SOHO (Small Office Home Office), that would be my working area in my own bedroom itself, it is kind of messy and it is really hard to maintain a bedroom and work area all nice and neat.
The past 6 months I spend most of my time here, work and sleep all in the same small room. Thank goodness I am not claustrophobic if not I would probably gone insane. I practically eat, sleep, watch movie and work (sewing & on my laptop) all in this (9' -10" x 12' -4") room. Lucky there is no pantry in my beedroom, if not probably I will even do my cooking here too...LOL..
I guess for the past few months I have been spending extra extra time in my bedroom be it work or sleep. If I have an air-con in my bedroom probably I would stay in and not leave at all since the weather is freaking hot and hazy out there.
I wish I could have another room just for me to work and not in my bedroom where I can sleep comfortablely....
Heard of this name, Zee Avi? Yes or No, I guess it doesn't matter because now I am going to introduce her to you. Don't really know much about her but it seems like she is a Malaysian and releasing her debut album in the United States of America. I thought what so special about her, that she get to release album in the US and I did some digging in youtube and found some videos of her.
When she open her mouth to sing, she just took my breathe away, not much young people could sing like the way she does. Listen to this first song call "kantoi" it may sound funny but the song has a funny lyrics and a catchy tune. After that listen to the second MTV call "Bitter Heart" nice song.
To find out more about her you can go to her official website http://www.zeeavi.com/ to find out more about and where is she doing to perform in the US.
Enjoy!!!
Two weeks ago I made an Oreo Cheesecake and it was not really that successful as it was too jelly like and way too small. And I have decided to redo it change the recipe a bit here and there, and this time finally it look like an edible Chill Oreo Cheesecake.
Before I did this I did make another Baked Boston Cheesecake and I did not manage to take photos of it. I guess I might just make it one more time just to take photos of it and of course enjoy the cheesecake as well. Since I've not been working so I just stay at home and make dessert and who knows maybe in the future I will have a shop of my own selling desserts...LOL...
Anyway I am satisfied with this Chilled Oreo Cheesecake, will definitely do a much better one the next round as I still need to fine tune the recipe to make it taste the best.
Um....enjoying the cheesecake while I am blogging....and wondering what dessert to do next? Some suggested brownies...but I feel like doing the carrot cake with the cream cheese topping...em..yummy..
Sometimes just a simple smile and a sincere "Thank You" would make the day seems right. I am sure we pass through toll day in day out and I do met up with some toll attendant who smiles and say "thank you", it just makes me feel at ease even when I am not feel too happy. But of course you can find the most rude attendant who show you the face that you killed their whole family.
I learn from a friend who says thank you everytime he gets his change from the toll and now I do practice it myself and I feel happy about it. I think it does not hurt or used too much energy just to say "Thank you". When I was in Taiwan, the people there are so friendly compared to the ones I see here in my own country. Be it 7-Eleven or big shopping malls the staff always serves you with a smile and always greet "Welcome" when you enter and "Thank you" when you leave whether you buy anything or not. I do know for a fact that Malaysians sales tend to have those kind of look at you when you enter a store, they look at you from head to toe and start judging whether you have the money to buy or not, that is what I hate most.
But yesterday when I was shopping at Tiffany & Co. the staff there were marvelous. I just dress as casual as usual and walk in to help my friend to get a birthday present. Of course my friend gave me bunch of image to see and check out the price. And I showed all the image and the Sales Rep. actually took all the items for me to choose no question ask. Even I said I will come back after my lunch and the Sales actually waited for me to come back with a smile. This is what I call service and I guess only big companies are able to give such services compare to those "wanna be" stores.
I wonder does any other blogspot, blogger faces the same problem like I do? I can't seems to upload photo. Everytime I upload it crash and close my Google Chrome or Firefox.
I need to know what is happening and does anyone face the same problem like I do :'(
I have a lot of friends getting married and of course some already married with kids. In the process of getting married is never a simple task. To me to marry the one you love is practically marrying the whole family. In order to have a happily married life the hardest thing is to get right with your in-law, especially the mother-in-law, that is the hardest part. Once you pass the test I think everything else is an easy task.
