Samsung Aircond RM999 Free Installation AEON Alamanda

Salam semua.

Sehat-sehat hendaknye.

Semalam saya ke AEON Alamanda formerly known as Carrefour. AEON dah took over ye saudara saudari. Pelannya nak ganti dapor yang rosak tapi tup tup terlihat ada promotion free installation untuk aircond jenama Samsung. Dalam hati kecik berkata2 "buat aircond pulak si Samsung ni". Tapi memang ada y'all. Aircondnye sungguh cantek molek cutting badannya tak semacam aircond buruk yang kakra pakai sekarang.

Nak tengok? Tengok je tau jangan kutuk. Ni hah!

Dah 2 tahun pakai ni tak serbis lagi. Tapi masih ok sejuknye.
Cuma yer la tak berapa nak buleh control climate macam aircond jenama ler.

Mintak maap ler ye kakra pakai jenama tak gelemer lansgung, ELBA jer uols. Kalau geng Diva tengok mesti kutuk ni. Yang penting sejuk sama cam ekon hok lain jugok. :)

Aircond Samseng ni kecik comel y'all. Regenye pun murah aje RM999 sebab 1 hp (kuasakuda). Kebiasaannya installation RM170 di AEON tapi dapat free installation sekarang. Jadi, cepat-cepat ke kedai AEON berdekatan untuk membuat pembelian sekarang. Lupa plak nak bagitau, boleh buat EPP (Easy Payment Plan) ye from 6 - 24 bulan bergantung kepada nilai pembelian. So, tunggu apa lagi, kalau ada duit tersepak tu bolehlah bersegera. Tapi kakra ni sebenarnya takler selalu on hekond ni sebab mudah terkena selesema nanti. Jadi pandai2 ler mengkontrol situasi untuk tidak memudaratkan.

Oh ye terlupa nak tunjuk gambar hekond si Samseng ni.  Kalu nak tengok model-modelnye boleh intai di sini http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/home-appliances/air-conditioner. Kakra buat promosi percuma jer ni, Samsung atau AEON tak teringin pun nak bayar.

Cute tak? Sangat kan!

Dinner at DoubleTree By Hilton Kuala Lumpur

"It's the times we're so crazy, that people think we're high. It's the times we laugh so hard, we can't help but cry. It's all the inside jokes and "remember whens". Those are all the reasons that we're best friends!" - Unknown

I have one word to describe tonight get-together raya dinner -  'royalty'. 

First, I was wearing yellow baju kurung.

Second, we were treated like kings and queens.

Third, the foods were amazingly fabulous like you are in a palace.

Fourth, everyone (the head chef, the cooks, the entrance girl, the waiter and the rest of tonite's crew) kept greeting us with smiling faces.

And finally, all my royal friends (oopss did I say royal? I meant loyal) were all able to make it tonight and our 3 hours together felt like it just started.

Did I mention I had dinner at DoubleTree by Hilton KL (DTBH) tonight? A friend of mine (who is friend No #4) who is a member of Hilton KL was going to expire his DTBH membership soon. Did I mention we have a whatsapp group called "Edinburgh Club"? Yeah, we do and that's not up for discussion for now. We'll talk about it later. Friend No #4 kind of suggested for us to have a get-together raya dinner at DTBH and we kind of agreed because it has great discount for members, up to 50%. Isn't that exceptionally great? And I just found out tonight that it costs only RM500++ to be a member (that was last year rate and it might change from time to time, but still, surprisingly affordable right?). The foods were awesome, the crew were warm and great and the service was top-notch. 

It is kind of unfair to just say all these without some proofs right? So, let me validate my points by sharing some photos captured by my sister iPhone using 360 apps and my old Samsung normal camera.

The restaurant was called Makan Kitchen. For international readers, makan means eat.

There are 3 stations available : main station (more of  malay dishes + desserts ) and the other two are Indian and Chinese food stations. This picture is a noodle station which was set up at main station with three choices of soup, tom yam, chinese herbal soup (which I had and it was amazing) and chicken soup.

