Behind the Scene of Being a SAHM

It's been almost a month since I left all the hectic 2 monitors at office
I got lots of respond from my friends especially from FB
"Bestnya jadi SAHM"
"Mesti syok tak payah tension kena marah dengan boss"
"Faatih mesti seronok mak dia ada"

Yes, people could expressed anything coz it look nicely on the outside
But you'll never know until you experienced it.

I tak maksud yang jadi SAHM ni menyusahkan coz, there're bunch of reasons why women out there kebanyakannya bersara awal untul jadi SAHM.

Baru-baru ni Parlimen Malaysia keluarkan statistics almost 70% wanita berumur 35-40 tahun bersara awal untuk memberi tumpuan kepada keluarga tetapi main reason adalah kerana kerisauan terhadap taska-taska yang akhlak pengasuhnya semakin kurang. Sekarang banyak sangat kes dera kat taska, bagi makan yang bukan-bukan siap ber"youtube" bagai.

For me, I've reason why I resigned from current company. Let me just put that I back at home at 7pm-8pm and hubby not favour it at all. Despite the hectic at work which my office was 50km away from our house.
Yes, we live in Putrajaya and my office in Bangsar. Note that I'm not looking for another job opportunities near to our house but that's rezeki Allah gave to us.

For someone who worked almost 4 years, it's not an easy decision to just simply resigned without purpose. I do remembered when I handled the resignation letter to the boss and the reason I put was to concentrate on my family. My boss asked me,

"Waaa.....you sangat sayang you punya anak ye.."

I was like to answer...."What kind of question is that?" instead, I just answered,

"Of course sayang...." mana ada orang yang tak sayang anak? org yg dera kat youtube tu pon aku rasa sayang je anak dia cuma tekanan bila menjaga anak ni memerlukan kesabaran yang utuh.

That's why I cakap, nampak macam senang je jadi SAHM ni, dok umah, masak, kemas umah, jaga anak.

Butttttt.......being SAHM is more challenging than working in office!!

If kat office, you just facing your boss yang membebel buat kerja here and there. Depression on mental and physical tu habis kat office je. Tapi kalau kat rumah, penat dia lain macam especially when you have infant that in developing the get-to-know skills. Semau benda habis dia punggah.

You can imagine when you already prepare for cooking, he's the one who will take out all the utensils, pan etc. talking bout a little "chef" here. Blom lagi dia nampak you'ols siang ikan potong bawang pastu mengamuk nak pisau tu kan.....tak bagi menangis selagi bole. At the end I akan bagi je sudu, mangkuk and letak tepung supaya dia bole main.

Then it's time for you to tidy all the messiness, bila korang habis masak and complete kems semua yang bersepah, time tu la dia akan take out je balik mana you yang dah simpan tadi. ufffff........I rasa macam sume benda pon dan letak atas almari yg tinggi 2 metres atas supaya dia tak le capai. tapi nak buat camner, mak dia pon kemetot je.

Tu belom you gave him banana or roti or biskut and he'll be running around house. Sedar-sedar makanan tu ntah ke mana. Bila tanya, mana food tadi, tros je cakap..."naaakkkk" and you'll see that thing 2-3 hari lepas tu kat bilik iron, celah-celah almari and sometime inside your make up bag. Tak tau macam mana dia capai.

The only time you took your bath is when the time he is sleeping. I noticed that when I started staying at home, mana I pergi, Faatih dia akan ikut je and he will cry if he doesn't see me. In fact kalau ayah dia ada pon bila I mandi dia akan ketuk pintu bilik air tu sambil nangis and stay depan pintu sampai I keluar. Pendek kata..time tu mandi koboi je la. So bila dia tido la I took my personal time, mandi and tulis draft blog. Usually he'll sleep at 10.30 after took his breakfast and sleep till 12noon.

Once he wake up and nampak I kat laptop, dia mula la sibuk nak tengok laptop and youtube. That's why bila dia jaga je, I terus tutup laptop. Amik buku, read and play with him. Handphone, net letak tepi coz being kids who surrounded by IT and gadget around made him curious on everything. Trully, we do not own Ipad! Bukan tak nak beli, tapi it's not the time for Faatih to know Ipad. I prefer him to get socialized rather that sitting with Ipad especially when we have out dinner outside. Kebanyakan I tengok parents sekarang bila kat kedai makan, masing-masing anak bergayut ngn Ipad. No communication at all! But I ada jugak ajar dia using Iphone showing some youtube video with those ABC and kids song.

One thing I know, some youtube video buat budak terikut-ikut. I bagi dia tengok video minion yang rebut banana tu...and now he bables like minions pastu dok sebut apple jadi "bapple"

I've seen once, a family outing kat Tutti Frutti. Ayah baca paper, mak main handphone, anak lelaki main PSP, anak perempuan main Ipad. How do you guys reckon that?

That's why bila you jadi SAHM, tanggungjawab you sangat besar sebab apa yang anak you buat adalah atas ajaran you sepenuhnya and you should take that as your fault if bad thing happen. Sebab he's 100% most of time with you.

Jadi, bukanlah SAHM tu satu tugas yang mudah ye. I just spread the truth since people said "it's so easy being SAHM". Senang cakap, kira macam win-win situation between jadi working mom and SAHM. masing-masing ada pros and cons.

