Now is 2015?? Whattt!!!?

Ok. How do i start? Oh.. Assalam.

My last entry was on 2012.. It was like..3 years ago? Oh sangat berhabuklah blogku ini. Daripada anak dua sampai dah anak tiga.. pun tak berusik blog ni. Haha. And tetiba, harini tergerak hatilah nak buka semula. Sebab haritu ada tengok entrijameela.com cerita pasal bloggers. Konon macam ada spark la nak start blogging balik. And we'll see how it goes effa. 

Alhamdulillah Allah anugerahkan i dengan 3 wonderful daughters. Sofea (the eldest) dah nak masuk 7 tahun tahun depan. Dah nak masuk darjah 1 rupanya. Dania pulak dah nak masuk 4 tahun. Leana (the youngest) dah nak masuk 10 bulan. Rasa macam tak nak tambah dah, tapi rezeki tu di tangan tuhan kan. Hmm.. how fast time flies.

I'm still a teacher and a mom of three. So u can say i'm busy like a bee. Hehe. And now the school holiday is on, i have plenty of time to write in my blog. Hopefully. Fenin betul nak memikio apa yang nak ditulis kalau anak-anak belum tidur ni. Semua nak jadi tukang sibuk mommy dia ni. haha.

I ni curi curi masa sikit berblog sementara menunggu drama Tuan Anas Mikail yang tengah trending habis sekarang ni kan. Anak-anak pun dah solat, mengaji dan makan. Lepas ni, tinggal nak tidurkan anak je lagi. barulah boleh layan Tuan Anas. Hehe.

Haihh..harap harap datanglah idea yang mencurah-curah nak blogging lepas ni. 

Daa.

Sofea's spices artwork and science project




I checked sofea's school bag n i found this. When asked, she said she's doing it at school. Teacher yg buatkan semua, dia just amik spices n placed them on the paper. 

Rupanya dah berapa hari dalam beg. Masa check aritu tak perasan pun kad tu ada kat bahagian bawah. 




This one is her first plant. Time balik sekolah tu tengok dia bawa cawan ni. Hmm, as a science teacher i pun story mory la sket2 tentang carbon dioxide, water, sunlight n photosynthesis. Photosynthesis ok! Science form2 tu..

She was like...apa mommy cakap tu? Fosis eh..
carbon side tu apa? 

Fuhh jenuh jugak nak simplify cerita kasi dia faham. Dia takla faham sepenuhnya, but she knows that plant needs carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to survive. Dan semuanya, kuasa Allah S.W.T.

Haha.. fosis pun fosis la dear. Barula inquiry-based learning kan.

Oh anak-anakku

Hi !

Pheww..finally i dapat curik2 time nak update blog. Well,it's sunday kan. Normally i write my post and set it on schedule. Coz seriously i takkan sempat update during the weekdays. Sibuk dgn kerja n anak2..

Talking about kids, i selalu berdoa supaya anak2 diberkati dan jadi anak yg solehah dan ambil berat tentang agama. Amin. Well, when we finally have children, we want them to have the best in the world. We expect perfection. And we expect it now. Tahpape kan. Raising kids should be a slow marathon, not a crazy sprint. Tapi kadang2 kita sebagai parents ni yang tak sabar2 nak anak2 kita jadi pandai itu pandai ini, expect dia buat itu buat ini.

A reminder for myself. Kids will always be kids. Their childhood should be filled with a lot of time to relax and play. I really hope i dun fill a void of my own life through my daughters as they grow older. I hope i'm not forcing them to do something they dun enjoy. Tapi beriman? That's not based on interest. Itu WAJIB. Same goes to practicing healthy lifestyle, eating right n other good values.(Ikut sunnah Rasulullah itulah yg terbaik) That i dun think i can tolerate. Hehe. Garang eh mommy ni?

Whatever it is, it all starts from home. Good nutrients and affection. Dari kecik2 lagi kena introduce mereka dgn super foods. Mahal sket takpe asalkan bagus untuk kesihatan. Nutrients dun just feed the body, but it feeds the brains. Making a genius? Starts from the food. (Breastfeeding is a good start!)

