ORGANIZED KIDS TOYS INSPIRED BY PINTEREST

Assalamualaikum.

It had been a hectic week with so many postgraduate issues in the university. Plus, I have so many datelines to be met if I want to GOT (graduate on time). Erkk. I hope. 

But, Alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah for giving me "useful places" to deviate for a while, from focusing the problems. It made me happy and I had to use my mind to be more creative and to have some fun once in a while. 

Inspired by Pinterest, I found a very practical way of organizing the kids toys. In addition, it is also a very good lesson for me to teach the kids how to keep their toys back into their places after they have played. You can find the inspirational photo here at this link: http://www.yourmodernfamily.com/easy-way-to-organize-kids-toys/. 


I spent RM32 for the yellow boxes which I bought from the Giant supermarket. The kids had so much fun segregating the toys last week and tonight they were choosing images and couldn't make up their mind when I asked which cartoon should I put for the stickers. Hehe. 

I hope to do more of these organizing things and spend a really good and fun time with the kids. It is time that they learn how to be responsible grown up men soon. Uh... What am I thinking? A man when they are only 7 and 5? Well, you can tell that I am a bit "mental" with my PhD. Haha. 

Anyway, hope you are inspired by my Organized kids toys tooo... 

3rd month PhD....

p/s: hmm, after seeing this photo, I think I need to touch up a little. I should put stickers on the cupboard doors too, right? :)

ENTERING MY 3RD MONTH

Assalamualaikum,

Since yesterday, my life has been upside down. After receiving a very shocking email from the PG office, I had tachycardia plus sweating! haha. Well, the issue is still ongoing and I believe the shock made a movement for us to have our first meeting with all the PG students in the department. Alhamdulillah. Things does turn out to have good reasons behind them.

This whole hanky panky thing really reminds me of the old memories while doing my Master. The same history repeats itself. huhu. Alhamdulillah, I'm glad that I've gone through the process and I hope it will improve this time insyaAllah.

Anyway, I'm already in my 3rd month PhD. I am counting the days just like counting the days during my pregnancy. In my opinion, PhD is like a time bomb. Everyday, the time keeps on ticking away and if I don't plan my time properly, the time will just slip away and nothing will progress. So far, Alhamdullillah, I've been doing labworks. There are more labworks to do. But, thank you to my very helpful understanding SV for guiding and supervising me perfectly. So, during my night prayer, I must pray that she will live long life, be happy and filled with Allah's barakah and rahmah fidunia wal akhirat. Amiiin.

Latest news, Bibik is not coming back. Yeah. Whatever the reason is, I am glad that she is in her country and not running away just like she did before. So, cooking, cleaning and the rest of the housechores are the added "fetal kicks" for my PhD pregnancy. Haha. I am stil cooking the same food somehow. Yet still to cook new recipesssss....

Aha, talking about new recipe. I did this recipe three times already. Habib loves this so much. He can really eat this Mac and Cheese many-many times. :) So, I must share the recipe here so that  I can refer back easily whenever I want to cook it. And Habib can also refer here whenever he wants it later when he is a grown up man and missing his Umi's Mac and Cheese. haha

BULAN KEDUA PHD

Assalamualaikum

Alhamdulillah, without me realising, I am already in my 2nd month of PhD. There are a whole lot of things that I need to learn, as some people like to put it in words "That's why people do PhD in 3 years, so you cannot expect to know everything in 2 weeks". haha.

But, since yesterday, I've been feeling good about doing PhD now. And no need to do work as a lecturer for the time being. The feelings just came. Maybe, it's because I've been reading 2 articles thoroughly that really make me learn new things and ask a lot of things. hehe. Whatever it is, hope it's a good thing for me to keep motivating myself to continue this PhD journey till the end successfully. Amiiin.

Just met my SV. A superb one of course! She never complaints but always encouraging. She will keep answering my questions eventhough she already explained many many many times before. Erkk. Eventhough the feeling of meeting the SV is very scary sometimes because she wants to see me every week and update the progress. Scary tak?? hehe. But, I am so grateful to have her as my SV. So, what's next? Of course-lah, not to dissappoint her and my own self, right? :D

K. Tata for now.
It's my 6th week. Gulp!
