Surviving......

Hello u'ol. I'm still alive..barely...I'm recovering now. I'm sorry for the "none-posting" period. I'm at a crossroads (cewah!) in all areas of this whimsical life (????sob, sob, sob) - career wise, spiritual, personal, emotion, etc).
I hope I'll come out of this grey, hazy and confusing state triumphantly. There are many decisions (big and small) to consider...and hopefully when one finally choose one, it is the right decision.
Thank you all for your get well wishes. Till next week....

Bear with me....



Haiii u'ol. Whimsy is still not 100% recovered. This had been a very bad attack of sickness. It had been ages since my last medical leave, but last week i took 3 days m.c. Gosh....this weather is really not good. Too many "evil germs" still flying around. Do stay indoors as much as possible. I m so fed up with taking medicines as well...I couldn't wait to be okay again. I need to pack few purchase from my whimsyfabric nicely. Sorry my dear purchasers....delivery this time not good. I just don't have the energy to do anything. I still am feeling very drowsy and not being able to concentrate doing things. So many letters on my table, so many meetings to arrange...I must fight to be healthy and strong again. Dg, please bear with me dulu ya....Si dg yg betian, saya pula yg sakit berlebih-lebih kan....

Above is my mom's mothers day celebration. i didn't manage to celebrate much since I was almost horizontal most of the time in keningau. But as usual my shopaholic nephew yg "over" (LOL!!)My mom did not manage to cut the cake, instead all are singing Happy Birthday song to owen! Don't ask me how a mother's day celebration turned to an imaginary birthday celebration for owen.......muawhahahahahahah

Amazing Emily!!!

Gosshhhhh, these bags really made my day!!!! few months back, Whimsy bought a single bed cover (tebal punya kain) from fleamarket. I really adore the prints. And ask this amazing tailor to make bags out of it. I saw roses motive bags selling in Warisan Square and CT Mall are so expensive. I did not expect the end products to be these good. The workmanship is Excellent. She is so meticulous. She even jahit inside pockets for handphone, keys, magazine etc. And ada zip bagi mengelak evil pencuri lagi!!!!!!! Dia kasi bikin pengeras supaya the bag boleh berdiri!














Food and Fabric

Happy Thursday u'ol. I dread the idea of facing writers' block (Chisss...). I hope I'm not...its just there are many events happening in the past few weeks. Unfortunately I couldn't write it here for fear of being used against me(cewah....mcm famous!). Anyway, let us concentrate on the positive things only. Today is pictures day. Whimsy is posting various pictures which are not really my fav pics, but they kind of sums up last week activities.

Above is my latest purchase of king size quilt. Initially I wanted to put it on sale, however, in my eagerness to make it bright and shiny, I was overzealous and too generous with my clorox. Thus created few spots here and there. So I decided not to put it up for sale.
Vegetable steam bun @pau and nescafe o. Breakfast at an old coffeeshop in jalan gaya. Not nice. The nescafe is not "kaw-kaw". The pau is yucky!!! The vegetable filling was brownish in color (and it is suppose to be vegetable!!!--GREEN should be the color kan). Breakfast yang gagal.

Cleaned and ironed quilt. How i love to look and touch the softness of the cotton. How weird it is to form an attachment to these fabrics kan, but i'm glad they are going to good homes and will be of good use to the new owners.

Percubaan to take photo at night with no electricity. I wanted to create the effect of candlelight, but my camera flash was so strong!!
Pink rose fabric.

Nice cosy sofa kan. Most of my quilts ended up being draped on my sofa....

Happenings

Hello u'ol. Sorry for the long silence. Our internet was down since last Wednesday due to faulty connection by Telekom (bummer and sot!), then on Monday till today, I was down with fever. What i want to share is a scary fact of being wrongly given medication by pharmacist (not Janet in Daily care pharmacy - she is very thorough and strict!). I won't give the name of this pharmacy for the fear of being sued (cewah!). Email me if u want to know the name (vyner88@yahoo.com). On monday afternoon, I felt kind of drowsy initially, and my throat did not feel good. I then walk to this pharmacy and she initially wanted to prescribe antibiotics. But i refused since Janet of Daily Care Pharmacy once told me that if possible try to avoid taking antibiotics, to "train" our body to fight "evil germs" naturally, when our body fails, then we resort to antibiotics. The pharmacy then gave me tablets for inflammation, I need to take 6 tablets initially, then 5, etc etc.
I took the first 6 tablets, and after delivering quilt to supershabbymom, i felt drowsy with high fever. The next morning i took another 5 tablets (as advised). My stomach didn't feel good. And roughly around 12 ish noon, the pharmacy called me to inform she had prescribed the wrong tablets!!!!And I already took 11 tablets!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!!! she sd it was not dangerous!!!! Hello!!!!!!
Anyway, I went to a proper dr, and he did not prescribe antibiotics coz he said, my throat inflammation is still in initial stage. he prescribed vitamins and lozenges to treat the symptoms only (ngam kan mcm janet said, try to avoid taking antibiotics). The whole day i gargle diluted salt water, drink lots of vit.c, and drank pure tomato juice. Felt much better now, although my ears still "rasa bangal". The moral of the story u'ol - Beware of careless pharmacist!!! and drink lots of water esp in this hot weather, and tomato juice is really healthy (although the taste is like drinking "kuah sadin").
U'ol, pls feast ur eyes to various pictures below. No connection what so ever with above posting.
The end product of the donut is soooooo not pretty kan. Punya "biut" donut dia.

Honey lamb with sesame seeds in Thien-thien restaurant (Sunday dinner). The taste...not so nice, the meat was quite hard and the smell of "kambing" still lingers.


Broccoli seafd - very nice! The broccoli is not overcooked. Still crunchy and the seafood portion is generous.

Whimsy's long bean planted in a pot. OMG! the taste of freshly picked long bean and to cook it straight away is so so so good and sweet. Do try to plant this in your backyard, since it doesn't produce many beans if they are planted in a pot.
