Today's post is motivated by the recent post by Momster. I just love a kitchen with the island thingy. LOVE IT! And, since dreaming is free... the following are how I picture my kitchen would be like one day...
I know that it takes a lot of space, but I like spacious kitchen. He he he... And I would just feel like Nigella should I really get a kitchen like this!
Money, money, money Must be funny In a rich man's world
Money. The only time this word makes us happy is when we get a lot of it. Other times, we lament. Sometimes all the time!
If money becomes our sole reason of being, we will be utterly lost. If money becomes the catalyst of everything that we do or want to do, we will be unsatisfied.
When they say money is evil, they are referring to the fact that money is able to make people go astray, fight one another. In the case of a marriage, it crumbles apart. Money becomes evil when it becomes the utmost importance in our lives.
Think about it. If you can spend a RM50 meal for lunch, for yourself, is it so expensive to treat the family to McDonalds? If you can spend a thousand ringgit on yourself, is it too much to spend a hundred ringgit on your spouse?
Sometimes, nurturing a relationship is very easy. And the simplest way is to not counting the ringgit that we spend on our loved ones. I've seen personally a lot of relationship turned sour because of this. It's sad, but it's true.
Money. We really have to be careful with it. And we have to be careful with our loved ones about it.
I was introduced to JARS by a friend few days back. Now, I'm sharing it with you. Let's!
One thing that I dislike when changing the blog's template, is to retrieve back all the links and widgets. I just wish they have a function to save temporary and then one button that enables us to add back those links and widgets. Hmm...
Another weekend has passed, and soon it will be Eid. Really, time does go on swiftly when you're not thinking about it. And next week, we will have an additional family member. My brother's wedding is just around the corner. I have almost finished his hantaran but purposely doing it very slowly. Reason being, some makcik-makcik are anxious to see how they look like. The neighbours that is. Which is really surprising to Mak and I. Ha ha ha...
These makcik-makcik have mostly got their kids married off. And I have to say that everyone is waiting for my parents' children to be hitched off. Hmm... It does not annoyed me, just a bit unsettled. But then again, whatever makes you happy la kan? I told Mak that I'm going to get it done the night before the akad. :-p
Let's see... I have bought a kebaya top to go with the A-line skirt that I asked my aunt to make for me. Since the skirt is carca marba, I looked for a top in white. This is for Eid. He he he... Can't wait! Maybe I need a new pair of shoes to go with it... Hmmm...
I'm having Monday blues, I supposed. I feel lazy, which is not a good thing. I've been feeling this way since before Ramadhan. I need a long holiday, but I can't afford to take long leaves for Eid. I guess, I just have to wait for December. I hope, in the midst of everything, I still have time to breathe and relax. I really need it.
I am not freaking out anymore... Well... I do get major panic attacks at times, but all is well, insyaAllah. I breathe easier knowing that some things are moving towards the blessed date. I picked our wedding invitation card. Well, not really confirmed yet, as I brought back three samples, and I want the size of one, with a colour from the other and the pattern from the third one. Yes, I am fussy that way. :-p
It was a bit funny, because I showed them to CapalPerak and asked him which one he thought the best. He initially told me to make the choice, but I insisted on getting his opinion on the matter. So, he picked one (I presumed, just to get things done, because he expected what happened next). After which, I was like, "err.... actually...." and I laughed. I realised I was being the typical woman, because in the end, what I decide is the ultimatum, and what he decides is just an opinion. :-p
Now is just to finalised some other details to be included into the card, and insyaAllah by October we will see the result. And after, those important people in my life will start to get the invitation. :-) So, friends, send me your mailing addresses, ya!
Next, we have engaged a photographer to capture the memories on the blessed day. I like his style and the way he see people through his camera lens. InsyaAllah, everything will go fine.
Other than that, I have also booked the bunga telur for the khatam Quran session. Just a simple one. Mak likes the hanging type, so I ordered that. For the bunga pahar, the ever talented Mel has started the works. She delegated me to cut the netting for the egg... :-p
What's left is to find the items to make the gifts for the aunts, all of which to be purchased in Nilai 3. It's too expensive in KL, I've checked. Owh... and also, I'm yet to choose his perfume, Al-Quran and prayer mat for the hantaran.
