Deco deco deco.......sparkling and glitter.....

Silver or chrome candle stands
OMPrada.....for so long the blog was left untouched.....busy with so many things. :-( Today I have a wee bit of spare time to share something on deco....... How to get the expensive look without spending thousands of ringgit....... Simple tricks are.....firstly, look for bargain and discount items......buy these items when they are in sale......usually before you need them.....planned in your head what you really need to get the look....always think about accesories rather than the big furnitures.......secondly, the rich look requires just a wee bit of effort....just add something BLINK BLINK to your space.....what I meant is by using deco items with glittering gold, silver or diamond effects or color

Lumbar pillow with sequins
and thirdly, do not over do this, if you are the 'mak datin' type it is OK. The blink blink should be used sparingly as highlight.....but not as the main attention foci........do not combined goldish colour sofa with glitering sparkling pillow.....good  example include plain satin curtain with gems effect curtain deco, pastel colour sofa with sparkling pillow, dark dining table with silver candlestand .... OK that is my 5 cents idea on deco for today :-) Don't worry you'll do fine.....if you buy a little first, don't go mad, people might labelled you as manic!

    Tat crystal curtain tie looks great!! Mind share where u get tat?? I totally agree tat goods (needed in future) shd b bought before we need.
    I'm looking for carpet recently. Just bought a "micro-fibre" red carpet. I saw tat kind of carpet every where, night market, shopping centre. N the price ranges from few hundreds to thousand for same piece (based on my judgement) of carpet.

    I bought tat red carpet wit the price of 150 from a parkistanian which was sold 250 a day before I bought. I was so surprised.

    Thank you May for the sharing. The crystal curtain tie back may be found at SSF or Houz Depot, or you can buy fake crystal from SSF or any shops selling beads and ribbons, and make your own following your taste.

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero.  Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA cab

The Town of Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom

The time available for me to explore the Town of Reading was limited, as my worktrip was quite packed with formal meetings at the University of Reading and vis it to hospital and community establishments. Reading is located on the west of Heathrow Airport for about 26 miles and Greater London for about 42 miles. The Town Hall of Reading with grey and red bricks Lets go to the main landmarks of Reading. The first one is Reading Town Hall. The building was built between1786 and 1897. Currently, the town hall is used as Reading Museum and a large concert hall. Actually, the frontage was newly built with grey and red bricks, and terracota ornaments. The new facelift included the clock tower. Sadly however, the building suffered severe air raid in 1943. The latest refurbishement was completed in the year of 2000. On the southside of the town hall, you can see a dominant tower like structure that is the St Laurence’s Church. The Reading Town Hall, a vi

Before you snap here and there, know your lens first

Oppsss! I think I should introduce the lens, camera parts and photographic terms first before going to image composition. This time, I just want to share and introduce the terms and parts of lens. It is applicable for whatever lenses especially for the DSLR camera. The different will only be the terminology or abbreviation used by the specific manufacturer. Lenses can be categorized to many types such at wide angle, standard, prime and zoom. Each type of lenses have specific features and is used for specific purpose. For example, wide angle lenses are usually used for scenery/landscape and narrow space photography. Each lens will be marked with zooming distance (look at the numbers which ended with mm; see photo bellow). This number will gives you some ideas about the width of view when a photo is captured. A number less that 35mm can be considered as wide angle, the 50 - 55mm as normal lens, and the 75 mm and above as zoom lens. Wide angle lens will highlight the perspective of an
