I like to do things with my hands like origami, cross-stitches or gardening. Most of these stuff except for gardening, I can do during my night teleconference where I am not the host. These crafts can keep me awake and de-stress.

The other day I was shopping and I found these DIY craft set. I fell in love with it. The shop displayed the finish work. I got 2 sets, hoping to do with my girl, ended up I did it all. She is happy because she can play with it. She uses her Lego minifigures as house visitors.

Here are some pictures….

New Project Coming Soon!

My girl is pretty excited about a charity event. She was given a card to collect funds. The funds will goes to her school in tiling the assembly area so that the students can sit and putting a roof over it so that they don’t need to stand under a hot sun.

The event was held on a Saturday and surprisingly she woke up at 6am! She was excited because there is a lucky draw. The first prize is a 32 inch LCD TV. Other prizes include Washing Machine, Notebook, vouchers and smaller prizes. She wanted to win herself a TV.

And she went. She did win something but it was a Notepad but with pages….hahahaha. It was her first time winning something.

Someone introduced me to Cotton On website that provides free ship to Malaysia. I wished there are many more of these sites in Malaysia. Anyway, I browse through the items for sale and some of it was really cheap. Initially I wanted to buy stuff for my children. However, there are not many items that have their sizes.

Ended up, I bought stuff for myself. I got sandals for RM6, shoes for RM15, tops for RM10-30 and other stuff.

If you have kids under 7, you can go visit the website and get something cheap for your children. The website is asia.cottonon.com!

I will show you what I bought when I get it!

It is time for me to change my TV as it is not working for months or maybe a year now. I am surveying around. I am eye-ing on the Samsung Smart TV. The other day I was at one of the electrical shop and saw a huge TV with a camera. My girl started playing with it, using hand motion to remote control the TV.

Guess what? Next thing, she found angry bird app on the TV and started playing with it. Anyway it is a cool TV with hand motion and voice recognition. However it is way too expensive for my budget. I just need a Smart TV with internet and wifi capability so that I can use it to watch some online movies. I am sure my kids would like that too as they are always using my work LED screen to watch online cartoon.

My girl told me, “Mummy, this Saturday we have a lucky draw event in my school and the first price is a TV. If I win the TV then you don’t have to buy!” I replied, “Keep Dreaming!” Hahahaha…

Remember that I told you both my kids got invited to speech day! Yeap they were there to receive the school awards. During my time, speech day was a very grand event because you get to receive prizes for the efforts you put in.

My kids made me very proud of them as they went on stage to receive these!

I like spending time in my garden because I love to see the plants grow and some would bear fruits. My garden has lots of flower plants, peppermint, basil, mulberry, hydrangeas, custard apple plant and others. Believe me I do not have green hands but I am learning everyday how to take care of them.

There is so many things that I can plant in my garden, wish I had more space. It is really sad to see neighbors tiling their porch and give up the space for planting.

By the way, there are lots of tips from the internet to help. I just learn how to replant herbs and prune them.

I shall make more basil and peppermint plants! Enjoy the pictures of my plants:

My boy is almost reaching my height. He is almost 5 feet and he is only 10 years old. I wonder how tall he will be when he is an adult. I was curious to find out so I google for a height predictor calculator. I was shocked to find out he will be 6’ 4”. Well not sure how accurate is the calculator. I guess I have to wait for him to grow up.

I asked him if he is interested in Basketball, he said “Nah” but he loves football. He has been playing football with his school friends.

I guess I have to look up to him some day!

Today my girl came home holding a form. She was so excited and asked me to read. She has been invited to her school speech day. It is on a Saturday and it starts at 8:00am.

I asked her why is she invited. She is clueless on why she got the invitation. I guess I have to wait and see why she is invited. Speech Day is on 22nd Sept. Stay tune!

There are many bee farms in Cameron Highlands. Some required admission fees but most do not. We went to one which is at Tanah Rata that does not require any fees. It has a lovely garden with different kind of flowers for the bees to enjoy.

It also has a glass panel for us to watch the bees making honey comb. You can also buy lots of honey product home. I love those honey sticks and got a bundle home. My gal enjoyed it very much and honey is good for her.

For photographers, you can test your skill here by capturing the bee sucking honey on a flower. Here are some pictures I have taken for you to enjoy…

Isn’t this lovely? You can drink tea and admire the view in Cameron Highlands and also enjoy scones.
