I had My First Time...

To be at The Gardens, Midvalley (kesian!). All this while only OU and at The Surian Area sebab dekat,

pics googled

And dine at Alexis for the first time! Very impressed with their superb, friendly and fast service and to our surprise, the waiter told us in advance (without us having to ask first) on certain menu that contains wine. We had pizza and soup tapi frust sebab tak dapat rasa their signature dessert, Pavlova.

And I bought my first Itti & Otto pumps. I've been searching for a comfy flat pumps and finally found it. It's black and boring but me likey and it has the best deal and has my size that's major importante'.

Happiness.

My Indulgence

Walaupun bonus raya entah dapat entah kan tidak, dan bonus akhir tahun macam tidak mungkin sebanyak 6 bulan seperti tahun lepas,

** melainkan jikalau You, You and You terus menyokong kereta tempatan bukan yang pertama itu,**

Alhamdulillah, after eyeing it for months jadi pada pagi ahad lepas, without hesitate terus ker AverAwards, Cineleisure. I love their friendly and helpful service.

Makanya wishlist saya yang ketiga sudah dicapai. Walaupun hanya 1000D tapi jadi lah for a beginner like me. Lagipun rasa berat untuk spend another thousand to get 450D.


Sangat berpuas hati.

Dream(s) That Have Yet To Realize.

Alhamdulillah, I am blessed with a husband and child, both in laws family and mine as the backbone. But being human, we can never satisfied with current condition. Mesti want 'more' and same goes to me. Jadi tak salah to have a dream. Apa yang penting, how we gonna work to achieve that? Bak kata pepatah, " Shoot for the moon, even if we miss, we'll end up among the stars". Jadi saya should shoot tinggi lagilah, just to get the moon. Tak gitu?

Buat masa sekarang, ada 3 item yang masih belum dapat di cross dari our wishing lists.

1) To have our own dream home.

Rumah yang disediakan oleh PIL sekarang Alhamdulillah, selesa. But we want more. Insyaallah when duit dah cukup and everything went smoothly before we hit the big 3-0. and yay! It will be built in own land. Kawan-kawan, tolong doakan saya ya because we are soooo want this. Nanti saya jemput ke housewarming party kenduri okey?

2. To drive a Nissan Grand Livina Impul.

Buat masa sekarang, saya tangkap leleh dengan besi yang gagah ini. Tapi mr husband tak suka. Kalau ada duit 200 ribu jatuh dari langit sekarang, saya terus sambar kaler putih.hihihi. Sekarang ni, niat untuk berkereta baru makin tebal sejak my Satria asik breakdown aje. Tapi saya sayang dia sebab banyak berjasa. Dia sudah tua, mileage pun sudah exceeds 200,000 km. Jadi apa yang perlu saya expect kan? Tapi, jika beli kereta baru and have to go through another 7-9 years of hire -purchase loan sanggupkah saya? Bagaimana mahu membina rumah idaman kalau macam ni? Ok, hands down. rumah dulu. Priority please! Atau minta-minta KTM komuter mahu buat pit stop di Sg Choh. Sudah, sudah. Jangan terlampau beyond imagination!

3. Canon EOS 450D

Saya mahu ini. Sumpah! kerana saya suka ambil gambar. Diulang ya, I love to take pictures, not to get pictured. Some people might find it not convenient as it appears too bulky lah, not handy lah. But not for me. Kerana I believe I have an eye for photography. Lagipun, mahu mengabdikan kenangan anak-anak. Sayang ya, tak dapat capture gambar Sarah melompat, sebab belum sempat di snap oleh digital camera Sony Cybershot itu, kaki sudah jatuh ketanah. Tapi sebenarnya, it doesn't necessary pun to have a DSLR to get good picture pun. With the correct angle and good lighting pasti boleh. Dengan Sony Cybershot tu pun boleh. (thanks to online tutorial yang banyak membantu!) Yang penting kena rajin mencuba. Tapi to have one is an advantage lah. Boleh feeling-feeling photographer gitu. hihihi. Last two months, hampir-hampir sign up with one photography class, but since I had problem with the Paypal registration, terus pending sampai sekarang. Nampaknya have to change plan, maybe to get this and go for that EOS class lagi berbaloi agaknya?

