Minimalist wannabe

down

2012-01-24T18:15:00.000+08:00

today I feel so down.I watched some tv and my mood went spiralling down. angry and sad.

I go bout my rounds of this once a month but now its getting worse.I am not seeking attention or what ,just needed to vent.

I guess trip to the drs will make me calm a bit. must ask the dr what is this I am feeling. is it just normal pmt or am hitting menapouse?

Tears come rolling down wthout me realising it.

Anxious.. angry,sad. I do not like this feeling.

Apart from waiting for my dr's appointment, I do berzikir to calm me down.

I pray that I will feel better soon and nothing serious.

an accomplishment

growing up, I love rice too much. even when I was 10 years old I started eating sambal belacan. Suka sangat makan dengan nasi.. untill 2011 last day, I eat rice twice a day but since 1st jan 2012 I cut down my rice consume to once a day.. Its day 14 and going strong.

Just pushing myself really .with everyday workout, I hope I can hed some kilos away.

Makin tua ni makin susah nk kurus so I will try hard to change my eating habits.Nak ikut sangat recipe biggest loser, my tekak cannot. still nk cari nasi

Tak pelah,slow n steady

Lil one is still sleeping, hubby dok tengok dvd tu.

I nak buat housework n get ready to go out.

long time no see

2012-01-13T23:50:00.000+08:00

been a while since blog.

Miss it actually but problem with the internet connection at home makes me stayed away a while.

To go out and bring the ipad, beratlah. so memang tak bawak kluar pun.

The second week of January almost gone, here comes the third week. I have been busy with my workout session. feeling so inspired off late.so layan aje lah.

School days, not doing anything much,just after school try and sit down with Lil one ad discuss about her school work. we research,we discuss . its fun.After that we play outdoor or she'll ed up playing with barbie dolls:) and we try to settle early on a school night, like to have enough sleep fr school.

Oh apart from that I have been spring cleaning. we donated a lot of books and knick knacks. I love the after feeling. feels lighter. with not too many stuffs berselerak.

Well actually I am heading into te minimalist way..wish me luck.

I miss reading my blogger friends updates. tak apalah sabar bila ada connection nanti I will read up.

Have good weekend you all.

boxing day!

2011-12-26T06:52:00.000+08:00

Seronoknya if I'm in London now. hmmm shopping sakan la gayanya! hehe

Its 26 dec 2011 and my gym mood is back seriously. I have the urge to exercise and that is so good for me. I thought it was lost ad would never return. Nasib I am feeling this way again.

I just want to stay fit and healthy:)

i learned a lot from a nanny today:)

2011-12-20T00:45:00.000+08:00

watched take home nanny and agreed with what nanny emma said..."Your child is 2 and a half years old, he needs to sleep at 7pm"..
I agree that a child need to sleep to grow.
Its take home nanny marathon . been watching it since petang:)I like the fact that there are ways to discipline and time out.

Manners,respect, consistency, love. it will work if we focus and be in control.

everyday...

2011-11-10T06:58:00.001+08:00

been so lazy for the past couple of weeks. very lazy infact that I bother to do my Laundry. its a mess but I just wanna do it. when it comes to sweeping the floor I am fine, will do it eeryday. but Laundry, cis! memang tak suka lah.

Holidays is just round the corner. In my heart of course I want to go places but nampak gayanya macam tak ada.so apalagi? spring clean rumah la. Just to kep myself busy. Just to go with the flow,less is more. Been doing that for a couple of yars already and I am proud to say its getting less actually.

We do not really need stuffs to b content and happy. we just ned to be happy with what we have and make full use of every item that we have.

Ok now I am getting ready for everyday routine.
Sudah ku choba untuk mengemas rumah tapi mood malas masih ada.
Sudah ku choba pandang ke lain, masih terasa untuk mengemas tapi malas.

I shall just close the curtain and watch movies lah.tak mau feel guilty lah! just enjoy and relax.

I bumped into someone I look up to so much!!

