Welcome Baby!!

Tahniah buat aznor n fazli yang baru je dapat cahaya mata lelaki di Hosp Ipoh awal pagi semalam. Hehe.. bila dia besar sikit, boley citer kat dia santa claus hantar dia masa christmas. Hehehe... takla.. lawak je.

Apa pun, aku belum tepon aznor lagi nak congratulate dia on the newborn. Musti dia tengah letih, tak tidur malam sbb in labour. So, aku takmola kacau dia semalam. InsyaAllah, kejap lagi kang nak tepon.. pastu nak suh dia mms sikit gambar baby. :)

Sekali lagi, congratulations to aznor n fazli for the latest addition to their family!! :D

Binatang

Hari ni di Harian Metro, kisah dua beranak, diulangi DUA BERANAK, bapak dan anak 16 thn di Butterworth rogol budak... no.. correction.. BAYI. 20 months old baby to be exact.

My clerk told me about this. Upon hearing, memang aku tak tertahan rasa sebak.. terus mengalir je air mata. I just don't get it. Macam mana manusia yang Allah bagi akal tergamak buat benda macam tu kat baby yang tak tau apa2, yang mengharapkan orang dewasa simpati dan jaga dia, yang tak boleh defend diri dia sendiri... Perangai mengalahkan binatang.. binatang pun tak main dengan anak binatang yang tak baligh lagi... Ni bukan setakat dia sorang, ajak anak bawah umur buat sekali. Apa kejadah.. Apa lah nak jadi dunia akhir zaman. Makin ramai orang yang ingat dunia je macam diri masing2 tak mungkin mati satu hari nanti. azab Allah tu buat macam cerita dongeng yang takkan berlaku je. Wallahualam. Semoga dijauhkan dari kegelapan hati.

Aku doakan ibu dan anak yang dizalimi tu diberi kekuatan oleh Allah SWT. Semoga Allah selamatkan anak2 kita semua dari kezaliman dunia dan akhirat. Semoga yang menzalimi diberikan hukuman setimpal di dunia dan akhirat.

Malam Tadi Dalam Sejarah

Wah.. dari pagi tadi nak cerita kisah ni, tapi tak berkesempatan. POst kejap la sambil buat speech ni. Ngantuk lak layan speech petang2...

Something special happened last night. :) Hubby takde, gi detachment Manila since two nights ago. Biasanya, my little daughter mmg akan tidur on our bed, kat tengah2. Ntah kenapa, monday night, dia sendiri2 pergi naik atas katil dia (cot dia yg kitorgdah tukar pengahdangtepi tu dengan bed railing, so she can climb into and out of bed easily), selimutkan diri sendiri, kissed me goodnight and said night2 to me, and stayed in her bed. this was rather weird sebab sebelumni memang la kitorang pernah try suh dia tidur kat katil sendiri but to no avail, and we've stopped trying a couple of months ago. Sebab ingat biarla dulu, sampai dia dah stop breastfeeding, takpela, baru train dia tidur katil sendiri.

Alih-alih, last night pulak, lepas her daily dose of night time nursing (which is usually done lying down on the big bed), she got up of the big bed and went to her little bed, and got ready for sleep there. konfius lagi skali la aku ni. tapi aku biar je la. Yang the previous night tu, akhirnya dia naik balik ke katil aku sbb dgr anjing menayalak2 bising kat luar. Last night pulak, dia baring sambil main2 dengan doll dia, last2 dah pukul 11.30, she called out "Mummy!" and i went over, tepuk2 sampai dia tidur, and she slept through. Sampai dalam 4.30 baru dia nak her morning nursing fix, and brought her back to bed with me.

Hmmm... dah besar anak aku. Nak tidur sendiri. I'm back alone in my bed. Rasa macam pelik... biasanya ada si kecik kat sebelah yang within arm's reach je. Ni dia dah pergi tidur kat katil sendiri. Sigh!~ Mommy feels so alone in that big bed. Hmm.. tetiba rasa macam sebak pulak. Tu baru dia gi pindah katil, still inthe same room. Sok dia nak stop breastfeeding, nak pindah bilik, nak gi skolah asrama, nak dipinang orang.. camnela pulak akunye sebak kan.... Huhu..

Betuila apa Dr.Nora cakapkat aku haritu.. enjoy and savour each moment when your baby is still a baby. nakal sikit2 tu biasa la. Take it all in. nanti bila dia dah besar, you'll be missing the time when they're still babies..

*P/s: anak aku telah mula menggunakan perkataan NO dengan meluas. "Sarah would you like too speak on the phone/change diaper/eat/drink water/shower now...." "No." Sigh!~

Cuti Cuti di PD....

Salam kepada kawan kawan. Sori, lama tak update. Biasala, cuti skolah.. so saya pun cuti cuti gak.. walaupun anak belum mula skolah. :D Haha.. Dalam masa 2 minggu, 3 kali berulang alik ke PD.. tu la nak pergi sangat kan.. Hah, hambek ko... pergila PD tu puas2.. padan muke aku. Hahahahahaa...
First time pergi bagi ceramah... Pastu gi bercuti kat Avillion.. pastu kena datang bengkel pulak kat Corus... kira aku hafal dah la jalan gi PD tu... (series Nura, aku hafal...)

Holiday@Avillion

Our holiday at Avillion PD wasn't as great as we thought it would be. Why? It was school holidays and we booked the hotel over the weekend.. so memang nahas la kan. Orangpunyala ramai, especially from the neighbouring country. Pool penuh orang, breakfast pun kena line up, garden chalet tu agak bising orang lalu lalang.. waarrrghhhh... Tak la kata tak best langsung. Best tu tetap best, especially bila dengar kekekan sarah dalam swimming pool, sambil main2 dengan daddy dia, tengok dia and daddy enjoy each others company, the way she enjoyed the live band... seronok... yang tak best tu sbb terlalu banyak orang... bad timing.. Takpelah.. since voucher pun banyak lagi.. we're planning to go again... NOT during the school holidays.

Oh.. during that time, we also tried dining at the sister hotel, Avillion Admiral Cove. The hotel is ok i guess (tak tgk bilik pun..) pool besar, cantikla.. Food pun murah. Steak boleh tahan.. pasta pun ok... Boleh la kalau nak pergi lagi..

Hari Raya Aidil Adha

Balik dari bercuti, terus ke rumah mama untuk beraya... Biasa2 je sambutan raya haji tahun ni. Berkumpul dengan sanak saudara.. tapi tak semua gak yang balik. My closest cousin pun balik kg dia, so tak jumpe.. Petang raya tu, balik umah in laws pulak. My BIL and SIL pun ada, bari balik from Doha for holidays. So dapatla sarah jumpa kakak almaz dia. Sayang bukan main diorang dua org. Kejap2 peluk, kejap2 cium. Apa kakak almaz dia buat, dia ikut... bila dah balik umah pun dok tanya kakak almaz where? Iskk..

PD lagi

On the 11th, gi PD lagi.. bengkel SKT PKT pulak. buat kat corus.. tapi kitorg yang golongan marhen ni duduk kat apartment.. yg bos2 dok kat hotel. Ya rabbi... apartment dia.. run down gila2. Teruk banget!! Bayangkan la... Bath mat pun guna towel potong dua.. cermin pun takat ada satu je dalam bilik air. Sayang.. sebab kalau maintain, mesti cantik.. Tapi sebab very poorly maintained... teruk sangat. Dahla tu... swimming pool berkeladak. Geli tengok...

End of Holiday

Sigh!~ mulai semalam, tamatla sudah percutian... Hehe.. ala.. pergi bengkel tu kira bercuti la tu... Semalam patut masuk keje.. tapi aku dapat mc masa pergi chechkup sbb tak sehat. Chechkup follow up dengan gynae pasal IUD tu la.. pastu check berat.. heheh... i dah tuwun 4 kelo la.... wawww.. Rasanya macam dua tiga hari lepas timbang kat pantai turun 3 kelo je.. hehe.. primanora punya timbang lagi ringan ni... bagus... bagus..Heheh.. bestnya!! kena tuwun lagi 4 kelo... chaiyuk!!!

Little Sayang-Girl

Seperti yang telah dijanjikan kat Nura, ni some of the most recent of sarah's pics. Sigh!~ Macam macam ada...

Gambar ni amek kat playground at our housing area. Kalau tak silap yang ni masa second time bawak dia pergi playground. Suka bukan main. Nak ajak balik pun susah!

This was sarah's first ice cream. double chocolate. daddy yang pilih, and daddy yang suap. Puas hati la dia makan kan... Tapi takdela kitorang bagi semua kan.

This was taken last week, if i'm not mistaken. Masa tu i left her to watch tv while i went for prayers. Pintu bilik biar bukak je so that i can see her from inside the room. Masa tengah pakai2 telekung, tengok dia baikkk punya posing. apa lagi.. snap gambar dulu... hehehe...


Gambar ni masa baru belikan dia sunglasses. Daddy dia la ni, risau anak dia silau la, kena UV ray la.. Well.. kerisauan yang berasas la kan. Tapi, sunglasses tu besar, jadik dia takleh nak pakai lagi. apapun, gambar ni konon2 macam pandai sangat je pakai sunglasses tu. Style la konon. Pastu everytime kitorg naik kete, mesti dia mintak, " mummy, glasses.." hehe.. samapi kena sorok glasses tu dalam umah since dia takleh pakai lagi. Takut tercucuk lak mata kang..

Gambar ni goyang2 sikit, sebab aku snap masa aku tgh drive. Sarah kat seat belakang. Tu la, galok sgt nak pakai gak glasses.. Terbalik pun terbalik la, janji dapat pakai kan... Tu yang tak tahan tu.. Musti snap jugek.. Sok dia nak kawen sok, tunjuk kat bakal hasben dia. Heheheee...

Itu ler dia, antara updates on my pip squeak's piccas. Kejap je dah besar... Tahun depan dah masuk 2 tahun... Cepatnya masa berlalu...

HFMD

Aduii... minggu kebelakangan ni rasa macam tak berapa sihat. Alhamdulillah.. diberi peluang kifarah dosa sikit2. Hehe. Last few days dok batuk kung kang kung kang... selsema, badan macam nak demam.. Hari ni pulak, perut buat hal, muntah2, loya2.. eh... lain macam je.. preknen ke aku?? Hehehe... Kalau ikut logik, tak mungkin.. tapi kalau Dia kata jadi, jadilah ia, kan?? Tapik, mungkin tak kot.. salah makan je nih rasanya.. isk.. apola yg aku makan sampai perut jadik begini.. Huhuhu..

