Assalamualaikum WRB

Hadirin dan Hadirat Yang Di hormati sekalian,

Berakit-rakit ke tepian

Saya masih belum lupa cara jahitan

Buah cempedak di luar pagar

Buah durian di dalam pagar

Kalau selama ini anda tak sabar

Saya juga tidak sabar.

 Kalau ada sumur di ladang

Alhamdulillah umur saya masih panjang

Gendang gendut tali kecapi

kalau meluat jangan sampai benci

Sorong papan tarik papan

Saya dah jahit sampai lapan

tuai padi antara masak

saya memang tak pandai masak

(haishhh cannot stop lah pula berpantun nih)

(ok last last)

Lagikan Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah

Apa lagi saya yang bukan hantu 

Sekian.

Wassalam

Versatile Blogger Award - 7 Things About Me

Because I was late in accepting the award from Kak Dee, I cant find any more Bloggers to extend this award to. The recipients have grabbed almost everybody I know already .......

But here are the seven things about me:-


1. I dont like reading manuals , never really have patience for it. Only when things go wrong with the device would I then reach for the manual.


2. I am a very optimistic person. I have a reputation among friends that I boost their confidence much more than theyre capable of. I never meant to jack them up, but I truly believe that theres nothing in this world you can't achieve or do if you ve set your mind to it.


3. I am also very impulsive, there are a few instances where I would just jump into a river or stream or even a pond just because I can't resist the temptation to swim. Yes, I had jumped with my full clothes on.


4. "Jill of Many Trades; Master of None" describes me perfectly, because I have difficulty focusing on the current interest for too long and I will soon move on to other activities, but most of my pursuits will come and go round and round in a circle


5. My mind has its own wings and works wonders that I cant control it most of the times. It is easily distracted too. I may seem to be listening to you talking about your latest patchwork when my mind is actually floating somewhere in Mercury land. Please help bring me back to earth occasionally when talking to me.


6. When I was small I "swam" with my hands and feet flapping on my grandmother's carpet, imagining it to be the sea or the river. And dont ask me why I decided to put my cute underwear on my head as “goggles” during the "swim".


7. I can listen to people and help them solve their problems or 'emotional issues'. I put different perspective to their problems and make them see things differently from other angles.

Now you know why I always have trouble in my sewing ......

... best time to be creative is when you re sad ...

I bought the bears from Anita many a month ago.

my cousin said my living room now looks like a a showroom of cushions

the frills are not really perfect

I would definitely make them better the next time

InsyaAllah

the design is from my doodling

I have a drawing block on my table at the office

whenever I talked on the phone my hand would always be drawing something

its also convenient to have the block to take notes instead of jotting them in pieces of paper

which later would be lost

sorry if i havent been visiting your blogs soon enough

I also have an award due from Kak Dee

please bear with me ya

Rahmatilah Tok, Ya Allah

Walaupun di saat-saat akhir di atas katil, Tok tidak lagi boleh bergerak bebas, aku pastikan baju, kain batik, sarung bantal sarung tilam semuanya yang kemas dan cantik. Tok sukakan yang cantik. Hatta ketika mandikan jenazah, tuala yang digunakan putih bersih , kain batik panjang juga adalah buatan jawa yang lama Tok simpan. Telekung terakhir yang dipakaikan ke tubuh Tok adalah telekung mahal dan cantik milik mak. Aku mengendalikan jenazah Tok dari awal hingga akhir walaupun gagal berada di samping Tok ketika dia meghembuskan nafas akhirnya. Apabila sampai sebaik sahaja mendapat berita, berulang kali aku beritahu Tok:-

“Ann dah sampai Tok”.

“Maafkan Ann Tok, Ann terlambat ...”.

Sakitnya terasa kehilangan seorang yang menjadikan aku adalah aku hari ini. Yang paling memanjakan aku lebih dari yang aku perlukan. Kasih melimpah yang tak bertepi. Memimpin tangan aku sedari kecil untuk mengenalkan aku dengan “khaliq” dan menjadikan bacaan Quran aku lancar dan khatam awal. Mengajar aku segala jenis doa. Yang membela aku ketika aku terasing, mendakap aku rapat ketika aku berduka. Kasih sayangnya akan sentiasa mengalir dalam diri ini, selalu.

Sejuk terasa dahi Tok tiap kali aku mengucupnya dari awal aku sampai di tepi jasadnya yang kaku hinggalah kucupan terakhir aku berbisik pada Tok

“Kita jumpa lagi di sana nanti Tok”

....... Masih Tak Pandai Binding

Quilters tegar harus tahu membuat binding

apalah erti hidup sebagai penjahit

jika tidak tahu membuat perkara paling asas itu

rasa cacat

rasa kurang harga diri

Rasa malu kadang

namun hidup harus diteruskan

ketidakmampuan bukan halangan

bukan alasan

untuk tidak mahu berterusan dengan jahitan

Hajat hati nak buat mcm kat bawah ni :

apakan daya

dah la binding pun tak terrer

applique macam penjahit normal yang kemas dan cantik pun tak pandai

ditambah dengan kesabaran yang sangat tipis

buat sarung kusyen ja lah tak habis-habis

;-)

buat Yoon yang cakap nak gambar dekat

:-)

Buat Kak Dee:-

Next entry insyaAllah Ann sahut Award Kak Dee

Have a nice weekend semua !
