My simple and easy craft project

To camouflage with English country concept, there must be at least some white colour added to your decoration. I got 3 ceramic plates that i bought previously but i don't like the pictures on them. So i've sprayed them white and it turned up quite smooth but slippery. I wanted to do the painting on it myself (huh..macam terror je) but Luthien, (you should go to her blog and check out the marvaleous stuff she made..i really adore her works) adviced me not to as the colour will not stick on it if the surface is slippery. So i decided to decoupage them.

The ceramics plate that i've sprayed to white colour..

These are the decals that I bought online..not many stocks available so i was left with no choice..

Unfortunately the decal is too small for the plate, so I've to put it aside.....

I searched in the kitchen and found this tin teapot that was rusted ouside and looked quite ugly (the before picture is missing..i cannot locate it anywhere). Lucky that i still keep it..actually i don't like throwing things as i know that i would need it someday..my habit proof me right, isn't it.....
I sprayed it white with the leftover spray from the ceramic plates and pasted the decal...walla..don't you think it looks cute now ....hehe..

I found this cute shoe at one of the stores in KK ..inexpensive one..so I glued it on one of the ceramics and hanged it on the stair, it looks quite plain though..i think it need some writing or small flowers around it..don't you think soo..

That shoe above looked very much similar with this one..isn't it..My friend bought this from Holland, it frequently fall down from its stand and before it breaks i glued it on...u guest what ...A CHOPPING BOARD..hahaha...and hanged it on the wall...nobody knew and nobody asked...

Sunday Morning at Gaya Street

Today we decided to go to the barber shop to cut my son's hair. My hubby won't be around next week and me except on 1st january will be at school for meeting, registering and other stuff (RPT kena hantar dan RPH utk first day sch. pun kena hantar dah) terukkan ...rasa2 mcm mau pindah kat remote area kalau mcm ni..but susahlah dah beli rumah kat sini..plus many other commitments.... Anyway pagi tadi we all went to tamu putatan first..kat sana byk Malay delicacies...on the way to Gaya Street sempat makan kuih2 yg dibeli...

sejak duduk KK memang kat sinilah selalu potong rambut my son (my hubby too) dah kenal la dengan all the barbers there..this shop terletak kat Gaya Street..kecil je kedainya..tapi YB pun potong rambut kat sini you...memang experiencelah dia punya barbers..satisfaction always guaranteed ..lebih2 pulak promote kedai tu, macamlah ada share pulak....on the way nak balik I sempat jugalah ambil gambar apa2 yg dijual kat gaya st tu..orang ramai betul hari ni, the weather pulak so damn hot..so i just snapped from the sidewalk aje..

ada jual anak2 ayam, itik dan burung.....
Kucing pun dijual..ni jenis American Short Hair..ribu2 harganya..idok le mampu nak membelinya...pegang2 jelah..

kat satu gerai tu jual banyak kaktus..dah banyak kali beli..yg hidup lama kaktus yg biasa2 je ..yg exortic tu tak lama buang duit je beli...

Beg jenis begini banyak dijual, sesuai untuk yg ada anak2 kecil..cikgu2 pun ramai bawa beg gitu untuk isi buku2 .... I pun bawa beg ni..hehehe...tu yg gambar yg atas..the first one..sejibik sama dgn my bag...
Nak snap gambar gerai yg jual segala jenis gelang, rantai, brooch ,mutiara dan manik yg orang kata tak sah lah kalau dtg Sabah tak beli tu semua, tapi ke dalam pulak gerainya..malas nak mencelah2 kat org ramai....so tunggu next time...

kahwin lagik...

Rasa2nya nilah majlis kahwin untuk penutup tahun 2008..ye lah sekolah pun dah nak reopen..after meeting kat sekolah tadi (sekolahku dah start first meeting) my hubby and I ke majlis kahwin ni di Kinarut..pengantin lelaki tu related dgn hubby...Kami sampai lewat sikit..meeting habis pukul 11.15 gitu..balik rumah lagi bersiap..ni dah rasa mcm datang En Migraine..aku bawa2 jer tulis post ni ..kot2 reda ..hehe..boleh ke..ada ambil gambar dgn h/p ciput tu..kamera digital tak baiki lagi, aku suruh hubby dia suruh aku last2 dok kat situ lah kamera tu...bukan senang nak parking kat KK tu kalau pi sorang2 bang oiii, mau 10 kali pusing belum tentu dpt parking..apa2 pun layan jelah gambar pengantin....

