THINGS TO HELP YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING - PRACTICAL TIPS

I used to hate waking up early in the morning. Living here in Singapore, we kinda have no choice. Even as preschoolers, class starts at 8am. Even so when I was still in my teens, I still can stay up all night and sleep all day on weekends.

However, since I became a mum, there is no such thing. When I was still a working mum, I could still rest if I was unwell or wanted to sleep because I cold easily put my child under my parents' , in-laws or hubby's care but now that I'm a SAHM, I'm kind of expected to do things on my own.

So I had to help myself be happier on mornings. Even gloomy, stay-in-bed kinda mornings. These are things that worked for me.


1) WHY

This is the most important point for me. I had to revisit this point almost all the time. Why. I've heard that why-power is way more powerful and useful than willpower and I sincerely believe that.

Why do I need to wake up early? Why are mornings so important? Before you sleep at night, take time to set goals for the next day. Daily goals always work and it makes you feel more productive and accomplished at the end of each day.

Your goals doesn't have to be in the form of chores but rather things that you want to do or get done. For example, fold laundry, try the new drink from a cafe or even watching the latest episode of your favourite drama. Things that makes you feel happy will help you get up a happier person in the morning.



2) SLEEP

Sleep. Seriously, sleep. Our body needs rest. As we grow older, we tend to overthink and our minds work eventhough our eyes are closed. A method that worked for me was to place my phone away from me. If I can't reach it, I won't use it. That doesn't mean you can't look stalk your favourite instagrammer or play your favourite game. You need to limit your screen time by giving yourself a bed time. Let's say, at 11pm, place your phone aside, beyond reach and just close your eyes. It was kind of hard at first but it gets easier over time and you feel well rested in the morning.



3) DON'T RUSH

I hate morning rush. For the longest time, I had to rush every morning just so I could get that extra 10 minutes of sleep. Prepare things you need the night before. Lay out your clothes, shoes, watch and bag. Minimize planning of things in the morning. It will just exhaust you. If you are into meal prepping for the week, that is even better. You can just grab your prepared food and heat them up.



4) FOOD

Looking forward to breakfast is one of the things that gets me up. Plan ahead, probably the night before, on what kind of breakfast you want. If it's something you like, you would most likely get excited and look forward to breakfast.



5) ELIMINATE COMFORT

Lastly, this is a very practical yet slightly cruel method. When I hear my alarm, I will turn off the fan/aircon (it is really warm and humid in Singapore) and roll up the blinds to brighten the room. After 5 minutes, everyone including yourself will be forced to get up (angrily and feeling irritated) as the room is too warm and bright for sleeping in. Works every single time.



If all else fails, get yourself a baby. You will forget the meaning of sleep. Just kidding. Hope these tips will help you as much as they helped me!

POSITIVE THINKING IN PREGNANCY

How to be happy during pregnancy? You know how people say that pregnancy is a gift and you will glow? How it's magical and wonderful? Well guess what?

It's filled with smelly hot oil, vomit, nausea, groaning from back pain, grumbling from dropping things but unable to reach it, losing your keys, losing your phone, forgetting to pack lunch for your child, mood swings, tears, constipation, diarrhea, hunger pangs, leg cramps anytime anywhere, Braxton hicks, light headed when you are crossing the street and many many more.

People always say that pregnancy is a gift. No one tells us that its a gamble. Then again, everything in life is.

It's not easy to be positive and stay positive throughout your pregnancy. I for one am not positive for the whole journey. I have my bitch fit moments and I will ensure you that everyone will. However, I will never fail to tell myself to try and be positive towards pregnancy and these are some tips on how I convinced myself.

1) I AM BLESSED

Be grateful. This is the first thought that should appear. Once you are grateful, everything else will fall in place. Sure, pregnancy might not put you in the best of moods but think of all our sisters who have been trying for years to conceive. Think of our sisters who lost their babies. Think of all our sisters who are sick with life threatening cases while juggling the health of their babies. Think of all our sisters who experienced numerous miscarriages. Think of all our sisters who had to terminate their pregnancy due to health issues. (you can read about my experience here)

I am blessed to be able to carry this baby to full term healthily.

2) TAKE IT EASY

Take it one step at a time. Work might be pinning you down but remember that your health matters most. Take time off work if that is what you need. Take a step back and breathe. You might not see it yet but your life is going to change forever. Your heart will swell(in a good way) in ways that you never imagine it could. So, take a breather, go for a walk, take more naps, enjoy the journey.

3) STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE ENERGY

This is an important one. Steer yourself clear from any negative things. Be it a TV show, a video, someone from work, your friends, the environment, anything that exudes a negative energy, stay clear. If the things make you feel lower than you should, it's toxic. You shouldn't have to watch or listen to anything that you don't want to.

4) JOURNAL / DIARY

Keep a journal or a diary throughout your journey. Every pregnancy is different. This is my third one and I'm still learning new things every single time. I keep my ultrasound print outs and I take pictures of my tummy every month. It will be nice to look back on and I'm very sure your child would want to see it too in the future. I know Adam does. When I show him pictures of me looking like a whale with him in my tummy, he would ask, "Where's Adam?" Then you can bond over your stories of your journey carrying your precious child. If that doesn't spark your interest, then use those pregnancy pictures  as a drive to get back to your pre pregnancy weight.

5) MEDITATION

This can come in any form. It's about the focus in one's mind for a period of time. I try to practice simple yoga. To be honest, just some stretching and the really easy ones. I meditate by just crossing my legs and pillows propped up behind me(or you can sit on a comfy chair/sofa). I close my eyes and regulate my breathing, one hand on my heart and the other on my belly. The thought of air traveling through my body and to my baby warms my heart. I have someone relying on me and I am doing well to support it. That 10-15 minutes really relaxes me and I look forward to it every single day. You can do whatever works for you.



These are the things that work for for me when I'm having a bad preggo moment. Of course, we are not robots and we are allowed outbursts. In fact, I feel that it is healthy to express once in a while but positive thinking starts with you.  You can't depend one someone to find it for you. Lastly, be happy and enjoy the journey!

Go to the movies, hang out with friends, binge watch your favourite shows because soon, you will have a tiny being to care for and your priorities will change. That will be a whole new journey and post.

Love,

10 TIPS TO SURVIVE FINANCIALLY AS A STAY AT HOME MOM

This is my third year as a stay at home mum and thank God we are still coping and surviving. It wasn't easy then and it still isn't now. It takes work and effort to survive on one income here in Singapore. I could easily go back to teaching but truth be told, whatever I earn will be spent on childcare centre fees. So my role for now, stay at home mum it is.

I get asked this kind of question a lot. How do I manage? I have a house yet I can still afford to stay home? Do we even have money to eat daily? How are we able to save, pay the bills and insurance at the end of the day?

I'm not an expert and I sometimes spend more than I should. I'm still learning and bless you if you have any additional tips for me but for now, here are the things that worked for us.

1) STAY AT HOME

Literally stay at home. If you go out, you are sure to spend. You go to a shopping mall, you will see shops and pretty things. I've read of certain methods you can use to avoid buying things you don't need. For instance, you see a mug that you like. You can snap a picture of it and walk away. If you don't revisit the picture or forget about it, that means you don't need it. That method does not work for me at all! If i see something I like, regardless of whether I need it or not, I will not stop thinking about it until I get it. So staying at home is the best option for me. I don't see it, I don't think about it, I don't spend.

Here in Singapore, a cheap meal can easily cost you $5 per person. With that $5, you can get fresh chicken from the supermarket and cook for the whole family. Of course I do believe that as a SAHM, we do need our time outside. Maybe once a week? Spend your weekend out with the family. That leads me to my next point.

2) FREE ACTIVITIES

Call us cheapskate but we got to do what we got to do. Even if we do go out as a family, we would find places that are family friendly and most importantly, free. For example, Adam loves playing at the beach. We would prepare simple food, bring all of his sand toys and spend our time at the beach. Or we would head over to Changi Airport where they have playground and areas for children. Usually we will treat ourselves with drinks from Coffee Bean or something like that to help congratulate ourselves for making it through the week. If all else fails, head to the library. Its clean, nice and relaxing.

3) USED ITEMS

Buy preloved or embrace hand-me-downs. Be it for things or clothes. We rarely buy clothes for Adam as they are usually gifts or hand me downs. We shift our furnitures around the house where we see fit. For example, our once bedside table is now in the storage area holding all our documents as we don't really need a bedside table anymore. Or our Kallax clothes storage is now being used in the kitchen as a juice bar(where we make our juice everyday). As much as you are receiving, don't every forget to give back to the society. Clothes or things that you don't use or need anymore can always find a better home elsewhere.

