4 hari cuti weihhhh

2008-01-21T12:59:00.000+08:00

Not exactly 4 hari la... i was sick, so khamis jumaat was on MC.

Kan hari Rabu I was sooooo teringin asam pedas? Told Mr Photographer about it, he said "ok.. mlm ni kita makan kat Asam Pedas Setiawangsa nak?"

NAAKKKKKKKKK!!!!

Malangnya.. aku dok pening kepala dari Rabu thari, and balik tu we decide to kensel lah our dinner outing. Mr Photographer dgn baik hati telah memasak sup ayam for our dinner mlm tuh. Asam pedas will have to wait sampai aku baik..

Khamis plak, bangun pagi pening tak hilang, so I decided tak mo pi keje.. kang pengsan kat tren payah la plak kan? I stayed at home, minum milo, MUNTAH. Makan roti, MUNTAH. okayyy.. rilek jap... makan cereal.. MUNTAH. Masak bubur.. rilek sat... makan bubur, and MUNTAH lagik..

haiyooo.. penat sihhh... aku dah kepenatan and kelembikan.. sampai terbaring tepi bilik air pasal penat nak lari from bilik to bilik air each time nak muntah.

So dgn perut kosong and kepala pening, i just tido and tido, sampai Mr Photographer balik bawak 100 plus and we went to clinic. 2 hari MC, and alhamdulillah now I am much2 better !

************************************

Sometime last week, Balqis came to me and showed something she 'korek-ed' from her teeth. She said she took sweets, but the 'thing' keras semcm and I suspected mungkin dental plaque nih.. i tried to korek2 somemore and rasa2 mcm byk sgt tanggal from her gigi, takut plak kot2 gigi ke yg terhakis, so i stopped koreking.

Made appointment with dentist, meanwhile brainwashed her about going to dentist. Takut la kan.. kang melalak kat situ, naya jer...

So Sabtu lepas, bawak dia gi Dr Malek kat melawati. Balqis ok, excited, mama nyer yg cuak lebih. Laju beb jantung aku... I hate going to dentist u know... Masuk jer bilik, Balqis terus melompat duduk atas kerusi tuh (coz I have been telling her the kerusi best!! bleh tekan depan belakang, atas bawah).

Dr Malek very2 the nice... he said "ok girl, uncle nak check jer ye?" After checking Dr said mmg karang gigi, coz most likely Balqis chew her food on left side of the mouth jer, tu pasal all the plaque belambak belah kanan. And now my worst fear came true when Dr Malek said "senang jer ni, i cuci kejap jer" I said "buat scaling ke?" "Yes" he replied. "Sakit tak?" I asked (coz i hate scaling u see... ngilu ok) "No lah.. geli sikit jer" Dr Malek said.

Yea rite geli!! haiyooo..camner nihh.. Dr Malek dah put on his mask, preparing all the stuff, and nurse dtg suruh Balqis bukak mulut beso2... Lampu dah bukak, and Balqis muka terkebil2...

Aku dah cuak tahap gaban...

Tapi sbb tak mo kasik Balqis panic, aku pun senyum melebar.. Dr Malek and nurses pun pandai layan budak. We talked to her like NON-STOP thru out the process. Cerita pasal nak beli berus gigi barbie baru, nak pergi swim, swimsuit kaler apa, Balqis suka kaler apa, suka kartun apa.. yada yada yada

Finally Dr Malek said.."Ok.. 10, 9, 8.... 3, 2,1... and you're done!! wahhh..clever girl lah u!!"

Fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lega tahap gaban ok.......

Surprisingly Balqis did not melalak at all. Impressed nyer aku. Nak kuar tuh dia siap cakap "Bye!!! nanti adik dtg lagi ye?"

uihhh... bagus nyer.. and later Balqis called everyone in the family cerita betapa beraninya dia pergi dentist hehehhe... she also told me "best la ma, bila nak pergi lagi ni?"

errr.. balqis gi alone lah ye... mama takottttt! muahahahahhah

Aku teringin nak makan….

2008-01-16T12:01:00.000+08:00

Last weekend MIL masak daging asam pedas melaka style. Lain sket from normal asam pedas yg aku pernah nampak. Dia taruk kentang nak bagi kuah pekat sket.

And the rasa? Sedap sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt.

Dekat 10 kali kot aku ulang alik dapur dok ratah asam pedas tuh.. sib baik ngandung.. tak de la pelik mak mertua aku tgk kebulur sgt menantu dia ni kan? Heheheh

Mak sedara aku kat subang plak mmg pandai masak. Dulu kitorang pergi dinner rumah dia, dia masak sambal sotong (plus many other lauks). The sambal sotong is sooooooo yummy in the tummy.

About few weeks lepas tu ada family gathering lagi kat rumah dia, awal2 aku chop menu sambal sotong.

Again, sib baik pregnant kan? Dia betul2 masak seperiuk sambal sotong.. sian kot takut anak aku kempunan (mak nyer yg terliur…)

Skang ni dari pagi tadi aku dok terbayang2 asam pedas mak mertua aku buat. Nak tunggu weekend ni balik subang mcm lambat sgt.. so lunch ni aku nak merayau carik kuah asam pedas.. but I’m pretty sure tak de yg sesedap mak mertua aku buat huhuhhh..

p/s - tgh chat dgn farah, dok citer la aku tingin asam pedas… dia dgn syok nyer cakap nak suruh mak dia masak mlm nih!!! Iskkkk jeles tau!!!!!!!! Not helping dgn kempunan aku langsung pompuan nihhhhh!!

Ni mengada or what?

2008-01-14T13:33:00.000+08:00

Friday Balqis tak pergi sekolah. Bangun pagi tgk upper lips dia bengkak. Thought it was allergy. Since I was on MC, so we tot tak yah lah budak ni pergi sekolah + day care. Sian pulak nak pergi sekolah dgn mulut bengkak2 camtuh.

Sonok la kan dia duduk rumah dgn mama?

Swim, makan, cartoon, main, makan, swim, cartoon, golek, movie, movie, cartoon..

Then the weekend… and oh yes.. the lips dah ok.. alhamdulillah..

Then this morning.. nak kejut pagi as usual drama lah sket kan? Tambah2 tok and tok wan are around..

Tgh nak mandikan.. I noticed lower lips plak bengkak!! Aiyohhh…

Patutlah nangis sakan… was wondering bengkak ni sbb allergy ke… dia tergigit ke.. ada insect gigit ke… tak de plak kesan gigit..

Dah la campur malas bangun pagi, plus dgn alasan bibir bengkak.. lagila drama sakan dia nangis tak mo pi sekolah..

How la!! Dah tak de maid nih kalau tak mo pi sekolah nak tinggal dgn sapa dik oiiiiii.. my parents are around, but going back to taiping today.

Tapi nak paksa pi sekolah pun, cam kesian pun ada.. huhuhhu

So lepas mandi, sibuk nak pi kat bilik tok and tok wan nak tunjuk bibir dia tuh… and u know.. dgn rengek2 nangis2 tuh.. dia berjaya pujuk tok and tok wan supaya dia tak payah pi sekolah, tok and tok wan jaga dia kejap sampai petang.

My mom pun.. told my dad.. “kita balik taiping lewat sket lahhh..kesian budak nihhh”

See how cucu can affect the grandparents?? Hmpphhhh..

So my mom said nanti bila nak balik taiping she will send balqis to kak ani’s house. I said no.. nanti hantar balqis to day care. Bukan apa, nanti dah biasa pergi rumah kak ani, sampai bila pun tanak pergi day care.

Balqis nyampuk sambil melalak “tanak pi day care!!!! Nak pi rumah mak long!!!!”

Uishhh… lagi satu drama plak… mak aku pun malas nak panjang2 citer.. ok lah ok lah… apsal plak la tanak pi day care budak nih.. ni mesti sbb dah lama cuti (since khamis) nak kata tak sonok kat day care, everyday time balik sengih happy jer dia.. kawan ramai, semua babai dia time nak balik (cam celebriti beb anak aku hehehe). Nak kata kena dera.. sket calar pun tak de… hmmphhh… haru btul…

I let her in my parents room for a while sambil bersiap nak pergi kerja, and u know.. 5 minutes later dia dtg bilik aku tersengih2..”ma.. nak pakai baju” lepas tu dia tunjuk lips dia tuh and said “ma.. kalau adik buat cium gini sexy tak bibir adik?” sambil tunjuk lips ala2 angelina jolie… this is the point where I know that she is only MENGADA…

Okayyyyyy

So later I told my mom.. nanti mak hantar pi day care ek… my mom agreed… “nanti mak pujuk2 lah dia…”

Before pergi kerja tadi she promised esok she will go to school and day care. Time nak kuar tadi dia HAPPILY waving at me and Mr Photographer from the balcony. Eeii… geramnye aku tgk budak comel nih!!!

Later I called, my mom said dah ok jer budak tuh, bengkak dah tak der.. Sian mak aku ok.. siap bawak Balqis buat kerja kat ofis..

Hey!!! My seat!!

2008-01-09T13:49:00.000+08:00

Finally, I think my perut dah start nampak sikit. (mostly lemak I think, due to my ‘healthy’ eating habit and no exercise, I quit gym btw)

Jap side story sat..

When I was 6 or 7 weeks kot, Balqis asked me
Balqis: Ma, baby dah besar ke?
Me: Belum..
Balqis: Habis tu kenapa perut mama besar??

Chaissssss… terhina kejap aku..hehhehe

Ok back to the original story.

Alaa..baru 3 bulan pregnant..besar mana lah sgt perut kan? Baju maternity pun belum beli lagik, so everyday berbaju kurung jer la pi kerja. Bila cenggini, org tak tahu la aku pregnant kan. Tak der la org offer aku seat dlm train kan.. so kena lah sabar berdiri dlm tin sardine tuh..

Semalam.. finally aku rasa ada org noticed that I’m pregnant.. and offered me her seat dlm tren. Nice lady!!!! Happynyer aku… tersengih2 cakap tq.. and makcik yg berdiri sebelah kanan aku pun sibuk suruh aku duduk (kesian tgk muka seposen aku agaknya).

Sekalik tuhhhh..

Ada sorang minah yg berdiri sebelah aku nih, dgn muka tak malunyer terus duduk kat tempat kosong tuh!!!

The lady yg kasik tempat tu blur… makcik sebelah kanan aku ni pun blur…(she even said “alahaiii.. kesiannya awak!”)

Takkan nak gaduh pasal seat kan? So aku pun dgn muka tersengih (yg sungguh tak ikhlas) said “tak per la…” padahal dlm hati cam menyirap aaa sket2.. penat ok berdiri! Dgn pening and nak muntahnyer lagik.

So azam aku lepas ni, perut tak besar mana pun nak pakai jugak baju maternity secepat mungkin… supaya org kasik aku seat dlm tren muehehehehhe.

Mr Photographer said “U shud pakai tag besar2 tulis I AM PREGNANT”

She is gone…

2008-01-07T17:09:00.000+08:00

After almost 5 years.. finally my maid dah balik.

Sedih? Sket la… tak der la sampai melalak. Tipu lah kalau tak sedih kan.. almost 5 tahun beb.. mmg ler byk aku sakit hati and geram dgn dia.. but as a whole.. okay la… not bad. I consider myself as one of the lucky employer.. sbb selalu sgt dgr citer pasal maid yg bukan2 kan… so minah ni considered ok lah…

Time dia nak balik..salam peluk cium Balqis.. as expected mmg melalak lah maid aku nih. Ye la.. jaga Balqis since lahir. Kalau aku pun nangis ye dok?

Si balqis plak.. rilek jer.. she told her kakak (we call her ‘kakak’) “Kak jgn nangis ye… baik2 tau!”

U see.. I have told Balqis repeatedly since weeks ago that kakak is going back for good. She seems ok. So I tot, ok lah kot budak nih.. tak de problem lah aku dia dok rindu randa ke apa ke…

SEKALIK TUHH

Semlm kot Balqis told me

Balqis: Ma.. kakak balik sini July kan?
Me: No lah..kakak tak dtg sini lagi…

Muka Balqis dah lain mcm….

Balqis: Kenapa????
Me: Kan kakak dah balik kampung… dia tak dtg sini dah.. adik kan duduk day care sekarang… nanti july kita ambik lah kakak baru ok?
Balqis: NAK KAKAK RAHSIA!!!!!!

Aku terkedu sat…

Me: ok lah ok lah…

Ntah apa yg aku ok pun aku tatau… I just want her to stop crying.

Haiyooooooo

Aku rasa dia belum terima hakikat maid balik for good. Owwwwww nooooooooo… Dun ask me how she conclude July kakak is coming back.. I guess she assumes once baby kuar kakak will be here again…

How la?

Happy New year..

2008-01-04T10:36:00.000+08:00

Belum lambat lagi kan nak wish?

So what have we achieved last year?

- kawen.. yeay yeay…
- keje baru (ni mcm evey year ada muehehehhe)
- ajar tuition part time..
- Balqis masuk tadika
- jual kancil, bought motorcycle (btw nama motor tu nicholas)

So what we wanna do next year?

Well.. I can say towards the end of last year sampai hari ni, a LOT of things happened. Mainly, ada 2 benda besar dlm kepala aku sekarang…

Firstly, like I said in my previous entry, I am maidless now.

Sometime mid Dec haritu the maid mention to me dia nak balik for good, tak mo renew permit lagik. Anak dia kat indon problem, sakit itu ini yada yada yada. Aku pun okay.. since dia pun cakap awal2, I said nanti habis contract (mid Feb) tak yah renew dah la.

Tup tup about 1 week ago dia kata kat aku, kalau buleh nak balik 5 Jan nih, which giving me less than 2 weeks notice. Dgn sekolah balqis nak start, dgn parents aku still in Taiping, who’s gonna take care of balqis?

Aku hangin. Dia insist nak balik. Gedebak gedebuk gedebak gedebuk, end up balik jugak la dia 5 Jan ni. Aku panic!!!

In less than a week, aku dgn Mr Photographer pening and kalut memikirkan sapa nak jaga balqis. Pk punya pk, bincang itu ini, we decided, hantar Balqis kat day care, no maid for the time being.

Luckily, ada day care baru bukak around the corner, dekat dgn tadika dia. We settled for the registration, transport etc about 2 days ago.So semlm, even tho maid is still around, Balqis dah tak sabar2 nak pergi day care. Kol 11.30 maid send her, and 6 pm Mr Photographer ambik dia balik.

Ikut kata Balqis.. seronok sgt duduk situ, ada kawan nama Aishah (anak owner, umur sama dgn Balqis) Main mak-mak, main kejar2, makan, mandi, belajar Iqra’. Esok nak pergi lagi!!!

Fuhhhh…. Lega aku ok!!!

This morning got a chance to borak dgn the owner.She said Balqis baik budaknya.. best fren dgn anak saya… tapi tak nak tidur sbb excited sgt main.

So, hopefully, Balqis will be ok kat situ, sbb aku mmg dah tak larat nak ambik maid. Duit beribu raban lagik.. dgn perangai tak tentu hala lagik kan?

BUT..

We feel that this maidless thing is temporary jekk.. paling lama pun sampai July nih… sebab apa? Sebabnya ialah tak lain tak bukan benda kedua besar dalam kepala aku skang, or.. errmm.. to be exact dlm perut aku skang.. hehehe…

Yes yes… I’m PREGNANT. – 12 weeks to be exact.

So this explains why aku suka merapu lately, and aku malas update blog lately. U know lah.. 1st trimester.. dugaan hebat betul ok. So I dowan to be posting benda2 merapu all the time kat sini.

I dowan to be updating about sedih, marah, geram, geram, sedih, marah, marah, geram, sedih ALL THE TIME u see…

Coz what I have been going thru for the past 3 mths is air mata, muntah, pening, loya, muntah, nangis, stress, pressure, muntah, pening, loya, mengamuk, marah, pening. Ok, I think u got the idea.

Now the symptoms are slowly going away. Pls pls pls go away… I want to enjoy my pregnancy in PEACE!

Mr Photographer happy (duhhhh…mesti lah happy) and siapa lagi paling happy kalau bukan Balqis. Tak sabar2 nak dpt adik. Dah bagi nama ok kat adik dia.. siap berebut dgn Mr Photographer nak kasik nama apa. Balqis said to us, dia nak adik pompuan jer… kalau boy dia tak mo… boy notty!

I said kalau dpt boy camner? She said kalau dpt boy kasik kat org lain… hehehhe

Ada ke patut…

Tapi skang aku dah berjaya brainwash dia.. boy ke girl ke mesti sayang jugak ok?

So back to our maid/pregnancy story.

We hope to be maid less sampai dpt baby ni lah… duit pun jimat.. sumerang pun happy. Lepas dpt baby.. tgk lah camner.. either ambik maid baru.. or kot2 kitorang dah jadik millionaire ke masa tuh bleh aku resign keje dok umah jaga anak…kuikuikui.. syok ek berangan?

So korang.. doakan aku anak beranak sihat dan selamat dan sihat selalu..

p/s - pagi ni ayah Mazlina Mohd dah kembali ke rahmatullah. Salam takziah from kami sekeluarga. Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat. Al-fatihah utk arwah.

Curik abg idham punya survey :)

2008-01-03T16:07:00.000+08:00

Tapi dah mintak permission… so here it goes..

Read the survey he did, and past 2 nites while Balqis tgh main2 dgn dia punya toys, tiba2 teringat nak tanya the questions to her, and see what are her answers.. Well, since she is only 5, tak de la buat online/written etc, I just simply asked her there and then, plus kena lah alter sket questions tuh.. kasik budak comel ni paham sket..

Me: What makes you happy sayang?
Balqis: My (cousin) brother and (cousin) sister come here

Me: What makes you sad and bored?
Balqis: My (cousin) brother and (cousin) sister go back home

Kebetulan.. her cousins baru balik… so I assume kalau aku tanya dia lepas balik Jusco, the answer will definitely be different! Hehe

Me: What makes you worry?
Balqis: What is worry ma?
Me: Worry is risau
Balqis: Risau tu apa ma?
Me: hmmm.. cam adik susah hati la…
Balqis: ohhhh… bila tak pergi sekolah.. adik worry lah!

uihh.. betui ka anak aku nih…nanti dah start gi sekolah.. jgn liat pulak nak bangun pagi eh?

Did not ask her on kenangan manis/pahit.. lupa la plak soklan nih…

Me: When you grow up what u wanna be?
Balqis: I dowan to be anything!!!! I just want to stay with you!!

ohh.. so shuweett my baby!! But u kenot stay with me sampai tua ok.. go get a job or get married or something!

Me: Dlm byk2 brg adik kan.. yg mana adik paling sayang?
Balqis: huh??? (Muka blur…)
Me: Alaa… cam brg adik punya la.. your toys ke, your books ke.. apa yg adik sayang sekali?
Balqis: MAMA!!!
Me: That is sweet baby.. but im not your barang.. im your mother…
Balqis: Ohh.. hmm.. semua2 lah!!

Bila Mr Photographer merajuk….

2007-12-12T15:40:00.000+08:00

Daddy suka main merajuk2 dgn Balqis sekarang. Kalau ditanya “balqis sayang MUMMY daddy ke DADDY mummy?”

Sebab Balqis ni super duper smart girl, she wud answer “I love you both equal”

Tapi Daddy ni saja nak menyakat.. dia akan pretend merajuk..

“I want to go back to Subang lah…”

“Dowan to bring u naik motor lah…”

Dulu2.. Balqis cepat2 nak pujuk Daddy… she will say “ok ok I love DADDY mummy”

Lepas tu kan… Balqis pun cepat2 sibuk nak cium daddy nyer… nak pujuk la kan.. tapi daddy jual mahal la kunun… toleh2 muka kunun…abih majuk aa tuh.. wakakaka..

Tapi skang…

Agaknya dah tak larat nak layan org tua majuk kan..

Each time Daddy majuk, mummy plak sibuk2 suruh Balqis pujuk.. tapi Balqis buat dekkk.. dia kata

“alahhh.. kejap jer tu merajuk..daddy main2 jer tuhhh.. biar jer la ma…nanti daddy ok lah tu.. tak yah pujuk lahhh”

Wahahahaha… somebody is a fast learner!!

Our update yg dah basi

2007-12-11T11:30:00.000+08:00

Mr Photographer dah start new job in KL.

Yeay!! Means higher pay, less travelling time and less travelling cost. Syukur alhamdulillah!

With this new job, we also managed to make some adjustment. We no longer need 2 cars. Sold my kancil, duit lebih beli motor. So pagi2 now Mr Photographer will send me to train station, balik rumah, naik motor pergi keje. Balik keje, ambik kereta, ambik aku kat train station, then balik rumah.

Syiok ek??

His journey now takes only 15 - 20 minutes. He said dia pun senang hati sekarang, tak payah pk jem la, itu la, ini la. Aku pun senang hati, sbb tak payah sibuk nak drive cari parking kat wangsa maju dah..

Now lunch time almost everyday kitorang dating :)

We renovated our room.

