Usana, Fashion Illustration and Tourism Malaysia
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.
It’s the mother who throws tantrum…
Ichiro with “ciur” . It is such a bittersweet moment, eventho it wasn’t for real.
Ok, I’m pretty busy with Ichiro nowadays. Sometimes it need more than a great patience to handle him. Knowing me, I’m lacking in that department. But, I tried my best to control my temper as I kept reminds myself that he’s just a baby and that’s what baby does best —> Yeah testing adult patience.
Since, I’m now in PJ , hence I got to look after my son during day time alone. Normally, my mom will give me an extra hand, but since I’m in PJ and nobody at home except the maid, thus I need to look after Ichiro myself. Which once a while gives me a real goosebumps, as I don’t know what to expect for tomorrow. Will he be cranky? Will he cooperate?
Not yet darling…
But whatever it is, yeah I want him to be always with me. I can opt to leave him with my mom back at my hometown but afraid that I will miss him so badly later. So angkut sekali la
This entry of mine can be deceiving. It sounds like my son is too demanding and cranky until I can’t stand it. Well, the truth is I think, I’m the one who needs to learn to control my temper and patience when dealing with 8 months old baby. Nothing is wrong with Ichiro and to think again he’s not that demanding compare to other baby that I’d met before. Not at all.
Pardon me, am just throwing my tantrum here….
3 generation – grandpa, daddy and baby
Tapi bila I nak naik hangen, tiba-tiba Ichiro cakap “bumm bumm” [his favourite word at the moment], terus tk jadi…aha comel la plak.
Enjoy random pics of Ichiro. Mommy love you so much, please just bear with me ok. Your daddy spoilt me, so blame him on my attitude.
Oh btw, am about to launch new promotion for every purchase of Usana products via me. Will update the details very very soon [hope can get it ready within these few days] and be sure to stay tune to Mr & Mrs Imran as this blog is going to change its skin again [yeah again...] On the biomega contest result, the entry has been drafted and about to be publish, hope I can finish it by this week ok. So sorry for the delay, but yeah the biomega is ready to be ship to the winner. I just bought it last week.
I miss my sewing machine and can’t wait to have my hands on it next week! Am thinking to offer some of sewing project for free to my readers, errr do you guys think you want to wear things that I sew? Well, I make sure it’s pretty la kan. Hohoh. Well, we talk about it later la. I’m not very firm about it yet.
My Brother & Singer sewing machine
Well, I did mention in my previous entry here that I would put up some photos of my new sewing machine. Sadly, haven’t got the chance to do so, sorry. My mom had placed the machine inside our old house [made of wood, with zinc roofing], and it’s pretty hot in there during day time, close to temperature of a burning oven. Hence, comfortable to sew during night time only, and the lighting is very poor so end up I didn’t take any photos.
But fret not, the machine now is no longer in our wooden house. We moved it into the brick house [ehe], so that I could use the machine whenever I got the chance to [read as whenever Ichiro is sleeping]. Good news, I also have a couple of photos of the machines.
I had a tough time using the machine in the beginning. Even though the machine is semi-computerised, but for someone like me who had zero knowledge about sewing , it could be a nightmare
Things getting worst, when my mom also having trouble to familiarize herself with the machine. She kept on making noise on how difficult to sew thick and soft fabric with the machine that I newly bought [my mom was a tailor, has been sewing for about 20-30 years].
I love the machine, I love new technology, I love gadget. But sewing machine ain’t a computer or handphone or camera that I can just simply explore. Sewing machine is super sensitive with the needles and moving mechanical parts, you need to really know what you are doing. I chose Brother over many other brand because of…errrrr…I don’t know. Simply attracted to it, mungkin sbb ia canggih, semi-computerised. Yeah I love everything about computer and if I boleh surf internet dgn sewing machine ni sure lagi best. Huhuh.
But ever since I got more access to the machine [thanks to the new placement], am starting to develop my skills using the machine, had done some googling on tips and proper method to sew via the internet. But was bit frustrated since I couldn’t find video tutorial that I want, thus I thought that maybe I could make video tutorial / tips for beginner. I truly understand the agony and suffer that beginner need to go through, so I hope I can share little knowledge that I have about sewing. Expert can watch but please don’t laugh 
Hehe.
In the video I will use my own sewing macine and serger/overlock machine which are Brother Innovis 50 – NV50 and Singer. Thus, please refrain from asking me on how to use other brand ok.
Ichiro yang sibuk nk menjahit jugak
Till then…daaaaa.
Autumn in Malaysia?
It’s autumn in Malaysia! I was sitting on the swing with my son just now and saw fallen leaves from the “pokok mangga” covered the area entirely. It was somehow very soothing to my eyes and decided to take few pictures of it. It is also reminded me to the autumn season in 4 seasons country [definitely not malaysia] maple leaves and autumn in my heart [the korean movie].
My son as usual, tido masa duduk atas swing ok. Haha. The pictures are rather dark because sky was little bit cloudy this morning.
Yeah, am at my hometown again. I slept at 4 am last night as I was too preoccupied with my sewing project. Overjoyed a bit, sbb yayy! my skill on sewing is getting betterrrrr and yesterday I discovered few more tips and I’m now totally a happy mother who ehem…sew.
Muahssss!
p/s: hope you guys won’t feel so stress out today to start work. it’s a short working week this week peeps so be happy!
