Dah tahun baru...?

Aiseh lamanya tak tulis.
Walaupun terasa macam failure masa cuti sekolah ini akan tetapi...bila check balik, rupanya banyak juga helaian worksheet dan telah ku suruh anak-anak buat. Adam yang pemalas pun banyak juga yang dia buat...si adik Lina pula dah pandai tracing dan color sendiri  tak perlu suruh-suruh dah. Bagi worksheet pandailah dia buat. Dah siap dia mai bagi..: "mama dah siap.." terkejut gak  mulanya tapi lepas tu kagum. Maklumlah dengan si Adam memang low expectation so bila si adik cepat buleh terasa 'WOW' sebab umur dia baru jer nak 3 tahun...Alhamdulillah...semoga lepas ni boleh teruskan dengan latihan tracing abc plak.
Semenjak akhir-akhir ni memang agak sibuk. Sebabnya biasalah kan jadi mak memang sibuk dengan chores biasa dan online shop dan buka akaun kurier baru dan kenduri kendara dan sebagainya-lah. Sampai nak mengkait pun tak sempat lahhhh. Memang tengah buat projek amirugumi lanie...ntah bila nak siap ntah!
Website plak kami nak update versi sebelum ni guna free template sajer. Then oleh sebab version tu dah tak disupport oleh server, so terpaksalah cari...nak beli nie, macam-macam kriteria nak cari...sebab alang-alang beli biaq berbaloi tak yah tambah pluggin dah. Susahnya, bila ada yang berkenan, ada plugin takde...bila semua plugin ada, version tak support, bila version dah cantek, plugin ada...banner depan statik plak. Kami nak banner depan gerak-gerak tanpa perlu guna GIF....bila semua dah ada, oh, kami nak 3 row plak sebab nak tambah youtube kat row kanan...haiyoh! then back to square one. Banyak kali cari then back to square one...ada gak fedup kejap pastu buat lagi...then back to square one. Ingat nak kontek web developer dah suh customize....mau kena ketuk nanti.

Tapikan Alhamdulillah, jumpa template dengan semua ciri-ciri moden dan sophisticated itu akhirnya dengan harga USD116.00 - beli. Settle satu bab.

Esok new year...aku banyak kerja...nak buka akaun poslaju dan masukkan banyak produk baru.
Resolusi? Biasa ajerlah kot cuma tahun 2013, no more cholesterol foodie. Thinking to buy a new excercise machine (that's not pose any danger to my kids) so i can do cardio and be healthy.

Selamat 2013!

Normal stuff

Takde apa nak tulis...
Kehidupan biasa...nothing special pun.

Tahun ni decided tak pergi BBW...walaupun semua orang pun duk post gambaq buku2 depa borong kat sitew...takdelah jales pun. Tulah, kalau dah terketaq nak pegi awal-awal memang tak kan jadi. Rasa macam takde arah je nak ke KL semata BBW...antara sebab:

• Kereta tak sihat.

• Duit agak slim dek membantu hubby pomen keter dia...

• Banyak kerja la nak settle akhir tahun ni. Stok banyak habis gara2 sale. Tengah tunggu supplier hantaq barang.

• Mak aku ada di home town so baik balik home town lawat home town kan...lama tak balik.

• Ingat nak beli kucing parsi kat KL tu tapi cancel last minute sebab ada member nak sedekah sekor parsi kat ai....Alhamdulillah selamat duit. 

So, takde poin nak ke KL.

2-3 hari ni agak sedih dengan kejadian dunia sekitar.

• kejadian tembakan amuk kat US yang membunuh 20 budak kecil...(walaupun kejadian sama setiap hari berlaku di Palestine dan Syiria). Memang terangan macam ini Allah beri balasan kat depa. Akhirnya teroris itu berada di dalam masyarakat mereka sendiri. Ironic...sesiapa pun boleh ditembak dan menjadi penembak... tiba-tiba satu hari you bangun dan decide nak pegi tembak orang. Gila!
• Kes budak india kena dera dek boifen mak.
• harini ada toddler juga mati didera oleh boifren mak... masyarakat kat Malaysia pun makin menuju kehancuran sebab masing-masing bersekedudukan tanpa nikah. Tak lama lagi jadi macam barat, kawin sesama adik-beradik sebab tak tau. Banyak sangat anak luar nikah taktau siapa bapa.

kucing jagaanku sekor mati sebab taknak makan...(tak sedih punla...memang dah jangka)
then ada sekor lagi anak kucing diselamatkan...habis lagi duit bagi kat vet gara-gara merawat dia ada bengkak apa ntah kat rahang. comel anak kucing ni. rasa cam nak bela jer...
dan ada satu lagi baby cat...this one tak tau apa nasib. ai dah buat terbaik...takde arah kan aku nie?
memang...hubby tak marah pun takpelah kot.

and...sibuk menyiapkan amirugumi untuk Lina dan nieces... see? takde arah.  

I am grateful

When think about it, i am grateful because i am married with this man, hubby of mine.
He doesn't help me at home at all.
He doesn't help me with the kids at all.
Sometimes i feel frustrated with him...(normal for married couple).
He has lot's of things that i want him to change...we are getting old right?
However, whenever he's not at work, he WILL be @ home.
No matter how noisy the situation is, no matter how messy the house is...
Even though he just sit there doing his own thing...while the kids are fighting with each other!
At least he's there all the time. Helping me by just being there, is enough.

Yeah, comparing to other family that the hubby loves to hang out with friends instead of family...that's hurting.

Alhamdulillah syukur.

Insurance

Today i bought insurance for my youngest.
Macam biasala i ambil prudential. Sebulan RM120.00 cover PA, Education and Hospitalization with medical card. If need to admit to hospital, i have to pay rm300 only, other charges, they will cover.  If i die, they will cover the premium until she's 25 years old. If hospitalized, they will cover up to 65K per year...macam tulah. If something happen to her, they will pay lump sum and you don't have to pay the premium anymore and still continue the plan until 75 years old.  If you want to withdraw money, they won't charge interest...the bad one is, you cannot commit suicide during your first 12 months, after that you can do it if you plan to. Haha! It's true! Make sure you die committing your suicide because they won't cover your hospitalization cost if you are hospitalized because of suicide.
Then, if you are an organ donor, they won't cover your operation cost but they will cover if your are the receiver. Macam biasa, not cover for pregnancy, abortion anything related to having baby, cosmetic surgery..and so on. Read your certificate people!

Dah lama nak beli untuk Lina tapi kewangan sentiasa tidak membenarkan lagipun beli insurance ni macam rugi jer sebab duk bayar premium banyak-banyak especially first year, then tengok jumlah boleh keluar ada rm200 ajer. You kena fahamlah insurance bukan macam simpanan tapi insurance kena ada in case of anything happens in the future. I ingat tak nak beli insurance untuk Lina ni sebab company hubby dah cover dan ingat nak menabung dalam tabung haji ajer bulan-bulan. Tapi dah 3 tahun dah dapat bilang dengan jari berapa kali i masukkan duit dalam tabung haji. then kalau i mati takat itu ajelah simpanan dia. berbanding insurance ni, kalau i mati tabungan dia tetap bertambah tanpa membebankan hubby i. Bukannya duit dah cukup, duit i takkan cukup so, tutup mata call agent iaitu my friend suh mai bawa borang. Dah settle. Simpanan tetap kena ada bukan tak payah tapi insurance pun kena ada sebagai perlindungan kepada simpanan. Itu ajelah. Hubby tak tahulah sebab dia kata tak perlu beli insurance kat Lina. Ala, dia pun harap yang company ajer in case kena buang kerja kan naya kena pi klinik satu malaysia plak...lagipun i yang bayaq.

Taktaulah mungkin rezeki kerja sendiri lebih banyak simpanan dari kerja tetap dulu. Mungkin i lebih value the money because it's very difficult to earn. Alhamdulillah...semoga rezeki terus datang. Amin.

how ironic...

these kittens, i hope they will die.
don't get me wrong, everyday i will give them milk, vitamins...but i really hope they will die.
but they are livin...1 is in good condition, 1 more looks fragile and may be will die soon..(please hurry up and die already!)
yes, i have no mood for cats now. but the thing is, when i hope it will die, it won't...fate. it's not my job. it's the Most Merciful job...but i hope it will die.

Adam demam...

