Ok quick update cos i need to run and get envelopes, collect cards and do some print-jobs.
Honestly, i thought that now that i am working from home, i thought i would have more time to myself. Tapi macam sama aja..
I have been running around for appointments and errands and making sure i come back by 5.00pm to cook dinner for the hubby because i’m one of the nicest wife on earth.
Honestly, i have a lot to update on the blog. The last day at work, the TTC journey thus far some other random stuff but because this is supposed to be a quick post, i shall leave you with this 1st!
Because this is our 1st showcase at the Expo, expect lots of discounts and awesome freebies!! Not kidding you.
I will be collaborating with Pesona Belle Henna as well so u can come over to the booth if you are looking for Henna, Gubahan Hantaran, Sireh Dara & Bunga Rampai as well okie!
Be a gem, help me to spread the word can?
xie xie ni.
Ok i know how some of you BTB really wish you guys can get away with spending $$ for your Bunga Pahar / Sireh Dara cos you don’t see why there is a need to have one but unfortunately, our mother and makcik2 seems to think otherwise.
So, i need to do some sort of a short survey and i realllly hope u guys can help me with because ni antara hidup dengan mati.
One of my travelling habits, if i’m staying in a country for more than 3 days, i like to switch hotels. Just because i get bored with a place (which is not home very easily). In fact, i get bored of everything quite easily actually. Including people. Excluding my loved ones. hahaha. ok i’m so mean.
Anywaaay, we moved on to the quieter part of Krabi. The Klong Muang area. Practical if i say, where all the atas2 resorts like Sheratons are because the place spells serenity! It is very very ulu, about 40mins away from Ao Nang and Krabi Town.
But that is just perfect!
I got to know about this resort through Elzii when she posted it on her Instagram during her recent Krabi trip and i Instantly fell in love with the place.
Continuing from the previous post, i have never thought what i eat and don’t eat, what i do and don’t do could affect my womb.
I have been seeing a Traditional Chinese Doctor (Sinseh) ever since my colleague got pregnant from eating her meds. Her meds was able to make me ovulate earlier but, because i tak biasa makan ni herba2 entah apa tah.. i had a hard time drinking it. Macam nak muntah ok! Cos rasa dia pahit gila lah.
The sinseh checked my pulse and mentioned that i have a cold womb which is not conducive for conceiving. Which is kinda true cos between me and my husband, i get cold really easily. But then again, laki aku jenis polar bear. Duduk bawah aircon pun dia tak rasa apa. So the sinseh told me what to refrain from eating/drinking:
Day 2 of Krabi was spent Island Hopping!
Read about Day 1 here.
Before i go on, just a tip if you are visiting Krabi.
Go get a Prepaid SIM card from the 7-11. It is so so worth it. I can’t remember how much i got it for but it was less than S$10.00 and it lasted me for 5 days and 3G is charged daily at a small fee and is unlimited.
I find having 3G is really useful cos the other time, i wanted to find out the Spa contact no, it was just easier to google for it and call them straight from your Thai no. This is what i usually do when i travel.
So anyway, on Day 1, we actually managed to book a Private longtail Boat for island hopping. Based on our past experience island hopping during our trip in Phuket, we hated the Speedboats that the Tour Agencies offer because they are always cramped with so many people and when they stop at a certain place, it will be at a crowded place and they will give you a strict timing to follow. eg only 1 hour at this island and honestly, 1hour is not enough and i hate going to places yang banyak sangat tourist. So i told my husband we will splurge a bit and just take a private long-tail boat for the 2 of us.
That was the best decision we made in Krabi.
We paid only 2,000 baht (S$80.00) for that private Longtail Boat and i felt it was so worth it! Cos in Krabi, i bump into my ex-schoolmate and she mentioned she’s joining a tour agency on a speedboat and they paid 1500 baht (S$60.00) per person. That was what i paid in Phuket as well.
yes, a speedboat is faster than the longtail boat but.. we are on a holiday and we can take our sweet time if we want! So a private long tail boat it is!
Our hotel include this in every room which i thought was a very thoughtful gesture. A beach straw bag with beach towels.
We waited at the hotel lobby for someone to pick us up to the Ao Nang Pier to our Longtail Boat.
After our Bali trip in October last year, i knew i wanted another Beach Destination and Tiger Airways came up with a Promotion somewhere before Christmas so we grabbed the promo and paid less than $300.00 for 2 pax to Krabi.
Bearing in mind that April is not a low season, it was definitely a great deal.
We arrived Krabi at about 12.20pm and checked in to Mercure Krabi Deevana.
We love that it is at Ao Nang but not very near to the busy streets and tuk tuks are always available to bring us to the walking street which is about 5mins away and cost 40 baht (S$1.60) only.
the front desk had these really nice birdcage deco on the wall.
I met this girl at the Daun D’co Wedding Showcase.
She was so soft-spoken, i could barely hear what she’s talking about.
Rizal came lugging a paper bag from either the Royal Sporting House Sale or the Adidas Sale. I can’t remember the exact sale but i remembered that look Rina gave me when i asked her where were they from. hahahaha
Thereafter, she will randomly email me designs she love and i keep telling her “nanti nearer to the date you mesti change your mind”
Last March, we celebrated 3 birthdays in the family.
my 2nd sister, the 3rd sister and the Mother.
So, triple celebrations it is!
This time round, we held it at Aloha Changi Chalet L.
Huge place but not as creepy as Chalet J, where i held my 25th Birthday party at, 5 years ago. (now that kind of seem ages ago.)
I’m 2 weeks away from my last day of work here and i can’t wait to throw in the towel already.
I have decided to be a work-at-home-wife, diverting my time and energy to The Card Maison (and my husband of course) like finalllyyyyyyy…
Business was awesome for 2012 and 2013 is gonna be even much more awesome as i had few things lined up and i can’t wait to do it full force.
But of course i had some what ifs and it is especially not helpful when the people around you are contributing to the what ifs list, like it’s a conspiracy to stop me from leaving.
What if i get bored from working at home?
cos apart from my bestie, Liza, everyone else i know works office hours.
What if i get bored being alone at home?
but u know i’ll always have E! Entertainment! lol
What if i’m not bringing in much moolah?
there’s never gonna be enough seriously.
I know i have many other what-ifs in my head now but i’m not looking back.
i’m sure this is the best decision i have made for myself.
Things will work out. I’ll make sure it does.
even if i have to work extra hard for this.
On another note, i just got back from Krabi and i loved it so much!
It is so different from Phuket. Will update on Krabi soon but here’s a teaser!
