Home sweet home

Hey all!
Remember few month back(on my birthday) I told ya my hub finally settle down on a house?
Yes!
So it has been a long journey and we probably will get the house next month!
Woohoo!
So exciting!
Since we took a loan more than our house cost us, we have a few extra cash in hand.
Luckily the house has been done before, with kitchen cabinets and laundry room, lighting and stuff.
So we decide to pay the house early for two months first (in any case we are late with payment) , bought a new fridge (ours doesn't freeze water. Sigh) and few cans of paint!
We would only decorate with what we have first, and we'll see what else left from the cash, and probably buy small stuff first.
I'm truly ecstatic and starting to think about the house already.
My second sis also bought a house (althou hers are new and she got loads of money saved to buy stuff already! I'm envioussss. Haha.) so we probably get the house around the same time.
Woohoo! Double happiness for us!
We will try to get some easy diy stuff for our house, if hubby is rajin enough to help me.
For now, I've already made a small list of things to buy, mostly to organize stuff, especially when your hubby is a clean freak, you'll need all the help you can!
Since we have 4 rooms, we'll have master bedroom, 1 room for Cik Keyaan, 1 room for my craft stuff, and another guest room. We're still figuring out whether the guest stay on top level or bottom.
The thing is, I already forgot how my house looks like, and where it is. :(
Since it's so long ago, we've forgotten...
Sigh..

Oh well
I also still have tons of glass, utensils and dinner ware from our wedding. So will finally find them a good home to store them!
I'm excitedly excited, and I'm virtually shopping on Ikea and Daiso. Cheap, reliable stuff.
Hopefully can get everything done before raya so I can invite most of my friends for a real celebration!
I'm dreaming of house parties and what not, for my tight circle of friends and his too many friends :p
Hoping to have you soon, homey! XD

Life...in general, after a year..(again)

Assalamualaikum & good day everybody!

Gosh another year pass by us so quickly!

Last year, I wrote this after one year graduating from UMP.

So, after 2 years graduating and a year and a half working, this is a new list I came up upon to remind myself to be grateful, again!

1. I had a beautiful baby boy!

The name is Keyaan, weights 2.28kg during birth, and now weights a lil over 4kg.

In another 6 days he will be 3 months.

I admit the first one and a half month is quite boring as he just sleeps all the time.

Now that he's more responsive, giggling and cooing, its more fun!

He loves going out, talking in his own language and a camwhore at heart.

He fits right in!

I don't know whether he knows it or not, but I hate kids.

And so, he is the sweetest kid around cos he cry only when he wants to eat or too sleepy or when the water is cold during bath time.

Other than that, he's pretty fun to have around. 

Mommy with Keyaan having fun!

2. The hubby.

I'm blessed with this one. Very helpful!

He tidy the house, tidy up after I cook and we ate, he take care of the baby so I could get enough rest and bath and so on, he's there through my breakdowns and of course when I'm up.

I'm blessed with this guy and could not imagine myself without him anymore.

For my birthday, he bought me an Iphone 5 and a house.

I feel so grown up getting a house.

Thank you hubby for being the best! <3 p="">

Daddy trying to cut Keyaan's nails cause I'm scared to do so.

The two boncet boys watching tv,

3. My performance, for two years in a row, is excellent. Nuff said. :)

4. The youngest and only lady who receive best engineer in engineering in Engineering Hall of Fame.

There's 12 engineers all together, and I'm the only one lady and the youngest of all.

That, my dear, is a personal best.

I've saved more than 50,000 USD last year for my project, and I'm going to save more this year, you can count on that alright!

5. Gain silver belt (Green belt) in IQP less than a year. 

It took me 4 months of solving and 3 months of sustain. Woohoo.

6. House.

Finally a house to call home!

We have been searching for one for nearly two years, and we finally found one that both of us like.

Its quite huge actually, 24 x 65, and the its a second hand home, but we saved a lot there!

The previous owner have done all the wiring, extended the kitchen, fully tiles, and add in a laundry room.

There's also four rooms, and 3 bathroom.

Hubby said he'll give me permission to add a bath tub to the master bathroom. Weee!

And he also gave me a room for my stuff.

Which meansssss, I could serakkan everything!

Weee~~

7. Business.

Oh yes, my other baby is finally out!

All the creative side of me is emerging. LOL.

I have preorder baby clothes and toys, fresh flowers for occasion, diaper cake or newborn cake, hantaran and so on!

Totally love it, and gaining customers slowly.

:)

8. Insurance.

Owie such a grown up stuff I used to think.

But I'm going to have one as if anything happen to me, I still have something left for my family.