Selasa lepas, sebelum pergi ke PD utk ceramah francais i, dah selamat la register kan sarah utk program REALTots di CEC putrajaya. Kitorg enroll dia utk 2 day pgm je dulu. Bila dia dah syok kat situ nnt baru increase 3 hari, dan seterusnya terus menerus kat situ.

Ceramah francais i di PD (kalau tak silap kali ke-3 bg lecture nih).. alhamdulillah, rasanya lebih baik dari lecture aku dulu kat Quality Hotel. Yg tu mmg takde mood nak pegi sbb bos baru kasik tau ptg tu. Menggelabah aku call in laws mintak tlg jaga sarah. Anyways, kali ni, campur dengan soal jawab semua, dapatla jugek sejam setengah,ok la tu, buat permulaan. Hehehe...

Semalam, owner nursery cakap org jabatan kesihatan dtg and seal satu bilik. Bilik budak 6 mths - 12 mths kena kuarantin, sbb ada budak yg kena Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD). Aduhhh... nasib baik diorg tak tutup satu sekolah. Dua minggu tu, sapa nak jaga budak2. Pengsan mak2 sume nak cuti sampai 2 minggu. kononnya, ada budak baru masuk yg bawak jangkitan tu. Kena dekat salah seorang budak dlm bilik tu, mak dia kata dr kata takde apa2.. Alih2, satu bilik kena. Isk.. naya je budak2 lain dan mak2 budak2 lain kat situ. Tak patut la kan. Kalau dah tgk anak lain macam je, jgn la htr skolah. Demam sikit2 mungkin ok lagi. Ni anak dah sampai ada melepuh dalam mulut (aku dgr cite mak lain la), takkan takde apa2 kan?? Huhu.. Aku tiap2 hari balik je dari nursery pun skang ni terus check sarah. Tapak tangan, kaki, mulut.. kot2 la ada kan.. Tapi, mohon dijauhi la...

Macam macam la.. apapun, kepada kengkawan yg akan htr baby ke nursery, jaga2 la ek. HFM ni sangat mudah berjangkit especially among kids under 5 years old. Mak2 pun buleh kena juga ye. Jadi take good care of yourselves and your little darlings.

Little Pip Squeak

As a perk-me-up on this wet monday morning (plus the fact tht i didn't get to watch my boss on selamat pagi malaysia this morning coz the darn astro broke down), i'll update on my little dear pip squeak.

Sarah is currently 22 months old, only 2 months away from the terrible two. Somehow, we think she's started with the terrible two's qualities. Sigh!~ She can speak quite a number of words now. From simple words like banana and shoes to more advanced word like ointment. I can understand her most of the time. I'm not sure if others could too though. Hehe.

My hubby and i, we turn to jelly when she says mummy or daddy in her sweetest voice, while bending her body sideways. (Boleh bayang tak?) Iskk... and believe me when i say she knows when and how to use that weapon of hers. Iskk.. sabar je la..

Sometimes, she surprises us with the things that she's capable of. One of which is singing. She can sing quite a number of nursery rhymes (some of which i only come to know recently, thanks to Bananas In Pajamas), macam Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, The Wheels On A Bus, Little Nut Tree, Polly Put The Kettle On. Sigh!~ I think that came from the daily dose of Bananas In Pajamas/Barney that she watches. We limit it to one episode a day only though. Tak sanggup nak tgk dvds after dvds of the two bananas nor the purple dinosour.

One day, when i was in the kitchen preparing dinner, she was in the maid's room, playing and i could hear the radio from that room. The song on air was "No One" by Alicia Keys. Then she came to me and sang "No one, no one, no one..." and i was like.. whaa...? And then there's this other time, in the car when the song "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. Tiba to this line, "I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure..." ada pulak suara kecik yang turut sama nyanyi. Well, of course she can't say all the words perfectly, buti was really amazed that she could sing along to that tune!! I mean, me the adult can't catch the lyrics of that song that much, tiba2 my 21 mths old daughter sing along to that very song?? Wallaweyy...

Sigh!~ Sarah, sarah. (and i feel that i could hear her repeating after me, "sarah, sarah"). Macam macam.

Oh.. updates on the school. We went to see the two schools that we intended to see last saturday. The first school we saw was pathetic, so it's a definite no-go. The second school (which i went on my own earlier this month), was ok. I came to know that the school isn't a franchise system, which to me is good since the monitoring will be direct from the HQ. We got to meet the principal, and my hubby and i think that it's worth giving a shot. The price is quite high, but which parent doesn't want the best for their kids, right? So we're going to get her registered for 2009 session, but we'll start off with 2 days/week sessions, so that the change won't be too abrupt for her.

Ok.. off to update my presentation for tmrw's lecture. :)

Wahhh.. Bizinyee!!

Semenjak dua menjak i dapat bos baru ni, buleh dikatakan agak bizi. Kalau dulu tepat kol 5 musti balik, sekarang ni kadang2 terbabas sampai 5.45... Tu pun sbb nak amek sarah kat nurseri sebelum nurseri tutup kol 6.. Kalau sarah ada kat umah, tak pasal sampai kol 7 agaknya. Isk.. takmola.. Lepas kol 5 i ada tanggungjawab lain pulak nak buat, kan??

Tapi, aku tak kisah sangat bizi kerja dgn bos baru ni. Sebabnya, nampak dia ada arah tuju, dan tau serba serbi, termasukla akta itu ini yang memang kitorang selalu pakai dan refer. So much the opposite of my ex boss yang know nothing and doesnt give a ding dong about learning and knowing what he should know. Yang dia tau, dapat peluang pergi overseas, keluar office, amek gambar, gumbira la dia. Sigh!~ macam macam orang kat dunia ni.

So, alhamdulillah, walaupun bahagian kitorang ni sangatla kekurangan manpower, sampaikan kitorg dapat invitation utk dinner, 2 table, tapi kalau semua org kat ofis ni pergi pun takleh penuh meja tu; tapi takla rasa pressure sangat. Sebab boss reasonable. Dia seorang yang straight, ikut buku punya orang, at the same time, boleh bincang, reason, dan jugak boleh layan mengarut, lagi pulak, bagi tazkirah pun terer. Harap2nya, lama la aku kerja dgndia, dan kalauboleh, banyak la ilmu yg aku buleh belajar dari dia. Lama gak aku tunggu utk dapat boss yang elok2 sikit nih.

Ni sesambil proses application sempat la blogging jap. Next week aku kena gi PD, bagik ceramah francais. Isk.. dalam pada aku takmo jadi lecturer, kena gak buat. akubukan apa.. masalahnya, aku ni kalau bercakap dgnkawan2 buleh la, dgnpenuh semangat waja diri.. bila part nak kena bagi lecture ni.. alahaiii.. masuk seploh minit pertama, dah kering idea aku. Iskk.. guano ekk?? Pastu cakap laju mengalahkan motorbot. Nak kata gabra tu, adagakla sikit2... tapi isk... ntahla.. Kengkawan lecturer ku, macammana korang bagi lecture 2 jam ek?? Aku susah la nak lepas 10 minit pun. Isk.. bagi idea sket, seblom aku gebang kat budak2 KPM minggu depan ni...

?

Isk.. macam nak bersawang dah blogni rupanya. Lebih seminggu tak updet ye.. hehe.. Keje banyak la sikalangg...

Aku haritu ada save as draft satu posting kat notebook kat umah kat blogger ni. Pastu aku tutup je notebook sbb ingat nk tambah gamba, tapi tak semapt sbb nak menidurkan sarah dulu. Lepas tu, aku tak tau mana nak cari balik draft tu.. Isk.. kat mana blogger save kan ek? Isk.. penat i mengarang syahdu syahdan pasal anniversary i.. isk..

Mula2 ingat tak larat nak posting harini. Perut tgh terik, mengadap yong tow foo tadi. Masa beli nampak sikit.. Perrghh... sengkak gak perut bila dah makan.. Uhuhuhu... Otak pun dah jadik lembab sket sbb darah semua dah tertumpu ke perut. Hahaha.. tapape.

Tapi, lepas aku baca posting Nura, aku rasa cam terpanggil lak nak posting jugek. Bestnya sistem skolah kat Jepun, and also kat UK, yg mcm aku bc dr kDilla n kSalmi. Lain la skolah tempat first world mentality dgn skolah kat tempat third world mentality. Sorry to say la, like it or not, Malaysia masih banyak org dgn third world mentality, which is a shame since we have first class facility. Antara contoh, kadang2 masa aku htr sarah gi skolah, ada la ibu2 yg mengendong baby kecik kat sebelah tangan, sebelah lagi kendong beg baby tu, pastu tu kang kelam kabut pulak nak bukak pintu. aku ni jauh lagi nak tlg tarikkan pintu. Yang laki that lady pulak boleh just kiss bini ngan anak dia, pastu belah, takde teringat pun nak bukakkan pintu utk bini dan anak sendiri. Sanggup tgk bini sendiri terkial2 nak bukak pintu dgn tangan penuh. Macam haprak. Maaf cakap la kan.

Tak kurang jugak, ada parents yg lantak la anak dia nak buat apa. Kalau pegi beli groceries tu, berapa ramai anak2 berkeliaran berlari sana sini, mak bapak sibuk shopping je. Anak dia lari langgar orang ke, main2 troli langgar budak kecik ke, mak bapak dia kalau nampak pun buat tak nampak je. Haritu, ada sekali kat toys r us, dia ada display playhouses, so sarah pergi main kat situ. Pastu, adaanother girl datang masuk kat playhouse yg sarah tgh main. Sarah marah2 budak tu dari luar. Aku tarik sarah, and cakap kat dia "Sarah, play nice. You have to share". Lepas budak tu pulak tolak2 sarah. Bapak dia duduk kat tepi tu buat bodoh je tengok. Agaknya memang bodoh kot, bukan buat bodoh.

