I am trying to do my part in saving the planet earth… i am learning to reduce the use of plastic bags by using shopping bag to the supermarket. I need to get a few of the bags, i need to keep in the car, in case i forget and in my handbag.. there are promotional bags on sale, so better grab it now.

If you going for groceries.. you might need this bag.. its bigger.

You can fold this and put in your handbag, no more plastic bags.

Last Sunday, me and my hubby just get rid of two big plastic bags full of plastics, papers, toys and it was heavy..we send it to recycle and they gave us RM1.50 from that… hahaha. .next time i just leave it there.. its worth more than that.. i feel better to leave it there than to throw it in the garbage bin and destroying the environment.

We have to act now, for the sake of our children and the new generations..save the Planet!

Beautiza

We went to bed around 9.30pm last night.. after a few minutes.. we were in the dark.. the whole area was in the dark..there were no electricity.   It was heavy rain and strong wind as well….unfortunately our emergency light/fan still unfixed since.. i cant remember when…  To get air we need to open the window… but only slight open .. we don’t want to get the rain in.. only need some air….  it was windy.. and it sound scary at times.

My children unable to sleep properly.. i had to be their  ‘manual fan’.. using a book as a fan for them… there were times i had to sit.. eyes half open..half close.. with the book in my hand.. being a fan.. making sure my children sleep comfortably.

I really had sleepless night.. i asked my husband what time.. he said 1.00am.. oh my.. few hours to go..but no sign of having the electricity back that soon… how could that be happening on sunday night.

I can’t remember if i had a sleep. .. i remember my daughter wanted to go outside… i know she was uncomfortable.. so we went.. she wanted to watched tv.. i tried to explain.. she still hesitate of watching tv..  well thanks to the barking dogs.. hahah.. i got idea.. i told her that is why the dog bark.. the could not see any lights.. the baby cry because the baby cannot see the mother’s face.. and i go on and on..from cat…and  about other things.. so funny.. but it calm her for a while..and fallen asleep.  Time checked..it was 2.00am … we went back to the room.. i wouldn’t actually remember if i had fallen asleep after that.. i remember i was sitting down looking at them..making sure the sleep well.

I woke up exactly at 5.40am.. still without electricity.. prepared everything.. and drive Sean to school then head to work… feeling sleepy.. lucky i got my 15 minutes nap during lunch time..that will do.

I really hope i will have a good night sleep tonight.. and i really need the emergency fan and light fixtures in case anything like this happened in the future.

Spring Cleaning

Continuation from my previous post.. things were not missing but misplaced.. i hate that.. wasting time and energy.

I guess it is high time to do spring clean.. moreover its 4 months before end of the year…what..? oh ya.. its 4 months to go.. wow…  I have been keeping junk here and there.. old bills.. unwanted documents, oh.. i need NJ junk removal to get rid of all these.

I am thinking on when should i do this.. i want to have my maid of course but without my children.. mmm have to think who can baby sit them for a day… it would be easier without children at home.  I don’t want them to get dust.. and need to concentrate on cleaning anyway.

Spring cleaning once a year.. not only the house.. but also getting rid of unwanted clothes.. mmm.. i’m thinking of the right time of spring cleaning… hopefully cleaning the house.. will get good feng shui..hehe.

Home Improvement

I remember once i can’t decide whether to buy oven or microwave.. well.. i just that in my thought for a while.. now i am thinking of buying a steamer…lol.

Haiya so many things i need now.. but the most important thing is to paint my kid’s room..its is now have interesting colour.. green and yellow and with addition of my kid’s sketch, showing their creativity.. i mean its okay..but too much..and it looks dirty… mmm thinking what colour suit their room.  My Handy Manny will find his time to do the painting…hehe.. for sure.

Need to re-decorate my room, update my wardrobe.. get rid of that unwanted clothes, need to buy another cabinet for my books/files.., new cushion covers.. haiya..so many oh.

Oh ya.. apart from all the above what i really need is the home alarm systems … that is the important thing i need now.. in case.. touch wood!  after a few incident last year that happened at my neighbor in the ground floor and another at the other block.. i guess need to start do my survey.

Home Sweet Home

Have you realized that whatever house you stay in.. wooden house, bungalow, small house, big house,apartment, terrace..  a house is a home.. a place you stay in with your family.

I am thinking of decorating my apartment.. what i need to do … i got my list ready….

paint my kids’ room… or i might draw something to make it look exciting and bright…

i need to buy a sofa set.. i can feel the sitting on a wood instead of comfy cushion…lol…… i want to cosy up my living room…

i need to get rid of the clusters…especially in my study room… haiya…the only time i have are weekends..

but apart of upgrading my home sweet home ..i am thinking to install fire alarm for security reason.

That will be in my ‘must do’ list this year… will do that probably after my trip to KL.. will post about my home sweet home…once i done with it… wish me luck!!

    I try to stop complaining about my daily life.. hahaha.. and accept whatever comes.. i mean rather then complaining.. better take action and get solution…

    Waking up every morning.. to boil water.. i should buy Bosch tankless water heater
    too many clothes to wash and not enough space... i need more hangers…
    i hate it when i have to wait for the meat from the freezer to chill…. time is concern here.. children are starving..  i need microwave..

    Well.. basically i know where my problems are.. i need to do my budget.. hopefully can get these important thing.. soon.

    This happened long time ago when i still don’t have my maid. I came back one day, feeling tired with two kids to handle, as usual, once i reached home, my first destination will be in the kitchen. I always left my kitchen door closed because i don’t want my living room fill with smell from neighbour’s kitchen. Still wearing my working dress, i get some things to cook from the refrigerator and rushed to the kitchen but ..oh my.. the door was lock..oh dear!

    I tried all the spare keys we kept but not even one of it fit.. oh ya..i even try card and pushed it hard.. the old trick but still… cant open the kitchen door. At that time, my daughter wanted her bottle milk… ‘mummy i want my nenen’.. she have the bottle outside but the powder milk was in the kitchen… lucky she just keep quite when i gave her water. Can’t really do anything, can’t let my children starved .. i fed them biscuits and bread.. and at 7.30 we fetch my hubby in KK.. and took our dinner.

    So.. since we cant really find the spare keys.. my hubby decided to…. taaraaa!!!

    Broke it….make a hole…. I can see my kitchen faucets from the hole… for your info, we have replaced our door knob.. lucky my hubby can do almost everything..without spending money on Handy Manny!