4) VOUCHERS AND REBATES

Who doesn't love vouchers? Everyone does. We keep vouchers very very properly and make plans around them. We especially enjoy movie vouchers. For rebates, there are some credit card companies that gives you back a percentage of money according to how much you spend at the end of the year. We have several for us so we do our grocery shopping with those cards and we receive money for it at the end of the year. How awesome is that?

5) DON'T WASTE FOOD

This is something Wan despises. He can eat any leftover straight from the fridge just because he doesn't like food wastage. So if I were to cook, I would make sure I would cook just enough for that day unless I'm meal prepping for the week. This really saves us a lot as we don't overbuy our veggies and produce. If we receive dishes from either our parents, we would freeze them if we know we can't finish it in the next day or two. That way, we can take them out and reheat as and when needed.

6) CREDIT CARDS

This is really a scary topic. I have seen people first hand suffering from credit card debts and it was horrible. Unless we are sure that we can pay the full amount when the bills come, we don't use credit cards. We have a day of the month where we sit and pay off all our bills. We have an excel sheet where we document our monthly bills and expenses. That way, we are able to track and make plans to reduce or cut off what we don't need in the upcoming months.

7) UNSUBSCRIBE

This was really painful for me in the beginning. I used to just buy what I want online without much thought. The feeling of parcels on my doorstep excite me. Since I'm a SAHM, I unsubscribed to mailing lists and Youtube channels that encourages me to buy stuff I don't need. So far, this has worked wonders for me although I'm only human and at times I would succumb to those temptations. Told you I'm still learning and need help. Help me.

8) MAKE A LIST

Since I'm at home most of the time, the list usually comes from me. Every week, I would make a list of the things we need for the upcoming week. Be it groceries, for us or something for the house. Wan would scan through the list and we would discuss if we really need those things or can we hold it off for now. This helped us a lot in decision making as it won't be on an impulse and we will only end up getting what we really need. Shopping lists are important too. That way, your trip would be focused and you won't buy things unnecessarily. Then again, I avoid going to the supermarket and get Wan to do it instead. I usually will see things I think I might need or something to satisfy my sweet and at times salty tooth. Wan does a great job at just grabbing things from the list. So, bottomline, Wan does the marketing for our household.

9) BUY IN BULK

For certain things, they are cheaper in bulk. Get them. Sometimes, tissue rolls sells cheaper in packs of threes. Same goes for Adam's diapers. Things that don't perish or expire, we do take advantage of their prices in bulk. My mother in law buys almost everything (I'm talking about shampoos, hand soaps, sanitary pads, tissue boxes and the list goes on) in bulk and saves alot!

10) HAVE INSURANCE

I cannot stress the importance of this point. I've been in and out of the hospital and let me tell you, the money we put aside monthly for insurance has helped us loads. It helped us pay thousands of dollars on hospital bills. Thousands. So do check out which insurance is important for you do put aside money for them. Another matter that comes to mind is CDA. Child Development Account. Here in Singapore, every child is given 1:1 (you put in $500 and the government will match it with another $500) when they deposit  their money capped at a few thousand dollars. Please make use of it. When I was still teaching, some parents don't even use it for their school fees which is such a waste. The card can be used for school fees and also medical for children aged six and below. We deposited money in to match the cap and we are currently using it for Adam's school fees and medical expenses. I feel it is another form of insurance although not directly but it did help us for those expensive pediatrician sessions for Adam.


With all these pointers in place, you can easily save hundreds each month. I hope that my post will help you better manage your finances. It is important to be thrifty but don't forget to reward yourself every once in a while because you deserve it.

HOW TO REPURPOSE BOOKCASES IN SMALL APARTMENTS

Let's be honest. Cost of living here in Singapore is no joke. More so if you are a SAHM. It's my third year staying at home and there's nothing funny about throwing out things that you can reuse (not to mention your husband going crazy pulling out his own hair). So for this post, I'm going to share what I did to solve my shoe-valanches.

If you are going to throw out a bookcase or bookshelf, you might want to think twice. In my case, I used it for my shoes. This bookcase was from Ikea's Billy series. It is sturdy and the height of the shelves are adjustable. Knowing me, I loved that fact because I'm hella fickle.

