I love summer,hot summer but not as hot as Malaysia weather!!When I see flowers bloom everywhere in our neighbourhood and park,I feel good and happy.The most important part is when the pollen didn't attack me anymore!!.I will show you randomly some flowers photo which I took in my own yard..
I have no idea what this flower called!!.Actually it's a big bush come with flower in late spring.The branches is quite spiky.When I first moved here,I have no idea the bushes produce flower in late spring.So I took a machete(parang) and chop off all the bushes until botak(bald)!!
The flower will stay for 2 weeks only ,then I have to wait for the next year before I can see them again.
New leaves is coming out from grape tree.Last year I trim or prune the veins in winter when the tree in dorm period.It's all over our neighbour fence and now it's came out again but can't prune it until winter,won't want to hurt the tree.
I dunno how to make this grape tree more healthy and fertile.I try to spread some fertilizer at the root but still,I afraid I'm going to kill this 40 year old grape tree if I over feed..
Remember I bought some annual in Lowe's weeks ago on sale?..I didn't realise it's have double color on the same flower!!..Pretty right?
I think my yard have few visitor" little friend" who love to dig the soil and dig out my plant.It's really a nuisance.I think it's mole but Elliot said it's chipmunk.
Last year I bought some mole poison and stump it on the tunnel,hope to kill all the moles.These little friend destroy my lawn which I newly built.Every morning these mole will make a nice pattern or design on my lawn..When I see this happen to my lawn ,it's make me cry*sob ,sob,sob*
Last year I bought 4 pots of Azalea from Lowe's on sale the end of summer.A pot for $4.00 in 1 gallon container.I keep praying it's won't die on me before this summer or else I can return back to Lowe's before 12 months period over.Yes,in US and A we can return plant back to the store we bought for money or exchange.If our plant die,just return the container with receipt.Isn't a good deal?.
Daithus come back every year but mine was destroy by birds at my back yard.Every morning there is almost 30-40 birds coming out from their sanctuary just behind my back yard to find food.I heard an old man who die leave his land to our town .Well,our town doesn't utilized his land so grandpa and grandma birdy take advantage of the in habitat land and become their home.
Look how beautiful is my Iris.Yes,it's purple and yellow color.Too bad the flower just stay for 2 weeks and I can only see them again next year.
Actually in the middle of this Iris is a big tree but I chopped it down and moved all the Iris to cover it.
We went to the mall just 10 minutes drive away from our home.Mishu inside Children Place where they sell shoes only
Mishu have problem with her shoes,she can't walk faster because her shoes it's a little bigger than her foot.
Mishu try to relax and adjust her foots in her shoes by sitting down.
Look Mishu still can run with her uncomfortable shoes!!
Remember the Motorola cell phone W 385 ,I get before my trip back to Malaysia??.At that time my instinct tell me NOT to get this phone but I still choose Motorola brand,why? Because it's have more function than other Samsung phone.Too bad,that phone is SUCK!
I don't have enough time to use my new Motorola cell phone before my trip back to Malaysia.Well,I can't use this phone in Malaysia because Verizon locked up(code) our phone since it's a FREE phone.If I activate an international line,the charge is going to be very expensive.In US and A our cell phone contract are very different from Asia.In fact,in Asia we can just buy any SIM card and open an account.I know when I was in Hong Kong,I just buy a SIM card in 7-11 store and activate the card within minutes.Of course in Malaysia,it's quite a different story,you have to register your IC and blah ,blah and blah..
Since my 30th day trial period was over and my new Motorola phone keep hung up and frozen everytime I want to make call,I have to go to Verizon corporate store to get my cell phone fix.
While waiting for mommy,Mishu play with the display phone on the rack.Too bad,the technician told me they can't exchange other brand cell for me because my 30th day trial period was over but they can replace another same model Motorola phone for me.Verizon will send my new phone in 2 days by express mail.I hope my new phone won't give me problem
Look at this chubby gal..She love this white dress..She said "ye ye mai"(aunt bought) this dress for me.My sister bought this dress for her in Tesco,that right!
She keep saying she is princess.And she said Princess is "mei lee"(pretty)!!lol!!.I guess she told us she pretty!!
This is the "S" hook I bought in Ikea..real big ...right?.I'm going to hang more pot and pan at my kitchen wall..oh yes,I saw few pan and wok in Amazon dot com..Here I come Amazon!!.Stay tune for more summer flower.I also plant some tomato plant this year.Hope they don't die on me!!