Cuma kelebihan you jadi SAHM you get to know the kid more. You macam dikira "bekerja dan belajar" jugak tau since you'll learn his attitude, knowledge, development. I'm still new compared to those yang dah ada 4 anak and I lagi respect yang beranak rapat-rapat macam anak 1st baru 1 setahun dah keluar lagi sorang. i even can't imagine I got "two Faatihs" right now. Pengsan I tell you!

Akhir kata, the decision is on yours whether you choose to work or being SAHM. Make sure you get your husband permission before you stop working coz I met some husband who dare to let her wife working rather staying at home. And if your husband asked you to stop working or resigned, you have no rights to obey him even though you may see it's not enough in this kind of world to survive since he's the one who the money maker coz you may not know what your husband been into.

Akhir cerita, nah...ni gambar yang buat mak dia rasa nak gigit-gigit jer takmo tinggalkan dia kat orang lain.

12 + 1

Sejak dua menjak ni saya mmg bz....berkejar ke sana ke mari. Sehingga hari Selasa (kelmarin) yang lalu saya tidak masuk ke ofis satu hari suntuk.

Tetiba colleague mesej : "Ada bouquet of roses utk u. Card attach with it. Nanti ptg sy bawak balik."

I was like...???? Siapa pulak yg hantar *budget Hilmi bukanlah seorang yg suka nak hantar-hantar bunga ni kan*

Bila balik rumah...saw this,

Shopaholic Confession #1

I seldomly confessed my obsession into shopping. The difference between me and Becky Bloomwood is she had 12 credit cards while errrr....I got less than that. ;p But what you need to know, you must pay it on time or you'll be charged with the finance charges.

I had my first job as Personal Financial Advisor at CIMB Bank. Advised people on how to manage their money, save their money and invest for future but when I look back how bad I am in term of managing my money, I knew that I don't deserve that job at all.

That's why I quitted. And now I need someone; a PFA for me. I guess. Haha

Naahh....forget about the "money management" thingy.

Hey...you guys heard the Malaysia Mega Sale rang their bell on 4th July? And they're up to 31st August. Kalau dapat gaji tu sempat la dua kali shopping....

Well, I had my picks for this month. It's SALE darling and you cannot resist! Trust me when you see the 50%-70% or 80% sign.



1. FCUK Fur Cardigan. (Its 80%, so I bought 2.)
2. MNG Chiffon Sleveless Top (Bought in Genting Factory Outlet. Steal!)
3. MAC Gel Eyeliner + Brush (Need something waterproof for eyes. Trust me, this would take a year to finish. Jimat kan??)
4. L'Occitane Shea Butter Lip Balm (Last bought a year ago. Best lip balm ever)
5. Bio-Essence 24k Gold Anti-Dark Circle (I had a serious dark circle and I have no idea which I product the best. Any recommendations???)
6. Rimmel London Magnif'eyes (Its 50% off. Aku pon nak mcm Kate Moss gak)
7. MNG Braided Belt (50% off)

The FCUK Cardigan made from 50% Rabbit Hair. I did realize it during try out tapi tak da la nak amik peduli sangat. Coz everytime I bought something, I'll read the label/made from. Kadang-kadang baju bapak mahal tapi Made in China je kan. Zach the one who taught me that. Dia suka selak-selak label kalau shopping.

Until I reached home, saw the tag again and there goes... a guilty feeling! Kesian ke kat arnab tu. But I'm sure they kill/slaughter it for meat kan? ala.....korang penah nampak kan burger arnab?? So daging buat burger, bulu diaorg amik buat baju. But its not 100% fur, so I won't be charge by PETA. Heh!

However, my fav pick of the month,

The braided belt from MNG. Since I bought the cardigan first, so I think it suits each other. I love the braided details made from cotton with blue/white/red mixing. And heyyy...its 50%. That's important!

Randomly conversation :

Friend : Betty....ada sale UCB (United Color of Benetton) kat Bangsar Village. You tak nak pegi??
Me : Naaah....I rasa enuff for this month (July). Lagipon I tak minat UCB.
Friend : What?? You mean there's another next month (August)???
Me : We'll see.....sale kan 2 bulan.
Friend : Pompuan....pompuan........(mengeluh panjang).

Dah nama pon perempuan kan? Tapi aku masih tidak boleh kalahkan Julie lagi laaa.....The Shopping Godmother! Hahhahah

Haaaccchooooo!!!!

Sebagai pemastautin di Klang dan bekerja di Port Klang *yes...very the hujung dunia u'ols*, saya mengalami masalah dgn habuk-habuk yg beterbangan do kawasan sekita ofis saya.

Akibatnya, kereta anda akan menjadi mangsa. Nak tau kenapa?

Lihat gambar-gambar di bawah....

Dari jauh memang korang takkan nampak tapi....jap eh...

Haaa....hambik ko! Debu tebal berinci-inci lekat kat kereta. Ni baru parking satu hari, belum 1 minggu korang parking. Isk..isk...isk...

Saya rasa diri saya mempunyai dejavu antara hujan dan cuci kereta kerana setiap kali saya basuh kereta kat sini lepas tu mesti hujan. Takpon besoknya hujan.

Tapi tak baik mengomel kan? Hujan tu kan rahmat dari Tuhan...

Dah mcm kuih "tepung gomak" kereta saya. *eh..korang tau ke kuih tepung gomak tu mcm mana? Kalau tak tau, p cari kat pasar mlm*.

Saya rasa lepas ni, harus lah saya tukar sport rim warna bronze sbb kalau tak basuh kereta buka perasan pon kan?