As you can see, we adjusted most of the shelves to the same height; perfect for shoes. However, the one that is roughly at our eye level, we increased the distance from the previous shelf. We needed a space to drop our keys and it was the perfect area for us, right by our door. Another plus point would be that only four pairs can fit on one shelf (five to six pairs for children). That simply means you won't buy what you don't need. The number of shoes we buy is controllable and kept at bay because of that.

I love how it turned out and we've had this for about four years now. It is still holding on strong and it is still as practical as ever. One downside is that it is not covered and it is facing our kitchen(we live kinda near the beach so the wind that we get is strong and at times very dusty) so it gets dusty really quickly. Other than that, it works well for us. It's convenient for Adam to take and keep his shoes everyday too.

Another day another hack,

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AFTER PREGNANCY

Now you have gone through the worse pain your body could ever take AKA labour, you start thinking about losing all the pregnancy weight. Let's not even talk about our pregnancy 'battle scars' here. Although you may feel like achieving your pre pregnancy weight is abit of a stretch, it's possible. I used to have lots of burning questions, I still do now. Is there a best way to lose weight? How to lose belly fat? What's the fastest way to lose weight? How to lose weight naturally?

I'm no expert but I've been through it twice and gained almost 20kg during pregnancy. I'm still far(waaaaaaaaay far) from my ideal body but I'm back to my pre pregnancy weight(fitness level aside though, lol). The tips below were what worked for me and I'm simply sharing the love.


1) SET A GOAL
A realistic one. Give yourself time to heal. I was a total zombie for quite a period of time after delivery, even longer for my first one since it was a cesarean(it took me a year to get back to my pre pregnancy weight,*gasp*). It's ok to zombify, you deserve it. Also, you might want to check with your doctor if the exercises or diets you are planning are safe for you. Start small and slow, you will get there.



2) SUPER FOODS
I think this is really important. Stay away from what is bad for you. I mean, you did well doing that for the whole of nine months. What's a few more months right? Stock up on veggies, fish and healthy snacks. They will keep you feeling full longer. I have a sweet tooth myself and I stocked up on fruits and raisins. Naturally I'm a soup and veggie person so it wasn't really a challenge but if you are not, start small. If you really can't control your cravings(err, me), maybe get a really small portion of it just so you won't salivate while you sleep at night.



3) WATCH YOUR PORTIONS
This is another one that I live by. Instead of three big portions a day, cut them down to six small portions. This is really works wonders and you will notice that you don't snack as much as you don't feel hungry in between meals.



4) DRINK LOTS OF WATER
I had to learn the hard way for this one. I thought that my tummy was bloated enough without drinking lots of water so why should I. Boy, was I wrong. They found very high amount of white blood cells and bacteria in my urine a few months after my second delivery. I wasn't given any antibiotics as it wasn't diagnosed as Urinary Tract Infection. The doctor just told me to drink lots of water. I drank like crazy. I made sure I drank at least one litre by 12pm and another litre by 6pm. So by 6pm, I must have 2 litres of water down. Any amount I drank after that was considered bonus. After two weeks of doing that, my white blood cells level went back to normal and urine was clear.
So please drink eventhough you feel like throwing up. Drink!



5) GET MOVING
I know this is hard to do. Really, really hard. Good news is, you don't have to go all out. Chances are, you will lose weight slowly when you have to go back to work. What worked for me was walking. I'm not a gym person although I secretly wish I am. In the morning(you will be up for feeding anyway, so win win), put your baby in a stroller and just walk around your neighbourhood. 30 minutes each time, maybe three times a week. Check with your doctor on what and when is safe for you to exercise.



6) SLEEP
I know, what the hell am I talking about? What sleep? I'm talking about naps. There is no way that you can get a full night's sleep. So in the day, when your baby naps, you nap too. Your house looks worse than the rubbish chute in your neighbourhood? Let it rot. It's ok. Get your sleep. That is the only way your metabolism won't be affected and your weight loss process won't be slowed down.



7) LOVE YOURSELF
I know this is easier said than done when you see saggy tummy and cellulite in the mirror everyday. You carried a baby for nine months and brought the baby out to this world(normal or cesarean). You did an amazing thing. You deserve all the awards in this world and you should be proud of yourself. It took me quite some time to realise that. Love yourself because if you don't, nobody else will.



8)ASK FOR HELP
If everything fails, get help. I too thought that I could manage things on my own. Little did I know I was only breaking my self esteem. It took me some time to get help from my mum and mother in law to look after my baby just so I could sleep, eat or feel like a normal person. Losing weight might be your ultimate goal after giving birth but you need to do it the right way, without hurting your health.



