Assalamualaikum..

here are the chunks, with a different mix..

do take a look.

(scroll down)

cun tak?
(scroll down. hehe)

I mixed the Mixed Chunks (that would be the biggest section besides the white)

(oh you know, the turmeric plus pandan that was mixed with the colourless MP-refer previous post)

with white MP and arranged the individual chunks (green and golden orange) altogether..

(all are Melt & Pour soap base that I mixed with Aloe Vera gel-blended-fresh from my dad's garden, 
Virgin Coconut Oil and Honey)

First half of the pics are the ones freshly out of the mold 

(a tupperware really)..

 

  i divided it into 2..

and cut it into 4..

pics, next half, are the ones that's i've 'cleaned' up a bit.

 one a tad too much!

inspired by pasito a pasito.. modern art..

....

when am i gonna start with my CP!!!!

(heavy sigh)

=)

Assalamualaikum..

Its been awhile..

been busy at the office, googling recipes for soaps, drooling over images of soap.. 

but not having (ehem..making) the time untuk buat satu soap pun!!

sebenarnya, tak jugak..

I did, last month, not a CP soap, just an MP soap. 
m masih ada MP yang m perlu habiskan.. lazy!!!

i tried making the chunk soap but i totally used the wrong colours.. :(

full story.. incoming...!

mixed clear MP base with 15 ml of aloe vera (isi jernih yang diblend) with 10ml of VCO and 5ml of honey or was it more. tak ingat lah, tapi memang m letak sume tu.

divide it to 3, 
one with pandan colour 
(real pandan blended with water to get the colour okay!),  

  
another with turmeric 

 and the final one remain colourless.

i havent used it so tak tau la if the turmeric pigments will stain your skin..
meaning kulit berkemungkinan bakal jadi kuning.. 
ala kalau ye pun, sikit je kut, no harm, its just kunyit! 
bukannya artificial colouring pun..
dan memang ada juga masa-masanya kita sental kulit kita dengan kunyit pun kan.. 
bila pergi sesetengah spa atau sendiri buat kat rumah.. 
(tapi rasa-rasanya tu kunyit hidup kut..) 
apa-apapun..point utamanya kunyit hidup atau kering, dua-dua leh jadi kuning.

well, yes, back to the colour combination used..

the pandan and turmeric was made into chunks 

and the clear MP is colourless laa.. haha

no, clear MP not made into chunks. not made into anything yet..
i left it in the pot biar dia keras
sebab m tengah buat yang 2 kaler tu dulu. 
later baru m cairkan balik dan...

poured the clear MP into a tupperware and dumped the chunks inside 
so as it turned out, since they are all clear abislaa colour tu.. !!?!
tak nampak sangat kaler hijau biru (from the pandan) and golden orange tu (turmeric)..

sedih! 
m patut guna white base 
and then dropped the chunks in, should be beautiful..

but dont fret, 
i still have the chunks available, 
just need to 'make' time to melt the white base in..

maybe i'll do that soon...

Sarcastic? umm.... no..

Assalamualaikum..

...

i seem to have a problem conversing with others..

it seems that the only people that can tolerate me is my one & only,

bestest friend forever and ever..

even me hubby is STILL trying. haha

m nya social skills nampaknya makin negatif.. kut..

people cannot distinguish my normal sentences from the sarcastic ones,

when m not even being sarcastic.

ouch!

fact: i use the right words at a particular moment

but ada je perkataan lebih baik yang patut m gunakan bila difikir balik,

plus the fact yang m nya tone bila bercakap pun tak bertapis,

without me realising it of course..

;)

kalau nak m fikir dulu SETIAP kali m cakap alamat tak bercakap sangat la m.

(mesti ada orang tu suka tau..kalau m tak bercakap)

dah laa m ni, bila start bercakap, lambat sikit nak berhenti.. hehe

(yang ni memang ketara, bila melepak dengan kawan-kawan lama.

tapi dah lama pun tak lepak, tak tau la cakap banyak lagi ke tak...)