Suasana kat majlis tadi..masa ni dah habis makan dah dok tenguk pengantin berposing

Banyak sgt cameraman, entah mana2 lah pengantin ni tenguk

Awat baju tak berapa sedondon ni....tgh berposing utk kamera besar tu

Ni on the way ....suker tenguk pemandangan kat sini, nampak pulau2 kecil kat laut

Perkahwinan suku kaum Bajau lagi..

Last saturday..20/12..we attended another Bajau wedding..but in a much simpler way. My hubby is like a god father to the bridegroom...he alone converted to Islam since he was in std 3 but not his family... somehow he managed to get all his family except one of his brother to convert after last Hari Raya, amin...my husband's relative acted as keluarga angkat to him since then..and my hubby helps in any possible ways...i still remember when my hubby sent him to UMS(University Malaysia Sabah) for registeration, he asked my hubby to turn back home as he was so scared..but my hubby won't let him..he has graduated a year ago and currently working as a teacher at his hometown..good for him..now he is married to also UMS graduate hail from Kota Belud..

seven cars konvoi to the bride's place..all of them are from Kudat except us..from KK

We met at this warung..this is one of the typical Bajau warung found along the roadside...i ate goreng pisang panas and teh tarik while waiting for them...

This is the name of the bride's kampung...

The akad nikah ceremony...everbody were ready to witness it..ops..no,no wait you have to follow our adat...

Haaa..according to our adat..you all have to stand up..and it is done in that way...mau lagi kecut pengantin...

Pak pong..pak pong...now the bersanding time..macam budak2 lagi pengantin ni..they were way too young..

Like my last post on Bajau wedding..it is a must to have this handmade cloth hanging at their house during the wedding day...

i had a hard time trying to upload all the pictures..couldn't get through..and i've to redo it so many time..do you?

Gambar scoobydoo kena kembiri

As promised, i post gambar2 my cat..scoobydoo kena operate that day..tapi entah macam mana tinggal 2 keping je..tak faham lah, dah transfer guna bluetooth, then bila transfer gambar lain gambar lama byk hilang...sekarang setiap kali aku transfer cepat2 aku send ke folder my picture..okaylah..


first proses....kena inject ubat penenang..kesihan aku tenguk sampai muntah2 dia..then duduk tak bermaya nak bangun (gambar ni hilang!)..masa tu ada 2 lagi kucing lain yg dikembiri ...sambil2 tunggu kami cerita2 dgn owner kucing2 yg lain...best cerita dgn org2 yg sama hobi ni...3kaum berbeza, cina, kadazan dan melayu...

second proses...dibawa masuk dlm bilik..injection lagi..kali ni supaya pengsan..ini aku pass kat hubby, aku seriau...dah pengsan baru aku ambil gambar..(gambar ni pun hilang)...

Then..third one...operation..ni pun aku tak sanggup tenguk, cepat2 ambil gambar dan lari keluar..tenguk gambar blurr sikit...




Dah selesai...masih lagi unconcious....bawa balik ...petang baru bangun..tu pun terhoyong hayang macam org mabuk...next day baru okay...takut betul tenguk dia dok gigit2 benang kat perut tu..dah dijahitkan kain penutup..dia gigit sampai tercabut...huh cat...

Baru dapat update

dah dekat seminggu tak blh update...dah give up dah...ingat lepas xmas nak p celcom tanya kenapa , try masuk kat comment box di blog LG tadi dapat pulak....banyak nak update nih...tunggu esoklah kalau rajin, now dah nak tidurrrr

dekat 5 kali upload gambar tak dapat..benci betul...so gambar later....

Jom tenguk 'scoobydoo' kena 'kembiri'

Sapa yg tak ada kucing atau yg malas ambil tau pasal kucing mesti tak tau apa tu 'kembiri' kan..kembiri ialah...operatation yg dilakukan kepada kucing supaya tak beranak..bukan kucing betina saja, kucing jantan pun perlu dikembiri supaya tak cari kucing betina dan tak kencing merata2...jgn risau..benda ni dibolehkan mengikut hukum agama..kalau tak teruklah kucing2 tu asyik beranak je, tuan dia lagi teruk kucing asyik bertambah je..tak delah org mau pelihara kucing..kucing yg boleh dikembiri mesti berumur 6 bulan ke atas...mesti puasa juga sebelum operation the next day tu..sama mcm org juga...So my scooby doo sudah buat oppointment utk kembiri rabu lepas sebab dah umur 6 bulan..itupun dia dah mula bising2 'kahwin' dgn kucing neighbour 2,3 hari sebelum..tp masih boleh kembiri asalkan belum pregnant..jom kita tenguk gambar2 sepanjang proses kembiri scooby doo..

