First cut is the deepest

I’ve accidentally cut my finger last week. A real deep cut, the knife I used was freaking sharp and manage to cut through my flesh till mid part of my finger. Sampai tengah2 jari, let say my jari kedalam dia dalam 1cm, so luka I tu about 0.5cm. Deepest cut ever. So much blood spilled and I was screaming in pain at 4.00 o’clock in the morning.

I was lucky since my mother was sleeping with her 2 grandchildren near the kitchen area, so she quickly came to rescue me lah. Haihhhh. If my mom dekat dalam bilik depan, mmg haru biru. Banyak sangat darah keluar tak berhenti and I keep washing it. Then my mom passed  me some tissue and soon after that blood stop spilling. Then emak letakkan gamat and tampal handyplast, then I terus masuk tidur. At that time I really felt like I wanna passed out, can barely walk and see. My eyes were so blurred and my vision getting dimmer.

Tapi before tidur sempat mengadu dekat husband, he was asleep but I kejutkan dia dan cerita. But when he started to mention about sending me to clinic for stitching bagai, I terus pengsankan diri, like betul2 pengsan. The thought of having my finger stitched lagi serammmmm youuu.

Esoknya, he reminds me about stitching again and I just pekakkan telinga.

Nk tahu apa I buat sampai luka berdarah ni? Well, ni lah dia tengah2 malam tk reti nk tidur, dok gi selongkar dapur cari benda makan. Masa tu I teringat I wanted to taste my mom’s cookies. She made some samples for Raya, masa dinner I terlupa nk makan, so I took one packet but can’t seemed to locate any scissors to cut the plastic wrap. Disebabkan nk cepat I just amik pisau and tahu-tahu I cut my finger. Arghhhhh super sakit!! Serve me right…yeahh.

Back from busyness

I can’t believe I didn’t update this blog for almost a WEEK! Dang, must be pretty bored uh checking this blog on regular basis and yet no update. Sorry guys, been busy for the entire week and I feel super exhausted. Now am at my parent’s house in Negeri Sembilan taking a short break.

Next week, we gonna close shop for a while or to be exact a week. So, no delivery for next week yeah. Kasi chance kami relaks sket before start to work again. Tapi I takder la cuti sepenuhnya sbb am gonna settle few things for Nilam. Masalah dengan para tukang jahit ni mmg parahhhhh betul lah. Bernanah otak. Until today, I still can’t find a really good tailor for my boutique. No doubt many tailors in Malaysia, but attitude and quality jahitan kebanyakkan adalah fail dgn cemerlang. Oh don’t blame me for making such statement yaaa, trust me I’ve been interviewing, testing and working with many tailors….so I KNOW yeah with capital K.N.O.W

Ada yang kata boleh jahit, tapi bila buat first sample jahitan mcm kene gigitan tikus, I think I can sew better. Ada yang kata boleh jahit, boleh jahit cepat, boleh jahit bulk tapi bila dah kasi banyak tempahan…last-last back out? Wth? Ada yang jahit sangat cantik, kualiti butik, boleh hantar kuantiti minimum, tapi bila call or sms selalu tk reply and tk return call…then how la to make a deal like that? Too bad…Ada yang jahit ok, pandai cutting pattern tapi demand harga lagi mahal dari tailor designer. Ok now, you tell me how am I suppose to proceed with my business like this? Susah ok.

So, for the time being I think I kene gagahkan diri cari tailor sementara yang “boleh pakai” punya tailor. Bukan tailor hampagas. After that I think I’ll slowly buy few more machines like high speed, cover-stitch and high duty serger and I’ll hire a tailor to work with me at my house. Mcm tu senang, adhock basis. If ada job she can datang and jahit depan mata aku. Then, I pon boleh slowly jahit2 di masa lapang (ada ker masa lapang? sbb if ada pon I prefer to rest and watch tv series)

Kalau sesiapa baca ni dan awak adalah tailor yg bukan tailor hampagas sila contact saya. Saya berminat nk cuba tengok hasil jahitan dan kebolehan menjahit.

Oh speaking of tv, shooting utk tv slot hari tu berjalan agak lancar except my part lah. I felt so nervous and shaky. Damn. The host asked me to look at her when answering the question, tapi I mmg jenis tak suka making eye contact. I prefer to talk to the furniture, sky or ceiling. So, next time kalau ada jenis2 yg interview yg host won’t appear in the camera, then I akan suruh dia tanya but don’t sit in front of me. Letak la kerusi ker meja ker depan I and I’ll be happy to talk to em compare to human being. Hohoho.

Interview tv tu for Lonia chocolate wrapper and I featured this in Safiyya TV9 (schedule for show in July) latest hantaran yang I buat for my customer. She’s actually staying in Kuwait and just got back to attend her cousin’s wedding. So this hantaran is for her cousin lah. For your record, it’s the most difficult hantaran creation I ever made by far, took several days to finish it up sbb susah nk susun and require lotttttttts of time and patience. Chocolates pula tend to melt kan, so can you imagine betapa susahnya I nk kejar masa? dah la malaysia panas, mmg mengucap panjang I buat hantaran ni. Haha. Tapi last-last berjaya lah

Ok lah, sambung next time. Oh btw, just nk announce sesiapa nk tempah baju kurung utk raya (fabric cotton or yg senang jahit) boleh hantar dekat I. Tapi kene cepat lah sbb tempahan utk raya dah nk penuh. I dah siap buat 2 helai utk customer and alhamdullilah they liked it! Bukan I buatlah my tailor yg buat And kalau nk beli kain polkadot pon can buy from me also, I ada supplier and ada few selection. Contact me if interested ok. Just hantar sample baju kurung yg sedia ada and we can make according to your sample measurement. Don’t worry tailor pilihan I mmg tailor yg terbaik sahaja tak ada yg jahit mcm ular kene palu or macam kene gigit tikus. That’s for sure.

