Thank you

Every household would have at least one breadwinner. The idea is to generate incomhne. How important in income? Necessity!
I read that money is just an illussion. Its there but its not necessary. Because of the principles behind it. Money is used as a medium. To purchase something, you need. To obtain a certain lifestyle, you need to spend money. You see, the key word here is lifestyle.
What kind of lifestlye you want determines how much money you need. (statement A)
But for most of us, we live in the world whereby how much money we have, will determine what kind of life we live. (statement B)
We have to shift our life from B to A. Because, it is very important to know what you want. When you know what you want, be thankful for what you want, the How will come naturally.
Its like you have a dream, and you imagine of having it already, so you thank Allah (or whoever you pray to). Allah will see that you can appreciate it and your Doa will be fullfilled.
This kind of dreaming isn't just daydreaming or wishful thinking, it come with real feelings and mindset.
Gratitude is very2 important. I mean if you live in a small house and you want a bigger house. You have to be thankful for what you have first, then be thankful for what you will have. Because imagine God is sitting in your mind. He hears you complaining...'this house is so small, i can't wait to get our of this hell hole'...God is thinking, aren't you lucky you have a place. If you can;t be thankful for what i already gave you, I'm pretty sure you'll never be thankful for a bigger house.
True? I would think so...
Well, all this information didn't come from me, these statements were from books and friends whom i am thankful for.
Today, I made RM1***. I'm happy and thankful for the extra cash. I do know that all the extra cash that keep flowing in will change my lifestyle.
Dear Allah, thank you for the life i have, for the family i have, and for the money that changes our life. Thank you.

New Wardrobe

I absolutely have limited clothes to wear. So limited that its just not funny anymore.
Let's see, I've got 3 reasonable casual tops that actually fits. I'm so sure any woman can tell me that I need to go shopping.
The root of this issue. well...I am to be blamed. Everytime we're at the mall, I'm hovering over the kids things. So excited with the baby Gap, Mothercare, yada yada, that i tend to forget about me.
So, this weekend, I'm buying...
1. that new pair of crocs
2. at least 2 casual blouses
Oh my! to top up that task, I've to find a birthday present for Norman & Nabil. Then I need to finish the party packs.....
See! How not to forget about me? In the midst of preparing a shopping list for me, I've moved on to other things.

mmmmmmmmm
I'm visualising....my wardrobe filled with cloths that i can wear. The how doesn't matter, i just need the result..
hahah

She's now 1

Last Saturday, 16th August 2008, marks Ayesha's first birthday. Being her very first birthday, I decided that it should be celebrated on the day itself. So, there you go, one session on 16th and another party on the 31st (alongside Nabil).
Friday before the big day was a busy day for me. I had lunch with Mama, then we went to Hartamas to get the birthday candles. Then to Ikea/Ikano for more party materials.
Did i mentioned that i told Daddy its just a blow the candle event for Ayesha. hehe, turned into a makan-makan & party for the family too event.
After the run around town in Friday, i sent Mama home via LRT cause i had to rush home to get the kids ready for dinner. Unfortunately, Nabil was already asleep at 6pm, so on ly Ayesha went out for dinner with some friends at One World hotel. Food was good...Thanks, Yein.
Saturday morning was a juggle. We woke up and sang to Ayesha the whole morning (kes family members terlebih excited!) Then, Mummy & Daddy went out to get more presents. We got Ayesha a leapfrog reader and Nabil a small transformers (i tot the whole idea of Aysha getting all the attention would hurt him...) Lucky us, spending RM150 above at Toys R Us, got us some vouchers...untung! Then, i really wanted to go home cause the maid called saying Nabil was crying and he was so sad that mummy & daddy wasn't at home. So, home we went.
Oh yes, did i mentioned that we had to go to OU because Blacky was due for its wax and stuff. Yeah, a 10am appointment. Blacky was ready at 2.30pm.
But at 1pm, Daddy decided that he needed a haircut and insisted that Nabil & I went along for Nabil's hair cut too. I pulled a long face cause i really wanted to spend more time with Ayesha. I mean, its her birthday and she's with the maid athome....*%^*&^!!
Then it was the issue of birthday cake. I had decided on brownies (Secret recepie) and icecream. It takes 30 mins for them to get it ready, in the midst of it..blackout. So, no brownies...Daddy got the Oreos & Cheese.
Its 3.30 and i just got home with Nabil. Got the kids amost ready and along comes the guests......

jap, to be continued....