And now, saya mcm asyik pening kepala. Pastu mula lah fikir yg bukan-bukan. Ada fungus tumbuh kat otak la *terpengaruh akibat menonton CSI*. Ye la...fungus/cendawan.kulat kan bole merebak melalui udara dan masuk ke lubang hidung melalui penafasan seharian. Hambik ko!Harus scan otak ke??

Lihatlah ketebalan debu di atas kereta. Kalau tak da air, tak yah jauh-jauh nak tayyamum. Tepuk atas kereta saja sudah bole ye!

Walau apa pon dah rezeki saya kat sini. Nak buat mcm mana kan? Nak cari kerja lain, skrg zaman gawat. Kalau dok KL, mau maintanence saya sgt tinggi.

Ye la...kat mana bole dapat sewa apartment RM 150 pastu bilik sorang satu siap letak queen bed di samping swimming pool dam makan nasik+ayam goreng+sayur+sambal belacan+teh-o limau suam = RM 4.50???

Lebihan belanja haruslah buat shopping kan?? Heheh.. ;p opppssssss *nanti ada org marah*

ppsssttt.....ada sapa-sapa bole crkan saya kerja? Salary harus "mantoooop".

p/s: HAPPY 26th Anniversary utk kedua ibu bapa saya pada hari ini. Wish bila dah kawin nanti, saya juga akan bertahan lama seperti mereka. In fact, Johor pon cuti hari ini. Saya share bulan anniversary yg sama dgn parents saya...heheh

p/s/s: Semoga Cik Jules aka shopaholic tegar aka si pembuat cupcakes yg vogue cepat sembuh dari tonsil *akibat "kurang" berkaraoke, lepas nih kita buat straight 8 jam babe sampai tdo kat dlm bilik tu* anda. Saya baru melawat beliau di Ampang Puteri malam td. *dah sakit-sakit tu sempat lg ajak aku pegi Valiram Luxury Sales Jumaat ni kan. Mentang-mentang MC tapi masih mampu berjalan*

Aaaaahhhhh...segarnya!

I'm now in searching for this : Evian Brumisateur® COSMOPOLITAN New York Edition.

Anyone knows where to find it? I read in the mag that this spray mist cost at RM 37.90! What a price for 150 ml!

The sleek and chic bottle with the design from Stephane Manel, an internationally know fashion illustrator. I found that there're 3 bottles actually beside New York Nights and Paris Fashion, there's Shanghai Fashion. But the New York Nights attracted me more :)

Here one of description about this bottle that I got from Evian website :

Tone, refresh and moisturize your skin with Evian® Brumisateur® Facial Spray. Spray it on and feel the cooling sensation as the millions of tiny micro-droplets are absorbed and instantly go to work to moisturize and refresh. The Brumisateur® is nature's solution for glamorous looking skin based on Evian's balanced mineral composition and remarkable purity - the neutral pH of Evian® natural spring water invigorates all skin types. At home, in the office, on the plane, at the gym, or to perfect your make-up, make Evian facial spray part of your daily skincare routine, all year round.

Oh..not to forget the ingredients :

Ingredients: Evian® Water, Nitrogen. Evian is propelled by natural and safe nitrogen (80% of the air we breathe is nitrogen) so it does not damage the ozone layer. The canister is recyclable.

Botol nya mesra alam lagi.

See...it could wear with / without make-up! Means make-up tak cairkah kalau di spray dgn ini air?

One more reason, it's a perfect mist for "Summer" holiday aite? Apatah lg Malaysia yg mengalami iklim panas dan lembab sepanjang tahun. ;P

Now, tell me where can I get this urban chic mist??

Perasaan Bercampur-aduk

Sudah 3 hari saya tidak berblogging. Bukan sebab malas, tapi tak ada masa. Kerja sangat banyak ok! Yer la...bila menjelang awal bulan, banyak report yg harus disiapkan. Haih....

Kadangkala saya seperti bosan di tempat kerja. Tak tahu kenapa. Rutin harian saya sama : Bangun pagi-Pergi kerja-Balik kerja-Tido dan ulang kembali. Hurmm..mungkin saya harus mencari kelainan. Kelainan apakah? Ada idea?

Sebenarnya mak jatuh bilik air last week. Bila X-Ray, kaki mak patah bahagian buku lali. Alhamdulillah kaki mak selamat disimen dan doktor beri mak MC 1 bulan. Tapi saya risau sungguh! Mak tinggal dua org shj di rumah dgn ayah. Kalau ayah pergi kerja, siapa yg akan tengok-tengokkan emak? Yer la..dia kena pakai tongkat skrg. Saya sgt sedih......

Ptg lepas mak ckp kaki dia disimen, sy menangis sendiri. Dalam family sy belum pernah ada org sakit seperti tu, cuma ayah pernah masuk hospital masa raya 3 tahun lepas. Tu pon sy dah sedih. Mestila sedih kan sbb sy jauh. Lgpon, sy selalu ambil iktibar daripada kawan-kawan sy yg sudah tidak ada ibu atau ayah. Kesian mereka. Alangkah bertuahnya sy sbb sy masih ada kedua org tua jd kesempatan ini haruslah sy gunakan sebaiknya untuk meluangkan masa bersama mereka. Kalau ditakdirkan mereka sudah tidak ada lagi mcm mana? Dikala itu, menyesal sudah tidak berguna......jadi, luangkan lah masa bersama keluarga anda selagi boleh. Ambil sedikit masa utk gembira kan hati mereka.

