PETS ADOPTION

Anyone nak adopt one of Homeless & Orphan Cats????

Kalau sesiapa yang duduk kat Selangor or KL, depa bole pergi ke SPCA Selangor somewhere in Ampang. Tapi how about orang Johor? So, during 4th International CFA Cat Show yang we all pergi, aku baru tau ade non-profit organisation yang actively involve in taking care and providing welfare to those homeless and orphan cats and dogs in Johor. Ingatkan kat Selangor jer ada... sebab SPCA memang active and famous.... Kalau Selangor ade SPCA, Johor pula ade HOPE which singkatan kepada Homeless & Orphan Pets Exist.

Both SPCA and HOPE allow public to adopt their cats and/or dogs at minimal cost. So, duit yang depa dapat tuh depa buat beli makanan other cats and dogs yang depa bela....

Bukan setakat nak adopt those pets, depa juga ade buat jualan, pungutan derma, mencari volunteer dan lain-lain bagi men'support' kehidupan those cats and dogs yang mereka bela....



To know in details about those non-profit organisation, kindly visit:

WINNER OF 4th INTERNATIONAL CFA CAT SHOW @ IOI MALL

Masa we all gie cat show tu, we all get chances to vote our favourite cat.... Aku memang tak brapa gemar kucing2 parsi or any kucing yang bulu menggerebang.... aku suke shorthaired cat and yang agak liar... seperti Bengal Cat, Siamese Cat, Egyptian Mau.... and Local Cat kite pun cantik2 ape.... (nak tau jenis-jenis kucing, sila klick: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cat_breeds )

On that day, we all vote for SIMBA.

Simba

Menurut owner Simba, Simba is mix breed - Bengal + Egyptian. Simba nie agak active and manja...

So, we all balik without knowing sapa yang memang for that competition. Tapi........ Semalam aku terbaca surat khabar online, and dapat tau Simba dapat tempat yang ke-3. Congrats to Simba and his owner!!! :)

WEEKEND PROJECT

Sejak-sejak aku behenti keje from external auditor firm nie... and join GLC nie, aku ade la masa belajar2 'baking'.... Seronok....!!!! Department aku la nie ramai perempuan (department pun tak ramai orang, dalam 14 orang jer..).... mostly dah kawen and nak berkahwin.... Tapi we all mude2, so aku memang bole masuk dengan depa nie.... tangkap layan punye..... Depa nie rajin la jugak join2 kelas memasak nie..... Depa pun rajin kongsi2 resepi.... huahahahahahah...... Tahun lepas, sempat la aku join kelas baking tarts - cheese & egg tarts dengan depa. Cuma tak dapat join kelas deco cupcake, sebab aku ade minggu orientasi (maklum la budak baru...)... Since dah masuk kelas, kena la buat practical kan.... aku fikir2 aku nak buat project every 2 week on the weekend days.... Ok let's start...... Last weekend merupakan weekend yang ke-3 aku laksanakan project ini... Aku baking EGG TART...... ini semua disebabkan Hubby aku suka nak makan egg tart.... aku tak makan pun sangat..... Lihat hasilnya.....

Weekend Project 1/2011 - Icing Cupcake

Eating Habits

Lately, aku perasan Eating Habits aku yang buruk semakin menjadik2.....

Aku dok asyik mengunyah ajer... sampai officemates aku pun tegur.... aku macam 'eating machine'..... workstation aku pun penuh ngan makanan...... Aku makan bukan sebab lapar pun... tapi sebab 'rasa nak makan'.... kalau tak makan, rasa macam tak leh ak buat keje.... maybe it is an ADDICTION!!!!

Teringat lak aku kat office lama aku.... tempat aku memang banyak makanan pun.... sesapa duduk ngan aku memang tak kelaparan lah.....

Sekarang nie pun macam tuh jugak..... Ilani yang kurus kering depan aku nie pun, kalau duduk lama ngan aku, sure bole gemuk.... tapi aku yang dah memang kembang nie, nak jadik apa??? jadik FIXED ASSETS kat office nie.....???

Ilani yang me'lidi' and aku yang ......

Hm..... aku kena control aku nye eating habits nie.... Nak buat carta penakanan lah.... Actually, pernah daftar Marie France.... tapi tak berjaya pun... sebabnye aku kurang berdiscipline utk attend twice a week and control aku nye diet.... aku pernah betah ngan consultant dia gak... aku kata,"Kalau setakat nak control makan, baik saya tak yah daftar MF nie...." Since aku dah bayar, aku teruskan jer la treatment dia.... malas nak bising2.... tapi the imporant things to lose your weight are:
1. Healthy lifestyle i.e bersenam regularly and eat the right food
2. Drink plain water at least 8 glasses a day


Most slimming centre just assist you in:
1. monitoring your weight progress
2. giving consultation on your diet
3. reshaping your body... ye la, kalau kurus mendadak, body tak berapa lawa sangat sebab kulit bole menggeleber... so, those slimming centre reducekan that effect.


