Baby Khalif, welcome to the world

Last Sunday, I went to visits my friend who's giving birth to a baby boy in PPUM. Since it is a pre-gov hospital, I need to wait until 5pm - visiting time. Since it was the first time I went to PPUM, I have no comments on the access from the parking lot to the kanak-kanak ward. Based on my experience that day, it is quite far. Maybe there is another parking lot area nearby. But, there is a secret recipe. After I have burned those calories, i can now replace it back here. haha!

Around 5pm, the visitors are allowed to enter the ward area. It takes another 5-10minutes of walking time untuk ke ward lepas bersalin. Sampai saja, our friend (I will name her "the-mommy"), tengah bersiap2 nak bersihkan diri sebab through out the time lepas bersalin, no one nk jaga her baby while she's away. So I saw how difficult her movement is. Dehydrate, pain, hungry. I can say that I am very unhappy for what ever I saw on that day -service from ppum. But the baby calm me a bit. Although bertanda sikit dahinya disebabkan oleh proses kelahiran last night, he's still the cutest one. 

3kg++, quite huge huh. Alhamdulillah, yang penting sihat.

This visit sangat menginsafkan diri. Believe it or not, i did cried sebab terkenang macam mana la mak lalui dulu selepas bersalinkan diri ni. :( 

Walauapa pun, tahniah diucapkan kepada the-mommy n husband.

30 minit bersama Ustaz Don - 9 May 2013

Assalamualaikum semua

This post hanya untuk berkongsi cerita and reminding myself mengenai cerita ustaz Don pada hari ni.

Ceritanya seperti berikut...

Ada seorang lelaki ni, dia berniat untuk bersedekah. Sebelum dia tidur, dia berniat untuk memberi sedekah kepada orang yang pertama dia jumpa pada keesokan hari tu. Pagi tu, dia terjumpa seorang lelaki ni. Pakai selekeh. Orang miskin kot. Dia pun hulurkan sedekah kepada lelaki tersebut. Lelaki tu terkejut dan berterima kasih. Pada petang hari yang sama, dia terdengar ada orang bercerita... "Lelaki mana ntah p sedekah kat pencuri kat kampung kita ni." Beliau terdengar lalu tergamam. "Ya Allah, aku dah bagi duit pada pencuri." 

Malam itu beliau nekad lagi. "Esok aku akan bagi sedekah pada orang yang pertama yang aku jumpa. Aku nak ganti balik sedekah yang aku bagi kat pencuri tadi."

Pada pagi keesokan harinya, semasa beliau berjalan, beliau terjumpa dengan seorang perempuan ni. "Tak kan la pompuan ni pencuri." Dia pun sedekahkan duit kepada perempuan tu. Pada petang hari yang sama, dia terdengar lagi ada orang bercerita... "Lelaki mana ntah p sedekah kat pelacur kat kampung kita ni. Pelacur tu." 

Mendengar buah mulut orang tu menyebabkan dia terkejut. "Alamak, kali ni terbagi kat pelacur pulak. Tak pa, esok aku akan sedekah kat orang yang pertama aku jumpa untuk cover balik sedekah yang aku bagi sebelum ni."

Keesokan harinya pula, beliau terjumpa dengan seorang lelaki ni. Pakaian pun smart, kelihatan tegap. Tak mungkin dia pencuri, atau pelacur (gigolo). Dia pun bagi sedekah kepada lelaki tersebut. Pada petang hari yang sama, dia terdengar lagi ada orang bercerita... "Lelaki mana ntah p sedekah kat orang kaya kat kampung kita ni. Orang kaya dia p bagi sedekah buat apa?" 

Dia terkejut lagi sekali. Dia pun berdoa kepada Allah supaya menerima sedekah2 yang telah diberi.

Selepas sedekah tersebut, berlakunya kejadian yang orang tak tahu kalau tak diberi tahu...

Lelaki pencuri itu sebenarnya memang berniat nak pergi mencuri pada petangnya. Tapi oleh kerana dia dapat sedekah pada pagi tu, dia bertaubat dan meninggalkan kegiatan mencuri.

Perempuan pelacur - kesan daripada sedekah tersebut, beliau tidak lagi meneruskan kerja melacurkan diri dan mencari pekerjaan lain.

Lelaki kaya - lelaki tersebut berubah menjadi seorang yang pemurah. Sedangkan insan yang lebih miskin dari beliau boleh bersedekah, kenapa tidak dia yang kaya ini bersedekah?

Pengajaran:
Orang akan tetap mengata walaupun kita berbuat kebajikan. Tapi teruslah berbuat kebajikan dan bersedekah kerana tersirat 1001 khasiat disebaliknya.

