Nine Lives
If I Had 9 Lives to Live Over...
I'd eat more daisies; I'd sharpen my claws
on more antiques; I'd climb lower trees;
I'd steal more earrings; I'd change my mind more often
about going in and out...and in and out;
I'd sing on more fence posts at midnight;
I'd climb more drapes; I'd perfect my bird call;
I'd bring my human more presents;
I'd chase more butterflies;
I'd pounce on more sleeping dogs;
I'd have ten lives... instead of nine.

Dear Friends,

It just breaks my heart everytime I see the Palestinian's children suffering from war.

Did u watch a Palestinian's girl crying silently in TV3 news? Her jaw was shaking. She must be terribly scared. I wish I can hug her. Ya Allah...please protect the children.

Please pray for our brothers and sisters safety in Palestine.

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

Please pass this around!!!

Just noticed that it's been over a month since my last update. Sorry about that ya. Life is busy and very hectic. I am busy for the whole year. Work never seems to end. Despite being busy there is always time to stitch. Here is my magic box *wink*. I do carry it everywhere I go. Normally I put it next to me while I am driving. While waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, I managed to stitch about 10-20 boxes. I quite enjoyed it even though all I did was not much. Sometimes I did stitch beadwork sample too. I just love red lights...ha ha ha.

Here is my status-Nature's Beauty from LHN. Long way to go....BYE!!

Last entry pasal umrah ziarah yer. Sebelum balik singgah Jordan dulu. Sempat melawat sekitar negara Jordan yg about 90-95% adalah gurun. Walaupun gurun tapi tanahnya subur. Banyak pokok buah-buahan. Pokok pisang pun ada.

Nampak tak landscape nya yg bergunung ganang? Cantik sangat.

Ini di Laut Mati. Laut Mati ini adalah kawasan yg terendah di dunia lebih kurang 420m bawah aras laut. Lokasinya adalah sempadan Jordan dan Tebing Barat Israel. Dari sini dah boleh nampak Israel. Tahap kemasinan tasik ini mmg tak terkata. Masyaallah..letak setitik air laut ini pun rasa nak tercabut gigi. Masin sampai rasa pahit teramat sangat. Yang masuk dalam air mmg tak tenggelam..kita berani masuk kaki je. Itu pun berminyak2 bila keluar dari air masin tu. Tapi good xperience lah. Nice nice!! Ikut sejarah, Laut Mati berasal daripada kisah kaum Nabi Lut yg homosexual tu. Kawasan mereka diterbalikkan sebagai balasan melakukan maksiat yg terlampau.

Di Jordan juga pergi melawat makam Nabi Shuib.

My sister melepaskan rindu kat kucing di makam Nabi Shuib.

Salah satu tempat yg harus dilawati ialah Gua Ashabul Kahfi. Kisah 7 pemuda dan seekor anjing yg lari daripada kekejaman Maharaja Rome dan mereka ditidurkan selama 300 tahun.

Peninggalan tengkorak2 yg masih boleh didapati di dlm gua.

2008-10-06T16:32:00.006+08:00

Selain daripada Masjidil Haram, kami dibawa melawat di sekitar bandar Makkah termasuklah tanah halal. Dapatlah tengok Padang Arafah, Mina, Jabal Rahmah, Jabal Thur dan termasuklah pergi ke ladang unta.

Perkhemahan di Mina. Semoga dapatlah tunaikan haji dalam masa terdekat ini. Amin!!!

Selain daripada khemah, kerajaan Arab Saudi dah mula membina apartment bagi menggantikan khemah2 di Mina. Mesti lagi selesa kan :-)

Jabal Thur

Inilah tempat Nabi Muhammad SAW dan Saidina Abu Bakar menyembunyikan diri daripada kaum Quraisy yg hendak membunuh mereka. Di pintu gua inilah burung merpati membuat sarang dan bertelur dan labah2 membuat sarang bagi mengaburi mata kaum Quraisy tersebut.

Ini pulak Jabal Rahmah. Tempat pertemuan semula Adam dan Hawa di dunia setelah dikeluarkan dari syurga. Kat sini katanya sangat mustajab doa untuk mendapatkan jodoh. Heh heh heh. Mesti doa kat sini...moga jodoh berkekalan hingga ke syurga.

