On making full use of what you have... and being thankful, too. A shot of my loofah plant taken using my Samsung Galaxy A02S handphone. Gotta state the handphone model because I felt guilty. All these while, ever since I purchase it, I always look down on it. Pandang enteng...  Because...There was this one time... I decided to get a haircut together with Sofia. A mother-daughter, girly girl trip... Just the two of us, before I gave birth. Took some shots... Back home... Ta-da... Now you know why I don't trust this phone. My previous phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 9... And before that, I used Note 3. Memangla so sharp the pictures... The Note 9's touch screen suddenly stopped working earlier this year, sometime around Chinese New Year. I remembered because I went to IOI to buy a new one and we got a CNY gift. To get the LCD screen repaired would cost at least RM 1k. A freaking  ONE THOUSAND RINGGIT ... at least... Ugh. So I thought, I'll just get a new one. So I did. But I set...

My morning routine these days would be going around the garden to check on my loofah plants... Usually while carrying baby Alisa. See if there's any flower buds, and if there is, is it a male or female flower... Yes, to that extent. Alhamdulillah, I've learnt quite a lot on loofahs now. I joined a loofah planting group on Facebook, which helped a lot. I'm still out of the pool now. Swimming is already allowed for us peeps in Phase 1 but the place I teach at still didn't want to open the pool. Okay now back to loofahs.. I've gathered quite a lot, really. During these lockdown times... My husband then gave me a nickname... Loofah lady. Sofia then added... Sofia loofah girl. Alisa loofah baby. Papa? Papa loofah handsome. By the way, I've opened a shop in Shopee, selling seeds. Do check it out - garden cantik .

Morning of the year 2021. Bye Wawasan 2020. The year 2020 was really, like no other year I've ever lived. The year of Covid-19. The New Normal year. I just checked how many things I got done in 2020 as compared to the year 2019... 2019: 24/67 2020: 37/101 When calculated into percentages, the year 2020 is still higher than 2019 by 1%. So I guess the size of the list doesn't really affect the rate of success in completing the list #dataislife That said, I'm still going to make a list of 101 Things To Do this year. I haven't started yet, but I've had some things in mind. Recapping 2020...  Well, 2020 is the year where I became so much fairer. Ahaha. I nearly got back the skin tone I had 12 years ago. I had quite a long break from chlorine, which helps my skin a lot. I cook more. I learned about business more. I reconnected with friends from the good ol days. I made more friends from the swimming industry. I finally registered a rehab company of my own. I gave/ donated...

is wearing face masks when you go out.  Quick trip to Eco Shop lining up to get inside premises. If you notice, I actually lined up 2 meters apart. Iz said I really looked like an mco newbie... Coz I stood too far away. When we actually live in the same house, came from the same place... Pasar Borong Selangor limited customers per entry. This is at Pasar Borong Selangor. Felt quite anxious of losing it... It was also my first time going out since mco. scan QR Code or write your name everytime before entering premises. No need to screenshot but I did... As a keepsake on this moment. Kedai budget

Hello RMCO DAY 03! Writing it like this made it look like ooh... we're just in day 3, not that long la we've been undergoing this thingy. But in reality, it is already 85 DAYS since we had to #stayhome #staysafe #kitajagakita #kitamestimenang But DAY 03 also meant lesser roadblocks, police officers and armies got a bit of relief... I even read a friend of mine is happy her police husband is finally coming home. Husband and wife united, living under one roof after being separated due to the no state crossing rule previously... A friend stayed alone with her baby for months since her husband couldn't cross state to come to her... A friend couldn't come home for months, working as a doctor in another state... Seriously, who knew traveling interstate would one day be an offence? Like you'd get fined for doing so. Balik kampung also an offence. Now I came to think of it, previous years commercial ads kept promoting to 'balik kampung' like no matter how important ...

So today is the first day of Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO)... 10th June 2020 to 31st August 2020. Came to think of it, almost 80% of the year 2020 we #stayathome #staysafe #kitamestimenang . It's actually DAY 83 today. We started with MCO, CMCO, and now RMCO... It has been a long journey, yes. Some changes in this phase are we are allowed to travel to other states (in Malaysia only), hotels will be opened, some sports are allowed, you can go cut your hair at a salon... BUT SWIMMING IS STILL A NO-NO. They simply put.... "Aktiviti dalam kolam renang" And that, made us swimming instructors outraged, just to exaggerate . But really, we are! The reason is because of 'Mass Gathering'. Like what....... Pfft. OKAY. I wasn't satisfied too so I made a post on Facebook stating my opinion. And I'm writing about it more here... Obviously I am not settled yet aha... Of course la MASS GATHERING . Because you think of the swimming pool as a place to main-main air...
