Vacation @ Korea (31.03.2011) - Day 1_Part 1

2011-05-02T19:26:00.000+08:00

Good morning Korea. My first day full of activity in Korea starts on 31 Mar 2011. Korea is an hour early than Malaysia time.

We packed our luggage and checked out today. Well, my 4D3N in Korea are shifting hotel every day. We need to pack & unpack our luggage. I went for budgeted ground package arrangement. It's worth for me but not sure for any other people. ^_^

We have our breakfast inside the hotel. The foods are delicious & they have different ambiance in the same restaurant.

Wall decoration, ambiance & foods.

After breakfast, we hopped into our bus for our day tour. Our day tour was fully utilize for the whole day. Started in the morning & ends in the night at about 9p.m.

Our tour guide, Mr. Mark from Sabah, Malaysia (whom married to Korea) informed our itinerary for the day. He just informed us on where we will be going on the first day. Meanwhile, the remaining itinerary was announced individually on the 2nd & 3rd day.

Tour guide, our bus for 2 days, environment in the early silent morning.

1. KimChi School & wearing Korean Traditional custome "Han-Bok"
Our first activity in Korea. We tried to make our very first KimChi. According to the staff, KimChi made by us will be given to the old folks (charity purpose). Even though I am not sure how true it is but I hope the old one can feel my sincerity & caring when they ate the KimChi I made. Hahaha....

Thereafter, we tried to wear the traditional custome "Han-Bok". Kinda weird when I wore it & I look very plump. Then, we bought some souvenirs from the shop.

KimChi

2. 2002 FIFA World Cup Museum
Then, we went to FIFA World Cup Museum. It is a big stadium & the field was maintained properly.

FIFA World Cup Museum

After visiting the FIFA World Cup Museum, we hopped into bus to the next destination.

Stay tuned for my next destination! ^_^

Hey everyone.

It is time for me to post my entries here. It's been awhile cos I was way tired after I came back from my trip, work, assignments, orders & etc.

Yup, I have been away to Seoul, Korea for 4D3N - a short trip. This is my 2nd overseas trip. I miss Korea so much right now. Nice weather, nice scenery, nice food.

I took Air Asia X to go to Korea. Safe drive & comfy place Air Asia provides to me. We reached Korea at 21:00.

Flying off with Air Asia X, arrival at Incheon Airport, My dinner - McD Bulgogi Burger set.

These dolls are made from flowers. They are for real & it is inside Incheon Airport.

After taking our dinner, the travel agent bring us to our hotel which located at Incheon. Our traveling group have 23 peoples from Malaysia. We reached our hotel at 23:20.

Interior design of room for 3.

Facilities: They provided the skin care products for men & women. Big TV screen & computer with internet facilities.

Shower room with sauna & jacuzzi facilities.

After unloading our luggage into our room, we went out for a walk nearby hotel. Well, there is nothing for us to shop as it is late at night. Meanwhile, it is so cold at night too.

L: The mural design of the hotel. R: The ancient telephones and receptionist area.

Oceanside Hotel provide the countryside ambiance to their guests. I personally like this hotel very much & it is a good hotel to stay in Korea.

The silent night outside the hotel.

Vacation @ Singapore - 19th July 2010 (3rd Day Trip)

2010-10-25T07:18:00.002+08:00

This is my last day in SG. We checked out at 12 noon. Taking our luggage & hopped into bus towards Vivo City. Well, taking luggage together for shopping is troublesome.

Then, we shopped around in Vivo City & Harbour Front. Both buildings are connected to each other. We had our lunch & dinner at food courts as well. Well, on budgeted trip. Hehehe... We even saw the cruise which the entrance is just at Harbour Front building.

View of Vivo City @ night & day time, Sentosa Island & Star Cruise.

Around 6 p.m., we hopped into cab towards the KTM station at Tanjong Pagar. We took the night train & arrived at KL about 7 a.m. The journey from SG to KL is much faster.

So, what is the total expenses per person in this trip? It just cost you RM500/person. So, do you think it is really a budgeted trip?

View of my gifts & lovable items which I purchased at SG. Some are my brother stuffs. If you saw the last 2 pictures & the rack - these items I purchased at SG DAISO. They have lots of stuffs there.

Thank you for staying tune. ^_*

Vacation @ Singapore - 18th July 2010 (2nd Day Trip - Universal Studios Singapore / Resorts World Sentosa)

2010-10-24T18:40:00.011+08:00

Sorry to keep you all waiting for my next post. Photo editing is not easy & way busy with my assignment. Wish I can quickly finish my course soon but I know I will miss my study's fun. ^_^

2nd day of my Singapore trip - Universal Studios Singapore.
* To get more info. on Universal Studios Singapore, you may click here.

We started our 2nd day tour at 8.30 a.m. from our hotel. We took bus to Vivo City & fetch another bus towards Resorts World Sentosa. Once we reached Resorts World Sentosa, we quickly head towards to look for Universal Studios Singapore. Why? As we scared there is no tickets available & their tickets are limited.

