OUR home (FINALLY!!)

Image
Alhmadulillah I can't keep this quiet and under a secret. WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! Like finally! After 4 years of staying at my MIL's place, I finally have my own place to stay. I won't tell you the story of our house hunting as I have mentioned it here previously. We went to see a bunch of other houses from our agent's listing but mostly not to our liking. Either the corridor was too busy with too many neighbours, too far from bustop, main road, shops and everything. Or good location but too expensive but very minimal home condition. I believed that everything happen for a reason and perfect timing. So here are the details: $420k. No COV Tampines St 83 4A model 109 sqm Corner - having 3 neighbours only Fully furnished with aircons in all 3 rooms, oven, water heater, 1 build-in wardrobe in master bedroom Toilet HIP (Home Improvement programme) done and paid I only took few pictures when we were there. And they are quite nice to give us

Fertility Diet

Image
Hi everyone! I've been too busy with so many things going around at the same time and almost forgotten about this. I've tried to do a lot of research on fertility diet and I find it the hardest for me to do. haha. All the yummy and fatty stuff are too tempting definitely. Here's a great video (and I have yet to try! opss :p) The challenge is for 21 days. We have 5 important things you should add to your current diet EVERY SINGLE DAY. We call these the Important 5. The Important 5 1. Drink 1 quart of water first thing in the morning. You can add squeezed lemon to this if you would like. 2. Drink 1 fertility smoothie every day. The fertility smoothie should contain at least one fertility superfood (maca, spirulina, FertiliGreens, royal jelly, etc.) 3. Eat one big green salad per day. 4. Eat one dark leafy vegetable every day. Swiss chard, kale, spinach, etc. 5. Drink one green juice every day. (If you are not able to get a juicer you can replac

A degree experience

Image
How was a degree experience at 30 and doing it part-time? Alhamdulillah I love the RMIT concept where the distributed the percentages and weightage of exams, individual and group assignment so that we can score. I can roughly gauge my scores and study hard for my exams or if I scored well for my assignments, I can chill for my exams. Here's one of my assignments that I have to present in a video form. My previous modules also got movie screening which my character was very small in it.

But on the hind side, I've been experience in a not so nice group assignment when some students are slackers, sent assignment after deadline with penalties of their work but they still could pass t

Finding a home

Image
OMG I can't tell you enough how stressful I am during this searching ad looking for resale flat. K Back story a bit. We applied 2 SBF and 1 BTO just beside the Temasek Poly AND GOT REJECTED WITHOUT A NUMBER. And am so furious already so we decided to get resale flat. And my heart has been cheated 5 times after falling for the home and loving it. THEN, the problem starts to arise. Cannot go lower to our ideal price, house in very bad conditions with hacked rooms and store room, no HIP toilets, cannot pay using CPF and bla3. It is supposed to be 3 months process once we set the deal and yet, it was very hard for us. Firstly, we found our perfect home, ground floor with high windows and near my MIL place. But, the owner doesn't want to lower the price of the house when the house condition needs too many revamping (kitchen cabinets are great but the ceiling has molds and the waterproofing has worn off, window grills were in original condition a.k.a. rusty and out of date.

19.01.19 - Turned 30

Image
Bismillah. I know that this year will be tough for me with my job and other pending matters (baby, home, Umrah trip) that are unsettling and makes my mind going 24/7. But with much Sabr, I guess things will be fine. I guess. I don't know what to expect and I know that in the back of my mind that I can't have everything that I wanted at the same time. I fear for whatever that will come in my way at the age of 30, getting older and nearer to death, everything not settled yet (or is it forever not settled?). Anyways, my birthday bash started from my SILs who celebrated a week before at Changi Airport. I got a gift from them and we went to ear Saap Saap Thai's mango sticky rice and Thai Milk Tea. What a surprise really! I also just learnt how to bake brunt cheesecake and put it to test. Baked the burnt cheesecake for my colleagues yesterday and also celebrated with A on this very day. Briyani day Not full dept Both of us got present. Andrew for his leaving

ONE month till my 30th birthday!

It is so sad to bid farewell to my 20s but let's embrace it with a BANG! okay, my bang is not those crazy things I wanted to do in life anymore. Dah matang kan? hahah. Let's go back to my Just Becoming: 29 list and what I have achieved so far: Get a house and settled down (plus all the house warming parties, raya open house and lepak session with my friends)   After much emotional rollercoaster ride of wanting resale flat, kena rejected applying SBF twice, Alhamdulillah there's a new patch of land where they are building  new BTO housing estate  near my MIL's place, super near to Tampines West MRT too. Both A and I are very excited to get the results soon. DOAKAN!  Driving license (I have been procrastinating this for the longest time ever. And once pass, I would want to go Langkawi and drive. Crazy but yeah!)  I am not even near finishing and it's gonna be a year soon. huhu. nak chiong pun, duit sey. I believe I will only pass by May next year. Establish

Travelling Boots

Image
I have always love travelling and I wished that I started way earlier, like 19 years old. I am the eldest in the family and travelling on my own or with cousins did not start only when I hit 23. So good that my brothers started earlier and go further than me because of me (when I started at 23, they were like 21, 19 and 17). haiz. I did know how my parents would react and I experimented it when I was 23. My parents, especially my mom got scared and most of my travelling journeys were either with my siblings or my cousins. So here's my journey: 2012 - Batam, Pulau Perhentian , Phuket 2013 - KL , Hong Kong , Macau 2014 - Langkawi (with Family), Bintan , Batam 2015 - Batam , Lombok (Honeymoon), Cameron Highlands 2016 - Ho Chi Minh/ Da Lat , Bali 2017 - KL , Batam, Melbourne (with Family) 2018 - Krabi , JB, Batam, Penang,  Japan, Umrah Japan didn't happen and it is not going to any time sooner coz A said its expensive. Haiz. Umrah was cancelled too because A couldn&#