I'm not saying i'm a perfect mom/parent. Sesungguhnya aku ni memang banyak kekurangan. Tapi kadang2 aku geram bila tengok ada mak bapak yg biar je anak2 buat sukahati tanpa jagaan. Budak tu nak rude, biar, budak tu tak behave, bair. Semua biar.. macam jaga anak tu bukan keje diorang. Habis tu, kerja mak bapak apa? Buat anak je?

Sigh!~ bila la orang malaysia ni nak berubah?

Fun Weekend

Alhamdulillah, i had a great weekend, considering that my hubby's away and i managed to fill my weekend with activities, that's fun enough for me. Hehe.

On Saturday, went to this child enrichment centre open day in putrajaya, in my quest to find a school for sarah. Verdict? Entahla ek. Somehow the way this particular teacher entertained me kinda make me feel quite reserved on sending sarah there. The very first thing that she mentioned was the fee structure, which i think wasn't a very good approach when you're trying to promote your centre in terms of child enrichment programs and activities. Tak habis2 cerita about fee structure. I had to ask her what the program was all about? First time tanya, she acted like the cat got her tongue. Like she doesn't even have the slightest clue of what the program is about and she diverted into talking about something similar, but not answering my question (huh.. deja vu.. sounds like KJ doesn't it? hehe.) When i asked again the second time around, barula menggelabah selak leaflet, telling me about the program offered. Hmm.. susahla kalau cikgu sendiri pun don't know crap about the program they're offering kan. So that kinda put me off on sending sarah there.

Dari segi physical place/ environment pulak, she said the baby room is not ready. Aku macam pelik jugak apehal minah ni dok ckp abt baby room when my girl obviously belongs to the toddler room. Tempat dia ok la. Nak kata hebat sangat pun tak, but above average la rasanya. One thing i like about this place is they claim to potty train the kids. But then again claiming and actually carrying it out are two very different things, no?

Jadi, keputusannya, wallahualam. Tunggu Dan balik, let him check the place out and there's one more place to check out as well.

Balik dari tgk that school, pergi rumah kawan ptd dekat2 putrajaya tu. Budak2 single buat makan2. Seronok la, dapat jumpa ramai member2 se-batch yang dah lama tidak ketemu. Hehe.. ada juga yang tak perasan aku sama batch dgn diorg. Isk.. either aku ni sangat low profile, atau aku ni sangat kera sumbang. Hahahahhaa..

Family Day

On Sunday pulak, pagi2 aku dah bawak sarah, angkut maid sekali utk bawak brg2 sarah ke Botanical Garden, Putrajaya. Ministry buat family day kat situ. Masa sampai, sarah tidur lagi. Masa aku kendong dia nak register, baru dia bangun. So bawak dia breakfast, pastu tukar baju dia, pakaikan kasut, ontime orang nak start aerobics. Sarah pun dah beriya2 nak join nampaknya, so aku pun angkut la dia masuk padang. Perhh.. beriya-iya dia mengangkat2 kaki ikut instructor... Hehehe... Pastu sambung poco2 pulak. Dia pun sama naik dengan mummy dia. Hehe.. Tapi rugila dah lupa banyak step poco2.... iskk.. kalau tak buleh i berdua2 dgn anak i berpoco-pocoan.. Hehe..

Pastu bawak dia gi coloring pulak. Posingnya dah beriya2, hasilnya kira ok la untuk budak 19 bulan kan. Hehe..

By tengah hari, sarah pun dah ngantuk. Dalam kol 1.45 chow, tak tunggu habis pun. Ingat nak tunggu lucky draw. Dapat tv ke beskal ke, dah plan dah camne nak atur kat boot kete. Hehehe.. berangan je lebih. Karaoke lama sangat, malas nak tunggu. So kitorg pun balik la... dapat penat je la jadinya kan... Tapi nanti nak tanya urusetia mana nak cari gambar. aku notice ada photographer yg amek gamba sarah tgh menari2...

T.A.R.A 3

Entah macam mana, this year i got hooked on watching the amazing race asia. Maybe sebab interested tengok Ida Nerina kot. last night their first road block was bungee jumping from the Macau Tower. Perhh.. teringat zaman2 kena buat abseilling. You just can't imagine how high up you are until you're actually up there... looking down... GULP!.. Sigh.. masa tengok semalam, aku yang rasa seram sejuk, sampai hujung2 jari semua sejuk.. Tapape tah... Macam la aku yang kena terjun. Teringat jugak masa terjun kat USM pool masa belajar dgn pakcik zainoba... korang ingat tak kita beratur terjun dengan budak2? hahahahahaaa....

Last night, one of the Malaysian team, Bernie & Henry got eliminated from the race, which was quite upsetting. Tapi Ida's team managed to arrive a couple of minutes behind Geoff and Tish, so they're still in the race but kena penalty 30 mins, so they ended up third, behind A.D and Fuzzy. Heh. Paehal aku beriya2 sangat review race semalam. Heheh. Apapun, all the best to the Malaysian gurls. Go kick asses!!

Ingat nak sambung postingdengan tajuk lain pulak.. karang2 la pulak.. erkk.. perut rasa cam senak plak.. makan roti canai sekeping rasa cam kenyang gile.. adakah itu tanda2 perut sudah mengecil, makanya takleh masuk banyak2? buleh makan setengah je roti canai.. Hehehe.. mungkin kot... mungkin..... :p

How do I report??

Hmm.. kisahnya macam ni. Aku buat paper dan SEMUA persiapan utk lawatan kerja YBM, with the help of my clerk. The boss who went was a first timer on abroad trade mission and was quite clueless on what to do and somewhat depended on me to get everything done. Aku la yang kena balik lambat uruskan dengan pihak kedutaan and TC di Milan, yang buat kabinet paper, yang tunggu KSU habis meeting after office.. Yang angkut anak utk sama2 tunggu KSU kat ofis dia.. Lepas tu, akutak pergi pun lawatan tu., which i don't mind at all sebab aku pun tak suka bila kena join mission luar negara and tinggalkan anak kat umah.

Yang buat aku bengang sekarang ni, bos aku tu sambung cuti. Dia dah bagi nota hasil lawatan kat the other division. Oh.. lupa mention.. yang pergi ni 2 div sbb pergi 2 tempat. Aku kena compile n selaras nota hasil.. takpe, aku understand sbb ikutkan paper kena masuk semalam. Sekarang bos the other division arah aku utk buat full report utk lawatan ke BOTH countries. Wajar ke? akuni dah la langsung tak tau apa yg berlaku, apa yang dilawat, apa yang dibuat, tup2 aku kena buat report, pilih gambar and what not. What the hell... gamba tu kat mana amek pun aku tak tau. Habis tu nnt officer dia balik buat apa? Saja duduk2 cerita2 pengalamn berjalan2 di europe??

Mesti orang ingat aku jeles sebab aku tak dapat pergi sbb tu aku bising2. Bukan. Aku tak jeles langsung. Rezeki masing2la. Lagipun priority orang berbeza2. Ada orang kemaruk nakpergi overseas dgn duit kerajaan. Aku pun bukan tak nak pegi.. Teringin juge, tapi aku tak nak pegi on work basis. Kalau aku nak pergi pun, aku nak pergi dengan family, utk holiday. Gunala duit sendiri mana yang mampu. Tak payah pergi walaupun semua ditanggung Kerajaan pun takpe, janji aku tak kena tinggal anak aku tidur malam without me being at her side if anything happens.

Last year pun akubagiorg lain pergi jugak, walaupun aku yg kerja teruk buat preps. Takpe..janji aku tak kena tinggalkan anak aku. Tapi last year aku takdela pulak kena buat report. Tanggungjawab pegawai yang pergi la buat report. Logik ke orang tak pergi buat report lawatan? Logik ke???

Open House Raya

Bila last aku post haritu ek?? entahla.. rasa macam dah lama dah.. tapi tak la lama sangat kot. Anyways, banyak perkara yang dah berlaku. Takziah kepada Dr Bad sekeluarga atas pemergian K.Midah. Kalau fikirkan tahap2 pemikiran kita yang biasa2 ni, rasa kesian kat anak2 dia. Macam mana la diorang nanti. Tapi, bila fikir balik, sesungguhnya Allah maha mengetahui segala sesuatu, dan Allah sentiasa memberi yang terbaik kepada hambaNya. Aku ingat lagi, pernah satu malam masa Family Day Hj Rusli kat Melaka, i was up crying half the night terfikir what if i die tomorrow and what will become of my daughter. So young and so dependant of me. Tapi, fikir2 balik, semuanya ketetapan Allah. InsyaAllah, kalau kita minta dari Dia yang baik2 utk anak dan keluarga, insyaAllah di beri. Mungkin bukan ikut apa yang kita minta, tapi ikut apa yang terbaik untuk kita, walaupun pada masa tu kita tak rasa benda tu yang terbaik. Semua orang pun tahu kan benda tu, tapi sama2 la kita remind each other ye. :)

Selain citer sedih, ada jugak citer gembira. Nura dah selamat kat Fukuoka, dah beli beskal, danish dah nak masuk skolah, cik abang dia nak belajar Nihon.. Waa.. bestnye. CikD pun dah nak ke jepun gak tak lama lagi. Pastu kang nurul pulak akan menyusul. Aku?? Hehehe.. entah. Kalau ada rezeki, aku pun nak buat masters tapi, bukan sambung yang aku dah tergantung dulu. Aku nak buka episod baru.. hehe.. aku nak buat masters in economy or something along that line, memandangkan kerja aku lebih ke arah itu. Tapi, susah la nak dapat ke obersi kalau pelajaran tu ada offer kat sini. Hmm.. Tengokla nanti macam mana. Tunggu aku dah 48 confirm dulu ye. Baru selesa nak cuti belajar pun. :) Tak lama lagi dah tu, insyaAllah... ;)

Sigh!~ Boring la kat umah, hasben tadek. Detachment Beijing 2 minggu. Kalau Beijing bukan winter sekarang ni, best gak kalau ikut kan. Tapi leceh jugak, pasal makan. Hasben pun kali ni pegi segala makanan dihangkut dari umah, termasuk susu UHT. Melamine scare punya pasal. hmm.. nak buat camne kan. Better be safe than sorry.

eh.. tajukpostingni open house kan, tadi? Hehe.. takde kena mengena langsung dengan posting. Ala, open house, biasa la raya2 ni. Tiap2 weekend ada orang buat open house. Kat office pulak, selang dua tiga hari ada je bahagian buat open house. Puasa 6 pun tak sempat. Heh. Hampeh je kan? Galok sgt gi open house sampai puasa 6 thn ni tergadai. Huhu.. Bengong betul. Anyways... lepas dah habis pesta open house ni, buleh la start bayar hutang puasa. Uhuhu.. Kurangkan balik berat yang ditambah semasa pergi ke open house demi open house... Huhuhu...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Belated Birthday Puan Aznor!! Sorry ler, saya tak sempat nak call awak semalam.. Tertido dah sambil teman sarah layan barney. Huhu.. dah tak larat nak tengok dah barney.. Tu yang terlena terus.. Hehe..

