I was gonna start this para with “My new obsession – home decor….” but suddenly I remembered that I have liked home decor ever since I started to live with Azman in our old rented house. That’s not very recent I must say, that was in 2006.
As I was clearing stuff from the many boxes that are taking an eternity to organize I found my collection of Impiana magazine since 5 years ago. They are not so many but I realized I stopped buying them once Miki was born and started to follow this local interior decoration (id) magazine again this year.
I love Impiana. When it comes to id, the best source of idea for me is of course the world wide web but Impiana can offer great fresh ideas on paint colors, furniture, style, decorative items etc that suit the locals, budget and of course their suggestions are possible to obtain.
You see, too much web browsing is giving me this globalizing decor ideas and I ended up wanting a zebra rug that God knows I will never get! Mana nak cari kat M’sia ni? Rug monyet kongkang boleh la dapat kot! Itu pun haiwan terpelihara! hmmph!
This year alone, I think I have bought about 4-5 monthly copies. I love the content but I keep finding myself just admiring the pictures but not reading the content.
BECAUSE IF READ THE WORD PERCIKAN ONE MORE TIME AND A VOMITING BLOOD MOM I WILL BECOME!!!!!
Goshhh it’s so irritating! The writers try very hard to write fancy Malay literature but they ended up using the same old bloody phrases over and over and over again!
It’s “*percikan warna” here and “*suntikan mood” there and “*penataan cahaya” here and there and EVERYWHERE!!! Ayoyoyoyoyooooo….
Maybe it bothers just me, but hell percikan reminds me of ayam percik and suntikan reminds me perkongsian jarum suntikan. A lil too much penataan on the other hand is boring.Trust me, there are a thousand other ways to express the meaning of those words in Malay!
Damn I really love that magazine. I hope they will start writing more creatively… Muntah darah aku dah nak tepercik-percik dah ni…
*percikan – a splash
*suntikan – to inject
*penataan – a composure
haha aku ada koleksi setahun pertama impiana. depa mmg konsisten dengan gambar yang cun. kadang2 rumah biasa je tapi sebab cara amik gambar cool giler jadi lawa giler plak rumah tuh hehe 🙂
Knizam, aku sangat suka gambar2 dalam majalah tu! sebab deco dia boleh diterimapakai oleh golongan marhain macam aku, Best! Tapi suntikan perkataan2 melayu dia tu aku dah bosan…
