treat points

I have been using my personal credit card for almost 3 years now. And I didn't know that they have POINTS that can be redeemed!! *slapsface*


I knew that I have points when I shopped in One Utama late last year, and the cashier asked if I would like to redeem my points. My heart jumped gleefully as I needed to pay few bucks instead of few hundreds.. I USED ALL OF MY POINTS @ Warehouse, OneUtama not knowing there are other cool stuffs to redeem !! oh gosh........ 


So few months back, I login to Maybank2u.com.my , checked my balance and I saw the points !!!!! How on earth did I not realize the points marked blue on the screen of my balance =( oh-my-god.. 


I clicked onto it and they redirected me to treatpoints page. 


There were so so so many amazing things that can be redeemed !! I got blind for a while. But my points were too little then.


The genius me, as always, had ideas to increase my points. So what I do was to SWIPE intelligently ! 


Intelligently by all means were to swipe as many times but not having much credit on the card !


HOW?


by swiping credit card and then login m2u later at night after done with shopping and pay what I swiped immediately (on the day itself) . 


Or if I want to buy something which requires a huge sum of money, I deposit the big sum into my creditcard via ATM cash deposit machine , and went to the shop and swiped that amount. VOILA !


see the point?


oh well, I don't know if it works but my points seemed to increase :) been monitoring them since I was AWARE of the points .. pfftt!




Now my points are 30k.. I need 76K points ! Something caught my eye and I need 76K points to redeem "IT" !!!! will share it here once I have succeed ! wish me luck?


Moral of the story, please check your m2u creditcard points and use them WISELY.. 

journey to becoming a bride

a bride to be needs to prepare physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually before the big day. And my maids seemed to play important role too !

One of them used to scrub or what the indonesian called 'lulur' me. She is pretty amazing. I used to do 2 days once but lately, NONE! since I woke up extremely late and she has other important work to do than scrubbing me ... thanks bibik ! pfft

She also advised me to drink sireh.. *pukeface* ... sireh???really?? 

and another maid this morning while cleaning asked me to drink air pinang muda.. -_- 

Just few minutes ago after the maid suggested air pinang muda, my mom informed me that all kind of limes are downstairs. limau kasturi la. limau lipis la.. i guess i'm gonna soaked my whole body with those later this evening.. 

don't come near me this evening. I might turned you ehem on with the lime smell  ! *batting eyelashes* 

shopping-craze..NOT!

There's a BIG FAT SALE going on at AirAsia.. tempting....................
But my pocket ain't full to grab them ... *sadface*


"neehhh it's ok. They have promotions almost every month. plus, it's AIRASIA.. not EMIRATES or MAS " . Monologued to make myself feel good .. haha!


Money flows like water these days especially when the big day is coming really near. I felt guilty for the cash burden I've put my parents into. And I always tell them that I'll pay them when I'm rich *insyaAllah*.. and that the wedding is for their beloved daughter .. *grins* I will never ever survive without them. No kidding. I love you mom & dad


Shopping seemed pretty tempting these days too !! gosh, can't the devil stay quiet so that I'll be an angel till I receive my first pay? 


I was born genius and so I've found my way out. 


1st. : Always go to shops which are not too pricey but worth buying. My favourite place nowadays were 'cotton on', 'forever 21' and flee-market @thecurve during the weekends. Too pricey are those below rm100.. or buy 1 get 1 free kinda thing.


2nd. : Always have only few cash in your purse. Probably RM100 ... So that you'll be lazy to go to the ATM.. but, hmmmmmm credit and debit card always got into the way.. darn!


3rd : Always go shopping with someone who is shopping craze.. Not that they'll influence you but you will influence her ! Channel your craze to her so that she buy stuffs.. and help her choose !! it feels good when your pocket still full and hers/his is empty.. *evilgrin*


4th : If you are doing online shopping,go busy elsewhere,  far far away from the laptop/pc after checking out the items chose . You might have forgotten about the cart you'd checked out. 


5th : patience... Good stuff comes to those who waits !


hope these few tips help ! 

lazy-bride-to-be

I love night. The only time where I get THE time all by myself. No disturbance.... except when Ewanina talks in her sleep. pfft

I watched series. Read blogs. Wrote blog.. writing one now. But most of the time, I watched series. Bit lazy to do any readings at night. My sleeping time is 3am and woke up usually about 10am.. :-s YIKES!

OKAYYY DO.NOT.SAY.ANYTHING.

My mom nagged massively regarding this.

"you're getting married soon!!!"

