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…

Alas Dulang Biru Firus

with one comment

I wonder what we call this blue, biru kain sekolah menengah my friend said…hahaha..not too good to be commercialised as..so I’m going to call it as biru firus, too many blue tone to differentiate and named after..well this is what I’ve done with it, trying my hands to do alas dulang, next I’m going to jahit all the labuci and beads, but that only after I buy the thread with the same color…you can’t expect white thread to go with all the blue labuci and beads, though in extreme cases it does not look that weird..

After I’m done with this alas dulang, I’m going to create bunga dulang to go with all the gubahan hantaran..but that will be after I complete all the bunga telur orders..

Thinking about these orders made me regret going to Nilai 3, it was damn hot on Saturday, and despite all the searching I could not find what I want, and the price of all the ribbons and materials for bunga telur there was much much higher than I expected. At least I have satisfy my curiosity by going there, lesson learned, no more trip to Nilai 3 for bungatelur.com…hehehe..

Well, that’s it for weekend report. Will type latest update soon. Tata!

I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing

without comments

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we’re together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

I don’t wanna miss one smile
I don’t wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
‘Cause I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

Don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don’t wanna miss a thing

Karipap Sardin, Anyone?

without comments

Sorry people, these karipap sardin pics were taken about 2 months ago masa time tgh rajin nak buat karipap…hahaha…now I feel like eating karipap sardin tapi letih mengenangkan kena uli tepung etc, then cili kering mesin pon dah habis dlm stok peti ais…well, kena tunggu keje2 membuat bunga telur biru selesai la jawabnya, baru adventure in the kitchen can begin…

I still wonder what did I do wrong in my pastry puff tu, everytime I try to do karipap pusing, the doh yg ada margarine tu sah2 jadi terlebih margarine then bila gelek dgn pencanai dia lekat kat board…eerkkkk…bila letak margarine skit nanti tepung tu tak nak bercantum plak…last2 gelek semua campor dua jenis doh tu, jadi la whatever type of karipap pastry, dah tak pusing2 lagi dah rupanya..janji buleh masuk mulut, mkn…hahahha..

Emmm…..I’m off to downstairs, nak tgk Wanita Hari Ini sambil sambung buat bunga telur, nak make sure bila Karnival Sure Heboh kat Nilai 3 tu, time org nak pi shopping brg keje kawin ni la diorang pon nak buat Sure Heboh…hishh..rimas sungguh kalau ramai org and jln jammed…till later ok…bestnya mkn karipap sardin, nyam nyam…

50 And Going Strong

with 2 comments

As promised to Siett, here is the picture of the first 50 blue bunga pahar…

from my point of view, if instead of telur, we put blue potpourri inside the net will be much better..potpourri boleh simpan lama, kalau telur kena makan cepat2..ahaks…

I think I should find bigger and taller pahar, so that nampak lebih mengembang bila cucuk bunga2 yg rimbun mcm ni…not sure whether they sell any other size than the standard one…have to survey for this one…
