Nutri for my face

Time to pamper my face before going to bed, my hubby snap this picture for me to blog...so nice of him to also make for me tumeric juice tonight.."thanks hubby".
Most important to me to pamper myself is to be greatful for HIS ( God) creation on me..reading the Holy Bible is so nourishing to my soul, a mask is just for external only.

Nice beach and relaxing..Desaru in Johor Bahru



Big ostriches farm in Sungai Rengit near Desaru, they sell ostrich satay and ostrich egg with drawing on it. The boss is a very nice man, very friendly and helpful...ex-pilot..for SIA.


hubby like to go for a swim and barbeque's in Desaru, nice place. ..Zoe will play with hubby ....while i enjoy my barbecue .

kid's will start drooling to see this on the table

My sister make this ..made of cookies , mix of chocolate, sweets, jelly beans and icing sugar
for her 2 beautiful -prince and princes...during Christmas.Nice? I like to look at it , how sweet and with so much love.

Reserved a little space for myself to do things i love so is my Zoe




I was busy cleaning today, suddenly i wonder where my little Zoe gone? how come no site of her? ohhh so she is rolling and having a good time in her little corner.

coffin boss! told me....eerrie..truth! but is the truth




Today me and 3rd brother went to the government department to get a death cert done for my (2ND brother death...some time ago) . While waiting for the things done , you know government department take quite long to do their works sometime right, so while waiting i met a lady coffin boss set beside me, we start to chit chat ..now i find out this from her! the latest method for prolonging death bodies is SUCK out all the blood of the death first from a big eerie needle dig dig dig she said!, she said better don't look- you get scared if you do see how they done it! then only inject with chemical again to the body! oh...though i know that when we die, we don't feel anything but i wont want this if i die...follow up she let me know the best is DRY COLD ice for THE DEATH ...but can only stand for 2 days, is fine 2 day's more than enough...if for my death one day to come...simple is the best.Have to face this facts, everyone of us have to come to this day right?

Another info from her is - if one die before 50 years old, withought sickness report from a doctor, sudden death the law now must let the hospital to operate the body and head to certify the reason of death...is a must now she told me! really meh? horrible...errrr ....enjoy life to the fullest while we still much alive!

Living Too Short; Dying Too Long



As i have always remind myself, live each moment as it come and live each day as it were my last...when will i die 40 years, 20,10,5 or today? It might be.. In reality, not one of us know how long we will live.Hubby and me drove to K.L. 3 months ago, on the way he remember the news he read about an accident that happened along the high- way 2 weeks ago, he stop exactly at the spot where the accident happen, we went down together just to take a look ...just wondering how it happen? that is what triggers in his mind, but on my side i start asking myself did this person who died in the accident tell his family how much he loved them? Did he love and live well? Maybe one thing is certain is that he still had things in his ''in basket'' that weren't yet done.Sadly, is easier to said than done , however, we act as if we're going to live for a long long time.We seems to postpone the things that, deep down, we know we want to do-i mention this not as a prescription to abandon our responsibilities, but to remind our self constantly how precious life really is...cherish the time while we still have it. Love and treasure every moment for life is so unpredictable, i wish you well.

Do you ever thought of having more stuff as your income get's better?


As we are living in a material world is natural to have desire to own more stuff as our financial capability improved over time. ..and I would said is a natural thing for all human, but before we do take this step to increase our stuff in whatever forms- car, house or other stuff...have we ever stop and think...? If we keep increasing our standard of living we will have to keep our life busier and busier or faster speed to earn more money, I don't mean that we shouldn't have nice things , but for me when we reach certain stage in our life we may want to have a more relaxing life instead of be ''a servant to yr servant''.

Material things don't necessary make us happy, happiness comes from within, by the way you relate to what you have, not from your actual possessions. To live at or beneath our means, we will discover a different type of abundance in our life-Peace. We will be able to stay calm and relax. I believe this is among the greatest gifts in a lifetime.

A Thousand Miles Start With A Single Step


Today is a very special day to me because i have always wanted to lose some weight...but just couldn't make it , lack of determination always...but today i vow to myself I will do it and I will achieve! whatever weight I want to lose, I know is not simple ..requires a lot of determination and always must stay focus on my vision.

Nothing is impossible! is all inside our mind and heart, is a choice. My main concerned is my health because as we age and if we put on weight gradually without us notice... this will lead to many unwanted health problem, is true.

I know a lady in Cameron Highland, she sells noodle in a coffee shop. She is so pretty to me but
she is so fat- 90 kg that is what she told me and age 35. After 5 months hubby and me went to Cameron again, we went to her shop for breakfast I almost could not recognize her, she is so slim now -56 kg! with her height that is perfect! She look younger and more prettier as she is already pretty actually. According to my survey she stop salties food, no sugar and oily stuff.. cut off only fruit , veg and lean meat...ya no rice too! for 4 months!....IS WORTH IT! VERY WORTH IT! she looks so good and feel so much lighter!

This lady truly inspires me a lot!





if she can do it, why cant i?

Hubby and me decided to travel to Bali to celebrate our 1 st Anniversary last year on June 11..A day we make a marriage vow together with God blessings after we know each other for 4 years*. Far seems the journey but short is the day, hubby and me enjoy our trip a lot!.We been to Bali before that was on our honeymoon but we join a tour package for 4 days 3 nights, we did not really have enough time to really see and feel the essence and exotic island of Bali, so for the second trip we went there on our own!!!..we stayed for 9 days! in the island! real exotic ! this time we really taste the essence of the Bali Island. Sharing 2 life in one .. to both of us means a lot though time seems short for a year but we been through a lot...a lot..only God knows... in a marriage is the beginning of a complete new journey, journey that requires both effort to accomplish, to embrace understanding, to sacrifice, to forgive and most of all to Love! Hubby is the one that suggest a holiday trip for our marriage anniversary , I sincerely appreciate his love and thoughtfulness.Thanks God for everything...This year he suggested too.....still planning where..? but I told him i prefer to travel on end of this year , but we will travel to some beautiful places in Malaysia for celebrating our anniversary's on next month, at least this time our little Zoe girl can come along!I don't have to miss her anymore like i did last year !!!!...

Things to beware in Bali!


- make sure to read the insurance policy carefully when you rent a jeep or any vehicle in Bali,we payed the insurance separately excluded the cost for rental...the policy written ..cover insurance for the vehicle engine only!!! tiny letters, Bali is a wonderful place with a lot of hikes and bums when driving around ...nice scenery indeed...but be careful when you drive, or else you your pocket going to have a big hole...!


Things that i enjoy!



-The unique architecture of the building structure , the beautiful scenery in the island, the massage and the local food! i miss the fried kampung chicken& sambal terasi! yum my....!!!hubby and me used hand to eat just like one of them, the Balinese! hehehe! in Balinese restaurant only ...not every where lah.
