Wordless Wednesday : Red Entry

Ask yourself......

Is it worth it............................?

Life has taught me so much about patience, handwork, happiness, but still, I can't get enough of life like it never bore me at all... and this morning while I looked at the many facets of life, how I have been living my little life, it occurs to me, is it really, I'm living my life now?



Life as it is, is full of surprises, sometimes it irritates us, sometimes it brings joy to us, sometimes we wished our life is so much better than others. As for me, the joy of having a daughter, a perfectly healthy girl is the best gift I have ever received. A lot has changed ever since she was born, I'm becoming more patient (but sometimes I just lose my grip and there are times I just can't tolerate her tantrums...) Being a mother is not something you learn from text book of novels. It looks so frigging easy in the movie though.

On daily basis, at the end of the day, I'll always ask myself what have I done today? Do I whine too much until I forget to be grateful? Have I done enough today, so if i die tomorrow, I'll rest in peace because I've done what I'm supposed to do.....

For the first time in my life I begin to understand how a parent might hit a child - it's because you can look into their eyes and see a reflection of yourself that you wish you hadn't"  

 Jodi Picoult, my Sister's Keeper..

It is indeed reminds us of who we are, the purpose we are here and the responsibility we need to carry...... I wish to be a good mother and a grateful person... My child, my only one is a gift from love, I should shower her with so much love you can imagine.... Somehow, taking care of her requires so much sacrifices, patience and I really need to have a full grip of myself. To tell you the truth I lost control much of the time... Being a mother is indeed a hard task to do. I admit. 

Hence, I'll take a deep breath, I will always remember, she is an AMANAH from Allah.... furthermore, she's the one who puts the smiles on my face.

Again, I'll ask myself, is it worth it? So far, I'm still living my little life and make the most of it...

In the name of Love....

You know, apart from shopping and travelling, novels mesmerized me... I can fall in love with novels instantly, or so called love at the first sight. Currently I'm hooking myself up and trying to have as many novels as I can, written by the brilliant author, Jodi Picoult. I've read House Rules before and it was stunning! 

We headed to MPH tp find a book, I have one in mind.. and hubby love...errr...since he can't get enough of The Lord of The Ring.. especially Frodo and Smeagol, he has one book in mind as well.... 


Mine? I picked My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.... (Easy guess right!) There's a movie tie-in with this book, played by Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin.

........and him... The Hobbits by J.R.R Tolkien.... I don't know what is it about, but if somebody mentioning hobbits to me.... I will say, Hail to the big foot! Kikikiki!  

I've bought 14 books altogether last year, and this year, The Big Bad Wolf Crazy Book Sale is expected to come AGAIN (What? Yeay!!!) in October (Reliable source..... hurm)... I'll start saving up and gathering big boxes to 'borong' at least 30 novels and hubby love... please don't buy a sci fi tech book you never gonna read.. like those How the earth evolves and Jimmie Oliver Cook Book... Hahahahahhahah!

That's that!

Xoxo!

I'm trippin'...tremblin'....

............and I'm falling in love...... I believe in self rewarding.. It is indeed one way to appreciate yourself in your very own way! Look at this gorgeous shoes, who wouldn't want to have it?

I went to The Mines with the beautiful Dani on Friday, we had Subway for lunch and I'm soo in the mood to look for an awesome belt, but I ended up with this darling! Maybe a bunch of pirates we saw that day has diverted my attention from the sole purpose I was there. Anyway, we can't turn back time aren't we? and we are simply good in managing our weaknesses.. ;p.  I bought this shoes from the Voir Gallery (newly open concept store which housing products by Voir), with 50% off. Great bargain, so I stashed it! Hihiks!

I don't know why but, I'm dreaming of a nude pumps lately......

Have a great weekend lovelies! Xoxo!

Just so you know.........

Eyeing on Canon EOS 550D....
Wishing it to be mine....

Ok, to start off, this story involves my hubby, Sarah, The sales person, a couple of families and I.It took place in Courts Mammoth Kajang around 9.00pm, the weather was cold and chilling to the bone. 

