Tiberius Hitam

Last Saturday morning there was a knock at my bedroom door. My father said that my cat , Hitam died in an accident in front of my house. There was dried blood everywehere. He must have been hit in the morning. He had wanted to cross the road but a car had hit him. I was devastated. Gone is my black cat which is constant companion. How I missed that cat. He is 3 years old this November.A naughty cat which fights with every cat that comes to the house. Gone is the cat which calls out from the roof of the house at night. And a cat which calls me in the morning. He always sleeps with me at night. He is my friend and now he is gone. I wanted to find a new male kitten but ... maybe later. Now I only have Cleopatra Comel. During this rainy season, she is not feeling well. So I bring her in to sleep on my bed at day time . I have to find a way to bring her to the vet .
I am not feeling well. I am resting because my voice has changed and my husband felt that I need rest. I will be resting for awhile at home. I had always wanted to do something at home.
First there is this typing service but somehow it didn't take off . Perhaps it's not the time. My sister and family will staying in Jakarta for maybe 4 years. My mother will go there in November . Me ? I don't know if I will go there. If it is the will of Allah I will be there. I believe that when the time is right , everything will fall in place. The other day I just felt like finding out about Eau Thermal Avene. Like it's been there for a long time in the Guardian Pharmacy. It's only now that I am interested in the product . So is Roc skincare. It's been around ever since I was a child. I am only looking at it now. With new eyes. So is everything else in life. There is a time for everything. I miss my cat Hitam ...

Nutritional Yeast

After a week I bought wheat germ. Packed with vitamin E. When combined with the nutritional yeast , it is like cereal and it tasted nutty and savoury .
I prepare both with some warm water after I get back from work at night. Why didn't I know about these two , years ago ? Perhaps I was not into health then . Now I do. I think of buying Soy Lecithin next week. I find that I am less cranky than usual and my skin is softer. Vitamin B complex is supposed to be good for the skin and hair. I read somewhere that Brewer's yeast does wonders for the skin . Nutritional yeast does the same . I thought it was the scrub but perhaps the scrub is good . I found out from the internet, that the yeast is good for cats too , especially for their coat . Perhaps I will sprinkle some on the the cat food. My cat Tiberius Hitam has shiny coat . Perhaps he had found a new owner but he still comes back home.Cleopatra Comel doesn't go anywhere.
I find myself preparing natural skin care. I like it.I like the simplicity and using ingredients found in the kitchen. I found an anti-wrinkle skincare from Expert Village presented by a Miss Jeesaa Gupta. I had downloaded the video. There's an anti-wrinkle skincare which I particularly like. I realised that I am more into Indian skin care. I had just tried an anti-wrinkle formula using curd, honey and sugar. I had just used it and my skin feels soft. It seems that I will be making these easy skin care for years to come.

Aidil Fitri

Aidil Fitri has passed and I am back at work. At first I did not want to work . I had a tiff with my husband before the Eid . I had bought a lot of cleansers. Pond's cold cream , a cleansing oil ,a spot scrub, my old soap and toner , a turmeric night cream which my mother had also started using. I went for my first facial ever. My sister had persuaded me to try . So , I went along.
I will be using a new skincare with my old one. It cost a lot but my sister has given me to try .Dear sisters. I will be using the cucumber milk when I have time. I have a not so dry skin and I should use a moisturiser along with the Aha Scrub,toner and the pomegranate sun block said the beautician . My husband said I should go for the baking classes. Perhaps I will go , perhaps not.
A few days ago, I had purchased a nutritional yeast. It had a nutty taste and it was quite nice. It reminds me of soup . Since it is said to be packed with vitamin B , I decided to have it. Maybe I will buy wheat germ since I have confused the former with Brewer's yeast.
