I heart Marimekko fabrics. Love the Bold designs. The combination of colours and the quality. We might be visiting my brother Kip in Finland next year. Hope to get them. Kip & his partner Martta bought me the latest collection, a small purse. Fabric designed by Mika Piirainen . I wish to create kids clothes using these fabrics. http://www.marimekko.com

Raya curtain design for 2009!! Textile designed by a Swedish designer Anna Salander . I chose this to blend with the trees and leaves outside our flat. I never knew the cost to customize a curtain in Ikea was reasonable. My mum actually voluntered to sew. So sweet of her. Can't wait to hang it!! Our theme this year will be black & white with a splash of apple green. Dah lama dah tunggu. Planning ni dari raya tahun lepas. I am constantly giving my 101% when it comes to my home decor. But of course, keeping with our budget. How i wish i can do the same for my weight... Source: http://www.annasalander.com/oopssanden3.html

Raya is around the corner! This will be our 2nd year celebrating in our home. Me and hubby went ingredients shopping last week. It's for our experiment on raya cakes and cookies. Our 1st cake was Rich Chocolate Brownie . We took it from the book my hubby gave to me for our 1st Wedding Anniversary . I took it to work for colleagues to taste it. 1 of my teammates is a Chinese guy who couldn't wait for the rest till iftar. He ate it... The comment he gave me was, 'Next time you bake the whole cake and let me bring home.' So...sedaplah tu...kekekeke! (hai aku ni..duduk dalam bakul pikul sendiri...wakaka...) I'm so proud of my hubby. This would not be possible without him. So this coming Sunday, it's gonna be cookies. With tones of things to do. Hope we'll make it.

My baby SaraFalisha is down with gastric flu..I am now trying my very best to reduce her temperature. Gastroenteritis (also known as gastro , gastric flu , tummy bug in the United Kingdom, and stomach flu, although unrelated to influenza) is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, involving both the stomach and the small intestine (see also gastritis and enteritis) and resulting in acute diarrhea. The inflammation is caused most often by an infection from certain viruses or less often by bacteria, their toxins, parasites, or an adverse reaction to something in the diet or medication. Worldwide, inadequate treatment of gastroenteritis kills 5 to 8 million people per year, and is a leading cause of death among infants and children under 5. At least 50% of cases of gastroenteritis due to foodborne illness are caused by norovirus. Another 20% of cases, and the majority of severe cases in children, are due to rotavirus. Other significant viral agents include adenovirus and astrovirus...
