Things I do during free time at the office.

I know I am dead and screwed if my bosses knows about this. But it doesnt take much time anyway plus I've done all my work so.....

Anyways, I was quiet free and I was browsing for ideas to spruce up the looks of my work place. And I was at the verge of buying a mouse pad, cute ones of course in Shopee when I come across a DIY one. But of course, I didnt have the material needed referring to the tutorial. And all of the sudden, an idea came. To make it using recycled paper. Since I have quiet a lot. So why waste.

I collected a bunch of recycle paper, and download and print a cut-out template. I pasted them all in layers and in the top layer, I print out a wallpaper (black&white ones because I dont want to be wasting a lot of toner) and pasted it on. So now, I have a mouse pad. And also a coaster. Which I made them myself. Both of it. Its not that neat and pretty but I feel its quiet good enough to give some mood and colors to my desk.






And behold, my desk. The abstract that I chose quiet outstanding and kinda gives colors and mood to my work space. (mood; read: moody) hahahaha. I still need to do more on this place. I hate my under table. Its messy but I have no choice. I might have to ask Joanne for another tray for all my stuffs or just do another diy from cereal boxes to put all my A4 papers and letterhead.

I dont know. I might, tomorrow. In sha Allah. But the thing is, I dont have cereal boxes. Hahahah. And also, my Hermo parcel arrived yesterday and I cant wait to try the Huxley anti-gravity cream!

Wasalam. Love, Nina M.

September Summary

Life has been moving on so fast and we've past office moving day, my birthday, buying a vanity mirror, so-called all girls trip and so much more. And I'm just gonna do a quick summary over this.

Early September. Office moving day. So we had few dramas, this and that but alhamdulillah, everything goes well and just gonna show you my place. My cubicle. My seat. Not very fond of it though since we got a smaller table this time, and I dont know how to decorate it. But I am looking for more inspiration.


I just dont know to decorate but I want to add some more details and sophistication to it. I dont know how I should do it. I might look in pinterest later. I did peek on few of my colleagues table and I feel a bit inspired but I wouldnt want to be called copycat.

But really, I think I like my working space to be quiet minimal and not messed up.

Ikea trip. Getting Harris's baby chair and got myself a mirror. Just to complete my so-called vanity table.


Vanity table and mirror and so pricey, disregard where its sold. So since we already have a table to put all my skincare and make ups, I asked husband if he could get me a mirror because since we enter this house, I dont have any mirror. So I got this for RM29.90 only. This one sticks using a double tape. Just a simple one, since we are also in a very tight budget and just really in need of a mirror. And we also got a cheap chair for me. Just good enough for me to sit down and do all my skincare routine, berangan here and there. Haha. 

Putrajaya trip, airbnb. So my mom rent an airbnb on Sunday and Monday. The so-called all girls trip. Harris had such a good time at the pool. I was in my period and I wouldnt dare going into the pool. Too bad. I had this issue during our free trip to Sunway Lagoon too. Sobs. 


Just me, self-vaining under a good lighting. 

The girls, except Harris. 

So its Asu's job to take care of Harris while swimming. Mummy cant help on that. Harris really loves the pool. I really wanted to train him so he could learn to swim. Unlike me. In sha Allah. 

And so, of course, the highlight of September would be my birthday. 19th September. On that day, husband insisted that I we should not carpool. He said he dont want me to wait for him and going home late because I'll end up getting tired and feeling groggy because unable to do all the house chores. 

Little did I know, he did a little surprise for me. He went back along with flowers and cake. I never felt so appreciated. Alhamdulillah. 




Husband was all selekeh (according to him) so he doesnt want to be in the picture. I wasnt expecting anything though since we both so busy with work and been struggling financially but he managed to pull off a little surprise for me and I've never felt so loved and appreciated. 

And now, I am committing pumping for every 2 hours. I bought a handsfree and also a silent pump. So I could pump at my own cubicle now. I am now able to commit pumping every 2 hours to increase my milk supply. 


