Harga RON97, RON95 turun, diesel naik mulai tengah malam ini

KUALA LUMPUR: Harga runcit RON97 turun sebanyak sembilan sen seliter kepada RM2.46 seliter dan harga runcit RON95 pula turun empat sen seliter kepada RM2.26 seliter, selepas 12 tengah malam ini.

Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan (KPDNKK) Datuk Seri Hasan Malek berkata harga runcit bagi minyak diesel pula dinaikkan kepada tiga sen seliter kepada RM2.23 seliter.

Harga runcit RON97 kini ialah RM2.55 seliter, RON95, RM2.30 seliter manakala diesel ialah RM2.20 seliter.

Menurut Hasan harga baharu ini akan berkuat kuasa hanya untuk Disember.

"Kerajaan akan mengikuti perkembangan pasaran harga produk kos pada setiap masa dan kadar pertukaran matawang untuk menetapkan harga runcit petrol dan diesel bagi bulan-bulan berikutnya," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.

Sehubungan itu, katanya semua syarikat minyak dan pengusaha stesen minyak diminta mematuhi penetapan harga baharu itu dan jika ingkar, tindakan tegas akan diambil mengikut Akta Kawalan Bekalan 1961.

Pada 21 Nov lepas, kerajaan mengumumkan akan melaksanakan penetapan harga runcit bagi petrol RON95 dan diesel mengikut kaedah pengampunan terkawal mulai 1 Dis.

Kaedah pengapungan terkawal yang diputuskan Kabinet itu adalah sebagaimana pelaksanaan penetapan harga runcit RON97 sejak Julai 2010, katanya.

"Melalui kaedah pengapungan terkawal, purata perubahan kos produk akan menentukan penetapan harga bagi bulan berikutnya, ini bermakna jika harga pasaran minyak mentah dunia meningkat, harga runcit RON97, RON95 dan diesel juga akan meningkat dan begitu sekiranya berlaku sebaliknya (harga pasaran minyak mentah dunia menurun)," katanya. - BERNAMA

Those Canadian Bloggers

The finalists in each category for the Made in Blog (MiB)  Best Canadian Blog awards  as determined by reader voting have been announced.  

This is the first year I participated in the  awards process ( Home Design category).   Thanks to everyone who voted  for this blog because you helped Designing Home make it to the top ten.  A panel of judges will now decide the winners in each category.  Stay tuned for that big announcement. 

One of the advantages of my participation was an introduction to other Canadian blogs that I didn't know. Perhaps there's a blog or two in the list that you might like  to check out or follow.   Click  here see the  top ten  list for home design.

 You might also like to check in on  A Pop of Pretty, another St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador  blog that's also in the top ten for home design.

Kerri  of A Pop of Pretty is currently participating in a Canadian Blogger Christmas Home Tour.  There are loads of close up photos of all her decorating efforts for this year's French Inspired Christmas Theme.  As she says in her blog description she loves all things pretty and there's no doubt that comes through in her space.

 If you'd like to see what other Canadian home owners are doing to get their homes ready for the festive season you can begin with Kerri and then link up to other open houses in blogland right across the country.  The link list is at the bottom of her post.

As I followed the links myself,  I found another local blog Adventures of the Uncommon Common Law  from St. John's.  I thoroughly enjoyed  seeing Becki's take on a modern Scandinavian  inspired Christmas. And why wouldn't I?  Her space has lots of neutrals, textures, clean lines, and white- a graphic delight.

 After visiting the homes of all these young energetic bloggers here's me- the grandmother blogger-   ill prepared right now for the festive season.

 I have no home tour to offer, but  I will have a Christmas post or two when I get the hang of my fancy new camera.   My decorating efforts,  as you may know from past posts at Christmas, are  a bit understated and usually consist of recycling and rearranging what I currently have.  I've begun to pull things out, and I'm happy to report my husband made me a lovely trough box (from recycled wood, yet to be painted) for an arrangement.

 I'm feeling nostalgic this year and thought my granddaughters would enjoy seeing my collection of wooden Santas I've painted over the years. Until more exciting things happen here,  I'll leave you to enjoy the links above. Have fun.

Am I the only one who needs to get moving on Christmas?

MALAYSIA AIRLINES JUALAN MURAH HUJUNG TAHUN 2014

Macam biasa MAS amat pemurah bila tiba penghujung tahun. Tiket penerbangan dari sekarang sehingga 30 Jun 2015 dijual pada harga super murah. Kalau korang ada bercadang nak kemana-mana, jangan lupa ambil peluang ini ye. Untuk mendapatkan harga hebat ini, tiket mestilah dibeli dan dibayar sebelum 3 Dec 2014 ini.

 

Saya rasa harga yang ditawarkan amat berpatutan, terutamanya jika kita bandingkan dengan Airasia. Ini kerana, Airasia mungkin menawarkan harga lebih kurang sama, tetapi perlu diingat dengan MAS kita tak perlu tambah kos check-in baggage (free 30kg/pax) dan makanan dalam flight.

