A Homemaker’s Diary

I have some crazy ideas..(or actually Hubby has the thought first). Blame this on the latest entry on Singapore Beef Steak Kuah on my cooking and food blog…huhu! Now both of us are craving for that bright red dish..and somehow since Hubby will be in between job from 3rd April till 13th April (before he starts at the previous-now-new company) and my birthday falls somewhere among that date, we thought of going to Singapore again to splurge on the Singaporean food.

Now, should I take the bus straight to Singapore from KL or take bus to JB and hop on the free Singapore Tourism Board bus into Singapore in the morning? I prefer flight even though Air Asia is not so comfy, but to spend RM500++ for tickets would be unwise. Maybe we should drive to JB, park the car at the hotel and take the bus into Singapore. After all the cheapest (but decent) hotel in Singapore would be around RM160++ per night which is around the same rate for hotel in JB.

I still have to think through about this. After all my niece already booked me on the 6th April for her wedding shopping and I have promised a friend to complete 10 sets of mini corsages to be collected on the 5th. So I conclude that the beef steak celebration could only be done after the 7th…come to think of it again, 5 hours or more of land journey..that’s tiring!

I can’t find the mood to update my blog, it’s not that I have so much in hands at the moment till I don’t have free time to write, it’s just that I don’t have the motivation. Maybe because there is very little opportunity to write for paid post, you see for me money is always the biggest motivation to do anything. But when there is no strong reason for me to write, I just don’t do it here and now, put it aside and forget about the task..heh!

My weekend went as usual with classes, this time both for bunga dip. Easier for me to clean up and set up the seats for both days. One of my students came all the way from Kuala Terengganu. Hopefully later when she goes home she would be able to conduct her own class so that more women in the East Coast would benefit from the craft.

On Sunday we planned to go out and watch movie (Hubby has made reservation online) but in the end I decided to stay home and went to Jusco instead. I bought Body Shop hair shampoo and conditioner as my dandruff problem is getting worse. Stress could be another factor that triggers the scalp problem, but how stressful could my life be at the moment? For someone who gets to sleep more than 10 hours 5 days a week, can choose to do nothing all day, I shouldn’t feel stressed..heh!

Maybe another vacation could cure my dandruff problem..ceh!

It has been raining almost all week on daily basis..which makes me very gloomy and less motivated to do anything…ceh..alasan..hehe. But seriously the rainy day really dampen my mood to do anything, not even to lie back and read all the story books..(I know if I lie down on the sofa and read book, I might end of sleeping the whole day..huhu) If not for the classes on weekend (which prompt me to clean up the living hall here and there, prepare the kit for students and all) I might not be doing anything productive at all.

This is what Malay proverb says, ikutkan hati mati, ikutkan rasa binasa..If I go on with my lazy mood and gloomy feeling, I might end up being a worthless homemaker..it’s still raining outside (and I am still feeling very lazy to move my ass and do anything) but looking from one positive aspect, at least I don’t have to water the plants.

I still have to go on with my life, on hot or rainy day..heh!

Anyone wonder what’s up with me last week? I was supposed to meet the upline for the unit trust on Tuesday to pay for the exam fee, sign up for the class and all, and we did settle all that. Thanks to my upline who drove me to the bank and to the Bangsar office. I even attended the ad hoc tutorial on the day itself even though I haven’t attended the actual class. It helped a lot actually to know what kind of questions will come out in the exam..(at least I know what to focus in my reading later)

I think if I can pass all the Engineering Maths papers during my degree year it should not be a problem to score the calculation questions (after all there are only 6-12 qs within that 60), provided I memorize the formula..heh! So early morning on Wednesday I went to Bangsar again to attend the CUTE class. I took the 8 am ERL and LRT, participating in the rat race of all the execs in KL office..hehe! What a tiring day indeed..huhu..I am so grateful that I don’t have to do that everyday.

It has been ages since I last attended a formal lecture and to tell you, it was such a bore…huhu..to actually sit tight and listen. Can’t think how I could survive more lectures like that if I were to do my MBA later. I still have about one month to read all the notes, which I must to make sure I pass the exam.

In the meantime, I have to list down things to buy for bunga telur making for May event. I will be going out to KL on Tuesday. This time I have to look for all things turquoise. I decided to accept one client for May and that’s all I will take. The rest I will focus on Hubby’s niece’s wedding in August – from hantaran to bunga pahar, from guest favors to jahit manik on the baju pengantin..as Hubby said what will SIL do without me..ceh!
