It feels as if it was 4 years ago in 2005 when a pregnant cat came to my house . She was followed by a fat male cat. Now Tompok the pregnant cat comes to ask for food. I know she would stay in the house if she is allowed to. She is followed by a large male cat exactly like Awang . The fat cat I mentioned. The cat on the Whiskas box. Cats like this particular breed often comes to my house.I felt sad whenever I think of Awang. He was a fat cat when he comes to my house and when he was sent to the SPCA he was very sick. I felt helpless in this situation. I love cats but then I cannot take care of them so it is not good at all for the cat.
I have seen a book on cat in the book store. I have also found some new website from Australia , New Direction Australia , NDA for short. It sells a lot of things especially ingredients to make one's own skin care. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia also has , it's own training center for the interested public on how to make natural skincare the website is : www.cepp.utm.my/ . It will cost about RM 550 to RM 1800 for the short course.
My favourite things to serve is lifestyle, recipe , home made skin care ingredients and recipe and craft like sewing etc. Now I am into Romantic homes . I don't really like all white or pink walls. It is too sweet for me but I do love all white bed linen.

MLM

I have joined a MLM company. They have a website so I can advertise my own website and recruit other members. My mother had started her career in direct selling back in 1977. For the past 32 years she had joined a lot of direct selling companies. Now it is the Multi Level Marketing. At first I did not want to join but since I am going to stay home and not find work , I think I would give it a try. There is no harm in trying.
Of late I have been thinking about being successful. I am a shy person, how well will I do in telling people about this company. The company is Bumiputera owned, with a lot of health food. I will have to start somewhere. My husband is at work as always. My mother has a lot of energy , for a woman of 65 years. I think it is the health food that she takes. I think it is better to eat any health food to prevent major illness . Prevention is better than cure. I will have to make a time table for the house work I intend to do.

Face Cream

I made a face cream from scratch today. Hooray !!! I have been wanting to make it for a long time. So at last . I used the ingredients from Kathy Keville's book. The first book I bought on aromatherapy. I followed the recipe to the letter because I have never made a cream before. I used extra virgin olive oil because I don't have almond oil. Using 1 cup of oil, 1 cup of distilled water and 3 tsp of shaved bees wax. Years ago , I thought it would be difficult but it was not so bad after all. The water was warm enough. I melted the bee's wax in the oil on top of boiling water. I had warmed the distilled water before. When the wax had melted in the oil, it took about 10 minutes to cool off.

The blender was on the highest speed . The process was very quick. It does make nice thick cream but it had been such a long time to able to make the cream. I thought I would never make it.

Well so much so . The cream is yellow colour . It smell of olive oil and I have yet to add any essential oil. For the 1 cup of oil and 1 cup of water , I got 4 small containers of face cream. I have put the three in the refrigerator and one in the room. I probably buy a bigger container and make a body cream with it. Ylang -ylang , geranium and orange essential oil would be lovely to add to both face and body cream. The last time I surf the net, Mustika Ratu with it's Taman Sari Spa has some very nice essential oil, I'd like the Tuberose one.
I had fried fish and made a spinach dish for my father and my brother . I am not adventurous in preparing lunch or dinner for my family because I am not very good at it. My mother does it better. I have seen a new dish named "Spanakopita" or spinach pie. It looks simple with spinach feta cheese and phyllo pastry. I love cheese. I would like to try this dish because it looks filling and there is spinach. I think I have tried this dish or something like this not long ago. I remembered my youngest brother asking me what is this ? So, maybe I will try it again .

Tompok

Tompok ,the friendly cat is here asking for food. She is pregnant. My father and brother had gone to the night market to buy dinner. My mother is in Penang visiting my youngest sister. She said she was very tired . She too, is in her hometown Sik , Kedah to visit her father .
I had bought the bee's wax . At long last , I have the elusive bee's wax. The person from bahterayubalam had been kind enough to send to the house. It cost me RM 48.00 for 800 gram. I had weighed the wax.
Tompok the pregnant cat is asking for more food. She will give birth soon. I hope she gives birth at home but it will be a problem since I cannot take care of them. I have been watching Malay dramas , travel channel and Asian food channel all this while.
On Friday I went to One Utama , which is nearby. My mother dropped me off before she went to her weekly Tupperware meeting. I went to the Cold Storage, Jaya Jusco , an organic store at the new wing to see Avalon products. I also browse the books at MPH and Popular . I saw two Malay books on knitting and crochet. I had seen the books while searching for knitting on Net.
I have bought a crochet hook and a yarn. Not that I know how to crochet. My mother knows how to do both , knitting and crochet. I tried to learn from the You Tube channel but somehow I could not do it . Not even the slip knot. So, I think I 'd better buy a book. I will buy the Jarum Kait Satu book before I buy other books on crochet because I do not want to get discouraged.
My sister is going to Dubai in September.   My dream is to visit London.

Crochet

I have been browsing about life as a housewife. My baby niece is at home. She is about 8 months old. I have been embroidering daily. I just made a flower a day. I have been thinking about doing something else. Ribbon embroidery is beautiful. I thought about trying either crochet or knitting.
My parents told me to stick to one thing at a time , and to finish all the thread I have been buying. I think I will try crochet. The shop nearby sells a lot of sewing stuff. I saw a lot of of knitting and crocheting yarn. It looks simple enough but I do not know. I tried to learn crochet back when I was in standard six. That was long ago.
The cat which come to my house , comes every day at about 6- 7 pm. I think cats always come to the house this hour. Last time a cat called Awang also use to come to the house . Poor cat , he became so sick. The female cat who is a stray cat is pregnant. Cats are very clever, they knew where to find people who loves them. I did not want to buy any cats because I know there will always be some cats which will come to the house.
My day as a housewife starts very late. I have been thinking of scrubbing the toilet floor.
