Kitchenaid ohh kitchenaid






Mixer kenwood ku dah sebulan lebih dok kat kedai being repaired, my 2nd kenwood in 4 yrs ok,the 1st on erosak just after setahun lebih sikit pakai, then hantaq repair, depa x bleh repair, depa ganti baru, tapi kena tambah duit, yg ni pulak, masalah yg sama jugak, dah sebulan hantaq repair, x dak khabar berita, well ada khabar, khabarnya depa tak dapat punca lagi, kerosakan sama macam dulu jugak, model yg sama,

sgt sakit hati..kalau aku ni buat jual  kek/roti, logic la jugak dia nak rosak, ni paling hebat pun pakai seminggu sekali, paling dia berkerja keras pun, whip egg whites nak buat chiffon cakes, bukan teruk mana pun, light mixture, pun boleh rosak, sah2 mixer model tu yg bengong

Dulu masa nak beli mmg ingat nak beli kitchenaid, tapi budget x berapa nak ada plus incik suami berkenan hat ni, sebab ada meat grinder, maka isteri solehah dia pun ikut la, bila rosak, dah depa bg duit ganti, rasa sayang pulak nak beli hat lain, kena tambah duit lagi banyak, taoi rosak kali kedua??? I want kitchenaid!!! Tak kira jugak huhuhuhu...

Tgh dok decide on colour, berkenan colour chocolate, not available in NZ la pulak, cinnamon ok jugak kot? nak pi tgk kat auckland hari isnin ni, sebelum tu?? layan angan2 dulu..lallalalalaaa

I know I am serious about losing weight when...

I chose to go to the gym over a massage session!!

Serious weng dah ni..

Going to the gym takes a lot of time, sejam setengah paling koman, nak tukaq baju etc

So to squeeze at least 3 sessions a week require a fair bit of juggling act given our tunggang terbalik work shift

Dah lama x pi massage but When I had the 'free' time, I chose the gym instead!!




Perkembangan positif ni

Disheartened??

Almost!

Since my last post where I lost a mere 3kgs...I haven' lost anymore!!!

NO, I haven't ponteng my gym sessions, been going at least 2x/ week. Maybe I haven't worked hard enough plus been getting quite slack with my food intake

I lost inches though, slightly, x la byk mana..

tapi my life partner said I look more toned, hopefully tu bukan ayt amek hati sebab takut bini dia meroyan x kurus-kurus huhuhuh

Dah lama x blogwalk, sebab byk online dari handphone saja sekarang, skrin kecik, x best blogwalking..bila nak ada blogspot versi mobile ni..

I want ipad (ketinggalan zaman sungguh, org dah berkurun ada hehehehhe)

Tapi macam membazir la pulak nak beli sebab laptop ada sampai 3

Long may it lasts



Alhamdullilah, the scale is finally tipping to the left!
Left shift, woohooo..x sia-sia usaha suci murni ku at the gym
Still a lot to lose, but 3kg is good for a start, hopefully my brand spanking new salter electronic scale is not lying. Siap beli scale tu, I don't even own a scale before hehehhe
1st month dok pi gym tu, weight static, I have to keep reminding  myself that I am building my muscle
Will power to avoid unhealthy food is getting better
Must remind myself this is a lifestyle change, not a quick fit crash diet

I don't think I 'look' any different  yet, but jeans are definitely getting looser :)

Melancholy...

Spent the last hour talking to my mum on the phone and wished I was there by her side

I've been abroad for soo long and rarely get homesick anymore, dah lali and kebal..

But tonight was different

Happy 32th to me..



Alhamdullilah..dipanjangkan umur, dimurahkan rezeki and dikurniakan rezeki & kesihatan untuk menyambut ulang tahun yg ke 32 tahun ni..kan dah skema ayat tu hehehe..
Nothing unusual today, woke up go to work, balik umah, pesan kat incik husband suh beli kek (tak pesan kot dia x beli, sendiri merana jugak kannn) balik makan kek, then pi makan kat Curry Pot..

But I can't complain, because I got my wish for my birthday present...HTC desire Z hehhehe..tu pun sebab mintak hehhee..

