Logizomechanophobia
Baca kat blog arin tadi, maksudnya tu fear of computer which none of us in the house have this sort of phobia. Not even that small lady gaga.
That flylady 2nd day babystep was to shine the sink before i go to sleep, and i did. Infact, aku mop satu rumah too. I don't have any weekly cleaner anymore, meaning i have to do all the chores on my own.
Sigh.
On another news, my weekend starts early. Yeay. Might be extended too if i got lazy to send my kids off to my mom on Monday. The babysitter is going to Sabah for another vacation. Best gila. Aku jugak stucked here.
Maybe i'll bring the kids to Poli tomorrow. Jalan2 tengok Karnival. Good way to kill the time too.
Note-to-self: Must.bring.extra.money.to.get.Sawda.new.pants.
Another way to read the note: Yang, i need some money to spend. Hehe.
Since tomorrow is a non-working day for me, i can sleep late. Nak tengok Glow on E! The husband ajak tengok DVD too.
So nite nite u ols.
Berjangkit-jangkit
I want to blog, but i don't have time to really put my thots into words.
In the meantime, i present you an excerpt of my shine the sink experience.
:P
izzie stevens: eh today is my 2nd day of flylady
larawnabe: hehe. so how was it?
larawnabe: the key is to shine ur sink everyday before bedtime
izzie stevens: i know
izzie stevens: i managed to cook during lunch
izzie stevens: because my sink is empty
larawnabe: wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
izzie stevens: pastu in order to shine the sink
izzie stevens: kena clear up dishes semua kan
larawnabe: haah
izzie stevens: pastu meja pun kena clear
izzie stevens: so in a way dia cam berjangkit2
izzie stevens: i even wash my toilet yang kat dapur tu and mopped the entire kitchen and laundry area
izzie stevens: just because i started to shine the sink
izzie stevens:
izzie stevens: gila!
larawnabe: kelas uols
berjangkit-jangkit and i guess that's the idea of the whole thing.
Flybaby Day 2
Today's task is to get dressed up to lace up shoes.
The main point is to feel good about myself. The other reason is that you act different when you have clothes and shoes on.
So, i woke up a little bit early than usual. I take my time to pamper myself. Choose the best baju kurung in the closet. The one i normally avoid. The one i had to iron.
:P
And i will try to wear my peep toe shoes to work today.
:)
After all, Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Sick
Semasa aku cek statistik pengunjung tadi and one of the keyword that lead to my blog was "adik main mak" which i think somebody wanted to find some porn story.
Stupid.
Of course dia tak jumpa la porn kat blog aku yang suci murni ni. Paling kuat pun dia dapat cerita pasal Umar tanya kenapa aku tak keluarkan adik lagi.
But, itu menunjukkan betapa buruknya perangai orang yang mengoogle sebab apa kau nak cari cerita adik main mak?
Sick!
So Sick!
No wonderlah banyak kes-kes entah apa-apa zaman sekarang nih.
Ya Allah, jauhkanlah dari keluarga aku perangai yang bukan-bukan ni.
I believe blogger lain pun kalau tengok keyword yang lead ke blog diorang akan jumpa keyword yang pelik-pelik kan?
Flylady My Lady
It's day One for me.
I shine my sink. I am a happy lady.
i know it may be not shiny enough for some, but this is the best i could do with 20 years old sink. :)I will follow the babysteps, one at a time.
It's time to Finally Love Yourself!
It's Flylady, my Lady.
p.s: Lara, thanks for showing me this site.
No Poo!
Macam-macam la aku ni kan?
Tadi jalan-jalan dalam talian, terjumpa pulak pasal no poo.
Apatuh? Tak ada kena mengena dengan najis okeh.
To go No Poo is to stop using shampoo.
First heard from mommyadam's blog. Tapi since then tak ada news on that anymore as she didn't update on the project.
I cannot live without shampoo. The husband could. His hair is thick and black. But sometimes they are greasy, so always avoid his hair. But it doesn't smell bad.
I was my hair everyday. I shampoo it every other day. So no poo is like a statement saying am-i-out-of-my-mind?
I am still thinking whether to start venturing into this project or not but it is really no harm trying i guess.
The point of no poo is firstly, it saves your body, then the environment, and your also pocket. :P
Secondly, from my reading, if you stop using the harsh shampoos then your hair won't be as greasy. The shampoo strips your hair of oils which makes your body produce more.
So if you stop using shampoo initially there may be a period of icky hair since you body is still over compensating. It does adjust. And you do wash your hair with warm water and also massage your scalp. You won't get gross or smell bad.
Maybe i'll try mommyadam's homemade shampoo which is
1 tablespoon sodium bicarb
1 cup of warm water.
And not forgetting the homemade conditioner recipe which is
1 table spoon Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)1 cup warm water
But before that, i'll need to stop by the shop to get ingredients first.