This all cost me a fortune but I feel the need of it since I need to cut down on formula milk, since its very pricey and I dont think I could afford it twice every month. Breastfeeding fulltime is not an easy task y'know. All those pain when pumping, it hurts. But for the sake of cutting on our expenses, in sha Allah. 

I guess this summarizes my September. I just currently lost touch of my blogging vibes. Probably due to lack of blog walking. So I kinda need to get myself onto it. Finding ideas to blog etc. 

And today, I am soooo sleepy. Its been few days of going back late, and the grogginess continues. Thinking of all the unwashed dishes, messy bed and house, I just feel like I need an extra hour every morning to clean it all. Since now I am cooking lunch for both of us so I really need to wake up quiet early and prep everything before bed. But y'know, it aint easy since I sometimes coming back late so Harris would be so sleepy by then. 

But really, I want to change the habit. I want to get up after putting Harris to bed but everytime I tried, hubs said I didnt respond when he tries waking me up. So......

Haihhh. The never-ending internal problem with myself. I need to change. I have to. 

Wasalam. Love, Nina M.

Angry seating position

Wow its been so long of no updates. Seriously. I've been very busy, with office moving out, catching up with work and life. Its been splendid and also excruciating. But I'm just gonna shrug it off. I dont want to post that much negativity in my blog, because I dont want to end up making another blog just to close this one.

Husband knows me so well that at times, I just dont know how he manage to marry me, live with me & even raising a baby together. But I sure can tell you this, his patience is really high. Unlike myself, I get mad and pissed off very easily. There are mornings I would totally wake up on the left side of the bed, and feeling not wanting to talk, and triggered and every single thing husband do. Pity him. For the past few days, we've been going home very late and by the time we got home, I will straight put Harris to bed and I would fall asleep too, accidentally. And all those unwashed dishes, messy homes, such pet peeves to myself. I hate it. I despise it. And those things rendered me moody in the morning. Many mornings I wake up feeling groggy due to not showering before bed, or pampers myself with tv shows, no skincare routine, phone uncharged. Ahhhh the feeling is not cool! Since we got home so late, I tend to fall asleep along with Harris and only startled up the next morning. Thank god I am in my menstrual period. I did ask husband to wake me up before he go to bed but he said I dont want to wake up. I guess I am too tired.

Anyways, so this morning is one of the groggy morning episodes where I forgot to keep my pumped milk inside the fridge, only realizing it at 5am in the morning, and its already bad, unwashed dishes, unwashed breast pump cups and everything! I seriously mean everything. I was pissed off at my husband because I reminded him to keep it since we came home late and Harris was already crying because he's sleepy. I rushed to put him to bed and of course, I fell asleep. And husband tried waking me up but I just didnt realize that.

So after sending Harris to Kakna, we made our way to my office. Husband asked me;

Hubs: You dont want to talk to me?
Me: *kept quiet*
Hubs: *holds my hand*. You usually talk to me, why not now?
Me: You know I am still pissed off, right?
Hubs: *keeps holding my hand*
Hubs: You know, when you sits like this, it means you're mad.
Me: What seating position?
Hubs: That seating position *eyes pointing at my seating position*. I see that when you're mad, you sits like this.
Me: *change my seat position to a....urm idk because I think I usually sits like this*


So now, I have my own angry seating position. I didnt know a person could have that. So this is a living proof that my husband notices little tiny things about me.

Wasalam. Love, Nina M.

