Day 2 2014

I haven't done any scrapbooking in aaaaagessssss so when Fiza contacted me last week asking for help to design her wedding album, I did not think twice to offer my service kkk.. I was afraid that my skills would get rusty but apparently I still got it yay ^^ Just for kicks, I whipped up two different style. One is elaborate, with more elements while the other one is a simpler version, focusing more on the photos. I think I love both ^^ Anyway, looking forward to do more this year. I need to do albums for both Myra and Amani. =)

Week 7

7th Feb - Today, I am thankful that I had a great session at the gym. Managed 30 minutes on the treadmill, 30 minutes on the bikes and did some other stuff as well. And oh, I heard LeAnn Rimes' song, Can't Fight the Moonlight, while I was there so that brought back a certain memory. Love that song!

8th Feb - Today, I am thankful that I discovered this quote: "Don't be a woman that needs a man. Be a woman a man needs the most.." How true! My sister's friend just broke up with her boyfriend and she was a mess. I don't want to be like her.

9th Feb - Today, I am thankful that I finally went to SMK Bandar Sg Buaya to fulfill my responsibility towards my practicum students. Had a good discussion with them and when that was done, went over to Amcorp Mall to buy some books. Love it!! And oh, today I found out that the university's name is getting changed from Universiti Industri Selangor to Universiti Selangor. I was a bit apprehensive at first but I kinda welcomed the change and kinda grateful that I am still here when the changes take place. And something happened with Mr X too, that makes me grateful. *big grin*

10th Feb - Today, I am thankful that we all finally met the infamous Mr M, the object of Sundari's affection. Awwww... they looked so sweet together. So happy for them! He came over to the office, we lepaked for a while, then went over to Secret Recipe at Alam Jaya and just hang out there. They treated us for late lunch! yay!!

11th Feb - Today, I am just thankful for the second chance given to me. God knows how messed up I was but I was given a second chance and I am not letting it go.

12th Feb - Today, I am thankful that we managed to get together for another session of bowling at Perangsang Templer. Abg Azzam, Kak Ya & Abg Din joined us, and it was more havoc. Mmg best giler! Then later on, it was awesome dinner at Shahirah..

13th Feb - Today, I am thankful for a great session at the gym. Managed 40 minutes on the treadmill (with an interval between 20 minutes) and then 20 minutes on the bike. Just great!!

Week 6

31st Jan - Today, I am thankful that I managed to get everything done before I go off on leave tomorrow. And eventhough I had a bad day, (not sure of the reason why) I still managed to have a good class with the Diploma Sem 1 students.

1st Feb - Today, I am thankful that it's the first day of my one week leave! Just lazed around and did nothing, then we went to One Utama for spaghetti and Starbucks. Yum!

2nd Feb - Today, I am thankful that I managed to stumble upon the video of Chris Medina's audition for American Idol season 10. It makes me believe that there are good guys out there after all.

3rd Feb - Today, I am thankful that eventhough I was having a crappy day, I have someone to turn to. We spent the night watching two movies at Abang Azzam's: La Ikro Ha Fiddin and also CJ-7. Both movies are awesome!

4th Feb - Today, I am thankful that I discovered Mawi's song, Menanti Hikmah. I don't normally like Mawi's song but this is an exception. Love it and it has become one of my fave songs now.

5th Feb - Today, I am thankful that I managed to spend a lot of time with family. Syara & Myra came over and after we came back from Aflah & Mamat's wedding in Kajang, we went over to Perangsang Templer Golf Club for bowling. It was so much fun!

6th Feb - Today, I am thankful that I managed to go for solah & kuliah subuh at the surau. The rest of the day was spent recuperating from a bout of fever.

Week 5

24th Jan - Today, I am thankful that most of the shows that I watch are now back on air. Yay!! It's really great to finally be able to watch Gossip Girl, Greek, 90210 and One Tree Hill after waiting for so long.

25th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I finally managed to drag my lazy ass to the gym today. I had great time there!

26th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I managed to enjoy the treat that is Kek Batik. Made a batch last Sunday and today it's totally finished. It was yummy while it lasted and can't wait until the next time I make I will make it.

27th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I finally discovered 'Back to December' by Taylor Swift. Eventhough the song had nothing to do with whatever is going on with me right now, the title makes me think of a certain December of my life.

28th Jan - Today, I am thankful for the excursion we had after work to Secret Recipe in Alam Jaya, near Ai'syah's house. We stayed for 2 hours, just enjoying good food and talked our heads off. It was definitely great to be hanging out with your girlfriends. I am also thankful that I get to take beautiful shots of Hannah, Ai'syah's cute 3 months old daughter. : )

29th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I managed to spend time with my beloved family. Syara and Myra came over (since Abang Azzam & Kak Ya had to work), so we went out to buy Syara's school tudungs and then with nowhere to go, we made a stop to Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Shah Alam, where Abang Farid works and managed to get into the Snow House. Fun times!!

30th Jan - Today, I am thankful that my mom brought home some of those chocolate rolls that I love so damn much. It is so rich and so sinful that even a bite makes you feel guilty already, but I can't seem to resist it. And oh, it has been raining all day today. OMG, it makes everything seem cold but I love it!

