Challenges

Assalamualaikum,

Dah lama sangat saya tak update apa-apa dalam blog ni. Bukan tak ada bahan nak dicatitkan, cuma masa saja yang tak mengizinkan. Dalam tempoh 2 bulan ni, pelbagai cabaran & dugaan yang saya & suami tempuhi.


Masuk bulan Mac 2012, adalah bulan ulangtahun perkahwinan kami yang pertama. Saya & suami menyambut ala kadar saja. Kami spent time bersama, dinner & movie. Macam masa dating dulu bak kata :) It was sweet & nice. Everything was perfect & fine....suddenly....


7 Mac 2012 - saya & suami bermalam dirumah mama saya sebab hujan yang teramat la lebat sehinggakan sesak teruk nak balik ke rumah kami di Kajang. Jam 3 pagi, adik saya kejutkan kami, lot parking di kondo mama banjir teruk !!! Lintang pukang saya, suami & mama bergegas ke lot parking kereta. Memang air naik paras bumbung kereta-kereta yang parking kat situ...terkedu & tergamam..kereta mama, adik & kereta kami dah ditenggelami air...kereta kami yang baru saja dibeli 3 bulan yang lalu, tenggelam juga :( Memang tak dapat nak dibayangkan kecewa, marah, kesal & macam-macam lagi perasaan yang timbul...saya sendiri tak menyangka kami diuji sebegini...Tapi apa boleh buat, kami akur dengan apa yang menimpa diri kami..selama sebulan setengah kami bertungkus lumus mendapatkan pelbagai bantuan yang ada untuk memperbaiki kereta dan mengukuhkan kewangan kami semula...


Mama selalu kata, mungkin ada hikmah disebalik kesusahan yang kami hadapi...saya & suami pun berharap begitu..memang dalam tempuh masa sebulan lebih ini, kami jadi tak keruan sikit...asyik moody & tension, memang ada effect hubungan kami sikit, tapi kami cepat sedar yang tak selamanya kami akan begini...suatu hari nanti kami merasa bahagia semula.


Mungkin juga dugaan ini nampak kecil, tapi ini yang pertama buat kami dan yang pasti bukan yang terakhir. Saya berdoa agar saya & suami diberi kekuatan dan kesabaran yang kuat untuk mengharungi alam rumahtangga ini. Semoga segala doa & amalan kami diterima & segala dosa & kesalah kami diampunkan oleh Sang Pencipta...amin :)

In my big head....

Assalamualaikum


I couldn't sleep last night....laying in bed with my husband by my side ( he was working on his office work ), I tossed and turned until I started making list after list after list of all the things I wanted and things I wanted to do...
1.   Buy new curtains
2.   Buy a sofa for living room
3.   Buy plants to liven up house
4.   Fix the vacuum cleaner
5.   Start rearrange the books in the study
6.   Learn to cook more & add new recipes
7.   No more negative thinking
8.   Break bad habit of eating ice & maggi mee
9.   Look for a new insurance plan
10. Save up for our Europe trip
11. Start a nest egg
12. Finish up my degree
13. Translation course
14. Language program
15. A better career prospect
16. Make sure that all of the above went thru smoothly
17. To get pregnant and start a family
18. To be a more dutiful wife, daughter, sister and human being to my husband, parents, sister and all man kind
19. To fulfill my duty as a good muslim to Allah S.W.T


I have no idea what was going on in my big head...all this lists starts to pour out...whether it's a life long desire to finish something or from sheer responsibility..I want to make my life better..thus making the lives of people around me better too...I've been feeling bitter these past few months...and I am in a habit of not finishing anything I've started..so, here's my mission...to complete the above list as smoothly and as sanely as I can...insyaallah



Teaching vs .....whatever

Assalamualaikum



I have actually partake in a quiz the other day. Quiz about finding your life's purpose. After taking it,  i ended up with teaching as my life purpose...which is kind of cool but left me unsure....


You see, i believe teaching to be a good profession. A noble career....nothing is more wonderful in handling a class full of students and seeing them make something out of their lives...But to be honest, I kind of dreaded the teaching profession. Not to demean it in any way, it's just I don't thing I have what it takes to be a good teacher. In my opinion, a teacher is someone worldly, someone who is more knowledgeable than anyone and someone who you can trust your future to...



As for me, I just don't make the cut. I mean I love teachers, don't get me wrong but I don't think I have the ability to transfer my smarts to others. I can't convey and explain well to make others understand me...I can understand things in my own weird way but not able to convey it to people. That is a curse. I would love to be a teacher. I can just imagine it in my head. In a classroom, relaying on History subject to my students...I just love History....A while ago, I was toying with the idea to take up a degree in Islamic History just for my passion....the thought of teaching the subject did cross my mind...but I can't even teach my sister to cook a simple dish like making sambal...let alone teach History to kids whose future depends on acing subjects...I just don't have the courage...yet...I think....bummer :(

SNSD's The Boys ( Japanese Version )...I love the Korean Version better ^___^

IKEA Small Spaces - Creating a small kitchen that can handle your bigges...




Smart idea for a small space...utilise every corner :)

Our Home

Assalamualaikum



Today's topic is more mellow...is about our home....now we are in the midst of arranging and decorating our new home in KL...it's not very big, just a medium size apartment in the outskirt of KL...which we are very proud of... ^_^


So, first things first....what we would like is to make our living room much cozier....right now it's empty...we only had a carpet...but our vision is more like this...