Indian food Station which is located behind the main station. Look at the dips. Gosh, I love all these colors. Don't know why there were not many people seated at the station. I guess it was kind of bit gloomier (maybe because of the lack of light) and the decoration was not as cosy and welcome and the foods were not as variety as the other two stations.

Chinese Station which is on left side of the main station. We were seated at this station since the guy who is in black shirt (a Mount Kinabalu shirt or something) chose it. I like it here. Felt like we had the best seat in the house. Though we kind of seated a bit far from the main station (less than 1 minute of walking), we did not mind at all since it was so cosy and beautifully decorated. But, once I heard friend no #4 asked "kenapa ko pilih sini?". I jumped to answer and defended Mt Kinabalu guy "I like it here. We had the best seat in the house. The chair is so comfortable and my sweet little niece who was not an eater like me (because she said *in her own words "adik tak nak gemok". Yes, sometimes I crash and burn!) seemed to be enjoying foods so much so that she visited the restroom twice for big cause :).

Fondue everyone! If I were a kid,
I will not move my feet elsewhere.

ABC was great. Most of the times hotels do not produce good ABC but I like it here.

Choices of salads. So many. This is just a teaser.
Go there and you know  what I meant.

Desserts everyone. Creme brûlée, strawberry cheese cake,
caramel, chocolate walnut and
many choices of malay kueh
 were in the house.
There goes my diabetic diet.

This is a nice surprise to all of us. A fortune cookies! A closing to our great night. It was fun to have this at the end of our dinner conversation. Let see who gets what!

Mine was the first from bottom. Followed by Friend No #4, Lady in Red Scarf, Sweet Sensational lady in Kebaya, Friend No #2 and Mt Kinabalu Shirt Guy. Of course, we do not believe any of this but it was fun what! What a great night.


Till next get-together y'all. Where else to go next time ya?
DoubleTree by Hilton KL again? Yeah, why not.

Business Is Not My Forte

“My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.” ― Oscar Wilde

Let us begin with the 'flash backward'. When I was small, I lived in Kampung in Kota Bharu (yess kampung but in KB), mom rajin plant vegetables for our own consumption and sometimes sell to neighbors. I was always the sweet girl who followed mom and went around houses to sell whatever vegetables mom plucked that day. Years later, I entered Uni and the notion that business is not something easy to get yourself into and with many business failures lying around, I started to see that working with the government is the best choice one could have. Secured, stable, no failure. 

I am now an employee with a secured job, a nice little saving, able to travel once in a while, can afford doubletree by hilton with 50% discount (since I have friend No #4 who is a member) and travel by Airasia because Now Everyone Can Fly. But off late, I have been contemplating. 

Nak niago mende ni!

See, Islam encourages us to get involved in business activities. There are few ayah and hadith mentioned about this.  In fact, business is considered as the highest source of income.  Rasulullah SAW said in one of the hadiths, (translated in bahasa) “9/10 rezeki itu adalah datang daripada perniagaan.” (Hadith Al Tirmizi).

I am now considering going back to my roots (chewahh!). During my last trip to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, I found a lot of business opportunities there and I even bought extra stuffs for sale later to potential customers. I also met a supplier by the name Dany who brought me and my 2 friends to visit their factory or maybe I should say their rumah kedai. Masha'allah, dan dan I feel like this is what I want to do. Be a businesswoman, but hashtag a muslim kind of business person insha'allah.

However, I know I do not have the skills and the experience, and since my blogging days has restarted, lucky me I just found out about this Konvensyen Usahawan Muslim 2013. If you are like me and having the same thoughts as I am and been contemplating long enough, why don't you just get on with it. 

Here is the link www.KonvensyenUsahawanMuslim.com . Get further info from the website and make yourself drive you there.

Here is the campaign ads;

All smiling faces. Sweet but meant business.

