Something cute that I bought via shopee

antara my latest shopping haul from shopee..

asalnya nak beli sepasang jer selipar nak letak kat opis (utk pakai masa dlm opis dan utk gi amik wuduk kat toilet)...tak sempat nak usha2 kat offline store..so cari kat shopee ajer...

tapi sbb nak dptkan free shipping, minimum amount of purchase kena cecah RM15 or more..so end up beli 3 pasang selipar!

RM13.11 ajer utk 3 psg,lps tolak discount voucher dan shopee coins...murahhhh lah kannn

wajiblah pinky2

yg ni ada love2/hearts tu..

yg ni ada gambar kepala teddy

what's your latest shopping haul from shopee?

happy weekend uolls!

Kucing angkat baru

Sejak bermula semester early last month, MZ dah tak parking kereta/singgah kat ICC ie tempat kucing angkat MZ nama kelabu tu...sbb pagi2 MZ kena berebut parking kat AIKOL (my faculty). Anyway, ada last week kot MZ singgah ICC jap tapi tak nampak pun kelabu..tak tau gi mana.

Now...kat AIKOL pun MZ ada kucing angkat laaa...setia menemani *tunggu) pagi2 bila MZ sampai, laju dia berlari ke kereta...kucing ni MZ tak tau nak bagi nama apa sbb tak cute mcm kelabu hahahhah warna dia campur2 oren-hitam.. MZ panggil dgn nama  'meow' ajer

MZ cat lover,

Sesi beramah mesra untuk minggu ini

MZ screenshot random jer ni yer...tq sbb sudi drop comments

MZ: ya betul, fanny suka bagi hadiah telekung..last year dia bg MZ hadiah telekung travel (MZ letak dlm kereta, in fact, MZ bwk telekung tu masa gi UK last year)..thn ni fanny bagi telekung siti khadijah yg sgt cantik!. barakallah fiiha.

lip balm tu MZ dh letak atas meja kat opis ni, anytime boleh pakai especially sebelum pergi kelas. tq tau carneyz. barakallah fiik

MZ: memang harga emas sekarang tak murahhhh especially kalau beli kat habib etc sbb ada kos workmanship jugak. cthnya kalau bracelet tu 5gm x RM595 = RM2975, tambah kos workmanship rm500 = RM3500 roughly...tu hanya 5 gm tuuuu

MZ: kos insurance memang ikut harga keta (current value)..roadtax plak..nanti MZ buat entry diary baby T yer psl benda ni.tq sbb sudi bertanya heheheh

MZ: cucu hahah lambat lagi kot kalau MZ nak bercucu..tapi kan, my batchmate, dah ada sorang yg mana anak dia dh kawin lasst year, memang my fren tu yg first kawin dlm our batch ie masa final year of study. rasa2nya thn ni or thn dpn dia akan timang cucu kot! umur 48 tu my fren!

MZ: tq sbb share..my tukang urut hari tu baik mesra ajer, cuma kuat sgt kot dia tekan/urut2 tu sampai i demam laaaa 1-2 hari lps tu kesan urutan..so rasa mcm serik jugakkk. lps ni rasa mcm nak try kat urban retreat spa (dlm KL east mall)

MZ: feeling dia of course lain! nervous pun tak sama mcm f2f laaa.. yg penting, dh setel tu...just kena siapkan correction ajer.

MZ: MZ sampai situ dh agak lewat so sebenarnya no giliran dah habis!! syukur ada sorang brother bg no giliran dia kat MZ sbb nampak MZ kalut2 tanya secuirty guard yg tgh jaga queue tu...no giliran kena amik online tau ie dlm apps...tak de dah manual2 ni...so memang limited numbers allocated for each session ie sesi pagi dan sesi tghari. (sama konsep mcm kat pej imigresen jugak rasanya ni)

tq uolls!

sudi2kan drop komen tau, nanti MZ reply dlm entry gini lagi yer.

have a blissful friday!