My Kitties

Let me introduce you to all my domestic cats and the story behind it...


Ini dah 10 tahun bersama kami..masa tu duduk rumah sewa lagi..ada anak jiranku yg sgt nakal, dia ikat kucing tu pada basikal dan kayuh basikal tu..terjerit2 aku dr rumah..cepat2 suruh my children pegi ambil kucing tu,asalnya memanglah stray cat. So from that time onward, kami pelihara dan namanya Tiger, sebab bulunya kuning/orange like tiger..tenguklah dia tidur tu, tak sopan langsung..tapi dia kucing yg paling baik, sabar dan tak banyak kerenah..cool je.

Ni pulak lahir kat rumah kami..maknya dtg ke rumah dgn perut boyot, kesian pula..so bagi makan dan terberanak kat rumah, ada 6 ekor anaknya..tapi tak tahan asyik buang poo merata2 tempat, pening kepala so kami hantar ibu dan anak2 kat kawasan pasar di Likas, ada satu ekor tak jumpa cari..esuknya dengar mengiau2 dan menggigil kat dalam kotak...terpaksalah pelihara dan bagi nama cicir..hehehe..tenguklah bulunya macam2 warna yg hancur2 dan ada 3 segi kat kepalanya..

Yang ni datang rumah kami tahun 2004..masa tu kecil lagi, jerit2 kat luar rumah..sesat agaknya..aku letak kat belakang rumah supaya maknya dengar dia jerit..tak ada juga dtg, letak kat depan rumah pun tak ada dtg..agakny kena abandoned kat mak dia kot..so terpaksalah pelihara..mula2 bagi nama lain..lupa dah apa..then malam tu mimpi ada seorang lelaki yg dah berumur gak suruh bagi nama tomi..agaknya tuan punya kucing tu kot,tak familiar pun mukanya, dia pun tak introduce sapa dia..hehehe..so bagi nama tomi.

Yg ni..kisah dia tak sedih..my dotter took her fr her friend's house..mula2 dtg nakal sangat2..nama Scooby Doo..sampai vet. tanya kenapa kucing betina nama jantan..hehehe..gasak je lah doktor..janji dia tau nama dia..aku suka personality dia..always want to be no. 1..kalau nak makan..semua lari p dapur dia akan tolak sapa2 yg dekat dia supaya dia dpt no. 1..kalau my son sepak bola..dia lari lebih laju dr bola supaya dia sampai dulu..berani pulak tu, anjing pun dia lawan.. tenguk tu org ber tenet dia pun sibuk tenguk..tu my dotter punya blog tengah masuk gambar kucing gak. (gambar lama..now she's in KL)


Ni take one free one..ibu dan anak..siibu lahirkan anak kat sekolahku, sapa2 yg kasihan bagi makan atau maknya cari makan kat kantin sekolah, anak masih baby, menyusu je..dekat cuti hari tu aku tanya semua cikgu dan cikgi sapa mau bawa balik, tak ada sorang pun yg mau..terpaksalah aku bawa balik rumah takut mati kelaparan masa cuti sekolah..
..so I end up with 6 cats..penuh rumah ..kat mana2 pun nampak kucing...Huh..penatnya mengarang..

Sunday morning at Tanjung Aru Beach

My son really loves going to the beach and we are fortunate to live just a stone away from the beach. After all it has been a long time since our last trip so we decided to take him there this morning. The weather is quite frizzy with mist of rain from the early morning..no sunshine at all. Here are the photos taken this morning...as usual, I'm using my cheap handphone to capture the beautiful view...pardon me for that...


Waterlillies found at one part of the beach
The sea view....just ignore the rubbish floating with the water..old habits die hard..you knew it..

The pile of stones to prevent sea erosion..it was not here even last yr....please save our world.....

The long beach that is exposed to the natural disaster caused by human being

The beautiful scene that healed my migraine this morning. Will it stay that way forever?
