made: Small Book G2

by the end of last semester,
i found that my precious notebook i lovingly called Small Book (i just love irony) has only a few empty pages left in it.
obviously not enough to completely fill in anymore notes in the upcoming school term...
.
Small Book has been such a good trooper, holding all my notes from all my subjects since Form6..
if there's a competition to choose the best book in the world, i'd vote for it.
heck,i'll crawl through the crowd and burn every other books nominated to crown my Small Book the winner.
.
sadly it's time for it to retire from the note-taking scene :(

Small Book <3

.

.
.
so i bought a new 300-page notebook:

the picture isn't from me,'cause i forgot to take the 'before' picture of my campap notebook :s
i found this photo from google :P
anyway.
.
my campap notebook has a story:
it was under-priced,compared to the others of its specific kind..
so i took it up,flip it around..
did a thorough check of the whole thing and compared it with other campaps..
didn't find anything wrong with it.
.
so happily i took the cheaper tagged book to the counter and paid for it,
and i was thinking: 'man,this must be my lucky day...i found and bought an RM8.90 book for RM7.00'
.
THEN I WENT HOME.
brainstormed for what i can do to incredible-ize my plain-jane notebook.
.
a few days later, after coming up with a perfect plan for my book cover,
i opened the book,
flipped it to the first page.
'TU DIA.
the page is inverted.
.
apparently so does the next 40pages or so..
ALL INVERTED.
it's like i can use it to write Jawi in the first 40pages...
then it went back to normal.
.
my book was flawed +_____________+'
no wonder it's cheaper than the rest.
.
so my checking wasn't done completely thoroughly.
.
zzzzzz.
.
the end.
.
.
.
.
alright so i took the flawed fine-line notebook (i dislike using wide-line,it's a waste of my money 'cause i can't write as much as i could on fine-line papers...i'm cheap like that.),
cut up some cardboards that i'd save-up from my many left-over drawing blocks..
stuck them to the flimsy covers of the campap notebook:
and with the aid of my mum's 21st century (not-so) light-weight sewing machine,
i cut up some of my old clothes that i don't wear anymore,
cut them into strips,
and sew them together side by side~
then when i'm done forming one long piece of collage-d fabric,
i run the machine all over the cloth in no particular direction.
.
it secures my cloth and provides texture. :)
my plan was to make a rustic-looking book cover..
like it's been used for a long time and looks kind of worn-out.
plus, i'm not the best seamstress on the island,so rustic is the best i can do..
(neat&tidy is over-rated anyway)
.
so you'll get this:
then measure the long piece of cloth to the book,
mark the points you need to combine,
sew them up,
cut off the excess cloth and thread,
and slide the cover onto the book and you'll get this:

*satisfied*

see...i have John Lennon on the front,

and Paul McCartney on the back~
(i only know these two guys from the Beatles..don't know what are the names to the other two Beatles...but they're on my cover as well XD)

pocket.

it took me......3+hours to complete the sewing+assembling.
(preparation on the book and strips of cloth were done beforehand)
.
.
that's all about my 2nd Generation Small Book :)))))))
i'mmmmmm READY FOR SCHOOOOOL!!!~~~~~~~

by the way!
i went shopping with car-won* last sunday,
and i bought stickers! (i also bought two other angrybird merchandises..just sayin')
.
and my stickers has Hanguel in it!
.
see:

i don't know what most of them says since i can only pronounce Korean words so far,
but i know it's about studying..
'cause i found some words that say "gongbu haja!" and "gongbu saranghe!" ,
which basically meant 'let's study!' and 'i love studying!' respectively...
.
.
.
and they have one with PERIODIC TABLE too!!!!

the PERIODIC freakin' TABLE of freakin' ELEMENTS yo!

.
i love Korea....

*car-won = inside joke with my frenemy. car-won is her assigned name. :P
