Craft scissors

Craft scissors are scissors which have been developed for use in arts and crafts. There are several different styles of craft scissors, ranging from pinking shears, which create a wavy edge in cut objects, to children’s craft scissors, with blunt blades which are designed to reduce injury. Many craft stores sell an assortment of craft scissors, and it is also possible to order them through specialty suppliers. Having a pair of utility craft scissors around the house can be extremely useful, as these scissors tend to be very versatile.

It was the second day of Chinese New Year, 15 February 2010 to be exact. At 9.31am I got an sms from a friend, “Your face is on tv now”. I was like.. huh? By the time we switched on the tv, everything’s gone~ler. Yes, Ethan and I were featured on Tv3′s Kids News that day. Remember I blogged about our first recording? Unfortunately, we did not get to catch it..

Yesterday was my first day back at work. My students excitedly told my colleague that they saw me on tv, and he told me about it. Immediately I went to my students and lessons were ‘abandon’ for a moment there talking about my one minute ‘fame’

It seems that the students were more excited seeing their teacher on tv than me knowing that Ethan and I were on tv! Why was I not excited? Because I did not get to see ‘us’ on air~lor… So no feelings at all..

I contacted TV3 and they told me that they’ll arrange to give me a DVD copy of that episode. They might even have another episode aired before the end of the month. Keeping fingers cross now

I’ll keep you guys posted.. Happy Weekend..

My sweet valentine

If you love someone, put their name in a circle, instead of a heart, because hearts can break, but circles go on forever.
– Source Unknown

If music be the food of love, play on.
– Shakespeare

It takes more then lace and ribbons,
And lovely verses too,
To make a Valentine thats nice enough for you. It takes a world of special thoughts,
Tucked into every line,
And that’s exactly what you’ll find inside this Valentine.
– Unknown

At the touch of Love every one becomes a poet.
– Plato

Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.
– Sean Connery

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone out there

A team from a local television network came to our studio to do a recording coverage on Ethan’s art and craft activities today.