Countries that I have travelled so far

entry pagi tadi ada sebut pasal London kan (Cath Kidston)..so entry ni sambungan psl London lah..ie travel thingy..

terjumpa gambar ni kat FB rasanya...so tepek sini..ni must visit spots in London, if naik hop on hop off bus, memang senang nak cover almost all places dlm gmbr ni

Anyway, MZ bukannya frequent traveller tapi bersyukur sgt2 sbb Tuhan memberi rezeki utk menjejakkan kaki kat some of the countries...

uolls ada travel wish list ker...

Cantik branded tapi dah mula 'peeling off'

'peeling off' - menggelupas or terkopek (in kelantan this word is slightly sensitive as it has other meanings)

depending on material beg, especially kalau leather, memang akan mula rosak/peeling off tu after sometime especially kalau jrg2 pakai...even branded handbags pun boleh rosak...

bag ni material fabric ie yg warna pinky2 floral tu..tp part maroon tu adalah leather...MZ suka apa2 benda yg kaler2 pinky dan ada design floral (my other handbags collection brand Coach dan Kate Spade pun byk yg design floral jugakkk)

handbag ni brand Cath Kidston (UK brand)...MZ kirim kat my niece beli kat london, masa dia ke sana (rasanya tahun 2019 ie sebelum covid)

ada part of the handbag (yg warna maroon tu) adalah leather...so dh start menggelupas..MZ jrg pakai beg ni sbb MZ gilir2 pakai mcm2 beg ikut mood/ikut warna baju etc

rasanya harga handbag ni RM300+ or RM400+ (lps convert pound to RM)..dh ingat2 lupa sbb dh agak lama jugakk...dan brand ni dah tak de jual kat physical store/shop, Masa my niece beli tu, memang kat butik.kedai Cath Kidstone @London...

now, kat online ada lagi dijual cuma dh tak byk collection/choices)

MZ handbag lover,

When Garfield visited my lil blog

...virtual visit of course...and when I went to visit 'him' back, I discovered that his blog is in Portuguese language (but I can easily click for English translate button).

The comment that Garfield wrote at my blog (3rd Nov)

I asked chatGPT to translate the comment

This is Garfield's blog/blogger..it is in Portuguese but this screenshot is after I click the prompt button 'English translate'

Truthfully, Garfield was my favourite cat cartoon when I was in high school and during my undergraduate years (1996-2000)...many2 years ago... I still remember, I have a collection of Garfield stuff/merchandize--bag, soft toys, pillow cover, mattress spreadsheet, fluffy cushion, table deco, even my curtain (in mahallah/hostel) was in Garfield design/motive. But those days, there was no digicam so there's no pictures to throwback..

Other than watching Garfield cartoon series on tv, I also watched Garfield the Movie in cinema..

Even until today at the age of late 40s, Garfield still has a soft spot in my heart ;)

The best time to shop for new clothes...

..is of course time nak raya....but other than raya..for my lil family, kami akan beria shopping baju/pakaian baru kalau nak gi travel ke mana2 especially kalau travel abroad..

even kalau travel local pun, kalau naik flight dan destinasi agak jauh, so justified lah nak shopping baju beria!!

hari ahad lps, kami pergi shopping kat Uniqlo KLCC...sbb outlet kat KLCC ni antara yg agak besar dan byk choices koleksi baju2nya..

MZ tak de snap pic time shopping tu (tak dtg mood nak snap2 pic)..

so snap pic hasil shopping ajer.. ni utk 4 pax ie MZ and 3 boys...mr hubby tak beli bj baru, dia kata, pakai mana yg dh sedia ada ajer! for razeen, 2 helai tshirt dan 2 helai sweatpants, for MZ, one sweatpants (MZ 1st time beli sweatpants for myself esp brand Uniqlo), for ariff, sehelai tshirt dan sehelai sweatpants, dan for zharfan, sehelai sweatpants.

bukan selalu pun kami shopping berjamaah one shot gini...tapi happy dan syukur dpt shopping bersama2 and we really look fwd to our family holiday this coming weekend :) moga smooth semuanya aamiin

uolls suka brand Uniqlo tak?

my boys suka brand ni sbb selesa cantik trendy dan insya Allah, long lasting jugak (high quality).