Harap-harap, our bonus this year (as if there is any)won't reduce much lower than before. Atau ada siapa antara kawan-kawan mahu menghadiahi saya? Btw, my birthday is just less than 5 months. Early gifts are much welcome! ;D

Kain Raya Updates

As in previous entry, tadaaa...

Takdelah seberapa pun, tema tahun ini ialah warna kuning cair. Ia di pilih berdasarkan kain baju kurung Sarah, sebab saya berkenan betul cotton corak bunga kuning itu. Rasanya, kalau Sarah pakai tentu sweet sekali.

Ada cerita di sebalik pembelian kain-kain itu.

1) Saya baru tahu yang cotton ni ada banyak jenis. Selama ini asyik ingat yang cotton itu adalah murah. Rupa-rupanya tidak sebab ia ada banyak jenis. Macam dekat Jakel, adalah yang harga RM 4.50 semeter tapi mak aaiihhh..punyelah keras. Then, ada yang Rm 20 dan RM 33 semeter. Tapi kainnya lembut dan sejuk. Berbaloi dengan harga. Bila fikir-fikir, kalau beli dress untuk Sarah pun, harga lebih kurang sama. Jadi settled for that. Berbaloi pada saya.

2) Kain saya pula, sebenarnya harganya adalah 3X. selepas diskaun, jadi 2X. Siap dengan free lining sekali. Sekali bila bayar, dan dapat resit tengok-tengok cashier salah punch. Dia punch harga X. Saya mula-mula confuse sebab dah keluarkan cash, tapi bila bayar much lower than expected. Hihihi. sukeee... Bukan salah saya kan? dan saya percaya En Jakel pun tak marah..ngeeeee...

3) Kain mr husband pula, telah membuatkan dia menjengilkan mata beberapa kali kepada saya. Padan muka saya. Suami saya itu kan, cukup kuat berpeluh. Nasib baik tiada bau badan. Cuma kesian kalau tengok dia berpeluh lebih-lebih lagi bila pakai baju melayu. Jadi saya nak carikan (oh, bab-bab kain dia serah sepenuhnya kepada saya beserta ongkosnya) kain yang selesa, yang sejuk di pakai. SA (di Jakel bagus-bagus lah) itu promote kepada saya macam-macam jenis kain. Ada satu tu jenis Icy snow apekebenda tah. Design baru. Saya berkenan, walaupun harganya RM30 semeter. Tau-taulah kalau nak buat baju melayu kena pakai berapa meter kan? Tapi, suami saya tu kan being thrify jadi kena tanya dia dulu. Amboi bila di tanya menjengil mata dia pada saya. Walau saya convince dia pun tetap tak mahu. Nasib baiklah kain saya dia tak sekat. Lastly, settled for RM 16 semeter saja. Okay juga.

Yang ini untuk di pakai pada hari raya kedua, ketiga, so on and so forth. Tapi saya beli juga cotton yang RM 4.50 semeter untuk Sarah. Tu yang hujung kaler merah samar tu. Saja nak try. SA itu kata, kalau basuh dengan softener dia akan jadi lembut nanti.

Kain dah setel. Now nak hantar to tailor pula. Sepatutnya petang tadi tapi tailor saya adalah busy jadi minggu depan sudah. Jangan last minute cancel ambil tempahan sudah lah ye. Saya sedang bersemangat untuk matching-matching nih. ;D

Luggage, Swimsuit and Waroeng Penyet.

We already made plans for our weekend, that was to shop for a new luggage. I have mine but in a very small size. As a first time traveller with baby some more, of course we need more rooms to pack her diapers, FM and what not.

Well I thought it gonna be an awesome saturday, being able to go out as early as 10.00 am (that's early for us) but the true fact was tiresome. We started our day by having a late nasi lemak breakfast at my father's and after a few chit chatting, all of us started to doze off. The nasi lemak must be really something. But we didn't sleep anyway, and quickly headed to The Curve.

I was looking for a swimming gear for Sarah like an arm band but it is so pricey at Mothercare. I found one floating tube at The Early Years at a reasonable price but there was no stock for Sarah's age. I guess, we just buy it at any shops afterall only god knows when Sarah is able to use it again right?

