Merlimau, Melaka

I wonder who gave d name merlimau. It's a combination of 2 word i guess..'mer' & 'limau'. Hermmm..probably there's a lot of buah limau around this area long time ago.

Belongs to hj zakaria & hjh rokiah

My mother grew up in this house which for me..built with beautiful architecture. Everywhere i go in malacca..the trademark for most of d houses would be d colourful ceramic stairs..no matter how big or small d house is.

Part of d house dat i alwiz see while i'm taking a shower..

View fr inside d bathroom

Some of d old pictures hanging on d wall..

Atuk..d policeman..

Hehe..in full uniform fr head to toe..

On d right, picture of nenek..on d left, picture of nenek, atuk, pak long & tok su..

One thing in d house dat i'm scared of when i'm a little girl..tadaaa..

Looks like d clock in a haunted house..huhu..

Someone had changed d location of this antique clock..i dunno for what reason. The sound of it dat is creepy..especially when it strikes 12am..ding!! dong!! Imagine if ur alone..scary huh?!

Yellow In Color

Todays wedding at rasa was for d guyz side or bertandang. The bride & groom are Mr F's high school fren. They have been in luv for a long time..since secondary..huhu..dat would be about 8 to 9 yrs. Congratz!!

Mr F, eby, wawa, and me

When i reached home..without any rest..me, mother, ct and mak ngah headed to merlimau..my mother's kg. The reason is to discuss mak noi's wedding. She's d youngest girl in my mother's family & d last to get married..huhu..finally her W day's a reality.

1st Job Interview

My heart beat so hard since yesterday. This is my 1st time being interviewed for a job..i dunno what to expect. A lot of stuff running through my head. Mother helped me a lot..thanx mak!! Jannah also help in calming me down & said dat there's no greater power than Allah s.w.t..so dun get worried so much.

Did research on d internet about this kementerian perdagangan dalam negeri, koperasi dan kepenggunaan or kpdnkk..fuhhh..i'm short of breath. I try to remember as much as i can. The job dat i'm interviewed for is as pegawai tadbir but by kontrak..huhu..wat eva it is i juz hope dat i get it.

Still at home..right before heading to putrajaya..

Mother, dr dot & ct send me to d kementerian..huhu..ramainye. A bit lost in putrajaya but we managed to find d place in time. There's about 20 people wanting for dat job. We've been separated in 2 rooms.

Bilik kuliah 1..on d left..

I was in d 1st room & d 2nd last person to be interviewed..huhu..seeing people coming out of d room makes me more panic. For me it's better to be one of d 1st than one of d last.

The interview went on quite ok. There's 3 interviewer..2 men & a lady. I dun really answer some of d questions properly coz all of them were about my opinion!! I've been memorizing about d kementerian but none of d panel ask me anything about it. I think i'm in d room more or less 30 minutes..huhu..glad it's over.

Juz finished..pheww..what a relief..=)

Sewing Beads

Mr f gave me a 4-meter kain when he returned back all d stuff fr d engagement dat belongs to my mother. The kain which is now a baju kurung, looked empty & plain so i decided to sew beads..huhu..which i'm not gud at. I think d last time i sewed was in secondary during kemahiran hidup.

So u'll only need 3 things.

Beads, thread, & a needle

At 1st it's kinda hard..then as i continue..i think i'm doing ok. I guess practice makes perfect.

Before

After

Juz by doing this one line of beads..it takes me ages!! Its bcoz i have problem with d needle. Only some beads can pas through d bottom of d needle..so i had to slide down one by one. So i had enough & try to find all d needle in d house dat could fit d beads. Yeah!! Glad dat i finally found d perfect one!!

I sew another line of beads so dat it looks nicer. By using d new needle..it takes me less than 3 hours to do 2 lines..compare to 6 hours for only one line!! Save a lot of time..wish i found dat needle earlier.

Here's d outcome..

Since i have extra beads..i sewed them at other places of the kurung.

Harder than d previous work..

Close-up..

Know why i sew d beads myself rather then send it to d tailor. The reason is bcoz it's wasting money. The cheapest i can find is rm40 & dats d simplest design..huhu..with dat much money i can buy another kurung!! People say i'm stingy but to me it's saving..=)

Let see how much i save..
Needle rm0.00
Thread rm0.80
Beads rm3.90 x 2
Total rm8.60
DIY save me rm31.40..huhu..dats more then half!! Yezzzaaaa...

Add Another 5

As i'm about to send my convo kebaya to d tailor..i heard noises dat sounds like kittens..coming fr a bus stop. I found out there's 5 of them without their mother. Owh..poor thing. So i decided to bring them back home.

Hungry kittens in a bucket..

Ala ciannye..some1 dats not responsible must have left them there. How could he/she do dat?? Some people can be so selfish & don't think of d circumstances dat could happen to d kittens.

Lucky snowy is still milking her 3 kittens. At 1st i kinda worried dat she won't care or maybe hurt d 5 newcomers but i'm glad everything's alright.

Thanx snowy for adopting them.

Pity her..need to feed 3+5=8 kittens but juz now 1 of her kids died. So now she's left with 7 to handle..dats still a lot. Even cats can accept outsiders as their own without discrimination whether black or white. Why humans can't??

Talking about black or white..reminds me of michael jackson. I think i met him b4 during secondary. At dat time he was at one of d shopping mall with a few bodyguards. Can't remember which shopping mall..i think it's OU. I can only see his eyes coz he's wearing a mask. He walk fr d entry & went out d other end. I still remember my brother said dat juz by walking through d shopping mall..he get rm1 million!! Easy money huh?!
