Get rid of clutter

Do you spend your precious weekends tidying the drawers, your closet, your handbag?
Me? Yes..
Last saturday...ialah hari mengemas....secara besar2an. Kalau nak cari barang tak jumpa2 or ambik masa yang lama...itu tanda2 besar... BILIK anda harus di organize!!
Kemas...memang la kemas...bersih memang la bersih ...tapi tak semestinya organized. Especially tempat2 tersembunyi...
Serious? Yes!! Ini buktinya...hahhaha

Macam tongkang pecah...hehehe.Chaotic...!!

Macam2 ada..dalam drawer tepi katil...kebanyakannya penting...tapi tu la..bersepah.
Ada surah yassin, sampul duit raya tahun bila ntah, buku train your brain, ubat nyamuk, pita ukur lilit nak ukur lengan dan berharap lenganku akan kurus esok paginya, cream selulit sendayu tinggi, compass...takut sesat dalam bilik tidur agaknya,torchlight, aussino discount card yang dah expired, handphone yang dah rosak,ubat selsema , tiger balm...ish...ish...macam2.

Bila dah susun ...sejuk mata memandang

Tapi, tak tau la bertahan sampai bila....
Itulah my kelemahan...No matter how I sort, shuffle, and stack...bila nak cepat , bz ...jadi kelam kabut.The areas still end up cramped, and cluttered....

I need solution...solution...think..think

so...next project...organizing my drawer..using drawer divider...project satu rumah ni.. :)

I think dividers are an ideal solution for organizing tiny things like stationary...keep everything neat.

my next project..

Both of us...kerja memang IT area...so our laptop will travel from living & dining area, room to room, but we always seem to end up working in our bedroom :)..nice lighting, cozy and boleh tgk tv....ngantuk...terus tidur...
Simple way to keep our bedroom organized and our bed tak messy...guna je la apa yang ada....

tak boleh nak spend beli benda2 baru sekarang ni...jimat cermat.

Tengah kemas2 tu...just nak share...
How organized is your purse?
Mine...whusshh..Semua nak sumbat...resit la ...duit la..Kadang2...nak buang resit terbuang duit...
Habit dari dulu...tak dapek den nak nolong.



How organized is your handbag?What's in your handbag?

My friends selalu kata...kin beg kau ni berat macam batu.So gurlzzz...ni la apa yang ada dalam my handbag.. business card + membership card holder purse,hphone, purse,bedak, lipstick, lipgloss, oil control, pass card , pen, camera...kalau pergi kerja..wajib ada external hard disk, buku kecik...ha??camne tak berat. Belum lagi tambah duit syiling yang makin banyak bila di campak2 je dalam beg.Tapi kalau tak bawak benda2 ni...rasa tak complete.

So readers..what's in your handbag?

Weekend fun outdoor activities.

Tasik Permaisuri is a great place to jog, dekat je dengan my parent house at Bandar Tun Razak.
It has a great lake and a lot of parks which are great for jogging, aerobic, tai chi, cycling..etc
Jog in a park, by lakeside, or a scenic environment sungguh best!!

Rasa release sangat2...asyik duduk dalam closed rooms, office surroundings, and workplaces.

Go out and get some morning fresh air...

Enjoy the great outdoors while a part of it is still there for you to enjoy.

Enjoy playing badminton....

Play around.
Stand up....and move



you won't regret it.

akhirnya..I am lying on the bed with all my kaki sakit2...haha

Macam2 aktiviti kat tasik ni. Taichi..

Free aerobic...just join the crowd je..

Orang jual sayur2 segar pun ada..



Orang main badminton...15 min dah penat pun ada...haha


macam2 ada..

Happy wife..

Start this week, my husband dah tak kerja night shift lagi. Yayyy....back to normal. Boleh buat aktiviti2 harian seperti biasa. Cuti pun dah sama..boleh plan betul2 vacation or weekend activities. Best2. Kalau tak..susah nak manage masa. Yang paling tak best, bila time shift malam. I nak pergi kerja, dia baru balik.

