Good morning lovely ladies ;)

Wish you’re in great start for February 2010!

Also, if you’ve emailed me in the last week, especially about homeschool or web design slot and I haven’t gotten back to you yet, please sit tight. I do intend to respond to everyone soon in mid February 2010 as I’m still away for outstation duty with my beloved family.

Glad to present my new rig, gift from my dearest hubby *Alhamdulillah*. Aim is for daily use as primary system for VIP client meet-up & homeschool management task.

It’s HP Mini ;) Upgraded to 2GB RAM. And it’s metallic pink! *sugar!*
So tiny, just 10-inch and weight: 1 kg.


This is my “me-time” space in our couple room ^-^
You may spotted my vision board, homeschool’s project,
super comfy red chair, some of my favorite books,
& calendar from my best pal Miss Yus.
Thanks darling hubby for being such supportive to me. 100% made by the King.

First of all, my dearest hubby surprised me  last week. He told me that he felt enormous pity seeing me carrying my personal notebook: Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch in every meeting with VIP clients. He said it’s just too bulky for my size *lol*. That’s why now I only used it in our home workstation for designing purpose.

So, instead of carrying a heavy notebook computer around, I choose “netbook“. Other than that,  this new rig of mine is just what I needed.

Well, the Apple MacBook Pro was beginning to cost a lot to own. However, it’s worth it ;)

My work-lappy! Very sturdy >_<

Luckily, the King also generously upgraded our kids old personal computer to personal notebook, and now into their very own workstation!

Why? Because my big boy KiruaMi-cHan and my big girl ReiHi-cHan were truly passionate plus involved in graphic designing & photo editing.

Yes, we guide them (since 3 years old) to major in using both PC and Mac. We do start early due to toddler’s life is full of wonder, and spends a lot of time observing and imitating. They love to spend time with parents and enjoy helping out with simple household & work tasks.

Anyway, in the next couple of days I will auto-post more information on my kids new build workstation and possibly a few pictures as well *Insya-Allah*

Why netbook?
Netbook computers are generally the less powerful version of laptop computers.  Small, light, portable, durable, economical and energy-efficient. Netbooks are slimmer, they put off less heat, and they are convenient for the on-the-go person who wants to keep in touch with their network. It is ideal for internet surfing, email, word processing, research, and other not so heavy applications.

Tips: When buying a new PC or workstation, please consider what it will be used for, where it will be used, and long-term support when making a decision.  That way you’ll love what you buy and use it the way it was meant to be.

Now, I have no excuse for not doing good job in my routine ;)

And now, dear loyal friends, tell me about your private “me time” home-space.

All the best my ladies, may God blessed your family, be positive! :-D

My Heart and Soul

Good morning lovely ladies ;)

Wish you’re in superb health, Amin~ *hugs*

My dear, I hope you’ll be happy reading my speedy auto-publish post for the whole week, Insya-Allah I’ll be back next week and I got another 2 new big job waiting for me, oh yes, another future outstation job again. Thank you Lord *tears*

Today, I have special question to ask you >_<

Do you like or dislike cooking and why?

Cooking: I find it incredibly relaxing and a huge stress reliever to me!

I strongly believe what you make with all your heart and soul is made with L-O-V-E and should be shared with the ones you LOVE :-D

Having my very own family, to cook for was an awakening and each day I wanted to explore, create and taste. I haven’t stopped since *Alhamdulillah*.

One of the things I love about cooking is that it’s creative element, I love mixing flavors, colors and anything that go well together on a plate.

Homemade Korean Crab Stew *love it!*

<

Homemade Crispy Garlic Fishy >0<

Beef + Herbs Bologne with Buttered Macaroni ^_-
*homemade, of course!*

Homemade Sizzling Yum Mee :
Chicken Herbs + Mushrooms + Eggs + Abalone Sauces ;)

Chocolate Dream Ice Cream Dessert for my kids ^O^
Simply easy to make from home!

Icy Chocolate Coke Floats for my hubby ^-^ , my hubby’s favorite!

However there is something about cooking up a bowl of nutritious meals and baking fresh cookies which just can’t be beat.

Sometimes, it may take a little longer to get dinner on the table, but in the end it is totally worth it and your family will thank you for it, what a huge blessed!

Wouldn’t you love to create those kinds of memories for your own family?

What could be better than recipes which come straight out of our grandmother’s kitchen?  It’s “comfort food” to me.  I don’t know about you, but I love to reminisce about being in my grandmother’s kitchen. She is extremely kind to me, she’s so skillful, she doesn’t even need to look at what she’s doing. I bet she may do everything even with her eyes closed! *heee* It was a treat to watch her cooking any type of homemade meals ;)

My mom is a great cook, especially when it comes to Malay traditional cuisine & baking. Undeniable my mom in law who is also a very good cook in pastries & spicy meals. With no doubt, I truly adore my grandma, my mom and my mil talented cooking skills.

Cooking is an act of love. For me cooking with love, heart & soul can mean a couple of different things. I heart cooking with the purpose of spreading joy.

It can be preparing a meal for someone that means something special to you. Where you try to make the meal remarkable for that person.

Plus, it can also mean that you cook with specific ingredients that you really like. Where you try your hardest to make it work the best. Giving it your utmost attention in hopes that it will develop into the best thing it possibly can.

Oh boy, I love cookbooks. For last few years (since year 2004), I’ve got supreme stuck on Sir Jamie Oliver and Sir Rob Rainford, Sir Jamie’s just inspiring, I keep learning something new every time I read one of his books, Sir Rob’s precisely awesome!

I always positively think that food prepared with love has the ability to pass the love along. Therefor, I never try to cook when I don’t have 100% focus as my mission to add a dash of love for those I’m cooking for :-D

Happy and successful cooking doesn’t rely only on know-how; it comes from the heart, makes great demands on the palate and needs enthusiasm and a deep love of food to bring it to life ~Georges Blanc, Ma Cuisine des Saisons

So, start from today, whether you make homemade cooking for your hubby or kids, just let your brainy imagination run wild.

May God blessed your day sweet mommies, Happy Cooking! ;)
