A sanctuary for Stationery lover

I had a blast at the Stickerrific in The School, Jaya One, Petaling Jaya.  

I adore the calligraphy written on the small display board.  

The stationery studio is filled with varieties of stickers, ink, calligraphy nibs, planners, notebooks and washi tapes !! Probably the best part of the store is the spacious space for the journaler / planner addict. Besides, I was busy to look at the ephemera pasted in every corner. 

My main objective for the visit was to get myself a set of Travelers Notebook (Midori). 

 

I also can't get my eyes off those real-life sampling.

Let It Rain Cafe House

We visited a zakka style cafe house "Let It Rain" which is located in Cyberjaya in one of the weekend. I couldn't resist but to post some of the photos that caught my eye ... admire at how the cafe owner who is blending the local elements and zakka style.  

PASSIONS in Living his Life , probably..

It is always fun to imagine ...what would you do if you own a cafe house ? 

How to attract customers to walk into your store ? 

Any home dishes that make your customers to look for them again next time ?  

How to optimise the space, by not projecting messiness ?

77 marked the year I was born..

We are also happy to meet XinYi, a Singaporean artist in personal.

The above was some of the cuties she drew for display.

I bought few pieces of her printed artwork as well.   

Love this corner ... and feel that the table lamp is just so matching.

Another favorite corner

The little ephemera sparks up an obsession & addictive emotions of love.

Yum Cha Cafe, Jalan Petaling

I wandered along Petaling street, taking my lunch time slot (2 hours on every Friday) to have / to do something that breaks my usual routine and thus discovered the beauty of the city. 

An hour nested in the cozy cafe called Yum Cha Cafe, Jalan Petaling. (Yum Cha means 'Catching up with friends' in Cantonese).

Love the red and brown painted deco. wall. Yes, Sun, shine on me today. 


I got myself the lunch set , Kampung Fried Rice (a bit spicy), Hot Lemon Honey and Rojak (mixed fruits salad in Malaysian style), cost me RM 18.

A good life in April ~ little travel to Penang and Broga

Hi, an update on my April moleskine journal. 

In April, life a bit different as compared to previous months as I make a trip to Penang, on my own without family. 

 I spent one day hanging around the island and 2 days attending the workshop at this elegant mansion. 

On the first day arrival (about 1 hr flight), most of the time I spent touring around Penang Peranakan Mansion, baba nyonya museum. 

 

There was a lot of antique / vintage stuff to see, but my favorite was the room which filled with shelves of colorful Vaseline Glass Epergnes collection from England (1890-1930).

I attempted to draw it in a journal. 

I settled my lunch at 4pm in a zakka cafe ~ Chai Diam Ma (I had a late breakfast inside the plane)

Most of the pages were prepared in advance for ease of journaling.



We have a long holiday from May 1 to May 4. We enjoyed our sunshine, outdoor by making our trip to Broga. Oops..no hiking, but we drove to 2 km further up from the famous Broga Hill (Selangor), the Broga Town (Negeri Sembilan) . We visited the Taoist Temple, which is located at the Broga.



A dedicated page to record our recent outing to Broga Hill, Semenyih.

The lush green hill at the other side of the temple gave me a feeling of tranquility, a pause moment that I willing to slow down my steps.



I was inspired by the green hill.
On the top part of the journal page, I put on some watercolor and doodled, and the result turned out unexpectedly nice.
