Eames' Beautifully Crafted Stuff

I am so so so so sooooo madly in lurve with you Eames. Hhahaa...Dear hubby, don't be jealous - if you're reading this post. I hope you will feel the same as I do. Hahha...Eames is a great designer and I've grown to be a huge fan of his! I've seen his chairs everywhere - one of the restaurants at Clarke Quay, home interior deco magazines, and MORE home decorating magazines. It's like everywhere, be it local or overseas. Or rather, is it that I just happen to have fate with his awesome chairs and they're just calling out to me this whole time. I seriously have no idea. LOL. But I am so in love with his beautiful crafted works. Look at them. Just take a look I beg you! Then you might understand what the hell I am crazy about. And I have plans. Even though I am still suffering from very bad case of diarrhea + rumbling tummy, I still cannot stop myself from secretly blogging (at work) :P


Again, when I have plans for my future HSH (read: Home Sweet Home), I still think there's a long long way ahead for me. Don't know when that will be, when it will come true, but I will still keep my faith there. 


I wanna have one of these as my 'work chair' in my home (work area). Yes the beautiful ORANGE padded one with wooden legs please. It simply looks so awesome, I can just hyperventilate whenever I take a look a the photos. 


Oh
my 
gawd.


And I love the padded one! Especially the padded one. It's like an extra comfort as compared to the usual Eames plastic chair. Hehe, way to go man! So, I will have one for my working area, and 6 for my dining table. Yes pls Dear, pls make my dream come true. I've never felt such a sooooo strong liking for anything before. This is the ONE(other than you & Falisha of course) hurhurhur. I soooooo wanna get it! Let's just hope it's not wayyy too expensive for my(OUR) pockets.

Chinny's Dream Land - My Wish list!

I have never ever posted anything about my dream home. I guess it's about time. Hahah...

I took a good look over the net and I realise these stuff are more or less what I really hope to have for my future home. Am looking more to something like modern chic. I wonder if Hubs will agree with my style. I remember him saying along time ago, that he'll be more concerned about the $$$-wise. 

Hahaha...duno when exactly that will be though.

More to come! 

I soooo look forward to hosting times where we invite friends to come over and chill and I

can get to cook a nice meal for them. Hmmm.

S.N.A.P.P.E.D Totally

Recently, I went to have coffee at the long-awaited newly-opened Kopitiam at my Mum's place. Sis has been saying the kopi there nice etc, so I tot, heck, just go and try. Guess what? This was my 1st experience.

Me & my Mum was at the counter. Bro was carrying a sleeping Falisha so we went to get the drinks instead. This was the conversation between me, my Mum & the 2 Aunties at the Kopi counter:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aunty 1: Lai what you want?

Me: 2 Cappuccino, one teh see ice.

Aunty 1: Oh cappuccino need to wait 5mins hor. 

Me & mum: Ok can.

Aunty 1: So you wanna wait or not?

Me: How, Mum? You wanna wait?

Mum(to the Aunty): Ok

Aunty 2: Oh the machine shut down liao. Or do you wanna drink something else?

Mum: Hmm. Ok then do you have Kopi C?
 

Aunty 2: Oh Kopi oso finished.

Me: So you have any kopi or not?? (Feelin pissed aredy )

Aunty 1: Cappuccino need to wait for 5mins k. So you wanna wait?

Mum:  Eh..ok la 5mins can la.

Aunty 2: So you want?

Mum: Ok then 2 cappuccinos pls.

Aunty 1: Eh..b-but you might need to wait slightly more than 5mins k. Actually I need to go back liao, I worked since 6am you know...

Me: SO ARE YOU SELLING YOUR CAPPUCCINOS OR NOT??? HAVE SAY HAVE, DON'T HAVE SAY DON'T HAVE LAH!!!!! NO NEED TO EE-EE-ORR-ORR LOH! ISSIT REALLY SO DIFFICULT TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU WANNA SELL OR NOT???????  

Then my Mum signal to my Sis and she came over.

Mum to sis: You wanna drink anything else or not? Like milo/teh etc.

Sis: I don't want anything then.

Aunty 1 to my sis: Oh you want ah? You want cappuccino ah? Okok I make one just for you k!

[I gave a disgusted look & walked away]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Given this, how do you expect me NOT to feel pissed and totally snapped? Seriously, c'mon!!! I think can put these type of people on the Noose and make fun of them loh. Arggh. See my sis come over only then say okok i make for you. I told my sis, next time you wanna drink YOU go buy la. Similan special treatment siah nabei. Aunty like you la.

