DeCluttering @ Home

Well.. I took annual leave for yesterday and today.. Tomorrow is a publuc holiday. And I spend the two day doing decluttering job at home.

Phew.. As weekend wife, I got lotsa things to do but not enough time. These two days are hectic. I must say I have the deepest respect for the housewife such as my mom. You might think that who bring the money home should have the higher respect, but I beg to differ.. Moms' works are 24 hours.

Fuhhh.. These two days are making m e real tired. I think I need hired help :P

P/s .. An amusing note.. Found a bagful of hubby clothes and things. See we sometimes do bought things.. Put it aside and forget about it.. Wastefull.. Am putting these on the open so I can remind him not to buy anymore.

A Shy One...

Am at Klinik Kesihatan Bukit Payung at the moment.. Must say, the govt clinic is through.. Weekly checks.. And sometimes follow up calls when I'm not there.. And glares from the nurses if I am late for appointments.. Haha.. I don't blame them.. This means that they are really doing the jobs...

Just want to share.. People even me always confused when to start the pink book (appointment book for expecting mothers at government clinic).. Gor my first pregnancy.. Kimi in 2005, they are a lil bit more relaxed. I used the private clinic under my workplace and just start the pink book around when my pregnancy was about 6 months.

Fast forward to my third one, 2012.. I was a bit late but still early (in my opinion).. So when the clinic ask my 2nd for follow up (at 2.5 years old.. And I was under assumption that they only follow up till 2.. Its actually till they start standard 1 folks!!!)... Anyway.. It was early March.. I was around 3 months along.. And the nurses glared at me soo hard, I thought I had made a grave mistake.. Haha :P

So.. Ladies.. As soon as you suspect you're preggies, just go to the nearest clinic desa.. It is all FOC. But I do wonder, would it be the same if I am in KL with the millions of people there as compared to a small town called Bukit Payung in Marang, Terengganu.

Aahh well, thank you doctors and nurses for your hard work. Had a pic of my newest. A shy one at 4 months. My other two boys were exhibitionist when they were scanned hahaha. Hoping my shy one would be a girl. A health happy girl, physically and mentally healthy, and all the good things for both world and the hereafter. Aminnnnnn...

First Flower for my Mystery Frangipangi

Hmm.. At last my 2nd frangipangi that I bought with the promise that the flower would be a nice yellow had finally bloom.

Dissapointed that it's the plain white colour, the ones associated with the graveyard, although it supposed to smell the nicest. Oh well..

Decluttering the Kiddies Areas Yet Again..

Well, you know kiddies and clutters.. They attract each other.

I am currently on my leave, been at the house for two days (on the weekend, we were in KL for my cousin's wedding). So, it is not all and rosy or relaxing.. Been up and about around the house righting things back up.

For kids, things can be fun, for example putting old cardboards on in this case, the slide is kind of adventures, but for me... It is definitely an eyesore, my eldest Kimi is such a hoarders, it look soo messy for me.

So, I spent this morning righting things again.. And discovering that we bought soo many toys, we really do not need anymore. Most important, I think the play area is much less clutter free and more easy to navigate, hopefully, the boys will spend their time more here and declutter the family area much less haha (think that's wishful thinking on my part there :P).

My Long Neglected Guilty Pleasures..

Short n sweet.. Now don't get naughty.. I love reading so my guilty pleasures are only mild ones...

In this case, a tabloid.. Usually I bought Australia's Women Day (I usually bought these when studying in Aussies those days long ago.. Princess Diana was a hot topic) but today only bought a cheap one In Touch? Just cz the cover page is Demi Moore who was famous during my younger day.. The other mags are showcasing new starlets and celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, whom is not my cup of tea...

Well, another guilty pleasures is Mills and Boons.. Its been eons since I read or even bought one! It was a pleasent surprised to see one at my local bookstore. The print quality is a bit cheaper (though the cover is much classier).. Thinner paper and cover suitable of its status as a paperback. And cheap to boot at RM13.90 as compared to my mag at RM12.90. I supposed cz the content is crap as well.. Hahaha.. If I am not mistaken a M&B books would cost around RM19 during my school days.. A bit steep...

Haha.. So that's my guilty pleasures.. I am supposed to do housekeeping today, my week house is a pigstay but I think I just indulged tonite.. :)

Lily?

Snap this beautiful pic of a lily (I think it is a type of lily species) early morning at Genting on the step to the dinosaur land.

Really nice ain't it, healthy deep green leafs and snowy white flowers dotted with cool fresh dews still untouched by the sun. Nice!!!!!

My Dinner in KB Tonite

These past weeks I have been travelling and living out of the suitcase. Been to four hotels up to today - Grand Riverview in KB, Vistana in Kuantan, peeking into boss's room in Zenith Kuantan, holidaying with ma boys at the Thema Park Hotel in Genting over the weekends, and now chilling before my dinner at Renaissance KB.

Renaissance is easily the best hotel in KB.. Five stars so that's why nowadays I can't stay in here by myself.. My kelayakkan or entittlement doesn't reach the RM230 single room occupancy rate. Well, as I got an event to attend tomorrow here, I am sharing the room with my clerk.

What I like about Renaissance is that it is just a door away from Billion a local supermart. As I am preggies and now obsessed with fruits it is a plus. The fruits is ok and Siam mangoes are also available here at RM3.99.. Well, if you go to the pasar or local market, you would get as low as RM3 per kg but currently in the midst of school break, I don't think the seller want to sell cheap :P

So Billion for me is ok, you can browse its selection of houseware, ladies and guys or like me just buy a fruit knife (Level 3) at RM8.99..

Then to the highest part of Billion, there's a foodcourt where you can buy your dinner. Like mine, a nasi goreng kampung (village style fries rice) extra hot (though like all Kelantanese, it tend to have a bit of sweetness) and a telor mata (fried egg).. Quite a full portion at RM4.. Hurmm yummyyyy :)

New Malaysian Coins

Well, it is the time of the year that I'm superhectic and have to work weekends and public hols to boot! Anyway, in time like this I had to clear away unwanted contents in my bag (gotta admit I accumulated lotsa garbage in there haha)..

Anyway, when clearing the numerous coins, I discover a few pieces of new Malaysian coins, I remember receiving one a few weeks ago during my shopping at Mydin KT so it must have a few more transaction after that I had the 10 and 20 cents coins too.

Well, they are definitely cuter with their golden colour for the 20 and 50 cents, but I think it would definitely fade in time. But the design is actually nicer. It is definitely smaller as seen in the pic and a tad lighter. Perhaps it would be a good thing so I won't have soo much heaviness in my bag for my next cleanup hehe... :)
