No one will ever know

 You can never have too many vases or luminaries. Creating your own  from materials on hand is both fun and cost effective.  You also get to have the pleasure of looking at it every day and knowing that you upcycled something.  Of course, accolades from your friends and family don't go astray either.

  Here are some of my personal favourite ideas collected from  Pinterest.    Happy creating.



 I would use these for their sculptural value and forget the greenery which looks forced.  Get various shapes and sizes of clear wine bottles.  Tape off or use adhesive stickers to create design.  Spray paint white and there you have it.  So easy and they would look very interesting massed together on a table top or mantle.


So, so easy!  Use elastic bands  to stretch around  around the clear cylinder vase .  Vary the position of the bands and make sure you have some overlapping, then spray paint. When the candles are lit the design is greatly enhanced. You can now buy battery powered candles which would work best in something this tall.


Check out the very detailed instructions for creating this tissue paper collaged vase.


 You may have seen this idea in Canadian House & Home.   Wait for a nice day where you can take your spray paint outside. Clean (remove any labels and adhesive)  and dry the bottles and then by pouring a dollop of paint into the bottle, gradually rotate/swirl the paint inside until the paint coats the entire interior. Some may need two coats. Dry on a damp or plastic dropsheet.  I think the colour you use will make or break this look.  I'm particularly fond of the sea glass green blues.
Update: Watch a video how-to by Stephanie White on House and Home's TV.


 Print your photo on Lazertran paper, making sure the image prints on the chalky eggshell side. Let dry for 30 minutes. Cut the image to size. Soak the printout facedown in a pan of water for about a minute. Peel off the backing and place the filmy printout onto a ceramic vase, smoothing out any air bubbles.



These look stunning and they are so, so easy to make using Krylon  Looking Glass Mirrorlike  Spray Paint. Clean out the vases/votive,  spray the interiors lightly with water and then with mirror paint. Turn upside down and let dry overnight.  Repeat the process if the first application looks too sheer. If you want to use them for flowers you have to inert a small glass inside to hold the water. Imagine the beautiful table centerpiece these would create using some with flowers and some with candles.



Ka Fei Dian, Festival City

Whenever I have a meal in Festival City (which is quite frequent), it was always either Octopus Sushi or Shih Lin Taiwan House. Sometimes too much of one thing can get a tad bit boring. Don't get me wrong, I have tried other restaurants in Festival City such as Daily Kopitiam, Pulau Ketam Steamboat and Sushi King(i should say the worse sushi ever!). Just that cravings for Octopus sushi and shih lin was more frequent :)

Today, I decided to try something new. Ka Fei Dian aka Kopitiam. Pretty good lunch set menus which comes with a choice of barley, cincau or ice lemon tea.

Recommends: nasi lemak kukus berempah- Absolutely divine. The sambal and chicken was really good.

Not recommended: fruit rojak- the sauce tasted weird; hainanese steamed chicken rice - Pappa Rich does it better!

I would definitely make a second trip to Ka Fei Dian. My mum craves for more of the nasi lemak kukus berempah:) Lunc set meal cost about rm9.50.

hati!

Harga Bayi meningkat

Orang sibuk harga emas, minyak, tiba2 ja tanpa disedari bayi pun jadi niaga gak. Permintaan tinggi lak tu. Nak slahkan siapa ni? Aku asyik nak salahkan org ja. Aku x salah sebab aku x jual atau beli pun.

"Polis percaya sindiket penjualan bayi yang sudah lama wujud ini semakin berleluasa kerana terdapat permintaan yang sangat tinggi terutamanya bagi pasangan yang tidak mempunyai zuriat," kata Ketua Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Kongsi Gelap, Judi dan Maksiat (D7) Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman, Datuk Abdul Jalil Hassan.

Bayi ni mesti mahal gila, mau berjuta dolar.
"Kegiatan terancang ini bermula dengan penjagaan rapi yang diberikan kepada ibu-ibu yang mengandung di pusat penjagaan haram, bagi menghasilkan bayi yang sihat demi mendapatkan nilai jualan yang tinggi.

Januari 2011 polis berjaya menumpaskan kes penjualan bayi yang berumur antara lima hingga tujuh hari yang dijual dengan harga antara RM15,000 hingga RM20,000.

Sumber berita harian online.


Agak laku dak baby ni....
 Pihak yg menjual mungkin x mampu nak bela, buat mampu la, nak pakai duit lak. Pihak yg membeli lak xdak anak, terdesak utk memiliki anak, sanggup bayar sampai RM20,000 pun. Yer la, duit byk kalau xdak anak pun, sunyi jer.

Inilah kuasa duit, macam2 jadi pelik. Boleh huru harakan dunia. Satu lagi apadia? Sapa tau?????

Seribu Alasan

R&R  kan ada
Cuba la. Sebelum nak buat apa2 cuba selidik, cari, tanya orang, apa alasan paling sesuai, bernas, kukuh utk menyelamatkan diri dari 'mereka'. Kalau x der baik diam jer, mengaku.

Letih memandu? Rehatla di R&R. X kena bayaran pun. Nak makan kena bayar la.

Pasangan lak bangla. Isk isk.....hensem kot. Ala2 SRK gitu....

Apek.....oh....Apek

Sebagai peminat apek mesti sedih....tp itu jln yg dia pilih.....

Positif mengandung? Imposible. Positif air daun ketum. Posible....Tp ni positif dadah. Parah ni.....

Insaf la apek. Kami sentiasa menyokong mu. Jadi la macam Jamal Abdillah, Razi OAG. Lagi bagus kalau boleh jadi macam Azmil mustapa, Bob Lokman pun ok gak.

Keselamatan Di tempat kerja

adakah keselamatan kita terjamin
Baca suratkhabar hari memang banyak berita yg sadis, tragis. Kemalangan maut dah selalu kita dengar, tp yg ni maut kemalangan mesin.

Peralatan2 berat industri semuanya merbahaya. Mesin tebu pun aku dah ngeri. Mesin nyur tu pun dah berapa kali cium tangan aku. Pegang lembut2 takut terlepas, bila pegang kuat2 sampai tergelincir lak.

Apa2 pun keselamatan mesti diutamakan. Setakat luka sikit2 tu kira nasib baik la.

Tangga bergerak kat supermarket pun dah banyak org tersepit. Memang la malang x berbau, takdir, tp kita kena la sentiasa beringat. Kita yg dewasa ni tau dah bahaya dia, tp budak2, kena perati selalu.

Anak aku pun jatuh tangga dah 2 kali, moto 1 kali, kapit kaki katt basikal dah 1 kali. TU dalam bapak dia duk jaga, kalau dibiar, x tau la apa jadi.