Saya tidak mahu menjadi seperti lelaki dlm iklan raya Telekom yg lepas. Masih ingat?

Mujur cuti sekolah bakal tiba dan adik-adik saya dia UTM dan UiTM akan bercuti. Lega sekejap. Harap mereka boleh jaga mak.

Oleh itu, sy akan pulang ke kampung hari ini. Tak sabar nak jumpa mak!

Doakan kesejahteraan mak sy ya kawan-kawan! :)


Sebelum itu, sy nak ucapakan tahniah pd org nun di Aussie. Tahniah atas Master anda!



Satu cabaran sudah habis. Cabaran kerja bakal menjelma. Harap awak mengetahui bahawa sy menyokong awak sepenuhnya dalam apa jua yang awak buat :)

Selamat menempuh alam pekerjaan Sayang.....


Selamat Hari Minggu!

Not That Sentimental

How do you feel / what would you do if ur BF got a teddy bear from other woman?

1) You'll get really mad
2) Why oh why she gave my BF a big teddy bear?
3) Act like nothing happen

I don't really know bout how symbolic in every pressie we gave to a person but much I can tell the different between giving a teddy bear to a guy for his convocation and just a card?

May anyone tell me?

I accept that one of my best friend said it's just a "hiasan perhubungan". So just ignore it or she said I might would like to "pijak-pijak that teddy bear" when I get there. Aku tak la sekejam itu ok! See...I'm so tak kisah! I'm one of most good/sporting/nice GF in the whole wide world!!

It's good to have an honest BF like you Dear; however, do tell your gal pal if it's happen that I'm married to you, that teddy will not having it place in the house!!!!

You get me?? *ni dh ada aura psycho*

Oh...right at the moment I'm writing his blog, suddenly my boss give me a Nasi Lemak. How understand he is that my "weather" not that sunny! Thanks Boss! Arini satu hari aku akan mkn free...ahhahah

And..aha...CLUB 21 (AX, Emporio Armani, CK, Calvin Klein) will be having SALE this weekend at Bangsar Villang 2, Level 3. I guess this the best time to "pampered" myself after what I've been through last night.

Now, I can't hear that words "teddy bear" anymore. In fact, I must say my cruel heart saying I should hate any teddy figure!

Grrrrrr.................

Buzy-Bee

I haven't finish my "shopping raya", yet. There're vouchers to be redeemed. KLCC would be the right place for tomorrow xtvt.

Tinggal baju utk ayah jer blom bli. I saw a nice pair at Jaspal last weekend but the sleeve is too short for my dad. Org muda bole la. In fact, ayah dh inform awal-awal "No kemeja plzzz" SO I plan to buy t-shirt berkolar. Is anyone went to ISETAN? Agent Jules mnegatakan ISETAN tgh sale.

And I have to pick up my kuih raya, the Havana Choc *kuih nih sedap..plated with choc at crunchy biscuit inside...slurrp..lapa!* but bit pricey. RM 30 per 50 pieces. Nanti kalau dh bli sy tunjuk gmbr k.

Happy weekend dudes! *Tinggal 2 hari jer nak kg....yeay yeay*

Cik Nodie, reply msg gue plz!

xoxo,
Miss B

When you reach 24th...

So I had a "blast" day for my birthday.

The BF treated me at Tony Roma's for buka puasa Friday day. We had fun that night. Nuff said. The present I got? Tunggu.....

On Saturday, I went to Valiram Warehouse Sale with Jules. Semangat btol Si Julie sbb kol 9.30 am aku dh terpacak dkt Pavilion sbb nak g this sales kat Grand Millenium Hotel. Jules was looking for a new watch and yes! she got it but not in that sales. Masa kami p, tak rmai sgt so bole la "mencuci mata" dgn selesa.

The sales turned us down. Mahal giler dowh! Al-mkalumlah...kami nih remaja muda mudi yg hanya berpendapatan sederhana bukan bole pakai jam puloh-puloh ribu segala! Then the handbags? Bnyk la jugak Coach tp sumer out of season. *dah nama pon warehouse sales kan??* ahah...dah tu harga just 30% off jer from outlet. Baik tgu outlet sales tak pon bli online butik jer. Then before korang masuk, u just tinggal ur handbag without safe kat luar. Tak da mcm L'oreal sales ada org jaga kan? Siap letak no. Ni tak..main letak atas meja.

And siap ada sorang pompuan nih argue lagi ngn one of sales person yg jaga kat situ. Her handbag is Genuine Leather and white. Tak tau la brand aper. Tak sempat mak nak jeling. Dia takut handbang dia yg genuine leather tu tercalar bagai la kan. Mcm la handbag aku tak genuine leather ker? Ada aku peduli ker care kat handbag aku kat luar? I bet org yg pkai LV ke Gucci pon selamba jer letak kat situ...harh..har..har..opsssss!!

