How to fill polystyrene into beanbag?
My friend said got to have 2 or more to help filling in, but I only have myself on doing this!I stable my inner layer beanbag by tying one side to the window, and stable another side at the drawer chest.
Instead of buying a plastic sheet, I dug out an old file, took out all the papers, fold it into cone shape fix the shape with cellophane tapes.
Cut a hole at the one side of bottom of the packet, instead of open up the packet of polystyrene (the mouth is too big to control) pour them in bit by bit, it might be slow and took a longer time, but it was hassle free to me.
Trust me, you can do it alone! Because I just did it.
Handmade Good Stuffs
Here are things I have sewn by using Jenome sewing machine
which I got it free from a government programme. I've learned to sew beanbags and other basic usage of sewing machine.Floral Recycle Bag is what I thing very practical, I like to use recycle bags, instead of holding different packs of goodies, I prefer to put everything in the bag and carry on my shoulder, especially for someone like me staying in walk-up apartment at level 4!
Well, I do sell them, please leave a message if you would like to buy one.
RM20 for each Floral Recycle Bag, I only made three, different in the colour of its straps, Dark Brown, Light Brown and Green.
RM250 for beanbag each filled with 2kg of polystyrene beads, RM30 per kg.

难以置信的事实
这是由马来西亚妇女家庭社会发展部主办，苹果缝纫艺术中心协办的两天课程-Pakej Teman 1 Azam，除了免费学费之外，一切需用到的用具，布料，工具都是免费，千真万确，一台Jenome缝纫针车完全免费！上帝真正好，本来这样的课程十一年来都只供给马来同胞，因为副部长王赛芝三年前不断的争取，我们是这个政府计划受惠的第一批350个华人。在这两天，负责教导我们的是蔡老师，Charlin 还有几位马来助手，他们都很有耐心。
我们从一开始的等不急待到最后一分钟变为极为心急，哈，因为大家都赶着完成第一个beanbag。
这么一个待遇真难以置信，缝纫针车一直都是我想要的工具，我要做好多好多的东西，每次逛Carefour的时候都会绕道去家庭用具部门看一看缝纫针车是否有个好价钱，许多年来。。。都只是望梅止渴。
上帝啊!你太好了，你没把我漏掉！感谢这一次帮忙我报名的Cynthia姐妹。 谢谢你！

Cranberry Shortbread packaging
It has come to an end, Valentine's day has just over, busyness has gone, tireness is the one clinging on me now. Have been doing photos organising this afternoon, upload some photos of the making of cranberry shortbread, this is the collage that made out from all little tiny detail of what I have been busy about.Beside baking, all the glass jars were being washed before used, filling in cookies into jar, tying trio ribbons and label, packing party packs for someones special!
Happy busy days I have had! Praise the Lord for every new day!
The Wind chime
Day comes and day goes
When oh when is the day that was told?
There hung the wind chime years ago
Winds come and winds go
Sing to your heart, sing till you old
Wind chime glow when wind blow
Where oh where will the wind go?
Blow it high, blow it low
Swinging fast or swinging slow
There I need the wind to show!
Sigh!

不一样的新年
一天突而其来的想法，烘制我最喜爱的饼干并且加上包装，拍了照片上载到面子书的相册开始发售，出乎意料的成绩，朋友无穷的支持让我受宠若惊，从起初的忧心，失眠，直到感受妈妈的爱与关怀，还有她无限的付出与帮助，其实她一直以来都是这样，不曾离弃我，每分每秒都很关心我，偶尔我还会嫌她太唠叨了；她的支持协助我‘发’了人生第一次新年财，让我过一个不一样的新年。
大部分的人因为他们每一年公司都至少发一个月的花红给员工，一路以来我都只是教琴，即使从前在学院教课，都不曾拿过一分，没有试过领花红，这种感觉从来没发生过。。。。
所以今年的华人新年，虽然比一些人付出多一点的劳力，从中我享受烹烤的乐趣，领受妈妈的关爱，上广场购物时心里涌出了不一样的满足感！
Chap Goh Meh Air Hitam Waterfall Hike
It has been quite a long time haven't been to waterfall, hiked Tabur West many times, this event was set together with my new Hainanese friend Felix that I met last Saturday Sukee gathering, he is a lone ranger, have done many hikings alone.Air Hitam waterfall is in Puchong Putri, a beautiful place just in our neigbourhood.
I was surprised and amazed by her beauty, pool is ocean green in colour, crystal clear water, I can see my toes even though the water level almost touches my chin. I sat on the rock, was trying so hard to capture her beauty, with my limited skill and the limited features of this camera I am having, I am satisfied.
I could just sit on the rock watching her beauty, enjoying her singing, awesome work of God's creation. Speechless.... Thankful for God.
