If you have a high ceiling and would like to add a little live into your boring walls, you may try adding a few pendant lights. If you are creative enough, it will not only be part of your furniture, it will also give an artist touch to your walls.

When you have pendant lights dangling and looking a bit tad of fragile, do not ruin the effect by putting any type of light bulbs. A few low voltage light bulbs will complement the warm and cozy feeling that is brought out by the pendant lights. Before you know it, you’d have the same cozy ambiance from your favourite coffee house.

However I’d rather stick to my Caramel Macchiato from Starbuck.. Oohh… Drools…

It’s nearing the end of Ramadan. Alhamdullilah this year my fasting was very easy and not once had I bowed down to the sweltering heat. This year Eid Mubarak celebration will be done very minimally.

I have decided not to get any new Baju Kurung for myself since the previous ones I had from all the previous years still hung in their very good condition in my closet. Even my festive cookies is brought to a minimal. I’m not making any Pineapple Tarts but instead made only 2 different types of festive cookies for this year. The rest of the festive food is being filled by Rempeyek and Keropok, cheaper and more convenient.

However since my shoes are very worn off, I did get a new pair of sandals. Instead of getting my norm Crocodile shoes, I settled for something much cheaper and simple. It only cost Rm25 per pair. Initially I had wanted to get a pair of comfort shoes, as my preferences, but after a stern glare from mommy dearest, I had to steer off from the Comfort Shoes Isle and browse to the Elegant Isle.

I don’t see anything wrong with buying comfort shoes since I will be walking most of the time instead of being driven around. My feet is as important as my brain. It needs alot of attention, good attention.

The Food Bazaar Ramadan in Perling is a small size compared to the previous years. All of the food sold is almost the same and not once have I bought anything from there except for the other day when I was craving badly for Air Kathira.

I also have not yet visited Plaza Angsana. From my previous years in visiting them, there are nothing cheap there and the traffic jam is horrendous unless you rode a bike.

Anyway need to rest now. Will update later.

Being a woman, I love shiny things that glitters prettily especially at night. I have a huge fascination for stars and moon and could spend hours on my front lawn, lying on my back and watching the stars winking down at me. It calmed me down and yet sends a dose of refreshing adrenaline that makes me giggle and laugh while I stargaze.

Ramadan is slowly coming to an end. While everyone is rushing to prepare the end of Ramadan, I am still deciding what to buy for my Baju Raya. Perhaps this year I would just forgo the tradition of buying new clothes and just wear the old ones which are still in perfect condition.

Anyway I was observing the price of Spot Gold and decided to check up on this blinking ad that was on the sidebar. The site I went to have brilliant sparkling diamond engagement rings and much more sparkling gems. My eyes went blink blink when I looked at their clarity and different cuts they had on display.

Ooh… they even have those custom made designed rings. Wow..  To be able to have your own custom made ring on your finger… Wow..

I was supposed to be having a refreshing jog early in the morning. The weather was fantastic, cold and windy. Too bad it was so windy that it brought in the drizzle which eventually brought in the rain. So the objective of going for a good jog went literally down the rain.

These past few days I was so busy working that I could not even have a small time to myself to blog. My life revolved around the computer, my work and my bed. BORING!!

I wanted to get a new pair of running shorts or perhaps bermudas for myself. None of those on display looked to my taste. But it was a total opposite for men’s running shorts. They have such nice designs that I had to glue my hands to my side from grabbing them and putting them into my shopping basket.

Anyway Ramadan is here once again. Things to plan, money to save and cookies to design… It’s so much of a hassle…

To my cute lovable parents who magnificently and patiently raise up 5 almost angelic kids, Happy Anniversary! Pleasant wishes to both of you.

My poor tired eyes… I’ve been watching NCIS Season 7 for the past few days nonstop. I’ve also been called Abby Scutio by my elder brother due to my weirdness apart from other things. I’ve also fallen in love with the story so much that when I watched NCIS Los Angelas, I totally hated it.

Don’t get me wrong, the story line was great but I’ve grown so used to the subtle yet sharp sarcastic innuendos from NSIC original that to not feel it in LA version left me bereft. I missed the real close bond of Abby, Dinozzo, David and Macgee and their cute childishness and to not see it in LA version is such a disappointing event to me.

