November - My Month of Beauty & Wellness

My much awaited long holiday has finally arrived..not that i have plans to go anywhere..its just the tots of having the days off fancied everyone n esp yours truly, of course..this month has also marked as a wake up call for me..knowing that the year is reaching its final destination n tat the new year is just around the corner n most importantly, my birthday is approaching soon..sooner than i have expected :( (it's just tat i am no longer in that position of wanting to be older n wiser.. lol)

Since my health has been slightly deteriorated, i have decided to give a better attention to myself ( yes, i've been procrastinating).
My knees have been weak by all the stairs at work, my skin is so dry, my eyes have slowly showing signs of wrinkles (not mentioning the eye bags:( and my aching back has constantly being annoying.

That's it..no more procrastinating! In efforts to 'cure' myself and my beloved body, I have been consuming glucosamine for my knee problems, evening primrose n calcium for my body, my wonderful hydrafinity eye gel 4 my eyes and lots n lots of moisturizers n lotion for my cracking skin. I even had facial treatments to let the wrinkles aware of how unwelcome they are n enrolled at a fitness centre as my saviour for my overall well-being;)

All the best wishes to ME ;)

2 Months

Wow..its been 2 mths since my last posting..2 mths of endless responsibilities at work n home..not that i'm complaining..its actually good for my brain n soul to be surrounded with duties, tasks, errands and stuffs to do. It kinda proves that i am a mature and reliable adult.;p (hehehe)

Anyway, lots of things had took place in this course of 2 mths. Ramadhan had come and left us, so is Syawal and the very much anticipated Eid. Me n my family had had a wonderful time during this two holy months..alhamdullillah..some photos taken during these months are now embedded in facebook for my family n friends ;)

At school, the final exams r finally over...while the students may be yeahhiing and jumping for joys, teachers like me r now wrecking our heads to mark our students answer scripts..

Soon, November n December will peek its way..bringing the joy of the final term break. Before we know it, the new year will arrive. Gosh..what had i done this year? What had i achieved to do n not to do this year? I did not set any resolution this year seeing not much it can do to myself. But hey, i believe i had done some remarkable things..things that i can be proud of and i shall strive to do better for the other things that i had embedded to achieve in myself. ;)

Boy oh boy

Here is Ariel, my 2 1/2 year-old son, pretty much engrossed with his new toy, a MP4...gone were the days where children will be busy chasing their friends for a round of 'police sentry' and 'guli' or even not so outdated games such as scrabbles and water guns...kids nowadays are far too mature and advanced. Nowadays, a psp and ipod is almost a must for them..parents wont mind getting these gadgets for their kids as they can play 'em too..;)

While our kids are developing and enhancing their thirst for knowledge, it is both critical and crucial for parents (like me) to be aware and updated on the what r available for our kids for their future. My husband n i are constantly on the debates on how should we raise our kids, which enrichment programme to join, which kindy and school to enrol to..etc..etc...though most of the times we were closed to becoming clueless and at the pinnacle of it, we would hope for the best..come what may..we shall face it together..(gulp)

Here's an excerpt from Kids of the Future, by the Jonas Brother (theme song of Meet the Robinson)

Outside a new day is dawning
Outside the demon is rolling everywhere
I know that it's right because

We'll save the future together
This family's forever

[Chorus]
We're the kids of the future
Woah
We're the kids of the future
Woah
Everybody live cause the future is now

[Chorus]
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
SING!
Na na na na na na

[All Three]
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids of the future [x4]

Oh boy! anyway, my much-awaited holidays r finally here...

Fasting Furor

Today marks the 2nd day of my fasting payment..hehehe...aka ganti puasa laa.. i gave birth to Aidil (my 3rd child) during Ramadhan last year, and hence i only managed to fast up to the 13th day of Ramadhan..( i think)..n so i am now desperately chasing the date to fast before the arrival of the new Ramadhan this 1st Sept..(according to the calendar)

Yesterday, i had nasi beriani n mutton for sahur...damn juicy n delicious..then during the day..i was weak like nobody's business..i was so sleepy n restless...waaaa...papa did warn me that i will be feeling that since i had beriani n mutton...but nevermind..it was worth it..This morning wasn't as lucky as yesterday..forgot to ask my maid to cook n i ended eating rice (very little rice) with fried egg n sambal n my new pearl choco drink n biscuit....waaaa(d**n pathetic)

I hope i can fast until this Thursday n tomorrow is Isra' Mikhraj..so insyaAllah i will fast...