And secondly, love and attention from us, the parents. Studies have shown that regular interaction with our child has a strong effect on developing their intelligence. So ape lagi..cakapla banyak2  dengan anak kita. hehe. (using proper words n sentences)..

Entry yang keibubapaan sungguh. ;p

Daa.

Hormones out of whack?

Jom belajar hormon hari ini. Haha. Tot i wanna share this coz we women always experience hormonal imbalance which can affect our health.

Estrogen
If you are overweight, you may have elevated estrogen levels; fat cells actually produce the hormone, so extra weight can lead to too much estrogen in the body. This can be a serious problem because excess estrogen can fuel breast and uterine cancers. 

(I think i have low estrogen levels..tu yang underweight je.huhu)


Melatonin
Low levels of melatonin, the hormone responsible for maintaining the body's circadian rhythm, are associated with poor sleep and depression. Our bodies may produce less melatonin as we age, which could explain why some older adults have more trouble sleeping than children do.


(oh i see..maybe that's y we should take supplement kot)

Ghrelin and Leptin
Stomach growling? Thank ghrelin. Produced in the stomach, ghrelin cues the brain that you're hungry. After you eat, leptin swoops in to tell the brain you're full. If these two hormones fall out of sync, you may lose the ability to recognize when your body is satiated and overeat as a result.


(??tak tau bila lapar or kenyang?ok that sounds scary)

Thyroid Hormone
Thyroid hormone regulates how fast you burn calories. One in ten women doesn't produce enough of it—a condition known as hypothyroidism, which can lead to weight gain, depression, and fatigue. On the other end of the spectrum is hyperthyroidism, in which the thyroid gland releases too much of its hormone, causing symptoms such as anxiety, a racing heart, excessive sweating, even diarrhea.


(hmm ramai perempuan ada masalah thyroid bila masuk 30 or 40.So kena take note ni.And selalu buat check-up)

Aldosterone
Aldosterone regulates your body's sodium-to-water ratio. But a condition called renal artery stenosis—a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply the kidneys—can trigger the release of the hormone, causing a surge in blood pressure.


(Kalau ada high blood pressure kena check jugakla kot2 ada hormonal problem)

Cortisol
When you're under pressure, your cortisol spikes to provide the body with a quick dose of energy. Chronic stress, however, can keep your cortisol elevated continuously—a dangerous state, since the hormone can suppress the immune system and has been linked to the accumulation of abdominal fat. 


(So jangan stres melampau ok! orang stres selalu sakit. huhu. Tarik nafas dalam-dalam n zikir banyak2..kasi turun itu cortisol!)

Testosterone

In the years preceding menopause, a woman may suffer from decreased testosterone as her ovaries and adrenal glands slow the production of sex hormones. This may explain why many women experience a drop in libido during this period of their lives. Excess testosterone, however, may be the result of a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); possible symptoms include irregular periods, male-pattern baldness, a deepening voice, and excess body hair. 

(Libido oh libido..hahah)

Solat Istikharah

Tak pernah buat solat istikharah. Kali ni macam nak buat la...regarding bibik's issue.

Sebabkan tak pernah buat, i pun tengok2lah internet and majalah al-ustaz yang ada bagi info pasal solat istikharah ni.

From the web:


v  DALIL DISYARI’ATKAN SOLAT ISTIKHARAH

Solat Istikharah ini telah diperjelaskan melalui hadis daripada Jabir bin ‘Abdillah radhiallahu’ anh, dia berkata: Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam pernah mengajarkan Istikharah kepada kami dalam segala urusan, sebagaimana baginda mengajar kami surah dari al-Qur’an.. Baginda bersabda:

إِذَا هَمَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالأَمْرِ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ:

Maksudnya:
Jika salah seorang di antara kalian berkeinginan keras melakukan sesuatu, hendaklah dia mengerjakan solat dua rakaat yang bukan solat fardu kemudian membaca doa:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ

فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي

أَوْ قَالَ: عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ

فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ

وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي

أَوْ قَالَ: فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ

فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي.



