forgive and forget? =)

as-salam.

i sent this to my colleagues.

yes, work colleagues..  =)

so, read this as you'd read an email k.

................................................................

as-salam,

hi,  =)

dear lovelies..

this is not a spam mail nor a scam mail =)
nor is it anything related to work, not directly though..
please just spend 50 seconds reading this.. (i timed it, okay. it was 52.35 secs.)
it might even cheer you up!

please...O_O
(if only i can do the 'Puss in Boots' sad@persuasive eyes)

and if you think you are mistakenly added to the distribution list, you are sooo wrong!

...

you know when you have those days when you feel down and gloomy
and you feel as if the world is on to you for no reason...
(thus the grey font colour)

no?

:(

then its just me..  :P

well, its not today..
today i am as cheerful as i can be, if you dont mess with me!  ha ha
plus the fact that it's a flyyyyyyyday!!!
o come on, Fri-Day? with the happy slang Fly-Day!

that melancholic @ depressing feeling came a couple of days back..
i felt so guilty... maybe because i was dissing you behind your back! hehehe
you  know.... like talking about you in a negative way..........behind you..  0_o

so here i am seeking for your forgiveness for all the bad things i've said or done,
in front of you or behind you, that i realise or dont realise,
because most of the time i love to blurt out things without thinking.
that is my specialty. (applause applause)

so, i hope you'd click reply and tell me i'm forgiven and all is well.

otherwise, i'd be dissing you more and i'd be sending you more emails..
and you'd have to relent and say, "Yes, I forgive you" without having to cross your fingers behind your back!

oh, btw, you cant block me. this is the company's email add.
MUAHAHAHAHAHA! (evil laugh)
joking joking. please dont report me k.

i'm having fun making people angry at work and i'd like to maintain it that way.

so, please be patient with me and my mood swings cause you'll see a lot more of that, like, forever!
if we maintain to be BFF's (Best Friend Forever)!!

wanna be my BFF? add me on FB!
i dont Tweet, maybe once in a blue moon, too difficult doing that at work.
PM me for my FB id ;)

no.

m not selling anything.. yet!  ;)

thanks for reading me in under 10 mins!
10/1440 minutes (24 hours)..
kacang putih!

Need Fat-Burning Tips!

Salam,

m dok cuba kurangkan berat badan m.

i have tried puasa.

i have tried and still trying to have less carbs..

i tried, on and off, exercising. by this i meant walking not jogging, not running nor swimming.

it was easier in my younger years.

i was active, mostly at night, 'dancing the night away'

it was so much easier then..

now, no dancing. period. zero activity.

so fats are like my closest friends now.

and i've got lumps to prove it!

but i shan't strut and show it to you. 

not a heavenly sight.

:p

i love walking. 

i dont mind walking a longer distance to enter a mall than having to go in circles and 

wait for a shopper to leave just to get a parking spot in front of the entrance! 

tedious!

menyusahkan diri pada awal dan menyenangkan kemudian, i know

but the wait, the prowl, the patience that i dont have!

i dont like!

walking is better! most definitely!

i dont like jogging. 

letih laaa.. 

perhaps because its not interesting. 

dancing is. 

i know. 

i should take up a dance class. 

i should take up my pole class again, i know. 

wait till i have money to buy myself a pole. hehehe

i always talk about money, coz i'm not good in budgeting

i always change topic.  

or add topic to another. 

because everything is interesting. 

dont you think so? 

rhetorical, dont answer that. please. no! dont!

but if i had a pole, would i use it daily?

or macam biasa, 

jadi hangat-hangat tahi ayam je?

its a good workout regime you know, the pole.

you use your hands and your tummy and your thighs, 

the best workout for the most difficult places. 

MY most fat-difficult places!

and i took it for a very short time only! uwaaaaaa!!

let's learn to save some money.

for my retirement years..

and to buy my pole!!!!!

chao!

Soap, with scent..

salam

i havent made any new soaps and before i say i need to make one soon....

i know, i had a post before saying the same thing.

m nak buat tapi macam tak complete je soap without a perfume.

i want a complete soap, with perfume.

with a smell that lingers on your body, at least for 2-3 minutes after your shower..

or

after you've scrubbed dry with a towel, you can still smell the scent on your skin!

i went out and searched for essential oils yesterday.. 

i found out that some are really cheap and some are very expensive. 

i assumed because the process of obtaining them is tedious/difficult/plain test-your-patience kinda process.

and also because some are the 'base' and some are just 'top' notes.

'base' notes are the ones that holds the smell together and you can smell it forever and ever!

meaning: the scent stays longer than the 'middle' or 'top' notes.

these are expensive oils!

but i can get it real cheap!!

at RM 19.90 per bottle (without discount mind you). 

so you can imagine the price with a discount. 

wow, there goes my budget! 

you tend to.. 

sorry...