Our room in Danau Kota is so full of... STUFF. So we decided to meng 'CASA IMPIAN' kan bilik sendiri. Taruk carpet, bought new book shelf, almari and chest drawers. gedebak gedebuk.. and the result is...

ermm ok gambar blum ambik... kuikuikui...

but seriously.. ikut kata beberapa pengkritik as below.. mmg lawa la..

"Masuk bilik ni rasa mcm ada kat showroom IKEA" - Norliana (owner bilik)
"Lawa giler bilik kita" - Amzari (owner bilik)
"Mommmmm!! our room is soooo cool!!!" Balqis (anak owner bilik)
"Lawa la beb bilik korang" Adik ipar owner bilik

errmm.. pengkritik luar blum bawak masuk lagik... kekekekkeke

but seriously.. for a small room, occupied by 3 sekeluarga, we made it to look really organized and spacious..

nanti la aku ambik gambar.. pas tu taruk contact number sekali kot2 ada nak nak upah we all meng CASA IMPIAN kan bilik korang sekali muahahahhaha...

Patut la tak dpt!

2007-12-04T16:12:00.000+08:00

Was talking to a fren about the job that rejected me.

Before that.. let me warn you... aku frust, aku sakit hati, aku marah, sooo...hmm.. oh.. hmm.. ntah... baca jer la..

Apparently, he technical reason that they said, was just a cover up. Truth is, they are hiring another lady, yg pakai sexy2, so that bila ada function or meeting, senang nak bodek boss. The interviewer even told the lady upfront to pakai sexy2 esok2...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

i'm speechless..

sad? no lah.. after all, bukan aku desperate sgt.
marah? sakit hati? definitely..

pasal apa..

pasal aku rasa i deserve the job..

pasal aku rasa diorang ni mcm main2 kan aku, buang masa aku, kasik false hope kat aku, buang duit and energy aku. (hey, i took leave for the interview, i spent time and money ambik gambar, carik cert, photocopy cert, print resume bla 3x)

pasal aku tergezut ada jugak org2 yg mcm ni keje kat company beso mcm nih.. and the interviewer is muslim/malay guy, dah HAJI ok...

tapi..

nak marah lebih2 pun tak de guna.

bagus lah aku tak dpt keje tu..kot2 esok2 aku plak kena pakai seksi time nak dekat appraisal ye dok? lagi haru..

kot2 diorang ni termistaken resume aku utk position lain kot.. i tot i applied for project mgmt punya post, they mistakenly tot i applied for some bimbo punya post :P

patut ler tak sesuai

aku ni ke yg lurus bendul sgt? mmg biasa ek benda2 gini?

We miss her!

My parents are back from Taiping. The kids (Farah and Iwan) are spending the time at our house. Cuti sekolah kan? U see, the kids mmg manja with the tok and tok wan. Asal my parents balik from Taiping, kalau hari esok tak sekolah, the kids will definitely tidur celah ketiak tok and tok wan.

My baby.. oh my baby... semenjak dua menjak nih, dia pun attached dgn tok and tok wan. Asal diorang ada rumah, Balqis will tidur with them. Tambah2 plak the cousins are around, lagi lah tak heran kat mummy and daddy... sob sob..

It's been 3 nites bebudak tu dah tidur bilik my parents. Which means dah 3 nites we (me and Mr Photographer) tido without Balqis. We miss he so much!

Semlm rindu sgt2 dgn Balqis.. I told her "mama rindu la.. mlm ni tidur dgn mama ye?" She said "alaaaaa...nak tidur dgn tok!!" After few attempts to merajuk, she finally agreed "ok lah ok lah adik tidur dgn ma" yeay!!!!

But later, lepas balik dinner, she said "ma.. tak jadi lah tidur dgn ma, adik nak tidur dgn tok!"

aku pulak yg kuar "alaaaaaaaa"

then dia pun kuar "alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

ok ok..malas nak gaduh... gi lah tidur dgn tok!!

sedih ok.. the fact that my baby can oredi sleep without me hugging her. Somehow, i still feel that she is my little baby. u know, baby yg aku buleh peluk and dukung and dodoi. tapi tak sedar.. nak dukung dia skang pun dah semput..heheh..

mlm ni tidur dgn mama ye?

Kecewa tau tak???????

Balqis ada habit suka gigit kuku. Remember our IKEA trick on her? Well, we sort of ugut to sent her to IKEA and keep her in the box if we ever caught her biting her fingernails. Oh well.. I guess trick tu tak jalan..pasal the habit tak pernah stop pun..

So yesterday, Mr Photographer had new idea.

Daddy: Camni la balqis.. we won’t send you to IKEA, BUT!! If we see you biting your fingernails, we will take one ringgit from your tabung.. ok??

(muka Balqis tgh pk… whether to agree or not)

Balqis: hmmm… ok!!!

And u know wat… tak sampai 2 minit… I saw her biting her fingernails lagik…

Me: hahhhhh!!!! I saw someone biting her nails!!!!
Balqis: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Daddy: Okayyy… I’m taking one ringgit from her tabung!!!!
Balqis: uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

And yes… the little girl menangis teresak2, bercucuran lah air mata sbb duit dlm tabung dah kurang seringgit!

Hehehehe.. kesian jugak tgk dia melalak sakan… but nak gelak pun ada. Terasa nak pujuk and stop Mr Photographer from taking the money, but heh.. somebody needs to learn her lesson lah kan?

So aku pun pujuk lah dia sambil tergelak2.. which lagi marah lah budak tuh…

Mr Photographer pun agaknya kesian tgk dia melalak sakan.. he finally said “okay.. this time I will put the money back.. but next time I will take one ringgit okay… say sorry!”

Budak tu pun.. bila disuruh cakap sorry, mmg jgn harap nak keluar sorry from mulut dia.. instead, dia tunjuk kat botol susu kat mulut dia.. (kasik sign tgh minum susu, x bley cakap sorry) So I said “okay..lepas habis susu u say sorry eh?” and she replied “lepas habis susu nak tido!!!” sambil pejam mata rapat2.

Eh… bleh plak cakap nak tido.. sorry tak bley cakap eh?

So aku dgn Mr Photographer pun tersenyum2 lah sesame sendiri..heheh. now we know her weakness, lepas ni kalau notty2 mummy daddy ambik singgit!!!

My mimi

2007-11-23T15:20:00.000+08:00

I was reading some blogs about cats, and it reminded about my cat, long long time ago (almost 12 years now when she died)

I vaguely remembered when we brought her home. I think when I was 6, we were in Sungai Petani, kedah back then. My sisters said they found her near the railway station. She was a small small kitten. Her mother was nowhere to be seen. At first, our parents did not agree. They hate cats… but we insisted, all 4 of us insisted, and there was nothing our parents could do..

We named her MIMI. Why? I oso dunno… it just seemed right for her.

After a year in SP, we moved to KL. We brought Mimi with us. She became our family, more like the youngest sister, as I used to bahasakan myself as “Kak Liana” hehehe.. kempunan sgt nak dpt adik lah katakan…..

We took good care of her. We trained her well. She never berak in the house. She eats only friskies or whiskas, she won’t eat rice or fish (kucing ngada sket). I never saw her kawan with other cats. Whenever she saw other cats, siap la nko…mesti nak gaduh.. however, kalau nampak tikus, kecut perut, diam x kata apa. Hehe.. my darling mimi.

We never keep her in cage. We let her free, ad she never tried to escape. I guessed she loved it with us. She beranak few times.. I think in total anak2 dia more than 10. (horny jugak kucing aku). Mula2 we tried to keep them all, but my parents just won’t accept, and send them all to SPCA, then kasi kan mimi.

My parents hated her so much. And I remember how much I hated them back then for the things they did to her. There was once, my dad threw her away. Brought her to kedai makan in melawati, and dumped her there. When 4 of us came back from school, and mimi was not there, we cried, we were so frustrated and angry. We refused to eat; we refused to listen to any of the things that our parents said.

Next morning, tak tahan dgn protest by all 4 anak dara..my dad decided to find mimi back. We went to the kedai makan, and waddaya know.. mimi was there, like any other kucing liar, sibuk cari makan.

She was my best fren back then. Every morning when I go to school, she will follow me to the junction where I waited for the school bus. Once I got up the bus, she will go back home.

Until December 1995, when I was in PPP. I came back for holiday, and I saw her.. she was sick.. I korek2 my wardrobe, and some of baju had blood stains. I didn’t suspect anything until I saw mimi’s tummy is injured.I asked everyone, no one seems to know what happened to her.

It broke my heart to see mimi in that condition. So weak and helpless. She just lied in the wardrobe in between my clothes. I took her out and cleaned the wound. I begged my father to bring her to a vet, but EVERYONE in the house didn’t care. They just said “Esok lah.. dah nak ptg nih”

I was sooo frustrated. I didn’t know what to do. Mimi was very very weak. I put her on a comfortable big pillow, put a blanket over her and prepared some friskies and milk by her side. Everytime I got up, she will “meoooww…..” slowlyyy.. as tho telling me “don’t go…” So I waited till she fell asleep, then I went to bed.

Middle of the nite, I checked on her, and I saw her head is SOAKED in the bowl of milk!!! Luckily she was still alive then (terendam sket jer la.. prob. her attempt to drink some milk but was too weak). I cried looking at her. Again, after she fell asleep, then only I went to bed.

Early in the morning, my mom woke me up with the news “Na.. Mimi dah mati!”

I ran to her, only to found her cold, stiff body covered with ants.

God knows how hard I cried. God knows how much I hated my family for not taking care of her and how much I blamed them for not taking her to vet.

I cleaned her and kissed her good bye. We buried her kat belakang rumah, where currently my eldest sister is staying.

Called up my sisters and told them the news. We cried together on the phone (yes yes kakak2 aku semua emo)

I loved mimi A LOT. But I don’t think I loved any other cats than mimi. Tried bela-ing some other cats, but just not the same. Mimi was special, she was not just a cat, she was my family.

It has been 12 years, but I still feel the pain.

Sob sob…

*emo mood switched on*

Melaka trip

2007-11-23T11:22:00.000+08:00

Went to Melaka last weekend. Ada org kawin on Sunday, so we tot we’d just go one day earlier, tidur umah sedara and jalan2 (and of course..makan2).

So on Saturday morning off we went, had breakfast kat R&R Seremban, then terus gerak ke Melaka. First destination was Zoo Melaka. Of course, Balqis yg paling excited, tengok itu ini. Nasib baik ada tren/bus whatever u call it.. tak payah kitorang menapak sepanjang2 zoo tu ok.. tak kose aku…

Lepas Zoo, plan nak pegi muzium yg dlm ship. (dunno lah wat’s the name) Sekalik tuh tutup la plak..iskkk.. so berjalan jer la area org jual brg kraftgn, then terus pi mahkota parade ( was it mahkota parade? I think so).

Jalan2 kejap, makan KFC (aku tingin cheesy wedges…yum yum) then we all gerak ke banda hilir, rumah sedara. Mak Teh buat nasi goreng and invited us to makan sama. Being me, a nasi-goreng-magnet, mana bleh tolak kan? Plus, our Mak Teh is well known of pandai masak. Rugi beb kalau tak makan. Nasi goreng sedap ya ampun… the normal, simple nasi goreng.. u know.. just cili, bawang and ikan bilis.. adehh… I’m drooling now.. ehheh

Petang, pi rumah sanak sedara lagik sampai ke malam. Balqis had fun..lotsa fun. She said to us “kalau cuti sekolah kita tak payah balik subang lah…kita balik Melaka jer..” uihhh.. ingat Melaka sebelah rumah eh?

Next morning, since our Mak and Pak teh jual nasi lemak depan rumah, so we all pun bertandang la kat kedai diorang pagi2 nak bfast. Nasi lemak dia I tell u… like oh my God so sedap sgt sgt. Niat di hati nak tambah.. tapi cam sogan la plak kan? Org tu dah la meniaga… kitorang pi makan free2.. lagi mau tambah kan? Mueheheh.. ni belum citer dia punya kuah kacang and masak lodeh.. Mr Photographer said aku kena duduk situ sebulan kursus masak…

Thari we went to the kenduri, then otw back singgah rumah sedara in Tampin.

I so enjoyed our Melaka trip. I enjoyed the food (yes yes makan is my top priority list) and I enjoyed listening to the sedara mara bercerita how to cook this and that. And I don’t mind duduk situ sebulan kursus masak heheheh

Adik gaduh ke?

2007-11-20T11:20:00.000+08:00

Last Wednesday kan I was on leave to go for this interview.. so I took the opportunity to hantar and ambik Balqis balik sekolah, one of the things that I and especially Balqis enjoy the most.

So dlm 11.30, aku pun tercegat depan gate sekolah dia. Nampakler bebudak class Sunflower (4 y.o) dah terkedek2 keluar pintu, nak pakai kasut (sgt cute ok). I saw Balqis dok senyum2 dgn kawan2 dia, and duduk sekali dgn diorang nak pakai kasut.

Surprisingly, I saw one of her friend girl A, tarik tgn another girl, B pergi jauh2 from Balqis. And my girl, being so lurus bendul, memula tu ikut lah bebudak tuh. Again, girl A tarik tgn girl B and duduk jauh from Balqis.

Balqis pun, agaknya dah faham wat’s going on, terus duduk tempat lain, and started wearing her shoe. This time, I started calleing her oredi, and nampak jer muka aku, terus senyum happy… u know.. the priceless punya senyum.. kindda senyum that makes my day.. :)

I wanted so much to ask her what is happening, tapi tak mo bagi dia sedih.. so I asked her

Me: tadi adik pakai kasut dgn siapa?
Balqis: Dgn Loy..
Me: Loy tu boy ke girl?
Balqis: Boy..
Me: Ohh..adik geng dgn boys ek? Wat happen to the girls?
Balqis: Ntah..
Me: Adik bergaduh dgn diorang ke?
Balqis: Taakkk… A yg bergaduh dgn adik..
Me: Wat happen? Did you do anything?
Balqis: Tah tahu.. adik tak buat apa2 pun…
Me: Adik tanya tak A kenapa tak nak kawan adik?
Balqis: Dahh.. dia kata tak nak kawan jugak.. adik kawan lah dgn org lain!
Me: So now adik geng dgn siapa?
Balqis : Dgn B, dgn boys..

Kesian ok anak aku… apsal plak tak nak kawan dgn dia nih…

U know.. few days aku susah hati pasal nih.. takut balqis x dpt adapt diri dgn kawan2. Terkejut pun ada.. coz all these while aku tgk dia ok jer bergaul. Especially lepas masuk sekolah. Concerned jugak, takut2 something wrong ke dgn anak aku, dia ke dok buli budak, org ke buli dia .. kalau dia tak de kawan mcm mana?

But looking at her, I get the feeling that she doesn’t care. I was expecting that she maybe kindda sedih…depressed ke. But that girl aaa..as if she doesn’t care. Tak nak kawan aku sudah.. ramai lagik org aku bley kawan ok?

Multiple happiness!!!

2007-11-15T13:03:00.000+08:00

Mula2 kena syukur dan berterima kasih byk2... remember, jgn hepi2 sgt..

Mula2...

Semlm aku dpt interview... dunno if i shud put the company name here or not, better not lah eh.. cukup ler bagitau aku mmg nak sgt sgt sgt masuk tempat nih. So bila tau ada opening from kawan, aku terus hantar resume, and alhamdulillah dpt interview.

So semlm, borak punya borak.. they said kalau dpt, kena go thru HR punya interview plak. 1st round mcm ok.. tak tau their side mcm mana. hopefully.. dpt lah.. doa2kan lah ye?

Secondly..

UPSR punya result kuar hari ni. 10 am aku dah call kak ani.. she said result only dpt after 12 noon. so 10 minit to 12, aku dah panas bontot tak senang duduk. Then she called, she said alhamdullillah Fatin (my niece) and 2 of her frens yg tuition dgn aku dpt 5A!

Sonoknyer aku!!!!

Lega beb.... well.. aku tak ler attribute 100% of their success towards my effort.. of course, sekolah, mak bapak and diri sendiri lagi penting. but, adalah tempias2 sket2 kan kan kan.. after all my effort and time, tak salah kan kalau aku tumpang happy dgn kejayaan diorang?

**updated after 5 minutes**

u know.. the mother of one of the students personally sms me saying "thank you, without you my daughter tak mungkin dpt 5A"

perghhh... aku terharu tahap 15 ok.. nak nangis beb... mmg emo sakan hari ni.

i feel soo appreciated. but like i said.. bukan 100% usaha aku... budak tu pun aku nampak effort dia bersungguh2. ye la.. awal tahun dulu, math asyik B, sains asyik C. tup tup upsr dpt 5A beb! sapa tak happy...rasa mcm nak pi peluk diorang!

Who's the boss?

2007-11-06T15:29:00.000+08:00

My toe is slowly recovering, tqvm.

Last nite went to Pavillion (bley lagik jalan tuh), masuk Harvey Norman then Balqis sat on this chair kunun2 tgh tengok tv. Then I told her..

Me: Fullamak.. adik nampak mcm big boss lahh... cuba dancing sket..
Balqis: Mana boleh..boss don't dance!
Me: Oh..then what does a boss do?
Balqis: Ask people to do work
Me: Work like wat?
Balqis: Work like you do lah!!

ohhh..clever little girl.. kecik2 dah tahu jobscope boss!

u know.. our Mr Photographer.. is constantly curik attention Balqis. In the car, he will ask balqis, siapa balqis paling sayang, siapa lagi itu, siapa lagi ini, in which each question balqis will have to answer either mummy or daddy. So bila Balqis answer mummy.. he will say.."alaaa..i want to go home lah.." or "alaa.. i will go holiday alone lah..." and si balqis pun cepat2 answer.. "ehh.. takk..daddy.. daddy..."

chaisssss....

paling best Mr photographer cakap "saper nak ikut daddy pergi holiday tak leh kawan mummy" and balqis pun dgn bangga nya cakap.."ok..kita jgn kawan mummy kay?"

woooo..skang tak mo kawan mummy lah?? kunun...podahh..

hehehe.. but seriously.. both of them are so cute..

last saturday balqis keluar dgn abah nya.. and once she came back, terus dia melompat kat daddy nya and i heard she asked "are u sad?" the rest i did not hear, i'm assuming she asked the daddy if he misses her..

shweetttt eh?

Remember my wart?

2007-11-05T15:57:00.000+08:00

Today, I have successfully menyerah diri kepada doctor to remove my wart.

To those yg ada wart/corn.. my advice.. if those did not hurt.. just leave it. Coz the procedure nak remove them..is like.. urmm.. SAKIT GILA NAK MAMPUIHHHH..

I asked my sister, she said.."u burn pakai liquid nitrogen.. elehh.tak sakit.. anak aku pun dah pernah buat.." ooo ok. And I also asked the dr. here (nearby office). Initially he gave ubat itu ini, semua tak jalan, finally he himself said kena bakar then remove the akar.. not painful at all..

So today, aku pun pergi lah klinik, dgn bangganya cakap kat Dr nak remove wart. He said since ada 3 major area, he will do one by one. So he asked me to wait while they prepare the stuff.

The the nurse called me in, suruh baring atas katil. Then i heard the nurse prepare brg2. u know.. all the silver colored utensils they use in operating theater!!! ok.. time ni aku dah cuak.. i mean.. hey... kata tak sakit.. why u need all these??

Then Dr dtg, he said "yg sakit cuma nak inject the painkiller..other stuff tak sakit" and boy oh boy... i believed that old man...

Well.. u see.. i have medium tolerance towards sakit. I can tahan kalau cucuk sikit2 takat ambik darah kat tangan. But having the needle poking into your toe is sooooooo different!. Sakit sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt. Mcm nak kena tulang ok.

And the Dr kindly tried to distract my attention, asking where do i live lah.. how is that area lah.. podacitttt.. tak jalan la dr... still sakit ok.

Then after my toe dah rasa numb, dia start the burning process. Being so curious and gatal.. aku pun jenguk la camna dia buat.. terus kena marah nko.. dgn Dr pun marah.. dgn nurse pun marah suruh aku baring balik. iskk... kaki aku..suka hati lah kan?

Nampak ler asal berkepul2... rasa a little bit pressure.. tak sakit sgt.. then the Dr took the small scissors, start korek2 and pulling out the wart. Still ok...

Then agaknya belum kuar semua akar.. 2nd round of burning starts. Time ni kan kan kan.. agaknya the painkiller tu lasts for only 5 minit kot.. so i can feel the thing like.. errmm.. dunno how to describe ahh.. to disturbing to describe.. rasa cam sampai tulang.. i told the Dr... "Sakitt... sakit..." Dr said..sikit lagi... and took the scissors and korek my toe some more.. and finally he said.."ok..dah siap"

fuhhh..lega...

then the nurse start dressing the wound.. and i saw the cotton and tissue punya lah byk darah!! erkk.. So tomorrow i have to come again to change the dressing. Dr gave me 1/2 day MC today, but tak de guna pun..

After like few minutes kuar from klinik (belum sampai lif) dah terasa berdenyut2 sakit sampai ke pangkal peha. Nak jalan pun terhencut2. Seriously..tak tipu.. Aku rasa mcm nak call Mr Photographer suruh ambik time tu jugak.. apakan daya dia jauh nun di Cyberjaya.

