Our New Garden Lights









We fixed these lights last month but never turned them on...only for special occassions. On this night the kids wanted to play with fireworks and so we thought it was a good time to test out the lights. It was gorgeous, can't wait to have people over in the evenings..... hang out outside... Almost makes me feel sorry for giving up smoking!! LOL...!! :P







D.I.Y. Decorating : Upstairs Guest Bathroom for Make-Up Clients

Taaadaaaa....!! This was my first 'sticker' job... I fell inlove with stickers all because of this bathroom..hehehe.

It's all pink because this is MY section of the house, and because Sam says "No Pink" anywhere else in the house except here. All my crafty stuff and make-up work is done upstairs and when my make-up clients come up they can now use this bathroom. It used to be where I would store all my gangsas/trays and so this was not functioning back then.

NOW its perfect!!!! Seriously, when people come up to my make-up room and use this bathroom, they know they've just entered another dimension! hehehhe


D.I.Y. Decorating : Kid's Playroom

Wall stickers are nothing new. My friend was selling them ages ago but I was never that much into it. I actually thought the idea of sticking these on the walls was messy! But then just a couple of weeks ago I ran into these stickers in the shops and it was sooo damn cheap. First I bought the giraffes, then I thought....aaawwww..cute jua. Then I bought the blue airplanes and motorcyles stickers...which at that point, after sticking them all up, I thought, oh no I've over done it this time!

But then my sister wanted to buy some and took me with her to the shops. bad idea, I also ended up buying stickers!!

Got dinosaur stickers, it's behind the curtains....can only see them in the daytime when the curtains are drawn. And the sheep, yea that one I bought coz I loved it, I knew it wasn't a 'boy' thing but something just came over me. I didn't stick the sheep immediately, kept it for a while until I found the boys wooden name letters in my room. I was meaning to stick them up since we moved in a year ago! So when I stuck the letters up I then had a great idea to stuff the sheep around it too....LOL.. hey it worked. I really like it. OTT but I love it....hahahha.. I should take a shot of the other wall. My sister describes it as someone being punched and seeing stars...!! hahaha :p

Asked Kasyfi is he liked it he said, "yaaa, very nice.." aawww.... he's a sweetheart...hehhehe




D.I.Y. Decorating : Dining Roim Bay Window Seat

This area had no cushions previously. Now, since my crazy cushion buying phase, this red bench is wonderfully energised!! These embroided cushions are so colourful and bright that I just stare at them before I have my lunch/dinner.


Love, love, love it.....!!!

My D.I.Y. Home Decorating : Living Room

Love these cushions!! Who wuld have known a simple cushion would make such a big difference.



Since a couple of weeks ago I've been loosing sleep thinking about what to do with our living room. It was so bare. The cushions didn't match anything and the coolurs were all over the place. No proper theme at all. So now, since Hari Raya sales have begun, I went over to Haus and bought a ton of cushions and Sam got this perfect ottoman too. Yup, we didn't have a coffee table for this area before!



And so this is now the final look. I hope to not be adding more and more stuff to it, especially now that I'm into the minimal look. The cushions, just be luck, matches the painting of buffalos I have on the wall... I just freakin' love it!!!






Before, I only had the brown cushions, the chairs, no coffee table and the big brown fuzzy carpet was upstairs and there was a smaller persian carpet down here which sort of made the space smaller than it actually was. But now this change is soooo much more homier and it's almost better than how I had imagined it.








Oh and since the two boys love to run around in the house we had to make sure that the furniture was safe for them too. We targeted this ottoman for a while now and now that it's in our house it's just perfect!!





Happy Birthday To Nini Tutong & Kaka Nisa

My mum and Nisa's birthday was in May and I thought I uploaded these pictures already but i don't think I have...checked back and none uploaded.... anyway, better late than never.

Here are the boys with their grandma. I had to wrap up two different presents so that the boys could each give a present.



This is the present opening ceremony!






Eventhough it's not their birthday but I think kids just love opening parcels....


























trying to force a shot.... LOL




Present no.2...












And this is Kaka Nisa... her present being opened by Kasyfi...! She had all her friends over...kind of reminded me of my birthday parties when I was her age...




HAPPY BIRTHDAY NINI AND KAKA NISA.....!!!

May all your dreams come true.....!!

One Evening

Few nights ago I was up wide awake in bed while Nawi was breastfeeding and falling asleep. I'm getting bored with Facebook (which is what I;d be doing in bed with my iPhone while Nawi is stuck on to me) and so now I've moved on to Instagramming pictures. I'm actually loving how the pictures comes out..."sakai"


This is Nawi during our Singapore trip. He's showing off his new sunglasses...wooohoooo.... handsome dude...



And Kasyfi, no idea what he's doing here but I can recall him saying 'Jangut, jangut' for this shot here.... Just look at that face... he can make you mad to the point you just want to break his little fingers but at the same time you want to hug him and kiss him coz he's such a funny clown..uurrggh... I'm sooo torn!!