When we reached at the ticket(s) booth, we are full of disappointment & sadness. We did not even booked online ticket but we pray that the booth open later. About after 9.30 a.m., the booth open & we are able to buy 3 tickets. Phew!! At least, we get our tickets. Hooray! Besides that, I get SGD15 voucher for foods & SGD15 voucher for souvenirs. As I know, these are the gifts for July month promotion.

Clockwise: Universal Studios Singapore, Tickets booth are opened from the side (notice the LED board is w/o words), the Universal big Globe, my entrance ticket to USS & Tickets booth are closed (notice the LED board is with words).

We hurry to get into Universal Studios Singapore & we are amazed.... Everything is different. We went to all of the attraction but some of the attraction was still under construction. Most of the attraction was roller coaster. So, I din get into any rides as I'm scare of it. (=_=)"

Here are some of the photos for you to view. I just posted some of the photos as I snapped a lot.

I love the tree which at Madagascar area. See the sun light goes true the branches? The branch crossed each other & I snapped out the love shape from there. Nice & magnificent right? Love is in the Air....

Well, other than roller coaster, what else they have? We enjoyed the Shrek 4D theater, Water world show, Donkey Live show, Monster Rock, Lights Camera Actions, etc. Too much for me to state here. If you have not visited USS, you should go there to have great fun with friends or family.

My lunch @ Far Far Away Kingdom. I used the foods voucher here.

View of animation scene in SHREK movie @ Far Far Away Kingdom.

View of The Lost World - Jurassic Park.

View of Water World.

View of Revenge of the Mummy.

View of Sci-Fi City.

View of Hollywood & New York.

After Universal Studios Singapore, we went to Merlion Park & towards Siloso beach. We snapped some photo & sat tram for side seeing at Siloso beach area. Well, we did not get down from the tram as we just want to sit & have a look what they have. Nice beaches.... ^_^

View of Merlion Park, Outside of USS, Walkway towards Siloso Beach.

Then, we walked back to Casino. The environment at the casino was totally different from MY environment.

P/s: I am not an addicted gambler / gambler but just want to have different feeling of each casino I went to.

Thereafter, we get into the bus from Casino to Vivo City. We had our dinner at Vivo City, food courts. After dinner, we just walked awhile at Vivo City. Guess what? I bought something from there too. ^_^

Lastly, we went back to our hotel. Tiring day after walking here and there. Yet we are happy as THIS DATE was a FRUITFUL DAY~!!

Stay tuned on my last post before I get back to K.L.

Vacation @ Singapore - 17th July 2010 (1st Day Trip - Part 3)

2010-09-26T15:23:00.010+08:00

Live Life to the Fullest!

Yeah...! That is one of my life MOTTO!
Life is short, isn't? So, enjoy everything I can see, touch, feel & etc.

Where is my next stop? We went to Parliament House. We did went into the info. centre (beside the Parliament House) to know more about SG Parliament. Admission is FREE. Then right opposite of Parliament is Supreme Court. Then, surrounding was National Art Gallery, Singapore Cricket Club and Victoria Theatre & Concert Hall.

Thereafter, we walked to The Fullerton & Merlion Park.

Above view is from The Fullerton area. You can see the SkyPark, Marina Bay Sands & SG Flyer from far.

We reached One Fullerton & if you cross the road, you reached Merlion Park. You can snap lots of photo here.

After photo snapping, we walked back towards Boat Quay & Clarke Quay. Gosh.... So many food stalls... Yummy yummy!! We had our tea time at Central, Clarke Quay.

After makan-makan, we walk around in Central. Oh, right in front of Central, there is flea market... I saw nice handmade jewelries too...

Then, we took bus to Bugis. We did survey for MRT. However, I din get any chance to sit MRT as it is more expensive than bus fare.

Once we reached Bugis, we went to Bugis Junction & Bugis Street. Both place are just opposite each other.

Bugis Street has a lot of stuffs to buy. There is a lot of nice & affordable price clothing there. I bought my souvenirs from here too... & I missed my Avocado fresh drink... It is marvelous. Besides that, I did bought the Hakka "Lud-chi" (I dunno it to write in pinyin). Nice!

Note: There is a Tourist Information Centre just right beside Bugis street. You can obtained SG map here.

After walking around, we took bus back to our hotel. We walked quite far towards our hotel as we stopped at the wrong stop. Yet, we experienced how is the crowd along Aljunied area.

We took a rest once we reached hotel. I called my friend & we went out again to meet up at City Square Mall. Thanks to my friend for treating a nice Thai foods. It is so yummy & delicious.

After chit-chatting, we went back separately. Of course, waiting to take a cab is not easy at night too...as there is many people waiting for cab. We walked around Little India at night time. Wow!! There were many people & I see they bought a lot of stuffs.... Hmm..... what my friend told me earlier before going to Little India is TRUE. (Some little secret between my family & my friend now about this). ^_^

We reached hotel at about 11 sumthing. It is almost midnight. Hehe...

