plastics,scissors and a clumsy person

i'm such in a good mood today that i decided to do the thing i hate (the most)
...handicrafting....
.. the lowest scale of it actually
... 'nyampul buku'.... 
hahaha..

i hate doing this particular activity because i have no skill whatsoever when it comes to making something with hands..
but today the urge is pretty strong. besides i got so many naked books laying around..
and so i grab my weapons of choices : toothpaste (yes, it can be used for nyampul. i saw the employees at Uranus bookstore using it, i'll give it a try) , cutter, plastic (for nyampul),scissors
victim : my books and my dignity.
and not to forget putting Jamie Cullum, Jesse McCartney and Chris Daughtry on the play...
and here i go..

i started with my cheap book so i won't be sorry if i'm ruining it..

and i was right.. it went wrong,..
you might wonder.. HOW?

and so acting like a savvy book wrapper I applied the toothpaste...
and.. SHIT..
the toothpaste was BLUE!! to makes things worst, it contained perlite.. the little blue sands.. SHIT CRAP..
actually i had had the feeling that it won't be wise to use that toothpaste
but i was stubborn,
half hoping that the toothpaste would turn white as i apply it on the paper
.. stupid thought..
and so i quickly dampened a tissue paper and rub it on the paper..
 the toothpaste went away with a bit of the paper's layer.. not bad..
i dismissed the toothpaste immediately..

tape was the only alternative left
but, as i'm not BFF with tape i decided that i won't be using any for the job...
(flashback..looking to the distant)
 My friend once said that she used no tape whatsoever to wrap her book..but she never told me how..
 family secret i supposed...

......
and then
using the phsyics skill and bit of sane human instinct..
i decided that...
 i will use the stroking force of a scissors!!
hoho..
guess what??

it worked marvelously..

feeling smart and all i continued my labor..
after wrapping 4 books tiresome came after me and be gone my good mood...

what an adventure.. 

here is the results..

standing ovation!!!
