Done and dusted! - finally I completed my degree

Image
The time has come! Like finalyyyy, I got my final results and pass! Alhamdulillah!! I was supposed to graduate on June 2020 but because of my financial constraints (focusing on my new home, IUI and IVF), I decided to defer my studies 1 semester and stretched my studies from 3 modules to 2 modules per semester. I think it is a blessing in disguise as Covid-19 hit hard from Jan - August 2020, I got to finish my 3 semesters by online learning. I won't say it is easy but it really saved my time and journey to school and back. I would say, listening to lectures for 3 hours straight at home is very hard because you get distracted on whether to cook dinner, pray or just lazing around/sleep. Online exams are tougher than we anticipated during the Covid period during the Jan - Jun 2020 and when they decided to scrap the idea during the July - Dec 2020 semester and substitute with a 3rd assignment (NOOOOO!!), it was quite a bummer but of course, more time to do assignments and research. But

Review of Thomson Medical - TCM Fertility Treatments

Image
Bismillah. I know some of you have been waiting for this review for the longest time from my previous blog post. We will do backstory a bit before I share my experience.  I wanted to prepare my body for the second IVF because it is frustrating that we have invested so much money and time for this. So I am putting 110% effort such as reducing my weight, eating healthy and preparing my body. I knew that my body wasn't in the best shape after the first round with bloatedness and gaining weight. Moreover, I have a "cold" womb because of my cold legs. To prepare the body and the eggs, they will need me to attend at least 3 months in order to see results. Before I started TCM, I went for a whole-body massage (Malay style) at SpaJelita. To be frank, the massage did not make me feel better, just like someone pressing on my sore muscles, that's all. Last time they had a ginger massage but I think they scrapped it. I was looking into the option of going to Raffles Hospital (jus

32nd Birthday!

Image
Alhamdulillah I am still blessed to reach my 32nd years of living. Start of a small celebration with my family members coming over the weekends. We ordered Fatty Bombom , smores brownie from @sweetneez and mom brought putri salat (my favourite!). I was so happy to get my family to come to my place and play with our kittens. heheh K lah not really a celebration but just makan-makan session. Then on the day itself, at work my colleagues surprised me with a Chocolate Origin cake. so yummy! I have been wanting to have one and it just melts in my mouth.   Then when I cam back from work, A surprised me with a cake with an LV bag design. It was so cute because I told him that I did not manage to get a branded bag for my birthday. The xake was delicious too. Then A and I went to Carousel for our dinner because I was eyeing the chilli lobster, oysters and the duck. It was splendid! I had to eat all my favourite food and waited patiently for the desserts. Of course, I was waiting for bread pudd

Kitchen Revamp

Image
Bismillah. How is everyone doing? If you are from my Instagram and saw my highlights from instastory , welcome to the extended version of my dream kitchen. I have many kitchen inspiration from my previous post but this is the cheapest and easiest to execute. I didn't decide to renovate since I still want to have the option to sell my house, save money for my next house. My dream kitchen concept. Very bright and spacious  So sweee I got the idea from Lazada spaces where they keep on showing the vinyl stickers for kitchen cabinets. I already have an idea of having the white and marble vinyls and then the green came and it looked so pretty! Just the way I wanted! Pasting it is also easy, not so many problems and installing the handles were a breeze too. I bought the gold handles and knobs from Ikea, just follow the measurement of the current handles on the cabinets and buy accordingly. I really love the before and after. There' so much difference in the kitchen vibes. And total

Staycations and using Singapore rediscover voucher (SRV)

Image
Alhamdulillah that I have managed to go for my staycations both in November and December. November was with A and we stayed at Santa Grand Hotel. Everything about the hotel is splendid especially the rooftop swimming pool that became somewhat like our own private pool! hahahha We didn't go many places as I planned because my husband wanted to rest at home. And in December, it is our normal practice to have a staycation with my girls Hajar and Amany. Previous years were either KL or Batam but this year, we chose to just have a staycation at Orchard Hotel. Before that, I planned to do some activities with them before we checked into our hotel. We booked MegaZip zipline (using SRV) in Sentosa that took almost 4 hours of wait and doing it. It was so easy to use, we booked through Klook and booked on our own since we can only transact 1 SRV per transaction. We will need to click on the link which it will redirect to Singpass login and they will give a code to paste back to Klook. Luckil
