Boring holiday

Life is so boring this Chinese New Year holiday. Imagine a 4 days holiday and my hubby's working. I don't like it a bit. I love having my hubby at home with us. But, well,that's life. We wouldn't get enough money to pay for appliance bills and monthly payments of our car and home.

We are looking forward for the Maulidur Rasul holiday. 3 days, Friday till Sunday. I hope that after this festive season, our country's economy will grain and expand greatly so everyone will have a comfortable life. To those who loose work, I hope you will soon get a new one to generate your family financially as usual. Thanks to God our country still survive through the turbulenced ( can I apply ).

Homeless To Harvard

I am watching the movie Homeless To Harvard. This is not my first time, because Astro kept repeating the movie these few years. However, I don't mind having to watch it for so many times. This movie is so motivating and touching. The life of Elizabeth is too difficult for me to handle that I think, all these years, I haven't realised how blessed my life is compared to her.

She's hungry and homeless. Fortunately there is this System that helped her grew strong and determined. She realised her potential and didn't ended up in the streets as expected by her grandfather. A hopeless man too. Elizabeth's parents are both drug addicts and are in no condition to raise their children properly. They can't even take care of themselves.

You must watch this movie rather than watching those horror movies which gives no benefit but scare the whole lot of yourself and children.

Not Happy New Year Yet

It's already a month since year 2010 but everything seemed to be in the year 2009 for me. Oh....I am quite tensed because everything's not settled yet. Two years ago were better years for me. Everything settled as scheduled at work. There must be something wrong anywhere.

Sometimes as the worker ant I know I must work as one. Do all the jobs and tasks but it's very difficult to concentrate on my work right now. Two years ago, I managed to finish my jobs and secretarial work on time. Maybe I need to be lest too friendly and talk lest. Because in the end, I am still the one hooked up on it. After all, this is my only income. I hope I can do better this year for my own satisfaction.

Mandarin Orange

This month, mandarin orange will be really famous because of the coming Chinese New Year. Today a chinese colleague bought us a box of orange. We are really happy.

I helped open the box and find that there are some rotten oranges. I took out those. The outside label of the box says its honey mandarin orange but I found the one I took are more sour than sweet.

I don't blame the seller because how was he to know and I really appreciate the oranges. My friend with all her heart bought the oranges and actually chose the one labelled honey. Thanks. I got a boost of vitamin C today. Yes! Vitamin C always comes in the form of sour liquid. Don't laugh at me.

Happy Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is just around the clock and my chinese colleagues had started applying for leaves. Fortunately, my office is now in an equal blend of races, so no problem for them to get a week leave.

As for me, I'll be expecting my chinese neighbours having a full house in their homes with relatives and siblings gathering together. I will be waiting for the tiger dance around the neighbourhood. Everyone not only chineses will be out of their home to view the tiger dance, home from home. Exciting sight to see everyone getting so interested. My neighbourhood is multi - racial. Been living here for 6 yaers already. No problem.

To all celebrating this Chinese New Year, enjoy yourself. Happy Chinese New Year.

Laptop is for games

My daughter is no longer my small baby. Usually when I need to blog, I would say mummy need to do some study. Otherwise, there she is in front of the laptop saying she needs to play her favourite game first - tortoise.

Yesterday, I gave the same reason and she gave me a look. Mummy, if you open the computer, you wouldn't study. Just say you're playing. Ooops! She understands something already. Now, I blog only when she's asleep. If not, we will be fighting over the laptop.

Body Ache And Weight Gain

Today my body aches all over. I have been travelling here and there these past few weeks to settle some papers with the district office. Though how exausting the travelling was, I still manage to gain weight. In Malaysia, wherever I travel, my other main mission is to try the other countries famous delicacies.

The variety of foods here can never vanish from my mind. During the food tasting, sometimes I find it really tasty but somehow, I also experience the uncooked spice or not properly prepared ones. Food preparation comes from the heart. You can't cook delicious food with a bad mood.

My body aches after the 10 hours travelling to and fro. I ask my hubby for a massage but he's more tired than I am since he's the driver. At last I gave up and swallow the pain killer ( ponstan ). I pass the night till morning.

Kajang Satay

Have you eaten satay before? Well, Kajang , Selangor of malaysia is very famous with it's satay especially from the satay restaurant, ' Satay Kajang '. There are many outlets around Selangor and Kuala Lumpur nowadays. During the old times maybe 10 or more years ago, you might need to travel to Kajang to savour it. I am one of those people who did the travelling just to give it a try.

A good satay must have all the flavours immersed thoroughly within the chicken or beef flesh. Now they have many other like camel, rabbit , goat and etc. They barbeque it and wet it with lemon grass soaked in oil and whatever the secret recipe. When eaten, the meat should be tender and watery and the smell is just so inviting. Have it with the peanut gravy or sauce specially prepared.

They would also serve the satay with cuts of cucumbers and onion. Writing about it makes my mouth watery. I love satay. Before you go to any satay restaurant make sure you're really empty in the stomach and please, no sweets especially with mint flavour. All these will lessen your taste bud.

I am writing my very own experience and trust me, it's really tasty when served just out of the barbeque. I don't recommend cold ones, okay. Happy eating.

I saved myself from Trojan

Phew!!!! I saved my blog from Trojan just now. Thanks to blogger help I actually found the solution. I deleted all the gadgets and manage to save my blog. From now onwards I wouldn't want to give too much decorations to my blog. Wouldn't want to harm anyone who viewed my blog. Even dangerous to myself. I might lost my laptop which I didn't buy by saying oh, tomorrow I want to buy myself a laptop. no, it took me few years to experience this technology.

