<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A little while ago, I asked Youngster #1 where would she wants to have her birthday at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Me : Kakak nak buat birthday kat school ke.. kat rumah?</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Youngster #1 : Kat rumah boleh.. kat hotel pon ok. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Did she not hear my option?</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kot ye pon.. agak-agak laa kan. Birthday budak 6 tahun nak buat kat hotel.. Apakahhh?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fast forward, I asked her again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This time she<b><u> CONFIRMED</u></b> that she want it to be at our new place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But she requested -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Frozen theme birthday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) Clown with balloon sculpture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) Face painting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4) Ice Cream. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5) Games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6) Lots and lots of balloon and bubbles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">* Pengsan mak *</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bought this side table some time ago, during Ik.ea sale. Was on sale less than RM100, I think. Good bargain isn't ?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, in order to match the bed in the guest room (IKEA Hemnes Collection), </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I finally have the time to change the color :</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the easiest method, which is to spray - by using black matte spray. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One can covers all the sides with one coat. So, if you want to do multiple coating, prepare to buy plenty of cans. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The thing is, I was too lazy to cover the area. Hence, I sprayed directly on the wall, grass and creepers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3 days has passed, I think GadgetGeek still not realised about this. But I think he will freak out this weekend. </span><br />

(I think)<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Earthlings, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Seriously, the finishing are yet to be finished. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hahaha.. it was an overdue thingy because the work has been stopped quite some time already. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, we had a small kenduri doa selamat on February 2 (Sunday), attended by immediate family, neighbors and few orang masjid. Roughly it was about 50 - 60 people. Small crowd. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Insha Allah, if time permits (subject to i-Rajin) we might host another housewarming for extended families and friends. Else, if i-Malas.. <i>mintak maaf banyak-banyak lah </i>mainly because I don't have any helper around. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So the cleaning process took roughly about 3 days, assisted by my dad's workers, 4 hours of daily maids and my family. The last-minute fixing and wiring was done by my bro-in-law since all the Chinese Contractor has started their CNY Holiday. Quite tiring and stressful phase. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Selected <a href="http://www.alyajaya.com/">Alya Jaya Catering</a> as our caterer (Confirmed by Wednesday), had nasi tomato package (RM12.50 per head) together with two waiters and additional teh tarik and teh o since our kenduri starts at 10 in the morning. A caterer (dealt with Cik Zak.iah) whom easy to work with as I requested for the additional drinks on Saturday afternoon. Truly recommended. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Earthlings, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Felt chest pain and feverish the moment I stepped into my house from work which I thought it was a stress from the presence of my new superior. It turned out that I have pneumonia. <i>Muahaha.. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Buruk sangka punya pasal. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">will try to update (I doubt it) the overdue entry with limited internet. Our current house internet has been terminated because we plan to move by end of the month.<i> Insha Allah. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The new house is not really done yet, but all the essential things <i>semua dah</i> complete. So <i>yang</i> itsy bitsy here and there, will do slowly and <i>pejam mata je lah.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also planned not to subscribe to Astro anymore. <i>Boleh hidup ke tanpa Astro? Sure boleh!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our current Astro, subscribe to full package <i>pon macam useless. Tapi yang dapat view cuma </i>few channels <i>macam </i>movie channels and ch709. <i>The rest mcm ikut mood nak appear or not. </i>Like Disney Channels. Semua Disney channel ada except Channel PlayHouse Disney.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Malas nak panggil technician what not sebab nanti another charge.. bla.. bla.. Pastu kasi reason Astro kat this area memang macam tu. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Blurghh.. whatever. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sick and tired of it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">80% of the things, we have transferred to the new house. What's left to pack now is just our kitchen utensils, clothes and tv. Other heavy furniture like bed, cupboard, dining table, couch, fridge, washer & dryer we leave as is. Plan to pass to my Mom in law as her weekend/weekday house since she is working in downtown KL. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If time (and internet) permits, I will share some tips in curtain and carpet hunting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Earthlings, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are now in the first quarter of 2014 (and I have always been like this. Not being able to update my blog on daily basis. <i>Cita-cita ada.. tapi tak sempat)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Alhamdulillah, we received the invitation from the Almighty to visit the Holy Mecca and Medina on 27th December 2013. All these while, I thought the best place to celebrate new year is in New York, but after experiencing Mecca, I believe.. the Holy Land is best place to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Everything was sudden. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our original plan was to go to Houston for three weeks, paying my Sis.in.Law II a visit. Sort of family trip thingy. Even more, we planned it since mid last year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some how the plan got diverted and went to the travel agency end November, picked the earliest date available and wallah.. it's confirmed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Even the <i>kursus</i> we went a week before the trip since our schedule were pretty tight up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Again, will try to give tips on the trip. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sigh. Can't promise. </span></div>