Maksudnya:
Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku memohon petunjuk kepada-Mu dengan ilmu-Mu, memohon ketetapan dengan kekuasaan-Mu, dan aku memohon kurniaan-Mu yang sangat agung kerana sesungguhnya Engkau berkuasa sedang aku tidak berkuasa sama sekali, Engkau mengetahui sedangkan aku tidak, dan Engkau yang mengetahui hal yang ghaib. Ya Allah, jika Engkau mengetahui bahawa urusan ini (lalu menyebutkan secara langsung urusan yang dimaksudkan) lebih baik bagi diriku dalam agama, kehidupan dan akhir urusanku - atau mengucapkan: baik dalam waktu yang dekat mahupun yang akan datang - maka tetapkanlah ia bagiku dan mudahkanlah ia untukku. Kemudian, berikan berkah kepadaku dalam menjalankannya. Jika Engkau mengetahui bahawa urusan ini buruk bagiku dalam agama, kehidupan dan akhir urusanku - atau mengucapkan: baik dalam waktu yang dekat mahupun yang akan datang - maka jauhkanlah urusan itu dariku dan jauhkanlah aku darinya, serta tetapkanlah yang baik itu bagiku di mana pun kebaikan itu berada. Kemudian, jadikanlah aku orang yang redha dengan ketetapan tersebut.

قَالَ: وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَهُ.

Maksudnya:
Baginda bersabda: Hendaklah dia menyebutkan apa yang dihajatkannya. – Hadis riwayat Imam al-Bukhari dalam Shahihnya, Kitab al-Jumu’ah, no: 1162.

 BEBERAPA PERKARA BERKAITAN SOLAT ISTIKHARAH

q  Solat Istikharah dilaksnakan sebagaimana solat dua rakaat yang biasa. Tidak ada ketetapan tertentu daripada Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam tentang surah apa yang perlu dibacakan ketika solat Istikharah, Oleh itu dibenarkan membaca apa jua surah dari al-Qur’an yang mudah bagi seseorang itu setelah selesai membaca surah al-Fatihah.

q  Solat Istikharah boleh dilaksanakan apabila berhadapan dengan segala urusan yang mubah (harus) baik ianya isu yang besar mahupun kecil, perkara yang penting ataupun tidak. Seharusnya kita fahami bahawa permasalahan yang menjadi dilema itu bukanlah termasuk dalam perkara yang telah ditetapkan hukum-hukumnya dalam Islam. Bagi urusan yang wajib atau sunat yang telah jelas arahan untuk melakukannya ataupun urusan yang haram atau makruh yang telah jelas larangannya, ianya tidak lagi boleh dilakukan istikharah ke atasnya. Hanya perkara-perkara yang mubah sahaja dibenarkan untuk dilakukan istikharah.

q  Hendaklah bagi seseorang yang mengerjakan solat Istikharah itu melapangkan dadanya dari apa jua kehendak peribadi yang berlandaskan hawa nafsu. Seharusnya dia menyerahkan perkara tersebut bulat-bulat kepada ilmu Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. Harus juga kita sedari bahawa adakala apa yang dipilih oleh Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala untuk kita itu tidak selari dengan keinginan hawa nafsu atau pada tanggapan kita ianya adalah sesuatu yang tidak bersesuaian bagi diri kita. Namun demikian sewajarnya bagi kita untuk pasrah menerima keputusan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala tersebut. Firman-Nya:

وَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ

وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Maksudnya:
…dan boleh jadi kamu benci kepada sesuatu padahal ia baik bagi kamu, dan boleh jadi kamu suka kepada sesuatu padahal ia buruk bagi kamu. Dan (ingatlah), Allah jualah Yang mengetahui (semuanya itu), sedang kamu tidak mengetahuinya. – al-Baqarah (2) : 216

q  Solat Istikharah ini boleh juga dikerjakan secara khusus atau semasa mengerjakan solat-solat sunat seperti solatRawatibTahiyyatul Masjid dan lain-lain. Sebagai contohnya setelah mengerjakan solat Tahiyyatul Masjid langsung kita membaca doa Istikharah tersebut. Hal ini adalah dibenarkan. Menurut al-‘Iraqi rahimahullah:

