I don’t know if many people know this, but I use glasses. Most don’t realize because I tend to use contact lenses when I go out. Why? Its because my degree is pretty high at +6.00. That means my glasses are really thick. Some people say I don’t really look good in my glasses. Some say I look really studious. There was even a few guys who said that I look like a school teacher, especially if I also put my hair in a bun. LOL!

I think that glasses doesn’t really suite my face so now I use contacts when I go out. I find that they are more convenient to wear because you don’t hv to worry about it fogging up, or slipping off your nose. Not only that, I can also wear my sunglasses - which is a big plus for me since I drive during the day a lot.

However, I long for the day that I won’t have to wear glasses or contact lenses. One of the ways is probably Lasik - which is expensive. Another way is using Pinhole Glasses. I have been seeing this product in watsons or guardians but never had the courage to try it coz I felt sceptical.

However, recently a free sample was offered to me and after two months, I received a pair of pinhole eyeglasses in a padded envelope. I’m sure you’re thinking like, “how can something simple like that improve my eyesight?”

Well, I tried putting it on. It feels weird at first but after a while, when my eyes adjusted, I realized that everything was much much clearer. I could actually read the bigger words on my computer screen while wearing it. I think this pinhole glasses is more suitable for people with a lower degree than mine because they will find that their eyesight will improved a lot

I’ve always admired Mothers. How they can go from day to day doing a million things a span of 24 hours. A mother is the thread that holds the whole family together. This wonderful poem by Rosalyn R Smith sums it up really well:

A mother, a father, this woman’s job is never done. A cooker, a cleaner, trying and trying, tired and tired, waiting til this day is done.

A flower in the light, and a tear in the dark trying, trying and doing the best that she can do.

What this day will bring, she wish she had the key, only no one knows, cause a skirt she wears in the morning light and as the evening nears, a pair of trousers with a loving smile that layers and peels into a grim stern face holding on, trying, trying to do the best that she can do.

A mother, a father, a mother playing a father’s role, caught up in rising and raising her pride and her joy, trying, and trying to be the best that she can be while she struggles to do the best that she can do.

Traded-in for a better life without them, fathers who left no pride or joy behind because they could not do and be the best that they could be.

But, still this mother allows herself to rise so that she can raise her children the best she can.  A mother and a father that’s all she can be, trying, and trying to be the best that she can be so that her children can be the best that they can be.

Trying and trying, rising and rising and raising her children to be the best that they can be.

Nowadays, many woman who are stay-at-home moms are active on the internet participating in forums, online discussions and blogging. Its really heartwarming to read stories about their children’s day to day life and how they struggle with the joys of parenting. Some mommy bloggers have food blogs where they post up recipes of all the delicious meals, cakes and pastries they lovingly cook for their husband and children.

To all of you wonderful mommy bloggers out there, besides posting about your children and recipes, there is also a way to make money via SocialSpark. All it takes is a few minutes of your precious time online and no only can you be the homemaker of the family, but also generate some income. And all on your own time

I got this short video clip from a friend of mine. He says the person in the vid looks a bit like umie aida. Looks a bit melayu or indon-ish. What do you think?

Been a while since i wrote a proper post. Many things are going through my head and in my life now. Good things, not-so-good things, life changing things. Nothing life-threatening or dangerous tho.

My trip to KK was a blast (will write about Mag’s wedding and our Manukan Island Getaway soon). It was a great way to get away from everything that was happening in KL. Someone was really surprised I was in KK (coz I didn’t tell lots of ppl that I was going) so much so that he remarked, “wah, jauhnye membawa diri?” to which I just laughed. But honestly, it was a great opportunity to spend time with old friends like Mag, Tim, Derek and Rach and also meet new ones like Megan & Benny. Should have stayed there longer but finances did not permit it.

Came back on a Friday evening to KL. Rested the whole of Saturday then went to Kuala Kangsar for Puteri’s and Poker’s.opps..Aznin’s kenduri. I slept most of the way there and coming back. It was a really nice and simple wedding. Its the first time I was early to a kenduri. LOL! (Note to self : NEVER let Afdzal drive long distance if I’m chipping in for the fuel. He drives really really fast and the petrol also finishes really really fast. I think we spent more than rm50 on fuel alone)

I *might* be taking a 2nd degree. Umm.studies aren’t looking too good now. Don’t want to talk about it

On another note, I went to Centro (its this club in KL Central) last nite with my two of my classmates and friends. A girls night out with lots of dancing, sweating and drinking.  After that we lepaked at Pelita Bangsar - which at first I tot was Pelita at Jln Ampang then had to pusing back to Bangsar.

My review on Centro (since its my first time there). The area is pretty big with a big platform as the dancefloor. The bar was right in the middle so not much pushing and shoving to get your drinks. The price of the drinks was also not that bad : 1 glass Black Label + ginger ale (was very happy they had ginger ale - weirdly some clubs don’t) = RM 25.30 and 2 tequila shots = RM18 each. The DJ was not bad - R&B songs most of the night then house/techno music after 2am or so. Parking is also really convinient (a big plus!) and only RM4. Sorry, no pics this time. Too lazy to take photos plus my feet were killing me.

Have a great weekend ahead people!

Sunday - 6 July

I got Derek to pick me up and we went to church (Yea yea, so I went to church even tho I never go here in KL) then went for lunch with Uncle Yapp and friends.

One thing that I have been craving to eat/drink in Kota Kinabalu is Yoyo. Its this milky tea (zhen zhu nai cha) with those sago ‘pearls’. KL has it but its not nice. So Derek brought me to Yoyo in Lintas and I also gave Rachel a ring to meet up as well. We wanted to drag Garret along but he was sleeping and didn’t pick up the phone.

Doesn’t Derek look like a cute adorable kid? Rach has this weird expression tho

We sent Derek’s car back home and Rach drove us to Tanjung Aru Beach. They renovated the place since I last came to KK. Its much much nicer and properly developed now. It was oh so very hot as well.

Relaxing in the park. Gorgeous beach ey?

We had a rather early dinner at 6-7pm at Little Italy. Omg! I SOOOO love the sandwhich they have here. This is the only place to get it. Their pizzas are really nice as well. Full review here in my Zestful Eats blog.

After dinner, Rachel sent me back to Mag’s place where I found them arranging the seating arrangements. Slept early because the next day will be a busy day - the day before the wedding!
