Ramadhan...new resolutions


  • dis few weeks was hell for me at work...i got a lot of issues dat required my full attention....huuwwwaaaaaarrrggghhhhh!&*$%^&*??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • cooking : i plan to cook atleast one dish a day....everytime when we're breaking fast at home....to motivate myself, i plan (in excel sumore!!) the list of dishes...much2 easier than cracking ur head everyday thinking wat am i going to cook...wat is hubby going to eat...wat is lil girl going to eat....wat is delicious....i dun want it to be the same as yesterday...thus, another headache besides than the stomachache...

  • iftar : taking the fasting month rather +vely dis yr.....another method to lose weight hihi....so my resolution is to cut down rice intake n esp food-dat-looks-yummy-at-pasar-ramadhan-when-ur-hungry-at-6pm-after-a-hard-day-at-work....all the waste down the drain...pocket money also drain....

  • tarawikh : 4 days has gone by....n i've managed to do it...2 times!!....by myself!!...at home!!...dats sure an accomplishment right....u know how hard it is to do it by urself at home vs going to the mosque following the imam...altho only 8 rakaat, surah lazim (so its quite short =P)...dats surely beats last yr record of only once.....kudos to lil cutie pie for sleeping early....hope to maintain the consistency....

  • sahur : one thing i can be proud of myself is i always wakes up early in the morning to prepare for sahur (sum people eats before going to sleep at 1-2am)....dis is our 3rd yr of fasting together....alhamdulillah, i still manage to fulfill my responsibility...warming up yesterday's iftar dish...frying nuggets/eggs...boiling telur masin...sumtimes even cooking the rice at 5am (still sempat tu b4 subuh !!).....

  • raya prep : recycle from sis's wedding...additional tshirts (hubby), accessory n tudung (me), gowns n socks n blouse n skirt n mayb pants (lil girl)....see who has the most new things here?? dis chapter, yet to be closed....

3D video causes extra eye strain and fatigue says Samsung study

taken from here :

http://www.soyacincau.com/2011/07/25/3d-video-causes-extra-eye-strain-and-fatigue-says-samsung-study/


Here’s another reason why 3D is pointless. A study funded in part by Samsung’s R&D division conducted by the University of California-Berkley revealed that 3D displays cause extra eye fatigue. The study, published in the Journal of Vision last week found that when test subjects watched 3D content, they reported more eye strain and fatigue and less vision clarity afterward than when they watched 2D content.

This additional eye strain is caused by the disparity between the depth of the screen and the depth of the 3D image, though researchers also found that the relationship between image depth and nearness of the screen is also a factor in causing eye strain.

Essentially what this means is that while a cinematic 3D experience in a movie theater can be relatively comfortable, watching 3D movies at home is likely to cause stress to your eyeballs due to the much shorter distance available between the viewer and the display. Though this is not to say that watching a 3D movie in a cinema is not strenuous either.

Where at home and with 3D mobile devices like a 3D smarthphone (like the LG Optimus 3D) or a 3D portable gaming console (like the Nintendo 3DS), a 3D content viewed over a short distance is more visually uncomfortable when the 3D image is placed in front of the screen. In a movie theaters where the distance between the screen and viewer is greater, it’s the opposite: 3D content that appear deeper within the screen or behind the screen causes more discomfort than images that jump out at you.

Hit up the source link for the full report if you want to read it. So, what are your thoughts about 3D?

**************************

say no to 3D maybe until 10-20 yrs later?? interesting....=D

Top 5 Tips to Build Wealth and Success

taken from Yahoo Finance...

Warren Buffett is worth $45 billion. That wealth isn't only a factor of savvy investing and good business — the "Oracle of Omaha" is also known as a penny pincher. Buffett still lives in the same Omaha, Neb., home he bought in 1958 for $31,500.

Follow his frugal formula, and you too may wind up with a lot more money than you ever dreamed.

This week Financially Fit covers five tips to build wealth and success.

1. Live Below Your Means.
Being wealthy isn't just a product of your salary or investment prowess; it's learning how to save.

