It is one month left for us (hubby & me) to prepare for our long vacation to UK. I just got to contact a few people who live at the place we are going to. Hopefully i will get loads of help from these people.
There is one blog that i visited which is belonged to a housewife. She mentioned to bring along some of malaysian tradition spices or ingredients to make kueh since it is very hard to find over there. Then, it triggered me. Oh, there must be loads of thing that I need to list out to bring along.OMG!
First and foremost, I need to secure a home to live over there. I really hope I got a place that is near to Malaysian community so I still feel at home at least seeing Malaysian people over there. This is the first time I'm going to live outside of Malaysia for quite a long time and can't imagine how would it be. Hopefully evrything goes smoothly.
Second, I need to list out spices to bring along that can cater for a year. OMG! i don't have experience buying things for stocks!I'll try to find free time and think of the brg dapur that I need to bring over. I might have to cook everyday since I don't used to eat bread and cheese everyday and drink coffee and tea everyday.Oh...I must bring my MILO!..Heheh..but 1 kg MILO retains only for 1 months..OH..OH..OH...I need to be very jimat cermat!
Thirdly, preparation for raya...OH, BAJU RAYA! I think we have to buy ready mades' as if we want to tailor, i don't think we have sufficient time.I'll talk over to my hubby about this.What theme for this year and the coming year, i guess, we just recycle it.Hehehe..
Fourth, books to bring over.Do i need to bring my old books for reference? Hmm..Those books are very heavyweight. But I'm used to have all my books with me while studying.Xsuka pinjam2 nih!
Fifth, my closets. Oh, this, I will limit to the end of limit. I dont plan to bring all my closet there. Only important ones! Same goes to my hubby's and son's. Mom's rule OK!
Wahh....5 things already..not to include other small things which is same important...my house..i better make an advert for rental here (if there is anybody interested!..hahaha)
Most important is MONEY! How much money do we have to bring?

Cold and Flu
Last friday, my dear son was caught with a very bad flu. Pity him, the mucus always running out of his nose. The next day, his mucus had become thicker and greenish...oh..oh..and luckily, it keeps running out of his nose. He had cough too but he did not know how to spit. I tried to teach him but he just couldn't get it. Poor boy. Despite of that, he was actively cheerful, he danced and tickled us until he went to sleep.
Then, on Sunday, my husband was infected too. Poor him as he just could not suffer from sickness. Then I told him to take medicine, the he answered how my son didn't have to. I replied, he is on breastmilk, I strongly believe my son's flu will cure by itself within few days. All the mucus has come out and he ate fresh oranges everyday for the Vitamin C supply. Then, I offered him my breastmilk if he too wants to be as good as my son....hehehe...
And today, I got flu myself. Actually I usually caught with flu in the morning. I'm allergic to dust and fur. Those thing will automatically trigger my senses and blocked my nose. I daresay that, I'm quite used to flu and amazingly during my breastfeeding tenure, very seldom that I got sick, Alhamdulillah...I believe my courage and determination to breastfeed my son has strengthen my immune system undoubtedly.
So, my friend whoever read my post, the wives and moms, please breastfeed your children (below 2 years old) as it benefits both. Put away all the misconceptions and old thinking as we are nurturing a new way of breeding our generation.

Alhamdulillah Syukur
Last 22nd July, I received a phone call from Scotland for university entry interview. How suprised I was when the course director who interviewed me said that I got the offer. I was really excited but at the same time I'm worried since I did not prepare on anything yet as I thought that chances to get a place in that university was very little. I straight told my hubby and I was so very happy as I never had a dream comes true. But, I always bear in mind, this will not become a reality until i reached the place.
My hubby also got the offer and we both so stunned and started planning of things to get done before we reached there. I 've already asked permission from my bosses to release for this further studies but however, my position will not be retained as I will be changing my skill groups. And this, I need to ask the HR personnel which is very hard to catch on where i'll be posted after returning.
Last Saturday, we did our medical check up and we have to gove our precious blood for blood test. Asking about the cost, wahh...so expensive but we agree since we still can get the result very soon as compare if we did at the medical centre near to our office. We both were really tired on that day, and my son was caught with bad cold (pity him). So all my plan for that day was blown up! Only went for a quick shopping and returned home and we slept altogether that afternoon.
And on Sunday, my hubby wasn't feeling very well and my son's bad cold was'nt relieved yet. We just stay at home and unfortunately, the power was out for a while and during that time my hubby was in the lift going up to our dear home. Luckily, he can think fast and jump out of the lift after waiting a while for the response team to arrive. This is quite frustrating as we paid quite an amount for the security deposit but still unsecured. I blamed the management of course as for me they don't know how to well managed the condo and the facilities and not disturbing the owners. They are really phathetic!Imagine the swimming pool was very dirty and they don't even service it for owner's usage. The carpark was full of cement dust which make my son having flu and cold quite often. Me myself always had an irritation around my nose and eyes because everyday I passed through the lift at the carpack and the cements was dump there unattended! What kind of management?? We pay quite an amount for it to live in a clean and healthy environment! I wish, the management will be changed soon or improved at least as evrybody including the security, home owners, main contractors personnel and panel contractors were tired dealing with the management office.

Make it ALIVE
Life has been so bored for the past years and today I've decided to make it ALIVE adn CHEERFUL! I envied my friends who could spent their times writing blogs and do crafts as their hobbies. Me? No hobby at all. Let me find ways to color my life so I 'll never feel bored again after this.
First thing first, I just moved in to my new condo and there, I wanted to polish my creativity skills that are buried so long ago. My first project is to clear up the boxes (so many of them...huh!). I guess this would take sometimes to complete. I would divide it into 3 phases of implementation (sound like project engineer huh??)
1st Phase:
Kitchen stuff - 2 weeks
2nd Phase:
Garments - 2 weeks
3rd Phase:
Other stuff - 2 weeks
All 3 phases works in parallel (multitasking is applied here)
Then, within these 2 weeks, I'll launch another project - HOME DECOR!
