Thanks to Herbalife, me and family has been able to enjoy a wonderful weekend in CLub Med Cherating. It is a vacation that we may not be able to afford by ourself, but being a Herbalife distributor has helped us to reach the place.




It is a wonderful experience, where no words can describe unless you were there. It's like we are in another different country, not in Malaysia. We had a marvelous experience from welcome by the GOs of the Club, until the time we left the Club.


Well, if you may not know this GO are the staff of the Club who did all the work. They are the lifeguards, receptions, entertainers, instructors, bar attendance, and all the work you can think of. I heard there are about 100 of them, and majority are foreigners. And of course, there are G3s which most of them are from local people, who are the cleaners, waiters, technicians, kitchen helpers and etc. The level of staff are so obvious. But the work ethics and their professional levels are so admirable. Like I said, I don't think that there's another place in Malaysia where you can see how professional these people can be. I can only see this outside of Malaysia.

If you have the money or the opportunity, I would suggest that you grab the chance and go there for at least once in your lifetime. You don't have to spend your money on Air tickets, where you can have the same overseas experience locally. It was so convenient for us since it is so near to Kuantan, our home.

In the Club, you'll experience wonderful food from local to all other food from other countries like Western, Korean, and Japan. There are a lot to choose from.

You'll also be able to join all the activities arranged around the Club like Archery, Yoga, Sports activities, gym activities, spa etc. Your kids will also have their own facilities and activities according to their age.

The scenery is of course, so beautiful. You'll be located in the village inside the Rainforest scenery, but the beach is just next to you. It was the 'Big Wave' weekend, so we were adviced not to go near the water. But there is a nearby beach, which you can go by the train provided, if you'ld like to enjoy beach experience. This is the one activity where we weren't able to fit in our schedule. However, since our home is quite near to the beach, it's not a big miss.

Here are the list of activities we had in the Club according to sequence:-

Here are ten amazing breastfeeding quotes:

1) A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three. – Grantly Dick-Read

2) While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby. – Amy Spangler

3) All I ever heard was everyone bitch about it, nobody ever said, ‘You are not going to believe how emotional this is. – Jennifer Garner

4) I love that I’m someone special and that I feed him. I’m the milk cow! My theory is that nursing gives you superhuman powers. How else could I be doing all this when I’m usually a sleepaholic? – Gwen Stefani

5) There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can’t get it. -Irena Chalmers

6) If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers’ needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. -Gabrielle Palmer

7) It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion; it is a joy of every moment. -Honore de Balzac

8) People need to understand that when they’re deciding between breastmilk and formula, they’re not deciding between Coke and Pepsi…. They’re choosing between a live, pure substance and a dead substance made with the cheapest oils available. -Chele Marmet

9) Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems both large and small. It is almost always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck. – La Leche League

10) People say, ’You’re still breast-feeding, that’s so generous.’ Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It’s sort of like natural liposuction. I’d carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could. – Helena Bonham Carter

Any parents interested to join, please email me your name and contact no. Date and venue has not been determined yet. Just looking for number of parents to participate.

This is a good way for kids to get together in a list of events arranged for them, while mothers can sit down and chat about their kids and exchange ideas, and share experiences.

There will be a lot of educational and fun activities plan for them with courtesy of my friend, Ziba. Parents are encouraged to bring their food and drinks for potluck.

I'm really forward to have this playgroup event.

Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here's the truth...the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is...everything.
Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

Thank you boss for the Duit Raya.

Syukur, Alhamdulillah.

:D

So happy to share this note from Facebook. Thanks to Jenny for it. It really make me laugh

He Said, She Said

He said to me... don't know why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to put in it.
She said to him... You wear pants don't you?

He said to me... Shall we try swapping positions tonight?
She said... That's a good idea - you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart!

He said to me... What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?
She said to him... Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

He said to me... Why don't women blink during foreplay?
She said to him... They don't have time

He said to me... How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?
She said to him...We don't know; it has never happened.

He said to me... Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and Good- looking?
She said to him... They already have boyfriends.

He said... What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night?
She said... A widow.

He said to me... Why are married women heavier than single women?
She said to him... Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.

Yup, just found out. Since I haven't read the newspaper for soooo long, I'm so outdated.
But this morning, the HR Director mentioned about this in the meeting, and advised us to be extra careful.
So I looked out about the virus as precautions and found this in the Baiboo website

Ya Allah, jauhkanlah seluruh kaum keluargaku dan sahabat-sahabatku daripada virus ini. Amin

The Climb by Miley Cyrus
(makes a good motivational song..loving it!)

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

So excited today cos somebody pointed put that our face is in today's Metro. Not just my face, my entire family. This is the picture that they put in the Metro.
Our whole family is there, me, my beloved husband, Afrina and Afiq, and the rest of Shahputra SUKOB team. Actually this picture was taken after the price-giving ceremony of the UiTM Inter College Tournament. Shahputra has become the Champion!

