Fresh Flower Arrangement

Creating a fresh flower arrangement can be a fun and rewarding activity. Here are some general steps to guide you through the process:

1. Your Flowers: Select a variety of flowers in different colors, shapes, and sizes. Consider using a mix of focal flowers (larger blooms), filler flowers (smaller blooms or greenery), and accent flowers (unique or standout blooms).

2. Prepare Your Vase: Clean your vase thoroughly and fill it with water mixed with floral preservatives to help extend the life of your arrangement.

3. Trim the Stems: Use sharp scissors or garden shears to trim about 1-2 inches off the bottom of each stem at an angle. This allows for better water absorption.

4. Arrange Focal Flowers First: Start by placing your focal flowers into the vase, positioning them at varying heights and angles to create depth and interest.

5. Add Filler Flowers: Next, add filler flowers between the focal blooms to add fullness and texture to your arrangement.

6. Include Accent Flowers: Integrate accent flowers sparingly throughout the arrangement, strategically placing them where they will draw attention.

7. Check for Balance: Step back occasionally as you work on your arrangement to ensure that it looks balanced from all sides.

8. Fill in Gaps with Greenery: Use greenery such as eucalyptus or fern fronds around the edges of vase to cover any visible stems and create an attractive backdrop for your bouquet.

9. Adjust as Needed: Once you’ve assembled all of your elements, make any final adjustments by rearranging individual stems until you are satisfied with how everything looks together.

10. Display Your Creation: Place your completed flower arrangement in a spot where it can be appreciated – whether that’s on a dining table, mantlepiece, or elsewhere in your home!

These steps provide just one approach; feel free to experiment and let your creativity guide you as you arrange fresh flowers!

I was in the navy ( Malay Section of the British Royal Navy ). We sailed in HMS Scorpion ( ABDUL RAHMAN B.Y. A.B. MN 713 (Malay Section) SCORPION ) and sailed the South China Sea to the Borneo and surrounding areas. I was handling the telegraph machine, that was my job. It was the during the World War II. ( The Japanese started to raid South East Asia December 1941 thru Songkla and Patani Siam, then Thailand, followed by Malaya thru Kota Bharu. From January to February 1942, heavy war between the Japanese and British over Singapore resulting in the British surrender. ) Then our ship was bombed by the Japanese . That caused a large hole on the ship and ship began to capsize. I was with two other ship personnel - Chinese. They were cooks. We jumped ship, and swam. ( 13/02/42 M.P.K. SHIP LOSS ) Then we made it into a sampan and got away . We made it to Padang of Sumatera. Then the Japanese found us and we were captured. ( True account of HMS Scorpion is that it was attacked by Japanes...

Did I tell you that I've climb Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan? Well that story some other time. Well! Fantastic! You'd think. This is one well rounded woman ha! But my glucose level was 7.3, that makes me a pre-diabetic person. What was that? Pre-diabetic? Well that means in Malay "disyaki kencing manis." That was in November last year. Last Monday I was CONFIRMED with diabetes (kencing manis.) Doktor kata penyakit kencing manis ni tiada ubat. Ia cuma boleh dikawal. Kene kurangkan berat badan, no sugar, no susu pekat, no rambutan, no pisang, makan nasi satu cawan je, ambik sayur and ulam banyak2. Sedih. So skrang doktor start medication utk kawal gula lah.

Fix my Jeep

Image
Where to start with this old '96 Jeep of mine. Must have been 5 years now since we last used it. (Pic is taken during the good old times, probably in '98! From left: Ajim 4 now 15, Emi & Liyana) A lot of mishaps with this Jeep, ever since we first bought it. A week after taking it from the dealer, I took it to KL with my kids and maid. We had our first break down, at Karak, a brand new car, rosak tepi jalan, with kids in it... what a blow that was. We had it towed to KL and fixed a leaking clutch fluid tube, purgh. The wear and tear is expensive for this Jeep. One by one the sensors failed on us! They must have been substandard, locally assembled lah kan. Then a major part rosak and not available locally. Tah macam mane, one workshop managed to fix it. But then other problems arise and we didn't use it for quite a white. Then we bought a Wira hatchback and I got to use a company car. So we gave the Jeep a rest. Just too long. It ended up at a garbage dump hauled there...