We had our lunch at Waroeng Penyet. I always wanted to try eating there as there are so many good reviews about the food. This restaurant actually serve Indonesian food which to me it is not that ' MANTOP' as people always said. The good thing was the fast service and the bad things were the ambiance was hot and too crammed with so many people. But my husband really likes the food especially the Ayam penyet. We had Ayam penyet, ikan talapia bakar (which Riverside punye taste better!), nasi, keropok, es limau for mr husband and es milo dinasorus (which is actually milo ais with a sprinkle of milo on top of it). Overall it was just okay-okay aje lah.

We then headed to the Brands Outlet Store. I think every people must know this place. It's a heaven for a branded clothes especially for kids apparel. I love buying Sarah clothes here. It was not because I am into branded goods, but they always offer good clothes with pretty design and cute colors. And the best part the prices are 1/3 to 1/2 of the retail price. Yes, the cheap price is due to rejected goods but hey, be smart lah kan when making choices. Isn't that what women are specialized at? We are very detail kan... I will go for bargain store to find good clothes for Sarah because she grow up very fast and sekejap je baju dah sempit. I bought a few dress and clothes at GAP store and agak frust bila pakai sekali pastu dah tak muat dah. Hmmph!

Ah yes, we bought a cheap big luggage that for sure will fit in our clothes, and a few apparel for Sarah.

Notice that peach swimsuit? It's from GAP with only RM19.90 tau. and also the colorful baby tights with only RM16.90 each. and I really like the glittering, whitish cardigan from Debenhams. The price was 70% slashed and it is really cheap. and wanna see my baby model for the swimsuit..?

Tada...

Isk.Longgar lah.. Model pun muka masam jer sebab tak fit. Hisap paci lagi besh.

I didn't bought any baju for me but I indulge in these..

Nyum..nyum.. a perfect combination with a chessecake and it's a double indulgence. Walla~

I Am Officially Broke.

Never been in my entire life, i felt this guilty of my spending. All this while, i have been very careful and choosy when buying things. I really value my hard earn money and spending it like nobody's business is just so not me.

I have been thinking about my March purchased for the past weeks. Although I never failed to save certain RM of the total salary every month, I still felt something is just not right. No, it is not because I have been absorbed with so many kinds of investment, future and finance planning from certain friends who are so into these things nowadays. Maybe they kinda so-called influence me but still in a good way. So let see, what have been bugging my mind at the moment.

3 years ago, when I earned (A), I save (X).

But now,

I already earn (C), but I still save (X)

Now, dah clearly seen my flaw kan?

Bolehlah if nak sedapkan hati sendiri lalu mengeluarkan statement begini.

3 years ago, when I earned (A), I save (X) and I don't have a baby

But now,

I already earn (C), but I still save (X) but I already have a baby.

Tapi still tak boleh pakai alasan ini because I only spent my salary for the babysitter and her clothing sometimes. People are so right when they comes with " Lebih besar periuk, lebih besar kerak nya" Adat manusia bila dah bergaji lebih mesti pada satu ketika ingin mendapatkan apa yang selama ini di hajati. Dan bila hajat telah dipenuhi, ia akan leads to another hajat and another, akhirnya sehingga kita sendiri takkan rasa puas. Apabila hajat kita tidak dapat diperolehi, jadi apa yang kita nak buat? Duduk diam membisu atau berusaha untuk mencapai hajat itu. Dan beusaha pada saya ada dua cara;-

1) Either usaha untuk menjana extra income dengan cara ini still dapat splurge and save more. Cuma perlu lebih sacrifice ya.

ataupun,

2) Mengubah cara perbelanjaan. I think this one lebih applicable dengan saya. Tak occupied (mungkin another alasan saja) untuk buat part time job. Bila difikir-fikir balik, my spending is totally out of control. Mungkin saya exaggerate sikit, tak lah out of control sangat sebab I tak charge to my cc, and kalau ikutkan I still can afford to buy that. Cuma, bila di fikir kan semula, how nice kan, instead of I spend it, lebih baik contribute to my saving like instead of (C), I should save (E) by now and bayangkan keseronokannya bila sudah ada (J), boleh terus membina rumah impian dengan bantuan pinjaman mungkin sebanyak 30K. atau kalau terer boleh terus kumpul sampai (M). Errr...faham kah anda apa yang saya cuba mention disini?

Sometimes, saya terfikir yang why can't I be the old myself? Diri saya yang 3 tahun dulu:-

1) Takde sibuk-sibuk nak pakai M.A.C macam sekarang dan berpuas hati dengan Silkygirl kerana ia berupaya menutup bekas jerawat yang banyak memberi wajah yang segar bermekap.