Actually everything worthy I owned are targetted for a few years before I actually own one like my car and home. There are somethings I need to sacrifice like my hobby which is travelling and entertainment. By that, then I can save some money for the deposit. But, it's all worth it. It became so precious, you know.

dissappointed

Oh, I am quite dissappointed today. Actually I am not very good in computer terms and in reading ' terms and conditions apply ' . Here I am today out of innocence have missed the chance to add some income to my account. Maybe I am not born to become a ' bit ' wealthy. Actually I never dreamt of wealth but am just trying to feel the breeze of it. But even a breeze is not destinied to me. Oh, well, I'll just type in my life experiences out of my keen into writing. Maybe one day I may gain something extraordinary but not now. I will just go to work as usual. Actually, my monthly income is already enough for a simple me. But I've tried writing just to see if I can earn something out of it. Not my luck. I should have read all the terms and conditions but, I just can't understand it through reading alone.. It's like learning without a teacher. I got lost. Couldn't understand the terms of law. I'm not a lawyer. Maybe not brilliant enough.

Here I am , at six o'clock in the morning, still thinking about you.............and I know that in time...........

Blood Donation

Have you donated blood? It is a very priceless act but someone else out there gets the benefit. All you can expect is to loose your blood and a little bit of refreshments.

That's why it's called a donation.

I have seen those who donated more than 50 times. They are just the same like us but they have something extra in their heart. They are different because they care in such away and you can see in their eyes how sincere they are. There is a 55 year old teacher I knew who donated as much but he's so down to earth.

Half boiled egg

My daughter love having 2 half boiled egg for breakfast. The way she have it makes me swallow my saliva. Looks just so tasty and yummy.

Usually I flavour it with soy sauce ( salty ketchup ) and a drizzle of white pepper. Simple breakfast for the start of the day.

Post Accident

The accident was still a tragedy I just couldn't let it pass just like that. We made a post mortem and a real discussion. All that really matters to me is my daughter. So please all of you out there. If you think you're sleepy never attempt to sacrifice anything. Just find a safe spot and give yourself time to relax or just take a nap. It wouldn't hurt anybody.

My car is yet to be ready. What does it matter? It is just a metal.

Accident

I was fast asleep. Suddenly I felt my car moving in such an awkward condition. We are on a highway and the route should be smooth and easy. I opened my eyes to see that the front side window was already smashed but still attached because it adhered to the tinting.

I shouted and it actually woke my hubby who was actually driving. Can you imagine falling asleep while driving? Fortunately, my daughter was busy playing by herself at the rear seat. It happened so fast, my hubby quickly gain control over the car before it could crash into a worst condition.

So, never drive if you're so sleepy, because you might create a hazard or get yourself into it.

Fertility

FERTILITY : What it means to me, is, failure to conceive after 2 years of marriage. It's time to see a physician if you're so much ready to start a family.

Going through a fertility treatment, you must adventure it as a couple. An egg cannot hatch without a sperm. So, it takes 2 to make a baby. it sometimes takes time to see a result and it may also fail. No matter how good your physician is, we must not forget our creator. If he determines that we succeed, then we will gain success and conceive a baby. But if it's another way around, go for other alternatives but you should know your limit.

What limit? Your age, your stress level, your commitment towards the treatment, your hubby's opinion, your budget, your support, your job and lastly, your physician's decision. Always remember to keep track of all your treatment cycles like keeping a small note book.

Whenever you feel down during the treatment, make sure you share it with your hubby and physician. Always talk to those who support you, not the other way around.

Most important, be optimistic!

Keep yourself healthy by taking good food and take supplements if necessary.

Good luck!
( My appreciation goes to Dr. Hatem - Gynaecologist from Egypt )

Table No. 1

My daughter is such a funny girl. She loves simple clothing and doesn't like frills. She's only four.

But what really touches me is when we go out for lunch or dinner. There are times that she wouldn't come out of the car and said, ' Look, mama, I want to eat at home '. My daughter really is so much attached to our home sweet home.

One day, we went out for dinner. She said, ' No, mama. I can't sit at any other table but number 1 '. I was puzzled but when she headed to a table that has got number 1 written on it, then I understand what she meant.

The next day, we went for dinner again and she actually went on the search for table number 1. Tomorrow, we are travelling and my hubby made a suggestion. We decided to buy a big number 1 and put it on any table we chose to eat. So there wouldn't be any problem if table number 1 is not available. We ourselves will make it available.

Yesterday, once more.................................

Curry Yellow Noodle

I ate curry noodle one day and it tastes so delicious. It was in Kemaman, Terengganu, a restaurant next to The Store Kemaman. I ordered special curry noodle.

There are big prawns, cockles, chicken shreds, boiled egg, fish cake and fish balls. Well, what more can I ask for, but to savour it with all my heart.

Tough Day

Had a very tough day today. Can you imagine how hard it is to even build a house on your own land nowadays? I thought that when you own something you've got the right to do whatever you want on it? Well, there's the law and prohibitions not yet mentioning the money involved together with the travelling cost. I wonder how the poor can go through all these.

But no matter how difficulty versus determination, you can still hold on to your dreams and try to achieve it. I'm determined!

6 June 2010 - even today things aren't settled yet. I don't think I have the spirit to build the house anymore with such a long process. Maybe next year. Uhuuuuuu...........

Food : Eating or tasting

Enjoy yourself with foods served but mind you if you have any existing illness.
Eat everything only in moderate portion.
Food : Eating or tasting
But maybe the right word is,there's nothing wrong with tasting in small portions rather than eat everything till satisfied. No matter how many restaurants you visit and how delicious the food seems to be, always bear this in mind, especially if you're diabetic and have high blood pressure.
