My heart melt when my cactus flower in full bloom :D

If last year i was really happy when my cactus flower blooming (see my previous post - How sweet !), this year its even more. Its now in a full bloom and not only a flower or two but four at a time. I'm really happy nevertheless shocked because I've never been feeding any of my cactus with the fertilizer for the past one year. 

Look at My Blooming Princesses !

The only thing i changed is the placement, where before i put it nearby my workstation, but by around 4 months ago i moved them to the toilet beside a large non-tinted windows. I bought most of my cactus from Cameron Highland. The climate there for sure very cool and breezy. Sunny always rare there. That was the reason i don't really bother to shower my cacti with the sunshine. 

Hurm however not anymore now. I will continue placing them anywhere the sunlight reach and will still alternate bringing them nearby my workstation to reduce the radiation.

How I Prepare My Coffee?

I always prefer to drip my coffee. Why? 

Benefits : 

1) Coffee turns sweeter after dripping process. 

2) The aroma of the coffee sustain.

3) Drip pot is small in size and suitable for personal office use.

4) I feel like as if I'm in Vietnam haha

Coffee dripping activity....

Have You Ever Have a Dizzy Afternoon?

After lunch break, if I cannot put myself under control and eat like there is no more tomorrow I will come back to office with a very expected result. Usually I will feel very dizzy and sleepy.  

Previously a cup of dripped coffee is always my choice. However recently I kind of found another remedy accidentally. 

BOH Palas Afternoon tea. (Image from boh.com.my)

My previous visit to BOH shop made me almost crazy. BOH is a Malaysia local leading tea brand which continues come out with lots of new flavored tea and many in ranges. I found garden tea range and took the smallest tin to try on. 

I’ve never been trying this range earlier thus I feel fair enough to try the small one so called -“BOH Palas Afternoon tea”.  The tea leaves were not shredded into tiny pieces or powder, instead it’s still in a leave form.  

Soothing mug of tea...

This tea has a very light taste and it is really SOOTHING. For those who would like to decrease the intake of coffee, as an unpaid promoter,I highly recommend  this tea. It has been helping me cutting of the sleepy feeling and I felt very calm after each cup or MUG. 

Owh drinking it is such heavenly feeling. Current mood: calm & happy

360 Degrees

The door of living a real life has been opened to me by someone very special. She is a wonderful English teacher who has thought me so many things other than English subject. Somehow I don't even know how to thank her. However I will always pray for the best of her and hoping for our friendship remains forever. 

2012 has been packed with knowledge acquisition moment. There are too many things has been unleashed through courses, classes, seminars and talks that have been attended. And still lingers until now. 

♥ is all about sacrifices and after all the sacrifices now is the time for more and more sacrifices. This 2013 is my practical time of all the theories that have been clutched earlier. 

Sure there will be more challenges to be faced over, but it's all about Now or Never! I will always pray that this year is the total 360 degrees change from the worse to the best. I'm sure Allah has been talking all the time without fail even though I'm replying with a very slow phase of response. Everything is depending on me now. I really wish that I can do much much better for others and myself starting from this year. I would like to see tremendous changes. 

With this I challenge myself towards the best. 

Reminder for me: TIME is too precious and should be allocated only for the astute.

How sweet ;)

My cactus is blooming. See how sweet it is..

Delectable

I cant tell how much i love ice-cream or froyo or smoothies or anything in the family. They were just scrumptious. Cold creamy texture, melting in my mouth, huuuuuu just love it.. And weird, as for me anything will do, cheap or expensive price is just not an issue. They are all bringing the same satisfaction feeling, :D

Mini Cornetto - always smart for any occasion, i can finish them all haha..

Smoothies by Pizza Hut

Sundae by McD wz kellogs cornflakes topping are now in promotion ;)

Froyo topped wz strawberry sauce by Moo Cow

Baskin Robin

and i couldn't be bothered to remind any of the flavor as every single time im getting my dessert im always brave enough to simply taste any flavor. All the above are only those i've fortunately snapped as all the others have never gotta chance, they are way too scrumptious for me to delay. Okay feel like getting one now... Huhu..

Accompany

Me on my trip to Segamat last weekend, alone and boring.. So what i did before i went off was dig-out my sis book shelf and i found this:

The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. This book is really hilarious. I kept laughing on every single page flipped. Light reading to accompany my journey was pleasant. But only for halfway of the journey, because the other half had passed through very crooked rocky road. Felt like vomiting, so i've enjoyed the kampung (village) view instead, hurm plus few time rounds of sit straight with eye closed post extended with deep inhale and short exhale.. Phewwww.. At least i've arrived at Segamat in one peace huh..

