I completed my first paid henna assignment last Thursday and got $75..woohoo.
When I first saw the pattern that the bride wanted, it was more complicated that I'd initially thought..but persevered and finished it in 3 hrs.
Yesterday marks the first back-to-school day for us teachers (at my school) and no doubt, it's going to be full-speed ahead from now on.
I don't mind..I thought the holiday was more than sufficient :)

Hen-na Party
Another cousin is getting married in a period of 2 weeks and that makes 3 in total..phew! Humaira and I will be going there later as I am the official person to put on her henna..Hey, not bad for a person who have done this only twice and only on herself. She only wanted a simple design to accompany the traditional way of wearing wedding henna and here are some pics that we took during her trial we did last week:
I guess this is a more frugal way, getting your cousin do it cos these things are not cheap. When I did mine, I paid $120..yikes!

Ok, so my baby is back to her normal self on the 6th day of her fever. Just like Naz told me, after the spots were out , her fever subsided and gradually the spots disappeared. So, the family is back up and running.
The other evening, I went to my Auntie As place to send some stuff for an upcoming cousin's wedding and she asked me: "abih Rai buat apa sekarang kat rumah?" (Translated: "What have you been doing at home?")
So I told her about my excessive baking and cooking (latest being the big soft ginger cookies):
Learning through self-practice the art of henna designs. The design below is not well done and was my first try. The second and third ones were better but for lack of hands to draw on, it is on a part of my body which cannot be publicly displayed here..hehe:
I bought a rectangular plant pot and two bags of potting mix for $15 and planted onions, garlic, turmeric and a bit of parsley. I wanted to see if I can plant herbs for cooking. I'm also attending to my one orchid plant which flowers have all dropped off but are growing two new shoots (how exciting!). I will post pictures if they turn out well,ok? (",)
I dabbled my hand in a bit of painting and decorating my house.
And to answer all this, my aunt said: "Why don't you learn sewing?"
Yes..why not?!