Apa2 pun, alhamdullillah, I am most grateful to Allah untuk rezeki yg dilimpahkan kepada kami, kesihatan, wang ringgit, happines..I don't do enough to deserve this, always worried that one day akan terima ujian yg x mampu kutanggung :(

Capek den..



Sementara nak get used to my new routine and things in life..

Pukul 8.30 keluar pi hantaq aiman pi sekolah, then hantaq aliya pi daycare..harini we both x kerja tapi memandangkan our cleaners came at 9am, malas la nak balik rumah, so we decided to go to Te Rapa - shopping area, initial intention nak tukaq baju aliya yg beli kat pumpkin patch.Sampai sana dalam 9 ish, tgk2 Pumpkin Patch pukul 10 baru bukak, so pi la merayau kat lain dulu, tup2 incik hubby ajak breakfast, so makan la dulu. Lepas breakfast baru pi tukaq baju

Dah selesai tukaq baju, gerak pi gym jeng jeng jeng... Incik hubby hantaq, then dia balik umah sat..nak print documents yg nak bawak pi jumpa accountant. Today kat gym hari asessment, decide on my programme etc etc..so for the next 2 weeks, kena la ikut programme yg dia bagi, lepas tu review..hmmm..penat siut..1st time exercise berpeluh hehhe..tapi ok la, so far so good. Haritu waktu visit terjumpa mak my patient waktu kerja paeds dulu, tadi pun dia ada jugak..semangat betui tgk dia...baru aim nak try p 3 kali seminggu, tues, thurs and either sat or sun - tup2 this sat incik hubby kerja, so x dak sapa nak jaga the kids, sunday pulak gym tutup sebab public holiday..hmmm...

Yang tensionnya, work out punya teruk, one session burn calories equivalant to one donut camtu saja..aiyaaa..itu macam nak mampus punya kayuh x trainer, camna nak kurus niiii????

Dah selesai call incik hubby suh dia mai amek..sekali dia bagitau dia terjumpa cleaner and cleaner bagitau depa ter bagi patah my precious vacuum..huwaaaaaaaaa..daku sgt syg itu vacuum, memandangkan gym tu kebetulan sebelah kedai yg beli vacuum, pi la tanya dia ada jual spare part tak, dia kata x dak, tapi dia bg address kedai yg jual spare part..

Waktu ni dah 12.30 ptg, appoinment ngn accountant pukul 1, so gerak pi cari office accountant tu dulu..This year we both are considered as independent contractor, I have to pay my own GST and my  tax. and do my own claims etc..agak menyerabutkan otak, tu yg kena cari accountant..rasanya kami paham 50% saja kot apa yg dia kata muahahhaha..next 2 weeks ada meeting sekali lagi..


Habis appoinment ngn accountant dah pukul 2, pi kedai spare part vacuum tu, then pi cari makan, balik umah semayang, dah nak kena pi amek aiman, dia balik sekolah pukul 3, then rush pi Waterworld sebab swimming lesson pukul 3.30

OTW balik dari swimming lesson aiman kata dia nak bawak marmite + cheese sandwich esok pi sekolah..sah2 ada kawan dia bawak harini, tu yg dia teringin kot, padahal x pernah dia suka marmite kat umah..kat daycare dulu ada la dia makan kot, dahtu dia kata nak bawak cucumber. I was like ?? cucumber, bagus sunnguh la pengaruh org kiwi ni, depa ratah macam tu  saja

So balik pi hantaq incik hubby kat umah, sebab dia nak masuk keja 5.30, pi la supermarket cari marmite, cucumber etc

Then pi amek aliya kat daycare..lepas tu balik berperang ngan budak2 ni kat umah..

Bila dah masuk sekolah ni ada homework nak kena buat huhuhuu..padahal kalau nak compare dgn malaysia, sgt ciput la homework tu..tapi jenuh menguji kesabaran mummy sebab aiman asyik kalut nak tgk tibi!!!

New phase in our life..

Starting from today..there will be many new changes in our life

Hari ni Aiman 1st day of school, dah besar dah anak mummy, it's a cliche I know..but how time flies, sekejap saja rasa, dah besar dah Aiman. I don't think he fully understands it yet. Somehow, rasa berat nak lepas dia pi sekolah. Bukan sebab x pernah berpisah, kat daycare lain, kat sekolah he has to be more independent..

