A little note from moi...

Been neglecting this blog, yes I have. Thought I'd put in an entry now that I have the time.

Been a little busy. And will be for the next couple of weeks. No complaints, though. All's good.

Things will get even busier in the weeks to come, but I am so looking forward to Ramadhan when things will slow down in the office. We all need that break. After Ramadhan comes Syawal... dah beli baju raya?? Haaa... I haven't sent the kain-kain to tailor pun... I will dedicate next weekend la to uruskan hal-hal tersebut, insya-Allah. Kalau tak sempat, nampaknya terperuk la all the berkeping-keping kain dalam almari!!

Was a little under the weather for almost a week but didn't drag myself to the doctor's office (I suck at that) and survived on paracetamol. Finally couldn't take it anymore yesterday evening after a 3-day teambuilding session (which was fun!) and got myself a jap on the tush.

Am excited about a project I'm co-embarking on for Ramadhan. We've talked about it for quite some time (me and my partner) and decided to do something this year, and alhamdulillah the proposal was well-received and orders confirmed. Yeay!! This involves no baking, though. But I am still baking and still taking orders... haven't been putting up photos of cakes up here, but am still baking :-)

Have to be in PICC tomorrow by 7.15am, isn't that great?? NOT!! Hmmm... what to do?? Like I said, hope this madness will go to a halt come Ramadhan.

Well, think I'll do myself a little favor and make moi a cup of honey lemon tea after I'm done with this post.

Enjoyed cups of it last night with my girl cousins who came over. Pic above was taken last night (p/s: see the white basket in the background? it's part of the Ramadhan project I'm working on).

We spent our Saturday night, six of us girls including my kiddoes going through stamps Uni brought over for my girls to start their collection. We were only able to manage stamps from Hong Kong last night, in between chatting and watching Walk the Line on DVD. Perhaps that's what we'll do, a country each weekend. Sounds good. Gosh!! I sound soooo nerdy!! Hahahah...

stamps from Hong Kong that we managed to remove from the bits and pieces of their envelopes

Feeling excited as we were going through the beautiful stamps from all over, I took out the box-full of cards and letters I sent from the US to dear late hubby in the mid-90s and we admired the stamps and pretty envelopes too (no one was allowed to open the letters, though hehe). The stamps will have to remain stuck on the many letters, cards and postcards ya girls... they won't be joining the stamps in your collection anytime soon.

some of my favs...

Now, back to present time. Yeah, let me go make that honey lemon tea and talk to y'all again soon!! Have a great week ahead!!

Hi there dear! It has been quite a while - sangat faham dengan kesibukan everybody nowadays.

I pun tumpang excited by your project. Keep us posted, and do share more about it, please :)

Good luck with the venture! (But, with your creative juice, I don't think you'll need "luck" here. Hehehe!)

Hi there...

Wahhhh all the letters are neatly kept in the box ya...mine entah ke mana. But last few months i punggah kotak kan...jumpa lah all the ole poscards...minus the letters...heheheheh. When i read the postcards kan i tersenyum sendiri...kalau lah jumpa surat-surat lama tuh...ayooo tak tau lah senyum ka , lompat ka. hahahah

gud luck with ur project tuh ya. :)

take care and selalu-selalu update blog ni..i dah mula suka tau!!!

Amy said...

Malu nak ngaku ni tapi Amy masih ngumpul2 setem lagi..my collections dulu dah bagi kat sis in law ke cousin ke, lupa dah..tapi still senyap2 dok ngumpul2 lagi setem yg cantik2 walaupun dah takde album. Now that I've finally going to move out this weekend, bleh la sambung kumpul setem at my own space. I admire la your stamps tu..cantik!

MHB said...

wanshana -- hey, there!! yeah... semua orang tersangatlah sibuknya... masa sangat mencemburui kita heheh..

oh, I do need luck!! last nite mengupil2 the flowers and ribbons.. adoiii lenguh bahu!!

MHB said...

edelweiss -- peminat baru nampaknya :-) hehe..

actually the credit goes to late hubby for taking care of the letters and then shipping them to KL from Penang after we were married... there's 'the other half' of the letters - his to me, only about half of the amount coz dia malas tulis surat!! he preferred phone calls which hampir2 membankrapkan dia!! siannnnn... aah.. those were the days!!

MHB said...

amy -- yeah, come out of the closet, will ya!! :-)

I used to collect stamps too masa sekolah rendah... i had my fav - the royal engagement of Prince Charles and Lady Di commemorative stamp, tapi ntah ke mana dah!! :-(

yes, yes... create a stamp corner in your new home, nanti I boleh pi visit :-)