Hey, bussiness persons to-be, 

Promise me we will see each other there? If you happen to bump into a sweet sensational not-so young lady in yellow baju kurung made in Vietnam suited with a cream double tone scarf carrying a Oroton handbag, yes that is me (and yes I already know what to wear. so, sue me!)

Till we meet there!

Best Tuna Sandwich Recipe For Diet

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz


WHO DOESN'T LOVE TUNA?

I am a huge fan of tuna. Don't care about the smell. Once inside, what smell smell?

During my happy days (hmm) when I was living in Kangaroo Country, I love their fresh produce. OMG foods are heaven, magnifique (cakap omputes kena ala french baru cool), unbeatable, but that does not mean I do not appreciate what I have here back home. It is just that I was happier because food is my everything. And that is also why I miss COLES, ALDI & WOOLWORTH (*like carrefour, giant and tesco la kat sini) so much. Everything is so cheap, yet so tasty & delicious. So, please do not believe the notion that cheap stuffs are of lesser quality or in my case less tasty.

Well, my friends if you happen to visit down under, please and please do not miss the chance to pay a trip to all these stores. Not only you get the experience of touring the stores (which I always do) but you could save some meal/food budgets during travel because they have a lot of amazing and fabs microwavable foodstuffs and what I love most is they have many halal labels. Crazy best, right? (translated as giler syok, kan?)

At home (where it is so aman these days..hmm), we have quite few brands for tuna like Ayam brand and TC Boy. But I prefer Ayam brand. Before, it just cost 3-4 hengget. Now already jumped to RM5+. Imagine if TPPA settles in. Weii..don't take it the wrong way, I have nothing against it, but we got to study all pros and cons and make sure we profit and benefit. Do not work in haste, nothing goes smooth in haste. I know cos I am a hasty-type of person and nothing good ever comes out of it. So, are we cool?

Melesia Mari*

This looks amazing

TIPS

See, I like to cook but I do not like preparing the ingredients. But I have a sister, who is small (cos I'm plump so I'm stating this point as FYI) and sweet and pretty and she helps me in the kitchen a lot. When she prepares, she does it like a pro, so neat and beautiful. Everything is cut nicely like you are having a contest. Sometimes it annoys me because I do not like to wait and this cutting stuffs is taking sometime to finish. However, let me tell you this, it is worth the wait. Who would have thought that sandwiches with good cutting and arrangement taste better? Thats why I tell ya when you have sandwich at your 5-Star hotels, breakfast ala Diva, it taste so d*** good!

Hey, enjoy your sandwich. Tell me how do you find the recipe.

Tentang Kawan Part 1

True friendship comes when the silence between two people  is comfortable.” - David Tyson Gentry.


Sape takde kawan?

Kalau ada yang angkat tangan memang sah la makhluk paling hebat sebab boleh hidup sensorang ketawa, makan, melancong, berjimba, gi usrah/ceramah haji (auw!) semua sorang2 . Tapi konsepnye betul jugak tu sebab mati pun kekdahnye sensorang kan.

Anyhoots, I nak bagitau I suke berkawan. Kawan bagi I paling penting dalam diari kehidupan I selain dari mak ayah, adik-beradik, ipar duai, anak buah dan ketua kampung (sebab masa sekolah nak dapat biasiswa dan masa nak masuk U kena dapatkan signature dia).

Kawan-kawan kita ni ada macam-macam jenis pe'el perangai, so colorful. But honestly I adore them all. I crave for times to spend with them. I never want to lose any of them. Kadang2 tu I khayal sensorang kalaulah I kaya I nak terbangkan semua kawan2 I ke Swiss untuk sama2 menikmati percutian paling hebat dan cool. Borak sampai pagi, tidor atas padang di pergunungan Alps, hidup sebersih udaranya. Wow! Khayalan is the best.*hugs.

I nak tulis pasal kawan-kawan tanpa menyebut nama dan jika depa bacer belog yang tak berapa nak hidup ni depa tau dok tu depa.


