effort preparing handmade gifts, I will throw them away soon enough"... XD
ReplyDeleteGive u food instead is ? Muahahaha feed you for a mknth. No need to cook at home. Can relax after work and watch empress of china show
