Neat!


Haha..
Nope! Not gonna write anything serious today..
=)

Last night, as the whole nation(I bet) were busy counting down for 2013, me and my boy were busy organizing our closet. Haha.. What a perfect activity to kill the boredom.. Well, Harris on the other hand, he was busy rearranging his bookshelf.. Hmm..Neat freak like his papa.. =p

Anyways, I think I have an issue here.. I tend to misplace my scarves everywhere in the house.. It's a huge problem for the last minute 'babe' like moi.. Taula, I need to rush everything in the morning and getting a matching scarf in split second is crucial for me.. The current method is to fold them and separate them using color coding.. Problem is, some of the scarves come with layers and different color tones.. It's impossible to see actual color if they were folded neatly on the rack..Get it?

So, this is the solution..To tie-knot them on the closet's hanging bar..The untied process is even sweeter..I can just pull the scarf effortlessly and I'm ready to go.. I just love watching my own 'rainbow' in my closet.. Hehehe..


Pretty neat kan? Well please ignore those bags..I need new storage system for them.. Urghhh...






ps:A lot of parents went to our kindy Open Day today.. Well tomorrow, I'm gonna wear my bunny hat and rock their hearts away.. In shaa Allah.. =)

Face massage!


Good evening everyone! How are you doing today? 

I just drank a glass of home made healthy drink.. Yummm...  Well, what I did was-blending the tomato with the Vitagen.. Actually the original recipe recommended Yakult but heck, I found Vitagen in the fridge instead, so whatevs! Hehe.. The easiest way to swallow tomato which is the most yikiestttttt vegetable ever for me... 

What have you done today? I was just relaxing myself (well I am still doing it right now) Just lazying on bed with my son.. Hehe..Well ladies, I'm so excited to write or share about something tonight.. So if you love your face and want to know more, keep on reading.. =p

Do you know what is the most important thing to do while washing your face? Massage. Surprisingly it's true.. We don't need expensive cream or any machine to do it, just use your reliable fingers and some cleansing oil.. 

As a normal human being, the first thing I did was to google the face massage steps.. Well I Google Image it.. And here it is, I found this photo with a single click on search button!.Amazingly, I felt wonderful after I tried it! Yeay!!



First thing to do is to remove all your make up with well, make up remover! Rinse it, dry it and relax for a minute.. I'm using my all-time favorite cleansing oil from SKII for this mission.. Hehe.. =)


This is my hero! =)


I usually feel a bit tight muscles around my jaw line (blame my habit- clenching it while watching TV) so I need to focus more at this area. Hehe.. So I was a bit biased when I reached step 1, 2 and 11! Okay, if you see the red arrow (from the photo above), it means that you need to move your fingers at the suggested area and if it's only a red dot, you only need to press you fingers at the targeted area.. Got it? Try it! 

After I was done with the massaging thingy, I took a tissue and removed all the excessive oil and then wash my face using the normal tap water... When I looked in the mirror I could see that my skin glowed and my cheekbones appeared! (thanks to step 5).. Even though I had no make up on, I do looked better than I had before.. Well just remember to massage your face 5 to 6 minutes while washing it... and please please please massage your face  starting at the centre of the face and move your fingers outwards.. You need to help your face to improve the complexion.. Biar darah hat muka tu jalan orang kataaaa...




I'm going to make this routine as my habit..Will you?

Walk and talk and eat


In case you were wondering, I went shopping with kak long and Harris today.. The plan was to get our children's  diapers at Tesco but heck, the route to Mutiara Damansara was congested and we just need to get away from it! So I drove a bit further to OU.. LOL..

Harris behaved quite all right today.. I'm happy since he didn't cause tantrum at the mall.. Phewwww...
Again, the first plan was to try Dubu Dubu's food but we changed our mind and went to Dave's Deli.. We were both easily get distracted like this.. What to do? Hehe.. I had a chicken chop and she ate chicken something something.. Too hungry to bother! But it turned out that Harris ate Kak Long's meal and mine too.. Hehe.. Lucky me and Kak Long were both on diet so he's actually doing us a favor.. =p



I'm so happy to spend time with Kak Long today and listened to her story about her visit to Japan.. Crap! Actually I'm more happy with souvenirs that she has bought for me and Harris.. Hehe.. Knowing that the cost of, well, everything in Japan are quite high, it made me realized that she will not get me  me anything if she doesn't meant it.. right?

