[termenung]

Watikah hari ini adalah...



Entah mengapa selama beberapa bulan ni, apa yang aku buat tak fall through.  Not saying that nothing completed.  It is more of like, you know you did this and that and searched for this and that but at the end of the day, you feel like you have achieved nothing sebab tak dapat jawapan.  It feels more begitu from Monday this week.

Mengapa ya?  Mungkin rezeki telah ditetapkan begitu.  Stagnant.  Perhaps God wants me to learn by finding ways to go around it.

Hmm.  At least that's a thought.

Friendships and BFFs

Watikah hari ini adalah...

Today is going pretty much alright.  But all I know is that I'm so mengantuk.  Ngantuk sesangat.  Macam nak bersungut gak.  Bersungut sesungut macam Abang Ngah.  Budak tu, bunyiknya, dari tingkat atas hingga ke dapur boleh dengar.  Tapi Mak tak lah sehebat tu.  Mak, biasa-biasa je... 

After so long, there are a few things that I get to discover. 

One was about the value of friendship.  It's the value of trust and understanding.

Two, was the value of friendship on the aspect of sincerity.

Well, so maybe it's just all about friendship lah.  Haha.

Friends are hard to come by.  I'm talking about BFFs.  For me, at least.  Dah bermacam-macam teori diketengahkan.  Dan bila dah tetua bangka ni baru la settled in a bit with the theories.  Some tell me I'm self-absorbed.  Well then again, maybe I am.  Connecting the dots is like, being lost in a hiking trail for me.  So of course I take more time and need to talk it out to understand WTH it is I'm trying to get at!

Okeh.  Sorry.  Tertinggi sora jap.

But to find real people who can actually take me as I am at this age...  I'm just thankful we crossed paths.

My quirkiness that they say, they find it amusing.  They don't hamper me down with being weird.  I just realized that I can be funny.  When I get depressed, they allow me space for me to understand it and gives me a push of direction while listening to me rant about it.  And how I appreciate it cause I know I can drone til your ears bleed! 

Then I discovered something that could've been rectified 10 years ago.  But then again, what's the point of telling it now.  And I take it as God's saying it's not meant to be and it wouldn't be something good for me to continue with.  So... done lah. 

For my BFFs, I just want to know, I love you guys. 









Alhamdulillah. We meet again all in time.

Thank you Allah.

Anugerah Cinta

Watikah hari ini adalah...

I just love this.  It's nice.


The Real Value of RM2.99

Watikah hari ini adalah...

I went to the shops itu hari.  Then I came back with getah rambut and just kept staring at it. 

These sellers are smart.  How long ago was it yang duit Ringgit Malaysia DIBUNDARKAN kepada jumlah terdekat to abolish the use of 1 sen?  Just the same, kita at the consumers' end pulak tak perasan and main sauk je benda yang tertera harga thinking that RM2.99 IS the value of RM2.99 when it is SEBENARNYA berharga RM3.00.




Truthfully, I am not one to go through special price slash advertisements in papers.  Okaylah.  Aku pun sendiri kurang baca paper so we can put that fact aside.  But when I do, I just breeze through and flip right past that supermarket price slash ad.  And I'm sure the prices yang tertera tu musti ada yang bagi harga sen-sen yang tidak dibundarkan.  Yang kita ni pun...  "Wow, harga sekian hari RM0.38 sen je!"

So seriously, adakah kita sebenarnya agak tertipu dengan perwatakan harga yang diberi oleh penjual?  Ya, saya rasa begitu.  Then as consumers, maybe we can make noise that they should change the system sebab ni barang yang kita beli, like me with the getah rambut, bukannya beli kira kilo.  Sama dengan ubat cuci baju, ubat gigi, minyak masak and macam-macam lagi.  Semuanya dah pre-packed what...  Kita bukan beli nak kena timbang benda-benda macam tu.  Bundarkan je lah the value to exact figure.

I understand that they will pile everything at the RM0.99 price then total them up and then baru bundarkan the price.  Tapi, tak terasa ke macam sama, somehow? 

