August - Lucky month for us!

This month is considered lucky for my family & myself because we have recently got the August luck to win somethings which I consider BIG for a not so "champ" comper like me compared to the big time regular winners.

Wanna find out more about my rewarding comping hobby . Please check it out here: http://contestaddict.blogspot.com.

While we were in Malacca to collect our Winning Prize, we managed to indulge ourselves with the local Malacca Nyoya food at Nancy;s kitchen. Check out what we had here:

Meanwhile have a great day everyone and thks for dropping by my humble blog- a digital legacy for my kids in future!

Crowd control

Crowd control is the controlling of a crowd, to prevent the outbreak of disorder and prevention of possible riot. Examples are at football matches and when a sale of goods has attracted an excess of customers or refugee control. It calls for gentler tactics than riot control.

Materials such as stanchions, crowd control barriers, fences and decals painted on the ground can be used to direct a crowd. Keeping the crowd comfortable and relaxed is also essential, so things like awnings, cooling fans (in hot weather), and entertainment are sometimes used as well.

Specific products that are used to implement line management and public guidance in high traffic areas include retractable belt systems (which incorporate a stanchion post and the retractable tape) and wall mount systems (also incorporating a retractable belt but are surface mounted). Post and rope systems are also popular, especially in banks and theaters. So far I see the ropes are usually of red velvet ropes like those commonly found in banks, theatres and shopping complexes!

Besides the above crowd control gadgets, barricades are also commonly used as objects or structures that create a barrier or obstacle to control, block passage or force the flow of traffic in the desired direction. Adopted as a military term, a barricade denotes any improvised field fortification, most notably on the city streets during urban warfare.

Pictures of the abovementioned items can be viewed here.

Fun with Wall Stickers

During my recent school holidays Penang Trip, I stumbled upon these very nice artistic wall stickers which come in many designs but in 2 packaging. One smaller & 1 bigger ones.There are many different series of them, for various places like living room, kitchen, kids room, bathroom and many more....

Here are some designs which I bought & started my school holiday project at home with them:

1) The living room: Welcome Puppy!




2) Teatime Theme for the kitchen




3) Doggies for the wooden back door




4) Romantic hearts & bubbles for the bedroom



5) Teabreak design for cupboards






Dnt u think these are great ideas to add zest to our old walls & dull spots at home?
I'm addicted to them & will definitely get more!