Interesting tour right? Walking around & tiring ourselves.

Stay tuned for my next post. 2nd day - was a bit of frustration but it turns out very fruitful. ^_^

Guess where I will be going? Heheh.... Stay tuned!

Vacation @ Singapore - 17th July 2010 (1st Day Trip - Part 2)

2010-09-26T13:11:00.006+08:00

It started to rain too when I am on my way to Chinatown area...Where did I go on my first day trip? Pictures show thousands of word. ^_^

First stop - China Square Central. Then, walking around here & there.
Second stop - Chinatown Point.
Third stop - People's Park Centre.
Oh, did you saw another Hotel 81? Yeah.... we did pass by Hotel 81 - Chinatown.

Forth stop - Street of old architectural building. I love too see the nice & beautiful architectural building.

Then, we pass by Hong Lim Complex & Hong Lim Park. Then, along walking all the way up to Riverwalk, you will pass by a lot beads shop. I bought a big magnifying glass stand from one of the shop there. Hmmm... did I bought any beads? The answer - NO as I think it is almost the same price I can get in K.L. ^_^

Fifth stop - We stopped at The Riverwalk. Enjoying sitting there after walking around. Elgin Bridge is just right in front of us & took few photos.

Next walking destination? Well, if you ask me, I had no purpose of where to walk... Just walking around. Hehehe... Follow on my next post for my SG trip.

Vacation @ Singapore - 17th July 2010 (1st Day Trip - Part 1)

2010-09-25T19:23:00.008+08:00

P/s: I just noticed that the earlier post was back dated on the date when I was first saved the draft. Earlier post should dated 25th Sep 2010 instead. Hahah!! Back to my SG trip story.

Once we arrived at Tanjong Pagar, we took cab service which was available right in front of the KTM Singapore station. The cab we took was a van instead. The van was quite comfy & the driver was very friendly. Uncle came along with his wife in the car.

Uncle was original from Penang but he came to Singapore at his early age. He shared his experience in Malaysia and Singapore. It is awesomely different. He also shows us where to get the bus & where to drop at as well as introducing the places we passed by since we first came to Singapore.

Okay, where do I booked the hotel? None of my friends & colleagues believe that I booked hotel at Geylang. (No need I explained much of this place.. Quite interesting at night time.. Hahaha!!)This is the cheapest rate I can get from the internet. Of course, dormitory type is much cheaper. However, my family preferred hotel services.

Hotel: Hotel 81 - Star
Location: Lor 18, Geylang

We arrived at the hotel at 9.30 a.m. The reception was very good as they allowed to checked in at 11 a.m. As such, we placed our luggage at their hotel & went for breakfast.

Geylang area: The surroundings.

The foods was so delicious & the most cheapest in town during my SG trip. (Okay, my friend told me that Geylang area have nice & cheapest foods)

Well, we get back to our hotel at 10:30 a.m. Guess what?? They allowed us to get our room earlier. Man!! This was great!! In addition, I made few local SG calls... & by end of the check out date, I need not to pay & they waived the calling charges!! Bravo!!

After resting in our room, we start our walking tours. The hotel I booked was very near to bus stop. It is so convenient & I really like SG's public transportation system.

So convenient. So informative.

Since I do not know where to stop for the places I wish to visit, I asked the passenger. They are so friendly and helpful to let me know where to stop. Phew!!

Follow on my next post on where I stopped on my first day trip.

Vacation @ Singapore - 16th July 2010 (Night) til 17th July 2010 (Morning)

2010-08-21T07:39:00.006+08:00

Thank you for stay tune with me. Sorry for the late update as I was busy with my assignment...Please bare with me ya!

This year I have my first oversea trip (boohooo...... Well, is true cos I am not as fortunate compared to others) to Singapore.

In this section, I will share my interesting walking tours in Singapore & my experience in this trip. Well, of course, planning the trip is not easy. If you plan not to have any headache planning the trip, you might opt to follow tours.

How to get to Singapore? There are many ways: Airplane, Car, Buses & Trains (KTM).

I went to Singapore using KTM. You might be thinking why do I choose this option cos airplane & buses are faster. There are reason behind why I choose to take KTM instead.

First: Always heard many accidents / robbery to the South.
Second: I had never tried sit train to other city. (This exclude Putra LRT & ERL)

Fare / Route:
The fare you can obtain from KTM website.

My trip: Sitting place @ RM34/person
Train chosen: Night train
Route: KL Sentral, KL to Tanjong Pagar, SG.
Time consumed: approx. 10 hours.
Where to purchase: KTM Intercity booth, KL Sentral, K.L.
Personal advice:
1. KTM Intercity is different than KTM Komuter. KTM Intercity is located opposite the hotel & near the taxi coupon booth.
2. Do remember to purchase return ticket. If you purchase in SG, it will costs you SGD34/person. Same value but change in currency only.

