Steroid fat

Someone gave me such a great idea today on what to say to people who tells me that I'm fat.

All I have to do is just tell them that I'm on steroid pills. Doctor's orders.

The side effects of taking the steroid pills has made me fat. Not because for years and years I purposely eat a lot or refuse to do any exercise.

So please understand that it's not my fault that I'm fat now. Seriously. LOL! :P

Healing song

How I wish I can just sing this healing song and heal what has been hurt..............change the fate's design.........save what has been lost........bring back what once was mine......

If only I got the healing power to do so........................... >.<

Burung Murai Gila

The name of the birds you see in the video is Burung Murai Gila or Burung Sambar Murai Gila or also known as The Pied Fantail in English........wow....feeling like a zoologist or something tonight ahahaha......I just found out the name of this bird when I was googling tonight for it's real name.

My Mom (the Science teacher) told me that it's burung murai but I just wanted to be sure of it's real name so I googled for it and to my surprise the name is actually burung murai gila. And I think I know why! LOL! Every time I observed the bird, I've always thought that it was a  little crazy (gila) because of it's behavior. It keeps hopping around with no specific direction and makes such a loud noise like it's in trouble or something even though it's not. Hence the reason why I thought it's crazy.

This type of bird is another one of the many species of birds that hangs out at my Mom's garden.....I've seen them here for years now. They are pretty noisy but I love how their fantail moves up and down when they hop around on the ground. So fancy looking and proud.

I was lucky enough to get a video of the birds this afternoon using my hand phone. The baby bird was calling it's mother to feed it. I watched how the mother flew here and there in the garden searching for food for her baby.......the minute she gets it, immediately she would fly to her baby and feed it. The baby bird would follow her everywhere she goes. It keeps on calling and calling the mother, asking her to feed it.......the baby must be really hungry. I saw the mother catching some small insects and fed the baby.............such sacrifice.......all mothers are amazing indeed...... :)

So I'll be...

Another lovely day.......so far so good....a little sunny now after the rain......it had been raining quite heavily since last night.....the ground is now pretty wet and can't walk around some areas in the garden as there are a few small pools of water on the ground........which is wonderful for the birds.....they love taking baths in those small pools and having fun. Love watching them from my bedroom window. :)

I think I have a crush on a new craft technique. I bought a book about it quite a long time ago but never got around to try it out. It seems pretty simple enough but of course nothing is ever like that when it's your time trying. It took a while for me to figure it out and I'm just pretty excited and happy with the results. I can't wait to share about it in my card blog after my holidays. I managed to make 2 cards using that technique and I'm just loving it.....can't wait to make more. What's great about it is that I don't need to buy new craft tools to make them......I can just use the materials I already have available in my studio. Bliss for card makers like me hehehe.

May is coming to an end soon and before I know it, it's going to be June. I can't believe I still have pending work from April that I have not yet completed. I just have a few more days left in May to get it done and posted. Time.....need more time. Even though I'm on "holiday".......but guess what? I work sometimes when I feel like it, when my body says..." yes dear, go ahead and be productive for a few minutes" hehehe..... :D and so I'll be..............

Burung Tekukur

Burung Tekukur, also known as the Spotted Dove.......can be found a lot at our garden. I spotted these three Spotted doves yesterday and they are always seen together.......I've seen them a few time together......perhaps they are siblings because they are quite small in size compared to the others I've seen before around the garden that are much bigger than they are.

I couldn't get a clear photo of them as they were walking quite far from me.....and I took this photo using my camera phone....plus I can't get too close to them as they would fly away......they are just so cute!!

Cool day

The birds and other creatures in the garden seemed pretty cheerful this morning.......including me because the weather today is simply beautiful. 

It started to rain very heavily around 3.30AM and continued to rain till around 9.00AM.......so you can imagine the cool weather at my place right now. It's like having natural air conditioner everywhere at home. Bliss!

They said that it will be raining throughout the day........so perhaps I'll be seeing more rain later in the day I guess. I don't mind as long as the rain doesn't cause any flood....hehehe......no flood please huhu.

Fortunately this cool weather is not making me feel sleepy. I'm wide awake and inspired to create! ;) Hey it rhymes! haha! ;)

Eggs in onion rings

This is all because of Pinterest!! Blame it on Pinterest! All the photos of food in there are driving me crazy ahahahahaha! Of course I can't try all the wonderful recipes in there but at least I'm trying something! ahaha! One of it that's super easy to do is how to cook eggs in big onion rings! I saw one photo in Pinterest that caught my eye.....it looks super easy to do and yummy too. You can have a look at the photo at the link here: http://www.apronstringsblog.com/vegetarian-entrees/onion-ring-sunny-side-up-eggs-sauteed-onion-as-a-ring-mold-for-eggs/

So I gave it a try this morning but it didn't look as nice though......but it did tasted great to me! hehe! I don't like the eggs to be too soft and wobbly, so I fried it on both sides, that's why you see the top part of the eggs looking all fried and crisp on top. ;)

I could also try cooking the eggs in pepper rings too......that would look pretty and less messy because the size of the rings are bigger .........but that's for next time hehehehe ;).

Twin yolks!

I was happily eating my Curry Maggi mee for lunch today and my Mom gave me a hard boiled egg to eat with it.  I didn't notice anything peculiar about the egg in the beginning.....but when I cut the egg in half with the tablespoon, I was surprised to see twin yolks in the egg! Wow!

Some legends say that if you find twin yolks in an egg it would bring you good luck or good fortune. Well I sure hope so coz I could really use some right now ehehehehehe! ^.^

Stalking craft sites

I think I've been spending a little too much time these days stalking craft sites ever since I started my holiday. It's one of my favourite past times hehehe.....I also spent a lot of time watching craft tutorials on YouTube. Seriously it can be very addictive. I learned a lot from it. It's one of the best ways to educate myself on craft.

Gosh.....there's so many great projects to make from the YouTube craft tutorials, I just feel like trying them all at the same time hehehe.....and I'm anxiously waiting for some new tools to arrive at my door step so that I can create something new for my card blog as well. Sometimes new tools can inspire us to make new and exciting new designs. I hope! LOL! Can't keep repeating old designs.....can be boring. So, gotta always be doing something new to challenge the mind a bit. It's good to make the mind do some extra work hehehehe.

Pinterest is also one of my favourite sites to stalk...hehehe......seriously I could spend hours browsing it. And the photos uploaded there by other members are seriously so beautiful...mind blowing etc etc.....words cannot express how inspiring they can be. It's so refreshing, so bla bla bla........speechless......makes me giddy and alive all the time hehehehe! :D

Hopefully I will be well enough to try out all the crafts one by one......can't wait to feel 100% good again.....at the moment, I'm just creating a little at a time......sketching the ideas for future projects too ;).

It's good

Funny how even at night time I have to switch on the air conditioner in my room when I craft or when I sleep. Can't craft or sleep at the night without the air conditioner anymore. It's pretty hot even though the sun is hidden. That's how it is here in Alor Setar. It's pretty hot....even when it rains.

I feel more relaxed and calm these days. I can feel that my body is feeling a little better although it's still aching here and there. At least it wasn't as bad as it was before. I can feel the difference.This holiday has done me good so far. I'm happy about that. :) More needs to be done in order to feel a lot better. Trying my best to be strong.......
