List prompt # 9 : Things I collect for Art Journal

I'm have a stash of cut images from magazine/brochure/leaflet 

All kind of Papers 

Alphabets from magazine headlines

List Prompt # 11 : Subjects I know

Thanks to iHanna & Tammy again for coming out 

this wonderful prompt for us to work on. 

Hmm...I'm not expert in any of the subjects listed in my journal. 

But I love doing all these things around and presumed I have little knowledge about the subjects. 

Some subjects that i have to excel in are due to my passion found in my profession.

And also some are due to my personal interest which i always find time to know more about them. 

 

List prompt # 8 : Music & Movies

I spend more time for this ... to figure out what was my favorite.

Thanks to Hanna & Tammy. 

little stuff

I bought this little camera stamp from Centara Plaza, Bangkok. 

It's so cute & handy and have fun to use it. 

A page for Bangkok

I've put all my evidence of travel to Bangkok to my travel journal. 

The Kit Kat wrapper, remembered me of Mike, a US guy who is resides at Japan and 

working with government. We chit chat during the flight time, he share to me about his life in Japan, 

by the way he used to travel around due to work matter and etc.

The little bottlecap reminded me of the water provided by the Hotel. 

And also a big bath tub beside the bed.

I also found MUJI at the department store next to Hotel. (* note : No Muji at Malaysia yet) 

Every pieces of evidence do have their story behind. 

List Prompt #10 - Random Facts about me