Tulah, demam haritu tak baik lagi.
Taktau dia nie demam sebab main panas atau sakit gigi.
Siang tadi ingat nak pi cabut gigi dia yang rosak tu tapi klinik tutup lak.
Mungkin cuti sekolah doc tutup kot. Nak cari klinik gigi lain...kat kulim ni tak banyak klinik gigi.
Apart from klinik kerajaan yang ramai nya orang tue, adalah 2-3 yang tak berapa best cerita yang didengar...camana nak buat nie? kesian anak aku sakit gigi dah takmo makan lani demam tinggi plak dah...ubat dah takmo makan...mak yang tensen nie. Kalau hari-hari biasa dia ni hokay jer telan vitamin ke ubat batuk ke tapi kalau demam...jangan sebut 'ubat' meraung terus...kita orang pempuan ni kalau anak sakit punya risau anak takmo makan ubat, bagitau bapaknya, pastu bapaknya naik atas pujuk sikit dah budak tak nak makan jugak, depa kata takyah lah makan...biaq panas. Adoihla, tak membantu langsung! Senang tul depa ni lepas tu pi tengok tv citer running man. citer korea yang bodo takde arah tujuan.
Anyway mak ni akan tabur sikit-sikit ubat demam tu campur air kat bibir dia malam nie. Nak masukkan ubat kat bonbon memang ada tapi kesian kat dia trauma kot. Dia ni dulu masa baby memang kuat sakit sebab tu mak kena quit job jaga dia. Dia ni memang anti ubat-ubatan sejak zaman baby.
Hopefully demam tak panas sangat malam ni. Mak akan jaga macam biasa sponging ajerlah kan. Itulah termampu...

Jejalan Penang

Sebenarnya bukan jalan-jalan pun cuma tunjuk muka jer kat kelab kereta hubby saya.
Adalah aktiviti makan durian dan selebihnya depa akan sembang pasal enjin kereta...boring.
Kalau ikut hati takmo ikut sebab tak minat pun makan-makan buah-buahan. Tak kira buah apa saya tak minat.
Tapi...sebab aktiviti keluarga terpaksalah ikut. Habis plan nak kait baju krismas untuk pelanggan harini.

Dah sampai tu, saya memang tak bagilah budak-budak ni masuk laut. Lagipun pantai tak bersih dan air pasang. Bahaya...! Makan durian 7 ulas..dah start muak dah. Pulut? saya tak suka makan pulut.
Adam lak asyik main panas balik rumah terus demam...Adik ok takde masalah cuma tak makan langsung di sana tadi. Minum susu jer hobi dia.

Kat sana ada lah akak ni asyik promote produk kecantikan...nasib baik dompet tinggal dalam kereta. Lagipun duit tak banyak dalam tu. Kalau tidak dah habis dah duit sebab saya jenis lemah tak leh dengar orang buat promosi nanti rasa kasihan dan terus beli. Alaa akak ni, saya ni tak kisah pun saya cantik ke tidak. Banyak jerawat ke tidak...mungkin bagi sesetengah orang kecantikan segalanya tapi bagi mak beranak dua ni, cukuplah mekap lipstik bagi nampak tak pucat dan bb cream. Buh kaler macam-macam pun nampak fake...dalam movie oklah. Muka chek pun dah clear dari J so as long as i feel happy there's no need to go spa apa bagai buang duit ajer. Target saya cuma nak beli mesin ab roller ajer sebab nak sihatkan badan...hokay?
Yang lain-lain tue sampai nak licinkan kulit sampai tahap kertas dan payu up la, bontot up la, memang saya tak layan lah sebab kalau niat tu nak tunjuk kat orang...dosa tu. Kalau niat kat hubby then its hokay. Dahlah bontot saya dah lawa besaq nie. Tak kering macam dulu. Apalah saya merapu ni?
Cuma nak habaq la, kecantikan tu luaran saja...you buat camner pun kedut tetap akan datang bila sampai masa.
Tahu tak, pada hari ke tiga kita mati di saat mayat kita membusuk dan berulat, roh kita akan datang melawat kita dan berkata 'wahai manusia alangkah rugi di saat engkau hidup engkau sibuk menjaga badan tetapi tidak sibuk menjaga amalan' lebih kurang macam tulah bunyinya. So...dah tua-tua nie kita patutlah lebih kan jaga amalan lah yer. Muka you yang cantik tu akan berulat akhirnya.

Assalam...

Sebenarnya tak tau nak tulis apa...
Tak kan nak tulis pasal kematian kucing dan kesedihan lagi?
(walaupun tiap malam duk nangis lagi...)

Tapi kan, ada 2 ekor anak kucing kecil...tak tahu sesat ke orang buang. Ada kat kedai...bukan adik beradik kucing nie, budak-budak kat kedai datang bagi baby kucing tue. Seperti biasa tak leh bawa balik rumah dan tak gitau hubby pun pasal babycat nie...biarlah lagipun tak berapa ada mood cerita pasal kucing nie. Anak kucing payah nak hidup...bagi vitamin dan ubat cirit dulu. Lepas sihat dan boleh makan baru open untuk adoption (kalau survive).

Minggu ni sibuk siapkan tempahan crochet untuk kawan...
Nanti dah siap ku masukkan pic...
Tengah sibuk buat topi angry bird ni.

Aktiviti dengan anak-anak macam biasalah, adik dah pandai dah ikut garisan walaupun senget. Adam susah sket...macam dialah tak nak ikut arahan especially arahan mama. Kalau dia nak buat dia akan buat...kalau tak banyak jer alasannya.

Cepat jer cuti sekolah ni kan? Ingatkan nak ajar si Adam ni membaca, rasa cam tak sempat. Segala worksheet pun gagah nak suruh buat inikan plak sesi membaca yang dia sangat meluat...

Ingat nak layan drama Korea tapi tunggu dululah dek takde mood sedih kematian kucing ni berlalu dulu.

In Memory

Sebenarnya i betul-betul ingat dia tak de apa-apa yang serius...
So, sangat tak jangka dia akan mati.
Masa kemas nak balik kampung semalam, rasa tak sedap hati bila i kemaskan tempat makan dia elok sangat macam dia tak akan datang dah. Well...
Tak sangka dia pulang ke kampung untuk selamanya.
Tak sangka i bawa dia pulang untuk tanam dia.
Balik rumah tengok collar dia yang i tanggalkan sebab dia asyik muntah...sayu rasanya.
Tengok sikat dia...yang i sikat bulu dia setiap malam...sayu rasanya.
Tiada lagi night buddy yang temankan i buat kerja tengah malam.
Tiada lagi hi-five dengan tangan gebu dia.
Tiap kali sampai rumah, nama dia yang akan i panggil dulu suruh balik dan dia pun akan terkejar masuk dalam rumah...
Tiap pagi, akan buka pintu dan panggil nama dia juga suruh dia masuk makan, kedengaran loceng di kolar dia dan cepat-cepat dia lari masuk rumah.
Semuanya dah tinggal kenangan lah. Tak sampai 6 bulan bersama kami.
I memang tak berhajat nak bela kucing baru dah. Biarlah tinggal sekor si bubu aje.
Tapi kerja-kerja foster kucing akan tetap diteruskan.
So, harapnya dia akan berdoa untuk i bila i mati nanti moga dipermudahkan urusan i di alam barzakh dan hopefully to see you in Jannah. I know you are there already. Bye. I really love you so much you know that right?

Last living picture of him

... ... ...

He Died

Today, Saturday 24th Nov 2012...he passed away.... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Anak bulu kesayangan jatuh sakit...

Harini kan...aku pun tak berapa sihat. Kena sakit perut...bangun pagi perut berangin dan sakit hulu hati...dan cirit birit...sampailah lewat malam time tulis nie. Tapi sebab kita ni jadi mak, terpaksa gagah buat kerja macam biasa. Kalau hubby pening ke sakit kepala ke, senang jer depa terus lena sampai esok. Kita ni terpaksa lupakan kesakitan kita kan?

