good bye 2010.. pt 1

yes.. new year is just around d corner.. yet, lots of sweet n bad memories happened n dis made me 1 2 b a 'out spoken' person.. yup, b4 dis i'm quite of saving it all 4 myself n it made me a little stress. but now, d most important thing is myself n my lil' family.

planning 2 go 2 more events since nadira kind of big enough, yes she's 15 months already. n we went to my cuzie, Jimah's wedding on d 18th. @ 1st she was a bit fussy, but later she's happy but still didn't like unfamiliar-faces-people approaches her. huhu.. here was some pics during 2 days of d wedding;)


nadira with her twin cuzies, kak syifa n kak ila;))




on d 17th, we miss'd d nikah ceremony, skipped d bebadak ceremony..





on d 18th, after a long hot-happy-wedding-day, we head back 2 kk with nadira sleeping;))

n few days back, nadira had fever, but alhamdullilah it just last 2 days. kind of worried @ 1st, but she was active as usual;))

@ permai polyclinic kk

b4 d year ended, i did some online also on-site shopping.. haha ;P now still waiting 4 nadira's pyjama sets n my cloth pad/liner. done with d payment, but there was x'mas day so hopefully they'll arrive soon b4 new yr..


nadira's cloth diapers.. forgot 2 take d pics when they were still in packaging.. haha.. i was so xcited 2 wash n dry them :p

here some pics during our previous day-shopping..



during shopping @ parkson, wawasan plaza. bought my sk-2 toner n mask, also got nadira a minnie tote bag;)

then on d 24th, went to mothercare midnite sale 8-12pm. went there @ 8pm, early b4 it got packed with ppl. it was 2nd day of their nite sale. nothing much 2 buy as only limited sizes left. planning 2 buy nadira's shoes n tights but finally bought her 2 sets of socks n bottle cleanser liquid. n nadira was just woke up when i arrived back @ home;P
notice my inner shawl? bought it from ayunar.biz hehe.. got 4 pcs of them n really would like 2 have other colors in d future. it was custom-made inner. mine were 2-tone. they also hav 3-tone inner. we can choose d color we 1. also bought outer syria from them;) they got lots of fancy n pretty shawl but unfortunately all were out-of-stock. d price also reasonable n worthy;)

n we went 2 my aunt's kenduri last nite. dis was nadira's 1st time going 2 a kenduri n @ nite time event..






n today made some shopping again @ karamunsing.. bought her tights n was searching 4 nadira's bottle 4 few days. went 2 mothercare, kids avenue, little me n finally found them @ signature, karamunsing complex. looking 4 BPA-free n normal 250ml bottle type (don't like d wide neck - did bought it once).

n got pureen n disney's brands. n they'r quite cheap;)

haha.. bit of dis n there 4 dis time post.. juz had d time 2 blog.. n can't wait 4 dis evening.. hubby's coming.. n it's my 28th bday;)) yippie! alhamdulillah;))

countdown;))

it's 15th already.. n 10 days to x'mas, 12 days to our 2nd anniversary n 13 days to my bday.. hehe.. i really luv december;P.. but d bad thing when ur bday is in december, most if ur school frens will forget 'bout ur bday since it was school holiday.. huhu.. dat happens to me a lot.. n only once during my uni 1st year, 2001 my bday was celebrated by my frens.. unforgettable memories.. i got splased with fluor, pepsi n egg.. haha.. missed dat moment (with vivi, emma, mieya, liza, al, jalie). i'm not able to post their pic since my pics from 2001-2003 was in my previous CPU (d motherboard broke n i never repair it ;P).. haha..

n wedding anniversary.. juz simple celebration i guess same as last yr. bday+anniversary celebration mayb with cake, delicious food n gift? mm.. our big achievement was we did get a mpv n a house dis yr. also new wallet 4 hubby n new iPhone 4 me. so i guess, no need 2 buy any special gift dis time (can save for other things). as long as hubby will b home on d 28th, i'll b so happy..

i would like share our happy memories b4 getting married.. haha.. few of old skul pics..

better late than never..

hiks.. hiks.. actually i'm quite late for thinking of dis.. well usually others thought of it earlier.. but for me, it did slips in my mind before but only now i felt it kind of important ;P it's about using cloth diaper @ CD.. yup.. during dis long school break, i was 24-7 being a mom, a house wife.. so meaning dat i was there all d time for nadira.. so it was better dat i bought them earlier, but still.. better late than never.. haha.. yup.. did some survey tru online shopping blog n website. n i found dis http://mybabypitstop.com.. they'r selling quite what i 1 4 nadira.. n dis did catched me;))

will buy cloth pad @CL n cloth liner@CL 4 me too... yup.. suddenly "why not, buy CD 4 nadira n also CP n CL 4 me".. haha.. after calculating dis n dat, it was such a savings using all dis cloth product.. juz need 2 work hard 2 maintain d usage.. as 4 nadira, still buying diapers 4 her, but not as much as now. @ d meantime, was spending rm200 per month 4 her diaper. so mayb i can cut half or nearly half of it. will use CD during nite time n on weekends. n i did spend rm50 per month 4 my pad n liner. so after buying d CP n CL, i'm no longer 2 buy pad n liner anymore;)) dat will saves a total of rm3k 4 a year.. wow..