The trip starts from KL, Sentral. Sitting train was a great experience for me. You can listen to the railway track all the way to Singapore. KTM staff pushed their foods trolley to sell foods & drinks. Of course, I get to sleep in the train but sometimes you need to get up as you do not want to miss the stop right?

We reached Woodlands checkpoint for custom checking.

Checkpoint: Woodlands
Document required: White card (available at custom) & passport
What to bring down? Your luggage.

Thereafter, we hopped into the train again to reach Tanjong Pagar. You may exit at Woodlands as well too.

Story to continue at the following posting. Stay tuned.

Hello

Hello everyone....How are you? I hope everyone is doing fine.

Well, to those who newly came into my blog.... ahem.... don't think I disappeared in this blogging site loh... I just abandoned my blog for approx. 3 months compared to my personal blog which was approx. a yr. I was busy with my work & assignment. Apologies for the long silent to all loyal readers. Hehehe..... Okay, probably you might think, I din do anything crafty works right? Then, you might wrong.

In this silent period, I did do some crafty stuffs. Most of them was cards. Been thinking to expand my crafty ideas into higher level a little bit. ^_^ Working hard on it.... Beading?? Awww... Long time din touch cos was out of idea. However, loyal customer demand is there.. Thank you for your supports.

What will be my next plan? Bazaar starts soon in June 2010. Going to update my blog & FB-ing more. More planning on this blog.... Busy & drowning myself with assignment... Past month assignment,i.e. Biz Law really drives me crazy... The most crazy part is we still arguing whether our answer is correct or not after submitting the assignment.. Haha....

Stay tuned with my next blog posting on handmade cards.

Supposedly, I should post this prior to CNY. However, was way busy with my assignment & line was fluctuating everyday.

In any celebration occasion, I did not really look into how a shopping complex decorated their surrounding. This round, I went to Pavillion to see how actually they have decorated their shopping complex. Magnificent!! Cherry blossoms along the streets... Seems like in Japan...Hahah....

Have fun looking through the photos.

Cherry blossom streets..

Pavillion outside view - hanging RED lanterns & flowers spot.

What have I been doing so far??? Hmmm... (currently listening to "Kiss the Rain".... Damn nice song... Back to my topic.. Heheh...) Well, of course....

1. My full time work
2. My part time study
3. Spending my time with my mom & brother
4. Having great time with my fellow friends
5. Trying to relax myself... (Y not? After all, u need to spend some good times after work.)
~~6. Thinking of someone....?? (i hope too but it was a past tense now. Bumped him on the same scenario when we met first time but pretending dunno each other anymore. Well, it is a good way too..)~~
7.Not having great time with some of the friends.... This is real for sure... Cos some moron speaks without taking care of other people's feeling.
8. Having times to beads something... (Will post later) However, my mini beads dress failed & have to redo all over again. Sigh, I was using a lot of seed beads & it is very tiny holes.... -_-"
9. Flea market - postponed...
10. Etc....

That is all for now. If I were to list it out, it will be a long grandma story... ^_^

Yes, there are a lot despite of the recipe book. Well, I am not someone who really follows what they stated in the recipe book & LOVES TO AMEND THE RECIPE. Well, I can't exactly follow what they have written in the recipe book just because I don't have / want to buy some of the ingredient. Another thing is sometimes the recipe does not show the whole steps to make the dishes..Hahah... I believe some of you are same like me.

Here I will still state the original & steps of the recipe. Then, to show what exactly I did to amend the original recipe. Well, you can amend by yourself also.

Thanks to Hui Fen who has suggested this lovely place. It is nice, clean, superb, quiet place which I like.

Front view of Delicious Cafe.

A view in Delicious Cafe.

It's me with nice background.

Nice environment. White card - The restaurant menu.

As usual, we did our Xmas ex-change gift activity. Besides us, there are another group of guys did their gift ex-change in the restaurant. We were quite shock that guy (ONLY GUY) also did the gift ex-change program. It's kinda weird for us cos it's our first time to see bunch of guy exchange their present. Okay, it doesn't means anything la... Just curious. Heheh... It's quite fun to participate in gift ex-change activity.

Foods price is reasonable as it is same as per

Chamomile tea & a tin of Diet Coke.

Fish & Chip set.

Spicy Crab Spaghetti.

Nasi Kerabu.

Desserts - Strawberry Trifle.

The view...

After eating, we exchanged our gifts.... Heheh...

P.Yeeng gets Eva's gift / H.Fen gets P.Yeeng's gift / Eva gets H.Fen's gift.

My Xmas gift: Blue Scarf.

Outside view of the cafe.

Then, we walked to Pavillion & Sg. Wang from KLCC area. Walking distance is not near too but it's a good experience we had. Learn new "small" roads. Heheheh.... We made a stop at Pavillion to snap some photos.

The reindeer which I adores very much.

Thereafter, we went to Sg. Wang for our shopping. As for our dinner, we went to T-Bowl (Toilet Concept Restaurant which located at Sg. Wang). We know that some does not prefer this concept due to hygiene matter. Well, who cares? It is just a concept right?