Things I miss the most...feeling bila bangun pagi2 before pergi kerja, kecoh2 kejutkan dia, berebut toilet, berebut paper The Star, sementara nak pergi kerja tu, tv pun boleh berebut. Dia nak tgk sport, I nak tengok hallmark or oprah. Haha.

One of the things I most enjoy doing is preparing breakfast.
Malam tu dah pikir nak masak apa untuk breakfast esok..normally yang senang and cepat la...

Nasi goreng cina , just taruk telur and udang (my husband suka sangat ni)? Scrambled eggs with butter and fresh milk?How about just toasting a few pieces of bread ? Or just healthy cereal?

Bila dah kawin..my lifestyle wouldn’t be mine anymore, any change of my lifestyle will affecting many people... but... I really enjoy doing it....with love of coz.

My own personal favourite is the scrambled eggs. But the amount of butter in this dish might scare off health-conscious ...hahhaha

Best masa break fast, baca paper, makan roti...sambil borak2 or bring up a new argument.

Simple and healthy breakfast pun dah cukup...yang penting breakfast together kat rumah.

Ni la muka orang yang dah lama tak bangun pagi2 pergi kerja.Pastu frust...kena tgk oprah pagi2.

Twenties Girl

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella is another my fav book!

Excited bila jumpa buku ni kat kedai buku ampcorp mall last 2 weeks..sebab tak tau pun dia ada new book.
Bila baca summary about the book...WOW...it was a ghost story of sorts I was thrilled..sekarang kan tengah hot...cite hantu..hantu ni.

read...read...read...

I laughed, got teary eyed a few times and then laughed some more bila baca..3 hari...working days tau...boleh habiskan baca.


Lara is a typical Kinsella character I would say.Kelakar, witty and has a certain wacky charm that makes you like her...
Bermula dengan dia attending her great aunt's funeral.
A great aunt that she doesn't know at all,even family dia pun tak kenal sangat...cukup syarat je attanding funeral ni.
Nama Great Aunt dia...Sadie.
Sadie lived to be a hundred and five and has been in a 'rumah orang tua' for years.
Sadly, for her, semua yang dia kenal had never bothered to visit her or pay her any attention.

Paling best, masa funeral.. Lara starts hearing someone asking about a necklace.
Bila tengok sekeliling tak nampak sesiapa pun but can still hear the voice.
Then she sees a young lady... Of course no one else can see her...only Lara.
It happens to be Aunt Sadie when she was much younger - in her twenties .
She is screaming at Lara to stop the funeral until her necklace can be found. Hillarious masa ni!!

Berjaya ke Lara stop the Funeral?And will the ghost of Aunt Sadie drive Lara completely crazy? Diorang akan jadi bestfriend ke?Kena beli and baca..

Believe me..Aunt Sadie is quite the character and sampai sekarang teringat2.Tambah pulak...now cerita HOUSE kat tv pun, Dr. House tengah gila bercakap
dengan hantu.Lagi la teringat2...Bila tak nak nampak macam orang gila...bercakap sorang2...diorang letak bluetooth handsfree kat telinga...konon2...
tengah cakap phone.

Aunt Sadie.. was a young lady in the twenties...so dia hidup still dengan apa yang popular masa zaman dia la.
She forced Lara into dressing like a twenties girl complete with the dress, jewelry and hair style. It was hilarious!Pecah perut gelak..
Pakai lipstik pun pakai kertas merah lagi kedap kat bibir.


Kinsella books are usually fun and chick-lity...tapi yang ni had a bit deeper message for me.Kita dapat menyelami perasaan orang
tua yang ditinggalkan kat rumah orang tua...and apa sebenarnya yang dilalui masa muda...sebelum kena biarkan sorang2 terkontang kanting.


Those who are Sophie Kinsella fans......mesti suka buku ni.So...Give it a shot.

My next book...nak cari buku under her real name 'Madeleine Wickham'.

Back after a long time...