Sy hampi terbeli sehelai tudung Shanghai Tang yg berharga RM141 tp Jules kata tak worth it la for tudung. Cotton biasa jer but the texture lembut and corak lawa. Hurrm...btol gak kan? Baik bli Tie Rack..hehhe

Dipendekkan citer, kami straight ke Pavi utk cr Julie nyer watch. Last-last makcik nih bli DKNY. Hadiah besday dr Pak Su dia kata nya di top up dgn duit sdri. Skrg kalau shopping kat Parkson, each RM120 yg kite spend dpt voucher RM10 so Jules is near to RM50 voucher. What we do? WE? Kami pon mencari "sesuatu" utk di top up supaya dpt voucher tuh..hehe Well, I did buy something from Parkson. Treatment utk diri sdri for birthday la konon nya. ehhee..then we went to Jaspal. Ada further markdown!!! Matilah tgk handbag sumer kan? Last-last Jules did asked for her birthday pressie, she want a handbag..apa lg. Terpaksa la aku n Nadia blikan *walaupon Nadia tak da* main ckp thru phone jer nk mintak approval Nadia...hoohoh And...jgn tak tau, I got a same handbag with Julie for my birthday. dari Nadia n Julie..ekkek. Now, me n Jules got same purse and handbag!!

After that, we went to Bijou Bazaar at Menara Hap Seng. yes..BB were having 3 weeks in row for their bazaar. Meet other traders : Jezmine, Qilahlala, Yuyu, Shasha and Dilla Whimsy *tp adik..tak sempat tegur u..masa tu bf u jer yg jaga* I bought a vintage blouse for RM 7.50 jer! Time ni tak shopping bnyk sgt @ BB sbb dh shopping habis kat Pavi kan. This week ada lagi. Jom kite p ramaia-ramai!!!

That Saturday night, I had my seafood dinner at Umbai! Went with my BF and bro to meet my parents there...weehee...mkn seafood! Hmabik ko segala bagai seafood aku mkn, ikan siakap sweet sour, kupang sambal, sotong goreng tepung, butter prawn and ikan pari bakar bersambal. I only didin't eat that Lala masak sambal. Haiyoo....dah le mlm before aku melantak Skewed Shrimp kat Tony Roma's bkn seekor, berekor-ekor. Maka...

besok nya perut sy "meletop" la kan? Kne diarrhoea yg sgt teruk...smpi aku dehydrated. Memeula aku tahan jer pose. Sbb kunun nyer nak buka puasa dgn INF kat Rasta. Semangat nih smpi msg K.Lynnz and Dayat tny map. Then masa tgh gosok baju tuh...*we've to wear baju kurung* sy dh start pening. pastu masa berdiri tuh...asal la mcm dunia nih half-gelap jer. Sy tau time tu mesti sy nak "black-out" kire fainted kalau sy tak baring. Kang x der org nak sambut aku pengsan selain osmet aku. Tros tglkan iron board and baring kat katil..lemah giler bdn sy time tuh! Apa lg...dgn daya yg ada..maka tepat 3.30 ptg sy buka pose...tsk..tsk.....tak kurang 4 jam jer nak berbuka tp nk selamatkan diri, tak kisah la. I miss buka puasa with INF..huhuh

Itulah al-kisahnya 1 hari selepas birthday say. Haih...agaknyer perut terkejut kot terlalu bnyk "menerima" seafood. This Friday, ada buka pose department pon nak mkn seafood gak. I'm thinking twice nak pergi ke tak. Phobia aku dibuatnyer...

For those yg wish for my birthday, thank you so much! Tak kire dr SMS, phone, Friendster and Facebook! Time kasih!

Thanks to my BF for the "bunga". Walaupon its only 3 ketui ja tp sy x kisah.

Me : Naper u bg 3 ketui jer bunga? Naper tak 24??

Him: Sbb 3 tu maksud nyer "I Love You"

Me : Heheh...sengih *kerang busuk*

I never demend for 24 roses and thank God he knew yg aku tak suka sgt bunga. Better u give me others yg I bole pkai whatsoever. I mean for 24 roses, sy bole dpt 1 pair heels from Aldo / 9West kan? But already got "the precious" one from him in advanced! APa dia? *ehem.ehem* Thanks Sayang...

Thanks to Darlings Julie and Nadia for Jaspal's! hehe..jom buka pose for last time!!! Bila lagi nak guna voucher Parkson ko kan Julie?? ehhe ;-P

Till then.

*Maaplah entry pjg berjela yer*

OMG, I yet to applied my Hari Raya Leave. Matilah nanti bos tak approve cuti....Korang dh apply ker??

MH128...MH means Malaysian Hospitality

Alhamdulillah...he safely landed! *yippy yeay..yeay!*
A Dior Addict 2 made me more happier...hahah ;-P

Selamat Berpuasa to all! ;-)

XxX Part II

the room for 1 person..

Internet provider at RM26/hour

klcc from my room

..........(bg tgk gambar dulu..)

ok...here the best part kenapa saya terperanjat.

I know some of us guess very well. And yes...all my stuffs gone. Nasib baik my luggage dah letak dlm kereta pagi before I go to course but hey...I got 4 paperbags missing here....

-1 paperbag consist of telekung

-1 consist of my heels

-1 from my shopping items from La Senza

-1 from XXXX consist of new handbag (it cost me a bomb!)

Masa tu panic dh tak tau mcm mana. Nak nangis pon ada..hurmm..tapi takde la nangis..badan jer jadi sejuk2.

So I went downstairs to the receptionist and call the manager in charge. mengadu...bla..bla..bla..manager explain they miss my name. They thought I've checked out at 12noon (what the heck?) and I left my things (ingat aku nak sedekah ke?). Bla..bla bla.. Manager did apologized on behalf hotel and said my items will return to my room by maid in charged.