2) Hanya pakai produk Olay Total Effects je dan rasa bila beli 5 sheet masks berharga RM 49.90 terasa sangat mahal, tapi beli juga kerana sebulan sebelum berkahwin tiba-tiba muka dijangkiti jerawat yang sangat banyak selepas menggunakan produk Natasya. Tapi sekarang kenapa gatal muka nak pakai produk Kose? Tapi saya mengaku a few friends complimented my face after pakai produk ni. Boleh kah ini menjadi excuse?

3) Kenapa dulu boleh berdiet sendiri-sendiri, kawal makan sendiri dan siap ada book journal yang di secretly di tulis dan di calculate pengambilan kalori seharian? Kenapa dulu boleh buat excercise keliling tasik Uniten 3 round non stop? Tapi kenapa sekarang sibuk nak consume HL **laugh**poco-poco**laugh** itu? Mana boleh kurus macam itu saja? At least mesti excersice. Speaking of the diet kan, saya ada seorang kawan yang saya adore atas kesungguhan dia untuk menguruskan badan. Tak percaya? cuba klik sini. Korang sure kagum dengan dia.

Eh..eh, saya dah melalut banyak dah ni. Okay.okay cerita sebenarnya ialah saya geram sebab dah berbelanja lebih tak according to my plan.

Alkisahnya, ingat tak last week saya nak beli Kose Emulsion tapi beauty advisor dekat Kose The Curve takde? Jadi, I planned to get one last Sunday. Kebetulan, nak accompany my sis to buy her wedding bedsheet at Aussino. I received a letter from Kose a few days before that and they are having a promo on the newly launched product called SHIROSUMI. So this shirosumi essence is claimed to achieve baby-soft skin and zero spot. Plus, there is an additional gift for the purchase as well.

I ignored the promo at first because konon-konon wanna stick to the plan and the Shirosumi is quite pricey for a 30 ml essence. Tapi entah macam mana, bila dah berborak-borak with the beauty advisor, saya terus intrigued and agreed to buy that. Not only the Shirosumi, but I bought the cleanse powder too but it is still okay. Saya cuma regret of buying the Shirosumi because my usual Kose emulsion costs only RM 158 but with 140 ml. But this Shirosumi is 30 ml and the price is RM 188. The emulsion lasts me for 6 months but this shirosumi? I just don't know yet. I felt very regret for buying that and fell into the promise of " achieving baby soft skin and zero spot". Kalau muka saya tak licin macam Sarah, siaplah..

Rembatan yang menyakitkan kepala.

Can I achieve a flawless skin like hers?

This is my major fault for this month. I shall stay away from shopping malls kalau nak duit selamat. Itupun, pada hari yang sama, nyaris-nyaris nak beli buku "Malaysian Politicians Say The Darndest Things" tapi tak beli sebab macam tak worth. Tapi ia hilarious lah.. sempat sneak peek kat Borders hari tu.

Jadi, apa countermeasure untuk perilaku terlampau saya ni? Diri sendiri cadangkan:-

1) Hari-hari makan nasi lauk sambal tempe sahaja di cafe supaya suatu hari nanti muka saya licin berseri seperti Dr Khir Toyo dan tak perlu memakai Kose.

2) Hari-hari balik lalu jalan short cut dari Kilang Lafarge ke Kuang dan bersedia menempuh dugaan pokok tumbang dan wear and tear kereta saya. Absorbers ya..dah rasa tau.

3) Cuba untuk mix HL dengan air sahaja dan bukan less sugar soy bean untuk cut cost.

4) Hujung minggu sila lah masak di rumah dan menjadikan kitchen sebagai second bestfriend.

5) Cepat-cepat claim medical Sarah.

Ini aja yang saya dapat fikirkan setakat ini. 16 days to go before the pay day, and yet I am officially broke. ;(

Thou Shalt Not Shop.

I went for a shopping yesterday. Well, not exactly 'shopping' but more to get my hands on the must-have necessaties. Although i am in a mode of so-called 'berjimat cermat', but why on earth that my beauty skin care has to finish now? Like now? When everybody are supposed to save than to spend?Having said that, i just have to go to SOGO to pick my brooch that I sent a month ago at Kenji for servicing. Urgghhh! I don't like the service that they don't even notify me that my brooch is ready. Another reason is to get my M.A.C Studio Fix. I always love M.A.C counter at Sogo because they will always, always, without failed entertain me. (and I believe others too.)

and I love the product as well. It's worth the money for the quality and coverage and it last me for barely 5 to 6 months. I tepek sehari 2-3 kali.