The menu.

Part of the concept.

Sitting on the toilet bowl with basin as the table. There are decoration inside the basin too.

Here is our foods. You must be wondering how they will serve it right? A picture shows a thousand words.

Signature Giant (Hotdogs) & Donut Delight (Chocolate ice-cream).

Japanese Seafood (small steamboat set) & Cheese Baked Scallop.

Drinks.

My shopping goodies... (Spent a lot at KLCC). My wallet is "dripping water"... (^_^)""

Phew!! Long Xmas story right? Enjoy makan trip in KL? Hehehe.....
Stay tuned for more updates... Good night.

A visit to KL Tower @ 19/12/09

2010-01-02T19:09:00.007+08:00

You will be surprised if I told you that it was my first time to visit KL Tower after it has been built long time ago.

Thanks to Chrys who invited us for her very special occasion, i.e. her wedding dinner.

I was quite anxious as it was my first time to visit KL Tower. Nevertheless, we arrived there by 6 p.m. In order for us to get to the wedding dinner floor, we need to line up for lift. The lift was controlled by the KL Tower staff. Without the access card, you can't press any of the lift buttons & the lift goes up & down automatically. Why do I said so? Just bcos I experienced it on that day. After the cocktails session (prior to the dinner banquet), Chrys suggested us to go to the observation deck to have a look. It was located at 1st floor. Then, we get into the lift & stuck in the lift. The lift goes ups & downs & makes me a little bit dizzy. Luckily the staff noticed that the lift was going up & don & they SAVED us... Phew!! When you are in the lift, you felt like sitting in the airplane cos of the air impact in our ear. Hehe..

We went there & guess what? The view was not so good compared to 3rd floor where the banquet held. We did tried the binocular... Speaking of the binocular, I was dizzy after looking thru it. Everything was zoom in bigger size... (@_@)""

Below are the photos taken on this event.

View from 3rd floor. The golden triangle....

View from 3rd floor. Petronas Twin Tower.

The banquet view.

Gift: Chocolate & Mini KL Tower drinking bottle. They printed the wedding photo on it. So beautiful.

Jackfruit ice-cream. Nice!

Our beautiful bride of the day, Chrys. (L-R: Eva, Chrys, W.Yee & Jeanne)

View from 3rd floor. KL night view. The night view was amazing.

Here is a little information which I extracted from Wikipedia.
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KL_Tower)

The Kuala Lumpur Tower (officially known as Menara Kuala Lumpur, referred later as KL Tower) is a tall tower located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Its construction was finished in 1994. It is used for communication purposes and features an antenna that reaches 421m (1,381 ft.) which currently makes its fifth tallest freestanding tower in the world. The roof of the pod is at 335m (1,099 ft.). The rest of the tower below has a stairwell and an elevator to reach the upper area, which also contains a revolving restaurant, providing diners a beautiful view of the city.

Official website: http://www.menarakl.com.my/

Panaroma view of KL City from the observation deck.

It is worth to visit in such a nice occasion.! Thanks, Chrys. ^_*

Happy New Year 2010!

Happy New Year 2010!

It is a new beginning of the year. Looking back at the Year 2009, I have been occupied myself with lots of stuffs. There are ups & downs which happened around me. Last but not least, I missed to post my blog for approximately a month plus. Okay la... Was a bit busy & tension.. LOL.

Last year, few of my friends were asking me how actually I managed my time. Errrrrr.... Frankly speaking, is I do not know. Btw, please don't ask me why & how. ^_^

RESOLUTION??? Every year, people asked what is your resolutions of the year??? Hmmmm....... It's kinda hard to answer cos I have a lot in my mind. If I were to list it here, it will be a long long long list...................... So, ain't going to write it here. Just prioritize it.

My study was so far so good. It's kinda really hard to pick up when you have abandoned it for long time. I have abandoned it for approx. 6 years & right now, I continue to further my study in degree. Well, it is definitely a diversified one coz from Business Information Systems to Business Management. Hmmm... it is still Business in front right? Hahahah... Current wish list: Pass all subject with flying colours.

What about my blog? Hmmm.... last year was thinking how should I handle it. Should I separate it into 2 blogs where I create my handmade cards & jewelries. Another one will be my personal blog? To manage 2 blogs... Argghh...!! In order to save my time & blogging, I just put everything in one blog, i.e. Beads Garden Fashion. Well, to simplify, this blog will consists of what is happening around me, what am i doing so far, my handmade jewelries and cards, etc etc etc.. Of coz the blog URL will not be changed cos I am too lazy to change it. I like my blog name very much! ^_^

That's all for my granny story. Phew!! My long entry of the day. Stay tuned.

P/s: Going to bake some cookies.. Heheh..

Kolam Making Competition @ The Weld - 10 Oct 2009

2009-10-10T20:44:00.008+08:00

Hi Everyone...

How's life going on? Well, as for me.... busy busy busy... Heheh...

