A Day Crafting | Cousin's Handicraft

H

ello readers & salam #hebat!

This actually happened few months ago. I planned to blog about it right after we finished but I seemed to forgot :p This morning I browse through my phone pictures and found the pictures that made me realized. TEEEHEE! So, here's my crafting memories!

I love to participate in contests, giveaways and lucky draws. Fortunately, I was one of the winner of a giveaway and I won a craft starter kit. The starter kit was safely kept in my room when it arrived home because I have no idea how to use them. hehehe. My cousin who loves to make handicrafts came to my home. So that was a GREAT timing!! I asked her to make felt crafts with me using the starter kit I won.

For the very first felt craft, we made a small teddy bear keychain. For visual reference, we used a teddy bear felt keychain I got from Bambam's Story - another giveaway that I won :)

Here's the cute keychain from Bambam's Story :)

We started the crafting process. Yeahhh ~

Here's the starter kit I got from NADICRAFT
Some felt, cotton, buttons, strips, etc.

Firstly, we cut the felt paper according to the lines which assembles 
the 2D shape of a bear's face. 2 pieces - front and behind :D

Next step was to make the nose and mouth. We used buttons for eyes.

cutting more felt papers!

For the first piece, we sewed buttons for eyes and yellow 
felt paper to be more detailed.

We then sewed the two piece of cut(ed) felt paper together at the sides. We left the upper part open. It is a space to put in the cottons. After that, we sewed the whole thing.


Sewed here and there and tadaaaa.. a keychain was made! It looks okay isn't it? ;)

So here's the craft table. HAHAHAHA. Messy to the fullest!

Then, it was craft photo taking session! hehehe.

Happy family. Two craft keychains, name badge and .. angry bird? HAHAHA.

To be honest, I did very less work since I'm seriously not good in doing stuffs like this. I did the photo taking and cutting part only. I thank my cousin for spending the afternoon crafting with me! 

So that you guys know, my cousin is a wheelchair bound. Although she's living a tough life, she's a well-determine woman and does handicraft on most of her time. She's actually selling her handicrafts to those who are interested. Most of her products are made of beads/manik. 

Here are some of her wonderful and unique traditional products :





Very very beautiful. Hangat di pasaran! :)

If anyone is eager to know more about these products (price, characteristics, etc) ... feel free to contact me, Joel Leslie. I'll try my best to help :) 

That's her - first person on the left :)

that's me pushing her during 2010 Christmas Parade! She came along feeling so happy! :D

p/s: I have a great cousin here! Come and show your support towards her! :D

That's it. Thank you!

Lunch @ Shukie Cafe Miri

ello readers & salam #hebat! Ini kali pertama saya nak buat food review. Just to introduce a nice place to dine dan juga nak cuba try test *cuba = test = try?*  keseronokkan buat food review yang selalu dilakukan oleh salah seorang blogger yang saya amat hormati, Bro Eyriqazz. Beliau ini dah banyak kali dah buat food review. Memang terbaik!


Untuk food review yang pertama, saya akan share sikit tentang Shukie Cafe.

Petang tadi, saya dan parents pergi Shukie Cafe untuk menternak lemak kejap sebelum pergi siapkan hal-hal tertentu. Saya first tahu tentang kedai ini daripada kakak saya yang pernah menjadi seorang guru di sebuah sekolah yang berdekatan. Lepas tu, agak selalu la juga pergi makan situ. On the weekends, banyak orang pergi sini to dine. Walaupun banyak meja dan kerusi, sometimes memang tak cukup. Terbuktilah betapa sukanya orang dengan Shukie Cafe!

 
gambar di perkarangan Shukie Cafe. Sangat bersih & elegent. *sumber*

Agak banyak pilihan yang boleh dibuat. Both makanan dan minuman. Nasi lemak, nasi ayam, nasi lalapan, etc. Bunyi biasa-biasa je tapi their food and drinks are different from other shops in terms of quantity and quality.

Nasi Lemak Shukie. My all time fav. Memang pedas dan lazat! Worth the price.

Ini pula favourite parents. Nasi Lalapan. Sambal memang terrific!

Minuman saya pula. Iced Longan. Sangat refreshing!

