A Homemaker’s Diary

If there is one thing that I hate waking up early for errand it would be my growling hunger for food. And it’s worse since I have no motivation to whip anything just for the sake of my tummy alone. Unless Hubby is coming back for lunch or dinner, then only I have a valid reason to push my butt to the kitchen. Well, you can say I cook not because I want to eat, I love cooking if people that I love would love to eat the food..haha!

Now I’m starving for heavy meal. Blame this on my lady of leisure day out yesterday. I did not go to KL as per my initial plan. Instead I spend the morning sleeping. Guess the aging body could not take 2 days outing in a row, huh! Must continue my Pilates regime soon if I want to stay active and fresh.

This is the picture of Bihun Singapore I cooked last April. I have changed the recipe according to my preferences but the main idea of bihun singapore is still there. If only I could eat food pictures ( I have a lot of them in my PC for the update on my Food Blog), my starvation problems would be settled fast..haha!

I would love to have a garden patio in front of my house these days. But since the weather in Malaysia is hot and humid all year round, I don’t think it will be a wise idea for me to spend my time reading or lounging in the scorching hot sun everyday.

I wish sometimes the weather here would be breezy and windy, not like 37 degree celcius (even after 6pm). Furthermore according to a landscape designer I asked for advice last year, my current yard is facing the sun all day long and most of the plants can’t even stand the heat.

Maybe a solar umbrella like this would help shade me from the harsh sun. It certainly looks great with the cedar table and chairs. It would be a great idea if I have a Koi pond as well so that I could sit under the umbrella while watching my Koi and garden that I have laboriously grew over the year.

What a green soothing feeling, huh!

Today I decided to be a lady of leisure..(that’s what an old friend thought of me when I told her that I no longer work full time)..hehehe..I wish it’s true everyday but then again, doing nothing all day would not be good for my working brain.

I woke up early together with Hubby since I need to take the car from him. So he drove to the office and I took the car. It was still early around 10:30am like that so I went to post office to send things that I have been planning to post to my friends. They just gave birth, one to her second child and another one is a first time mom. Both are my close friends from high school.

Then I drove around Putrajaya, accidently got lost while trying to reach Alamanda. Many times I laughed at Hubby for getting lost whenever he tried to reach Alamanda for company’s lunch etc so now I guess it was my turn to get really lost around the big circle of Putrajaya. After about 20 minutes I managed to get to the Precint where Alamanda is located..huhuhu..

It was quite early for lunch so I walked into MPH, found something for Hubby, this month will be our couple anniversary. It’s almost a decade and I still can’t believe it how strong we have became together.

Went into Parkson, they were having Grand Sale, but could not find any blouse that I like so I did not buy anything for myself. I want to buy Biotherm set but the sales girl was nowhere to be seen at the counter so I decided maybe next time I could go again with Hubby.

So after a noodle lunch in TCRS, I drove to Bangi for my sinus facial treatment. After about an hour of treatment, I went into Sayang You to get new scissors for my decoupage class this weekend. All my old scissors are now blunt from cutting too much floral wires..hehe. Went up to 3rd floor to see the new kedai kain and bought myself sepasang kain for baju kurung and 2 metres Thai Silk for kurung pahang.

Drove home and stopped by at the new tailor shop at my housing area. The new tailor seems to be really nice and the charge is not as high as I expected. And she do kurung pahang as well so I guess the panduan menjahit baju I bought online would not be used after all..hehe. Came home around 4:30pm, checked email, chatted with friends while waiting for time to fetch Hubby from work.

Went out from house to the tailor shop again to give her the kain batik I want to match with the plain Thai Silk kurung pahang. She gave some fashion advice on what type of kain that could go with the kain batik and I decided kain susun belakang would do the kain batik some justice. Luckily the kain batik tone matches up with the Thai Silk I bought.

Went out for dinner with Hubby and around 9pm while waiting for CSI, I dozed off till 2am. It feels so good to sleep after a long day driving and shopping..haha! Now I’m blogging before dozing off again. I’m going to KL for some official errand early in the morning tomorrow so I can’t really stay up tonight..huhu!

If you are thinking of proposing and still looking for the perfect diamond ring for your special someone, check out this online store at WhiteFlash.com. It has almost all that a retail diamond jewelry store would have in terms of selection and designs. You could even buy loose diamonds in case you have something special in your mind to design them with. You just have to browse the website, read the articles they provide and understand what is the best for that lady in your life.

And while you are on it, this is your best chance to learn a little bit more about the A Cut Above Hearts & Arrows diamonds. You could also design your own wedding band so that she’ll glow with joy, knowing how serious you take in marrying her.

If that is not enough, read the step by step guide on buying the diamond engagement ring. You have to be aware about the 4C’s in diamond education. 4Cs here would mean carat, cut, color and clarity.

Of course if it were me, I don’t really mind all that as long as the man loves me for the rest of my life, but hey, if it could come together with the flash of a diamond, why should I turn him away, right?

It’s driving me insane with the slow pace of my Internet connection. I’m not sure whether it’s the connection or the location of the server that my blogs are hosted on. (Mind the accuracy of the technical language..I’m not a technical person by profession)

But it’s really frustrating when it takes some time for me to upload images to be inserted in my posts. I’m trying to do the max possible quota for the sponsored posts for the next 2 weeks before I start to work on my wedding crafts orders again but it’s really slow and I think I can write 3 posts while waiting for the page to save, publish and edit and whatnot.

Why do this thing happens to me? Can’t the whatever thing in the Matrix world of 010101010011 let me be happy writing and earning money….huhu! Luckily the time limit for each entry is 6 hours otherwise I could cry everytime I see how much I miss every night.

See, I don’t even have pictures to accompany this heart wrenching entry. I think I better sleep now so that I could cool off my overheated mind. Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll wake up fresh in better spirit of sponsored blogging..heheh..see ya tomorrow!