Today @ 10/10/09, I participated in Kolam Making Competition organized by The Weld. The team should have 3 persons in a team & the design theme is ONE MALAYSIA.

It is real hard for us to come out what we should do for it. A lot of ideas came into our mind & tried to put it in together. Despite of it, I sketched the design several times..... & finally the design should looks like this...

So, do you think it came out as expected? Nay, not really. Cos drawing 1D is definitely easy with pen /pencil. When it comes to KOLAM, it is really hard. WHY?? Cos all of us never did it before. Our first time to do so... Heheh.....

Rumi: Filling the hibiscus with colored rice (red + orange).

We started the design with our Malaysia national flower = Hibiscus. It's kinda hard.

Material used: Corn flour, colored rice, biji sago (green), white rice & shiny dust powder.

Well, we did not follow exactly the design on the sketch.

Eva: Drawing the ketupat outline.

Both of us posing in front of the camera man.

So, are you wondering where is my another team mate? Haha... Actually I forget to ask some snap the photo. Sorry ya, Lissa. ^_^

It is only 2 hours for us to complete the KOLAM. Our team starts with me, later Rumi joined & lastly Lissa. Of course, a lot of people asking where is my team mate. Nevertheless, everyone came. Phew!! Thanks to Rumi & Lissa who came even tough her family / herself is not feeling well. Being a mom is not easy as I can say.

Our results of KOLAM design is as below picture.

(L: Front view. | R: Side view.)

Mr. Jega from India Cultural Art Association (hopefully I spell the name & association correctly) guided us a little bit of the Kolam art. He is real good teacher / artisan. A lot of advice, comment, critic (sorry if I say so - it's true from my heart) from him..

Pros:-
1. Contemporary arts.
2. Naive arts.
3. One type of art which can be found in India. (confirmed by my team mate as well)

Cons:-
1. Made a mistake on the purple dust on the white rice.
2. If view from the above, the dust will looks like a spot.
3. My team member a little bit late.. (who cares. they are not feeling well but at last they came.)

Findings:-
1. TRUE (the spot facts). But, we don't give it a damn on it cos first time & trial. For us, it still looks good.

Real team plays hard work to do it. YEAH!!

The judges came to look at every Kolam being made by 9 teams. We have to explain our theme as well. It is not easy cos is just like presentation. Hahaha..

As a result, what we gained? Consolation prize award - a hamper & complimentary cash vouchers from The Weld.

(L: Our prize. | R: Us with our Kolam & hamper.)

Oh, we looked around for VVIP for photography session.

Us with Beverly.

Us with one of the judges.

Us with Mr. Jega. Personally, he is a great advisor. Real artisan. Learn a lot from him today.

Thereafter, we went to Deli-France for our lunch. Real hungry.... We opened up the hamper & see what is inside the envelope.

What's inside?

Hohoho.... Cash vouchers from LINEN & Things, Automatter Facial Express, Pristine Dry Cleaning & Laundry & O'Briens.

My super delicious lunch after all the hard work.

My treats from my team mate. Thank you.

It was tiring day for 3 of us. Last but not least, a good team work & experience. Learn the cultural of Malaysia. 1 Malaysia, Truly Asia.

The view of the area of all the KOLAM view.....

Stay tuned ya!

Eatery @ Seoul Garden, OUG

2009-08-16T19:48:00.001+08:00

Where I am eating this round. My friend recommended me to eat Korean foods. It's been long since the last Korean foods (we talks about REAL Korean foods) I had at Mont Kiara. Oh, I can't remember the shop name but I know it is somewhere near the bank & located at 1st floor.

This round I went to Seoul Garden located at OUG. Today, when I am on my way to my institution centre, I saw this Korean BBQ shop at Kerinchi LRT. No wonder it is so familiar when I went to OUG to had my Korean foods. FYI, there is another shop located at Kerinchi LRT which is facing the Federal Highway. Very easy to find it. ^_^

17/08/09 22:00-My friend just told me that it is not the same shop. Yet I saw the signboard is in Yellow + Kid picture on the logo. Anyhow, have to check it out again by this coming Sunday when I'm on my way to the institution centre.

As usual, I would say a picture shows a thousand of words.

Korean BBQ ~ Seoul Garden (Menu Book)

My glass of Barley Tea... RM1 / glass.

One of the wall paper I like. Showing the 4 seasons. I would love to sit on the floor but only 2 persons. So we sit at the table & chair corner... Heheh..

Another view of Korean miniatures display.

It's me. I like my curl this round.

It's me with the menu, my glass of Barley tea & the view at the restaurant. Clean & bright right?

The foods galore....(I would suggest you took this with 3 persons. I was too full on that night)

Pei Yeeng who acts as a cook of the day... Wahahaaha...

Me with the foods galore....The food taster... We had our Kimchi steamboat..Hehehe.

