Of contact lenses and glasses



Yup. I'm wearing lenses now, thanx to my optometrist who urged me to "try" using lenses to put a stop at my astigmatism which keep rising like a cake with an overdose of baking powder.

If you asked me which do I prefer, with hands tied down, my answer would always be, GLASSES! Easy to wear, little to no maintenance, and I have been putting these on since i was in primary school. Lenses, on the other hand, requires you to be disciplined. And neat. As a pin. There are so many things that you need to consider, do before you put it into your eyes. And putting it on ain't an easy task too. I took more than 5 minutes on my first day, and thank god the time is getting shorter by the day. Kalo tak, ada yang kena campak dalam tong sampah dengan selambanya nih. Hehe... And I forgot, its costlier too. With all the solutions and what nots... Huhu

Apa-apa pun, we shall wait for the results after putting these on for at least a year. If things are improving, then this love-hate relationship may last longer. If not, I've been eyeing this Channel glasses...

Woohoo... PVR Decoder babeh

Can't imagine me to have such a vogue body


Kecoh, I know. But then, I have always been a kehpohchi. So what? Ahaks. Anyways, we received a call from Astro last Friday, offering a PVR decoder at no charges and the RM20 extra-on-the-bill monthly fees would also be waived if we agreed to install the decoder. We were only oblige to pat installation fees of RM150, a 50% rebate from the usual charges. After giving it some thought, we decided to go for it. I guess En. Boyfriend is feeling guilty for taking off with the dvd player in the room. Haha..

So, after waiting for 5 days, the Astro boys came and had it installed. Yahoo... Now I'll be able to catch up with my tv programmes that had to make way for the children's cartoon show. We decided to record the CSI show schedules at 8.00 pm tonite and busily marking and what shows a.k.a. movies that will take up the 200 hour time allocated to each decoder. And when the time is filled, we were only required to delete the shows we have watched to make room for more. Wokey, easy as a bee. Will definitely write a review on it after giving it some try. Till then...

Feels like writing over nothing

My hands have been itching to type... yet  I have nothing in particular to kecoh-mecoh about. Feel like uploading photos taken from our latest acquisition, but the mood aint right. Maybe the time of the month is nearby, hence the mood swing. Aiyoo... May this broody feeling not last, and bubbly composure would be returned. Till then, sayonara means goodbye...

Alamak

Salam. Arini g belajar lagi, kesinambungan dari apa yang dipelajari semalam. Tapi, pelajaran arini tidak seceria semalam, Mungkin kerana semalam ada sesi praktikal, jadi pembelajaran lebih teransang, something that I should remember and put into pratice as a teacher myself. Walaubagaimanapun, masih banyak ilmu yg dipelajari. Betul kata ustazah, makin banyak yang dipelajari, makin kita sedar betapa ceteknya ilmu kita.

Salah satu perkara yang menginsafkan ialah, dugaan berada di mana-mana. Semalam dugaannya bagiku ialah "rakan-rakan sekuliah" yang tidak lagi berminat dengan apa yang Ustazah ingin sampaikan. Mungkin mereka merasakan perkara itu tidak lagi akan menyusahkan mereka ada isteri-isteri mereka yang tidak lagi mengalami sindrom bulanan yang akan mengganggu ibadah mereka kelak. Mungkin jua mereka ini lupa yang ada di antara kami ini masih lagi muda remaja (eh?), jadi kami perlu memberi perhatian kepada apa yang disampaikan. Tapi amat susah untuk memberi perhatian sebab cerita2 mereka berkenaan harta duniawi pun best jugak untuk didengari. Hehehe... Dugaan.

Dalam perjalanan pulang, En. Suami telah memandu ke Giant Nilai berhampiran dengan USIM. Rupa-rupanya ada barangan kedai yang masih belum mencukupi. Terdetik perasaan simpati di hati ini. Masih belum selesai kerjanya. Sementara menunggu En. Suami menjelaskan pembayaran di kaunter, ternampak pula Guardian sedang hangat dengan jualan diskaunnya. Harus pergi singgah... Boleh jugak menjamu mata dan menambah ekonomi Guardian tuh.

Sedang membelek2 barangan kosmetik, dengan niat untuk menambah ketebalan bedak di muka, seorang jurujual telah datang dan terus menghulurkan produk Safi Rania Gold. Katanya, produk Olay sudah tidak lagi efektif untuk kulitku (sebelum tu dia tanya pakai produk apa, aku yang jujur lagi telus jawablah Olay). Aku seharusnya berhijrah ke produk yang dapat membantu mengawal kedutan2 halus di muka dan membuat I look younger and prettier. Omakaiii.... terkezut den dongar apa yg terkeluar dr mulut comelnya tuh. Ku ingat ku dah cukup gebu dan montok untuk menutup segala kedut2 di muka nih, rerupanya... selama ni I perasaaaannnn you. 

Dan akibat kejahilanku, akhirnya...


ini pun bertukar tangan. I kan memang penjana ekonomi yang tegar .... Uwaaa...

Mak rajin nokkss...

It ain't easy for a leopard to change its spots, nor for an old dog to learn new tricks. But this coming-to-age-lady must learn to make changes if she wish to lead a better life. Huhu... as the header says, I must at least work hard on it. 

So, last nite, I turned in early (at 10.30 pm), and was able to wake up at 5.00. Earlier that nite, I had soaked the meehoon (vermicelli) and some dried chillies. Peeled the required ingredients and all that I deemed necessary in cooking fried mee hoon. Hence, I would have little to no problem in cooking a storm breakfast today.Macam nak buat kenduri jer my kecohness ni.... Hehehe

I finished up messing the kitchen and leaving the whole jumbo-mumbo for the maid to clean up (heck, that's what maids are for, rite?), it was still early. So, I watched a little tv while getting ready for work. Then, on the way to school, I realised that I should have used the time to recite the Quran. Dapat several lines pun jadiklah. Geeshh... should have used my time wisely from now on. Memang susah nak jadi baik ni sebenarnya, but I hope that Allah will help to lead me the right way throughout my life and after. 

Back to the rajin part of my life today, it does feel good to see your husband and child gobbling down the food that you had prepared. Khadijah was able to recite Al-Fatihah rather loud, compared to previous mornings where I often had to asked her to recite louder. Hmm... a motivation for me to be a diligent mum.

Anyone reading this blog may wonder what's the big deal in preparing a very simple dish as fried mee hoon and it deserves a place in my blog. The answers are simple, 1. hey, it's my blog, I can write on anything that crosses my mind. 2. for a lazy and knows-nothing-about-cooking bum like me, hebatlah tu. 3. I have no idea what to share actually. Hehehe


So, let me end by showing you my breakfast for the day. (Kurang sikit contribution to Mizan's coffer)