Kawan 1

Dia ni kalau I tetiba wassap dan bercakap pasal nak lari dari Malaysia dan nak dok obersea bagai, dia tau la I ada masalah jiwe tu. Amat memahami keadaan dalaman dan jiwe karat I. Toksah la nak sembunyik2 mesti pecah punya. I had the best times so far travelling with her. Most memorable was in Madrid and Marrakesh. Seorang yang berprinsip tapi fleksibel. Tak suka menyusahkan walau kita sanggup disusahkan. Kadang tu I rasa macam I ni jenis demanding dan bermasalah pulak sebab kawan2 tak nak minta tolong. Macam tu ke I? Anyway if you are reading this, please write your comment here as anonymous.

Kawan 2 

Dia ni pemurah sangat. Seorang berjawatan tinggi dan bijak serta hebat mengendalikan Majlis. Juga hebat memandu dan tau semua jalan-jalan tak macam I yang pasti sesat kalau keluar bangi/kajang/putrajaya/serdang. Kalau kita susah dia akan usaha tolong. Bilik dia sentiasa ada stok makanan, kalau takde tu amat mustahil dan janggal sekali. Dia bukan sahaja kawan yang baik tapi seorang adik, kakak dan anak yang terlampau bertanggungjawab. I tau dia paham apa maksud I tulis ni. Cuma masalah kawan I ni dia tak suke bahase Inggeris. Ntah kenape. Susah nak kawen Mat Salleh ni.

Kawan 3

I met her not too long ago. Soft spoken and very sweet person. Her persona is beautiful, only dia je tak sedar hakikat tu. Dia ni jenis macam I jugak tak suka angka. Figures give headaches to us both. Pemurah dan out of the blue boleh bagi gifts tanpa sebab. Just because. I love the Gorgeous Mug sista. She is the kind of person yang akan belikan foods for you even if u never ask coz she cares. She also will always tanya khabar, just because. Namun begitu, we are so different in many ways. She's soft spoken while I am not. She's loveable while I am not. But we both love romance novels. Always koya2 ala heroin dalam novel. Tapi dia ni ada masa sedikit lurus dan lambat tangkap *her own words. Tapi once she got it, she got it. I pulak jauh skali dari lurus dan bab menangkap ni I champion. Tapi I jenis mudah lupa. Sebab I melayu tulen. See how different we are?

Kawan 4 

This kawan ni susah nak jumpa type dia. He is so good in what he does. Kadang2 I rasa dia ni perfectionist dalam banyak segi. Dia ni tegas dan tak pandai nak berpura-pura dalam banyak hal. Paling tak suke manusia hipokrit. Sesuatu yang unik pasal dia, tanya je pasal airlines, flight no, routes dan apa2 sewaktu dengannya, I bagi jaminan 10 tahun warranti macam kuali tefal dia akan menjawab dengan tepat. Orang dok sibuk2 beli kereta baru rumah besar, ada dia kesah? Takdenye dia nak tergugat. Tapi kalau airport tutup, dia takleh fly, train lambat, siap la dia meroyan. He is a also a loyal friend dan very considerate and understanding. Such a treasure to have in your life.


You see, people are different. Friends are people. So friends are different from you. Learn to accept your friends as they are. Because like you and me, kita semua ada kelemahan. And this kelemahanlah  yang membuatkan kita istimewa dan berbeza. So colourful and beautiful. Bukan begitu? To me, my friends are all beautiful and good people. I heart them all.

Benda Paling Susah Nak Buat Dalam Hidup

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” 
― Helen Keller, The Open Door

Assalamualaikum semua.

Mashaallah bersawang belog ni. Penulis hanyut dengan kehidupan yang tak glamer dan juga tak fun.

Sebelum terlambat dan memulakan perbincangan yang lebih akademik (konon*nak terkucil kakra bace) saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya kepada pembaca belog saya ni (macam ramai kan??). Kalau ada salah silap, terluka, terguris hati dan perasaan (propa tak abis!), sudilah kiranya dimaafkan. Tenkiu.

