Da jie's Birthday!

Today is da jie's birthday :) i took 2 hours flexi leave from school and went to far east to try to find her something she might like...It was pretty tough, cause my da jie has got almost everything, you name it, she has it!

I was about to call it a day when i saw this shop call BeadsPassion...it's really pretty cool, they sell all sorts of beads, chains, pendants, hooks, jump rings, chains...even the pliers manz! There's actually 2 stalls in far east, the one i went to was the one at the 3rd floor...i became friends with the sales girl :) i was first attracted to the aeroplane pendant! it's so so so cool!!! and i wanted to make a necklace for myself...then i thought, hey why not make something for da jie...haha

I spent about an hour in the shop....really, cause i have never, i repeat NEVER make a bracelet before. The sales girl was kind enough to explain to me the functions of the different pliers, and introduced me to a cheaper alternative because i'm a ... er.... beginner!

Anywayz, i spent $36.60 in the stall altogether! (3 packets of 8 for $3.40 Swarovski beads, $5 for 1m of chain, $1.80 for hooks, $1.50 for jump rings, $5 for chain nose pliers, $4.50 for cutter, $5.50 for a round nose pliers and 2 lockets for $2.80 each) scary huh...

My hands keep shaking while doing the bracelet, and i had to wear my glasses...imagine that people! well, the end result is er...really quite simple, but hey, i'm no expert!
