Danielle Steel's Collection

Dear Boys,
Mungkin yaya and baba in our little family je yang tahu setakat ni betapa obses nya ammi with the author Danielle Steel. Yaya pun dah kenal 'DS', if nampak buku-buku 'DS' di mana-mana mesti yaya berlari-lari panggil ammi.Dari remaja remaji dulu ammi dah start reading her books.Masa belum kawin tu ammi pinjam dari kawan2 or pergi library untuk pinjam. Satu buku sekejap je abis. After kawin dgn baba, ammi paksa mintak tolong baba pinjamkan di library UPM since time tu baba work there. Banyak dah koleksi dia yang ammi dah baca. When baba dapat kerja di UPSI baba pinjamkan di library sana pula..same goes masa baba belajar di FLINDERS UNI dan USM, banyak dah baba pinjamkan untuk ammi baca di waktu lapang..DS books ni memang 'page turner' sampai leka ammi nak membuat housechores semua...

Ammi pun dah tak ingat sebanyak mana koleksi dia yang ammi dah baca, memang banyak sangat. After a certain time,ammi rasa nak wat collection sendiri pula, so bermulalah episod 'Danielle Steele Novel Hunting', masa di Adelaide dulu banyak garage sales, car boot sales dan kedai salvation army yang jual barang-barang murah baik punyer!. Kat Penang ni  pula ada Chowrasta road dan Roadwalk yang juga jual barang-barang terpakai yang masih elok kualitinya.  Tidak lupa juga boleh didapati online thru ebay.


Selain DS books, ammi meminati Sophie Kinsella, Jane Feathers, Jude Deveraux ,Julia Quinn and Nora Roberts. Nora Roberts ni pun suka sangat cuma kureng dari segi koleksi coz dia banyak siri triology atau bersiri, kena beli koleksi penuh dia, memang kena beli baru lah cam gitu. Susah nak dapat yang 2ndhand. Authors lain banyak juga dlm koleksi ammi, cuma yang lain2 tu ammi kureng minat dan tak banyak lagi koleksi dari author yg sama. Authors lain seperti Cathy Kelly, Jackie Collins, Virginia Andrews, Barbara Delinsky dan Barbara Taylor Bradford .Mereka ni boleh dikategorikan OK tapi bukanlah bg ammi 'a page turner'


Beberapa fakta mengenai koleksi ammi:

• Tidak pernah beli baru (di kedai buku etc)
• Buku-buku tidak melebihi harga AUD5.00 atau RM15.00 tiap satu
• Setakat ni tak pernah ter overlap beli buku yang dah pernah dibaca
• Koleksi buku yang ada lebih banyak jadi hiasan dari di baca,yang dibaca banyak nya dipinjam dari library ;)
• Banyak novels ammi disimpan dlm kotak, tunggu pindah rumah sendiri nanti baba janji akan buatkan a whole set of shelves just for ammi's collections. Yahoo!

Babywearing and Nursing Wear in Action

Dear Waidi,
Waidi ni kan memang manja dengan ammi...pastu lak kan susah betul kalau kena berenggang dengan ammi kan. Kalau nak gi jalan2 dalam stroller 5 minit je pastu nak suruh dukung..Mana  larat yang oi...Sebelum ni ammi ada join gathering susuibu tu kan, adalah demo pasal BW (babywearing) ni, ammi berkenan juga..yang paling ammi suka Jumpsac SSC tapi seperti yang dinyatakan dlm entry ammi dulu, SSC ni agak pricey...so ammi pun search and search online ,apa yg sesuai dgn kita..

Ciri-ciri yang ammi amat pentingkan ialah:

• Dalam budget
• Tidak bulky
• Jika boleh ada beg khas untuk carry the BW item
• Practical-tidak rumit
• Free size so both ammi dan baba boleh BW 
• Not too feminin juga sebab baba boleh BW
• Nampak kemas
• Selesa bagi ammi/baba and of course waidi

Waidi,

Maka selepas berminggu-minggu buat kajian, juga dgn pertolongan Mak Long Bib, btw,Congrats Bib atas newborn baby boy.Rasa macam dah boleh wat phD in BW ni, hwa3x. Ammi pun decides on Littlepods Carrier. Menepati semua ciri di atas cuma.......lari sikit dari budget coz budget asal cuma Rm150 ke bawah...tapi carrier ni Rm199. Ciri-ciri lain menepati so ammi rasa ok lagi..duit boleh dicari kan waidi, tangan ammi yang lenguh ni siapa nak urut kan, waidi kan..* hint for baba, hehehe..*

Maka minggu lepas ammi pun google map lah littlepods cawangan penang ni, ada di lorong selamat...tak lah jauh sangat pun..Pergilah kita try/test/cuba BW ni..memang best! Ammi pilih kaler yang sesuai utk baba pun nak BW waidi. 