Ini pulak ladang unta. Dapat la minum susu unta fresh dari ladang kat sini. Rasa sedap mcm susu kotak tu je. 1 botol 5 rial. Ada bawak balik juga..duk simpan sejuk beku lagi. Comel betul unta ni. Ada sekor tu tgn pegnant. Takut nak pegang..kih kih kih

Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir Batin.

Kali ini bukan entry hari raya. Masih lagi kisah ziarah umrah yg belum habis cerita.

Masjid An-Nabawi di Madinah pada waktu malam. Cuaca adalah kombinasi panas, kering tetapi berangin. Berangin tu membawa angin panas. Madinah lebih panas dari Makkah sbb faktor geografi yg jauh dari laut. Oleh sebab itu setiap kali nak p masjid, mesti nak pakai spek hitam dan tutup hidung dan mulut. Masa ini baru tau kenapa derang pakai purdah kat sini :-) Sungguh selesa kalau dapat tutup muka. Undang2 di Masjid An-Nabawi sangat ketat. Tiap2 kali nak masuk masjid mesti kena periksa dgn polis wanita disetiap pintu. Kamera dan handphone tidak dibenarkan sama sekali. Sayang sekali tak dpt nak record laungan azan yg sangattttt merdu di masjid ini.

Masjid An-Nabawi ini adalah masjid nabi di mana makam Nabi Muhammad SAW berada di dalamnya. Begitu juga dgn Raudhah iaitu taman syurga. Bagi kaum wanita, agak sukar hendak memasuki kawasan makam nabi dan raudhah kerana hanya boleh masuk pada waktu tertentu sahaja dan terpaksa berebut2 dgn jemaah wanita lain dari seluruh dunia yg majoritinya berbadan besar. Alhamdulillah, dgn izin dan pertolongan Allah SWT dapat juga merasa solat sunat dan hajat di saf hadapan di dalam raudhah. Pahala solat di dlm masjid ini adalah 1000x ganda drp masjid biasa. Seronokkan!!!

Kelab bunga pepel. Mak paksa pakai bunga ini dibelakang kepala agar mudah nak cari dicelah ramai manusia. Ramai pulak suka usik-usik bunga ni...ish ish ish!!!

Ini pula Masjid Quba'. Masjid yg dikasihi oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW di mana baginda sering bersolat di dalamnya.

Ini pula bersiap2 menuju ke Makkah setelah selesai solat Jumaat. 1st time seumur hidup merasa solat Jumaat selain daripada solat jenazah hampir setiap kali dilakukan selepas solat wajib di masjid.

Tentang foods pulak yer. Makanan yg hotel sediakan mmg OK sebab dedicated untuk jemaah Malaysia, so masakan pun ala-ala melayu indon lah. Makanan luar memang banyak seperti roti, kebab, nasi beriani gam dan sebagainya. Tetapi selera selalu terbantut sebab masin. Diorang ni kuat masin kot especially kat Jordan. Jom tengok gambar kat bawah ni

Ini breakfast kat Jordan. Nampak macam2 sedap tapi bila masuk mulut je..perghhh punya la masin. Agaknya derang pakai garam dari laut mati tu kot. Akhirnya makan telur rebus dan roti sahaja

Ini pulak kebab beli kat Madinah. Vege banyak. Cik kak Fatin tu yg nak makan kebab sangat. Tak serupa langsung dengan kebab kat pasar malam malaysia ni. Mayonis n sos cili pun tak ada.

Potong stim betul tawww!!!

Nampak sedap kan nasik ni. Ini makan kat Restoran Yaman on the way nak ke Madinah n Makkah. Nasi dan lauk bubuh dalam dulang dan makan ramai2. Lauk ayam dan ikan goreng dan cili besar. Ada berani ka nak gigit itu cili? Sedap..tapi kalau ada dalca ke..kari ke..lagi siokkk.

Ini plak mcm capati tampal telur. Beli masa lepas habis saei. Ye la kan..nafsu nak makan melonjak2 sebab penat. Macam biasa la..masin jugak ada!!!

Ini pulak masa bukak puasa dalam flight Thai Airways. Siap ada label halal. Menunya ialah kari kambing, udang stim dgn asparagus, sayur, roti dan puding.

Assalamualaikum!!

Jom cerita-ceriti sikit pasal ziarah umrah buat pertama kali ini.