My Cute Potted Indoor Plant

Gotta new plant. Last weekend i went to Kluang mall and unexpectedly i've came across with a small shop selling nice indoor potted plants.  Without any intention to buy any of the plant, i kept browsing the whole shop.. Huhu.. And finally i've accidentally found one for my self. The sales lady there told me that this plant can absorb radiation produced by the electrical appliance (as for us mostly - lappy la kan)  so it is advisable to put it near to our appliance.. Haha.. Is it true? Being me, yes i trusted that  and i simply feel that is why i need this plant (even though the feeling 'no matter what, i just wanna get one for myself' actually conquering me deep inside).. What ever it is, i'm not really making reason to buy the unnecessary ite? Come on, this plant can absorb radiation, that's really cool okay..

This is the plant i'm talking about :

Now do you agree with me, isn't it really cute? And further more its really easy to be taken care of. I just need to water it once a week. But not as normal plants, this type of plants have to be watered from the root not on the leaves. What i have to do is just to soak the pot into a bigger container which contain around 1 inch height of water for 5 minutes (trust me its not magic, its gona work coz there's a hole underneath the pot heheh) and tarraaaaa dats all the effort i have to put to take care of it.. Hurm i think its kinda best to position it somewhere in front of my calender, so that i always can take a glance on it most of the time..

One of the most interesting part is, the sales lady also told me that just in case my plant died i can bring the pot back to them and they will plant it again for me and its gonna cost me 50% of the price i've bought it.. Wow kinda a good news huh.. She had also shown me the picture of the plants after 2 years, sorry i forgot to snap it but just to give you all a rough idea, its gona look like a cactus a bit hihi..

My workstation vs 5S hehe

When a friend of mine brag about 5S implementation in her office, I became a lil bit excited to find out more bout it. This is actually my first time hearing that the Japanese created such methodology for workplace organization. Aren't they superb ???? Always huh. And it's has been introduced in Japan in early 1980's. Wow tremendous :)

Basically 5S describe how to organize a work space and the phases are as the follwing:
-Sorting (seiri )
-Straightening (seito)
-Sweeping or shining or cleanliness /systematic cleaning (seiso)
-Standardizing (seiketsu)
-Sustaining the discipline or self-discipline (shitsuke) 

Hurmmm 5S methodology vs my very own workstation? Owh izit gonna be horror. Ok I’ll try to do some assessment based on my own judgement :D

See how I adapted the 5S (seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, shitsuke) workplace organization :

1)    Sorting (seiri )  -  huhu only necessary items on my table..

 

2)    Straightening (seito), - yeah my fragrance oil collection always in a straight line...

3)    Sweeping or shining or cleanliness /systematic cleaning (seiso)  -  isn't tis shiny enuff :p 

4)    Standardizing (seiketsu), -  i have my pink version items on my table(urmmm standard color :D)

5)    Sustaining the discipline or self-discipline (shitsuke) - a hot drink tumbler to sustain my hot drinks to ensure i'm awake at all time and a memo clip for all the extra urgent to get done soonest possible :)



Hahahaha..Ok ok I know cant get 5/5 for the 5S.. :p

BIG Green Tea Drinker

Today I've decided to become a BIG GREEN TEA DRINKER. I project it as ‘BIG’ due to I'm being truly ambitious as I'm gonna consume green tea to replace my plain water almost all the time. Urmmm or it might be gonna last at least a month of experimental period as knowing me always a starter not the finisher huhu -owh tht part I’m still in the midst of improving it kayh. I'm actually being more and more enthusiast to become a big green tea drinker because I was surrounded by my ‘green tea drinker colleagues’ which drawing a big question marks in my head. Then I started to google up the benefits of green teas and found tht it contains EGCG which is useful for:

1.     Urmm first of all EGCG itself is powerful anti-oxidant.

2.     Inhibiting the growth of cancer cells- it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.

3.     Lowering LDL cholesterol levels.

4.     Inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots.

Wow, this might a few of it however enough amazed me.
This morning I woke up quite early and after sending my sis to work, I’m kinda have nothing much to do at home. After I filled up my patrol, I went straight away to supermarket to search for my green tea. Urmm maybe for the starting green tea pack from supermarket wud be good enough for a beginner like me :D
Look what I found. Sorry I cant pronounce the brand as it is in Japanese.

There is also an instruction behind which cant hundred percently beneficial for me as it is in kanji but the picture at least illustrate me something. Like from the step no 3 I know it was a leaf type not sachet. Hehehe.

I began to brew my tea. Yeah very amateur, I used my drinking bottle. Maybe later I’m gonna shop for a teapot no worries :p

After 2 minutes, all the tea leaves were sunken on the bottom of the bottle. Great it almost ready I think.  

As I wanna enjoy the authentic feeling of drinking the green tea I poured it into mom’s porcelain mug.

Hurmmmm. This green tea smell more refreshing compared to other brands of sachet type I’ve tried.  The taste is marvelous too. I might gonna stick to this brand hehehe.
p/s :- My green tea journey hasn’t ended yet. I’m going to try the powder type which my friend promised to get for me.