Dear Earthlings, </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Benci! Benci!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I hate for admitting this. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The handbag which I bought in Woodbury last year is actually a boarskin leather. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Before I took out the <i>moo-lah</i> out of my purse, I did asked the salesgirl and she told me that it's cowskin leather. Relied on her statement, I made the purchase.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
This morning, a colleague wanted to buy a handbag from the same brand. Did a bit of research here and there, and stumbled into this. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Ghupa-ghupanya my handbag is .. GENUINE BOARSKIN EMBOSSED COWHIDE LEATHER. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Apparently most of Kate Spade's product are boarskin leather for a reason that this type of leather is durable and anti-scratch. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
So how now brown cow? </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Earthlings, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After having a <i>nak-tanak</i> thought for almost six months, I finally got myself a brand new laptop! Muahahaha!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A big deal for me because I have been contemplating between : </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a) i5 -vs- i7</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">b) 128 GB -vs- 256 GB </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and the list goes on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since the specs that I wanted are not on the shelf, it has to be customade and the order can only be done via online. So I contacted the helpline and have spoken to its personnel. Ding dong here and there, I finally have decided which one I wanted, whereby the additional cost I have to top up is around RM1.8k. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was ready to proceed with the order, until the personnel said that I have to surrender my credit card number and its cvv so he can process my order (managed to get FREE magic mouse). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pulak dahhhh.. Afraid of fraud etc, I decided not to proceed even though the website is legit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">According to him, if I order via online personally I will not get freebies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I passed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wanted to do online purchase but the problem that I have now is the delivery address. Should I receive the delivery at the office or at home? hmm.. Tough choice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, I have been sitting on the order for almost 2 months until yesterday, the BlueCompany IT guy send out an email informing that they will shut down the email site that I have been using on this coming December. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By hook or crook,<i> kena jugak beli</i> laptop so the IT guy can transfer all my email folders in my laptop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">GadgetGeek said that no point for me to spend so much for a laptop because lifespan for technology is max 2-3 years. Because of his advise, I went straight to the shop and got myself a basic laptop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The purchase was done in less than 2 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just asked the shop whether they have any stock for the intended model. Once they confirmed, I q</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">uickly walked to the counter and walllahhhhh.. the laptop is mineeeeeee!! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mineeeee!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Earthlings, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope to find time to update my (almost a year ago) trip to Hong Kong. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">School holiday is coming up, and I'm pretty sure that many people out there are busy googling for the tips, which ironically I have plenty of it! including the best spot to watch some shows. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Please bear with me okay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pretty tight up with office work (boo-ringggggg), packing and cleaning our new place (which we are yet to move. Slowly but surely) and also getting ready for our year end trip. <i>Insha Allah. </i></span></div>

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Oh, it is so depressing when the Blue Company has decided that we have to execute the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5S_%28methodology%29">5s </a>thingy. Since our subsidiaries has carry out 5s long time ago, so now it's our turn. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Sigh. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Anyways, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I don't think I can implement 5s in my house. Too many junks (?) All these are sentimental to me. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On a different page, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
we are now in the midst of furnishing our new home. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Yet to move, but has started to clean one room per week. Simply because we are doing this ourselves. No maid or helper to help us out.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Like last Sunday, I cleaned the kids room and bathroom, while GadgetGeek assembling the beds. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Speaking for furnishing, I am on closet mode. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I planned to have a bigger closet since both will be sharing the same room and closet. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
So the only closet that come into my mind is <a href="http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/categories/departments/bedroom/tools/planner_pax/">PAX, by IKEA</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Reason being, you can adjust the shelves, clothes bar/rail, mix and match sesedap rasa. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Wanted the kids to be independent. Amik baju and simpan sendiri. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Clothes rail tu boleh adjust kasi rendah so the kids can choose and pick their own attire. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Not only that, they also can keep their school bags, hats, accesories etc in separate shelves. At least, takde la bag semua bersepah atas lantai or bergantunggan. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Their bedsheets, blankets, towels semua boleh simpan in one place instead of keeping it in a different room. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In future, kot tak cukup tempat lagi, this closet can be extended. Very practical isn't it?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
However, my idea sudah ditembak jatuh oleh GadgetGeek. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Out of budget and too much untuk budak umur 5 dan 3, katanya. </div>

