Four months in, my first 2016 post.

Saya seorang yang pemalu. I am a shy person. I don’t sing in public. I don’t do public speaking. I don’t talk to people I do not know. I am cursed with my resting bitch face. People often mistaken me for being so sombong. I am not sombong. I just do not know how to start small talk with people I am not close to. So kenapa nak mula bisnes yang terang – terangan and amat nyata kita kene bercakap dengan orang?

To be honest, I was not brought up in a business minded family. Tapi selalu rasa nak ada bisnes sendiri sebab rasa puas kalau dapat jual barang kita sendiri. I always wanted to be surrounded with beautiful things. I have always been interested in fashion and beauty. Although I’m far from being creative, hence I can’t design, but as a woman who loves shopping, I want to sell those things.

Pernah dulu pergi interview dengan FashionValet masa FV baru sangat start. Rasanya masa tu baru setahun lebih FV started. I met Vivy and Fadza at BSC for the interview after work for dinner / interview. Sangat chill sebab I still remember I told Fadza I couldn’t come for an interview on weekdays during working hour and they don’t work on weekend so he asked me to come for an interview after work. Masa tu masih bekerja dekat GEDS and they just promoted me and naikkan gaji so when Fadza asked me what was the salary that I wanted and I told him, dia memang sangat truthful cakap they cannot afford me sebab they can only pay fresh grad salary. Mungkin I should have started from zero again tapi dengan commitment ada rumah and baby, rasa sangat tak mampu untuk start from zero again. And look where FashionValet is now. So proud of how far they go. Memang takda rezeki bekerja with FashionValet tapi rasa sangat bersyukur nonetheless. Sebab along the way up until now, sebab obviously we cannot turn back the time, so I don’t feel any regret of the choices that I made sebab semua pun pasti Allah dah aturkan.

Lepaskan impian dengan FashionValet, terus berangan dan berharap dapat kerja dengan Sime Darby. Sebab I do not have any fashion background so memang tak tahu macam mana nak start in this kind of business, so kuburkan minat and focus dekat ability and qualification yang ada. Actually macam tak percaya je dapat kerja Sime Darby sebab process dia sangat cepat. Dalam sebulan lebih hantar resume, panggil for an interview, within a month dah dapat.

During the time am working, niat nak bisnes sentiasa ada. So I started buat dropship Kaylena Beauty which I still use until now cuma dah tak jual. Sempat betul-betul jual dalam setahun je sebab stokist yang handle the stock quit and I sangat comfortable working with them. So bila they quit, I decided to quit as well although I still buy from time to time directly dekat Leuniey. Terkubur balik impian berbisnes.

Masa pregnant Aayden, I told Nally I realllllllyyy wanted to start selling something tapi taktau nak jual apa. Lepas tu ada idea nak jual tudung. WHY? Sebab that’s the in-thing right now and sebab selalu shopping tudung. Nally ni dibesarkan dalam family otak business. So dia la yang sangat sangat sangat push for me to just start. Dia dah bebel suruh start before beranak, after beranak habis pantang baru pergi beli kain. Kene bebel dengan mama sebab tiap-tiap hari after habis pantang keluar.

Nak jugak bagi credit to my primary school friend. Tak rapat pun time sekolah tapi now, selalu beli baju, tudung etc dekat dia sebab dia dah lama start her own business.  Surprisingly, dia sangat sangat sangat tak kedekut ilmu or any information or even sapa supplier dia. Apa I tak tahu I Tanya, semua dia jawab. She told me her experiences in starting business and advise me on a lot of things. Bagi semangat pun ada. So thank you Putri Ereka. You have no idea how much you have help me by giving me the strength to start something new with your pep talk. She sells Ereka Jusoph shawls and have another business that sells tops, skirts etc. calls Colour Cycle Boutique.

So start beli kain, that was in December. Dari mula-mula nak buat bisnes kecik – kecik je, modal pun really small, bila dah discuss with family members, bende yang kecik, tudung biasa je, packaging pun ingat nak plastic bag je terus jadi a proper business with our own design of hijab, with our own label, our own brand, own company registered with SSM, our own packaging. It has been almost 5 months now.

