A Homemaker’s Diary

Saturday ada buat mkn2 skit kat rumah, however not many were invited. As usual I prefer to entertain in small group, senang nak layan and byk masa nak sembang2 ngan tetamu.

So menu utk my small birthday celebration ni is mee tulang and choc cake. Both buat sendiri..hehehe..in a way buleh save budget jugak..ada la dlm 100 je spend for mkn2 ni..ok la kan.. mmg dah lama tak jemput org dtg mkn2 ni..dari petang sampai ke malam jugak melayan tetamu, walaupon tak ramai..ye la dah mkn, pastu duduk2 sembang, yg mana ada baby tu ngan baby nya hal…

I pon jadi baby sitter terjun jugak la tolong layan baby time mak2 ngan bapak2 nak mkn..letih gak ek pegang2 budak ni..tak masuk lagi time yg meragam dan sbg nya..bila pikir2 mcm tak nak la ada baby lagi..tgk org jaga anak pon dah letih..isk isk…

Well ,overall I was happy that the makan2 thing berjaya la jugak…2 periuk kuah tinggal saki baki je..tulang2 pon habis kena belasah, jin pon nangis tgk org mkn tulang sampai licin…hahaha..anybody interested nak recipe jgn la malu2 yer…kalau tak pon tunggu la my next batch of mkn2, tgk2 kalau you are lucky enough to be in my list..muahahaha..cam gelak anak jin plak..muahahaha (gaya gelak org jahat…)

To those who managed to make it, tima kasih yer sebab mkn dgn berseleranya..at least sorang dua mangkuk, baru berbaloi masak..for all the sweet bday gifts thanks a lot…dah tua bangka pon ada lagi yg nak bagi hadiah…hehehe…

I was so into reading Echoes by Danielle Steel last night that I went to sleep around 5 a.m. Before that I was doing calla lily sample for a friend’s wedding. She requested bunga telur in calla lily design, it’s her favourite flower and she has been trying to find this design in the market but to no avail.

I was not aware how calla lily looks like in the first place since I thought lily is lily, I mean the usual big 6 petals lily..well that actually is tiger lily. After doing some Google ing on how calla lily looks like I finally come out with the sample. This time I used stokin as my material since it can stretch and would be easier to bend the wire to be shaped into calla lily.

By the time I woke up today, it was gloomy outside. I was thinking to bring down the half-dried clothes to be aired outside, but looking at so many men doing constructions and renovation work at my neighbour’s house, my spirit dampened. I rather stay quietly in the house, it’s better for them to think that nobody in the house than knowing that I am all alone. These days one can’t be too careful when it comes to personal safety.

So I continued to do few more pieces of the orange calla lily since I would like to make bunga dulang for sample. I realized that I still lack few necessary items, some wire for decorative beads and matching pearls for adornment of the bunga dulang. So I stopped and continued reading the Echoes. And then it started to rain. Good thing that I did not dry my clothes outside…well I guess I better finish the book since nothing much can be done, no Astro and no free friend on YM to chat…

Last month we went to Muzium Negara after like 2 decades since our last visit. It was after we went to present some demo to a potential client that we decided to visit Muzium Negara. I really hate trying to find ways in the KL since we were really, really blur about roads in KL. Despite all the unknown roads and wrong turning we still managed to reach the destination. We even had lunch at Muzium Negara canteen…hahahha..

It was like one hour before the closing time and we had to rush from one gallery to another. I really don’t remember how the arrangement was back then in 1990s but I can see a lot of things interesting to capture the eyes of tourists to Malaysia. It covers almost all the aspect of life in Malaysia especially the gallery of Malaysian Faces. I would really recommend anybody who is interested to learn about Malaysian Culture and People to visit Muzium Negara.

Muzium Negara also has an additional gallery called Galeri Emas where ongoing exhibition like the Tulisan Jawi was stationed at that time. The Galeri Emas exhibits everything related to gold making, gold usage in Malaysia, it even has a big throne with bunga telur emas. I did not have enough time to read each and every information but overall I like my visit to museum. Perhaps next time we should wake up early in the morning, go to Muzium Negara again and spend more time reading all the informative details…hahahha…

Org lain kena Monday Blues, tapi aku hari ni rasa nak Wednesday Blues plak..mungkin sebab hujan di tengahari la buat mood berubah-ubah. Ye la mula2 bukan main panas lagi, nak bukak mata tgk jalan pon pedih, alih2 hujan pulak..

hari ni pulak dah berlatih bangun lagi awal dari selalu, hari ni cuba kul 11 pagi, esok awal lagi sejam..sebab Sabtu nak kena bangun dlm kul 8-9, susah jadi aku ni, org berdunia siang hari, aku start hidup petang sampai ke dinihari..time keje ikut UK time dulu, pukul 1 baru celik mata sebab masuk keje pukul 3, org pukul 12 mlm dah masuk tido, time tu aku baru nak balik keje..

sesuai la sebab aku mmg bukan morning person..tapi sampai bila nak hidup mcm tu..bila dah jadi home based entrepreneur ni lagi la menjadi2 gila time tido, tido pukul 4 pagi bangun kul 3 ptg, mengadu kat Hubby badan rasa letih, kepala pon pening, mana tak pening dah tido 11 jam, mengalahkan baby pulak..hahaha..

so aku berazam la start pegi kelas sabtu pagi sepanjang April ni, aku pon nak cuba la jadi manusia yang normal, tapi tak best la hidup di siang hari ni, cuaca panas, nanti cepat lapar…hahaha…mlm sejuk dan sunyi, byk ilham dan semangat..hahaha..alasan…