2011-11-07T17:45:00.000+08:00

Today we went to pavilion, Lil one wanted to go into the rm5shop at Tokyo Street , when I was browsing, I bumped into someone so familiar looking and then I was gushing to Lil one, see who's there. I did not want to terus serbu him because he was shopping . everyone else started to serbu ,malu malu..nak tegur but malu.. hehe.When we walked out the store everyone gave way ad was in confusion,"betul k e ni"

Guess who

It was Tun Mahathir.

It made my day

2011-11-03T08:01:00.000+08:00

I woke up with a foul mood. Something little triggered my anger and ka boom! Arghhh now I feel like s*it....
So today is a no go day for me.
Oh yesterday I went to the gym .

nothing!

2011-11-02T15:14:00.001+08:00

Yesterdays idea about cleaning, sorting and decluttering was just talk!!! I didn't get to any of it. I wonder what's wrong, been lazy since yesterday. Skipped yesterday's workout session as well. Today, belum pergi lagi.

Watching tv non stop . Lapar bangkit masak.then sambung watch tv. Did nothing!! Just nothing.
Don't know how long this laziness will stay just that I am enjoying doing nothing!!
Blog today ni pun about nothing!
Enjoyed the thunder and hujan lebat just now. Couldn't even see bangunan sebelah. Oh now I know my mood is like this because of the weather!!

november it is

2011-11-01T10:20:00.001+08:00

Just checked hubby's wardrobe to clear away, to fold again..to cantik and kemaskan stuffs inside there. Its almost empty. Waiting for his clothes to come back from the laundrette. I am washing clothes too. Checking clothes on the dryer to see if we are using everything. The ones that stays in the wardrobe and tak keluar pakai langsung .. Should be donated right? How la to donate,its my baju Kahwin..hehe..that I will never ever will fit in ever again. Should I keep it? Hmmm

Holidays is coming in 2 and a half weeks. I don't know why, but everytime the holidays is round the corner, I want to declutter. I must sit down once and for all to sort the paper junks. Other part of the house is as minimal as it can be. But behind the doors,there's containers with junks inside. I hide them so I tak pening kepala. But I guess if I sort them out, I will have that area as an empty space kan?

Kitchen cabinets need to be decluttered too. Too many things in the cabinet and out, I don't like.

My collage, I must sit down and do collage again. Too many photos that is kept in a box. Must see to it pretty soon.

Wish me luck on trying to sit down to clear some of it today.

October coming to an end...pretty soon.

2011-10-27T11:06:00.001+08:00

Went to workout very early and there was someone earlier than me. Bersemangat sungguh exercise pagi pagi..
Back home, I heret the recycle stuffs to the door, heret some clothes in a recycle bag too. Don't know when I'm going to clear it away but the mood to heret things to one side of the house is here:)

Was surfing the net just now about minimalism and got inspired a little but I plan to go out first.

Bbm'ed with bestie this morning,planning our getaway.. Dunno jadi ke tak but I am hoping to go. If she's not going,I still wanna go.There's somewhere in mind but dunno if can or not.Just a local holiday.Pun jadi:) asalkan get out of this busy city.

2011-10-26T11:47:00.001+08:00

What shall we do today? Where should we go? Hubby is sleeping, enjoying his beauty sleep.Lil one and I have been up for quite a while. Its Deepavali today . Should we take Lil one out or should we just stay in?
Yesterday Lil one I started with the science worksheets. To be able to ask questions and Look for answers,I think that's good. Using both sides of the brain to gain knowledge. With experimenting the subject it made both us wanting to know more. Its interesting.we both love it.

Not in the mood to workout, not in the mood to clean as well. Arghhh

workout/Lunch/ appts/playdate

2011-10-25T06:39:00.001+08:00

I am heading to the gym early. I missed it yesterday. Today we have lunch with grandma and some guests from down under whom we"ve known for quite a while.aftert that bestie is going to pick me up and we're going for coffee and appointments and later playdate. Love it when its school break. Lil one can have playdate all the time.

On the home front, not doing any hard cleaning as I have mopped yesterday:p yesss that's tough cleaning coz it uses my upper and lower body. LOL.