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
This was my first time joining my sistas in<a href="http://www.goodscycle.org/"> car boot sale </a>(second time for them). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since the place is quite far from ours (Bukit Mahkota, Section 2), it took us almost an hour from Damansara. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Those interested for car boot sale can click the link. They also conduct at other places. Feel free to check. One car lot is only RM7.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The night before the carboot sale, I was quite busy sorting out my things. This includes GadgetGeek stuff.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Me : You nak pakai lagi tak this shoes?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
GadgetGeek : Yes</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Me : But you memang tak pakai kasut ni. More than six years already. Esok I jual eh. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
GadgetGeek : Please don't mess with my stuff. I'm a collector. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Anyways, (i think) he got mad at me because few years ago, I
sold off his things for my garage sale which includes my presents to him.</div>
<i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hahaha.. dendam lama berdarah kembali. Hahaha</i><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Seriously. Tak pakai pon. Dah lama dalam almari. Plastic pon tak bukak lagi. <br />
</i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Anyhoo, I departed at 6.30, reached by 7:30am with my Sista #1.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Sista #3 arrived later with her Che Abe and her 5 months old pokcik. </div>

A couple of hours later, GadgetGeek arrived with Youngster #1 & 2. Reason being, he just wanted to check whether I took his stuff for sale or not. Muahaha.. <i>Tak caya bini kann</i>.. <br />
<br />
Sold our stuff dirt cheap. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Dresses (NEXT, GAP, etc) for girls age 10-12 at the price of RM8 - RM10 (used not more than twice), my (new without tag) NINE WEST boots was sold at the price of RM20, Sista #3 NINE WEST boots (bought in Dubai, used once) sold at RM30.<br />
Niece roller blade : RM5, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Nephew's shirts (QUIKSILVER, NEXT, GAP etc) : RM10 - RM5. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
My long sleeves tshirts were sold at RM1 per piece. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Sista #4 ADIDAS sneakers : RM10 - RM5. SKETCHERS RM5.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Brand new bedsheet (duvet cover, bedsheet, pillowcase (2) and bolster sheet) - RM30 </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Some of Youngster #1 & #2 clothes : 50 cent - RM2. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Youngster #1 shoes (2 pairs) and 1 slippers we sold at the total price of RM13. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
All in excellent and good condition. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Most of the buyers are nice, but there are some who are harassing us to mark down the price. Yes, literally harassing. (the 'foreigners' laa especially) <i>Paksa-paksa pulak. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
For instance, Sista #1 told the buyer, the price per piece is RM20 (bought the dress more than RM150) Worn once. Anyways, if the buyer intend to take two piece, she will give the price of RM10 each. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The said buyer wanted it to be RM10 for two, meaning RM5 each. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Boleh???</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Haih.. macam-macam.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
I think total number of cars who participated more than 20. Sale starts at 7.30am until 11am. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
During my highschool - uni, we (me and my siblings) would always ask our arwah nenek & mom to pray for us whenever we have to face our exam. My mom would normally perform a solat hajat on the exam day itself. Let say exam starts at 9 am, so she would pray sometime between 9 to 9:30 am. <i>If exam tu untuk 5 hari, maka 5 hari lah akan buat solat hajat.</i><br />
The candidate herself.. hmm.. subject to <i>kerajinan. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
There was a time where I had this one exam (I think it was Corp Financial Management. Yes, I hate this paper so much so I didn't complete the course) and my mom complained to me that she was soooo sleepy whilst praying the hajat. Further, she said that she had this bad feeling that I couldn't pass through the exam. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
It happened to be true, I failed the paper. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Hehehe.. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So yesterday, was no exception. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I had to face the internal exam conducted by the Blue Company. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Feel like I'm taking a PMR because as soon as I finished my exam, my mom called me up. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Her usual line was - <i>"Boleh buat ke tak boleh?"</i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And I replied, <i> </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>"Masa mami smayang hajat tadi tu ngantok tak?"</i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Hahaha.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Regardless how old we become, we will always depend on our mom isn't?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In my case she would be the laundrette sorter, my trustworthy babysitter, personal chef.. u name it. Anything under the sun. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
It explains why even <i>dah tua, still kena bebel dengan mak. </i></div>