"you should start practicing to wake up early !"

and yada yada yada...

and since I watched movies/series everynight, my youngest sister, Ellyssa followed my footsteps. 

We slept late and we woke up LATE. but she woke up even LATER.. hfffmmm..

and then she went, 

"SEE , you'd influenced your sister!"

Now , Ellyssa cannot sleep before watching atleast one movie.. Her night rituals were to watch 'How to train a dragon' & 'The Tangled,Rapunzel'.. And I had to watched with her till she sleeps before watching MY SERIES/MOVIES.. *sigh*

I enjoyed being "spoilt".. WHEN ELSE WILL I ENJOY THIS? definitely not, especially once start working. 

well, here are few friendly advice from lazy-bride-to-be. 

To all ladies who are getting married soon, ENJOY !!! 

enjoy the bed ALL BY YOURSELF. enjoy the time ALL BY YOURSELF. enjoy being lazy and smelly. enjoy sleep-overs with girlfriends! (ohh, i've been doing this often ! almost every weekend !!) 

and most importantly, do enjoy all the time you have left with your family. you will still see them, hang out with them, spend time with them but you will not be the kiddish,immature,loud-YOU with your family once married, will u? shall put-up a lil "mature"-act then? he he he! 

ENJOY GIRLS! cause I'm enjoying MY TIME.. watching series now !!! daaa~ 

where are you staying..

after marriage is another famous question these days.. 

Initially, I thought of staying at my parent's place for maybe a year. My mom suggested 2 years minimum as she is not ready to let me go yet. *weep*

Ijul & I discussed thoroughly , ..... 

neh, I do all the thinking thou and I would tell him what I feel and he would say what he feels but eventually he would agrees to what I decide. 

Being the first daughter in the family, and a sister to the siblings, especially the last two since they are still small , Ijul respected my decision. As long as some of the days at his parent's place too. 

So we decided weekdays my place, weekends his.. 

and then we decided 4 days here, 3 days there..

and then we decided some days here and some days there...

For some reason, I feel it is difficult to stay permanently at parent's place. My work is haywire, his work is also tangled-wire, and staying at parent's place would be too comfortable and I would be too dependent. Food is there. Maid will help to do all the washings cleanings etcetera. 

My house where I live currently, there is noway-hozay to privacy. Everybody just enters everybody's room. We all 'lepak' in each others room. My parents room will be packed with kids lazing around on the bed with dad and mom would be on the computer or prolly on the bed too during day-time. At night, my room will be packed. 

Oh tell me about talking to the phone at night in my room ... IM-POSS-SI-BLE !! seriously. All the noise they made, the fights they had and all will be shouting for my name so that I will end the fight. 

-____________-

I wouldn't be surprised if the smallest sister would knock on my our door at night, "Kak E, can I sleep together?" 

-______________-

yeah, the three of us sleep together everynight. Ellyssa (the smallest one), Ewanina (2nd last) and I.. 

Back to the question.. 

Honestly speaking , I really don't know how to answer. So when people asked, I would say ..."well, both places and then his place in KL" 

The parent's old-house where the family stays previously is his now. He stays there during the weekdays since it is very near to the office. 

For now, we have decided to stay my place after marriage. His parent's place few days before groom-side reception and then probably few days here and there and there. 

Maybe we will settle down to one place once I have start working. Hoping to get hospital nearby his place in KL , so then it would be easier for the both of us to meet under one roof .. 

Parents place? Well, both of them stay 15 minutes away. As long as we are fair to each other..  Except for when I horribly missing them, that he has to sacrifice =p my place XD hehe!!

oh wow, serious decision making huh ? 

deferring

I'd crushed my sister's dream in my previous post hence I deleted it. Aww sis, Didn't mean to hurt u :P

I've received my induction letter last week to attend induction course held on 3rd may (today) till 6th May. I appealed to defer.

I was pretty tight up with wedding preparations and catching up with friends last week and only come to realize that I need to follow up ! and I only realized that on Friday NOON!

I rushed to call them but it wasn't easy that day.

and monday was a public holiday! bummed !

Just few minutes ago, I called ministry of health again to double check, because the previous officer that I talked to on Friday was a lil stingy and strict and made me feel extremely horrible for postponing. The officer allows and asked me to call again once I'm ready to attend.

phew ! A HUGE relieved ! The thought of not been able to postpone tortured me through out my weekend.

To all my colleagues , Good Luck on attending induction course and all the best pursuing work as a Doctor !! So excited for all of you !! I wished I could join you all today! I'll see you in one of the hospitals hopefully. Hoping for some tips later ya ? Take care & keep in touch !
