Supposedly I was going to create a list and pen down on my thoughts about my "upcoming" trip but my job right now no chills man. Every time there's always peak period and I don't really have much time to write at home after work. Sigh Pie Anyways, I will let you know the experience of having to travel with big groups + makcik2. What I can say is that it is tough. Your inner self saying you want to explore the town and go all out but we have to think of them, their energy and HUNGRINESS (ok, not only them. Us also lah) Physically, in front of you, they will say they are okay but they get tired easily. And sick. Leg cramp, pain knees, giddy, fatigue and all. They overthink and scared. This is normal. They will overthink about alot of decisions that we make and whether it is safe bla3. They will start to be pushy, naggy and authoritative (which eventually I gave up and walked away) But all in all, we managed to get things done and cover 90% of our planned i

Dream Kitchen

I just can't wait for my own place pleeeeaseeeeee. I want my own kitchen! huhu We are looking high and low for resale flat near my mom's place and some are quite impressive. I am hoping we are getting 80k grant, good home area and no need to renovate so much! Hahah! Did some research and they are quite a few which are nice and the kitchen is super lawa. We'll apply for HLE and other documentations to settle before finding our ideal place. I truly love the kitchens like up here and actually bought quite a few things from Australia tooo. Oh did I mentioned I won Philips Air Fryer for my company's dnd? HAHA! I actually wished for it! Till then, finding house is so hard and a chore especially the paper work and moneyyyyy.

Selamat Hari Raya

Selamat Hari Raya everyone! I know it's 22 Syawwal already but like yeah,it is still Syawwal. How's everyone's Hari Raya visiting coming along? I really love mine! (because I got to jalan raya with my maternal side more this year) and it was fun! Of course it is different this year as most of us are married and have different raya visiting timings but we sure did had fun still especially the convoying. It was my success also as I managed to cook for A's family Ayam Korma and gave some to my mom too for some of her guests who were visiting. We did alot of budgettingas I was just starting my new job and have not get my paycheck yet at that moment of time. Our baju are mostly recycled and we only spend most of the time baking cookies. A did quite a lot this year compared to me. I baked Cheesestick for my mom and choc chips yg tak menjadi for mil's place. Speaking of which, it is our 2 years being married and celebrating raya at our mil's place. I reall

New placement, same ol' jobscope

Alhamdulillah for the long wait, the many interviews I went to different places and schools, the great "long term medical leave" which I think I didnt managed to fulfil some of the tasks I assigned for myself and the reasoning behind every great things. We plan but Allah's plans are way better and never questioned that. After so many interviews and been let downed, I crawled back to my previous company to go back to my comfort zone. I think at this age, I dont want to do so many complicated things, I don't want to chase a higher position just for a higher pay but more and more responsibilities, I dont want to stress out myself like what I did in SOTA/ECPS coz I know my limits and capabilities. So, going back to what I do best, the company gave me ACS Secondary. I wasnt hesitant about the distant even because the new Downtown Line will be starting soon. One thing I love so much about this job during Ramadhan and school holidays is that I'm off at 5.30pm (and 5pm

Marriage stages

OMGGG I just need to share this post and video I found in FB to you guys who are getting married and already married. If you are wondering that you feel that you are the only one who is experiencing this and having said that you can't actually share much about your marriage life to anyone and felt depressed, you can read this article from Ukti Safiyah or even better watch her video! Ukti Safiyah was explaining the raw reality of marriage where people always thought it is the nicest, fantasy-like, happily ever after endings. Well, its not. Its the beginning of new life. She spoke my heart out. The reality of marriage can make you depressed if you don't get it right and felt like this is not what I signed up for and gave up. There's a video to the article which I find it easier to digest before you read the article. The article link: http://mahadandsafiya.wixsite.com/islam/single-post/2017/02/18/The-Raw-Reality-of-Marriage I will point out some of the things that I

Bali Bali Bali

Like finally kan? I've managed to finish up my long waited video. Actually I managed to finish it up in 2 hours BUT my itchy hand wants to include the Live Photos from my phone which I realised I can't and in ended up becoming a still picture, which I don't want to. And I still can't figure it out so I ditched it in the end. I've also managed to finish my colour correction for my photos and change them to JPEG instead of CR which cannot be uploaded or do anything to it. So here goes! Firstly, I would like to thank my driver for the awesome drive and experience. He is very good! He knows good food and where to go. Just text him 2 weeks before you head to Bali and he will pick you up at the airport. Shout out to Bayu (I know most Singaporeans, even the makcik2 took him as their personal driver too coz he's cheap rates and great service). You can contact him through FB or Whatsapp (+62 815 58091601). Bali is similar to Singapore i find coz the mus
