the new thing'

it's been a while since the last post.. the workload is piling up as a result of me attended a 4days course at MMC last week and my staff was on leave for 4 days.. nothing much to write about.. planned to write more on personal financial planning learnt that day but maybe next entry lah.. just finished reading Yati's post about her renewed hobby - reading.. love reading but had never successfully ended it as a hobby.. love Sydney Sheldon's book (but didn't remember a single title, duh!), the storyline is fast and not dragging.. tried Jefrey Archer but never ended reading it.. so, the conclusion is, i'm really not a bookworm, unlike my twin friends, Aini & Aida.. they love reading sooo much, since ever i knew them 13 years ago (uhh, how time flies.. =)

oh, not to forget the new 'thing', it's actually to start being more nature-friendly, by doing some sort of gardening or maybe as a start, i rather name it as planting.. hubby was a bit skeptical when i first told him about this new thing.. started with this idea when we bought our house in Shah Alam, and I was so excited to have my very own-made garden later on.. Arwah mak loves gardening so much!.. she really loves to plant cactus few years before she passed away (and we did plant one of her cactus on her grave, as to accompany her there.. =) and I want to do things she like..

to begin, requested some money-plant from my Aunt 2 weeks ago, bought a white porcelain vase to place the money-plant and place it on my desk in the office.. my aunt told me to put some water in the vase as to grow the plant.. so little effort right? but unfortunately, the plant didn't grow healthily as i anticipated.. not as healthy as my deskmate's plant.. is it because of the aircond? not really i guess.. maybe i should study more about this field before i started greening my very own-made garden years to come.. ^_^

i find those who loves planting as patient and caring (mcm my MIL). But anyway, i should also find a way (and time too !) for me to do something other than my daily routines (kerja, jaga anak, jaga rumah, jaga hubby..).
Julie punya new hobby - to be nature-friendly, has awaken me to do something for my self.. TQ TQ.

yes Ul yg comel.. sometimes our daily chores made us a very monotonous & boring person.. we should spice up our life! doing new things, now everyday balik keje sure dok kepingin nak singgah nursery pokok tapi selalunya dah tutup.. maybe nak try pi tgk weekend nih.. hehe.. bela pokok lagi ni bagus, nanti dia zikir kat Allah.. dapat jugak pahala kat kite.. plus, watching green plant on your desk make your eyes fell fresh!!

huhu...make sure jaga those pokok elok2, baru diorang zikir...jangan nti awk dera pokok tuh (x siram) n harapkan zikir dari mangsa dera...

saya pon ada hobby baru...besides reading buku2 n apa2 yg ada these words in bracket (rich, money, millionaire, save, marketing, selling, communication)...sy skang tgh buat kawan...

since i'm alone in Kedah, i decided to know at least 3 person per week...mcm2 cara pelik saya buat tapi best gak...latest, sy dapat member konstabel polis kat IPK Kedah...hahaha lepas nih x takut kena saman dah la...

abang, making frens is very good.. especially in getting opportunities to expand your business.. manalaa tahu lepas ni bleh supply alatulis ke polis ke.. hehe.. kalau dapat dari setiap negeri lagi bagus.. kalau awak travel around senang nak tumpang stay.. =)

heh.. tulah kalau dera pokok tuh sure laa dia tak zikr.. hehe

i wonder how people can be attracted so much to indulge reading novels...i gave a try to "Da Vinci Code" and seriously, it is so not for me...i admit that the style of writing is really amazing but i prefer to wait for the movie...baru baca about 20 pages then i grabbed another book (How to be a Millionaire Landlord by Azizi Ali) to avoid falling asleep...haha...FYI, i watched all Harry Porter's movie but had never read the books...my bad...

nak tahu tak, my dear husband dulu tak suka benar gardening. aku pula suka tgk, tp nak menanam tak gheti. suddenly, ideas popped up in his head, dan tetiba dlm masa 2,3 minggu je, aku nengok rumah dah berseri dgn pokok dlm pasu dan sbgnya. tu sindir jugak tu, rumah lam ada tanah, tak beriya pun dia menanam. rumah sekarang, semua duk dlm pasu je la dah semuanya bersimen.

kalau rasa nak menanam, better start now, hehe

part buku ni kan, books are way much better. cuba baca Harry Potter. first book, try je. sure terpengaruh nak baca lagi

kalo nak gardening, kena la ajin2 borak ngan pokok tu...kata orang, kalo kita slalu sembang, nti pokok to lagi segar n bugar...hoho ntah betoi ntah idak...

harry porter tu, memang most orang kata buku dia lagi best dr movie...i think naybe sebab bila kta baca buku, kita leh imagine yg gempak2, tapi bila tgk movie, loorrr macam tu jer ker...insyaAllah i'll read the books in the future (bilo tue)...
