The opening of money talk

One of my resolutions this year is to save more money. My target actually was RM1k/month or RM10k/year. Kind of lenient with myself due to raya preparation.

However, these past couple of months I failed to do so. The main reason was I had to lend the money. Yup, for 2 months in a row. Well, I could simply refuse to lend the money but isn't it good helping others. Even though still feel a bit disturbed thinking on when will I get the money back. Hmm... so far takde bunyi pun :(.

Ok this morning, I calculated my total saving.. ~RM360 to reach RM75k! So basically I have RM70k. I don't know whether it can be considered much for people like me, or little, or just average. At the age of 37, how much saving should you have? My friends never discuss about this. But I have a friend who said that at this age, we couldn't save much. So how much is much??

Ok back to my own saving, forget about others' savings, I hope to have RM100k before when I reach 40. So about RM25k in 3 years. That's RM8.5k/year. Not much, but will not be easy too if I'm not determined enough & set the goal clear. That's why I wrote this post. I have to be strict with my own expenses. Maybe just forget about traveling & splurging for these couple of years.

However, currently I'm reading a book where in the book it stated that our saving is ours but it's unnecessarily our rezeki. It's not our rezeki until we actually spend it & get benefit from it. So I don't want to be so strict either until I become kedekut with myself & worse, people around me. Anyhow, even though I'm the one who saved the money, but with Allah's will. May Allah ease the way & bless my goal :).

A welcome back speech

Welcome back to myself!!!

Ok 1stly nak umumkan, I'm already a mother of 2! So somehow the journey to motherhood actually started after a few posts in this blog. Rezeki yang tak diduga setelah beberapa tahun menanti. Alhamdulillah.

But I've been there, I know how it feels.. So to all TTCians out there, don't give up *tunjuk tangan sado*. Keep on praying & just be happy. Always think +ve ok. Easier said than done, I know. But well, we gotta do what we gotta do right. Nak sedih2, depress pun buat apa. Pedulikan soalan & kata orang. Kalau rasa nak laserkan je, just do it. They don't care about your feeling, why should you. Hahahaa. Because you're better than them? Fine, tapi balik rumah, masuk bilik jangan nak menangis plak. Be strong bebeh.

I don't actually mean to write a speech here. Ok bye.

In pain...

Posterior pelvic pain is low back ache that is experienced behind the pelvis, below the waist, and/or across the tailbone or sacrum. It can also be felt in the buttocks, on one or both sides, or in the back of the thighs. You may also have pubic pain. Posterior pelvic pain occurs four times more frequently than lumbar pain during pregnancy.

Posterior pelvic discomfort can be aggravated by bending, twisting, rolling, climbing stairs, and prolonged leaning forward such as occurs when you sit at a computer for extended periods of time.

Posterior pelvic pain is often mistaken as sciatica. When you have sciatica, it causes discomfort not only in the low back, hips, buttocks, and thighs, but also in the legs. With sciatica, the leg pain is generally more severe than the spinal pain, and is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or pin-pricking sensations. This aching and numbness generally radiates all the way into the toes. Numbness may also extend to the groin and genital areas.

Sciatica is generally caused by a herniated or bulging disk.

The bold sentences are exactly how I feel rite now. Memang lately rasa sakit macam tu. Tapi pagi ni rasa lagi sakit after a few hours depan komputer. Sampai nak duduk pun dah tak selesa. Nak baring tak boleh. At last, berdiri... bagi sakit tu kurang sikit. Alhamdulillah, sekarang sakit tu dah berkurangan. Hopefully takde masalah serius with my back.

Cerita pasal handbag pula...

Salah satu benda kesukaan aku ialah handbag. Aku rasa kebanyakkan perempuan memang suka handbag kan. Kalau tak suka tu mungkin kurang normal sebab handbag ni adalah salah satu keperluan bagi perempuan bila keluar rumah. Kalau tak ada handbag, macam mana nak bawak segala mak nenek barang. Wallet & handphone dah tentu wajib. Lain-lain seperti kunci, barang makeup, tisu etc.

Kalau ikut hati, asal nampak handbag cantik je mesti nak beli. Yang membataskan diri cuma budget & ruang simpanan. Ok, budget yang utama. Kat mana nak simpan tu soal kedua. Walaupun kita perempuan ni suka handbag, tapi taste lain-lain.

Contohnya, aku tak berkenan dengan handbag ni dan yang seumpama dengannya...

Aku tau ramai yang berkenan dengan this handbag. Memang nampak elegant gaya model tu carry the handbag. Aku tak berkenan sebab aku memang tak suka handbag jenis flap. Susah nak seluk cari barang. Aku lebih suka beg yang pakai zip aje.

Well, well, well... walau pun tak berkenan tapi kalau dapat sebagai hadiah, tetap hati melonjak keriangan berbunga-bunga. Chanel ok, siapa tak nak.
