Langkawi day 3

On the third day, we went for a cable car ride at Machincang Mountain. Gunung Machincang ni pun dikatakan oleh geologis telah wujud sejak zaman precambrian lagik. And of course, dia adalah batu kapur juga. So the shape and kesan luluhawanya begitu ketara sekali. Very beautiful. SubhanalLah. Foto disebelah diambildalam keadaan segip. kekekekekekekeek rasa macam termasuk abis semua yg terbonjol.... wakakaka Orang cakap , orang yang gayat ni tak cukup tidur. Ntah ... tapi yang pasti memang jantung terasa seakan mengecut.See that we are approaching the top of the mountain? We were inthe same capsule with an Switzerland couple. They were so cool. Atau pretend to be cool tatau la pulak ... kekekeke And a closer look to the top.

There is another stop at the peak but for some reason, we didn't go up there. I wish I were. Amir too but we just didn't go.

Langkawi Day 2

On day 2, we went for Island Hopping. We went to three beautiful islands. Langkawi has hundreds of small islands. These are the most popular. The first one is Pulau Dayang Bunting (The Island of the Pregnant maiden) which the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden is located. The lake is said to have healing power to the barren lady. Uh, well, I don't know... they say... so ask "them"

See the shape? It's looks like a pregnant lady lying on her back. Most of the islands here are intrusive of precambrian limestone or something (hey! how do they describe it?) In layman's word, they are of limestone (marble) and they are very very very old. Thet is why they made to various shapes. next, we went for eagle watching at Pulau Singa Besar (The Big Lion island)

Well, the camera is not the latest in market one .. but still can see... okay lor. :D

Lastly we moved to Pulau Beras Basah (the Island of Wet Rice - betuika?)

The picture was quite hard to capture bacause it was not suitable for children's view. keh keh keh so... this is the best we can shoot. But the island is beautiful. With white soft sandy beach, blue crystal clear water... Owh! heaven!

Langkawi

17th February to 20th February 2008... Finally I step on the cursed island of Langkawi. I was called to witness the beautiful precambrian formation of intrusive rock of her. Not being a geologist so I think this link gives quite a helpful view on the formation history.

This is Pulau Langkawi :

On the arrival, whilst waiting for the hotel room ready for check in, we went to The Underwater World located on the way to our hotel.

I think the place is a bit run down since the fish got poisoned by some problematic people. So during aour visit, there was no sharks (was they there before?) or any dolphines (ya.. I know.. zoo negara got them.. but come on ... it's underwater WORLD!). So the kids enjoyed it even they quite frustrated that the place not to their (and mine) expectation. But well, kids... the ir imagination was beyond our thinking . Huhu

My First Treasure

As said, I joined the biscornu exchange at EMS . So today, after a stressed day at the office, I found in my mailbox a small box from the US!. Came with it is a lovely butterfly card and ... A tape measure biscornu! I really love it. I believe Joan (my partner) had put a lot of effort to beautifully finished it. She even sew some beads on it and it is so gorgeous! Again, I loooooooooooooove it! So happy to have it and feeling so lucky to have her as my partner for the work is so beautiful!
The other side of it. To keep with the blue theme, she used needle neccities variegated thread of white, blue. purple, dark blue beads and shiny beads with hues of blue. It is all mine. Thank you Joan!

The Borgia Bride

Finished this book just now. I have no idea that I was reading a true historic base fiction. Haha what an ignorance. Anyhow, I like the book.

The story is about Sancha de Aragon, princess of Naples and illegitimate daughter to the coldhearted duke of Calabria (briefly king of Naples), is used to establish ties to the feared and influential House of Borgia when her father betroths her to the younger scion, Jofre. The marriage brought her (after some events) to Rome where she lives with the Borgias. She soon learned who the Borgias are and at first she herself had fallen to her brother in law, Cesare Borgia. cesare Borgia is known in history as a murderer and adventurer. She also then befriend with Lucrezia (Cesare' sister who after that married with Sancha' brother, Alfonso) and learnt one of the Borgia's secret - canterella; a deadly poison.

A book about incest, corruption, power hunger, treachery, revenge, love, loyalty; all blend in one.

I love the book even though at some early pages I started a bit slow for I have to recall the years (took place around 1400 - 1500) and the family tree of the Aragon and the Borgia; who is who and so forth.

Diamonds are women's best friend

Eceh... tajuk ... Tapi gitu la kan ... Actually this baju quite lama la jugak adanya ... Dah pakai a few times pun .. and the berlian pun dah beli lama dah ... Only today dapat semangat untuk menjahitnya ... hehe maka terjahitlah berlian-berlian tersebut di hujung lengan bajuku... Tu dia... mengerlip ... kekekekekkke

Valentino by Clare Sullivan

This is Valentino. I had him tested for a lovely lady named Clare. I knew her in Crochetville . See.... tengah panjat pokok kemboja cina gitu ... heheEceh .. main hide and seek di dalam semak morning hibiscus pulak ... Seakan mencari sesuatu gitu ... hehe

Clare made him with a beanie like of hat ... nice one but i think since my Valentino lives in warm Malaysia, where the sun is always shine, I made him a cap like hat so he had some shade. :D

Isn't he handsome? I really enjoyed myself making him. I am hooked! haha

Today's Special

Sambal Udang

Udang sayur (hat kecik kecik) telah dipilih untuk menjadi main dish hari ini. Eceh ... Actualy menu ari ni seperti dalam perancangan adalah : Masak Lemak Putih Pegaga dengan Keledek, Ikan Goreng dan Sambal Belacan tapi tiba di Pasar Segar kegemaran itu, tak ada la pulak pegaga ... Memang situ payah sikit kalau nak cari bende2 tradisional Malaysia. maklumlah, Banyak foreigner kat area situ, So kalau nak memasak lauk pauk dari Kepulauan Indonesia ... bahannya Insha Allah, senang diperolehi di situ ... hehe

Pucuk Ubi Masak Lemak Tempoyak

Sepatutnya kalau nak masak gini kene macam-macam pucuk kan tapi yang ada cuma pucuk ubi aje kat situ dan pucuk paku so I decided to use only pucuk ubi. The tempoyak buat sendiri tauw ... Durian dari keliling umah Kema. Smells good. Adeeba cakap bau macam sedap. Hehe

Ikan Selar Goreng

Untuk tidak lari dari perancangan asal, Ikan Selar digoreng bersama kunyit dan garam. Eceh...
Ala-ala kampung gitu. Hehe

Off to Venezuela

Taraaaaa..... Inilah dia hasilnya setelah beberapa lama menyiapkannya (maklumla... masa yang dicuri curi dari sana sini...). This biscornu adalah untuk exchange di forum EMS. International gitu... So excited sebab this is the second time buat biscornu and the very first time masuk exchange .. n the partner dari Venezuela gitu ... So off to Venezuela bersama beberapa barangan lain dia akan pergi ... eceh. I hope she will like it and my biscornu will find a new welcoming home.

Ini muka sebelah dia ... Kenapa dia warna biru? Ia berwarne biru kerana temanya adalah biru. Ia disiapkan dengan komen komen dan nasihat dari adik manis Mus. Tenkiu ar Mus ... kekekeke How? Ok ka ni? Ok la kot for a beginner like me... Hope more to come and I really enjoy making it. (abis la lepas ni bersepah2 benda alah ni kat rumah sebab dah collect pattern dia banyak-banyak). hehe