RM49.80. Rasanya quite berbaloi sebab perut penuh, hati pun gembira ^_^

Overall, kami amat berpuas hati dengan Shukie Cafe. Service yang cepat, pekerja yang ok, kebersihan yang dijaga termasuklah toilet, makanan dan minuman yang sedap dan terbaik! Sekali pergi, confirm nak pergi lagi! As a conclusion, saya rate Shukie Cafe

*cewahh, tempat makan pun ada guna rating ke? :p

Personal judgement ok. Lain orang, lain taste :)


Shukie Cafe2396 Piasau Business Park (Bulatan Park), MiriSarawak 
p/s: Saya akan cuba untuk lebih bergiat dalam membuat food review from now on.

Sekian. Terima kasih!

More BIRTHDAY PRESENTS for me!

Hello readers! Thanks for spending your time here! ^_^

After 5 grueling hours *lying* thinking on what to update, here it is! Yes, an update about more birthday presents for me! Miehehehe. *obviously have no other ideas on what to update* 

I updated about my birthday days ago. To read about it, click hereee

Urmm, actually I should be receiving these presents on Monday but le familia and I went spending the day getting wild like party animals. Hahaha. I is very the kidding about the wild part. We went to town, ermm ermmm shopping? Yes, shopping. 

The grand, beautiful, luxurious, huge, sparkling... POSLAJU van came to my house, but unfortunately no one was at home to respond. Buuhuuu, sooo sad. The POSLAJU man was angry and left a WARNING letter in the mailbox. I was really scared :O *being sarcastic, pls ignore*


Grrr, so frustrated to see the letter. It's not a warning letter actually *hihi* . It's just a letter informing that no one was at home when he came to the house. So sad cos I don't get to know what was sent on that day! Hurmm, because I was sooooo anxious to know what was sent so we planned to go to the POSLAJU office in order to collect them that afternoon. Hahaha. It was already dark, so our plan was cancelled and a new plan was made. We decided to collect them tomorrow! :D

Woke up early the next day. Expecting a normal holiday morning where I switch on the TV, watching random channels and sleep AGAIN. But, daddy decided to clean the fish pond. So, I quickly update my facebook status. As if people would care. MIEHEHEHEHE. 

Wow, some DID gave respond. HAHAHAHA.

Yes, I know I being lame now. But still, I would like to continue :b

After the pond was cleaned and the fishes were swimming happily in the recently-cleaned pond, we went to accomplish what we planned yesterday! Jyeahhh.

Reached the POSLAJU office and hand over the letter to the worker. Then, she came back with something that really, really made me feel happy and excited :3

I calmed myself from being overexcited and took a picture of the present in wrapped mode before I voraciously opened it. hihihi.


Uuuuuuuu, a present from my siblings who are studying in Sabah! Suuuweet! C:

What could it be? 

Jengg jenggg jengggggggg..


a musical card, a keychain and Beats (by Dr.Dre) Solo HD! :D

Homaiii, I was so overwhelmed to receive them! Thank you so much sibs! You made my day!
Thank you for being such awesome siblings! 
I love you til death! :D

That's me and my beloved sibs!♥ 

That's me with my two sibs who gave me those great presents! An old pic this is :)

Yes, I do have siblings who cares about me so much and they continuously guiding me by giving advises. Although we're currently apart from each other since we do have to do what's best for our future, I believe with all my heart, we will forever be loving siblings. God bless each and every one of you abundantly! Love and miss you guys soooo much! See you guys soon! :D
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them ♥  - Desmond Tutu

p/s: Still tired because I spent the day at Sungai Tangit/Ladang 2.. cari kulat. hehehe ^__^

Thank you!

Imaginasiku Luar Biasa.

Oohhhh luar biasaaaaa! Landah senja suriaaaa padamuu lalalala.. siksa membisuuuu!.... okay, berhenti. Mula dah pendarahan drastik di telinga jiran-jiran yang dikasihi. Sebelum saya dilapor kepada polis di atas kesalahan membuli dan membunuh secara comel *eh?* , bagus saya berhenti. Biar Shahir je lagu fofular ini. Tapi esok saya sambung lagi dengan anak anjing yang baru saja menghafal lagu Born This Way.


sampai hati speech bubble tu block mukaku. nanges dalam tempayan.