Here are things she gave me this morning... (Plus packs of mochi and other weird foods)... 




A pack of sweets, (yup they were all edible), A box of these giant Pocky and an iPhone casing.. Okay, look at the phone casing on the right side of this photo. There is this big mirror attached to it! The first thing I told Kak Long when I received the casing was: 

'Kak Long! Acik suka gileeee.. TQ! I really need something like this! I need to at least know how do I look when I'm posing for the camera you know~! Amazing! Love it!'

And she said, ' Well, Kak Long memang tau kamu akan suka. Vain. '

Me: *shifty eyes*




But now...Look at the size of this Pocky! Kinkily big and adorable eh? 
Haha..
Guess what Harris got from his Mak Long?
Hmmmmmm


This is a burger set! The bread and toppings look so real.. Harris loves it so much that he asked for a real burger after that!.. Well now that he recognizes the burger's parts, I wish he won't request for extra cheese or lettuce or whatever.. Huhu

Anyways, as the whole nation is going ga ga about Mothercare's sales right now, Kak Long and I opted for Cotton On Kids today.. They were having sales as well.. And lesser traffic at the cashier.. We both were like being possessed as we enter the shop.. As we meet again at the cashier we were both pretended like we are strangers.... Why? Idk.. Maybe we don't want to feel guilty for sharing the bad shopping habit? Hehe..


These are all belong to Harris.. Nothing for myself.. Kesian kan?

T___T




Na'ah.. I'm kidding.. I bought this lotion and some cookies from M&S.. Well normally I would go for sweet and fruity scents but today I have lost myself.. I became a fan of powdery scents because of this line. I'm going to put this tube on my studying desk. I'm going to apply this on my hands as a 5 minutes  break ritual, well especially when I'm just at my desk for the day. :)
Ehem.. their Halloween's candy adalah sangat sangat adorable... Hmmmmphhh... Tapi tak sambut, haram.. 
Okay, that's all lah for now... I'm super fenatttt and I need a foot massage right now.. Believe it or not, I have walked for merely 4 hours today... 




Unbelievable..

Honest Housewives

Hehe.. 

*cough* 

The title, cliche enough?

Okay, now the boredom is testing it's power against me.. Blimey!
I feel kinda stuck. I've been at home for 2 months in a row now and I think a job would lift my spirits a bit... But if I went to work I would feel worse because I'd have to let Harris been raised by my maid (again!)when I'm off to work! 
Note: I used to leave Harris with my maid when I went to school for a year and he said, 'bobok' for sleep and that's enough.. 

I don't wanna blame anyone but yeah, it's my fault after all..For leaving Harris with her where I know the fact that she just sat in front of the couch and watched Indonesian Sinetron while letting Harris plays by himself all the time while I'm busy at school~!!!  

pffffttt! pfffffttt!

*inhale...exhale*

Look, I'm not gonna finish my study for at least another year. I want to work again.. I don't mind working as a barista while waiting for my Master to finish. But Shah said no about the idea. He said, "Why would you stay outside and make coffees for other people when you can play and teach Harris words and numbers. I gave you enough money, didn't I?"

But, it's not about the money. He will never understand me.. But then as I look into my son's eyes, the happiness he shows when I'm around and how excited he is when we learn and play together-that moment is priceless! 

Fuck. Ok. Shopping can wait.

I know that I need to wait until my son goes to school so that I'll have a better chance of getting a proper job without worrying every hour about him... but thats 4 years away!

Anyways,
Ilyana and I, we were both housewives. The only difference is- she's a superwoman with 3 kids already.. Amazing.. I always complaining about how much energy does Harris has? Where did that energy comes from? ... And can you imagine living with 3 kids? Whoah... I may pengsan the whole day..

So yeah, I always ask her about everything.. Recipe, children's behavior, husband FAQ (hehe) and well everything..

The other day I told he that I am worried about my skin condition. That I have pigmentation all over my nose and cheeks.. So she asked me to show my bare skin to her.. I did and so was her.. Hehe.. She was so brave to upload the photo on her Instagram... Pfffttt.... Crazy! Well I didn't.. So to be fair, I'll post our photos here on my blog.. Hah!