Minggu lepas juga ammi beli NW (nursing wear) online di gorgeous2u, memang practical! Yang ammi suka senang sgt nak BF waidi and ada poket di tepi utk letak hp, duit sikit, tisu etc..maklumlah sejak ada waidi ni ammi jarang berhand bag kecuali kalo nak melaram sakan je.

Below are some pictures of  BW and NW in action, masa kita pergi tronoh jumpa Aunty Suzi .

Terer tak ammi BF/NIP kan waidi while walking, haha..

Baba BW while posing macho

Waidi suka giler

Best kan waidi..ammi suka, waidi lagi suka kan...
Smile your cute smile always my darling..

Thank you and have a nice day everyone...:-)..

Since i became a mommy...

Dear Boys,

Since i become a mommy.................EVERYTHING is different than the life i had before i became a wife and a mommy to all 3 of you...

In Multitasking :

• Seven years ago (when there was only Yaya) - I read my novels while breastfeeding yaya. While sms ing love notes baba at work :-)
• Four years ago (when there is yaya and syaik) - I watch my favourite drama on the telly while breastfeeding syaik, at the same time helping yaya with his colouring & selang seli with folding the laundry.
• One year ago (waidi was born,there's 3 of you now)- I'm trying to watch a movie, while waidi is breastfeeding, while trying to leraikan a fight among the 2 boys, while trying to halang myself and waidi from being hit by the ball thrown around, while trying to lipat kain..........not enough energy anymore ;).

In taking daily shower :

• Seven years ago (when there was only Yaya)- My shower is about 20 minits long, (before yaya was born it was about half an hour).I do have long hair to wash.. Sambil2 tu jenguk kepala di luar bathroom monitoring yaya. No need to lock the bathroom door.
• Four years ago (when there is yaya and syaik) - Daily shower is about 10 minits,hair is shorter pun, (rimas), jenguk-jenguk kepala lagi kerap, worry that yaya might kacau little syasyaik. Need to lock the door, yaya can open it on his own.
• One year ago (waidi was born,there's 3 of you now)-Dapat 5 minit of shower pun dah bersyukur, itupun dengar jerit/gadoh/teasing/nyakat from outside the door. Double lock the door, as one or the other will come to ngadu/nangis/merajuk....or little waidi with his little walker come a  knocking on the door....

In having a proper meal :

• Seven years ago (when there was only Yaya)-Meals was taken at the proper time and at the proper dining place, enjoying it together with the boys's baba. Looking lovingly into each other's eyes....haha!
• Four years ago (when there is yaya and syaik)- at times makan bergilir, as 1 boy or the other meragam /nak nenen etc..still at the dining table but not really enjoying it as before.A boy for each of us
• One year ago (waidi was born,there's 3 of you now)-Dapat makan pun dah cukup baik, baba makan at 8am, ammi might eat at 8.30,making sure the boys eat 1st, which they prefer in front of the telly. Not good habit i know, but our dining table currently is small............

In 'going jalan-jalan' :

• Seven years ago (when there was only Yaya) - Jalan-jalan holding hands with baba,while pushing yaya in the stroller. 
• Four years ago (when there is yaya and syaik)-Jalan lebih kurang seiring, baba pimpin or dukung yaya. Ammi pushing syaik in stroller. No more holding hands/linking arms with baba.
• One year ago (waidi was born,there's 3 of you now)-Baba walks miles ahead, pushing waidi on stroller/ dukung waidi, while ammi is way behind pimpin yaya on the right and syaik on the left.Mana tangan mu baba nak hold ammi...

Sekadar catitan ammi for u guys to read when u're older,
Smile always my boys...:-)

We Made A Robot

Dear boys,
We had fun over the weekend right,
Ammi did most of the work,  We made our own little robot, but i dont think its that little, its as big as Waidi. :-)
We had fun covering the boxes ammi collected through out the week, and then we painted it with bright colours.
Our own little "Art Attack".!
We call it DOBOT- i don't know why...but thats whats its called...
No need to be scared of it syasyaik, that art attack won't attack you..And yaya please don't tease your brother that the DOBOT will come alive during the night. Its not funny at all.
I'm sorry to say i didn't snap any photos during the making of the DOBOT. But here is the end result.