9. Directly reporting to manager.

Do you know that junior engineer could only reports to senior engineer who reports to principal engineer who will reports to manager?

Yeah I kinda skip all that and directly reports to the manager.

How cool is that?

10. Iphone 5.

I. Love. it.

^___^

11. Blessed, blessed, blessed with friends and family.

Anything you do, this is the most important thing!

My plan for future:

:: Probably getting a master and apply for lecturer.

:: Probably open my own shop, at pasar malam or bazar karat first.

:: Have a home office.

:: Threw party at home

:: Bug my brother to pick me as his wedding planner.

:: Get best of best engineer again.

:: Go holiday!

:: Have fun!

House hunting to stop, for now.

Hey you.
Ahh finally.
The house is ours!
And pay for peanuts too!
If I could then maybe tomorrow I'll do something to the house.
And I bought the sewing machine!!
The Brother's NV 950 which can sew and embroidery too!
I'm freaking happy!
I thought of buying using credit card, but since they can't process it so I paid cash, but owe it to my mom!
Thank you mummy dearesttt. Ur d bestest! Eceh..
Ahh since its Sat, she's going to courier out the machine by Monday, so I'll get it on Tue or Wed. Weeeeee~~
I'm currently at open house, ate 3 plates of rice, desserts and soup. Oh I'm so freaking full now. Lol.
That's all for now.
Toodles!

Sleep deprived and day dreaming again

Sleep deprived as I totally could not sleep as I'm hot but the weather is freezing, and I keep peeing every 15 minutes or so. *Is this the curse of pregnancy? 6m2w now, so going to toilet every freaking minutes are tiring, and my body ache. I can't sleep!!*
Gosh. So, not a time waster, I spent my night thinking / day dreaming about my new hobby on sewing.
I was thinking to purchase a yard of minky fabric, as well as making a matching set of baby stuff.
Like blanket/bib/burp cloth combo. Or blanket/mitten/boot/hat combo. Oh gosh the possibilities are endless!
Yesterday I was sewing machine hunting, I wanna buy one that have embroidery and also usual stitches built in, so I would not have to buy two of them, but oh my god, the price!
* How cool is to get a set of blanket and stuff, with your son/daughter name monogrammed on it? So cool! Just like this *

Minkyboutique's pillow

http://www.etsy.com/listing/76891854/personalized-baby-minky-blanket-and

Singer's are like RM3000 above, and so does Brother.
So I'm comparing the Singer's Curvy 8870 model which to me suits me fine, but, since the embroidery is small and not that pretty, I reconsider my choice.

Singer's Curvy 8870

Next, I try to look at Brother's sewing machine, and it's more expensive!

Swoonn. Brother's NV950

And then I came across some website claiming they are selling the Brother embroidery and sewing machine for 50% off, that is from RM3999 to RM1999!
Oh goody, is this a sign??
I'm currently begging hubby to buy me one, if they are still in stock, and pls pray that they are still in stock!!
Oh woohoo!
And another thing, the house is ours too!
The land lord is going to inspect and see if there's anything he need to do to the house, and the latest we will probably get the house on Sunday!
Plus, the rent is the same as mine is now. Freaking cheap wey. I got this flat, buck ugly, smell flat for RM350, 2 bedroom, 1 store and 1 toilet/bathroom.
But this house is 3 bed, 2 bathroom and one of the bathroom is in the master bedroom!
Granted, nothing in it, only sinks and basic stuff, but I'm happy enough.
But I will be travelling to and fro, however his work place is in my way, so I'll drop him off and go to work.
I probably be boring there since S is not there, so I guess the sewing machine came in handy this time around. *I'm a planner, I really like planning my ways around. :) *
Oh wow. Life is such a roller coaster.
S is the one who supposed to rent elsewhere, but suddenly I'm the one moving.
Will be buying the sewing machine if its available. And put a great bent on hubby's credit card.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Kuantan with hubby, mom and brother. We're going to visit relatives there, and I'm going to a small reunion with my ump buddies. BBQ night!
I can't wait to see them, and gossip the night away!
On top of that, I know I'm blessed with a good fortune, and I know whatever I want, I'll get it, in any other way, and the result, is a blessed in disguise usually.
So, be thankful for those moments, when you think life fail you, but its not, just prepping you up to some bigger stuff.

P/s : Do you think I can sew? I'm not sure either. I used to sew small items, small dolls and the like, but never big stuff. Mom is excited and asking me to create beddings, pillow and the likes. Brr. I don't know, I'll like to play around first. And maybe, later I'll sew and sew and sew during my confinement period of two months. Who knows if I'm good at it, I may even sell it! :)

Sewing again?