Wallahualam.

Customer Review: US vs France

US vs France. No.. I am not talking about war or any political issues. I am talking about some women’s passion – Lipstick.

Last week, I have rewarded myself a MAC lipstick.

The story begins…

When I was a student, I do really admire this one cosmetic product, MAC. The color, the prestige, the brand, the packaging, economic… everything seems perfect! (For a guy, MAC is something similar like Ferrari). During that time, I couldn’t afford to get one.

When I went to France, I have been introduced to this one brand, Yves Rocher. It is a botanical product. What attract me the most is their lipstick. Very moisturizing, beautiful color, very affordable. But still, MAC product was something that is always in my dream to own one day.

The day has come. For about a year I have been happily using 3 Yves Rocher lipsticks, I finally ‘betrayed’ it once. I have bought a lipstick from MAC. I’ve got myself the most lovely sweet pink color – the color that I was dreaming about since many years ago.

New MAC store is opened in Alamanda Putrajaya. I was a bit nervous when entering the store. It is my dream to step in there – like kids entering the candy shop. I was entertained by a lovely salesgirl. She assists me to try the lipstick, powder, and blusher. Variety of colors. For blusher, to be frank, I love blusher from The Body Shop more! In the end, I just got myself the lipstick that cost me RM68 – not bad huh.

A normal procedure when you’re the first timer in using this product – fill in a form that I cant recall the exact name but something related to warranty –  a bit technical word.

I was happy! Again, I love the color. When I applied this lipstick on my lips, I don’t need any lip gloss. It is “wet”-looking enough.

After about a week that I have been using this product, I feel a bit disappointed. The promising moisturizer is not that moist. I need to apply an additional lip balm before applying the lipstick.

If using Yves Rocher lipstick, I don’t need any other lip balm to moist my lips. Now I realized that why should I get another brand that couldn’t take care of my lips?

Sorry MAC, you have disappointed me. I was happy when I went into your shop. I was happy when I went out from that shop. But I think, Yves Rocher suits a dehydrated-person like me, more.

Marie Claire Free Table Calendar 2013

If other people are so excited when they plan to go to Big Bang Wolf to get some books, I love to go to myNews.com located at Skypark Terminal Subang to get some magazines. Health and Beauty magazine was in my mind. But I couldn’t find one. Then I saw one magazine that’s wrapped by a plastic, Marie Claire. Of course there is a free gift inside – from KOSE.

I saw it is a table calendar 2013. Without further reading, I get myself this magazine… actually I pow-ed my brother to get me this.

Dan hasil pow-ed

…

aaaaaa.. ada kakak pakai baju renang… banyak page pulak tu.

Dan tiba-tiba hati ku berkata…

Hancur hati ku

mengenang dikau calendar

menjadi keping-keping

sebanyak keping baju renang

I just don’t get it. This is a magazine for perempuan. Why why WHY kene letak perempuan dengan pakaian renang yang sexy.

=.=”

Tinggallah diriku dengan hati yang lara. Tetapi! org kreatif tak stop di situ. I will tampal gambar2 tu dengan To-do list wall.

What if shin chan yang dapat this calendar???

12-12-12 12:12

Wahai anak cucu ku,

Mak/Nenek nak bagi tau yang nenek dulu penah hidup pada tarikh 12-12-2012, 12:12pm. Masa ni mak/nenek berumur 24 tahun.

Masa ni, mak/nenek baru habis mengajar subject System Administration di Universiti Tenaga Nasional. Harap2 uni ni masih wujud pada zaman korang nanti.

Sekian.

Indulging

Bismillah.

Berbahagianya hari ni. Off day from work sebab menghabiskan sisa2 cuti yang takleh nak carry forward.

Bangun sesuka hati kul berapa.. lazing around sampai pening sebab perut kosong… lunch order delivery je walaupun lambat sampai sejam… owh tak kesah la.

Lepas Zohor, terus kluar rumah menuju ke alamanda bersama2 dengan To-Buy-List yang dicatat dalam notebook lawa yang dihadiahkan oleh kak Naomi.

Walaupun kat jalan pening kepala dengan moron-drivers, my mood still tak terusik. It is my day-off. Around 3pm, sampai di Alamanda. Owh VIPnya dpt park depan entrance sebab semua org dah masuk office blk.

Misi menjejaki barang2 yang on sale pun bermula. Parkson, Japanese Home Deco, Yves Rocher, Watsons… those are places that I went to.

Jalan-jalan cari barang… ada promo yang menarik perhatian from YR. Shower gel & cream perfume. 3 items for RM38.