:(

...

fact: i have to admit m ni jenis yang tembak dulu baru tanya soalan.

it works but I cant really recall exactly if it works ALL the time or just MOST of the time..

janji boleh pakai, walau sekejap..

hahaha

...

i think i have to learn to smile sambil bercakap, SENTIASA.

which is totally IMPOSSIBLE in my case because i CANT do it.

(please dont talk to me about positive thinking, it just doesnt work on me)

m not totally refusing it but what you see is what you get.

i dont hide what i feel, MOST of the time.

or is it ALL the time..

hmmm..

so kalau m tengah buat keje and m tengah stress takkan m nak terus senyum kat orang.

(pernah gak buat)

tp tak sincere laa..

nak from the heart lambat sikit aa kan...

....

cemane ye..

ada idea?

....

....



Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!

Salam,

Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri!!

Maaf Zahir & Batin!!

kalau m ada buat salah kt sesapa,

yang nampak atau tak nampak,

yang sengaja atau tak sengaja,

mintak maaf banyak-banyak la ye.

bila masuk bab-bab cam ni, m bukannya tau bila m akan tinggalkan korang semua pun..

(kalau m leh pikir ni and lebih tertib dalam solat m, lebih bagus kan - banyak sebenarnya yang masih perlu dibetulkan. m harap m sempat sebelum tiba waktunya, InsyaAllah..)

Ramadhan dah lepas, puasa sememangnya tak penoh.

 jadi masa untuk menggantikannya adalah sekarang..

Posa nam dulu pastu posa ganti.. pastu posa selang sehari lak, kalau larat.

Kalau larat... habiskan yang kena ganti dulu tau..

mana tau boleh memperbaiki diri dengan berpuasa..

(solat tu cuba-cubalah completekan 5 ye, a reminder for you and me)

m tak kata it can completely get rid of all your bad habits

but it surely can help and mana tau,

dengan izin Allah,

betul2 bad habits yang tertentu leh vanish secara total.

m banyak buat salah, m tau.

(m tulis ni hanya peringatan untuk m,

lebih kepada diri m sendiri,

benda baik kita cuba contohi kan..

benda yang tak baik, kita cuba jauhkan..)

sepanjang hidup m, memang banyak salah m buat.

m rasa macam tak terkira jadi di waktu Ramadhan yang baru lepas ni,

m ulang-ulang doa standard m hampir setiap kali lepas solat.

mengharapkan keampunan dari Allah Subhanahuwataala.

mengharapkan macam-macam lagi.

untuk dunia & untuk akhirat..

untuk m,

untuk keluarga m,

untuk umat Islam..

....

tapi sekarang pun dok buat salah jugak lagi..

tak taula pasai apa tak leh nak fikir secara waras.

ketenangan tu lari lak di bulan Syawal ni..

perkara-perkara negatif lebih menguasai m..

(setan dah terlepas wei, setan ORI dan setan dalam diri sendiri, dua-dua bahaya)

heard that people yang stress akan lebih mendapat penyakit.. kalau boleh tak nak la kan..

kalau boleh m nak happy sentiasa.. tapi macam payah lak recently.

masa raya haritu memangla happy beb..

dapat makan banyak lepas hampir sebulan control makan..

walaupun tak dapat duit raya macam masa kecik-kecik dulu.

(dan walaupun m miss nak makan apom teloq m setiap kali balik kampung

oh, sungguh geram dan bengang!!)

balik kampung, pegi shopping, semua tu memangla best..

balik KL, tetiba post holiday blues lak..

kerja tetap kena pegi, mana nak cekau duit beb kalau tak gi keje, betul tak?

nak duduk rumah kang, tengok TV je memanjang,

badan masuk angin lak nanti, pening sebab lama sangat tengok TV.

pernah jadi sebab tu leh cakap. 

(lagipun cuti tahunan pun dah nak abis jadi ni berangan je lebih.)

....

bila la nak start ada keje sendiri kan..

can arrange your own working hours..

takde la kena masuk jam 8 pagi... lewat la sikit..

tapi tetap kena berdisiplin dalam menghasilkan idea/produk/etc.

itu penting!! kalau tak, lingkupla bisnes che mek ooi!!