Well, I’m at fault since I was expecting the LA version to be almost like the original. But I was very excited when Abby appeared in one of their episodes and was abducted by the Phantom Killer. To the forensic genius unleashing her claw at the dumb and oblivious Phantom Legend Killer was very good.

I didn’t expect Abby, the darling of NCIS, to have that much gutsy. However it was very endearing to see her reverting back to her cute childlike attitude once she was saved and brought back to the LA office safe and sound. I was crossing my fingers to have Gibbs or Mac Gee popping up in that episode to save Abby, knowing how protective they are to their members.

But as I’ve said, it was very endearing to see Abby rushing to the LA COM Room and immediately chattered her way, trying to convince Gibbs and everyone else over at headquarters she’s safe.

Oh well, I can’t have everything in my taste now can I…

Why do some men take in testosterone booster? That was the question that rang through my mind for a few days ever since I heard my friend was taking them. From what I understand, testosterone are male sex hormones that bulk up body tissues and encourage the retention of protein by the body another words, body builder – literally.

I don’t understand why some men would want to buff themselves up and pump the muscles over the press. Not everyone can achieve a body like Rambo. While some did manage to turn into Rambo models, some unfortunately turns out into becoming a ninja turtle. Big body, small head and legs.

I’d really prefer men who are just well toned in their own natural physique. At least I do not need to worry over a 100kg+ of muscles crushing me should he faint.

Anyway I can’t wait for the Last Airbender movie to come out. I want to see my dad’s favourite cartoon popped up to life. Yes, he loves the cartoon and would go all lengths to watch everyone one of the repeats of the show.

It’s cold, it’s wet and it’s windy. That is the normal rainy weather in Johor Bahru. I got caught in the heavy rain once again this morning and it left me cold and shivering to the core. Even my hot mugs of milo  made by my younger sister doesn’t help to chase the chills away.

However the weather is perfect for a sleep in, which I unfortunately cannot. I got a feeling that it will be rainy the whole day.

Currently I’m trying to find new ideas on how to treat acne using natural remedies. I’m not sure if natural remedies will work but since I am quite free, I will do some light research on that.

I’ve heard of acne creams, wash and lotions but never pills. I was quite shock to hear that such things exist, so as they say, curiosity kills lures the cats. After Googling it up, I did find out that there are such acne treatments.

It states here that the pills act as both a detox agent and cures acne at the same time. So basically its a combo pill. And they even have a nutrition list for those who are crazy about what they take into their body.

It looked perfectly ok to me but I wonder why they’d put in marshmallow in? To add the creamy flavour to the taste?Hmm..

Years ago, Singapore boasted one of the countries that seldom and almost zero accounts of flooding. Meticulous studies and research to prevent flooding was made and it worked nicely for decades. Singapore was almost flood free. Almost as certain parts of Singapore still faces slight flooding.

Boon Lay Way, where the old Boon Lay Secondary School used to be, always faced the problem of flooding at the side gate. It was a major to trudge through the ankle deep water just to get out from the gate and to the bus stop. It was even terrible when you have school the next day and the only pair of shoes  you have were those wet ones you wore in the flood.

However I didn’t expect an important place like Orchard Road to be facing a terrible flash flood. So who should we put the blame of the recent flash floods? Will it be the unpredictable weather or the construction works on the Marina Barrage that affected the main water flow of the main river in Singapore or the ever on going land reclamation project at every known Singapore owned islands?

In my opinion, it would be all of them. I wonder if the geologist in Singapore has done any studies of the movement of the earth. Constant digging through the earth for tunnels and other purposes, land reclamation and the lacking of widening of the main water flow such as the rivers and canals  may perhaps be the factor of the flash floods in Singapore.

But is Singapore sinking? I am not sure about that. Unless there is a major earthquake (touch wood!) it may perhaps move Singapore like what it did to some countries after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

Coral reefs were destroyed, some land were pushed upwards from the sea while some land sank. I can’t really remembered what was the title of the documentary but I clearly remembered how much land the quake had pushed out from the sea.
