Wah Ichiro sekarang hari2 makin la buat rambut i gugur. Kene tarik rambut satu la kan, pastu dgn dia yg tk reti duduk diam, meliuk lintuk tk tentu pasal, mmg buat I mengucap banyak kali. Ehe.

Sekarang ni, baring salah, dukung tk nak…nk crawl jer 24hrs. Bukan tanak kasik, tapi rumah ni ada kucing so cam bulu2 byk kt atas lantai, wpun dah mop hari2 still kucing tu masuk rumah hari-hari jugak kan. So jadinya cam tk berapa nk kasik dia crawl. Kalau kt rumah kampung I boleh, sbb we don’t have pet.

Memanjat satu lagi hal yg buat I gugur rambut. Like mcm semua benda nk dipanjat. Katil, meja, kerusi, piano…semua benda lah. Kalau dibiarkan agaknya dah panjat sampai ke langit.

Pastu semua benda nk masuk mulut. Arghhhh. Gigi baru nk tumbuh 2, karang gigit macam-macam takut rosak gigi senget benget. Kasik teether tk laku. Saper tahu teether yg baby suka? Sbbnya, Ichiro ni mcm tahu teether is a teether and dia akan gigit sekejap jer lepas tu buang. Tk laku. And then will demand for hard stuff like remote astro and handphone. I think all babies are the same. Remote astro mmg jadi pujaan hati. So seriously, kalau ada sesapa tahu teether yg best yg baby suka, do let me know eh. Nk beli jugak.

Ichiro sekarang boleh stay awake up to 5 hours. Tapi kalau dengan I, I make sure the most pon 3 hours. Lepas tu dia mesti kene tidur and isi minyak (minum susu). Sebabnya, kalau jadual tidur dia tk betul, he will ended up cranky and jadi grumpy and botakkan kepala daddy dia pulak. Hee. Ok la, enjoy some recent pics of Ichiro. I took it masa tgh main-main with him. Agak mencabar sbbnya he wants to reach for the camera. So jadinya, I just simply snap mana-mana yg sempat. Sambil layan customer Usana, reply email, sambil look after my son, sambil ambil gambar…talking about multitasking

I WON!

HP TouchSmart600 PC

Maybe some of you have heard about me winning the “Blog A Trend” contest by HP computer.  Click HERE to read my winning entry. Yup, you heard it right I won the grand prize which is the latest HP TouchSmart600 PC worth RM4,988. WOW, I’m pretty impressed with myself now. Haha. This is the second time I won a gadget from online contest. The first one was 2 years back where I won myself a PS2 for my iTalk entry and for this time around, I won a latest computer by HP and it is the most expensive prize that I’d ever won so far. Adakah kerana I love gadget so much, so semua hadiah yg saya menang pon gadget-gadget belaka? If yes, god please make it happen more often. Ehe.

Alhamdullilah, rezeki Ichiro

When I discovered about the contest and prizes, I was genuinely interested to join. Firstly maybe because I love the topics. I never got a chance to write something that is beyond imagination as I think no one would show any interest to it [same goes to all my health entries also...hohoh]

Secondly the prize. I was super excited to know the generous prizes that HP offering and was thinking that maybe I should give it a try since contest Friso Gold Nuffnang adalah lauk [saguhati pon tk menang ok]. Hahaha. And I always wanted to buy a computer/laptop for my husband and he always insists for a Windows computer. I told him that I won’t buy him a computer/laptop if it is not a MAC. Once a MAC always a MAC. So, another reason for me to enter the contest is to win the computer [that apparently use Windows] and give it to my husband.

My first errrr..my husband’s first touch screen computer

Alhamdullilah again, maybe my nawaitu nk join contest adalah mulia [giggling], finally the computer is mine! Yayy! I did plan to keep it as a secret so that I could surprise my husband later, but knowing me, I can’t wait. Imran was so happy and tersengih-sengih tk tentu arah upon hearing the news. Hihi. He quickly asked where to letak the computer. I said you need to do some housekeeping and find a place to put your new computer. And today he told me, he gonna kemas our room, shove the bed and yada yada. [semangat ok sampai nk alih katil, apakah?] Hehe..cute tho.

Nuffnang was the first published the news and followed by an email from HP acknowledging me about me winning the grand prize. Best giler!

Official result announced on HP website

I need to attend the prize presentation ceremony and apparently many other bloggers will attend the event too. Hmmm, what should I wear then? Will I be featured in Buletin Utama? Ahaks!