Dear Earthlings,</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Seriously. The last time I wrote was in mid of Ramadhan. Syawal has already passed and now it's Zulkaedah. How long is that? bwhahahaha</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Have many things in mind to share with but time (and the laptop) are the culprit. My 5 year old laptop has started to show her blue screen and I believe it shall kaput anytime soon. Planned to buy the replacement but still has no time to order. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Anyways, on the other side.. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
After almost ten years in debt with pt.ptn, I finally settled out the balance of my loan on the last date for 20% discount. Alhamdulillah. (also big thanks to my other half)<br />
Took the loan during my first year degree for three years. Used that money to splurge. Ops, I mean to buy books, pay school fees, handphones? etc.<br />
A little regret that I should have placed all the monies into fixed deposit account and/or ASB instead.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I can't deny that I was contemplating whether to proceed with the installment (10% discount) or to make full payment. <br />
<br />
FYI, since I did not sign the (new) agreement (Ujrah) therefore I am not entitle for the change from 3% to 1% interest. The simple reason why I did not sign was because the agreement is lopsided. Further, you have to give consent so they can access your account (KWSP.LHDN.SOCSO) etc.<br />
Of course la kan tak boleh. Benda confidential kannn..<br />
<br />
So, on the afternoon of 30 September 2013, I went to their office in KL Sentral. Sorted the payment after a couple of hours at few counters (verifying counter for latest account update, get the number for the payment counter and wait for your name to be called for the release letter at the other counter).<br />
<br />
Yang tak best tu pasal orang yang jaga kat counter most of them macam sombong. Senyum pon tak. Tak faham btol. <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How time flies! We are now approaching the mid of Ramadhan, which means we have approximately two more weeks before Raya! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No excuse for me, as this year we are going back to Alor Setar for Raya. Didn't spend much on Raya clothing for me and GadgetGeek. We just rotate which ever that it is already in our closet, except for the kids. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bought 2 + 2 metres and asked my mom to jahit baju kurung for Youngster #1. Rezeki budak budak, my mom top up another 4 pasang baju kurung for her, making the total of 6 baju kurung. Bila masa nak pakai pon tak tau. My mom used to jahit our baju sekolah, baju raya.. shoulder bag.. curtain.. you name it.. crochet, cross stitch.. kacang goreng je. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, jahit untuk cucu pulak. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Same goes to Youngster #2. Asked my mom to jahit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But since this is her first time sewing a baju melayu johor, she asked me to take the measurement and cut on the paper so later she can potong kain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So tawakal je lah apa nak jadi. Cantik or not, doesn't matter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Total pieces nak kena amik measurement - body, side, sleeves, pockets, neck line, and also for the pants. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What else.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hmm.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
House chores.. Oh no! Don't let me start on the chores (again)! Can we just leave it alone please. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways, nothing much happening around us except that the BlueCompany have promoted me to another level. <i>Alhamdulillah</i>, though on a second thought, I feel like maintaining the current position. Simply because, with great power comes a great responsibility. <i>Yeah. .. great lah sangat. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Haip! Tak boleh komplen banyak sangat.. nanti tak bersyukur pulak. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>(Mostly because takot sangat kepala kena pancung)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our new residence.. still maintain status quo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>lol. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The house still not complete 100%, issues<i> macam wireman balik kampung. Janji nak datang next week (that was 3 weeks ago) still next week tu tak sampai-sampai. Karang if hire orang lain, merajuk pulak. Melayu punya hal. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So dah give up to countdown, except that GadgetGeek is targeting to go in before end of August. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh well.. </div>
We'll see. <br />

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since the maid has gone balik kampung, I had no choice but to immediately take charge, especially on the laundry because I do not want the history to repeat again - <i>Ehem.</i>. A mountain high laundry. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Not only that, our life has back to normal us where the laundry is done 3-4 times a week, ironing once a week (only iron my and kids clothes. While GadgetGeek's office attire - weekly ironing to laundrette, folding (depends) just because I'm too lazy to do it. But the hardest chores of all is to keep the folded clothes in the closet. Sigh. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Last time we had the luxury of having change of bedsheet twice a week. Ironed bedsheet. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
With our current situation, weekly change I think it is more than enough. Non-ironed aka crumple bedsheet. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Lantaks. Janji tukar. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
GadgetGeek chores, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
sort out trash and tutoring Youngster #1 with Qiraati & English reading. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
For the kids, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
About three days after the maid left, I then asked the kids to drink milk in cup. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Again, I'm too lazy to clean up the bottle. At first, there was a series of disputes and questions as to why I have to drink in cup. I want the bottle. blah.. blah.. blah.. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Well, do I care? </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
No. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The queen is still alive.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So the kids had no choice but to have their milk in cups. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Next one would be the laundry. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
As you know we send the kids full day at school. So the dirty clothes from school, I asked Youngster #1 to take out from the bags into the laundry basket. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Yeah, sounds simple.. but I think a little help would do. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Toys, I normally asked the kids to clean up before they go to bed. If not, I will have sore eyes if I can see their toys in the living room next morning. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
GadgetGeek has asked me since last month to look for the replacement. I still cannot find time to go to the agency. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Dinner time. Well the good news is.. our kitchen is now being treated as the house accessory. We could just tapau, or head to my family's place :D </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Then after dinner can <i>balik tido. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

Dear Earthlings,</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Last time we were able to cope our life without maid. Mainly because we had never really have one. But this time, though we only had it for merely 6-7 months, it really hit us (a bit).</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The tense is building up because the kids are no longer have their breakfast before going to school, the laundry is piling up (the washing and drying are the easiest one. Thanks to the press of a button), but the chaos starts when GadgetGeek is scheduled for business trip. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
His attire has to be ironed prior packing into the suitcase. And don't let me start on unpacking. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
No more luxury of having ironed-cleaned bedsheet twice a week. Janji tukar saja bedsheet. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since all the chores we have to do ourselves, I now discovered - </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1) My vacuum cleaner has thousands of scratches. Thanks to my previous maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
2) Someone dropped my color palette make up. The casing sudah pecah a bit same goes with some of the colors. I know because the kids never play with my things on the dressing table, and I.. of course wouldn't drop my palette. Thanks to my previous maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
3) The laundry floor was supposed to be cleaned & mopped everyday. On the first day I stepped into the laundry area, I noticed it was dusty and looks like it has never been cleaned. Thanks to my previous maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
4) My favourite bangle has gone. Thanks to my previous maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
5) Mop and ironing board sudah patah. Thanks to my previous maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
and many more things that I realised my previous maid did not do her job throughly. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We have returned the 7 months maid balik kampung. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
It started because of this one sms, coming from the maid's cousin. Knew her during the maid's first outing in KL.CC.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLTbcDiUuznoADPVURvLWLpFaQTnUa9VvGN24ER7ufe2oTcPHevUp_txhMAq8J2nuEZxCnHbfcdYeR3e-0ptWqIBW8yDkUje7RVPiho8l79gyhmZPSqomsFu3B_8HJFAD3_uHYB-cVGCq/s1600/IMG_2044.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLTbcDiUuznoADPVURvLWLpFaQTnUa9VvGN24ER7ufe2oTcPHevUp_txhMAq8J2nuEZxCnHbfcdYeR3e-0ptWqIBW8yDkUje7RVPiho8l79gyhmZPSqomsFu3B_8HJFAD3_uHYB-cVGCq/s400/IMG_2044.PNG" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
Followed by conversations between the maid and my mother. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
According to my mother, the maid plan to balik kampung in July. She texted me when I was in the office (3 days later after I received the above sms)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Why another month? </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Basically because she needs pocket money. For the past 6 months she's working she withdrew all her salary (every month) and mostly spent on reload/top up. Ironically she rarely contact her husband, but spent most of her time texting her friends here. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Two weeks before everything started to mess up, she woke up late for almost a week though we'd already given her alarm clock etc. She goes to bed before 10 every night. So I expect her to be ready by 6 am. Most of the time latter than 6.45am. If it wasn't me who woke her up, I don't know what time she got up. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I was the one who knocked the door to wake her up, which pretty sick and tiring for me. That time GadgetGeek was on business trip, leaving me stressed up alone. Upon his return, we discussed how to go about this, seeing that the maid is planning to run away. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Why I believe that she plans to run away?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
She is one talkative person. But that whole week she was not being her. More of being silent. Previously, she always shared to me her working experience. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
There was one story when she was working in Manila. She told her Employer that she wants to balik kampung, but ended she went to work with the Employer's neighbour. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Another story, one of her friends ("N" - <i>refer to the above sms</i>) ranaway from the Employer. So I told her not to do that to us. She replied, "don't worry Madame. I will not do that. I will tell you that I want to balik kampung".</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Fastforward. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Come Sunday, her outing day (or should I say her pre-plan lari day). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
GadgetGeek blurted to her that she cannot go outing because we cannot get on hold the Agent. (We paid the Agent to process permit etc. Surrendered the maid's passport back in November last year). It turned out that our Agent misrepresented the (registered) Agency and is a conman. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Can't wait no more, we seek for friends advices. A friend advised to send the maid straight to depoh. Some advised to send to the Embassy etc. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Cut the story short. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b>FRIDAY (2 days earlier)</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I went to immigration to check on the Employer status whether there was any submission for permit under our name. - Negative. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Then I went to immigration (Enforcement Department). Been advised by the Officer in charge. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Later that evening GadgetGeek went to the police station to lodge report. Storied from A-Z. Almost 2 pages long I think. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b>SATURDAY </b>- King's Holiday</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b>SUNDAY </b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
GadgetGeek break the news to the maid and asked her to pack up. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The maid insisted on going for outing.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