I tend to buy more when it costs less.. 

same right?  you too... haha!

example: patchouli, a base note.

i can get it at RM 30 per bottle under brand A 

and brand B sells it at a hundred
or was it more?

point is, i need to know whether the RM 30 is of the same quality as the RM 100. 

how will i know?

....

....

well, i just googled.

there is a possibility that the RM 30 is not of a good quality than the RM 100. 

in this case - OBVIOUSLY!!

price does not determine quality, in some cases.

EO, i guess, is a special case. 

the price does determine quality..

sigh

well, i dont know how that particular company made the EO.

did they use fresh herbs/flowers or 

did they use old rotting dry ones?

how would i know? 

buy different brands of EO and test it on my soaps directly? 

??

well, that is the only way i could think of now.

fine.

maybe i'll just do that.

lets just hope i dont have breakouts!

chao!

Same but thicker with Almonds as a sCrUbBy!

Salam,

Feast your eyes..

sabun ni sama cam the last one but i cut it thicker.

and i mixed almonds kat dalam sabun instead of tabur kat atas.

ada serbuk kunyit, 

serbuk charcoal ke carbon. m dah confused.

ada cili kering blend, ada serbuk kayu manis.

see the colours!!

the texture for the top..

i only have 4 double bars left.
gave one to my aunty.
one to my cousin and
i was supposed to give one to an old friend.
have not had the time to do so yet.

the top texture, i used the back of a spoon. i like!

the soap is still soft.
i added a lot of water when i was melting it.
i dont like grating soap.
but you got to do what you got to do!

havent used it yet.
it is going to turn mushy in my hand even after the first use,
guaranteed.
like the sister soap.
but the almonds will feel like a scrub, hopefully =)
i like scrubby soaps!

tau. sabun ni panjang sangat kan..

nanti potong dua k.

chao

Gambar Sabun Ilang!!

Salam,

m tangkap gambar sabun harini.

sabun yang digrate tu.. 

kan m ada tangkap gambar dan upload sebelum ni. 

yang banyak kaler tu..

well, anyway, that was the first half.  

i mixed the second half of the grated soap and made the same one but instead of just tabur the almonds on top, 

m mixed it inside the soap. 

ala-ala effect scrub gitu.

as i was about to transfer the pictures over to the pc,

i found that my folder of all my handmade soaps dah ilang. 

i searched almost everywhere, at least kat dalam sume folder yang m tau but it was gone!!!

i dont remember ever deleting any of it.

i clicked search pun takde.

tapi alhamdulillah m dah upload gambar dlm blog, 

walaupun bukan semua tp adalah jugak sebagai kenang-kenangan. 

:(

Tahun Baru?

Salam,

dalam kalendar omputih memang hari ini ialah 1 januari 2012. 

dalam kalendar islam, hari ni ialah...

(secara jujur, sesapa yang nak kutuk silakan, tapi memang min tak hafal sebab dah terlalu biasa dengan kalendar omputih.)

so, i googled and today is 6 Safar, 1433H.

yes, i grew up looking at the Gregorian calendar. ketara kan?

last year (i think) and this year, i chose a calender that has the Islamic dates on them as well.

we learn. i cant memorise it yet but i feel its better, personally.

last night, i was looking a an FB status update and i read that instead of waiting for the clock to strike 12 last night, why dont we sleep early and cuba untuk bangun solat tahajud.

well, untuk yang ada anak-anak, tido lewat sikit untuk bawak anak-anak menikmati percikan bunga api apa salahnya, bukan selalu kan, setahun sekali je. 
m bernasib baik tahun ni adik m ada bersama dan kebetulan, sepupu m buat open house sambil menikmati pemandangan di waktu malam. 
jadi, m lepas tangan dan adik m bawa anak-anak m bersama plus the fact yang m nak tunggu husband m balik dari hospital sebab menemankan abah pegi checkup dan sementara menantikan dia pulang, mata m dah layu)

semua berbalik pada niat kita..

nak meng'havoc'kan "Tahun Baru" atau nak enjoy bunga api bersama keluarga dan atau-atau yang lain..

m pun cuba utk tido awal. awal-awal pun dh 11 lebih (malam) dan  terjaga bila terdengar bunyi mercun yang seakan-akan bunyi bom dan tembakan meriam. 

woke up just to say Happy New Year to hubby who was busy assembling his paintball gun and went back to sleep.

woke up (loo time) just when hubby was about to sleep, 2.40 AM. 

wow! late!

of course i slept after.

still, it was not a restful night.

i did set the alarm at 5am but i dont remember if i heard the alarm went off or maybe i did and i pressed the 'dismiss' button i am not sure. 

i do remember waking up after 5.45 am and pressed the 'dismiss' button and went back to sleep. 

woke up at 7.07am, just in time for loo time and the Subuh prayers.

sad but true.

malu m, pada Yang Maha Melihat, kerana masih lagi lalai.

dalam melakukan yang asas dan banyak lagi perkara-perkara lain yang tak m nyatakan di sini.

i need to make a (some) change(s) in my life. 

orang nak kata apa sukahatilah. 

syurga dan neraka dalam pilihan tangan masing-masing. 

kita hanya boleh mengingatkan diri sendiri dan mereka-mereka, menasihati tapi terpulang bagaimana cara dan apa pilihan kita untuk berubah ke arah yang lebih baik.

takde siapa yang boleh lari dari dosa-dosa semalam. 

