Yes, It's A Good Life

In a way, accepting new responsibilities will really mean double, triple, quadruple the workload! And that's why my posts are getting sparse.

I'm also helping some nice people with some setting-up work on the side, which means my time is really optimized day in, day out. Asalkan bawak masuk rezeki, gua takde hal punya. Boleh gak simpan duit sket for the upcoming vacation graciously paid for by hubby terchenta. Nyam nyam! :P


Among the leisurely activities I managed to fit in my so-called busy schedule these past few weeks are Aizat & Faizal's concert (took the day off so I can spend some time with the kiddies before I go missing for a major part of the night hehe), bawak MIL jenjalan to IKEA (NEVER again on a weekend.. gah!), shopping trips with Mama here and there... dan bermacam2 lagi that could be too revealing to put in this wholesome family blog LOL.

Apa-apa pun, I just want to stress the importance of keeping family close to your heart.



*Runs off to give everybody a hug* :-)

Yes, I'll Get To It In A Moment

Yes, I'm Hooked

It's been a while since my last post, but I can assure you (yes, all two or three of you) that I do have a valid reason for slacking on my updates.

I got hooked on scrapbooking.

Bear in mind that I'm not a creative person when it comes to designing, so for practice I tried to do simple stuff first. Turns out it's not that hard after all, provided you have at least minimal knowledge of enche' potosop (even if minimal pun susah nak cecah, there are several tutorials online to help you get started)

This is what I started with:

And I ended up with this:

Seronot siot hahahaha! 

I'm having a wonderful time with this .. my next project will be for the kids. Maybe I can get a whole book done by Muadz's 1st birthday.. nyeh :P

Yes, It's Another Year

Hope it's not too late to wish everybody a happy 2010!

One more year to renew a lot of stuff; both material and immaterial.As for me, this year holds a promise. It's still unclear whether IT will make ITself available this year, so I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, it's business as usual.

So in the spirit of business, let me share a tip. This is for those who consistently have their work documents in a flash drive or an external drive, continue work when they're home, transfer updated files to the drive, bring it back to the office.. the cycle continues (yours truly one of them). Sometimes when there are too many files to work with, I tend to misplace, forgot which file is the updated one, or even worse - deleted the wrong version!

A search on enche' gugel brought me to SyncToy, proudly developed by the giants of computer operating software, enche' mikrosof. All I need to do now is to mark on SyncToy which folder or file to be synchronized, set the action (sync, echo, or contribute) and just click Run. Now I can just go home, work on the files, go to work the next day, just plug in my disk and run SyncToy once again. It will check for any updated versions on my disk and sync it with the one I have on the PC. No more copy-pasting!

No, I'm not paid by enche' mikrosof to promote this.

You can download SyncToy (it's free!) at enche' mikrosof's website here.

Yes, I Expected That

Expectations can also be called a state of anticipation, where we assume something would happen / not happen; or would be available / unavailable etc. Some would just blindly go ahead with additional plans, eventhough there are still possibilities that what they expected will not happen or materialize.

And suddenly the unexpected happens. Nak kaverline? In some cases, a bit too late for that already, seeing that the whole world knows about your plans, past, present and future. Nak let it go and move on? Easier said than done for some people. Maybe trying to let go will become easier, if you can drag someone else to hell and back just so you can get some personal satisfaction out of it.

Maybe we should learn not to expect anything. Just do our own 'thang'. If something does happen, it happens for a reason. What I've learned so far is this - expectations cloud your judgement.

Yes, I Remember

Throughout the day I was messing about my files on the PC, organizing my folders and deleting whatever I don't need. Then suddenly I felt the urge to reminisce. So I clicked on my huge MP3 folder.

It didn't help that I was on the verge of OD'ing on a large frapp, courtesy of Berg. The caffeine buzz definitely contributed to the fits of laughter each time I played a song from these fellas:

Remember them?

Gua gelak tak hengat! I went to check out their Greatest Hits tracklist on Amazon, and I can sing the words to 12 out of 14 songs, from memory! Who would've believed this, coming from me?

But I think the extra caffeine in my system is slowly persuading my subconscious mind to do things I don't normally do when I'm in my 'sober' self. (Note: I don't drink coffee on a daily basis. Probably only a couple of times a month, and if somebody buys me one. I'm 100% tea lover, thanks to mum)

Now I have the niggling urge to head to the nearest CD store and buy their greatest hits album. If you think I need to be stopped, please drop me a comment. LOL!