Some people yang dah experience boleh start bisnes dalam sebulan. It took us 5 months because we wanted to cater to the public something new and different, convenient and practical. For now kami start dengan semi-instant with attached inner and mystery added features that will be revealed soon. Eventually we will come up with design for instant hijab (yes we all need this) and our own abayas. Ada cita-cita, ada harapan, ada impian.

I leave everything to Allah. Whether this venture will be successful or not, I hope I did not go against His will. Bila dah buat everything dan tak tahu apa lagi nak buat, doa doa doa doa. Everything happens by the will of Allah.

So please do support us by following Myanur Official at Instagram and Myanur at Facebook. Thanking all of you in advance.

 Ps: My first post totally rojak, irresponsibly mixing English and BM language. tsk tsk. My sister, the grammar police,would kill me seeing me writing like this.

 

:: Missing This Space::

I was reading back on my past posts, especially in 2011 as I was looking for the name of the shop that I bought my wedding favours in Nilai 3. Oh well, could not find it but instead I found out how I miss writing again. Looking at the journey of getting engaged and married, the preparation that went into it, the details, I was feeling melancholic. I would not have remembered anything if it was not for my writing back then.

I’ve been writing since high school and had numerous blogs; you should know if you have been following me back then. All about high school, love life (only one man for the past 12 years *gasps*), university life, studies and arguments and girlfriends, graduation and work, engagement and marriage even up to having a baby.

Don’t you feel that, you have grown up with me?

I missed a couple of years of updates and of course Audreyna’s development (my feisty 3 years old).

But today, let me start with this second pregnancy.

I wanted my babies to have a 2 year gap between them, but God has a better plan and decided that I should be pregnant this year. I found out I was pregnant on Nally’s birthday. We were at Cameron Highland celebrating his birthday. Because this was a planned pregnancy (meaning I’ve timed my ovulation date, were keeping track of my basal temperature, were super alert to any changes in my body every month, doctor’s check-up monthly to check on the eggs), I had an inkling that THIS IS THE MONTH.

I didn’t tell Nally of course. I told him to stop by the pharmacy on the way there because I forgot to bring shampoo and whatnot ( excuses, excuses), and later that evening as I was so impatient (I didn’t even missed my period yet, it was due a day after), I did the test. At first it only showed one line, I was understandably upset, sitting alone in the bathroom with Nally asking what was I doing in there as he had to use the toilet.

Thankfully, I didn’t immediately throw the test away. As I wanted to open the door, I saw a faint double line. I know it was a double line as I’ve been waiting for more than a year to see that, so even though it was faint at first, it gets darker. There’s no mistake. I AM FINALLY PREGNANT!!!!!!

I think that’s the best birthday present I could give Nally this year ;) although he’s complaining he had to wait 10 months for the actual present to arrive. This baby is due next month I can’t hardly believe it.

Current week: 34 weeks

Gender: A BOY ( I was quite confident about this as this was a planned pregnancy so I was aiming for a boy, Alhamdullilah)

Baby’s Weight: 1.6kg

Mummy’s weight: 57kg.

This bit is stressful for me. With Audreyna the heaviest I was, was 54kg so it was super easy to slim down during confinement. I was slim during confinement and now a little bit doubtful I can get my weight back. I feel so FAT.

This tummy may look small but I’m feeling so heavy, large, uncomfortable, having backaches constantly and every day, every minute, walking like a penguin, sleepy all the time, bathroom trip every few minutes, eating like there’s no tomorrow and of course this pregnancy hormone makes me forget things. I AM FORGETFUL these days. *sigh*. Oh, and easily annoyed and cranky.

Oh well, this post is long enough for my first 2015 post.

Hello 2015. You are almost ending and I am just starting.

And also because Nally told me to write again.

Love,

Aneesa

Of Me

January has been an interesting month.

I had cried, laughed, amused, annoyed, angry, frustrated, happy, disappointed, calm, resourceful, desperate, loved and a whole lot more.

It has been a challenging month and it’s only the first month of the year.

This is the year that I turn 27… soon..

27 is significant to me because when I was younger, I looked at those 27-year-old women as, well OLD. When I say OLD, in my definition, these women to my eyes, have accomplished something, they are working, they are worldly, to me 27 is the age women have done something significant in their life so I always associated 27 to being responsible, no more playing and goofing around, time to be serious.