Astaghfirullahalazim.

apa yang kita boleh buat sekarang adalah terus melakukan perubahan ke jalan yang diredhaiNYA dan mengharap keampunan dariNYA.

m kena cuba lagi malam ni. 

mana tau, tiba-tiba mata m celik secelik-celiknya dan boleh bangun dan melakukan solat malam.

kalau tak boleh malam ni, kita cuba lagi malam-malam yang seterusnya. InsyaAllah..

m aiming for weekends tapi kalau weekday pun terjaga, harap-harap m tak peluk bantal dan tarik selimut semula..
(percentage lebih mengarah ke pilihan ini but i hope not!! ciS!!)

m tak pernah kata m baik. 

i have to admit that i'm a nutcase, most of the time, seriously.

very very very complicated person.

m tak pernah kata m ni nak jadi ustazah.

bagaimana m nak mengajar orang sekiranya diri sendiri masih melakukan kesilapan?

m hanya berupaya menulis, berkata-kata dan berharap agar m dapat melakukan apa yang m katakan..

iye, tak dapat m nafikan, berkata-kata itu lebih mudah daripada melakukan.

Semoga Allah mempermudahkan segala urusan kita denganNYA..

InsyaAllah..

Merokok@Smoking@Naga – Tabiat Buruk yang Tak berkesudahan?

Salam,

m nya mood memang sentiasa naik turun.

Been like this since.... forever...

menopause?

i hope not, it’s too early and i have yet to conceive, again. Hahaha.

yea yea i know too much info..

you can just disregard that if you don’t mind..  =)

back to my unpredictable moodswings..

we’ve had been receiving news of relatives passing.  Only 2, but still very recent.

i don’t have to say who.. not necessary.

topik m ialah berkenaan penyakit yang dihidapi yang mungkin menjadi penyebab kematian.

one died because of lung cancer if i’m not mistaken and another of a heart failure.

lifestyle: smoking is definitely one of them..

i don’t want to specify heavy smoker or a light smoker because we know that as long as you get it (the smoke) into you, then the risk is there.

i don’t understand smokers..

they do it when they know its bad for them. Why?

tak pelik ke camtu?

i think it is. Plain weird.

First, the CONTENT of the cigarette is already supposed to make you cringe from even considering it. Yet you buy and smoke it anyway. You ignore that fact.
(i got the no smoking image online after googling a no smoking sign to paste around the office. Courtesy of KUWEIGHT 64. I added the "Dilarang Merokok" and the "No Smoking" words on it.)

Second, the printed pictures SHOW you what it can cause. Yet you buy and smoke it anyway. You ignore that fact.

Third, people DYING with many different types of illnesses caused by smoking or being a second-hand smoker (which is worse.) Yet you still buy and smoke it anyway. You ignore that fact.

do you have to be dying of an illness caused by smoking for you to realise its negative effects?

can’t you even think for yourself BEFORE that happens?

yes, tak ketara ke that m totally frustrated with this?

i mean, come on, you should realise that it’s bad with all the signs OBVIOUSly showing how bad it is.

why cant you open your eyes?

look, my dad was a smoker.

from what he told us, he started coughing one day and then just like that, he stopped.

Yup, Cold-Turkey!

sudden stop of having any nicotine, wow!

the only withdrawal symptom he had was lifting his two fingers as if he was smoking. you know, to grip the cigarette stick. and nothing else.. NICE..

the fact that he stopped immediately, now that is interesting!

see, what is important here is your WILL.

whatever you want to do, you can actually Just Do It! (No, this is not an advert for Nike.)

m repeating this old saying,

“Where there’s a Will, there’s a way!”

but where is that Will of yours?

takkan tak ada langsung keinginan untuk melakukan satu kebaikan for your own body?

talking about this..

list of my have to do's :

exercise,

just 20 minutes 3 times a week is sooooo difficult!

stop eating when my tummy is full,

m tak nak membazir that why i try to finish whatever is served on my plate, and others!! 

oops, the cat is out of the bag!!

reduce my intake of red meat and reduce my cholesterol level.

uuuuh, i loooove lamb!! maybe i can take more oats instead, and still keep lamb?

listen to the call of nature and not ignore it till the last minute,

if you know what i mean..

there should be more but i cant recall…

i have to find my will to start doing those things I’ve mentioned above and others that arent.

but what about you?

have you even thought about it?