Hi! Ok, salam sejahtera dan salam hebat saya ucapkan kepada semua pembaca yang berimaginasi hebat persis penulis buku fairytale kanak-kanak dua tahun empat belas bulan. 

Mungkin kebanyakan anda tidak tahu lagi yang saya ni pernah menjadi champion pertandingan imaginasi semasa berada di bangku tadika. Memang kemenangan yang termanis bagi saya walaupun pada masa itu, saya adalah satu-satunya peserta pertandingan itu. Yang lain tak pandai berimaginasi. Pandai bab-bab one, two, teewee je lebih. Oh, betapa hebatnya anak didikan ibu bapa saya.

you just have to believe it. Cos what I just said was serious sheet.

Saya yang berimaginasi hebat telah memenangi pertandingan itu dengan tajuk imaginasi
Semut Merah Besar Gila Beb! 
*topik kanak-kanak yang typical..*

Dengan gaya molek dan comel mengalahkan Mia Sara, saya telah menceritakan mengenai imaginasiku yang luar biasa...

Pada suatu hari, saya terjumpa seekor semut betina berwarna merah berjalan-jalan dengan handbag Louis Vuitton di atas lantai yang baru saja dimop. Saya berasa amat marah dan stress sebab semut siot itu telah dengan kejamnya mengotorkan lantai yang berkilau-kilau seperti berlian 54 karat. 

wajah stressku semasa 6 tahun. Sudah hot bukan? :b

Dengan segala kekretipan di dalam diri saya ini, saya telah memikirkan satu idea yang bernas tentang apa yang patut dilakukan kepada sang semut di atas kejahatannya itu. Jeng jeng jeng, idea pun meletus keluar dari kotak fikiran saya. Saya terus berlari ke bilik tidur untuk mengambil sesuatu. Apakah 'sesuatu' itu? Ianya adalah ...
bedak kesayanganku.

Motif kejam saya adalah menaruk bedak ke sang semut supaya ia menghadapi masalah untuk bernafas serta mengeluarkan batuk berdarah dan seterusnya, mati. Kejamnya diri saya. MUAHAHAHA! Tapi, itulah tindakan yang munasabah. Orang yang bersalah harus dihukum!

Saya terus berlari sepantas kerbau, membawa motif yang kejam. Dengan rakusnya, saya mengejar sang semut yang cuba melarikan diri setelah mengetahui motif saya. Tetapi, MUAHAHA, semut berjaya ditangkap oleh saya. Setelah itu, saya membawa sang semut ke bilik main lalu melekatkannya pada katil bedah Barbie doll. Sang semut membuat wajah comelnya untuk meminta simpati tetapi tetap tidak berkesan dalam meluluhkan hati saya yang sekeras batu. Sebab yang utama adalah kerana muka I jauh lagi comel. 

Sang semut mula nebes, dengupan jantungnya sederas F1. Tanpa membuang masa lagi, saya mula memusingkan kepala bekas bedak untuk membiarkan bedak mengalir keluar daripadanya. *masa tu cikgu tegur cakap mengalir tu salah tapi adaku kesah? miehehe* Lalu, dengan wajah sekejam pembunuh bersiri dalam cerita Teletubbies, saya terus menaruk bedak pada sang semut, sambil mengeluarkan ketawa sinis. 

Sang semut mula batuk dan ... senyap, tertutup matanya........




 TIBA-TIBAAAAAA!!!.. *cikgu melatah*

opsss. kantoi sudahh :3

...Sang semut membuka matanya. Merah semerah-merahnya mata merahnya. Meremang bulu roma melihat sang semut semakin besar dan besar dan besar dan BESARRRR. Mak aih. Nebes diri saya.

 arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!..

Betapa menyesalnya diri saya di atas tindakan kejam yang telah dilakukan. Saya redha, bersedia untuk dimakan oleh sang semut yang gergasi. Sang semut berdegis, mengakibatkan saya kencing dalam seluar *erk?* Saya duduk di atas lantai bilik main, menunggu sang semut untuk memakan saya. Huhuhu. Sedih, kecewa, menyesal, insaf. Sememangnya itu perasaan saya. *cikgu mula mengeluarkan air mata tapi malu-malu. feeling gitu.* 

Tetapi something shook me. I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR MY LIFE! Saya terus berdiri lalu mengeluarkan telefon bimbit yang dibeli di kedai bersebelahan. 

  
comel seperti pemiliknya.