Ok bye-bye muahsssss.

Frust

How do I start eh? Susah nk cakap sbb blog isn’t a good place to tell about everything under the sun actually. But maybe good enough if I just say am kinda pissed off with someone yang banyak sangat kasi alasan and did not deliver. I think I’ve given that person enough time (plentyyy of time actually) to prepare things that I want, yet service adalah amat mendukacitakan.

Ok lah, I don’t want to mention who sbb ada ramai jer yg tak deliver job timely, but ada sesetengah tu I just tutup mata sbb fikir kawan-kawan kan and sbb fikir tolak ansur ko tolong aku, aku tolong engkau. But ada juga sesetengah yang I xleh nk kowtim cincai. Jenis macam tu lah yg selalu buat I baran.

I berdoa semoga I takkan buat mcm tu lah kat orang lain especially dalam business bilamana kita kene deliver apa yg kiter dah promise kan?

Speaking of business ni, insyallah utk julung-julung kali-nya saya akan masuk TV. Hahah. Rasa kelakar la plak dan of course gayat ? Gayat dan hmm ketarrrrr. Mix feeling sungguh. Apa tips eh nk nampak kurus dalam tv? Haihhh benci lah. Nnt dah siap shooting next week , I announce airing time and date ok. Itupon kalau nk tengok lah. Heee.

Ok bye!

Politik Raja Lawak & P.Ramlee

Politician dekat Malaysia ni tak tahu lah apa nk jadi. Sejak dari pilihanraya yg lepas sampai la sekarang nk masuk pilihanraya baru, asyikkkk berpolitik. Bila masanya buat kerja??? Menteri-menteri yang betul-betul ikhlas buat kerja boleh dibilang and boleh kenal sangat dengan mata kasar.

Yg gila kuasa, tkder tokoh jadi pemimpin, pemalas dan bodoh sombong tumbuh melata. Tak tanam, tak siram, tak baja tapi depa ni tetap banyak jer membiak-biak. Berbulu mata aku tengok. Baik kasi aku jadi menteri lagi bagus lah.

Baru-baru ni saya adalah sentap dapat SMS dan booklet “Raja Lawak”. Yg SMS tu mcm ala-ala kutuk parti pembangkang punye leader and kata dia confirm liwat and segala haram jadah. Pastu sebut “P.Ramlee, Bujang Lapok” ke apa kebenda tah haku tk ingat dan diakhirnya haku tk faham apa benda org tu cuba nk sampaikan sbb ayat berbelit-belit. Fail sungguh.

Yg booklet “Raja Lawak” tu lagi keji ok. Nk termuntah aku tengok. Gambar depan baekkkk punye gambar logo Raja Lawak yg sebenar, bila bukak dalam pengotor habis ok. Superimpose gambar2 lelaki bogel and gambar kartun2 keparat yg semua mimic leader opposition party.

Ok sebelum nk buat apa-apa andaian, entry ni bukan nk choosing side. Tapi saya cuma nk kasi tahu lah tindakan yg bodoh hantar surat2 dan sms ni org dah tk buat lagi la der zaman ni. Ko ingat ni zaman org tk boleh fikir? Mari aku tolong fikirkan utk kau ok. Bila dapat surat-surat or sms celaka mcm tu, aku tkkan buta-buta gi kata…ahhh ni confirm party lagi satu punye kerja. Kene buat analisis dulu ok, ada byk kemungkinan di situ…

Bila kaji-kaji last-last tak tahu kan siapa yg buat? Tapi surely ada org kaya behind this, sbb tgk setem 80 cent and booklet tu adalah dalam 4-5 pieces A4 size paper yang fully colored ok. Sampul surat lagi. Ha tk ker mahal cost nyer tu? Pastu upah pencacai nk jilat setem and envelope pastu gi pos pon nk kene kira jugak kan?

Yg pelik mana dia dpt alamat rumah aku ni eh? Kalau nk kata ikut alamat daftar utk mengundi, aku guna alamat kampung , tk guna alamat rumah mertua aku ni. Mcm mana la diaorg dapat alamat rumah mertua aku dan eja nama aku dengan tepat sekali? Aneh. Dah tu org-org dalam rumah ni tkder pon dapat surat tu, aku sorang jer plak yg dapat tu. Cissss.

Sorry la tk ada gambar booklet tu, sbb jijik benar nk letak kt sini. Lagi satu karang tk pasal-pasal haku kene saman plak. Tapi just nk cakap lah, apa-apa pon ni bukan zaman pak andir or mak andir. Kempen murahan mcm ni, buat rugi duit setem and bayar pencacai jer. Org baca, tengok and buang jer beb. Buat penat lidah nk jilat setem bebanyak. Yuckss.

Apa-apa pon ada 2 persamaan SMS and booklet Raja Lawak. Dedua bertemakan comedian iaitu P.Ramlee dan Raja Lawak (yg banyak lawak plastik). Hoho. Kebetulan sungguh yer?
