AGE is just a number

Every year, I'm looking forward to celebrate my babies birthday.. Adam is turning 2 this September, and Dahlia is turning 1 in November. But also it comes to the stage where I wouldnt really want to celebrate my own birthday. I would love to get presents, but not loving the fact that the number bertambah jugak.. Can I just stay at 23 or 24?? hehe..  



Had a conversation with my college yesterday, when she starts questioning me how old are my babies, and at what age did I get married. Then, with her fingers out, counting.. She frowned and had this 'weird' look.. She continued asking me, when did I first met my husband, and so on..  I gave her the 'frown' back, and in my head  asking "why suddenly become all this detective-ey?".. She was actually counting backwards, and the number (age) just didnt add up. Then came the BIG question.. "Adleen, how old are you?"


Hah! I knew it!! After telling her my now secret number.. she said, "no wonder it didnt add up. I thought you are 24. I start counting backwards, minus your son's age.. minus your years in university.. and it just get me more confused.. why is she in university at the age 17?" Haha.. You made my day!!!!.. For the whole day I feel like 24 again!!.. hehe.. Thanks babe!!. I wish I can stop at 24, and feel like a 24 year old.. but at the same time become more and more wiser everyday. Does that even make sense?    

Salmon pasta for Adam yang x sihat

Today, I had to stay at home, taking care of my two babies (yang tetibe jadi twins ni), because Adam decided to start demam as well. Dahlia was already down with fever since Monday. And last night, Adam started to muntah2 about 5-6 times. We had to wash all the bed linen, pillow cases, and even comforter. Probably he's already jemu with the comforter that he has, and wants a new one.. ("wink wink" papa.) He was still weak early this morning, x larat nak bangun, and jalan, and his temperature baru je nak naik. I think the weather should be blamed.. so many people down with fever these days.. huhuhu.. Get well soon both of you.. If not, mama will demam as well ni.. 4 nights in a row, cant have a good night sleep. Now I dont feel like a 24 anymore.. Used to feel more energetic than this.. huhu

Both of them dah x larat merengek.. Sleep well babies!!

What it feels like to be young

Today, Adam went to visit his one-day old cousin Adelia Jasmine. Tetibe die pun macam excited jumpe baby. "Baby min" that's what he manage to say. He suddenly terasa nak naik katil la.. and super extra manja with atok and na. Not to mention, with Dahlia as well.


At home, its Dahlia's first time on the walker. I didnt really want to put her on the walker yet, since she cant even crawl yet. BUT, to be honest.. Dahlia loves when she's put to a standing position. Die suke didirikan. Lagi la kaki die melonjak2, macam nak lompat2 dah.. So I thought, well mama cant really tahan pegang you the whole day.. why not you try on the walker for tonite, and let mama's hand rest for a while.. hehe.. And guess what?? sape yang lebih excited?? (besides Dahlia.. of course she loves the walker straight away..)



Adam decided to try on the walker again.. "What does it feels like to be a baby balik?" hahaha.. He asked to be put in the walker, then... asyik panggil2 orang lain suruh tengok at him.. hahaha.. sooooo cheeky..I guess, he also wonders what it feels like to be young again.. 


Today, what I realised is that.. it is actually FUN kalo sekali sekala dapat refresh balik what it feels like to go back down the memory lane.. Tu yang kalo dapat pakai balik baju kawin dulu tu.. I was SUPER excited!! GRINNING the whole day.. Kalo orang mistakenly ingat I'm still single (anak dara), lagi la GRINNING.. or was it tersengeh??.. kehkehkeh..

CRAZY-ness that needs to be dealt with

Everyone has their own CRAZY-ness over something.. Adam? Crazy-ness over his pacifier, Geram-ness over Dahlia.. (which yesterday tetibe Adam tarik rambut Dahlia for no reason..geram ntah kenape ntah.. dah la Dahlia punye rambut sikit.. macam upin ipin je.. huhuhuh).. Adam now loves to play wrestling..We will try to tolak me (from my sitting position) so that I will fall on my back.. and immediately he'll sit on me, as though die menang the wrestling la.. huhuhu what a cheeky monkey.


He's also has this thing, where he loves to watch HIS video.. (the one that I took of him doing stuff like during his mandi times, during his counting one-six-nine-ten.. and etc).. He also loves looking at his own photos.. and then he'll smile and laugh at it.. hahaha.. so funny..