Is it me being damn anal or is it these freakin Aunties just have NO BRAINS?? Goodness. Just wanna have a taste of their so-called nice Kopi and I was 'awarded' with this blood-pressure raising incident. WTF siah.

My Little L.A.D.Y

This is exactly what Falisha will do when she sees me holding my hp or cam trying to snap some shots of her. Haha...I sometimes ask her to smile, then she'll give me this ugly 'smiling' face. And then I simply felt stoopiak [read: stupid & needs to be slapped] after I said to her ok ok don't smile. BEST. I now know why sometimes kids thought that adults are contradicting people. Hahah...when I look back at those funny shots such as this, I cannot help but laugh to myself. LOL.

Recently she has been starting to say 3-word sentences. After which I hear liao I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

One example: After patting her for like 30mins for night sleep around 11:30-ish, she suddenly sat up from super sleepy mode to wide-awake saying 'I want...i-cweeem [ice cream]. My jaw dropped. Like in shock mode. I asked Falisha,'What did you say Darling?' She went,'I want I-CWEEEEEEM!' this time round like abit pek-chek. OMG. Then next thing I know, she said [like as if I din get it] 'Mummy I want cho-co-ret'. I was still having the shock face and finally she said,'I want shweet-shweet!' 

Champion la my little girl! Asking for these super no-no things in the middle of the night, I wanted to laugh but had to hide it and look strict and say,'No Darlin it's late night aredy, you need to sleep!' Then she threw and mini-fit and I had to use the 'scolding' tone to stop her nonsense. Then she just lay down and sleep. Winner!

Sometimes when I bring her out to 'walk-walk' abit she'll be in super good mood, sometimes she'll just call out loudly 'Mummy! Mummy-ah-mummy!' then run over to me and hug my humongous leg, smiling. How swheeet siah.

She's growing up by the day. OMG. My Little Lady. 

  

Best Birday Pressie 2010

Dearest beloved Quik-tina surprised me when I met her up for dinner recently. She bot me a Toy camera! Somemore it comes along a very cute customised card - hand-drawn by her. Haha...So shweeeet of her hor! It's the Superheadz Pink Dress Slim Cam with 22mm lens. Simply lurve it when it says 'Super Fat Lens'. Hahahaa... It's just so cool, I like it alot! Hahaha..And...she got me a PINK one! Muahaha...it was a very 'girly' colour but I like it alright :D

Thankyu Quik-tina! I can't wait to finish up that 1st roll of 36's and 'develop' the film! It seems like it's been a while since I last used a film cam. Hope the shots come out nice siah. It's really a test to my photog skills too. Hahaha...

Julie & Julia

I watched this movie called Julie & Julia a couple of weeks back. Alone. Yes alone. Starring Amy Adams & Meryl Streep, it was a simple heart-warming story about this lady Julia Child (Meryl Streep) who started a cookbook from her passion back in 1949. Julie Powell (Amy Adams) started a blog in 2002 as a challenge to cook all the recipes in Julia Child's first recipes cookbook. Their lives intertwined somehow...both were housewives and found their passion and way to success - with faith and perseverance and the support of their loving husbands and friends.

Looking at the life of Julie Powell(the modern lady), I was sudden engulfed in tears. As she challenge herself to cook all the recipes in Julia's cookbook, her husband was always there supporting her. The way he eats her food, oh my, it's just amazing. Hahaha..i've always lurved cooking, but my hubby being so sooo far away (yea i know it's only KL but to me it's still farrrr away) I can't really have the chance to do this anymore. When he's back, we will always be running around meeting relatives or friends for catching up. So I'm left with not much chances to cook for my loved one. Sighs. Looking at Julie cooking (not just for her husband but trying out the recipes) with the hub enjoying the food so much, I really really envy her. And of course whipping up some nice dishes and getting friends over for mini cosy gathering, that's just something I would very much like to do. I would very much lurve to have my VERY OWN SELF-DESIGNED kitchen where I can try out different dishes and who knows create new dishes. But I seriously wonder when that day will ever come.

Chinny's 1st post in 2010

Wow. I cannot imagine the last post I blogged about was in Oct '09. That's like freakin' long hiatus! LOL...

Anyways, I decided to start blog again - thanks to Leonny & Xiaxue. Reading their blogs inspired me to blog again after so long, and also to start 'photoblogging'! hehee...I hope it's not a periodical thing. Really wanna know more about photography and blogging skills, and I really envy these gd bloggers who can blog for a living (in a way la). Nice :)

Since this is my very 1st blog in 2010, I shall start with the 'resolution thingy'. Hahaa.