Almost identical kan? The eye bags and of course pigmentation~!!! Damn you pigmentation~!!
You know what, I googled the natural ways to reduce or eliminate pigmentation on our skins..

The sweet  Lemon
Use once a dayThis one’s just as easy.  Squeeze a bit of lemon juice onto either a cotton pad or bud and dab on the age spot(s).  Don’t use more than once a day and wash the lemon juice off after 10 mins or so.

ps: Il, sorry that I posted your photo without permission..HUHU.. =p

A mask and a friend

Hey, good afternoon everyone..What's so good about Monday ye tak? LOL..

Yesterday was a great day..That I can tell you..Hihi..Started my day with my bestie Ayu for breakfast at 8am..Awesome nasi lemak with paru and gooey egg! But wait, do not shake your head yet.. I didn't  take lunch and dinner yesterday.. Just a cup of coffee during tea time...

I went back home at 10 am..
Harris is still in his dreamland, thank God! So I took my shower and decided to do something with my face.. First, I 'pre-heat' my face using my warm jelly mask and after that I used SKII's essence for 20 minutes.. My heart was literally jumping up and down as I know that my face will glow after I take out the mask.. Yippeeeeiieeeee...


I bought the mask sheet at Daiso for RM5..there are 15 pieces inside the pack.. The price is cheap, and it doesn't matter does it?As long as it can soak the essence and doesn't give me rashes, well I dont mind! Cheapskate la katakan
*Grinning*
But what really matters is, the essence..
Yup, rabak poket but I'm happy..
Happiness is the key of life, yes? :-p

At 3 pm I whatsapp May to get some coffee..She just lost her newborn baby recently..It breaks my heart listening to her story.. Well she has to endure the pain for hours before her baby was born..It was a baby boy, and he was too weak to go under surgery.. The painful moment when she and her husband have to sit there in the same room, watching their precious baby's heartbeats decreasing rapidly..He was only alive for 10 hours..This couple is still trying to live their normal live.. I really wish that they will be blessed with another baby, healthy baby Amin..
Lucky for her, Hijrad is a very loving and supportive husband.. I accidentally saw his eyes got watery when May tells me the story..

Dear God, please let them get over it and be happy again..pleasee..



I have learned so many things yesterday:

*Do not take my husband for granted
*Be thankful for Harris who is healthy and smart.. Alhamdulillah
*Cherish my friendship
*Be a good listener
*Starve for the sake of skinnier body ad flawless face (exaggerating!)

LOL, that's all..


**Dulu masa sekolah we had a wannabe group.. There were 5 of us... Well, I was Geri back then  (bajet sexy) and May was Mel C (bajet athlete) Kui Kui Kui..

Ms Olive and Apple

Okay yes I couldnt lie.. Life is getting easier these days..Currently I dont have to leave my bed til noon-refreshing! But there are days where I still wish that I could getting ready for work and enjoy my hot shower ( it's irrelevant to take hot shower at noon)

Ehem.. I think I need to enjoy my 'luxury' of waking up late while I can.. Hehe..

So today is the day where I feel ugly..Top to toe(s).. So let's start with my hair.. Now they are rebelling on me...sulking in their on way, hence the split end! With teary eyes, I googled on how to cure split end...

The answer is----------> Olive Oil

So I hurry down to mom's kitchen and found these two fat jars..

Apple vinegar and of course, Ms Olive Oil! For those who wanna try this remedy, please don't hesitate... I've tried it and it works awesomely, thank you...

STEP 1: Warm the olive oil and gently massage into your scalp and hair...Don't leave even a single strand! Wrap your hair for a while (I used Harris's towel since it's smaller than my bath towel!) Leave it for 30 minutes.

STEP 2:Using a bit of shampoo, 'kill' the oily hair and rinse it... Take a cup of Apple Vinegar and pour it on your hair... Massage your scalp again and rinse it with water... If you can't stand the smell (like me) use a tad pump of conditioner...

STEP 3:Make a cup of tea and enjoy your new shiny and less itchy scalp while praying for Suraya's happiness.. =)
These are my heroes of the day.. 
Cheer and applause for them please.. =))





Ps:I'm applying olive oil on Harris's hair now... You'll thank me soon son, for now-stop fighting and surrender you hair to mommy~! Lol