 

Kat paper dah masuk dah iklan MAS ni. So jangan lambat.. sure ramai yang ambil peluang ini untuk bawa keluarga berjalan. Korang leh tengok berapa harga yang ditawarkan..

 

 

Selepas baca iklan kat surat khabar tu, saya pon masuk website MAS dan saja-masa la masukkan tarikh. Tengok, benarkah apa yang diiklankan?

 

Hasilnya...

 

Kalau bercadang untuk ke Eropah, inilah masa terbaik! Harga 'all-inclusive' pergi balik hanyalah RM2,749/pax! Semua dah masuk dah ni.. makan-minum dalam flight, baggage dan tax! Meh saya tunjukkan contoh di bawah untuk penerbangan awal bulan May 2015.

 

Kalau London tidak tercapai dek duit dalam poket, jom tengok Sydney pula.. Harga tiket sehala berharga RM1,051/pax manakala pergi balik ialah RM1,607/pax. Secara logiknya, tentulah pergi-balik lebih berbaloi2 je tuan-puan...

Masih mahal lagi? jangan risau! Masih boleh merasa gi bercuti ke luar negara dengan yang tersayang. Apa kata ke Krabi? Dengarnya Krabi sesuai untuk dijadikan destinasi honeymoon. Hanya RM300/pax untuk kos pergi dan balik. Saya dah lama berminat nak ke Krabi.. tapi husband saya kata bukannya best pon. Ada pantai jer.. huhu... (saya akan cuba nasib lagi!)

Double Bonus!

Sekarang ni, bagi yang bertuah, MAS bagi tawaran MHUpgrade kepada pemegang tiket penerbangan MAS. MHUpgrade ni ialah tawaran untuk naik taraf kelas dari ekonomi ke kelas bisnes. Ni kira win-win la kepada penumpang dan MAS sendiri. Daripada dibiarkan seat di business class tu kosong, lebih baik bagi pada yang sanggup bayar walaupun sket. Sesapa yang beli tiket akan dapat email daripada MAS tentang tawaran ini.

 

Kalau berminat, kita kena buat tawaran (bidding). Kalau kita bid harga tertinggi, kita akan dapat, insyaAllah. Kalau korang nak cuba MHUpgrade ni, letaklah berapa2 pon yang korang rasa berbaloi. RM50 ke, RM100 ke.. ikut suka. Sebelum buat bidding tu, checklah dulu harga sebenar kelas bisnes. Jangan terbayar sama banyak plak!

 

MAS hanya akan ambil bayaran jika kita berjaya di-upgradekan. Kalau tak berjaya, tak perlu bayar apa2. Kita masih leh dapat seat ekonomi yang kita dah beli tu. So, it is definitely double bonus jika dapat beli tiket harga murah.. dan dapat upgraded tu bisnes (masih pada harga lebih murah daripada harga biasa kelas ekonomi!)

Berminat? KLIK link ini untuk ke website MAS.

Selamat bercuti!

Choosing a drapery colour

Ah, the dreaded question.  What colour draperies should I have?

Part of being a decorator is making informed decisions about design.  Keeping current with trends  through reading and viewing is a must, but trend knowledge is not enough.  You have to understand what affect your choices will have on a space.

I posted this picture on Designing Home Facebook Page as an example of a style board I create for clients.  I am not one for vivid colour, but I didn't have to live with the colour, a young lady who loves rich colours did.   Should I have argued with her and said you shouldn't have bright draperies. NO!  I have to balance my client's likes with the principles and elements of design.

Vibrant  draperies 

Let's look at what this colour choice  did for this room.

 You can't ignore this window treatment, it's not only the vibrant colour, it's the placement and amount of it. That means a lot of colour jumping forward in the space. The draperies also serve to  frame the artwork and the sofa. The more muted sofa is anchored and held captive, and you need an equally vibrant art work to compete with the windows. When you look at this space blue is primary and everything else is secondary.

The overall effect is focused and the room appears smaller than it actually is.  That's a great tip if you have a large space that you want to appear smaller/cosier.  Go for darker/brighter  window treatments that draw the eye.

 I see this as a lively, energetic scheme that is equally matched to a sparkling, vivacious young lady.


On to number two example....

I removed the vibrant draperies and choose something more in line with my personal taste.  I like my spaces to be expansive, and tone -on tone- window treatments  (keeping the colour of the drapes and the walls very similar) is  one way to achieve that look/feel especially in a smaller space.  

Now the sofa and artwork stand out as they didn't before.  Your eye connects the light colour in the chairs with the draperies and you visually wander the space. 

On to example number three....  

Same window treatments, but I'm tweeking a few other things. Without the blue pillows on the chairs,  and the blue vase on the table, the space is even even more opened up.  The overall effect is fresh and inviting,  reminiscent of a summer garden - always a look I gravitate to.  The wooden tables help that feel too. 

So there is no right answer to the question "What colour draperies  should I have?"  It all depends on how you want your room to look/feel.

What's your preference when buying  window treatments ?  Are you a neutral or a colour lover?