Tetiba si oren ni masuk rumah pagi-pagi berkelakuan ganjil...dia bunyi macam pelik dan tak 'purr' bila pegang atau usap dia. Then keadaan tak terurus. Dia ni memang pembersih jarang tengok dia tak cuci bulu dia...ahh kenapa plak, aku dah sakit perut amat nie...Sebenarnya memang nak bawak dia visit vet pun harini untuk second injection imunisasi dia...Lagi satu, dia asyik muntah...sebenaqnya kucing memang biasa muntah furball tapi kali ni rasa macam aneh.
Takpelah kan bagitau hubby dia (oren) berkelakuan ganjil. Tapi hari Jumaat kan, vet kat kulim ni akan ramai orang...maklumla orang kan cuti. Aku ni dah la sakit perut satgi berterabur lah kat sitew...so ingat nak pegi sesi petang jadi first customer dan mungkin perutku dah lega sikit.

Bila dah tengah hari dalam pukul satu gitu, keadaan dia makin parah lah. Sampai hubby pun suruh  aku cepat-cepatlah pi klinik. Hubby aku ni sebenarnya dia tak nak masuk campur dalam bab kucing ni. Tapi nampaknya dia concern jugak...so bagitau lah dia, klinik vet session petang buka pukul 3 pm. Tepat pukul 3 terus pergi. Kebetulan hubby duduk rumah tinggal si Lina dengan dia. Bawak Adam jer buat teman.

Doc kata, dia ni kena infection kat hati. Hati dia dah bengkak besar juga...huhuhu. Doc pun bagi 2 das injection, spot on ubat kutu...tanya doc agaknya bila boleh pulih? dia kata...kalau bab hati ni lambat lah mungkin 2-3 minggu baru ok balik. Tanya lagi, boleh mati ke doc? dia kata kalau lambat boleh kiok! Ish, nasib baik alert...sebab esok nak balik kampung tau kalau lah jadi esok masa kami takde...(kami tinggal jer kucing kat rumah masa balik kg).
Dapatlah ubat 3 jenis dan vitamin serta ORS. Total RM80/=
Kalau anak sakit pun free jer tau sebab insuran cover.
Terpaksalah sumbat masuk mulut kucing ni segala ubat-ubatan nie.
Malam ni, dia memang baring jelah makan tak minum pun tidak. Kena inject masuk air ORS sikit-sikit dalam mulut dia. Sedih rasanya...esok bawa dia balik kg sekali...hopefully he will be fine. He's my buddy i love him.

Pap Smear test

Akhirnya dah selesai tanggungjawab terhadap diri sendiri...asyik tangguh-tangguh...bila kita free, nurse pap smear cutilah, pergi luar kawasan la. Bila dia ada, kita plak peot...ingat nak pergi semalam sebab hari Ahad kan, tak payah bawak si Lina ni nanti guling-guling menagis kat klinik nanti. Tapi as expected, nurse pap smear cuti plak...
Hari ni tak kira, bawa juga budak ni. Bagitau nurse nanti dia akan nangis bila i naik atas baring buat check-up. Betullah dia berguling kat atas lantai tu tapi nasib baik ada nurse satu lagi mai pujuk...selalunya dia tak nak kat orang tau tapi Alhamdulillah, ok jelah tadi.

Ini merupakan kali ke-4 buat Pap Smear test...tak suka buat test ni sebab you taulah kan. Tapi bila fikir balik kalau tak buat dan kalau jadi penyakit dan terlambat nak ubat....lagi teruk akibatnya. So hopefully depa tak call sebab kalau depa call pasal results kita, alamat tak baik tu.
I buat kat klinik LPPKN Kulim so kena bayar sikit. Sebab buat pekej kena bayar rm25.00. Kalau buat kat Klinik Ibu & Anak, free jer tapi tunggu lama saing dengan orang mengandung. Kalau buat klinik swasta, kena rm60++.
Tadi, results gula, berat badan, kedudukan implanon, period cycle, breast, semua ok kecuali tahap kolestrol teruk sikit...on the dot. Lepas ni terpaksalah jaga makan. Kurang goreng ayam kot. Minyak-minyak tu...cucuq...ni tara i tak berapa makan sangat tau. Cuma ayam goreng agak kerap la buat sebab senang nak masak. Senaman? payah sikit bab ni...no time and the kids love to bug me. Mesin senaman pun dah sedekah kat adik ipaq...sebab budak-budak suka main atas mesin tu takut bahaya dan jadi kejadian tak diingini.

Seriously sejak tak buka fesbuk, masa jadi lebih banyak. Oh...rupanya fesbuk ni membuang masa. Kadang-kadang bila buka komputer, tak tahu nak buka website apa. Selalunya buka fesbuk dulu...jadi, kalau takde kerja, tutup balik komputer dan buat kerja lain...kalau tak percaya sila cuba.

Harini order tak banyak so lepak dan download ost to the beautiful you...Serious best giler citer nie. Rasa nak tengok sekali lagi... nak rehat 2-3 hari. Baru nak start apa tu citer Kim Hyun Joong tu..ha Arang & The Majistret...Sebab apa meluat tengok drama Korean ni? Sebab bila dah start tak leh buat kerja apa dah asyik teringat kisah depaaaa aje. :)

Sadly enough it's true

Even though i am the main care taker for my kids, i rarely spend quality time with them.
Apart fro my biz, at home i will always busy in front of computers (work or surf or youtube) or doing household chores.
Okaylah I can say that i do spend tiny time with the little one Adel in the morning during Brillkids time. That's it. Adam...sadly - none. I do realize it I do! Since I am the one whose running the house, my time kind of gone...suddenly it's bed time and before bed of course 5 mins quality time - story telling. That's all. Thinking about it i feel sad.
Even though i am with them all the time i still miss the 'moment'.
Sometimes i wish for a domestic helper to help me out in chores. For me chores really waste my time. Sucks big time.
For example today, i want to do some spring cleaning... stuff i need i keep, stuff that make mess i'll donate/dump. No time for kids.
Since i realized this situation, today...i did spend a little bit of my time with them... :)
Hope i can maintain the consistency. It's difficult also, to do quality time because; when you are ready, they aren't...they want to play. When they are bored and need my attention, i am busy doing chores/stuff.
So..i don't wanna target so high, for 3 year old, only pre-writing activities in morning (after Brillkids) and coloring OR counting in the evening. (5-10 minutes each)

Adam---> morning he'll be gone to Qiraati until 11am. After that must do 1 worksheet (at least) everyday (5 minutes each session).
I also plan to play the educational app in the tablet together with them. That's all. Hope I can do this...seems easy right? but for me this is hard work.

Adam's activity today

Adel's activity today

Kids activities

Hey...i found this website, free and very good!
I've been looking for simple pre-writing traceable for my soon to be 3 years old girl.
So far, the worksheet is very simple and wasting paper to print or not suitable for her.
This one just right for her....beginning tracing printable.
I found it by accident. Actually i want to search Adam's activity. This school holiday, i just want to focus on ABCs and 123 - 20, subtraction and addition & hold pencil correctly...
This website is so good...click here.
Have fun!

Takmo FB seminggu...boleh ke?

Starting from tonight, i takmau buka FB my personal wall for a week...
Biz punya page kena lah buka...nak jawab soalan customer kan.
Ntah, tetiba terasa meluat...(pulak dah....) dengan setengah orang.
It's time to do spring cleaning...remove some friends that are not friends...i don't know how i befriended them?
To cut story short, i feel sad about some comments and decided to not to open my FB page for a week. So, next Friday...will update my status again. Who cares? Duh!

Should i?

Well, today is the third drawing class...
I am feeling uneasy or over-thinking, when my son told me that 'abang tampaq perut'..
I asked him 'dia tampaq ke tumbuk?' he said 'dia tampaq'
me: 'sakit ke'
him: 'tak pun'
me: ' Adam main ke gaduh dengan abang?'
him: ' main...'

Betulke budak ni main? There are older children at the class...

me: 'cikgu marah abang tak?'
him: 'tak..'

Ish...really gotta call Taekwondo class after this.
Actually i've been thinking about him learning Taekwondo quit a while but my hubby really against it because he's worry that my son would hurt someone else's kids.
Me, i just want him to defend himself in this cruel world. Being in standard 1 next-next year could be scary because there's a lot of school bullies...
Gotta call that teakwondo instructor!

DIY stepping stones

This is the kind of cake i love...
Made this on Saturday morning and ready to be stepped on..on Monday.