Apapun, hope it was a great birthday ya!

School Search

Arghhh... bermula semula episod scouting for a school to send my dotter to. I think she's outgrown her daycare, so i'm searching to a good, english medium playschool to send her to. There're lots of good playschools around bangsar and damansara, but.. humang la jauhnye kan. Tengah scouting for putrajya/cyberjaya area. Doakan semgoga jumpa yang terbaik untuk sarah.

The current daycare sekarang ni dah ramai jugak budak2, and it's just daycare, no extra learning or playing activities. Luckynya sbb sarah suka ikut cikgu yagn jaga budak umur 3-4thn, so dia ikut sekali kelas diorang. But if the class do some coloring or drawing, she could just sit and watch on the sidelines, tak boleh nak join in, so, kesianla. That's whay we want to take her to a good playschool where they can offer more activities for her developing self.

Lagi satu perkara yang menguatkan lagi hasrat nak tukar sekolah dia ni sebab aku rasa agak terkilan when i heard some teachers making fun of her refering to some words in english. We try our very best to speak english to her, and she could pick up some english words. Tapi bila sampai kat sekolah and she uses the words, macam diperlekeh pulak. Quite demoralizing to a very young soul i think. Lepas tu,, ada a few occasions that she called out to someone using "Oi!" which i think is very rude. She must've picked it up from school, either from other kids or the teachers themselves. Whatever it is, i think that's a big sign for me to make that change.

Still looking for good schools in Pjaya, senang, dekat dgn office kan. Have made a few appoinments to come by and look at the place and see how sessions are carried out. See how it turns out la nanti. Sigh!~

It's 5 now, better balik. Heh. LAst week pulun sampai kol 6 je, sampai sarah pun dah tunggu depan pintu nursery. Cian dia...

Lama tak update dan banyak ceritaaa...

CONGRATULATIONS

Congrats Nurul on her newborn baby boy. Malam tadi tak perasan dia sms. Satgi kot ingat nak call dia. Alhamdulillah, selamat dah lahirkan baby boy 3.4kgs. Ada dah sepasang. Bestnya ada baby....

BOS BARU

Last week dapat pengarah baru. Alhamdulillah, so far tgk macam ok. dari segi kerja, timbangrasa, insyaAllah. Yang kureng sket tu sbb dia suka borak. Tapi okla, dalam borak dia ada tazkirah. Pastu tak tahan satu lagi.. dia kuat merokok. Kalau gi jumpa dia kat bilik, kuar tu mesti baju kita bau rokok. Huhu. Dia kata nak salai jantung bagi tahan lama. Heheh... banyak la...

One more thing abt the new boss, wife dia turns out to be my mom's kawan bermain kat kg. So, dia pun selalu gak balik kg i tu. Orang kampung gue ghopenye...

Tapi ok la.. Pengarah baru ni macam bapak2.. insyaAllah, bhg ni akan up balik. :)

Lawatan Kerja

Selagi delegates tak berlepas, selagi tu le tak habis keje. Nowadays everyday amek sarah lambat sbb menguruskan hal2 lawatan kerja ni la, since Italy kita dah kol 4, diorg baru kol 9pg. Hadey.. cepat diorg gi, cepat la i buleh kemas bilik i yg dah macam kapal karam nih...

Makan makan

Ahad lepas, some colleagues wanted to come over to our house for raya. So, masak2 la spaghetti sikit. Pastu import mama dari sepang utk masak mee hailam. Tengah hari kawan2 opis datang. Petang pulak, kLong+hubby, makngah n pak ngah n zura+hubby pulak datang. Seronok jugak bila kumpul ramai2 (tapi tak ramai sangat la). Pastu kitorg duduk luar kejap, masa nak hujan, bagi sarah makan. Pastu hujan turun.. pastu sarah nyanyi "Rain, rain go weway. Ba-ba-gain da-de-day" Hehe.. pengaruh Bananas In Pajamas sungguh. So proud of her. :)

Okie dokie. Back to work. Lawat blog kawan2, ramai yg tak sempat update lagi. Masih beraya aganya mereka....

BFF

Gambar ni ibu kawan sarah kat sekolah snap sebelum raya hari tu, so courtesy to Izan for the lovely collage. Ni la besfren sarah kat sekolah. Nama dia Hanan nur Insyirah. Rupa pun dah nak lebih kurang. Masa ni ibu Hanan kata dok pegang tangan takmo lepas. Best friends forever gitu kan...

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI 1429 H, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN.

Hari raya ketiga harini. Patutnya saya cuti. Tapi saya kat opis. Kalau ada kat opis ni utk menyetelkan hal2 yg penting, macam hidup dan mati rakyat ke, hape ke, rasa berbaloi la jugek. ni, aku kat opis utk menyetelkan lawatan kerja YBM ke luar negara. Lawatan kerja. Heh. YBM lawatan, kerjanya aku. Benci betul.

Next week monday cuti. pastu keje. Ada bos baru akan masuk. 2 orangterus. My immediate superior dgn pengarah yang bengong kena transfer. Immediate dapat naik pangkat kat Kem lain. Pengarah kena tukar ke Kem. lain. So, kitorg akan dapat 2 bos baru sebagai hadiah hari raya. Gabra gak. Camne la bos baru itu agaknya. Harap2 sangat bos2 itu ok la. Buat keje ikut buku, but at the same time takdela strict and controlling sangat. Sigh!~

Lepas raya ni, nampak gayanya akan rancak balik la gerak usahawan yang ala2 pasar malam tu. Bengong betul. Kena kerja la weekends nampaknya. Buang masa sungguh. Sigh lagi. Arghh..

Mana la org maintenance ni tak pasang lampu lagi. Bengong betul la. Harini hari kerja la bukan hari cuti. Aku nak fotostet mende ni pun tergendala..just because gelap. Aa..bongok........

Masak Masak

Wah.. harini hari rajin memasak. :D Hari menerai benda yang tak pernah masak seblom ni. Memula plan nak masak nasi tomato, tapi atas saranan hasben, masak nasi ramuan. Resepi dia dah ada dalam buku resepi hubby i. Dolu2 zaman dia tgh belajar dolu, dia mintak mak tuliskan resepi yang simple2 and feveret dia kat dalam satu buku latihan. So, ada ler resepi nasi ramuan tu. Itew le juga yang menjadi santapan buke puasa harini. Hasben kata sodap. Hehehe.. suke i.


Ni nasi ramuan. Ala-ala nasi minyak tapi lain.. Senang je masak dia. Memula tumis2 bahan standard menumis, macam bawang, kayu manis, buah pelaga. Pastu campak masuk dalam rice cooker. :)


Pastu, terai masak dalca pulak. Perrrhhh.. aku snirik kagum sbb aku berjaya masak dalca. Hahah.. Macam la susah sangat masak dalca kan? Tapi aku kagum gak sbb dalca tu merupakan satu hidangan yang biasanya aku makan kat umah orang kawen je. Yang biasanya masak dalam kawah, cooknye ramai2... so aku kagum la dapat masak dalca. Hehehe.. tapape.


Ni dalca not-so-vegetarian.. Orang pakai kacang panjang, aku belasah kacang buncis.. Hehe. tak kesahla kan. aku yang nak makan, bukan orang lain.. hehe..


Untuk desert, akhirnya, setelah beberapa hari plan, aku buat gak kek batik... Alhamdulillah, kira okey la. tapi terlebih mampatkan dalam bekas, so biskut marie tu rapat2 sangat. Aku suka kalau dia jarak2 sket, banyak sket terasa coklatnye. Uhuhuk..


Ni ler kek batik yang comot... Comot pun comotlah.. janji rasa okey. Kek batik ni variasi yang guna telur, tapi tak pakai susu pekat atau susu cair. Instead aku masukkan UHT milk.

Takpe.. yang penting harini gua puas hati masak. :D Terima kasih myresepi!

Apa Nak Masak Harini??

Sigh!~ aku ingat lagi. Dulu, mama pun suka tanya aku soalan ni. And aku akan jawab.. ma masak je la apa2 pun... Skang aku pulak yg kena berhadapan dgn soklan ni. Hmm.. leceh gak nak fikir apa nak masak ek. Baru aku tau. Hehehee.. Aku rasa, aku akan lebih "teratur" kalau aku buat plan seminggu nak masak apa, macam aku buat masa first week puasa haritu. Beli barang pun cantik2 je utk dimasak. Lepas first week tu plak, dok pulun habiskan leftovers, pastu dah tak buat2 dah perancangan seminggu memasak.. tu yang cam blur nak masak hape harini..

Aku rasa aku masak sutun la harini. Sotong goreng kunyit. Resepi dia aku dapat dari mesra.net. Hehe.. cam senang je. Bolehla buat menu malam kang. Ikan masak taucu semalam pun ada lagi. Ooo.. baru aku tau kenapa ikanmerah biasanya orang buat sup atau masak gulai dan jarang orang buat goreng. Keras rupanya ikan merah ni kalau digoreng. Iskk.. baru aku tau. Apesal la mama tak bitau aku dulu?? Mungkin sebab aku "rajin" sangat masuk dapur tolong dia masak kot. Hehehe. Padan muka aku.

Satu lagi benda yang aku teringin nak buat yang masih tak buat sampai harini adalah kek batik. Resepi dah ada, bahan2 macam belum cukup.. tapi aku rasa boleh kot nak try resepi yang simple malam ni. Tgkla cane kang. Kalau rajin, sarah tidur nyenyak balik kang, insyaAllah.