It is a wonderful feeling when u fast..ur tummy felt so empty n nice...u feel xtra nice and full of wisdom too..hehhee

Anyway..mid sem exam is next week...which means the holidays r just around the corner...i desperately need a vacation....i've worked my butt out..(well..kinda)

Langkawi..here we come.....

The Fabulous 4 Are Back

Yesterday, i went to the GSC cinema to watch the return of the fabulous 4 women from my fav hit series Sex and The City now THe Movie. Mind you, it's the best RM8 and 2 1/2hours that i have spent.

As you scroll down my weblog..i've listed some of my fav movies n books with their respective ratings..You too should watch n read them...satisfaction guaranteed!

Sleepless in Seapark?

Hehee...i live in kelana jaya actually..quite near to seapark though...it's just that i dont think kelana jaya would ryhme with the title...hhehehee..so ngaku tinggal in seapark for today's posting..LOL

I have been having problems to settle down at night..not that i'm being restless or tossing and turning insomnia kinda thing...but lately my brain has been actively functioning till past midnite...annoying and irritating my body and especially my eyes since they can't cope up with my energetic gray matter.

So as usual my grand design as per to help me fall asleep is reading...though it actually makes me more wide awake (hmmm...i wonder if i still have my sejarah text book) and found these interesting facts in Reader's Digest:

" A good night's sleep actually starts in the morning. The second your eyes flutter open, light shoots down the optic nerve and into the brain's biological clock. That stimulates production of hormones that regulate everything from how you think to how you feel."

" Sunlight activates the brain and activating it at the same time every morning teaches your body that at midnight it's supposed to be asleep and at noon it's suppose to be awake. If you wake up at a different time every day, the clock will be out of sync leaving you feeling groggy and hungover for hours. Hence it's important to wake up at the same time every day."

Hmmm....but i do wake up at the same time everyday..well.at least..almost....hmmm..yawn...zzZzzZZzzz

Traumatic Ordeal

I was fortunate to survived a near accident experience yesterday. Words cant describe how I felt at that moment during the incident..and words still can't describe how I am feeling at this moment. The only thing on my mind was those innocent faces of my bundle of joys if anything happens to me..

Alhamdulillah.. my deepest n most humble thanks to you, Ya Allah for giving me the gift of being vigilant and quick-witted during the incident and for awarding me with precious new lease of life...
..Allahuakbar..Allahuakbar..Allahuakbar...

Of Durian and Sambal Petai

Went to my mom's kg over the weekend to visit my grandma..had lots of durians, pengat durian and sambal petai...scrumptiously
divine...on the way back to Kelana Jaya, we joined my nephew's Aiman's belated birthday party..Another round of deliciously flavourful sinned food..lots of discussion on the current political arena and living situation..makes anyone wonders...can't one have both delectable delicacies and peaceful country at one go?

Stupendous Siblings

Me bundle of joys






Siblings rivalry? Yupp.. there's much evidence on that..but these trios are definitely loyal and loving towards each other!

Proudest Moment

As a mom, your proudest moment is when your child has done well in anything that he/she does. Mine took place last nite. I was checking my daughter's school bag when i found some papers, they were her mid semester exam papers. I never really took it seriously when i received a letter from her teachers about the exam few weeks ago as she is only 5 and attend a kindy. So, when i saw those mid sem exam, i wondered why she has not shown it to me. To my surprise she, my slothful daughter whose favorite hobbies are watching cartoons and drawing..has scored 100% for 3 subjects, Al-Quran, English & Maths. She also scored 96% for Science, 98% for another paper i cant remember, probably BM and 94% for Jawi. I was so pleased with what i have discovered. Mostly on the part that she is learning something and manages to comprehend them well.

@**%$#

I am sooOOoo totally behind the schedule..spilled my Herbalife drink on my Macbook and approximately an hour after that, it went kapuuut. OMG..now it is such an endless wait...waiting for the tech team from Apple to get spare part to fix it. Arrrghhh...can't do any work..can't prepare my exam questions, notes, lesson plans..can't read my students' blog..can't prepare my research report..can't listen to the tunes...above all..can't Skype!!! ...arrrghhh..life is so borringgg at work!!!

Just the 5 of us

While driving to work this morning, a familiar song filled the air (thru the radio,precisely,hehee). Will Smith's Just The Two of Us; a song he wrote for his first son. I wasnt really paying much attention to its lyrics when i heard it years ago but i knew he dedicated it to his son, but this morning, he really made me realized the endless responsibilities and love a parent has towards their children. It really is a beautiful song.

Just the 5 of us..we can make it if we try...