Hari Rabu pulak berakhirlah my unofficial cuti, unofficial sebab cuti x bergaji hehhehe..it is time to go back to work and earn some moolahhh..  dah berminggu2 dok berpoya2 sambil menghabiskan duit.  I will be working at the place where I did my registrar year, but this time as their paid contractor, so rasa lain la jugak, my relationship with the practice manager, with board member etc will be different..rasa pelik pulak, thinking that these people will be paying my salary..not DHB

Kena deal with 15 mins apts...hmmm new challenges in life

And tomorrow will be Aliya's 1st day at daycare.Selama ni she was looked after by a sole homebased carer and she has developed a strong relationship with her,I hope she will do fine at daycare


Minggu ni jugak, will mark new career path for dear hubby..his work routine will be different...

Allof us need to find new routine..need to get used to new changes and challenges in our life. May Allah guide us

Impatiently waiting for my desire



HTC Desire Z


Haritu kan konon2 teringin nak beli iphone...  tapi memandangkan I'm not used to apple product plus konon org kata iphone 4 x stable sgt, so KIV saja la niat tu, plus rasa macam x thrill plak pakai iphone, macam cliche.., ramai org pakai..tapi disebabkan phone yg dok pakai la ni asyik dok buat hal, rasa macam perlu cari phone baru..
yg sebenarnya malas nak pi usyar phone, dah berbulan2 dah, dari sebelum xm lagi incik hubby dok heret bini dia ni kuaq masuk kedai henpon, suh pilih, dia hantu gadget, so dia minat la menda2 camni..tapi bini dia yg buta gadget ni malas nak buat decision

last weekend tup2 masuk satu kedai kat Te Awa ni, terus terjatuh chenta kat satu phone ni..sebab dia touch phone plus ada QWERTY keyboard, sesuai sgt la utk org2 macam haku yg bila touch2 ni asek dok touch hurup yg x berkenaan..phone pun nampak smart, cuma dia tebai sikit sebab ada keyboard, rupa2 nya..incik hubby bagitau, ni HTC punya latest design, baru release a few months ago..ecehh boleh tahan jugak taste org buta gadget macam aku ni hhehehe, ai go for the function hokay..kalau model lama pun aku taram jugak..takdak cilewet punya..

balik incik hubby search online, jumpa kedai yg jual murah sikit dari kedai tadi, diam2 dia terus order hehe...sebelum tu dah janji yg incik hubby nak beli for my birthday present :)

yg dia boleh bagitau pun sebab bini dia hari2 dok sebut2 phone tu..kekekkeke..so la ni dgn x sabarnya dok tunggu phone sampai..jenuh berminggu2 la haku nak belajaq guna phone ni..

incik hubby ada bunyi2 nak swap phone lama dia bg aku guna,dia amek yg ni mintak maap la no..ai x berkenan la phone you, walaupun HTC jugak hehehhe

Let's talk about cuppies..






Not cupcakes ya puan-puan, walaupun rupanya kalerpul macam cupcakes. These are menstrual cup, pakai waktu periods...

Macam mana boleh terkeluar cerita cups ni? I've been using cups instead of sejak lepas kahwin, sebelum tu x berani pakai heheheh..mula dapat tau baca lam magazine Cosmo kot kalau x silap, tapi waktu tu student lagi, so rasa mahal la nak beli. Tapi sebabkan tak suka pakai pads, gamble saja la..ever since then I never look back..chewah...mula2 pakai, ada la rasa x selesa sikit, tapi sat saja, bila dah pakai untuk 2-3 kali periods, dah ok..sekarang ni, I never even noticed it, pernah terlupa pun ada hehehehe

Waktu tu, ada 2 brands saja, mooncup dgn Diva cup, Diva cup mahal sikit dari mooncup, of course pilihan daku yg sengkek waktu tu adalah yg murah hehehe..Satu tu tahan lama, bertahun boleh pakai..yg 1st tu, tukar bila gave birth to aiman,so almost 4 yrs la pakai yg sama,tukar pun sebab  mmg kena tukar size after vaginal delivery.

