Feng Shui n Jade

Do u believe in feng shui??? I know a thing or two about feng shui but never an expert. As long as it is not against our beliefs and not superstition I guess it’s ok to have a sense of acceptance towards things like that. For example..i have a koi pond right in the middle of my house/courtyard and one of the important things I look for when buying a house is that it must be airy and have lots of windows/sliding doors.

My staircase is facing directly the front@main door and so I built a partition to block the area in between. I have no particular reason in doing so but my instinct says that it was a good move as I don’t think it’s a good idea for my guest to be greeted by a view of a staircase when they entered the house. And I also love money plant. I have plenty of it around the house. Those who is a feng shui expert will probably know the reason of why the koi fish, money plant and the partition existed. For me it is not only coincidence but also it did me no harm in believing that those are part of the aura that brings positive energy in my household. Of course apart from Allah’s will and blessing.

My recent charm purchased is from Qacac and I choose jade and aventurine to adorn the beautiful creation and masterpiece that Rina did for me. It is by far the most beautiful bracelet/charm I ever owned. Thank you Rina!!! It looks so grand on my skinny wrist..hehehe.

According to the Chinese feng shui ‘jade is said to be the stone of heaven and wearing jade is not only to confer greater health and vitality, but also to ward off back luck and misfortune. Jade is so multi-faceted in its meanings and qualities that it has virtually unlimited potential for use as a feng shui enhancement or cure for your home or for your personal adornment.’

Every women take pride in their collections of Bone China or Noritake or Corelle or RD or whatever expensive brands out there. As for me I do have a few sets of Corelle courtesy from my ever than willing mom, who goes all out buying them for me…thanks mom..i know u love me!!! Hehehe.

If it’s not for her I would probably still serving my guest the usual outdated looking melamine that has turn yellowish over the years!!! Hahaha. Mom constantly reminded me that apart from buying expensive handbags I should also take pride in owning a few quality pieces of dinnerware n tea sets at home. Which, I agreed after the ‘not so long’ lecture by mom.

Anyway..few weeks back mom reminded me again that I need to change the everyday use dinnerware for a more better looking and quality ones. I think she despised the melamine that I used to serve her dinner. Hahaha..poor mom.

So in order not to break her heart again..*I told u I love her* I find reasons to get a new sets of plates. And so..tonite I had my dinner..a dish of ’mee sedap’ served with my new china porcelain!!!.. and it tasted way much better… kekeke.. *bravo..bravo*…aren’t u guys proud of me???..:P

For the love of Dolls

If there’s one thing that I want my daughter to own it would be a massive collection of Barbie Dolls. I didn’t have the privilege to own a collection however I do have in possession few dolls that mom n dad generously bought for me.

:

I hope my daughter will be appreciative enough to understand the value of a collectors item. But of course I need to build her a nice cabinet to store it. Probably in a couple of years time both of us can share something in common for the love of Barbie. Till then my precious is too small to understand anything.

:

Someone gave her a first Barbie n she basically tear her apart!! The poor doll is now lying around without a skirt, shoes or handbag and worst still her hair is in a tangle of mess. Oohhh well so much for her first collection!!!

The history of Charm Bracelet taken from wikipedia

'A charm bracelet is an item of jewelry worn around the wrist. It carries personal charms: decorative pendants or trinkets which are signifiers of important things in the wearer's life.'

The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet to ward off evil spirits or bad luck.
In ancient Egypt charms were used for identification and as symbols of faith and luck. Charms also served to identify an individual to the gods in the afterlife. Medieval knights wore charms for protection in battle. Charms also were worn in the Dark Ages to represent family origin, religious and political convictions.
Charm bracelets have been the subject of several waves of trends.

Queen Victoria wore charm bracelets that started a fashion among the European noble classes. Soldiers returning home after World War II brought home trinkets made by craftsmen local to the area where they were fighting to give to loved ones, American teenagers in the 1950s and early 1960s collected charms to record the events in their lives. Although interest and production waned through the latter part of the 20th century, there was a resurgence of popularity after 2000 and collectors eagerly sought out vintage charms. Due to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, the fashion in winter 2006 was bracelets with little charms of swords, crosses and skulls.

Even though I’m not an avid collector of charms but I do have in my possession several pieces that potrays my habit and lifestyles. Some I got from Thomas Sabo, one from tiffany few others from Qacac Collection and the rest something that I grab at flea markets. It’s nothing much but it’s a treasure to me as the pieces are reflections of my identity and form a story of my life.