So among all other picture, this picture was chosen to be pubslished in the Metro. So excited!

Just that, I don't really like the picture coz the TShirt is making me looked fat. I was wearing my husband's coz I did not bring any Shahputra TShirt to KL that day - actually, I don't have any College Tshirt pun :( That's why he has to wear the black Tshirt. Actually we were supposed to wear all yellow Tshirt that night.

Anyway, it's good to be in the winner side. Even though I got a lot of comments from my former office friends who were one of the competitors in the Tournament, I realized that all comments are just because of jealousy and envy hehehe

Shahputra Juara!!!

I'm so excited that mamafiza is expanding her Homeschooling journey to other states. How I wish she can make her way to Kuantan. I've already booked a place with her for Kuantan session, all I have to do is to collect at least 19 other names to participate.

This morning I've already send some emails to my colleagues and friends. Hopefully I will get the numbers so that mamafiza will be able to have ker Homeschool Chatter Moment here in Kuantan. If we can have her here in Kolej Shahputra, that will be very delightful!

Am I going to homeschool my kids? Well right now I have no plan to do that yet. I still have a lot of commitments that will not be able for me to quit my job. I also don't have as much knowledge and spirit as mamafiza. So, why do I want to go to this session with her?

Hmm...I am looking forward to meet her. I would like to know her experience. I would like to learn how she handle, and educate her kids. Having 2 kids is already too much to handle for me. But she has 4 kids! Wow. And I love the way she put all different elements in educating her kids. Good environment, healthy food, religious acts and advice, languages, social activities and all other stuff. And I know I will learn a lot from her cause she is so generous to share her knowldege with other mommies.

So if you are around Kuantan area, and would like to join her session, please contact me, or contact mamafiza directly. Let's bring a good educator to Kuantan!

Yeah, I've started to try a new type of make-up after being introduced by my beloved cyber friend mamafiza. So here are the items from my first order from Loving Minerals.com

I've got myself the sample foundations just to try out the right colour for me, blusher, lip gloss and eye shadows. I really love the foundation and powder. And the eye colors are great. Along with these I also got a long kabuki brush for the foundation and powder.

In order to learn the right way to wear the makeup, I've downloaded some videos from youtube. If you want to try, make sure you watch some of the videos so that you'll get the perfect makeup for your face.

Another blog that I've fallen in love with is womenstuff. This is a good blog to learn about the current makeup trend, how to wear makeup, and the links are also very useful. I'm not sure why I am into make up these few days. Maybe I realised the importance of being fresh and always looking good. It is important no matter what age we are at. Like the tag in womenstuff, 'There are no ugly women, just lazy ones."

Besides that I'm still looking for the perfect skincare. Since being in the 30s my face condition has changed. Even though U never have any major problems with my face, I think I should change to something that can offer anti-aging solution while maintaining to look younger. Whether I should go back to Mary Kay like I've used once before, or try something else. My boss suggest to try Herbaline. Actually I've tried Malaysian product 'Tia Amelia' but I feel that my skin has become drier. At this age I think the most important thing is the right moisturizer. It is the right time to change and stick to a skincare that really work for my face.

I'm so happy today cause after 1 month struggling to finish up all the assignments given to me, today I am free to get back to doing everything that I enjoy to do. Besides continuing with Herbalife, I've been waiting for the free time to take care of my pots and plants.
Here is the side of my house where I arranged my pots. Actually my parents helped with the sunshade just to cool my plants from direct sunlight.


A swing for my kids, especially for Afrina, bought from Ikea, hanged by my father.


Ok, this orchid (I don't know the type) is first time blooming in my garden. Actually it was given by my mom-in-law. She is an orchids fan. I've been taking care of some of her orchid collections for nearly a year, and now the flower is starting to come out.


I have some fruits tree also. This mango tree is planted in front of my house. Since it has been raining lately, the tree is growing very well.



We have another mango tree outside our fence, just starting to grow.

We have also a big 'cili padi' tree. Since I'm not so much fan of hot and spicy food, we always give the chillies to friends at work, and bring back to our parents. Actually we have 'kacang botol' trees also at our back fence, but today I took it all down coz the small white bugs are destroying the tree. Hopefully it will grow back later. For the chillies tree, I have to spray some garlic juice everyday to keep the bugs away.

So today I managed to put fertilizer on all my pots and orchids. I enjoy doing this, but stopped spending money on pots and new plants coz I think we have had enough plants for the house. Maybe I should invest to build 'Edible Garden' in my home like what I saw Datin Jeanne did it Putrajaya in the paper today.

Hopefully when we have enough money to renovate the house, we can build pergola at the side for my hanging pots, and build pots rack, and maybe a little pool with fishes...hmmm...better update my wishlist.