Harini dah dapat most of the kuih raya yang aku order (dan tak order). Hmm.. dalam tercari2 orang yang jual kuih raya (kononnya thn ni rasa macam tak ramai orang buat kuih raya kat opis.. selalu ramai je yang menjual).. ada la berjenis2 gak kuih raya yang aku beli. Hihi.. tapi thn ni aku beli utk umah sendiri.. umah mama aku tak belikan pun. Huhu.. nanti pack la sikit2, utk bawak gi sana sbb kat sana bukan ada org nak makan pun, kalau bukan aku gak yang belasah kuih raya. Rumah mak pun tak payah bagi sbb mak lagi terer dapatkan stock kuih raya drpd aku.

Tadi aku dapat kek buah sebijik, ex-bos aku buat. Kuih 6 jenis, antaranya biskut mazola, almond tart, melting almonds, hana cookies (teringat kat aznor hanah..hehe..) dgn kerepek kacang pis. Rasanya, wallahualam. aku pun tatau. Main order je, since borang order sampai masa 1st week ramadhan, takdela sample. Sigh!~

Yang menjadi masalahnya sekarang ni.. Aku masih tak ada bekas utk letak kuih2 raya tersebut... Hmm.. macam mana tu?? Kena la aku gi shopping jumaat nih.. Hehe. Tapi ada meeting la pulak pagi tu. Isk.. orang dah ingat nak beraya je dah, pun nak ada meeting gakk....

Wkey.. cukup time.. mau balik sikalang.. sotong di rumah sedang menanti untuk digoreng kunyitkan. ;) Selamat berbuka.

Hidung Berdarah

Semalam at 10 am, dapat call from the nursery, cikgu kata hidung sarah berdarah. Dalam kepala ni dah ingat darah turun kat hidung non stop la, anak aku dah pucat sbb tak cukup darah la, nak kena blood tranfusion and aku takleh bagi darah aku kat dia sbb kitorg lain blood group la, denggi berdarah la, brain haemorrage la, dan pelbagai lagi perkara2 horror yang terlintas kat kepala aku dalam pada aku drive nak amek dia dari sekolah. Tu la dia.. banyak sangat tgk citer House gamaknya.. Hehe..

Bila sampai sekolah, aku tgk dia tgh duduk dgn cikgu dia, baca buku. Takdela darah meleleh2 dari hidung pun.. ada sikit2 je darah kering kat hidung dia. Tapi since the night before pun dia berdarah hidung gak, and dia jatuh face first masa main2 kat umah mama petang tu, terus la bawak gi jumpa paed. Takut la kot ada apa yang patah ke kan...

Bila jumpa paed, dia check, dia kata nothing serious. Mungkin ada soft tissue dalam hidung yang injured masa dia jatuh and it bled the first time, tapi the second time around probably because she picked her nose and accidentally dislodged any clotted blood, tu yang berdarah balik. Macam kalau kita ada kudis tak kering betul, pastu kita tangan gatal dok garu2 kan berdarah balik kan.. ha.. macam tu la. Alhamdulillah, bukan anything yang aku terfikir tu.. huhu.. tapi lepas tu rasa macam bengong je sbb panik dan fikir menda bukan2. Isk... moral of the story, jangan panik, and think positive.. huhu...

Kejap je dah nak raya. Mood raya?? Hmm.. so-so je la. Takdela rasa excited or beriya sangat pun. Baju raya? ada la baju buat dulu2 tak pernah pakai. Hubby pun pakai balik baju Melayu masa nikah. Next year baru buat baju melayu baru kot, insyaAllah. Sarah pun baju kurung je 2 pasang. Baju2 lain takde, sbb dia dah byk baju.. Ingat nak cari kasut je kat dia.

Oops.. gtg.. nak pi dgr titipan rohani. :) adios.

Ramblings

Nothing much to update today. Just getting bored and more bored day by day. So much for HR's janji manis of that immediate transfer of my boss. Huh. Immediate transfer tahik kuchinggg!! My immediate boss pun dah tak berapa ada mood nak keje sbb dah nak pindah kem. Good for him la. Tinggal le aku sorang2 di sini. Colleague sorang tu nak masuk DPA dah lepas raya. Huhu.. kesiannya saya.

Minggu ni merupakan minggu paling malas masak. Rasanya, since monday haritu mmg tak masak langsung. Masa monday rasa macam nak masak. But hubby cakap takyah masak, habiskan dulu leftovers banyak dalam fridge. Selasa pun habiskan leftovers lagi, tak masak. Last night pergi makan kat chilli's, saja belanja hubby sbb dah dapat surat memangku. :D Hujung bulan ni gaji campur elaun memangku. Alhamdulillah.. tu yang gi belanja hubby tuh. Tak masak gak. Harini pun rasa boring ah nak masak. Nak cari barang nak buat tiramisu ingatnya. So berbuka je la di luar sana... :D

Semalam masa amek sarah kat skolah, she did something that made me feel so proud of her, and dah besar anak aku tu... Dia minum susu, sambil tangan pegang bantal (sekolah punya bantal). upon seeing me, dia bagi aku pegangkan susu tu while she went to keep the pillow at the designated pillow cabinet. Kagum jap. ..Uhuhuhuk... terharu mommy tengok. My baby dah besar!!

The Second Child

Hmm.. macam mana nak garap posting ni ye.. Kang berbelit2 pulok.. Huhu..

Haritu, i was discussing with my hubby about having another baby. I've always wanted another one kan, and i try to coax my hubby whenever i can to accept the same idea. the last discussion made me wonder. How does it feel to have a second baby???

Macam.. right now i feel such an abundance of love towards sarah, rasa sayang sangat2, tak terbayang macam mana nak sayang kalau ada second baby pulak. Hmm.. faham ke apa aku ckp ni?? Aku argue, that love doesn't start whole and you divide it between the people you love like a piece of cake; instead love blossoms, when another baby arrives, a new bud of love blossoms and it grows by time. Macam pokok, sayang tu boleh bercambah macam dahan2 yang ada kat batang pokok tu... Tapi, betul ke macam tu??? Kalau macam tu, kenapa ada parents yang bersikap bias between siblings, and supposedly, the middle child syndrom tak berlaku la kan??

When i got married, i felt the same way towards my hubby. I feel that i love him so very much tht i can't love any other person the same way. But, come sarah, i love sarah as much as i love my hubby but of course, in a different way la kan. Kalau sarah ada adik pulak macam mana??? Will i feel as much love for the new baby as i feel for sarah??

Aku pun tak tau. Takde experience lagi la katakan. If my dear friends yang dah ada lebih dari satu baby, or sedang carry the 2nd baby boleh share how they feel about the second baby, mungkin it can shed some light for me on this matter.

On a totally unrelated note, siapa tengok House last night?? 2nd episode of the season finale. Huhu.. sedey sampai harini.. hehe.. boleh tak? Kesian wilson and amber. I hated amber at first coz she's such a be-atch but when she started dating wilson, she was ok. Sedih tgk the way they ended. Gosh.. what would it feel like to know that you're dying as soon as someone takes you off life support. To leave all your loved ones behind, uncertain of what will become of them, who'll take care of them... Huhu.. i get teary eyed whenever i think of that. Huhu.. wallahu'alam. elok jugak tgk House ni.. mengingatkan pada mati. :)

Meeting

Sigh!~ Pagi2 dah meeting yang kasik aku naik hangin. Huhu.. Mmg aku rasa marah gile kat bos yg jadik pengerusi tu tadi. Masa meeting dia tanya aku aku buat bodo je. Pastu aku tak pandang dia langsung. Sbb aku bengang, dia suh kitorg brief dia abt meeting yg dia panggil. Bengong amende. Dia yg panggil meeting, sepatutnya dia dah taula apa dia nak cakap kan? Pastu panggil kitorg brief dia satu hal la, pastu nak tinggi suara tak tentu pasal.. Hangin la gua. So anyway, lepas meeting tu, dia jumpa personally ngn kitorg, n dia ada la cakap dia mintak maaf so, dengan serta merta marah aku pun hilang. Iskk.. senang sangat aku ni kan?? Memula marah beriya2, pastu terus tak marah dah. Ntahla.. tapi aku nak marah dia lama2 pun nak buat apa.. Kang sakit jantung plak. Immediate boss aku yg kena brief dia pagi tadi pulak dah balik. Dia ckp dia EL sbb darah dia naik. Dia pun hangin gak tu... iskk...


Entertaining

Last week boleh dikatakan as an entertaining week for me, sarah and hubby. And to tell you the truth, I think I really like entertaining, and it helps la bila masak2 n benda yang dimasak tu kira menjadi, and the real pleasure comes when your guests makan bertambah2, which I hope was a sign of enjoyment of the food rather than just tindakan mengambil hati. Hehe.

My first entertaining was when Nura n family came over on Wednesday. Masa tu Dan tak balik lagi. The menu for the day was pari masak asam tumis (first trial, setelah telefon mama i untuk mintak resepi), mixed vege dengan ayam goreng segera. Kuih muih ditunjuk2 aje dari bazaar ramadhan. Huhu.. tak sedap!! :p Masa lepas berbuka tu, aku rasa masak asam tu sangatla kurang garamnye. Tapi nura ngan hubby macam enjoy je makan. Huhu.. Aku harap diorang buleh terima la masakan aku tu. And harap2 diorang tak sakit perut ler bila balik rumah. Huhu.. Kalau terkurang mana2 tu, aku mintak mahap la nura ye...

Then, last Saturday, we entertained Dan’s cousin who came by to introduce his “scandal” to us. Hehe. Tak payah disclose la kan what the scandal is all about. Anyways, the menu for that day was stir fried sawi, sup ayam and dendeng daging. Dendeng daging tu first time try masak and seperti biasa, bila first time try, I calling2 la dolu chef mama i untuk dapatkan resepi dan cara2 membuatnya step by step. Verdict? Well.. hubby enjoyed it, the cousin and scandal pun enjoyed it jugak. The cousin siap bertambah2 pulak tu and dia cakap lama tak makan good home cooked meal. Waa.. gumbira hati den. :) Ye la, sebagai seorang yang tak reti masak, it was a huge thing la for me. As a dessert, i've whipped up trifle the day before sbb masa buat trifle untuk mooncake festival tu cake nya ada lebih lagi and hubby pun tak merasa trifle haritu, so buatla sikit. And everybody enjoyed it, especially my little girl yang beriya2 makan sambil dipangku oleh scandal. Wahh.. sangat friendly anakku itew.


