Blue Theme On The Plate

with 3 comments

Today, I’m much,much productive compared to the past few days.

I managed to do bunga dulang as per example bought in Fah Lean on Sunday. The size is quite small to be used as bunga dulang. Will have to modify later to make it bigger.

Then I changed the design on the round glass again due to request.

While watching Charmed I try to do the towel. Have been planning to do the blue towel into gubahan buah-buahan . It looks not bad after all.

Soap In A Glass

with 2 comments

Another masterpiece for glass souvenir, this time in the glass I put a love shaped blue soap wrapped in silver net, adorned with blue pot pourri around it.

The round, 10.5cm tall glass is decorated with ribbon, organza and royal blue thick lace lined with silver . I minimized the usage of blue organza shape as fan this time because I want to emphasize on the elegance of the simplicity of this glass.

That’s the close up pic of the love shaped blue soap. There is also another option to use blue scented candle.

Sims2 Nightlife

with 2 comments

Another trip to Low Yat yesterday, at last we managed to change the 1GB notebook RAM to 2 pieces of 512MB. Though there was a slight difference in price, it should be RM25.00 cheaper but what to do since it was our fault. Nevertheless, I was happy that at least Hubby can have what he wants.

I was looking around for Sims2 University but it seems that now they have platinum extended edition, with Christmas Party Pack and Night Life. I was behind all these gaming progress so I was not really sure whether this was the latest in Sims 2 range.

Will have to find time to discover what’s new in this extended edition. Spent few hours last nite with Sims 2 Nightlife but since my Sims have a baby so it was hard for them to go out and enjoy night life. I guess I have to create new Sims who is still single and available with Popularity as aspiration in life. The couple I created last nite has family as aspiration and what they really want is to have 6 grandchildren and marry off 6 children. Yet they are still struggling to raise one child, not to forget that they need to expand the house to accomodate the other 5 children they intend to have…hahahha…

Well enough of this game, back to reality and I have a messy living hall to clear since tomorrow night I might have visitors coming over. I wonder where to put all my bunga telur stuffs which have been lying around on the carpet for ages. Aarrgghhh..I hate cleaning up…

Whose new PC?

with 3 comments

Talking about impulsive buying…Wednesday I went to send order of bunga telur to my friend in TPM, since Hubby was on leave, we decided to go to Sunway. He was looking for additional RAM for his notebook. After a bowl of Vietnamese Beef Noodle and a slice of Mango Delight at Secret Recipe, I was feeling upbeat and energetic enough to go round the IT centre, except for the damn shoes that always make my feet hurts.

The 1GB one piece DDR was not available in Sunway Pyramid. So I made some wise decision to go to Low Yat…hahaha..in the car we decided that I should upgrade my 4-year old PC. Buy new motherboard, graphic card, since I can still use my old processor, RAM etc.

But what happened in Low Yat was a different story. Since Hubby was not sure what type of motherboard could go with my old processor, you see we were not well prepared this time, usually the trip for IT buying will only happen after thorough research on what type, what brand, what specs etc..so I made additional impulsive decision to simply buy another processor to go with the mobo, and 1GB RAM to go with my new CPU, hahahha…and Hubby was thrilled since there was a 1GB one piece DDR for his notebook.

At last we reached home and Hubby realized that his notebook could not support that one piece 1GB DDR. Pity him! I too forgot that certain notebook could only support 256MB and 512MB. Well it’s OK. It will be another trip this evening to Low Yat to exchange that 1GB to 2 pieces of 512MB DDR. Hopefully we can exchange that.

Oh, my PC is running fine and I am finally able to move the Sims. For all the years I’ve been wanting to play the Sims2 without much problem, I realized that I’m not into it anymore. Now that I have a strong PC and better graphic card to support all these gaming frenzy, I will go hunting for new game next time.

Thanks Hubby for my new PC. I sure consider it as an early birthday gift from you….an additional one would be appreciated too..muahahaha…