Me? I develop this new CRAZY-ness that I'm not proud of.. which is online shopping.. Its so difficult for me to shop in shopping mall now, that I have two small kids with me.. Adam will start running around the mall, wanting me to catch him.. while papa will have to either carry Dahlia, or tolak her in the stroller.. So, basically there's NO WAY I can get any shopping done.. huhu.. Except if Amii and Da (my sister and her hubby) tag along and take one of the kids to entertain.. hehe

So, a few of my favourite websites are:
Smashing Scarves by Lea Shmea

Where they have such a pretty scarves.. I LOVE them to the bits.. keep on buying like crazy, but cepat sangat sold out.. So those who read my blog.. jangan rebut2 tau..bagi la I beli dulu.. hehehe.. One of the scarves that I love wearing is:

Also, another blog that I quite like is:
LippyLito

But this, I'm still waiting for them to start their own collection. hehe.. Come on Mun and geng.. start the collection!!

This one, just started to shop here.. really nice cotton stuff.. hehe
*Fabulous Cotton* | For Cotton Lover | Kain Cotton cantik & ekslusif
Pun, cepat sangat run out of stock.. huhu.. Girls out there.. jangan la berebut2.. heheh...

And for my kids, some of the site I love is:
BB Luvs Me - Malaysian Baby Clothes Online
Most of their baju raya has already been bought. haha.. laju x mama shopping..

Online shopping is not just about saving time.. but also the site that I love semuanya are very reliable, and efficient with their service.. Thanks!! So, sape lagi nak recommend kan sites yg bagus2?? hehe

"Demam Bola"

I have never actually like watching football. When I was in primary and secondary school, me and my cousins would watched football just to watch players yg pakai jersey of our favourite number. So mine would be number '5' . I dont really know why I chose number 5.


Growing up to NOT being a sports fan, I'm ok with that. Didnt feel like I'm losing a lot. Plus I didnt really know anyone who's a sports fan too. But during college, I met Mus. He's a football player, loves playing football, loves watching football.. but not to the stage of makan bola, tido bola.. So after we got married, I learn a bit about football.. At least I teach myself to enjoy watching football with him. And the most important bit is: while watching the game, do NOT talk. Save all your thoughts after half-time, and at the end.. And join in with GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!! when appropriate.. hahaha

As a newly wed, when we were still students, we tried watching football together (when there's a good game) Kalo bangun tengah malam pun xpe. We will set our alarm.. sometimes I prepare snacks.. But if not, we'll just brought our blanket along. The 90 minutes game didnt feel that long. It was fun..


When Mus started working in Msia, while I was still in the UK... Most of the time he will ask me to call, to wake him up for the game. We watched the game together, even though we didnt watch it from the same TV. I usually watch the football match with books in my hand, pretending to study.. while Mus, usually fell asleep on the sofa during the game, but will wake up just in time before it ends.

NOW.. after having two small kids.. we can no longer watch the game in the middle of the night.. Yang LIVE punye memang x larat nak tunggu la.. Now we only watch replay match, which is at reasonable hours.. However, last night when we were watching the final EURO 2012.. (after we knew the score.. we just had to watch the replay..), with crisp and drinks all ready in front of the TV.. and the score was already 2-0.. both of us fell asleep in front of the TV.. it was only 10.30pm. that was the last thing I remembered. I woke up to the sound of Dahlia's cry for milk.. and that was 12.40am.. The match has ended.. and Mus dah tido tak sedar ape dah..

I guess, the next EURO or WORLD cup.. we may probably need to watch the highlights only.. hahahha.. We'll see how it goes..

Get in shape!

Most women would love to have a slim, curvy body. But not all women are gifted in that sense. Some would go all the way to get that.. despite the trouble, the side effects, and the money spent on this. I am glad that I dont have a weight problem, but as I grow oldER, I would want to maintain this way. There are a few ways that I can think of, that MAY help us to get in shape.  

1) Watch your calorie intake
- This has been applied by those who are very, strictly, really discipline people. 
- You have to watch this EVERY single meal. 
- Calorie counting is the method that you have to be master at.
- Is a great way to be healthy, but very difficult to lose weight by just this method.