So terhencut2 la aku berjalan balik ke ofis.. dgn muka nak nangis.. and u know wat.. along jalan Sultan Ismail( or was it Jalan P Ramle.. watever) tuh ada kereta berenti and asked me "dik...kenapa ni? sakit apa?" sbb yg berenti tu is a lady driver, and she looked nice, I answered nicely lah.. yada yada yada.. and she offered to send me back to ofis. uikksss..baik btul.. i declined nicely..since ofis pun dah dekat...(padahal mmg seksa nak jalan).. tumpang2 org tak kenal ni..bahaya la plak kan...susah hati Mr Photographer kang bini dia kena culik hehe

Planning to go off early..nak avoid rush hour.. Mr Photographer is fetching me jap lagik..

Till then.. doa2 ler kaki aku baik cepat..

Ehhhh!! Happy Birthday!

2007-11-02T16:06:00.000+08:00

I was waiting and waiting ler anxiously since semlm.. bila ler.. laki aku nak wish aku ni kannn…

Aku siap announce kat balqis.. “Birthday mama adik nak kasik apa?” And si comel tu pun ambik one of the teddy bear and gave me for birthday present.. hehehe.

Sampai ler mlm.. tak de bunyik apa2 pon.. kak ani jer sms wish me hepi besday.

Iskk..tensen.. aku dah mula plan nak buat action merajuk mcm mana… muahahhaha

Pagi ni..lepas solat subuh.. still dia buat dek…

Aku dok pk.. dia ni mmg tak kisah ke… or lupa ke…

And aku pun ligat kepala otak memikirkan action plan nak merajuk…

Sekalik tuh dia cakap..

“Ehhhhh… Happy Birthday!!”

U know.. like ehh.. baru teringat hari ni birthday u ek??

Dgn gelak kuakaukaukaua nyer tu…

Sabo jer la kan… grrrrrr…

I told him.. “hmmphhh.. ingat pun.. I baru plan nak majuk mcm mana…”

And aku pun gelak kuakaukauakua dgn dia.. tak jadi la plak nak majuk…

He said since I got new hp so no besday present for the next 5 years..

Yer la labu… untung2 next year tepon ni rosak leh beli hp baru lagi kan kan kan..

Pas tu specs yg aku pakai ni pun dah mcm blur2…

Pas tu mcm teringin nak beli contact lense disposable plak..

Pas tu kain beli byk haritu lom buat2 lagik kan kan kan..

Isk isk.. camner nih… kuikuikui..

Well anyway…

Thanks to all my frens for your sweet wishes.. yg belanja aku makan, yg taruk dedicated post for me.. time kasih…time kasih… tahun depan buat lagi mueheheheh

p/s - hari aku nak hepi2 ni la ada lagik org yg suka bagi aku sakit hati. pagi2 dah kasik aku hangin. grow up la ok???

Macam macam konot.

2007-11-01T15:58:00.000+08:00

Tahniah..

Buat Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor atas kejayaannya sebagai angkawasan negara pertama dan menjayakan misi diangkasa lepas. We are proud of you!

At the same time..

Takziah buat beliau and family atas permergian adiknya Sheikh Mustafa kerahmatullah. Semoga mereka sekeluarga tabah menghadapi ujian, dan semoga roh arwah dicucuri rahmat.

Terkejut… tu jer yg aku boleh gambarkan perasaan time baca dlm paper pasal this news. Life is so…. hmmm.. strange…unexpected.. u’ll never know what will happen next.

Kids..

Monday, I witnessed a 2 y.o girl fell down from a height of about 2-3 meters. It was HORRIFYING!!! Until today I kenot get the image of her falling down out of my mind. It was in Giant Kelana Jaya, I brought balqis to main2 in the indoor playground (dutch lady punya playground). Situ slide semua tinggi2. Balqis dgn berani and seronoknya naik semua.

Somehow, maybe ramai sgt budak2 atas tu, maybe they were pushing each other, suddenly I heard a mother yelling, calling the kid.. when I turned around, I saw this girl at the very edge of the thing.. and within split second, she fell…

Both the mother and I menjerit bagai nak gila….

Luckily, however, in playground the lantai is lapik with rubber, still.. 2 year old jatuh bedebuk camtuh ok…

The mother cepat2 ran and dukung the kid, and I, cepat2 panggil Balqis turun sekarang jugak… Few minutes after, I saw the kid stopped crying oredi. I prayed hard, so that the kid is okay.

And next day, I received email from a friend. Her 3 year old son was playing buai with the maid, and dunno wat happened, the kid fell and broke the tulang peha. Not only patah mind u, the patah part is almost crushed!! Hancur!!

Best thing is, the maid did not inform my fren wat happened, until my fren saw her son’s leg bengkak, and when touched, the boy was screaming hysterically. After weeks in hospital, Dr said that the bone might not tumbuh balik, and the leg might be one side shorter.

Kesian kan?

I kenot imagine what the mother felt. Baca her story pun I kenot tahan. 3 year old boy.. what la he knows… kesian…

Lucky?

Remembet my maid was suspected denggi? And how frustrated I am had to deal with govt hospitals? Well it made me thought. How lucky I am ek. To be blessed with what I have now. Specifically..work and the benefits. Some people still have to seek medication from govt clinic or hospitals, hv no choice but to tahan the bad treatment from the staff.

Me? I am grateful, that I have choice. Syukur dgn apa yg aku ada.. couldn’t ask for more..

“We deserve 30%” , “Banks Rob Our Bonus”

Ever saw org pakai tag ni..

I’m sure u all pernah nampak. Basically Bank’s union staff wear these tag to show their protest for not receiving byk bonus.

Wat u all think?

I think its un-clever..hehe..hillarious.. aperda.. u work in the bank, u wear the staff tag, and yet u sangkut the badge kat your staff tag. It’s like u are telling the world u hate your employer, but u are still working for them.

Malu lah aku rasa…

I think.. if you don’t like the bonus.. get another job lah.. mana bley paksa2 employer bayar bonus byk2.. and if u still don’t like your employer.. jgn la pakai badge tu.. go create a blog and membebel there ok?

Esok birthday aku lahh..

Apa ye nak kasik kat diri sendiri?

I want…
- to go spa…urut, lulur, mandi manda etc..bestnyer…
- tengok wayang.. hv not done so for few mths!! Lama sih tak tgk wayang..
- get a liposuction

Ye lah konot.. sudah2 la berangan..

Ada org nak kawin esok…yeay yeay…

Selamat Pengantin Baru Siti Zurina!

Denggi!!!

2007-10-31T12:30:00.000+08:00

Last Tuesday, maid ngadu headache. So I gave her painkiller. After work, she said she has fever. So I gave her both ubat demam and painkiller. Esoknya, belum baik, so brought her to clinic.

On Friday, demam belum surut2.. brought to clinic again, Dr buat blood test, kasik jab painkiller yg power sket, and kasik antibiotics. Esoknyer kan aku ke penang.. I asked maid to call me just in case any emergency.

Klinik called and informed the white blood cell count was low, so kena bawak balik check. Lepas balik on Sunday, maid said the fever is gone, headache also gone, Cuma gatal2 mcm naik ruam satu badan… uiksss..cam denggi beb..

On Monday, we brought her to clinic again, Dr tengok symptom mcm bukan denggi, but as precaution, buat another blood test. Dr suspect the ruam2 is caused by allergy by the antibiotics.

Tuesday, clinic called and informed white blood cell count is dropping…admit dgn segera!!!

Owwww noooooo…

Tanya HKL, rupanya they charge foreigners much much more expensive than us Malaysians. Apa nak buat..tu jer la pun yg paling murah.

So semlm, we went to HKL.

Hmmmmmmmmmm….. perlu ke aku explain further pasal HKL?

Camni la… mula2 kat kaunter pendaftaran tu jer dah tahpahapa..

I was being friendly.. Tanya elok2..

“ramai org tak dik? Lama ke tunggu?”

And the girl answered dgn muka muka nye sekali…

“ramai tu tak lerrrrrrrrr… tapi kang cakap tak lama kangggg..susah la plak kannnnnnnnnn”

Hek elehhhhh…. Tenyeh muka kang baru tahu… eksyen… podahhhh

So we followed la the procedure in government hospital, which takes like urmmm.. 2 hours?? Lebih kurang la…. Pergi sana sini,.. tunggu,…masuk bilik itu ini..

And finally the Dr (thank God very friendly and pleasant looking) confirm the blood count dah increase.. so tak payah admit..

Fuh lega bebbbb

Kalau x mana aku nak cekau duit nak bayo bil spital?

Since maid was sick… Balqis aku hantar ke rumah kak ani.. tak mo la plak jangkit kan? Dah 2 hari ponteng sekolah nih.. InsyaAllah kalau esok dah baik.. baru ler aku berani tinggal balqis dgn maid.

Penang trip

2007-10-30T12:13:00.000+08:00

As planned, last weekend we went to Penang for a short break. Alhamdulillah, all 3 of us sihat and fit for the trip.

Friday nite

After work went back to Subang. Visit rumah sedara, then balik tido… esok pagi kena bangun awal kan? :)

Saturday morning..

Jam dah set kol 4 pagi.. bangun mandi siap2, then kejut balqis. Sekali kejut jer dah bangun.. fuhh.. tak pernah nyer mcm ni.. punya la excited nak pergi penang. At 5.30 am, kitorang gerak ke LCCT. Dlm kereta, I asked balqis to tidur dulu sbb jauh lagi. Excited punya pasal.. dia insist tak nak tido. Sampai airport, check in, then terus masuk while waiting departure time kol 6.45.

Nak naik plane, I guess sumerang tahu siapa yg paling excited. Menjerit, bersorak2 kegumbiraan dia.. heheh..jakun..tapi 1st time..kasik chan la nak jakun2 sket.. terpaksa lah mummy daddy dia control muka macho. :P Plane dah selamat terbang kat atas, she still asked me.. “ma.. are we still on the road?” iskk.. konfius btul budak nih..

Sampai Penang about 8 am. We had plan earlier to travel within penang by bus since they hv rapid penang there. So upon arriving at Bayan Lepas airport, we walked to the nearest bus stop and waited for bus to Georgetown.

Aku rasa mcm mat saleh punya tourist ok hehehe.. dgn backpacknyer, dgn anak dlm stroller..pas tu jalan kaki..kuikuikui…

And I feel so different.. everybody around me is talking in penang dialect.. rasa mcm dok kat rumah. I think last time I went back to my kampong in nibong tebal was few years back.

Sampai Georgetown dlm 9am ++, and guess wat was the first thing we all tuju??

Yeshhh..nasi kandar line clear!!!

I dunno lah.. according to John and Mr Photographer, Nasi Kandar Line Clear ni satu kemestian kalau dtg Penang. So pagi2 buta tu we had nasi kandar for breakfast.. :)

Lepas makan, we jalan2 around bandar, masuk kedai, kuar kedai, masuk kedai kuar kedai. Sampai ler kol 12 ++, we headed to bus stop and tunggu bas nak pi Batu Feringhi.

Sampai Batu Feringhi around 1++, bilik belum siap, so we went to kedai makan across the road for lunch (makan lagik).

Masuk bilik, sbb penat sgt (bangun kol 4 and jalan non stop ok) terus tuju katil. Tapi si kecik tu overly excited. Aku suruh tido tak mau tido.. I told her..”ok..mama nak tidur.. u watch tv yourself kay” She said ok.. but heh.. every 3 minutes she will call me..nak susu lah.. nak kencing lah.. nak makan lah..itu lah..ini lah..

Serupa tak payah tido kan?

Since kat luar panas lagik, so aku ajak balqis main air dlm bathtub. Sonok ler dia..kat rumah tak de tub kan.. sibuk ler dok main slide and splash air merata sampai pintu masuk basah ok…

Ptg tuh John, wife and daughter, qistina came over. Went jalan2 kat taman bunga. Ramai sungguh org ber rekreasi, and byk sungguh monyet!! Pandai plak tuh monyet attack org yg ada makanan.

Time nak balik, we bought ice cream for the kids, and guess wat.. tgh syok2 makan.. adalah sekor monyet ni dtg dekat and dekat, dgn muka bengisnyer.. and aku pun cuak ler kan… dok trying to protect balqis since she was holding the icecream. Monyet tu tak de nampak tanda2 nak berundur pun.. aku pun panic.. without thinking, I just grab the ice cream from tgn balqis and campak kat monyet tuh..

So the monyet lari away with the ice cream, and my balqis crying loudly!! Aku ingat balqis nangis pasal takut monyet…rupa2nya dia nak ice cream tuh.. notty ek monyet tuh ambik ice cream adik? Sian anak aku..berebut ice cream dgn monyet :P

Lepas taman bunga, john bawak we all ke seberang makan Char Kuey Teow. Sedap sgt sgt ok. John cakap ada tempat yg lagi sedap, uiks… I dunno how sedap that one is..yg kitorang makan ni pun sedap gilos..balqis mmg suka makan kuey teow, but without the sayur and the udang, kerang etc. Qistina plak suka makan udang.. so eloklah korang 2 org..sorang makan kuey teow, sorang ratah udang..

Mlm balik ke BF naik feri. Again, anak aku menunjukkan kejakunannya by jumping and screaming in excitement. Heheh.. anak sapa tuhhh??

Sampai hotel, kebetulan area tuh mmg ada pasar mlm.. so we all terus berjalan lagi masuk kuar kedai, sampai lah kaki masing2 mcm nak tercabut, baru ler balik bilik lelap terus sampai pagi tak sedar2..

On Sunday..

Bangun pagi tgk2 hujan ler plak.. terpaksa lah kensel plan nak mandi pool, so dlm 8.30 camtuh we went for bfast kat hotel. Sib baik they don’t charge for below 5 y.o, pasal balqis only eat like RM0.50 jer kot worth. Mak bapak dia yg mentekedarah hehehe. Si balqis 4-5 kali tanya.. “tak sudah makan lagi ke ma? can we go back to our room now?” to which I wud reply.. “sabar… byk lagi benda nak makan..” :P

Dlm kol 11++ camtuh we checked out. Tunggu bas ke Georgetown. The driver I tell u.. mcm nak bawak lumba haram.. ada ke jalan kat area BF tu dia bawak sket punya laju? U know lah jalan area pantai ni berselekoh.. kiri kanan tangan we all pegang sana sini, takut terpelanting.. shud’ve ambik no bas and buat aduan ek?

Sampai geortgetown, ambik bas ke airport plan, kol 1++ baru bas jln and we arrived airport dlm 1.30. We had lunch, then check in. Our flight was at 4.05pm.

Sampai LCCT kol 5, terus balik Subang. After maghrib, went to open house in Shah Alam, makan nasi beriani, and then to rumah sedara in Kota Kemuning, makan again (nasi beriani again), then kol 11++ camtu baru sampai rumah…

Fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Camner nak kurus? Seriously..aku tgk muka aku dlm cermin, hmm.. cermin pun dah tak muat nak tampung muka aku

Then semalam.. (Monday) I was on MC one day. So today lah baru dpt update blog.

Gambar? Mr photographer blum siapkan.. but u can view some photo taken by John at his blog.

Overall..

We enjoyed this trip. Balqis enjoyed the most. Berbaloi lah miss her concert :P

Cuti cuti

2007-10-24T13:39:00.000+08:00

So we are going to Penang for cuti2 malaysia this weekend. And u know wat.. the whole family is having flu, and my maid is having very bad fever.

This is sooooo not the time to get sick ok?

Last nite aku sumbat jugak si Balqis makan ubat flu and demam.. jgn ler sakit nak pi jalan.. dah la tak pergi concert sbb nak pi Penang, ni sakit plak.. aiyohh.tak enjoy la jalan nanti… moga2 sumerang cepat lah sembuh!!

Talking about concert..

I tot, I had agreed with the teachers to let her continue practicing the dancing performance sbb teacher will let her perform again during end of the year school party. Last Monday she told me.

“Ma, adik kat sekolah tak belajar pun.. ada dancing ajerr…”

I asked “best ke dancing?”
She said “adik tak dancing pun… cikgu kata tak payah…”
I said “lahh.. habis tu adik buat apa?”
She replied “ adik duduk tengok ajer la…”

Aiseyy.. kesian ok anak aku…

So I called the teacher… but aku tak marah ler.. the principle also tergezut, coz she intends to include balqis in every practice, coz end of the year party she is choosing balqis punya performance. She said, she will tell the class teacher again to include balqis in the practice.

So okay lah..

On Tuesday.. again balqis said she did not practice.. aiik.. awat plak lagu nih? (tapi dlm hati cam ada doubt sket.. betul ke tak practice, or anak aku yg exaggerate, or dia auta aku)

So today (rehearsal day), I went to see the class teacher. Teacher yati kata balqis mmg join dancing and even for today’s rehearsal. Cuma tak sure if can give her baju awal2 coz since dia tak join concert, kawan dia akan replace dia during the show. So kawan dia will need to pakai her costume. So camno nak bagi baju kat balqis awal2 kan?

Tapi kalau tak kasik, sian pulok nanti sumerang dpt baju, dia sorang x dpt.. I told the teacher if can give better lah..but if kenot u just tell her elok2 that the friend will pinjam first and will give to her later..

Si Balqis ni normally kalau kita cakap elok2 dgn dia.. Insya Allah dia ok.. urmm.. well.. sometimes lah.. heheh. Kdg2 kalau time hangin dia tuh.. cakap cemaner pun tak jalan.. kena ugut kurung dlm bilik baru jalan :P

Speaking of that…

Kan kitorang pergi IKEA last Saturday. Si kecik tu byk la plak pe-el. Nak itu ini..merengek sakan. So sampai kat tempat nak check-out bawah tuh..kan ada tempat storage byk kotak2 tuh kan.. I told her..

“Tgk kotak2 atas tuh.. budak2 yg notty2.. suka merengek..tak mo dgr cakap mama dia.. nanti org pakai baju kuning tuh ambik, bawak masuk dlm kotak.. habis mama dgn daddy dia shopping..baru ambik balik…”

Dgn muka cuak dia reply “ haa.. betul ke ma?”

I said “betulla… cuba adik tgk tuh” (ada sorang mak dgn budak tgh cakap dgn org ikea). “Budak tuh kena masuk dlm kotak la tuh… notty sgt.. tu mama dia tgh cakap dgn org pakai baju kuning tuh… nak masuk jugak ke?”

She yelled..“TAK NAKKKK!!!!”

Muahahah.. so I said .“kalau tak nak.. buat perangai elok2…senyum sket..diam2 tau!”

Sian anak aku kena tipu…. But surprisingly dia behave so baik..muka pun tak sudah2 senyum.. muahahhahahahah

Dah balik kerja?

2007-10-22T11:34:00.000+08:00

Life dah balik to routine..

Maid is back.

YEABADABADOOOOOOO...

heheh.. no lah.. tak de la seronot sgt pun. dah start pening kena fikir pe-el dia balik.. me and hubby was kindda preparing backup plan, just in case maid tak balik..then how? siapa nak jaga balqis? now that she's back, ok lah. tak yah fikir lagi. but both of us are seriously thinking of some kind of perubahan soon.. soon lah..kena fikir masak2 and bincang dgn mak ayah dulu..

Weekend..

Was spent jalan jalan, raya raya, shopping shopping. Went to IKEA last saturday. Bought pinggan mangkuk 2 sets.. yes.. 2 ketul for each pinggan mangkuk and cawan, specially for me and Mr Photographer. (Balqis has her own pinggan mangkuk set oredi). Saja lah..beli set baru.. dah duduk rumah mak bapak ni, semua dah ada, teringin jugak nak beli benda2 sendiri.

After bayar, tiba2 terdengar footsteps org dok berlari2 towards me. and bahu aku disapa from belakang.. tgk2.. eh ehhhh... Cik Pijah rupe nyer!!! Lepas tu Inn pun dtg sekalik...then Agus pun ada sekalik.. Dating eh korang bertiga? :) Lama sungguh tak jumpa Cik Pijah.. last time kat PPP kot ek? dok tgk gambar kat blog jer selalu. Inn ada lah jugak i met few times kat klcc.. Agus plak dtg time wedding harituh..

Apsal korang sumer kurus2 and lawa2 eh? tak aci tauuu...

Sunday morning gi ambik maid kat LCCT. Lunch pergi rumah Kamalia kat Shah Alam. I have to say.. her house is sooooooo nice!! patutlah her daughter ayesha cakap "Bestkan kehidupan kita sekarang.." hehe.. pandainya budak tuh.. btw Lia.. your bihun sup utara sedap ahh.. kasik resepi bley?

Petang we just went back home and sleeeeppp.. Kepala aku pening berdenyut2 ya ampun.. prob. weather panas sgt2 and kejap2 hujan. Mlm after maghrib kepala dah better after taking pain killer, so we went to abg man's house pulak beraya.

Mlm ni,

Nak pergi rumah cousin pulak beraya.. aiyohh..makan again.

I need serious help.. muka aku mcm tempayan dah rasanya...badan pun dah mengembang.. i blame it on the ketupat rendang lemang and kuih raya!!!

Our Raya

2007-10-16T22:03:00.001+08:00

Let’s see…how do I summarize my raya this year?