And so, I will reach that significant age this year. Let see what I will do this year, bad and good, in me, I know I am ready.

Daily dose of Audreyna

I know that some of you are a big fan of Audreyna.

So as not to dissapoint you, here's some daily dosage of sweet Audreyna.

Love,

Proud mummy

Little A





Another round of Audreyna's silly faces. Maafkan saya, anak saya agakkk OVERRRRrrrr di sini. Automatic with ducky expression when she saw mummy's capturing her pictures. Just woke up with disarray hairs. I bet she loves to see all these pictures when she grows up.



 

Juga sering dipanngil Miss Cebik especially when she wakes up early in the morning and expect mummy to play with her tapi mummy continue tidooooo la of course. Harus cranky ini budak!!!

 

We have started keek-ing. So follow me for Audreyna's update. Duhhh, penuh video dia je nampaknya..

Love,

Obsessed Mummy

Norash Health & Beauty Spa

SPA.

The magic word. Everybody yearn to have it and experience it once in a while. But spa can be a bit expensive. I should know. Went to numerous of them before married. Well, now I don't have to fret about wanting to indulge myself once in a while as I found a getaway closer to home.

My mother-in-law's has recently re-open her homespa. She had it before at our old house but we decided to move when I was pregnant with Audreyna for more room and space. Now she found a perfect place to have her homespa again. And we all cheers ;)

It is situated at No 5-1, Jalan 5d/6, Taman Setapak Indah,53300 KL. It a topfloor townhouse close to Festival City. After Festival City, turn right at the traffic light. Turn another right at the first junction. You'll see apartments on both sides. Go straight and look for the street address. As easy as ABC.

What can you get at Norash Health & Beauty Spa?

Resdung+Basic facial: RM15 ( dirt cheap you'll sing with joy)
Spa: RM35
Mandi Bunga/Mandi Susu: Less than RM50.

The spa is not the one where you rendam-rendam dalam bathtub je. What's the point in that? It's actually a SG 2000 Home Spa with special oils to cater to your needs.

The Equipments

 

15 minutes of soaking in the SG2000 Ultrasonic Hydrotherapy Home Spa is equivalent to a 3-5km slow jog in energy exchange. You will find your heart rate increased due to the excellent blood circulatory effect, and experience an internal warming effect, which is key to good health.

5 Keys Benefits

1. Internal Warming: Internal warming increases our body temperature and boosts the immune system, metabolic rate and stimulates the creation of blood cells. It's like what you feel after exercising, there's heat coming out of you. And you'll feel good about it knowing you exercise hard!

2. Blood circulation (exercise effect): A 15 minute soak with the SG2000 Hydrotherapy Home Spa is equivalent to a 3-5km slow jog in energy exchange and 200-300 calorie loss. I still remember the first time I tried it, after 15 minutes, penat gilerrrrrr macam exercise padahal you just soak in the tub.

3. Full body massage: Sapa yang macam geli orang lain urut you but badan still sakit-sakit nak dimanjakan, well this is your answer. Besttttt sangat.

4. Deep cleansing: Ultrasound is used industrially for cleaning purposes. With 10,000-15,000 microtremors produced per second, ultrasound is able to vibrate the dirt and grime from the deep within the pores and achieve the effects of a body scrub. What will happen is, once the bubbles dissappeared, you will definitely see how dirty the water is WITH YOUR OWN DIRT. It's so unbelieveable that we think we are clean and yet once done they removed dirts from your poressss. Rasa bersih sangat after that.

 5. Body contouring: 46 litres or air bubbles are emitted at high speeds to massage the areas which you wish to tone. Simply relax at the right positions in the tub for a targeted body contouring and firming. SG2000 ultrasonic hydrospa is also able to remove water retention in the body. With 200-300 calories lost in energy with a 15 minute session, combined with the right diet, slimming can be achieved.

Six lesson of life

I had to share this. It was easy to understand & hilarious examples given.

SIX LESSONS OF LIFE

Lesson 1: Naked Wife
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…

“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 3:
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 4:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

...A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Lesson 5: Power of Charisma
A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

Lesson 6:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut !
