Project KISS no. 1

My 1st handsewn bag

Yup.. you got it righto... My very 1st hand-sew project.  A little bag which I hand-sew it and it took me like 5-6 hours to complete.

I only now dare to post it after making some alterations and beautification and YES-lor! again... this is going to be my next business which I have started beginning this year and it is always been my well kept hidden interest and passion to number of friends who knows me well.

The pattern on the bag is famously known russian nesting wooden doll - Matryoshka Doll.  I got this kit during a workshop organized by KDU Zakka Workshop from D'Handmade's House by Florence Lui who guide us through step by step and she's one superb teacher. Mighty interesting!!!...

It was a try-out for me to test myself, hopefully I'm not just "hangat-hangat tahi ayam" and I now really really know that if I set myself to do it, I can do it and it really was a booster to my confidence knowing what I'm capable of.

Well, this bag is not for sale as it is my 1st born.  So it is more to come... Look out in this space or my facebook page.. February 2013 will be ending in another 4 hours and March 2013 is here already. Wow... it is like a split second; only recently we were all celebrating Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and Chap Goh Mei.  Time really flies fast and I have a lot of catching up to do with my planning and goals that I have set for...

'Panthera Group Official 'Hoi Kung' Lunch

Louuuu Sanggggg

This would be our Panthera Group's 3rd year celebrating our very own CNY 'Hoi Kung' lunch hosted by my manager, Karen Leong.

We have come a long way growing our group and everyone of us come from different race, background and age group. I can say we are one 'Muhibbah' group and we being we are like any family, have their misgiving, different of opinion, fun and laughter.

That is one thing I like about being a born and breed Malaysian, despite of all the mumbo-jumbo out there, we still live peacefully and harmony. Ok... enough of all the patriotic talk.

Back to our 'Hoi Kung' lunch. I really have to apologize as this is the only photo I have and I was too engrossed with the spread we have today.  This year we went to Restoran Muhibbah and this joint moved from their Taman Tun Dr Ismail to their own homely new place in Sungai Penchala. I only found their Facebook link through Google, which have more photos and map to their restaurant.

It will be a good choice to have a good meal and it is 'halal' if your guest or group are like our muhibbah Panthera's.. Today is the 10th day of CNY Water Snake year. It will be Chap Goh Mei this sunday, so let's 'Louuuu Sangggg' all the way....

'Hoi Kung Lorrr....'

Flat White (if you like strong coffee taste)

Yessss-lorrrr... I 'Hoi Kung' today, CNY 4th day.. Strangely I guess a lot of people are not back to work officially, still basking with all the mandarin oranges, 'rou karn' and cookies. I started my day with checking Prudential Raise portal for updates and emails.

Also made some calls and frustratingly calling most of the nearby Proton Service Centre to fix my power window which unavailed non can slot me in.  After a few attempts, I call back the Service Mesra @ Damansara Petronas Station to slot me in tomorrow.  Yeah yeah yeah... the window had to go down under while in Klang visiting relatives on 1st day of CNY.  Luckily weather has been good for the past few days.

Red Velvet

Well, I decided to go kopi-ing again and this time it is the new joint at Damansara Uptown call Kaffa Espressor Bar. One expression to everything from ambience, decor, staff, service and foodies and coffeesss - AWESOMELY SUPER DUPER COOLLLLLLL!!!!!..

One thing please don't be fooled by the cup they serve you in. Nooooo..... it is not your Ah-Ma Ah-Kong's metal teko kopi, it is ceramic. The one you drop will break to gazillion pieces. The Red Velvet is pretty moist only I find the icing top a bit sweet.. 

This place can really spoil me for sure and planning my next escapade there soon.

Huaaattttt-ahhhh...... I thought, anyway Huaaatttt-ahhh....

Literally, I thought I have deleted this blog... Anyhow, I was scratching head not because I gatal or I got fleas attack. Is that fickle mind of mind naming my blog...

Knowing me being me, I will like ponder, ask here and there on how to name a blog, and I always knew if I ask my dear old friend Marge Goh, I would get some inspiration.  She never fails to amused me. By the way she has a blog too, http//margegoh.blogspot.com and titled 'I love my style'. Ahh!! remember must pay a visit, ok.... since I mentioned it here... Hey! of course-lah must do promotion for people-mah...

So here it is re-branding from thannysforte to eyesofthann.blogspot.com.  Here I would bring you into my world from foodies craving, crafting enthusiast,  right up to some Meows experiences, etc etc.. Anything that feast my eyes...

Mostly importantly, lets have an awesomely experience together.... Huaaatttt-ahhhh...

Cappucino artfully served...

Simply refreshing Pineapple Juice

Ok... This Red Velvet has a tinge of Apple Cider  Vinegar

Me and Marge Goh were kopi-ing at Plan B, Paradigm Mall... This outlet is quite pack with customers on a public holiday especially it's CNY 2nd day. Cosy and comfortable ambience. 

Anyway, I have yet to try out their foodies. Perhaps the next round...