Yesterday another bestie texted asking where we're heading for the upcoming holidays,they wanna join. Most probably the beach. So we must meet soon to plan the trip.

Another bestie invited me as contact on bbm and yay, finally. So we have been bbm'ing the whole time. Nice feeling!! To be able to keep in touch. We saw them last in 2008 before our umrah trip.

Okdokie, I am off to gym now. Hoping for a great workout:)

books to explore

2011-10-24T21:59:00.001+08:00

Went to the bookstore today and found some english and science books. It should be interesting to read and go through with Lil one. The Uk sylabbus is easier to learn. There's hands on activities that we can do together without realising that we're both learning:)
That should be interesting, will start with Lil one tomorrow.a little topic each day should be enough.

this and that on a sunday!!

2011-10-23T05:56:00.001+08:00

watched dvd last night and I totally forgot the story line. Woke up very early today. Went to the kitchen and felt a sense of calm because one side of the kitchen counter top is spotless.The other side is a nightmare. Made myself some nescafe and sat down enjoying and wondering why am I up so early on a sunday. Today I can remember my dream vividly.banjir or some sort.

Hubby is up too. He said the house is too cold. La.tutuplah aircon..ni tak..selimut bertimbun :p haha.
I am contemplating should I go to sleep again after suboh or just get ready and head to the gym? I think I need a personal trainer but that's so expensive to be thinking about now.Want hubby to train me but he is still at that denial stage himself.. He was telling me yesterday,if he starts gym again,lecehlah..the food he takes in is lain and I said so be it. Let's change our food together and let Lil one see that by eating healthy, we make a difference. I hope very soon to succeed with the pujuking hubby to start exercising again.He needs to sweat it out like I do. Golf,you don't sweat as much..you go on buggy and pukul bola and hop on the buggy again.:p

You know you are losing weight or building muscle when you can feel your neck bones sticking out a little and you can feel the bones at your shoulder. I am so happy. I just need to manage my eating habits.They said cut the rice. Hubby said,rice is ok. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Fish . And munch on nuts. I have yet to buy almonds and the sort because it is expensive. I only recently bought the special K cereal and try consume that once a day. It says ,you can see results in 14 days. Heh!

On the home front, getting minimal by the day. Living room is just tv and sofa. Soon it will one less sofa and I can rearrange the house again. Would love to change the curtains of the living room and the masterbedroom..but $$ need to be used on other matters first. Also dreamed of changing the tv set in the masterbedroom and give away the bagak tv in there. Soon kot, sabar..insya ALLAH if ada rezeki lebih, bolehlah tukar a few things... I am just trying to cozy up the house. Little by little its ok

School holidays is coming,less than 30 days away. Cepat je masa berlalu. Feel that it was just new years. My bestie and I have planned activities for our lil one.In fact as they grow older they make their own plans and we mommies just need to execute the plan. Soon enough they will be big enough to go out on their own. Cannot imagine when they start asking to go out on their own.

ok,its sunday I think I should wash the laundry before heading to the gym.

Happy Sunday.

friday...

2011-10-21T12:51:00.001+08:00

Ok,I am going nuts:p I am blogging while on the machine:) well just that Lah..ha ha... Must clear the kitchen today. That's my target for today. No one in the gym so I can workout as long as I wanna..

2011-10-19T14:30:00.001+08:00

This morning I woke up with a flu. Aiseyman! Another round of sickness ke? I have taken garlic pill before anything else. Oh I should consume some manukah honey. Yeah. Go traditional first before heading to the clinic if it gets worse.

Apart from that I am reading on minimalism. The true fact of that will undoubtedly give me a sense of satisfaction.
Yeah too many clothes, in the cupboard and outside is not the way to live. I must stick to the rule one in one out. But not in the mood yet.

Hubby have been busy for the past couple of days and Lil one too.
We are planning activities for Deepavali holidays week. Must organise a playdate with besties.
And soon enough,raya haji will be here.