Choctalk

Got these from Reader Digest

Chocolate's luxurious taste has been compared to the feeling of falling in love. It triggers the release of feel good endorphins in the brain and contains lots of antioxidants. A 25g of dark chocolates has more antioxidants than a cup of green tea, an apple or a glass of red wine. It is also a significant source of essential nutrients; calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, niacin n riboflavin. It can be included in a healthy diet, as long as you are active n are having plenty of fruits and veggies.

No wonder i LooOve them so much!
Yum..yum

So, moral of the story...will stock up on my chocs in my nx visit to the hypermart ;p

Phewww

It has been a week since i've finally sacked my personal assistant a.k.a my maid and it has been 2 Tuesdays in a row that i have missed my fav series, Heroes and Brothers & Sisters. Reason? Pheewwww...words can't describe how hectic and tiring it is to mind my 3 bundle of joys.
Bundle of joys, there are, pain in the neck, yes, mind and soul twitching, yes too, but still, there are my heart and soul...and at the end of the day..it is what their needs and feelings that matter the most to me.

Yawnn* mommy can't get enough sleep la...aiseyyy

Happy Birthday Princess

Mommy loves you!

CNY Holidays

Tomorrow will be d last day of d 10-day cny holidays n i haven't done much of d work that i intended to do. Being ambitious, i brought home approximately 2 kgs of work done by my students...mostly essays n comprehension n right till now, i have barely marked them all..
i can honestly say that not more than 20 essays were given d privilleges of being marked..hehehe..oh swell!!

p/s: i hv decided to keep my maid after some brief interrogations.
susah woo takde maid

Domestic Dilemma

To keep or not to keep? That's d question for the week.

My mom had quite a big row with my maid yesterday n now i'm in doubt whether or not to continue her service at home. Mom found a couple of her new 'mak datins' tudungs n t-shirt well hidden in my maid's bag. Now we r wondering.. God knows what else she has kept in her possession. She is our 3rd maid- d 1st 2 were when we were in jakarta..to be honest, my maids in jakarta r far better than this one, but for my children's sake..she is o.k..she can take care of them well, though iryn always yell at her coz d maid couldn't really understand her n is quite slow.

Hubby just got an offer to work in Singapore n will start on 11 feb..mind you, dis maid has chosen just d perfect timing to create d row..we r 100% positive she just created them on purpose as we had heard few times that she wanted to quit. wat pissed me off was d fact that she uses my mom to get d attention she needed..so that we all feel like we cant survive without her help around the house...ya right!!

SO to keep or not to keep? Hubby has already called someone who is willing to hire dis maid..i think i might survive w/o a maid..we'll send ariel 2 q-dees, his sis' tadika since he is so inclined to go to school..n my parents has agreed to take care of baby aidil... i don't know...d last thing i want to do is to give them more responsibility...n there's another thing on my mind..my research report for my mesl is due by this nov..and can i complete them if i were to worry about my kids when i'm rushing from here to there? Pening....pening...

To keep or not to keep aaa??

Birthday Boys

I was supposed to post this entry last week but due to tonnes of things to settle at work..i kinda overlooked it. It was my boys' bday last Jan 29!

Ariel a.k.a Abang turned 2 years old n Aidil a.k.a turned 4 months old...

Its seems like a split second to see them grow. My hubby always said that he didn't want them to grow too fast n didn't mind being their 'elephant' when they needed the rides..

Happy Birthday My Little Heroes!!!
Mommy loves ya!!

Dot Com

Yes, I am aware that my header is a bit exaggerating..try to see it this way..it can be one of my resolutions this year..and i've just got this new dot com under my name! yehaaa..although technically it was my hubby who got it for me. I will try to upload more stuffs in my newly born dot com asap. C ya!

2008

Its 8 Jan 2008. 080108. Has the rat race begun?

Life was quite hectic for me last year. Do i need to profess a new year resolution? I can't remember when was the last time i stick to one or even had one. Hahahaa...I guess i can say that i love to treat my life as it comes, no pressure, no high-end demands..
Just face it enthusiastically and be responsible in handling all matters and most of all, to love what i am doing and to try to get the best possible results out of every effort done.

well, what the heck..i may as well create some resolutions now....i love being a wife n mommy to my 3 bundle of joys, i love shopping..i love my career (my, i'm sure there r lots to write about..esp my students...hmm..)..So basically,i love who i am..(hmm..when can i shed these stubborn extra kgs n inches...hahhahaa). So here goes:

1) To be more patient towards my kids' whining
2) To finish reading all my novels
3) To think more about what to achieve a.k.a new resolutions

Heheheee
Happy New Year!
