Pindah Rumah (Cerita Tahun Lepas)

Laaaaa….dah masuk February 2011 rupanya!

Memula dalam entry ni aku ingat nak cerita serba sedikit pasal things that happened in year 2010. Simply because I think it is important for me to have some records somewhere. But there are some problems.

1) I can’t remember ALL the things that happened.
2) When I start to type a story, ia jadi terlalu panjang. Dasar longwinded. Pastu tu rasa cam tak lengkap kalau tak taruk gambar sekali. Tapi kalau taruk, lagi lah panjangggggg !
3) Terus aku jadi cam tak larat nak type any entry pun.

Sooooo….. I have decided just to select few things that happened in my life in year 2010 and write about it se-longwinded yang aku mahu, dalam entry yang berasingan. Meaning, instead of one entry I will have to have few. Let just hope the momentum tak lari after an entry.

(Sekarang, cuba kira, berapaa banyak perkataan ENTRY yang dah aku type?)

Kita mulakan dengan cerita PINDAH RUMAH

Rumah yang sepatutnya siap November 2009, cuma di beri kunci middle February 2010. Itu pun bila ramai buyer dah kecoh-kecoh kacau developer. Aku pun ikut join online community forum untuk carik geng kasik pressure kat developer. Bila dah dapat kunci, aku hantar surat demand for late delivery penalty. Walau they all cuba mengelak bayar dengan alasan-alasan yang tak berapa nak masuk akal sampai berbulan, aku tak kira. Demand jugak. Akhirnya setelah 6 bulan dapat gak around RM2000. Boleh lah kan daripada tak dapat apa-apa.

Berbalik pada cerita pindah rumah, lepas dapat kunci terus saja we looked for contractor to do some basic works for the house. Sambil-sambil developer rectify defects, we did the ceiling, grille, demolished the original counter top in kitchen, re-positioned pipes in the kitchen, install kitchen cabinet and curtain. No major renovation. Duit tak cukup. Ada aku cerita kat sini.

Acara membasuh rumah

Acara menanam rumput

Aku ambik kesempatan tu mengemas apa yang patut dan membuang apa yang tak perlu kat rumah sewa. Tak sangka begitu banyak sampah yang aku simpan selama ni. Itu pun belum lagi dengan incidents ter-discover barang-barang yang aku sendiri pun tak ingat aku ada. Pasti tukang angkat sampah tu menyumpah-nyumpah tengok plastik sampah yang penuh se-lori tu.

Che Man’s and my family members came to help us. Nasib baik lah they all ni ada. Kalau tak, payah le kami hari tu. On the same day, MIL & SIL cooked and brought lunch after upacara doa selamat. Alhamdullillah. Tak payah aku masak.

Acara angkat barang masuk lori pun bermula....

Kena tunjuk lah barang yang bersepah-sepah. Baru real macam pindah rumah.

My sister made this. So yummy!

The next day, Che Man and I went back to the rented house to clean the house. Walaupun our landlord said tak perlulah basuh rumah, potong rumput bagai, tapi kami rasa tak syok tinggal kan begitu je. Dulu pun rumah kami juga. Ada sedikit sentimental di situ.

Membasuh rumah sewa dengan emosi & gaya sentimental

I enjoyed the unpacking and re arranging things at the new place for few days. Kebetulan sedang menghabiskan balance of last year annual leaves.

I thought things finally settled. But, one night after work, I realized the store room wall and floor were wet. There were rusty water marks on the wall. So we called the maintenance guy to check and they informed us about cracked roof and replaced them. After few days, we came back home and found the same thing happened again. Another maintenance guy came, checked and applied some kind of glue thingy on the roof. After few more days, the room flooded and this time was very bad and we kept calling the supervisor to follow-up on the matter. Finally after few complaints in the online community forum, few checks and repair jobs, the matter finally solved. Boleh solved pulak yek?

Water mark on the wall, from ceiling in our store room

Don’t have to worry about the house anymore, we thought. WRONG!

Aiman started behaving weirdly in the house. He said something about ‘takut’, ‘ hantu’, ‘ apa tu ibu?’, TV that switch on by itself, etc. It was really an experience for us. I wrote about it here and here.

Ini ceiling dalam master bedroom. Aiman claimed there was 'something' there.

"Aiman tatut......"
Aiman yang kejap-kejap tutup mata dengan tangan

Apapun kami happy that we finally moved into OUR place. Though it just a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-storey terrace house, it symbolizes another level of commitments from Che Man and myself in our relationship as husband, wife and parents. Though we did nothing major with the house, with no new furniture, but at least it is complete with basic necessities for a small family house in a friendly neighborhood.

The house

The small laman. I have no flower plants. Just grass & green plants.

Living and dining area (before we put up some paintings onto the wall)

Same old furniture.