So.... I must start to STOP my BAD EATING HABITS!!!!! and start my mission on losing weight!!!

MONEY....MONEY....MONEY..... (Part 2 - Final)

Baru jer nak mengeluh.... tapi teringat lak, Islam tak suka umat nye yang suka mengeluh..... aku rasa aku kena baiki habit aku yang suka mengeluh..... Mari kite tukarkan habit mengeluh kepada habit bersyukur dan redha.....

Last post, I mentioned about analysis on credit card spending... so, in this post, I will explain about my monthly budget ( it is not for 'complaining', but for me to be more discipline in spending my PRECIOUS MONEY!!!!

My Monthly Budget

I have 2 source of income:
i) from my employment
ii) from my beloved hubby (Thank you my darling....muah...muah... ;* love you...)

so.... here we go.....

From the computation, aku hanya ade RM300 jer untuk mengharungi 30 hari setiap bulan.... so, budget aku setiap hari adalah RM10..... :) Alhamdulillah............... (ingat...kite kena sentiasa redha dan bersyukur.....)

ye la.... cuma satu jer yang terkilan, aku tak leh nak buat saving bulan2..... tak bole nak invest kat mana2 investment..... sedih kan??? so.... Still mencari SINAR........

IMMEDIATE ACTION:

apa yang aku buat la nie..... BERSYUKUR, REDHA and just go with the flow, sambil menanti SINAR........ hehehehe.... kena la Happy jer jalani hidup ini..... Kena selalu motivate diri!!!!! Gambatte ne!!!!

MONEY....MONEY....MONEY..... (Part 1)

Still remember what I told you last post?

Aku ade mention about 'kenapa aku masih menanti SINAR', kan???? heheheheh..... sebabnye, IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY....!!!!!

Setelah berhempas pulas aku berusaha dengan gigih setiap bulan selama 9 bulan lepas, apa yang aku perasan:

1. Credit Card outstanding balance aku bertambah.....
2. No balance of fund to save or invest
3. Tak de duit nak beli barangan cosmetic, buku, majalah, dan makanan yang sedap
4. Beli tengok statement KWSP, sangat sedih.... kalau retire nanti, tak sure bole bertahan berapa lama duit tuh....

So, to make myself discipline in spending my money and settling credit card outstanding balance, aku pun buat la 'FINANCIAL ANALYSIS' untuk diri aku.... (selama nie dok buat analysis for client's companies.... so, gunakan expertise utk analyse diri sendirik lak...)


FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Aku bahagikan kepada 3 subtitles, which are:

• Monthly Credit Card Balance Movement
• Analysis on Expenses via Credit Card
• Analysis on Spending vs Settlement

OK, lets start.........

Monthly Credit Card Balance Movement

As what I said earlier and from the above graph, my outstanding balance keeps increasing.... huhuhuhu...... :(

Analysis on Expenses via Credit Card

This analysis generally explain what I spent using Credit Card.......
Biru - Petrol
Ungu - Personal
Kuning - JOHAR (car maintenance)
Merah - Interest on Credit Card

So....Noted the followings:

• Average monthly petrol expenses = RM250
• Average monthly personal exp = RM xxx (rahsia la....)
• Average monthly interest = RMxx (also rahsia)
• Average spending for JOHAR's maintenance every 4 month = RM250, thus conclude that monthly exp for JOHAR = RM63
• High usage for personal expenses

Recommendation:

• Reduce personal expenses
  

Analysis on Spending vs Settlement

Merah - Spending (Expenses)

Biru - Settlement (Payment)

Oren - Addtional/Reduction to outstandding amount

From the above graph, I can conclude that most of the settlements (payments) are lower compared to spending (expenses) made every month.

Recommendation:

• To pay more than expense.... (bole ke dengan gaji aku yang ciput sekarang nie???)

....................................................................................................................


Itu baru analysis on my credit card.... Belum lagik aku nye budget bulanan......... Aku rasa macam nak pitam tengok analysis tuh.... Honestly, personal expenses tuh tak la banyak mana... and it is related to my spending on barang-barang keperluan i.e. berus gigi, ubat gigi, pantyliner, sabun, dll.... so, nak tak nak kena la cut jugak.... sabun, ubat gigi, shampoo kena jimat.... huhuhuhu.....

Next time aku sambung on my Monthly Budget kay.....
