We've made our full payment to lawyer today. Received discount for a few hundreds, it might be immaterial to some but to us...huhh dah cukup bagusla tuh :) Rezeki jugak kan!

Adik baby's clothes have been arranged nicely in his drawers, cleaned and folded. I've washed the curtains, my first time indeed ever since we moved in :p Umi has sewn (betul ke ni ape past tense sew?) a new mickey curtain for adik, am yet to see it in the next few weeks. Think of getting a new stroller since we already gave the one used by Idlan to his cousin. And yes a car seat as well, since we never have that before. Perhaps this might justify for another shopping trip next july? j-card day some more jgn marah org CBJ :p

We applied for a fixed line and streamyx, only just now to find out from the 100 operator that "tiada kemudahan servis di tpt anda." Apa kes ni...neighbour depan kami dah ade line. Musnah harapan nak berblogging time pantang :(

Our home refinancing process is nearly completed, i shall expect the co to start doing deduction from my salary next month. The bank has stopped taking our monthly loan repymt, and we got back our 2-mths installment, leaving us 'kaya' sekejap hehe. Used the money wisely to invest in PM, bought a 4-tier chest drawers for adik baby with 'good bargains', and the rest safely channeled to TH.

With the present gloomy market condition, pressure on increased inflation rates and the rising global CPO price, it's a high time for you to invest now. Go purchase additional units of mutual funds, take the opportunity of their current low price. If you were to invest in stocks, pay attention to companies with good cash flow track, and those who give consistent dividend and high payout ratio (source: Malaysian Business, June). TM stands among the highest in both category :p One word for caution, be sure you know your risk tolerance level, and how long you can be patient and stay persevere in the slow mkt environment.

It'll be less than a week before i move to a new division, kind of scare and cuak when i come to think of it...the new work, new boss, new environment..hope everything's gonna be fine. After 4 yrs in SAC, i'm glad that i'll be leaving the jobs to a group of good ppl. But the not so good part is that the new office is quite far from home, wth the increase petrol price, i definitely need to do some adjustment in my upcoming monthly budget :(

Bersemangat waja kunci jam pukul 4:15am dgn niat nak buat assignment.
Terlajak ke 5:30am.
Bgn bancuh cucur sempoi...konon nak bwk breakfast gi ofis sempena kempen
berjimat cermat.
Baru goreng satu round, gas padam....habis rupanye gasku!

Hancur niat murni pagi ni.
Cucur bertukar jadi nasi goreng kampung kafe ofis :)

ape citer last week?

Cuti-cuti Mesia seminggu, balik ke Kulim and sambung cuti ke Langkawi. Dah lama tak bercuti sakan...terasa sangat heaven dpt lupakan ofis sekejap!

Lepas 2 mlm tido di kg, kami ke Langkawi...bersama-sama family aku dan MIL. Drive 2 kereta dari Kulim ke jeti Kuala Perlis, memakan masa 2.5 jam.
Naik feri, hujan renyai2 sket, ombak kurang gelora...so tadela mabuk laut :)


Sampai langkawi, kami sewa Van nissan....muatlah utk angkat 6 adults, 1 kid & beg2 baju kami. Nak sewa Innova...terlalu mahal plak...kan skang tgh kempen berjimat-cermat!
Terus pegi shopping di kuah, kuar masuk HIG, Idaman suri dan kedai2 lain....beli set mangkuk corning ware, set glass dan coklat2 yg lazatss. Sangat penat....ptg baru check in sri intan. Sgt cuak bila kuar spotting yg agak byk...inform pruzz, dan dlm keadaan penat tu kami kuar balik ke town kuah mencari klinik. Idlan ditinggalkan bersama umi...meraung dia bila kami tinggal hehe. Mencabar betul cari klinik, dekat 1/2jam, time tu dah nak maghrib, klinik byk tutup...dan klinik kat langkawi mmg tak byk! At last jumpe klinik Dr Naga...naga pon naga la janji dia ade scanner. Alhamdulillah adik baby still moving...semua ok..syukur rasa. Mlm tu rehat jela...jln pon sopan santun je :p Sebenarnya mlm sebelum ke langkawi, ade sedikit air kuar...rasanye air ketuban kot...tapi aku tak ckp kat mak dan umi. Still relaks..sbb igtkan biasa je. Tapi bila kuar spotting, rasa cuak plak....macam tanda2 nak bersalin :p


Hari ke-2 dihabiskan dgn si jejaka2 mandi di swimming pool, then sambung shopping di pdg maksirat dan pekan Kuah lagi. Kali ni membeli blouse2, skirt, kain batik, travel bags besar 2 ketul dan 4 piece square bowl buffet set. Aku dilarang sama sekali mengangkut brg, makanya pruzz dan yg lain2 menjadi mangsa. Thank u B!!!


