After all prices gone very high!!

Today,after about a week of the hike of black gold prices,(and everything is going up too!) I think I need to reschedule my way of life and cut all the unnecessary expenses.

First of all the plan to change/buy a new dream car is a big NO,NO at this moment,or maybe forever due to this oil crisis.Mr.Hubs has a plan to buy a NGV,but I kinda did'nt give full support for so many reoson.

Among my new resolution to save (not in order) are....drum roll...pstpst..hope this will be everlasting(love!)

1)Stop buying branded make up kit,so no more Chanel 2 way cake,Estee Lauder lipstic etc(Yes,I am start using Mustika Ratu(kinda brand) recently,only to found,my pimples came from no where!!Waaaaaaa!!Akkak nangis!!nak jimat tang ni,tang tu pulak dia jadi membazir,pasal I have to spend to dermatologiest....tu yg akak maleh tu,muka jenis sensetive...aku kah yang bersalah?cemana nak jimat macam nikan?

2)No more window shopping during lunch hour-(My office is surrounded with many Mall ok?)
because,normally the window shopping always ended up with the "sampah thingy"(my hubs called it)because,selalu beli barang2 yang tak perlu...You know what?I have pile of thing which I buy but yet to use it,normally that thing I'll give as souvenior to people who come to my house or I'll give as a present for their birthday what so ever.I'll stop this attitude!!Beli benda perlu jek!

3)Start bring food to office.Yes,now we start do rotation with my collegue about what to bring to office.So that we don't have to go out for lunch,we can save for petrol and the lunch fees.OK gak,other than save....diet la sikit makcik oi!!hehehe...

4)No more makan ikut tekak....tapi makan ikut budget...kalau dulu pantang nak makan apa,walau beribu batu,main redah jer...sekarang pk ratus2 kali...pk panjang gitu,No more hotel buffet,whatmore fancy restaurant.Nak makan kalu,tunggu office belanja jer...hehehe.Makan kat umah (mak) jerlah kak oi...sodap pon sodap..cuma tambahkan jerlah elaun org tuo tu...tapi masih jimat kan?

5)Important function only please!!Kalau dulu,bithday kawan punya anak buah pon pergi,tapi sekarang kena belajar budget sikit,kena buka buku costing yang pernah belajar dulu2,worth it tak perjalanan tu,tol,minyak,hadiah lagik...kalau tak berbaloi,forget it...boleh kirim hadiah atau duit jer sebagai tanda ingatan,InsyaAllah yang menjemput tak kecik ati.

6)No more double triple celebration for son birthday!Do you believe it,since my son was born to this world,he had more than 3 birthday party a year!!Yes, you read it right!!First,birthday ikut bulan Islam which is 30 Syaaban.And as a private person I am ehem..ehem...I organise different party for family,inlaws,my friend,and my son's friend respectively,all in different time and place.like if huge family group,I'll organise home cook and the party held at home siap pasang kemah bagai,macam k*ling..,inlaws yg tak ramai will be in Rest or their home tengok keadaan,friends kalau tak ramai ,buffet kat hotel,son's friend normally at the fast food rest.All cater individual need...Ntah macam mana I did'nt see that as a waste.As my son birthday is on 30th Dec,where my big bonus normally come!!Tapi tobaaaaaaaaaattttttt...tahun ni tak nak buat party2 lagi,kalau ye pun cuma nak potong kek kat dalam umah dgn close family member jer,and with some Doa Off Course,sebab next year he will sits for UPSR.

7)Less holiday....no more suka-suka jalan,ikut gerak hati....But vacation its kinda a must for our family as Mr.Hubs says as an open minder to our son.As he quote it "banyak berjalan luas pandangan banyak pengalaman,sebab dia jugak dibesarkan dengan cara begitu"...So there'll be only one local holiday and one Overseas holiday in a year.Not more than that.Kekira yang tahun ni punya future jalan-jalan ,kira halal lah,sebab dah booking awal-awal...but with a minimal budget Off Course!

8)No more suka-suka shopping..sebelum ni asal bekenan di hati and within the budget,terus sambar,tak kiralah pakai CC ke,cash ke...sekarang ni...selagi baju tu boleh pakai silalah pakai,pastu kalau nak beli sangat cari yang 70% discount,ada tau I jumpa last week,I sambar 2 lai kat JJ,hari ni I tengah pakai...cantik gak!!hahaha...dah-dah lah beli baju branded yang org kg pun tak tau tu...wakakaka...syok sendiri tol...kalau nak gak beli baju kurung 3-400 hengget sepasang tu,restrictkan setawon satu jer..InsyaAllah.

7)Tak payah lah junk-junk food atau snack-snack yang bukan saja tak elok dari segi kesihatan...sebenarnya benda nilah yang banyak makan duit secara tak disedari...nasib baik I dah lama tobat dari makan my fav ice cream Baskin Robin apalagi Hagen Dazz tu,I makan ice cream McDonald yg singgit jer sekarang ni,sedap gak...Yummy!!

8)Minimise the electric using at home...benda ni dah lama we all amalkan kat umah,tapi skrg lagi lah kena strict,like,we all cuma on kan aircond for 1/3 of the night jer,guna timer,agak2 dah sejuk,pasang kipas lak,tv pon guna timer,so blh kata we all tidor dengan bermacam remote disisi,no harm one!!lampu pun kalau tak perlu tu,tak payah lah bukak samapai satu rumah,make it a habbit,keluar dari bilik offkan semua suis yang ada,walaupun at first intention kita cuma nak keluar kejap jer...end up jadi lama....ha,kan membazir tu!!

9)Rancang perjalanan,like nak pergi bayar bill ke,bank ke,susun jadual tu,biar satu hala,kalau blh semua buat on line banking,help each other,macam car pool,Aku tlg bayarkan bil kau,kau tolong bayarkan bil aku...this will save you!!

10)last but not least...kuatkan lah semangat dan berfikiran positif...we are what we are...kita tak boleh mengubah dunia...dan apa yang berlaku is beyond our control....tapi kita boleh berubah dengan cara kitakan...hidup ini kita yang mengemudinya...The choice is yours afterall...

Chiow babe!!