2) Exercise regularly
- Of course this is the best method to be in shape.
- Regularly, 3 times a week, about 30 minutes minimum every exercise. This is what is recommended. 
- However, Its quite difficult to get in the habit, plus with being busy with work, stay late at the office, come back home to 2 small children to take care of... weekends is the time to rest, do house chores, go grocery shopping, visit parents and in-laws... Its just hard to take time and do exercise.



3) Go on a diet
- Some women I know would rather starve themselves to just get a good body figure. BUT this is definitely not a good way of shaping your body. The body needs nutrients, and the nutrient will have to come from the food. (calcium for bones, proteins for muscle, and etc).
- Some want to go on a diet, but cant.. will opt for throwing up right after they eat. That's bulimia.. A really unhealthy and BAD habit.
- How would you enjoy your life if you cant enjoy the FOOD?

Would you prefer to eat that cake? I know I would.


4) Slimming centres and slimming pills
- Most slimming centres will cost quite a fortune. Plus it has to be done regularly to maintain that effect.
- Slimming pills? dont get me started.. Most of this will have an effect like laxatives.. which makes you go to the toilet so many times... some may suppress your appetite.
- Do you call this enjoying your life? having to poo out all that you eat, and then cant enjoy your meal? huh! Certainly not a method that suits me.



5) Liposuction, gastric bypass, and other surgical method.
- what do you think? Of course its one of the effective ways recommended for those who are really really obese, and as a final option.
- and of course, since it is a surgical option, there come with tonnes of side effects.



PB corset offers an easy, effective, and relatively cheaper way to get back in shape plus good for your health. You only have to wear it daily (as you are wearing your panty and bra daily anyway), and carry on with your life as usual.
NO calorie counting needed
NO slimming pills needed
NO surgery
NO vigorous exercise needed

BUT if you keep wearing PB, and eat moderately, do exercise IF you can, wouldnt that be perfect? PLUS you'll be able to see the result 2x faster
Healthy in what way? PB take care of your posture, good for you back.. not to mention good  for your blood circulation.. And also PB increases your metabolic rate.. AWESOME isn't it? No matter what shape your body is, PB caters for all shapes and sizes.

I can only help you up to a certain point...


....but you have to help yourself too

I can teach you how to cook, or even help you cook
I can tell you to eat, or even feed you with a spoon
But I cant make you eat and swallow the food
Therefore, if you are hungry, please help yourself

The conclusion is that, other people can only help you to an extent, but if you wish to change something about yourself, or change about something you are not happy about.. DO IT! You cant expect other people to do it for you. CHANGE IT! You cant expect others to change to suit you. Dont just wish, but make it happen.

Personally I see PB business as a platform for me to change. To change the way I am (physically and also in health). And to change my perspective of what I can achieve in life.



Change is difficult. For you to change, you have to be out of your comfort zone. For you to change, you are exposing yourself to vulnerability, uncertainty, and to a place where it is unfamiliar to you. But did you realise that with change, you are also exposing yourself to new opportunity, new challenges, and certainly new experience??

So, challenge yourself to CHANGE. You’ll be surprise of  what you’ll get by the end of the day.

Life can offer you MORE...

....If you know where to look for.


Some people are happy just the way they are. They let LIFE decide where they will be going. For me, I've been there, and it doesnt make me happy.. I want more. I want to be able to predict what might be, or might not be.. I want to be able to say "I've done my best, and I'll do it all over again if I can"..at the end of the day I want to be able to sleep soundly, after a full day of productiveness, not laziness. 


For me, there's always 2 sides of a coin. It depends on which side you're looking at. The same goes to life. I want to be the person, able to see things in both perspective, and then decide what I want. Some people say that you can be happy, when you make other people happy. Is it true?? If that is so, then I'm sooo not happy.. I am happy, when I make myself happy. Why do you have to please others? for you to be happy?? 


I am happy when.....


1) I help others.. it can be in terms of money, giving hope, listen to their problems, help by just being there as a friend, or whatever that they need. 


2) I am able to give, rather than to receive. 


3) I see others smile. Especially if it comes from my 2 children. 


4) I am able to make FULL use of my day.


5) Definitely more happy if I can make more income, to give for a good course.


6) Even happier if I can help others to make extra income too :D




Would you like to join me in making others feel happy, but actually by just sharing the  happiness of your own? I found that in PB business. Make a change in life, and start your own journey to be happy. Call me for appointment:
