I am supposed to update something here, but was too busy with Usana orders, packing orders, checking the address so that post office won’t get it mix up,that’s the most important thing. Baru-baru ni dah terkena sekali, package tertukar. It was such a nightmare for me, sbb normally bila customer order I will try my best to courier it immediately or at least in within 24-48 hours, most of the time 24hrs. I hate waiting and I believe I should treat others the same aight? But, when the package wrongly delivered and customer need to go through the hassle to return the package and yada yada, I felt terribly ashamed and guilty [even though it wasn't my fault at the first place] Haihhhhh..to aisyah and ila sorry banyak2 yer.

Oh yer, I chose to deliver the products/orders myself [using pos laju] sbb it is way faster than City Link. Of course pos laju postage fee is much higher compare to flat rate RM4 charged by City Link / Usana but at least I’ll have a peace in mind knowing that it will surely arrived within 1-2 days. By the way, am willingly to absorb the extra charge for pos laju, worry not ok:) My postage fee will always RM4 no matter how big your order is.

Oh fyi, I found a new hobby to keep me preoccupied so that I won’t think about food much. Huhu. I love colors, drawing and painting, even though I am not really good at producing such a great art let alone masterpiece, but sikit-sikit tu boleh lah kot. I bought some fabrics the other day and thinking to get my auntie to sew a dress and shirt for me. Since, I was in the mood to play with my color pencils and markers, so di pagi-pagi buta around 4 o’clock in the morning, I came out with my own fashion illustration. Haha. The pink dress was my first attempt to draw fashion illustration and the olive green obviously my second attempt. Yg hijau tu sajer2 jer lukis, since I was bit boring smlm. Nk update blog malas and nk buat apa2 pon malas, thus, decided to sketch the olive green dress. Ok tak my sketch tu? I main taram jer asal boleh.

Meanwhile, it’s rather hard for me to find a home base tailor that could sew dress that I want. Kalau tailor dekat kedai-kedai sgt la ridiculous the charge fabric plak mahal. For example fabric for the pink dress, is about RM60 per meter and I need around 4-5 meters. Mmg pengsan. So kalau hantar kt sebarang2 tailor, takut rosak pulak kain. Hmm dilemma betul. Kalau you guys tahu any tailor yg boleh jahit as my illustration above to feel free to contact me ok. Mana lah tahu, kalau jahit bagus harga bagus, maybe I can consider selling dress and casual wear for my Nilam Boutique. Ok ker?

Tomorrow I will attend a briefing session for homestay program in Malacca organized by Tourism Malaysia. My blog has been invited and shortlisted to join the program, I can’t thank god enough and hope there will more rezeki pouring in, insyallah I can’t believe that my humble blog yg tk seberapa ni got spotted by Tourism Malaysia [adakah mungkin sbb I dok bising nk pergi Tioman hari tu?] Huhu. If yes tak sia-sia riuh sekampung uuuu. Thank you Tourism Malaysia!

I have no idea what are the activities that awaits , looking forward for the briefing. Oh and the best thing is, Imran and Ichiro will join the program too! Awesome.

chemical engineer , design plant, piping, vessel and so on. oh kalau concentrate betul2 siap cepat kot. hihi. akak kene lukis n color cepat2 sbbnye dah kol 4 pagi masa tu, so nk masuk tido dah. so cincai poncai jer color. tapi sketch cam ni simple jer kot, tkder details sgt so maybe senang, cuba la try kaklau diya nk buat card, boleh la sketch dulu card tu..tapi org dah terer buat tkyah sketch2 dah kan. ni idea utk membuang masa la. hee

ala ili never came across my mind nk jadi designer, sbbnyer hmm..entah mmg tk terfikir. i lukis2 tu pon sbb nk buang masa and sbb i suka beli color sebenarnya, i ada krayon, watercolor, pastel color, magic colors, marker pen…ha everything la. I just love colors. So, tkan nk buat hiasan jer kan tu yg dok lukis2..hihi. Tapi if suddenly i jadi designer, alhamdullilah..sila la jadi fan saya ok nk jadi designer bukan senang, kene tahu byk aspect lain lagi kot rasanya, such as jenis fabric and fabric apa yg sesuai utk certain baju..blending color and etc.