When I thought that there are supposed no crammed at the mall because I foresaw that Jalan Raja Laut is so empty with no traffic jam at all. But as we turned to Jalan T.A.R, my goodness! the traffic was reaalll bad. Not to mention the people in Sogo. Ramai ok with the endless sales and I guess the recession does not give much impact to them, or they (will never) don't feel the impact just yet?

We only spent 30 minutes there since we can't stand the lotsa people and headed to The Curve instead. Main agenda:-

1) To buy the table top for Sarah's highchair at Ikea.

2) To buy new shoe for Sarah at Mothercare. It's on sale kan?

3) To buy Kose Emulsion since mine is going to finish very soon.

See, i am making a list now so more impulse buy anymore. But none of the agenda was fulfilled because;

1) No more stock. Sarah punye highchair nampak togel aje.

2) Shoes at MC The Curve were all blah! But we got one at Orivo (spell check?) in pink. I don't really like the color. Why on earth all girls stuff has to be in pink, red or white? You see, sometimes we parent have no choice. Most of girl clothes are in pink, red or white so we have no other options but have to buy it. Just look at MC, all the collections are in these colors. Nasib baik comel juge..

3) Yang ni nak marah sebab the actual promoter wasn't there. She went for a dinner break and was temporarily replaced by other promoter that belongs to other cosmetic counter. I thought of asking about the eye treatment essence. Obviosly, that girl didn't know and asked me to wait for another 40 minutes. Though i can buy the emulsion as per shopping list, i still need to asked about the eye essence. Mana lah tau, kut-kut rasa intrigued and if the total amount is RM350 and above, I could have the 7 miniature Kose sets for free. Kan berbaloi tu? So anyway, I didn't buy it. Shall come again (god-knows-when) next time. At the moment, haruslah berdikit-dikit guna yang dah tinggal sikit tu.

I loike this product since it suits me and gave me a significant difference on my skin. Love this to bits. 140 ml cost me RM 158 and will last me for 6 months. It's really value for money.

Mr husband wanted to buy Ikea's curry puff but the queue was soooo long. As he tak sanggup to queue, we settled for Burger King and Dunkin Donut. Apa lah makna nya kami membeli sampai 9 ketul sinful donut itu?

So, that's about my weekend. I succesfully dragged mr husband to the shopping mall. Itu pun because his worker was sick and he can't proceed with the job alone. Anyway, gracias Mr. Husband.

My Mammut

Sarah,

mama dah tak backache lagi sebab dah beli Mammut. Mammut sungguh merah dan best. Mama sangat suka. Perhaps Sarah nak tengok cemana Mammut ni kan?

Ni lah dia, ini dari pandangan depan mama. Sarah yang dekat belakang tu dalam buaian.

Dan sambil-sambil ber blog dan pantau memantau Sarah nih, mama menikmati float dan coklat Crunchie, jadi bila Sarah dah besar dan baca blog ni, Sarah akan dapat jawapan kenapa mama tak berapa kurus.

Tapi, mama tahu yang Sarah sangat baik dan pandai mengambil hati mama lalu Sarah akan berkata " Mama lah orang yang paling cantik dalam dunia ni tau" . Betul kan?

Shopping Raya

Last monday, both me and hubby took a leave sebab nak settle kan our things. End up, that thing habis awal pulak around 10 am. Kami headed straight to Sogo to shop for raya. This year first time raya ada baby jadi mestilah nak meriah-meriah sikit. Since sampai awal, dapatlah park kat B1. Best betul2 depan entrance. As usual Sogo memang ramai orang tapi tak seramai manusia during the member's card sale. Alhamdulillah, dapat shopping dengan jayanya. Hubby was very excited sebab men's clothing murah-murah belaka.

Hasil shopping selama 4 jam

Ni pula baju Sarah. Nothing branded, just ordinary brand kat Sogo tu..

