It’s been somewhat a tiring day for Mysury , but a tiredness accompanied by the abundant of joy makes a person feel good about it. Mysury is very much grateful to life and God especially for all 28 years of her life she has never once felt that her close family ever ignored or abandoned her. Though she’s married and has a busy life of her own, close family always remain in the circle of her life.
Always being the sweet niece to every uncle and aunty, they would just care for her just like she a small kid, still getting hug and kisses, phone calls, dinner/lunch treat, still receive small gift during birthday or after their visit from holiday, all this remind her that all of them care about her just as much as she did. Yes, she thank God for that and for the rest of their life, Mysury pray that they will have a pleasant years ahead of them...cause for a moment yesterday, when she look at their faces, a feeling of scared loosing them to death that can never be avoided just make a sharp pain in her stomach, though we cannot escape it, but at last … we hope we may have a peaceful end. God willing…Amen
Anyway, yesterday, some of her aunt and uncle, also her parents, sisters and cousins paid a visit to her house, the house that has always been occupied by only 2 persons was welcoming and extra 15 guests. Their visits was rather a short notice, as they decided to take a peep at their niece new home, …so from the restaurant where they had a small gathering during lunch hour, they decided to extend the gathering to a tea get-together at Mysury very own house “ CHINTA MYSURY”. She’s happy but a bit nervous as thinking what would they say about her house from the choice of location , to size of the house and the interior deco and yes, what would she served them once they get there. Everything was just unplanned. The entire questions come to and end when her aunts and uncle smile proudly (the moment they entered her house) to her and praise, young women you have decorated this house finely, it’s very lovely and neatly arrange. After this, when want to take a break at our own house chores, we will definitely come here : ) . That’s a very sweet comment to Mysury.
So in this entry Mysury would like to share some tips to the readers when you have an unexpected guest to your house especially those who you always want to show a good example to them as a good host.
~To Mysury sister, Ms Lola Lisa, you too will get married soon and we shall ambush your house… : )) ~
Quick Tips:
- Always, and always expect that you will get a guest to drop by at your house especially when any gathering / meeting place took place near to your house (Msyury place and the gathering place was only 15 KM away)
- Always have something ready to serve to the guest. (Luckily she had chocolate cakes and donuts), you can keep some frozen foods like nuggets, curry puff or frozen popiah, perhaps some bread and tuna/ sardine for a quick fix sandwich.
- Prepare some hot drinks – coffee and tea so that your guest may have some choice to drinks. ( Mysury served a black coffee and flavored peach tea)
- Ask them whether they need use the washroom, or the guest room to refresh themselves or for the Muslims guest who might want to perform their Solah, you can place a complete set of telekung, kain pelekat, and the prayer mat ready in the guest room (Mysury trick is to complete the guest room with a complete set of toiletries like a accessories kit, dental kit, lotion, body wash, shampoo and etc– some of this item comes in miniature size from the her hotel personal collection. It’s free, nice and handy!)
- At the living area, switch on some music to create a positive mood but keep the volume low just as background music. Also switch on the aircond/ fan to have a breezy air around, place some magazines / light reading material, albums of your own or family or have some group games items . (JENGA, cards, PS 2 set – this really help to make the small kids stay focus, and etc)
- Talk to all of them no matter how occupied you are with arranging / preparing things. Listen to their comments or feedback regarding your house with a smile or note of thanks.
Lastly, Mysury favorite’s tips, which she got it from http://interiordec.about.com/old/guestroom2/a/tipshouseguests.htm
There's no better way to make a house guest feel uncomfortable than to be working, cleaning, and cooking the whole time your guests are with you. Give you and your guests a chance to relax and really enjoy each other. No one will care if the kitchen is sparkling or the sheets are ironed. And when there is work to do, accept every offer wash the dishes or set the table. Be a team and let everyone enjoy!
- At the end of the visits, thanks your guest and invite them to come again, send them right at the door or gate.
Every little gesture counts a point to a good host ;)

Mysury was again hired as the hantaran set coordinator, this time around the customer is her very own best friends that she had known since she was 7 years old, being in the same school, same tuition centre and almost the same housing area their friendship bloom genuinely till now. They have the same kind of taste for what they called as beautiful perfect thingy. Well even the bedroom set was purchased at the same place : ), hence letting Mysury to do the hantaran arrangement for the guys side is an easy decision for her .