View from dining area, towards kitchen

Doors leading to 2nd, 3rd bedrooms and to dry area.

Kitchen

Aiman's bedroom is yet to be completed. Will be 2011 project.

Semoga kebahagian kami berpanjangan.

Insyaallah.

Eid 2009

Raya dah nak abih rupanya. Barulah aku terhegeh-hegeh nak buat raya entry.
.

Aidilfitri tahun ni, first day kat Shah Alam - rumah MIL. Lepas zuhur, ke Melaka - Kampung MIL. Beraya kat rumah sedara mara belah MIL kat Melaka, lepak satu malam, balik Nilai. Yang lain-lain berangkat ke destinasi masing-masing lepas beraya kat kampung aku, Che Man and I tinggal di Nilai sampai hujung minggu tu. Pastu kerja hari Sabtu, balik Nilai, kerja balik hari Isnin.

.
Cerita raya pun dah tak berapa nak ingat, jadi aku upload gambar saja untuk kenang-kenangan di hari tua.

.
Aci?

.

Seminggu lagi nak Raya aku kelam-kabut carik sampul

duit raya. Tanya sana sini asyik takda. Kumpul sikit-sikit,

terlebih-lebih pulak! Talking about me being kiasu!

Drama lebih aku ni.

I hate packing bags.

Tapi raya punya pasal, nak tak nak, kena juga kan.

1 bag for me, 1 bag for Che Man, 1 bakul for Aiman.

Pampers satu pack, bakul susu, handbag.

Beg biru untuk segala toiletries, songkok, chargers, etc.

Pagi raya pertama at MIL's in Shah Alam.

Habis semua color baju raya tengelam jadi kuning

dek lampu rumah MIL. Ingat nak snap sekali lagi

kat luar rumah, tapi terlupa lak.

.

Geram betul dengan Aiman masa ni.

Susah benar dia nak disuruh bergambar.

Taknak pandang camera, taknak duduk bawah, taknak pakai kopiah.

Cengginilah jadinya gambar raya kami.

Herot je....

Raya ke-2 kat Melaka.

Motif ambik gambar kat sungai?

>

"Ibu.... Aiman found a ball"

.

"Throw the ball....."
(Nasib baik kelapa tu tak jatuh atas kepala)

.

Ni satu lagi gambar yang motifnya tak dapat dipastikan.
Che Man suh kita orang posing kat tingkap,

kita ikut je.

.

Dengan ipar, biras, nieces & nephews

Motif kau berpelukan kat belakang tu?

Masa ni Aiman takde. Dia tengah sibuk sepak kelapa -

sambil terjerit-jerit :

"Kick the ball, kick the ball"

.

Kat rumah nenek belah abah raya ke berapa tah.

Nenek je ada. Pak Long & Mak Long takde kat rumah.

Sendiri buat teh tarik, sendiri ambik makanan -

buat cam umah sendiri.

.

Kat Nilai during our last day of Hari Raya leave.

Rasanya, takde gambar kami berbaju raya dalam

rumah pun this year. Semua pakat pakai tracksuit & kain batik.

Aku tak buat open house tahun ni. Tapi... sesapa nak ziarah, datang je lah. Bagitau dulu, nanti aku goreng kan mee (sajer).

Itu adalah jawapan standard untuk soalan berbunyi:

"Kau tak buat open house ke tahun ni Nomi?"

"Jap aa... saya cuma nak cakap :

Ibu saya malas nak ber-open house.

~~Takut nanti saya terlebih duit raya"~~

-Sekian-

Award for Blog

Received this award from my dear friend; Amy in June. Seperti biasa setelah kepam, baru sekarang dapat di-publishkan di sini.
.

This is what Amy wrote about me:
Nomee : PPP friend. Bleh tahan kelakar entry-entry dia.

(Sedikit pelik aku rasa di sini. Tak pernah rasanya membuat kelakar dalam blog. Membuat lawak ~~bodoh~~ di depan boss, memang biasa. Tapi takpe. Aku anggap yang Amy ni sebenarnya mempunya good sense of humor. Jadi mudah dia nampak kekelakaran aku yang tersirat ni ---> ayat taknak kalah).

.
These are the rules set that I copy paste from Amy’s blog.

# Write five (5) interesting facts about the person who gave you this award.

# Jot down ten (10) interesting facts about yourself or your hobbies.

# Pick your ten (10) most deserving recipients and describe them.

# Leave a comment on the recipients' blog to tell them they've been tagged

# Paste the award badge in your sidebar

5 interesting facts about Amy:

1) Muka dia tampak garang. Pandangannya tajam.

2) Suara dia lembut and low volume. Sangat tak sesuai dengan fact no. 1

3) During my years in PPP aku sedikit was-was nak geng dengan dia. Ye la…budak bijak, anak orang kaya pulak (my own assumption at that time, sebab dia geng bebudak pandai & bawak keta gi class) But, she actually tak pilih bulu bila berkawan.

