The Colour of the Year.. - decided by the colour expert, Pantone

Since I have just talked about the colour for 2012, lets go back to the previous years and see what were the colours for 2006 until 2011.. perhaps we can use this as guidance and avoid all these outdated colours.. at least someone fashionable won't say this to you "urghh.. that colour is so 2006" hahaha...

The Colour of 2011

The Colour of 2010

The Colour of 2009

The Colour of 2008

The Colour for 2012

Every year mesti ada theme colour set by a group of mat saleh in US.. this year diorang set kan tema kaler untuk 2012 is TANGERINE TANGO!
Nak tau camne rupa tangerine tango? haaa.. tengok contoh2 kat bawah.. leh la nak buat tema baju Raya tahun 2012 kan? ahaks!

Alcove

Apa itu alcove? Dalam hiasan dalaman, alcove ialah ruang antara 2 dinding yang biasanya lebih ke dalam dari 2 dinding tu. Biasanya kita tak ada idea bila mcm mana nak hias rumah bila dinding ada ruang, betul tak? Ianya bukan sesuatu yang tak elok atau sesuatu yang mencacatkan rumah kita tapi sebaliknya kita boleh jadikannya satu ruang yang banyak kegunaan. Majoriti pemilik rumah akan jadikan alcove sebagai rak buku, display shelf atau pun ruang untuk meja study dan macam2 lagi.. termasuklah sebagai pantry di dapur..

So, now, check balik rumah anda, ada alcove tak? kalau ada, boleh try idea idea ni..

Tips untuk Jimat

Kalau ada viewers yang nak berjimat barang2 rumah, bolehla follow my tips. Bila kita beli cecair pencuci, tak kiralah pencuci pinggan ke, pencuci botol baby ke, shower cream or shower gel ke.. kalau nak jimat, letak separuh kandungan pencuci tu dalam botol lain (jangan buang botol2 lama, maybe ada gunanya), lepas tu tambah air sekadar penuh botol dan goncang kuat2..

Saya sedar yang pencuci2 cecair kebanyakkan nya sangat pekat, jadi kalau letak air separuh botol pun, dia tak jejaskan prestasi pencuci tu, cubalah tips ni, mungkin sabun yang kita biasa habiskan dlm sebulan, boleh guna sampai sebulan setengah? or.. 2 bulan? tak payah asyik nak beli jer...

Ok tak? kalau yang dah discover tips ni sebelum ni, teruskan..

Personal Story

Hari ni aku nak terkeluar dari topik kejap. I had big fight with my husband but it ended before the day ends.. I'm sure ramai couple yang pernah bergaduh especially husband and wife tapi aku tak sure if some wives are like me..

Have to admit that I'm not really a good wife. Aku belajar agama, aku tau hukum isteri yang buat suami marah, tak dengar kata suami and etc.. but sometimes panas baran aku teruk sangat and how i disrespect my husband sampai at one point aku buat dekk je bila my husband duk marah2 aku..

Is it because my ego is too high? is it because i think i'm so high above my husband just because i'm the boss at the office.. yeah i know people said husband is always the boss at home no matter what.. or

Is it because i was so used to be on my own, too independent, feel too strong because before i met my husband i was an independent woman? (like Destiny's Child song hehe)

Maybe.. but then again, i should think about dosa and that syurga itu di telapak kaki suami dan redha Allah ada pada suami.. semoga aku boleh berubah and tak lagi jadi isteri yang melampau lampau egonya..

Jalan-jalan Tengok Rumah - Single Storey Semi D in Semenyih

Aku memang suka jalan2 tengok rumah sejak azali lagi, tapi my hubby was not like that and he always gave me one weird look if I told him I want to check out newly built houses during weekend joyrides.. Paling teruk is when I was carrying my first baby back in 2006, macam dah jadi satu benda yang aku ngidam! yes.. i know mmg pelikss.. aku ngidam nak jln2 tgk rumah org.. especially kawasan rumah baru2..

