Attention Everybody!

ANNOUNCEMENT NO 1.
To those who have add slide in their blogs (from slide.com), I would not able to access your blog and worse still, leave comments as much as I wanted too, coz my office decided to firewall that kind of stuff. So, everytime if I tried to access your blog, I will be kicked off from the cyberworld completely. Please understand my situation here.Is not that I don't want to visit you, but I've got no choice (except going to cyber cafe just to blog hop...or subscribe to internet at home...extra cost for me, thus not a good idea).

ANNOUNCEMENT NO 2.
This blog owner is in need of the following:-

1. Facial
I need it badly. The last time I went for facial is like..emmm...one year ago. Or perhaps more. Together with an eye treatment is more I like it. I really need to lighten the dark eye circle underneath my eyes, and prepare myself to turning 3-0 in about three months time. I don't want to look like I've just turn 4-0 on my birthday.Perhaps its time to pay a visit to normal beauty centre.

2. Shoes
Few of them actually. Currently I only have these:-
i. A pair of weekend shoes,
ii. A pair for going back and worth to LRT everyday,
iii. A pair for office wear, which I use interchangeably in any function like kenduri kawin for example.

I know it does sound pathetic.
I really want so much to have the following shoes:-
i. A pair of high-cut boots to wear with jubah-like dress perhaps. Ala-ala Muslimah sejati yang stylo.
ii. A pair of comfy shoes for Sydn3y trip.
iii. A stiletos for attending formal functions like weddings or dinners. With a matching handbag would be nice.

To anyone who would be able to sponsor the above items, you are very much appreciated. You are indeed my 'bestest' friend.

This blog owner is running out of spare cash to spend on herself. She has been using her monthly income for loan repayments including credit card, bibik's salary, Ashraff's school fees, her disposable contact lenses (coz she's never gonna wear spectacles to work), putting aside a fixed amount of money for the holiday, makan and tambang, just to name a few.

The only thing that she can control on spending is buying things for her kids, which she finds it's extremely hard to do so. In fact, she has categorised that thing as her fixed expenses. She can never walk out from any children's department store without buying anything. She would rather spend on her children's stuffs rather than pampering herself. Do all mommies act the way she does?

Ok, one way out is to use a credit card just to fulfill her wish list. But that's not really way out, isn't it? This blogger doesn't want to get hook with credit card. In fact, her target is to clear off her credit card balance as much as she can, just to prepare for new potential debts for e.g. shopping at Sydn3y...hihi...

So what this blogger is implementing currently is the 'envelope system'. One envelope with money for food only, another one for tambang, one for gaji bibik..and she is thinking of coming out with another envelope just for her kids' stuffs so that she doesn't overspend. How's that?
Her plan is to put aside the cash leftovers for the things she wanted most i.e facial and shoes. And she got to act really fast before her birthday in June and before the trip in August. That's quite a tough job, isn't it?

ANNOUNCEMENT NO 3.
The little home business of mine, CreateMyOwnGift, is somesort of abandoned for almost half a year. Am not doing promotion. Have not updated the website. Will just fulfill any orders should we are lucky enough to receive one. I guess we are too caught up with work and raising a family.

But lately, I've started to brainstorm on few projects with my partners, and hopefully we could come out with something before this year ends.

Will make an announcement then, insyaAllah.

In the meantime, if you do want to order some personalized book or tshirt, please enquire within. I also do some personalized birthday and baby newspaper for close friends and family in my spare time (if I have any). Sorry I can't upload sample photos for your viewing. But you are free to email me.

ANNOUNCEMENT NO 4
Berapa banyak announce daaa...Cukuplah 3 je...

aku kan tensen gila. dari aritu aku nak tinggal comment tak dapat. heheh.. i think it's normal for mommies to spend on their kids w/o guilt. aku pon skang ni, kalau nak beli anything for aliah mmg senang je tapi nak beli sendiri punya pikir la pikir sampai memang udahnya tak beli pon.

mommamia said...

sama la kita raf,i rasa semua mommies mementingkan brg anak2 dulu drpd brg sendiri, and bout the shoes tu,same goes with me,i'm so desperately need a new shoes since i ada 2 kasut jer utk tukar2 pergi kerja,ada 2-3 psg kasut yg dah rosak tapak dia tersadai je dlm boot keta-so haritu pegi shopping ingat nak beli kasut,end up i belikan irina jeans and baju,hangus my shoes budget..so i just went to cobbler and repair kasut2 i yg dah rosak tu,so skang i ada la 4-5 psg kasut utk gi keje even dah agak buruk..huhu-i pun tgh blajar limitkan pakai c.card,dpt bonus every year keje i clearkan utang c.card je la,tak boleh nak berpoya2 ng duit bonus,so azam i thn ni nak clearkan utang c.card so that duit bonus boleh guna utk enjoy katak!

eiseais said...

:( i need shoes as well. hari tu dah plan nak get a pair. but the boys' things take precedence.

eh...sounds nice ur home biz. update lah cepat2. i byk nak plan bdays ni. mana tau maybe ur biz would come in handy for my planning

rafiqaheliza said...

izreen: very priceylah these swimwears coz they r all imported. amik photo nadya swim, nak tgk...mesti cute!

Haariz's mom: Tragiskan kita ni...Got no time and $$ to self-pamper ourselves. I kasut selalu rosak kat tumit. I rasa I jalan tak betul lah...hehe..

Nana: Ntahnya kita ni..kalau nak shop for the kids, we are like the biggest shopaholic. Tapi kalau for us, tetiba he tukar jadik financial controller.

Mommamia : Selagi boleh repair, repair. Tang mana yg boleh repair sendiri tu buat sendiri. Mmg pathetic habis. I bonus pun seminit je habis, sebab clear hutang crt card punya psl. Ni nak kena limit or perhaps don't use cd card at all. Tend to go overboard with it..mostly on aliff, ashraff, aliff, ashraff...

Eiseai: heh, everybody need shoes lah pulak (referring to other comments)...Psl biz tu, we'll see what we can do. Time is very limited nowadays. Tak menang tangan...