Ingredients:

Beli simen dan pasir kat Mr. DIY

Bucket dan spoon untuk bancuh

Recycled donut wrapper...or cake mould

Chicken fence. Cut into same size as your mould

alternatively, you can buy premix plaster...lot's easier

small stones, bought at aquarium shop

How to make your DIY stepping stones?

1. Mula-mula, bancuh simen. Kalau guna yang asing-asing, sila bancuh 1 cawan simen bersamaan 3 cawan pasir. Bancuh sampai jadi macam bubur lembik. Bukan  bubur lambuk. Jika angkat tak jatuh itu ok.

2. Masukkan ke dalam acuan. Jangan nipis sangat...agak-agaklah.

3. Letak pagar ayam atasnya.

4. Letak simen atas lapisan tadi macam sandwich.

Hias dengan batu...kalau rasa kering sangat boleh renjis dengan air bagi lembap sikit.

Dah siap...tinggalkan 2 malam. Letakkan di tempat selamat dari gapaian kanak-kanak ok.

Lepas siap...bolehlah letak atas tanah...

Tada!!!

It's done...

At last...it's done and i love it and most importantly, she loves it too!
Inspiration from Liz, her pattern is so easy to follow yet different from other hat patterns. Love this hat!
Actually, i have been looking for a long braided hat for quite sometimes and only found one in Seoul, Korea during our visit last year but didn't bought it and still thinking about it. Thanks to Theresa R and Liz, now i can make this on my own.
In Malaysia, this crocheted hat is very expensive...!!! We are in summer all year long. Thanks Liz.
Wanna make one? Click Here. 

Back to crochet..

Actually...i overwhelmed myself with new patterns...surfing crocheters blogs and realizing there are lots of stuff can be done with a simple granny square...now i m crazy to make granny squares!

I have completed my tasks at the shop and everything looks great. Today, had a success meeting with new supplier. Tomorrow, will buy some stocks at nearby supplier. I haven't finish calculate the invoices yet but will do it slowly...there's a lot. I also decided to hire someone by June 2013 to help me out...Alhamdulillah budget looks good.

Last night couldn't help making my princess a hat. It should be ready by tomorrow & will snap the outcome.

Then, will crochet my friends new coming baby bootie/mitten/beanie.

Then, will make Adam's owl hat.

Then, wanna make Adel's top.

Then, make heart buntings for Adel's birthday prep.

Then, will make 50 baby booties.

Then will make cushion cover using granny squares.

Then, planning to make ipad & my tablet's cover by using granny squares.

That's all...will update the progress.

Project latihan - DIY pen holder

Projek ni, saja nak test dulu sebelum buat kat benda lebih besar. Overall, need more practice..

1. Ini botol sabun cuci pinggan. Nampak cantik sayang nak buang. I simpan...kut-kut ada idea.

2. I potong mengikut bentuk diingini.

3. Lepas tu i pergi spray cat. Sebelum tu, bolehlah tebuk lubang guna puncher. I suka kaler hijau...i spray kaler hijau 3 lapisan. Spray jauh sikit kalau dekat cat tak lekat.

4. Lepas kering semalaman, i buat lakaran motif guna watercolor putih. Senang nak cuci kalau tersalah lukis.

5. Keluarkan kit melukis. Guna paint acrylic. Beli dekat kedai buku bahagian lukisan...macam-macam kaler ada. I cuma beli basic...satu tiub dalam RM9.90.

6. Lepas siap...nampak agak comot dan tak berapa cantik. Takpelah ini praktis saja...boleh gantung kat mana-mana. Kalau boleh sapu lapisan yang dilukis tadi dengan varnish...supaya tahan lama.

Crochet too much...

I decided to pause crocheting for a while...I still have one order for my friend but since the baby is still inside her tummy so what's the rush?
My hubby said i crochet too much it might ruin my eyes...
Thinking about it...maybe because i crochet everywhere...even while waiting for Adam's eye examination the other day.
Did I crochet too much? maybe because i let the unfold clothes sat in the basket for quite sometimes and just dug the pile of clothes looking for things to wear.
Just that...I still wash laundry, cook, sweep, manage my children as always... :))
But i did put aside my shop's 'need to do stuff' aside.... ha! Yes, again new products coming and there are lots of stuff to do. So, i paused my crochet activity until i finished the 'undone'. Focus on 'more money' than 'less money'.

So, i manage to set up Deepavali Sale for the shop...advertise the promotion.
I started to key in the invoices, Paypal first. I just realized how much they charges. Since their operation changed from US to Singapore...they're charging the fee a lot now. Really stressed me out thinking about that. I have no choice because other payment gateway are charging quite the same plus charging the set up for RM400++. At least Paypal is free set up but they will charge for every transaction now and even charge for 'send money'...it's like double charged... :'(
However, the charges can be included in the balance sheet later on.
I did...study accounting today. I want to finish the book in a week.
For the past years..i did my balance sheet, cash flow and income statement --- really 'cincai'. A lot of mistakes...So for 2012, I will do it seriously and using free accounting program downloaded from Cnet...but the accounting terms really confused me...that's why i have to study the book which i bought last year but just use it as 'house decor'.

and...i managed to make some stepping stones. If the outcome is good, i will 'story' about that.
After everything is DONE. My next mission is; make 50pairs of baby booties! GTG.

Hadiah untuk hubby...

Birthday dia bulan sembilan...sekarang baru beli.
Sebenarnya tak tahu nak beli apa? Bila tanya dia nak jam...jam plak hat riban-riban.
Manalah cik ouswipe ni nak wipe duit. Harap gaji kedai jer.
Pastu dia komplen wallet dia dah buruk...wallet dulu tu i yang bagi...lama berkurun dah. Awatlah dia tak beli sendiri...dia kan kerja.
Bila plak nak turun Penang nie...kat Kulim takde shopping complex yang jual barang jenama...so terbantutlah usaha nak beli. Nak pi Penang memang malas. Dengan anak-anak...takkan nak pergi sekali dengan si hubby tak best la beli hadiah dia dengan dia...hmmm

Tiba-tiba kan...ternampak flyer iklan banyak sangat kat tepi jalan raya mengatakan The Store akan dibuka! Di Kulim Landmark Central...
The Store ni memang wujud dulu pun tapi location teruk so malas nak menapak panas-panas dengan budak-budak...so tak tahu apa jadi kat tempat tu...

Hari ini buka, hari ini rasa gatal sangat kaki nak jengah. Tahu...memang ramai orang punya tak kira mesti sale gila. Memang sale teruk! Tapi tak de apa sangat la...i dapat la beli hadiah kat laki i tue...beli wallet jer. Jenama Alain Dellon.. bolehlah tahan 4 tahun lagi hahaha! Diskaun 70% wa cakap lu!
Tapi sebab semua cashier baru...lama sangat tunggu nak bayar. So, nanti-nantilah i pi jengah lagi. Tunggu YES kot baru pergi soping situ lagi.... :))

Adam's first Drawing class

Today is his first drawing class.
School holiday is due next week so at least he has something he's up to every Friday.
It is norm...all of the students are Chinese...let's him mix with other Malaysians. Hope he can do it!
The teacher is very young and I think she's ok. I don't know let's see.
The fees are very cheap only RM30/month for 8 hour classes.
There they will do crafts and learn how to draw and paint. I hope the class is fun.

Well, i don't mind if my son has learning difficulties but i really want him to be the best in his art class.
The best and most beautiful drawing in kindies, in primary school and secondary school. Just like mommy in her early days and i never went to any drawing class.

Anyway i hope he loves the class.

Check Mata

Semalam pergi check mata si Adam...
Sebab dah dapat surat refer pergi hospital.
Kali ni follow up jer. Last month dah check sekali..
Next month lagi sekali.
Untuk Adam ni, doc tak galakkan buat pembedahan sebab nanti kena bius full body dan bila bius...akan ada komplikasi. Kalau dah besaq sikit, buat local anesthetic saja. So,,,sapu ubat jelah dah kena cuci mata masa mandi dan demah mata dengan air suam supaya bersih. Bulu mata mamat ni panjang sikit so cepat kotor. Bakteria mudah membiak kat bulu mata...

Tapi kan...doc tu ada check power mata...dan dia nak check sekali lagi on next appointment sebab dia kata ada power. Ha? Anak aku rabun ker? TIDAK!!!!!!
Bukan apa, aku tak mau dia rabun macam aku....kesian dia.