I believe.. hmmm.. MAKAN suits the best!! Heheh

Seriously.. kain baju ofis aku dah ketat!

Ok ok…

So on Thursday..

Bangun pagi, me, Mr Photographer and Balqis went to Carrefour for raya shopping. Penuh satu troli of barang2 dapur! Balik rumah, kemas dapur, then project memasak stage 1 dimulakan.

(Stage 1: blender/tumbuk/potong semua brg2 keperluan like bawang, cili, kacang, ayam, serai, halia, udang kering etc)

Siap stage 1, ayah pulak masak utk berbuka. Dia buat mee kuah-tak-tau-nama. Bolehlah tahan.. siap masuk jus oren tuh dlm kuah.. sabo jer la…tahpahapa resepi dia masuk. Kalau korang nak tau, ayah aku mmg pandai masak. Our family punya feveret is beef steak. Dah lama dia tak buat.. hmmm.. teringin la plak..

So lepas berbuka, project masak stage 2 dimulakan.

(Stage 2: masak rendang ayam and kuah kacang)

Ni mak aku ler yg buat mostly.. time ni aku sambil2 kemas dapur dah.. tolong2 kacau and rasa sikit2 ader la ehhe.. Siap rendang and kuah kacang.. pack masuk plastic container, masuk freezer! So bila org dtg, kuarkan and masuk microwave jer.. senang ek?

Then on Friday..

Bangun pagi.. aku start mengemas rumah. Sapu lantai, sapu habuk, mop lantai. Sib baik rumah kecik I tell u.. rumah melawati kalau.. mmg aku upah org la kemas…

Sambil2 kemas rumah, project masak finale stage 3

(Stage 3: rebus ketupat jer pun..)

Aku prepare masak siap2 bukan apa.. sbb nanti ptg jumaat sampai raya aku balik rumah mertua.. so kesian la plak mak aku tinggal sorang2 kan.. baik ler aku siap2kan sumer, nak balik rumah mertua pun senang hati.

Dah setel semua… kitorang pun balik Subang…tengahari tuh..

After Friday prayers, me and Mr Photographer gi pusara arwah abah dia. Ni project bersihkan pusara pulak. Went to Sunway, beli rumput, then terus bersihkan pusara, ganti rumput baru, bersihkan apa yg patut, etc. Perghh.. mencabar jugak kerja nih.. ku ingatkan senang.. Nampak sgt ler aku tak fit.. Mr Photographer pun sakit jiwa tgk aku potong rumput terhegeh2..heheh… sorie beb..

Kat rumak MIL, rendang and juadah berbuka dah siap masak. So tak der la sibuk sgt kat dapur. Mlm raya tuh sbb dah tak de keje nak buat kitorang gi makan A&W kat PJ muakakakakka… syiok jugak minum float and makan waffle mlm raya ek?

So on Pagi Raya…

Since aku, adik2 ipar semua bulan mengambang.. so MIL dgn Mr Photographer jer la yg pergi solat raya. Lepas balik solat we all bergambar2.. then terus gerak ke rumah sedara di Shah Alam..

Lepas tuh, gi rumah mak aku kat Danau Kota plak.. Bergambar2 lagik.. lepak2 sat.. lepas zohor gerak ke Melaka (rumah sedara mara in law)

Jem ya ampun.. 3 jam ++ dlm kereta.. sabo jer la…

Kat Melaka, ada la dlm 5 rumah we all singgah.. and mind you, semua prepare juadah yg heavy.. bukan takat minum air and makan kuih ok.. sampai perut aku nak pecah.. the last house in Melaka served nasi beriani. The whole family dok canang kat aku betapa sedapnya nasi nih since forever, so bila dah sampai sini takkan tak nak makan kan?

Senang citer, sedara mara kat Melaka mmg pandai2 masak belaka.. (or is it org Melaka pandai masak?)

The last house was at seremban at 10 pm.. sampai rumah subang balik at 12 midnite. Masa ni rasa cam bukan jer perut, but the whole body nak meletup…

On 2nd day of raya..

Bangun pagi nak prepare masak2 coz my family is coming over to MIL’s house. Selesai diorang dtg beraya, kitorang sekali ikut rombongan pergi beraya rumah family belah aku plak..

Hari ni, kitorang pergi lebih kurang 4 rumah. Makan pun heavy jugak. Sampai balik rumah Danau kota around 5 pm, semua pakat terlentang kepenatan.

Kain baju aku yg tak berbasuh dah berkodi2.. niat dihati nak hantar dobi jer.. nak sidai pun dah tak der tempat kat rumah aku yg sekangkang kera tuh.. (plus malas & penat nak menguruskan kain baju)

Tapi tah mcm mana.. basuh jer la kat rumah.. kiri kanan depan belakang aku sidai.. habis rumah tu jadi mcm kedai dobi muahahahah

Mlm tu we just had dinner ala kadar. Roti dgn serunding.. yum yum..

Next day (3rd raya)

Bangun pagi.. bebudak and kak mi terjun swimming pool. While aku , mak and ayah sibuk masak lunch. Ayah wanted to masak udang for lunch. Udang galah ke harimau ke I oso dunno apa nama.. but besau2 ya ampun.. ayah masak kuah cam sweet and sour.. and maid kak mi buat ikan siakap stim for lunch.. best…best..

Then after lunch me, mr photographer, kak mi and all the budak2 gi jalan2…

KITORANG NAIK EYE ON MALAYSIA!!!!

Akhirnya impian aku nak naik tercapai jua!!

Well.. ader la beberapa org yg takut kan kan kan.. (nama tak leh reveal atas sbb2 tertentu muahahahahhah) tapi diberanikan diri naik jugak sbb the whole family plus Balqis pun berani naik kan!!

Balqis siap cakap “Saper naik jatuh kolam mati??”

Huishh..aperda budak nih!!

Petang after asar, kitorang bertolak balik ke subang, tidor sana coz pagi2 esoknya Mr Photographer nak hantar MIL and adik2 ipar gi LCCT.

So on raya ke 4

Aku gi keje from Subang.. and ptg ni balik ke Danau Kota. Kak ani & Kak mi & family dah balik johor beraya kat sana for a week. Maid will be back this Sunday.

Till then, Mr Photographer and mak aku ler yg tolong jaga balqis.

Ohhh. Forgot to mention that Balqis dah potong rambut.. :) She looks super duper comel in short hair. Plus, it’s more kemas, and kutu free, and senang nak manage.

Gituler citer raya we all. I had fun, we all had fun. (mana tak fun asyik makan mcm kobauuu).

Balqis had the most-est fun. Was a bit worried takut dia tak suka balik kampong (mana pernah balik kg). But she had the best-est time at Melaka.. makan tak hingat.. org hidang ketupat, dgn muka toya dia mintak “ada nasik tak??” muahahah… sib baik tak mintak tambah..

Duit raya plak.. memula dpt dia mcm pelik..siap tolak tuh.. iskk… terpaksa la mak dia yg muka tak malu ambik simpankan hehehe.. 2nd time dpt.. she said “eh..kan dah dpt dah tadi?” lerr.. haru…

3rd time.. dia dgn muka toya gi mintak kat adik ipar aku..”mana duit raya?” muahahah.. maybe dia expect lepas salam raya mesti dpt duit raya..ok tak per.. improving.. sib baik dgn adik ipar aku.. kalau dgn org lain lagi haru..

So terpaksa la aku explain.. “time raya sometimes org bagi duit raya.. kalau org kasik, ambik, say TQ.. kalau org tak kasik..its ok.. jgn mintak..”

Oraits…sib baik dia paham..

Time salam suami.. aku cam terharu and sebak pun ader sket.. ye la.. dah emo tu emo la jugak kan… tapi tahan jugak air mata.. kang start kuar air mata payah nak stop.. drama plak pagi2 raya.. (plus rosak aaa mascara aku muahahhahaha) hehe.. Maaf Zahir Batin bebeh… I lap u!

And I kindda like our raya arrangement after getting married nih.. we both get what we wanted. Preparation, pagi raya, jalan rumah sedara semua dpt sama rata. Mmg kebetulan family dia pergi jalan on raya 1st, family aku pulak pergi jalan on raya 2nd. So we get to jalan on both days (and I don’t hv to stay home buat air and and layan org on both days muakakakakka)

I so want to buat open house.. but my house in unfortunately so comel.. kenot accommodate ramai2.. so u all.. my house is always open.. dtg jer lah ye.. but do call me first ya?

Tak suka tauuuuuu

2007-10-16T11:00:00.000+08:00

orang tgh sibuk beraya.. aku dah start kerja :( tak per la.. sbb baru masuk kerja, org lain semua dah book cuti, aku kerja jer la...

i am so not in raya mood now.. thanks to my lady boss! hmpphh!!!

Post before raya

2007-10-10T12:46:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow I’ll be on leave, next Tuesday balik kerja.. I tot, kerja time org cuti rilek la sket.. but I forgot I’m working with a Chinese company..hehe.. so next week is full of meetings!! Tak per.. we’ll think of that next week.

I got new handphone (senyum lebar sampai telinga)…

Semlm on his way back from work he called me..”Ada kawan I bagi hadiah kawin lah..” “Oh really?” I responded… okaylah..nice.. When I arrived home.. Mr Photographer mintak stapler… disebabkan aku tgh busy masak.. I did not ask what is it for..

Lepas buka, he said “I nak gi ambik hadiah tu kejap, dlm kereta..” Then he gave the hadiah to me..

“Eh cantiknya wrapping dia!!” I said.. “pakai stapler jer ek?.. cepatlah bukak!”

He said “u bukak lah..”

So aku pun bukak…

And tadaaaaaaaaa.. I saw SONY ERICSSON punya sign!!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Words kenot describe how happy I am.. and how excited nya aku menjerit and melompat kegembiraan.. sampai si Balqis cakap “Mummy.. pls stop laughing!!”

Time kasih daun keladi ye Mr Photographer… I lap u!!

Thing is.. I am happy that I got new handphone.. but what makes me even happier is that my husband’s effort to surprise me.. and this is not the first time.

I remember when he gave me wrist watch.. he said it’s a complimentary gift from his company, and ask me to open the gift. Upon opening, I saw the watch.. and I said .”huihh.. jam!! Bagi I bleh? Lagipun ni jam utk pompuan la..” (yes.. I am thaaaattt slow…)

Hehe.. surprise tak jadik sbb aku slow sgt.. so dia pun cakap dgn nada bengang.. “I laaaa yg bagi hadiah tuhhh!!!!”

Ohhh!! Waaaaa!!!!!! (baru mode terkejut and happy muahahahhahaha)

************************************************

Would like to wish all of you.

Pic was taken during raya last year.

Since ramai sgt yg ngadu sedih sgt post aku yg sebelum nih, so mari kita tukar ke happy mode plak ek?

Aper la korang…aku nak syahdu sket pun pakat dok sedih sumerang.. hehh…

I’m thinking of potong pendek rambut balqis. Memang ler sayang, but leceh la nak bela rambut panjang budak2 nih.. her hair get tangled EASILY, and the kutu problem keeps on coming. Tah mana plak jangkit…

Tot of potong sendiri.. but she insisted nak potong kat kedai.. pergh..demand ye kamu? Sib baik tak demand mintak pergi potong kat salon mahal2.. kedai RM7 kat melawati tu cukup lah ye…

Adehh..nak pk apa nak tulis pun tak bley.. aku ngantuk tahap gaban aaaa… problem sungguh this ngantuk thing.. semlm dlm tren tido sampai terbabas stesen dang wangi, hari ni terbabas sampai kg baru… tak tau la mcm mana rupa aku tido dlm tren.. jgn ada org ambik gambar sebar dlm internet sudah.. muahauahhau.. aku saman karang!!

Hari ni balqis ponteng sekolah. My parents are around, semalam after school they picked her up then brought her to their office. Suka lah si kecik tu, staff2 kat sana semua rajin melayan dia. Balqis even told one of the staff "Adik kan..sebenarnya suka dtg ofis dgn tok (my mom), adik bukan suka sgt duduk rumah dgn kakak (maid), kalau boleh tiap2 hari adik nak dtg ofis!"

Too bad for her, my parents are only in KL on weekends. Weekdays they'll be in Taiping. Weekends plak we all balik Subang.. so jarang lah dpt sent time. These 2 weeks, mmg balas dendam rindu lah si balqis dgn tok and tok wan. Pagi2 tadi dia mintak "nak tidur dgn tok lagi 5 minit, mama pergi ofis dulu, nanti tok hantar adik ok?" Sampai ofis jer Balqis called me "Ma... adik mcm demam sikit lah.. adik tak pergi sekolah lah ye?" heheh iye lah tu..pandai plak dia justify.

Semalam dia solat terawih full. Bagus eh.. moga2 next year dah boleh start puasa sikit2.. Insya Allah..

Apa ye nak update?

2007-10-04T13:57:00.000+08:00

lately mcm busy aaahh.. kat ofis duduk jer kena buat itu ini...gi solat, gi toilet, gi tidur (muahahahah), pas tu balik. work is being more and more challenging. dah start meeting business users, define their requirement, understand their business, their application etc. tapi tak per, i take this as challenge. org lain bleh buat takkan aku tak leh kot ek? takkan nak dok nganga update blog tiap2 hari ye dak?

*****************************************************
the vendor here is getting more and more irresponsible. kalau kena dgn aku yg baik hati and tak reti argue ni.. ok lah.. i will say my disagreement nicely. tapi..kena dgn our PMO yg nasty.. mmg silap2 kena maki hamun. i tell u working here mmg kecut perut. tu pun bukan kita sendiri yg kena maki hamun. i cannot imagine kalau aku yg kena mcm tuh..

*****************************************************
my project masak is improving. last 2 days masak nasi minyak and ayam merah. sedap u all.. serious tak tipu. raya tolong lah dtg rumah aku suruh aku masak nasi minyak ek? muahahahahah. pas tu nak dtg lagi sekali suruh aku masak nasi ayam pun bleh..muaahhahaha
aku hepi sgt pasal selama almost 30 tahun hidup never have i tot i could ever cook! paling terer pun dulu nasi goreng..nasi goreng..and nasi goreng. ye la.. dulu even daun bawang and daun kucai pun aku konfius kan? lengkuas dgn halia jgn citer aaa..tak kenal mana satu yg mana. (tapi pls dun ask me nama2 ikan.. ikan bilis aku kenal la... yg lain fail!!!)

****************************************************
maid is going back to indon esok. cuti raya for 2 weeks. nasib baik mr photographer ada.. he will take care of balqis since i will only take leave 2 days b4 raya. so u all..kalau nak dtg raya rumah..kasik notice awal2 so i can prepare apa2.. idak makan kuih raya jer la.. tu pun kalau kuih raya sempat survive sampai raya.. :)

Anak2 sapa nih??

2007-10-02T20:38:00.000+08:00

ni la anak teruna farah and ayu.. yg atas tu taufiq, yg bawah tu adam.

taken during our mini reunion few mths ago.

photos taken and edited by my one and only Mr Photographer.

I miss yesterday

2007-10-02T13:07:00.001+08:00

I took MC semlm. not that I was really sick, more like super duper hyper 80% PENAT and 20% MALAS. (ermm.. ok lets make it 50-50 heheh). So I get to send balqis to school, pick her up, masak her feveret kuey teow goreng for her lunch, and get to spend time with balqis and Mr Photographer the whole evening cari baju raya. (pelik ek somehow penat aku hilang tiba2 hehehhheh)

So on Sunday,

me and Mr Photographer went to jalan TAR to shopping raya. And now.. I have one new resolution…

AKU TAK MO PI DAH JALAN TAR!!!

Ish ish ish… ramainya org..ramai sgt sgt sgt… and panas sgt sgt sgt…Tak tahan beb..and murah pun.. well..tak der la murah sgt..

TAPI

Sebab baju raya aku tahun ni lawa sgt sgt sgt.. so kira berbaloi jugak la meredah lautan manusia di tgh2 panas tuh…

Our theme color is blue!!

Our intended color for baju pengantin is blue.. but somehow jadi hijau la plak.. so raya ni baju dpt jugak biru yg cantik..

And on Saturday..

I cooked NASI AYAM!! Wallauweyyy.. terer neyr aku muahahahhahhaha ok ok I know nasi ayam is nothing big..sumerang pandai..aku sorang jer terkedek2 baru nak belajar… but to masak nasi ayam and jamu the whole family (like more than 10 ppl) is a big achievement to me.. so sila beri tepukan gemuruh ye para hadirin sekalian ..

I literally paksa everyone to eat…heheh.. kang rugi beb tak abis.. sib baik sedap so sumerang makan dgn hati yg ikhlas..

Last nite..

Balqis dok belek2 mother’s day card that she gave me dulu.. and she took the flower, and the card, and gave then to me, and she said..

“Happy Mother’s day mommy… you are my greatest mom, thank you very much.. I love you very much! Forever and ever!!”

And she hugged and kissed me..

Auuuuuwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…. Soooooooo sweeeeeeeeeettt

I cried ok.. (I know.. I know.. emo) cair kejap ok..

Semlm dia ada exam. We asked her.. how was your exam? She said.. “It was FUN”
Perghh.. I guess the only time you will hear ppl say exam is fun is from a 4 yo girl.. hehehe

The past few days me and kak ani started but kuih oredi. Nak beli.. iskk..mahal beb.. RM20++ for 50 keping? Mahal..mahal… so we decided to joint venture buat sama2. lepas buka, me, balqis and mr photographer bertapa kat rumah kak ani sampai pukul 10 malam buat kuih.

Modal RM100 (split 2).. and now we oredi have 4 jenis kuih of about 300 pieces each. Tu belum masuk beberapa jenis kuih yg still belum buat.. jimat ek? I wonder how kaya all the people yg jual kuih. We (me and kak ani) even thought to selling kuih next year hehhehehe.. yea rite.. buat sendiri punya pun dah penat.. tak dpt la aku nak jual kuih..

After 4 nites in a row dok uli-cetak-tempek-bakar.. ponat sih... so mlm ni i told kak ani i am taking a break.. coz tonite me and mr photographer ada date buka puasa berdua :)

It's been a while since we went out berdua. So balqis mlm ni kasik chan mummy daddy dating eh?

So..if any of you dtg raya rumah aku.. don’t bother to go to kak ani’s house coz you will be served the same kuih.. :)

My heart is aching…

2007-09-26T15:39:00.000+08:00

..everytime I think about her…I just wish, there is something I could do to undo whatever that has happened. She didn’t deserve it. She was so innocent.

Everytime I think of her, I just told myself that it’s over. She is safe and sound with Allah s.w.t now. Al-fatihah to arwah adik nurin jazlin..

To her family, parents.. I pray that Allah s.w.t gives you strength and courage to face this test.

To others.. let’s pray for her family. Pls stop blaming the parents. They need our support now. It’s not their fault.

Concert vs penang part 2 (plus citer masak)

2007-09-20T11:56:00.000+08:00

I called the teacher yesterday. Told her balqis could not make it to the concert sbb dah book for holiday on that day.. and ada lah hint sket2..”I tot u said on the 3rd or 4th……” heheh

The teacher apologize sgt2… dia kata mmg dewan semua fully book. Ye la.. lepas raya, mesti sumerang sibuk kawin.. dewan penuh la kan.. the teacher cam disappointed coz balqis tak ada.. she said dah la class balqis only got 2 girls, now balqis tak de, lagilah mencacatkan the performance.. plus she also kesian kat balqis coz she has been practicing everyday.. and asked me if there is anyway I could reschedule my vacation.. tak dpt la kan?

So the teacher suggested..

"Mcm ni la.. how abt after raya, I will give the costumes to her.. let her try in school, make her happy.. "

Or…

"we are having annual birthday party in November, and normally I will choose one of the performance in concert to perform again during the party.. maybe I will choose her performance lah so she can perform this time.."

I said..

TENKIU VERY MUCH!! I REAAAAALLLYYY APPRECIATE THAT!!!

Now I feel soooo legaa..

Knowing that balqis has such a considerate teachers, and the fact that she can perform again.

Baiknya cikgu dia!! I seriously did not expect the teacher to suggest those, seriously.. after byk sgt incident dgn customer service yg sungguh tak memuaskan hati, I expected the teacher to just say “sorry.. tak bley buat apa2..” u know.... that kindda stuff.

But fact that the teacher pun rasa sedih balqis tak de and trying to find solution so she can perform, really really made me happy and respected the teacher and the school.

So.. this is what happen when u have a happy customer. They will do free marketing for you..hehehe..

Kalau u all tinggal anywhere nearby setapak/danau kota dan yg sewaktu.. hantar la anak2 ke tadika SBC (Sinar Bintang Ceria) ek.. no tepon 03 40219255. murah pun murah (100 per mth). Facility so and so lah.. jgn la expect tempat lawa cam tadika yg mahal2 tuh.. but ok lah.. reasonable dgn harga.

Pada aku semua ada.. with the price u pay.. anak2 terjaga, academic ok, ada sports, ada exams, ada activities, ada concert, ada field trip, etc.

Ok another side story..