Cubaan mengurangkan gula

"kurangkan gula dlm minuman, lebihkan 'gula' dalam senyuman gitu..."

MZ konon-kononnya berazam nak reduce sugar...nak guna perkataan cut sugar mcm payah/misleading pulak sbb most of our food ada hidden sugar kan especially carbo based...even kicap ada gula, sos cili ada gula..haishhhhh gitulah situasi mknn kat msia ni.

pengganti gula...selain stevia, MZ ada try guna sweetener yg ni... nama dia lakanto...MZ beli kat watsons jer ni

MZ tanya chatGPT...

“Lakanto” ialah jenama pemanis semula jadi yang terkenal, terutamanya digunakan sebagai pengganti gula dalam diet rendah karbohidrat (low-carb), keto, atau bagi mereka yang ingin kurangkan gula.

✔ Apa sebenarnya Lakanto?

Lakanto ialah pemanis tanpa kalori yang dibuat daripada gabungan:

• Erythritol (sejenis sugar alcohol yang hampir tiada kalori), dan

• Monk fruit extract (buah Luo Han Guo dari China, sangat manis tetapi tiada kalori).

✔ Rasa?

Rasanya hampir sama seperti gula biasa, tapi:

• Kurang memberi lonjakan gula darah

• Tiada aftertaste kuat seperti sesetengah pemanis lain

sblm2 ni MZ guna stevia...memang ada 'aftertaste' ie manis2 pahit gitu..

lakanto ni so far ok jer kat lidah MZ...MZ buat air teh o letak lakanto ni lah..so ada rasa manis yg suam2 ie sikit jer manis nya, of course tak sama mcm gula putih/gula perang etc. tapi bila MZ google info, mcm tak bagus sgt la erythritol ni...so lps ni, MZ back to stevia lah..safer choice katanya (based on google)

hrp2 MZ dpt reduce sugar intake la..memang kena say bye2 to teh tarik (yg biasanya MZ order kat kedai mamak/restoran) 

Rambang mata nak makan apa

hari jumaat lepas, MZ ajak zharfan repeat gi breakfast kat TGSK..sbb MZ nak mkn something...

byk sgt pilihan makanan...rambang mata jugaklah nak buat decision nak mkn apa tapi memang dh ada siap2 benda yg nak dimkn

zharfan order pulut kuning dan rendang ayam (harga RM10)

ni kat meja yg ada kuih muih mcm2 jenis dan warna

semua nampak sedap!

ni antara yg MZ sukaaa

karipap pusing inti daging ni siyes sedap..MZ order sebiji..share mkn dgn zharfan, then order lagi sebijik utk tapau (mkn kat rumah plakkk)

tadaaaa nilah benda yg MZ aim nak makan ie lontong darat! letak lauk paru. ni harga RM12...memang kena dgn citarasa MZ ni! portion byk so hampir2 tak habis mkn sorang

mkn berdua, total bills RM33 (termasuk segelas teh o ais kami share jer)

alhamdulillah atas nikmatNya.

Viva

kisah Khamis lps...MZ was one of panel for viva (phd thesis)..

alhamdulillah the session went well...and the candidate passed with minor correction. student tu from Maldives, so viva was conducted online.

A viva voce is an oral examination of your thesis which gives you the opportunity to defend your thesis and assists the examiners.

just nak tepek muka MZ ajerrrr

bila attend viva org punya, teringat viva sendiri...mine was wayback in 2011!! many2 years ago lahh of course face to face, kat Nottingham Uni, UK. (just a lil throwback).

have a nice day uolls!
