The 3 R Cycle ~ Reduce, Recycle and Reuse ~

The Cycle Truth


Papercraft In A Different Side Of View
Papercraft has existed eversince the creation of the element itself. The art itself has many techniques to compose three dimensional products. Each craft generated usually trends to the customs of the origin country be it east or west. 

The art of papercraft has a major role in being a productive income generator and it has evolved as an education aid for students especially for children for special needs. Besides the ecstatic value of art in 3D, it also has been found to be able to help kids as a therapy to express their feelings and emotion by letting them use the art to do it.

Each and everyday, every second around us we are able to see paper is used everywhere. That is the answer to the main reason why we at ACE end up using this most valuable and easy to obtain element as our base of product. Like anyone else, reading the newspaper relays all the information we need daily even though we are in the internet era, most people still prefers reading printed matter to generate and boost the mind activity.

After reading the newspaper, what do we do with it? Put it aside? Keep it piling up and sell it at one point for a price so incomparable to the price of buying? Burn it? Chuck it somewhere not to be seen? Or plainly couldn't be bothered to know what happened to it because you are not the last one who read it. Yes, indeed life is like that. Ignorance.

~ Our Story ~

Once upon a time, as time went by, our newspaper collection got piled up. Sitting on our favourite couch together enjoying our cup of coffee while pondering on either to keep on piling it up or just send it for recycling. Suddenly, like a strike of lightning, we came up with a brilliant idea! Let's make it beautiful!

We did not want to just look at the pile of newspapers, but we decided to diversify! That was the starting point of ACE. It was like written in our life line that both me and my love of my life, would become so obsessed with our passion in crafts work. If you just look at the newspaper alone, nothing will happen! YES I repeat, NOTHING will happen! BUT, if you look deep within, think positively, and diversify your mind, you will get to see a whole new perspective view of it.

We worked hard on our research and how to develop an edge of design in our passion. Well, looking back at a few of our first few items and what we have now in our designs, anyone could tell the difference. Today, our customer's can tell out our signature touch in our products and we are proud of what we are now.

 The pictures below illustrates from our earliest designs to the designs that we at ACE have now!

EVOLVING DESIGNS FROM THIS LITTLE LAMP
 TO

MORE BEAUTIFUL LAMPS LIKE THESE!

It is like looking back in awe whenever we look at pictures of our products from the beginning. Sometimes, we ourselves couldn't believe our eyes and left stunned in silence of over all our achievements. Who would actually believe that we were able to make products solely from newspaper? Not mentioning the barriers we had to undertake to bring our crafts field to a higher level. It was a big step for us at ACE as we decided to commercialize our products. Thinking back, even we at ACE could not have imagined we were able to do so. It was indeed a blessing and pure serendipity.

Putting our soul's into our passion has built a strong bond between us as maker's and our customer's especially when we are able realise all their customized orders. Nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction at that moment. 

As far as ACE has grown, we value all the support given to us with deepest gratitude from the heart. Non can be compared to the support from our family, friends and customers. Even you, if you are reading our site now, we would like to express our heart full thank you for spending your precious time reading.

Best Malaysian Food Picks

Nurul's Delights

Homemade biscuits and cookies is now trending especially during the festive seasons here in Malaysia. In other words, people's taste buds may differ from one another but eventually they would prefer homemade than factory baked cookies. 

As for me, I do indeed favour homemade cookies if I were to purchase. It is vital to get good food and when it comes to food we certainly become picky. So when I do get to indulge myself with foods or other delicacies that really gives my taste buds an edge in taste then I would surely recommend it to others without a doubt.
Nurul's Delights Speciality Pineapple Tarts
Talking about pineapple tarts alone would just make any tart fans drool over it and that includes me, guilty as charged. On any occasions, if I would bumped into this luxurious delicacy I would not hesitate to try one out. Yes indeed it is a bad habit to plunge towards something that is your favourite, but I can't help it. At some times I would just stop at one or two and if my cravings yearns for more well say I would tops go four or five depending on the taste of it. 

Then I met up with an old time friend (in terms of long time no see friend and not old in age to be exact) she gave me a bottle of her homemade Pineapple Tarts bearing the name Nurul's Delights. Okey, the looks of the jam certainly looks tempting at that time and I had to drool down to the last drop till I reached home to taste it.