OK la kan? sbb aku tak de nak mengamuk ke ape sbb dia ckp nak pulang kan. They I'm waiting at my room. Tunggu punya tunggu...ada la dkt 20 minit. So ding dong..my bell ringing, maid dtg bg balik brg. But...the only she returned is my paperbag yg ada telekung tuh. She dumped all from the 4 paperbags jadi satu...caihh...dh la ko letak kasut aku kat atas telekung. Hangin la kan tapi bole dimaafkan sbb maid ni Thailand. And she did explain in Thai..sorry aku tak paham. Tapi aku hangin la paperbag XXXX tu takde so aku mintak dia suh amik. Dia blk semula bilik maid dia amik utk aku...tapi paperbag g lagi 2 tak dpt la..so x kisah la.

Until one time I realized..I do left my MAC concealer and L'Occitane Lip Balm at my room before I left in the morning. And she didn't return it! Aku pon dah malas nk bertekak dgn si Thai nih, bwk kuar brg2 aku and check out.

Sebernanya aku tak de la nak mengamuk ke ape kan tp ade sket dissapointed la. Sbb maid nih tak jujur. She did open my La Senza items...korang paham kan? La Senza (read: undies) pastu dia bukak2 koyakkan kertas yg balut undies tu. And how 5 star hotel system miss a customer name? Maybe 1st time kot. And..maybe because the ironic of my room no 911...talian segala kecemasan. So benda2 yg cemas berlaku di bilik ni. Haha...

Ouh...did I mentioned I got Top 3 Most Influnced Participants? The Top have been chosen using voting by all participants. And I'm the only standing lady heheh ;-P And I got this as present......

I read it half...and I like it. Penuh vision...

Dan sbb apa aku hangin pasal XXXX paperbag...a night before, I bought...

.

.

.

Yes...its MBMJ!! (I told you it cost me a bomb!) *Barang dlm paperbag dirahsiakan*

So guys...berhati2 dgn item yg korang beli. Tak kira la mahal ke murah ke, tu tetap barang kita. Esp. when you're staying at hotel and you ask the maid to clean you room when you left. Make sure check your items.

There's a case (in Italy/EU) where a maid exchange an original LV bag (shopping item) with a fake one. And you'll never realized it until you get back home! ;-)

Have a nice day!

Betty

Im back!!! Yeah...nearly 3 week tak update kan? Been busy with work yg melambak2 after blk dr course. It took 2 weeks for me to settled/cleared my emails, board report, performance report (omg i didn't send notice to all branches yet!..ok..sent already) fuhh..i told ya...pegi course mmg seronok..tp yg tak seronok bila blk ke office..keje menunggu. In fact, I did sleep at 5.00am one day during course to finish my report. (tanya Nadia...smpi dia blk dr keje pon aku tak tdo)

I enjoyed my travelling using ERL (Nadia kata...org naik ERL hensem2..macho2..). Btol la kata ko...cuci mata aku dua hari. *no heart feeling yer sayang...i main2 jer* I did say I got 2 night staying at hotel right? Yeah...at the R hotel..(you know already la). It's gr8 to get free 3-meals everyday (whole week), in fact + 3 more for each hours we break.

The food? wohoo...glorious! tak bole nak xpress mcm mana. For the whole week I'm trying to control myself to eat just once for ice-cream! Sekali jer tau dlm seminggu! But I can't control myself for desert especially for the strawberry + marshmellow chocolate fonde. Tak le tahan dah...I ate nasi only once a day. Tu pon amik suku jer. The only thing I'm not touched was the oyster. I don't eat oyster. Raw or cook. Ko letak segala cheese bagai kat atas oyster tuh..aku tak mkn punyer! Mak geli hokeyy! Esp. when some of my coursemate said "The feel of eating oyster bila bende tu pecah dlm mulut" huh? eyuuuhhh...Btw..I shud start fasting next week. Korang dah habis bayar puasa ker? Plus with jogging...utk. megembalikan metabolisme yg tertgl masa course. Did I mention we got free of using gym? *aku tak guna pon*

The room? I got my own Superior Room. 2 katil single tapi tdo sorang...best bukan? Each one of us dpt satu bilik sorang. Membazir utk company bukan? Tapelah...diaorg bnyk duit kot. Utk privacy katanya. Coz you can let any members of ur family tdo sama. Aku ajak Nadia..tapi dia keje smpi mlm. Sbb aku tak penah tdo sorang2 dlm hotel. This 1st time. Something bad happen during my checked-in and checked-out. I didn't want to mention the BAD words tp kalau korang terkena..korang pon hangin mcm aku.

First checked-in, my name was not in the list. What? I don't blame the hotel receptionist, I blame my HR for not included my name. It took 1 hour for me to get my room. Time tu sumer org dah check in. Aku sorang dok tgu receptionist to get a room for me. Masa tu jam dh 8.25pm. And my night xtvt start at 8.30pm. I'm not eating yet..blom mandi...tak tukar baju! At last, got my room at 8.30pm. Alhamdulillah...I was located at 911. Dgn tak masuk bilik, terus pegi cafe mkn. Thank God I'm not the one yg tak mandi lg. Ada jer..tp tak selesa la sbb dr pagi kan pakai baju yg sama. Lepas habis xtvt tros amik beg kat kete, masuk bilik, took hot shower and tdo. Thanks to the good aircond..aku tdo dgn lena nya.