This product range sangat wangi and menarik perhatian. Well, there is another item yang betul2 tengah sale… their Vanilla perfume set. less 60%. tinggal RM86 kot. Hampir-hampir la nak terbeli. I keep on borrowing mantra from Confession of A Shopaholic movie, “Do I need this?”. Hahaha sounds so drama… but it works! Lagi pun, I have just bought a perfume in Oct, so jangan membazir wahai shakiranova!

Jalan punya jalan, kering pulak tekak ni. Well, one of my plan g alamanda is to redeem my starbucks drink. Complementary grande from starbucks sebab dah cukup 10 kali beli guna their card. aaaaa saya suka saya suka (nada suara meimei upin ipin)! Thank you!

Balik je rumah, update stock shower foam.

I will spend more time masa mandi to decide nak pakai which shower foam.

Somehow, today I have figured out that shopping is my therapy. I had a couple of hectic weeks before, and today, I feel very happy… although it decreased some money, but yet, nothing is free kan.

Alhamdulillah.

Baru ku tahu jenis-jenis kasut perempuan

2. Mocassin

From SANTA. The most comfortable flat shoes I have ever had.

3. Converse

4. Cone Heel

5. Wedge

From LeSandee. Affordable brand, yet very high quality of wedge. Worth to own at least one!

Saturday Evening with Yves Rocher

Hello! How’s your weekend? This weekend I’ve chose to pamper myself. Other than sleep… I and my friend, Salmi, went for make over.

Kebetulan Yves Rocher Alamanda ada promotion untuk produk terbaru, Hydra Vegetal.

Cuaca sekarang kan sangat panas masa tengah hari. Walaupun dah minum air more than 1.5L sehari, kulit tetap rasa kering. Seharian keje dalam sejuk air-cond pun boleh mengeringkan kulit. So we do really need a product to hydrate our skin from the outside too.

We starts our session by analyzing our skin.

Miss Nina’s my assistant through out the day and every time I went there. She’s very friendly, and helpful. She helps me to check my skin’s hydration. The result’s not so good… 33%. It indicates I have a dry skin. Well, I already know that since I keep on feel thirsty all the time.

I’ve gone through the following steps;

I love the feeling. Very cool. Not as cool as mint but I feel like I‘m applying wet tissue on my face every single minute. Very refreshing!! I even feel like to apply it to all over my body!

When we have finished, here’s the result…

58%. Any result is good as long as it is above 50%.

Thanks nina!

Lets move to make over…

Impressive. SO many equipment!

Well, there are two makeup artists. Mine wasn’t really friendly boooooo

She feels unease when I keep on asking what product/item that she applied to my face. Of course I want to know every single thing that you’ve applied to my face… at least it can increase the potential for me to buy Yves Rocher’s makeup products. Don’t you get it miss?

What I can recall during the session’s;

She starts with eye’s area – eyelid’s sticker (makes your eyes bigger), foundation, eye based, light pink eyeshadow (based), brown eyeshadow (shading), eyeliner.

Then baru masuk bahagian seluruh muka.

Foundation – loose powder – pink blusher – eyebrow shadow (chocolate) – mascara – bulu mata palsu (optional).

Alahhhh, very basic lah. Bukan macam artis nak naik pentas.

And here’s the result.

Mari kita pergi ke sesi photoshoot…

One of the shoots. Pandai cik salmi kita berposing.

I meet these school kids… teenagers pun pakai this product. Well, it is botanical product.

-------

Actually October is my birthday month. So apa yang menariknya bila menjadi ahli Yves Rocher? Buy one FREE one item!!!

I have decided to get their perfume. FYI Yves Rocher adalah perfume number 1 di France. Spray sikit je dah cukup.

Untuk product Hydra Vegetal, I’ve got their Gel Crème (RM59.00), FREE toner, and LUCKY DRAW Gel Crème too! And the remaining two down there are coconut bath cube, and bath net… FREE GIFT!

Alright… I hope ramai yang akan jadi penggguna Yves Rocher sekarang ni. Worth it for money.

And this is the picture from the photoshoot.

Black and white polkadot – Classic

A few tips to share here are – for this kind of promotion;

• We have to control ourselves
• Know our nawaitu (intention) to go there
• Know the types of promotion – requires to buy with a minimum purchase or not
• What are the activities included in that package
• Try to avoid additional charges; Fake eyelashes (RM15), whole softcopy picture; 1cd (RM100), Laminate (RM10) --- these are ridiculous things that you should minimize your expenditure – you don’t even need it. Usually these are done by the ‘outsource’… not by the brand itself – Rational!
