One day when I was blogwalking, I stumble upon this great exercise to get rid of your stress or sleepiness, at work or anywhere-else. The exercise is from Leypark.com and I suggest you guys try this exercise, it's fun and refreshing (",)
Firstly, the warm-up session. This is a wake-up call.
Begin with releasing the 'burden' you carry on your shoulder and let your arms go loose.
Post like a star because you are one (hehehe)
Step number four is to move your body right to left
Repeat the steps (I know you like it)
Still sleepy and not feeling well? This step will freshen your mind and body (please seek advice before performing to avoid any harm being done)
After that step, you will feel like your flying through the air and this is normal
To come back to 'real life', please do this step (no skipping of the step)
Better? Now get aggressive...
You are a star for performing all of the steps, so post like one.
We're getting to the end, last call to get rid of all the sleepiness, tiredness, boredom, stress etc
Previously only a studio-like apartment, he install slides shelves that function as partition for new room with new function. The partitioner slides to reveal shelves that will transform the room to a new one such as a library, a guest room, a kitchen, a bathroom with a bathtub and many other.
2) Designer Builds Home Out Of Shipping Containers - Hatteberg's People TV
It's energy saving / efficient because they recycle used shipping container (the real one that travel on the ocean back and forth from one side to another side of the world). Off course the one in the video is taking massive modification that it doesn't really look like one, but it is really practicable recycling it to a better use. And its pretty cheap to as I heard someone can get it for free! (who doesn't like free stuff?)
All of this video-watching makes me want to grab some tools and wood and start making my own tiny houses. Only problem is I don't have the spaces and the budget. Probably in the future.....
Kebelakangan ini saya sangat-sangat suka dengan craft duct tape. Dan seperti biasa sumber rujukan adalah video di youtube. Checkadout video kat bawah ni.
Nampaknya banyak kegunaan duct tape ni, yang juga dikenali sebagai cloth tape, bukan insulating tape. Jangan konfius dan salah anggap sebab saya dulu ingatkan insulating tape adalah sama seperti duct tape. Hakikatnya bukan sebab duct tape jauh lebih tahan dari insulating tape yang terhad kepada electrical purpose.
Setahu saya duct ni adalah ruang ventilation atau untuk asap2, maka boleh dirumuskan bahawasanya duct tape ini adalah untuk kerja-kerja berkaitan dengan ventilaton dan kawasan yang sama waktu dengannya. Jadi tak hairanlah sumber utama untuk mendapatkan duct tape adalah di kedai-kedai hardware dan kedai alat tulis. Kenapa kedai alat tulis pun ada? Sebab kekadang, duct tape atau cloth tape ini bertindak sebagai binder untuk buku.
Ada macam-macam kaler, tapi kat Malaysia tak feymes jadi susah nak dapat bekalan untuk buat wallet yang cantik. Balik-balik hitam and kelabu. Warna lain macam merah, biru, coklat susah sikit nak cari. Yang lagi susah @ rare ialah warna putih, purple, fluorescent dan corak-corak macam kat bawah ni.
Dan untuk pengetahuan tambahan, ada banyak jenis wallet sebenarnye kat dunia ni; antaranya ialah bi-fold, tri-fold, accordian, purse, women's wallet etc.

Dan sudah semestinya bukan ini sahaja. Banyak lagi design yang cool habis; hanya perlu google image sahaja. Dan kalau anda perasan, gambar yang terakhir Purse tu adalah anyaman antara dua kaler duct tape.
Makanya, sesiapa sahaja yang berminat, saya sedia menerima tempahan (",). Hanya perlu email saya di fazlinsaharudin at gmail dot com. Mudah saje. Harga boleh dirunding. Till then, chiao.
If one think about small, it is natural to associate it with tiny, less, little or even unimportant. However, small is also synonym with cozy, easy and more often saving. I found a documentary video on youtube about small homes that really open my eyes and my mind to new perspective, just like the old saying less is more. The documentary titled "We the Tiny House People" was made by Kirsten Dirksen for her channel on youtube (i think its for the channel, don't know if the documentary was for TV somewhere). And I find her channel very interesting where she covers the life of all this people who live in tiny apartments/homes and how they manage that. She also have a websites here. Previously, I had an entry where I talked about a Lego style Apartment, turn out its from her channel. She also got tons of other video with the same theme. I've list some of the episode which I think is more interesting than the others.
There's no doubt that he is thinking of his own future, so his parents must be relieved. Do you remember what we did when we're 16? I do - play all the time and not worry about mortgage or anything. It's really amazing what this kid is doing. 3. Simple life Manhattan: a 90-square-foot microstudio
90-square-foot is roughly the size of an MPV (motor power vehicle). Imagine that cramp with your stuff - bed, closet, desk, 'kitchen', bathroom - its hard right? Well this girl has done it. 4. Tiny, Portable, Prefab Cube Shelter
Look at the adorable little house. Serves perfect as hotels or homestay-like house for tourist or whoever wants. I am falling in love with the small and tiny houses like these. Aren't they cute?
