Keep moving…

victory

…I am so inspired I woke up with a very active brain. The people I met, activities and events I attended, books I read and things I saw are giving a lot of inspirations. I feel so much alive to keep myself heading towards my goals.

To kick start my action plan, I will spend my holidays with making a harem pants with the new fabric I bought a few days ago and a baby belly bag (rice bag) – I don’t know the name of it yet for a friend of mine, a grandma soon to be. There are a few more things in the list but, mum’s the word until I got them done. I don’t wanna jinx it. 😛

I wish all the Malaysians, Happy Independent Day and Happy Holidays! With love, Melle.

A Colorful Wednesday…

gift from India

Wednesday is my best day because it is Yoga day. And today an extra smile added on my face when I got a gift from guru Shammee. She got me a very beautiful note book from India. I like the color combination and every sewing details on it. What I like the most is it’s handmade, which is what I believe. 😀

India is one of the places that I’m interested to visit. Now I got inspired to work for this trip one day… Ale ~

Appreciate it with all my heart. Namaste, Shammee.

Happy Chinese New Year 2011

Hop~ hop~ Here’s the t-shirt rabbit that I mentioned before from my previous post – Soft Toy Postcard. Instead of making it a key chain, I ignored the strap and added a magnet into it.

Tada~ now I have a new magnet for my fridge. Yay. 新年新年万万岁. 快乐快乐 everyday !! (A chorus from Astro – CNY song – 2009. There are many more nice CNY songs from MY Astro. Here’s some my favourites. 惜福 大日子. 天天好天. 福气. Am proud of them !!) 😉

Wishing you all a very Happy Chinese New Year !! Gong Xi Fa Cai from me to you !!

Rojak Story

Again, CNY is getting closer. Weekend is getting busier. And guess what? We had a pre-CNY-family-reunion about 5 hours ago. I never expect it to happened that early and yeah, I got freaked out. Seriously.

If you wonder if I managed to do any handcraft or painting, nope. Not done yet. Not even sewing anything and shamefully not dropping a single kilo yet. I wonder when will I be able to lose the extra weight (people call it ‘love weight’ haha) so that I could wear my favourite jeans back. 😀 I feel bad and guilty that I did not make the time to get things done and strike out a few from my to-do-list for 2010 where I already have new entries for 2011. The list is indeed getting longer, which goes something like this:

10. Handcraft for charity
11. Meditation
12. Read more GOOD books

Aha ~ I am finally back to yoga with enthusiasm. At least I have got one to strike out from the list. Soon a 2 months vegetarian programme will be commencing, most prolly after CNY. And as promise, more sewing to come. Yes, yes I gotta catch the time.

On a difference story, have you tried using enzyme cleaner? Aunty Pat gave me the formula from my visit to Kluang 3 months back. And now my very first batch of homemade enzyme cleaner is ready to use. It might take some time to get it fermented but it works so impressively well. It helps save your hassles of rubbing and scrubbing the stubborn oil and grease off easily.

Try it. It’s MAGIC !! 😀

Oh ~~ My juggling skills have improved !! Hehehe …