Last day..it should be a happy day..at last..final day! But turn to be a sad day...yeah...loads of dissapointment! Us should check-out at 12noon, mcm check-out biasa but we got extend our check-out time until 2.45pm, kira after Jumaat prayer la. While org lelaki pergi sembahyang, org pompuan bole sembahyang kat bilik. Masa pukul 11 lebih tu aku dh ckp kat coursemate aku takut diaorg pindahkan barang2 kita bila kol 12 tapi dia kata takda mcm tuh sbb hotel management agree to extend. Then after lunch, I'm back to my room la. Otw blk room tuh, kat lift jer dh ad sign tak elok. My access card tak bole gune. Damn! Mean I cannot go to my floor la. Thank God ada coursemate yg dok level 8 so aku ikut dia smpi level 8, then naik tangga smpi bilik. It should be aku bole tekan butang lift tu access level 9, tapi time tu tak bole.

Sampai bilik jer....jeng..jeng jeng....alangkah terperanjatnya aku! .........(bersambung...)

*entry ni pjg sgt la.....g beli kuih kejap*

"Coach" Abilities

No...the title didn't relate with any sports' coach Or the RM 1 million (per person!) rewards that will be given by government to athlete who won Gold Medal in this coming Olympic. (What a very the membazir betul! Kata suruh rakyat berjimat-cermat siap mkn ubi kayu bagai...tp habiskan duit berjuta-juta bagi rewards kat atlet!. Well at most 400k enuff for them. Kan?. Kalau amik lg 600k tu bagi kat org miskin yg rumah kopak-kapik,bagi better oven/dapur or tanggung yuran anak2 diaorg, beribu-ribu org bole dpt. Nonsense!!!)

Mind my language but i'm sick with current issues involving our government lately. Sampai aku dh malas nak tgk berita. Bukak berita pon bila time nak habis jer. Tu pon sbb nak tgk berita bas accident ker, bank/kedai emas kene rompak ker, tak pon ada org mati kene bunuh. Korang perasan tak bnyk giler kes bunuh kat Malaysia skrg. Bunuh org pastu buang jer dlm hutan takpon kerat kepala/tangan segala anggota badan. Opsss...terlebih suda!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just leave the hell government issues, lets talk bout fashion! Yeah....!!

Well....I never fancy Coach handbags esp. their signature types, due to there're so many fake in the market. Ko pegi Petaling street, Danau Kota, Uptown, Downtown sumer ada! I bet if you're holding the signature handbag, ppl see it as a fake one. Bencikan?

But...their current Bleecker collections really catched my eyes. * I want..I want!*

I took my current needs + the lust + money can buy as my favoritas.

1. Coach Bleecker leather Mini Skinny

This little one had my attention to put business card and credit cards. Though it more to keyfob but for person want to seperate their other cards would love this.

2. Signature Stripe Capacity WristletWalaupon sy ckp sy tak suka Singature Collection tapi utk wristlet, dikecualikan. Coach known as their symmetrical "C" sign. Saper reti tgk, the "C" signature adalah symmetry utk most Coach Signature handbags unless their Holiday type (hanya menyebut bebrapa jenis). I love the turnlock details. Senang jer bukak. It's easy for those who want to leave their handbag and bring small money to lunch/mall. Of course white is my color!

and lastly..of course you need handbag to put all above things kan? So I got....

3. Bleecker Leather Woven Pocket Hobo

Its definitely my choice for handbag! Its simple, elegant yet you can wear it in casual. I chose it due to my office environment plus, I could wear it in any occasion.

This are just my choices, you could have yours too. So no harm/heart feeling when I post this topic. When I posted things like this, it doesn't mean I will buy the stuffs. It's only an idea for part of our life cycle. Hence, I'm controlling myself from shopping/avoid malls for future saving ;-)

Sapa suruh diet....sampai tak makan

Semlm sorang budak opis aku pengsan. Pompuan la.....maka ramai la jejaka-jejaka yg offer nak angkat sama ada bujang ataupon kawin *hampes*. Tapi takpe, ramai akak-akak opis aku yg masih terdaya angkat dia pi surau before aku and bos dia hantar pi klinik.

Sampai klinik, aku tolong tolak dia atas wheel chair masuk bilik doktor. Bila doktor check, gula dia rendah. Doktor pon ckp "Ni mesti tak mkn nih. Awak lunch tak?"

"Tak...." dgn nada lemah budak tuh ckp. "Saya kene cirit-birit pagi tadi". Aku pon dok kat depan doktor dgr jer. Tak nyampuk.

Last doktor pesan before kiteorg keluar, "Jangan lupa makan, jangan bagi perut tu kosong. Ubat pon habiskan..."

Aku pon tolak opis mate aku keluar. Lepas amik ubat, aku gi 7E, blikan dia roti ngan jus Mango *susu tak bole minum* utk isi perut dia, the kitaorg hantar dia blk umah.

Tadi pagi, opismate aku yg sama hantar budak tu ckp dia kene admitted kat hospital mlm td. Ayah dia kecoh2 call opis mate aku salahkan dinner kiteorg nyer makanan. Nak kata dia sorang yg mkn, aku rasa ada lg 125 org yg makan makanan yg sama. Tak pulak ade ape2 jadi kan? termasuklah aku.

Citer punyer citer, di sebalik kepengsanan budak tu, rupenyer dia diet giler2 sampai tak mkn. Isk2....aku tak tau la dia diet sbb "sen" takde ke *almaklumlah, nk hujung bulan* atau dia nak jaga badan sbb dia nak kawin akhir tahun ni.

