My Little One

I can never resist not putting up more pictures of Audreyna. She's too adorable I'm so lucky she's mine. She's a biter now. Do not let her "kiss" ( bites) you on the cheek. She'll do some minor damage in your pain nerve system.

My firstborn ( hopefully I have more) random pictures all taken in March 2013;

The Hanson's Song

Oh Noooooooo!!!

I've change my URL and all my favourite list of blog that i frequently read DISAPPEARRRRR!!.

Ok a little bit of depression here.

Anyway, while I was twiddling around with the blog, i re-read back my old posts at my old blogs which has been private for ages. What I realised was, I actually have a history that I could read back and remember what i've been through. Started blogging since late 2006 early 2007 officially in blogspot but i've written way before that in friendster blog. Remember friendster? That's a laugh. So i could say that I've been writing for 10 years now because I started to write when I just got into relationship with my husband. Hello dear, we are 10 (TEN) YEARS this year. Cray Cray. Second year into the marriage and still can't believe we made it this far. We practically grew up together dari kurang comel dan kurang bijak ke agak2 comel la jugak sekarang ;) with a mini version of us sleeping next to me right now. It is surreal sometimes if i reminiscing back the high and low of the past years.

Anyway, I plan to write a series of posts today instead of dumping everything in one post which will be LONGGGgggggggg ( tekan snooze button.....). Just wanted to share this song which i've put in the old blog. Funny how I still have warm fuzzy feelings  while listening to this.

Celebrities that goes green

I wrote a post in our office blog last year. it's part of our KPI to at least write something each month. Most of us would write something related to green/sustainability etc. Take a look. Even our international interns pen in some of their thoughts.

So anyway, this was the post that I wrote. Tried to write a new one but still searching for "green" inspiraton.

Celebrities that goes green

Celebrities can be a role model as publics follows every tiny gritty detail of their lives. I personally think it is ingrained in most of the human brain that if they do it, then it must be cool and hip for us mere commoners to follow. Yes, celebrities have the power to change the world for a better place. Let see the list of celebrities who has embrace going green and being green.

1.    Jessica Alba

 

 

This mother of two has just launch a line of green baby and household product under her company; The Honest Company. The company’s products include designer biodegradable diapers, all-natural wipes, shampoo, baby lotion, laundry detergent, sunscreen, and more. Not only are the baby products safe and eco-friendly, they’re stylish with designs like lollipops and ice-cream on diapers for girls and little skulls-and-crossbones on diapers for boys.

2.    Leonardo Dicaprio

 

He is a committed environmentalist that drives hybrid cars and has solar panels installed at his house. In 2007, Leonardo wrote and produced a documentary film “The 11^th Hour” which focuses on global warming. In 1998, he started the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation to raise awareness of environmental issues. The Foundation works on a variety of environmental and humanitarian issues including Wildlife Protection, Forest Preservation, Healthy Oceans, Water Access, Renewable Energy, Disaster Relief and Climate Change.

3.    Rachel McAdams

 

A big fan of Rachel McAdams, I was pleasantly surprised to find out she helped launch the Green Is Sexy website that offer advice to those looking to live in a more sustainable and eco-friendly manner.

The site is fun and charming in its fresh and light-hearted takes on the issues at hand. As a woman, I find their tips in maximizing the use of make-up helpful. For example, the eyeliner — “once the pencil gets to a certain point, it becomes soft and difficult to sharpen. Instead of tossing it in the trash, try sticking the pencil in the freezer instead. After a couple minutes chilling out, your favorite black eyeliner will be ready for the sharpener and your hot date”.

Another simple tip is by switching your default font to Century Gothic. Apparently it could save you $20 a year in printer ink cartridges. Taken from their website, “Century Gothic uses about 30 percent less ink than Arial.  Considering more than 300 million ink cartridges are thrown away each year, reducing the amount of ink you use is good for the environment and great for your wallet.”

Guess what font am I using right now? ;)

So what are you waiting for? Click http://www.greenissexy.org/ for a dose of friendly advice by Rachel McAdams and her crews.

There are hundreds more environmentalist celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and even Richard Branson just to name a few. Next up, maybe we should look closer to home and look at our own Malaysian celebrities and their eco-achievement. Care to share who they are?

