It's 18th March btw. I just realise I only managed to blog 3 posts up to this date. Yeah ...been a through a lot lately.

First I was super duper busy with my new house, the one in Bandar Cassia,  Batu Kawan. Near to Ikea Penang. We work on out plan to make a homestay / guesthouse as we don't plan to rent it monthly basis to others. Well at least we can stil managed to monitor what is happening with our property. I've been through this whole cleaning process (sikit ja pun.. The major one upah Indo ladies to clean up for me).. All part of installation stuff like Ikea racks and all that which required me to assembled it by myself.


As much as I enjoyed doing the installation n assembling the stuff I also forgot that I have a lower back pain that comes and goes like heart lah. Fewww.




Ada satu hari masa tengah nak loading barang dekat trolley to bring to our new house. Tetiba prakkk....my pinggang bunyi. It was painful like hell. Terus tangkap ke kaki. Imagine I have to fetch kakak from her school and then feed my kids for lunch.   Sebab nak pergi rumah baru.  So I dont cook that day, having to handle two kids outside in a hot sunny day dengan memasing kadang-kadang menduga gila.


But as I managed to get to the new house at Batu Kawan.. And sit n baring for a while dekat sofa... Suddenly aku tak boleh bangun. Nak bangun berdiri pun rasa macam nak putus pinggang. Oh my it was terribly hurt me. Kena menggagau and berpaut dekat kerusi putih but suddenly nak fell down sebab kerusi tu tak balance. Nasib baik cepat berpaut dekat grill tingkap. I don't know if jatuh... Surely tak boleh bangun terus😭

Nasib si kakak dah paham bahasa and bila aku sakit ka apa.  Dia yang banyak tolong mak dia ni. Tapi kadang-kadang kesian bila mama dia sakit.. Dia selalu jadi mangsa kena marah. Sory kakak😭😭😭

I'd been suffering from this lower back pain start dari accident jatuh moto masa 2007. Then 2x epidurals masa cser both of my kids sikit sebanyak lead to another terrible lower back pain. Yoko-yoko and Mustajab krim panas tu memang my best friend la kan. Kadang-kadang sampai dah takda rasa panas tu sebab dah selalu apply kat pinggang tu.

Bila baca simptom-simptom slip disc. Ada banyak hint menjurus ke arah slip disc. For this time being memang aku tak pernah refer orthopaedic untuk my lower back pain ni. Kalau aku pi check.. Kompem2 Adriana kena ponteng sekolah. Tengok lah cuti ni ka aku pi check dekat Ortho.

But for this time being aku nak try jugak Chiropractic Treatment. Anyone yang pernah try Chiropractic treatment? Can u share with me how it was done?  Does it hurt? Does is make u feel well after doing it?

Well that what was happens to me recently.  I was quite busy and suddenly I had this lower back pain attacks on me. This year, this is the second one. Surely bila kena tak boleh bangun punya and I will surely cry sebab terlalu sakit.

I 'm actually too scared to see the orthopaedic. Takut kalau diagnosed with slip disc. Tapi at the same time...tak boleh tahan anymore. A mother like me nak bedrest lama-lama pun kenot. I have no maid. So I was depending on my husband ti help me with the kids and the house chores. But yes.. Pitty him also lah kan. Kerja lagi..  Haihhh...

My husband ada ajak aku pi Chiropractic treatment ni. Sebab dia sendiri pun sejak-sejak accident jatuh motor last year pun sakit jugak pinggang. He also risau somemore tengok bini dia sampai tak leh bangun kadang-kadang tu. Solat? Aku solat duduk wei. Memang tak boleh bangun berdiri immediately cepat2 tau. Nak rukuk n bend down my body pun cannot sometimes. Sebab tu solat duduk ja.



Haihhhhh. 
Bukan mengeluh..  Cuma nak mencurah rasa di hati dekat blog ni. Aku baru Allah uji dengan sakit sikit macam ni ja. Tapi rasa seksa tu Allah ja lah yang tau. Aku harap dengan kesakitan-kesakitan yang Allah bagi aku ni asbab untuk Allah hapuskan semua dosa-dosa aku.

