Bridesmaid’s bouquet

Finally! Got a chance to do a real bouquet…

As usual, the teacher demonstrated once on the cone-shaped sponge (not those normal wrapping as seen outside), and we followed suit…

It appeared to be easy, but when it was my turn to do, I didn’t know how to arrange the flowers (eustama) in equal distance from each other…The flowers also didn’t look very nice, having being flattened, I suppose…After the flowers, the tea leaves and baby’s breath went up to their places…

The teacher took a look at our masterpieces, then commented here and there… Most of us created a round shaped bouquet instead of the pear-shaped one…Ha! But guess it still came out unscathed…

Teacher said the bouquet could fetch a price of $60 in the market…the materials cost only $14.80…florists definitely earn a lot!

Walked all the way home with the bouquet in my hand, under the curious looks of passer-bys… Was deciding whether to give the bouquet to a colleague who’s leaving the company, or to mum for offering to the gods…Went for the latter, as the crushed flowers didn’t look very nice as gift…Ha!

Looking forward to next Thursday! We’ll be doing the bride’s bouquet!

Budding Florist II

Didn't manage to upload the pix of the other two corsages...

Budding Florist

Almost two weeks had passed since my first bridal floral arrangement class...Kinda regretted it as the teacher is quite strict and we gotta pay for the materials used, on top of the course fees...Should have bought a hand bouquet for Ah Teng instead..cheaper and saves the time...But there wouldn't be any thoughts...

Learnt how to make corsages to be pinned to the dress/shirt...in form of rose, orchids and carnation...

Here's my masterpieces...The rose corsage could sell for $3, the orchids for $4.50 and the carnation for $6 I suppose...

Reality...Dream...Mixed-up

Woke up astart this morning from a nightmare...the whole office reality was transformed totally into my dream...piece for piece...
Why didn't I ever dream of striking the first prize, which would eventually become a reality?

Nothing to cheer me up...not even the upcoming Bunny Day...Thot of going Bintan, but there was no ferry seats and no cheap hotel rooms...save up for next trip...
Some friends juz came back from Thailand...some friends are going to Taipei...and some colleagues are going to Perth...i'm going nowhere...

zzZZzz..almost nodding off from checking all the posted journals for incorrect entries...

P.M.B.

Nothing to look forward to...and a new week at work is definitely not in my favorite list of events...as usual, I'm suffering from my weekly dose of pre-monday blues...

Finished two books and two cans of Pringles and misc tidbits over the weekend...There's only one word applicable now...FAT...*burps*

Sunday's officially over...a new Mon beckons...back to the awful boss...colleagues...

Duno if my next blog gona carry any more exciting or happier news...
