What a girl wants or rather what a SAHM needs...

Walk-In-Wardrobe (WIW)... did i get the spelling correct?

Let me start, the first time I heard & seen it was way 20 odd years ago where my neighbour on the 4th floor , Cik Yati converted her only store room into a WIW... how delighted I was each time her daughter Kak Ebel invited us over, I always loved to sneak in into her WIW.. and yes it was carpeted. The fact is her whole house was carpeted. Its that kind of design I wish to embrace and at the same time staying put to the fact that I love cozy homes. I was there for a few years, I meant living at blk 438 JW where most of the decor ideas was from my parents... I love staying there for the best reasons, the wall-paper outside my bedroom... a serenity evolves each time I looked at it and of course the next best was Cik Yati's WIW... How much a girl wants it badly as her fantasy or much as I can confess, its more like a SAHM's dream for now.

I read about it each time I flip the magazines, each time I browse the internet & of course each time some friends who said that they just moved in to their new unit & OMG ''definitely I will built it even if its not as huge or luxury enough like the Beckams!!''...

And just hours ago, I spoke to my second-generation cousin - Kak ani on how whe yearns for WIW. How I envy her on her bags collection & shes done with it, the only thing left is her WIW and she is planning for it to happen.

When will it be my turn? Insya Allah I am planning.... The future is unpredictable babe... But I will one day embrace the needs...Its a therapy any woman will want it if given a choice & of course if 'Buying Power' permits...

me & my WIW...

Sufi's P1 Orientation

Today early morning, Sufi having his P1 Orientation Class while parents attending talk by few panels on how to prepare your child for the new Primary 1 expectations. And at the same time, we have to register for trasportation and PreOrder his school uniforms. As expected deposits for all of these are over few hudred bucks. But above all, its worth a penny spent. And the best part Sufi will be in the same class as his maternal 2nd Cousin - Haidah.
But the girl in the picture above is not Haidah, its my hubby's colleague's daughter - Amaani Bte Khairie... she's adorable! Walking around with her daddy's jacket.

Water

Dehydration is a big word to remember, each time i felt thirsty, each time I sweat through my shirt and each time my kids sounded so cracky in their voices and each time after I breastfed my youngest son, Furqan that I am reminded of my dehydration days in yr2003 when I was pregnant with my eldest son, Sufi. I kept on drinking, drinking & drinking plain water non-stop due to the dehydration sensation. I can always think of a way to waste time or procastinate whenever I ran out of water, too lazy to fill up the jar but after I went into a state of dehydration my mindset changed. I started drinking extra more to keep me dehydrated. To me, 8 glasses of water is enough but how can it be enough when I am loosing lots of energy through my sweat? I was hospitalised due to dehydration. And I suddenly understand the needs to drink lots of water. Recently, I was told that water is clean to drink but not sure if its safe to drink... What does it means? I am still searching while keeping myself dehydrated, I wish I am able to learn more about it...

My afterbirth resolution...

So whats that my girlfriend asked me, AFTERBIRTH RESOLUTION instead of NEW YEAR RESOLUTION (NYR)... I have tonnes of it. Of course not NYR as when it comes, its the time where I am busy preparing for the new school semester for my kids... I just cant fit in any into my schedule!
No.1 - To pass my Final Theory before I can proceed to Practical
No.2 - Continue with my untouched, Scrapbooking projects...
No.3 - Planting if I can managed as a therapy for myself
No.4 - Provided I bring down my sewing machine and start on my quilting (otherwise, will buy some new quilt)
I think theres more but thats all that I can think of for now = D