But we re-advised her to pack and her outing is cancelled. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The maid gave excuse that she needs to buy suitcase to pack. (Still want to go for outing)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We didn't allowed but gave her one large suitcase instead. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And of course, her handphone rang like hell. Received call every other minute. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Can you just imagine?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Later that evening, we went to my parent's place for dinner and she had the nerve to say to my father "My Employer don't want me anymore".</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Like, whatdehell?? </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Her work performance is degrading, woke up late, always on the phone.. U think??</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Even though she gave us hardtime, we still took her for some shopping and Putrajaya sightseeing. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>MONDAY</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1) Took her to the Embassy to process her travel document.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Thought of leaving her at the Embassy but the Embassy said that it is not their problem. Have to deal with the Immigration.<br />
And getting a travel document is not that hard. They don't even bother to look at our police report and it was ready in 3 hours. VERY EFFICIENT. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2) Afternoon to the Malaysia Immigration (Enforcement). The other officer-in-charge advised how to apply the <a href="http://portal.ikdn.gov.my/2011/06/soalan-soalan-lazim-program-6p/">6P Programme. </a></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
(Employer to prepare letter addressed to the Immigration, attach the yellow form & letter from the Embassy, flight ticket)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
3) Went back home, bought one way ticket, drafted the letter and we went off to the Immigration again. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
4) The Immigration did the process and the maid was thumb print registered. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Later the Immigration issued the release travel document. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
OK. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
What is 6P Programme. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Program Pem.utihan for PA.TI.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Little that we know to have maid from Philipines, we have to use calling visa unlike from Indonesia. (We thought only from Cambodia use calling visa).</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So since the period of stay has lapsed and has no passport she is considered a PA.TI. Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Having a PA.TI inside our house, we can easily be fine up to RM30,000 in total. RM5,000 per head if I'm not mistaken. Imprisonment included. That was advised by the Immigration Officer to us. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
However, there is a fine line when you are deporting a PA.TI. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
He/She cannot enter our country for the next five years.Anyways, we just want to get over and done with. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<u>Cost incurred by us</u>. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Travel document from Embassy <u><b>RM115.50</b></u></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
(Both of our cars kena saman dekat Embassy. There was no parking lot, parked by the roadside)<b> <u>$$$ </u></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Penalty from Malaysia Immigration <u><b>RM400.00 </b></u>(kalau tak, kena RM3000.00. Nasib baik 6P still on)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Flight ticket (Cebu Air)(KL-Manila-Zamboanga) <u><b>RM800</b></u> (inclusive meal & baggage allowance)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We also paid her full salary for the month.<b>RMxxxx</b> <i>(duit titik peluh orang kerja kena bayar in full)</i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Despite that we had to fork out our money, the maid questioned us :</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1) Why we took the very next day flight for her? Why not wait until the end of stay period? (The Embassy gave 3 months extension of stay)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Simple - we do not want to take any risk.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
2) Why travel document only? Why did not request for passport?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
OK. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
YOUR travel document cost us for RM115. And can you answer why we do not want to spend more on your passport? To apply passport is RM600++ <br />
According to her it only cost her 2000 peso (approx RM200) to get passport in her home country. So I told her to apply for it once she's home. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
For these reasons, I now understand why the Employer just let go the maid if the maid lari. Obviously because of these unnecessary expenses!!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We could have just deduct from her current month salary.<i> Tapi kesian. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Sebab dari keluarga susah. Rumah atas air. Kerja hari-hari basuh baju dapat upah 100 peso sehari (RM10).</i> </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
At the airport, I forwarded <u><b>ALL</b></u> her money and asked her to write the total she received. We are lucky because we documented every single cent in and out, and her monthly salary is bank-in in separate account.<br />
<br />
My father reminded us to make sure that we give all of the maid's money. <i>Kalau ajal dah sampai, mana nak cari maid ni nak pulang hak duit dia. Tak perlu nak buat deduction untuk flight ticket ke.. apa ke. Anggap je tak ada rezeki and things happened for a reason.</i> </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
What to bring to the Airport.<br />
1) Air flight ticket<br />
2) Travel document (yellow paper from Embassy)<br />
3) Release letter from Malaysia Immigration<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Ni lah orang kata, bagi betis nak peha. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Dah layan elok, still tak syukur. Takpelah. Bukan rezeki kitaorang nak ada maid, and bukan rezeki dia untuk kerja dengan kitaorang. </i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Rumah pakai washer & dryer, kids go to school full day, all she needs to do cuma sort out the laundry and cleaning. She is free to use handphone as long as she completes her chores. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
That's all. Yang tu pun susah sangat ke? </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Too bad. We really liked her. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
On the next day, she rang me to inform that she has reached home. Even her mother spoke to my mom, thanking for taking care of her daughter.<br />
Too bad that she has decided not to work with us. We even planned to give her RAYA Bonus next month.<br />
What ever it is, life goes on. We wish her best of luck in whatever things that she is doing. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
ps - "Madame, later I add you on my facebook ok".</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i>Haaa... boleh???</i><br />
Rasanya maid kitaorang ni culture shock. </div>