"We can make a lot of money, you can make a little bit of money, but the second you spend all the money is when people get into trouble. Saving is the key to preserving your wealth," says Ed Butowsky, managing partner of Chapwood Capital Investment Management, a firm that manages money for wealthy individuals.

As many Americans realized during the booming real estate market, just because you think you can afford something doesn't mean you should buy it. Keeping an eye on your bottom line will pay dividends over the long term.

2. Bounce Back From Defeat
With nearly 15 million workers unemployed right now in the U.S., it's easy to get discouraged. Don't! Most successful and wealthy people have overcome obstacles and failure along the way. Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple when he was 30. Today, he's a billionaire and a legend. Plus, after getting fired, he created another billion-dollar media company, Pixar.

"Bouncing back from defeat is something all great achievers have. They have this undying belief good things will happen and will continue to happen," says Butowsky.

Take Michael Jordan. "His airness" was cut from his high school basketball team. Motivated by the rejection, Jordan became a star the next season. The rest is history.

3. Self-Promote
Regardless of the profession, the rich and successful tend to have a strong sense of self-worth — key to skillfully navigating an upward career path. Mark Hurd, who was ousted as CEO of Hewlett-Packard in August, couldn't be kept down for long. Using his business skills and connections, in September, Hurd was named president of Oracle. (Hurd and Oracle founder Larry Ellison are known to be close friends.)

4. Have Street Smarts
Bernie Madoff lived the high life for decades, scamming unsuspecting clients, with a money-making formula that proved too good to be true. Only afterward did we learn that with a little due diligence, most clients could have easily uncovered the fraud.

But it's not only the swindlers and the con men you have to watch out for. Many times, friends and family take advantage of the rich. Whether it's a handout or an investment idea, Butowsky advises his high net worth clients that in most cases, it's wisest to just say "no." The best way to do that: have someone else do it for you.

"You need to really set up a wall between you and your family," he advises. "If you don't want to give them (family or friends) money ... saying no is probably a good idea."

*need to becareful guys!!*

5. Buy Cheap
The rich can afford to splurge, but that doesn't mean they do.

John Paulson, a billionaire hedge fund manager, bought his Hamptons "dream house at a bargain basement price," according to Greg Zuckerman, author of the Paulson-based book, "The Greatest Trade Ever." The story has it that Paulson eyed the home while it was in foreclosure. Finally, on a rain-soaked day, he purchased the home on the Southampton town hall steps. He was the only bidder.

On New York City's Upper East Side, Michael's— The Consignment Shop for Women— has been a bargain-hunting destination for more than 60 years. "We have a good percentage of women who can afford to shop on Madison Avenue but really like the idea of saving that money," says proprietor Tammy Gates.

From Chanel to Gucci and Louis Vuitton, the store specializes in high-end designer merchandise for a reasonable price. Speaking of her clientele, Gates says, "they're wealthy for a reason. They recognize that bargains keep people wealthy. Paying top dollar when you don't have to doesn't make sense."

Feeling like a teenager....

Beloved hubby downloaded a Korean series for me....Marry me Mary/Mary stayed out all night.... i didnt asked him to...juz dat i prepared a list of the korean series dat i would like to watch in my leisure time....n put in on his desktop.....a good way of hinting i suppose =P...tenkiu very much my honey bunnie.....

http://asianmediawiki.com/Marry_Me,_Mary!

Dis drama is exactly wat i would be daydreaming of ten years ago when i was a teenager....revolving a secret,forced marriage, but to a handsome lad...initially he's a jerk...but as u go on, he's not bad after all....so at first u hate him, then later on u'll fall in love with him....the thrill is of coz at the secrecy part where u need to becareful dat no one knows ur married, esp to dis guy...for watever reason there is....hihihi, guess i watched too much drama or read too many malay romance novels =P....

Anyhow, dis drama has a similar storyline.....but the extra bonus is the male lead is soooooooooo kawaiiiii....yeah, too much like a lady....i can imagine hubby shaking his head in disbelief....too jambuu for him =P...but its a drama, u need to feast ur eyes right....n the supporting male lead is good looking as well...hence, for the first time ever, i hv the problem of choosing who do i support...Who would u choose?