Semalam aku masak again.. yeay!! And this time no supervisor around.. tapinyer.. errr...tak de la masak nasi minyak ke apa.. kuey teow goreng je pon.. tu pun.. errmm.. ada kertas resepi kat sebelah muahahahhaha ok ok jom gelak kat aku ramai2 muahahhahahahahha

Considering ni 1st time aku masak kuey teow goreng sendiri.. kira ok lah.. rasa sedap (dah ikut resepi sebijik2 kan…) but the kuey teow tu mcm lembik and pecah2 la plak.. hmm kena call supervisor aku tanya camne nak avoid jadik camtu lagik..

Mr photographer said it was ok (2 kali tambah time buka and another round of kuey teow for supper kira ok lah kan?) and balqis pulak.. my darling balqis.. i dunno dia puji ikhlas or ada udang sebalik batu... asyik2 cakap "eemmm... sedapnya kuey teow mama" ada la dekat 4 -5 kali dia mintak makan thru the nite. Sampai i hv to stop her coz takut byk sgt makan nanti muntah..

gambar tak de.. sbb mr photograher sibuk pergi beli kuih time aku tgh masak..

ptg ni plannyer nak masak jugak.. see how lah.. kalau jadik and menarik esok saya bagi laporan ye para hadirin :)

Concert vs Penang

2007-09-19T10:13:00.000+08:00

like others, balqis punya tadika will be having the annual concert. i called the teacher few weeks ago, asking when teh concert will be. shud be on 3rd, or 4th november. okaylah.. so we planned for vacation in penang on 27th and 28th of october. flight ticket and hotel are all booked.. setel!

yesterday the school kasik notice..

CONCERT WILL BE ON 28th OCTOBER.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

hangin

nyer

aku.

takkan nak cancel penang kan?

takkan nak skip concert plak?

takkan nak pergi penang tak bawak balqis?

abih camner?

somehow i feel like we have to skip the concert. the thought of it made me so sad. i almost cried. kesiannya balqis.. tiap2 hari balik sekolah, she wud practice dancing for the concert. now she cannot attend the concert.. adusss.. sedihnya aku..

kak ani said..."alaa.. dia tak paham pun..hangpa pi jer la penang.. tahun depan ada lagi concert.. hang toksah dok sedih2.. dia tak tau apa pun"

mr photographer suggested try jer la tanya cikgu dia kot2 ada harapan nak tukar date... or perhaps they could have a rehearsal ke, so balqis dpt la merasa pakai baju cantik2. he even told balqis how much fun we will have in penang..itu ini bla bla bla.. finally asked her.. "balqis nak gi penang ke concert sekolah?"

and luckily she said "adik nak pi penang lah!!! tak mo pi concert sekolah.."

lega sikit dgr... but still..i felt so kesian kat dia lah...

i HOPE... she still doesnt understand what she is missing.. coz if she does, she will be very2 sad, and i will be very extra sad knowing my daughter doesn't get what she wants..

penang here we come.

p/s - john..bawak aku pi makan nasi kandar yg sedap jom!

side story sket...

semlm we all buka puasa in kak ani's house. i wanted to try masak nasi minyak, but dont dare to try alone takut tak jadik, so kena ada chef supervisor kat sebelah.. :) so kak ani volunteered suruh aku masak nasi minyak at her house semlm.

well..kalau dah ada supervisor kat sebelah, sah2 ler jadik kan?

(everyone is sooo enthusiastic to teach me cooking, hmm.... kesian sgt kot kat mr photographer hari2 asyik2 makan nasi goreng nasi goreng hehehe)

mr photographer cakap sedap.. and paling bestnyer si balqis. she was telling abg fadzil how sedap the nasik was, and abg fadzil told her "sedap ek? mama lah yg masak tuh"

and u know what she said?

"BETUL KE?"

bley gitu? sabo jer la...

konot emmmbam!

2007-09-17T10:17:00.000+08:00

on saturday went to klia hantar SIL and niece balik mekah. dah selamat sampai, alhamdulillah. sob sob sob.. sedih aaa.. sunyi betul rumah subang since diorang tak der.

kat airport, met suraya-our MBA classmate. kebetulan dia in the same rombongan nak buat umrah. so bolehlah minta tolong dia tgk2 kan angah and ema.

once suraya saw me.. she was like... stunned.. cam.. terkejut beruk u know.. she said " eh ehhhh..kurusnyer u!!!! lainnyer!!! apa dah jadi?? u mcm... shrinking!! apa u buat???"

huhh??? biar betul budak nih...

"eh betullaaa.. dulu i remember u mcm chubby2 sket.. skang ni mcm kurus sgt!!"

yea rite.. sama ada budak ni exagerate or aku mmg tembam giler tak sedar diri dulu..

thing is i see myself everyday, so mcm tak rasa berubah sgt, gemuk-kurus-gemuk watever, cam sama jer aku rasa.. well sikit2 tu ada lah..but significantly.. like shrinking??? mak aii.. i dont think so lah...

so aku carik la gambar lama2 aku time tgh study.. tembam sgt ke aku dulu?

tengok tengok...

ambik nko....

in september 2006, sedaaaapp jer aku makan sambil senyum tgk kamera..

in july 2006 time team building.. cam sama besar jer dgn cath and andy..

so kesimpulannya... bukannya sekarang aku ni kurus sgt pon... cuma dulu aku tak sedar diri aku gemuk.. hehehehe..

mr photographer - sponsor liposuction bley? timasey...

First day of Ramadhan

2007-09-13T11:06:00.000+08:00

we are staying in subang temporarily (alaa.. since semlm ampai sabtu je pon). balqis skipped school for today and friday. aku plak pergi/balik keje from subang since semlm. my sister in law, liyana (yes nama sama dgn aku) aka angah is going back to mekah this saturday with her daughter, ema.

so nak spent time puas2 lah with them, especially ema. she is 9 mths old. so cute one u know? kenot imagine mcm mana boringnyer rumah subang nanti bila ema dah balik. even balqis will cry if u mention ema dah nak balik..

semlm balik keje instead of balik wangsa maju, i took putra to kl sentral, then komuter to subang jaya. my oh my.. komuter as expected lembab and ramai org. sampai stesen subang, jem ya ampun. kereta bertindih2 depan stesen tu tak gerak2. mr photographer supposed to pick me up there, tapi sbb jem sgt2, we decided to masuk subang parade dulu, jalan2. (sebenarnya saja cari alasan nak dating berdua hehehhe..)

lepas habis terawih, we wanted to watch movie, tapi sbb aku penat sgt2, end up mr photographer dgn balqis je yg tgk, aku tido mati tak sedar langsung wat happened. sib baik sedar kol 5 (tu pun mr photographer kejut), prepared sahur for him, sahur, basuh baju sat, get ready to work and 6.30 am he sent me to kelana jaya station.

living in subang sungguh mencabar minda btul.. 6.30 beb pergi keje!!! MIL said kalau kuar kol 6.45 mmg confirm tak sempat sampai tren stesen... nasib baik we all kuar kol 6.30, coz mr photographer said on his way back from KJ, ada accident kat federal highway, dah jem giler2.

how can u people living in subang/USJ mengharungi semua ni ek? tabik spring btul!

the unsatisfied customer

2007-09-12T16:21:00.000+08:00

remember my previous entry ada parents yg tak puas hati sbb anak dia tak de improvement in my tuition class?

well the parents decided tak mo continue.. tu pun selepas aku try to call sebanyak 15 kali nak confirm. tak mo continue cakap jer la kan? takut aku kecik hati kot.. tak der kecik hati nyer... business is business lah..heheheh

me too.. on the other hand.. tak mo continue customer2 yg 1. tak profitable (every mth aku kena jadi ceti menagih hutang) and 2. merosakkan reputation aku. (parents and anak 2 x 5 tak kisah, so apsal plak aku nak terkedek2 sorang2 kan? esok2 anak tak de improvement salahkan aku plak..)

so its a win win situation...

on the other hand ada jugak parents yg happy..who decided to continue next year, plus nak hantar their other kids as well. Alhamdulillah.. rezeki.

as of the case yg tak satisfied tu.. hmm.. aku tak der la nak menyalahkan sesiapa. the parent told me i shud've been more garang, jerit more, tengking more so budak tu takut sikit. i, on the other hand, have a different opinion and different approach.

i believe some kids kena bagi close attention, monitor everyday, tgk dia buat homework, tgk dia buat kerja. bukan simply lepas to cikgu, tuition teacher or neighbours to monitor their kids. as a parent, u yourself kena check their work. get involved dgn the child punya journey and development. bukannya kena check the end result semata2.

so, bila anak tak ada improvement, the first thing that people tend to put blame is on teachers lah, tuition teachers lah, org jaga anak dia lah.. and simply say "i dont hv time to monitor!"

there you go!

no time?

well.. shudn't we make some time for our kids?

Selamat berpuasa

2007-09-12T11:10:00.000+08:00

kepada semua yg menyambut kedatangan bulan Ramadhan, saya & family ingin mengucapkan Selamat Berpuasa.

My weekend

2007-09-10T12:19:00.000+08:00

byknyer benda nak update..tiba2 cam busy plak hehehe.. huhhh?? konot busy? busy berlakon ke hapa? aku busy betul ok...hmphhh..

************************************************
i attended training last thursday and friday. Train-The-Trainer Training. TTTT. basically sesiapa yg bercita2 nak jadik trainer, facilitator, nak kasik public speaking, attendlah training ni. sbb dia ajar camner nak jadik effective trainer.

end of the course, sumerang kena kasik 5 minutes training. the facilitator will set the scene, ask other participant to berlakon..org ni..tanya byk2 soklan.. org tu.. cakap kuat2 dlm hp.. org lain.. menguap kuat2..etc.

time aku.. once aku bukak jer mulut nak present.. ada 2 org participant ni bergaduh.. demn.. camner aku nak react nih? tak cukup dgn gaduh.. ada org lain dok gelak terbahak2.. mangkuk btul..lepas tu tgh2 present.. ada org bangun dok selak2 meja cari hp plak..dok jerit2 dlm class "anybody seen my hp?" iskk.. dugaan.. dugaan..

overall the training ok lahh.. i had fun.. (and the food is good)

*******************************************************
i had eye allergy/infection last friday. tgh syiok2 tgk movie (we have mini cinema at home, jgn jeles) tiba2 mata aku rasa gatal/uncomfortable mcm ada benda. in 1 hour jer, mata aku cam bengkak and berair. at 2 am, i noticed mcm this selaput jernih dah menyelubungi my left eye (except the biji mata yg hitam). makkkk!!!! takoootttt!!!!

we rushed to clinic, dr kasik ubat titik, itu ini, and asked us to come back esok pagi if tak baik jugak. bangun pagi jer, aku tgk mata tak get any better, so we went to clinic again. dr cakap "tak payah pergi specialist, continue jer ubat tu.." and this comes from the same dr that mistakenly diagnosed my appendiks problem 20 years ago..

hmmm..camner?

since aku pon cam byk keje nak buat plus i dowan to go to hospital.. aku pun oklah, no need specialist.

alhamdulillah today.. (since sabtu sebenarnya) mata aku dah ok.. syukur..

***************************************************
i really pampered and enjoyed myself this weekend.

sabtu - lepas pergi clinic and tak jadik pi hospital, mr photographer and balqis went straight to subang while me, the-desperate-to-pamper-herself mummy went to hair salon and give myself hair treatment. waduh2 bestnyer... buat itu ini..4 jam duduk atas kerusi.. and now i hope mr photographer tak mistaken his wife dgn catherine willows from csi heheheheh

ahad plak - MIL got me a facial voucher kat USJ, so thari tuh pergi lah aku buat facial worth 1st trial mmg murah maaa.. pas tu dia suruh aku signup.."sorry.. kena tanya husband dulu, im a housewife" hehehe..MIL even book another place for 1st facial trial on the 6th.. wallauwey syioknyer..

************************************************
work?
huhuhhu..nak nangis!!!

tuition?
hmmm... getting ready for next year bebeh!

balqis?
cam tu ler..makin cheeky..makin bijak..makin suka merengek (only when i'm around). last nite she said "mummy... im soooo hungry!! my stomach is BROWLING" (i think she meant growling) pandainyer.. aku masa umo 4 tahun did not even understand what is browling or growling whatever it is hehehe..

she tried to crack a joke.. u know.. the ones that she learnt from cartoon.

"why did the banana goes to clinic?" she asked..

mr photographer answered "becoz the banana is sick?"

"noooo... becoz.. the banana is not feeling well!!"

huhhhh??? tak paham la beb!! hehe

tapi sbb tak nak kasik dia malu.. gelak jer la.. huahuahuahuahuahuhauhahah!!!

Tupai tupai

2007-09-04T11:40:00.000+08:00

tupai tupai is a retaurant somewhere near DBP. hardones pernah buka posa sekali kat situ, in 2004 if i'm not mistaken.

tapi... TUPAI aka SQUIRREL is an animal which is NOT SUPPOSED to be in anybody's house, specifically my house!

ye para hadirin rumah aku ada tupai...

last nite mr photographer said "ada tupai dlm rumah kita, tapi dah keluar"oh.. ok... so pagi ni as usual tgh siap2 nak pergi keje, i was helping balqis dress up kat living room, ad i wanted to get something from the bedroom.

bukak jer pintu bilik, and i saw kelibat squirrel tu atas lantai lari masuk celah kabinet.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! ada tupai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ewwwwwwwww!!!

aku pon melompat kejut mr photographer. "u!!! ada tupai dlm bilik!!!!"

dia pun tgh blur2.."ha?? dah la nanti i halau.. u pergi la keje dulu"

2nd time masuk bilik i saw again the squirrel.. i think it is trying to get out from the room tapi tak tahu mcm mana.. so we decided to leave the door open, bukak pintu rumah so it can get the heck outta our house!!!

and kurang asam punya tupai.. sempat dia berak dlm bilik aku.. chaissss...

thinking about it.. mlm tadi kitorang tidur dgn tupai tu sekali lah ye?

balqis tgh excited.. she said she wants to have the squirrel as pet..

JANGAN HARAP

Ooooppssssss!!!

2007-09-03T11:16:00.000+08:00

Happy belated Merdeka everyone!!!

u know wat happened to me (and my husband's car)?

sob sob sob...

jumaat lepas, i was driving back his car from sunway pyramid alone. mr photgrapher gi solat with his cousin in masjid sunway. i decided to park the car outside the house since nak masuk park dlm mcm mencabar sket.. so i told him "i park kete kat luar ek?"

so sampai rumah, bukak gate, and aku pun park kereta nicely kat luar. kuar kete, aku cam tak sedap plak coz biar gate terbukak gitu. nak park kat luar rumah mcm dah byk kete. so aku dok pk shud i park inside? sbb tgk area mcm luas, boleh kot..

adik ipar aku pun kuar and she said "naper tak park kat dlm kak? luas ni..."

errmm.. aku pun dgn confidentnyer masuk balik kete, start enjin, sambil cakap kat adik ipar " tlg tgk ye..."

so aku pun tgk kiri.. ok.. tgk kanan ok.. tgk adik ipar aku.. ok..

aku pun jalan.....

and i guess u know wat happened next...

KRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??????

shhhhhhiiitttttttttttttttt

oooowwwwwwwwwwwww

mmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

God!!

somebody pls tell me this is not happening!!!!!

aku pejam mata rapat2! hoping that this very moment will dissapear when i open my eyes..

pls pls pls turn back the time.. 2 minutes je.. 2 minutes jer pusing balik masa..

huhuhuhuhhuh aku nak nangis!!!!!

ok ok back to reality konot...

yeah u guessed... time nak masuk pintu driver and pintu passenger belakang langgar tembok batu rumah..

so i hit the reverse gear, patah balik, kuar to tgk the damage.

ok

now

aku

nak

pengsan.

can somebody kidnap me? so that my husband will be worried about me more and doesn't care about the car anymore?

die die die.. he will definitely kill me.

can things get worse than this?

u bet it can!

tembok batu rumah MIL aku pecah sikit ok.. ok now i really desperately need to be kidnapped...

adik ipar aku dah menjerit ketakutan..

"akak!!!!!! alaaa...camner ni??? angah takut!!!! nanti along marah! camner ni kak?"

hishh..budak ni.. not helping btul... nko cuak..aku lagiler 50 kali cuak...

"akak! akak gi repair la kejap.. along lom balik ni.. gi lah akak!!"

i said "tak yah la... cakap jer la terus terang.. dah buat salah.. kena lah hadapi.. nak buat mcm mana"

she tried to gosok2 the paint yg melekat kat kereta.. tapi tak kuar...

she said "akak!.. cakap jer la angah yg buat..."

heh? betul ke budak ni? but no matter how interesting the idea seems.. hehe.. of course.. i cudn't let other people take my blame kan? sendiri buat sendiri tanggung la...

so i sms-ed mr photographer

"lepas solat balik terus boleh? ada bad news sikit"

immediately he called.. "apsal"

aku pun terus melalak in the phone telling him wat happened..

he said "alaa.. tak apa lah...ingatkan u sakit ke apa.. nak buat mcm mana.. dah nak kena"

aiikkkk.. btul ke tak apa? baiknyer laki aku...

i didnt feel any better sampai lah dia tgk sendiri how teruk the car is. true enough.. when he came back.. he was surprised to see the severity of the kemik/calar.

he kept quiet

aku rasa cam nak mati...dia tak sayang aku lagi ke?

i followed him in the room..

"sorry..." i said..

"ingatkan sikit.. quite bad jugak la... tak apa lah..nak buat mcm mana" he said..

and he continued in silence...

torture ok

aku melalak lagik.. (yes yes aku mmg emo, tak de keje lain kan?)

he said he is a bit upset only becoz earlier i said i wanted to park outside and i shud've done that..bukan upset sgt pasal kete tu...

yeah i know...my mistake.. i have only myself to blame..

sighhhhhhhhhh...

later in the evening i guess everyone is better..sumerang dah bley buat gelak2 about it.

he said "tak per la... kalau rasa bersalah sgt beli jer la kete baru kat i... hehhehehhhe"

MIL said "alaaa....apa nak risau2 pasal tu...sikit jer pun... tak yah gaduh2... dah nak kena kan? syukur le kena sikit jer..kalau accident teruk ke sakit ke.. lagi haru.. "

adik2 ipar aku yg lain pun menyampuk.."alaa... along dulu2 pun pernah jugak langgar kereta kelisa masa nak masuk..tak der hal pun.."

am i lucky or what dpt family in law camnih??

in case you are wondering.. he is okay.. we are okay..tak der gaduh2.. aku jer rasa bersalah cam nak mati.. he even said lepas ni jgn la takut lagi nak bawak keter dia...

tunggu setahun la beb nak hilang trauma..

next few days tuh..everytime nak masuk parking aku mesti rasa cam trauma/ngilu.. and everytime aku tgk kemik kat keter and tembok batu yg pecah sure aku rasa cam nak nangis..

smlm nampak satu kete, kemik jugak kat pintu.. he said "tgk keter tu..mesti wife dia jugak yg bawak, langgar tembok masa nak parking..hehhe"

I miss her

2007-08-30T10:26:00.000+08:00

her demam is getting better, syukur alhamdulillah. went to school oredi today.

i miss her a lot.. u know..

i haven't send her to school for quite some time. i miss doing that. i miss having her salam and cium my hand and then my turn to hug and kiss her before school.

now that mr photographer is around, balqis will insist that daddy sends her to school.. mummy pergi ofis dulu, adik nak tidur lagi! first few days ok lah.. mummy pun tak lambat pergi kerja, balqis pun dpt tidur lagi. but after a while, i miss sending her to school lah.. but apa nak buat.. takkan nak paksa dia bangun awal plak kan?

so maid will be incharge of getting her ready to school, which again, another thing that i miss a lot in doing it.

last 2 nites, balqis asked me if she can sleep with the maid. trying very hard not to be so super duper controlling and protective.. i just said yes.. and kissed her goodnite. (hoping very hard that she wud change her mind). my prayers answered, 10 minutes later dia cari mama jugak hehehehehhehhee....sukanyer aku!

semlm, she asked again to sleep with maid

balqis : mummy.. can i sleep with kak rahsia?
me : errmm... u dowan to sleep with me ke?
balqis : i want... but i wanna sleep with kak rahsia tonite
me : tomorow u sleep with me?
balqis : okay...
me : butttt.. if i am lonely tonite then how?
balqis : tak apa.... daddy kan ada?
me : ala.. daddy..daddy la.. i still want u!
balqis : it's ok... it's ok... daddy ada... u don't cry in the middle of the nite ok?

heh?? dia suruh aku jgn nangis? (sebenarnya mmg aku nak nangis bila pk tidur without her). u see.. few weeks ago she wanted to sleep with my parents.. i let her.. end up my mother ketuk bilik aku 2 kali in the middle of the nite coz balqis was melalak bagai nak rak mintak susu.. so u see now why i wont let her tidur dgn org lain? (apart from me being jealous.. heheheh)

so ok lah.. i let her sleep with the maid.. and this time she really fell asleep i tell u! no more carik mama! arghh..jeles.. jeles... so i let her sleep sampai lena.. then.. then.. muahahhahaha.. aku dukung dia balik bilik muahahahahha..

then this morning, as usual dia nak peluk.. aku pun peluk la.. tapi takkan nak peluk sampai petang kan? i have to go to ofis la obviously kan? so u know.. she cari maid.. and said nak peluk maid at her room..

chisssss... jeles ke tak jeles?