In my <a href="http://realityedition.blogspot.com/2013/02/post-0257-guilty-as-charged.html">earlier entry</a> I told that I can never wear this clutch (yet) because it is too expensive for me. Guilty conscious moment. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<u>WARNING : Lengthy story </u></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Today marked the sixth month our helper is with us. Of course there are hiccups here and there, but I can't get the best of everything isn't it? So I have to be thankful regardless. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We normally send the helper to her cousin house for her outing days. Until one fine day, she told me that she wanted to go lepak downtown meeting her friends. FYI, this happened about two months ago. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On that particular morning, GadgetGeek was already out for meeting. So I had to sort out the outing. On our way to her cousin house, the helper told that she wants to go to downtown. Seriously, I really hate last minute change of plan. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since the two Youngsters were with me, I had no choice but to ask the helper to go by cab. To make things easy, I hailed the cab for her. Called her every 15 minutes to make sure that she reached her destination. 30 - 40 minutes later she reached down town. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I reminded her that I will pick up at the last spot around 5pm that evening. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
At 4.30pm, I called her but the call went to the voicemail. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And it goes on until 5.30pm. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I waited and searched at the pick up point, but couldn't see her whereabout. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So I went to the cousin's house. Had no clue, so I asked the people around the area. Surprisingly, that person was the cousin's landlord. According to her the cousin has not been paying the rental for 2-3 months already and rarely come back to the house. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Only God knows what has been crossing my mind when I heard the news. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I just conclude.. "Oh, shit. My maid run away". </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
You see, everything is A okay until you get a maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
This is when you get spoilt! Pfft.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The maid do the chores. You sit down and look pretty. (don't take this literally)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So now I understand why some people (including me, now) cannot live without maid. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Arrggghhh...!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Okay. Back to my story. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Called up GadgetGeek, and he asked me to return home. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
At home, I called up the cousin, asked for few numbers.. and I ended rang up the whole clan. Everybody (the helper's friends which I don't even know them) was in the state of panic looking for her.<br />
<br />
We determined that if she cannot be found, we are going to make a police report. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
One of the calls I made, I spoke to one of her friends that she met up earlier that day. According to her, they split up around 4pm because my maid needs to be at the pick up point at 5. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Then it hit us. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
What if the taxi driver kidnapped her? Kidnap, rape and kill?<br />
Afterall, she is not familiar with the streets in KL. Very scary indeed!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In the midst of chaos, I went to the kitchen and washed the dishes. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Don't ask me why. But that is what I do best when I got stressed up. I do chores!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We continued calling her number but same answer - Voicemail.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Right after maghrib, GadgetGeek drove out to the pick up point while me, waited at the house with kids. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
15 minutes later, GadgetGeek called me up saying that he has found her. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Where?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Around the pick up point.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The maid walked to his car and told that she waited for us since 5pm. Her phone was running out of batt. (She has been using her old phone from her hometown)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
She told that she couldn't see my car because there are so many white cars.<br />
Eleh. Blame for my massive production car some more.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Later that night, GadgetGeek took her to the mobile shop to get a new phone. As a gift, for the sake of her safety. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Anyhow, what's important I thank God she is safe and sound! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And yes, GadgetGeek still making fun of me doing the dishes when the maid gone missing. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Haha. V.e.r.y. f.u.n.n.y.<br />
NOT!<br />