Yang paling best, now my hubby pun dah start suka giler jln2 tgk rumah since we just bought a new semi detached in Kajang Selatan.. FINALLY!! both me and hubby are sharing the same interest!

Somewhere in end of April, we went to Semenyih and we saw single storey semi Ds that were just launched. The layout of the house is not that bad.. its quite spacious for a single storey and the yard is quite big too especially for corner lot. Intermediate lot is also nice and I would say the yard is ok, not so big and not so small..

Check out the photos (i quietly snapped.. shhh...) and you decide for yourselves.. enjoy!

The 3 photos above were taken from the 2nd show house, without furniture whilst below are the photos taken from the main showhouse.. (sorry for the quality of the photos.. i used my iPod! gara2 takut org marah hehe)

(love the shoe prints of the above roman blind.. so cute!)

KES SIMBAH ASID

everyone is talking about kes simbah asid yang dah cecah sampai 23 org mangsa.. ya Allah mmg sangat2 gile la org tu.. macam takde keje lain je.. pagi, petang, malam sure ada yg kena.. are they been paid to do that? org jenis apa yg takde life mcm tu? kerje nya hanya simbah asid kat mana2 org yg dia nak.. kita yg normal ni sibuk pegi kerja la, balik kerja la.. hantar anak sekolah la.. pegi shopping la.. kalau kejenya duk buat camni, mmg tak normal lansung and then, apa yg diorang dapat??? tersangat sewel..

oh btw, kalau org sewel tu baca blog aku ni (tak hingin pun org jahat baca blog aku), haa.. apa kata korang simbah muka korang sendiri dgn asid biar nampak lain sikit. tak dapatla polis tangkap ko kan? yerla.. muka suspek dah kuar TV dah sekarang..

Celebriti Tanpa Make-up

Terjumpa satu website about Hollywood celebrities without their make-up. Actually muka diorang ni biasa2 jer.. macam muka org ramai.. yang jadi cun nya sebab tempek make up la kan..
so, moral of the story, kita semua pun leh jadi cun melecun kalau make up artist tolong touch up kita kekekeh..

Holiday at Palace of the Golden Horse

2 hari lepas kitaorg stayed in Minister Suite kat Palace of the Golden Horse.. actually dekat giler dgn rumah.. saje je nak rehat2 tapi tak nak gi jauh2 sangat takut penat, letih bagai.. dahlah bawak 2 budak2.. mmg susah sikit nak uruskan diorg nih..

Enjoy the pics of the room below.. interior dia style lama sikit.. not really my taste.. aku cuma jatuh cinta dengan arm chair kat 2nd living room tu.. huhuhu.. akan usaha cari kat kedai untuk rumah baru nanti yezzaaa..

** checkout the arm chair yang aku suka kat atas ni.. duduk atas kerusi tu mmg best

Jalan-jalan Tengok Rumah - Bayan Villa

We did an impromptu visit to Bayan Villa, Bukit Ikhlas showhouse today. Just nak tengok2 how does it look like since we knew about this housing project, 3 years ago. The entrance is a bit disappointing coz its too far from the main road. But the layout of the building is nice. I said the building only coz I don't really like the narrow road and the parking spaces. Macam tin sardin je or at my office, its called 'buddy parking' as the cars will block each other and I don't know, maybe you need to pre-warn your neighbour or need to make pre-arrangement or what for the parking.

However.. I do like the design of the showhouse for Duplex and 3+1 Condo.. very nice.. salute to the Interior Designer for the marvellous design.. i really2 like it. Maybe I'm not gonna buy the house coz its a bit way over my budget but, at least we can 'copy' the ideas..

So far dah banyak show house yang kitaorg survey, I would say this is the best design so far.. susahla kan nak cakap sebab takde gambar and takleh ambik gambar. Just read my description je la and I will try find some examples from pakcik Google kalau2 ada yg sama.