-the-unwilling-to-let-go mother-

Weekend cepatlah datang..

2007-08-29T16:40:00.000+08:00

i am so bored now.

u know lah these GPs.. asal pegi.. ubat demam, ubat batuk, ubat selsema, antibiotics..

10 kali pegi.. 10 kali la jugak ubat yg sama..

she has only gone to school on monday..

tak per la kot ponteng kan? after all demam pun..

UPSR next week..

i am so nervous.. doa2 lah bebudak student aku dpt 5A.

katanya anak dia tak de improvement..

mana teguran dia.. aku ambik positif.. buleh improve in future.

tapi kekdg kena tgk jugak budak tu mcm mana..

parents tu mcm mana...

i am with the kid only 2 hours per week...

i am willing to help..

but if the kid tak pedulik..

and the parents 2 x 5 tak pedulik..

how am i suppose to help?

dugaan... dugaan...

menda dlm kepala aku

2007-08-28T17:00:00.000+08:00

aku dah lama terpk pasal ni tapi tak pernah tulis..

u know.. dulu time aku divorce, i kept on accusing my x hubby this and that. ye lah.. bukti2 byk.. so very the obvious, so takkan tak betul kan? (i do not wish to elaborate on the details tqvm) i remember masa tu abg ipar aku cakap "we may only be 99% sure, there is still possibility that its not true"

yea rite.. i dont care.. time tu lah.. aku tak kira.. pada aku dia mcm gini gini..gitu gitu..the end.

sampailah sekarang, ada latest case, kabar2 angin, mulut2 org yg cakap maid aku gini gini, gitu gitu. aku pun, being lurus bendul me, percaya jer la apa org cakap. mr photographer constantly telling me.. "selagi dia tak ngaku, there is always a possibility yg dia tak buat, kita tak leh caya sgt cakap2 org ni"

so in my maid's case, we confronted her, and she denied. wallahualam.. betul tak betul, Allah saja yg tahu.

u see, i have been accused of doing things i have not even thought of. (again, i do not wish to elaborate on this)

when confronted, somehow the bukti2 mmg tunjuk aku yg buat. and i dont blame the person for accusing me. kalau aku pon.. dah sah2 tunjuk konot yg buat kan? nak deny apa lagik?

but i know that i did not do, and i know the truth. so org nak percaya or not, up to them.

i learnt my lesson.

tu lah..dulu2 suka sgt tuduh2 org. asal org cakap.. percaya bulat2.. pas tu sibuk dok cerita kat org balik.. skang kena balik kat aku.. padan muka.

jgn simply tuduh2 org.. berat tuh.. dah jadi fitnah.

We did it!

My convocation was last Saturday.

My parents and family (kak ani, hubby and anak2 plus balqis) came later in the evening. Mr. Photographer’s sisters also came later in the evening for photo session. None of our family yg masuk dewan. Sedih?? Tak ler.. biasa jer. I wasn’t expecting my parents nak masuk dewan. Diorang tu dah tua, tak larat nak pergi formal majlis and duduk lama2 mcm tuh. Cukup ler takat dtg petang tu, congratulate us and gambar2 session.

parents, husband and daugher.. i love u all!

The ceremony was okay. Sempat jugak ler akak tertido2 dlm dewan heheheh.. 900++ org naik pentas ambik scroll ok?? Ramai giler…

Oh yes!! And our dear APD3 friend Junita Nawawi also graduated from Masters in Education in the same session. Guess what.. dia dpt award for best student I tell u… giler power lu beb! Tabik spring sket!!

Tapi yg buat aku cam frust sket sbb lepas habis ceremony, semua berterabur.. I mean.. my batch. Ingat nak buat cam dulu2.. time hardones graduate.. kita ambik gambar ramai2.. baling2 topi..kehkehkeh.. so I tot lepas habis nak ler kompol and ambik gambar ramai2.. ni semua berterabur.. well I guess pasal semua dah ada family.. so susah sikit lah nak berkumpul.. ada a few yg sempat ambik gambar sama2 yg mana sempat jumpa..

Oh btw aje and jue – aku belasah jer pakai tudung yg uia kasik.. tak larat dah akak nak beli tudung baru pas tu jahit balik jalur tuh… kalau tak der robe.. mmg kembang setaman tudung tuh.. hehe..

I'd like to thank..

Allah s.w.t - for giving me the guidance and strength..

my balqis - for understanding me

my parents - for understanding and support (and tolong jaga balqis time aku balik mlm)

my maid - for taking good care of my daughter

my family - for your support

my lecturers - pasal kasik aku lepas..hehe..

my frens - for your support

my MBA classmates - for your time, sharing, notes, discussion, etc.. i'm speechless.. you guys are the best!!

my MBA finance classmates - especially kak win, abg man - i dunno what i wud do without you two!

and finally

my fren/MBA classmate/finance classmate/my husband - you made this happen!

(bila mau buat phd??)

p/s - do you know ada sorang ustaz ni.. selalu kuar TV3.. dia from masjid sultan pahang.. muda lagik..org selalu panggil ustaz hensem. aku pun pernah tgk kat tv3, mmg hensem. he was there during the ceremony, baca quran during the opening. u shud see him in person!!! tak kelip mata aku ok!!! sib baik tak drool.. heheh..

Maid ke no maid?

2007-08-22T15:28:00.000+08:00

kalau org dah ada anak, especially yg dua2 hubby & wifey kerja, mesti kena fikir siapa nak jaga anak nanti. mana yg tinggal dekat and mak/mertua dah tak keje and willingly nak jaga anak.. oh well.. you have no idea how lucky you are ok?

some people prefer to hire maid. mcm aku ler.. not that i prefer. but mmg aku dibesarkan dgn maid. tak pernah seingat aku mak aku hantar aku or any of my sisters to babysitter ke, jiran ke, nenek ke. seingat aku sejak umur 6 tahun family aku dah ada maid, masa tu kat kedah. then pindah kl, sebab kakak2 aku dah beso, so boleh jaga diri sendiri and jaga aku, so time tu tak de la maid.

then lepas semua kakak2 dah pergi sambung study, tinggal aku sorang dgn parents. and time tu diorang start hire maid balik. parents pun dah start sibuk dgn business, so hal2 rumah mmg 100% maid uruskan.

sampai ler aku tinggal PPP, baru aku start uruskan diri sendiri. then i got married (1st marriage), aku independent kejap without maid. buleh jer.. kalau tak de maid time tuh. buat sendiri la sumer. ( i cook time tuh!).

then ada balqis, kitorang decide nak ambik maid to take care of her, and maid tu kekal sampai sekarang, alhamdulillah.

time aku single dulu, mmg aku 100% depend kat maid nak uruskan rumah, kain baju, cuci, masak. i will take care of balqis time aku kat rumah. balqis and only balqis. lain sumer jgn harap. tu yg sampai berbulan2 tak pegang kuali, iron, mop, penyapu.. hehe.. ngada!

sampai ler skang aku rasa mcm ok lah jugak ada maid nih..

balik rumah tak yah pk mengemas, kain baju etc. but of course dah ada suami ni i try to masak sendiri as much as i can (walaupun tak jadi ngengenge). and since dah ada org uruskan benda2 lain, i can spend more time with suami and anak. i cannot imagine kalau aku sendiri uruskan rumah, bila masa beb.. haru.. lagi plak, ada maid ni best in terms of kalau nak kuar dating ke, u know mmg ada org jaga anak.

of course, ada jugak lah drawbacknyer.. like sumerang cakap, tak de privacy. pasal ni, mmg aku agreelah..tak leh nak cakap apa. pas tu org selalu kata takutlah ambik maid indon..nanti buat itu ini. to me.. yg ni kita tak boleh generalize lah. even baby sitter ke, nursery ke, ada jugak risk kan? so sama jer la..mana2 pun ada problem.

apsal aku citer pasal ni eh? ntahh.. maybe sbb aku selalu sgt fikir apa alternative nak jaga anak selain maid. kalau buleh of course aku nak jaga sendiri, which means aku kena jadi full time housewife, which means like impossible for now and also i kenot imagine myslef not working!

so for the time being.. maid jer la solution aku..

for others, im sure they have their own priorities and preference.. masing2 punya choice lah kan?

Do you know what is langau?

2007-08-21T15:33:00.000+08:00

aku try carik dlm google tak dpt the intended meaning..

nevertheless..

langau is the lalat hijau yg besar... yg bunyi dia BISING.. yg sangatlah menganggu fikiran aku yang tenteram lagi aman damai..

kat ofis aku byk langau kalau nak tahu...well tak lah byk.. but this particular langau yg bising dia mcm langau kat pasar malam.

langau yg keje dia komplen..komplen..komplen...

mcm mana nak buat ye?

nak marah balik.. ilmu aku belum cukup di dada.. so dari aku bagi salah fakta dan memalukan diri sendiri.. baik ler aku diam...

so aku korek lubang kat telinga aku beso2.. so apa dia cakap tak lekat dlm telinga..kasi kuar cepat sikit the other side of the telinga..

langau oh langau..
kenapa ko bising sgt..
mcm mana aku tak bising..
memang keje aku
memang keje aku

keje oh keje
kenapa ko suka bising
mcm mana aku tak bising
appraisal dah nak dekat
appraisal dah nak dekat

appraisal oh appraisal
kenapa ko mesti bising
mcm mana aku tak bising
nanti boss tak tau aku buat keje
nanti boss tak tau aku buat keje

boss oh boss
kenapa ko suka org bising
mcm mana aku tak suka
aku suka org kepochi
aku suka org kepochi

dah melalut dah aku...

i cannot think of a title

2007-08-21T12:30:00.000+08:00

gambar kawin and gambar jumpa farah and ayu lom siap.. godek2 hardisk aku tadi jumpa gambar si kecik ni posing pakai specs.. boleh lah ye?

**********************************************
keje aku sungguh slow skang. project dah rollout. training dah habis. now its up to users nak pakai ke idak.. nak follow procedure ke idak. aku, of course kena ensure org follow procedure, tapi kalau dah 2-3 email hantar, call tak berjawab.. bukan salah aku ler kan? so since balik kawin harituh, keje aku dok nganga, blog, nganga, baca online paper, gym, lunch, nganga lagik, surf, nganga, balik.. fuhh. best! tapi hari ni aku extra rajin, buat sket2 proactive work.. ye lah.. early confirmation tuh baru proposal by boss, belum sampai HR kekekekeekke.. kang dah confirm aku nganga jer la tiap2 hari.... :)

**********************************************
convocation is this saturday. baju haprak tak prepare. unlike time first degree dulu.. siap tempah baju baru beb! this time, sb dekat sgt dgn kawin kot, so tak kose dah akak nak tempah2 baju. pakai jer la baju mana yg ada. one thing tak best is we hv to pakai tudung provided by the university. iskkk... muka aku is soooo tak kena dgn tudung kaler cream ok... plak tuh the tudung is so keras and kejung.. iskk.. camner?

the tudung issue put aside.. but im so happy and lookinf forward for the convo. penat2 belajo siang mlm tak tido, finally dah habis! semua effort sgtlah berbaloi. and paling best dpt convo dgn husband! and paling best jugak dpt ambik gambar family nanti! sonok lah si balqis nanti..we plan to pakaikan her the dress that we bought for the wedding. sian dia.. time wedding tak sempat nak berposing sgt sbb demam.. tunggu convo then kita posing puas2!

my parents are away in taiping for work. dah seminggu kat sana, by right ntah bila nak balik. i called them yesterday bagitahu abt my convo, and they said ok, diorang balik friday nite nanti. iskk.. terharu aku.. balik sini semata2 nak attend aku punya convo ok.. sayang mak ayah!

********************************************************
i still live with my parents. so by right tak payah la beli apa2 keperluan rumah, like perabot, kitchen stuff, electrical stuff etc. but u know.. time2 mcm ni.. ada jer benda2 yg rosak yg nak perabih duit aku.. like few days ago blender aku rosak.. and now microwave plak rosak.. haiyoooo.. and kebetulan ex colleagues from SCOPE kasik jusco voucher, so semlm habih dah voucher guna utk beli blender and microwave.. isskk.. baru ler aku plan nak beli kasut ke, baju ke, apa2 ke.. there goes my shooping budget!

Weekend update

2007-08-20T14:21:00.000+08:00

started with my *ehem* cooking *ehem* practice on friday.. the day b4 the photographer and i went to C4 for groceries when he said.."eh jom masak lasagna nak?" heeeehh?? mimpi ke apa husband aku nih..lupa ke bini dia tak pandai masak?..

nevertheless, i also wanted to try.. plus tgk instruction mcm senang jerrr... yea rite.

so on friday evening, kitorang start project masak lasagna. siap tepon mak mertua aku ok.. tanya camner nak masak.. (malu.. malu...) and the result... ermm.. jap aku nak gelak kat diri sendiri jap... muahahahahhahahahhahahhaha!!

ok dah habis gelak..

masin.. and the lasagna slice tu keras mcm biskut tehehehehhehehe..

even balqis pon cakap "mommy.. this is not good lahh.. masin!"

chaisssss.... kutuk mak nko masak ek?

ok tak per...

so saturday evening we went back to subang, and sunday morning was cooking session with the mertua. sib baik ler family mertua aku sumer dah paham yg aku ni mmg bebal bab masak.. mak mertua aku dah siap menu ok.. this week belajar masak apa.. next week nak masak apa.. the week after nak masak apa.. heheheh..sapa mau join cooking class?

ok lah habis citer masak.. esok2 aku dah terer baru bleh ambik gambar masuk blog.. skang ni buat malu jer..

*************************************************
we bought telekung for balqis. sungguh comelnyer budak tu pakai telekung. dan2 tu jugak rajin solat..selalunya ada angin..kdg2 rajin, kdg2 malas. lepas beli telekung, sekali jer rajin time zohor. maghrib tu nak suruh dia solat..mula lah dia jawab "alaaa.. ma.. penat lah.. adik kan kecik lagi..."

hishhh... kecik2 dah pandai ngelat nak solat ek?

so later aku pun report to the photographer pasal balqis malas solat.. and he said "kalau tak mo sembahyang nanti hantar balik lah telekung tuh. you're not gonna use it anyway kan?" and balqis is like.."alaaa.... ok lah ok lah adik sembahyang"

uihh..kidss...
*********************************************
i think nowadays balqis and the photographer is getting more attached. dulu2 kalau he ugut balqis, kalau tak mo buat apa2 he will balik.. balqis will buat dek.. mcm.. nak balik? balik ler.. aku tak heran.. hehe..something like that..

but now... perghh.. i tell u.. nak tido? balqis will kiss him 10 times the least. bangun pagi, the photographer will kiss the little princess yg tgh tido...kalau tanya balqis "how much u love your dad?" she will say "one hundred million thousand thousand!" kalau ugut "if you dowan to do this, this, i'm going back lah!" dan2 tu jugak balqis will scream "noooo!! ok lah ok lah adik buat!!"

good eh?

p/s - lepas ni bangun mlm buat susu balqis bley hehhehehehhe...

*******************************************************
last nite farah and iwan slept over. time nak tido, we told the kids.. "good nite.. jgn mimpi boifren/gelfren ye..." then u know wat balqis said?

"alaaa...adik nak mimpi amirul!! sbb adik sayang dia!!"

OMG!!!

kecik2 dah gateiiiiiii... and this is the same amirul yg dok cubit2 dia..

my darlingsss

2007-08-17T11:49:00.000+08:00

i love this photo so much..

taken in 2006 (or is it 2005?) during our outing to genting with sham and liza (they are getting engaged soon!!).

u know..sometimes I feel mcm belum kawin..

and my photographer also admitted this.. we think maybe we knew each other oredi, so, this far no surprises..tak tahu ler in future cemana..

ada few times when we came back home and saw no one kat rumah, we like. “alahh. tak de org kat rumah, camne nak masuk nih?” u see.. dulu2 b4 kawin, kalau dia dtg rumah and tak de org, obviously dia tak masuk la kan? so we would pening kepala fikir mana nak pergi while waiting org balik rumah.. skang ni.. lupa la plak dah kawin.. masuk jer la kan? tak de org lagik best huahuahuahuahuahuahhau

while packing my stuff harituh, aku dgn sedapnyer pack brg aku sorang.. baju aku, toiletries aku.. itu ini semua aku punya.. cam heran sat.. eh.. mamat ni apsal buat dek jer..dlm hati aku dah bertanya2..”eh u ni..tak mo pack baju u ke?”

lupa la plak aku bini dia!!! aku ler kena pack baju dia.. isskkk.. haru.. haru.. lupa kejap tanggungjawab hehehheheheh

skang solat pun jemaah.. besttt.. paling best klu balqis join sekali… so after solat, balqis will salam cium tgn both of us.. then my turn to salam cium tgn suami la plak.. upon seeing this.. balqis gelak sakan!!! I said “whattt??” u know what balqis said?

“mummy!!! that is soooo cute!!! hahahahhaha…”

heh?? cute? me salam cium tgn photographer pun cute ek? lawak la nko ni balqis..

anyway the princess still adjusting herself calling photographer “dad” now she still calls him uncle am, which is logic la takes time nak tukar.. sekian lama panggil uncle am, takkan nak terus tukar ye dak?

*******************************************
our convocation ceremony is next week (25th August). tak sabar rasanya nak graduate dgn husband.. tapi sebelum nak convo ni mcm2 la plak kena buat. tapi tak per.. nak grad punya pasal.. sanggup ler go thru benda2 yg meng hangin kan aku..

we have to pay RM120 for robe rental fee. nak bayar tu.. kena guna either money order, banker's cheque or deposit duit dlm bank muamalat. then bawak slip, baru boleh ambik robe.

so i tot of deposit money via maybank2u jer la.. tak kose la akak nak menapak gi bank muamalat or post office la plak kan? technology ada.. pakai ler..

tapi aku pk baik ler aku tepon dulu universiti kesayangan aku nih, nak konfem kalau aku kasik slip yg print from maybank2u leh dak.. buatnyer tak bley.. naya jer..

so aku pon tepon ler..

aku: elo.. nak tanya, kalau saya bayar thru m2u, transfer duit ke bank muamalat, print resit bayaran from m2u leh dak?
org tu: tak bley! tak bley! maybank kita tak terima!
aku: tahu... saya bukan bayar kat maybank.. saya guna maybank2u utk transfer duit ke bank muamalat, pas tu print resit dari situ..
org tu: pergi bank muamalat jer la cik... kita tak galakkan lah pakai maybank2u nih..
me: oh..kenapa ye.. tak galakkan pakai m2u?
org tu: mmg policy kita..

lawak tol la policy nkorang.. dah ada teknologi elok2.. nak jugak suruh org buat manual ek? kisah ni belum habis ye hadirin sekalian.. ada lagik lawak jenaka hari jumaat..

me: kalau saya pergi bank mualamat, thari ni tutup, saya masuk pakai cash deposit boleh?
org tu: tak bley!!! kena gi counter jugak!
me: apsal plak? skang mana ada org deposit duit kat counter... sumer pakai machine jer..
org tu: bukan apa, kita takut slip tu tak clear.. kalau nak jugak kena make sure printing tu clear..

camner tuh?? nanti aku cakap kat mesin tu soh print clear2 ek?? i dunno abt bank muamalat..but i know other banks charge few ringgit if u deposit thru counter..mesti diorang soh pakai mesin punya!

nanti ye.. lom abih lagik citer aku..

me: okayyy... so kalau saya buat banker cheque boleh la kan?
org tu: bank muamalat jer cik!!!
me: tahu ler.. kalau deposit saya masuk dlm bank muamalat la.. tapi skang saya nak buat banker's cheque.. maybank punya boleh la kan? (aku rasa sah2 org tu tak tahu pun amenda m2u, cash deposit machine and banker's cheque)
org tu: tak bley tak bley!!!

papppp.. org tu letak tepon!!!

ada ka patut dia letak tepon? ba alif ngang btul...

Balqis kena buli..

