52 week money challenge

Thanks to Izyan Darlina on her post that I've decided to try this money challenge this year.

Last year, I did do money challenge by taking out every RM5 in my purse and put it in a box. It went well but after some time, I realized that I didn't take out money from my purse anymore because I didn't have any green color note in my purse. Well, people who knows me, know that I prefer do online banking on anything and if there is a need to use cash, only I will withdraw my money. I'm cashless and I'm not paranoid if I'm being pickpocket because I don't have money hahahhh.

Anyway, since this money challenge only requires me to take out money once every week, I think, this should be doable.

But, instead of starting up with RM1 in Week 1, I decided to start with RM52 in week 1. Why? Cos in January I'm still "rich" from my 13 month salary haha. And instead of keeping it in a jar, I will transfer it every Friday to my TH account :)

Remind me to share the result after 52 weeks eh ;)

BTW, get your 52 week money challenge printable here if you wish to start with RM52.

I paste mine on my cubicle wall =)

Till then.

2016 Planner

One of my 2016 goal is to be as organize as possible. In order to be organized I have to have a planner to plan ahead.


I was so motivated to buy a planner that I did some research before I bought one. I even tempted to buy Duck Planner. But looking at the price, erm, it's okay, thank you, my husband won't allow.


One of the criteria I'm looking at a planner is its size. I want it to be as small as possible so that I can carry it everywhere in my handbag. A5 is too big for me, so, I decide A6 size is the best.


Next, I want it to be a weekly planner, not daily nor monthly.


With all the research I have done, on the same day, I pleaded husband to go to OU to buy me a planner. I went to TYPO and looking at all the planners available and I'd made my choice.


So, here you go...

A glitter A6 2016 planner from TYPO.



In this tiny book there are contact details page, full calendar page, reference calendar for 2015, 2016 and 2017, Public Holiday- unfortunately they don't have PH for Indonesia, I need to know when my team member is on PH though, Monthly view, weekly view, notes page and even a pocket to keep all your receipts and bills for your review before you throw it away.

I even buy a sticker for this purpose.

 

And I have a bag for everything, the planner, the stickers, the sticky notepad and the pen. Hehhe. BTW, the bag was given by Chelsia the Ops Manager from Singapore.

The planner only cost me RM38, but still, husband smirked at me when he had to queue to pay for the planner cause he can sense that I will not use the planner and it just the new-year-thingy. I'll take the challenge that my planner will be my bestfriend next year ! :')


Till then, Happy New Year :)

NN Premier Screening - Blended

Alhamdulillah, Nuffnang was so kind that they gave away 25 pairs of tickets to watch Blended premier screening last night. The movie will be out on 12th June, till then, let me spoil the story for you :B

 

 

Jim & Lauren went for a blind date but it turned out to be a disaster. They decided not to meet each other again, until, they accidentally stuck together during a family trip in Africa. During the trip they slowly bonding and blended with each other's family.

 

The movie is funny of course casting by 2 famous comedy actor,s but I strictly do not encourage kids to watch this movie although it's a family movie. The language used is too harsh for young kids. But if you are a couple, lovey dovey, etc, go ahead :) It's worth your money if you want to laugh over something.

 

 

 

Thanks husband for the movie date :)

 

 

Till then, bye.

Love, emy.







Love the One you're with

Hey hey, this is my first book review for this year.
It is taking too long cos this actually is the first book I've read this year *sigh.

I've bought this book 2 years ago while I accompanied my best colleague to buy something for her weekly/monthly reading. Right before I made the purchased, she said that she is going to loan out a book to me that she bought in US. When I showed her what I just bought, she surprisingly said that this is the exact book she wants me to read.

Anyway, the real title of this book is, "If you can't forget the one who got away, can you love the One you're with"..

The book is about Ellen who just got married to Andy suddenly bump into his ex-boyfriend Leo. There is still unsettle emotions going on and Ellen just need to find it out. She told Andy about Leo and Andy makes her choose. She travels to New York to sort out the feeling and she meets Leo, but the feelings are clear to her now. Leo is her past and Andy is her present & future.

