Reading List 2012 [Part 4] - Percy Jackson series

Hello everyone,

It has been a very busy week. Phewww...

Anyways, in my moments of stress and my family members know this. I either tidy stuff or read to chase the blues away.

And so being preggers, tired and stressed...I walked into Borders and saw a BARGAIN. Buy 1 book and get the 2nd for 50% off. I know some people would think that I am so lame because now there's this e-book thing, but I just can't seem to get into the groove of reading e-books. I still like the real thing.

And you know what made me drool, I saw the Percy Jackson series under the deal section. So I just had to buy it ALL.

Ahhh, there's nothing like reading a good book I'd say. And I love Greek Mythology! I read the Illiad like at least 20 times when I was a kid and we had a little makeshift library at home. Homer is the bomb.

I have read the Lightning Thief, the Sea of Monsters and am now reading the Titan's Curse. Go to Borders and get the perks of the deal guys!

Because I spent quite a bit on the books, I got a free membership and got 2 complimentary memberships as well! Hehe.

It really is truly easy to make me happy.

Have a good rest of the week!

Airiel's Graduation Day

Hello Everyone,

Last Saturday was Airiel's graduation concert for the year 2012.

All pics and video are in Aries' phone as my camcorder has issues of the day la plak.

But this was one pic I took.

Boy, my son has grown. He speaks fluent Malay and English now and dabs at Mandarin too as there are Mandarin classes as well. He has moved on to Igra' Book 2 alhamdulillah. But the problem is, he never wants to do anything at home sbb he always says 'Airiel dah learn kat school mama'.

Instead he tries to teach me alphabets and numbers on his blackboard we got from Ikea (RM79 what a bargain!) and he is so garanglah. He goes 'Look here mama!' and 'Pay attention Mama!'. Alahai anak aku ni.

You should see him scolding Aries on the weekend when its his turn to be taught. Hahaha

Ok, what a way for me to start the week. My heart is melting.

Have a good week ahead.

Bliss Boutique Hotel, Johor Bharu

Hello everyone,

Its Friday! Just wanted to share with you this new boutique hotel which I found in one of my many stays in JB for work. Frankly, I was tired of the big hotels because I have been to them all. So this was refreshing. You know what I loved about this hotel? Its so quirky and funky!

It has designer boutique rooms that each have different themes, meaning no one room is designed the same!
I got the 'Pink Fever' room.

What an interesting space for hanging your clothes 

Queen size bed 

Love the little touches 

It has a fridge, water, coffee and tea and has a bar sort or area with a stool here which you can lepak, all in your room 

Funky light designs 

It has a separate 'duduk bersila' seating area to watch TV with magazines and all 

Love the quirky wallpaper! 

It has a small bathroom, but I love the funky wallpaper again! 

Basic amenities

And its feature wall is a lovely raspberry colour! Yummy

Ok, it is not a 5 star hotel so do not expect the normal luxuries of one, it has a small bathroom so I would not recommend it for families either. For couples it is great! Their website is here.

Blue and Sparkly!

Hi guys,

I promised didn't I? Ok, ok, Huda my bestie is going to know that this is totally out of character because I absolutely hate jewelry. But I have to say since I got pregnant, I have been obsessed with everything sparkly, much to Aries' dismay. I mean, I hate shopping for everything else, but I LOVE looking at jewels!

Who would have thought!

Anyways to make me happy, Aries bought me a blue sparkly for my birthday and our upcoming anniversary in November.

Coincidentally, the above ring is set similar to Kate Middleton's ring! hahaha... I so feel like a princess now.

I am nuts about this jewelry shop Devnani Jewels. Their website is here. Awesome pieces for awesome prices as they were jewelry wholesalers before they opened their jewelry boutique. My male readers out there, go here to get presents for your other halves! You will be pleasantly surprised!.Aries definitely was!

Ok, have a good rest of the week. Hope this gives my readers some ideas on presents for birthdays and upcoming anniversaries!

Pressie for Aries

Hello Everyone,

Its a busy Monday for yours truly. Apa nak buat.

Anyways, Aries long overdue present for his birthday (which I think is combined with our upcoming anniversary lah senang)  I  managed to buy it this weekend. It took so long to get him one because he is so darn picky. His birthday was way back in March.

Anyways,

Hope you like it Aries. It's all about the love eh?

He bought me a present for my birthday last week and for our anniversary coming in November as well. But I have yet to get it. I'll share it with you guys when I do.

Hint : - It's blue and its sparkly!

Ok everyone. Have a good one now!

Hatten Hotel, Melaka

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to post some pics up about the hotel we stayed in our failed vaccay in Melaka. The hotel was new so we have no complaints. What I personally like is the fact that it has 2 flat screens inside and you have a sort of separate lounge area cum living space.

The concierge was so helpful. I was so thankful that one of them managed to find us a mechanic to get us into my locked car when it accidentally locked itself. That is definitely a plus!

Yupp, that's all the pics I managed to take folks...

Hari raya Aidiladha is coming up and yours truly akan balik Mars.

Jumpa lagi insyaAllah!

P.S - Huda balik mana ni?