Yang kat atas ni, floor plan untuk Duplex, quite similar to a double-storey terrace house, ruang bawah kecik sikit tapi atas agak luas. Aku suka layout dia coz kedudukan bilik, ruang2, bathroom tak macam biasa (selalu rumah teres straight je..), yang ni ada hallway from one room to the other.

Bahagian courtyard tu ngadap garden and a very nice long fish pond (gambar 2).. memang nampak very soothing and relax..

Kat bahagian master bedroom of the showhouse, diorang knocked down the wall in between the study area dan buatkan bilik tu nampak besar gile. Diorang just letak divider kayu to separate the bed and study area.. mmg cantik.

Paling menariknya.. diorang guna banyak elemen kaca to bring lights into the house. Even the wall+wardrobe kat bilik air master bedroom is made of transparent glass.. memang cun! like it so much.

Another thing yang aku suka about the design (this one for '3+1 Bedroom' punya unit) is the small pantry yang diorang bina kat bahagian alcove dapur tu.. very nice! ( i wish i had the photo of the pantry!)

Sangat2 happy balik dari Bayan Villa coz I have tonnes of ideas for my new home now.. hehehe

Tips untuk wallpaper

I'm sure ramai kaum wanita suka wallpaper and nak letak wallpaper kat dinding2 rumah kan? Selalunya kita boleh nampak 'keserabutan' rumah kalau letak wallpaper yang terlalu banyak corak and covered the whole house pulak tu. Salah tu.. Wallpaper patutnya tak payah cover sampai satu rumah, cukup untuk feature wall and sebahagian dinding sahaja.

Make sure corak wallpaper tak terlalu sarat dan coraknya mestilah sesuai dengan theme rumah.. kalau rumah style modern kontemporari, janganlah pulak letak wallpaper untuk English country style..

One more thing is, untuk rumah English style pun, janganlah sampai corak bunga penuh satu rumah. Just letak wallpaper kat satu bahagian dinding dengan corak bunga kecil2 ataupun yang tak terlalu banyak warna..

Boleh tengok contoh2 kat bawah untuk dapatkan idea.. kredit gambar untuk Ideal Home

Before that, just nak tunjuk corak wallpaper Laura Ashley yang baru ku beli sebab its on sale kat Isetan KLCC.. just RM60 per roll, harga asal RM99.. agak poyo la kan sebab rumah baru hanya akan siap end of next year!

Ok, enjoy these photos taken from Ideal Home magazine (my favourite magazine)

Camne nak combine 2 blogs jadi satu?

Semalam aku cari tips nak combine blogs into one blog without creating new entries and change the dates... its a very very useful tips coz aku try sekali je terus jadik! yeehaa..

Follow this link or baca je extract kat bawah:




Follow these steps to copy all posts from one blog to another:

1 Log in to Blogger.

2 Go to the Settings / Basics tab.

3 Click on Export Blog.




3 Your computer will download a file. For Windows users, it will probably be put in the My Documents / Downloads file. Or system may use another place, or may ask you where to put it. Whatever happens, you will need to know where this file is saved to.

4 Open the blog that you want to move the posts to
(You may need to log out and in again, or perhaps just switch to different browser or tab)

5 Delete (using Posting / Edit Posts) any Posts that are already in the destination blow Posts but which you don't want in the refreshed blog.

6 Go to Settings / Basics again. This time, click Import Blog. When the box opens, choose the exported file that you made in step 2/3, and enter the security-text.




7 Choose whether or not to automatically publish all imported posts. Only tick the box if you DO want the posts automatically imported. If you dont tick it, the posts will be loaded, but be Draft, so won't be visible by readers until you publish them.

8 Click Import Blog.

9 Check that the import worked successfully, by looking at the blog, and also at the list of posts under Edit Posts: are the right number of posts there, do they have the right labels etc.
Note: if you accidentally try to import posts into the same blog that you exported them from, Blogger will not import any posts, and give you an error message. If you do want to do this (eg to create a duplicate set of posts), then do the export, change some small detail of the original posts title or date/time, and then do the import.