Then in the last few months, terasa macam nampak buruk pulak daku punya cups ni, baru la nak beli yg baru,baru teringat yg aiman pun dah masuk 5 tahun, patut sgt la beli yg baru,  as usual, search for mooncup la sebab dah familiar, put an order tadi.Sangat berbaloi la sekali beli pakai dekat 5 tahun! Sekali minah website tu email kata dia x dak stock menda alah tu, kalau nak, ambik brand lain..baru la aku seacrh tgk apa lagi brand yg available..sekali..ada dekat 18 jenis brands dah sekarang ni...yg kaler2 pun ada...ni yg buat teringin nak beli kaler2 ni hehhehe...

motip entry?? saja nak kongsi knowledge to those who are not aware that benda ni wujud..I love the cup. On heavy days I wear light cloth pads as back up, can't stand disposable pads anymore. But you have to be slightly ehem..intimate with yourself la nak pakai/tanggalkan benda ni..plus sapa yg x suka/mabuk darah tu, maybe x boleh la kot??

blogs yg review about different type of cups etc pun byk rupanya...

belum decide lagi nak beli brand apa pulak, teringin jugak nak try yg lain..yg merah ke hehehehehe

Exam sudah habis...

Dah a few weeks dah abis

Tapi malas nak update blog, sekarang mode sgt x rajin..

Baru2 ni 'ter' dapat tau yg Dilla ada byk collection malay novels, so sekarang ni tgh busy khatam novel2 dia..very timely heheheh..sampai tidur 3-4 pagi lah kiranya..

sekarang cuti 'sendiri' yakni cuti x bergaji huhuhuh..asalnya kesian kat aiman sebab dia x mo pi daycare, konon nya nak buat activities with the kids la cheh..hampes..byk dok umah ternak lemak + exercise my voice box aka dok marah depa dua yg bergaduh x abis2..

I keep saying this each time I took cuti 'panjang' sikit dok umah jaga anak2..tapi still x serik2 jugak hehehe..I don't think I can be a full time stay at home mother, not even a WAHM..x tahan sehh..I really envy those SAHM that seems to be enjoying their time at home, with kids etc..I love my kids..but..oh dear..sgt mencabar lah jaga depa full time...nasib baik ada Dilla yg sudi nak babysit depa..boleh la mummy pi membuang duit  dgn aman..

2-3 hari ni pulak, dok berkenan COACH satchel + wallets...ntah mimpi apa ntah..sebelum ni x minat coach pun, tapi bila dok NZ ni, x boleh nak memilih sgt..leceh tul..asalnya nak cari checkbook wallet, ni pun satu lagi, dulu2 x minat pun wallet panjang tu, rasa macam makcik2..aku makin tua kot?? muahahhah..x mo mengaku tu..sambil dok usyar2 wallet tu, ternampak plak satchels..cantik gak..belum ada lagi satchels..asyik beli crossbody + hobo saja..sesuai la sgt sebab dok kerja ligan anak saja kan heheh... lepas ni  nak cari satchel + carry all...satchel boleh buat work bag jugak at least...my taste has definitely changed..dari so so with coach, jadi ok, dari x berapa berkenan beg kain jenis anagram, jadi berkenan plak hmmmm......sah..daku semakin tua hehehhe


Another big issue in my life at the moment is my weight!!! serious don't know what to do, well I know actually..BUT motivation where art thou????? Sikit punya la belajar technique motivational interviews etc..diri sendiri cannot motivate myself...dohhh!!! Ramai dah tegur, the final crunch is bila Musliha, my bestie since sekolah rendah,  teguq direct suh diet huwaaaaaaaaaa..takpa Ha..aku tau hang sayang kat aku, tu yg hang buat macam tu..akan ku buktikan ecehhh...Hopefully (ada hopefully tu) by raya tahun ni, dah back to my prev weight..sekarang BMI sudah 25, dah paras2 idung dah tu..my target, BMI back to 20 at least..kalau berat aku x turun gak, x merasa la aku pi raya umah hang hehehhe..malu wehh nak balik raya, family daku mostly set2 cekeding...Now I understand why people turned to liposuction..


In a few days time nak pi jalan2 Wellington + Napier..dah 4 tahun dok NZ, welly pun x pernah sampai hehehe..lama x jalan jauh, we both are really looking forward to the trip. Pi Welly x la berapa nak excited sgt, sebab macam x byk benda boleh buat, but Napier macam best