My 4th brother got engaged last Sunday, 8 March 2009. We call him Erry, well his real name is Ariff Aswad. His fiance's name is Ina.(Not sure the real name).

I'm actually the eldest from 7 siblings. Me and my younger brother already married and got 2 pairs of kids each. My 3rd brother is still single and available hehe...
So here are some pictures from the engagement ceremony.



So here are some pictures from the ceremony. As usual, I have to control my kids during the discussion part as they were trying to scream and running around. Finally, my husband took them to stay in the car.

The food was very nice and delicious. There were sup tulang, ikan semilang masak cili, telur itik masak lemak, some vegetables, fruits, ulams and kuih bakar. Everybody liked the dishes, and there are a lot of people during the lunch time.

And here are some pictures of me, husband and kids. Not manage to get more pictures, but overall very happy with the ceremony and very happy for my brother.

I've been struggling to finish up a lot of assignments during this month. Not mine, though. I'm helping some people to finish up their degrees, by doing assignments for them. In return, they'll pay me for the number of assignments that I do for them.

I've targeted to finish everything by end of February. It turned out that after I've finish most of it, more people are contacting me for more copies of assignments. It turns out that I have to do more than 10 assignments for this semester. Can you believe it?

No need for me to tell which University and who are the people involved. What pushed me to post here is their attitude with the assignments. Here are some of the reasons why they ask me to do for them.

1. Not enough time
2. Cannot answer the hard questions
3. Malas nak fikir, nak struggle only for exams and finals.


And when I try to reject, guess what are some of the remarks they made:
1. So easy one...Why you don't want to do it? (Why didn' u do it yourself if it is easy?)
2. Please do it for me, got 2 more weeks to finish. Still got a lot of time. I cannot do it myself, not enough time (Duhhh...)

And when i try to put some price to these late comers, this is their comments:
Why so expensive? i can provide paper and binding. (With total less than RM10?- Come on..why you're trying to find me at last minute?)

Then,after I agree to take just one more, someone send me sms.

Mr A :Can I give ur number to my fren? He want u to do assignment for him too.
Me : cannot take anymore
Mr A : What reason i should give to my friend? Kesian dia.
Me : Up to you.
Mr A : I ckp u nak jaga anak ye.
Me : ???!!!! (whatever)

I'm retyring for next semester (hopefully).

I really love this song. Thanks to cloudy for introducing me to Yuna. As I was looking for her songs, I found this song. Enjoy the lyrics!

p/s: To enjoy the song, you can go to her myspace page.

Ok, puas jugak memikir nak penuhkan 10 orang kat atas. Terpulangle nak jawab atau tak. Yang penting aku dah jawab dengan lengkap tag Azilah ni.

So, it is decided that after this I have to continue to write in this blog for my personal stories, besides updating about my Herbalife stories.
BeautifulLife, tunggu next entry untuk jawab your questions ye!

Since I'm busy with my Herbalife blog , so I will not be updating this blog for a while. Hopefully I will be able to update somewhere in the near future. For now, please read my experience in the other blog.

Since my boss has put my link in his blog (thanks my COO), I think I should update & upgrade my blog. Since he has too many fans, it will be a shame if, someday, out of a blue somebody would click on my name and not seeing a good blog. Actually I started blogging to be anonymous, so I can write whatever I like. So I guess I have to 'filter' my post since a lot of people knows who I am now. :)
So, what I should do is to post more often. Add in some new templates. And find more interesting topics to blog about. It nice to read some blogs which tell about certain interest such as photography, baking, certain product, etc. I should have pick an interesting part of my every life to blog about but I still couldn't stick to 1 topic since a lot of things are going on in my life. I guess I'll write what I have in mind when I'm feel like writing. I guess that's just what blog is all about, right?
Other than that, I'm planning to have another blog just for my kids, Afrina and Afiq. But may be this one in Malay. I see a lot of people do this. They put pictures, videos, dialogues with their kids to public. But there are some people who see this as a security issue. With a lot of kidnapping cases, it will be dangerous to let others know the face of our kids, know where we live, places we always hang out. However blog may be the right place to put all the photos and videos of our kids in our handphones and hard disks as a back up. It can also save all the things in order. We can see how they grow up and be more intelligent day by day. So it's actually our own preference. Facebook is another way to share photos and videos.

Well, I should stop now. Finishing my post and later...find a new and nice template for upgrading.

1. Find good recipes for my kids - both of them are picky eaters
2. Explore decoupage - goo for decorations, recycle and can make money too.
3. Learn cake baking and decorating
4. Learn to sew - at least baju kurung for Afrina
5. Reorganize my pots and plants
6. Redecorate my living hall
7. Start a small business - 1st step, register Company Name
8. Continue for masters Degree

What else? A lot of things to do, to explore and to learn. When will I have enough time and money to explore all of them? Which one should I start first?

My office's ' Things to do list'? Believe me it's a lot longer than this.
