30BPC-Day 17: How You Hope Your Future Will Be Like

Oh gee...

Today's assignment calls for a deep reflection into my most inner thoughts. Seriously, I think it's kinda embarassing cause it might not come true. But again, hope is one of the things that keep us going isn't it?

But let me just get Google to help me with some of the visuls of what I hope my future will be like, OK?:)

Financially, I hope to...


Have lots of money so that I don't have to worry about debts or outstanding payments


Be able to put my eggs into different baskets, i.e have diversified investment portfolios

Personally:


Do I need to explain?

Spiritually:


Going for the memorable path

Oh well..that's all I can think of right now. Insya-Allah all that will come true.
Till tomorrow;)

30BPC-Day 16: Short Term Goals For This Month and Why

Hii...

It's Tuesday again, and today is especially a day with the date that used to be the one I anticipated. But not anymore, so I won't dwell on it now.

This months' short term goal? Gee...that's a really vague topic. I guess, one of that short term goal is to NOT THINK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE THAT IS TODAY!..In a way, it has been successful, I don't feel anything much, just a bit of fond remembrance, and a whole lot of thoughts about pending things that he needs to settle with me. I don't feel that stab of pain in my heart anymore, Alhamdulillahh...

Another short term goal for this month is to settle the E-Filing. I know, it's that time of the year all the taxpayers like us dread so much, the month when we start scouring around the house for receipts of stuff that we can claim the rebates on, as well as hounding the bank for statements on housing loan interest, zakat payment and anything to minimise our tax. Getting a refund is a delightful bonus.

But I have yet to settle that:(..Doing it slowly and surely. And hopefully I can settle that before the deadline on the 30th. Cross your fingers for me!

Thanks Google;)

Ok chiao!!

30BPC-Day 15: Something You Don't Leave The House Without

Hi...

It's the new week, and I didn't go to gym today. But this evening, I received a sad news. My grand-aunt, my Nek Udak, has passed away at her daughter's place not far from my parents' place back home:((..Innalillahh...

She was my late grandfather's younger sister, and since my grandparents died, she was the closest I had for a grandmother. Her own children are also close to my mum and uncle, and they were like siblings actually. In fact, her eldest son is considered my mum's saudara susuan (breasfeeding brother?) because my late grandmother used to breasfeed him when he was a baby as he is just slightly younger than my mum.

Anyway, let's move on to today's assignment shall we?

Here it is the bag that I almost never leave home without.

That's my gigantic Doraemon-bag, aka my Charles & Heith hobo which I bought early this year. Big in size, into which I can put everything I need when I'm on the go. On it are the stuff I always have inside it - my wallet, my sunglasses, and now my GPS, car keys and of course, a compact powder. Actually a few more items, like my mobile phone, are also those I can't leave home without, but they didn't make it in the picture.

But of all those things, I think the ones that is totally indispensable must be my car keys and my wallet.

OK I guess that's it. Till tomorrow yeah..

30BPC-Day 14: A TV Show You're Currently Addicted To

Hi..

I'm back again!!...It's Sunday, and I've had a very tiring day:).. I did go to PC Fair, and I bought one of the things I wanted to buy, which is a GPS device. So now no reason to be lost again on the road!

OK...I guess this will be another short and straight forward entry.

Hmm...which show am I currently addicted to?

I've said it before and I think this is another appropriate point to say it again. American Idol is my current guilty pleasure;)



Ok that's it! :)

Till tomorrow..

30BPC-Day 13: A Picture of Your Favorite Band or Artiste

Hi..

I'm back again:)..

Today started off on a very er...wet note. It was a perfect Saturday morning-rainy, cool and the bed beckons with the temptation extremely hard to resist. I had made plans to go to the PC Fair today, but because of the cool day, I could not pick up my lazy %$$ from the house and get to KLCC. There's always tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.

OK back to this assignment. Hmmm..favourite band or artiste? Problem is, I've go quite a few! So how? OK tak pedulik! Nak tepek more that 1 jugak!! Hahhaha...

Among them..

U2..The ultimate rock band


Beyonce..the beautiful lady with unbelievable talent


Anuar Zain..The crooner of choice;) *cue long sigh*


The Beatles, the pioneer. Will hopefully be able to trace their history if I go to Liverpool

Well, with the exception of The Beatles (of course), these are the people I wouldn't mind spending money to watch them in concert. Did actually buy the tickets for Beyonce's scheduled concert in KL a couple of years back, but we know what happened kan? *sigh*

Anyway..till tomorrow!

30BPC-Day 12: Your Current Relationship, If Single Discuss How Single Life Is

Hi..
Such a long title for today's assignment. Oh well, actually not so today anymore. I unexpectedly had a busy night after work. Getting stuck in the jam, going to the gym, meeting up with friends and reached home when it was almost midnight.

This is rather interesting I think, and I don't think this will be a post with any picture. I apologise for that.

I think it's pretty well-established that I am currently single. I talked about it a bit here

You know when people say time heals a broken heart? Well, it is true. I'm doing OK, and now I'm ready to love again. It's just suddenly there's so many to choose from!!Hahahha..

