Sesi Bodek Nak Pancing Flakes Sekotak... :p

Losing the mood to hit the gym?

Even if you don't feel like hitting the gym, just go anyways with the promise that you will leave after a warm-up and just a five minutes run. "once you get to the gym and get your blood pumping, chances are you'll finish your full workout,"says Rachel Cosgrove, author of The Female Body Breakthrough. Whoa, talk about reverse psycology!

Dry skin?

My mom is most oftenly one of those people who buys things and forgets about them 2 weeks after. Products and vitamins especially. For the first fews days, she will use/eat them religiously. As days pass by, she uses it less and less to a point she forgts about it. Same goes to the free samples she gets. One of which was a body cream from L'erbolario. Since it's been lying on her dresser for like ages and i'm at the brink of trying to to save as much money as i can yet i need to take care of my skin because i'm fetting married, I took the cream and decided to give it a try.

You see, i've always suffered from combination skin (oily and dry) yet sensitive. Sometimes, i just opt not to use anything. Big mistake! My skin turned out to be dry and wrinkly! I tried a lot of products. Vaseline didn't work. The effect was gone after 3 hours and reapplication is needed. Johnson's baby lotiin gave me a rash and so did body shop's. So, i tried on this body cream and surprise suprise! There wasn't any rash. My skin was moisturized throughout the day that i had to instantly call Tira and invited her to do a little splurging.

The salesperson let me try on a few things. Even the smell of the product was awesome! Especially those organic ones which cost a few hundred (apparently, 100% organic stuff are like super expensive). She adviced me that to keep the skin nourished and lustre, it is best to use both the body oil and cream (oil first then cream). Body oil did scare me a little considering the oily parts of my skin but their body oil is highly absorbent and does not cause any oily effect. A bottle of body oil cost me rm119. Since it was going to hurt my wallet, i just bought the body oil first. Then, just last night, my mom got me the body cream. Yeay! Now i have the two combination for soft, supple and nourished skin before my wedding! Thank you, Mama!

"We told you there'd be a solution to our Ben & Jerry's problem!

So what was the one thing keeping B&J from being absolutely perfect?

Jerks tryin' to steal it from us! We're talkin' family, friends -- it doesn't matter! It's ours!

Well, we don't have to worry anymore: The Euphori-Lock is here!

Here's what the company said:

"This delightfully tongue-in-cheek concept actually came from one of our customers, who suggested we start selling our ice cream in stainless steel containers with little padlocks on them.”

LOLz! How fun!

The contraption is a two-part plastic security ring that slips around your pint's upper lid. All you have to do is remember your code when you want to dig in!

Perfect! Now if we could just remember our code... ha!"

Now this is a BRILLIANT IDEA! Now, if only they can create one for my Flakes box. It keeps on getting lesser day after day. Not that I don't appreciate it when people help me to eat my chocolates, but there's only 3 left in the box! (There were at least 10 last week!)

Something to share

In 5 weeks, I will be a wife. Honestly speaking, I do have mixed feelings. Sure, most of my days are spent wisely for the wedding preparation but deep down inside, marriage scares me. It is not only a commitment but it is a very important role. I will be his  Queen and by marrying me, he promised to God that he will bear all my sins and take care of me. Thinking that all my actions will affect the person I love did not give a good feeling. I'm sure no one wants to hurt the person they love nor would they want to be the reason for their spouse to go to hell. Nowadays, divorce and infidelity are common. 

These are the questions that were asked to me:

1. Are you sure that he is the one?
2. What about the mistakes he did in the past?
3. Can he make you happy?
4. Will your marriage work?
5. He is quite a wanted guy. Are you sure that he will stay loyal?
6. What if you won't get the happiness you wanted?
7. What if you could have gotten a better spouse?
8. What will you do when a girl tries to steal him away?
9. What if he gets rich and leaves you for a younger woman who is hot?
10. What if he enslaves you after marriage?

As much as I can doubt him, he too can doubt me. Nobody's perfect. I, too have flaws and made mistakes. However, these challenges are not exactly disadvantages. They actually teaches us valuable life experience and lesson. Honestly, I hope for the best. Just like everyone, I am looking for a companion. Love is a gift. Sure, there will be risks but you wouldn't know the result unless you try. We only have our good faith and hard work to make a marriage work. InsyaAllah, I will find my happiness.

Today, I found this page on Facebook called "Happy Muslim Husband and Wife" that shares motivational words and stories to encourage a healthy and happy marriage. I read a few things and was so inspired that I had to share it. If you too are heading down the aisle and have wedding jitters, you should take a look at the facebook page. I hope it will help you as much as it is helping me right now. 

What wedding preparation pressure can do... ;p

Sarah's Farewell Dindin at Sate Kajang Hj Samuri Putrajaya

Sarah's leaving HP to pursue a different career. So, the Quality and Training team a.k.a. SDEX GSD decided to organize a small gathering at the Sate Kajang Hj Samuri. Initially, we thought of going to the one located in Dengkil but Rangga (an indonesian colleague) told us that they have a branch in Putrajaya. We were all shocked considering that we, Malaysians don't even know of the place. Embarrassing, right? Anyway, we all decided to convoy after work. A total of 6 cars to be exact. However, considering the amount of traffic light in Putrajaya, convoy is not exactly a great idea. Believe it or not, we has to make a few stops. There was even a point when one of the colleague even got lost and we had to make a stop in between the government officer's buildings. 

Super Hot Weather in Putrajaya

Convoyed cars all lined up.

Rangga getting some shade from the Sun.

After awhile, we finally made it at the Taman Warisan Pertanian, Putrajaya. There's a some sort of a fourt court with a wide variety of food. The shop is located there.

Rangga's super shocked look when he found out the price of Lamb Satay is twice the price of Beef Satay.

It wasn't till 7.45pm when everyone started heading back home. We were all very tired but our tummies were very full and HAPPY (with a huge Grin).

Hope Sarah enjoyed herself too and like the present we got her. Since she likes perfume, we got her a 100ml Ralph Lauren Big Pony Perfume in Purple.

FYI, the present is shared by 25 people.