Ni pula, mama punya stuff. Kasut tu beli kat Sogo, memula usha the same Hush Puppies yang rabak tu, tapi less 10% aje jadi rm 218. isk..tak jadi beli. Then kat Bonia ada sale and harganya pun rm 149 only. Beli aje lah, kebetulan ada size, kasut makcik pun makcik lah.. The tudungs beli kat Turkuaz Boutique. Sangat suka butik ni sebab designnyer different walaupun agak pricey than kedai lain. Terus apply member's card. Next time beli boleh dapat less. Untung besar. As of now, dah 8 helai beli kat situ. More to come insyaallah. This boutique located betul2 opposite sogo. Tak yah nak jalan jauh-jauh sampai ke Jalan Bunus tu.

Tu je, hubby punye stuff tak payah tunjuk sebab boring..hahaha..men's clothing nothing fancy kan..kan.. tapi hubby lah manusia antara kami tiga orang yang shopping paling banyak on that day. Oh ye, on the way back terus singgah ke Ikea untuk beli Mammut desk yang di wish kan dalam blog..

Sarah, mama belum beli kuih raya satu pun lagi..

Baju raya pun belum siap lagi........................

The Day That I finally Bought It.

Finally I bought my first laptop. It's HP-Compaq and bought it at IT One @ One Utama. The SA was very helpful and friendly too. I decided to give a name , so let it be name 'Marc'. He is all that I need; black, sleek, reliable and most importantly he satisfy my current needs perfectly. Yaayy!! My new Compaq

And this is also the first time I use my CC. I never swipe my CC on any purchase because I reserve it for extremely emergency occasions. I will never buy anything that I couldn't afford and I rather wait than making more debts. But last Saturday, I HAVE to use it because first; the ATM machine at HBSB was not functioning and Second; A very-very long queue for ATM at OU that I need to spent 1 hr just for the queue. So, that's it! There goes my cc virginity.

Hence, I have to say goodbye to this ever berjasa desktop that was bought by my hubby back then.

or I shall pass this to Sarah once she grow up for her menggodek-godek supaya tak kacau laptop mama. Now, sebab takde desk , i have to use it sambil berbaring.. Habis badan ku.. All backache. Jadi next purchase haruslah beli desk. Actually, dah eyeing on this simple children's desk at Ikea. Comel.. It's striking and it's red.. Love it.
Suka....

Of Warehouse Sale.

As told in previous entry, hari jumaat tu gi Glenmarie for kaizen activity. KEBETULAN, ada Clarks's warehouse sale. Dah plan dengan Yanti, pkl 9 am-11 am: Kat service centre. Hari jumaat pulak tuh, lunch time kan lama, jadi maybe boleh lah singgah warehouse sale tu pastu, niat di hati nak singgah subang jaya service centre since sangat dekat dengan glenmarie. Habis je kerja kat glenmarie, terus gi warehouse sales itu and..

OMG! panjang sungguh barisan. 2 jam ok nak beratur. Tapi takpe, demi kasut murah, rela aku beratur panjang didalam kepanasan. I noticed that some people are complaining on the long queue and cursing so much. Hello, if you can't stand the long queue under the hot sun, go straight to the boutique ok.

The crowd.

2 orang yang tak penat beratur. Yang sebelah tu terlebih excited sampai senyum nampak gigi ;P

A few people also brought their baby together. I pity those babies. Some of them cried loudly. Mesti dorang dah panas, rimas pulak tu. Tetiba2 dalam hati jadi sangat emosional teringat dekat sarah. Lepas 2 jam beratur dan tolak menolak, dapat jugak lah masuk.. Wah, ramai betul manusia. Kasut pun banyak. Kalau sape kaki size gajah macam saya mesti dapat banyak pilihan. men's shoe pun boleh tahan. Memang diskaun gila. And then, nak bayar pulak queue masih panjang. Saya q, yanti jaga kasut2 kami. Lepas dah bayar, keluar dari tempat itu dengan senyum sampai ke telinga dan hidung kembang kempis. bangga beb, sebab dapat beli 4 kasut dengan harga RM *10 sahaja. Ok lah tu untuk kasut clark's kan?

Ni q untuk bayar pulak. Q untuk credit card lagi panjang dari q untuk cash.