10 months

Audreyna is 10 months last 10th March. She has 3 teeth to date; one upper and two at her lower gum. She's healthy and cheerful, Alhamdullilah. Can't believe this little girl is mine. Sometimes i'm worried of having another one, just because i think she deserve to have me to herself. Maybe when she's a bit older but love having another little girl to accompany her. ;)

Some new photos of her;

An Epiphany

An epiphany is an experience of sudden and striking realization. That is what I am having for the past months. I CANNOT & WILL NOT live like this anymore. Slaving for money, making ends meet, mediocre saving, stress and truthfully not finding joy in what I do JUST BECAUSE I feel like I want more and deserve more and should have more. Don’t get me wrong. This is nothing got to do with “sifat tamak haloba” or “tak mensyukuri apa yang ada” but more on the endless journey of self-actualization.

A basic definition defines self-actualization simply as "the full realization of one's potential", and of one's 'true self'. My boss told me this principal- DUIT: Doa Usaha Istiqamah Tawakal. He’s trying to make us all an entrepreneur. I might not appreciate it before the true sentiments but now that I realize nobody is holding me down BUT MYSELF, I can’t simply give excuses of ‘No, I can’t’, ‘No, It’s hard’, No, it’s impossible’.

The reason why I’m finding back-up and extra income is first & foremost; I DO NOT WANT TO BE MISERABLE for the rest of my life. Yes, that’s true. Money is not everything BUT everything needs money. Now that I’m a mother, my daughter’s wellbeing is the primary concern. I worry about everything when it comes to her. I want her to have more of whatever I never get when I was a child. I want her to be more than what I am and was.

My parents, bless them, I thank Allah-Almighty every day that they are my parents.  I see how hardworking my dad is, taking a double degree to fulfill his dream, taking care of all his 4 girls even when we are married and has children ourselves. Paying for my PTPTN loan so that I only have to pay to him instead of having a debt in my name, letting me drive his car because like he said “he has too many and nobody to drive them”. He’s the epitome of the greatest responsible father I know.  My mother, the sweetest kindest lady I’m proud to call as my mom. Selflessly taking care of my kid even when I know she’s tired BUT she never says NO, never says she CAN’T & if she has plans, she is willing to cancel them. Because I’m a parent, I do understand the depth of their sacrifice and responsibility they feel towards me. And because of that, I want to pay them back for everything and even more.

My colleague, Kak Nurul recently introduces me to Premium Beautiful Corset. Oh well, I knew about it years ago since I was in UM when I first start reading about Hanis Haizi. You see, back then I was impressed with her achievement but I was lazy to know more about this. Two years back I read about Aliah Nasreen. She has just started the PB business as a part timer. Again, I didn’t pursue this because I wasn’t confident in being in sales. I recently search her back. She’s now earning RM30k per month on PB business on top of her salary at Petronas where she works.

It stopped me in the track. I can’t sleep. I keep on thinking, “if I were to join her 2 years back, I might have been as successful as she is”. You see, regret is a bitter pill to taste. I didn’t swallow it well. So I took the first step. I decided to join as well.

So yes, I’m in the process of joining. I had “skeptical” and “negative” comments thrown at me. But you learn from the best. If they can do it why can’t I. They are human being and so am I. I am as good as they are. You see others made it and you are jealous of their achievement. “SAMPAI BILA?”. I’m 26 years old. Time doesn’t wait for ANYONE.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, GO GET IT. PERIOD!!!!

Do yourself a favor. Go google about Premium Beautiful Corset, all its glory, & the business itself.

I’m taking the first step. Are you joining me?

Love,

Aneesa

My Kid

My baby is turning 9 months in 11 days. So far;

She crawled this week.
She doesn't have any teeth yet.
She can interact with you and give many cheeky funny faces.
She loves adult food and hates baby food or maybe i just have not feed her yummy baby food yet.
She poo every single day and always yucky mushy ones not the hard onesie.
We just bought her a new walker and carseat and she loves them.
She outgrown most of her clothes and mummy has not yet shop for her new wardrobe.
Her hair is longer at the back and still tame and manageable. I love if she has longer hair so i can play around with it.
Do not know her weight as her next check up is when she's 1 year old.
Ditto the height.
She cries her eyes out everytime mummy in the bathroom. Like crying with tears streaming down her face so sad so tragic ones. SIGH!!!
She knows how to clap.
She loves kissing and cuddling. She's definitely an affectionate kid.

I know i missed out a lot of her development here just because i'm a tad lazy to update. But I love taking her pictures. My instagram is full of her pictures.

So why don't i put some of them here just because i'm a mummy and a mummy like to show off her kid. Ok bye.