Jika keinginan melakukan sesuatu muncul sebelum mengerjakan solat sunat Rawatib atau yang semisalnya, lalu dia mengerjakan solat tanpa niat Istikharah, namun setelah solat timbul keinginan untuk memanjatkan doa Istikharah, maka secara zahir hal tersebut sudah mencukupi. – Rujuk al-Adzkaar, jilid 3, ms. 354. Penulis nukil dari kitab Bughyat al-Mutatowwi Fi Solah al-Tatowwu' karya Syeikh Muhammad bin ‘Umar Salim Bazmul, ms. 137.

q  Doa istikharah itu dibaca setelah memberi salam berdasarkan zahir lafaz hadis tersebut. Doa tersebut boleh diulang-ulang.

q  Bukan termasuk dalam syarat Istikharah bahawa seseorang itu mesti bermimpi tentang pilihan atau tindakan yang perlu diambil setelah mengerjakan solat tersebut. Namun seseorang itu akan merasa tenang atau dipermudahkan untuknya ketika memutuskan sesuatu keputusan sesuai dengan apa yang Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala telah pilih untuknya.


v  RINGKASAN TATACARA MENGERJAKAN SOLAT ISTIKHARAH

 

Rakaat Pertama

1)      Berniat di dalam hati untuk mengerjakan solat sunat Istikharah
2)      Takbiratul Ihram
3)      Doa Iftitah
4)      Membaca surah al-Fatihah
5)      Membaca Surah al-Qur’an
6)      Rukuk
7)      Iktidal
8)      Sujud
9)      Duduk antara dua sujud
10)    Sujud kali kedua
11)    Bangun untuk rakaat kedua

Rakaat Kedua
1)      Ulang seperti rakaat pada pertama dari nombor (4) hingga (10)
2)      Duduk untuk tahiyyat akhir
3)      Memberi salam ke kanan dan ke kiri
4)      Membaca doa Istikharah



Semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan. Amin..

Happy 3rd Birthday Sofea !!!

Assalamualaikum n hello everyone. (if there is.haha). It feels a little awkward to write a new post like i used to do previously. Sejak pregnantkan Dania i dah x active langsung in blogging. With all the sickness and fatigue..it drained all the energy n emotions. I rasa pregnant mom yang pernah alami simptom2 tu faham la kan. Sampai boleh jadi anti dgn laptop n hp. Haha.

So yeah..i am now feeling more comfortable and a little excited to blog macam dulu2. (hopefully). Thanx for reading my blog all these while. And today, i have a wonderful news to tell. Our Sofea is officially 3 years old. Alhamdulillah. Yes it's her birthday peeps. Hehe. May Allah bless you sayang.



She's soo happy when we tell her about her birthday. And she requested Angry Bird as her cake theme. Tak habis2 angry bird tau. But sadly, she also down with a flu. AGAIN. Hmm makan kek with all the mucous la nampaknya. haha. Will upload the photos later k.

As for Dania, she's almost 8 months old, always on the move and busy exploring the world! Not crawling..but more like scooting. I think she'll skip crawling entirely and go straight to walking. Looovve to drop everything off her high chair and very impatient with diaper change. Tell you, she's a real 'flipper'! And a natural cat-napper. Nap mesti kejap2 je. Bunyi bising sket dah terjaga. Haihh ;p

Till next post. Daa ;)

Modern country living room

Hi.

These are all my favorite style when it comes to living room design.

I love country style. Mylocx loves modern contemporary style and he likes country too as long as it's not too crowded and overdo and too classic. Haha.

One thing in common..we love neutral shades.

If we combine our taste...hmm it'll be a modern country style.

And i think, modern country style is not bad at all. Here i listed some of my favorites for modern country living room..(not sure if mylocx likes them;)
























Daa..