OK..to the second part of the question, how is single life?

For me, I love it generally, but of course, there are times when you crave for someone to always be with you, love you and be there for. But I'm not the type of person who dwells on loneliness like that. I surround myself with positivity. I have friends who I spend my time with, and I have activities to fill up my spare time. And of course, my 8 kids are just so angelic that even when alone at home, being with them makes me feel like I'm most fulfilled.

I savour my singleness and always be thankful that I am able to achieve admirable feats even without the support of a spouse/partner. I bought my own house with my single income instead of a combined loan, I decorated it the way I want it to be, and I live in it and let t be in any state I want.

I can advance my career to any direction I want to go (at least for now lah), and so far, Alhamdulillah everything works out well for me. Tapi bab bayar income tax tu tak berapa best lah! Hehhehe..

I get to go out and spend time on whatever I want without having to ask for permission from my partner. I live my life on my own terms, and I take the challenges in my own stride.

I can be friends with anybody I want, and I can travel at short notice any time I want.

I love and thankful for my single life, and I hope, Insya-Allah, when I meet someone, he will be the person who will not hinder my growth and my spirit, and instead, be my partner in every way. He will be the person who appreciates my intelligence,my sense of humour and my interests, and have all that of his own. Is that a tall order? Well, I certainly hope not.

Ok that's all I guess:)..

30BPC-Day 11: A Picture of Your Favourite Memory

Hii..

This is a tough one I think. Some memories, for me, are best kept personal. And most of the time, the best memory don't get captured in a photo. How would you know whatever you're doing will be your best memory yet betul tak??

And on occassions where pictures did get captured, they stand equal amongst the other memories that are your favourite. But still, honestly, this is tough. Time with my family is always good, and so is time with friends, colleagues, and even strangers.

But one of them for me, would be this:

My parents, by the Badaling Highway after our visit to the Great Wall of China. It's good to be able to go for this trip with them and fulfilled my Dad's wish of going there. InsyaAllah hopefully there will be more rezeki for us to take them to other places as well. They're keen on going to Turkey, so I guess that's the next in their list.

That's it I guess, one of my favourite memories:)

30BPC-Day 10: A Photo of Your Favourite Place to Eat

Hahh!! This is easy! If there is a place that I like to go for a good meal, it would be this...

Buttt...Let me emphasise here that I DO NOT EAT HERE LOT. Like I mentioned in this post, occassional treat to yourself bolehla..But I love it here. And what is it that one must have when they dine at Tony Roma's???


My own photo, but recycled hehehe..

THE DIVINE RIBS!!! Oh gosh I'm salivating just thinking about it!!

Ok nuff said. I don't want to end up making plans to go there just because of the sudden craving for them ribs. Ok chiao!! Better stop now. Till tomorrow ya?


*P.S-When I talked to Mum earlier, she reminded me that today is the anniversay of my beloved late grandmother's death. I miss her still, will miss her always. I love you Maknek, and may you rest in peace over there, Al-Fatihah :((

30BPC-Day 9: A Photo of the Item You Last Purchased

Hi..
This will be a quick one. As usual, on Tuesdays I get home pretty late after gym and hanging out with friends. After this I can't be online for too long cause I need to sleep earlier - need to wake up again at around 3AM to watch the second leg of the United-Chelsea European Champions' League quarter-final. We beat Chelsea last week 1-0 and Stamford Bridge, and so tonight's game at Old Trafford will hopefully be a touch-and-go game, and that we're through to the semis without any hitch.

So anyways, this is the item I last purchased:)


Cat not included!! Hahahhaha..

It's a comforter set and I got this last Friday at the Jusco member's sale during my Friday lone excursion to Jusco Tmn Equinne. Original price: RM900++. The price I got for this last Friday? RM150:))..So happy!!

Actually, I kinda tipu. The last purchase I made was actually a gift for my friend Leo's newborn baby, which I bought today at Alamanda. Tapi tak boleh tunjuk, takut mummy baca post nih!!:)) Sorry la ekkss:))

OK that's it. Till tomorrow!!

30BPC-Day 8: Your Dream Wedding

Awww shoot!! I'm so dreading this!

Every girl (girl ke aku???) at any point of their life has surely fantasised about their wedding day when they were very very young.

However, it was too long ago a memory that I don't even remember ever fantasising about mine! Honest to goodness! Sumpah!!

Another confession, now I don't harbour such thought anymore. I guess if it happens, it happens. Call me cynical and have given-up on life-long commitment? Maybe in a way I am, but I prefer to think and fantasise about it when I know who I'll share the rest of my life with;)

I'd want it to be a simple and intimate celebration with family and friends, befitting how much I (and my family?) can afford. As to what I'll wear or how I want the pelamain (dais) to look like, sorry, I just don't know:)

As long as it has this:

The Akad Nikah


A shiny rock on my finger;;)

And perhaps...

One of these babies as among the hantarans, I'm good to go ahahhaha...

As for the rest, let me think about it when, and if the time comes, ok?:)) And I pwomise I won't be a bridezilla!:)

Chiao!!
