I got this brooch few weeks ago pat kedai Aries. But only wore it for the 1st time today coz it matched the beige kaler baju that i'm wearing. Wat tickled me the most was hubby's comments...at first when he glanced at my shoulder, he said "wah lawa bunga"....then later on he went something like *in ala maknenek tone*.. "bunga tu jgn nak pi cari kumbang pulak". kakakakah. kesian bunga tak bersalah ni..*sambil pat2 bunga pat bahu ni*

Another nice article to share...
FORGIVING PEOPLE
Where do we get the idea that if WE don't forgive people,
THEY suffer?
It's nuts!
Let's say:
a) You are my boss and you give me the sack, or
b) You are my girl and you run off with my best friend.
So I say, "I'll NEVER forgive you!"
Who suffers?
NOT YOU!
I get the knot in my stomach.
I lose the sleep.
You are probably out partying!
While I resent you, I SUFFER!
Meanwhile I tell myself, "I'm right!"
But being "RIGHT" doesn't guarantee happiness.
Here's the point ...
To forgive someone, you don't have to AGREE with what they did.
You just have to want your life to work.
You don't forgive people for THEIR benefit.
You do it for YOUR benefit.
So this is your mission for the next 24 hours:
Think of someone that has hurt you.
Just today, practise letting go of all resentment toward
them.
Gather all your ANGRY thoughts -
those "I am right and they are wrong" thoughts,
and let them go.
You may like to use your creative imagination ...
.. put all that resentment into an imaginary balloon,
and let it float away.
Throughout the day, repeat the process.
You will feel better.
Forgiving people may be tough, but is possible.
You forgive people for YOUR benefit.
It makes YOU happier.

Enuff of skiving...time to get back to work for now

Take a look at the HAPPIEST people you know
and you will notice something.
They haven't had the EASIEST lives!
Happy people have usually suffered and struggled MORE than most.
But in the process, they have learned to look for GOOD THINGS in life.
And have you noticed this ...
When we look for good things in situations - or people - we FIND them.
When we look for bad things, we FIND them.
So it's not changing your situation that makes you happier.
It's changing your THINKING!
If you go looking for faults in your job or your mother or
your wife, you will find plenty.
Some people spend their life looking for faults -
and then they tell you, "I'm just being REALISTIC!"
It is not realistic!
It is NEGATIVE!
Happy people continually ask themselves,
"What is good about this situation?"
EXAMPLE:
You are stuck in traffic. You ask yourself, "What's GOOD about it?"
* You have time to listen to your favourite CD's.
* You can plan your day.
* It's better than walking!
EXAMPLE:
You are short of money. You ask, "What's GOOD about having no cash?"
* You learn to appreciate things that money can't buy.
* You become more determined to succeed.
* You find out who your friends are!
You might say, "That's nuts! It's kidding myself."
Not so!
Looking for good things is a key to happiness.
So your mission for the next 24 hours?
In every situation, look for GOOD THINGS.
It may be hard at first, but it becomes automatic.
As "looking for positives" becomes a habit,
you will become happier and happier.

Stress is a normal part of one’s life. However, if not remedied or managed, stress can lead to serious health problems. Some symptoms of stress include fatigue, exhaustion, depression, burnout and breakdown. Follow these steps to live insha'Allah a stress-free life.
1. Have a Strong Iman.
It is important to understand and believe that everything is from Allah, and that everything occurs for a reason. A Muslim is one who accepts everything that happens to them as good. If something good happens to her, she says Alhamdulillah. If something bad happens to her, she says Alhamdulillah.
2. Exercise
Exercising regularly (2-3 times a week), and building up a sweat is an excellent and healthy way of relieving stress. It is also recommended for Muslims in general to be in the best of shape, for preparations of hardships, tribulations, or Jihad.
3. Eat Healthy
Avoiding the potato chips and cookies, and eating healthy meals not only makes one feel better, but makes one look better too. Junk foods can cause an overall sluggish and lazy person. Meanwhile, those who consume healthy meals feel more energized and productive.
4. Understand the Reality of this World
When afflicted with distress, remember that this life is only like a drop of water on the finger as opposed to the vast ocean of water of the hereafter. The tests and trials of this small world are tests of our patience and faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala). Jannah is our goal, so let’s work hard to achieve that rewarding goal.
5. Take Time Out
When on the verge of burnout, breakdown, or depression, take a step back and relax for a while. Sometimes it is helpful to relieve oneself from a few responsibilities while temporarily taking some extra time to strengthen one’s relationship with Allah, and reorganizing one’s time. However, although this may be beneficial on occasion, it is not good to make a habit of taking too many breaks. It is difficult to come back to a responsibility after being on a ‘mental vacation’. Also, we must be careful that we are not using taking time out as an excuse to avoid a problem or a way to run away from it. We should still come back to the task at hand, not just give up.
6. Be Positive!
Verily with every hardship there is Relief. Remember that this is a temporary phase, and it will end in time, bi'ithnillah (with the permission of Allah). The bitterness of today will end, and insha'Allah tomorrow will definately be better. Have hope in Allah Ta'ala, and be positive.
If you begin to have negative, stress building thoughts, such as; "I'll never get this project in on time.", then turn it around, break it down, to begin to think more postively, such as; "If I stay focused and take it one step at a time, I'll make steady progress."
Ibn Abbas (radiAllahu anhu) reported that; I was (once) behind the Prophet when he said to me:
'O son! I shall inform of a few things: Remember Allah, and He will protect you. Remember Allah, and you will find Him close to you. When you have to ask for something, ask of Allah Most High. When you require aid, seek His Aid. Believe firmly that if all the creation desires to benefit you in anything, they can never benefit you, but, that which Allah has decreed for you. If they all unite to harm you, they will not be able to harm you in anything, but that which Allah has decreed for you'

