Waiting …

Posted in Everyday Life, Good Things by

This mode is called stingy. Or kedekut we call it in Malay. If I put it nicely it’s more like delayed gratification. I have yet to spend a dime for my 2016 planner. Still waiting for the official ministry planner to be handed out by the boss. Skali tak dapat.. ha ha ha.. I want to see how ugly functional it is before I decide on getting my own planner. I mean I loved my previous one, I don’t understand why they should gather bad taste in a year.

In the meantime, I’ll just doodle the remaining pages of my 2015 with resolutions. And wait for my parcel from Paperdorable. I just bought one of its Blind Faith Silver Bundle packages. Can’t wait to see what is inside.

Often the advice is to limit your goals and to be precise. Make an outline. A deadline. You’re not doing a grocery list ‘experts say’. I don’t see any right or wrong way of doing it. You want to kick off a new habit everyday? Go ahead – call it ‘a new habit everyday resolution’. You want to produce an album in a year? Go ahead – sing your song.

I have not made weight loss a priority in 2016. Who knows I might unintentionally lose some when I don’t think too much about it. I wish..pffft. Plus – I have quite a lot on my little plate for next year. Things relating to personal growth, family ties, money, writing and feelings.

They say successful people wear the same outfit everyday. I think I shall start with that. It’s going to be Wednesday everyday people.

With a tinge of colour for the headscarf. HIhihihi..

Parcel ‘kasih sayang’ for the girls …

Posted in Everyday Life, Good Things, Mini Project by

The December/New Year edition of my personalised parcel ‘kasih sayang’.

EE sends his love to all his aunties..

.. because in the midst of being a wife and a mother, we sometimes forget that we are women of our own. We have our own ambitions, desires and needs. That sometimes you just need your girl-friends to tell you to hold on, or go for it, or hey.. whatever it is, I will always be here for you and your kids should they need me when you’re not around …

This activity of sending parcels to my girl-friends have been around since I was in medical school. I don’t do it that often – just at times if say, I saw a beautiful scarf or book and cookies. It’s my way of sharing my joy or the recent happenings in my life.

Of course, everytime I go to the post office the people at the counter would question me about Poslaju and what’s in the package – they keep thinking that I have an online business.  For God’s sake, I just want to send this beautiful package to my good friends. Have you guys forgotten how nice it is to receive goodies from a friend?

In my recent pack I have given them a shawl, a pair of hand socks from Kulsocs, some lollipops, a du’a card, an organ donation information card (lol), bookmark, my syok sendiri blog card and of course lots of invisible love and kisses floating in the envelope.

Now that I know the minimum postage to send a parcel via snail mail is MYR 4.00 I am considering making a New Year Surprise Package at say a flat price of RM15? Ha ha.. I wonder if anybody would be interested – especially from the local planner addicts society. Hmmm.. just let me sit on the idea for a minute.
