For those who use Facebook (FB), you will aware about Facebook Cover. It's the header of our FB account. Usually people will upload/choose their picture from FB and aligned it accordingly to the Facebook Cover spec size.

Decorating my iPhone Case with MT

Hi,

Currently I'm a little bit obsessed with MT and always thinking so hard on how to use it. So this time, I'm decoring my iPhone 4 case with my own MT :)

Image edited with Picasa and PicMonkey

Horay.. I'm not sure this is related or not but I successfully transform my messy-storing-room to a more tidy room. This is the room that I stored all my books and crafting tools and materials. And it's messy! After a year, my books become yellowish and I think that I shall unpack it all. I don't have a bookshelf yet. Thus I used three boxes and arrange it to look like a horizontal book shelf. :) It's look like I'm having a picnic. I need to find a center flower for the indoor picnic sheet asap. :) Love it!

iPhone App: Goodreads

Hi,

Have you heard about Goodreads? Well, if you love books you may notice about this social books group. I've heard about it but never care to join the services. Somehow today I register and happily engaged with Goodread.

Official website: http://www.goodreads.com/
App for iPhone (free): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodreads/id355833469?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D6

With Goodreads, you can add books, reviews, and update your reading progress. Apart from that, you can add best quote from your reading. What best is that we can choose a lot of publication for every book we add (as long as there is any other member add the publication book).

Like other social website, you can add profile picture, add friend, follow other members, feeds of your following and friends and so on.

This is how it's look in our profile.

From our collections, the website can recommend suitable books for us. Higher recommendation from the website to me according my registered books are Classics, Crime and Fiction & Fantasy. After registering all my books then I realised that I have read so many classic books. Well actually, it's my current obsession especially with Sherlock Holmes series.

Do you wonder how I manage to add most of our book in a day? Because the app allow us to add book by scanning the bar code. Once scanned, the app will search the correct book and we can add it to our account. How fantastic is that! :)

Anyway, if you like to follow or add me as friend, just click at 'Currently Reading Book' at bottom-right of this blog. It will bring you to my account.

Sharing is caring :)

Just discovered that Goodreads too has e-book for classic collection and it's free :)

Modern Baju Kurung with Ruffles

Hi,

As per my previous (long time ago) here, I really want to add ruffles to my baju kurung.

Ruffles Skirt Tutorial here

As mentioned in the same posting, I'm really frustrated since the appointed tailor said it was impossible to do the ruffles and he said that it does not suitable for baju kurung. But tadaaaaaaaaaaaa.... I found a tailor who used to sew a wedding dress and she said that the design was totally gorgeous.

Even, her neighbors said it was so cute and made a request to sew the same baju kurung for them.

Ps: For those who wanted to do this ruffles too, please ensure your baju kurung top is shorter i.e. above the knee. So that you will look taller. FYI, when we add the ruffles horizontally, it will make you look shorter than your actual height. And of course it will make you look fatter. :) So, beware of the ruffles effect.

I'm requesting for a cotton button from the same fabric to make it more fancy

This picture was taken during my sister-in-law wedding :)

Anyway, if you want the same design, just print images from this posting and bring it over to your tailor. It's easy to tell them with pictures. If you have made it, share it here :)
