MT Expo in Kuala Lumpur

MT Ex is finally coming to Kuala Lumpur !

I'm long for the Colorful masking tape "mt" comes to Malaysia. 

The event will be here from Jul 27 to Aug 7, 2016, at Pavilion Mall, KL.

MT (Masking Tape) / Washi tape with its unique colors and patterns, distinctive texture, exceptional characteristic, and simplicity of use, it has become extremely popular in Japan and around the world. 

  

Pleasure moments in front of those amazing tapes. 

 

Limited Edition Atari Tapes (not-for-sale)

The fun part in the MT Ex ~ to draw a lucky capsule from this gachapon (dispensed capsule toys). 

I could consider myself very lucky, I got the capsule with a message "You Won !" 
I redeemed my favorite choice of masking tape ~ bow-tie.

Stay, Eat, Play and Love in Malacca

In conjunction to the school holiday, DH brought us to Malacca (Melaka) for celebration and the holiday that I longed for. 

STAY  

As usual, we booked the cozy boutique hotel ~ Courtyard @ Heeren. But due to the school holiday and also weekend, the hotel room was fully booked. 

Thus, for our second day stay, we went for Ohana House, another authentic house.  

EAT

Other than the famous chicken rice ball and nyonya food for lunch, we visited a quint cafe called 'The Baboon House', they served good burger. And what impressed me was the tranquil interior, painting , repurposed art deco and eco-designed furniture.  

(we are not allowed to take photo inside the premises)

But it's really worth to pay a visit, not only for the good food but also for the effort that the owner has put in to make his home more lively.

Hmmm...another one place that we love to hang out for coffee....a tranquil cafe house called Calanthe Art Cafe, they serving specialty coffee drink from 13 states of the Malaysia... each one carry different aroma.

Other than good drink and food offered, I guarantee that your eye will be rolling around to wander the little trinkets around the cafe house. 

PLAY & LOVE

A Flea market store located nearby to 1825 Gallery Hotel, right after the prime area near Melaka River where people take the evening river cruise. 

(A new place that we discovered in our recent trip to Malacca.)

*******************************************************************************************

There is another one spot ~ Must Go on Sunday ~ A sunday morning flea market in the Jalan Lekir, street where the Geographic Cafe house is located. 

We are able to dig some old stuff like old disc, books, coins /paper notes etc.

(Makes Me Happy) Pick your healing plant

We found this interesting game in local organic store, JustLife. The game is a mini-game of tarot card, we have been asked by the assistant to closed our eye and calm our mind, deeply take some breathe and open our eye, select one of the card.   

 

The detailed interpretation is kept in this drawer.

May : Unleash Your Creativity

MAY is the month to unleash your potential and creativity. I took a photo of the blank Mandala page in my Passion Journal. I used milky gel pen (or called as cream color pen or pastel color pen) and my all time favorite uni-ball Signo gel ink roller pen for the doodling. 

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.  --  Francis of Assisi

Hope all of you will like it.
Thank you.

(Makes Me Happy) Turquoise Stone

Turquoise color is my favorite color. DH bought me the Firoza Stone accessories from Pakistan. 

According to some surce from internet, the turquoise stone when worn in the form of a necklace, it guards the entire neck related problem and the emotional healing energy of turquoise checks the overall mood of the wearer and balances it. 

Another souvenir from Pakistan, Onyx Marble. 

(MakesMeHappy) No matter how our lives are

A pleasant garden view from a neighborhood area I stay.

How am I missed this little corner of mine ~ Mescrap studio for a long time, eigg... 2-3 weeks. For the passed few weeks, I have been dived in all the planning and budgeting works for the corporate world. At least the storm and rain had been passed for now. Before the next dive in , I recheck again my fuel level (have enough art and craft-ing time), realign purpose and objective (for financial freedom) and adjust my happiness level (work-life balance). 

Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.

Follow Your Bliss

 Hello my lovely people, hope you all are well there. I made a small book holder for the palm-sized mini journal book. 

I'm doing good in this month. Doing something that is new to me. New Venture : I'm helping friend of mine to do the translation (from English --> Chinese) for the movie script. Hope to have more coming ... 

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.

(MakesMeHappy) with just a piece of cake

Nearly mid-April already, everything seems to be on an accelerated pace these days!

I have sweet-tooth, craving for piece of cake.

Until, just found out a newly store in Isetan KLCC, Malaysia, a Japanese Pastry Shop Chateraise - Patisserie, long queue and crowded with ladies. Oish, I grab a piece of Legendary Fresh Cream Cake (RM 14.80) to pamper myself.  

Of course, it taste good and tempting. 

Love the white fresh cream and also the imported strawberries. 

there are more choices

There is nothing you can't have. 

There is nothing you can't do. 

There is nothing you can't be.
