So far this is the biggest challange when I'm doing my gardening: to compete with my daughter. Erghhh!!!

I'd decided to start my vertical garden project before we leave for our upcoming weekend gateaway and Aliyah didn't give up the chance to lend a hand..

...and that were her aunt's shoes she's wearing.. GREAT!

Thanks Aliyah for your help!

My first lettuce sprout

noreply@blogger.com (Samcun) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:13:00 +0000

This is the first of many more to come, I was eagerly waiting and had to smile when I saw the sprout of my 'first ever self-grown vegetable at home' this morning. I sowed it on 19th, it took three days to spread the wings! I'm so excited!

Below is my favroutie hydrangea plant but was almost about to die after we left for hometown for a couple of days. I quickly cut the dead leaves and flowers off, and now they start to sprout again :)

New Resolution for 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Samcun) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 20:52:00 +0000

.. apart from trying to be a better human being... my new resolution for 2011 are..

1. Play badminton at least once a week

2. Gardening! <-- this is so new to me and I'm super excited. As the begining, the pictures show some of the indoor plants that I already have in the house. Yesterday, my driver (aka my sister) drove me to Sunway Pyramid and we visited a very cute store (suggested by a blogger in her blog that I bumped into the other day but couldn't recall) called Daiso who sell lots of kawai gardening stuffs for only RM5 each (all items in the store priced RM5).. I managed to grab a few basic stuffs.. again thats only the begining hehhe.. then we headed to Sungai Buloh to visit huge garden/plant nursery overthere as suggested by my mil. I bought lots of flower plants and will post up the pica when we start our new gardening project on the front yard. 'Our' means my sister, husband, maid and Aliyah need to be involved huhuhu....
3. Save money huhuhu

4. Read more books-- sounds boring but actually not

5. Take more pictures and continue blogging!

Ok cheers for me guys... :P come on! show some support huhu

House Renovation??

noreply@blogger.com (Samcun) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 01:43:00 +0000

The floor tile in our house start popping up recently due to poor construction (After less than only 3 years!!). We have to re-do almost all the flooring downstair. There're so many things I want to change in the house, so we are also planning on renovation other parts of the house like countertop, sink etc etc yeayy!! (suka plak hahahha). So I think I'll won't pass out this op. hehehehe

The floor started popping up in the living room and the kitchen (couldn't really see in the above picture tho), so we have to move all the furniture.. It was scary.. I thought we were having an earthquake or something!!

Our dining area is so messy.

This is between the living room and dining area.

Food craving

noreply@blogger.com (Samcun) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 07:03:00 +0000

Alhamdulillah, I'm in the second trimester of my pregnancy, I don't have so much complaints on food served in front of me.. (unlike during the first trimester yang sungguh nightmare, ahh takmo ingat balik) but now everything is yummy.. especially the smell of freshly baked bread (except i never baked my own bread of course lah).. arghh pagi2 bau toast sedap nyer..

This was the superlicious over priced sandwich from O'Briens Irish Sandwich Bar.. kalu dpt mkn hari2 pun takpe hehe

Below is Briyani Rice from JM Baryani, Bangi.. not bad at all, the rice was not too milky/oily which was what I like the most :)

I end up buying a baby bluish sofa bed with very cheap2 price from Cavenzi :P My next mission is to put frames, wall clock, notice board etc up on the empty walls.

I missed my old room when I was studying in the US.. so cozy, cold and best utk tido hehe

noreply@blogger.com (Samcun) — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:18:00 +0000

it was very hard to give the home i live in a make over. then i saw the picture of Maximilian Sinsteden's dorm room in the apartment therapy - my all time fav blog. then i thought maybe i could turn my office into a dorm so it would become my second home.. and do whatever makeover i like (assuming my boss won't bother) hurmmmm yes yes!! When my office has the cormfy couch, i can sleep sleep.. briliant!!