So, thats that. There are lots of others scattered on the internet, feel free to search about them. I''ll probably write again something similar to this in the future. So stay tuned (",)
Do you know that apartments in Japan are superb, yes tiny but wonderful at the same time. I wish there are small apartments like that here in Kuala Lumpur. I find them very practical for a single tenant, you don’t have to search for housemates (which often lead to various problems because you don't really know them). But off course it’s only an opinion from one person, others may find the small space a ridiculous thing.
Basically, there are different types of tiny apartment or apaato as they called it; 1K, 2DK, 2LDK and probably some more that I don’t know. The number signifies rooms, K means kitchen, D means dining room and L means living room. Want to know more about the different types of apartment, go here.
So basically 2DK apartments are 2 bedroom plus kitchen plus dining room (no living room, but I think the room can doubles as both). The shower room is separated with toilet because that’s the culture (very much same to Malaysia but modern houses nowadays combines them both). Most apartments also come with a fridge, a microwave oven, stove, washing machine, internet access and closet (sometimes TV). Here are some pictures and videos, enjoy;
Key for the apartment, a very strange one in my opinion
Then you have Genkan which is a place where you take off your shoes because Japanese culture do not wear shoes inside the houses (same like Malaysia)
The basic Hallway that lead to your room. Most of the apartment layouts are toilet and shower on one side and kitchen, washing machine, closet/storage on the other side.
Among the cool thing about the toilet is the fact that a sink is placed on top of the water tank for the convenience of washing your hand after you're done and recycling the water for flushing, ain't that green?
Also a cool thing is the dryer in the shower which are meant to dry clothes. Just hang it and turn it on to the setting you want, it's that simple.
These are different interior that I found (it's not limited to only these). Personally prefer the top-left, seem so much bigger than the other. Here a tour video, credit to the owner (",)
Also, I find that apartment in Korea shares similar styles as these tiny apaato. Comparing the two, Korean use keypad thingy to replace key which are useful if you left your key in the apartment), the shower don't have tub, kitchen area is not in the hallway but integrated as part of the room, some have loft for sleeping area and some don't have specific sleeping area at all. Also, they have floor heat system which is important I guess. Whatever the differences, I love both Japanese and Korean apartment (",). Here is one video I found on youtube;
Cool title right? So today I want to talk about some really cool furniture design that I found on youtube (off course, where else?) and I’ve been kinda obsessed about them these past few days. These are absolutely amazing furniture, some made by companies, some by individuals. Without further ado, lets take a look.
A New York based company that have been around for more than 10 years, provides the solution to tiny spaces problems with a stylish design. According to the president of the company, his furniture serves double and sometimes triple purposes instead of conventional one purpose furniture. What I like about them is that they are very useful and practical and modern and maximize space at the same time. Check it out.
A coffee table transform into a dining table. Neat right?
A desk which elevates when the hidden single bed opens
A two seat sofa that later be revealed as bunk bed (I honestly didn't see that coming)
An end table doubles as extra dining table for guests or it could double as your work table, you choose
Hiddenbed A company specializing in designing furniture that always transform into bed, usually a single bed. Everything stays on the desk while you pull the bed from the back.
These are just plain awesome. The design concept totally blow me away. See for yourself. The pictures alone don't do justice, you need to see the video here to be totally amazed.
From the wall to a desk
The stool did come from the painting too (is it a painting?)
Yep, it doubles as a nice looking coffee table (how cool is that?)
I can obviously see that this is going to be hot item if it ever be marketed
Expandable table
Using some mechanism of gear i presume, it expand the square table which come in handy when you want larger table space.
With black glass top finish, you really can't complain
The furniture are also eco-friendly and portable too!
Although most of the stuff is not available in my country, I just want to appreciate just how creative one person can be and I am jealous by their thinking and creative ability. I hope someday I can contribute some useful ‘thing’ to the world like they had no matter how small the contribution is.
Hari ni nak cerita lagi pasal duit lama, buat yang baru singgah blog ni, apa kata gi ushar dulu post ni Duit oh Duit. Post tu pun pasal duit lama jugak – duit syiling.
Saje nak update info, dalam post yang terdahulu tu saya hanya bagi nilai UNC (Uncirculated) untuk semua duit syiling secara amnya, tapi dalam banyak-banyak syiling lama atau syiling 1st series, ada yang mencecah ribuan ringgit. Yup, jangan tak percaya pulak. Syiling yang mana satu? Mari kita tengok sama-sama.
Okay, untuk maklumat yang lebih lanjut mengenai 1 sen 1976 (ini bukan syiling 1 sen yang biasa, jangan salah faham), dinasihatkan melawat web lunaticg. Beliau ada menceritakan tentang bagaimana duit 1 sen tersebut boleh bernilai hampir 3600 kali ganda dari nilai sebenar. Kalau kamu semua nak tahu, sebenarnya, lagi sikit keping syiling yang dihasilkan bagi tahun tersebut, lagi berlipat gandalah nilainya.
Daripada jadual tu, semua mesti perasan ada yang beratus ringgit kan? Semua tu ada kisah disebalik nilai tinggi diorang tu, nak tahu lebih lanjut mengenai sejarah atau cerita panjang lebarnya, sila klik link yang kat bawah ni.
