Plans for tomorrow, the next day and the next day and the next.

So many things to do, so little time. (But still can blog hahaha)
Since our car got busted 4 days ago, we have decided that the boys and I will take the bus while Ahmad rides the motorcycle back to Alor Setar. Why? Because we would need it to go back and forth between the hospital and my parents house. Plus, we would need at least 3 bags for all our stuff & lugging that much bags around from bus to bus is not fun. With his motorcycle, Ahmad can just take them all back to AS, no hassle at all.
 
Baba's car is out of commission too, it's such a vintage car (a Mitsubishi from 40 years ago) he said its insurance coverage is over the roof. So, no choice but to go ahead with our plan.

I'm a little apprehensive about taking the bus with these 2. At least I can hold on to Nazrin but Shahrin is a little too big to handle. He'd be running everywhere & that would not be good especially in a crowded place like a bus station.

So, tomorrow morning, after I've settled everything around the house, we'd be going on a journey, the boys and I. We have to go to 3 bus stations; take a bus from Bagan Serai to Parit Buntar to catch the bus to Penang's jetty, take the bus from Parit Buntar to the jetty and finally at the jetty, hop on the Alor Setar bound express bus. Finally, at Alor Setar's bus station, my father will pick us up on his motorcycle. Ahmad will just ride straight to Alor Setar and we'll him back at my parents house.

Then, on Tuesday, we have to take Shahrin to be admitted into the children's ward at the hospital. He'd have to wait till Wednesday for his operation. I've been preparing him for it since last year, so he wouldn't be too freaked out when we see the Doctor later. He knows that the operation is to correct his congenital condition, so I'm hoping that he'll be fine when the time comes for the actual operation.

We plan for me to stay with Shahrin at the hospital during the day and Ahmad will take over the night shift. Nazrin is still breastfeeding, so I have to be at home at night at least. Plus I have never left Nazrin with my parents before, so I don't know how he's going to react to that. Hopefully, he'll be fine too since Ahmad will stay with him through the day. He's been taking formula every now and then, so I think he'll be ok in that department.

Now I'm off to pack Shahrin's hospital-stay bag, my bag, Nazrin's and Ahmad's bags too. Not forgetting other items like toiletries, Shahrin's bottles (yes, he's still drinking his formula from a baby-bottle), toys to keep him occupied, Nazrin's toys and other small items.

Upss..I forgot. No car.
Now what am I supposed to do with all these stuff???

*sigh*

Pep-talk for myself.

I have been feeling sorry for myself these past few days.
Nothing I do seems to be working and it breaks my heart to know that I have failed, again.
I feel envious of friends who seems to be having success after success while I have to struggle hard.
I keep going back down memory lane.
Lame, I know..but the first 12 years of my life had been so brilliant, I have to wonder if what I'm experiencing now is pay back time for those years.

We'll be heading back to my parents house next Monday.
Shahrin's operation is scheduled to be on Wednesday. He needs to be admitted first on Tuesday, so we figured Monday would be a good day to head back to Alor Setar.
I'm a bit apprehensive about seeing my parents, though I haven't seen them since last year. GOD! It's been that long ago?!! Hahaha..

At least I have one good news for them, hopefully my new part-time job as Research Assistant will appease them for a while.
I hate being a burden to them but I have tried my best.




Maybe my best is not good enough? *sigh*

Reusing empty plastic container.

Morning folks!

The Earth Hour Campaign has come and go with little support from my family. *sigh*
The boys freaked out when I turned off all the lights, so we kept the TV & my lappy on so that the house wasn't in complete darkness. Candles were not an option with these 2, they would burn the house down if I so much as blink my eyes, hehe. (You know that I'm only exaggerating, right? )Even then, not 5 minutes into the campaign, my Ahmad turned the lights back on because HE couldn't stand being in the dark either.
*more sigh*

So, that was that. The lights came back on, the TV kept on blaring, lappy on, fans on, like the campaign was never in place at all. *huh* Maybe we'll do better next year.

Fortunately, the campaign wasn't just about turning off the lights for one hour, in one day, once a year. It is an on-going campaign all year round, to get the world community to rally together in our fight against the destruction of earth. Every little thing we do, counts in a big way.

As for me, what I have figured out for doing my part to help save earth is by applying the 3R; Reuse, Reduce, Recycle in my daily routine. This movement is not just about any specific organization or government body, it encompasses the whole human community, those who cares about the world we live in. You can go here and here too, for more info.

I figured that since I don't have financial resources to help with this movement, I could just apply the 3R this way: by reusing empty plastic containers for storage around the house.

These are Ahmad's 'man-stuff'; nails, screws, bits and pieces.

The bigger nuts and bolts are in this peanut butter container.

Big nails, small nails, you name it, they're in these plastic jars.

Stack-able, for easy storage :D

Then, there are also my own stuff, in the kitchen. I used more empty plastic containers as storage for my sugar, Nescafe 3-in-1 and Shahrin's formula.

Coffee (Nescafe) powder.

3-in-1

Shahrin's formula

It is both easy and money-saving to reuse what you already have at hand. Sure, they are not as pretty as porcelain containers or Mason jars but, I think as long as they are functional, they are good enough for me. Although I am seriously thinking of putting on a coat of white poster paint or other paints to make them look even better. If I do get to doing that, I'll be sure to post it here. 

Apart from these, I've already posted other crafts I made out of my trash. Check out my Crafting Amateur label for more info. :D

A sunburst mirror 'wannabe' project.

I love sunburst mirrors. Wish I could have/make one but with the money being tight these days, don't think I'd be getting/making one anytime soon, heh. I like this one very much:

If you want to see more sunburst mirrors, check the link, ok.

However, I did make something else entirely based on what I have at hand, in my stash of trash. I found a tutorial for making fabric flowers that was simple and easy to make. I followed the instruction from Creation Corner and here's a picture of her fabric flowers. Lovely, aren't they?

I used an old T-shirt for my flower and just did what she did, though my flower was quite big. Unfortunately, I didn't have any big buttons to glue onto the flower. Then, it hit me! Since I couldn't have/make a sunburst mirror, why not make something like it but different?

Sorry, I didn't have pictures for the process that took place but what I basically did was I covered the hole at the center with the inner paper found when you open up a new jar of peanut butter. Here in Malaysia, the Ladies Choice's peanut butter brand comes in a plastic jar and when you open the lid, this paper piece gives an added protection. So, I glued that onto the hole, glued my old contact-lense's cover at the back and glued a piece of magnet on that.
 

The front view.

Can you see my lense's cover? Creative use of trash, don't you think? :D

With the other magnet flower I made before.

Center attention. Here it is on my fridge.

Now I have 2-fer; a sunburst mirror 'wannabe' plus a fridge magnet. Nice, huh?

IF I WERE A BOY

 

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake,
think i'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong


But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy

lyrics curtsey of this page

I'm moving slowly past resentment and closer to hate.

I don't know what I'd do when & if I ever get there.

God forbids but........who knows?
