Just a little DIY - Coin Jar

Since I have lots of empty jars in the kitchen, let us re-use them into something useful! I'm using it to put coin changes.

You can use any type of jars. Mine was from Australian Honey and the label was pretty easy to remove. 

Wipe the glass surface clean. Get ready your colouring materials. You can use acrylic paint or markers. I'm using Sharpie brand for that.

And go on! Paint/scribble anything you like. :)

Back side - some dots and flowers

Front - Wordings

With coins

Have fun! ^_^

Oh noes!! Less than 3 days left! *faints* Updates: 6th June.

The nervous-time is back! ACG Kyanime 2012!!!

Assalammualaikum and Ohayo!

Recently I have been busy making my cosplay costume and props. Can't really say i managed to get through even 30% of it, because, i never made any huge weapon prop before. @_@
And another big tasks are making a bolero and armor... *faints* I still haven't buy the accessories to make the things done. Went to Kenyalang last 2 weeks but unfortunately the shop didn't open. ;_;
And all of the process are using hand sewing method! *dies*

And for those of you who wondered why am I panicking...it's because...it's just only a week before Kyanime 2012! *nervous*

8th to 10th June!!

This year, I won't be cosplaying for 3 days though...only one day. Either on Saturday or Sunday.

For the rest of the days, I'll be dressing up in Lolita attires. :)

This is because...my friends and I are opening a booth for our project blog, The Dolly Carnet!
We are going to display our dolls and Lolita fashion, as well as some TDCs' handmade merchandise for sale. ^^ We even have a homemade manga/comic. Go buy, onegaishimasu!! XD

Very nervous! I even wonder what our booth will turn out like. Haha! XD
It's kinda hard to prepare since all of us are far away and separated by busy life.
I'm just hoping that it will turn out cute like this:

Uuuuuu.... How I wish!!! 

Maybe not now due to our budget constraint. But one fine day! *prays*

Just as long as we get to educate the public about Doll collecting hobby and Lolita Fashion. ^_^

Anyway, pray and curse all the best for us and everyone in Kyanime 2012!
Do visit The Dolly Carnet for more info about our doll collecting hobby and the booth information. :)

Hope to see everyone at our booth and Kyanime at the Hills soon! ^o^
Don't forget to introduce yourself! XD

Thepoplook.com ~ You're making my heart melt!

 Assalammualaikum and Good day minna-san~!

After married, I've been eating 'regularly' till I gotten a bit... chubby. LOL. Therefore, I'm very particular in my outfit nowadays. I still can fit my old baby tee but they've been kinda snug-ish to me. I don't feel comfortable. :(

So then, I always look up for baggy but flamboyant and timeless piece of clothing (to hide that extra tyres). Hehehe! Therefore, one of my fave style would be Maxi dress!

Anyway, I've been lurking around this website Thepoplook.com for quite a while. Indeed such a heart melt! *drools* The gorgeous styles, fine materials, and the postage is free for anywhere in Malaysia! *___*
But...right now I can't spend anything yet since I'm jobless and need to keep my savings for my surgery, so I just share the goodness from ThePoplook.com . ^_^

My fave 'berangan' coordinate would be:

Polka Chiffon Maxi Dress

Green                                                   Light Pink

Photo Credits: Thepoplook.com

Either Green or Pink. Both are darlings! I love the green one, but the pink dress is super sweet!! 

Ya know~ tetiba teringin to dress up something girlish and manja on a date with husband.  

Oh my...feel so malu to say that, because I never dolled up myself for him except for jeans and shirt (and for Lolita gathering). I know he doesn't mind, but somehow I wish I can one day. :)

Bo Peep Cropped Top

By MinkPink

Then for the outer layer, I love this white cropped top by MinkPink! The layers and scallops are adorable! It even have cute eyelets details at the hem. *kyaa!!* It is currently sold out on the website, but I hope ThePoplook will restock this design soon. ^^ 

And if you like something not see-through and longer, just pair up the chiffon maxi dress with white, nude or beige coloured cardigan. Or be bold with black blazer! :) 

Block Party Headband

Light Pink By Sereni & Shentel

Photo Credits: Thepoplook.com

Well, you can't leave your hair without this beauty! Simple yet feminine... *o* As I adore the accessories from Sereni & Shentel, ThePoplook also carry them in the website! This headband would perfectly match the Pink Chiffon Maxi dress and the white cropped top coordinate, don't you think? ^_^ Gotta find something with nude, beige or black if you're using those colours as the outer layer or accessories!

Ahhh~~~ I can only dream~~ *___*

Maybe I can achieve my dream one day. Teehee! :D

Ducati Multistrada Borneo Experience - Day 4

28th November 2011.

That early morning not remembering that it was a holiday, I woke up to get ready my husband's work things. Luckily he asked, "What are you doing? Ironing my shirt on a holiday? o_O"

So yay!! We got the chance to see the flag-off session of the Ducati Multistrada Convoy! XD

Since it was a holiday, there were lots of parking space available. *winks*

On to the pictures!

At RH Hotel entrance.

A quick briefing session.

Spotted Chloe!

Pretty lady, representatives from SHELL and Dato'.

Doa and prayer for safety in the journey.

This Abang Macho from Kuching striked a pose. :D

His bike and helmet is so colourful and artistic!

I'll probably inside this van if I were joining the adventure. :P

And I managed to get the video of the flag-off too!