Be patient and stay motivated! I hope these tips will help you through your weight loss journey. Kiss and hug your baby a little more today!

Love,
Ja

8 THINGS NOT TO SAY TO A STAY-AT-HOME MUM

Let's be real. We are staying in Singapore. Cost of living here is high. The majority of people my age are working their asses off. Both spouses have to work to maintain an average lifestyle here in Singapore. People I meet usually ask me what am I working as right now and I would tell them I'm a SAHM. I can assure you they would look at me all weird or they would sincerely ask me how to be a stay at home mum. It's unnatural for someone my age here in Singapore to not work. It is really sad that it has come to that. I know many of my friends who would kill to stay home with their children. I just wished the world would be a less savage place where we could do what we want.

Things we need to pay for generally:

- housing (bills and loans which are not cheap)
- childcare (diapers, school and milk; which may cost thousands per month),
- daily expenses (cost of food here varies depending on your location)
- transportation(which I seriously sincerely hate so so much because of the crowd and my motion sickness)
- savings(we are bound to fall sick or get into some kind of trouble so we need savings for rainy days and medical cost here is no joke)


1)WOW! What do you do all day?
I've had people ask me this and I immediately felt my heart burning. I wanted to knock that person's teeth off. You try and stay home with children and see if you can do a decent job.


2)You wouldn't know how tired I am since you stay at home.
This is something I would definitely react to. I've experienced working(teaching 20 children below the age of 4 for the whole day and coming back home to a toddler is no freaking joke. Hats off to all Early Childhood Educators)and also being a stay home mum and let me tell you this, both has its own set of challenges.


3)You're very free right? Can you help me...
I don't know when I'm free. I'm only free because I managed my time well and you can do that too.


4)You must be well rested!
Ha Ha Ha. When I was working and I fell sick, I can stay home and rest. If I have a child, I can just continue to send him to his child care centre so I can get some rest. But now that I am a SAHM, even when I'm sick, I still have to do my job because I have no choice. My child is with me all the time and you have no one else.


5)So when your kids are in school, what do you do?
I'm not even gonna start on this one. you have to truly experience SAHM life to believe me on this one.


6)Your husband must be rich!
Thanks for your well wishes.


7)Will you ever go back to work?
I'm literally working my ass off right now but I'm not paid like you are.


8)Such a waste of your education certs!
Right? But see, being a SAHM requires skills too.

Whatever it is, we have all made sacrifices as parents and that's what matters.

EASY CRAFTS FOR KIDS - TROLLS THE MOVIE; PRINCESS POPPY, BRANCH, SMIDGE AND CREEK

We are all guilty as mums. For one thing or another. I should be doing more crafts with Adam. This was one of the craft we did not too long ago. Adam was so into Trolls the movie that we watched it every single day. Yes. Every single day.


ITEMS NEEDED:

Tissue rolls
Scissors
Paint
Marker/Colour pencils

STEPS:

1) Select which character(s) you wish to create
2) Cut the tissue roll to the desired length(I had the long tissue roll on hand so I cut it in half)
3) Paint accordingly (You can always Google the images)
4) Let it dry
5) Cut the top part into strips for the hair
6) Use your handy dandy marker or colour pencils to draw the facial features
7) Be proud of your work


That's all there is to it! So easy and quick! Adam enjoyed the process more than the end product. Try it!

Looked at the mess we created while I reminded myself to embrace motherhood,

HOW TO PREPARE MY TODDLER TO SELF FEED AND WRITE - FINE MOTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

This post contains an affiliate link. I am given a small percentage if you purchase a product through the link at no extra cost to you. All opinions are 100% my own.

Well, I don't know if there is a correct and sure to succeed method. However, there are many ways we can help them learn to feed themselves. Firstly, they need to strengthen their finger muscles. They need to have a good and proper grip. Then comes the motion. Same goes for gripping a pencil as well as writing. 

To encourage them to improve their finger muscles, there are numerous fine motor skills activities they can do. Numerous simple activities(that won't  make mummies faint from the mess). A gentle reminder, all activities need to be supervised.

1) Tearing

So from now on, put that shredder away. Letters to discard? Get your toddlers to tear them all. A little tip; off all the fans around you to avoid going crazy at the end of the activity.