But why is it that hard to get married to the one I love? Can't we just be happily married and move away but it is not that easy. No matter how it is still his/her parents. We can't please everyone and should be give up our happy married life over to those pain in the ass parents? This is a hard choice to make and once you did something wrong, it seems like they label you as "wrong" all the times. Marriage is between the two of us but yet we can't ignore the family members too.
Sometimes when you can't handle is the mother-in-law you are till on a save ground but the whole in-law seems to go against you, that would be a mission impossible and almost a suicidal game you are playing. And the worst is when you fell in love with someone who always listen to their parents who don't have their own opinion but yet you are deeply in love with him/her. It is hard for him/her to choose and it is hard too for the other side to stay togather or to be apart....
One of life difficult choice....it is never easy to break up with someone you love over something else...worth it? I am searching for the answer too...

With these image and simple words, it speaks all. These are the things, once it is out, it will never come back. Be wise and choose what you say to one another.Do not waste the little time we have, be fruitful the the works we do.
With the constant heat wave, no doubt forest fire is on the rise. Just few weeks back I could already smell the burn ashes smell in the air and I guess it is slowly moving towards our country. Back in August, 2005 Malaysia has the worst hit of haze and I could barely see the house opposite of mine.
Now it is back and thank goodness it is still not as bad as what you see in the photo. But just this morning I took this photo and the sun has already been covered, and these past few days the sky seems cloudy. Hopefully with the heat wave on the rise the haze are kept at bay. These few days is going to be gloomy days.~sigh~

Once a blue moon comes a very distinct singer with distinct fashion style and songs. Long ago we have Madonna and now we have Lady Gaga. All the MTV that she has release from Just Dance to Poker Face, Lovegame to Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) and now Paparazzi, you can see all the different sense of fashion style that somehow fits her where I don't think it look good on anyone else. And she is no dumb blond which sorry to say I thought she was, and what suprises me is she does plays the piano and sing on a so call home video kind of thingy....OMG!!! Since that home video I change my perception towards her.
Here is a video which has been remove from YouTube for our region, I guess it because "they" think it is explicit to be viewed in this region. Thanks to my friend fast thinking, he manage to download it before it was removed from YouTube, Malaysia region. Have fun watching it ;)
It has been months I have not step into gym and finally today make a point to go and the familiar, face are no longer there but the familiar sight and sound never change but i do realise some of the machine have moved slightly that is all.
That is nothing but what suprises me was that, my stamina dropped tremendously. My usual routine on the cardio and weight machine have dropped. I think it is going to take me few months again to go back to my normal workout routine.
But anyway at least it is a start and I have no idea how long I'm going to keep it this way again till I give up again. Anyway my membership expired in September or October, might as well fully utilise it before it expires.
Yes, some of you knows that I have been busy and yet at the same time still looking for a full time job. What am I busy with? I have been busy setting up my online shop and getting my products ready to be sold online. It is definitely a challenging job for me to this online shop started and I thank my business partners for making my life easy and making it happen.
It was definitely through trials and errors that we learned and pick up something new as we go along in what we do. I am sure there are definitely more space for improvement but give us some time and we will definitely assure that we will not disappoint those who supports us.
And to those of you who do not know what I will be selling online, and let me tell you. It is going to be throw cushions, from various sizes from 18" x 18" to 12" x 19" and 30" x 30". It actually took us more time then what we expected to get everything ready. And I am going to show you some of the cushions that will be put on my Living Tapestry website to sell, which is still not operational yet. But don't worry, once the online store opens, I will definitely inform everyone.
I am going to leave you some image of what I will be selling in Living Tapestry online store.
Everybody is busy,
seems like I'm so damn free,
When you're damn free,
and nobody seems to care.
Where are you,
am I really that annoying?
All I need is just some time,
that is all I'm asking.
When I need you,
you are no where to be found.
If one fine day I just vanished
will you miss me or wonder why?
~kenong~