Dalam memusabahahkan diri, I took out a shopping receipt dated 13 April 2011.  Dibuatnya pulak total dia ngam-ngam mati kat 5sen.  Hmm.  So I kenot make real comparison.  But if you look at the bill itself balik, tak ke terasa macam sakit hati: 

I bought 34 barang and 31 out of 34 barang tu, semua harga hujung dia 9sen; walau pun harga dia mati kat 5sen as a total dan tak memakan lebih 1sen dari apa yang aku beli itu...?? 



Bear in mind, RM50 nowadays do not hold the same purchasing value as it was 5 years ago.  And maybe the right word is that, in the end, I felt cheated for the perbezaan published price on paper 1sen tu. 

Dan maka, begitulah ia.

Reflexology: Beijing Natural Healthcare

Watikah hari ini adalah...

My brother-in-law had his wedding reception over the weekend.  But a lot of preparation took place getting there.  I think I contributed the masa paling kurang for the wedding.  I haven't been well plus the children was sick through the week juga.

Anyway, kaki aku have been in pain.  My sister gave me a number to call for reflexology.  Tukang urut pompuan datangnya, dari Beijing; and this woman put me in more pain to getting me better.  Seriously, I though she was slicing my foot with a knife.  However, she worked her way from the middle of my foot to my toes, up to the knee; downwards and upwards again sampai tiga kali for each leg.  Itu memang la make sure angin dah takde.  And tolong jangan tanya berapa banyak kali aku sendawa.  Perut aku siap boleh bunyik berkocak-kocak okeh...  Untuk orang yang tak biasa, for sure ingat aku ni mesin gas isi belon. Ya, ia adalah sedikit menakutkan.



The Feet Chart

I think I should share this info with you.  Walau pun aku masih berada dalam kesakitan akibat dikerjakan oleh wanita Beijing itu, I know I feel much better inside.  Takde lah sengal 33 macam seperti biasa.

This is the price breakdown:

Reflexology
1 jam = RM50.00
Free 1 jam bagi setiap 10 kali datang

Body Massage
1 jam = RM68.00
Free 1 jam bagi setiap 10 kali datang

Promo Package:
RM99.00 = Reflexology + Body Massage [1jam + 1jam]
Promo is valid until 31 December 2011

Beijing Natural Healthcare
77, Jalan Snuker S13/28,
40100 Shah Alam
Selangor Darul Ehsan
Telephone: +60355119617

Note:  Please call for appointment before you go.  


My husband and I went for the RM99.00 package.  We had to rotate mandangkan Cik Adik was with us so I did the kaki first and my husband started off with badan.

Perasaannya sangat bercampur aduk.  Jenis yang dia dah touch my feet... And I wanted to scream... But I couldn't because my nanti anak aku bangun tido [Ye, Cik Adik was stuck with me] and I oso couldn't lari out of the kedai bikos kaki aku sakit, dan aku tidak berjaya menidurkan diri sendiri kerana kesakitannya itu membuatku terjaga, maka fahamilah diriku ini. 

Then, she urut my body. 

She was holding down the points of my pain.  And then she used her elbows.  Gosh.

Gila beb.

Terkesima.

Gila punya terkesima.  Sampai mentara dia terlentangkan aku, aku terus tido.  Tertido ke, terpensan ke sebenarnya...  {pause}  Aku rasa aku terpensan sebenarnya.  {pause} Ye.  Mungkin... {langut} ...But then again, aku pun tatau.  But I understood the way she did it.  Dia buat supaya aku sihat.  Ni bukan urut sesukati.  She was trying to repair me.  And she did well.  Sebab badan aku tak terasa boyak macam hari-hari walau sengal dan bengkak sikit badan sebab dikerjakannya.

Even the reflexology was good.  Because it was worth the RM50 if I had opted for the reflexology tu sesaja.  Dia urut dari bawah ke atas, 3 kali rotation and betul-betul dia betulkan balik urat tu.  Kalau yang biasa-biasa je, tidak secara keseluruhan macam biasa.

Go try, but don't forget to set the appointment before you go ya!