2007-08-16T14:45:00.000+08:00

anakku kena buli kat sekolah.. huhuhu cian dia..

pagi ni bukak jer mata.. "sakit perutttttt tak nak pergi sekolah!!!"

ler.. apsal la plak..selalu bukan main semangat..

few times i insisted dia pergi sekolah.. still tak mo.. i suspected something is wrong at school, so i asked her

me: naper tak nak pergi sekolah? ada org kacau adik ke?
balqis: (angguk.. tgh minum susu)
me: amirul kacau ek? (amirul is her boifren in school hehhe)
balqis: (angguk)
me: amirul buat apa?
balqis: (hulur tgn cubit pipi aku sekuat hati)
me: amirul cubit adik ke???
balqis: ha ah!!! byk kali! sakit!
me: pas tu adik buat apa?
balqis: adik nangis lah
me: bagitau cikgu tak?
balqis: (angguk)
me: cikgu cakap apa?
balqis: (angkat shoulder.. tak tahu)
me: len kali..kalau org cubit.. adik cubit balik tau!!

sampai aku kuar ofis pagi tadi dia still tak mo pergi sekolah.. called the photographer later and he said she went to school oredi..

so 11.30 am as usual i will call balqis

me: amirul kacau lagi tak?
balqis: kacau! dia cubit adik lagi
me: then adik buat apa?
balqis: hehehehe adik cubit balik kuat2!!! pas tu dia nangis!

waahhh!! pandai anak mama.. hehehhe..

aperdaa.. main cubit2 plak.. agaknyer budak tuh tgk pipi balqis tembam sgt.. geram kot.. dah ler class balqis tinggal 3 org jer pompuan. sorang tuh kurus keding aku tgk.. sorang lagi budak pakistan yg asyik nangis jer dlm class kata cikgu dia.. so balqis lah kot yg paling eligible nak cubit among the girls..

err...salah ke aku ajar anak soh cubit balik ek? tak kan? kan kan kan? where got way mannn.. anak kena belasah.. mesti lah ajar self defense tol dak?

Al-fatihah

2007-08-16T12:13:00.000+08:00

sepupu aku baru meninggal pukul 5 pagi semalam kat penang akibat barah.
moga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.
let us sedekahkan al-fatihah kepada arwah...

My husband

2007-08-15T13:54:00.000+08:00

apa ye aku nak cerita pasal mr. photographer nih?

kitorang kenal each other since 2004 time buat MBA. i remembered our first conversation, masa tu duduk sebelah2 dlm class. tanya2 nama, tinggal mana, kerja mana.. etc.. tu jer la..

then masa tu aku selalu study kat canteen UIA mlm2 dgn my other classmate, azwan. time tu i recalled seeing him, abg man and sham pun selalu jugak study situ, so i occasianally joined them studying. i remembered we tukar2 no tepon masa tuh.. but still masa tu tak de apa2 pun..

then nak dekat raya, i remembered we sat next to each other dlm class.. he was telling me dia raya mana etc.

masuk second semester, we exchanged YM id, and started chatting with each other occasionally..

i remembered in Feb 05, i went to Kuantan for holiday. time tuh, we started sms-ing each other.. i still remember one of his sms "hey u.. bila nak balik ni? the whole KL is missing u lah!" heheh.. KL miss me ke u miss me kuang kuang kuang..

balik from kuantan, he asked me out.. teeheheheheh.. our first movie was SEPET. our second date if im not mistaken was with Balqis, pergi megakidz kat midvalley. then lepas tu we became closer.. almost every week ada movie outing, and our feveret dinner place was roti naan and tandoori at pelita jalan ampang.

lagi sibuk study, lagi rapat we became. both of us switched our specialization to finance. we started doing assignments, group projects, study for exams sama2.

yada yada yada yada....

sampailah ke 11 May 2007 when he proposed...hehehhe...sori ye kalau nak termuntah baca post jiwang karatz aku nih....

so we decided to get married...

so here we are.. married... finally.. syukur..

i can't remember exactly the point where i fell in love with him.
u see.. we started as friends.. i guess.. the feelings dtg sikit2..with every little things that he does.. tu yg buat aku sayang sgt kat dia..

yg buat aku amazed is how he can accepts me as who i am, and how he can love balqis like his own daughter..

he helped balqis wrote her first alphabet..
he taught balqis to memorize my handphone number..
he helped balqis complete her homework if i am too busy..

when balqis went out with his mother and tak balik2 fo few hours, he will be the one asking me "eh.. u tak risau ke balqis nih belum balik2?"

when balqis asyik nak termuntah he will be the one worried bagai nak rak siap nak pergi specialist..

and he treats us like we are the most important people in his life.

so tell me.. how can i not fall in love with him?

My balqis

2007-08-15T11:56:00.000+08:00

did u know that balqis was sick during the wedding reception?

sigh.. kesian anak mama..

time nikah in the morning.. she was okay.. she was happy and healthy.

time petang, she started meragam. prob. penat since morning, plus tak makan ubat since morning.

awal2 mlm she was still okay. enjoyed herself during the wedding, main dgn cousin2 and kawan2 yg dtg wedding.

towards the end, i noticed dia dah lembik, asyik peluk maid, mata mcm dah nak tido. i touched her forehead and rasa mcm dah start panas balik. owwww noooooo... this is not the time!! pls dont demam now!!!

hati aku dah tak sedap.. balqis dah start merengek "nak mama.. nak mama"

sedih sgt ok?

imagine on your wedding day, you are supposed to be extra happy.. but your daughter is sick.. camna tuh?

takkan aku nak duduk jer peluk balqis time kenduri?
takkan aku tak nak peluk dia?

how how how??

so i asked sham to send maid and balqis back to rumah in subang, take her medicine and get some rest. once diorang dah balik, makan ubat, lega sikit aku rasa...

habis jer kenduri, kitorang cepat2 balik rumah. tgk2 badan balqis ya Allah panasnya. our initial plan was to get something to eat since pengantin pun tak makan during kenduri. but since keadaan balqis mcm tu, siapa yg ada selera makan?

aku tgk balqis pun aku dok nangis tersedu2.. aku pun tak tau kenapa aku cam sedih sgt. prob becoz keadaan jadi mcm tu..i just wished that balqis tak sakit on my wedding day.

at 3 in the morning badan balqis jadi panas semcm. both of us cuak kejap.. terus cepat2 pergi klinik. sampai jer klinik..aiikk.. turun sikit temperature.. so the doc. just gave ubat biasa jer la.. he said kalau esok tak turun jugak demam, kena admit ke hospital.

esok pagi nyer, badan dia dah suam2 sikit.. we let her be active and play as much as she wants to. bagi happy and berpeluh.

we went back to danau kota, had lunch with my family.

since we are spending the nite in hotel in KL area, so kalau boleh nak la tinggalkan balqis and be assured that she is okay. we brought the children (balqis, iwan and farah) to the hotel, bawak mandi pool, lepas habis sambung mandi kat bathtub plak, then bawak pergi jusco lagik, bawak makan roti naan (feveret balqis) bagi dia happy.

she really enjoyed herself to the max, peluh sakan tak ingat, and Alhamdulillah demam beransur baik. so mlm tu mummy & daddy boleh la pergi honeymoon dgn hati tenang :)

till now, Alhamdulillah she is okay.

happier i suppose.. dah ada org baru rajin nak melayan dia..:)

The wedding part 2

2007-08-15T11:30:00.000+08:00

after selesai akad nikah, semua terus gerak ke Danau Kota for makan2.

since majlis awal 1 hour, tetamu dihidangkan dgn kuih & tea while waiting for lunch to be served. pengantin plak sibuk bergambar sana sini.. hehe.. kasik chan laa ek?

dlm kol 11.30 we started makan2, then keluarga pengantin lelaki balik subang around 1 pm. we continue layan guest yg dtg tak berenti sampai la pukul 3.30 pm, then we all gerak ke subang together with balqis, sham an liza.

kenduri kat Danau Kota was simple and meriah. a bit panas tho.. (a lot actually) coz the dewan tak de aircond. other than that.. we love the gathering..:)

sampai kat subang, sempat rehat and mengemas sekejap before pergi dewan utk bersiap. balqis dah start restless, boring la beb.. tgk mak nyer mekap tak habis2.. kesian.. nasib baik mak mertua & auntie2 belah lelaki rajin melayan dia, bawak gi A&W to keep her occupied.

after maghrib kenduri started. masuk jer dewan, aku tgk tak berapa ramai sgt yg sampai.. sempat ronda semua meja and salam semua org. then sorang2 guest sampai, and Alhamdulillah ramai yg hadir memeriahkan majlis.

to me, kenduri in subang was simple and meriah. we wanted it to be simple, no sanding2, no makan beradab etc so that we can meet our frens, borak2, ambik gambar. mcm tu pun, ada jugak a few kawan2 yg tak sempat jumpa.. minta maaf lah ye.. tak cukup tgn melayan semua org.

korang tau.. bulu mata palsu yg mak andam pakaikan tu rasa mcm letak payung atas mata!!! even farah said.."konot.. ni kalau hujan.. bulu mata ko sure boleh tampung air!!" heheheh.. sabo jer la..

i told mak andam "tak mo pakai bulu mata palsu bley?"
mak andam said "tak bley.. tak cantik.. tak nampak outstanding dlm gambar"

aiseyy... terima jer la....

so the kenduri ended abt 11 pm. all in all, it was an absolute satisfactory. if i were to do it again, i wudn't want to change anything. other than balqis was sick (which will be in another post), everything else was PERFECT! well.. it was perfect to us...

The wedding

i'm back from gym and i really really really (multiply by 15) got no mood to work (altho i have like berkodi2 kerja nak buat), so i guess i'll blog about the wedding. post ajer ye.. gambar blum agik.. kena tgk kat teman sescorpio saya or blog budak comel nih utk preview gambar :)

The day before
On Friday, whole day I was at home doing absolutely nothing. Plan nak buat mandi manda lulur mangir etc plus kemas bilik. However since princess demam both of us tak cukup tido. Bangun pagi Friday, sedar2 mak and maid dah siap kemas bilik, siap angkat and pindah almari without me and balqis sedar. Imagine how lena we all tido.. org kemas bilik pun tak sedar.

Since Balqis demam, I cancelled my appointment for the mandi manda.. last2 both of us went to Jusco, bawak dia main2 bagi happy and berpeluh. Kat rumah dah meriah.. staff Hasrah semua turun padang tolong kemas dewan. Sedara mara ramai kat rumah kak ani tolong siapkan hantaran, gift for guest etc.

Mlm after Isya' I started wearing inai. Pakai sendiri la beb since tak de assistant. Berteraburnyer ya ampun.. hentam jer la.. janji nampak mcm pengantin..

Farah & B Matt came mlm tuh, hantar flower bouquet nak pakai masa nikah. Thanks ye farah.. sempat la borak2 kejap menghilangkan rasa nervous aku.. yeah.. aku nervous.. tatau apsal.. dari Friday aku cam cuak semcm rasa nak kawin. butterfly in my stomach tok sah kira lah.. sakit perut nak muntah semua ada masa nih..

The day - nikah ceremony
I woke up early, mandi, solat subuh, solat sunat, siap2.. then waited for my mak andam at stesen taman melati. Kol 7.30 am she arrived, and off we go to kak ani's house to bersiap. Sampai jer kat sana the mak andam said "Alamakkkk!!!! akak tertinggal tudung dgn selendang!!!! kat Shah Alam plak tuh!!"

OMG berasapnyer aku!!!!!

Tapi sbb I have my own tudung and selendang oredi, and tak mo spoil mood pagi2 nak nikah.. I just said "tak per la kak.. pakai saya punya sendiri jer la"

mekap punya mekap.. i noticed rumah kak ani kosong..everyone went to Danau Kota oredi getting ready for kenduri..

apa nih??? habis sapa nak hantar aku gi masjid? don't tell me aku kena drive sendiri?

I called abg fadzil kat masjid, and minta tolong hantar liza (my pengapit) ker rumah dulu escort aku pi masjid.. lawak la plak gi masjid sorang2 kan..

so 9.30 am i went to masjid.. keluarga pengantin lelaki semua dah ready. My mother and Balqis is oredi at masjid. Balqis is cute as ever, excited sungguh bila nampak mama dia sampai. She said "Mommy.. u look so pretty!!!"

i knowwwwww... heheheheh...

ok ok back to our topic...

so tok kadi pun start ler ceramah sket2.. tanya itu ini..

and pukul 9.45 am, dgn satu lafaz, sah ler aku menjadi isteri kepada Mohd Amzari Tajudeen... Alhamdulillah...

penat ler aku nak menaip... sambung later..

Thank you!!

2007-08-14T10:12:00.000+08:00

Another komplen before my wedding

2007-08-09T11:47:00.000+08:00

pernah tak rasa bengang?
pernah tak rasa sakit hati? nak suruh semua org dok diam2.. tolong jgn byk komplen abt my wedding.. and just be happy for me?

korang realize tak wedding melayu ni byk sgt makan duit?
adat madat todat ni yg pada aku unnecessary yg boleh di-eliminate and jimat duit.. buttttt ada lah mulut2 org yg tak de brek bila cakap.. "naper tak buat tu? naper tak buat ni? kang org cakap apa? haa..kan aku dah kata???"

helloooo...

kalau takat kata dgn air liur.. boleh simpan air liur ok?
kalau nak kata tapi nak sponsor then tak apa lah jugak...

duit byk nak pakai utk life after marriage jugak ok... aku bukan hidup utk sehari wedding ni jer... aku tak mintak byk... selamat nikah cukup.. tapi sbb ramai sgt yg rajin kasik opinion.. jadik la mcm2.. and i am pretty sure org dok ngutuk aku tak tolong buat itu ini...

kutuklah korang.. aku dah lali..

aku jadik janda pun kena kutuk..
aku nak kawin pun kena kutuk jugak????

suka hati korang la labuuu..

6 jam lagik and aku nak balik rumah! i am mentally and spiritually at home oredi...

Sekarang aku mmg patut stress!!!

2007-08-09T09:06:00.000+08:00

mula2 aku demam..
lepas tu aku lelah..
lepas tu tok kadi plak heart attack..

okayyy.. aku sabar lagik...

pagi tadi...

BALQIS PLAK DEMAM PANAS!!!!

ni lah benda yg aku paling takut sekalik..
keje aku tak confirm lagi..
wedding aku nak dekat dah (like lusa ok)
i kenot take so many ELs
and i definitely dowan to see my flower girl sick on my wedding day..

how lah?

why why why why why??

i know i know ni semua dugaan... kena sabar.. ada hikmah...

Patut ke aku stress?

2007-08-08T16:43:00.000+08:00

got a call from abg fadzil..

abg fadzil: liana.. ada berita tak baik sikit...

(jantung aku dah start dup dap dup dap.. but still wondering if this is another sick joke by him, since he is always fooling around with these kindda jokes)

abg fadzil: kadi yg patutnya nak nikahkan u all tu kena heart attack, so tak boleh nikahkan lah... dia sakit sekarang...

(ok, now my dup dap dup dap is getting laju-er)

abg fadzil: tapi ada replacement.. but nikah has to start at 9.30, lah.. 1 hour earlier... kalau lambat, kena postpone tahun depan.. heheh

me: oh okay... (tahun depan tak lawak ok...)

so cepat2 i called the sesiapa yg patut, and update the timings..

iskk.. stress nyer aku... why la like this?

apa2 pun aku doakan semoga tok kadi tu cepat sembuh..

I am feeling much better today

2007-08-08T13:12:00.000+08:00

Asthma is 90% gone... i can walk in my normal pace oredi now.. alhamdulillah.. and oh yes i am still in the ofis, successfully declining the urge nak ambik MC. Am I considered workaholic? maybe lah kot..

The only thing is flu and sorethroat.. anybody knows any instant remedy to flu? I dowan to srot sret srot sret and blowing my nose time akad nikah kat masjid u know... nanti kang org ingat aku nangis sbb syahdu plak.. kehkehkeh..

******************************************
i bought this new shoe, yg comfy nak pakai pergi balik ke ofis. u know.. i have been wearing my RM2.90 selipar jepun from carrefour pergi balik (and this selipar is so comfy and tahan), sampai ofis tukar nice shoe. so since this shoe pun harga boleh tahan, i tot just buy lah..

and u know.. after 2 hari pakai.. the benang tertetas oredi.. BUDUSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
dat is 2 days ok??? bukan 2 minggu, bukan 2 bulan.. sakitnyer hati aku... dah la aku mmg tak banyak kasut (even balqis has more shoe collection), now that aku rajin beli kasut, jadik mcm ni plak.. i think aku mmg tak de jodoh dgn kasut.. i am stuck with the RM2.90 selipar!!

******************************************
speaking of stuck, this part is dedicated to ayu.. :)

ayu wrote somewhere in her blog about her and amirah mengigau in english. well u know.. few nites ago Balqis also mimpi and mengigau in english.. wakakakkka.. i feel like calling ayu there and then tgh2 mlm tu nak bagi dia dgr.. balqis was yelling "why??? why?? why?? i don't want!! no!!"

hehhe.. so farah.. tell us when adam also mengigau in english.. aku rasa anak2 kita semua terkenan kat ayu!

I got 2 days MC

2007-08-07T11:53:00.000+08:00

but i am still in the office, and i'm not sure to balik or not.

rasa cam tak best plak.. belum confirm pun, asyik2 MC manjang. but this time mmg quite bad, i did not even ask for MC, but dr. kasik 2 hari terus, suruh rehat jgn exposed to air cond. oh well i guess aku duduk jer la diam2 buat keje (or blogging nge nge nge).

tapi aku pk gak.. maybe i shud take this opportunity to rest. pas tu.. aku keje teruk2 pun, bukan org appreciate sgt ye dak? i mean.. aku bukan jenis kipas/kiwi/aircond boss. aku tak reti nak menunjuk yg aku rajin. kalau camni, takkan aku nak tunjuk kat boss.."hey..see.. i got 2 days MC, but i am still here.. look how rajin i am!" duhhhh.. tak kose akak nak buat gitu...

but somehow i feel that kalau aku tak buat gitu, org tak tau aku sacrifice my health and entitlement for rest for the sake of work. and whatever i did is for nothing.. on the other hand, kalau MC, bad record.. tapi tak per la labu... duduk jer la diam2.. kalau boss tahu.. tahu la.. aku malas nak war2 kan aku ni rajin..

tau dak wat happened?

my fever, flu and sorethroat is better. but since yesterday i had on and off asthma attack. jalan pegi/balik keje pun semput. semlam jer 4 kali aku pakai inhaler. kesian mr photographer, janji semlm nak pergi ikea, but my health condition teruk sgt. penat2 dia turun kl, last2 dia gi ikea sorang2.. iskk.. sori bebeh!

pagi tadi was the worst. i was climbing the escalator kat klcc nak exit kat glass hour, sampai jer kat atas aku cam mengah yang amat amat, mcm jantung aku kenot cope dgn activity naik tangga..mcm ler aku buat marathon ke apa.. nak bernafas pun payah, last2 aku sandar kejap kat sliding door tuh dlm 5 minit, baru start jalan mcm kura2.. and it took me 20 minutes to reach ofis.

so i went to klinik.. dr kasik nebulizer treatment kejap, and kasik ubat power and mahal, and soh aku balik rumah dok diam2 for 2 days. but here i am in ofis blogging. however as of now i am feeling slightly better, cuma tak leh byk cakap, nanti aku mengah.

pls pls pls pray for my health.. tak mo la sakit2 gini dah dekat2 kenduri..

Wedding invitation

2007-08-06T12:09:00.000+08:00

i noticed that the scanned card previously was blur sket, plus ramai yg ingat wedding aku time thari... (kang susah payah korang dtg dewan tu time thari tgk2 mak andam baru nak setup pelamin kehkehkeh.. ponat jek...)

so i attached again the softcopy yg lagi clear, plus the details as below:

Tempat: Dewan Serbaguna 3K, Subang Jaya (sebelah A&W)

jemputlah dtg memeriahkan majlis kami..

pada yg tak dpt dtg.. its okay.. doakanlah kebahagiaan kami ek?

Another post without any gambar...

2007-08-03T13:06:00.000+08:00

Aku demam...
My hingus kenot stop meleleh uncontrollably..
My tekak is so kering and sakit..
and i feel so cold in the office...

can somebody pls explain...

why are these all happening..

AFTER MY 2 DAYS-DISASTEROUS-TRAINING ENDED?

and best of all..

ON FRIDAY EVENING?

i think HLB is spreading and intelligent virus... someone call pusat kawalan penyakit plssss.

and oh yeah...

this is the last weekend before i get married... and u know.. i have like 30 pages of to do list yg belum complete (ok ok 30 pages is exagerating). so i really2 kenot afford to demam now ok?

so virus... syuhhhhhh!!!!!

aku maleh nak citer pasal training..
in short.. it was disasterous.. who to blame? wat went wrong? i dunno lah.. dont care... i think la kan.. ppl punya attitude la yg paling masalah.. kalau dah oldtimer kat bank tuh.. introduce benda baru mmg susah sgt nak accept.. tu pasal la bank ni still at where it is u know? coz of the people lah! camner nak jadik cam SCB? HSBC? sendiri mau ingat... kalau aku jadik Group Managing Director kang aku pk lah.. skang baik aku pk my 30 pages list to do.. :P

i have completed sending out invitation card..
mana yg aku email/sms/call tapi tak berreply/berjawab.. mana yg dah janji nak email aku address tapi tak pernah email tuh.. minta maaf lah.. i did my very best nak contact sumer kawan2..kalau tak nak dtg wedding aku.. kalau tak nak kawan dgn aku.. sudah...

rite now i miss my photographer and my balqis..
he is with balqis now.. pergi sana sini uruskan wedding..
and they will fetch me after work..
and we will go and have roti naan and tandoori..
but waiting for petang seems like forever..

can we fastforward the time to next saturday?