Talking about raya haji, I have a couple of friends leaving for haj this coming week. Doakan semoga mereka pergi dengan berkat dari ALLAH subana wataala..semoga mereka pergi dan kembali dengan selamat.
I pray for them. Insya ALLAH everything goes well.

Okdokes,hubby is picking me up. Going for lunch before heading to the shop. Need to get some stuffs.basic needs.
P/s : didn't workout today..hihi lazy!

Monday

2011-10-17T18:01:00.000+08:00

Lil one is so happy because she is involved in concert practice....she loves performing and singing...I layan ...
It's been a while since I updated the blog,sorry...no Internet connection.
Changed my blog name to minimalist wannabe because that's what i wanna be from today forward.

2011-10-05T22:32:00.001+08:00

Today,felt so good,after breakfast, I spring cleaned. Susun tepi what's gonna be recycled next. So puas hati because its minimizing very fast:)

Nothing much to blog about today.

motivated again...

2011-10-03T19:28:00.001+08:00

Just had to pushed myself harder to exercise and it happened. Went to the gym in the morning, met these 2 aunties and they were chatting happily, I pun join sembang..haha...so I just exercised for half and hour.got back home,kononnya nak continue spring cleaning, heh tak menjadi... Cuma menyusun barang ke tepi dinding then I headed to the gym again.seronok sangat because the gym was empty. I did some weights and stretching before going on the machine.listened to maroon 5 hit song and worked out like mad.enjoyed it so much. Happy sangat coz mood datang balik.

Went out after and ate some spaghetti to recover balik .

I also managed to pack up hubby's laundry yang nak dihantar ke cleaners, hopefully by tonight the pickup/delivery guy will come and collect.hubby will be settling that.

Lil one tengah dok baca story book tu...

Washing some laundry... Waiting for svu to come on and the night begins.

demotivated,yucks

2011-10-01T08:13:00.001+08:00

I got so demotivated yesterday after going on the machine that tells you what you weigh, your bmi, your protein and lean muscle. I was so frustrated because I have been working out like mad and I am considered on the bigger side. Arghhh. Fedup aku!

I have to change my workout routine all together. I have to change my menu for my meals. That's the hardest part because I simply love Malaysian Food. But to make a change on the body weight and start losing, I must be strong. Uwaaaaa!!!

Let me start the day with oats and raisins.

Here comes the boring unflavourable meals!

sakitnya

2011-09-30T06:27:00.001+08:00

This morning I woke up with a pain in my knee. Alamak! Is it because I overexercised? I am so worried of the knee because I felt how difficult it was for not being able to move one leg and had to sit down and cannot do anything. I will sapu minyak nanti lepas mandi..

Yesterday I minimize stuffs in the room.Today hopefully the mood will still be here to clear the junks away..I have in mind to live minimally for quite some time now. I have had enough clearing boxes everytime I move.I don't wanna be hoarding stuffs anymore. A promise to myself is to clear stuffs as often as possible.memang susah nak kemas,penat but I have to.the after feeling tu best.

Its friday and I shall try and clean harder.

life

2011-09-29T06:57:00.001+08:00

Sometimes life is good,sometimes its bad. Its how we perceive it is what matters.I have been lacking at exercising and only to begin seriously again for the last 2 days. I have a target to keep on losing the inches eventho I am not losing any pounds. I like when my pants and clothes are loose. It shows that I am losing kan . At this point of age, dah tak boleh lah nak harap to lose big unless I join the boot campers and all which I doubt I will enjoy going to.
Dengan going to gym pun its like pushing myself very hard.
We will see if today I can burn the target calories again.

Before that I need to go settle some errands.
I noticed, money has been flowing out macam air this week.
Last week of the month, pay this pay that.argh!
Was telling hubby, boleh tak 2 tiga hari I tak nak keluar duit:)haha!! Living in kl, tak keluar duit is heaven lah! Pagi pecah duit rm50, by petang sure habis. Urghhh.
The cost of living in Kl.. Too much.

Seronok kalau dapat duduk and tinggal by the beach. Tengok air hari hari and no need to drive anywhere. How nice,my dream!

Okdokes, gonna start my day already.