Quick update. Sebab bila aku update resipi ni dekat ig ada yang tanya macam mana buat kan. So meh sini kita nak update cepat2 ya.

Pffftttt... Cepatnya dah bulan 3 kan. Walaweh. But for this year my husband and I are not yet decided where we are heading to.

Kalau last year trip kami ke Perth pada bulan 5, hujung bulan 8 ke Koh Lanta, hujung tahun ke Koh Lipe and Singapore. This year, untuk yearly trip yang kena beli tiket flight not yet decided.

This year pulak Adriana da start pre school dekat government school so it means we have to travel during school break la kan which means will break our leg as we need to dig in more money for flight tickets. Sighhh... So korang anak-anak yang belum start sekolah tu silakan la berjalan sampai lebam ya. Anak da sekolah nanti susah kena berjalan time cuti sekolah ja. Eh tali aku selalu ja nampak ada orang yang bawak anak-anak travel time tak cuti? Boleh ehhhhh?


This year antara yang mungkin dalam list untuk travel adalah:


1. Tawau, Semporna and Mabul Island.

Since my sister kena posting dekat sana. So why not right? Jeles tengok gambaq adik aku dekat Semporna and Mabul hari tu😑😑😑




2. Legoland JB.

hey walapun dekat JB ja tapi bercinta lah nak drive dari Penang ni. Jauh nauuuu. Naik flight je boleh kan? Ni sebab ada budak berzikir nak pi Legoland California. Apa dia ingat bapak dia tokey balak ka sampai ke California ko nak pi Legoland. JB sudehhhhh ya.



3. Shanghai.

Out of no where Shanghai is in the list sebab terpengaruh tengok ig kak Shilashower. Nak-nak pulak ada yang berzikir-zikir nak pi Disneyland. Tak payah nak Disneyland Paris ka California ka. Shanghai sudehhhhh. Yes I was sceptical at first ya lah konon orang cakap China ni macam euww skit kan. Tapi bila kak Shilashower cakap bersih ja Disneyland Shanghai aku rasa macam ok la kot. Why not kan? Lagipun Disneyland Shanghai adalah Disneyland termurah and second terbesar and mempunyai latest games mcm Thrones rides tu. Lagipun Shanghai tu sendiri pada aku macam menarik ja. Lagi-lagi bangunan The Bund semua tu. Ahh very futuristic and so futurama. Kahkah!




4. South Korea, Jeju Island perhaps?

Kalau South Korea ni aku rasa kalau Seoul tu belum lagi la aku nak tertarik nak pi. Tapi kalau sebut Jeju Island sumpah aku nak pi sangat. Sebab masa tengok cita-cita korea macam Lovely Samsoon (hyun bin aku berlakon.. Kahkah) dengan My Girl (junki aku berlakon.. Kah!!!) tu memang aku rasaaaaa woiii lawanya Jeju ni. Nak piiiii......😍😍😍



5. Melbourne

Obviously not this year la kan. Aku teringin nak rasa 4 seasons in one day bak kata org Aussie kat Melbourne. U boleh rasa winter, autumn and bloody hot summer in one day. Menarik kan. And obviously la sebab aku suka sangat Aussie ni.. Ok serious talk jatuh cinta first step landing dekat Perth in 2016 tu. The Great Ocean Road is a MUST when u travel to Melbourne kot kan.



6. New Zealand.

Yeah ni pun salah satu wishlist but obviously not this year jugak la kan. Bagi pencinta nature macam aku... This is the MOST WANTED country I want to visit. Tapi laki aku cakap tunggu anak-anak besar skit. Dah anak besar skit, nak beranak baru pulak. Dah bilanya nak pi kannnnn.... Arghhhh stresss...


Tapi tu lahhh. Tak tau nak survey kat mana tiket, hotel, pakej and tempat-tempat yang menarik selalu orang pi kan. Walaupun orang cakap dekat Matta Fair selalunya murah gila.

Percaya atau tak aku sebenarnya tak pernah pun pi ke Matta Fair. Selalu la juga kakak aku dapat deals yang bagus-bagus dekat Matta Fair promo tu kan. Tapi tu la bein me, nak pi ke fair macam ni nak kena bersesak-sesak dengan anak-anak ni memang BIG NO la kan.