Menggunakan khidmat Andalusia di Taman Maluri. Service bagus. Ustaz Kamaruddin bawa buat umrah setiap hari semasa di Makkah termasuklah buat Qiamullail di depan kaabah. Perjalanan bermula di KLIA-Transit Bangkok-Jordan-Jeddah. Dari Jeddah terus ke Madinah naik bas lebih kurang 5 jam. Jauh jugak dari Jeddah tu..lebih 400km. Paling tak suka masa kena lalu immigration kat Bangkok. Habis selongkar isi beg. Nasib tak baik agaknya kena dgn 1-2 petugas yg agak biadap juga. Membebel dalam bahasa ibunda mereka. Kalu berani kan..cuba speak in English la kan, barulah boleh balas balik. Masa tu dah cakap dgn my sister, jgn harap lepas ni nak p Bangkok. He he he..sabar sabar..p umrah kena sabar banyak2. Kalau bandingkan dgn immigration kat KLIA, punya la baik org Malaysia ni.

JORDAN. Kenapa p Jordan ye? Owhh sebab mmg ambik pakej melawat Jordan. Saja je la jalan-jalan ambik kesempatan. Flight ke Jordan tu sangatlah lama lebih kurang 9 jam rasanya. Hujan lebat..turbulance. Tapi sbb dah ngantuk...bantai tido je larrr.

Kali ni nak tunjuk kisah buah-buahan yg menarik yg dijumpai sepanjang perjalanan ziarah.

Semasa di Madinah, kami dibawa ke ladang kurma. Kebetulan sebelum puasa tu mmg musim kurma masak. Boleh makan kurma free masa dalam kedai ni. Sedap kurma. Tak percaya..cuba tengok gambar kat bawah ni.

Ini pokok kurma ye. Bukannya kelapa sawit. Ini lah buah kurma yg dah masak dan siap sedia untuk di makan. Best kan!!
Ini pulak buah kurma muda. Rasanya kelat.

Semasa di Jordan, berpeluang makan buah TIN. Kat bawah ni ada gambarnya. My sister, Fatin Adawiah tgh posing dgn buah TIN

Nak tgk lagi clear...

Inilah rupa buah TIN bahagian dalam. Ngeri gak bila tgk lama2. Ala-ala rupa alien pun ada. Rasa buah ini sangatlah sedap dan manis.

Ini pulak buah Zaitun masih muda belia. Jordan banyak buah zaitun. Tapi sayangnya belum musim buahnya masak.

Note: Photo menggunakan kamera handphone sahaja. Tak berani bawa masuk kamera sbb kadang2 polis check beg. Gambar2 lain akan diupload later yer. Tayang the most important photo dulu.

Lepas tu cari makanan ruji untuk breakfast for both of us. Punya la hepi sbb setelah 2 minggu tak ada jagung...akhirnya muncul jugak jagung yg ditunggu. So, En.Uncle dah memborong se adanya....dia tinggalkan 2 ketul je kat rak takut ada org lain kempunan plak..heh he he

FOLLOW YOUR HEART-Andrew Matthews

I bought a book today. This book is about finding purpose in your life and work..

My big dilemma now is WORK...heh heh heh..saja je cari dilemma.

I have read the first chapter, so I just want to share some interesting points with all my friends

#The only time most of us ever learn anything is when we get hit over the back of head. Why! Because it's easier NOT TO CHANGE

#We are not here to be punished. We are here to be educated. Act as if every event has a purpose and your life will have purpose

#Every person who walks into your life ia a teacher. Even if they drive you nuts, they teach you because they show you where your limits are. Just because people are your teachers doesn't mean you have to like them

#Just because you're ready for information doesn't mean everyone else is ready

#If people aren't asking you, they usually don't want the information---long time ago my hubby told me this!!!!

By the time I finished my snowflake "The 6th Day of December", Kak Salmi asked me about "The 10th Day of December". So, I just grabbed my shuttles n wound up the threads.

I tatted this snowflake while traveling from KL-Raub-Gua Musang-Setiu. Believe me..it was the best way to stay awake and alert (good for me as a co-driver yg kena monitor lori balak). It took me nearly 1 hour to figure out how to do the split ring because I forgot to bring my tatting notes. I did called Kak Salmi for helpssss.. S.O.S...bantuan please :-)

Manage to stitch this simple pattern as a token of friendship to a very kind hearted friend. Found this lovely chart inside kak Salmi's magazine. TQ kak Salmi.