Jawapan kepada tajuk post : Mengekalkan MOMENTUM.

Saya tak tau apa masalah orang lain, tapi saya susah sangat nak dapat Momentum ni. Bila dah dapat tu, susah sangat nak steady meady. Mesti hilang. Dapat satu hari, hilang 47 hari. Anda macam mana?

Beria bercerita pasal momentum. Kang salah faham susah plak. Meh kita godek dulu definasinya sebelum kita kupas isu ini (akademik tak?)

Source: google pada dictionary.reference.com

Definasi pertama

Faham? Seriously I takleh relate maksud diberi dengan situasi I.

Definasi kedua

Aku masih hilang (google translate 'lost')

Definasi ketiga

Apa barang produk2 body mass ni weeii. Tapi no.3 tu macam memberi pencerahan sikit.

Definasi ke-ampat (remember ye '4' is my lucky no)

That's it. Now I can relate.

Dalam fizik, maksudnye 'tendency of a moving object (ambo ler tu) to continue moving'. Akhirnye fizik jugak menyelesaikan masalah ini. So adik2 dan kawan2, fizik tu penting and needs to be explored. Tau la tak suka fizik tapi tanpa fizik macam mana nak faham natural science, knowledge of nature. But now it's not the time to ramble about fizik. Lagipon bukan pandai pun kan.

See, my problem dulu dan sampai hari ini masih sama. Susah nak kekal momentum. Apa masalah orang macam ini. Let us categorise and contemplate. 

1. Kurang disiplin

2. Kurang motivasi

3. Kurang aktif

4. Kurang usaha

5. Kurang berfikir

6. Kurang asam*

*Source wikipedia: Asam secara umum merupakan senyawa kimia yang bila dilarutkan dalam air akan menghasilkan larutan dengan pH lebih kecil dari 7. Dalam definisi modern, asam adalah suatu zat yang dapat memberi proton (ion H⁺) kepada zat lain (yang disebut basa), atau dapat menerima pasangan elektron bebas dari suatu basa. Asam umumnya berasa masam, tapi cairan asam pekat sangat berbahaya dapat merusak kulit dan hati-hati mata, jika terpercik asam pekat bisa berakibat kebutaan. Jika kena asam pekat harus langsung dicuci dengan air mengalir sampai benar-benar bersih.

Jangan pandai2 nak pakai perkataan asam kalau tak tau maksud.

Diri saya suka contemplate mengapa saya begitu begini tetapi kurang mengambil tindakan untuk berubah kerana saya ada semua masalah di atas kecuali hashtag no 6. Kadang2 (most of the times selalu) hidup menjadi kelam kabut, tak organise, kurang hebat dan tak nampak cool sebab masalah nak kekalkan momentum ni. Nak moving memang senang, semua orang boleh tapi isunya adalah macam mana nak moving the right direction. Directions that lead you to success and jadi hebat dan cool. I want that. 

Apa anda buat untuk memegang momentum? Supaya dok dendiam and at least takde la lari sampai 47 hari. Myself, these are what I did and will keep doing;

1. Banyakkan berdoa. Paling penting ni. 

2. Bagi hadiah best untuk diri selepas selesai sesuatu task. (reward dengan benda hok mu suke!)

3. Cari member atau lebih tepat lagi BFF yang mengerti dirimu dan akan mengkritikmu tanpa ragu dan hadlaju.

4. Paksa dirimu menyesal dengan tindakanmu. Setiap orang caranye berbeza. Be kreatif.

Bukan senang nak berjaya dan tak pernah senang nak lebih berjaya dan jadi cool and berilmu. Anyhoots, kekalkan motivasi, tingkatkan prestasi, jaga diri, jaga kesihatan, amalkan cara hidup sehat, rajin-rajinlah taubat. Babai!