It's been a long time since I last blogged. Banyak sangat kerja & training kat office which has kept me very busy.....Banyak benda actually nak share dengan kawan2, tapi nanti la...slow2.Pelan2 kayuh... :). Ni pun update sikit2 dalam training class...Now still ada training kat Amcorp Mall, tapi nak tunggu tak bz...tak update blog la sampai bila2.Kat Amcorp Mall ni best, kedai dia macam2, pelik2.Banyak kedai yang jual collection item macam tea set..pinggan lama2, baju yang murah2 tapi cantik, kedai cotton...yang jual kain cotton yang confirm takde kat jakel or euro moda..Paling best...kedai buku dia banyak sangat.Ada kedai jual music magazine je, ada banyak kedai jual new imported magazine, but with the cheaper price, and yang paling best, kedai yang jual buku2 and majalah2 terpakai. Buku yang susah nak dapat, limited edition banyak kat kedai ni.

Last three weeks, kat office, macam2 la keje urgent kena buat. Training Cisco, propose new project...ha ni nampak macam senang, tapi proposal tu...rasa2nya dah 10 kali tukar kot.BOD tak approve la,marketing kata tak boleh jual la. Tapi Alhamdulillah, bos email semalam kata project dah approved. So, lepas ni makin bz la.Workload makin banyak..Sibuk nak Demo previous project kat custodian , kat ceo la.Audit la...macam2 ...semuanya last minute. Tu yang kelam kabut.Kuku kaki pun dah panjang lupa nak potong..

.

Demo project untuk custodian, nak close project...

Last 3-4 weeks , my FIL tak sihat. Lama masuk hospital.More than 6 days rasanya. Sesak nafas macam tu la.Oksigen tak cukup dalam badan. Makin teruk tu, sebab musim durian. Kat pahang durian memang la banyak bila musim...longgok tepi2 jalan depan rumah je.Dia memang tak boleh makan durian, tapi bila musim, anak2 balik, pokok belakang rumah je...anak2 & menantu pulak hantu durian..tu yang tak tahan agaknya...
My MIL, siap bekalkan 2 balang tempoyak..untuk puasa. tapi baru2 ni..dia jadi sambal durian la...sebab still manis. Ish...ish sedapnya...taruk cili padi banyak2, makan dengan nasik panas, ikan masin sepat dengan pajeri nenas taruk kicap manis cap kipas udang.

Masa balik pahang, singgah rumah kakak ipar...petik duku langsat, bawak balik KL ...sedapp...maniss.

My house pun, dah nak siap, around October. So, sibuk jugak round tengok2, nakbeli la sikit2 sebelum masuk rumah.Nanti beli sekaligus, takut terduduk je.Now, tengah jalan2 nak survey lampu, mintak quotation sana sini. Kena banyak mintak opinion from otai2 ... :)...alang and maksu. Mana murah...mana elok.Ye la...sebelum ni asyik beli barang Ikea je...murah and cantik. Lepas ni ada rezeki lebih sikit...upgrade la sikit...but still takde la yang mahal2 sangat.

Yang paling taknak and takut terjadi, bila kita sibuk cari duit,kerja...quality time with family tu takde. Mintak dijauhkan. Alhamdulillah, I manage tu bahagikan masa...with family.Kita penat...cari duit pun, kalau tak ada kebahagiaan dalam keluarga, takde kasih sayang dalam hidup, duit bergunung pun tak guna.

Alhamdulillah, I masih ada masa keluar with my husband buat benda yang kitorang suka,habiskan masa with my mak and abah. Penat macam mana pun,sibuk macam mana pun, I still can manage untuk bawak diorang jalan2,keluar makan, sedar bila diorang tak sihat...sebab mak abah selalu tak bagitau kalau sakit ke apa...especially abah.Takut orang hantar dia jumpa Dr. Buat la sedaya yang boleh, berbakti lah selagi diorang hidup...or selagi kita dipinjamkan nyawa.

