A Homemaker’s Diary

I’ve been conducting these bunga telur making classes since last December and the outcomes were just great. I think I’m really cut for teaching..hahahha..I know sometimes I feel restless when the students take ages to complete the stuffs but I never feel fed up or frustrated. After all they are trying to grab hold of the new skills, and try to be artistic when you are 50% not used to it, is not an easy job.

I hope all my students will continue to do the bunga telur once they go home, or even do it for their own weddings or other occasion where these kind of crafts are appreciated. There’s nothing more worthwhile than having someone complimented your handcrafted work.

I finally have the chance to meet my Australian client this morning, in fact she woke me up from my morning slumber…huhuhuu..apa punya biz owner la, never thought she will come over to BungaTelur.Com place today, since in her last email she said she might be coming but she did not confirm our appointment.

We have been emailing each other since last year, and this month she came to Malaysia for wedding shopping. Most of the things she has been looking for like hantaran stands, alas dulang, and bunga pahar stands she found at Sayang You and few other wedding accessories shops in Jln TAR, only those hand made items like bunga telur and corsages, she couldn’t find the one up to her taste. When I emailed her the picture of this red and gold bunga telur, she likes the design and today she came over to pay for deposit.

The rest of the amount, we will figure out later on how to pay, whether through Paypal or Western Union. I wish Malaysians are allowed to cash out the money in their Paypal through local banks, rather than US bank account like now. Otherwise we have to resort to having debit card or open a Singapore bank account and Paypal Singapore account in order to do internet transaction and would be able to cash out the funds we have in our Paypal account. NVM, I’ll figure out how to make this works.

I’ve called the supplier for mengkuang cone and placed 600 orders. I guess my work for this year’s events start earlier than I thought. Got to go now..tata!

I was conducting my bunga telur making class on Sunday, when I heard explosive sound…even the students were surprised and they wondered about the origin of the sound. While investigating the whereabout of the sound in my living hall (which connected to the dining area), I noticed the tudung saji on the dining table was moving, like something underneath it was actually trying to move out…huhuhuhu..maybe the revenge of cicak man again, since last time a poor cicak fellow fall into my jug of soya bean..yucks….bodoh punya cicak…that time I have to wait for hubby to come back and throw out the cicak since I was too geli to handle it…yikessss…

So this time, with the tremor underneath the tudung saji, I didn’t dare to open it, called hubby upstairs to come down and do further investigation..rupa-rupanya the tempered glass cover of my Maxim pan exploded…hhuhuhuhuhu…maybe because of the air pressure inside the pan itself, plus the heat under the tudung saji….now I know even sambal sardine can kill…I cooked the sardines to make sandwiches for my students, since I was rushing that morning, I did not send the empty pot to the kitchen, left it under the tudung saji…bak kata hubby, dah nak meletup, nak buat mcm mana kan…luckily it exploded under the tudung saji, kalau dia explode in the kitchen, jadi kerja nak kutip kaca2 tu semua…

Now, my Maxim pot got no glass cover, maybe it’s calling for Tefal new pot….hahahahha…hint hint nak beli periuk baru…muahahhaha…

It’s been almost the end of second week of January and yet my last entry dated on 28Dec06..heheheh…been caught in the new year busy schedule, with my craft class into second class this weekend, product shooting for client, new design for May wedding, family obligation and normal house chores.
Wish I could take one or two days off, but it seems that everyday new venture keeps on popping up and I just hate to miss any one of them. My resolution this year is to keep on learning new things, improving on the old one and get rid of all the useless things, habits, people..hahahha..

Oh, throughout this January, I’ve been watching the Star Wars marathon over and over again..though I miss episode 4 last Sunday, will have to catch up on that next Tuesday..might be going for Entrepreneur course for 5 days so will miss rerun on episode 5 as well…huhuhuhu…

Will update whenever I manage to find time, bye for now..
