I am waiting for hubby to reach home (now at 12.40am) after his flight slightly delayed, trying very hard to keep my eyes open and perhaps composing a new post for my blog. But this girl.... My no 1 princess who insists to stay awake waiting for her father, could not stop talking..... aaaarrrgghhh heavy conversation in the middle of the night arrrrgghhhh among her questions (for the other questions, i just nod and say "ye...ye") 1- kenapa semua kawan erina berbeza dari erina? 2- nescaya tu apa? okey... I could not recall the earlier questions .... not paying enough attention in this drowsy state.... need to get to sleep

YES!!!!!! A new season of MasterChef Australia .... The only  MasterChef  version that have varieties of contestants... it feels like a worldwide version of  MasterChef  as there are contestants with background of east asia, india, china, south east asia, italy and of course australia. This have make the food prepared in  MasterChef  consists influence from those countries which make the show very worth to watch and follow. You do not believe me?? You can watch the show  Masterchef Australia  season 5 which now showing at Lifetime, Astro Channel 709, at 7pm and 11pm every weekdays or perhaps you can get the recipe here . The interesting mix of contestants But what I like most about  MasterChef Australia is their 3 judges. Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston. Not only they are very qualified (have restaurants, cooking awards and write cookbooks) but their manner while judging is very loveable. They always pushing the contestants to be at their best in a very g

Sunnah2 nabi yang mudah diamalkan

Hasil dari tazkirah pagi di IKIM FM Sunnah-sunnah nabi yang mudah untuk diamalkan: 1- membaca bismillah sebelum memulakan semua benda... Nak duduk pun elok baca bismillah 2- memberi salam kepada semua orang... Walaupun kita tak kenal orang tersebut 3- senyum itu sedekah 4- mengclearkan apa sahaja yg menjd halangan dlm perjalanan... Contoh buang sampah yg berada di tgh jln Senang je kan nak dpt pahala lebih :)

me in blogging = polar bear in hibernation mode so loooonnnnnggggg not writing on this blog as usual have been very busy in living my life and have to sacrifice the little time for myself to sit down pondering about the life and write it down in this blog. I have learned a lot during my 'hibernation mode' that I think it would be worth sharing with all of you: 1- whatever you have learnt, you should take action on or be 'nike'  ( just do it)  2- whatever other great people teach you... only you yourself can implement those tips/idea into your life for example: if you like/save/hashtag those exercise picture, you would not ever be fit or thinner unless you do those exercises yourself... this is a reminder for myself ;p 3- must seek the positive from all the situations even though it requires hardwork and.... the most important lesson of all time.... 4-allah is the best planner (borrow my colleague's advice )

Healthy work habits

Taken from here  but it makes me wondering.... why they always said the best breakfast is yogurt or cereal or muesli... why it must be only those western breakfast is good? why not malaysian food? nasi lemak should be okay if we only take it once in a while, right? whats wrong if we have dim sum, chee chor fun, tosai or kuih apam for breakfast? those imported cereal or muesli are very expensive and it is really not good for local economy/// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday August 24, 2013 Healthy work habits By SU-ANN CHIEN suann.chien@leaderonomics.com The stereotypical work day starts from 9am and ends at 5pm officially, but in reality, most employees enter the office while the sky is still dark and leave only after it gets dark again.

The summary of what I read here with the full article below. 1- 55% - Essential Account (whatever that we NEED to pay) 2- 15% - Emergency Account (but I have read somewhere the best benchmark is 6 months of cost of living but probably 3 months is much more easier to be prepared) 3- 10% - Golden Goose Account (passive income) 4- 10% - Education Account ( I always miss this out) 5- 10% - Fun Account ( we must live happily) So do you manage your money this way for now? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you feeling trapped in your finances and want to break free?

this year raya was celebrated moderately... as both of us (hubby and I) was swarmed with work during Ramadan and before Ramadan and after Ramadan...hahahha it means all the time... luckily I have bought 'kain' baju kurung wayyyy before Ramadan so less hassle during Ramadan shopping spree. I purposely do the same set of baju kurung for both daughters and myself... bila lagi nak jd kumpulan nasyid kan... as usual, I requested my MIL to sew our baju kurungs and as usual because we are family, our order will always be the last one to be completed... heheh however this year Erina have developed an effective strategy by sitting beside her grandmother and kept asking "Nenek dah jahit baju raya Erina ke?" hahaha then Nenek become soft hearted and directly sew her baju kurung... and then Zahira just standing beside nenek and buat muka comel so Nenek pun buat baju dia jugak hahahhaha... kesian my MIL ;p Our orange purple 'nasyid uniform' this year we spent the fi
