Living with Sarah

It's going to be quiet weekend. Anak comel won't be coming back. Next week dia ada 3 mid-term papers. Kena stay dan study lah. But then she called this afternoon for a chit chat and said she'll be going to Jonker's Street with her friends. OK lah, not too far. Kalau dah stay Melaka tak pergi Jonker's Street kira macam tak duduk Melaka lah kan! I finished making 2 palazzo pants these few days. One I make for my CBF mate Rahani. The one she ordered katanya ketat sikit kat waist. Kena wiggle sikit nak pakai or take off. Alamak, that's the second feedback I got for that exact same pattern. Bila check measurement macam betul. Pelik lah pulak. Maybe I should draw another one for that particular pattern. Something must be wrong somewhere... I made a new pants for her saja-saja. Tapi belum dapat bagi lagi sebab tak jumpa. I also made one for my niece. Also using the same pattern. Sebab beza 1 inci saja. Hopefully she likes this. Now starting on a 2nd pair for anot...

Masa kemas office lama, I terjumpa satu plastic box berisi kain cotton di surau. A forgotten box. Dalam tu rupanya ada saki-baki kain cotton yang 3-4 tahun dulu buat business kids' baju kurung cotton. Dan kain-kain tu elok lagi. I took the box home and started a project. Dah lama nak experiment buat dress untuk little girls. Tapi kain yang sesuai tak ada. Motivation pun tak ada. Now I have loads to experiment with! And I successfully made one yesterday 😍. First attempt guna saja free pattern. This is for 2T/3T. Memang cari pattern yang tak guna zip atau snap button. Butang tu fixed.  I am so in love with this dress! So cute! Tapi original pattern ni sebenarnya ada salah sikit. I dah betulkan on a new pattern. Lain kali buat Insyaallah OK. Hari ni start experiment guna pattern lain yang konsepnya hampir sama tapi tak ada butang. Maybe esok siap kot. If OK, tengah pikir-pikir cari modal beli kain dan offer this for sale. Because making this is quite fun. Ye lah... sement...

Setelah 2 hari berhempas-pulas, beg untuk baby stroller tu pun siap... Sebenarnya boleh awal lagi tapi entah kenapa mengong sikit kepala salah calculation dan salah potong kain untuk bahagian atas drawstring tu. Dua kali pulak tu! Adeh... bukan apa, ini first time buat beg yang tepi macam box. Tu yang lupa kira sekali bahagian tepi tu 😅. Tak apa... kain lebih tu nanti boleh sambung buat tote bags.  Ini lining nya  Akhirnya siap! Tinggal nak masukkan string. End product. Size 50cm x 50cm x 25cm. Boleh kot masuk baby stroller. Itu size yang customer bagi. Lepas ni nak jahit seluar sendiri pulak. Pinggang dah ramping sikit ni 😉 seluar I banyak dah longgar. Maybe lepas tu boleh try buat blouse yang dah lama janji nak buat untuk anak comel. Steps wise... I managed to get the last star for this month's challenge. Lagi 4 hari ni kena try complete the challenge 💪.  One star tak dapat. Ini semalam. Hubbs dah complete challenge. I masih terhegeh-hegeh lag...

Anak comel dah lama teringin nak makan K Fry. OK lah, sebelum dia exam, layankan saja tekak dia. Memang dah lama sangat tak makan sana. Bukan apa, malas nak beratur panjang. Berlengkar queuenya. Semalam sekolah anak comel cuti extra sempena Deepavali, so bawaklah dia pergi IOI City Mall. On the way suruh dia download app yang K Fry guna untuk booking table. Verdict - we were very happy with the app, walaupun silap budget our queue number. Depan kita orang ada dalam 18 orang, so siap pergi Daiso yang terletak at the other side of the building. Hampir sampai Daiso I suruh anak comel check app, rupanya dah panggil. Terus suruh dia pergi dulu sementara I cari barang kat Daiso. Siap berlari anak comel balik ke K Fry 😂. Berpeluh-peluh tau lari, kata dia 😀  Texted Hubbs - ada lagi 3 ketul ni... About 5 minutes later I texted again - Sorry, habis... First time habis makan! Selalunya mesti kena tapau 😅. I finished Hubbs' pants. Sekejap saja buatnya. Dia kata OK. Tapi se...

Cepatnya masa berlalu. Dah masuk November. Lately life sangat mundane dan boring. Cerita yang sama saja... Anyway, I've finished Nazri's orders. Took a very long time to finish! Alhamdulillah... seronok rasa orders dah selamat diserahkan. Now nak start buat pants untuk Hubbs pulak. The final piece. I told Nazri - Thanks for giving me a reason to try sewing tops! Lepas ni rasa macam boleh dah buat proper blouse. Pattern untuk Hubbs dah siap. Nak start potong kain. I sebenarnya tak sure the same method boleh guna untuk buat seluar lelaki atau tidak. Nak experiment. Happy birthday to beloved cucu sedara Muhammad Ilham. That little rascal turned 1 on 2nd November. Dapat invitation untuk join gateway ke Melaka celebrate birthday tapi timing tak berapa kena pulak. Adehh... skema nya rambut! Hahaha... he is so adorable. Tok Teh, Nek Teh dan Mak Long Aliyah bagi dia hadiah ni. Hehehe... biar dia bergusti dengan makhluk ni 😁! The three of us went to PICC lunch b...

