Clear your own table
Whenever I go to IKEA, it is a must to have something to eat at the food court. And when I eat, I will ALWAYS clear my table.
Why?
Because I read the sign and respond to it.
And it is also because I want other people who are waiting to sit, can sit right away. I hate to see people waiting. I am also hoping that one day I will get a clear table and sit right away. But so far, my hope is just a hope. I know there are employees to clear tables but what is written on the signboard is very clear. They can keep the price low when less staff are needed to take care of the place.
I salute the effort done by schools to teach children how to clear their table after eating. Both schools that my son goes to, have this system. After eating, they will right away put their garbage in a proper place.
I hope parents can learn from children, I know I do.
But I only do this where appropriate. Not all food courts or restaurants have this system because the bill includes service charge.

Cats on blank/note cards
I remember having a request from a cat lover (forgot your name but you know who you are) to upload some cat cards. So, I uploaded some cat cards on my Littleshop. I think I have many cats but couldn’t find the files. These are the only cats I found in my archives.
Cat on Balcony (acrylic)
Raub Cat (watercolor)
Tioman Cat (watercolor)
All cards are printed using my Miss Pink FX (Fuji Xerox Laserjet) on 180gsm Ivory Card. Size is A4 (close); A5 (open).

Girlie theme blank/note cards
Added more blank/note cards with girls illustrations onto my Littleshop. Going to add cat theme also, still browsing my CD looking for files. Not sure where I put them. I am really not organised in terms of keeping files.
Here are some that were just added:

An afternoon on top of Gunung Jerai
hh
“How about we drive up to Gunung Jerai?” my husband said on the way back to Kuala Lumpur from Kedah. My only response was, “Yay!” I had never been to Gunung Jerai and agreed with the idea instantly. Yassin was jumping in the back seat. We stopped by Gurun R&R and got ourselves online to check the route to Gunung Jerai. We were not far as we only needed to get to the next exit to Gurun (K10) from the North-South Highway (E1) which is about 10 minutes from the R&R.The trunk road is currently under construction and we used the diverted road and crossed a railroad to get to Route 1 (I am not sure of the name of the road, the map referred it as Route 1). From Route 1, we took Route K159 which leads to Gunung Jerai. Prominent landmark includes KTM Train Station and Gurun Mosque.
We reached the top in about half an hour. It was only a 12km drive. If you are a traveller, taking the bus or train from Kuala Lumpur to Gurun and the foothill of the mountain, worry not as you will be approached by a tour guide offering a ride up and down for RM60 for two people. We were offered a ride but as we have our car, we saved RM60. Furthermore, driving up is free. The road is quite narrow at certain corners and there are safety mirrors and honking signboards to guide us safely up.
On the way up, there’s a Forestry Museum (Muzium Perhutanan). We did not drop by as we were very eager to reach the top.
When we reached the top, we were not sure where to go. We wanted to go inside the guarded area but we were not allowed in. We learned later, that the area is occupied by The Regency Resort. The resort signboard were too small to notice. Only when we walked in, we could see a bigger sign on the rock.
Yay! We’ve made it to 1200m above sea level! By car! Hehe. The view was indeed great. We could see beautiful panoramic view of paddy fields, two islands (Pulau Bidan and Pulau Telor) and the blue sky.
We had our lunch at The Regency’s cafe while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful view.
If you plan to go for a holiday, this will be a great place. The resort offers activities including jungle trekking. There is also a camping site just a few minutes walk outside the resort. There’s another camping site near the Forestry Museum.
Here are some information about how to get to Gunung Jerai:
Location :
In the district of Yan and Kuala Muda, Kedah.
Coordinates: N 05.79662° E100.43545How to Get There:
On the North-South highway (E1), exit at Gurun Exit (K10). After the toll, turn left and go straight. You’ll see a road diversion as the main road that leads to Route 1 is under construction. You’ll cross a railroad and right after that, the road will lead you to a T-junction. This is where you meet Route 1. Take right and go straight. Keep left and look for a Gunung Jerai signboard in about 15 15-minute drive.Contacts:

Bookplates on sale
I have uploaded some bookplates on sale in my humble littleshop. They are under the ‘printed items’ category. Selling 4 pieces for RM1.00. Delivery will cost you RM3.00 so I suggest you order the bookplates with other items to save the cost. These bookplates would be great for your books for your online schooling.
I decided to offer these for sale because many book lovers told me that it is very hard to find any on bookstores. Here are photos of some:

Featured in Cut Out magazine, Vol 02 Issue 04
Bought the magazine at Art Book Fair from Basheer Graphic Books. I did know that I was going to be featured but did not know which issue.
I actually never bought Cut-Out magazine and it was the cover that made me buy this one issue. And while browsing the pages inside, I saw my name.
And I like this ad also; it features my Rangoon Creeper’s lil’ guardian.
As I read the magazine, I found out that it is quite interesting to read, full of art stuff. This is the kind of magazine that people attending an online art university enjoy. You should get one today.