Anyways, husband and me went to the pasar malam at cck yesterday. Both of us have a soft spot for pasar malams :p. Altho i'm beginning to feel a bit tired of pasar malams now, but i still love the cheap and nice bedsheets and those cute and comfy baju tido and batik dresses. Not forgetting the joyrides too. But we had to control our purse a little now. Thus no major indulgences yesterday..hehe..got ourselves vcd criter senario and some foodstuff and off we go.
We have a staff trip coming up next mth. 1 day trip to Desaru. Hubby is unable to go on leave during that period, however he has given me the 'green light' to go (only because its a 1 day trip). Kalau ada overnite2 then he said no way..kakakakah. So i'm quite excited thinking abt it coz i've never been to Desaru before. hope it will be fun. The last time i went for overseas staff trip was way back in March 2001 to Malacca. But the most memorable staff trip had to be the Bangkok trip 6yrs back!!! *starts reminiscing* Some newer and younger staff *feeling kakak2* had been asking me how i managed to work here for 10 yrs (yup its gonna be my 10th yr tis Sept), to which i dun have the answer...kakakah..i guess the time just flew by like that and before i knew it, its gonna be 10yrs already... I remembered when i first started work, i was the youngest staff in my workplace. now there are many more younger staff than me...so the moral of the story is, i'm not that young anymore :p altho there are days when i do feel young, and not forgetting those days when i feel n look like makcik2..sheesh. hmm..eh i've digressed from the topic already :p

She is one very alert kitty..tengok tu, something caught her sharp eye again...
usually when this happens, she will not layan or look at me if i call out her name already as seen in this picture...ehehehe...but otherwise, it just melts me heart when she comes running towards me when i called out to her (walaupon baru bis makan kenyang)...unless if she's up to some mischief ...or feeling lazy, then she'll just look at me from a distance and kebil2kan her olive green eyes in acknowledgement when her name is called...
and this is pakcik chapee sedang bersantai ditepi pintu...ini kira ok...at times he would squeeze himself thru the gate and sit outside at the corridor but facing inwards into the house and watch kita org pat dalam rumah pulak...lol.
and this is them...the Pestbusters in action, this time its a baby lizard they just busted..

Pirst of all, here is the overdue handbag pic tag...ni lah some of the many junks that can be found in my bag : panadol extra, books, glasses (tapi jarang pakai unless terpaksa coz i feel pening with it on after a while), make up pouch, working pass, keys, wallet, tissue, sweets, outdated receipts, bateri pon ada terselit, etc etc..hmm..perhaps its time for spring cleaning of the handbag soon.
================
Mom's colonoscopy on friday went smoothly. Alhamdulilah. Results will be out in abt 3 weeks.
Btw did anyone watch the show Dilema Wanita on Malaysia's TV1 every Monday nite? We stumbled upon the show by chance 2 weeks back and have since been looking foward to watching it. Especially at the end of each show, Dr Fadzilah Kamsah will give a short review of the show and pelajaran/ikhtibar yg boleh diambil from that episode *thumbs up*
I feel like i owe an apology to this mini-furball coz he/she has been with us for abt 7mths now but i forgot to blog abt our Mr (let's just presume he's a male je lah eh) Hamster !!! isk isk isk. Soyee Mr Hamster, but i know u will pardon me coz i just bought u ur favourite pack of nutritious bijirin semalam. without further ado, here's presenting Mr Hamster.
How he ended up with us was quite unexpected though. 7mths ago hubby went to the then newly opened small pet shop near our place to buy cat food. but he came back home with more than just cat food, yup with this little cutie in tow. and the best part is, dah beli but he's afraid of handling the hamster...coz it BITES!! Dun underestimate a tiny hamster tau coz its bite/nibble is much more painful compared to a kitty's playful bite/scratch. i was initially a little afraid jugak but eventually able to place the hamster on my lap/palm of my hand and stroke its tiny head, something which hubby stopped doing after kena gigit badly a few times..kekekeke...tapi memanglah gigitan encik hamster ni mmg bisa menusuk kalbu. seems like he bites when he's feeling hyperactive, so have to sumbat his mouth with kuaci so that he can nibble on the kuaci instead of my palm or baju instead when he's in hyper/grouchy mode. otherwise i'd put a cloth or something on my palm before letting it roam on my hand..hehehe..
As for the furballs, Sweetie looks on amusingly sometimes when the hamster starts running on the wheels, and as for Chappee, he just can't be bothered at all :P He's more amused with trying to stop water from flowing out of the washing machine hose with his little paw..lol. Or seeing the shower head sprouting warm water, tu mmg feberet dia so if i forgot to lock the bathroom door when i take my shower, alih2 nanti dia dah tercegat in the bathroom waiting for me to spray some warm water on him then he starts turning round and round trying to "catch" the water. kakakah! Maap yach ibu2 sekelian if i always blog abt the kitties, can't help it lah.