Bila guests balik, hubby gave me a hug and said “I’m so proud of you”.. and to tell you the truth, that’s what makes it all worth it. :D

Buka Puasa Beramai Ramai!!

Yeay!! Harini Nura + hasben + Danish nak datang buka puasa kat umah. Kebetulan since diorang ada kat sini nak uruskan hal2 berkaitan Nura nak sambung belajar. Memula ingat nak jumpa je, tapi since diorang nak balik malam, apa lagi.. jemput ler berbuka kat umah.. Hehe. Pastu aku blank kejap nak masak apa.. sebab den ni bukan pandai masak ponnn.. Huhu.. apola den nak jamu orang datang umah nih...

Tadi tepon mama, tanya apa nak masak... keputusannya, nak masak ikan pari masak asam, sayur campur, pastu goreng ayam crispy segera, untuk anak2 kitorang makan. Kejap lagi i nak singgah kat pasar ramadhan jap (1st time ke pasar ramadhan tahun ni!!!) beli kuih apa2 yang patut. Tadi gi carrefour jap, carik daun kesum.. takde plak.. nasib baik ada kat pasar P8. Itu pun tinggal sepokok je. Hehe.. Beli sekali daun pisang, ingat nak buat lepat labu.. Tapi tak tau la bila.. hehe. Harini tak sompek.. kot Nura datang masa weekend, buleh la diusahakan.

Minggu ni macam tak rajin dan bersemangat sangat nak masak macam last week. Tak tau la apesal.. excited hubby nakbalik kot?? Tapi ni dah Nura nak datang, up la sikit semangat nak masak tu.

Harapnye ok la masak arini. Ni first time nak buat masak asam ikan pari ni. Dulu masa belajar pernah try buat masak asam ayam.. Hancur!! Harap2 kali ni ok la.. huhu...

Bestnya nak buka puasa ramai2!!!

Tensen di Bulan Puasa

Urghh.. akukalau kena buat paper nak pergi lawatan luar negara, mmg aku akan tension. Ditambah pulak kalau bos kata aku ygkena pergi, makin aku tensen. Lepas tu YBM nak pergi pulak. Lagi gila babas aku tensen. Pendek kata mmg hanging satu badan sbb aku rasa menda ni mmg useless dan menghabiskan duit rakyat. Hanya sesuai utk org2 yang hadap sangat nak pergi overseas tapi tak tau malu, guna duit orang instead of duit sendiri. How revolting.

Revolting as it is, dah mende tu namanya keje, kena la buat jugak. Tapi macam frust la sikit sbb i wish i'm doing something better for the nation. Sigh!~

Dalam kena buat paper, sempat gak lawat blog CheDet. Kadang2 baca komen orang kat situ rasa mcm geram sikit. Beriya2 suruh Tun amek tindakan, asking him how to go about things. Tolonglah, dia sepatutnya dah berehat sekarang, bukannya pening2 kepala fikir abt keadaan negara yang tak tentu hala sekarang ni. He has done his part, quitting Umno, openly critisizing what he feels is not right and much more. It's time kita-kita ni la yang take action. Tapi kan.. i wish i know what kind of actions that we golongan marhein ni boleh amek. Sigh!~ Sedih, geram benci, marah, stress kalau baca menda2 politik ni sangat... esp abt si bapak mertua dan menantu itu.

Sigh, sigh dan sigh lagi..

Anyways, on a lighter note, dah masuk 8 hari berpuasa hari ni. Alhamdulillah, setakat ni tak jejak lagi kaki ke Bazar Ramadhan. Kalau thn2 lepas, wajib pergi tiap2 hari, nak cari lauk berbuka. Thn ni, boleh dikatakan tiap2 hari i masak utk berbuka. Heheh. Lauk2 konvensional lak tu, bukanla lauk2 ikut sukahati gua je. Hehe. Conth masakan yang telah berjaya ditry termasuklah kurma ayam, kobis masak lemak, ikan masak taucu, sambal sotong, sambal ikan. Hehehe. Takdela dish yang hebat2 ponn.. dish biasa2 je. Tapi aku sendiri agak kagum la sbb aku ni bukannya reti masak. :p Bila tiap2 hari dapat masak, tak beli langsung dari bazar ramadhan, rasa kagum gak dgn diri sendiri. Hehhe.. Bukan riak ye..

Harini macam nak try kailan goreng ikan masin.. tapi masa nak beli kailan haritu buruk2 semuanya.. Mungkin masak tom yam kot(tak pernah try nih) .. pastu sayur yang my little girl buleh makan... goreng taugeh campur chives, pastu masak sambal goreng tanpa cili.. so tht little girl buleh makan tempe n tauhu tu. Hihi.. Beriya2 nak masak nih...

Night Fever

For some reason, it seems that my little girl usually gets her fever at night. Not sure why, but when she has fever, most of the time she'll get it around 3 - 4 am. I was up last night and the night before tending to her early morning/late night fever. She was ok during the day.

Mama said last time when i was about her age, i used to get frequent fever as well..

Anyways, if you guys ada petua on this night fever thingy, do drop a note, ya? Thanks. :)

Sigh!~ kinda stressed coz vee's not ready and still in the workshop. Amende alternator punya bearing ada problem, kereta byk sgt tak sempat siap today. Tuesday baru siap. Sigh!~

Apapun, do have a nice long holiday, Selamat Hari Merdeka and Salam Ramadhan Al Mubarak.

PTK..

Last mon and tues, i sat for the PTK exams... all i can say is, let bygones be bygones. Bersedia je la kalau kena resit kan. Hehe. Dahla masa first day tu aku tersalah dewan. Dah menjawab 2 soklan dah, invigilator panggil, kata aku salah dewan, so kena la berangkut segala barang2 ke dewan lagi satu. Nasib baik dewan tu satu bangunan lain floor je. Kalau kena kat building lain?? Isk.. aku nih.. memang tau. Member yg tgh buat exam kat dewan lagi satu tu tanya "ko masuk lambat ehh?" aku pun selambe je jawab "aku salah dewan la...". Iskk...

Gambar Garden

Ni haritu azanie mintak aku upload gambar lawn. Ni ler sikit gambar dari lawn aku yang tak seberapa. :)

Gambar dari sebalik water lilies.











Pokok2 di tepi pagar depan umah - ginger, cuphea dan pencil pine.








Ni pulak pokok2 kat tepi pagar tepi rumah - yucca, antorium, ginger dan cuphea










Ni deretan bunga gantung2. Nama apa tah...








This is a nice picture (or so i think) of our water lily.











This is my garden! :)









"Mommy... bird!"











My little darling enjoying the garden.











Me: Sarah, give mommy a smile...

<-- Result.

Tak jadi Cuti...

Huhu.. tak jadi cuti harini. Mula2 plannak cuti belajar today n tmrw.. Bos ckp jgnler cuti harii sbb takde org kat opis. so aku terpaksa la keje sambil2 menjadi bos. Esok aku cuti. Iskk.. takpela.. bos takde harini, aku buley study gak kat opis, sambil2 menyiapkan lagi sikit menet mesyuarat yg belum siap tu.

Last night tgk debate Lim Guan Eng vs. Koh Tsu Koon. Tapi tgk dalam 20 menet terakhir je. Hmmm.. so takleh nak komen byk sangat la. Ok la kot, dua2 pandai berkata2.. orang politik la katakan.

Anyways.. dah melalut cerita politik pulak. Isk.. Baru 51 tahun negara merdeka. Rasa macam dah kelam kabut dah ni. Susah bila politician fikir poket sendiri je, at the expense of the rakyat. Hmm.. Apepun...pengundi di permatang pauh, undi dengan bijak. Kalau rasa mana2 calon tak layak dapat undian anda..jangan undi diorang. Bukannya yang tak suka dipangkah tau. Hehehe...

Kalau fikir sangat ttg keadaan negara skang ni, stress la.. isk.. malas nak fikir.

Diaper

Semalam pergi gocery shopping. Yang termasuk dalam senarai barang yg nak dibeli tu adalah diapers dan susu. Tgk susu, ok, amek, masuk dlm troli. Tengok diaper... isk.. tak percaya.. tgk lagi sekali... Mak aiii... Dah naik harga yang sangat signifikan ok. Dulu RM 33 utk Jumbo L72.. Sekarang ni dah naik RM 43. Bengong ke sekali naik sampai 10 hengget. Ingat duit tumbuh kat pokok???

I wonder who we should owe all these inflation and current economic state to. Sigh!~

Formula strike

Hmm.. it seems like i'm having a blogging "diarrhea" today. Hehe. So many things to post!! (amidst of so many things to be done.). I'll keep this short.. i hope.

Anyway, back on the subject. My DD has been on some kind of a milk strike recently. it started when we introduced her to a toddler formula of the same brand infant formula that she was using. We tried the original flavour, vanilla, but she just refused them both and wanted to stick to her infant formula. Until about two days ago... Last two days, she refused milk entirely, and only wanted to be breastfed.

I was quite concerned coz i think that my milk supply has lessen (or it could be just me), despite the fact that your body produces more milk as your kiddo nurses more. It's probably just in my head, kan? Anyways, i feel kinda guilty coz last night i was forcing her to drink her formula and denied her of nursing, unless she drinks some formula. (Masa tu around 3am. DD still wakes for night nursing). So after some episode of crying and whining and "No, no, no...s" she went back to sleep, without nursing nor drinking her formula. And today, i feel a heavy sense of guilt for what had happened. Sigh!~ Kesian dia. To think that she won't be nursing for long now anyway... I shouldn't have denied her of nursing... :( Mommy's so sorry.

Hmm.. takpela.. learn from mistakes. The beauty about toddlers is that they don't hold grudges against you. (But that doesn't mean you can treat them wrong, ok?) They're always willing to forgive and forget, which enables you of second chances. :)

PTK TK 1

Ughh.. my eyes are hurting. Heh. Just got back from blog-hopping (which inspired me to post something). Bumped into fellow PTD blog.. and she had red fonts on black b/g. So, it kinda hurt my eye a bit. But i kept reading anyway. :)

Anyways, the blog hopping started from me google-ing for contoh soalan ptk tk1 bagi skim ptd. So much for that, i landed into a few fellow ptds blogs. Obviously, i gave into the temptation of reading blogs rather than doing my so-called research. Well.. i'm dne reading blogs for now, and will definitely move on to studying shortly after completing this post.

