Since its the final week of raya..I bet everyone has becoming busy bees...The last minute shopping is a definite..as more discounts and offers being thrown here and there...Anyhow, this year i've tried out what i called the 'raya zenhabits' ...It really works especially when you have a 1-year-old toddler...
1. Do the 'major' shopping before ramadhan even started
I bought myself few baju kurung..sometime in march - june this year...mr shan's and rania's a month before ramadhan....our plan is to avoid any instances that can cause the budget to burst...Plus when there are less people crowding the area..the more options/varieties that you would have...
2. Clean (Vacum,Mopping,cleaning the toilet) the house every 2 days.
I am having a hectic year this year...Months ago..I was so not organized, it reflects so much in both of my career and personal life...so I started making this as a habit..and I can feel the differences now....
3. Wash the curtain, floor mats, cushions, baju raya..2 weeks before raya..
Everybody does this...no big thingy...I always frowned everytime my mother asked me to do this when I was a kid...now, it is just like one of the most 'pengajaran yg berguna'....
4. "One in, two out" rules...there are new stuff coming in..it 'MEANS' i need to donate old things...
Heard it before?....I learned this from the Oprah show sometime 4-5 years ago....It is not that hard, really...if we can think of those people who need it more than us....
5. Clear out the cabinets...once a fortnight
Now I will always have room and space for everything...especially those
balang kuih...
-Selamat Ber'Shopping' Raya Semua-