::Bibik bakal dapat cucu??::

Hah.

Dah namanya rezeki. Anak sulung bibik preggy jugak seyh..baru 3 minggu. Kalau betul i'm preggy...memang lebih kurangla dgn anak bibik i nih.

Ok..dunno if i'm happy or wat. Haha. I should be happy for her la kan. But the sad part is..cukup2 contract dia 2 tahun (which is end of January 2012)..she's thinking to go back to her hometown. To look after her daughter during confinement n her grandchild too. Yela, cucu first tuuu...

Kalau tak, dia memang ingat nak continue another 1 year kat sini. But everything is Allah's plan. And He knows best rite?

Apa pun, alhamdulillah all these whiles, bibik's performance sangat tip top la..especially for looking after sofea. So sad..huhu. She's been a very good companion to me too..

Hmm..so i guess we need to think and plan again..nak hantar anak nursery or looking for another bibik. Hmm..kalau nak bibik lain, kena decide and proceed awal coz amik masa 1 2 bulan jugak utk settle semua benda barula maid tu datang. Plus, tak campur lagi kalau2 bibik tu boleh harap ke tak. Aihh pening-pening.

Kalau amik bibik lain pun, hopefully boleh sampai around few weeks before bibik sekarang ni balik indon. So dia boleh educate sket2 apa yg patut pada new bibik tu. And harap2 tak degil kalau suruh pakai sopan2 n pakai tudung bila ada lelaki dalam rumah.

Bibik i ni awal2 dulu tak pakai tudung pun n baju harian pun byk seluar 3 suku je. Tapi bila gitau elok2 n i beli baju2 n seluar lain, alhamdulillah dia ikut. Dia pakai baju2 yg longgar, seluar panjang or kain batik dan pakai tudung bila mylocx ada kat rumah.

Tak sangka pejam celik dah nak dua tahun bibik kat sini. Rezeki sofea je la nampaknya kena jaga ngan bibik Ropin.hehe. haihh..

Floor Depot: Floor measurement


Haritu dah bayar deposit for Floor Depot during the IDEA exhibition at One Utama. So after setting the appointments with one of the crew, he paid a visit to our newly purchased home on 7th july with range of samples (laminated flooring) and did the measurement.

He's a friendly malay guy. At first, he's sketching the plan of the house and start doing the measurement. Upstairs tu (including stairs) lantai parkay dah ada yang rosak. Dia suggest buka dulu parkay2 tu semua baru pasang laminated floor tu. Downstairs (living room area) is marble floor. Yang marble floor tak payah cabut whatsoever boleh terus pasang atas marble tu. Cuma skirting je derang akan tanggal.

For the kitchen area, dia suggest letak cabinet dulu baru derang datang pasang flooring. Jimat sket sebab tak yah letak kat bawah kitchen cabinet tu.

We asked quotation for the whole interior of the house except bathrooms. Still not make up our minds yet nak pasang flooring kat seluruh lantai rumah atau tak tapi yang pastinya upstairs memang nak ganti semua. So ask for the quotation dulu, and kalau rasa2 ok n cukup bajet nak pasang for the whole house proceed je la. Kalau tak nak, boleh cancel mana2 area yang tak nak tu.

Laminated floor is to be installed last sekali...bila contractor n wireman dah settle semua kerja including fixing, painting, installing, cleaning etc etc.

Next step: Calling for the contractor and wire-man.

Will update more later.
daa.

faint line on a pregnancy test

Harini i ada rasa stomach cramp and tak sedap badan. Last period was on 5th june. So agak2 dah lewat 2 hari je baru. Tapi gatai jugak nak buat home pregnancy test (urine). So i used my first morning urine..

and appeared like this after 3 - 4 minutes.

Just a faint line.( Sory bad image;p)

And i went to see the doc just now...around 3.30 p.m and turned out negative. Tapi doc tu mcm pelik sket. She said no need to wait until 4-5 minutes ke apa..kalau betul preggy a few seconds je dah nampak the second line. But internet and the explanation on the home pregnancy kit tell me
differently. And she didn't take my words seriously bila i cakap pagi tadi buat test 2 kali dua2 ada 2 line tapi faint je la.

