living live in a zen way...

Yes we are in the month of July, and yes we only have 5 months to complete the whole year of 2012, and yes July is the month where you will find the great "sales" from the malls, and that you cannot resist but to pull  out your purse and spend to your last bill that you have, but regret that what you have bought was not what you needed but because of the impulsive urge that dictated you to do so...
Have we ever come to realize that we have more than what we need????be it clothing, accessories, shoes, video games, foods, etc.  All these are created from our insatiable need to have and to want, unaware that we will never ever be able to fill up that craving no matter how much we consume!!!!!!
Well, I guess it is time to sit down and start to give ourselves a stop to all these unhealthy habits and begin to live a responsible life not just for us but for the whole world!!!
I came a across a blog written by Leo Babauta (http://zenhabits.net/start/), perhaps the title have given you a clue...Yes, by adopting the zen's habits in your daily life, that's it.  His writing is very simple and straightforward, you don't have to have a great knowledge about zen but starts to have an idea and who knows, maybe you like his ideas and would like to give it try...I hope you will drop by to his blog and I wish you a happy writing...:D

floral bag

 


Final I've finished sewing another patchwork floral bag and it is on sale on my Dawanda's shop.  The pattern of this floral patchwork bag is similar to the previous floral bag, except that I've added a red stripy vintage fabric to it.  I am quite happy how it turned out, this bag has the advantage of being reversible, so you can either use the patchwork side or the floral and plain antique rose of the reverse.   Please check it out, thanks.

Nasi lemak




After learning how to prepare this special "sambal", the sour, sweet and spicy sauce, from my mom, I had put myself in real action and cooked this wonderful dish for me and Mr. D....It's a dish where you can eat in the streets in Malaysia.  The sauce is the main ingredient in this plate.  Anchovies, cucumber, egg, and coconut rice will complete this plate.....

patch-work bags










Lately I have been doing some patch work bags, it's my very first attempt to do it.  Apart from the normal pocket, a zippered pocket is also attached on each of the bag.
