Chili String- Traditional way to get rid of flies.

Salam! Happy weekend and happy holidays!

I will answer queries at the end of this entry:) Wahh so seronok long weekend and holiday kan:):) We can spend time with our loved ones or just relax and unwind. I love to spend time at my kitchen but lately during this rainy season my kitchen kena attack quite badly with flies..and i hate to see flies roaming around in my kitchen:(

So i telah buat something and I am sharing it with you all and of course my Tia and Mia.


Yesterday i went to the "Red Shop" at Ikano (shop selling araomatheraphy candles and benda2 sembahyang china) and asked for things that can get rid of flies.The shop owner told me that this lemongrass candle can get rid of flies. I bought and it's quite expensive  i.e RM30 for 6 candles.


I went to the next shop to compare the price ( dah beli baru nak compare kan...he he) and was told by the chinese lady to hang dried chili in the kitchen- she said that's the traditional way to get rid of flies.


In some countries like Mexico they love to hang chilies in their kitchen:)


Some turn chilies into beautiful decoration and gift like this pretty chili wreath:)


And this gorgeous chili garland.


So today i buat project sikit,lunch time i went to Daiso and bought this RM5 jut string.


I bought few other RM5 things i.e clothes peg with hook and plastic grapes.


Balik tadi since Ustazah Jamie tak jadi datang ajar Iqraq sebab jalan jam dan banjir, while teman the other half makan i pun buat lah project chili:) I cut the jut string,tied grapes in the middle,hook the chili to the peg's hook and clip it to the string.


Tadaaaa my Chili String..i am quite satisfied with the outcome.


Boleh jadi kitchen decoration and buat lalat bersin achuuu achuuuu non stop hopefully until they lose their nose and feel scared to come again..he he;)


Hepppp girl- that is not the real grapes okay;) Sorry if i made you drool over it;);) 

Orang tua2 zaman dulu so pandai buat peribahasa- kata2 dan makna sangat bertepatan- kudos to them - "Kecil2 cili padi"- "Siapa makan chili dia terasa pedasnya" Tepat dan jitu:):)

Before i go to sleep and dream of the Handsome Chili Prince from Espanol i would like to say salam to : Nur -Nba,Ida,Haliza Ghazalli,Umiyumi,Elena,Rozz,Ramadhan,Anon,susumanis,Shazliza,Lagenda Mahsuri,Yong,Ann Huzi,Norhuda,Zuhriyanie, Sham(seremban),Filla-Kasihs,Kniedaz,Yatie,Ash,herlyna,Kak Pinat,Sarah,HanisAzla,ibunurin,Akmar AT,Kak Kasih redha,pelangi petang,Cacah,Fatimah,Eey,Rozana Muaz,lasufi, shilamuin,Greetingsfrom england,shahid,Zulfadly,Nor azlina.

Yang bertanya saya booked through website mana,i used Agoda,the price before tax was RM429 but bila dah tax etc kena lah jugak more than that and price Agoda or any other website bila dah semakin dekat festive season (Christmas) akan jadi lebih mahal.So rasanya RM460 tu is the right price.

Thanks pada yang memberikan kata2 yang baik,doa2 yang indah:) In shaa Allah kata2 yang baik dan doa2 yang indah juga buat semua.In sha Allah juga pada yang berkirim salam pada yang kecik dan yang senior akan di sampaikan:)

Finally; end your worries,increase your faith, bring sincerity in your heart,share your happiness with others,love more,hate less- In shaa Allah we ll have a more peaceful mind;):)

Psttt- "senereh' tu makna dia 'yang okay sikit" or senonoh, dan siapa tahu "cenekel" dan "tocholait"..he he meneka tepat boleh dapat hadiah chili tau:):)

"cenekel" = pengelat/main tipu "tocholait"= lampu picit/touchlight

Salaam azu, hiks me dengan lalat memang selalu berperang..sakit mata tengok dia berterbangan kat dapur, sampai ke living room dia ada..tak tau pulak guna dried chilies is one of the traditional way..biasa me guna spray yang water based jer, tapi still lalat nie susah nak mati..so standby dengan towel buruk..so memang kena lepuk2 baru mati lalat tu..my bil memang terror bunuh lalat..guna tangan jer :-)