GTD: Progress Report
Hehe, saja la nak rekod aku punya progress. tak mau la nanti jadi projek hangat-hangat tahi ayam je.
Hehhehe.
Firstly, i blogged about it last Monday.
So far, hari ini Rabu kan? Yang aku dah ikut ialah 2 minute rule. Memang powerful tool nih. Banayak benda selesai because of it. Kalau tak banyak petty taks yang pending just because i am lazy to attend it.
Another thing is i have cleared my inboxes. Both my email, work and personal. Mula-mula nak buat bukan main payah. Imagine jelah, beratus-ratus email dalam email office nak kena kategorikan.
Masak.
Itu belum cerita email gmail. 4k of emails have to be sorted out.
Knowing that it must be done no matter what, i spent the 1/2 morning yesterday doing it.
And the result?
and another one.
So far okehlah, changing habit bit by bit. Karang banyak-banyak sekaligus, tak istiqamah lak.
:)
Way to go, Wawa!
Kasut cinderella
Sawda dapat kasut baru. Kasut baru ada lampu.
Niat dihati mahu yang berbunyi.
Takut bingit dan memekak pula nanti.
8 feet high
Lately, the husband has been studying ways to save up energy. He started his energy-saving project by changing the light bulbs. Since then, he has been monitoring closely the dailty watts usage.
His goal is to achieve the most 500 watts per month. I am not sure of the current reading anyway.
Then, he proceed with the energy saving fan.
You see, our house is an old house built about 20 plus years ago. The ceiling is high, i believe the height of the highest ceiling in the house must be at least 18 feet.
The problem is, eventhough it has high ceiling, the house is always warm. It is as if there's no proper ventilation. The fans are on 24/7 even when we are out. The living area is facing the sun during noon and that sure doesn't help at all.
However, the husband found out that there is an energy-efficient fan, but it costs AUD600 per fan. We cannot afford it, just yet.
While doing his studies on a cheaper option, he stumbled upon the fact that in order a ceiling fan to be effective, it must be installed within certain distance.
So how high is efective?
For maximum cooling, it is most efficient to have the blades 8 to 9 feet above the floor.
He finally changed the rod today, and i must say it brings different to the house.
And good news is, the damage done is only RM24 and a whole lot of sweat.

surat terbuka buat adinda
Adindaku,
Kekanda harap adinda sihat disana. Kekanda faham adinda dilanda masalah kewangan. Tapi adinda perlu ingat, itu bukan salah sesiapa.
Itu salah adinda juga kerana lalai dan tidak peka. Kalau adinda tidak berbuat masalah semester lepas, mungkin adinda sedar mengenai perkara yang adinda perlu lakukan.
Maka adindaku, silalah jangan ulang kesilapan yang sama. Silap sekali itu pengajaran, kalau silap lagi memang bodoh namanya.
Adindaku,
Kekanda juga diberitahu adinda ada mengatakan mengapa orang yang sembahyang tidak mendapat kesenangan, bahkan diberikan pula segalanya kepada mereka yang leka.
Adindaku,
Kesenangan itu subjektif. Sukar diukur. Kesenangan itu juga ujian. Untuk menguji samada kita bersyukur.
Kesusahan itu pula bukan bala. Mungkin ujian. Mungkin dugaan. Mungkin juga tanda Allah sayang kepada kita.
Yang senang tak selalunya tenang. Seringkali kila alpa. Hidup mereka mungkih resah dan gelisah. Memikirkan bagaimana mahu menguruskan harta.
Adindaku yang jauh dimata, dihati tidak kulupa,
Jangan dikira berapa banyak amal kita. Jangan dipinta balasan didunia. Jangan dikaitan amalan dan kesenangan didunia.
Yang penting kita perlu terus berusaha. Seperti kita akan hidup selamanya.
Yang penting kita perlu terus beramal. Seperti kita akan mati esoknya.
Yang penting kita percaya, Allah itu Maha Adil dan Saksama.
Yang penting kita akur, segala berlaku ada hikmahnya.
Yang penting kita sedar, hidup didunia bukan selamanya.
Syurga itu tujuan kita.
Adindaku,
Padamu kekanda semua senang-senang hidupnya. Tapi percayalah, sebelum senang, kesusahan telah dirasa.
Kemanisan hidup pasti tidak dinikmati jika tidak pernah merasai kepahitannya.
Adindaku,
Walaupun adinda seringkali menimbulkan amarah kepada kekanda, dan barangkali kekanda tidak pernah menunjukkan kasih kepada adinda, tetapi ketahuilah, adinda tetap dihati kanda.
Andai dicubit paha kanan adinda, paha kiri kekanda turut terasa pedihnya.
Adinda,
Cuma satu permintaan kanda. Terus berusaha, tingkat prestasi, bangkitkan potensi. Berusaha, dan bertawakkalah.
Insya Allah kejayaan dan kesenangan menanti dikemudian hari.
Salam sayang dari kekandamu.
