School Camp Day

Today is the first day my daughter is going for her first school camp experience. I am so excited for her! But she was having a rollercoaster of emotions in the morning because it is her first time to be away from me since birth.

Her first time was when she was a newborn with jaundice and had to stay at the hospital for 4 days without me lol. Now 10 years later, shes going on 3D2N sch camp haha.

I guess it's good for parents to distance a bit with their child to let them grow their own pair of wings, to kickstart their independence and survival mechanism. I guess? 

I pray for my children will have a bright future ahead of them. ;) Cant wait to hear her stories when she comes back from camp this weekend! 

Events Unfolding

The events that has been happening around the world is very scary and it is scarier to think that all the things mentioned in the hadiths are now happening, rapidly, back to back.

Today seeing the sufferings of many due to the people of power, gives me heartache and anxiety. 

However, I am grateful that no matter what happens, it is meant to happen. Everything happens because He wills it.

And i know that all of us will be alright because He is there with us, always.

May all of us be saved for eternity.

Amin.

Hot Hot Kitchen

HEY guys! How are you today!

The temperature has been going crazy these days. Today is one of the hottest day at my place. And i had to cook lunch, which is Roti Kirai with Kari Ayam. 

I used a neck fan at first but i did not charge it so it went flat after a while. It was successful at making me cool in the kitchen though.

Don't forget to drink lots of water to replenish your body. Have enough sleep is important. And take a break whenever you need to. Self reminder too hehe.

3 of 5 Days Exercise


 I thought i wanted a little rest today morning. But i got bored and i went to jog in the evening instead. I think jogging in the evening for me works best.

I have more energy, I can run further and rest lesser. I took 2 short rest within the 30mins then i continued to walk briskly for another few minutes until 40mins mark before i just.. mehhh.. im done.

Drank my choc milk protein. Feels so sedap after a long run. I think in total i covered about 5km in half an hr. Personal achievement. After hari raya. Lol. So hard to get back on track.

I love running on treadmill coz i can watch videos and forget that i am panting and running. I like to watch action movies.. or anime.. I could run faster in fighting scenes of Attack on Titan hahaha!!


Last Week Of School

 



Just finished my first workout of the week! I tried to do the Bodyrock HIITMax old video by Lisa-Marie. She's my favourite because i love cardio but then as i am aging now, i realise cardio is not ideal for me in the long run. Cant get it done everyday now. So i do it like at least once a week. I get out of breaths easier nowadays. Been doing since i was in my 20s. Now i am 34. I am going towards GrowWithJo. She is another of my favourite. I can do hers everyday.

Growwithjo workouts suits most moms. Working moms, stay at home moms, all moms. As it has zero jumpings, and knee friendly exercises. You can easily modify them to suit your fitness level. Pair it with consistency, her workouts can easily makes you lose weight so easily. Your fats just melts easily i dont know how. I love her workouts because my steps counter reach 10k goal faster lol. I accidentally develop abs lines at the side of my tummy after doing her workout 2 weeks straight. Love it.


But it is hard for me to be consistent. My mornings are hectic. My evenings are too. I try hard to find the time and energy to fit in some exercise but i always end up being tired after doing chores like washing toilet, vacuuming the floor, washing/folding laundry.. Sooo tiring!!! But i am blessed to be able to maintain this size. Hope i wont expand lol.


I have job now btw!!! Good news! Hooray lol. I joined back the workforce on 1 April this year. Just the weekends though. A frontdesk admin kind of job and i love it! I am actually helping a friend because they're looking for someone to cover a staff who's on maternity leave. Glad i could help.


Today I plan to do workout, which i did, while thawing my chicken. Planning to make some mac and cheese. Actually is a creamy pasta, like alfredo sauce kinda pasta but with more cheese. I bought a packet of cheddar cheese for this purpose. Hope the kids love it.


Semester break is coming. I am going to balik kampong for like 10 days. Im going to Melaka. Yahooo it has been like 3 or 4 years I last went there. I went there before covid! I miss sleeping at kampong. I sleep so well. The oxygen level there is so shiok. We always doze off as and when, even when we are not tired HAHA. I hope the burger shop is still there. Cant wait to go to their pasar malam every Friday too. My dad specifically planned to get 2 Fridays so we can go to the pasar malam twice HAHAHA.


I also hope the thai coffee shop is still open too. Miss their pad kra pao and bbq fish.


But i have a bit of a headache to think about how much i would spend to get some data over there for a family of 5. I hope there is like a 100gb card or something. i would buy like 5 of them so we dont have to share data. I dont like to rent the data from SG. Overpriced duh haha. We are also not streaming anyway we dont need superspeed. We just need enough to watch youtube and play games.

