LOGO BNM - satu konspirasi?

Terkejut bila terbaca satu forum yang mengatakan logo kijang BNM bukan kijang ..

tapi ada yang mendakwa sebagai anjing firaun


hmmm..betul kah..nampak meyakinkan..kalau nak ikutkan hujjah mereka mana ada kijang ekor panjang...betul jugak tu...cuma kalu mereka tanya pada yang arif mungkin x menjadi keliru macamni..
asalnya logo BNM ini adala dari syiling yang digunapakai di sekitar kelantan pada masa itu..tengok gambar bawah...

menurut kajian binatang yang terdapat dalam syiling ini ada kemungkinan melambangkan lembu..lihat telinga objek menyerupai tanduk...memandangkan wang ini wujud sebelum kedatangan islam (saya x pasti berkenaan ini-saya kan rujuk sumber) maka ia agak selari dengan dakwaan yang mengatakan binatang itu adalah lembu...ia juga dikaitkan dengan sejarah raja2 melayu dahulukala ytang dikatakan berasal dari muntah lembu..memandangka saya terjumpa forum yang mndakwa binatang dalam logo BNM itu anjing maka saya terus menulis blog ini berdasarkan dari apa yang terlintas di kepala...jadi saya tidak dapat menjelaskan secara detail...saya akan cuba menulis dengan lebih detail nanti berdasarkan sumber buku dari BNM..
wasalam..kekurangan amat dikesali

FRIM

I chaperoned for a field trip with a bunch of 6 year olds to FRIM. If it were a normal malaysian pre-school, I doubt very much that parents would allow their kids to go for this sort of school trips. But, this bunch of ISKL pre-schoolers had to brave through the FRIM jungle and hiked the slippery slopes while watching out as to not trip on roots etc. Mosquitos were a real nuisance. Once I came out of the car, I had ten mosquito bites almost immediately. I thought the mosquitoes would have gone for the younger bloods surrrounding me, but I was the first to 'donate' blood. Such a horrible feeling to be bitten. I applied so much mopiko and used so many mosquito patches and mosquito repellent.

I must recommend mosquito patches to everyone. Thosw patches really work wonders. Of course, putting more
Patch was better. I 'forgot' to put on my bum, so i even had a mosquito bite on my bum. Wearing long pants also did not deter those hungry mosquitos from attacking me...... Now you know why i detest hiking trips and i would usually say no to camping/ jungle trips.

Once in the jungle, the poor little kids were also victims of the mosquitos. I felt real pity for the kids who had to stop halfway through just to scratch.

Aside from the mosquitos, the weather was really good for hiking. It was my first trip to FRIM so it was interesting to know about the 50 something year old trees in the forest reserve. We had a tour guide. But he was talking about silica and kulim tree and other things which obviously didnt catch the attention of 6 year olds. We also saw a huge fish...... I forgot the name.

After snack time, it was time to play at the waterfalls. FRIM is the closest place to KL where you will find a waterfall i guess.

Kids are adorable but taking care of too many is a handful.

Furniture Facelift

It's unbelievable how a coat of paint and new hardware can turn an old piece of furniture into a hot new addition to your home.  Much to my husband's dismay I am not someone who  becomes faint at the thought of painting solid wood.  The way I look at it, furniture may have served you faithfully for years, and it deserves a facelife as it ages!  Besides, painted furniture is all the rage these days.  So get out those colour chips and find a dresser or table to bring to life.

Pops of colour in furniture play the same role as pillows or area rugs in your decor.  It's a great way to move colour around a room or to create a stunning focal point.

Check out these pieces and more on my Pinterest board


Turquoise/aqua is a very popular colour for painted furniture.  It is a very "usable" colour because it would fit in with most colour schemes as a lovely accent.

Corals and oranges are very popular for  a pop of colour.  Of course oranges are all the rage in 2012.


Royal purple is one of my favourites.  Buying new hardward of cleaning the original adds drama to a piece.


Don't save your bright colours for furniture.  A current trend is to have a coloured island.  This is a daring choice. 



Stenciling is an added embellishment for painted furniture.   I particularly like the matt/gloss look of this black  dresser. It would work in any decor.  Just do your stenciling with gloss varathane.



The blog Censational Girl  has great examples of painted furniture as you can see from the gems below. The colour choices allow the pieces to fit into any decor as a beautiful soft accent.



I love this  soft greens which would have a place in many decors.

 This beautiful lavender gray stripe is so simple, soft and utterly appealing with white furniture. 

Detailing adds to the overall look of a piece and this one has it in spaces. 


There's lots of painted furniture in both my homes. Everything in my summer house except for the kitchen table is a colour.  That's because every piece of furniture is second hand.  What better way to feel free to paint it up!


This is a  table left over from the era of the fully draped  table .  It is fun and funky in my summer house. 

The wicker chair in my kitchen was spray painted and the cabinet was built to store phonebooks, mail etc. The colours blend in and warm up the BM Rockport Gray walls.  The cabinet is BM Lennox Tan my favourite warm goldenish beige .


 My solid oak coffee and end table took on a whole new life when I painted them BM Kendall Charcoal.


I hope you have something that is calling out for a coat of paint!