In laws came into town

With recent crisis with the car, and all the emergency expenses we had to pay, we are nearly broke. Seriously. And its been months since we went back to Johor to my in laws. They havent got to see Harris for quite some time. We thought of going back this week, nevertheless because husband been missing his family so bad now. On Thursday, we were quite busy with our work and havent got the time to discuss. And suddenly husband told me that his brother, Faiz, called him saying that they want to come to KL. Just the four of them though. Mak, Adam, Faiz & Danny. Husband was delightful! Of course, he's been wanting to go back to see his mom for sooooo long. But of course, he felt a bit of guilt because it should be us going to them, not otherwise. And of course, I think Mak has been missing Harris for so long. And husband too. Husband wanted them to be here quick he asked them to get the earliest ticket, that Thursday night. He said so he could spend the whole three days with them. 

And so, they arrived on Thursday night, went straight to bed. They arrived late night that me and Harris are already asleep. Friday was mostly a resting day. And day husband gets to hang out with part of his family. Playing video games, and he wants Mak to cook too. I'm sure he missed his mother's cooking. 

On Saturday, we really did not know where to bring them. We had this option of bringing them to a park or shopping mall. And we brought them to Taman Metropolitan Kepong. 










We had fun, nevertheless. Including me. I think they prefer hanging out at this place rather than malls because they rarely have much time and places to do outdoor activities like this, especially Adam. He's not used with going out and meeting people that much and so we want to give him an exposure to the surroundings, as well to husband's other siblings too. Interact and doing outdoor activities like this are much better than hanging out at mall. 

And we also didnt spend much money on food because we opted for dining in. Means we bought all the groceries and cook. Plus, its a good chance for me to not waste much veggies. I dont always have time to cook everything in bunch so with guests around, I get to cook a lot. Hahaha. 

On our way back, we dropped by at Batu Caves. Now that the staircase are soooo pretty and all of them want to see them too. But sadly, I waited in the car because Harris was so tired and he fell asleep. So I waited for them to roam around. 


Not much photo though. But the staircase is soooo pretty! From afar,  it looks so mesmerizing. After that, we went straight to TBS to get ticket for them. Its a long holiday so I am pretty sure the tickets might finish early so I told husband to get them a day earlier. 

We went home feeling tired but so happy. And had dinner. Its pleasing to see husband feeling so contented and having fun with his siblings. Its been so long for him. Poor guy. 

The next day, after breakfast, husband took his siblings around Masjid Jamek for a light shopping and jalan-jalan. So only left me, Mak & Harris at home cooking for lunch before sending them to TBS for their bus home. 


I'm just glad they had real fun. Alhamdulillah. And Harris was delightful too. Because he fancies kids. Everytime he sees Adam, he would hug Adam's head and smiling like soooo wide, laughing, wanting to play with Adam. He loves when the house is so full of people. I can leave him with my in laws, can do much work and oh boy Harris is just soooo happy. I am so happy seeing him that way. 

Around after Zuhur, and lunch, we send them to TBS. The traffic was disappointing and thankfully they didnt miss the bus. I swear I heard the last call for their bus and rushing them to go to the terminal asap. Its sad we didnt get to hang around before they depart and I totally blame husband for this. Hahaha. I told him lets arrive early so we could hang around before they depart and also no rushing. He said, ala no need. Their bus is at 4.30pm and we go out from our house at 3.30pm. Sheeessshhh. And they were rushing for everything. Buying foods, loo visit and everything. Husband said their bus havent arrived yet when they come down, but they depart right at 4.40pm. Imagine if I didnt rush them to their terminal.... Haihhh I hate rushing though. 

After I nagged him for that, and right after they depart, we went to Aeon Au2 to get few essentials and I just want to browse around for shoes. And then we went straight to Mama's house to return the Starex and take our Viva back. We arrived home around Maghrib and the house is sooooooo quiet..... Harris was looking for everybody though. Poor cikenit. He loves the company so bad.

Back home, after I shower, I prepared my lunch box, Harris's stuff, my nursing stuffs and went straight to bed. It was a long weekend for us. A tiring but delightful ones. And boy, I sure dont want to wake up this morning. I want more sleep. 

But we all had fun! Alhamdulillah.

Wasalam. Love, Nina M.