My little family spent the weekend walking. Very long walks. At malls 😁. I consider the walks as exercise because they added up to more than 10,000 steps per day. Bukan apa, anak comel's birthday is coming up next Friday, but then she'll be attending this SPM camp from Friday till Sunday at school. So, there won't be a celebration for her. That's why we spent the weekend getting her birthday present and just chilling out. Yesterday we went to MyTown and spent almost the whole day there! I got her to pick her own stuff at Bath & Body Works. She then bought a pair of jeans using her own money. Punyalah persistent tak nak guna allocation Abah dia sebab dia nak something else which obviously costs more 😅. As usual naik MRT. Mata sedikit bengkak sebab awal lagi! Hari ni ke IOI City Mall pulak untuk survey the present she wanted her Abah to get her. Then a short stop at Alamanda sebab benda tu tak jumpa pulak di IOI City Mall. Bila dah decide on the item, we had...

I'm feeling much better today. Tetap berdoa semoga urusan dipermudahkan. Tapi hati manusia ni lain. Kita ni elakkan sangat buat benda yang Allah murka, tapi ada orang rasa benda tu biasa saja. Tak apalah. Redha. Serah pada Allah. Dengan semangat waja, hari ni awal pagi dah keluar jogging. Pusing retention pond saja. Agak ramai kat sana pagi tadi. Bagus sebenarnya jogging kat situ. Tak ada asap kenderaan. This is worthy to be noted. 46mins today! Waaahhh... akak suka, akak suka 😎. And I'm back on track! Ceeewahh! As usual, lepas bakar lemak kita ganti dengan lemak baru 👍. I'm half way through with the tote bag. Nampak macam OK.  Experiment menjadi 💪. Dan sambil-sambil buat tote bag, dapat pulak idea nak buat skirt for my workouts. Selalu pergi Sports Direct memang belek-belek tennis skirt tapi harga macam mahal lah pulak. Ingat nak pakai masa pergi kelas untuk tutup sikit my Reebok workout pants. Lagi dua yang I ada memang I beli yang skirt pan...

Tomorrow is Hari Malaysia. So, Monday is a holiday. Bulan ni memang bulan cuti. Hubbs switched his leave. He worked on Wednesday and took the rest of the week off. Itulah sebab steps challenge I dah jauh ketinggalan! I also missed the 100k badge. These few days hati tak berapa best sebab problem dengan office tenancy tu. Nak pergi jogging pun malas. After a few sleepless nights, today I finally made peace with myself. Lepas buat solat taubat, I'm leaving everything to Allah swt. Perancangan DIA tentunya lebih baik. Kalau I susah sekarang, Insyaallah kesenangan akan datang nanti. Susah disebabkan oleh orang lain itu namanya dianiaya. Dan doa orang yang dianiaya Insyaallah makbul. Anyway, jogging petang tadi berjaya buat hati rasa OK sikit 😎   Alhamdulillah these few days rezeki murah. Walaupun belum pick up barang dia, I got payment for the palazzo and pajamas from Nazri. Macam tau-tau je I tengah pokai 😁. I also finished making the lunch bag. Pun dah dapat payment t...

Long holidays spent just at home. Anak comel dah start trial SPM. Definitely not going anywhere! Tapi acara wajib setiap pagi ialah ke Hj Tapah makan tosai 😅. Lepas pergi workout, balik rumah fetch dia dulu. Got my 2nd badge yesterday. Hubbs dah meluru ke hadapan! Cisss... Ketinggalan sebab semalam ponteng jogging. Hari ni ada kelas CBT tapi indoor so tak banyak steps. I managed to arrange for trial class for Hubbs on Thursday. Kasi try kot lah suka 😎. I've finished the top for that purple fabric. Alhamdulillah... Can deliver to Nazri 2 palazzos and 3 pajama sets. Ni nak stop kejap buat pajamas sebab that lady yang 2-3 kali order bags tu pagi tadi confirm order lunch bag. Kasi siap itu dulu baru sambung buat pajamas. The finished top. Dah laju buat. Bukan apa, tak payah layan butang! Akhirnya kain ini akan diguna. Lama dah beli kat Spotlight. Masa tu sale. Very nice cotton. Tapi peram saja dalam kotak tak da idea nak buat apa. For the lunch bag, customer tu nak ka...

It's a long weekend with holidays on Monday and Tuesday. Hubbs is taking extra 2 days off. Lama betul cuti mesti beratnya nak kerja on Friday 😅. Niat hati nak ajak hiking. Lama betul tak panjat bukit tapi hujan pulak these few days. My SIL Angah Mas is safely back from Hajj on Friday. Alhamdulillah... Tapi belum kesempatan nak pergi ziarah lagi. Kasi dia hilang penat dulu 😊. This morning I added another 1km to my usual 5K. Did it in 58mins 💪. Penatnya sama saja. Tapi rasa lamanya nak habis! I was like - bila nak habis ni? Bila nak habis ni wei? Slow-slow nanti nak add another 1km until one fine day dunno when I'm gonna run 10km 😎 Hari ni dia buat 7km saja. Tapi steps wise sudah meninggalkan I agak jauh 😒 I'm done with pajama bottom for that purple material. Now doing top pulak. Seksa sikit nak adjust sana sini sebab kain macam tak cukup. Nazri requested add 2" all around. Susah juga. Yang mana boleh lah...  Bottom yang dah siap. Hari ni lunch...