 We'll do some more art attack soon ok ;)

Thank You Boys...

Dear Boys,
Thank u guys for constantly 'adding chores and a bit of sufferings' to me..

Thank you WAIDI for:

• Eating anything i made/cooked/prepared for you without many fuss. Also thank you for being ammi's "vacuum cleaner", picking up and putting into ur mouth every tiny little things and papers, not forgetting the scissors left lying around by syasyaik resulting in ammi screaming her head off.
• Being a good little owlet. Sleeping mostly in the daytime and being wide awake at night, forcing me to play with u until 3am. Beauty sleep? who needs them? i sleep when u sleep, we have our CUTE sleep together...
• Making ur sad little puppy eye look, wanting ammi to pick u up most of the time..You do know nobody thought ammi how to do chores with only one hand..I simply fail at it..

Thank you SYASYAIK for:

• Being the creative one in the family, leaving bits of cut out papers around the house. Thank u for the 1/10 that u picked up and thrown in the bin, leaving me the 9/10 to clean up. Not to mention leaving the scissors accessible to little waidi..
• Commanding ammi in ur nicest possible way to make u 5 different drinks during the whole day...If not to ur liking, e.g: 'tawar, pahit, masam, wrong cup, wrong straw' then ammi will get "free lectures" from u over and over again until these ears can't take it anymore..."kelape (kenape) ammi salah?? hah, hah, syaik nak yg ni, bukan yg ni, ammi ni salah je.."in ur NICEST POSSIBLE  way...
• Loving ur brother waidi toooo much, kissing n hugging him even tho he's asleep, waking him up and made him cry...resulting in baba having 'burned sambal tumis' for lunch..
• Leaving playdoh all over the house, on the floor, the table, the bed. YES, they are pretty aren't they....STUCK on the CARPET.

Thank you YAYA for:

• Being cranky/moody/ bad tempered coming back from school. Yes i know ur tired of the looong hours  at school (7.45-5pm), but its no reason to yell or hit poor syaik who just misses u and wants to play with u...
• Eating chocolate ice cream  without taking ur school shirt off first,and leaving it dribbles all over ur shirt. . It's not at all  appaling  having extra muscles in my arm having scrubbed ur dirty shirts. Those stains!  VANISH LIQUID pun kalah.
• Leaving ur scrumpled, dirty, smelly socks in ur pocket pants. It frustrated me after finding out AFTER the machine finishes it cycle. In goes the socks again...
• Just eating 'plain nasik and kicap' after i went to all the trouble cooking a balanced and perfect healthy meal for the whole family..

Thank you BOYS for:

• Making me 3 or 4 'happy ammi's day card' daily..and using ammi's finest 0.4 ballpoint pen.,until the ink ran out..
• Taking ur bath without having told to do so..AND emptying half the 2 in 1 bath soap liquid AND playing bubbles in Waidi's little tub.,making a BIG mess in the bath room... I know.., i missed that bath tub in Adelaide too...
• Cleaning up after playtime, maybe in ur terms, 'campak everything on to the study table' is considered cleaning up... 

Thank you ABANG for:

• Buying the ice cream in the first place..
• Letting the boys have my pencil case...
• Allowing them to play 'a little' bit of bubbles...
• Being an owl yourself, studying at night..no need to thank us for keeping u company.

Thank you boys...

Maybe thats why i just love being a SAHM..

Well, people does say "BOYS WILL BE BOYS'.

Love u guys no matter what...

SAHM or WOHM- Part 1

Dear boys,
Today ammi nak cerita sikit tentang pengalaman ammi sebagai tajuk di atas..ammi pernah alami both of those world, currently now as a SAHM, ada beberapa pros and cons in both. Ammi just nak catit for u boys to read dah besar nanti..juga buat tatapan kawan-kawan ammi yang pernah dan tak pernah alami being either one. Hari ni ammi akan sentuh dulu the pros and cons of being a SAHM (strictly ammi's personal experience, tiada 'copy and paste' dari mana-mana pihak).