Was the food is GOOD? Yes, indeed is very DELICIOUS~!! Even the lady boss was nice too. Their customer service was good. BTW, I was not paid for this but irresistible to write how good is the lady boss. The lady boss was so good & ask us whether the foods is okay for both of us (2 ladies). Hey, I have been into so many restaurant, never even the boss / cook asked our feedback. Heheh... Even the waiter helped us to cook our steamboat. Really appreciate their hard work to treat us (customer) at their best level.

That is all for now. Stay tuned~!!

Wired Ring (Testing)

2009-08-13T20:49:00.000+08:00

Back to Wire Basic. Oh... dumped for so long for my wiring. Anyhow, today I made an effort to make a wire ring. Eh, first time doing this. Mostly, I do more on earring... just some bending part but not really like twisting here & there..

Below is my testing results. I made use of the cat's eye beads & 0.6mm copper wire.
Here is the results.

Quite okay right? I am still way to improve on it. Hehehe....

Next round, I will use the non-tarnish wire to make this earring. Stay tune for a simple tutorial for this wire ring.

Gemstones Meanings

2009-08-13T18:59:00.000+08:00

Why all of the sudden of gemstones? Nothing much cos I just want to try more type of beads....Hehehe...

Anyhow, we do loves gemstones right? So do I. But, how you really know about the gemstones?

Still remember my last post about my bracelet>rose quartz, moonstone & sunstone??
(http://beadsgardenfashion.blogspot.com/2009/08/bracelet-b053.html)

Below are the meaning of the gemstones I have chosen in my earlier design where I loves their color so much.
(source: http://www.crystal-cure.com/gemstone-meanings.html)

Meaning of Moonstone Gemstone: passionate love that will fly you to the moon

It is said if you give your lover a moonstone necklace when the moon is full, you will always have passion with each other. Moonstone is a highly values gemstone for these reasons:-

a) Brings good fortune
b) Assists in foretelling the future
c) Enhances intuition
d) Promotes inspiration
e) Brings success in love as well as business matters
f) Offers protection on land and at sea

The moonstone is associated with the moon and was the stone of the goddess Diana. The most powerful time to use the moonstones is in a full moon.

It has been worn as an amulet to bring good emotions to the wearer, while protecting those of a sensitive nature. It can reunite lovers who have quarreled. Moonstone is also considered a good luck stone.

Moonstone is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who owns it. It does not add or detract, only shows how it is. This is why the moonstone is said to perceive that which "is". Moonstone is an excellent stone to use in meditation to understand oneself. Placing it in the moonlight of a moon reaching its fullness, not a full or waning moon, can revitalize it. This is a particularly good gemstone for women. It is a good stone for young women or teenagers.

Healing properties of Moonstone:-
Moonstone is used by healers to stimulate the functioning of the pineal gland and balance internal hormone cycles with nature's rhythms. Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength. Though often considered to be a woman's stone, it can be beneficial to men in opening the emotional self.

Meaning of Sunstone:-
Sunstone was associated with the Sun during the Rennaissance because of its sparkling orange-gold hue. It was used by magicians to call upon the influences of the sun. It is a protective stone.

Placed before a white candle,sunstone will spread protective energies throughout your home.

Symbolically, sunstone is linked to moonstone. Carry the two stones together to bring the influences of the Sun (Healing, Protection, Success) into harmony with those of the Moon (Love, Peace, Spirituality). Sunstone is worn to:

a) Give you extra energy when you are ill or under stress
b) Stimulate sexual arousal and increase sexual energy
c) Increase self-healing power
d) Promotes harmony among the organs functions

Sunstone stimulates your personal power of attraction as well.

Meaning of Rose Quartz: Your marriage can have more sparkle and fire when you keep a rose quartz under your pillow. You will look younger too.

Rose quartz is known as the love stone. It helps the user feel a strong sense of self-worth, therefore being worth love. Rose quartz is the stone of universal love. It is also the stone of love in marriage. When worn in jewelry the wearer feels a sense of self-worth.

Healing properties of Rose Quartz:-

Rose Quartz has a gentle vibration of love for the owner. It gives inner peace and helps in all matters pertaining to love in all its forms. Rose Quartz opens the heart to love. It also helps as a rejuvenator to the skin. It is a lovely stone for a young person.

It is said washing the face in water charged by rose quartz will help fade winkles and keep the skin young.

Despite of being in beading, crystal / gemstones also being used in Tarot reading. Well, that is part of my learning knowledge.. Heheh...

Stay tuned~!!

I have been thinking very hard whether to further my study. Well, being encourage by my brother & my mom, I decided to further my study for Degree level. Oh, my brother & I need to earn own money for study ya! So, it is real hard earn money. (*sob sob*) Previously, I opt for not further my study due to few reasons.

Psst... do you know that you can further study using your EPF? Well, I am using my EPF to further my study. I opt for not taking any study loan as you need to payback to loan institution which they charge interest on it. Meanwhile, EPF is your hard earn money & you no need to pay the loan+interest. Use it wisely. Just my 2 cents advice.

