Okay I admit. I got a "thing" for bird cage ESP white ones. I have a few, but these are my faves.


I went to Paradigm, and I saw this shop. Kaison.
The look of the shop is so inviting like as if asking me to "come in.... Come in...."
It's such a big shop with so many lanes and different categories.

One day, the parking uncle came to our shop.

Uncle: my house ah... got a lot of ants. I tried the chalk la..i tried the spray la.. everything la. All also so expensive. All also cannot work.
Me: oh then you should try our OMG insects. Worked for me. I just spray on my kitchen table and wipe dry. No more ants after that.
Uncle : *disbelief face* sure or not. How much is it?
Me: Rm7 one liter only.
Uncle: Okay. Give me one liter. I go home and try and see how. My house everywhere also got ants wan.   Alot. Everywhere.
Me: *sweat* so much ah? then you use some and dilute and mop the floor also la. okay?
Uncle : Can mop also ah?
Me: yes yes. 1 part to 50 parts of water.
Uncle: need to rinse or not?
Me: no need. just leave it dry like mopping floor.

Thanks babes!

I received a big bouquet of congratulatory flower on the opening of BYOB Subang last 5th May from Barbara, Elaine and Annie. What a surprise! Thanks babes! So it's been a week and the flowers started to wither. So I have no choice but to discard the flowers and I found out that the metal stand is very sturdy. So I converted it to a blackboard stand for our promotion. Not bad right? Haha so thanks girls, you not only gave me a bouquet of flowers but you guys gave me a blackboard stand too :)
left: me and the big bouquet stand , right the recycled bouquet stand turned into a blackboard holder.

Refilling detergent in squirt bottles

I used to buy dishwash in squirt bottle containers until I started buying refills from BYOB. And I found out that squirt bottle caps are kinda hard to remove cos it's not the screw on type. So
I experimented and now I can remove caps within seconds. So this yesterday morning, so happened that my customer brought so many squirt bottles over to BYOB Subang. So I asked my hub to record and see how fast I can remove the bottle cap. Haha I myself was amazed.

DIY: Leaky Tap

One of the gadget that we've DIY in our shop was this container for leaky taps. The detergent will still continue to leak for a while before it stop so I thought why not do something to collect the detergent. This is not something new as I have seen some ppl doing it in pinterest. I'm not gonna take credit for someone else's creativity :P
Step 1: Draw the bottle using markers according to the shape that you want.
Step 2: Cut with cutter. Please be extra careful when you cut. I'm used to using cutter so I can do it fast.If you're not used to using cutter, please do it slowly.
Step 3: One became 2. Draw another "hole" mark with your marker.
Step 4: cut the hole. (please becareful!)

And the end result.