Holidays Are Here

It's end of the year holiday!

I havent done anything yet. Since we have not received the news from the school so we are not buying any books or uniform yet. Still quite early. Let the p1 buy first haha.

I did my laundry today quite early. I am done with it by 9. So trying to look productive by typing on my ipad and logitech k380 keyboard since it is underutilised, while trying to look busy so that my children wont come and disturb me, they have a thing with me when i look relax lying on the sofa.

It's just Sunday, but it's quiet outside. I guess either everyone is sleeping in on everyone is already out at about. Shopping malls will be packed and all the fun places will be swarmed with hot and sweaty bodies. 

I have no plans this year. Not going overseas too because i am not keen to renew my passport just yet. All i need is ample sleep and rest at home which i am still not getting.


OH finally i remembered why i am typing. I NEED to tell you about my aircon.

I have a system 3 aircon at home, and it is well used in one room - masterbedroom. It became not cold recently because we use it everyday *but not whole day*. Usually just during the day and off it when it was time to go to bed, around 9ish. So we called the usual servicing company to service it.

Unfortunately the boss came down instead of his 2 indian workers (which i prefer btw). He ketok  me to do all 3 units CHEMICAL wash which i know it was redundant much since we literally under use the middle room aircon. But heck, i thought why not just wash them since it has been like 7+ years of staying here. Might be 7 years of dusts? (impossible since my last servicing was in Jan).

So i diligently paid $450 for that.

IT was cold for ONE day. Then the compressor went down. Like it was blinking and the 3 units blew warm air. We called the same guy and he said we had to change the compressor unit since the PCB is down, im like IMPOSSIBLE. It wasnt faulty until u came and did something back there when all i wanted was just the servicing of the aircon units only. 

Unfortunately it is broken now thanks to him who did dirty to me. He wanted us to pay $600? ..for a secondhand compressor part. Which i got fed up and not reply to his msgs anymore and just think of him as a scammer. 

So now we got hold of an agent directly from the manufacturer of the aircon locally which is charging us the basic price of things and not scam us. So I have been surviving the hot humid air for a week now. Until they come on Monday to check as well fix the compressor i gotta hold on until then.

 Thank God for the rain each day coz at night it will be way hotter if theres no rain. 


So the truth is, i totally lost my trust with the aircon servicing company totally even though we have been engaging them since my parents have aircon and now i have my own house with my own aircon so that is like more than a decade. It has always been his workers doing the job and never not even once do they have to come back and check again because they always service the aircon well. 

Up until the boss came down to service it himself that he played dirty and spoil my compressor unit outside when he didnt have to even touch anything there. I curse him. I curse the things he did to everyone knowingly and unknowingly. For every time u do this, u get your retribution.

GRRRRRRRRRRR. Not cool man.

I need to pay for school books and uniform for my 2 kids. I already paid more when you did chemical wash.. $450.. now u asking for another $600 for something that wasnt broken but u intentionally broke it. 

Have u no heart. I am homemaker and i dont have an income.


TSK!!

It's End of October

It's the flu season! Guess what, i was down with fever the past few days and today has not been good either. I thought I was well enough to do some workouts, turned out i almost had a migrane at night. So i just rested until today. Today is like the 9th day after my temp was 37.9 degrees.

My children is on MC. First it was adik, when she has recovered, her older brother gets 3 days MC (on exam week - *facepalm*). So i have a assistant until tomorrow because he was on MC since yesterday.

We all got it from their dad. This time round the flu bug is so degil, usually i recover in 1 day, but ever since covid, we all take so long to recover. Whats up man!

I sold my iphone 12 pro max btw. I am nowusing 14 pro. Not using max now because of the size and price mainly. Upgraded to 256gb but paid around 200 only yeay! Sold my ip12pm and bought a new ipad 10th gen!!

Not sure why lots of people bash this but coming from a person who just uses for surfing and videos, i think this is a big upgrade compared to the 9th gen even. I didnt buy the pencil this time. I figured i just get the cheap $30 knockoff pencil maybe end of the year i guess? Im only writing on diary.. venting my emotions lol..


Of course i chose the pink shade. It's really red than pink but i love it. Its a pink-red hue. Should have this colour for the 14 pro. It would have been a hit. I dislike that new purple colour. Do you know what it reminds me of? the old Phantom movie. 


HAHAHA. 

So ugly. I wish it was this ipad pink shade. Or the pastel purple that they have for the lower range model. Maybe they tried to make a universal shade. But since when men bother about colours, it's always the girls right! Just make it pink. Boys will choose black anyway. If you have this nice bright pink shade then even the non apple users will want to buy. Then you can get more revenue. Win win haha..

Ok bye that's all.
