Days after days, weeks after weeks and soon the year 2009 will come to an end. Lots of memories and challenges that have been experienced. All became history. My family has grown in number from four to five ( picture of son's wedding) .Next year myself, husband and daughter already planned a vacation to Abu Dhabi/Dubai 11-jan-2010 till 16-jan-2010. We got the cheap airfare from Air Asia x. I have made a booking in Rush Inn hotel Dubai via internet. The location is near city centre and located near to bus and train station. This is a strategic location because most interesting places are within walking distances so we might save on transportation. I read from the internet there is direct bus service from Abu Dhabi to bus station near to the hotel. We love adventure and looking forward for the challenge. ... Seeing the beauty creation of the almighty Allah.

Challenging the eyes

I just came back from group lunch at Spread garden Hotel sponsored by the vendor . Lots of things to eat and all taste very delicious. I did not take any rice but I tasted all the dishes like 'satay', beef steak, ice cream, fish,cakes and variaties of other foods. Guest what? I am feeling so sleepy now. I am writing this blog hoping to overcome the sleepiness but my eyes becoming smaller and smaller and my vision becoming dimmer and dimmer. The challenge today is to keep awake and continue working after a heavy lunch . Dear god, help me please...

Busy as a challenge

I haven't posted anything since April. Very busy, I got a bad luck. The night before I left to Medan, thief entered my house. He ( I assumed one man) did not broke in but managed to hooked my house key through the window and happily went in and went away with my handbag that consisted many items , my gold ring, bracelet, watch, purse, money and all important documents including credit cards and driving license. Luckily my passport was not there. We lodged police report, bank reports and finally I reached the airport half an hour before departure. I felt lucky since we are still safe and alive as the thief just sufficient with the handbag and we still managed to catch the flight. I have to depend on my husband money and credit card for shopping. Thanks god.

After coming back, I have to follow up with all the necessary departments to get copies of the stolen documents. The wedding arrangement is still ongoing with activities like delivering invitation cards, preparation for engagement ceremony on 1st. May 2009, packing wedding goodies, booking of 'kompang' ( traditional musical instrument), booking of Deejay and PA system and still need some more shopping and coordination works......... Tiring as this is my first experience. Really hope the wedding will go smooth, the weather will be fine, the food will be sufficient and the guests will be coming. This is another challenge where I need to balance the office work and my personal work and now I started to wake up in the middle of night ..... so worried my dear.

Study cum vacation

Tomorrow 14th. March 2009 I will be leaving for Medan. I will complete a nutrition module for my Bachelor of Homeopathic in Medical Science in University Sumatera Utara (USU). The BHMS is a twinning program between Malaysia Homeopathic Association and USU. I have to take 5 modules in USU and 7 modules in Kuala Lumpur. This is my last module in Indonesia. By the way, I will take the opportunity to shop for my son's wedding and also to meet my daughter who studied there.

My flight will be tomorrow evening, not much time... I have to run some errands. I planned to send homeopathic medicine to my cousin via postage. She claimed that she experienced improvement on her vitiligo, the white skin has turned red so she wants to continue taking homeopathy. Alhamdulillah, I felt happy for her... I also got to run to the medical book store which is quite far from my office nor home to get some books for my daughter. I will also called my loyal patient to check on her health. She just revisited me to get some remedies for stomach and knee pain. She has been consulting me since December 2007 for GERD problem. Her health condition was improved after taking homeopathy, now only sometime she faced acidity problem if she is not careful with the nutrition that she takes .

In the office, I want to finish my task, doing some monitoring and reading. Okay need to stop here and get moving ...

Challenge as a wedding planner

Its quite a long time since my last post. I'm very busy now. In the office I am busy with my jobs and at home I'm busy with preparation for my son's wedding. InsyaAllah the wedding will commence on 27th. June 2009. My house is messy with some renovation works. My sewing machine was busy too. I completed sewing curtains for the main hall. Yet to complete sewing curtains for other places in the house. Really fun and cost saving. Anyway I planned to buy the valance for the curtains so that my plain curtains will look elegant, ha..ha..ha. My daughter in Indonesia will assist me to find materials and send to tailor in Indonesia. She will be in charge of the wedding card too! Pity her , besides busy with her medic study she got to run some errand for me.

Last Friday (13th. February 2009), I took my son and his wife-to-be to a wedding shop to take measurements for their wedding dress. I decided for tradisional dress 'songket'. Its look nice , simple and comfortable. For the night dress may be I will ask my daughter to find a nice lace material in Indonesia and send to the tailor over there. My husband was busy as the project manager for the renovation work, we bought all the construction materials and hired Indonesian workers to construct it. My husband himself will paint the house, another cost saving eh...

This is my other challenge of the year as the wedding planner.... May Allah bless us.

Yesterday I spent sometime in the morning doing house chores and gardening. Then I followed my husband to a hardware shop to buy bathroom tiles for my other house that is still under construction. My husband is the project manager for this house. We planned to rent-out soon. The house is located near to my parent's house so I stopped there for lunch . Nice "Laksa" a kind of noodles, very, very delicious. I spent the whole evening there.

Today I spent my time sewing my own dress. I want to go to a friend's wedding in Ulu Langat. She is my homeopathy classmate and she married to our classmate too. His father is one of the homeopathic lecturer. I met another classmate while eating. Its a long time we haven't met each other. Really enjoy the holiday. Its a long weekend combined with 2 days of Chinese New Year holidays.

Tonite, I planned to do some groceries. My son and husband will be accompanying me...

I am still surfing info for my assignment. Got some ideas now but need to study more. Now is lunch time so I diverted to my other challenge. Actually I am practicing homeopathy. My cousin called me yesterday asking for vitiligo treatment so I studied her case and mailed the medicine yesterday morning. She has been visiting skin specialist but still not ok and her vitiligo has spreaded at the mouth (originated here) and now her ten fingers. Finally she wanted to try homeopathy treatment with me. I promised her to do my best ( Insya Allah - god's willing) and now I want to follow up whether she already received my medicine. I like this challenge. Please pray for my success...

My first Challenge in 2009

This is the first time I am writing blogs. I just move to new office. The assignment is to come out with first quarter deliverables. This is really a challenge, cause this is a new unit and not having someone to refer. I surfed the internet for more info and see what others have done. Besides getting info I found this free blogspot. So I decided to record my challenge here.