WOW! One, two, three, four, five and on and on and on! Couldn't possibly stop just at that point. I called her up and said that I LOVED it! The fine texture of her homemade tarts was perfect for a tart fan like me and even the jam had a pleasant taste. At that point, I knew her pineapple tarts would be a hit amongst tart lovers. 
Nurul's Delights London Almond Cookies

After indulging myself with pineapple tarts from Nurul's Delights, I was then offered to taste her homemade London Almond Cookies. Personally, if her pineapple tarts are so savoury to my taste buds, I would say that any of her homemade cookies should come up to my expectations in taste and I wouldn't say no to such offer. 

Yes, indeed I was correct! Nothing more is need to be said about it's taste and texture. Just biting into the biscuit itself brings a delightful sensation combination of baked biscuits coated with fine texture of chocolate dip. Nothing beats the taste of good chocolate doesn't it?
Nurul's Delights Sugee Biscuits
Indulgence after indulgence! How I love my life. For my last pick of cookies from Nurul's Delights today, Sugee Biscuits. Everyone knows the that if you want to have Sugee Biscuits to eat, it better taste good. And it all comes to how does it taste? Undoubtedly, the taste was so rich and with that beautiful melting texture in the mouth, I'd say even you will ask for more. Take my word for it! For if it is good then it is good!

For those interested to get indulged into Nurul's Delights range of cookies as I happily did, here is their contact number :

Write What You Love & Love What You Write


Why do I want to write? What encouraged me to write? Everyone has a tell tale on how they got into writing. Some may say it is their line of work, some may say they do it for the sake of writing but naturally pure writers would just answer that it is their passion that brought them to write. Me? I wanted to write because of my passion with my other half in crafts.

We started off our lives like other people would, get a job, settle down and have a family. As time goes by, the sudden urge of doing something different. We wanted to do something that we could share together. So we end up starting doing lots of things. 

Applying the trial and error concept, we then started to get back into my old hobby which was weaving. Back then when  I was in school, I learned the rattan technique. As time goes by, I found that I wanted to weave but using a different source which is much easier to obtain, newspaper.

My love of my life then got hooked up with the idea of weaving from newspaper. Imagine him an ex-army person now into the crafts line. We eventually loved the same thing. Through the years, we manage to evolve and blend our ideas and diversify ways in generating products that would have a certain edge in design.

We suddenly had an aim to bring our field of crafts to a higher level. We didn't want what we love and passion for just static at one point and no improvement at all. We imagine to see our products bearing our name at strategic places and if possible in every home. It may seem a dream far to achieve, but we are determine that it will be a dream come true one day.

Building up a name for our company Asrina Craft Enterprise is no easy task. We had to endure all kinds of barriers to become where we are today. Still there is much to do and learn. For the passion is our motivation to go further. 
Putting Passion Into Action
Putting passion into action is what we believe in since day one. So, if you have a dream and you want to realise it, never stop at anything. Never be afraid to fall in the progress, for you shall stand up a better person after that. Everyday is a learning process and we shall learn every second till the last breath.

Cinta Dalam Kehidupan

Cinta Di Dalam Kehidupan


Cinta di dalam kehidupan. Satu perspektif yang amat luas dari segi pandangan sudut yang berbeza. Cinta itu sendiri amat subjektif. Ianya mempunyai pengertian yang amat luas. Kalimah cinta juga mampu menjadikan seseorang insan itu mempunyai pelbagai variasi perasaan yang ada kalanya membawa kepada kesan yang amat baik atau terkadang tersalah sasar dari batas-batas kehidupan.

Kekuatan cinta mampu membina keteguhan di dalam suatu perhubungan dan ianya juga mampu untuk meruntuhkan dasar keimanan seseorang. Kita sendiri akan terkesima dengan bagaimana hanya ungkapan kalimah lima abjad ini mampu menggegarkan dunia kehidupan. 

Apakah makna cinta? Cinta itu adalah suatu perasaan kasih sayang yang mendalam terhadap seseorang dan cinta itu juga bermakna suatu perasaan yang mendalam terhadap suatu minat yang membawa kepada keseronokan dan kebahagiaan jiwa.

Oleh itu, jika dalam diri anda ada cinta, hargailah cinta itu dan semailah ia dengan segala kasih sayang dan tanggungjawab. 

Ini adalah 'posting' pembuka kata saya di sini dan secara bebas saya akan menulis sekali-sekala di dalam dwibahasa.