Hurrrrmmmm.............


*Kalau nak diet, at least makan. Tapi..kuantiti harus sket...pastu kene la excercise"

Confusing Retro

Company dinner hampir tiba! *fuhh..at last* yer la...my GM asyik out station gi overseas and holiday, habis dinner pon kene differ. Somehow, aku punyer plan nak pakai apa malam tu pon dah berubah. The theme seems unchanged - Retro Night. Isk..isk...


Now I plan to wear the high waist black pants..Nadia kata sgt "in" utk waktu skrg nih. Nek Jules pon sama. Yet, I didn't decide. Either the flare of the skinny one. But....mengikut nasihat orang yang hidup di zaman Reto *ibuku la.. *. Skinny adalah sgt glamaour waktu itu.

So skinny?....

or Flare...??

Pilih..Pilihan...Choose.

psssttt...Malaysia Mega Sale starting in June - August. Jom shopping!

4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged, and to read your blog.

FACT no 1 : Org akan menganggap saya seorang yg sombong...atau "vain" bila 1st time jumpa. Tapi...mereka sebenarnyer silap. Saya cuma kurang bercakap dgn org yg tidak saya kenali. I didn't talk much to stranger but u'll get to know me better after that. Tgk lah betapa becok nya saya selepas itu. ;p

FACT no 2:Saya suka membeli. Ada orang gelar itu "shopaholic" tapi saya rasa saya bukan lah shopaholic tegar sbb saya beli utk kegunaan diri saya. Tak membazir...saya hanya beli apa yg perlu. Ada org bebel kat saya...asyik shopping jer..bazir duit la..bla bla..tapi.......Biar mahal asal tahan..itu motto saya =)

FACT no 3:Saya amat meminati muzik. Muzik yg saya kurang layan adalah muzik dangdut dan rock kapak.

FACT no 4:I drove fast. Yer..saya suka bawak kete laju. Kelajuan bergantung kepada keadaan jalan. (eg. highway,jalan biasa). Ye...saya pernah disaman di Highway Utara Selatan arah Johor Bahru. Tu la 1st time saya ditahan & disaman. Kelajuan? ala...130km/j jer. Dan jgn tak tau...saya pernah berlumba dgn bf saya di Jalan Keramat-Jelatek-Setiawangsa-Wangsa Maju. *of cos saya kne bg dia menang..nanti dia merajuk* Tapi saya hampir menang waktu tu. heheh

FACT no 5:Saya seorang yg suka simpan kalau ade masalah. Lebih kpd memendam dlm hati. Kalau saya rasa saya tgh sedih waktu tuh...saya bole buat2 gembira.

FACT no 6:I'm fast food freak. Yer...saya amat suka McD. I just can't resist..hahha

FACT no 7:Saya amat takut dgn boss saya. Walaupon dia seorang yg suka melawak tp bila berhadapan dgn dia..saya akan diam dan kelu. Kdg2 saya ada kutuk boss saya...ehehhe tapi dia seorang boss yg baik. Sbb apa saya takut boss saya? Sbb dia suka bagi kerja last minit. Ayat biasa boss saya? "I want it super fast!" huuuuuuuuu.......

FACT no 8:Saya amat sayang family saya...bf saya..kawan2 baik saya. Walaupon kdg2 saya marah dgn diaorg tp diaorg lah tmpt saya mintak tolong bila susah. Btol tak?

Dengan ini...saya tag Cik Nodie, Julie, Ekin, Jezmine, Jismin, Mun, Abg Fahmie dan wife tersayang K.Alice...hehehe

Fashion or Charity??

What do you think when you saw picture above? (Re : LV,Paris Hilton) Illustrated by Nadia Plesner (a Danish student artist and designer), this "Simple Living" campaign picture has dragged her into a court case as Louis Vuitton is now suing her for voilated their intellectual property.

This Simple Living Campaign is to support Divest For Darfur and 100% profit from selling the t-shirts and posters *Yes..its a front of t-shirt and a poster* are donated to Darfur people. Even one Malaysia's TV station having the "Dapur untuk Darfur" campaign*ala..yg iklan Mawi tu*.

But since the image drew by her represents one young Darfur child holding a Tinkerbell-like dog and one of LV's Multicolor handbag look-alike , she's got the lawsuit letter from LV's appointed law firm.*look at the picture, have you seen the "LV" logo there?*

Fashionistas might point out their fingers to Plesner but national voluteers or activist might want to support her.

From Nadia Plesner mind :

" My illustration Simple Living is an idea inspired by the medias constant cover of completely meaningless things. My thought was: Since doing nothing but wearing designerbags and small ugly dogs appearantly is enough to get you on a magasine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserves and needs attention.

When we’re presented with the same images in the media over and over again, we might start to believe that they’re important. As I was reading the book ”Not on our watch” by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast last summer, I felt horrified by the fact that even with the genocide and other ongoing atrocities in Darfur, Paris Hilton was the one getting all the attention. Is it possible that show business have outruled common sense? If you can’t beat them, join them. This is why I have chosen to mix the cruel reality with showbiz elements in my drawing. "

So guys, Fashion or Charity??

****Due to Myanmar Nargis tragedy and Sichuan Earthquake in China, let us give our little RM1 to them for their foods/medicine/shelter. There're too many channels to mentioned. One could be better from us, Malaysians who knownly kind hearted and caring.

I had already show my support. What say you?