Last but not least, I might update my blog once / twice a week due to my schedule is pack. Meanwhile, I will update my new creation too. I have 3 bracelet, 1 pendant & 1 charm not updated. Wondering when I have the time as I need daylight. Sigh!!

Just stay tuned! Do visit Beads Garden Fashion at The Weld on every Saturday!

Bukit Tinggi, Pahang (Half Day Trip)

2009-07-26T09:40:00.000+08:00

2nd holiday trip (team building~sponsored by client) at Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.

This is my first time visit to this place. A nice place for relaxing, quiet & green environment to visit after long hours of work.

It took us for an hour to reach here. On our journey, we played get-to-know each other game. It is funny & interesting guessing game.

The view of the main entrance at Colmar Tropicale.

L: At the tower deck. Nice balcony!
R: A view of the french building design.

View from tower.
L: Roads & houses view at hill side. I wish I can get one of the house.. but it is not a cooling place...Wahaha..!
R: The inside view of Colmar Tropicale.

The wishing well.

Then, we went to Botanical Garden by taking the shuttle service. It is quite far from Colmar Tropicale if you opt for walk.

The signage.

Morning Glory.
This reminds me about the classes name in my secondary school time, "Seri Pagi" in Form 1, 3 & 5.

L: The KOI pond. Large fish ~ living healthy!!
R: One of the tree branch. Looks like spiders.

It's me @ Botanical Garden.

We stopped at the rest station. We played for another team building game ~ Helium stick! Replaced the stick with straw. Then 2nd round, balancing with my STAR earring. Hahaha..!! Everyone is complaining the straws! Haha....

Then, we went to Japanese Village.

Stone steps to Japanese village.

Japanese House. RM 20 for 30 minutes visit in the house. None of us go in. Heheh...

Nice green scenery at Japanese Village. Good place for photo shooting. Wondering I can bring my handmade here for photo shooting.... ^_^

Something artistic... A photo shoot direct from the Japanese light sculpture.

After these sight seeing, we went for our lunch. Ate some pasta, salads, pizzas & desserts. The foods is quite nice but of course expensive a little bit due to tourist place. Their Pizzas is quite unique. Fruity pizzas ~ to try it next visit.

That is all about my 2nd trip this year.

Stay tuned with Beads Garden Fashion for their offline venue soon.

P/s: Sorry for the inactive update due to personal reasons. Of course, I still enjoy what I am enjoying now. Just stay tuned!

2nd day tour starts at 9.30 a.m. & ends at 5.30 p.m. which is only for 8 hours. So, we have to rush here & there.

On our way to Oriental Village & Cable Car.

When we are on the way to Oriental Village & Cable Car, we passby the yatch area which is just located behind the Petronas station. Not sure what is the name for this place.

L: Our small van on 2nd day. Awfully, this van does not have good air-cond. So, my trip is abit warm..
R: Nice building right behind the Petronas station.

Yatch Area

Yatch parking zone...

L-R: Jade, L.Har, Eva, Jess & Lilian (exposes too much to the sun..)

After photo snapping, we continue our journey to our destination. Oh, we saw a lot of buffaloes along the road side.

L: Buffalo crossing the road.
R: Pantai Awam (Public Beach) near the yatch area. Heard from our tour guide, it is a man-made beach & the area was bought by Korean people.

Animals Garden

A view inside Oriental Village. There is a pond of water lilies too.

The main entrance to Cable Car.

Note: There is one area which introduces the mountains & stones. Make sure you read it before going up the mountain. You will have a clearer picture when you are up there. Meanwhile, do some research / read Geography area before going up too.

Since, we are not able to get the "complimentary ticket" as souvenirs, I snapped this for my remembrance. Hand shaking.......

Ticket entrance which is same like "Touch N' Go" card. Must be kept all the way & to be returned when you coming down from the mountain.

Note: RM30.00 (with MyKad, your entrance fee is RM15.00 only) Worth it!

While waiting our turn to get into the gondola to step on Gunung Matchinchang, we snaps some photos too.

Me waiting for my turn to get into the cable car.

Note:
1. 1 gondola can allow 6 persons.
2. Our group have 6 ladies... So, all fit into 1 gondola.
3. Actually, we wanted to have 3 persons in a gondola but the operator don't allow.
4. So, if you are going in a group with 6 or more, please make sure that all of you spilt into few groups & pretend don't know each of the group while waiting for your turn to get into it. Otherwise, you will be "forced" into 6 per gondola. This is my 2 cents advice but not sure it works.. Hehe..

Cable Car (Going up the Gunung Matchinchang)

S.Har (our sporting "大姐"), Eva & L.Har (大姐的妹妹). Hmm... the RED gang.

A view of the cable car journey length..

In order for us to get to the Pedestrian Bridge, there is a route we need to pass thru before arrived at this point. All we have to do is walk along the trek. Walking the jungle treks which is designed probably with stair case. Probably is just about 10-15mins for the trek. I forget to time it.

Note: Remember to bring towel if you are a big sweater.
