Edisi Masuk Rumah: Anak Pertama

Ketika pergi ke kenduri doa selamat jiran..

Neighbour's Mom: Ini anak nombor berapa? (sambil tunjuk ke perut Hane)
Emak Hane: ooOooh yang first...
Neighbour's Mom: ooOh, untunglah ye, anak pertama lagi dah ade rumah sendiri

hmmm..tak pernah terfikir pula macam tu, tapi betul juga. Alhamdulillah..and MOST IMPORTANTLY, kami masuk rumah, renovate dan beli barang sepuas hati tanpa berhutang. Credit to Hannan yang pandai simpan duit dan isterinya yang pandai lagi bijaksana dan kreatif menghias rumah.

Financially, Hane menyumbang 37.5% sahaja and there goes 3 Chanel handbags..huhu tapi apa yang penting? Rumah yang selesa tanpa bebanan hutang..

Kitchen in the making

Cleaner - Highly recommended..!

Air-cond people hard at work

Budget Raya 2011

Wah, dah 9 hari berpuasa rupanya. Alhamdulillah, at 5 months preggy, puasa masih penuh (so far)..insyaAllah dapat berpuasa penuh tahun ini.

Just nak share budget raya Hane, bukan amount ye, just items dalam budget raya..

Category A: Duit Raya

A1. Duit Raya Emak

A2. Duit Raya Ayah

A3. Gift untuk ibu mertua

A4. Duit Raya Adik & Adik ipar

A5. Duit Raya anak buah bawah 3 tahun

A6. Duit Raya anak buah bawah 3-12 tahun

A7. Duit Raya anak buah bawah 13-17 tahun

A8. Duit Raya kanak-kanak di kampung

A9. Duit Raya anak kawan-kawan

A10. Duit Raya others/misc

Category B: Persiapan Raya untuk diri sendiri

B1. Baju Raya

B2. Tudung Raya

B3. Sandal Raya 1 - untuk pakai balik kampung, kena cari yang selesa & flat

B4. Sandal Raya 2 - untuk pakai open houses kawan, yang ini boleh la nak vogue sket

B5. Make up

B6. Kuih raya untuk makan sendiri (selain dari ambil dari rumah emak)

Category C: Persiapan Raya di rumah emak

C1. Pre-raya preparation #1 - untuk emak buat kuih raya. kalau rajin je booking macam-macam and berbalang-balang kuih emak tu kan, kena la menyumbang. memang la emak tak minta, tapi...sendiri mahu ingat la ye. beri mid bulan puasa or selalunya shopping terus sekali dengan emak beli bahan-bahan

C2. Shopping raya - nak raya selalu akan keluar shopping dengan emak dan nieces (ada 2 orang yang memang duduk dengan emak), so sambil shopping barang sendiri, biasanya akan belikan mereka barang raya juga e.g. tudung, sandal

C3. Pre-raya preparation #2 - untuk emak beli bahan masak di pagi raya, contohnya daging, ayam, nasi himpit, ketupat etc. beri sekali terus hujung puasa dengan duit raya untuk emak

C4. Raya - saudara mara dan kawan-kawan datang visit semua di rumah emak. tetamu datang beraya kena lah jamu kan? dan biasanya untuk tetamu yang Hane tak kenal, Hane wakilkan emak je bagi duit raya

Category D: Transportation

D1. Service kereta - target lepas dapat bonus PB bulan 8 ini :)

D2. Toll charges - nak jalan jauh kan

D3. Minyak/Gas - of course kena budget extra masa bulan raya

Tak masuk rumah lagi raya ini, so tiada la budget untuk raya untuk rumah sendiri. If not sure lagi banyak dalam budget list..!

Phew~ memang banyak belanja time raya ini kan? Ramai yang akan kata "...asalkan ikhlas..", ahaks, iye memang Hane setuju, tapi kalau memang ada extra income, CONFIRM laaaagi ikhlas.

Reno Deco and Loan

Taken from New World, Bintulu hotel lounge. Cantik tak? I'm in the midst of renovating and decorating our home. Thot of putting one of the wall like this..

Cakap pasal nak masuk rumah..pheww~ ingatkan kahwin/wedding mahal kan?? Ini lagi mahal..kalau takde rm60k cash..well, boleh la..masuk rumah alas tikar getah tapi kalau nk selesa + hotel inspired..sila saving dari sekarang.

No wonder selalu dengar orang buat loan untuk renovate rumah. Loan kahwin dah settle? Kalau buat dengan FaMaloan.com maybe boleh buat-buat lupa je la kan, or minta halal..hehe.

