My Dream Living Area

Hi hi hi... I've got tonnes of work to do. I'm taking a break. I NEED the break! So, I'm sharing with you my vision of a living area that is me. Simple, minimal, clean look.






This post is related to My Dream Kitchen.

Eid, Day 10

It takes me 40 minutes to shower, blow-dry and put a basic set of gunk on my face. I sorta timed myself after my gym session this afternoon.

# 8 minutes; shower and shampoo
# 20 minutes; towel dry the hair, put leave-on conditioner, blow-dry, serum spray, blow-cold
# 10 minutes; tone, treat and moisturise the face, then gunk up; two-way powder, eye-liner, blusher, lippy.
# 2 minutes; s'habiller

Therefore, my total session at the gym will amount to almost 2 hours. Workout session is one hour. And I spend a lot of time to pimp the hair. Hmm...

I am torn between being a Plain Jane or a Pimp Jenny. But today, I have decided to always be Ready Jade. Which means, I will always have the basic gunk all the time. It's not about being vain, it's about being presentable.

But the most important thing that I shouldn't skip is the basic 3-Steps; cleanse, tone and moisturise. Every morning and evening. This is the vital aspect of caring for the skin. And yet, knowing this, knowing the effect of skipping the routine, I sometimes, still feel lazy to do it at night. I should always remind myself that the skin corrects itself while I'm sleeping and this should be enough to ensure I take care of myself better, right?

As much as CapalPerak say that I'm beautiful even without make-up, a man will always feel better when he has a pretty woman on his arm, kan? Any man who says otherwise are lying through their coffee-stained teeth!

So ladies, pimp up! In fact, you don't need blusher or lippy. Just make sure you protect your skin, cleanse it properly. And be diligent about it. Like it or not, men, they are attracted to pretty things, and if beautiful skin is easy to achieve with just 10 minutes of work, why not, right?

The DUKE

Eversince I moved back into the nest, the DUKE has become my sole route to most of my destination; especially when I travel to the office. I think, in the past month, I only used the Setiawangsa route to go back once, the rest was on DUKE.

Yes, RM4 daily for the toll. But, I found that, it is a small sacrifice compared to spending hours in the traffic AND the heartache that comes with it. Not to mention, it has saved me from using bad words during Ramadhan!


Please be informed that this is NOT a paid post. I'm merely stating that, this is the most convenient expressway so far for people who are working in KL and living within the vicinity of it.

I had a meeting in Damansara one morning. Believe it or not, it only took me 10 minutes to reach my destination from the house! That is totally awesome okay! I believe that as long as I'm here, DUKE will definitely be my highway of choice.

Only thing that I have to bear with in the morning AND in the evening is the exit/entry at Jalan Semarak. But hey, the expressway still saves me about 40 minutes of travel time, and I can still be in the office in about 15 minutes. That is totally awesome!

Owh, in future... they might want to include a motorcycle lane. It's very dangerous for them. Seriously.

Read about DUKE.

p/s: salah satu projek kerajaan yang berjaya. I hope it's strong enough! And the MRR2 incident will not be repeated!

Eid, Day 9

I am back at work. After a weekend of celebration. Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly. If there were hiccups, nothing that we could not handled.

I am now, officially an SIL. Ha ha ha... And I sorta "acquired" not one sister, but four! It's fascinating, for someone who has lived all her life being the only female sibling in the family.

Mak is happy. Abah is happy. My brothers are happy. Everyone is excited. And they are gearing up for another session that is going in a couple of months.

As everything happens for a reason, and everything has it's own blessings, I am thankful for this journey that The Lord has made me walked on. I am blessed. I am happy. Alhamdulillah.

On the work side, these next three weeks will be one of the busiest period. I have to prepare for the exhibition next week. Luckily, I have someone helping to arrange for the traveling matters. Another blessing that I take for granted. Must remember to appreciate small little things.

My boss, as always, the ever demotivating soul that he is... I will blow your head with surprises dear boss, just wait and see. It is difficult to maintain a positive momentum day-in, day-out in this place when you have such a person to report to. But as usual, I shall prevail and I shall triumph! (I sound like some medieval conqueror... duh...)

Gotta go now! Have a blessed week everyone, be happy! It's not black Monday. It's just another day. Ta ta!

ps: Jade is looking forward to Thursday. He he he...

Eid, Day 5

It is almost 4:30 pm on a Thursday, the 5th day of Eid. I'm still at the office.

I desperately want to go back, but circumstances are not allowing me to do so very quickly. AND may not be very soon.

A travel plan is already in place, less than two weeks notice. Therefore lots of preparation need to be done; the paperwork, the equipment, the packaging, etc. And the more you want to do things quickly, the harder it becomes, more problem surface.

And tomorrow is my brother's nikah day. I still have few touch-ups to do on the hantaran.

Now, I was just informed that I need to review the packing list again. Haih.

Owh... why can't today be any easier...?

Such is life.

God, help me!