Mu-Gyul (Jang Geun-Suk) is the lead vocalist and guitarist for a rock band. He is chic and lives a carefree bohemian lifestyle. He doesn't talk much and only wants to make music. Mu-Gyul doesn't care about success. He also suffers trauma with his mother and, because of this, becomes tired of the women he dates and leaves them. Mu-Gyul is a bad guy to women. When it appears Mu-Gyul will never get married a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes about. He meets Mary, money becomes involved and a 100 days of marriage ensues. During this time, Mu-Gyul not knowing the meaning of family, surprisingly falls in love with Mary who is combative, loyal, and spunky. Mu-Gyul finds himself becoming a rival of Jung-In for Mary's love.

Jung-In (Kim Jae-Wook) is the president of music company JI Entertainment producing a music drama. Jung-In was born into a wealthy family and has never lacked money. Jung-In is also good looking and has good manners. Because of this, Jung-In appears to be highly eligible bachelor for marriage. But, Jung-In also has a cold side - he doesn't like becoming too close to people. His weakest point is that he can never say no to his father. He enters into a 100 day fake marriage with Mary and soon falls in love with Mary. Jung-In also comes across Mu-Gyul who will help fulfill Jung-In's dream in the music world. Mu-Gyul will also become a rival for Jung-In over Marry.

I want both of them....huwaaaaarrrgghhhh........

P/s : dis is my way of letting some steam off...after a hard day at work n having to keep up wit lil girl....juz like the university days....syiok, syiok!!

update :


last week i was in alot of pain...i got blisters on my B....not sure whether its from lil girl's gum infection or not...yeah, lil cutie got gum infection dat make her lose 1kg....she was in much discomfort dat she refused to eat....no milk, no food thru her throat....making the parents in such a stressful week...

so i was crying when i had to bf her....took me a few days to realize dat the blisters dat are hurting me....went to see the doctor, luckily i got the same blisters on my hand (dats y im not sure whether the blisters are connected to the gum infection or not), so i can show it to him....he gave me antibiotics and a cream to be applied on the affected areas...


i had to stop breastfeeding rightaway...the dilemma was to stop for good or temporarily...if i were to wean last week, i knew lil girl wont be ready....I WONT be ready myself....dat adds on to my heartache.....

all dis while i had planned to stop bf when she turns 2 years old...ive been complaining to not being able to sleep comfortably...always worrying whether she'll bite my B....she'll bf for a very long time, stuck to my B, making me tired....all dis negative thoughts, negative feelings...backfired me when i had to stop immediately.....she was crying n throwing tanthrum...n i couldnt bear to listen to her...couldnt bear the thought dat i can no longer comfort her, stopped her from crying wit bf...i actually loved her being attached to me like dat...i kept telling her dat ibu is in pain....do u think an 18months baby will understand dat?

she's bfing not for milk...merely for comfort purpose.....a habit to go to sleep especially at night....now, how do u change a habit for a baby? its very difficult right....well, we manage to go thru the first night....i was singing twinkle2 lilttle star n zikir in a very husky voice (kihkihkih...to hubby it would still sound like minnie mouse =P).....need to 'dukung' her (her head on my shoulder) and walk around in the bedroom...

the routine goes on for 2 days b4 both my B was full...dis time i was in another kind of pain (sebelum ni luka, skang ni tambah satu lg, bengkak la plak)...so i had no choice but to let her bf even tho it was too traumatic for me...

now, a week had passed by...i no longer pump at work...ive long decided to stop pumping when she reached 1 1/2 y.o....my blisters are getting less but wont disappear completely yet....i bf only at night going to sleep...she would wake up once or twice for milk...even after bf, shes still grumpy so i had to wake hubby up to make her milk...i'll prepare hot water, cold water, FM and bottle upstairs every night......a routine dat needed to start only recently...sorry sayang, ur sleep will be disturbed every now n then....

i will now research on how to wean babies from bf, a topic i didnt care about until last week....my plan is to stop bf lil girl when she reaches 2 y.o...lets hope half a year from now, i will be less tramautized....

'Ya Allah, please give me the strength dat i need...aminnn....'