Terus dengan muka penuh semangat, saya dail nombor telefon kak Nisa. Saya percaya itu tindakan yang betul. Kak Nisa boleh tolong kerana Kak Nisa mempunyai kuasa. Kuasa dahsyat iaitu..


Kak Nisa terus terbang ke bilik main tanpa lupa meninggalkan bekalan makanan untuk tapir-tapirnya. - Proooooooooot! ~ melambung ke negara jiran dinding bilik main setelah terkena kentut kak Nisa. Begitu dahsyat. Wow.

Nyaris-nyaris lagi saya ditelan oleh sang semut.

"Tolonggg tolonggg tolonggg oooo!!"  teriak saya dengan rentak lagu Babeh - Jaybi.

Lalu IRON GIRL iaitu Kak Nisa mengeluarkan statementnya. 


"No worries... cos IRON GIRL is here!"

"Ohmyy, IRON GIRL! There you are! Help me! Fast fast!" cakapku dengan lega.
"No, if you don't say 'please'" jawab kak Nisa dengan gedikz.
"WTH?! Okay.. pleaseeee" balasku tanpa keikhlasan.
"Ok. hihihi!!," jawabnya lagi dengan kegedikan melampauz.

PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT" kentut dahsyat dikeluarkan olehnya ke arah muka sang semut. Sang semut menghidunya.. semakin lemah, lalu pengsan. 

Kak Nisa tidak berhenti kentut agar sang semut mati semati-matinya. Setelah penat mengeluarkan kentut, kak Nisa berhenti. Sang semut mati sepenuhnya. Kak Nisa rehat kejap sebab letih dan terus recharge balik kuasa kentutnya.... Setelah itu, dia mengangkat bangkai sang semut dan membawa ke tapak perkuburan yang berdekatan... And everyone lives happily ever after. THE END. 

p/s: wah, hebat bukan? MIEHEHEHEHEHE.

Sekian. Terima kasih!

26th of May - A birthday with unforgettable moments.



Hello readers! 

Yeah you know how time flies. Only yesterday was the time of our lives - Adele
I had one the most precious day in my life yesterday. Undeniably heart-touching, I speechlessly appreciate every second. You don't know how thankful and grateful I am to God. 
Yesterday marked 15 years of me standing and breathing on this earth. I am very grateful for the chance and opportunity for me to continue life - doing what I love, without compromising myself and others. My oh my. Tears streaming down my face, symbolizing the gratefulness for the life I was given. Joel Leslie Anyie is now officially 15, but still childish and crazy as ever. NGEEEEEE 
A day that I shall remember forever. A day that was filled with memories that I terrifically will cherish til death. A day well spent with family and friends. 

Why is 26th of May so memorable? Of course because I can sense the love from my God, family and friends. 

  • Received continuous messages from family and friends early in the morning. Thank you for willing to stay awake until it's early in the morning just to be the first to send me a 'Happy Birthday' message. Oh, you guys woke me up every hour - 1 a.m. .. 2 a.m .. 3 a.m. I turned my phone to silent mode at 4 a.m. HAHAHA. I blame you guys for making me feel so tired. Don't get me wrong ; I seriously do appreciate your effort though. Hahaha. Oh, I received a lot of birthday wishes through Facebook too. Oh I'm so dayum famous. MIEHEHEHE. *saya melawak sebentar. Harap maklum.* Totally not a moment that we will 'enjoy' oftenly. Only during birthdays we will. Setuju or not ah u? *ohmyyyenglishhh*

I appreciate each and every one of the wishes! My deepest thank you I bid to all! 

  • A customized card just for me? Oh wow. I can't believe how caring my blogger friend can be. Thank you so much for the lovely card, Cheek Eyka. I love it so much! Thanks for spending your time to write an entry for me too. It is much much much appreciated! :'))

  • A song dedicated to me? Again, oh wowwwwwww. Thank you Kamil Kahar. I hope we will always be great friends!
