hello 2019

Hello there 2019,

I am so happy today!!  I thought of creating a new blog because I had forgotten the sign ins and passwords of all my blogs......sigh..... I had 3 or 4 of them.

Thank you Lord Jesus.  Today I found the password and sign in for this blog.  So I will stick to this blog for now.

Anyway.... it has been many years, since my last posting in my last blog..of which I had forgotten which one!

Now that I had given up on FB and getting lazier to post in IG, I feel motivated to write and write..

I started the new year 2019 with an ambition to be a minimalist.  I had been reading articles on Pintrest and watching minimalist videos on You tube.  Yes...actually.. I am a minimalist, but not a minimalist enough.  Over the years of my life, I have accumulated stuff and had became a minor hoader.  Not too serious yet.

So, this January, I had started my minimalism journey by first attacking my kitchen. ha.ha.ha.ha.

Since I am now in my office on my lunch break, I will not be able to write a lot today.

Till next post..

Embrace the change

yezzz!!... today... we are officially no longer a 'shell family'.  We have to learn to live beyond our means.  No longer pampered with medical care from the best medical facilities in the country.  We can still do but the cost is on us.  As a result of being pampered for the past 32 years, we never bother to take health insurance as we thought that all is taken care of till we die..
How can we ever think like that? regrets..regrets..

yezz... we have to adjust to a different way of living.  No more.. "buy as you go".  No more free swimming pool. (It's not free actually.. but ya.. at my level, I would think its free :)

Well.. what else can I say?  No matter how much I ramble, I have to embrace this change in my life.  For all you know, this could be a blessing in disguise...cause God's blessing may come in the form of raindrops or tears in your eyes.

Do I have a plan yet?  No...  am still trying to adjust myself.  However, am already thinking to declutter my life first...

cheers for today

Heloo New Year

Helooo...... New Year 2016...

It's been 27 days into the new year. 

This year, life has gone into a new phase. 

Only the youngest kid is in secondary school; meaning a few more years of early morning chauffers. Hubby has lost his job.  The dough that has fed us for 32 years is not available anymore.  So... scrap off that dream of becoming a lady of leisure. Going into the next half a century old is on the horizon.  (How will it feel?)

Health issues is getting complicated.  Lots of discoveries..... Lots of maintenance to do and it is no longer fully supported.  Have to restructure our spending habits, health habits, work and play habits.
Zhumba has long been forgotten.  I can't imagine how will I start again.  And there is no shoes to zhumba with.

Yes, I have two more portmeirion items to receive.  Last order is February.  After this, its a no..no..
There are now other priorities which I cannot deny....sigh!!....

Yes, it is a new phase in my life now.  With God's strength, I will surely survive!!

cheers

 Enjoy my favourite flower

oh..what a feeling... !!!

It's less than a month to Christmas.  The Christmas tree has been put up by the kids. Half decorated as the trimmings are not enough.  I want a red and white theme this year.

Workaholic mood has somehow subside.  And to make matters worse, things are not looking great in the months to come in my workplace.  Whatever may come, I should be grateful if I still keep my job.  And like rubbing salt to the wound, hubby has lost his job too.

Thank God, as of now I no longer go crazy each time I see portmeirion items on sale.  In fact, I have already thought of trimming what I already have in my home.  So far I only used a quarter of my collection.  Such a waste of money as those things really cost a bomb each.

Am I too late if I want to start saving?  Will be half a century old next year.  No personal savings, no health insurance under my name... 'sigh'.... I can only pray that God will grant me good health in the years to come.  Yes.. I always believe in ..'you reap what you sow'....  am reaping now!

Can't help feeling empty..numb...  Sometimes I think God has ignored me.  Or maybe I failed to realize his presence or acknowledge his blessings.

"don't know what else to say"...

ronda..ronda..at putrajaya..

 

Took the chance to ronda ronda at Putrajaya on my trip on 7 September 2015.  Asai ba luar negara... Colourful buildings, unique designed street lamps and colourful road pavements.

Behind me is the country's administration centre office.  Sayang picture blurr.  It was jerebu season..lol.. 

My friend took me to IOI city mall.  The biggest there, and had the chance to shop at Dorothy Perkins..heee...

 

 yeaaa... angkut jangan tak angkut..if not now..bila lagi?

 

Thank you friend for treating me to dinner, flammable style at its Manhattan Fish Market.  Berapi ooi.. emm.. sedap..

 

That' all I can share today.  Till my next travel stories.

Ciao

One night in Putrajaya

Had a short trip to Putrajaya Jaya on 7 September.  Was pleasantly surprised when I was requested to join the team from the office of Research and Development for the Myra audit in Putrajaya, KL.

oh..well.. must be a boring place I thought, but then its good to see something different than KL all the time, was my first thought.  I was told I could stay in KL and travel to Putrajaya or stay at Pullman Lakeside Putrajaya.  I choose the latter when I think of the long distance drive and not to mention early morning rush hour.  If I stay in Putrajaya itself, I could take my sweet time prior to the audit meeting which is supposed to start at 9 am.

My flight from Miri was delayed by one hour.  My friend in Putrajaya was waiting there for me.  I told her I would arrive before evening.  oh..well, I thought I can't ronda ronda for too long then.

We arrive at Pullman Lakeside Hotel at almost 5pm.  We took a train from KLIA; KLIA Transit only took 22 minutes to arrive at Putrajaya station.

Here we are at Pullman Lakeside Putrajaya.  It looks like an ancient castle designed in Arabian style.  Very unique and nice.  I like it. :)

 I love this purple orchids.  Oh..dear..me !! lovely..lovely..

 First time  I see a real carpet in a hotel room.

Beautifully decorated rooms, unique style.

 

 

 Look at that lovely intricate design.  Must have spent a lot of time and money into every details that I see here.  It is a very detailed hotel design I have ever lived in.

 A view from my room.

 

 

 

 

The restaurant



 

 

It is a really nice place to stay.  A change from the regular hotels I used to stay in.  But frankly speaking, that nite I did not sleep well.  After I discovered that my room has a balcony, imaginations start to play in my mind...lol.. u know what I mean... as I am only on the second floor..

 

hahaha..oh.. well... setakat ini dulu.  Next story.. places I visit in Putrajaya.

 

ciao for now

Too little time.. Too much to do..

yess... that's what I'm feeling right now.  There's too much to do and too little time.  But... isn't there 24 hours of time for everybody?  So I think, my problem is too much things shoved into a little container?

Maybe, I said Yes... too often as I find it difficult to say No.. most of the time.. :(

When will I ever learn to set my priorities and let go of unnecessary clutter?  Define unnecessary clutter...

I am tired..really..really.. tired!! All the time.  Even when I am on leave, I am still tired in a different setting... sigh...!!

Soo... ya... am just releasing that frustration here.  Have not experienced 'boring' for a long.. long time already...