I remember when I was in my pre-teen,I love to watch Japanese manga(comic) cartoon character in TV.One of my favourite TV show is Ultraman.I guess everybody have seen that TV show in late 70's.After Mishu was born ,I don't have the luxury to watch or read Japanese Manga comic book or TV show.I wish one day I have the chance to go back to my pre-teen years and enjoy watching my favourite Japanese manga .If given me the chance, I would love to choose super-powered Ninjas Naruto,Yu Yu Hakkusho as my Japanese manga name.Ninja are paragons of stealth that high-powered, superhuman and psychically gifted .I come across
Bleach the Movie when I'm surfing online looking for Japanese manga movie.I'm looking forward to watch it at our nearby theatre with hubby and Mishu.Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody is open at selected movie theatres nationwide for two nights only ,that is June 11th and 12th at 7:30 PM!.Hurry up to purchase your tickets in advance.Tickets are available NOW by entering your zip code in the "Find Theatres" box above or at the theatre box office.Remember the seating is Limited !!.
I attended my last Wilton's Cake Decoration class yesterday .I received a Certificate of Merit and a FREE gift from Wilton after completing my lesson 1 classes.Actually I have a busy day yesterday running around getting things done and at last minutes preparing for my class,it's pouring hard.I wonder why every time when I have classes,it's must rain?.What do you said...good or bad sign?hmmmmm....Anyway,I'm going to attend the class no matter it's rain or shine!! That my determination!!If I miss one of my classes,Wilton's not going to replace what I have miss,so I better learn as much as I can since I already paid for it.
No,this beautiful cake is not belonged to me.It's belonged to one of my class mate.Our instructor,ask us to decorate our own cake as we like .So we can show her what we have learn from her classes.
No,this is not my cake again!!..I like her decoration,simple and yet elegant!.Beginning of our class,we have 7 person but at the end it's just left 3 of us.
At last it's my cake!!.I 'm only able to deco half of my cake when time up,so I bring home and continue the rest.
I didn't practise the right way to make roses at home after my class last week .Too busy and lazy too!!lol!.At last I try to make roses when my instructor ask us to deco our cake.I still need to know how to hold the pipping in right angle.Broken roses:( ouch!!
At this class our instructor teach us how to make leaves using different tips.
Our instructor also teach us how to make clown which is so easy and simply.
Honestly,I still need more practise to make a perfect cake decoration.Mine is out of shape!!
Before we leave,our instructor gave us our Wilton's Certificate Of Merit.
I bring home my certificate and Elliot quickly frame up for me!!hehehe!!
And this is the FREE gift from Wilton's as promised when we sign up for lesson 1.A cute cookies cutter!
I also signed up for Fondant class next month.I get 40% off from original price which is $40 and another $5 off with a voucher after I complete my lesson 1.This is the right kit for Fondant lesson.My instructor ask me to return my previous purchase which I bought last few months ago" Fondant 17 pieces set "and exchange for this set.
I'm rushing home to send my MIL back to NYC.Well actually,I ask Elliot to stop at Ikea when he send his mother back to NYC but he want me to come along.My MIL come to visit us for few days over Memorial weekend and she must be back to her apt coz she have doctor appointment.
I want to get a big"S" hook for my kitchen in Ikea but just for the sake of the Big hooks,I'm not going to waste gas just driving to Ikea.Furthermore Ikea store is on the way to NYC from my home.
I asked Elliot to drop Mishu and me at Ikea on the way he sending his mother home to NYC to save time .It's take him 30 minutes to drive me there and another 45 minutes to drive his mom home to NYC.So Ikea's is between our home and NYC.But he have to rush me to Ikea before it's closed at 10 pm.My Wilton's class finished at 8.30 pm and by the time I'm back at home it's almost 9 pm.
We only left 30 minutes shopping in Ikea before the store closed.
After 10 pm ,Mishu and me have to wait for Elliot to come to get us at the loading bay in Ikea
While waiting for daddy,Mishu just dance away,the speaker at Ikea have some jazz song going on loudly
I bought some indoor plants,Lazy Susan(of course for my cake deco),rattan baskets,heavy duty hangers,vase,kitchen clothes,pillow case ,stool for Mishu and lastly the BIG "S" hook for my kitchen!!
Look at Mishu perform her dance!!
She having fun,just spinning her body away.
But it's really chilly,we didn't wear any jacket
At least Mishu don't complaint,she entertain herself