Dear Earthlings, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Youngster #2 is now off-diaper! Definitely it is a BIG thing and yeay for me!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Not only that, we also have weaned him off and he is on sippie cup / sports bottle. No more milk bottle. wuhuu!! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We started on Chinese New Year holiday, about 3 weeks ago.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I woke up one morning and decided to potty train him, since it was a long break. Getting tired of buying diapers already, and it's not cheap! We had to spare RM150-RM200 per month for diaper. Isn't it a waste?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
First thing first. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Roll & keep the carpets in safe place, because for the first 4 days, shee-shee and poo-poo every where, though we have reminded him every second. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I think that was the stress part. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Previously we took him to the toilet every 30 minutes. But seeing that he always peed in the pants, the toilet trip was changed to every 15-20 minutes. Regardless he wants to pee or not. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since it was a new experience for him, we let him pee on the toilet floor. After two-three days when we trust that he is comfortable peeing, we start to teach him to sit on toilet seat. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Pardon me, but I don't believe in potty training kid using this.</div>

I have to admit that it was a bit difficult for him to adjust with the new situation, but you.. yourself have to <b>support and continuously train</b> (and force!) him. I think he started to poo using toilet seat after almost a week of training. <br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Night time, get him to pee before sleep. When he is already asleep, I put on the diaper. But at the very next morning, as soon as he wakes up, I immediately take him to the toilet. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Yes, for the first few nights you will get a wet diaper, but eventually the kid will stop to pee. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
After monitoring him for 3 continuous night of wet-free diaper, I stop the night diaper and bought changing mat, to place under the bedsheet. (Just in case)</div>

When travel or<i> jalan-jalan</i>, we still take him for toilet trip. A bit hassle, but the show must goes on. During our last visit to PD, Youngster #2 was on potty train. So we put on the diaper for the road trip. <i>Tak nak la dapat extra kerja dalam kereta pulak kan, kena cuci and all.</i> But surprisingly, dia did not wet the diaper. Good news, weeehooo!! Good news<i> laa kan sebab dapat control for 3 hours. Check in je, terus bawak masuk toilet. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Nowadays d<i>ah confident sikit tak pakai diaper dalam kereta.</i> So far <i>alhamdulillah</i>. Ask him to go to the toilet first before we leave the house for school. Upon reaching school, another toilet trip. We also asked the teachers to coorporate in training him. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
At first, some teachers support our effort, others were sceptical. Blaming us on starting potty train too early on Youngster #2. To us, when the kid knows the different between pee and poo and also already know how to talk, we should train them. If we were want to wait until the kid is ready.. hmm.. can you tell me how long we have to wait for that?</div>

In weaning off.. seriously, to buy bottle nipple is not cheap, and I had to change it every 2-3 months because Youngster #2 loves to bite. So, I bought a straw bottle, the one that doesn't leak and have no-straw, only the spout. (pic below)</div>

Dear Earthlings,</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We went to Port Dickson last weekend. Thought of going for a day trip, but later decided to spend a night there. Since this is the first time ever we brought the maid for a trip (she has been working with us for 3 months already), we decided to stay in an apartment (with 2 or 3 rooms).</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Not familiar with PD accomodation except for Thistle and Avillion, we stopped at AnCasa, located near the public beach (less than 5 minutes driving distance). We also enquired Klana Beach Resort PD, but was fully booked.</div>

The place consist of 3 blocks altogether. Ours was on the second block (the lobby block). For two rooms, the price quoted RM400++, while three rooms RM500++ (or was it near to RM500. Can't remember).</div>

Anyways, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
on the very next morning, we took a 10 minutes drive to the Blue Lagoon, PD. According to the local, this is the best public beach they have in PD. Quite wide beach compared to the one near Klana & Ancasa beach. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

Looked around the area and enquire the price. </div>

The rate is a little higher than AnCasa, but very close to the beach. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I kid you not when I say "it is an impulsive buy".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have to admit that I do have fickle minded. However, I thankful that my fickle minded is absent on anything about my marriage (*pat on the back*) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Aaaaanywayyyss...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I went twice to the studio to pick a clutch. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The first time, I picked this one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A ready made clutch. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisK45lG0Ra879urzZeihKz1YI5QLrAgjyv57EH4zFmZk0an29DrtvjnylosUEf_CaCogPyL7h9e_atwqwxhGhoAroHBgvh17-yqHcwgXMirVRYn0OcXCw3hzus0N_2nKPpbteHD1gk0B9s/s1600/IMG_8816.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisK45lG0Ra879urzZeihKz1YI5QLrAgjyv57EH4zFmZk0an29DrtvjnylosUEf_CaCogPyL7h9e_atwqwxhGhoAroHBgvh17-yqHcwgXMirVRYn0OcXCw3hzus0N_2nKPpbteHD1gk0B9s/s400/IMG_8816.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Few hours later, I canceled my order. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ironically, I return to the studio on the following week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Picked the songket and leather color.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Paid the deposit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A week later, something got into my mind saying that I DO NOT NEED a clutch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What more with the price, it is definitely gonna be a waste of money.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Too late to cancel..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5 days later I received the package. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And the unforgettable price is, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One.Three.Five.Zero. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">RM1350-00 for a clutch made by one talented local designer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I shall cease myself from buying anything. I repeat, no more shopping for me until end of the year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I still cannot digest how the heck I fall for this one. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Other people could have this chunk of money as their monthly salary and pay off their </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">debt etc. And I? Lavishly spend for a clutch, which I think it is not right (?)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To tell you the truth, the clutch is still in its dust bag and I do not dare to open it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Too much and too expensive. I feel like I do not deserve it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Feel so guilty spending that much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