Tumbling Baby

This Saturday marks Sara Ayesha's first birthday. Also an old friend's daughter (Sara Erina) 8th birthday. As I am anxious for Ayesha to turn 1, my lil princess has got ideas of her own.
Ayesha loves to tumble. On the bed is fine with me. She would stand up and put her hands out, head down, and tumble down. Its fun and we enjoy it. But yesterday......grrrr, she tried to do it at the driveway. Although she was standing on the grass, she put her head on the cemented block. Needless to say, she scratched her forehead. Strong lil princess didn't cry when picked up and washed. She was still having fun. boleh tak?????
I am so geram with her. But lil princess loves being outdoors so much.
Today, I'll be in the office till noon. Then I'm off to get things for Ayesha's big day tomorrow.
What do i need?
Baloons..check
Party hats..check
Cake..Daddy!
Food..check
what else...
Present..check..erm, enough or not?
Candle..on the way
what else?????
I dunno.........

Diaper Outlet

Have you ever seen a diaper shop in KL? Nope, not I. Perhaps, its time for KL to have one?

I'd love to open up a diaper outlet. So that, mothers do have an avenue to actually see, touch and perhaps try on diapers before buying. Why is this necessary? Because I've kena a few times, beli diaper only to find out that its slightly small or too big for my loved ones.

I'm cool and i'll just sell it as second hand.

Second hand diapers you say? Yes, there is a market for it in Malaysia. But only for cloth diaper the reusable ones.

So far, i've found that Malaysian mothers prefers pocket and fitted diapers. AIO is not much of a fav cause a dryer isn't a norm her in Malaysia.

I see my diaper shop selling cloth diaper, diaposable diaper, swim diaper, and everything that has to do with diapers. Till then, I'm gonna promote cloth diapering to mothers!

What's not to love? The designs are absolutely cute. The rash is minimal (if any). If you're the one to count dollars and cents, try calculating. Its way much cheaper then disposables.

Nabil is occupied

Yesterday morning, Nabil had a surprise from his Gramps. It was a magnifying glass. Its much better then the one i got him a year ago cause its plastic. So, Nabil was everywhere looking for things to look using his magnifying glass. The whole day he was occupied minus the afternoon when he dragged Tah our into the garden looking for insects. They finally caught a butterfly and placed it in a jar. Then 5 minutes later, Nabil insisted that it's time for the butterfly to fly back home to his family. How sweet!
Then, he was back to hunting ants under the dining table, or anywhere he reckons he can find insects...
As i got back to my mom's in the evening, Gramps took Nabil out to buy coconut to make Durian gravy. They got back 10 minutes later with a toy escavator in Nabil's hand, and nothing in Gramps. Apparently, despite going out to get coconut, they got back with a toy instead of a coconut. The grated coconut was still sitting in the shop, waiting to be collected.
Funny, how a child can divert one's attention.
Needless to say, after the whole day of hunting insects and stuff, Nabil slept in the car on the way home.
This morning, he remembered his new toy and played with it the whole journey to Tah's house.
Mummy : what's that u got there?
Nabil : its an escavator, Gramps got it for me
Mummy : mmm
Nabil : and who got me my red yo-yo. Mummy!
Mummy : (smiling)

Isn't my soon to be 3 years old just charming.

It wears a skirt

This year has been great. Last month was my birthday and i got my very own car from Daddy. Its not my ultimate dream car, but its still one of my wannahave cars. Daddy got me a Honda Stream. We had been visualising for sometime already and finally its here. Daddy even let me have my own number WR Q471. That's suppose to read as WR QATi. That's the closest I'll get to my name..

Yesterday, Q471 went to the service centre for his very first service and to put on some skirt. It now wears a modular bodykit (so, i was told). This puts an end to calling Q471 a he cause he now wears a skirt. I'll call it my Blacky. hehhehhe

I've been told that since Blacky wears a skirt, he can't run on the bump. Must take care, if not the skirt will get spoilt. grrr....That's so like a girl! When u wear skirt, you have to take care of you manners, your sitting position. Part of the reason, as a girl i hated wearing skirts. My parents worked ultra hard to get in into one. They'll say things like how pretty i look, very nice, bla bla bla. Then I'll wear it but am uncomfy cause its a skirt. Later, i was introduced to the shorts that looks like skirts... LOVE IT!

Wait a minute...I was talking about Blacky... Neways, Blacky has been enrolled to a grooming to make sure she has her wax and all. Daddy spent a whopping RM650 on Blacky's grooming. Hey daddy, how bout spending that much on me? Next month? Thanks daddy!!!!

Today, I am focusing on happy thoughts. I'm getting ready for Ayesha's 1st birthday this saturday. Read, i say Birthday..not birthday party....:P