Follow up:

If they have mastered tearing, you might want to give them a pair of safety scissors(the ones with plastic blades so they can practice the motion)

2) Play Dough
There are of course commercial ones like Playdoh where you can just grab off the shelves. Or, you can make edible ones in any case your toddlers decide to have a taste test during the activity. Activities that surrounds play doughs are endless. You can use cookie cutters, bottle caps, ice cream sticks and many many more!

3) Pegging
You know those small clothes pegs that you have lying around? Yup, those. Take small bowls and enough small pegs and shoe your toddlers how to peg around the rim of the bowl. It's a simple but you might be surprised that some toddlers have difficulties pegging initially. Over time, they become masters of pegging. Pegs will be your new fashion accessory.

4) Pompoms
This is personally my favourite. You can find normal sized pompoms like Adam's or those jumbo sized ones. You need bowls and small spoons. Get your toddlers to transfer from one bowl to another using the spoon. You may even use egg trays. When they are experts, get them to transfer using tongs. Of course, get those small cute plastic tongs for them and not those huge BBQ ones. Even I would have trouble using those.

5) Bubble wrap
This is the easiest one! Just get your little one to pop them! If they have not reached out for it first that is. They will love it! At the same time, they exercise their finger muscles(and no mess!). Win win!

6)Washi tapes
Let's get fancy and use washi tapes! Anyone who knows me will know that I have a problem. I go crazy over unnecessary stationaries, like washi tapes. Don't act like you're not guilty, please. Now you can put them to good use. Paste them on the floor or even on the walls. Get your precious one to peel all of them! Washi tapes are great as they are not super sticky to deal with and they are super attractive!

There are endless activities to help your toddlers. These are just some of the activities that we did in school and I'm sharing then with you! Hope these help! Remember that all toddlers develop at their own pace. Let's not rush them. <3

On a side note, my threenager still wants to be fed all the time and is afraid of the potty.

HOW TO CLEAN CHALKBOARD WALL

Presenting my three year old chalkboard wall!! 

Yikes! It looks even worse on camera.

And oh, my two year old helper. 

THINGS YOU NEED:

- Coke

- Water

- 2 Sponges or 2 clean cloths 

THAT'S ALL!  

1) Soak the sponge with Coke. Squeeze the sponge but don't let it go dry.

2) Start wiping the wall with Coke.

3) Wait for it to dry partially. (Initially I started wiping the coke down with clean water right after but waiting gave me better results)

4) Soak a clean cloth in water and wipe down the wall.

It should work. My wall was so dirty and dusty, you have no idea.

This was what it looked like when I started wiping a portion of the wall. Look at the difference!

And this was when I was done! I was so proud of myself because I was able to do it on my own! *pats self on the back*

You might see patches on my wall, well, that's because I was impatient. I didn't wait for the Coke to dry on some parts and I started wiping with clean water like a mad woman. 

I literally chanted, "Left,right,up,down."

Adam kept repeating, "Mama are you ok?"

Anyhoos, thanks for reading! <3

I seriously need to sit down before I hear sounds of betrayal from my own hips,

What you need for Spring Cleaning.

I had a productive weekend as I choose to believe. I cleaned up my closet! The impossible as I'm allergic to spring cleaning (all thanks to my sinusitis).

Things to have prior to spring cleaning:

1) a box of tissue for your nose
2) garbage bags for rubbish
3) cloth for the dust
4) someone to bug and annoy you till your ears bleed because of your filthy habits
5) the 'clean up or jump down the building' mindset

As we all know, cleaning up is one thing, maintaining is another. Many years I've been having this small space for my closet but Alhamdulillah I managed to stuff all my clothes most of the time. So, during the weekends, I was stoning infront of my closet thinking of how to fit my clothes in that small space. I already gave away two big bags of clothes yet I still couldn't fit all my clothes in. Suddenly, I thought of something. I decided to rearrange my closet; 'travelling style'. I rolled up all my clothes. It took me three hours to complete everything but it was worth it. I could see all my clothes and where they were. I first categorized by type then by colour. I was too lazy to label though. Nevertheless, I'm proud of my filthy, disgusting self to be able to clean up good. Yeay!  <3

\

Yeay!! Well of course if I have a new house, InsyaaAllah, I will try to convince Wan to let me have a bigger space.

HA comma HA comma HA fulstop. The size of their closets are the size of our whole house. Yes? Yes? Just keep dreaming. Till then. <3

Note: Quality of pictures need help. I know. Blame the phone.