....

malam tadi tak leh nak tido,

pas jam satu pagi kut baru tido,

badan masuk angin, sakit kaplaku..

sebab pagi Ahad tu lambat makan..

(semua berhubungkait, lambat makan sebab lambat bangun, lambat bangun sebab malam sebelum tu layan cerita Shutter Island-confirm -jokingly- m pun bakal dapat a twisted mind like Leo in the movie, not as dangerous as him though but dangerous enough)

minum air segelas (time ni dah mandi dan siap untuk kuar k),

bawak budak-budak kuar g tengok movie,

ingatkan sempat la g beli hotdog ke, popcorn ke..

tapi orang dok beratur bukan main panjang memang tak sempat le..

last last skali makan pas jam satu tengahari..

nak petang kepala dah kasi hint hint dah,

 so petang tu tido la jap ingatkan leh ilang

tengok tengok dia attack malam tadi lak..

best..

nasib baik jugak leh layan Game of Thrones kat TV.

jadi takdela nak layan kepala sangat kan

(ni bab degil, sebab leh je paksa diri tido awal sebab sakit kepala

tapi nak jugak tengok cerita tu)

best wei, geram sebab dia bersiri je, kan senang kalau dia leh combine sume siri skali.

last last bila nak tido tu,

macam-macam dugaan yang mengganggu keinginan untuk tido.. letih wei!!

dengan post holiday blues lagi, dengan nak masuk keje pagi tu lagi..

dengan otak yang dok fikir benda-benda yang tak patut pikir lagi..

macam-macam lah!

semalam ayah tanya nak posa dak, m kata okay dan m kata tak nak bangun sahur.

ha, memang tak bangun pun!

makan tidak, minum pun tidak!

pagi tadi alarm dah bunyi banyak kali.

dan seperti biasa m akan offkan setiap kali m dengar.

tu la pasal!

tapi biasa kalau niat posa, badan tak masuk angin.

Alhamdulillah..  ;)

tapi pengakhiran untuk hari ni m belum tau..

let's find out!

blue or yellow..

blue untuk hari yang sedih

yellow untuk hari yang ceria.

chao!!

think think think!

Assalamualaikum..

Been so busy this week.

The only day yang m tak busy was the day I updated this blog,

which was on Wednesday.

Thursday felt like a Monday and

Friday (today) does not really feel like a Friday

even though I'm writing a post as we speak.

Since the final post in July..

bermacam2 perkara bermain dalam fikiran m,

sekiranya m mulakan proses membuat sabun CP (Cold Processed) tu.

(fuiyoo, berbahasa lak kita!)

 

To start..

I have to get a good basic recipe,

get my equipments ready

and only then can I start.

m not trying to delay anything

but I need to finish my MP soap first.

I dont know if I'm going to combine a CP and an MP together just yet

so I think might as well I create some MP's first.

........

hmm..

time to do more thinking...

!!!

Sharing is Caring..

Assalamualaikum..

when I started this blog, i didnt know whether to write this blog in English or Bahasa, 

since I'm not so fluent in both, (really!) in the end it became a rojak!!

I'm going to try and write this particular blog in English and let's see how this fares..

...

i m still wondering why I started this blog..

of course there are many things I can share.. 

yes, MANY Many many things I can share ..

that I dont even know where to start!!

i've shared about my luck with my cooking skills which isnt much.   ;)

my attempt to find out what i like to do as a hobby 

and eventually a start in my own business..

some people say dont.

well, i know I've read a blog somewhere that says just that. 

ok, so it's not some people, just someone. 

dont what? dont turn your hobby into a business. 

why? i dont know. 

i think its to avoid hating your hobby 

if the business doesnt turn out so well. perhaps..

a friend suggested that i include the paper clippings that i keep on arts and recipes etc.  

this was on FB, when i updated my status mentioning the clippings 

so she suggested that i do that.

but i cant scan those.. i can snap pictures of it but it will not look nice, 

i doubt that you can even read them. 

and i'm too lazy to get the scanner over and attach it to this computer. 

this is my hubby's desktop. our general desktop is currently OOO 

and my hubby doesnt want to fix it just yet.. o i dont know why, ask him yourself  :p 

...

i've always liked to do many things with my own hands.. arts, tools, DIY etc

I've heard ayah used the words (not on me, of course) 

"Jack of all trades, but a master of none."

