By the way, I didn't do this little drawing in the corner of the page. The notebook came this way!
I carry this notebook with me all the time. The first page has a photo of my late wife which I took when we visited the church at Shere in Surrey. Sadly she died on Saturday 21 June 2003 – thirteen years ago today.
I've been searching for a perfect little notebook for all my needs, most serve the note taking purpose but lacks photo journaling features, GTD elements, or refillable with nice leather covers. I have a passion for Moleskine and Traveler's Notebook, but a product with the combination of their features, in addition to some of my own note taking practice, is difficult to find. So I set out to play with some customizations and adaptations on scrap materials.......

16 years ago I took a picture of my messy Moleskine www.flickr.com/photos/adulau/149754989 and shared it in flickr. After many years of writing in various notebooks, I share a stack of some my old and open notebooks.
A mini-notebook that my mom bought for me yesterday. She knew that I love notebooks. I don't know why but I have a thing for it. I just collect it and don't write anything except for my name. I consider it as one my guilty pleasure, haha. :D how 'bout you guys, what's your guilty pleasure? :)
It's fun to write the memories of the trip or something on a notebook.

I have just added another bon mot to the commonplace section of my notebook.

Yesterday’s trail of links; I bumped into an article listing 87 facts about Star Trek. I’m a Star Trek fan, so how could I resist! It turns out that this article was published in an app named Wattpad. Never heard of it, so of course I had to install it on my iPhone and check it out.
Anywho, while reading up on the 87 facts, the fact that the Klingon language is a fully developed fictional language popped up and that we can learn this language via the Duolingo app. Naturally I had to check that out too and so discovered Duolingo also offered a course in High Valyrian (language from Game of Thrones). This led me on the trail to read more about fictional languages, which led me to articles about the Voynich manuscript and the Codex Seraphinianus. The latter was a very interesting and curious find! It’s an art book which I will buy in the near future. Though you can see the full book online, in pdf format here: www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/CodexSeraphinianus.pdf
The above is only the essence of yesterday’s trail of links, I relaxed in the sofa and spended a few hours leasurely reading countless of other articles. But what ended up in my journal was what stuck to me the most.
This weeks Macro Monday theme is "Back to school". When I was a kid, I always enjoyed going back to school every September. There were some years that the first day of school landed on the same day as my birthday (Sept. 5th) which wasn't always so nice lol.
One of my favourite new school supplies was getting packs of lined paper. I always started the new school year off with writing neatly on fresh pages of crisp white paper but by the end of the school year my writing always got sloppier. Haha! But I always had good intentions every start of the school year to put forward my best effort and to do really well...starting with good writing and note taking skills. :D
HMM everyone!
A selection of the notebooks I have kept. Front and center is the one that rides around in my purse to collect thoughts and ideas, but there are personal journals, class notebooks, a work notebook, a home-maintenance log and an old Wiktionary notebook in here, too.
Fungus Workshop Leather Craft
I learned leather craft from a few books but I felt kind of lonely just doing things I like all by myself. Thanks to Bubi Au Yeung, a figurine artist, who told me about Fungus Workshop, so I signed up for a beginner's class, two lessons passed and I got to know stuffs I didn't learn from books, plus knowing these passionate people who enjoy life and craft genuinely, which is kind of rare in a city like Hong Kong.
Each classmate choose what he/she would like to do from a bunch of samples. I chose to do something in the line of stationery (later I will do a camera/laptop messenger bag). Their template was a notebook cover, but I decided to make it a GTD index card holder. After finishing it, I decided to add a notebook for note taking and an antique key to nostalgize the whole thing.
For all leather projects I did, improvisation in the last minute seems to add beautiful touches to a plain project. As you can see, the enclosure here doesn't wrap the back of the cover to the front, instead it leaves the back wide open so I can dangle the whole notebook or even hook it up to my messenger bag.
Instead of a Moleskine notebook, I put a Rhodia notebook inside just because of its bright orange color, to lighten up a bit. However, I hate the fact that the PU cover of Rhodia discolored after just 6 months from my acquisition of it. In addition, it just doesn't lie flat like a Moleskine does when opened. Anyhow, the discoloration did added the raw and battered look I like.
For those of you who are in Hong Kong and hunger for leather craft, I highly recommend Fungus Workshop. Hoiming and Baldwin, Grace and Philip, all four are friendly souls you can chat with and learn from. I am so happy Hong Kong is catching up with Japan and Taiwan in leather crafting. Keep it up Fungus!

Hacking GTD Tabs And Index Cards Into Traveler's Notebook
The 5th anniversary edition Traveler's Notebook is way too attractive not to get. But how am I gonna carry everything in it including my GTD index cards which I normally put into my mind.Depositor? Well first, if you don't know how to put 4 notebooks into the leather cover, check out this previous post.
To put the 4 stacks of GTD index cards (next actions, project, waiting for and someday) into the notebook, first you use 2 pieces of thick paper cut to the size of the notebook refill cover, then insert them to one of the elastic bands just like you normally would do with a notebook refill. This will give you 4 pages/placeholders for the index cards. You can make the index cards more accessible by reducing the width of each page, the first page being the narrowest and so forth.
The rest is just easy, using binder clips to clip each stack of index cards onto the corresponding pages. If you are like me looking for more stylish way to use the clips, check out my previous post about how to make these Leather GTD Tabs.
Perhaps you've noticed an extra notebook on top of my Traveler's Notebook in the first image. It is a Moleskine weekly diary I need constant access to, I customized to make it likable together with Traveler's Notebook. Next year however, I don't need to do that anymore coz Midori is going to release a weekly refill in the format I like most - weekly diary on the left page, note space on the right! Can't wait for the 2012 weekly diary coming out, which will be around September 2011.
