Tabiat baru

Assalamualaikum.

Sunday. 
Masih dalam hibernation mode.
Bangun pagi. Pergi pasar. 
Perkara ini mungkin boleh termasuk dalam keajaiban dunia sebab Arina memang jarang pergi pasar.
So pergi pasar hari ini sebab ada target baru.
Apa dia?
Target nak masak sendiri sepanjang minggu ni untuk dinner. Hahah. Rasa macam nak gelakkan diri sendiri sebab sangat jarang masak kat rumah. Bukan tak reti masak, just..malas. Pastu selalu rasa makan kedai lebih kurang je dengan harga masak sendiri. Tapi lately terasa harga makan di kedai semakin meningkat. Seiiring dengan peningkatan kolesterolku. Huhu. Jadi tujuan impian yang ini adalah untuk berjimat dan juga masak makanan sihat.
Encik tunang cadangkan untuk post apa yang saya masak dalam blog ini. Menarik juga. Boleh consider. Mari memasak gaya ringkas (dan malas) Arina. Haha

Grocery hari ini;
Ikan kembung 7 ekor: RM5.00
Sayur salad, tomato, terung: RM5.00+
Vico 500g: RM15.60 (untuk diminum dengan ESP Shaklee waktu sarapan pagi)
Ayam 5 ketul sederhana: RM6.00+
Bawang merah: RM3.00

So untuk sarapan dah settle, VICO+ ESP. Untuk tenaga dan kecantikan kulit. Eheh. Promote pulak. Tapi seriously rasa kulit better bila konsisten minum ESP. Target beli sebenarnya untuk tenaga. Sebab selalu fatigue masa kerja. Minum ESP rasa better. Eventually kulit pun rasa better. Dua minggu tanpa pencuci muka pun takde hal. Takde jerawat naik. Selalu sehari dua tak ada pencuci muka mesti dah macam apa. Boleh la kot lepas ini repeat. So kena la jimat benda-benda lain kalau nak maintain minum ni. 

Untuk lunch, makan kat kantin ofis je. Malas nak bawak bekal. Kecah-kecah nak basuh Tipuware bagai. Haha. Nauzubillah pemalas. Next time lah kan. Bila dah improve target yang aku plan hari ini, which is untuk masak untuk dinner je. InsyaAllah. Semakin hari semakin baik. Itu yang kita harapkan. Jyeahh.

Dinner. I need it. Pernah dulu selalu skip dinner. Konon makan malam tak sihat. Tapi sebenarnya bila tak makan lagi sakit. Darah rendah sampai pening-pening. So takpelah gemuk sikit tapi sihat. Lol. Makan malam wajib bagi aku.

Dinner plan:
Ayam grill
Ikan bakar
Sambal belacan
Terung balado
Sayur tomato/salad

Ha. Menu sihat katako. Jauh lebih sihat daripada benda aku makan sehari-hari sekarang ni. Dengan ini jugak harapnya kolesterol menurun dengan mendadaknya. Amin. 

Remark: Those youngsters out there, you gotta check your cholesterol level. Macam saya, ingat tak lah tinggi sebab muda. Padahal nauzubillah tinggi. Macam makcik-makcik 40an. Nasib baik check and start control. Kalau tak check teruskan makan kepci, pizza, telur goreng and ikan bilis goreng hari-hari, mau mati mengejut kena stroke. Ohoh.

So berbalik kepada target minggu ni, so lepas ni kos untuk makanan untuk 5 hari would be:
Breakfast:RM0
Lunch kat kantin ofis: RM5 X 5: RM25
Dinner masak sendiri: RM3 (Ayam/Ikan + Sayur) X 5: RM15
Total: RM35 seminggu. 

Waww. Murahnya. Yeke boleh camni?
So we wait and seee.. HAHA

OK. target yang ni dulu. Start small. Benda yang kecil-kecil ni lah yang akan membuat perubahan kepada perkara yang lebih besar kan?

OK. That's all for now
Assalamualaikum.

Re-aligning everything

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

Today is 20th November 2016, Sunday.
Unusual Sunday as I just keep myself at home. Past weekends I had been moved a lot to do things that I think I need to.
It is almost 1 year since I had left this blog abandon. Even this is the time I should have been writing a lot cause I learnt so many things, gaining new experience. For the past 1 year, I learnt a lot as an engineer, went many local places, camping and hiking. Should have blogged them all for future memories. 

Those stories I which I had blogged them:

- Places: Lata Hammer, Bentong. Bukit Tabur. Bukit Sapu Tangan. Pine Tree Hill & Twin Peak, Fraser Hill. Gunung Gap. Gunung Ulu Semangkuk. Gunung Nuang.
- Volunteering program: Rumah Hidayah Bukit Gantang Perak
- Islamic classes by Akademi Sinergi

Maybe I will consider of writing them later.

***

Some say, it takes you a good fall before you can raise up again. So that is where I am now.
Sink to the bottom. So, I need some re-aligning of everything. Maybe by looking forward I could eventually lift up my spirit and start doing.
Since it is about the end of the year, let's plan ahead.

My future plan
1. Get married on the end of July 2017.
- Have not start anything yet. Maybe another 2 months we will start the real preparations.

2. Earning and saving more, helping fiancee to save money for the wedding and marriage. Maybe it will be second job or starting small business.

My ideas of earning more:

1. Overtime 
Pros: No big plan required
Cons: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, they say.

2. Business.

- Selling telekung (made of light material, not transparent, easy to carry to travel)
- Selling tote bag; resuming my previous business
Pros: Easy market target, don't have expiry date
Cons: Need to invest to buy new sewing machine

- Selling things in jar (cookies, coffee mix)
Pros: Possible
Cons: Still need to find market target

3. Mending myself, be a true muslimah who devote Allah first before all of thing in this world. Be nice to everybody. Works hard, etc,etc..

Things I think I need to do to become a better muslimah

1. Ceramah agama once a week
2. Tahajud once a week
3. A book per week; after Isyak would be the best time to read 
4. Read al-Quran minimum two pages a day
5. Pray on time
6. Dress properly, currently finding new tudung that could cover chest and shoulder.
7. Smile always: Remind me if I forgot about this.
8. Qowiyul jism: Swimming once in a week, running/hiking once a week

So that is all I can think of now.
My Allah gives me strength, get me istiqamah to become a better person. Amin.
Chiao.
