Home trivia

Yet another KPI to achieve before raya - to replace all the burnt-out light bulbs and downlights in the house! The last time I counted, there are a total of 6 downlights and 11 light bulbs which needs to be replaced to make my humble home terang-benderang for raya.

I'd have to call someone (pro) to change the downlights for me. That's what I did last year. Still can't figure out how to do it myself. Panggil je orang, senang. My late hubby used to do it effortlessly -- standing at 6"2, he doesn't even need a ladder. Hmmm...

By the way, the downlights burn out pretty easily la... I am sure within a week of replacing new ones, at least sebijik will burn out. Don't know why... anyone facing the same problems out there? It is so not cost-efficient. But what to do??

On another note, with no man in the house, I have learned some tricks with the tools I inherited. I am now very handy with the drills. So, if you ever need to hang that picture frame, just gimme a call!! :-)

A weekend for the homebody...

Aaaahhh... at last the weekend is finally here. Yeay!! Looking forward to spending quality time at home. Feeling a bit domesticated, heheh.

Ramadhan is less than 48 hours away, alhamdulillah. Many thanks to Him that we're able to experience yet another blessed month, insya'allah.

This weekend will be spent at home... getting self into the momentum of the holy month, insya'allah. Planning the menu for Ramadhan, shopping for foodstuff etc. Alhamdulillah, I've completed Raya shopping for the girls, so that's out of the way. Baju raya for me... no idea yet. Think will wear the green baju kurung I made for my nephew's wedding recently. Baru sekali pakai... ok lah tu. My mom pun bought the girls Japanese cotton material in green floral prints -- she had sent them to the tailor and dah siap dah pun... so that's baju raya for the first day. Settled.

Kuih raya... (hmmm... puasa belum start dah pikir pasal raya!! hehe). I will make kuih samperit, Maira & Daddy's favourite and of course, choc chip cookies. Four weekends left to slot that in!! The rest beli je kalau ada yang berkenan (my one and only fav is Intan Cookies' Melting Almonds)... we're not kuih raya fans anyways, plus my mom will have like 20 types of kuih raya at her house thanks to my brothers, cousins, friends and her anak2 angkat etc -- kalau sedap, I angkut la bawak balik rumah heheh...

Ok... gotta send the girls to Kumon now!!

P/S: Wishing all of you a blessed Ramadhan Al-Mubarak!! Mintak ampun and maaf ye, if anything I've expressed here in my blog had offended anyone...

La fleur

I am so happy I got these yesterday for just RM5!!!

Dropped a colleague at the Ampang STAR-LRT station after work and saw a young man selling these... and they were going for RM3 a bunch. I got two and paid only RM5 for it!!!

Flowers always make me so happ peee!!
