Oopssy I skipped a month, poor August...
I am wishing everyone a Happy Eid Mubarak!
I had a great raya this year, last minute raya shopping without spending a dime. Boom boom, ain't it great if my whole life is easy like that?
Lately I'm being a person that always thinking about money – how to save more, how to earn more, so that I can spend more. I want money lots and lots of money. Not because money makes me happy, because it doesn't. However, money buys me freedom, which does make me happy.
Yesterday me & bf took a quick tour around Setiawangsa housing area, rich big beautiful homes up on the hill. I called it The Mind Spa tour - luxurious pampering of my imagination, him as the tour guide (the cousin's houses, the home owners, which street which movie scene, which house for what movie etc.) Aaahhh~ I want a house in KL. Well, real estate is always good, as far as I'm concerned...hmm..money come to me quickly, under grace, in perfect ways.

Jaw-dropper
O-M-G! Dramatic things!
Despite all my efforts to stay healthy and love my body, I was a little under the weather for few weeks going into July. But I have to be thankful because it could be much, much, much worse. Alhamdulillah.
Now I’m back - almost! I have had a lot of office stuff keeping me away from things that I love doing. Thus I keep getting extremely tempted to make an effort that involved leaving my comfort zone. Good for me huh. But obviously, such things take time. I'm just waiting until...jeng jeng jeng
Other not-so-serious things that have made my jaw drop are:

Other not-so-serious things that have made my jaw drop are:
- Adele! She is a gem. I've listened to both of her albums. In some songs, I just love how intense the chorus are and "you shower me with words made of knives" - I also love her heartbroken anger. 'Chasing Pavements' is my favourite song. 'Someone Like You' is so moving and filled with so much emotion.
- My 1st Tiffany & Co. and diamond! Something I’ve wanted for the longest time! I simply love the signature Tiffany bow on the box. Me and the boyfie headed down to KLCC last Sunday. When he bought me those without much hesitation, I looked at him, I know he's a keeper. Thank you B...
- Housing loan monthly instalment payment starts NOW! I bought my 1st house earlier this year...rmh lom siap lg tp mengade opt to start bayar awal kan, hamekkk ko Diyana! Damn, no more shopping days.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong is simply dazzling. In 5D4N, we (7 strong-willed ladies) covered most of the city's must-see sights such as Stanley Market, Victoria Peak, Madame Tussaud's Hong Kong, Hong Kong Disneyland, Sky100, Avenue of Stars, Symphony of Lights show, Tsim Sha Tsui etc. Plus, day trip to Macau - City of Dreams.
Shopping in Hong Kong is a dream every ardent shopper looks to fulfil. One thing to feel about Hong Kong is to feel the rush as you indulge in shopping! I bought my first A|X, Lacoste, French Connection, H&M and Longchamp here, yeayyy! The expensives are still way cheaper than back home.
Credit card was my ultimate enabler for all the Hong Kong shopping. Ye, saye terjebak. The results are (expensive) blessings in disguise! Haha me likey!

Pop Health Enthusiast
I know I'm a health enthusiast when... I hunt for super foods! Calling it a pop, not rock, not heavy metal, not classical bcoz I'm not too extreme, yet. Super foods are defined as those foods which are so nutrient-rich that they can help fight aging and illness (salmon, berries, almonds etc.)
I'm not a gym-goer or someone living an active lifestyle at all, but I extremely care about my health and always practice caution and good hygiene. Earlier this year, Noran pointed out to me that at our age now we need to start religiously taking supplements and such, something internal. I couldn't agree more! My health/looks has deteriorated due to lack of sleep, work stress, hormone imbalance, err post breakup depression, newly-in-love symptoms (acne! huhu). Plus, I know I'm not that old but why am I starting to feel old? Well guess what? It's normal, as according to a study, women consider themselves old at 29 ("Thanks" to society's obsession with youth and beauty) – half the age of men who don’t feel over the hill until they are 58.
Recently I started a new regime that involves weekly steam bath and fresh goat's milk. Every Friday, I'll buy at least a (small RM7! erghh mahal) bottle of goat's milk and go for a 20-30 minutes steam bath right after office. I will continue this until my personal preferences and sensitivities (if any) become clear. A great way to kick start the weekend.
Some people are kind of ageless, no matter what age. I want to be one too. Please, oh please let me be *Sigh

April Acceleration
Hello, I just got back from a 2-day teambuilding session at Janda Baik. Penaaaaatttttttt!
This month seems almost over. So much is happening at once. I went to see the F1 race at Sepang International Circuit. The boyfriend managed to get us Grandstand tickets - a great view, right opposite the pitlane. He's crazy about cars - I knew right from the beginning coz he gives his Benzy so much love. My car is buruk already, the god-help-me look on his face was so obvious when he first saw my car hahaha. And by our 3rd date he came out with a plan on getting me a new car. I said Noooooo! Membazir (Only for now)
F1 race is unlike anything in the world. 20 cars accelerating from 0 to 100 MPH in 3 seconds is an incredible sight to see and even more thrilling to hear! I hope Vettel can defend his victory from the previous year. Webber and Button are drool-worthy though hehe
Like the F1 race, my life in April just keeps on accelerating. Change is occurring at breakneck speeds. I already paid 10% down payment for my first house, yeayyy I'm so broke! I've met his family...twice! I'll bring him home to meet my parents too this weekend. Bonus month! Although personally it has been a bad 2010 for me, but not the company performance. I was a bit surprised, but not in a bad way. Who ever thought a year gone so wrong, would turn out so lovely in 2011. Now we are reaping the benefits of hard work =)
Many things to plan, many things to settle. And some things in life seem too ridiculous to be true sometimes. Even when something does live up to the hype, we try to convince ourselves it’s not true..eh?
Anyhow, I'll always try to be grateful in all circumstances.
In a word - Gratitude.