Boys,
Sebagai permulaan nak cerita sejarah ammi sikit la...
Ammi dulu kawen dengan baba agak muda awal la kut, age 23, just fresh grad from UPM, time tu dah suka-suka kenal-kenal dengan baba, bertunang pun time ammi final sem, baba lak dah kerja di UPM. Ammi grad bulan Mac, kawen akhir Mei, Konvo bulan Julai. Lepas grad terus busy dengan wedding preparation, dalam tempoh dua bulan tu masih sebagai SAHD ammi is proud to tell u boys, ammi made sendiri over 1000 pot pourie untuk dijadikan door gifts for guests..So u all boleh bayangkan betapa busy nya ammi..tu pasal la tak dan nak carik keja, time tu tak fikir la pasal job hunting, gatai busy dgn wedding prep.

After that, alhamdulillah ammi terus pregnant kan yaya, ammi mabuk teruk, baba time tu setuju sangat if ammi tak kerja ,baba happy nak dapat baby...so ammi pun time tu jadilah SAHW, baba pasangkan Astro siap HBO so ammi tak kan boring kat umah sorang-sorang..later on ammi dah  better in 2nd trimester,mama tati kakak baba mintak tolong jaga anak-anak dia abg hairi n zubair jaga berbayar tapi ammi ikhlas  sebab mama tati nak duduk JB sementara dia  sambung degree, before that dia cuma ada sijil perguruan. So about 3 bulan ammi jaga abg2 tu di bangi, jadilah ammi SAHA.. Masa tu yaya makin besar dlm perut, ada juga ammi apply kerja sana sinun tapi tak ada rezeki kut.

Boys,
Bila ammi dah sarat ,abg2 dijaga nenek di serdang. Bila yaya lahir, u had our full attention...ammi dgn rasminya jadi SAHM, selepas bergelar SAHD, SAHW and SAHA. Baba suka sangat if ammi jadi a SAHM, baba lagi suka anak2 dijaga ammi sendiri...Best sangat kan yaya.......Time tu ammi ada baba and yaya je nak dijaga...tak banyak sangat tanggungjawab. Tapi, kadang2 ada la rasa teringin nak kerja........jadi ammi 'being an organized and perfectionist as she is' buat dua column atas sekeping kertas dan mula menulis..

Pros of a SAHM:

1. Ammi suka boleh main and lihat perkembangan yaya hari-hari...1st laugh, 1st crawl, 1st smile, 1st tooth, semua yg 1st's lah..semua ammi catit..kalo tak ikut macam dalam buku, mula ammi risau..u yaya, memang agak slow dlm all ur 1st's, ammi ni yg over anxious...rimas yaya dibuatnya kan, sorry yaya.
2. Ammi tak perlu EBM utk yaya, breastpump ada tp cuma utk if breast engorge, other than that yaya direct feed daily. 
3. Ammi tak perlu risau pasal work yg pening-pening kepala, no boss coz i'm my own boss. Ammi cuma perlu tumpu at house chores and taking care of yaya and baba at night ;p makan minum baju baba etc..
4. Baba sangat suka. balik lunch hari-hari..walaupun time tu masakan ammi tak berapa sedap. Baba jarang makan luar..
5. Jika yaya sakit ,ammi ada nak jaga, nak gayut nenen selalu pun tak apa..ammi bagi ubat right on time, tak perlu pesan pada sitter/pengasuh. Ammi tak perlu amik MC or EL.
6. Jika kita nak berholiday time not 'peak season' cuma baba saje nak apply cuti, ammi anytime boleh jek.
7. Penjimatan dari segi duit minyak, duit makan lunch n duit belanja luar becoz cuma baba je working. Only need 1 car. Juga jimat dari segi ammi tak perlu belanja pakaian dan aksesori wanita yg sesuai utk org berkerja coz ammi ni nak gak melaram if a working mom. Pakai biasa2 je..Juga jimat duit bayar pengasuh/sitter/nursery :)

Cons of  a SAHM:

1. Kadang-kadang ammi jadi penat/ tak terurus, tak kisah dengan penampilan. Agak selekeh..rambut dan pakaian ala kadar je, 
2. No income of my own, even though baba bagi elaun bulanan tapi tak sama lah, bukan duit hasil titik peluh sendiri..
3. Yaya terlalu bergantung dengan ammi, if orang lain pegang yaya akan menangis, tak mau dengan orang lain..yaya jadi 'ammi centred', ammi jadi rimas dan tension.
4. Jika ammi sakit, ammi still kena jaga yaya, tak boleh nak antar yaya ke rumah sitter so ammi boleh rest.
5. Ada kalanya ammi boring tak ada rakan sekerja, everyday 'baby talk' dengan yaya je. Baba la jadi mangsa dengar ammi bebelan bercerita bila balik kerja. Baba lak boring nanti.
6. Being a SAHM means no 'me' time and 'no day off'. Always dahulukan anak and husband.
7. Degree ammi in 'Food Science majoring in Food Management' takle digunakan...sekadar hiasan dalam fail je..
8. Adakala dengar benda2 yg tak best dari orang2 lain yg menyakitkan hati, contohnya rugi tak kerja etc...,belajar tinggi2 tapi duduk rumah je etc...tapi ammi pekak kan aje and anggap orang2 tu jeles coz ammi leh jaga anak sendiri