Yanti tengah jaga kasut ;P

Kasut saya dan satu sandal untuk OH

Nak pi keta yang di park beribu batu pulak satu hal. tekak dah haus gile. cepat2 cari kedai untuk minum. Masa tu, dah pukul 2.30 pm dah. Nak lari balik ke opis, memang tak ah. Buang masa aje nak travel, nak pi Subang service cam dah tak daya aje. Lagipun tak call SM nye lagi. Apa lagi, we headed straight to home walaupun saya sebenarnya dalam hati rasa guilty. Balik rumah, did laundry, sapu2 sikit, lap2 habuk and terus ON my PC. Sebab rasa guilty, jadi nak buat claim processing online dari rumah. Check claim, wahhh.. ada 1509 claim. Buat baru dalam 20 claim, asik hang aje system, pastu asik2 page cannot be diplayed. Padanlah, dealers banyak complaint. baru lah merasa betapa susahnya. Sebab macam buang masa dan letrik, terus OFF pc dan rehat jap sebab malam tu kena pi kenduri, haiiih..penatnya hidup saya hari itu..

Of Saturday's Day Out

Yesterday (saturday) activity was:-

1. Tempah baju raya (at last, done it!)

2. Shopping @ One Utama

Shopping is my MAJOR plan for this weekend because first, I want to buy gift for my friends' weddings, second, I want to buy more decent clothes for myself, bukanlah baju yang lain tak cukup decent, tapi kalau pakai THOSE clothes to work on fridays, mesti ada pengkritik tak bertauliah kritik baju semua orang. (yes, it's him, Stripper-the-weirdo-colleague!) third, because i'm thinking of buying toys for Sarah and fourth, because it's SALE, Need I say more. Gaji baru dapat pulak tuh..

I got 3 scarves and 2 tops for myself and for Sarah (no toys tho') a pink dress, a purple spaghetti strap and pants, a pair of shoes, 2 pair of pink (pink laagii!!) socks and new pink bedsheet. OH bought us a new Aussino bedsheet and quilt cover. I heart Aussino. since it's sale, bedsheet yang lawa2 semua murah2..

Sarah stuff yang sempat mama beli

Actually, there is a few items that i need (or want?) to buy but due to time constraint and Sarah dah mengamuk, i just have to say bye-bye. Tapi rasa rugi sangat, Jadi next week HARUS ambil cuti untuk shopping.

Sarah's Day Out

So yesterday is our first 'real' outing as a family. Lots of baby stuff need to bring i.e stroller, baby carrier, diapers, wet tissues, spare cloth, pacifier and yadayadayada.. I was so excited, get dolled up eagerly until suddenly PIL came and ask us to go to a kenduri at 2pm. I was a bit bengang because why they did not inform us earlier? I wasn't refuse to go, because i know that they came during Sarah's kenduri and all but what made me so angry was we had planned for this outing for a week, so there goes my plan lah kan. FYI, I am a planner and I hate last minute event or whatsoever sebab if i do a last minute job or change a plan in a last minute, i'll get my nerves! and i hate it because i will sweat like a fish, I have a hyperhydrosis afterall.. The other half told his mum about our plan but she just said that we can go after the function, "tak payah pakai baju kurung pun takpe". Huh! another disaster. I already dressed and my outfit was SO inappropiate for a kenduri. Damn, tak kan nak tukar baju kurung and later go shopping by wearing baju kurung also? I had to find another baju sambil berpeluh-peluh, then had to iron the baju and different tudung..Benci! Nasib baik other half helped to prepare Sarah's stuff and load in the car. At 2.30pm, we head off to the kenduri. Nasib baik the food was nice.

An hour later, we left the place and we went to Ikano and The Curve since it's the nearest and they are having massive sales in there.. Susah betul nak cari parking. All reserve parkings for family with baby was full and manusia tersangat lah ramai. Sarah really enjoy her ride. She look comfortable and didn't cry at all. Other half and Sarah waited for me outside the shop while I was busy with my shopping activity. It was funny when I saw many daddies, with baby in a stroller, sat on a bench and are waiting for their wives.

Sarah enjoying her ride! Suka nya kita..

Sarah and Papa

I was planned to buy some stuff for Sarah like new pacifier, bedsheet and some books. You might think that it is too early for me to introduce her with a book. But for me, NO. Because why, Sarah likes to sit on our lap like at the moment, she sit on my lap while i type this entry, and sometimes, she just sat and not doing anything. Her eyes just wander around and look at the ceiling. I wonder what makes the ceiling look so attractive to her. So, we decided to buy her a few books so that she can see colors, graphics and learn at the same time. I bought 6 books for her. A bedtime nursery rhymes (you press the button for the rhythm and sing along for your baby. Good rhythm for bedtime), and ABC book and a combo of 4 books. Everything is so colorful.

