Bathroom Plaque

I must be exaggerating way too much when I have finished this...my first daisy!

Room plaques for Nieces

Having learn few strokes techniques, I am trying to do as much and as frequent as possible with a thought that everyday I will keep improving.

And its proven even though the fur is not yet obvious to the naked eyes.

The teddy bear sketch, which will be taught by my Sifu in the next ahead class but I am so eager to try 1st on my own.

And the victim recipient of the end products are none than my nieces in L144 Kemaman.

Hopefully, they will hang the plaques proudly on their private room doors.

Only one free message : Please be thankful that your parent is not in the military profession, if not I will proudly stroll into your rooms smell nothing but a clean and fresh aroma. ~a single bear for a niece who conquer one whole room for herself in the house

~I am adding some new finishing ribbon~the duo for the middle and third niece who share their room.~think that I should get more variety ribbons, in stripey, polka dots, etc

Folkart Again

Since my 1st folkart class, I became addicted to draw.

Never thought the hobby is so addictive, and a day is incomplete without doing anything related.

After pressing my mind looking for a sketch idea to put on the plaque, finally managed to produce one humble piece.

Please forgive me if it is not to anyone's expectation, coz I am pleasing only myself.

~a castle by a river. The trees are meant to be maple which I should use more darker red with choc and yellow shade, but...it has became pink (again?) instead..maybe next time it will get better

New House

Here are some photos for you nice wievers, whats not here meant they are totally incomplete section or really, really an eyesore lol!!

~First eyesore (as for the 1st impression) my neighbor renovated their gate, without the proper garbage area make my front compound as theirs dumping area (I try, tried to think positive, it must be the stray dogs garbage-ransacking activities at nite..)

~the newly cleaned front yard, my mini garden-to-be

~this is whats done on the front main door so far, from outside .

~from inside,at last my rooster runner became useful. Wlh still gave me silly/otai answers when I asked how many cocks/hens are there..~the lounge area in front of main door entrance .

~the console acts as a divider btw the lounge and the dine area.~the spacious living room, more rugs to come courtesy from hubby.

~the disqualified interior designer touch...who else?

~the discontinued Biby for my teapots and Bunga Kangkung collections display.~the oversized 20x24ft oven still waiting for a proper buffet/table to put onto.

~the Smadals still sit in the dine area (mind the die-hard model..)~both wall shelves occupied with Portmeirion Botanic Roses plates, mugs n canisters.

Now that the essay starts here:

We finally moved last 2 weeks, and officially the hse isnt running completely 100%.
Why I said so? Coz my hubby's countless clothes are still in the storage, and imagine the space it occupies in the guest's room.

So the room was a complete mess. And I cant make up the room as long as they are not in proper wardrobe until he got his three Ikea Aneboda (next month's budget allocation).
And as according to hubby, all his five door wardrobe he bought fr Carrefour went into his step-brother's room, so there they were right now. Funnily, only I door was occupied coz he didnt have much cloth collection like my hubby's.

Sadly, none of my picture/photo frames was hung, yet.

~Also, I just realised how small the kitchen is, only a slight bigger to our previous.
(Considering both my refrigerator and cooker are quite big sized).
~boxes still stacked in the kitchen
I dont want to be lost finding an item, and spending a pause thinking of where to put it back after use.

And I am running out of space (again!) to store all the cooking utensils, tupperwares,etc etc. Yes I got space, but I need a proper storage system for easy retrieval.

Think all the housewife will agree to that, unlike those who really have fancy kitchen and cabinet system only for display (like the Malay says; Dapur Jarang Berasap)

As for who are more fortunate to have spacious both wet and dry kitchen...they must be having lots of space luxury till the separation is possible.

~also newly cleaned back yard, reserved for washing machine and cats cage~the lil princess on mummy's gateaway

My First Folk Art

In the midst of new home reorganising ie recluttering and decluttering, I cant miss to attend a very generous folkart class generously offeredby Teacher Sya...here is her page : http://englishdecomaniac.blogspot.com/.

After being lost 2 times, and being honked by few lorry drivers (as if I need to shout : "I am lost, you i***t!"), I reached the Sifu's den aka soho.

Marvellous house cum studio, even though I dont think Sifu intentionally wants to create a mini studio at all. All her masterpieces were displayed on racks and shelves, and they didnt make her house mess unlike some I saw over the net.

Since I wanted to respect the other students' privacies, I didnt shoot any photo at all.

But, here is my 1st folkart piece. I am proud of it even though its not really that grand.

Said to myself i couldnt believe it tat I can produce tis someday..almost got me in down in tears...
I owe so much to my Sifu, many thanks Sifu!!

Sticking Stickers Day and Mishaps at Ampg Park Lrt

As planned, the two of us went to Citibank to grab the tshirts by train coz I dont know where to park during peak hour there.

The lil one was like a cow just came out of its cage (just as 'Kerbau terlepas kandang' of Malay proverb), was jollied strolling down the lane from Ampang Park station to the CB building.

On the way back at sharply 1.15pm while heading to the underground train waiting area escalator, the itchy lil finger has pressed the 'STOP' button of the escalator.

Automatically, it stopped as if it was jamned.

So for all those commuters who faced unthrilling difficulty at Ampg Park lrt station going down the escalator, please forgive me on behalf of my 'other itchy hand'. Sooo sorry!!

And at home I continued the endless packing and labelled to where the box should be placed at new home.