So here goes:

1) To be able to be with my Ah Lao more often (since he's in KL & bk here on & off)

2) To be able to spend more time with my darlin' Falisha

3) Start bringing Falisha to weekend classes and attend together for educational/creative learning

4) Repair my aircon (damn hot these days bueh tahan :( )

5) 24" iMac - Yes it's still in my 'want' list

6) Canon EOS 5D Mark II - Yes it's more ex then my desktop iMac (very ambitious I know :P)

7) Canon EOS 500D/550D (the more budget one haha)

8) Pick up photography skills

9) Shoot more pics of my darlin Falisha (her growing up) & of course everything else

10) Blog more often

11) Lose weight (yea right)

12) Pick up webbie-design/editing

My Dear Ah Lao has L.E.F.T

For work in KL. For a new future. Sighs..it's been 5hrs 25mins since I've last saw him. But I'm starting to miss him already. When we parted just now, I was fighting my tears so hard, I was worried I'll just burst out sobbing instead, right there, in front of him. Good thing I managed to hold back. I wanted him to go with a good mood, good feeling, instead of being heavy-hearted.

This is just a temporary arrangement, some say. You'll get used to it over time. Yea, but I still need to go thru this period isn't it?? Sighs..hope he'll call me soon tonight. He promised to call when he's reached there and settled down today.

Chao Chee Baiiii

OMG It's lame but hilarious!!! I laughed and laughed siah....

The interesting part is, they way they used the boy who was
the main character in the MV - spoof of the ghostly boy
from Ju-On! hahaa..

I Heart W.O.R.D.W.O.R.L.D

Believe it or not, I've fallen in love with this very interesting Children's Program, WordWorld, now showing on Starhub Cable TV, Playhouse Disney Ch 34. I feel that it's seriously incorporated learn AND play into one lovely 3D animation series, I sooOoo cannot wait for Falisha to start understanding TV educational programs other than her usual dance and sing and shapes & colours kinda videos. Hahaha..i tot of getting the DVDs already, but dunno whether is it wayyy too early to get it. Probably a nice age is when Falisha hits 2 years old? Can read and understand things alil' better? Hah. Maybe I should just buy and keep 1st yea.

Imagine:
The insect ant is formed with the letters A, N & T, the animal sheep formed with the letters S,H,E,E & P, and teaches viewers (why i dun mention kids cos i'm oso watching mah) how to form Words by adding letters together - what a nice concept! heehehe... As the stories usually revolve around the animals in the farm, the words are kinda limited though. But I still lurve it :)

My 1st own pair of H.A.N.D.M.A.D.E earrings :)

Recently I'm super into making fabric buttons for my Big Mama's collection of handmade accessories and I thought, hey how come I've never made anything for myself other than my darlin Falisha?

Fabric buttons are not just for kids, so why not make something for myself? Hehehe...and then whoalah!

Lurve it lurve it lurve it :)

Spot the P.A.N.D.A

Chinny wants a freakin' beautiful 24-inch iMac

Give it to me!!!

I desperately want & need ONE.

Is this how HE.L.P.F.U.L our country's welfares are now?

Recently, a very close family-like friend has entered a serious state of Cancer and needs to undergo op asap. They desperately need financial aid so i helped them looked around and found the society who supports the needy who kena this type of illness.

I emailed them to make enquiries, only to be ARROWED to some other sources with just 2-sentence replies in two emails. I read through her replies over and over again, wondering whether is it my english is too lousy or is it just her. I even showed it to a colleague to ask for opinion and she agreed with me: The lady didn't really answer my question.How lame can that be? I am totally DISGUSTED by this type of 'helpful' spirit of our fella country mate. What the hell?? This lame soul didn't even ask me further about the background of our friend and just said, 'we could not help'. WOW.

Just one simple approach from us and the UGLY side of the truth spills out.

S.C.R.A.P.P.Y Mode

I've always like scrapbooking, but I'm just too afraid that I will spend too much on buying the materials then stop the new hobby halfway altogether. Afraid that i will not be satisfied with the layout. Afraid that I have no time for it. But I really lurve it! I sooOOooo wanna do it milestone one for Falisha. Hahaha...and if wanna do digi-scrapping, i've got no comp at home. And i super lurve the textures of different paper materials and smaller lil' stickers and the thickness/depth you can do in HARD-solid copy. Hehe...i shall pop by PS next week to see see look look bah.