Alhamdulillah, I masih ada masa spend together with my maksu to celebrate her birthday (walaupun sebenarnya dah terlupa...sowiii maksu),jumpa budak konit dua orang yang dah pandai cakap banyak, jumpa my cousin ...bergosip cerita2 hangat(nur...ada gosip..jangan lupa bgtau.. :)),luangkan masa pergi house warming rumah along..jumpa alang...borak dengan ayan and baru tau ayan ni kawan dengan si Yuna (yan, kak kin nak beli seluar macam yuna), keluar makan2 with my adik ipar, keluar shopping with my kawan2..berkongsi rasa duka with kawan2 rapat bila diorang sedih...syukur sangat2.

Masa Mega Sale kat Robinson...dapat beli semua ni below RM100.

Tgk MU vs Malaysia kat Bukit Jalil. Part of my anniversary present.

My fav pix...:). Ryan Giggs.. daripada sekolah minat dia ni...

Enjoy the moment...walaupun my husband Liverpool fan..layann je la

Ni gambar nostalgia...masa tgk MU jugak...tahun berapa ntah diorang datang Malaysia sebelum ni. 2000 kot. Masa ni muda remaja lagi...hahahahaa.Tak rasa penat pun berebut2.Bayar tiket paling murah...lepas tu menyelinap duduk tempat mahal. Tangga pun tangga la....

Ni la, 3-arm classic chandelier yang kitorang dah book untuk our new house. Beli 2 untuk living room..untuk dining area takde yang berkenan lagi. kalau berkenan pun...duitnya pulak yang tak berkenan.

Dalam 2 minggu lepas jugak, my best friend..Jai...kehilangan ibu yang tercinta..telah kembali ke rahmatullah.Kebetulan, I cuti hari tu.Terus je pergi rumah Jai, bagi sokongan...setakat yang mampu..Jai...kuat ye...Allah lebih sayangkan dia...Kita berdoa semoga roh nya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan dikalangan orang yang beriman...amin. Jai..kitorang sentiasa ada...bila kau perlukan sokongan kitorang...Jai mesti KUAT & TABAH!!

Sama jugak untuk John, yang baru je kehilangan ayah tersayang.Baru je borak dengan John kat facebook pagi tadi... Alhamdulillah...dia nampak kuat. Dah boleh buat lawak...as usual..nanti la kita buat small gathering...jumpa ...borak2...bagi semangat to each other ek..

Friends.... through difficult times.

Sometimes it is you that needs the extra support, and sometimes it is your friend. It is hard to see friends go through difficulties, but there are things we can do to help them in their time of need.

Suka sangat dengan gambar ni..

Preserve ur memories and look at them – for years to come

Online Photo Printing made easy.

Banyak betul gambar2 lama yang dalam computer yang tak ber print.
Memang ada sesetengah orang fikir there’s no reason to develop print your photos anymore since the creation of digital camera and computer. Hmm...My personal opinion...I love to see my pix, my personal accomplishments, my joy no matter how little it is ... in print. Baru puas.

Sambil survey2 mana murah and dekat kat cyberjaya ni...ye la, selalu pergi ampang park..kat sana murah but too far la... terjumpa website EOE Online Photo Printing Service - http://www.eoe.com.my.

I decided to get some of my favourite photos printed out , nak cuba dulu tgk service dia cepat and gambar dia cantik tak.Ye la...different shops would have different colour profile, just like our monitors.Tapi, bila tgk murah and senang je cara dia, tak sedar 261 keping I upload untuk print.
To qualify for the free delivery, minimum kena RM35.00. It only took 2 days...wow! Petang Isnin upload, hari ni dah dapat...

Hari ni, when I dapat and holding pix yang i order it felt really good coz result dia...its turned out to be so nice and acceptable.

Try la. It's so easy & convenient coz..

-guna normal browser upload to upload the pictures into the server, walaupun ambik masa sikit, takpe...sambil2 tu boleh buat kerja...
-ada interbank payment, takyah pakai credit card...yang confirm akan memudaratkan anda (sambil tangan tunjuk kat diri sendiri)
-service yang cepat
-murah

My day started with a meeting...yawnnn

.
.

lepas tu...turun lunch, lalu kat lobby...

Yayyy...I am so happy. Freaking happy! I got the package today...
