It's almost Christmas!

Joy to the world! The Lord has come!Let earth rejoices la la la la la la la (baca dengan irama menyanyi Christmas carol ya, but i don't know the rest of the senikata...).

Last night mengusai home in preparation for Christmas tea party. Shabbymom sudah warn that I must have Christmas tree for the tea party. I so couldn't wait for the tea party. 'M so in the mood to put up Christmas decor. This will be the first time ever that this humble apartment will have a Christmas decor and Christmas tea party! "m not finished with the full decor yet...just a glimpse of some of the corners.....

Seruan Fabmom

Fabmom came up with a brilliant suggestion to do polka dot kutin. Cabaran disambut dengan semangat waja. Raw materials - kutin biskut, spray blood red, spray white and sticker bulat bikin acuan (above). I do not mean to minta puji, but i really do love the hasil. It was a tedious process though. It is much easier to do decoupage using tissue o. Anih very tedious and delicate. The most difficult part is to peel the round sticker afterwards. The paint must be 100% dry, or else jadi "narangut".

I finally have a cousin si Cath Kidston polka dot biskut kutin.

Adik-beradik kan beg dengan kutin..wakakakaakakakakakak.

Living Life Through A Polka Dot Bag

Was listening to a CD on Faith this morning. A good reminder to count daily blessings. Work wise had been quite uphill recently. Am struggling to keep a cool head and boost morale among my precious 5 rocks (ini good rocks ah, wakakakak) in the department. How does one protect each other from being made a scapegoat, and to ensure that no matter what kind of abuse being hurled to us, we can keep a cool head and not retaliate. To have no vengeance in us. Certainly not with human strength...am so surrendering everything to my Lord. (Sri....terdengar hidayah kali ni selepas makan ur spaghetti olio wakakakakak). I pray so that all 5 of us will come out from this storm victorious, to grow better in character and integrity.

To DG, it is so good that u're finally a mommy. U have been an extremely good rock. Now is the time for u to rest and enjoy ur baby.

Oooops i nearly forgot to relate the title of this post to the pic. 'm happy ye ye ye with the polka dot bag. One can actually identified this bag from a distance...There is no need to squint one's eyes to spot bag anymore.

Baldi

'M still in the mood for decor. Put good use of the Cath Kidston's serviette. Got a kutin baldi from Kaison, and sprayed paint white, then decoupage with delicate CK roses. Besar juga this kutin, boleh masuk anak bongsu si Anies.

This kutin will be used to put umbrella or any tongkat-tongkat..hmmmm.

As usual, the pictures are not in sequence. First pic is the finished product, whilst the pics below are the original baldi and after being sprayed paint.

Close up pic of the print.

This is suppose to be the Part 1 of the trip, but 'm so very not IT savvy, jadi terbalik-terbailk pula. Went to KKIA 3 hours early (iski..), and am so in love with the new KKIA. Cool interior with gleaaming floor. Waited 2 hours for flight at the cafe enjoying the tiramsu (good) and over priced green tea (ok ok ja rasa dia). The traffic was minimal, masih tak ramai org. And the Starbuck played very soft christmas music. I really had a very very good 2 hours rest just sitting there and reading my Agatha Christie.

The pic above is for shabbychicmom - the new French roses collection at lovely lace. Bisai ka?


Had this yong tau fu soup 3 days in a row. Tidak lah sedap sangat, tapi mcm bikin hilang haus. The coffee sangat TIDAK sedap.

Metrojaya Laura Ashley home range and clothes colections. Betul-betul gula-gula mata o Laura Ashley ni. I love the white candle holder, tapi rogono dia almost RM200. Inda lah bah kan....unless di KK everyday tiada karan...baru ngam.

Above pic, bikin i terbang semangat, priced at over RM300 per piece. Well...I guess the brand yg bikin mahal.

Love love love collecting pictures of christmas tree...Here are some of them..will do a specific post on christmas tree later. The good and fiunny ones.

Di atas punya decor, agak samak kan.

Lawa....

Went to The Garden at Midvalley. SHopping malls started to do christmas decorations. Love love love the decor with soft christmas carols as background music. For a while 'm transported to a faraway English malls with snow falling softly outside and sounds of sleighbells.....tapi sekali terdengar salesgirl berkunyanyang dengan kuat cakap cina, terus hilang the imagination. Haiyaaaaaa!!!!

Wanted to get the Marks & Spencer biscuit (pic above) but the price sanngat tidak berbolai (hj bilang), rogono dia RM189.00 (i think the kutin yg mahal kali kan).

Likey the lighting effect .... Yg ni, aku takut, sikit terbang semangat ku. Seriously scary, a life size doll and i'm sure mcm the doll melirik matanya ke mana ja i jalan!

Sangkar (?) apa kaitan dengan tema Krismas kan...Maybe budak-budak yg tak baik akan dikurung dlm sangkar and the good ones di bawah pokok?

Berkodi-kodi

'M back. Mtg was good. Pembelian barang-barang tak banyak (tidak berkodi-kodi). Managed to get hold of Cath Kidston's serviette for new decoupage projects.

Impian tercapai with this colander and the crisps (maruku ikan) is to die for. Seriously sedap. Should have bought 10 bungkus!

Pembelian botol (don't know why 'm into bottles nowadays) with loads of Marks & Spencer choc shortbread. Nyaman gila biskut org putih ni!

Christmas presents (not for me though). Lawa kan the selipar Jepun roses.

'M very very happy with my new Agatha Christies new books.

Yg ni pembelian due to curiosity. Very damit ni mcm sebesar mangkuk sup paling kecil ja. Is this the one kalau di movie org putih, the finale where kena off lampu dan bini-bini org putih bawa keluar dari dapur sambil angkat ini pudding dan dibakar (yg boleh ada api), dan all will clap. Nanti aku try bakar and see whether boleh re-create scene mcm di tv.