On the way back sekali lagi kuar spotting di jeti....mlm tu kat rumah MIL pon kuar sket...so cuti dihabiskan dgn berehat je. Tak berani jln byk2 lagi dah. Makcik still ade satu paper lagi beb!!!


Gambar? adela beberapa keping je amik thru phone...kamera bwk tapi sgt bijak, memory card tertinggal kat kl :p

the price hike

I care less about the sms received yesterday, let alone squeezing and queueing at the petrol pump...knowing how the chaos would be. Dengar berita semlm tensi banget rasa!

Anyway how do i cope with that?
First, to have a simple home-made breakfast for today. We settled for scramble egg, fish fillets and instant red bean pau. This is in response to our PM's call for us to change our lifestyle :p

Second, i turn out to be a very civil woman driver by maintaining speed at 100km/hr this morning... what an achievement hohohoho...considering you're driving in cyberjaya area! I resist my legs from pressing the pedal, stay at the middle lane while looking at others on the right lane, green with envy :(
Dunno whether driving at slower pace will give that much impact on fuel saving, but at least i tried kan!

arghh time tulis ni tetiba rasa tension!

Hah to make things worst, the new electricity tariff will take effect in July dude...sabor jela.
But im hepi since the co shares go up yesterday. And we received the dividend cheque 2 days ago.
Walaupun sket je...tapi duit jugak :)

sms contest

Lepas baca blog farra, terus saya click link ustaz zaharuddin
untuk tahu dgn lebih lanjut penjelasan beliau tentang latest SMS contest promote by Cel***.
Bayangkan betapa untungnya company jika sorang peserta menghabiskan wang sejumlah RM300, kalau 1000 peserta dah brape?

Mujurlah saya bukan jenis yg suke bersms utk masuk contest :)
So kengkawan yg lain, jgn mudah tertipu dan terpedaya dgn iklan2 menarik yg nampak macam sgtlahhh drooling tapi kite yg rugi!

pump

Elated :)
My Swing has arrived yey! Can't wait to have a look at it since it's still in uk, in a good hands of my SIL....tq unde!!! Price is a bit cheaper than here, and i get free milk freezer bags and bf booklet.

My big boy is getting manja than ever these days...at certain times becomes so cheeky when he called us kejap ayah, then ibu, the next minute i become mommy, umi......etc. Loves to sing lagu nabi-nabi, rasul, nama2 Allah...though some of the pronounciation still pelat2 gitu. His appetite is improving, eats rice obediently despite kena paksa dan bebel :p Last night he gobbled 6 cucuk of sate while ourselves settled for mee bandung muar :) Suke buat2 merajuk tundukkan muka...even at public, and we got no choice but to console him sbb nnt dia buat2 menangis sampai kuar air mata. Dramatis sungguh! Whatever he is, i really thankful for His precious gift, he is one gud boy that's very easy to take care of, dengar kata, sgt behave, cepat blajar....hilang rasa susah payah menjaga time dlm pantang dulu :p And yes, he follows our trait...kaki shopping complex! Every weekend demand pegi 'jalan-jalan'.

2 years ago.....how time flies :)

Fetuccine Alfredo

It supposed to be a long overdue post...requested by few friends of mine. Enjoys!

Fetuccine/Spaghetti Alfredo

Ingredients:
spaghetti/fetuccine - cook until tender
whipped cream
button mushroom - slice
chicken - slice
a bit of butter
olive oil/cooking oil
garlic, onion - slice
shredded cheese - i use Romano
oregano

the actions:
1. Heat the olive oil. Sautee garlic and onion.
2. Add chicken, cook until tender. Add button mushroom and let it cooked as well.
3. Add whipped cream (kotak kecik around 250ml kots). Let it boil for few minutes, then add a bit of butter.
You may add water if the gravy is too thick.
4. Lastly, add shredded cheese to your desire, let it melt, and put a dash of oregano for garnishing. You may also add black pepper to balance the cheesy taste of the gravy.

Ready to serve......sempoi je kan!
Sesuai utk mak pak and kanak2 :)

This is one of idlan's favourite (and of course myself la :p)..used to cook this since he was 1++ y-o apart from the normal bolognese sauce.
Idlan is a bit choosy when it comes to eating rice, so we normally resort to pasta for his lunch/dinner time (recently time malas mama just dial 1300882525 jerrr).
At least he still get the same amount of carbo for his daily intake.
Cumanyer the recipe doesn't include any vege...but u may always alter to your preference, add brocolli/mix vege/carrot or any vege of your choice.
