Bits And Pieces

It's that time of the year again... Big Bad Wolf  sales is back and of course I couldn't resist the temptation to go. Hence, on the second of its opening we went quite early in the morning but the crowd had already swarming the place... The first stop was at the fiction section and I could spend all day at that section alone if my son did not whine to go back because he was tired of standing and walking around... there are loads of books that I wanted to buy and read but I had limited myself  to buy only two novels because I need to read two more books to complete my reading challenge for this year (but I bought four in the end, haha...). My daughter was nowhere to be seen since she had her own types of books to search...poor that boy he doesn't have anything to buy since he haven't read a single book I bought him last year...so he was my bodyguard for the day... The last stop would be the cooking section, again there were loads to choose ...

Well, this is another interesting hijab tutorial that I found in Radiusite  page. It is easy to follow step by step and you can check their facebook page for more...

It's the first week of the year end school holidays. I have about six weeks to enjoy doing the things that I've always wanted to do earlier...but I guess I've been procrastinating and starting pretty slow, but it's okay at least I have started reading yesterday and almost finishing (some books are pretty slow to finish...) Perhaps, I'm a bit ambitious, but I have a  list of things to do/accomplish within this period ... it's okay to dream, I guess... 1. Read the books that I bought during the Big Bad Wolf Sales  last year to complete my reading challenge, three more books to go. 2. Try new recipes, this might be interesting... 3. Work on my garden, replanting and reorganizing, plant new herbs perhaps... 4. Reorganizing my closets and bookshelves 5. Do some house chores 6. Complete my module for new subject next year...( marketing, eh? ) 7. Travel to places I've never been... 8. Read more Quran... 9. Buy some new clothes...

I'm so thrilled to find this simple tutorial on how to wear a hijab from Anggun Zara  blog. I'm saving this for future reference. Thank you Anggun Zara, I'm loving all of your hijab collections...

Well, Eid was over but I didn't get the chance to post anything about it, hence the random pics...

It's almost unbelievable but Ramadhan is coming in just two days...Happy Ramadhan to all Muslims and may this holy month bring us happiness and show us gratitude...

 I have just finished reading this book.  It's been a while but I managed to finish it somehow and I learnt three unassuming little words from this novel, "I forgive you". They mean so much to me because at one time I was a a crossroads whether to forgive a certain someone...Now that it was all finally over, I felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders and was be able to move on ... By uttering those three little words was actually the beginning of a new life, life goes on... " To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you"                                                                                                                      Lewis...

Quote of the day... "The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with  who you are,  and not who people think you are"                                                                                                                            -Goldie Hawn

These are some of  the books that I managed to grab in the Big Bad Wolf  sales last year. On the second visit, I finally got hold of the books that I've been looking for... But...I'm aching inside every time I saw these books on the shelf...sitting there waiting to be read...coz I still haven't  got round to reading any of them ...  Haish...so many books so little time...

A new year has begun and a new school year is just beginning - TGIF, the first week has ended... how time flies... During the final week of school holidays, been busy visiting my family at my hometown (finally, on the final week of the holidays hubby could take a leave). On the way back to Kedah, I received a phone call from school informing that I had a meeting to attend on 31st of Dec, so we had to cut short the balik kampung, only spent two days there..nonetheless, it was a fruitful one... Prior to that I was on duty from 17th to 21st Dec and had to attend two days meetings on 26& 27th Dec. Now, it's back to my old routine getting busy with school life... Hope this year will be a blessed and wonderful one for all of us...
