Ahhh...I am cONfused!!

Ahhh... i am confused. Should i write about my cluttered office room?

Ahhh... i am confused. Should i write about my unfinished wall doodle?


Ahhh... i am confused. Should i write about my students final rattan projects?


Ahhh... i am confused. Should i write about my awesome restnrileks online friends?


Anyway, i dont know how some people have the energy to be constantly online. Oh Gosh! I envy them you know. Always i hear this "tweet tweet tweet" sounds which later will be followed by some kind of promotional text. Yet, here i am.. crawling.. at an exceptional superspeed (of course, comparing to a turtle that is.. :D ) trying to jugle my daily dose of web surfing, forum reading, blog hoping, and entrecard dropping. Plus that chopping thing game (FCC) which i always loose. Haha. Speaking of entrecard, i think i wont be able to drop like 150.. err no.. 100.. err wait 50 droppings per day. Dont get me wrong, i love entrecard but i just dont have the energy to do just that anymore. But for sure, i will still hop hop hippity hop on certain days. I am thinking too of dropping few widgets like My Awesome Readers (My BlogLog) and Blog Malaysia Directory. What do you think? Should I? Then there is this Blog Rolling which seems not to function properly. I cant see my "Kaching" (which tell me or my readers that a blog has been updated) and i wonder why. Oh.. need to do some trimmings on the list too. Oucchhh! But dont you worry, restnrileks beloved friends are safe n sound. Whoaho!! and new ones too. Yippie!!

On a second note, the weather was awesome in the late afternoon. Awesome as not in a clear bright sunny sky. Hoho!! It was raining, loud cracking thunderous sound with dark murky clouds above us . The wind was exceptionally strong. I did take some shots, somehow, i left them in my office desktop. Darn it Rizal!! We experienced couple short bursts of power failures. Shhzzttt buzzzz!! buzzz!! Lights went on and off. The whole office corridors were filled with stingging sounds of back up powers. Eeeeettt!!! Eeooottt!! eeetttt!! eooottt!! Winds were woooinggg outside my window. Out of boredom, i decided to snap some pictures. And in one shot, here what i ve found. Showed to couple of my colleagues. Eerrieeee!! It could be lights n pixels playing tricks on my mind. But knowing IKN with couple of its ghostly stories, ahaaaa, it could be the real thing too. Nevertheless, i am not saying it is real or it is not. All i am showing is just a pix. lol.




Anyway, happy blogging, have a great day everyday ya.

Sketch Book and Rattan Interactive.


I am a sucker for Books on Sketches. I have, three of them, and hopefully, my collection will grow in the future. I love sketches. They are reflections of the designers' thoughts, ideas, problem-solving strategies and visions. Flipping thru one's sketch book, page by page, always gives me a sense of joy. They do vary according to style and purposes; those of the illustrators are always different from ours as product designers. I have to admit, though i am more inclined to clean cut, structural types of sketches, i also like to learn those loose, open wide, jagged n doodling types of sketches. Perhaps, by combining both, i can make my style, even more.... mmmm.. alluring.. haha. wicked!!




One a not-so-serious note, on April, we , had a visit from Allice Smith School. It was a 3-day-rattan-interactive visit of 103 students. They came in three groups of 44-44-15, and parents were there too. They did visit the textile department and try some of the traditional tools. These children were having fun, "spindle the web" which reminds me of "Rapunzel, rapunzel let down your hair.." lol. As interactive, each student did a small basket (check out the "basket" spelling in the pix. Cute :) ) and rattan butterflies. As these were kindergarten children, we had earlier prepared the based. They only needed to do simple weaving, nevertheless, we had a blast of time. Cant say that we were not having hiccups in preparing and conducting the interactive, (especially my staffs kegabraan nak kena deal ngan oghang puteh.. lol), but these were minor hiccups. Even parents joined and made rattan butterflies too. All of us had fun. I like the fact that they are exposing children at young age to the world of Crafts. Great!! I wish more Malaysian schools would follow such step.

Oh.. they loved the muffin.. and i loved em too. lol.

Anyway, have fun and have a great weekend. :)