My exam will be on 2 days next week, monday and tuesday. Mon - paper umum. Macam2 nakkena tau tu.. general order bab a - g, arahan perbendaharaan, pengurusan pejabat... uwaaaa... tak habis baca pun lagi. Baru baca 2 - 3 st slides yang dapat dari kengkawan yang dah amek exam. Tues, kompetensi khusus pulak. Since ptd ni perlu cover 8 core businesses, so lebih kurang kena tahu segala yang ada antara langit dengan bumi. Pengurusan tanah, local govn, kewangan, hrm, leadership... banyak nyaaaaa..

I plan to take 2 days leave utk sesi belajar sampai mabuk. Masa cuti tu, kena htr sarah gi skolah gak, sbb kalau tak, tak belajar le saye nampaknye. So nak fikirkan kat mana lokasi yang sesuai utk tempat pembelajaran kat pjaya ni. For the time being, i'll sign off and get back to some studying before resuming my work that never ends...........

Lega tak Lega?

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya habis gak meeting yg dah dua tiga kali tangguh ni. Hehe. Siap kena sound dgn chairman.. Lain kali buat meeting ni kerap2 sikit. Hahaha.. Iyola.. lepas raya ni kite miting lagi ye.. So, sementara nak menyiapkan minit ni, rasa cam takde mood pulak. Rasa macam nak buat posting, tapi cam takde mende pun nak dipostingkan. Hehe.

Last week, lepas kejadian yg telah aku ceritakan (pasal bos aku yg tahape2).. aku datang gak keje hari Khamis, walaupun masa hari rabu tu berapi2 aku cakap aku nak EL je. Kalau ikutkan aku, mmg nak EL.. tapi sbb hubby kata pegila keje.. lagipun, otak aku kata, gi keje, try balik mintak cuti utk Jumaat ngan Senin, so akupegi la jugak. Pepagi aku ngadap bos suruh dia luluskan cuti aku Jumaat n Isnin. Aku kata kat dia, Isnin tu nnt aku terus pegi PD utk pgm kat sana.. kata di mulut je. Di hati dan otak dah plan menda lain. Aku kata macam mana pun aku kena cuti gak Jumaat n Isnin sbb akak aku nak kawen. Dia boleh plak nak melawak dgn aku, nak dtg umah tgk akak kawen. Lempang kang mangkuk nih.. Iskk.. Anyways, aku dapat la cuti Jumaat dgn Isnin tu. :)

Hari Jumaat, bawak sarah pegi paed utk cucuk pneumococcal, final dose. Orang dah pandai. Letak je atas katil pemeriksaan tu, dia meraung. Lama pulak kitorg bersidai kat dlm blk Dr tu kali ni. Sebabnya, dia sibuk dapatkan info ttg GPS from hubby. Heh. Apo2la..

Hari Sabtu, aku plak gi jumpa dokter... Jumpa my gynae. Tapi masa tu Dr. Nora takde, so jumpa dr lain, pompuan gak la, Dr. Masitah. Aku ckp la abt spotting yg kerap sejak pakai IUCD. Dia ckp biasa, sbb body tgh adjustment period. Maybe dia ada reaction towards copper. Biasanya apa2 effect will clear after 6 mths, so dia kata dtg blk utk checkup yg 6 mths tu la nanti. Kalau still spotting, maknanya body takleh tolerate dgn copper.. so maybe kena tukar pakai mirena la.. Tapi mirena ni jauh lebih mahal.. Tahan 5 thn. So, wait n see la. Dia kata, period kira masa betul2 darah keluar consistent je. Bila habis, pastu mula spotting, tu takde apa, boleh solat n puasa. Ok la dah dapat penerangan camtu. Takde la masalah aku nak puasa nanti asyik was2 je. :) Oh.. masa jumpa dr ni jugakla aku minta MC. Aku ckp kat dia aku stress, aku dah keje 3 minggu straight tanpa weekends dan aku patutnya berada kat kemaman haritu, tapi last minit cancel. So dr kata, ok, yang tu dia boleh tolong.. and bagi aku MC 3 hari, from Monday, sampaila Wednesday. So aku pun tak pergila pgm di PD.. and the fact is, the program still went on smoothly, despite the fact that i didn't attend it. Duh!~

So sekarang ni agak lega sikit. Bos bengong tu pun outstation seminggu, senang hatiku ini. :) Bernafas le sikit. Tapi lega tak lama pun. Nak start prep on misi luar negara pulak.. huhu.

Oh.. btw, Alhamdulillah, K.Long dah selamat bernikah, dgn seorang muallaf. Dia nikah Jumaat lepas, 08.08.08 kat masjid wilayah. Reception hari sabtu malam kat dewan perdana felda. Hmm.. syok la masa reception tu. Ada open floor utk poco-poco!! Wah.. release sikit kerinduan terhadap poco2. Tapi tak best sgt sbb tak ramai member. Lagipun poco2 basic.. bosah la sikit. Nak buat poco2 advance, dah lupa.. Hampeh la... Iskk...

Can't Stand The Idiotic Wimp

My boss is such an idiotic wimp. Everytime i have to see him in the morning i'll end up irritated. So much taht i wish i could puke on his bald head.

Usually, when i get called up to see him, i could almost feel my blood boil, more so lately. I've just had enough of him. Seriously. Today he asked why i wanted to take leave for next week since there will be this mediation thingy in PD. I told him, our unit is not involved and myname wasn't included in the damn thing. I need a break since i've been working 3 weeks straight without my weekends. I need to spend time with my family too.

The bastard had the cheek to say this "You ada anak je.. i ada cucu".. I was annoyed but all i could utter was " Ala.. bukan cucu you spend time with you sangat". which i think was bad enough but not just hit it through. I should have said "How could you compare yourself to me when you couldn't breastfeed your kids, let alone your cucu yourself? I'm still breastfeeding my daughter." Should have. Too bad my head wasn't going fast enough. That bloody bastard.

Feelings that shouldn't be..

Sigh!~ Can't make up my mind if this is a good or terrible feeling, whatever it is that i'm feeling right now. Bottom line is, this feeling shouldn't be present. Not now, not last time, not EVER. Well.. probably la. who know's what the future beholds but, the fact is, it shouldn't be present now. God help me.

However, this unwelcomed feeling make me feel good about me. I know it wasn't supposed to be there in the first place, but it just makes me feel really good, presently that is.

Sigh!~ I took into tracing back my steps, back into the time when i was still studying, with help from my blog, of course. Just cracks me to bits. :D Silly things you do and think of when you're younger and less mature. Awkwardly, silly things can still do pretty much the same to me now. :p Maybe i haven't grown up as much as i thought i had. Hmm.. maybe..

I need a break. I've been working too much. :(

Lupa, Melupai, Dilupakan...

Pinjam tajuk cikD... Aku masuk ofis lmbt hari ni. Saja. Hari ke 15 kerja non stop, no weekends. Weekend ni pun kalau tak kena pergi gerak usahawan melaka. Pergi mampus la. Aku takkan pergi. K. Long kawen weekend ni. Won't miss it for the world. Dah berthn2 kitorg tunggu utk K.Long kawen nih.

Anyways.. back to the topic. Bila aku baca blog cikD, baru aku sedar yg lupa ni anugerah. Yela kan, cuba kalau Tuhan tu tak bagi kita lupakan mende2 yg menyakitkan kita.. sakitkan hati, sakitkan fizikal.. musti ramai yg sakit otak.. and mesti ramai jugak yang serik nak beranak. Tapi Allah tu Maha Kaya, dia bagi kita lupakan kesakitan masa lalu, so that we can get on enjoying the sweeter things in life.

Pun begitu, kadang2 ada sweet memories yang kadang2 rasa mcm berbelah bahagi, nak lupakan ke nak ingat. Hehe. Nak lupakan, sayang, nak ingat, sakit. Sigh!~ Entahlah.. only time will tell kan. As at where you are now, you'll just have to endure la whatever life is giving you. Sapa suruh buat rumah tepi pantai kalau dah tau takut dilambung ombak. Hehe.. monolog aku dengan diriku. Sigh!~ Takpela... apa yg aku tgh hadapi ni, momentary, disebabkan keadaan. Dulu pun pernah gak jadi sekali, tapi alhamdulillah, semua ok.. ada la yg sikit tak ok, tapi mostly ok.. This time, aku kena lebih hati2 so tht SEMUA ok... aku taknak langsung ada sikit yg tak ok...ok?

Takpe.. biar aku je yang paham...

Last weekend

Weekend kedua berkerja, sampai maid aku pun tanya "Kenapa puan asyikkerja je, takde cuti?" Hehe. Tak dapek Den nak menjawab eh.

Apapun, last weekend was Franchise International Malaysia 2008, dirasmikan oleh YAB TPM. His promptness is admirable. Kita hantar jemputan perasmian at 3.30, cukup 3.30 dia masuk dlm dewan perasmian, bukan baru nak bertolak dari rumah, unlike you-know-who... Rasanya, everything ok la kot. Yesterday, on the final day, ada special keynote address by the former PM. I managed to get a few pics with him and wife. We also celbrated his advanced wedding anniversary. Sangat suka dapat spend some time with the two Tuns. Nearly everyone who came on sunday said that they were there because of Tun. If it was you-know-who, jangan harap la depa nak datang. Hahahahaa.... How true.

Apapun, lega FIM dah habis. Sekarang, boleh saya mula mengemas meja, sebelum ribut kelam kabut seterusnya datang menjelma.....

Yucca Flower



We've planted 4 yucca plants in our garden. One of the yucca plants grew a flower bud after 2 days of planting on our compound. Today the flower bloomed. The contractor and all his indon workers said that yucca flower is not a common sight. Everybody were looking at it with awe. The contractor siap mintak nombor kat hubby coz dia kata "musti ong punya". Hehe.. Wallahualam. Sukati korang la. Aku pun in the beginning tak tau pulak yg pokok yucca ni buleh berbunga. Seronok gak. :) Yang kurang seronok, sekarang ni agak panas banget. Ada rumput yg dah kuning2, walaupun dah siram 3 kali sehari. Sedey...