Tapi...masa test semalam, Adam ni sebenarnya aku tak pasti samada dia tak nampak atau malas nak jawab. Bila tanya huruf apa itu? Macam biasa, dia bosan. Hmmm...
Mama pun kena lah print gambar 'eye test' dan tanya dia. Baru jer print. Mama ni nak pasti betul ke dia rabun atau dia buat perangai jer. Hopefully tak rabun. Budak umur  5 tahun kalau dah rabun...kesian. Sepupu dia pun dah rabun...nanti nak tanya cikgu tadika dia ni ada kenyit-kenyit mata atau menunjukkan keadaan budak rabun ke tidak kat sekolah...

Esok balik...!!!

Di dalam kesibukan...esok dah Khamis. Jumaat Raya Haji...alamak! Banyak lagi kerja tak settle. Esok kalau takde order senang la sikit. Baru berangan nak buat stepping stool esok...tunda lagi projek weekendku.Baju...ada sebakul lagi tak basuh. Kalau basuh pun tak sempat kering. Musim hujan. Esok pagi basuh juga ampai kat dalam jelah.
Lampin kain...satgi tengah malam sikit basuh. Kalau sedar awal-awal harini dah dd (disposable diaper)...Packing...sekali lagi.  I hate packing.
Kucing-kucing...terpaksa tinggal lagi untuk 3 hari. Kalau dulu si bubu kami berani tinggal sampai 5 hari dalam rumah (bekal foods dan plenty of H2O) tapi dah 2 ekor...takat 3 hari boleh. Si Oren kuat makan pastu kencing merata nasib baik haritu dah alas sofa dengan plastik. Selamat sofa aku. Kali ni nak buka tingkap belakang bagi depa keluar masuk. Bukan taknak buka, dulu selalu buka bila tinggal bubu tapi kucing lain suka masuk curi foods dia ni. Takpe kot sebab sekarang ada Oren kuat lawan. Bubu dah tua tak kuat dah.

Si kecil kat kedai tue...hopefully orang yg confirm nak ambil esok jadi lah mai adopt dia. Masuk kali ni dah 4 kali orang buat main-main nak tapi tak mo...ini kali last. Kalau dia tak ambil jadi aku bela jelah. Dah comel pun. Cuma kesian la kucing kecil tu selalu di buli Adam... (perihal kucing lagi...)

Selamat Raya Haji.

Simple Sunday Project: Foux Pearl Bracelet Beading

Tajuk macam gah...harini hujan...indoor jer nak bertaman tak leh.
Dah lama nak buat kat inner pink ini tapi biasalah...malas. So harini keluarkan mesin jahit dan buat!
Ini inner pink yang i beli harganya rm15. Kalau pakai t-shirt lengan pendek i akan pakai lah inner ini...rasanya nak buat kat leher pun boleh kot tapi dek pakai tudung...tak yah lah. Pegi cari t-shirt lama-lama yang masih elok materialnya....pastu recycle :) 

1. Gunting baju t-shirt lama atau baju tak pakai...gunting jadi macam kelebaran riben 1.5 inch. Lepas itu, you jahit jelujur halus dan tarik perlahan jadi macam renda seperti gambaq di atas...

 2. Penitikan pada lengan tadi...kalau tak konfiden nak jahit, bolehla jelujur atas lengan inner itu. Lepas tu jahit mesin corak zig-zag okay...

3. Dah siap mesin, ambil manik mutiara palsu, i guna 3 saiz ikut suka you lah yer...kaler plak guna kaler putih dan kaler mutiara...kalau guna sedondon tak cantik lah...Jahitlah maniks tersebut guna teknik 'manik susunan beriring'. Boleh rujuk internet google mesti jumpa camner nak buat amatlah senang orang ambil upah mahal ooo...

Comel tak? Masa membuatnya tak lebih 2 jam....

Tada!!!

Terpaksa balik kampung

Aku ni...tak suka balik kampung. Hometown aku pun aku tak suka, ni plak hometown hubby.
Sejak kahwin memang tak suka balik kampung dia...sometimes wonder macam mana dia boleh duduk kampung masa kecik-kecik dulu...dah kampung kelahiran, nak wat camner, hidup jelah kan?
Dah lah hari ahad ni si Adam ada periksa akhir tahun...kalau balik kg, dia asyik main jer, tak nak lah buat ulangkaji...
Bila balik kg, banyak household chores tergendala...pastu bila balik mai...berlambak kerja surirumah kena buat. Surirumah fahamla kot, kalau wanita kerjaya tak berapa faham sangat masalah surirumah yang remeh ni.
Kat kg....semua masuk kelambu awal...untuk aku yang selalu tidur pukul satu nie...terasa amatlah buang masa tidur awal-awal ni...nak stay up takut...maklumlah kampung macam-macam bunyi ada. Walaupun tak percaya karut but i pernah 'diganggu' kat sana masa mula-mula kawin. Lantak kaulah hantu, kalau bran mai....aku nak tanya banyak soalan pasal 'death'...tak dak lah gangguan lepas dapat anak.
Kat kg boring....takde apa leh buat, internet tahap G ajer...ikut angin, kengkadang H+...tetiba jadi E...hmmm
Kat kampung...tak berapa suka tandas...tandas kampung fahamlah kan. Malas nak citer.
Kat kampung kena jaga anak betul-betul sebab pintu terpelahang luas takde grill pastu ada perigilah...sungai lah....ulaq lah...asyik jerit jer panggil anak-anak yang suka berlari kat luar tu...kalau kat rumah ni....tak perlu tengok pun. Persekitaran selamat.
Next week balik lagi...sebab Raya Haji lak...bosannya! Mak aku takde kat hometown so beraya kat kampung hubby lagi...
Orang lain punyalah excited balik kampung tapi aku...malas nak packing dan unpacking balik nanti.
Takpelah...at least ada kampung halaman untuk anak-anak. Jadi apa-apa emergency boleh lari kampung kan????

Quick update

Today, i made bunting...really quick one. Got idea from The green dragonfly. Love her blog lah!
I made it as a decor at my shop...but the pix quality is not good lah. Tablet only meh... love it (the bunting). You can decor your office space too with this cute little bunting.
I recycled my children's old and torn clothes and sew the little triangles on a ribbon....cantik tak?

I cut the clothes into little triangle and sew using sewing machine. I bought the cute paper clips at mr. DIY only RM2.50 per pack!

Background decor at my shop...

Also hang some of the buntings to spice up the mood :)

Serene Kulim

I love Kulim...
So serene, less people & i have everything i need here...if i need to shop for something not here, just 45 minute drive to Penang.Or...shop online.
Klinik kesihatan is less people, no foreigner of course. Klinik ibu & anak...waiting time is less than 30 minutes...(better than private clinic). The nurses are friendly...Klinik LPPKN also nearby. Just 10 minutes drive from my home.
Private Hospitals are a lot on the island and there are 2 in Bandar Perda and Bagan...just 45 mins drive also. Hospital Kulim = only 15km away (been there once 4 years ago).

My soul-mate mentioned that he wanted to apply for another job in KL. I said go ahead if the company is willing to pay higher. He is working with one of the best employer in the world.... Careful, living in a big city is very expensive...and i don't like living in high rise building. How ever  it would be fun because my sisters and brother all are there...we can do tonnes of activities together plus i can fulfill my dream to pursue phD...so many higher learning institutions over there.

I don't know if our rezeqi is there...but i love Kulim i do! I can breath very deeply to the bottom of my lungs with fresh air! I can go anywhere in 15 minutes. No jams...No flash flood...you know our 4wd broke down because of traffic jam in heavy rain but luckily managed to come back to Kulim and got fixed here. That poor diesel giant is so spoiled here in Kulim. Traffic is so smooth. Definitely gonna buy a smaller car if we have to move there.

Anyway i had a blast with my sisters and bff. Really hope to turun KL again soon ha ha!
I managed to crochet a set of baby hat and boots for my new niece.

Yesterday, I was overwhelmed by chores didn't know where to start...I am no multitask er.
I refrained myself from crochet activity until i done all my 'kedai' pending tasks. Will crochet again tonight. I miss the yarns...

Remember the kitten i saved? we brought it along to KL leaving other two in boarding. Yes, still with me coz nobody wants it. Started to fallen in 'love' with the kitten.

Shopping...

