A Homemaker’s Diary

I really have to find the cure to my insomnia problem..I tried to sleep since 3am last night but ended up sleeping at 7am (I think so)…huhu! So those 4 hours (or more) was spent thinking of what I want to do in the next few months, up to next year..keh keh! I even planned my baby’s akikah and cukur jambul event in my non existence sleeping time.

I think I will do it all in April since that month I will be hitting the big 3-0..hehe! Reason to be joyful for getting old plus by April I will be over my 100 days berpantang makan..the curry kambing here I come..nyum nyum!

I even thought of clearing off most of the craft items in the second room so that I can turn that into Hubby’s room while I’ll be in confinement in December. So today after a long day of sleeping till 6pm, I did some googling and found things like buaian for rental for the cukur jambul ceremony, entertainment company in Puchong that offers kumpulan marhaban, person that do service of sembelih kambing and masak. I hope by next year these people are still in business.

Perhaps it’s still too early for me to reserve the hall at Kelab Komuniti Cyberjaya and find caterer and go for food tasting…as a friend said giler advance..heh! Oh, for my birthday I want to potong pulut kuning berhias instead of birthday cake, I know a lady who did the same kind of pulut kuning for Ning Baizura’s wedding but I wouldn’t want something as elaborate as that. Just a nice, simple one which I didn’t get on my own wedding day.

Well, it’s nice to night dream while you can’t sleep..heh!

I’ve heard about SocialSpark like ages ago. I even signed up my profile and submitted most of my blogs but got rejected..huhu! Well, between all day ‘morning” sickness and trying to type coherent length of words for money in exchange, I rather succumb to my all day sleeping and puking then.

Now I am back considering why is the rejection in the first place. What bugging me is what is sponsorship opps and what is the real opps? Do we write the post first and see whether the advertiser chooses our post then we will get paid or is it just like PayPerPost where you click to reserve and then write?

I am tempted to try the opps but what to do since all my blogs were rejected earlier..huhu! Maybe I just can’t compete with bloggers like KimberlyE who owns like 9 blogs, one of them is a cooking blog..heh!

I still couldn’t find the email of rejection, but if I am not mistaken it said something about my blogs being written mainly for sponsored post..duhhh! Nevertheless check out the opps choice they have over at SocialSpark, things like dieting, parenting, losing weight, you know all kind of easy stuffs that you can ramble intelligently..huhu! I don’t care if it’s mere $5, try accumulating that in a month you will be happier at the ATM machine later.

Oh, don’t bother if your pagerank is zero, they have their own means of calculation, to see how well your blog ranks among the others. But first sign up and see whether your blog will be accepted. Should I try to negotiate with them and beg that at least one of my blogs be accepted..heh! Still contemplating..

7 weird/ random facts about me:

1. I am a hoarder, I like to buy things and keep them at home, or simply collect them if they are free but restricted to reading materials, pamplet, brochures, magazines (J-Card magazine pon mesti amik..hehe) sometimes katalog Carrefour pon simpan..pamplet kedai perabot pon tak sampai hati nak buang..

2. Every month, I spend hundreds on reading materials, the usual monthly magazines, Mingguan Wanita, wedding and bridal magazine, scrapbook and craft magazine/book, utk reference bisnes la katakan, but honestly if I were a millionaire I will buy like one whole book store..

3. I seldom go out and coming home with nothing, mesti ada jugak at least one thing that I will buy, doesn’t matter cheap or expensive but usually I will not regret buying if those things will lead to more profit generation (can be used for my business or craft classes)

4. Once I start reading, I can’t stop..if the fiction book is good I don’t mind staying up to finish it, I think I am quite a fast reader but not when it comes to academic materials..haha!

5. I put my things everywhere, but since I keep the location of the stuffs in my photographic memory, I can find them quite easily, but not when someone else is trying to find it..hehe! I think if police would like to search my house, sure dorang pon pening..

6. I like to cook, but I am not a big eater and definitely not happy when it comes to cleaning up after the cooking.

7. I don’t like to get my feet wet and dirty, like when at the beach, tak suka bila nak naik keta balik then ada pasir lekat kat kaki, mesti kena siram dgn air dulu baru masuk kaki dlm keta, or like when terpijak becak and lecak kat kampung, cepat2 nak basuh kaki..come to think of it, the same goes to my hand and fingers, kalau masak, melekit skit mesti basuh tangan, pecahkan telur nak buat kek, mesti cepat2 pegi sinki basuh..

I think I will not tag anyone..but anyone reading this who feels like sharing their weirdos and randomness in self, feel free to do so!

Tomorrow afternoon is the moment I am waiting for, for the past 18 days (feels like 18 weeks..huhu)..Hubby will be reaching KLIA around noon and he will take the ERL to Putrajaya then I will go and fetch him there. By 6am our time on Monday he will be in Taipei before another long hours to KLIA, pity Hubby.

I have done my groceries shopping, marinated the chicken and boil the stock for nasi ayam tomorrow. I don’t think I am up to eat it for lunch, today I had lunch and I have this loya feeling till night..huhu..so let Hubby eats all he wants and I will have my home made nasi ayam for dinner instead.

My life will be back to normal in no time soon, tell you, it’s hard being alone, doing all the house chores, pay the bills, find food to eat..huhu..honestly, being married is the best. You know there will be that someone who will be so kind even after long hours at work to throw the rubbish, do the laundry, clean the dishes at times you feel you don’t want to do those chores. You know by the due date all the bills will be paid, the groceries you bought will be stacked nicely on the rack and those drinks will be kept chilled in the fridge. At times we take that for granted until we are deprived of that conveniences.

I want that back in my life and I thank Hubby for those things he does, I am one grateful person, I know that now!

I was down with sore throat and fever since yesterday (in fact I didn’t feel very well since Monday) but since Hubby is not around, terpaksa la menggagahkan diri, pretending as if tak de apa2..huhu..I went to see the doctor yesterday and she said my temperature was high..huhu!

Ate bihun sup I bought at the usual restaurant, took the medicine and fell asleep while waiting to watch Bones. Woke up at 12am since SIL called. I didn’t tell her that I was down with fever when we talked on the phone earlier. So she thought I might still be up watching TV or doing my craft work. We talked for quite some time and after that I went out to buy burger.

Took another dose of medicine and went to sleep again. I thought of waking up a little bit earlier to buy lunch but once it started to rain heavily, I thought what the heck, just continue sleeping..heh!

So here I am at 8:20pm, thinking what to have for dinner. Can’t wait for Hubby to come home, nak pegi pasar malam..huhu!
