MY HOME OFFICE..

This is my new home office.. its actually our third bedroom but my resourcefull hubby converted it into an office and part storage area.. InsyaAllah, I will be spending lots of my time here after this..

As you can see, I also have a mini studio to take pix of Elyzzmode products.. The orange chair which i lurve was a gift from dear hubby.. There is also a comfortable chair beside the workstation for discussion purpose with family/friends (Nowwa.. actually aku masa letak kerusi tu with u in mind ye.. heheh)..

Its not that big but its just perfect for me :)

Thanx Yang!!

A YEAR OLDER BUT WISER?

.

I do think that I am a lot more wiser than last year..

32 is just a number.. After turning 30.. adding years after that is actually not so bad..

.

Alhamdulillah.. This past year I have achieved quite a lot..

An adorable baby boy, a bag boutique with my name on it (the feeling of seeing your name up on a store signage is simply awesome!), an online business, supportive family & friends and having the guts to finally quit my job of eight years..

.

Hmm.. Not too bad for a 32-year-old..

.

And this year I got to celebrate my birthday (although it was the next day) with my wonderful hubby.. just the two of us :)

Alhamdulillah.. I am blessed and thankful for so many things in my life..

Looking forward to another wonderful year ahead which I think will be challenging as I will be embarking into the unknown after my final days at work..

.

Thanx Nowwa for the delicious and addictive home-made oreo cheesecake! As you can see, it was demolished immediately..heheh

The pink white cake (American Chocolate) was a gift from Kak Bedah, Pandan Caterer. Very yummy!

PLASTIC PUTIH..

" Checkkan brg i kat bwh meja seblh rack kasut tu dalam plastic putih..Simpankan, tadi takut Hazyq main.."

.

SMS ni dapat dari hubby kul 9.30pm semlm.. Masa tu die kat badminton court clubhouse.. Aku lak masa dpt sms ni baca skali pintas jer and jeling kat bawah meja dari jauh.. Tengok plastic beg tu tak terusik so ok la kot asalkan Hazyq tak main..pastu terus lupe sbb 5 saat lps baca sms tu tengok si Hazyq tengah nak angkat dukung Hafiy.. ape lagiii..panikkk la.. sib baik takde ape2.. si adik sengih jer lak bile abangnye dukung.. harunye HAHA boys aku ni..

.
Kul 11.00pm hubby balik tapi langsung tak teringat pasal plastic putih tu.. Last2 kul 12.30 mlm statement ni kuar dari mulut hubby --> "U ni mmg tak ikut arahan ek.."

Eh, pesal lak hubby aku ni.. Bile pandang die baru la perasan die pandang plastic putih tu..

.

me: "Oh tu.. Hazyq tak main pun brg tu"

.

hubby: "I kan suruh simpankan.."

.

me: "iye laaaa.. i gi simpan la ni.. tadi tak buat sbb ingatkan yg paling penting Hazyq tak usik brg u" Dalam hati.. hmm..pesal la die tak simpan sendiri kat bilik..

Pastu terus la capai plastic putih tu.. Bile angkat mcm berat.. Hishk.. ape lak dlm ni..

Dah time ni sifat busy body mula amik alih so belek2 la brg kat dlm..

.

Terus nampak kotak Samsung and bile belek lagi and punggah content.. ni rupenye brg dlm plastic putih tu

YESSS... VERY SUREEEE

ARE YOU SURE?? .. SURE OR NOT??.. DAH PIKIR MASAK2??.. MUKTAMAD KE NI??

.

I have been asked these questions many times when my family, friends & colleagues know about my intention to resign.. Although it took me almost two months from my target date but finally i've submitted my resignation letter to my Boss and also to the HR Head dated 3 May 2010..

.

I was expecting to be scared and overwhelmed by the finality of my decision (once you've submitted the 'R' letter, you can never undo it) BUT I actually felt GREAT! Its as if a burden has been lifted from my shoulders and now I found myself doing my work happily and smiling.. Its such a wonderful feeling knowing that I have just two more months to look forward to changing my status from a full-time working mom to a WAHM (Work at Home Mom)..

.

Don't get me wrong here.. I am very much aware of the challenges I'll be facing after I resign.. No more monthly fix income to rely on (which although not much to some but it does pay the bills and afford me some lil luxuries of my own).. After this i need to be prudent in my spending.. Cut down on unneccesary expenses and hopefully I can pay off my credit card debt so that i can be debt free by the time i resign.. Importantly, is to make do with what I have by resisting the urge to shop for unnecessary things (this will be definitely the hardest thing to do)

.

Looking at the bright side of it... This will give me more time with my family especially the HAHA boys.. At least I will save money on fuel from commuting to work and also I dont have to shop for work clothes anymore and I will definitely save a bit more on the breakfast, lunch and sometime tea expenses I would have to fork out during work..

.

Another silver lining is that now I will definitely have more time to concentrate on my biz and also venture into new biz and projects.. So Nowwa..tunggu ye 2 bulan lagi ok pasni kite boleh luaskan empayar kite..hahahaha