Bought a ready made frame and turqouise border. Framed but a bit 'cacat' because of the glue.

2008-03-28T12:09:00.005+08:00

This pattern is very similar to the previous snowflakes-the 3rd Day of December. But this time instead of using 2 shuttles, I tried to make it easier by using 1 shuttle and 1 ball only. I was very lazy last nite (or morning??), so I don't want to waste my energy (12.30am-my energy level left only 1/2 bar) to wind threads on 2 shuttles.

Batik Painting at Langkawi

I did joined the batik painting class when I was in Langkawi last weekend. It took me about an hour to complete my masterpiece (elehhleleh). I wish I could paint moreeee...

2008-03-12T10:52:00.007+08:00

This is an improvised version of Snow Flakes: The 5th of December. Can U spot the differences?

Look at the picots with 4 joins and also the chains. I use the technique from this link.

http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes2/shtljoin.jpg

Please read it because I found that this method is very helpful when comes for joins in a chain. It makes your chain's join looks better and not half-twisted. (Sorry I am bad in explaining things but I think U will understand it by looking and comparing at the pictures)

Millions Thank You to Mama "D" for helping me to figure out my mistakes, but I still need to improve the picot's join..nampak semak daaaa.

For Kak Rose-Let me explain apa yg me tau ye. He he he..

False Chain and False Picot: Normally we apply this technique when we want to go to the next row without cutting the thread. Refer to the photo.

Inner Round: Ring1-Chain1-Ring2-Chain2-Ring3-Chain3-Ring4-Chain4-Ring5-Chain5-Ring6-Chain6{1/2 chain without picot-jump and lock at Ring1-start reverse DS until we meet the previous 1/2 chain http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes/gssplitchain.html }-False picot{hold both thread from shuttle n ball-decide your picot size-do 1st half DS with NO flip and 2nd half DS with flip}

Boleh paham ke? Heh heh heh. Mama "D" pls correct me if I am wrong OK.

Arghhhh...this pattern looks simple but it made my head spin. Sakit kepalaaaaa. The good thing is I managed to practice "False Chain" n "False Picot" here. Yearghhh..a small achievement brings a smile to my face (siok sendiri la maksudnya).

I manage to do the flippin' knot, ring, picot and chain consistently now but I still did not satisfied with the outcome. Something seems not right..hmmm.
About this doily, I tatted using 1 shuttle n 1 ball because I still do not know how to tat with 2 shuttles. Yes, that is my homework.Tat with 2 shuttles, learn about false chain and false picot.

Not my fault kan...he he he (sape nak beli xs stashes lagi..dont forget to count me in ok!!)

Puan PO: Me a.k.a msdnoraini a.k.a ain

For my xs buddies, as we know..bookmark exchange just around the corner (waaaa..cube tak siap lagi ni). As Puan PO, I need to 'tunjuk pandai' sikit la *laugh* by showing uols how to do the bookmark finishing using lace. I think there are several ways to do it but this is my version lah. Hope this will give uols some ideas.

Tutoial-Bookmark Exchange

Finishing using Lace

[1]-Lace dilipat 2. Pilih lace yg lembut supaya mudah dilipat.

[2]-1 bahagian di tarik ke atas membentuk 90 darjah. Iron utk mendapat kesan lipatan.

[3]-Jahit sepanjang garisan merah.

[4]-Ulang lipatan yg sama untuk 3 penjuru lagi. Sebenarnya lace boleh terus dijahit ke atas kain, tetapi Puan PO akan jahit kemudian bagi menunjukkan dgn jelas bentuk lace yg dilipat 4 penjuru.

[5]-Penjuru terakhir.

[6]-Gunting lebihan lace

[7]-Jahit sambungan lace-guna jahitan tgn pun boleh.

[8]-Pandangan belakang lace.

[9]-Cantum lace dan kain menggunakan kaedah sembat. Cara lain ialah mengunakan mesin jahit atau jahitan xs 'xxxxxxxx'

[10] Ribbon dilekat secara V

[11]-Hiaskan dengan button, bunga lace dan lain-lain mengikut kreativiti.

[11] Here u go..[buttons tu posing je, saja nak enterframe]

Notes: 1-Sila letak kertas gam (jika mahu) sebelum jahit ribbon n button.
