My Problem With Face Mask

 I like wearing face mask. Best gak la kan.

But there's this thing..

It's so weird..

Once upon a day, i was at a shop with my daughter. She asked me where X item was and i told her "it's there" with a flick of my face. My hands were full. 

She asked me again, and here's the stewpid part.

I put the things off my hands, put them on my hips, pulled the mask down and pointed with my LIPS! my MOUTH! You know, that point with your mouth look?

As if i couldn't just use my 10 fingers to point, but i chose to use my mouth nonetheless..

It's strange..

And then my son ni, his voice is very soft. Many times i have to ask him to repeat whatever he just said. I realised i was doing this with him just the other day...

He was saying something and i couldn't hear him right. I said "Ha?", and he repeated it. Still couldn't hear him, so i bent closer to him, locked eyes with him and i TOOK OFF my mask! 

I was like why in the world do i need to take off my mask to hear better???

It was just so so strange. 

Here's another one.

I was looking for something at a shop. I couldn't see the name of the item at the top rack. And yeeeaapp. I squinted my eyes, like a normal person would, and TOOK OFF MY MASK!!

It was as if i could use all my senses better when i took off the mask or something. It's really weird 😅😶

Love Song

 I finished one bottle of perfume already, yahooo! Hehehe.. It was already just a centimeter away from finishing anyway..😛

I bet everyone by now dah perasan kan that radio stations keep on playing the same songs on shuffle. To the point even my daughter in her seedling age realised it too. 

And the songs, a lot of them are love songs or heartbreak songs.. angst.. but where are the songs that sings of wonder? Songs about menial boring stuff like washing dishes? Songs about stress that feels like stains that doesn't come off? 

Anyway, the point is, banyak songs with the same themes la sekarang.

Since i've been married ni, i've already settled with the 'falling in love' phase. I've passed that. I had felt heartbroken, i felt that pain and stuff. Dah.

But where's the love songs about the love we've settled into?

I want to hear songs about love evolving from butterflies to comfort, from nervous malu malu kucing to 'eh, bulu hidung you dah makin menular la' 😂😂  this kind of love, where? 어디?

I asked my husband, "Yang, you rindu tak that feeling when you're falling in love?".

He was driving at the time, mind you, so he was like "hah?"

So i explain la.. "Ala, rasa butterflies tu sume blablublublub"

"Tak. Sebab i'm still in love", pantas dia menjawab.

ECEWAHH! It was so sweet that we had to high five each other 😂

Now, the point is, people assume that falling in love is the only relevant type of love worth singing and writing about, but the love that stays, that settles, is also fun and amazing. 

Being married was truly a non escapable situation where two have no better options but to learn to love each other in ways that are really unexpected. I never expected to love the way my husband looks when he half-sitting-half-lying on the sofa, and i bet he never expected to love the way i melatah or look at him when i'm silently questioning him. 

I'd love to hear artists articulate that. 

Good luck to all recently married couples and may Allah bless your marriage, till Jannah (gitewww).

New New Resolution

 Haritu i kata i nak brave la hape benda entah lagi kan for my 2023 resolution.

Sekarang i nak reconstruction on my resolution.

I NAK HABISKAN ALL MY PERFUME, ALL MY LOTION, MINYAK ANGIN ASTAGA BELI NAK BERJENIS JENIS 😵, USE ALL MY PENS & PENCILS (WHY DO I KEEP BUYING PENS AND PENCILS LAHAIII), USE ALL MY NOTEPADS, MEMO PADS, AND READ ALL MY BOOKS THAT I BOUGHTTTT!!!!!

I'm screaming all of this in my heart and mind btw. That's how strong this mission shall be to me this year! InshaAllah!

No more buying all these stuff until i have finished the ones i already have. Aiguuuuuu..

I tengok my perfumes since before kahwin pun tak habis habis 😳 good thing they still smell good. And as for minyak angin, i buy yang konon kecik2 boleh letak dalam bag, in case sakit badan or kepala masa gi grocery shopping. Lah? Dah berapa tahun dah ni pun tak pernah i tergerak nak pakai minyak angin masa tengah jenjalan. Pastu ada jenis roll on lak. Jenis organic la. Jenis kids-friendly. Bau pun nak 💥variety💥..

And don't get me started on my stationeries and ever-increasing memo pads 😂 I already stopped buying notebooks because i still have some untouched ones, yet to be used, but i shifted my spending attention to memo pads pulak because "they're small and useful". And yet. I hardly finished any of them stacks.

😅

I'm in the saving money mode but i sometimes "accidentally" buy these small stuff and the things i already have are just cluttering my space. So 2023! I shall make space in my closet, my cabinets, and declutter my mind. I'm gonna go by Maria Kondo by the end of this year. Hehehe 😝

That said, if that thing has been sitting there for more than a month, just why?

Jeng jeng. Something to ponder upon. Hehe!

Scones for 1

Have you ever just want to eat scones, but just one (or two) without breaking bank?

I love scones but i don't want to eat it everyday, which would happen if i buy a packet from the bakery, kan? Or have one at some coffee shop that costs a lot.. I just want one to satiate my craving, that's it.

So if you also like scones, here's how i make one!

