This year, the teachers are getting face sheet masks. I wanted gifts that are not only budget-friendly but also easy for my daughter to carry to school. It had a personalised note that I made using Canva. Unfortunately, my poor choice of coloured paper makes it look dull. I loop the card with a ribbon through the gap on top of the packaging.
I will do better next year.
I bought the sheets from Shopee with lots of extras for myself too! I even placed them inside the goodie bag for Mother’s Day.
First of all, I was surprised to find myself enjoying this movie very much. He was a legend during his time, and although I was very young, I was still able to sing some of his tracks by heart. Including songs by Jackson 5, despite me not being born yet.
It was admittedly what the critics would describe as a polished version of Michael. I perceived him as a genius introvert in musicality. That was how I saw him based on the movie. Not only that, but I also came to realise a few things.
The movie was just above 2 hours, and I did not even get up for a toilet break. The actor was convincing as Michael. Well, he was his nephew after all. The songs and performances in it were great too. I was tapping to the beat and mouthing the words of the songs. I hope it’ll make its way to Netflix soon. I want to watch it again.
Mr Husband brought the mother’s in his family for a buffet recently.
It was a high-tea spread at Grand Swiss-Belhotel Melaka. The promotion was good. Mothers eat free for each ‘1 paying adult’.
I loved the food options. There’s definitely something for everybody. The kids get balloons from the clown, and family members get to participate in the cake decorating competition. I loved my meal. My sister-in-law brought a birthday cake, and we celebrated my husband’s and his younger brother’s birthdays too.
I used to celebrate Mother’s Day on my side of the family. Now that mom’s passed, the celebration carries on to my husband’s side of the family. Next month is Father’s Day. We would probably have a meal with papitos, and the father’s on my side of the family. We will see how it goes.
It has been 14 days since the Sihat Itu Saya challenge started. I am in a group made up of 20 participants. On most days, I can contribute one star for the team with a minimum of 10K steps a day. Since my job is sedentary, my phone could only pick up fewer than 1K steps for the whole day. Sometimes it is as few as 500 steps. This means that I’ll need to do my own walking at home till I complete my target.
While on the walking pad, it had me thinking. Would 10K steps from physical activity be as beneficial as putting 10K on a focused brisk walking session?
Since my side quest of losing weight is ongoing, obviously, I’d want to indulge in activities that would keep my heart rate up. The plan was to ensure that I get a complete 10K on my walking pad regardless of how much I got while working. However, I realised that time is an important factor to consider. Will explain more on that later. So the plan now is just to top up my steps till 10K. The most I managed so far is up to 11K.
The top performers in my team were getting more than 20K per day. They jog, play badminton and are known to be very active physically. They are the biggest contributors to our ranks. Any steps above 10K are rewarded one star. However, it is the average step of each team that determines the ranking. Thus, getting ‘gold’ is possible, but for the top ranks, all team members need to be active. At the moment, we are still in the ranks of 130 to 150.
I wanted to get this mini purse because it seemed convenient to bring something small in my workbag. Plus, the colours were cute, and the price was affordable. As usual, I would get extra for my sister and my younger sister-in-law. I browsed through my favourite shopping platform, SHOPEE, and selected a few colours. It comes in 8 different shades, and I chose Green, Moss Grey and Black. Mine was the MOSS GREY.
The TEO small wallet is priced at RM79 per unit, and it comes in this sturdy, unique maroon coloured box. Honestly, I was amused once the parcel came through. The TEO is truly mini and is meant for ladies who carry cards ONLY at one time. I tried to make my ringgit notes fit into the purse, and it came out funny on one side.
If I had waited a little bit longer, perhaps I would have purchased the Rimo small wallet instead. The Rimo has both a long and a small wallet. As for the latter, it has cash slots as well on top of the card slots. The small wallet seems to measure slightly bigger than TEO, with a price of RM 109 per unit. Since my Teo is still at its best, I’ll just keep an eye on Rico Rinaldi’s future collections.