Oh btw, my husband and I went to Putrajaya today for a photo shoot session with Lina the lomo lady. She invited us for the session and I was more than happy to accept the offer. So, lets hope the pictures will turn out ok and lovely. Sbbnya guna camera lomo adalah challenging ok, kerana tidak boleh immediately check gambar yg you telah snap and tidak juga ada option utk delete. Sbb lomo pakai filem. Waaaaaa, dah la I ni asyik nk terkelip jer mata. Below are few pictures taken by my husband during the session. So, stay tune for the write up.

Pose sambil berkerut-kerut sbb panassssss

Sebaik ada railing, if not Lina dah tergolek masuk air kot tu..hihi

Not all fish oil supplements are made alike – find out how Usana Biomega is different

Fish oil that contains Omega 3 (DHA & EPA) is very important for brain development especially for baby and kids. It is actually important to everyone [to prevent from Alzheimer diseases and maintain strong memory] unless if you got no brain, if you can read my post pretty sure you are human and has a brain. There are many other info on Omega 3 that you can find on the internet, for example HERE . So, when it comes to choose the right Omega 3 supplements, why should you choose Usana Biomega above all?

Because;

Virtually free of contaminants such as heavy metals and mercury – through DOUBLE-MOLECULAR distillation process. Read HERE the comparison between molecular distilled and normal filtration. Does your Omega 3 supplements undergo advance distillation process like Usana Biomega? Or just normal filtration process?

Free of trans-fatty acids

One of the purest and highest quality in the market today

With Vitamin D and Natural lemon oil added

FREE FROM HEAVY METALS [SUCH AS MERCURY] & OTHER CONTAMINANTS

Yes, it is free from heavy metals and contaminants. Thanks to Usana advance technology in distillation which called HIGH VACUUM MOLECULAR distillation and distilled it twice for greater purity.

FREE FROM TRANS-FATTY ACIDS

Trans-fatty acid is a fat that is produced when liquid fat (oil) is turned into solid fat through a chemical process called hydrogenation. Eating a large amount of trans-fatty acids also raises blood cholesterol and risk of heart disease. [psssttt do you need a clue what type of food that contains high trans-fatty acids? FAST FOOD it is]

COMPLETE WITH VITAMIN D [GOOD FOR SUPPORTING BONE HEALTH]

WHY DO I NEED BIOMEGA DURING PREGNANCY?

To mothers and mother to be out there, maybe this is the perfect time to supplementing yourself with Usana Biomega and later give birth to a genius and healthy baby, insyallah

SOURCE OF FISH

IS BIOMEGA SUITABLE FOR KIDS TOO?

I paste herewith an email that I get from Usana Nutritionist regarding supplementing kids with Biomega

With all the benefits mentioned above, do you still wondering why it is called Biomega III (3) PLUS? It is the “PLUS” factor that set Usana far better than any other Omega 3 and EPO supplements.

Announcing winner of Biomega Contest

Sorry for delay announcing the winner of Biomega Contest. My earlier plan was to let my son pick the winner by lucky draw method. But , I don’t think it is possible to be done due to;

• kinda lazy to prepare small pieces of paper, write the names on it..yada yada
• the weather is super hot and i can easily get mad over nothing [yup thats me]
• Ichiro loves to eat paper so much, so I don’t want to let him involve with the small pieces of paper and later struggle to take it back from him
• weather is hot

Apart from lazy, i’m also busy with lotsssss of things, banyak nyer lahai alasan haku ni kan? Ni la melayu. Hihi.

By the way, weather is really testing my patience [i'm now sitting in the main hall with air-conditioning and fan on. The electric bill will cost my dad a bomb this month]

So, I think the best method to select the winner is by random.org. Here goes list of the participant.

There are few more, but some of them mcm tk berapa faham syarat contest. Well, there’s always next time, nnt I buat lagi contest you guys join ok . So for now, kiter tengok siapa yg kenaaaaaaaa…..[terkedek2 bawak dadu besar]

Dadu tunjuk nombor 1 daaaa…

So, nombor 1 dalam list adalah Cik Pid! Woot woott! Mcm tk aci kan Cik Pid menang , sbb dia adalah distributor Usana jugak..hehe tapi mmg my contest open to everyone, so kemenangan Cik Pid adalah sah I rolled the dice 3 times actually as for the first 2 throw, results adalah 6 and 5. Since org yg masuk contest ada 4 org jer, so I kene roll la buat kali ketiga.

So, Cik Pid nnt I hantar the biomega to you ok. Am thinking to make another contest in near future, so stay tune ok. Walaupon contest tk ramai yg join [due to maybe sbb i tk buat sticky post about the contest or maybe sbb u all tk minat supplements] but Biomega sales increase tremendously because of the contest. Yeah, waiting is sucks and lagi-lagi2 mcm I yg dok delay nk announce winner. So baiklah beli terus Ehe.

Usana promo & new blog layout!