Agenda kat sini soping saja...(kat Selangor/KL)
Hubby i takde, pergi kerja la. Dia duk hotel kat area klcc tu. So, i menumpang rumah adik. Adik i ni tengah cuti study. So, dia adalah kat rumah...takde soping apa pun. Biasa jer, kali ni pergi ikea beli barang sikit sambil ambil katalog baru 2013. Tak banyak sangat membeli cuma beli tambahan drawer untuk ofis/work space kat rumah. Dulu dah beli meja. Kali ni beli drawer set dia pula...ingat nak beli tu ajer tapi sambil berjalan tangan sambil mengambil barang masuk stroler, sampai kat area toys, masing-masing rembat toys...so budget agak naik. Tapi kami semua bayaq cash tak guna cc so...poket terasa slim...tapi tak tanggung hutang. Lega fikiran.
Ah sebenarnya nak jumpa bff kat situ tapi salah bagi tarikh untuk dia mintak cuti....alamak! kesian dia minta cuti untuk next week. Sebab tu, ikut plan b, pergi shah alam jumpa sanalah, Alang-alang sampai sana boleh pergi butik-butik kat jalan plumbum...tapi kami bertolak agak lewat...sampai dah pukul 4 petang...pastu nak hujan...bawak budak 4 orang semua aktif main aci ligan (kejar-kejar) dalam butik....dapatlah sehelai shawl...jadilah. Yang penting dapat jumpa my bff. Next time pegi lagi! Balik jem plak...sebab time kerja hari jumaat plak...sampai dah lenguh badan...dah tua kot. Kalau bertolak awal sikit banyak sikit butik boleh masuk...

Kat butik tudung tu...stok tak banyak...agak kecewa juga dengan promosinya. Anyway semoga butik tu dapat membanyakkan stok dulu sebelum buat promo. Dan hirelah web designer buat website elok-elok...senang nak update stock dan untuk orang beli online macam web i...tak perlu update stock manualy. Once habis, orang tak leh beli dah...bayarlah sikit...bisnes you pun dah top kan. Orang macam i memang tak beli kat blogshop sebab kurang kepercayaan...semoga terus maju ya.

Esok...soping kasut plak :)

It's a productive day indeed...

Baju lama budak-budak, tudung lama, baju lama i pun...baju winter pun ada... yang bertimbun dalam bilik tamu...akhirnya aku kemaskan, pilih mana nak derma, mana nak buat kraf dan mana nak buang...buruk sangat buang, still wearable---> derma dan yang sayang nak buang tapi dah buruk...buat kraf selimut.

Kipas siling 4  buah sudah dibersihkan setelah turun salji hitam...
Rumah telah dibuang sawang...mak cukup tak suka tengok sawang katanya tempat makluk halus bertenggek. (i tak percaya sangat bendak karut nie...)
Bilik tidur, office hubby pun dah divacuum.
Baju hubby yang berlambak gantung tapi tak dipakai pun telah di sort...pastu paksa dia pilih mana nak simpan dan mana nak derma.
Bilik mainan budak-budak yang bersepah dengan mainan sebab aku malas nak sort ikut pengkelasan pun...dah elok disimpan hanya tunggu dipunggah balik...dah punggah pun.

Sofa yang dikencing telah ditukar dicuci cover. Nasib baik ada salinan. Tapi kencing telah telap sampai bahagian bawah...terpaksa sembur febreez banyak gila sebab tak leh basuh bahagian tu. Yang bahagian kusyen terpaksalah basuh...nasib tak baik musim hujan taktau bila nak kering.

Sempat ke Tesco beli barang keperluan untuk 3 hari sebelum ke KL lagi. Ingat nak pi esok tapi esok nak ke hospital check mata Adam.

Topi untuk baby kawan yang dia tempah pun dijangka siap malam ni...
Kasut babies untuk sesapa yang tempah pun dah siap...
Kasut baby untuk my new niece pun dah siap...

Yes , it is a productive day indeed!

Tiada maaf bagimu..

Sejak beberapa hari ni, si oren asyik nak duduk luar jer. dah tak nak manja-manja dah. Bila bawa masuk dalam, terus dia sibuk nak lepak kat luar...habis kotor bulu dia.
Kadang-kadang rasa terkilan plak.
Semalam bawak dia cucuk vaksin pertama, kena RM55. Semua ada 4 kali...Cucuk anak aku pun free je taw.
Anyway takpelah, dah tanggungjawab tuan kucing.

Harini, kami semua pegi melawat mak aku...maklumlah dia baru buat laser mata sebab katarak. Macam biasa, bawak si oren masuk dalam sebelum keluar, takut nanti lapar ke sebab kami akan balik lewat...

Sampai di rumah, ada bau busuk pelik...
Sebenarnya memang rasa agak pelik sebab litter box tak disentuh...sejak semalam lagi.
La...rupanya dia melepas atas sofa! Kencing situ plak...
Dah lah letak Lina kat situ. Habis busuk anak aku.
Tak guna punya kucing, penat aku buat macam-macam, litterbox mahal nak mampus,
kau melepas atas sofa? macam mana aku nak cuci?

Dah, la ni hang duduklah kat luar tuh. Dah galak sangat nak protes nak duduk kat luar, silakan. Mampus pun takper. Orang nak curi? silakan. Kalau sampai kena anak aku...memang tiada maaf la.

Apa patut buat?

Sebenarnya lama tak update about my kids home edu and Adam's speech development after the therapy ends kan?
Lina's brillkids dah sampai day 99! Malas nak snap pic buku tu lagi. Nanti i tulis jelah apa yang dipelajari setakat ni. Dia dah kenal banyak benda dan vocab. Dia dah pandai cakap. Insyallah tak jadi lambat cakap macam abang. Adik dah start buat pre-writing activity kat rumah...sebab nak didik dia pegang pensel dengan betul. Semua aktiviti printing pre-writing di download dari internet jer..kat link-link sebelah nie.
Adam lak banyak improve dan cepat tangkap. Sebut sekali jer dia dah ingat...cuma pegang pensel jer tak betul. Walaupun tak betul dia lebih selesa tulis macam tu dari yang cara pegang pensel yang betul. Cuti sekolah ni memang kena ajar Adam pegang pensel. Nak tanya cikgu dia ada buat kelas tambahan tak, kalau ada suruh pergi. Nanti dah buka sekolah dah lepat liat nak pergi sekolah pulak.
Untuk si Adam memang just monitor dia buat homework jelah. Tak sempat nak suruh dia buat additional activity...kertas kerja miss K bagi dulu pun still tak habis buat.

Me...i have been busy these couple of days with orders. Everyday i wish i could yarn over (crochet) but there are lots of stuff to be done at the shop. New products coming in ---> snap pics, editing & cataloging... Come back home the off to cook dinner and norm chores...I just have time after 12 midnight. I will crochet till 1 am. Wake up at 6.30 am...

Tapi sebenarnya nak cerita pasal benda lain. Baru-baru ni ada malaun (orang jahat) mana ntah yang buang baby kucing...habis semua jatuh dalam longkang. Akak-akak kat kedai makanan bawah ni dah tak kisah pasal kucing ni. Larat nak kisah, selalu sangat orang buat...jenuh la kan. Ada la seekor terselamat...tapi you taulah baby kucing perlu jagaan rapi macam baby manusia juga. Ada feeding time. Kalau i nak ambil seriously kena bawak balik rumah. Then problem with hubby plak. Nanti menderhaka macam mana? Kita nak jaga mak kita pun kena ada kebenaran suami, kalau tidak sepanjang kita jaga mak kita tu dikira berdosa bukan pahala....
So i doa jelah semoga ada orang ambil babycat tu...sedih sangat dengar dia mengiaw... ni anak kucing dalam kedai ni pun tak de orang nak adopt.... Apakah perasaan orang yang buang babycat without the mommy cat? Apa tujuan you buat macam tu? You nak lepaskan beban kat orang lain? Biar orang lain tanggung dosa? Seriously berdosa buat macam ni sebab you telah menganiaya binatang tak berdosa. Semoga Allah memberi balasan sewajarnya kepada you yang telah buang baby cat tanpa ibunya ini.

Semak perut...