Working on Weekends

I've been working on the weekend, thanks to my stupid boss and my lousy selfish minister. It had just been a weekend for me, but some of my colleagues had been at it for at least 2 weeks. Some had been at it every weekend since june. Why??? For the sake of the minister's political mileage. Duh??.. Yeah well... tell me about it. :p

I know that there are more people out there who has to work on weekends. If that's what you choose to do, heck by all means, do it. As for myself, it is not something tat i want to do or within my actual job scope. Plus, i have a spouse who doesn't work in the normal office hours and stays in the country all the time. I haven't seen him for two weeks before he came back on wednesday, and til now, i still haven't even spend quality time with him. For those who wants to say.. "Eleh.. other people are at it too." Well, as i said earlier, if it's what they choose, so be it. I didn't choose to be working on weekends which have implications on the lives of my loved ones, so i don't care if anyone else are doing it and not complaining. :p ***WArghghr***

Oh.. btw, my immediate boss had asked me to write a memo on his behalf asking for transfer of division. I think i'll make one for me as well.

On a lighter note, our little garden is almost ready! :) By raya, all the plants would have settled in their new home and insyaAllah, the garden will look even better. The garden is my little project.. and by that i didn't mean that i'm the one doing all the digging and planting.. it means that i'm the one paying for it. :D Yep, i'd have to say i've never charged so much on my credit card before... but, given that everything is done for me and all i have to do is watch them do it and enjoy our little garden when it's all done, it's well worth it. :)

Quick Update

Hehehe..ini perkara yang musti update serta merta.

Tadi ada one of our vendors datang.. Akak la dia ni. Dia tegur i.. masa tu kat dlm bilik bos. Dia kata kannnn.... "You nampak kurus la sekarang." Bos i yg lelaki itu pun kata. " A'ah la.. i pun nampak ko ni dah kurus la sekarang."

Waahhh...sangat suke!! Chaiyuk!

Monday, and the stresses of work begins...

If i was a day of the week, i wouldn't want to be Monday. Kesian Monday. i think most people just hates monday. Me included. Well.. If i didn't have to go to work on Monday, then probably i won't hate Monday.. so the underlying problem, is not with any particular day, it's actually the workplace.

God i hate working here, like seriously. It's sad to see a place where an abundance of good things can be done towards the deserving community, but nothing really beneficial had been carried out simply because of management... the LACK of it.

My head division is barely in the office, making any decision making process sluggish. When he eventually comes into the office, he's so consumed in his own world and disregard whatever feedback that we give him as he wants things to be done his way, despite the fact that his understanding regarding the matter is zilch. When we (the employees) try to argue professionally on something, he will start to raise his voice. So it's just pointless to have an argument with him because it will just make you lose your hair arguing for something that he's put a block on wayy before you even try. The thing is, he would then want you to do other things, which is not really what you're supposed to be doing but he'd ask you to do it anyway because he thinks that will win hearts of the top management. Sigh!~ I really think that your efforts are a little bit too late boss, as all the top management knows what you're capable of (nothing serious and tangible).

My immediate superior is smart, but sometimes he's a little too smart, also in his quest to get points with the top management and the ones that has to go through all the dirty work is, well, you've guessed it, us. He too has had it with our head division. I don't really mind working with my immediate superior but it gets to me when he do things like assigning out-of-office-tasks on the eleventh hour. I hate it when he does that. Well maybe it's too much to ask, but heck, i also happen to have a commitment towards my family, especially my precious 17 months old little girl. When i get out-of-office assignments, i'd have to plan on my littlegirl, who can pick her up if i run late and things like that. I also hate it when he organizes and invites the political lead to go on trade missions abroad and asks me to do the ground work. I don't mind that much in doing the ground work (although after organizing a few missions you really get tired of it because of all the nitty gritty details that you have to go through, the same processes again and again, starting from step uno), but having to actually go with the mission abroad, which takes at least 6 days, now that really kills me. Why? Well.. unlike some people who doesn't mind leaving their kids behind for the skae of their job, i have my priorities set at home rather than at my office.

And... The thing i hate most about woking here is... Drum rolll.....
the political leader. why? Because he's only doing things for the sake of his POLITICAL MILEAGE instead of actually doing his responsibility towards the good of the nation. A carnival-like program to showcase entrepreneurs' products turned into a big pasar malam just because he wants it done in like 4 places within a month. So, the organizer, instead of getting quality entrepreneurs that can actually showcase their product, just pick up any willing dick, tom and harry to join in the craze. Derailment of the actual objectives? Definitely! But who cares, as long as he gets the self promotion he wants and needs for his political mileage. And that really ticks me off, and i get sick to my guts just thinking about his fugly face.

Bla..bla..bla..

Wahh.. lama jugek tak post. Tapi, hari isnin ni macam best je nak buat posting.. sbb monday blues. Hehe. alasan. Isk.. takde mood betul aa datang keje. Rasa dulu masa skolah, alhamdulillah, tak pernah seingat aku ada masalah takde mood nk gi skolah. Suka sungguh gi skolah. Ni masa kej.. humang aiii... berchenta nak dtg opis. Huhuhu...

Dengar on radio harini, traffic update, kat KL jam teruk. Standstill terus at a few locations. Nasib baik la den tak keje kat KL.. Kalu tak.. naye je.. baik EL je harini. Sebabnya, ada tempat jalan tutup, + polis buat roadblock.Road block tu dr smlm lagi. I was travelling to Klang yesterday, kena bagi lecture.. Bengong je. aku ni mana la reti nak bagi lecture. The whole way tu, pergi balik ada la 2 - 3 kali stop utk police road block. Masa hari sabtu pun mcm tu gak...

Oh..lupa nak citer. Hari sabtu, ikut rombongan peminangan adik i.. Iskk.. dah menjadi tunangan orang adikku itew. Macam tak percaye je. Jauhnye kitorg travel... mak aii.. Dari sepang ke felda palong. Perhhh... teringat pulak zaman2 kat besout. Wakaka... dgn adik yg minat gile kat aku masa tu. Iwan kalau tak silap nama dia. Iwan ni budak down syndrom. Baik budaknye. Minat kat aku siap suh amonq lukis gambar dia dgn aku. Wakakaa... lawak lak.Hahaha.. apa2 aje la. Anyways, hantaran aku buatkan kat fadlee, 5 dulang semuanya, termasuk dgn sirih junjung yg aku mmg no idea langsung nak buat camne. Mama kata "ko belasah je la long...".. So belasah je la i did. Kira ok la kot pada pandangan mata aku. Hahaha.. Nasib baik gak dulu masa skolah menegah tiap2 minggu wajib buat flower arrangement. Kira ada gak la pengalaman sikit2. Hahaha...

Sku tanya adik, bila dia nak langsung. Dia kata tak tau la. Isk.. budak ni. Aku sekeh jugak karang. Dia kata mungkin 2010 (though yg belah pompuan dok push next year). Tapi, aku kata kat palee, elok 2010 lagi, at least masa tu dia dah 27 thn, dah makin matang, insyaAllah, duit pun makin banyak la harapnya. Dan mungkin jugak masa tu aku tgh preknen anak kedua dan ketiga.. Hehe.. kembar... sepasang, sorang laki, sorang pompuan, macam Angelina Jolie... Hehehe... mari berangan.... :p (Kalau laki aku dgr angan2 aku ni musti dia pensan).

Haha.. oklah.. cukupla tu mengomel pagi2. Nak siapkan KP nih sikit. Dah janji nak siapkan cepat. Enjoy your day. Adios.

Saja-saja

Berkesempatan lawat blog kengkawan jap. Skang t/hari i dah tak pergi tgk sarah kat nursery sbb nowadays, 1 pm tu nap time. Kalau pergipun, tak dpt nyusukan dia sbb dia tido from 11 sampai kol 2 lebih baru bangun. Tapi lately ni dia macam merengek je. Apesal tah. Duduk kat car seat merengek, hantar sekolah merengek, kat umah merengek.. Kenape la agaknya. Isk.. sian dia. mummy tak paham. Nak kata sbb dia nk dpt adik.. hmm.. sangat tak mungkin. Nak tumbuh gigi lagi kot? Ke sbb nak bercakap? Tak tau ler. Wait n see. As long as dia sihat wal 'afiat, ok la, insyaAllah.

Last tues mak n bapak dtg umah. Diorg baru blk from Doha t/hari tu, ptg terus dtg umah. Sbbnya rindu sangat kat si kecik tu. Datang bawak satu beg baju ngan satu beg plastik besar. Dalam beg plastik besar tu penuh barang2 untuk sarah aunty faris dia kirim from Doha. Baju, kasut.. isk.. memang patut aku takyah beli baju dah kat dia.. Hehe. Mak pun bawak blk buah tgn kat kitorg. Dia kata barang kat Doha murah. Abg n bapak if possible nak mintak Dan try get a job at Qatar Airlines, memandangkan TR sekarang ni mcm dah tak lama je nampaknye. But Dan said, moving to Qatar is a last case scenario, sbb walaupun di offer USD9000, cost of living kat sana pun bukan rendah. Very high. Accomodation je dah makan nak dekat 1/3 - 1/2 gaji. Tu tak kira healthcare, sekolah, kereta... Kira punya kira, lebih sikit je dari gaji kat sini. Whatever his decision, i'll fully support. Berapa ramai dah M'sian dok kat sana, keje 4-5 thn, balik la.. Bukannya lama pun. Hehe.. cakap mcm best je.

Malam ni Dan's going to HKG. Esok pagi blk. Next week dia kena detachment kat Beijing. August pulak, last detachment in Manila. Rasa cam nak ikut jek gi Manila. ada sorangbos tu dia penah duduk sana for 6 yrs. Dia dok provoke shopping kat mana best bla..bla.. Hehe.. shopping aje ingatnya. Tapi, Dan kat sana schedule very tight. Sian kat dia pulak. Tgkla camne.. kalau ada rezeki buleh aa..

Ah.. dah la.. tetiba rasa macam nak sangat mengepost hari ni. Nak sambung kije pulak. Nak prepare utk meeting esok. Ada kunjungan balas dr Jakarta. siap bawak Tim. Menteri diorang tu... Isk.. Rasa macam relax sangat je pulak. Betui ke aku ni.. Isk...