Not too matchy, simple & cozy...mix & match with different types of colours and textures...tak nak nampak macam satu set semua sama aje...a little bit different...so far, dah survey kat IKEA and other furniture shops in KL, Shah Alam & Puchong...kena ikut budget, don't want to blow a lot of cash just for living room...insyaallah by middle this year complete la sikit our living room ni...best !!!



Second in mind is....fabrics....




Fabrics for curtains, cushions and tablecloth....for curtains is just simple, neutral colours...off white, beige, brown...but for cushions and tablecloth, we want to go a bit funky...bright colours for cushions and pretty prints for tablecloth...maybe something like this....




Too pretty to resist....my hubby of course would prefer a much stronger colours, but seriously nothing beats a lovely and cozy place to come home to...so tak nak banyak sangat strong colours....much love for warm and cool colours....tapi takde la sampai banyak sangat colour pink kan...nanti muntah pulak my husband...pening bila balik rumah...


Then come the bedroom...of course, everyone wants a really nice bedroom to slumber...depends on taste, what we would like is again a cozy bedroom...usually cozy is another word for small, so go figure...






I just love the design and details in the above pics...nothing fancy, just straight on comfy and cozy...details like fabrics, linen, furniture that's suitable for the size of the room and wall ( be it paint or wallpaper ) will do wonders in creating a lovely room....much love for this one...there are some good choices in IKEA but we like to scout around more before buying....memang excited nak menghias rumah ni   ^ ___ ^

Dan insyaallah rezeki cahaya mata akan tiba satu hari nanti. Abang sentiasa didalam doa saya. Tak pernah lekang dari ingatan saya dan hati saya. Kebahagiaan suami itu yang saya impikan. Semoga doa-doa kami diperkenankan Allah S.W.T.

Bekerja Di Rumah

Assalamualaikum


Dah lama juga saya tak update blog ni...memang tandus sungguh. Oleh kerana internet kat rumah tak berapa nak "sihat", sebab tu yang saya jarang online sekarang ni. Anyway, tak banyak perubahan yang berlaku buat masa ni. Saya masih lagi bekerja, masih lagi belajar part time, masih lagi ulang alik dari rumah sendiri ke rumah mama...so far tu je la...Tapi yang saya nak cite hari ni is about bekerja di rumah....



Ramai benar sekarang saya tengok orang bekerja dari rumah ni...berniaga online, jual tudung & shawl, jual kek & cupcake, upah menjahit, katering dan banyak lagi....Bagi mereka yang ada skill, peluang untuk berniaga memang terbuka luas. Campak saja dimana, boleh saja hidup. Berniaga la apa sekali pun, memang laku. Tapi bagi yang masih baru dalam dunia perniagaan, yang kurang modal, yang kurang skill, tapi ada impian untuk mengubah hidup kepada yang lebih baik...peluang untuk bekerja di rumah ni nampak macam tipis sikit...bagi yang tak ada skill sangat la...macam saya ni...



Terus terang saya katakan, memang tempting untuk bekerja dari rumah ni...tak payah bersusah pergi ke office, tak payah nak tinggalkan kerja-kerja di rumah, boleh mengurus rumah dan bekerja dalam satu masa, ... pendek kata ikut suka kita la nak buat macam mana....cuma samada kita boleh mengekalkan disiplin bekerja atau tidak walaupun dari rumah, itu yang menjadi soal....saya dah hampir 11 tahun bekerja...banyak yang telah saya lihat dalam dunia office and politiknya....makin hari makin mejadi-jadi....namun saya kuatkan semangat saya, sehinggalah sampai satu tahap yang saya tak dapat nak menahan....tapi bila difikirkan balik, nak makan apa pula kalau berhenti kerja?? macam mana nak bantu suami dalam urusan kewangan rumahtangga??



Ada kawan saya yang suggest saya mulakan bisnes secara online...yang macam orang lain buat sekarang ni...tapi saya masih lagi ragu-ragu dengan kebolehan saya, apa sangat la skill yang saya ada?? Menjahit tak pandai, memasak untuk saya dan famili boleh la, buat kek lagi la tak reti, juat tudung dah ramai sangat dah orang buat....apa yang saya pandai buat sebenarnya?? apa skill yang saya ada?? Bila timbul soal ni, baru la nampak betapa tak skillnye saya ni...hehehe....memang sedih, dah berpuluh-puluh tahun hidup atas muka bumi Allah S.W.T ni, masih lagi tercari-cari apa kepandaian dan kebolehan yang saya ada....apa purpose saya sebenarnya???



Saya masih lagi tercari-cari hala tuju saya. Salah satunya ialah apa yang saya mampu lakukan untuk famili saya. Bolehkah saya memberanikan diri untuk berhenti kerja dan memulakan perniagaan di rumah?? Kalau tanya saya kenapa nak berhenti kerja?? Jawapannya, saya pergi kerja dengan jiwa yang kosong. Hati saya bukan disitu lagi. Dah lah kosong, saya banyak keluar belanja nak pergi kerja dari duduk di rumah. Dengan petrol, tol dan parking, gaji saya pun tak cukup untuk itu. Sebab tu, saya befikir unutk mencuba rezeki dengan cara yang lain pula. Salah ke?? Bodoh ke saya untuk berhenti kerja?? Mampu ke saya untuk mencuba nasib dengan cara lain??



Jawapan itu masih saya cari.....
