Bits And Pieces

I was pleasantly surprised by these bags and card on my bed when I came back home yesterday after a day-long course. Yep, a course on a Sunday and it was a mother's day Sunday...  Nevertheless, lucky me to return home to see these on my bed and it's for the first time ever I receive mother's day gift from all of my children ... Thanks guys for making my day after a long and tiring weekend...

This picture is said to be used by the psychologist to measure our level of stress. Look at this picture closely and if your see some movement, that means you are stressful. The faster it moves the higher level f your stress... Luckily I see only slight movement so that means I'm slightly stressful...really hope that it is the truth... Whenever I'm stressed, I would think of chocolate but some of my friends said they would  go 'shopping '.... How do you handle your stress???

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 ...

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...