1. Get Yogurt. Just a small cup yogurt would suffice. I always get the one with berries coz it tastes nice and i don't need to add on sugar or whatever. But if you want plain ones, sila kan. There's no right or wrong way to do it. (Whatever brand yogurt does not matter. Me though, i take whatever's cheapest)

2. I usually take 3 teaspoons of yogurt. If you don't like to keep count, just a palmful of yogurt should be good.

3. Use self-raising flour kalau nak senang, about the same amount, and then mix it. If it's still wet and gooey, add bit by bit of flour. Kalau takde self-raising flour, just use normal flour pastu tambah like a bit of baking powder & salt. (the tip of your teaspoon's worth)

4. Use your hands to mix them up. It is for you anyway kan. Nak malu apa hehe😋

This is how it should look like. The flour and yogurt can gumpal together, and the mix should feel dry but still cold (because the yogurt from the fridge kan huehue)

5. Add stuff. Sugar, cinnamon, berries, whatever. You are free to add any filling(s) you want.

Here i added raisins and sunflower seeds. 

The self raising flour i've been using.

6. Dah gumpal, put a bit of butter on the top. You can completely cover the whole thing in butter, but i don't. I just spread the butter on the top with my finger.

7. Put in your Airfryer, set it to 200degC for 10mins.

Takde parchment paper tu pun takpe. It doesn't crumble.

AND DONE!

The Result:

TADAAAAA!!!

After 10 mins, you get a scone for yourself!

This is how it looks like inside 💋

Of course, this scone takleh lawan the ones bakers make. It's not buttery, nor crumbly but fluffy at the same time, but like i said, it's enough to just satiate that craving, especially when you just want 1 piece.

I usually eat it with marmalade jam and butter, or peanut butter, or cream cheese. 

A warning though, this scone tak sedap sangat bila dah sejuk. So make it when you wanna eat it. Don't need to make a lot and save them in the fridge, coz even after heating it up, the magic is gone. 😔 Proceed with care.

Hope this works for you too! 😁

Lower Back Pains

 Is real.

Seriously. I never expected the pains to be this painful, but yeah. I'm in my 30s, my body *hurts* when i sit too long, *hurts even worse* when i sit on the floor a bit too long.

Just my back la for now, alhamdulillah.. Oh, and my feet too. Still, alhamdullillah.

So my advice to all young ladies, in your YOUTH, sit on your butt, not your back. Don't slouch and learn to put your weight on your butt when you sit, not at the pivot of your spine when you slouch.

Source: 4 Ways to turn good posture into less back pain

Please read the article. It's from Harvard. (UUUuuuuuu~ fancyyyyy~)

My lower back pain started when i breastfed my kids. They took too long and you can't exactly sit up straight while the baby is dangling off the tits kan.. Lenguh la tangan tu..

So i used to slouch when i milked them and now, years later, my lower back couldn't hide its pain that it sometimes become unbearable. Not unbearable la.. Bearable but painful gila 😅

Whenever it hurts though, i always wonder "how do people get through this? Moms especially?". Me, only 2 kids and this i have to live with for the rest of my life. How about the moms with more kids? All those times i had to sit on the floor to fold the clothes while watching tv, or cutting my toenails, but then, those who had to sit longer because they have more clothes to fold? How painful their backs must've been..

So i try not to complain much. Even when my husband said his back hurts, i just gave a look of concern and gave some words of encouragement like "Yang... you dah tua..."..

But i can't bring myself to tell him about my pains.

It just felt unfair to those who have it worse.

It also reminded me of Victoria Beckham when she said she doesn't smile because she doesn't want to show how *good* she has it. It felt unfair to other designers.

I felt that. 

Let's put in effort to take care of the body while we're still young so that we can grow older gracefully and can still do fun stuff! 💪🙌

Usually a new year would mean 'a new me/you', but instead of thinking of making a new version of myself, i approach a new year's resolution with the intention to do more, do better, and be braver. 

Being brave ni has always been my 'thing'. I'm such a scaredy cat, i tend to doubt myself, but i have so much i wish to do. 

These are the things i want to be braver in:

1. Making decisions. I do decide a lot, but when it comes to big things, i always taichi to my husband because i'm always second guessing my own judgement.

2. Trying new things (that don't cost money heheeee). I have tried several new things last year, like making bread (and i turned out disastrous despite my husband's praise. He's only saying it. 😒). This year, i want to try things i can do fr free online. Haven't thought about it yet.. But yeah~!

3. Facing challenges. I ni.. when i think about the obstacles, difficulties that could result in doing something unfamiliar, it puts me off from trying. So i want to push myself to be interested enough that the challenges won't demotivate me.

4. Letting my kids make their mistakes. And hopefully learn from them. I think i'm borderline a helicopter mom. I tell my kids what to do, and even though i told myself i should stop, dia dah jadi habit. Haih.. This year! No more! They will have to figure things out themselves!

5. Taking in criticism. Like points 2 & 3, i memang takleh kena criticised or confronted. My heart macam takleh.. My husband tegur sikit pun i dah merajuk. But this year, NO! I shall kuatkan hatiku! I mean, i used to get so much hate (zaman hijabista dulu uhuk), but i guess after a while, my heart got soft sangat. Now nak kena kuatkan balik. 😤

Yosh!!

To my readers, i want to thank you for reading my blog 💚💚😊

Honestly, i thought that i will start instagramming and stuff again too but i think i'm very much comfortable sharing my stuff here, on this peliks.blogspot. 

I started out as a blogger anyway, ihiks!

I hope as my readers, you too somehow got some benefits? maybe? I don't recommend or review stuff because i don't want to 'influence' people to spend. Serious. Kalau i ada cara or hacks to save money, ha. Yang tu i boleh share. Nak spend money ni... takpe la kot kan? Hehe! If you have any questions or anything, just leave a comment 😊

Also, happy shopping!