And again the itchy hands gave me endless headache, thank God the monster inside of me didnt wake up and resort to stay calm inside!

~after mummy sticked the stickers, I took them off to be as my body stickers!!~and I am confident that I am not guily at all!!!

I am Fully Occupied

With the neighbor son's wedding took place last weekend, my endless packing took a time release. Happy Wedding to a lovely young couple who decided to tie a knot last Friday.

My do'a for them is to stay calm on incoming challenges and keep communicating to each other.~I am curious and dissatisfied when dady kept blaming me when the sofa broke, but he never had a chance to notice this wrongful jumping act by his daughter, the culprit of all the damages even though she was only 10+ kgs...~The old partly broken sofa has been transferred to my husband's office leaving only a coffee table and a small carpet for waielah to roll on and make her usual mess.

I managed to list down all the necessary checklist and try not to miss anything.

Anything possible to be arranged earlier was on the top list.

If everything went as planned, tis wkend ISA the move will take place...~Including this 2nd (meaning got the previous 3-seaters, yey yey..) 2-seats lover sofa also fr Fella, so holeng!

Having both in soft creme color make my start worrying on the unwanted spots that may be poured,spilled,or wiped on them, especially by the naughty Waielah.

~I still made regular trips to supermkt to get some boxes for packing. Seen here Waielah got her milk fOC and joined some fun group activity, after crying for usual mengamuk..~with limited space outside the hse, the labelled and segregated boxes kept pile up inside!and more to come

Spoiled New House

Relaxing at home today I received a fon call from my property agent for the new house-to-be.

Bad news was the owner found his own tenant, who may be offering higher price than ours agreed.

So the house is out of mind, and out of picture.

Whoever the owner is he is so damned daring to act so, no wonder he never confirmed on the firm date the house will be vacant for us to move in.

Luckily the agent found another house and available for viewing at 4pm.

~from no. 33 to 20. Right opposite off the new resort-style Nusa Tropika Semi-D 3 storey.. Our aim house by next yr, InsyaAllah (ISA)!
~another good news is its a 20x80ft instead of previous spoiled 20x70. Spacious to park 2 cars in a row and left mummy some ample space for a little gardening
(painting, cats, gardening, and not to mention attending to wlh's temper; I m gonna get really busy). Will be called as "mom's little garden"! (so many idea already ah)
~so many check list for the new house. Including this classic 3-seater fr Fella (at 30% off move out sales) that I eyed for. Please, hubby!!!!

Thanks to Miss Ar for accompanying me to Fella and Miva. Girlfriends' thoughts are priceless, always.
Hope everything will go smoothly , ISA, Amin!!

I had a new House Cleaner!

While I was busying myself with wrapping and packing, the endless chores again, somebody is acting as a floor cleaner.

She grapped my camisole, sweep the floor as if it has been flooded with pouring water, while her mouth is fastly mumbling, sound like she is nagging "hey, hemmmm! abis tumpah air atas lantai ni...bla bla bla (in Pinggu's language).."

Made me smile on the spur of the moment. She must have been taping (register in mind) my nagging when I was sweeping the floor from her careless act some time ago. She really wants to play housekeeping these days.

My lil daughter also, has became protective over her mum. She will scream to daddy if he is scolding me in harsh language like "if the parking exit auto gate wont get up for the car to pass by, you go and pay the extra parking!".
"Daddy, jangan marah mummy..". I felt proud!

Visit to UiTM SA

Yesterday me n the lil one went to Shah Alam to 'busying' ourselves at dady's 2nd cousin convocation.

Every outing mummy's pocket tend to leak so much coz the lil one want this and that.

As a mom (and a good one) I became less rigid automatically, so long the items desired dont cost much, or expensive.

But yesterday since it is convocation, all kind of soft toys come in convo robe (or do we call it flush?), correct me if I was wrong.

And because of the ceremony also, all the sellers were cekik darah. (mind you my language ya)

Luckily I managed to get wlh these 2 stalks of soft fabric roses, instead of graduate mickey mouse in robe, hat and spectacles.

She saw seladang sculpt and was talking to the animal,as usual in her own Pinggu's language.

She must be curious looking at the animal stand like statue, being motionless.
Then to Sect 7 to eat yong tau foo with my niece Ayu. So far to feast that just found it that it was a branch of Ampang Point's one (next to Thai Village Restaurant)

More Mugs Additional of Gift

Since today waielah's daddy wanted to go to Low Yat for some iT stuffs, me n my lil daughter managed to follow him , only to BB coz my ultimate destination is the BB MJ.

I found there are other variants among Miss Ar's gift mugs, and bought another 2s for myself.

Also found some other patterns without the tea filter version. Only 4 variants are left on that version. So grabbed all the 4s.

Some serviettes for my future decoupage projects more to ala Portmeirion.

And a wedding for my neighbor's son who is getting married this 25th. A must, coz she was nice to us, even though I had some scary flat mates in C***********.(so long the name meh?)

Hadnt had much time at MJ and rushed to the counter in hurry till I forgot to use the cash voucher.

So? another trip looooo, this is not self-inflicted ah! just a usual left-out (yey yey yey..)

~the 2s other variants fr previous entry~the new version found today~this is for the eye of Miss Ar. Found the photos tree that she been actively seeking for...
~Arrg, so busy went shopping with mummy , she FORCED me to jump, run, and round all over the store not to mention sneaking to touch on the porcelain before she shouted to me "Put back!!"