Alhamdulillah, kami kahwin guna duit sendiri tanpa perlu guna FaMaloan.com atau buat personal loan at bank..and nak masuk rumah pun dah ada some cash put aside.

and with PB biz, i can finally contribute financially to the family. at least part nak travel every year is taken care of, kan? We had a blast in Hong Kong..next trip is to Holland+Belgium woot woot..Or the very least, Hane fikir, kalau nak shopping tu tak payah la nak kacau family fund dah kan?

Oh dont get me wrong, etho hane pun bekerja, well gaji pun ok juga la.. tak contribute pun to the "family fund". ALL family expenses and bills mmg husband yang bayar, but i'm just thinking, if not contributing, i dont want to be a burden with desires and demands. But nama pun perempuan kan...panjang sungguh list kemahuaan kita tu. (itu yang susah nak contribute tu :p) Kalau bukan untuk diri sendiri, untuk suami juga. And yang ada anak, untuk anak-anak kan?

Ok,how come dari reno deco sampai ke sini. I better stop now. Actually i have to stop sbb flight attendant dah jeling..bye-bye

Dah Kaya? Getting There…

Q1: Kau dah kaya keeeee..???

Q2: Bila nak pakai beemdoubleuuuu..???

Q3: Bila nak resignnnnnn…???

Ahaks, these are the most frequent questions from my “friends”.

Insya-Allah, insya-Allah, insya-Allah is all I can say. Terima kasih banyak-banyak mendoakan kejayaan dan kesenangan hidupku ini ye.

When I started doing Premium Beautiful biz, what were my targets?

1. nak pakai set Premium Beautiful PERCUMA…TICKED

2. nak recover modal…TICKED, achieved within 2 weeks

3. nak paid off credit card debts (~17k++)…Alhamdulillah, settled dah hutang credit card

4. nak free travel ke Hong Kong for two…TICKED, and dapat qualified kan another 4 tixs for my biz partners juga

Then…. there’s not on the list

5. purchased of my first home, Saville @Melawati which costs me rm40k for deposit.

So, whats next?

6. maintain zero balance credit card while still enjoying nice food, nice clothes, pampering here n there etc…I require at least extra rm1.5k per month to do that. Ini tak kira raya..*sigh*

7. shopping money at Hong Kong, rm10k à dh ready. weehuuu..:)

8. Alhamdulillah rumah dah siap and I need $$$ for some reno and deco of master bedroom approx rm18k.

9. Build emergency fund, increase saving, investments...approx rm3k per month.

10. berbakti ke jalan Allah (cewah..) e.g. bagi parents/wedding gift/newborn gift/duit raya/help friends & families in need

So to simply answer Qs #1, NO, tak kaya duit ribu-ribu dlm bank and still far from it. But I’m not stress financially and I get to ~~spend~~ live as I wish without having to be secretive about my ~~credit card balance~~ financial status with my husband.

Q #2, Change car? Frankly, I don’t have enough cash to pay the deposit…..yet. And looking at necessity in life that keeps coming e.g. target #8 and #9, this might have to be put on hold just a lil while.

and Q #3, resign?? Why?? I don’t LOVE my job but I don’t HATE it too, I don’t remember bitching about it all the time (sometime yes la..who doesn’t?). Btw, it pays good money which could easily cover my bills. And it comes with epf and good medical benefits too (etho even if I resign I still could enjoy the medical benefit on my husband’s account haha)..YES, memang ada plan to resign, even before starting this Premium Beautiful biz… just there is no rush to it. Currently, I’m ok with my job, I like my boss, I like my colleagues.

So that’s about it. I have my priorities (well, hannan will def alter the list and budget after he read this, aaahhh the joy of married life :p)

Anyhow, for someone yang started the biz with zero, actually minus and in deep shit..i’m content and happy yet still striving still for the best. Teruskan mendoakan ~~kekayaan~~ kejayaan Hane ye..:)

Bila Dah Buat Silap

al-kisahnya, for the past 3 days, husband asyik tanya kt wife dia

him: name card sime darby yang ade no banker tu ade kat awak kan?

her: tak de..!

(dgn confidentnye so that husband dia taktau dia tgh pk kt mana dia letak name card tu which could lead to discussion tukar handbag, kena kemas brg dlm handbag, tak payah beli handbag baru and alll unnecessary items)

tapi kat office, tetiba nampak card tu atas workstation uhuk*uhuk

so, for minor mixed up...bila dah silap,

1. mengaku

2. pull off your asset/charm/sweet-ness/cute-ness

Honeymoon in the City

We checked in Shangri La, KL 25 – 26 dec 2010 for our mini honeymoon.

Rumah di KL, kerja pun kat tengah-tengah KL, so why la pilih KL kan for honeymoon kan?

Ooooh..tapi itu la sebab nya..supaya tak sibuk nak keluar tengok apa ada kat luar. KLCC? Breakfast, lunch and after work arrangement selalu sangat dah kat situ. Pavillion? Weekend hangout, suka food court Pavillion. Mid Valley? Our fav place to eat Carl’s Jr and tengok movie. The Garden’s? before pergi Mid Valley, suka window shopping at their boutiques.