Itulah sedikit sebanyak pengalaman ammi as a SAHM time yaya kecil dulu...
Tengok list lagi banyak column second dari 1st. Haha...

SAHM sekarang lain lak ceritanya with 3 of u..
Actually ammi lagi suka istilah DOMESTIC MANAGER..or GRADUATED HOUSEWIFE...bukan desperate housewife ye, tak desperate pun...canggih gitu..hehe..

Nanti la ammi citer...

Lain kali ammi sambung kisah ammi kerja time yaya 9 bulan...

Ikuti kisah Part 2...

Now dah pukul 3 pagi, tapi your little brother waidi is still wide awake, kena 'deactivate' dia..

Jom waidi, off to bed my little owlet..

Perihal Air

Dear Boys,
Ada pelbagai jenis air di dunia kan, air laut, air hujan, air sungai, air telaga, air mata air, air mata, air minuman dan macam-macam air lagi..
Dalam banyak-banyak air ni, air minuman la yang paling best kut coz kita leh minum kan..tapi tanpa air sungai/laut/empangan/perigi maka tak ada lah air untuk kita minum kan.
Di sini ammi nak mengingat kan boys bahawa kita kenalah berjimat cermat dalam mengendalikan air dalam kehidupan harian kita...


Boys,
Ammi nak bebel ni sikit, yaya and syaik ammi perasan selalu tak tutup air lepas wiwi atau yak buang air besaq. Memanglah sejak kita duk Penang ni tak pernah bayar bil air tapi tak bermakna kita leh bazir air sewenangnya...Kadang2 lepas mandi pun ammi tengok air paip/sinki tak ditutup rapat..lepas ni boys kena lebih prihatin ye..kena check betul2 air ditutup rapat..


Boys,
Arini lak ammi nak citer perihal air minuman asyik bebel je penat tekakteringat lak nak minum air.
Air minum ni ada pelbagai jenis..ini antara feveret kita...

This is baba's feveret.

Mana-mana kedai makan pergi pun nak air ni

padahal punya lah 'easy peasy' nak buat..

Tak pelah murah pun asal baba hepy. Yang penting 

baba satisfied. Kat umah pun ammi selalu buat 

air ni...

-TEA WITH SUGAR BUT NO MILK-

Ni air ammi suker..

Tak sedar diri tu ada keturunan lelah/semput

Watermelon juice n skyjuice ni mesti di order if makan luar

yela watermelon susah nak buat kan kat umah.

Skyjuice yg hot pilihan ammi kat umah.

Bagi ammi ia menenangkan dan memperbanyakkan susu 

ammi untuk waidi..

Teh tarik wajib minum breakfast at home, or minum petang lat luar

Nenek buat pun sedap..nenek ada secret resepi..

dia campuq 3 jenis teh serbuk..tu yg buat ketagih sedap tu...

-TEA WITH MILK AND SUGAR-

Yang ni feveret yaya...

tak boleh tak ada milo ais..

seksa jap duk Adelaide dulu,

milo sana tak sama dgn milo Malaysia..

tapi kat umah cocoa radix ais pilihan hatinya..

masa kicik-kicik yaya lebih suka minum ni...

sekarang dah kureng...

seksa dulu ammi kena beli air laici 3 cawan coz 

yaya nak buah dia je.

Air laici kotak tak main la.......

Kalo kat umah yg dlm tin tu sekali hadap boleh abis oo..

Syaik lak pelik sikit..

Takde lak feveret sangat..ape yg syaik nak time tu

(ikut mood syaik) akan diminta..

skrg tgh fasa epal jus tp bukan yg mcm atas tu

syaik suka yg blended kaw kaw punye

Yg atas tu sekadar pix hiasan..

Ammi tak jmp pix epal jus blended dlm google

Waidi's feveret paling best

Temperature just nice anytime

Order by nangis je, no need to add ais whatsoever

Enak dan lazat..