Bahasa omputehnya butterflies in stomach. Begitulah perasaan ku kini...
Ntah kenapa rasa tak seronok.
Semua orang tengah seronok dengan bajet baru 2013 maklumlah semua dapat durian runtuh. Peneroka, anak peneroka, gomen serbis...budak sekolah...
aku? habuk jelah.
Duit dalam bank makin kurang sebab banyak beli stok, masuk kurang.
Cari kedai lain tak jumpa...kat situ harini tutup pulak, nak masuk bangunan pun tak leh. Tensen.
Nak meniaga macam mana kalau kena ikut opis hour...alahai....
Itu pun dah buat aku stress.

Aku bagitau hubby, business slow lepas raya. Maklumlah duit semua orang dah habis masa raya kan? Really slow dan kadang-kadang takdak. Banyak buat order palsu. Fake...aku tak la marah bila orang buat fake order cuba membanyakkan kerja aku la dan membuang masa duk emel tanya nak ke taknak... penyebab stress jugak nie.

Hubby kata, bukan slow...memang tak maju pun. Kalau nak buat boleh buat betul-betul mesti ramai customer (sambil dia bagi hujjah dia yang bernas...)
Yelah, ada duit ke nak buat semua tu? aku tanya dia balik.
Dia kata sebab tu kena buat pinjaman...
Dalam hatiku berkata...pulak...haritu kata jangan buat loan nanti terbeban mau declare bengkerap nanti. Sekarang ni cakap suh buat pinjaman plak.
Aku boleh buat pinjaman esok pun boleh isi borang... ntah.----> ini pun penyebab stress.

Tak tahulah aku! Next week tutup kedai pi bercuti...legakan fikiran yang kusut masai. Malam ni nak buat projek crochet kasut. Chow-

How3x?

Macam mana nak buat nie?
Lagi 2 minggu kami semua nak ke KL...

Tadak mood memikirkan. Bukan pikiaq apa, pasal anak kucing kat kedai tu.
Last weekend adalah sorang mamat nak ambil tapi dia senyap plak...tak kan kita nak paksa plak kan.
So, dah buat iklan baru, letakkan gambar baru bagi nampak comel sket kucing tu.
Hopefully ada la orang nak. Jenuh nanti nak pi KL sapa nak jaga?
Tak kan nak menyusahkan kak nori plak...dia tu dah la kerja sampai pukul 8 malam...al maklumlah orang singgle. Balik awal pun nak wat hapa. Hmmm camner? Hari Jumaat yang mulia ni memang doa jelah kat Allah.
Tulah, aku ingat kucing tu tak tahan lama dek keciritan-kebiritan. Ini dah 3 minggu la kot.
Still, cirit juga...perut kembung. Badan kurus...cacing ni. Insyallah kejap lagi tunggu klinik haiwan kulim ni bukak, jenguk kejap ambil ubat. Tak kuasa nak bawak kucing tu pegi, berak tak berhenti mati tak juga...panjang umur betul. Dah kol klinik semalam tanya nak bawak kucing ke tak, depa kata kalau cirit macam tu tak yah lah bawak...

Pastu semalam, sembang dengan kak cleaner bangunan mara nie...alamak dia cerita benda tak best. Buat aku ketakutan...bukan cerita hantu. Hantu-hantu ni aku tak percaya. Ni ada mamat bangla mabuk plak lepak kat surau lelaki...ish. Takut plak. Hari jumaat, situ agak sunyi...mau bawak pisau plak aku pi toilet nanti...pak gad (guard) sini memang pemalas...tak buat kerja. Nanti meeting mara akan ku ajukan masalah nie.

hapdet:
Dah pegi la klinik haiwan tue...jumpa doc. Dia kata, kucing ni usus dia dah loose tu sebab tu cirit sampai berdarah. Dia kata, jangan bagi makan apa-apa 24 jam ni untuk relaxkan usus dia yang lemah tu. Bagi minum ORS jer untuk stabilkan electrolyte dalam badan (sama jer macam budak-budak).  Dapatla ubat antibiotic, ubat cirit dan ubat cacing untuk bunuh cacing dalam perut tu. Ada bagitau doc dulu dia ni berakkan cacing jer....badan kurus perut kembung dek cacing yang banyak dalam perut tue...oklah. Kena bayar dalam RM20.00.
Semoga hang sihat si kucing. Tak buh nama pun sebab ingat nak foster jer not bela pun. Tapi kalau takde orang nak ambil, terpaksalah bela. Letak kat kedai jelah buat 'pelaris' hah!

Crochet Beg Comel

Tahap: Senang/Easy
Nota ringkas:
sc: single chain
hdc: half double crochet
round: tak perlu pull up, terus buat chain di atas chain sebelumnya.
Ditulis oleh: proud2bSAHM

Semoga boleh faham...
1. Mula-mula chain 33
2. Setelah siap, buat sc pada chain kedua dari hujung tadi. Buat 32 sc semuanya sampai habis.
3. Tak perlu pull up, terus mulakan round. Kalau boleh tandakan dengan pin pada sc ke 32 tadi. Teruskan hdc pada chain pertama (sebab dah pusing balik dah...sebab tu dah sampai chain pertama). Terus hdc sebanyak 56 hdc semuanya (sampai patah balik ke pin yang ditanda).
4. Ulang buat round sebanyak 20 round semuanya.
5. Pada round ke-21 dan 22, buat sc pada setiap hdc sebelumnya.

Untuk buat handle.
6. Dari tepi, chain 8 sc, chain 12 dan skip 12 sc...(faham tak? sila rujuk gambar, kalau nak senang sila kira siap-siap pastu tandakan dengan benang), sc balik pada chain ke-20 dan buat 8 sc sehingga habis sebelah beg. Ulang langkah sama untuk sebelah lagi...dah dapat handle bag.
7. Round seterusnya, buat sc untuk setiap chain. Pada rantai 12 tadi. buat 12 sc pada keseluruhan rantai...(around the chain) bukan pada chain...paham ke tak bahagian nie...lepas tu sc macam biasa pada setiap chain sampai habis round.
8. Buat sc untuk setiap chain sebanyak 3 round. Potong benang dan matikan. Dah siap!

Di sini, i hiaskan dengan riben dan buat sedikit sulaman riben bunga ros...nak buat camner? sila google :))
Kalau rajin, boleh buat lining kat dalam...agar lebih kemas.
Saya tak jahit butang, saya guna magnet button, lebih praktikal.

Selamat mencuba!

Been there done that

I know this situation would happen to me sometimes...it did & happened today.
Ruined my mood all day.
Today i feel a bit down, thinking lots of things. After dropped Adam at kindy, i decided to fill up gas at nearby Petronas. As always, Adel is with me.
At Petronas, i just took my card out and jumped out quickly to fill gasoline into that big tank. My hubby should do this. He's the one with the full time job. I'm just the working housewife...(tapi nampak macam taknak isi minyak jer sebab keter ni i yang guna). Takpelah, i isi. Just rm70. When I wanted to open the door, guess what...guess lah....the door was locked! Adel locked it from inside...I asked her to unlock...she just giggled. She thought I was playing with her!..really stressed me out! Thanks Allah, I switched on aircond and it was raining...and we were at shaded area. What should i  do? Quickly, i ran inside Petronas and dialed my hubby.
Actually i do have spare key but it was inside my wallet and it was inside the car. I just took my credit card outside.

It happened before, but i had my spare key back then because i brought my wallet.
Normally Adam was together with adik, he knows how to unlock the car.
I always remind myself to always bring the fat wallet with me but today...i forgot.

I did not wear my wrist watch today so i didn't realized how long did i wait for my hubby to arrive.
He was at work some 15km away and he had to take the other spare key at home first...
I felt like waiting for so long...like an hour. Passers by started to ask and peek inside and make my todd panic and started to cry...luckily this pakcik who worked at petronas said to passers by that this child could panic so please back off.

Depend on the situation, i won't break the car's window. Since there's aircond inside so i'm not worry of her suffocating of heat. If no aircond i won't hesitate-lah! Well it's not easy to break my car glass window. This is not viva or myvi, the glass is thief proof-hardened...it would hurt my child inside and traumatized her instead.

At last my hubby arrived with the spare key and off we go. At home, i checked the clock and it was just 9.05 am. So, I just waited there for about 15-20 minutes. She was ok and didn't realized what had just happened...
After this, whenever i'm filling up the tank, i will wind down the window ok. If Adam is around, it's ok to leave the window up.
I don't know whether it is wise to show her how to unlock the car... 

