How much do I have to spend in order for me to understand the lesson?

 

There was a charity drive at my workplace earlier this year and I donated 3 bags of new (very new) clothes. While I was going through my wardrobe, I came to realisation that I have spent alot buying clothes which I don't really wear. 

Honestly, it's really a total waste of my hard earned money. I know no use crying over spilt milk. That kind of money saved if I hadn't been buying could pay for years of household expenses. I'm as guilty as charged or without even need to be charged.

These few months when i didn't get to go out at all..I discovered the beauty of 'staying home'. When the eyes don't see, the head and heart won't influence me to buy. Now, I'm leaning towards having fewer things and keeping those that matters and those that I will really use / wear. After all I only got 1 body that can wear a set of clothes at a time...so why need so many clothes? My old self wouldn't understand this but my new self is beginning to understand a little more each day.

kitchen say 'organise me'

Everyday when I step into my kitchen, I hear a nagging 'please organise me'. Actually I myself also have the same feeling and the same nagging inside my heart too. So beginning of the year, I looked online and ordered this trolley which cost me less than 40 bucks and start organising some of the items in my kitchen.

It is far from finish and after so many moons, it is still unfinished business...poor kitchen...

but at least 1 small portion of it got sorted ... small win 

overnight soak oats

This has got to be one of my favourite combi for overnight soak oat. With raspberries, matcha, coconut shreds, chia seeds ... heavenly and my go-to comfort food.

 

green green plants

Nothing beat green green plants as stress relief. It is relaxing to see plants growing and thriving each day. It is resilient and patience and stay rooted no matter what. Gardening and growing plants got to be one of the most fulfilling hobby for me. I've been wanting to cultivate the same in my children but they seem to be more interested in some other things though. 

Nevertheless, I'm thankful dear still allow me to keep our garden at home. Upon my recovery, I'll be making effort to turn it into a wonderful garden haven. Wish me luck! eventhough I've been trying for long time but I will not give up. I'll try and try and try again.

 

KL Library ... the coolest place to be in town

Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur @ KL Library is situated right next to Dataran Merdeka

This is the entrance. The library will be closed on Monday and public holidays.

The range of books are good. Managed to find some latest books in the market in the library collection. 

 This is one of my many favourite section. Kudos and a big thank you to DBKL for providing and maintaining such a superb library in town. 

Let's revive the reading culture in our families, our younger generations, our communities...one visit at a time...one book at a time.

 

Useful mini oven

Got this precious useful oven around Chinese New Year (CNY 2025) for less than 100. It's a great great deal from Lotus. 

We've got a smaller one before we upgraded to this, at least we can now make potato wedges in 2 batch, rather than 3-4 batch previously.

Prefer this conventional oven as compared to microwave oven...somehow it makes the food tastier .... haha I feel lah

Now that it is more than 6 months old...my vow is to use it to make more tasty stuff for family to at. Time to explore and try out new dishes
