My New Addiction

I suddenly realised this morning that I have a new addiction!
Well, every morning when my baby wakes up (baby ker dah setahun?)
I'll pick him up from the cot, then lie him down on my bed
and watch him makes facesss :))

Cam dah takder keje lain ek?
But seriously... bila kita renung wajah anak...
Hati yang gundah bisa jadi tenang
Yang duka bertukar suka
Kalau sedih boleh jadi gumbira
A new form of therapy I guess

Hmmm
Tiba-tiba akak teringat movie Slumdog Millionaire
Sunggoh terkesan di hati akak melihat 2 beradik Salim dan Jamal hidup susah sedari kecil...
As I oso have 2 boys...
Tak tergamak rasanya nak bayangkan anak sendiri hidup sebegitu...
Sensitip pulak dah.....
Cemana nak hilangkan sensitip ni?
Hehehe.. aper lagi... yok nengok wajah anak... :))

The Rose

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

"GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL...We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give" I quote.

Are You a Happy Customer?

As I’m having my oatmeal breakfast this morning, I browsed through the Yahoo news and read ‘True Spa spat goes to the courts’. Apparently 16 unsatisfied customers of the spa filed a statement of claims. They signed up for packages of up to $7000 but later found that the service was bad, they were not able to make any bookings, they can’t terminate their contracts despite earlier promises and get pushy sales tactics from the staffs.

Remember my previous article on Spa Best, Spa Tak Best’?

Just after my session ended and before I made the payment, the staffs tried to persuade me to sign up for their package. If I’m not mistaken, it was around $7000 for 8 sessions.

That instance, I know I’m not coming to the spa again. The sales staff wasn’t that pushy though. A stern look on my face and sharp stare from my eyes were enough to make her stop pitching.

Somehow I wonder, is there any spa that didn’t do this?

Whatever happened to ‘making customers happy’?

How about ‘customer service’ or ‘quality services’ or ‘service quality’?

Is it just purely about business and money?

I believe it is.

The Tudung Craze & The Gadgets

I need to find someone to blame, I simply need to.
For years, the only gadget that I’m really interested in is just my laptop
And now, out of nowhere, I have a sewing machine in my house!
Not just that, I even got myself a ‘mesin jahit tepi’!!!
Wooohooo… orang IT pegang mesin jahit… hehehehe

If I remember correctly, the last time I touch this ‘thing’ was way back in….hmmmm… 1993….?
Yupp, that’s rite...16 years ago….
And here I am, sewing again... all for the love and craze of tudung munawwarah and tudung mektwain which I can never get in Singapore
Well, there are similar versions here but they are only similar.. definitely not the same…

Aha
And who do I blame?
I know I can blame these people coz they would never be angry with me
Sapa lagi….?? Cek kak cek kak ex-almashoorians laaa….
Sebab semuanya jadi tukang hasut ;)
And paling terok kena blame mestilah JUNOT and MIMI, both tukang beli and tukang pos tudung from KL untuk akak… hehehe
Sorry gals…. I luv u all….muahhhhh

Oh ya
I have since befriended MEKTWAIN
Thanks for sewing me the tudungs
I love them and love your blog, tq for sharing the tudung making tutorial :)

I’ve managed to hand stitched 2 tudungs though they are not as perfect
I’m still learning ok….
I’m gonna start my tudung project using my new gadgets soon
Right now… I’m hunting for the best fabrics, here in Spore
I’ve searched Arab Street, People Textile, Woodlands Centre and Spotlight but still couldn’t find munawwarah’s lycra or mektwain’s jersey :(
Somebody please help….please…..