What would you do?
Would you bring your child or baby out when filling up the tank? or while walking your other child to school? or while buying cucur beside the road?

For me, as along as i can see them, i feel ok and safe to leave them for a while. I will lock the car from outside ( i use my spare key to lock it while the engine still running and aircond is on).
I will never leave them in a car when i have to do courier stuff at posLaju office or pos mini, or kedai runcit or at 7-eleven. I will bring them together with me. Let them run in the post office like crazy. Let the others make 'face' with their mischievous behavior...
Whenever i have to go out buying cucur, i always lock the car with them inside watching video...(less than 5 mins and i can see them)...it's not possible to bring the running toddlers beside a busy road or deep 'longkang'/drain. I would never asked my child to do errand for me. Be extra cautious when dropping your child at school...a lot of very bad people there waiting for you to leave the car unlock (with baby inside).
Still this thing happened to me because i am just human. So, moms with no help, please be careful. For us, it is normal to leave our child inside the car. For others...this is a bad thing. We have a lot of things in our mind. We have to do a lot of errands...Ustaz Azhar Idrus said 'perempuan ni pendek akal'. So hubbies, please help your wives because we are 'pendek akal' and still, we have to do everything in marriage.
This year we heard news about mom forgot their child in the car and left them in a scorching heat and sadly the child died of heat stroke. It could happen to anyone and just pray that it won't happen to me and my family members. Can you imagine how to move on after such tragedy..the guilt?

Remember, things happen for a reason. Setiap yang berlaku ada hikmah disebaliknya.

It's easy to blame the moms...those with the same situation will understand.

Tarik balik privilage...

Privilage apa?
Last weekend, i menebalkan diri minta maaf dengan jiran...sebab si Oren ni lah. Still berak dalam pasu depa tu. Habis busuk terabur tanah atas lantai...
Sebabkan dia still berak situ (lepas sesi minta maaf), so i decided untuk menarik balik keistimewaan roaming dia. Lepas ni dia kena duduk dalam rumah. Boleh keluar kat backyard saja.
Dia ni...nasib baik tak arwah haritu, sebab nak tergilis kereta...dia ni tak reti lari. Nasib baik aku sempat melatah terus hubby brake kereta...kalau jadi apa-apa naik gila meroyan aku ni ha...
Tu satu sebab lagi penarikan roaming privilage.

Esok, akan ku pasang kembali 'sangkar ayam' pada grill pintu.
Nanti akan ku beli barb wire untuk pasang kat pembahagi jiran dan aku kot-kot terlepas dia tak ke rumah sebelah buat hal.

Lepas ni kalau ada lagi taik memang sah bukan dia punya.

Maaflah Oren (bukan nama sebenar)...i terpaksa demi kebaikan you.

Feeling like corporate woman

Hari ini menghadiri seminar anjuran Mara. Sejak occupy premis Mara ini kali pertama join.
Sebab, bukan semua topik berkenaan dengan bisnes i. So, bila depa dah buat seminar free lagi nie, dekat dengan rumah plak, pastu dapat sijil lagi, terus daftar nama. Nanti senang nak apply loan bila ada sijil berkenaan keusahawanan ni.
Next week ada lagi tapi tak pegilah. Fikirkan anak-anak...bulan depan ada lagi bengkel, tapi kena bermalam. Teringin sangat nak pegi...fikir dulu jalan camner nak buat dengan anak-anak nie.
Harini, banyak pengetahuan baru disamping menambah ilmu dalam bidang perniagaan. Rupanya kita tak boleh buat drop shipping yer...grey area dalam Islam. Kena beli dulu guna modal, baru jual. Jangan jual barang yang tak tentu adanya. Nasib baik tak pernah terlibat dalam kes drop shipping walaupun banyak kali terfikir. Mungkin dapat lindungan Allah S.A.W. Alhamdulillah...

Saja nak jumpa para usahawan lain...apa bisnes depa...selain MLM la. Bab MLM pun disentuh dalam seminar tadi. Benda yang tak nampak memang haram dijual beli sebab akan ada orang teraniaya. Tak perlulah terlibat dengan MLM. Kalau depa nak jual produk, jual jelah kenapa kena bayar yuran ahli plak? MLM la tue yang berselindung di sebalik produk ntah hapa-hapa.
Menarik bila disentuh usahawan Melayu suka tayang kereta baru walaupun bisnes baru mula...dengan duit pinjaman la...pastu terlungkup la sebab tak dapat bayar hutang keter mahal...
Penting sekali para usahawan ni kenalah arif dan minat dalam bidang masing-masing...kalau buka kedai tomyam, make sure hang tau masak segala nasi pataya, padprik...tomyam, sup ekor segala benda menu jangan berharap tukang masak. Sebab tu biz makan Melayu tahan takat 4-5 tahun saja. Yang bertahan ialah kedai makan yang ownernya chef sendiri. Sebab kalau tukang masak berhenti, you boleh ajar tukang masak baru....jangan dengki-mendengki, jalinkan kerjasama dengan kompeni lain yang sama bidang dengan kita, jangan lupa solat, banyakkan Dhuha, jujur...basicla yang lain-lain tu semua orang tahu kot.

Selalulah derma...bila dah mampu, pi bayar zakat.

Dunia ini bukan tempat berseronok...tetapi merupakan satu ujian untuk kehidupan seterusnya.

Visiting Miss K

Today we went to the therapy center to gift a token of appreciation to Miss K.
Adam was so exited...it has been a long time after the last session.
He couldn't wait and keep asking are we going to see Miss K?...(we went to kenduri earlier).

Miss K is a very busy lady. She's a young woman with a very big heart.
She does a lot of charity and non-profitable works related to speech therapy. She goes to rural areas to educate parents that are still clueless about celebral palsy, autism, dyslexia...or speech delay. She also helps adults that need therapy after accident or stroke. She doesn't care what color you are, she just wants to help you. She is very kind and loving person too. She is happy with what she is doing. She works at government hospital and several private therapy centers. She is very hardworking and works everyday...really an iron lady. We are lucky to be assigned to her and hope the best for her in her career.

So, Adam was so happy seeing her and thought that we would go into the therapy room like usual. He was so sad and cried when we started saying good bye for after such a short visit...Miss K said she would courier a give a gift for Adam (for his belated B'day). She asked him what do you want? He said I want an aeroplane. She said Ok, I will courier an aeroplane for you.
The we coaxed him that we would go to Tesco and shop. Ok-lah he loves going to Tesco and then we said good bye. Yeah, feel sad too.
This is not good bye though...
We will meet again. Thanks Miss K.

Memerut...

Ntah kenapa harini sakit perut. Start lepas makan lunch...mungkin takde kena mengena dengan nasi ayam tu. Sebab anak-anak ok jer.
Dah ler jarak toilet dari kedaiku yang hujung sekali jauh.. aduh jenuhlah berulang banyak kali...maraton ke jamban...
Adam plak buat hal, mengada apa ntah bila aku keluar jer mula keriau (nangis)...ish aku dah lah sakit perut ni, boleh hangin tak tentu arah nih...si adik pun tak pasal kena marah sebab nak susu dan mengantuk. Alahai...
Sekarang dah malam still berkeroncong...
Perut aku memang, mesti purge habis once a week. Semulajadi macam tu. Jangan jales.

One more thing is...Opps I did i again...
Yes I rescued a kitten, which I think would not last long.
I did not let the children touch it because it is so dirty and 'cirit'...
Just placed it in a big box at my shop. I didn't bath it coz...I am afraid that it is weak and cold. If it is still alive next week then I will do something...(bring to vet, bath...)
Wouldn't dare to bring home coz my hubby will be furious about this.
Takpelah, I pergi tengok hari-hari sampai dia mati.
I just put ORS inside it's drinking water. If it drink the H2O, it will be fine. I also left some cat food and nasi.
The kitten is smart, i trained it to use the litter once, the the next day i came i saw all the dumping are inside litter box already.
Well, it is worm infested...the worms were in the stool(najis)...'GELI!'
Not one but many! That's why I won't let the children touch it.
Kitty, you are lucky I found you, if not, the guys downstairs will just stomp you to death. Especially hat Tomyam girl.
Be strong kitty.

kasihan...siapalah yang buang kau?