thinking 2 buy dis from mamapatch.com. cotton liners (2 liners in a pack which cost only rm30 per pack ). so will hav 3 pack of them. then 4 cloth pad, will buy 5 pcs of fleece pad (which cost rm26 each). below r some of d feature from d liner n pad:

n mayb will add later 4 d CD, CP n CL.. yup.. will test them 1st, if satisfied will keep on using d same brand in d future;)) as 4 d CD, if nadira done well in her potty time 4 d nest 1-2 yrs time, d CD will b kept 4 her future siblings.. hehe;P

missing so bad..

i would like to share d sad part of mine.. yup.. being so far away from my dear hubby.. it was more than 2 months, he's not being with us.. d longest was nearly 2 months.. but dis time were truly missing him.. uhuk2.. jiwang la plak;P

at least dis cutie pie makes my day.. haha.. my partner of arguing.. not dat kind of argue.. juz she's stubborn like me;) so, most of d time, argue, angry, enticing, cuddling.. haha.. dat's was our activities since d school holiday.. i got lots of things to do, but nadira's more important;)) so, had to make sure she's happy n comfort all d time.. here r some pics of her, some was uploaded to my fb before..












yup.. she's getting bigger.. a little slow for walking (walk 1-3 step, stop n sit), but her mouth is stoppable.. i'm not sure wat she said, but sometimes it's annoying.. esp when i'm talking on d phone, skype-ing wit hubby.. all i heard was nadira's loud voice.. haha..

can't wait for hubby's coming home (mayb end of dis month). he's hardly to come home since petronas methanol labuan,PML (hubby's work place) is starting up d plant after shutting down d plant operation for a long period.. i'm not into d details, but d 'water problem' was 1 of d reason they did d shut-down before. labuan was terribly for their water supply. don't know y.. mayb can't supply 4 d whole island i guess.. huhu.. also can't wait for d 20th (it's pay-day).. haha.. really missed shopping;)) i'm doing d budget now.. thinking to buy new garment for nadira as she's growing bigger n some shawls for me.. hehe;D other stuff? will b in d list.. ^_^

2011.. d new me..;))

yes.. counting to a new year.. 2011..

most of my list 2010 was succeed gratefully.. n now time to think for 2011.. my 2011 resolutions :

1) no more sweet, low self-esteem, kind-hearted rina.. it's time for HIGH SELF-ESTEEM, a little rebellious @ heart.. haha;P (i'm tired of ppl using me to do their work, as they'r paying my salary) ;P

2) making nadira chubbier than before.. trying to make her weight as much as i can ;)

3) trying and keep on trying for successfully transferred to labuan..

4) saving more for our house renovations n interior design works..

i think dat's enough 4 now.. mm.. mayb i shud start a small biz to add more on our savings? @ d moment, mine n hubby's salary quite enough for d 3 of us.. but extra 4 savings is quite little.. hopefully murah rezeki 4 d yr 2011.. new baby? dat 1, need to postpone 1st;P

p/s - my birthday n our 2nd wedding anniversary is juz around d corner.. can't believe we were almost 2 yrs got married (known each other since high school-matriculation yrs n coupled since 2004).. felt like it was only yesterday;P

searching for material

yes.. i'm doing survey for our soon-home-finally.. hehe.. well.. really luv to start with d :

1) bedroom -ours n nadira's(since day time was for working time, so @ home will b nap/sleeping time);

2) then dining area ( need dis area so much, as it'll can b a temporary office area);

3) living room ( will start with a carpet, few cushions, tv rack. need a lot of surveying to find d most likable sofa.. hehe..);

4) then kitchen.. simply coz we'll b spending much time in bed.. hehe;P

i'm thinking of going to decor/design in phases so that we can work within our current budget and still prepare d house to live in;)..

here some of ideas i'm keen to design our home.. but will not copy them.. just take d ideas n design it my own way ( well, i'm a former assistant architect, n i'll make use of it ).

idea for bedroom : modern romantic ( as for nadira, still not getting d concept yet ). but dis 1 kind of dull-grey.. shud spice it up with colors.. mayb pink, purple, brown or blue.. d bed decor will b simple to design, d wardrobe is d major thing.. huhu.. d house will b not so big, same with d bedroom. so must design d wardrobe carefully. yup.. i'm going to design&build d wardrobe. our clothes will never going to fit an ordinary wardrobe..

as for dining+living area, thinking of these..
d design was simple n did d area look spacious ;

luv d tv rack, a long or high book rack is needed as i'm having lots of books n magazines to be kept in ;


luv d dining set furnitures.. n d mirror, luv it too.. but d area is so spacious n all d furniture looks great.. really need to survey a lot to find d best furniture for our liv+dine area coz don't them to look crowded with stuff.. huhu..

all designs were great in pics.. so now, need to design my own way.. really appreciate any comment from my viewers.. thanx;))
