Canvas Painting

The wonderful thing about not having a nine to five job is that I get to do anything I want during a weekday. I met a friend for lunch at the mall today and checked out my favourite art shop after that.

Lo and behold, there were stacks of white canvases in different shapes... just waiting to be painted on. I couldn't resist the temptation of creating my own masterpiece and bought a square canvas and a set of acrylic paint.

Upon arriving home, I excitedly got my palette, brushes, water and rag cloth ready and started painting my classic 'heart'. The 'heart' was created in Adobe Illustrator previously, and not on canvas yet.

So I started sketching... and painting. 4 hours later, I was done. Here's my 'heart' on canvas.

Nursery Visit

Stephanie and I went plant shopping in Sungai Buloh a few days ago. Steph's the perfect person to go nursery hopping with as she knows everything you need to know about plants! Do check out her very interesting blog here and nursery directory here.

Thanks to Steph's advice, I managed to choose a few hardy plants that won't wither so easily.

We also took lots of pretty pictures... here are some of them.

Holiday Home Updates

It's been nearly a year since we started Holiday Home Malaysia. I'm really glad we started this and we've had guests from UK, USA, Russia, Australia, Russia, Canada, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore and of course Malaysia so far.

There have been many memorable guests, such as a Russian family whom we communicated with via email even after they arrived because we couldn't understand each other verbally and so needed the Russian - English translator on the internet.

I really thank God because He has blessed and guided us tremendously through this new endeavour and it has been an eye-opening and enjoyable experience for us.

Thoo and I are constantly thinking of how we can improve the place and feedback from our guests have been really helpful. Recently, we've added new bedlinen, DVDs, kitchen utensils, plants, a clothes rack and more cushions.

Here are the latest pictures.
