A Homemaker’s Diary

I’m finally be able to move to my own domain after more than a year in blogspot. And I have to say that the moving is made possible with the help of my husband…heheheh…for those still stuck in beta blogger mode and could not find the right way to transfer all your posts, pictures and comments, please check this link on how to

Dont ask me any technical question, ask the man who wrote the scripts…

This week (actually starting from last weekend) is such a hectic week for me to complete..another round of task to complete by Friday and then hopefully I can take a good rest until year end…

These are the new colorful kon mengkuang that supplier sent to me, actually the client would like to have 250 pcs of natural color for majlis berkhatan for her son and nephews… but since in my stock there’s only 127, I have to take the colorful mengkuang to complete the order. Nevertheless the order and the ordeal to sew all 250 pcs of mengkuang cone has been successfully completed today at 2pm..I had a sewing marathon this morning from 9am till 2pm, and it couldn’t be worse as about 60pcs of the colorful mengkuang pieces were so thick, i had to use a plier to take hold of the needle…huhuhuhu…but I managed to complete all and packed the items, posted using poslaju before 4pm and the payment was already in my bank account…heheheh..all the hard work was paid on time…

Seriously though my index finger and thumb were numb and painful after the sewing ordeal, not to mention about 10 minor needle accident, I just feel so happy and relieved that I managed to complete the order and deliver it on time. Just hope that the customer is happy and satisfied with the products and hope that the event will go smoothly.

Now I have to take a good nite rest and continue with my last order for the year (hopefully), the client is coming back from Ireland for her wedding this Friday and will be collecting all the items and the wedding costume ( oh, I do wedding costume rental now..but on exclusive basis only..), can’t wait to attend her wedding in Pahang and see how well the kebaya labuh suits her…heheheh..and not to forget the DSLR photo taking practice that will be taken place during the ceremony…

Will update on my bunga telur making class soon…maybe after I come back from another client’s wedding in Johor this weekend..till then have a great week ahead to all my readers…take care!

It was a great weekend, minus the tiring team building activity which I happened to be the unofficial photographer for the team..hahaha..not bad after all the quality of the pictures taken using DSLR Nikon D50, it was my first time capturing pictures (lots actually) using the gadget..

but these two pictures were taken using my humble Sony T30..easy to hold, and can be placed back inside my giant handbag with less hassle..

The beach was extremely hot, but I did miss the chance to snap the pic of one Mat Saleh lady sun bathing topless on the beach..maybe she thinks it’s Club Med where almost everywhere people go topless…but the macik2 and pacik mat saleh just look gross with everything melendut and out of shape..hahaha

The food was up to 5 star standard too, except the fruits they said not sweet enough..maybe because the rainy season..but who cares, eat something that pulau authentic, those watermelon and pineapple definitely were transferred from the mainland..and that’s why we went out to nearby laksa stall on the beach (outside the hotel area), somewhere nearby the now close for renovation Anna and The King palace..and pekena 2 pinggan laksa..nyam nyam..

We went to cable car and hubby was gayat like crazy, cursing not to come to Langkawi ever again because his nutty wife forced him to go up the Gunung Mat Chincang..heheheh…well, after all it’s once in the lifetime experience..dah tua2 kena heart attack jgn harap la nak naik cable car tgh hutan tu…

Oh, the shopping experience though dgn bajet dan masa yg tak mengizinkan, still going on quite well…i still manage to borong coklat, kain batik, baju langkawi as souvenirs, though the queen anne set that I was aiming to buy for bungatelur.com biz not available…maybe all surirumah who go to langkawi beli set2 caserol..emm.. I did compare the price of Vantage…the tea set here is RM599, there around RM450 only..RM150 cheaper but then once angkut on flight sure kena excess baggage fine..perhaps if I go again nak beli set corningware, mmg murah tapi tgk pon dah tau berat tahap2 gaban nak angkut…have to go by ferry la next time, our plan nak turun langkawi tapi transit kat perlis dulu..after shopping boleh pegi sambung spree kat padang besar pulak..that’s our next year vacation cum shopping spree plan…ahahhaha

Hubby managed to get one topi koboi corak2 askar at the oriental village, it was damn hot that day, i was planning nak naik gajah kat oriental village tu..tapi mabuk turun dari cable car terus mati semangat..hahaha, then few hours sebelum naik flight balik we sempat singgah kat jetty point shopping complex beli satu lagi beg besar nak sumbat coklat and baju kotor…lalu jugak kat one shopping area kat tgh bandar, nearby City Bayview, masuk kedai Hj Ismail Group, tambah coklat and kain batik lagi..sempat lagi sambar sehelai towel besar RM8, huhuhu..menyesal beli selai je..patut amik 2-3 lai..then we rush to the airport to catch the flight…the best part kastam tak check pon..hubby dah menyesal beli 5 karton rokok je..patut beli 10 karton sumbat dlm beg besar tu..

overall, though langkawi tak de la heaven sgt for shopping in terms of baju2 or branded stuffs tapi still ada la something yg boleh di beli…hahahha…tolak tambah all the penat angkut brg and panas mentari pulau, i think still boleh beli lagi brg2 kat KL ni…unless it’s an all expense paid trip like this one, maybe worth it la nak angkut all the Corelle, Queen Anne set, Vision and Corningware tu..but for guys nak angkut beli apa? if you are non smoker, beli coklat je la..kain pelikat pon tak de la murah sgt..hahahha..oh..you can buy baju Naruto and Black Masked Rider for your kids and cutlery set for your wife…