(why to-do-lists banyak shopping centre je..?)

So, kira boleh enjoy the room la..bila bayar bilik hotel sendiri ni, rasa nak gunakan sepenuhnya semua kemudahan yang ada. Plus save on travelling time la..then bila travel, penat la pula.

Harga pun tak mahal la..less than rm500 (weekend rewards rate ), normal price rm700++

and considering 5 star hotel, tengah-tengah KL dan di hujung minggu plus these complimentaries

Free internet connection in room. Ok, sound lame tapi…banyak je hotel kat KL ni tak include kan free internet tau
Free Parking. Again, sound lame again tapi…I know a hotel yang charge in house customer untuk parking. Sangat annoying!

Yang bestnya adalah these two complimentaries

Complimentary buffet breakfast for two at Lemon Garden Café – OMG..the breakfast is one of the best and I’ve tasted all hotel within 5km radius of KLCC.

[slideshow]

Yes, bila tengok all these food..i’m thinking “thank god for PB”

And it’ll cost walk in customers this much for the buffet breakfast..!!

Complimentary late check out at 4pm – lepas breakfast masih sempat enjoy the room :P

(Yes, masa ini pun berfikir “nasib baik ada PB, ada lagi stamina..” :P)

Upon arrival, dapat pink roses and di-upgrade-kan dari deluxe room ke executive suite..yeay~

(tips: during booking, write down your special event. In my case, it was for our wedding anniversary)

The service e.g. receptionist, door bell, concierge etc memang 5 star. At first nak makan kat Arthur’s Grill tapi the concierge informed that their menu will be Christmas menu. So our other option was Victoria’s Station. The concierge voluntarily made the booking for us. Luckily he did, because VS was so full that night.

All in all, for quick weekend getaway or mini honeymoon, no need to travel far. Instead of bayar transportation fees, boleh book a nice hotel nearby and enjoy their facilities…:)

Thank you to my hubby for all the pampering

31^st July 2010, Sat: Cakap kat husband nak pegi “jalan-jalan” Bond Street…ahaks. He bought me LV Totally yea..!

1^st Aug – 6^th Aug 2010: Vacationing at Prague and Amsterdam

Haruslah bawa handbag baru kan pergi jalan-jalan… hehehe

(I’m not the type yang simpan handbag dalam laci.suka tukar-tukar handbag)

And dengan confidentnya tak bawa second handbag.. pakai pula baju hitam yang baru beli…

BIG MISTAKE..!!

(oh! Bulat nya kami. Note: this is pre-PB hehe)

Just arrived at Prague Airport..Ooohh..the bag was only 1 day old, so bright and cantik and I stain it with black jumper…huhu sorrryyy LV II.

So…there are stain at handle and canvas due to rubbing effect. Huwaaa…tengah-tengah holiday siap boleh google on how to erase the stain. Guess what is the tips?

ERASER…ahaha

Ahaks..siap pegi cari stationeries store kat Amsterdam… tak sempat sampai rumah, atas tram dah cuba try test the eraser tips. It works..! u just use the eraser to erase the stain.

“tengok awak, hilangkan??..”

Ya, husband saya dengan setianya (ke pasrah?) tengok wife die stain the handbag he just bought and tried to rectify it.

That’s all folks.

Eat, Live, Laugh

Had a greaattt weekend in Alor Setar. Not my hometown, but my husband side. Saya mewakilkan satu family dia yang not available.

Datang sorang, duduk pula kt rumah yang kenduri. Memang asyik kena makan la. Setiap time makan kena makan and semua kena rasa. Part minum pagi, petang, makan & minum masa sedara mara datang takyah cakaplah.

3 hari pesta makan. Buat keje nya sket je. Iyela,zaman orang katering and door gifts pun tempah kan.

Balik kl, agak pasrah. Mula-mula nak tunggu sehari dua baru timbang balik tapi..... Nak tau juga berapa banyak naik,senang nak target turun. Dup dap dup dap juga ni. Hmm.. Naik je la,

Normally, my weekend eating fiesta will definitely gain me 2-3 kgs. Dah standby la 2.5 kgs naik...

Nervous nya nak timbang. Prepared mentally. Step on the scale.... Huh?
Betul ke? Turun balik, tap the scale, naik balik... Waaaa, naik 0.3kg sahaja...!!! Siap fikir, ooh ni kalau pegi toilet sekali leh settle berat ni..ahaks

Alhamdulillah. Nampaknya, my metabolism is not as fuc*ed up as before. Gembira nya rasa dapat join family gathering aka makan-makan sessions. Tak perlu bawa berbotol-botol meal replacement and control portion macam nak gila. Best-best..!!