I feel that way..

well, I'm no jack of ALL trades just one or two.

a master at something? nope!

I've tried my hands on the bunga telur (bunga dip/dipped flowers) and 

bunga telur (bunga kertas/paper) when i got married.

Bunga Telur (Bunga Kertas)

the pink ones above are the ones made from coloured paper.

Bunga Telur (Bunga Dip)

 

 these green+white ones are the bunga dip, i added glitter!  =)

designs are from one of two hantaran (gifts) books I bought.

(Thank you to my hubby for helping me out with the flower petals for the bunga telur (bunga kertas) for the kenduri and to my cousins for helping me out with the bunga telur (bunga dip) for the hantaran during the nikah-solemnisation ceremony.)

this is the best picture i could get on the dipped ones..

this (top) was a picture from the photographer, nice colour ha. so pink!

this (below) is the Pelamin (wedding dais)

by Sutera Artistic

...

Hantaran (Wedding Gifts)

i made my own hantaran for the nikah, a very very very simple display of hantaran. 

the design for the sireh junjung is from a newspaper article, 

the chocolates from a book of hantaran designs, 

i did not bake the cake, i just poked the roses on top of the cake.

the rest is just arrange this, hide this, add this and voila!

i like the dangling chocolates, 

and the cinnamon was from my husbands aunt (she has a cinnamon tree!!)

the base is made from dark chocolate.

so you can practically eat everything except, 

of course the wires, the choc wrappers and the red dipped flowers..

yes, it was the final touchup because the rose dropped off!

 Red and green, not bad ha..  

(these red flowers are the ones my cousins helped to make. 

they stayed up till 2 am, or was it 3, to help me with this. 

i was too shy to ask for help and i thought i could do it all by myself..

shame on me)

Relish....

Centrepiece

made the tiny potpourri centrepiece for the kenduri at Kampung Pengantin.

 

Glass Art

i tried glass art. it was just a bottle and 4 shot glasses 

(this was supposed to be a present for my hubby's friends' wedding 

but he didnt approve of a handmade pressie for his friend 

so i gave it away to one of my friends. 

well, yes. that's how i interpreted it anyway.)

 

Made another one, but not as nice as the first. 

and the third one is not yet finished 

(still waiting for my interest on it to blossom, yet again! haha!)

so now, my latest interest is MP. 

not really an interest, but a way to start. 

before i start on my CP.

i cant wait!!! =)

Blogging Made easy.. hmm..

Assalamualaikum..

been uploading pictures in my coming post.. 

taking almost 3 hours plus!!

since I have so much to share.. haha  =)

the uploading part i think i can do without.. 

seriously.. 

mengambil masa yang terlalu lama. 

there's probably a way to shorten the uploding time, 

by making my pics smaller, byte size, I think... 

dan semestinya size matters!!

m rasa by the time m habis upload pictures, 

m pun dah tak larat nk berblog.. for today that is.. :)

i guess i'd have to create something before i start blogging again..

heheheh 

(imagine me with a very cheeky smile)

...

like my latest MP soap.. 

I cant wait to tell you all about it!

(over lak font size kan, but m so excited!! wowie!!)

seriously, m dah redo bentuk aloe+VCO MP soap tu. 

(btw, m letak honey sikit dlm MP soap tu, lupa lak nak mention dalam post sebelum ni.)

dah tangkap gambar dah, tinggal nk upload je.. 

sabun pun dah tinggal satu je, yang lain samada sedang digunakan atau dah habis.  =)

abis tu, takkan nak buat perhiasan je kan.. mestilah m guna..

dan recently, 

m ada buat yang baru...

(sambil mengangkat kening dan memberi senyuman yang nakal)

but that will be in a different post..

mana leh cerita semua kat post nih.. 

tak aci laaa..

hahahaha