The books we bought for her. Cutey..

A pair of baby suit, pacifier and a thermal blanket for Sarah.

I noticed that the ambience was cold so Sarah will feel colder. Other half wanted to buy her a blanket but all blankets available are the same as what we already had at home. I don't want to buy the same thing for her. Then, I found a thermal blanket in Little Haven @ The Curve. I so like this shop. They sell cute stuff, i feel like buying everything. The thermal blanket was an instant buy but it was worth it because Sarah fell asleep after we put the blanket on her. Walaupun tak basuh lagi sebab kesian sejuk sangat..

Sarah fell asleep instantly after we put on the blanket

We didn't stop for an eating because we wanted to go home earlier. Spending time outside the home is the last thing we'll do after realizing that things are not as easy as last time. The rule now is to have lunch and dinner at home before and after the outing. Hey, that saves us 1 hour and RM 50. We head back home at 7.30 pm. It was very tiring but well worth it though! Sarah was the most tired one. Balik rumah, terus mandi kan, feed her and tido.

Mama, cepat sikit! Sarah dah kesejukan ni..

So, what do i get for myself? Just a simple four tops and a brown khaki. For other half, only a 'MotorTrader' magazine to feed his eyes. You know, guys didn't shop as much as us, women. Thanks to other half for brought us out and many thanks for being very patience, taking care of Sarah alone while I was busy browsing for the clothes. Let's do this more often ya?

One happy family @ The Curve

Sarah Khadeja. " I turn 3-months old today. yippie!!"

Work and 2-Hour Shopping Spree.

Hari ni,saya pergi genba. Pergi dengan assistant saya, Didi. Saya kena bagi exposure pada dia, supaya lain kali bole perform genba sendiri. Kali ini pertama kali saya ke service dealer.Sebelum ni, asyik pergi branch aje. Bulan ni, tukar angin! lagipun,saya kena tolong mereka, improve certain area. Supaya akhir tahun, bila KRA review, area saya ok dan mudah- mudahan bonus pun extra lah.hahahaha..
Genba tadi kejap aje. Pukul 1 dah habis sebab mereka memang bagi cooperation. Terima kasih lah kepada mereka. Saya happy dapat visit service centre tu.
Lepas tu kami pi singgah Sogo sekejap. Sale tengah gile. Saya ambil kesempatan untuk beli Sarah punye rattle, spare Avent-nyer puting dgn pillow case. Other than that, sempat beli scarves dekat Turkuaz Boutique. Colleague saya kata , dekat situ scarves dia corak unik, cuma agak mahal sikit. Saya frust sebab last week, pergi beli scarves RM 10 sehelai, end up tak boleh nak pakai pun. Susah nak dibentuk. Sebab frust, saya terus rembat 4 helai tadi. Rasa puas dan berbaloi. Didi sempat beli sepasang kasut. Kami sekejap je dekat Sogo, nak cepat balik opis sebab takut hujan lebat. Maklumlah, sekarang ni kat sg choh mesti hujan lebat dari tengahari sampai ke petang.
Tepat jangkaan kami, dalam perjalanan balik hujan turun selebat-lebatnya. Saya drive dengan perlahan sebab takut. Tayar depan saya belah kana dah botak. minggu ni other half kata nak tukar kan. Sampai opis, hujan masih lagi lebat. Berlari kami dari car park ke main entrance. Kuyup jugak lah.
Masuk opis pukul 4.30 pm. setelkan keje yang pending. Saya rasa syukur sangat sebab dapat assistant yang bagus. Buat kerja cepat dan detail. Masa saya maternity leave dulu saya tak risau langsung tinggalkan kerja pada dia sebab saya tahu dia boleh buat. Bagus-bagus, mana lah tahu kalau saya nak 'berhijrah' ke tempat lain, tak delah pincang sangat sebab saya dah groom dia elok2. Bos patut berterima kasih dengan saya kan.
Sometimes saya rasa bosan jugak dengan kerja sekarang. Tapi tengoklah, kalau ada rezeki lain. mungkin saya lari.. hahahah... (saya tahu bos saya tak akan baca blog ni, sebab tu saya tulis)
