DIY Baby Pillows - Completed

-
Finally, I've completed my DIY pillows for little girl!! Actually I'm trying to save up some money, by making my own baby pillow instead of buy them in the market. Let me see, I've made 4 bolsters, 2 head pillow, 2 small pillows and 1 super long bolster.

The cost of materials is around RM12 for the cottons, RM20-30 for the clothings. The pillow casing is more expensive because it is made of soft materials.

DIY Pillows - priceless

Materials for the pillow casing

And my next DIY would be - blanket. But then, I'm getting lazier now. How? This really challenge my patience once again. There's an old beliefs that we must cover babies with blanket with the 'boxes' design. This is to prevent some unwanted 'spirits' to disturb the baby. This spirits will count the boxes until morning, instead of disturbing the baby. Oh well, how true is this story is up to us to decide. As for me, this is the easiest but time consuming way of making a cute blanket. I'm using the scrap that leftover from the pillows.

The starting point for the blanket.

My my 2 sons were babies, they slept on face towel folded in two and slip into pillow cases. As for blankets , we used to wrap them up like a parcel with a cloth diaper. Old wifes tale. It works and so far so good. They only got their real cotton pillow after they turn one years old.

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few ...

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

Have anyone been to this place? I actually asked SK to help in translating them into English. According to her 'xiao' refers to small while 'ba wang' is gangster. Hhmmmm.... It is located right opposite the Stutong Market. BF say this is second branch. For me, this is the first time I saw it. This is a good place for 'pao' lovers to have their breakfast. BF and I went there once for breakfast since it's on the way to our workplace. First impression - I like it here. Not much traffics and the place is clean. Second impression - what happen to the day dreaming waitresses?? I want to take my order! Third impression - do they know that we are waiting? The food is nice. For BF, it is superb. He has been eating 'pao' for breakfast for almost everyday. Well maybe like what he say, for me everything is the same. But I must say the dim sum is nice. Anyway, I think they should really improve the workers efficiency. The other day, BF forgotten whether he had ...
