I am my own opponent in my own game.

My Arwah Nenek used to say, "Tak payah kaya-raya. Happy-happy dengan anak-anak tu lagi important, you know?"

Soooooooo true isn't it? 

Ok, today's entry is not all emotional about Nenek. But Nenek's words will always be etched in my heart and mind. She was the very few people who supported my decision about leaving the service in 2008. She said if I had done it for the sake of my children, I would never regret it. Yup, never had I regretted it one bit. 

Yeah, the financial concerns strained us a bit. But hey, even those who are in a dual income family have many  financial constraints. Because we are living in Singapore. PERIOD. 

So yeah, when I first started my business in Elken, I didn't think I would make it. But the push from a dear sister and her surprise blog entry on me helped to spur my energy and drive towards sharing one of the best products I have ever taken in all my 32+ years of living. (I know. I still look 25 right? Lol. ) Plus, Arwah Nenek and Arwah Uncle left us due to the mother of all ilnesses, diabetes. This means my family is highly at risk. Which puts my children at risk. Hubby's blood pressure is also high thus joining a health industry is the start of this journey. (Never forget exercise though!!)

So now that I'm in MLM, I may have eaten up my own words, "I hate MLM." As stupid as you may think someone doing an MLM business is, this 'stupid' organisation that you think it is, has helped me earned more than SGD5k last month alone. And Elken recognises my achievements! THAT IS THE BEST THING LA! 

Had never felt this appreciated by the school when I was teaching. Really. Honestly. Sad truth. That's why my morale was low lah. Tsk. 

Ok, I show you proof now. :) 

Was up on stage last Tuesday. Hee. 

My upline Kak Norsi, Nury and I, yesterday at the weekly meeting. 

Hubby and I with our income for last month. :) Syukur Alhamdulillah. 

Kak Norsi presented the certificate for my attendance at the 3D2N Total Beauty Workshop in KL, last April. 

(Fun workshop I must say!! There's one coming up in June at JB. Email or call me for enquiries ok? )

Our group who received recognition last week. :D 

(Don't we all look happy?! How not to be?!! Hee! )

And of course, my upline, Trina. :) 

And all I did was shared how good El Marino Blanc has been for me, my mom and my husband. :) 

Our Kak Julia with her own testimony. 

And Nury's testimony. :) 

So, stupid or not, I believe in its products and its incentives. And I am trying hard to sustain that amount for this month now that I have no helper and................I have an exam tomorrow. :O

Gotta go back to my books and notes now (while the kids are making a heluva noise. :/ ). 

Wish me luck ok? I really need lots and lots of it! Hehe. 

P.S: I still leave my mobile on and check my email regularly  though. ;) So, do reach me at  sueetchic@gmail.com or call/text/whatsapp me at 96711836 if you wanna know more yar. 

 

School holidays are coming. What better reason is there to earn extra this month, right? :) 

By the end of the day, all of these sacrifices are for my 4 muskynteers. 

InsyaAllah. 

A year on...

It's been almost a year since my last post.
Almost a year since we lost Nenek.
And yes, the very reason I did not want to blog was because I knew I would read my previous entry over and over again and be reminded of the many happenings last year. One of it is of course, my dear grandmother's death.

As I had expected, I am typing this entry in an emotional state. Still can't believe that I had spent a Mothers' Day without calling Nenek up and saying 'I love you' to her. She was also like a mom to me. The one who willingly cared for my siblings and I. While my parents were busy sustaining for the family, Nenek busied herself with us and was very patient with our different demands as a pampered kid, a teenager and a young adult. (multiply that by 3)

"Dah Maghrib! Nurhamzah, Nurashikin, nak masuk neraka eh? Lekas sembahyang!" 
 Abg Noi and I kena, every single day since we reached puberty. And it was always Maghrib that she had such energy to scream like that. Fajr, Zuhr, Asr and Isyak, not like that at all. But really, once a day was enough la. Hehe. My sis was still very young and once she had reached puberty, I was always not at home (budak poly already mah) so I can't really recall if she had been screamed at like that. Lol.

"Nak makan apa?" 
Every single day even if she had cooked the dishes for that day. She knew us well. She knew our tummies better. Heee. ;)

"You don't think I don't know, you know."
Everytime a boy called to look for me, that would be her favourite line. She claimed every boy who called me was 'gatal', was my boyfriend, was trying to get in my pants. So yeap, Nenek helped me filter some of those boys. Lol. Thank you, Nenek!  (Yes, she could communicate in English ok! Good English some more, you know!) Even those who genuinely called to ask about school work also kena. Hahaha.

Once I had Marsya, her fav baby talk was "Mana dia...mana dia..." until Marsya got tired of laughing. And it did not stop at Marsya. Ryan, Elisya and Keisya are all very lucky to hear that. Until today, Marsya would say that to other babies!! :)

 Oh wow....I could go and on forever. I still live in those memories. In those times when we were all happy. We will always have you in our hearts ad prayers, Nenek. We will always miss you. Because you were not just our grandmother, you were our superwoman.

 In Loving Memory, 

Hajjah Rahmah Bte Anuar