Confident abis doc tu i x preggy and macam nak cepat2 je i keluar. Dahla pompuan. Tapi makcik2 la..dats y malas nak layan ckp byk2 ngan dia. Dia ingat i baru2 kawin and terlebih excited nak first baby kot tapi bila i kata i dah ada baby setaun 9 bulan barula sebok nak entertain. Apa punya pesen la mak cik oii..pangkah la klinik ni.huhu.

I dun really mind if i'm not pregnant..tapi i bengang dengan layanan doc tu..nak kata tak cukup ilmu dah ada title Dr and ada klinik sendiri. haihh..

Btw, this is what i got from the internet:

What does a faint line on a pregnancy test mean?

On a pregnancy test, a faint test line - or color band - is usually indicative of a positive result, as long as it's read within the allotted time frame - or reaction time of the test (usually at 5-10 minutes). If you do the pregnancy test properly and read it within the recommended time, then a faint and weak line is very likely a positive pregnancy test. Explanations for a faint positive line include:

  • You may be testing too early after conception - the hCG in your body may not be at a sufficient level for test detection. hCG doubles every two days, so wait and test again using first morning urine.
  • Different test sensitivity. As tests detect hCG at different levels, a faint line on one variety of test may appear as a stronger line on a 20 mIU test.
  • Urine dilution. Your urine may be diluted due to frequent urination or consumption of liquids. First morning urine is recommended for pregnancy testing as it contains the most concentrated presence of hCG.
  • Chemical pregnancy. Sometimes, an early pregnancy is detected - followed by negative test results. A chemical pregnancy means implantation takes place followed by a miscarriage - usually before any other pregnancy symptoms are detected.

So okla.doa2la i ada rezeki..kalau tak de pun tak pe..ketentuan Allah;)

Daa...

White Kitchens

To be honest, my taste is traditional / rustic white when it comes to kitchen design. However, we already signed up for a promotion which is not using a wood material for the kitchen cabinet. Coz as we know, wood material is very expensive. But still, i opt for white no matter which material is used. But high gloss kitchen cabinet is a no-no for me n mylocx. We dun like modern minimalist design. Thinking to replace the traditional country look with classic contemporary look sebab tak dapat nak pilih wood kitchen cabinet.huhu.

Why do we like white?

Think it's an ideal setting for the home cook. Clean, crisp and bright. Don't u think so? Love it! And dapur yang kecik pun boleh nampak luas dan tak serabut. Besides, wood finishing looks richer against white, printed fabrics pop even more and lighting fixtures will stand out.

We're not picking the design yet. Only agreed with the promotion offered. Deposit is RM500. Kalau tak jadi burn aa duit tu. Tapi insyaallah tak cancel dah kot coz dah consider macam2. Hopefully they're worth it. Nanti after set appointment, derang akan datang measure and design (up to us) then baru sesi pilih memilih bermula. Hehe.

Actually, i suka design IKEA jugak tapi 0% installment only for IKEA credit card. Kalau card credit lain bukan 0%. Riba' plak kan. huhu. Signature Kitchen design looks very nice too. But too modern for my liking;) Kian Classic is ok ok la.. But people said Kian Classic is very good at promotion n finally ketuk orang kasi mahal. haha..

Actually, we have to know what we want..and at least know a bit of what they're saying. Do your research on kitchen cabinet, materials used, materials needed etc etc.. Kalau dapur lama dah ada hob/hood/oven misalnya, n still elok, tak payahla amik package yang ada benda2 tu semua. So nanti tak dela terkezut tengok price quotation tu sangat mahal compared to the initial price yg derang kata. Normally, initial price yg derang kata murah tu guna material yg murah jugak n tak termasuk accessories bla bla bla.. I think the normal price for good quality kitchen cabinet is around 10k above kot.. n depending on the size la.. (just my 2 cents)

Take a look at these following designs... Lovely aihh??? ;)









Till then. Daa...