Lesson learn from the book: You always know that the one you are married to is the best Allah has chooses for you :)


Till then. bye.
Love, emy.

Air Asia Free Seats

I asked my colleague who already visited Bali before how much is the cheapest flight ticket she surveyed and I'd compared with mine which is RM686 returns for 2 pax chosen seats 1A & 1B - not bad right?

She wished me good luck with the purchase and I told her I already bought. She was surprised because AA just launched the free seats for public today at 12 am. She said I have been working with Singapore colleagues for too long that made me become "kiasu". Tskk.

Anyway, good luck to everyone who already plan for their holiday next year :)

Till the, bye.
Love, emy.

my Ramadhan goals

Salam to all Muslims out there,

A quick question for you, do you realize than Ramadhan is 30 days away?
Have you prepare yourself for it?

 

A survey shown that many of us still have not yet written our goal for Ramadhan.

Obviously, many of us still have not yet prepare for it.

 

By the way, my Ustadz from Al-Quran class has set his students goal for this Ramadhan - to complete the book of Quran. That motivates me to come out with my own list for Ramadhan :)

 

 

5 goals for 2014 Ramadhan:

 

1) Never skip suhoor

2) Attend taraweeh at least 10 times

3) Never skip tahajood

4) Complete the book of Quran

5) Memorize Yassin with the correct tajweed

 

 

Seems easy? We will see. Oh, my intention of sharing my goals purely to inspire my Muslim friends to come out with their own goal for this coming Ramadhan. I will not share my end results of course.

 

May this Ramadan be one we benefit fully from and whereby we increase in our imaan and taqwa, InshaAllah.

 

 

Till then, bye.

Love, emy.

 

 

The Little Rascals 2014

 

 

When I was a kid, I remember I played the movie over and over and over again because 

I love how cute the kids were. That was 20 years ago? Haha.

So, you know I have this New Year resolution to watch 100 English movies in 365 days *sigh. I can't read 100 books, so I thought watch movie is easier heh.

While choosing what movie to watch today, I saw this poster - The Little Rascals 2014.

Though I can assume what is the story plot likes, I still want to spend my time watching it. I didn't read the summary because I thought it will copy cat the old The Little Rascals movie. Well, it's not exactly the same but almost similar.

The Little Rascals 2014 is about the rascals try to raise money to save Spanky's grandmother's bakery. They do everything from finding a job and get fired to running their own business like doing pet spa, cab service and hold a wrestle competition. But all go wrong and instead of getting money, they are losing them.

Their final resort is to enter the "Talent Show" competition and amazingly their horrible sounds of music turn fine in the end and so they win the competition and manage to raise money for Grandmother.


Lesson learn from the movie - you can't be too bossy or people will dislike you, never give up and teamwork. Also, jealousy will bring you down.

Have fun watching it, if you want ~

Frozen 2013

Everyone talked about this movie earlier this year, especially the mommies.

At first, I don't have any interest with the movie due to its simple title, until every young girls in town started to celebrate their birthday party with Frozen theme, it caught my attention. I have to check the movie out, I said to myself. I opened You Tube and listened to the Frozen theme song "Let It Go". Okay, I like the song very much so I should watch the movie.

There I went...

Because I like the movie so much, I watched it twice :)


Frozen is different from other fairy tales story like Cinderella, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, etc. It is not about true love story with your soulmate, instead, it is about true love act between siblings.

Queen Elsa, the older sister of Princess Anna has been avoiding herself from the public due to her icy power.

During her Coronation Day, her power is revealed to public by accident and have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter. She runs to the mountain and Anna together with Kristoff try to find her. When Anna tries to consult her sister to comeback to their kingdom, Elsa accidentally strikes Anna with her power. There is only one way to save Anna - an act of true love.

I should not spoilt the ending as you must watch it hehe trust me this is one good movie to watch.
Unless, you are someone who never enjoy watching Disney Princess movies, then, I don't suggest.


Lesson learn from the movie - an act of true love is sacrifice. It does not matter what happen to you as long as the one you love is happy and safe. And, true love between siblings is more powerful because they are related and connected by blood. So, you should not abandoned your family for your boyfriend/girlfriend.


Till then, bye.
Love, emy.