Freaking cute blanket from minkyboutique.

Oh my, as I'm online browsing for things that baby needs (or mummy wants) I come across minky blanket.
It looks soooo luxurious and cute. But the price is around RM135-165.
Oh wow.
So, I look online for the fabrics, but unfortunately can't find one in Malaysia.
So I look further for those that shipped internationally and I found this:
http://theminkyboutique.com
I'm not even sure whether I'm going to purchase a whole yard just to create one, but it's a possibility since it's cheaper that way, huh?
And, I found that for 1 yard it will be like, RM30, so the minky blanket should have 2 sides, which means if I want different styles, I should buy 2 yards of different prints, and I basically have 2 blanket.
The price will be RM30x2 + RM20(shipment, estimate) = 80, which is, half of the price!
Well, but since they are doing a great job sewing and those lil stuff, so I guess it worth the price.
:)
I don't even have a sewing machine. Oh well. I saw one in Singer which looks adorable and could make a mean monogram. Which is perfect for those customization blanket. Or burp cloth. Or diaper. Or whatever.
Omigosh I'm having a totally creative moments without even stuff to do. Day dreaming again, or am I going to make this a reality?
Oh well. The Singer is RM110 per month for 2 years I think, and the yards are looking pretty.
Maybe I'll start small and end up big, and could work from home.
Maybe.
Oh well. We'll see about this, or maybe I'm just day dreaming again...


Plus, we maybe *again those maybe word* shift house, as hubby's friend going to move out and we probably move in, this week! But I'll keep you posted about that. Since hubby hatesss living in flat, and he really wants to live in house, with yard and so on, I guess we'll move, if he's not into procrastination mode again. *Which he did with the last 50houses we went through...*
So, pray for us that this will be the last house I will house hunt for!

DIY : Hanging ribbons. Canopy bed. Memo board.

There's something about ribbon and laces that speaks so much, and I adore them so.

Not only its cheap (1 inch wide satin ribbon cost around rm4, which could cover a lot of places) , its usable to every single thing, deco, hantaran, escort cards, on menu cards, on invitation cards, photo booth and many more!

The choices are endless!

However, am thinking of making this for photo booth and also incorporate them in pelamin. :)

Here's some of the collection on hanging stuff, not only ribbons :)

Hanging chandelier. Gorgeous!

A diy hanging flower with ribbons. the colors are vibrant and youthful!

Love this picture of the bride with colorful hanging ribbons..

This is cute! Love to make one if I have that much time. :)

Magical!

Adore this escort card with tiny clothes pins on hanging ribbons

Back drop for wedding ceremony

Hanging ribbons on chair. Stinking cute!

Totally adore the bride with hanging ribbons. Swooonnn~

Here's one with lanterns. Pretty stuff!

If you have more time *unlike moi* you may create fab paper flowers and combine it with ribbons.

I probably make some diy chandelier, and also as a hanging canopy for bed. 

I am still thinking of fresh flower chandelier or hanging ribbon? 

Well there's a lot of thinking to do, and not enough time!

How to do some nice headboard *bilik pengantin* ideas

20s dream home: Nusa Bayu Precint 3D

Here you go for those who interested in Nusa Bayu cute houses in Gelang Patah - Pontian.

Well I've been to Nusa Bayu yesterday as Feeqa send me lotsa pics for the houses (cdt to Feeqa fo some of this pics!) and I fell in love with the 2nd house. It just so cute! However all the corner and lot house already sold. :(

But the best part is, only RM5000 down payment needed!

NO 25K down payment!

You pay RM500 for booking, and another RM4500 if the loan is approved,

then wait 2 years before the house is finished, and NO construction fees!

So you can saved up and spend the money for your house, or anything else!

Then, there are like 20K+- rebate!

The house range from RM250000 to ... not sure how much, but its the monthly installment is pretty much around RM1K++. :) 

*But since the house in Gelang Patah is bloody expensive, and paying 1k per month for renting is too much for me, better buy a house and pay 1k per month, at least in the end it still gonna be your house. :) *

Gosh I feel like shouting...

Okay so you guys can drop by at Nusa Bayu launching event on this Saturday and Sunday (13, 14 Aug 2011) to book your dream home!

* I know there is a little info on Nusa Bayu, and I tried to help by providing this details.

Come and join me!*

And it will be better if you can drop by and hear it for yourself, in case you wanna buy a house, and its fun to see the house transform from blahh to woowww. :)

I'm super excited, can you tell? And I'm not even working for them! :p

*Nusa Bayu should give me more rebatesss :P *