-MILK WITHOUT TEA, MILO, EPAL,LAICI,WATERMELON OR SUGAR-

Ingat ye pesanan ammi boys, jimat cermat amalan mulia...

Jaga diri dan peribadi..

Penjimatan......

Dear boys,
Dukacita dimaklumkan baba tidak dapat USM Grant yang dpohon hari tu..bukan baba tak layak, tapi baba tak terpilih, yang layak ada lbh krg 20 org, yang dipilih cuma 2 org...luck wasn't on baba's side. Anyway, baba tak dapat Grant tu bukanlah kita sengkek ke ape,bermakna kita tak boleh survive ke lepas ni, it's just if baba got the Grant it will help him tremendously in his studies.Baba was a bit dissappointed, tapi tak apa, he will try to apply for other Grants.


Boys, 
Bagi ammi pula, ammi terasa langkah-langkah penjimatan harus dilaksanakan, kita ni bukanlah boros/suka enjoy etc..tapi buat masa baba study ni peranan ammi adalah utk meminima kan perbelanjaan yg kurang perlu..yg wajib tu memang tak boleh lari lah, kang tak ber bumbung lak kita, tak berkereta dan tak bersekolah pulak yaya..

Contoh perkara2 wajib adalah:

1. Sewa bulanan rumah
2. Ansuran KIA Sportage kita
3. Bil api n electric
4. Celcom Broadband
5. Bil Astro
6. Yuran sekolah yaya
7. Bil kredit kad
8. Belanja bulanan dapur dan sbgnya
9. Bagi nenek (belah baba)
10. Duit petrol kereta

Boys, 
Seperti yg u all mungkin perasan, ammi ni kan a sort of organize punya org, baba panggil ammi a sort of perfectionist, ammi akan selalu buat list/check list utk apa jua event/program walaupun balik kampung pun ada list. Bukan setakat 1, kekadang 2 atau 3. 1 list pakaian dan barang2 yg hendak dibawa, 1 lagi list agenda program sepanjang balik kampung dan 1 lg list perbelanjaan harian... ammi ni a SAHM tp organization kalah manager company, hehe..tok mama kata ammi ni sesuai sgt if kerja PA or Secretary..:)




Boys,
Penjimatan yg harus dlaksanakan dan diperketatkan adalah dari pelbagai segi..:

• Penjimatan elektrik, yaya n syaik if dah tak mau main PS2 or computer games tu lg tlng switch off. Tutup kipas bila bgn tido, tutup lampu toilet bila dah selesai. Benda2 ni basic, brp kali dah ammi remind, tp u all..hmmm..
•  Penjimatan dari segi makan luar: sejak balik M'sia ni ammi tgk kita ni kerap mkn luar, mentang2lah semua senang nk dapat dan halal.Ammi pun sama, bila M je ajak baba keluar. Kita kena buat mcm kat Adelaide dl, ammi masak daily, kadang2 je makan luar.
• Penjimatan dari segi 'kurangkan kategori lain2'. Tiap bulan ammi akan buat perbelanjaan bulanan, kategori lain2 tu byk sgt. Contoh benda2 keinginan tp bukan keperluan...tak perlu ada tp best sgt kalo ada..
• Men CD kan waidi, ni ammi dah start, cuma permulaan ni byk sikit keluar duit nak beli CD. InsyaAllah coming soon akan nmpk penjimatannya. Ammi juga fully BF kan waidi so dah jimat dr segi tak perlu beli FM. waidi ammi masak bubur hari2 atau mkn ape yg kita mkn (sgt besar peranan ni utk penjimatan..)
• Kurangkan keluar berjalan, family kita ni mmg kaki jalan, asal ada spare time even though no spare money, kita akan jalan2. Maybe lepas ni kita kena pergi jalan2 tmpt free or low cost..:)
• Baba pula menang mengamalkan balik umah mkn lunch, tidak mkn luar. Itupun atas dorongan ammi. Dari situ, kita dah jimat..
• Pergi shopping bulanan, jika boleh tanpa yaya n syaik, coz u guys mmg suka letak benda2 lain yg bukan dlm list ammi..

Boys,

Ammi rasa ini saja buat setakat ni, ammi rasa seram sejuk badan ni mcm nak demam. Ammi nak a bum bum jap..Jom waidi, care to join me?

Kita try ye boys..Allah suka hamba-hamba Nya yg dlm kesederhanaan.

Berjimat bukan bermakna kita kedekut..atau sengkek.

Untuk kebaikan family kita gak..