But they were shaky, so forgive me...I ain't no professional videographer. Only using mobile phone. ^^;;

Part 1 - The Preparation

Part 2 - The flag-off by YBhg. Dato' Tiong Thai King. 

Inside the videos, you can see Chloe and Nigel. Hehe. XD

That was a fun experience for me even though I didn't get to join the convoy. Hopefully we can get to see more Ducati events soon! ^_^

Day 3 - In Sibu

Ducati Multistrada Borneo Experience - Day 3

It was on 27th November, and I was getting ready early to see the Convoy in action in Sibu! :D
Was told to meet up at Rafi Cafe at 8pm according to the itenary sent in my email, but I was there since 7.30pm. But there were nobody there. My husband only dropped me there and himself went to the PC Fair. *cicadas sound* Then I contacted Chloe & Sherrie as I was very "blur" about the situation. Then Chloe said to meet up in RH Hotel instead. So i guess the dinner location was changed to RH Hotel. i quickly called my husband to pick me up, and luckily there were NOTHING to see at the PC Fair Sibu so he can pick me up quickly. :P

Upon our arrival at RH Hotel, ahhhh!!! There were no more parking! Cars parked everywhere (See? Sarawak people are rich. LOL) including the illegal parking. Mr Husband, assuming that we will be attending the dinner quickly, has decided to park illegally. **DO NOT DO THIS. THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES AFTERWARD. PLEASE READ UNTIL FINISH**


Finally my husband and I met Chloe at the lobby. She's a very bubbly person. XD
Then, we went up to Level 3 for the dinner session. And on to the pics!

A sign at the elevator.

The front hall.

The hall was located at the pool side. :)

Fresh flowers! *_*

My food. Yea, only took a bit cause I already had mine at home.

Thought only having teh tarik at Rafi Cafe, but yeah, changed of plans. XD

The Stage.

Participants of the 10-days Borneo adventure!

Anybody recognise them? 

"Jangan biarkan hidup anda diselubungi... misteri" Okay, I just HAD to say that. xD

They were from TV3. 

The "Misteri Nusantara" Guy was actually talking to Chloe. 

Indeed funny moments that time. :P

Cake anyone?

Thank you so much RH Hotel!

Chloe and I get to bring back these lovelies!

Teehee! We get the chance to see the bikes personally.

The 'iPad' for Ducati. xD

Encik Nazrin Khan gave a briefing about the Multistrada 1200 to Chloe.

Cool lights! *_*

This is Monsterrrr!!! Me rikey!! *________*

Mr. Husband. So chibi... :P

Ah yeah...I know...inside his heart he probably said, "DAMN! My dream bike!"

Cool lower parts.

Chloe as the runaway bride. 

Men talk.

Ducati

Cool 'clan' name. xD

The rim.

Chloe. :3

And finally...my time to get on the Multistrada. 

I just want to say my face is actually almost the same like the cartoon by this time.

Tersengih-sengih.

After that 'private session', we bid goodbye to Chloe~~ ;_; Nice to meet you dear!

And...about the illegal parking...we got a Summon fine... T_______T
First time doing illegal parking, and already kena the 'unlucky' ticket. So people, DO NOT park illegally.
RM150 flew~~~ oTL Sayangi duit anda.

Okay, next post, Day 4 - The flag off to Bintulu!

Day 4 - In Sibu The Flag-off.

Birthday ice-cream cupcakes!

Goodbye November, and Hello December! :D

Assalammualaikum & good day!

Alhamdulillah the weather is sunny right now in Sibu, and before i'm doing my laundy i better update my blog with the post that was meant to be posted on 16th November. LOL.

On last 15th November, which was my birthday, i tried to make my own birthday cupcakes. And the most challenging thing is i don't even have an electrical mixer and a baking oven.

And i only get to use a FORK for beating!

Pic credits: http://isplotchy.blogspot.com

And this for baking!

As for the muffin, i just used Vanilla muffin recipe that i found online. At first i want to make a buttercream icing however after beating the muffin's batter, i gave up. LOL.
And now, onto the process...

Beating the butter and granulated sugar. 

Smells nice as i love eating these with breads! *_*

And now with eggs. 

The texture doesn't look good as the butter and sugar 

did not get enough beatings.

After getting some essence, milk, baking powder and flour.

After that, i just put the batter inside cups according to 2/3 of your cup.

And bake it inside the cooking ware that have been warmed up.

 Just simply put them inside and no i didn't use steam method this time. 

Will try that next time.

So yeah, this is how they look like after baking. 

Lots of air bubbles i think, and they don't get fluffy like muffins always do. :/

Since they're kinda 'bare', so i decided to pump up some strawberry jam inside.

Since the muffin already have holes, so it is easy for me. :P

Squeeze in any amount you like. 

People will find the surprise when they took a bite. ;)

With normal muffin, one squeeze of jam is enough i think?

But i have sweet tooth, so no problemo if i put more! X3

Since it was tiring to beat up for the icing, so i put ice-cream on the muffins.

Sorry, the ice-cream kinda melting since i just used the cheap brand.

You can decorate with anything that you like. :)

So ta-daa!! My Raspberry ice-cream cupcake!!! XD

Overall satisfaction, 50-50. i need to do better next time. :)

Hoping for an oven & a mixer soon!