Week 4

17th Jan - I am just thankful that I was able to get through the hard day at the office. It being the first day back after the break, it was bound to be hard but I got through it okay. (Of course I was there the whole week during the students' break, but it was like a chilled out thing where we didn't do anything at all. LOL!). And I am also thankful today that my package of end clips that I ordered all the way from China (through ebay) arrived! I was kinda scared that it would not and it would have been a waste of good money if it hadn't. But it did and I'm loving it.. : )

18th Jan - Had a bad day due to some really insensitive people but at the end of the day, I was just thankful that it happened because it got me finishing something that I was supposed to get done much earlier.

19th Jan - I am thankful that I discovered Pinterest!! LOL! As if I need anymore thing to keep me occupied on the Internet, but it's really awesome. And I'm also thankful that I'm finally done with the Junior Masterchef Australia. It has just started showing on a channel in Malaysia but because I'm not the type of person to wait every single week until it's done, I just search for some online links and watch it from there.

20th Jan - It's Thaipusam today, so naturally it's a public holiday. It was a slow morning, then after lunch we picked Myra up from Prima (because her parents and sister are going out for movies) and spent the afternoon with her. Just chilled around at home, subscribed to 'Aku Masih Dara' on Astro First while Myra slept and went to Puncak Alam for early dinner at McD. So I am thankful for great time spent with family and lovely time spent with Myra.

21st Jan - Today, I am thankful that I get another day off from work. It would be hard to go back next week but right now, I'll just take it as it comes..

22nd Jan - Today, I am thankful that I went to the TESL Night organized by my students! I was reluctant at first because none of my gang were going but I caved in at the end. I really really wanted to support those kids and I'm glad that I went.

23rd Jan - Today, I am thankful that everyone who posted on Facebook was saying nice things about the TESL Night I went to last night. I was especially thankful because the group who had been organizing had to go through a lot of hard times. To see them pull it off AND get praises for it, that's sure something to be thankful for.

Week 3

10th Jan - Today, I am just thankful that I get to be me. I am so awesome! (Well, if I do say so myself!)

11th Jan - Today I am thankful that I get to live to see 1/11/11!!

12th Jan - Today, I am thankful for blogshops and online stores that sell crafty stuff! It would have been harder otherwise to search for the stuff that I would have wanted to buy to venture into this 'business' of mine.. So, to Jaja Kraf and Marina Craft, thank you from the bottom of my heart! :)

13th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I get to go to the office and organize a little bit. Lame, I know.. :P

14th Jan - Today, I am thankful that my dad is a year old. It's his birthday today and he's 58 years old today!!

15th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I get to attend the kelas agama at Auntie Nik's eventhough we got back quite late.

16th Jan - Today, I am thankful that we all get to get together and enjoy a lunch buffet at Grand Dorsett Subang, to celebrate Abah's birthday. It was seriously awesome! We always had our birthday dinners at Legend (because Abah gets special discounts, you see) but after deciding on a few places, we remembered that Abah has these 50% off vouchers for Lunch or Dinner at Grand Dorsett so we just went with it. The food selection was great and we definitely enjoyed the time together. :)

Week 2

3rd Jan - Today, I am thankful that I was able to take the day off from work to recuperate from the bad food poisoning attack, so when I was not rushing to the toilet, I spent the whole day just chilling around watching movies. It was certainly a good break for me.

4th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I FINALLY joined a gym program. Before this, the thought of joining a gym was very foreboding because it was always so expensive and I can't afford it. Then my parents discovered a local gym where we only pay RM100 for membership (it's for lifetime) and another RM50 monthly. Well that, I can afford. When we went there earlier, we only have to pay RM80 for the membership because we went there as a family so there was some kind of family discount or something. Anyway, gym was HARD but totally worth it, I guess. We started slow, 10 mins on the bike, 15 mins on the treadmill, not even 1 minute on the StairMaster (I think that's what it's called) because I got dizzy, then I did 3 sets of 15 of leg ups. I am definitely proud of myself and can't wait to go back tomorrow!!

5th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I was having a better session at the gym. Managed 30 minutes on the treadmill (yay!!) and a few other routines. It was definitely much better than the first day because I did a lot more than I did on the first day and I felt much better too. Not so much dizziness, so I'm happy!

6th Jan - Today, I am thankful that my venture into making ribbon bookmarks is blooming slowly but surely. When it did not sell at all during the time when my brother opened his booth last weekend, I was scared that all the money that I invested would be for nothing but alhamdulillah, the past couple of days I've managed to cover the money I used to start it. Not so bad for a little something something. And oh, today a dear friend of mine finally told us that she had found someone that she might want to spend the rest of her life with. Oh, that's so sweeeeeet! I'm so happy for her!!!

7th Jan - Today, I am thankful that the truth finally came out. What truth? Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out. Let's just say that this experience has made us stronger and bonds better. *sister hugs*

8th Jan - Today, I am thankful that I finally started the first class for my last subject in postgrad studies. Yay! This means that I am one step closer to that postgrad degree I had been working on for the past 2 years. Alhamdulillah! :)

9th Jan - Today, I am thankful that a good song, Tolong Ingatkan Aku by Ana Raffali won the Best Song in the 25th Anugerah Juara Lagu. It was at least a good song with a good message, compared to others. Haih, dah la this girl so comel! But I don't really like her performance though. It would have been better if she just did a sempoi kind of performance.