We were looking for the Canon EOS 550D and unfortunately it was out of stock and the sales person told us it will take forever to wait for the camera (my version to say the camera is not available within one or two weeks). Nevermind then, I said, better luck next time. Out of curiosity, I asked him if we want to buy anything with their Flexi-credit service what do we need?.


Just so you know, 

•  You must bring in your income document, payslip + EPF stmt / Bank Statement (Ok)
• The processing will take 3 days (Hurm..... so long?)
•  Once approved and it happened to be the first time you purchased anything from Courts, they will take  another 3 days to deliver the item to your door step. (Even if it is a camera). I said, WHAT? **^&&%&*%&*... The sales person said, just to see the house (my version : EASY FOR THEM TO RECLAIM BACK THE ITEM IF YOU DEFAULTED ANY INSTALLMENT)
• He said, in total it will take about one week for you to get the item. (hurm, through several reading on the Net, some buyer says your delivery is suck and your customer service is even worse)

Maybe not this time, but you will definitely be mine.......

That's that lovelies! Till next time!

Excessive Fat..... No?

It is just so cliche, so typical ordinary no different woman I am, talking about how to lose weight every now and then. I don't know about anyone else, but I think a recipe for a good life is to look superb and fabulous. My definition of superb and fabulous is the ability to CONTROL what I eat, not to let the food control me. That's just a total frigging hard to do ok! So what are my plans to lose some weight? 

I was about 60kg after I gave birth to Sarah, the fat somehow is so hard to shed, and I almost give up. But, seriously thanks to DPA, I managed to lose a lot of kgs, which is 8 kgs, and I feel so light, easy breezy confident and I can fit nicely into any clothes I try. Unfortunately, after months of bad eating habit, 9 hour desk job without constant exercising, I gained another 2 kilos. I seriously hate it. 

Hence, I've listed down several measure-to-be-taken to lose that naughty-gruesome-looking fat.

1. Counting calories intake

I found a useful information about calories intake from http://www.kriskris.com/how-many-calories-should-i-eat-a-day/ and I even calculated calories needed for my body in daily basis as per below:

According to Kris, if I want to lose at least 0.45 kg a week, I should need to eat only 1199 cal (1699 cal - 500 cal) Hurm... It's pretty much achievable isn't? Way to go mushroom and dinner roll bread!

Note to self : Start Counting Calories like counting every penny I wasted. 

2.  Regular Exercise

Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! I sound like an old radio rosak already, hihiks! but, this is the route to super fabulous body. I did a 20 mins Latin dance the other night, super sexy with interesting movements I love.. Only thing is I can't keep up with the salsa moves, I'm bad at remembering steps, my bad, and that is why I prefer running, running, running... hassle free..... I found out from http://www.dummies.com this useful information and would like to share it with all of you.

The one that caught my attention is below....

Phew, I should run, the activity I do at my best and after all, I love it!. 

3.  Well - Balanced Diet

Often we hear about this term, somehow we just fail to eat right. Really, you are what you eat... Hurm, I found some useful tips on how to eat a proper diet in order to lose weight healthily from http://www.howtoloseweighthealthy.com/ . It is indeed a 100% commitment and 110% strong effort to lose weight. Ngeheheheh! This is the hardest part I believed, ever since food has been my greatest promising BFF that never turns me down when PMS struck, stress kicks my ass and when I'm bored to death. Those tips are........ (drum roll repeatedly!!!!!!!). There are 22 tips, but I chose 10 based on my liking... ;p 

• Eat in smaller plate - It creates an illusion the food in the plate is enough for your tummy. 
• Choose low fat over full cream milk
• Do not take cream with your coffee - I drink coffee rarely, I'm more to Milo person, but Milo without milk equals to bland.
• Add fiber to your BFF list. 
• Hot and Spicy food we love increase our metabolism level - great!!!!
• Eat slowly and stop when the tummy is full - Remember this! Feel less pity to the food on the plate..... Sob sob sob (the sounds of the food crying...)
• Eat more fruits! Fruit at 10.00 am, fruits at 3.00pm... fruits even before bed (erk!)
• STAY AWAY FROM BUFFET! 
• Stop comparing food serving size - Different people have different calorie needs and metabolism level. Comparing what you eat with the girl about the same size as you are simply not working..... ;p
• Drink more water and AVOID JUNK FOOD!!!!