I'm blogging from office

2007-07-31T14:38:00.000+08:00

not that I dont have any work.. but me so bored. pagi2 lagi kena bambu dgn user bangang. belum pakai system lagi dah cakap mcm2 menjerit menyalak2...

so difficultlahhhhhhh
kenot do this lahhhhh
kenot do that lahhhhh
old system is better lahhh

MANGKUKKKKKKKKKK

and best thing is esok aku kena train 50 org on the new process and new system.

imagine kalau 50 org mcm dia.. camner la idup aku esok?

kes kes kes... sadis..

anyway aku teringat zaman presentation kat MBA.

in my finance class aku, Mr Photographer and kak win satu grup dgn abg man - the sifu in finance. so kalau presentation dlm class, bila kena tanya, muka sekor2 blur... and kitorang bertiga akan pandang muka abg man, hoping he will help to answer the question.. muahahahha..

so esok.. i will do the same thing.. tak tau jawab or kena hantam kalu.. aku buat muka blur pandang muka boss!!

kes kes kes..

Weekend update

2007-07-30T23:57:00.000+08:00

I am practically busy as a bee.

Baca online news and blogs pun dah tak sempat. keje keje keje. iskkk.. my normal calling2 time with Mr Photographer in the morning pun dah kdg2 tak sempat.. my normal calling-balqis-after-balik-sekolah pun kdg2 terbabas sampai kol 12 lebih..

nevertheless, i still go back at 5.45 :)

dats what i loooove about my job. 8.45 am masuk (errr.. make it 9 am lah) and 5.45 kalau tak de meeting i can go back. nowadays project baru rollout, so we have meeting once in every 2-3 days.

Last Thursday met the legendary Ayu and Farah. Ayu turun KL kejap.. so sempat lah berjumpa sesama kami. No more CBTL session, officially dah tukar jadik rumah-konot-session. The kids and Bang Matt also came. Meriah i tell u! How i wish the nite never ended...nak borak sepanjang mlm.. tapi apa nak buat... anak masing2 dah start ngantuk.. esok masing2 nak keje.. lupa la plak masing2 dah berlaki beranak pinak.. ingat mcm kat shah alam lagi ek? kehkehkeh..

Photos will be uploaded later.. Mr Photographer sibuk sgt lah..tak nyempat2 nak edit gambo..

So on Saturday Balqis went to the Butterfly Park..

Bangun pagi2 ngamuk... ngantuk!.. pas tu dah start melalak suruh aku teman sekali gi Butterfly Park.. uiks..jgn la buat scene mcm first day kat sekolah.. as usual start la sakit perut dgn muka kesian..but apparently sampai kat sekolah, met her frens.. dah ok dah.. aikkk.. sakit perut pun tiba2 jer hilang... hmpphh.. auta kuat!

Nampak bas dtg, budak2 excited kemain... as usual.. the super duper emo mummy cam nak nangis tgk Balqis naik bas. aku rasa cam.. iskk.. dah beso anak aku ek? apsal aku rasa cam dia ni baby lagi? kalau peluk tu cam susah sgt nak lepas... how la to let her go? iskk..never!

so after dia bertolak, aku pun balik, cooking, cleaning, washing, itu ini, kol 10-12 tuition, then tgk tv while waiting for Balqis to sampai balik. time ni, mak aiii.. i have never felt so empty. sometimes, tanpa sedar, aku punya dok wish i can have time for myself, nak tgk tv, itu ini. ni, dah ada 2-3 hours to myself.. the only thing in my mind is aku nak balqis balik cepat. im bored, im lonely, i miss her... sob sob...

kol 2.30 aku dah tercangak kat sekolah dia... once she got down.. aku rasa cam nak LARIIIII and PELUKKKKK dia! seriously... i know i know very the drama... sampai rumah, dok layan dia makan itu ini, then off we go to Subang!

masuk chapter lain plak...

another activity we did (me, photographer and balqis) is MENGECAT! yes aku tak pernah pegang berus cat ye para hadirin sekalian...

He renovated his bilik bujang to become more family room... partition sket itu ini, bought few furnitures, lampu etc. We will be staying in my parents place during the weekdays, and on weekends balik subang..

Back to mengecat...

aku ingat keje senang cat nih... tapi after 1 1/2 days of mengecat, (err more like jadik assistant ambik itu ini) my whole body especially kaki and hamstring are aching like hell! aku yg buat keje dlm 20% ni pun sakit gini, i kenot imagine Mr Photographer yg non stop naik turun tangga buat keje tuh sakit mcm mana...

but the effort was damn worth it.

bilik kitorang lawa giler ok... hehe.. ye aku masuk bakul angkat sendiri timasih... kira2 nya mcm hotel pun ader la sket2.. sapa nak sewa sila contact aku.. :)

and again.. gambo tak de lagik... nanti lah soh balqis pose dlm *uhuk* hotel *uhuk*

hehhh... less than 2 weeks to go ek? byk lagik benda aku tak der nih... uwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Someone is going to butterfly park!

2007-07-27T16:17:00.000+08:00

Ada org tu nak pergi field trip dgn kawan2 and cikgu dia.. her first ever field trip to Butterfly Park esok!

Org tu excited.. mama pun excited.. tapi mama dia cam cuak pun ader..

iskk..bleh ke budak tu behave kang? nanti kalau terlepas from group mcm mana? iskk.. tolong lah behave ok?

So mama will have half day on her own esok.. hmm.. lets see what shall we do?

spa? sauna? facial? swim? movie?

ohhh.. lupa...

i got TUITION!!!!!!!!!!!

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

2 mummy???

2007-07-25T13:19:00.000+08:00

Last week kot, balqis said to me..

Balqis: Ma.. adik tak nak 2 mummy!!!!
Me: (heran kejap) siapa kata adik ada 2 mummy?
Balqis: Afiqah!

Baru aku ingat, afiqah is her classmate. I met Afiqah's mom before and she is a divorcee, so at this stage I assume that Afiqah's father dah kawin lain kot..

Me: Ohh.. Afiqah ada 2 mummy ke?
Balqis: ha ahhhhhh (dgn muka nak nangis)..dia ada mummy baru and mummy lama...
Me: woooo....
Balqis: Adik tak nak 2 mummy!!! adik nak Ma jer....(dgn muka nak nangis)
Me: Ye la.. adik ada Ma sorang jer.. tak de mummy lain ok?
Balqis: ok (muka sedih)
Me: err.. kalau ada 2 daddy ok tak?
Balqis: haa.. ok!

phew.. lega...

Kisah Benar

2007-07-24T13:57:00.000+08:00

Lama la plak tak update blog...bz beb..

Anyway this happened to my ex husband.... citer betul..

He was on his way to 7-eleven kat Bandar Tun Razak, dlm pukul 12 tgh mlm. Tgh stop kat traffic light merah. Kebetulan pintu kereta tak kunci, tingkap plak terbukak. Tiba2 dtg satu motor dgn 2 org lelaki kat tepi, tanya dia "kenapa tak pakai seat belt?" Ex hubby aku pun kelam kabut ler nak tarik seat belt, then org tu suruh dia keluar tunjuk lesen. Ex hubby aku mintak ID polis as identification, agaknya mamat tu dah marah, terus hulur parang kat leher.

They dragged him out and humban dia masuk kat seat belakang. Tah dari mana dtg lagi 2 org lelaki, masuk dlm kereta. Dlm kereta dok bergelut nak lepas, he was beaten up badly kat kepala and leher. After a while of bergelut, finally 1 of them took a pisau and cucuk his thigh dalam2 and toreh panjang2!!!!! OWWWW MY GOD!! ngilunyer aku dgr!

Time tu ex hubby aku dah lemah, sbb darah byk kuar dia pun dah semi conscious. Sedar2, he is in the middle of semak samun. He can see lampu jalan sayup2 kat depan, so berbekalkan semangat and sedikit energy yg ada, dia pun mengesot keluar from the semak samun towards the jalan raya.

Nasib baik ada kereta peronda lalu, picked him up and went to nearest police station (which is in Nilai) and buat report. He was admitted to hospital for 4 days, 25 stitches kat peha. Wallet, hp and car was stolen...

pheww... mcm drama beb.. i cannot imagine what he went thru. kesian dia... kesian sgt. aku doakan semoga dia cepat sembuh.. tak tahu lah nak cakap mcm mana..but i feel so sorry for him.. i wish he doesn't have to go thru all these nasty experiences.. tapi maybe ada hikmah disebalik dugaan ni..

Friends defined...

2007-07-20T16:14:00.000+08:00

its comforting to know that u still have people u call friends..
people yang u can depend on..
yang boleh offer their help without being asked..

and most importantly the ones that u get super excited when u see them!

oh virus.. where are you?

Nak ngajar anak...

2007-07-19T12:12:00.000+08:00

all these while i wanted to be 100% honest and transparent to balqis. tam ko ngajar dia dgn cara menipu.. u know.. like kalau nak kuar.. tak mo curik2.. kena bagitau elok2.. or kalau tak bley makan junk food, kena cakap elok2 yg junk food is not good.. bukan sbb itu ini..

oh well... i guess kalau dah bebudak tu.. mmg sumerang mmg kena rasa kena tipu dgn mak bapak kot...iskk..

remember balqis ni suka sgt kena dukung sampai malas nak jalan?

semlm nak pergi tuition pun sibuk nak dukung. dia cakap "penat.. i kenot walk la mummy!" aku pun...apa lagik..

me : ohh... kenot walk ek? haiyoooo.. nanti mama kena bawak pergi check dr. lah.. see wat's wrong with your leg.. asyik penat ajer.. i think dr. kena potong kaki.. taruk ubat.. baru kuat!
balqis : alaaaaaaaaa.. tak nak!!
me : bih tu nak buat mcm mana? tak caya cuba tanya kakak (maid). dulu anak kakak pun gitu ler.. asyik2 nak dukung.. pas tu kakak hantar pergi klinik.. dr potong kaki dia.. taruk ubat.. baru kuat buleh jalan sendiri..

(maid aku pun turut bersubahat mengiyakan..)

me : tapi.. kalau balqis dah kuat..boleh jalan.. tak payah la mama hantar pergi klinik.. ni utk budak2 yg asyik nak dukung ajeeee...
balqis : ohh.. (muka tgh pk....kuakaukaukauakuau)
balqis : ma!!! adik rasa kan.. adik cam kuat la... boleh jalan sendiri!

KUAKUAKUAKUAKUAUKAKUKAU.. dan dan tu jugak kuat! iskkk...

Define friends

2007-07-17T15:35:00.000+08:00

i feel a bit down today. becoz of the wedding, been trying to contact all my friends, nak invite diorang. tried my best to contact everybody, mana yg tukar no pun tak bagitahu, i kenot do anything lah.

dlm byk2 kawan, ada jugak a few yg mmg dah lama sgt tak contact. apa dah jadi pun tak tahu. got the number, but somehow nak call pun.. mcm tak nak call. i get this feeling of 'tak tahu nak cakap apa'.

yesterday i meet anis (one of the serangkais) at klcc after work, nak kasik card. aku punya lah excited! ye lah lama tak jumpa.. sempat la borak sekejap. what i wanted to say is that u're supposed to get this excited feeling when meeting old friend u know?

with some of them, somehow i don't have this feeling.. kalau jumpa.. bleh pk lagik tuh..nak tegur ke..tak nak tegur.. nak call ke.. tak nak call.. oh btw i dialled the number.. and was praying hard supaya dia tak angkat.. heh..truk btul! btw mmg no answer pun...so bukan salah aku. :P

naper ek jadi camni? is it me? or is it just diorang?

i miss my friends lah... :(

Ceti oh ceti

2007-07-16T11:06:00.000+08:00

i feel like a ceti nowadays...

i teach tuition on part time basis. now ader 8 students sumer. end of the mth, they will pay the fees. seperti biasa kalau deal dgn orang, diorang ni kdg2 lambat, kdg2 lupa.

maka aku yg hidup kais pagi makan pagi kais ptg makan ptg nih.. start ler cuak sbb duit belum masuk tapi duit yg keluar dah mcm air terjun dah..:)

kak ani dok advise aku.."hang mintak jer.. be professional lah.. bukan mintak hutang.. mmg they hv to pay for your services.. cakap elok2.. jgn aaa..uuu..aa..uuu.. be firm, camner nak buat business nih? camner nak bayar expenses hang nih?"

last week.. dgn muka tak malu.. aku reminded one of the students.. "nanti remind mak pasal fees bulan june ek?"

tadi.. aku call one of the parent.."kak.. cuna ni.. nanti jgn lupa kasik payment for june ek?"

issskkkk!!! i feel so like ceti!!

aku mmg tak reti nak mintak2 hutang.. i guess nanti dah ada tuition center kena hire ceti betul2.. heheheh .. sapa nak apply? kasik resume cepat!

Kutu outbreak!!!

2007-07-15T00:36:00.000+08:00

remember masa kecik2 dulu?

i dunno about u, but i had kutu time sekolah rendah. some said its normal lah..kecik2 gerenti dpt punya... i'm gladddd those time is over!!!

few days ago kak ani called me..

kak ani: liana.. aku nak habaq kat hang.. tadi farah baring atas aku, aku baru perasan rambut dia ada KUTU!!!
me : haaaaaaaaaaaaa????
kak ani : tu la... ni mesti jangkit kat sekolah ni... hang better check rambut balqis.. kot2 berjangkit sekali..

isskkk.... kutu la plakkkkkk..

aku dah start cuak.. tiba2 jer rasa kepala aku plak gatal.. is it kutu? or is it just my feelings? and i suddenly remembered balqis lately selalu tergaru2 kepala.. dia kata gatal! even tho dah shampoo selalu pun dok gatal situ lah jugak... owww noooo...

after checking..mmg sah ler balqis pun dah jangkit.. either dia jangkit kat sekolah or from farah, i'm not sure.. and aku plak..mmg high probability lah jangkit, pasal mmg aku tido dgn balqis..

OWWWWWW NOOOOOOOOO

eh jap side story jap.. time aku nak kawin la skang mcm2 jadik.. like my wart (its getting better btw). and now jari tgn aku dok menggelupas.. and now kutu?????

anyway...

sib baik skang medical technology dah makin bagus.. dulu2 kalau ada kutu i remember mcm2 kena buat.. and makan masa nak elok. skang, beli jer shampoo anti kutu, pakai sekali and Insya Allah dah elok.

si farah pun dah kutu free after pakai shampoo tuh, so i mintak sikit from kak ani for myself and balqis. past 2-3 days ni maid plak been super extra baik (bersalah punya pasal). dia dok manually get rid of the kutu from balqis's hair.

so today (saturday) me and balqis had our kutu-treatment session. even tho dah checked and confirmed i am kutu-free, but for precautions, pakai jer la shampoo tuh.

so now the family is kutu free.. heheh..

Maid punya cerita

2007-07-13T10:46:00.000+08:00

This happened yesterday.. get ready for the most-est hangin-est time of my life...

Balqis has been sick, fever and cough since Tuesday. So semlm duduk rumah jer la, ponteng sekolah. At 11.30, I called home, maid said balqis is sleeping.. okaylah...

At 12 noon, Balqis called me. Tgh melalak sakan minah tu.."nak mama... nak mama.." aku ni ingatkan dia melalak biasa. coz normally kalau bangun tidur dia akan nangis cari aku. So aku pun dok la pujuk cam biasa...

Ada la dekat 10 minit, then I heard my maid's voice.."dahh..dah.. ok.. ok..." then maid said to me "Saya pergi buang sampah.. dia terjaga dari tidur..." then she continued pujuk Balqis..then terus letak phone..

I was like... HUHHHHHH??????? terkedu seribu bahasa.. jantung aku mcm nak terkeluar!!

Wat the hell man?? U mean u left her alone in the house sleeping, kuar buang sampah, then Balqis woke up alone and crying hysterically alone??

Remember the time I trapped in the lif and Balqis was outside alone.. how I felt cam nak mati dgr balqis nangis and jerit sorang2.. well.. this time it was like 10 times rasa mcm tuh, plus rasa nak marah and menjerit kat maid.... can u imagine?

I mean.. God.. wat was she thinking? ke she did not even think? giler ke hapa? kalau budak tu kena kidnap ke, rumah terbakar ke..apa ke.. iskk..nauzibillah..

Lepas terkedu for a minute, I tried to call back the house.. no answer.. I called her hp..

Maid: Hallo..
Me: Apa ni kak???
Maid : Saya pergi buang sampah..
Me: Kenapa tinggal dia sorang2?
Maid : Dia kan tidur..
Me : Ye la sampah tu tak boleh tunggu ke? Kalau jadi apa2 tadi mcm mana? Akak tak fikir ke? Tolong la akak..kenapa buat mcm ni? (God knows how much I tried to control and not to yell and maki hamun dia masa nih)
Maid : ok..ok.. sorry...sorry...

Aduihhhh.. sorry naik lori la beb...

Aku jadi mcm nak gila... mcm helpless.. ye la.. org tinggal2 anak aku camtuh.. ingat anak kucing? Told my mom about this. Mak aku tanya dia (maid) elok2..wat happened? She (maid) said she's very sorry, mmg dia admit mistake dia...

After 4 yrs++, ni la 1st time jadik benda gini.. I mean.. sebelum ni mmg byk ler benda2 aku tak puas hati..tapi asalkan jaga Balqis elok, aku tolerate jer la.. tapi dah jadi gini, aku cam hilang trust sikit..

But looking at her expression, somehow I know dia mmg ikhlas minta maaf, and rasa bersalah amat sgt.

Well I guess no matter how hangin I am, aku tetap maafkan dia. But this time only lah.. kalau jadik same case mcm ni lagik.. mmg aku kena pikir balik lah...

Side story sikit..

menda2 mcm ni buat aku jadik helpless.. pasal mcm mana hangin pun, u still hv to depend on them (maids).. i know i know boleh hantar nursery itu ini.. tapi i guess generally, at some point in any situation, things are out of your control and you just have to depend on something.. tu yg buat aku frustrated sket..

secondly.. do you know that Balqis can dial my number oredi? hehhe.. I'm so glad u know.. she can hafal my hp number.. tu pasal masa dia bangun, tak de org, she pick up the phone and dialled my number.. clever girl kan???

malangnya she was crying hysterically that she unable to sampaikan message yg she was alone that time. i tot nangis biasa.. so ptg semlm i told her..

me: lain kali kalau adik nak tepon mama, jgn nangis2.. cakap elok2.. baru mama paham..
balqis: tapi adik rasa mcm nak nangis...
me: nangis sikit2 sudah la..lepas tu cakap elok2 bleh?
balqis: tapiiii..adik nak nangis byk2...

iskk..ni lagi sorang emo btul.. hmm..mana lah dpt ek? hehehhe

heh..now aku nak gelak la.. semlm.. cam nak guling2 nangis kat ofis..

Virus yang pandai

2007-07-09T11:27:00.000+08:00

Remember I wrote that I hv to conduct training? Dah lepas dah pun.. tu yg sibuk bebenor lately. Last week, 1 day before my session was D's session. Pagi tu dia start sakit tekak, after her session, she started having fever and terus MC till next day.

Oh how I wish aku kena jugak virus yg sama so I don't hv to conduct training!

Tapi virus ni pandai sgt....

Next morning mmg doa aku dimakbulkan partly.. dah start sorethroat.. but that's it lah.. nothing more.. haiyaa.. no alasan to MC. Training has to go on. Sib baik participant sikit.. pheww.. legaaa..

Habis training sampai la Friday, okay jer aku..

Masuk weekend.. tarus sakit! Sakit kepala, selsema, kahak and sorethroat!

Masuk Monday (today) dah baik...

Pandai ek virus nih.. nak bagi aku jadik employee yg berdedikasi. Ke tahu sbb aku blum confirm so kena tunjuk rajin.. muahahahahhaha..

My first nite sleeping without Balqis failed!!

2007-07-03T16:38:00.000+08:00

Plan to train her sleep on her own. Even tho not in seperate room, but in my current room she has her own area. So we use existing single mattress, beli cadar pooh yg cantik2, bantal yg comel2, and obviously, dia mmg suka gila and willingly nak tidur on her new 'bed'.

The tilam is placed right beside my bed, so pagi2 just tolak jer tilam tu masuk bawah katil. Mlm2 kuarkan and tadaaa.. she has her own 'bedroom'.

The first nite, after tutup lampu, she told me "ma, gi la tidur atas katil ma, adik tidur sendiri" erkk.. ok.. aku kena halau huhuhh..

ok lah..after few times saying good nite and hugs and kisses, i just watched her fall asleep. then i tried to sleep.. after few moments, iskk.. tak bley tido i tell u.. rasa cam pelik.. i feel the urge nak tido bawah dgn balqis. just watching her is not enough.

nevertheless i just ignored and tried again to sleep. after few moments i think i fell asleep, when i heard balqis merengek minta susu. i qucikly wake up and buat her susu, and i felt mcm tido tak lena.. mcm.. rasa2 cam lelap..tapi tak lena.. paham dak?

so after buat susu balqis..aku pun join sekali dia tido bawah,.. hehe.. and u know.. aku tido lena sampai pagi... best!!

now dah masuk 3rd nite, i am still adapting.. sighh..tak bleh tahan la tido sorang2..
