Vintage sewing machine

I search, buy and buy and keep buying everyday...and recently I'm the happy owner of this vintage sewing machine.ha..haa...happy! I am a sucker for vintage items...I've been looking for one years ago and finally found one...

The not-so-fun part is, this machine is not complete yet, the seller took away the bobbin which supposed to be there when I examined it before purchase. and it left me blank where to get the bobbin and its case for this vintage. I've asked my people to get them for me and hopefully I don't have to wait too long to get those bobbins and cases, and get my sewing kaki to sew together...

There will be more sewing projects coming up next...

Personal grooming

Recently, my friend and I went for a personal grooming workshop. She needed it more than I do because the way she dress really can go for pasar do marketing only and not to mention she is also the wife of a manufacturing boss. When I told her to improve on the way she carry herself, it doesn't has any impact on her. That's why I accompanied her to make the change.
I feel that every girl in college should have go through this kind of make up and grooming course before they come out to work. With good looking and proper attire, we will gain more confident and give better impression to others like able to impress potential business client, securing a dream job, and bla...bla...bla....
showing you the beautiful girl who is our coach... Evelyn


I bought some skincare products, our weather here needed this most - sunblock lotion. I won one as the lucky winner along with other products :D

Soothing drink

Rain started to fall after a long dry spell. The atmosphere is cooling down and the same goes to the mood. Occasionally, brought kids for a dip in the pool.


the penguin float suits the younger one most...


My right eye was very irritating for the past two weeks. It had frequent itchiness which comes from behind the eyeball and experienced some swollen eye. I have a pair of troublesome eyes and they are irritable, uncomfortable from time to time. Really don't know what went wrong. I can only apply a warm towel onto it to soothe it besides taking some chinese medication for lungs heatiness. The lime essence tea definitely helps to get rid of body heat.

Learn more; not just study

With recent released of our SPM results, my brother scored 9As out of 10 subjects with 7A+. Well, it does make everyone of us proud of his academic achievement. My words for him is further the study and go as far as he can go. Most importantly is choose the path that he has interest in.

Having said that, I think he will study for 2 more years in lower and upper six form before going for university. In my time, people asked me to study more in the hope to secure a 'better job' after completed the study. Abuthen... my words for the SPM school leavers are - "learn more for your ownselves betterment". Don't just study from books, learn from all your environment (society) and equip yourself in terms of skills (your capability) and those 'softskills'. We need to have both to survive in this competitive world. Cheers!