Tak sanggup aku nak hadap anak-anak aku buat kuat lentang ka dalam. Jenuh kot. Sorang-sorang nanti buat berebut stroller la. Adoi. Stress mak nak. Baik duduk kat rumah diam-diam tak pun pi mall lepak-lepak kat cafe sudah.

TAPIIIIII KANNNNN...
Bila aku dengar Traveloka ada buat Saleabration dia sendiri aku jadi jakun la sat kan. Ehhhh senang la dah ada online menda-menda macam ni kan. Tak gaduh la aku nak pi bersesak-sesak dekat Spice Arena Penang tu. Tak koserrr la makjem kan.

• Dah ada semua kat hujung jari lagi senang la lepas ni nak buat pilihan kan. Dah la tawaran-tawaran dekat Traveloka Saleabration ni pun boleh tahan hebat. Selain murah, Traveloka bukan saja tawarkan penginapan hotel pada harga yang murah tapi ada juga provide kan kita dengan cheap flight. Ehhh gila tak suka macam ni kan. Harus lah terlajak suka mac ni kan.

Senang bila guna Traveloka ni kau dah tak payah susah-susah nak bersesak-sesak dekat Matta Fair tu. Dengan nak bersesak-sesak dengan nak pikir cari parking lagi. Ehhh so serabut. Dengan Traveloka Saleabration ni hassle free gitu.


Nak cari hotel, nak cari flight ticket murah, nak cari attractiin dekat kawasan yang hang nak pi melancong pun semua boleh cari dekat Traveloka ni. Dah save masa da dekat situ. Mak-mak macam aku yang on the go ni macam ni lah ya. Tak kuasa dah nak hadap menda-menda leceh ni. Semua nak senang ja kejanya.

Anyone suka make up tapi kalau make up hari biasa taknak nampak over nauuuu? Yes i love make up on daily basis but afraid look like a clown for d sake of goin out to fetch my daughter from her school. Hahhahaha

Nak tau apa produk yang aku pakai untuk achieve this effortless make up look?

Taraaaaaaa




I'm using these products from Althea... Yes only using their products in this picture to create the look. Serius? No foundation meh? Nopeeee.....


Let me share you the step i'm using after getting my skin moisturize with my daily moisturiser, i put on Althea Skin Relief Gel to some of my acne spot.



This gel is transparent and easily absorb to my skin.

After applying to the problem area, i put on concealers to my face according to colors and area. Under eyes using the brightest shade in Vanilla and cheek area using the 3rd darker shades in Honey. Using beauty blender, I dabbed on the concealer until it cover full of my supermoon face. 




This Althea Creamy Concealers are the bomb! They work like magic to cover my flaws😍

Here comes the best part of all, the eyes part. As I mentioned earlier, to achieve this sweet daily look all you have to do is be moderate. For this I only apply two different shades of eye shadows to my eyelids.




The fourth step , after finished on coloring my eyes with the Althea X BCL, it's the time for me to put on something on my cheeks. It's kinda confusing which colors to use as I have 4 differents colors of Althea Watercolor Cream Tint.



This Althea Watercolor Cream Tint comes in four colors that easily to blend into the skin once we applied it to the skin. Just dot2 to your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Easy rite?


Next is my lips, to be honest I'm not into bold color like RED-ish for my lips. I look like a step mother whenever I try to rock all this BOLD colors. Pfftttt. So what I do to tone down the color from Althea Watercolor Cream Tint is by applying  a layer of conceal first at my lips. And after that I applied the tint to my lips and start blending the color so it will look pinkish and sweet.


Last but not least.


The Althea Spotlight Eye Glitter. Yeah I know it supposed to be used at the eyes. But hello who cares if you want to use it somewhere else. Afterall, I'm doing a sweet daily make up. Who would  applying eyes glitter for daily make up 😝. To create the sweet and dolly looks I put the glitter at my cheeks bone, my nose brigde, my forehead and my lips cupid bow. And I love the outcomes of applying the glitter to my face.