Boo!! Hehehe. Am pretty excited with the new layout. So, excuse the “retard” behavior.

Usana Promo

As much as I excited about the layout, am also excited to announce that Usana promo is BACK. Yes, you read it right, Usana promo is BACK! With capital B. And now even better as you will get a free gift for any Usana products [nutrimeal, fibergy, essentials, proflavanol...all of them] that you wish to purchase. Sweet.

Click here for more details of the promotions. Kindly fill up the form attached on Usana promotions page to inquire more info or to place your order. You may refer the price list HERE for the product pricing. Am selling all products at “wholesale/harga borong” price.

Here are fliers [designed by Aini] for the promos, do make your way to my Usana Promotion page for more details.

New Layout

Well, I have been so busy for the past few days working with the web developer for the blog make over. Kudos to Aini! The original design was taken from elegantthemes website and since I want it to be more personalize, thus I hired her to get the job done for me.

Original design

Have been working with quite a number of web/graphic designer [including foreigner] ever since I started my blogging profession and frankly speaking, it’s rather hard to find a web developer/ graphic designer that’s really committed to their job. However, I can recommend few names of designer that I think can give you a good service. [I think la...]

Aini is highly recommended too. I got to know her and her twin sister Ain for quite sometime already. One thing I love about Aini [or better known as "sugarush"], she always deliver her work as what I’ve expected. She never complaint even though I kept changing my mind [dalam hati i tatau la kan hihih] and plus she never asked me to top up any additional amount shall I requested her to do something that is beyond her scope. To cut it short, she’s not really berkira and selalu kire cincai jer. Itu ciri-ciri kesukaan ku! Terbaek ok.

She is a full time web developer and her charges is quite reasonable [because I didn't bargain at all - not even a cent]. But there are also many so-called web designer yg sometime I rasa kerjanya adalah ala-ala sahaja but charging like crazy – nothing else outstanding about them except the hefty price. Huhu. Ohhh trust me, been there and done that.

Most important Aini has a very strong command in programming. Normally when I did something to my blog and caused it to be haywire, I will for sure run to Aini. Hehe. But now, since I’m using layout designed by her so i think she must has the backup file ready. Well, she better has!

Oh here is a screen shot of Aini’s latest work. A wedding supply boutique own by her twin sister Ain “Creatively Designed”. I like it. Neat and attractive.

Half

Ok my plan last night didn’t turn out well. Hehe. I got a suprise for you guys [hmm suprise ker eh?] …or at least I think it is a suprise for my blog readers la. Hihih. Kalau u guys tk rasa cam surprise benda tu, ok laaa I tk kecik hati. Hihi.

But, then since I was too busy sampai kol 3 lebih pagi baru terhegeh-hegeh nk packing order Usana, so end up semua plan for today backfire. Hope today, I boleh kasik settle ah benda-benda yang pending tu and then “surprise” you guys. Heeee. Oh pleaseeeee terkejut la ok eh. Tk terkejut pon, act jer la sket kasik I happy. Ehe.

Weeelllll, plan yang dah tk jadi tu we just forget about it la for the time being. When it happens, be sure to be surprise [or act like one]. For now would love to share something that is very inspiring with all my readers. It’s a video, you’ve gotta watch till the end ok. It arrived in my email inbox yesterday. I was speechless and at the same time feel sad for myself [not for the guy in the video]. I felt sad that I was once a “handicapped” too. Not physically but mentally.

Do you know what had always set me back all these while? I mean what has stopped me from stretching out all of my inner potential?

Well, all these while I always thought that “I am just a half kinda person” Do you know what I meant by “half”?

Half means in whatever things that I do…that I capable to do, I was only able to do it half good. Yeah, semua separuh-separuh. Goshh…

• I can blog, but I’m not a famous blogger
• I can play the piano, but only couple of songs and I didn’t attend any official class
• I can sell stuff on my blog, but not many people buy it
• I can draw , but I can’t draw perfectly especially the eyes part

Do you notice the devil word in every single line? Yeah it was the “BUT” that set me back all these while. The real culprit. I’m still trying to make sure that all the above are past tense, errr I still can’t draw the eyes but will think some brilliant ways to camouflage it. Huhuh. Sometimes flaw in drawing also flattering [to myself la..hihi]. And I tell you the list is actually hell longer than the above [close to endless]

I’m no longer that “half” person anymore. I’m living my life to the fullest. I’m living my life to get the best out of it. So, if you fail are you going to try again and again?

So, happy watching and drop some comment on what you think about the video yah! And stay tune for the “surprise”.

p/s: now you know that I’m an art person. but i tk karang sajak2 bulan bintang bagai. hihi. but I do love reading poem Somewhat soothing to me And now am trying my art skills on sewing plak. wink;)