4) The time I remember most, long time ago, when I felt so down after broke up with this one ass-hole. We talked about it a little during computer class or something. I thought that was it, but later I received long e-mail from her encouraged me to be strong. We exchanged few e-mails and I felt better after reading each e-mail from her. Her concerns were genuine.

5) Dia nangis masa dapat tau tak fly dulu….. hahahahaha (who didn’t ?)

Waaaaaa... apa pulak tak kasi fly?!
Orang dah kaler rambut blonde dahhh! Waaaaa....!

10 interesting facts about myself or hobbies:

One problem here - there is nothing interesting about me. However, after I did some thinking; I came up with these not-so-interesting facts:

1) I can’t sing in front of other people. Suara aku sangat sedap sebenarnya, tapi memang takleh nyanyi depan orang lain except in front of Che Man and Aiman. So bila ada proposal pasal gi karaoke, aku lah yang paling awal surrender. No way baby! On my wedding day, my uncle called me & Che Man untuk berduet. Sudahnya Che Man nyanyi sorang-sorang. Aku pegang mic sambil garu-garu kepala je. Sampai ke sudah. Bengang uncle aku. Hehehehe..

.
2) Aku tak suka minum plain water. Plain water buat tekak aku loya. But lately, I force myself to drink plain water. Coffee memang tak pernah tolak.

3) I did my major in Marketing. But I hate to do marketing-related stuffs especially meeting people. Aku sebenarnay pemalu. So tak sesuai lah.

Eh korang...! Are you all in Marketing now?

4) I used to love exercising, hiking and camping. I miss camping, but so lazy to exercise what more hiking. Tak hairan lah ukuran lilit makin bertambah.

Puncak Tahan, 1997 (kalau tak salah laaa)

5) I am very sensitive person. But I don’t cry easily in front of people. Tapi, cuba baca buku, e-mail, blog entry or just thinking about something sad (eventhough cuma imiginasi) – alone, I’ll cry buckets.

..
6) I’m afraid of open water. When I was very young, my scariest dreams were dreams that involved open water like sungai, banjir, laut, tasik, etc. Bangun tido siap nangis lagi ;))).

.
7) I can’t swim. I think it has something to do with fact no. 6. A friend *lambai kat Hire!* once tried to teach me when we went camping in empangan Semenyih. Failed. Sorry dude!
(Unrelated fact: Sekarang empangan semenyih dah berpagar. Takleh masuk dah).
..
8) I never perm or color my hair. Dari dulu sampai sekarang, Cuma panjang pendek saja bezanya. People say I have boring hair style. Lantak ah.

.
9) I am very forgetful or rather have short memory. This irritates the hell out of me. It makes me like a dungu sometimes.
..
10) I used to have this out-of-body experience (OOBE) .It started with my wish of wanting to have special power. It was very weird. It started when I was in Form 5 and lasted till I was in first year in PPP. Memula beberapa bulan sekali, makin lama makin kronik sampaikan beberapa kali sehari. I thought I was crazy. My friend thought I was scary (I told one of my friends that I saw him minum arak during me terbang-terbang at nite. I described the place. He felt off the chair and run out of the class. He believes in all my stories ever since). When I was in PPP I started to search for the answer. I even had a session with a psychology professor (Dr. Menon ke nama dia? Tak ingat). The more I know, the less frequent it happened. It has stopped now. I don’t want it to happen again. This always reminds me to be careful of what I wish for. I don’t wish to have special power anymore. I want to be normal. Maybe I blog about it one day huh?
(Read this one also eh...)

10 most deserving recipients and describe them:

10 orang? Uuuiii ramainya. Yang baca blog ni pun tak sampai 10 orang agaknya. Tapi yang namanya tertera, aku describe sikit-sikit je yek. Silalah jgn malu-malu buat tag ni – kalau belum buat lagi la. :

1) Maya – A tough lady. Tahu la serba sedikit sejarahnya. Alhamdullillah, nampaknya dia sangat berbahagia sekarang.

.
2) Wani – One of my closest friends. I’ve described her in one of my earliest entries. ..

3) Momamia – Suka betul baca blog dia ni. Sangat selamba entry nya. Rasa-rasanya dia ni mesti kelakar orangnya.
.

4) NiN – Dah lama tak update blog dia ni. Tag ini boleh la jadi alasan untuk dia update blog.

5) Azrul – Kami sama-sama di PPP. Tapi masa tu tak kenal sangat. Dah berblogging i baru ada tegur menegur dalam comment box. He is very sincere in his entries.

6) Nadiah – She is my 13-year old niece. Berfikiran matang. I am proud of you dear.

..
7) Kay – I like the way she writes. She has this skill of summarizing many stories in one entry and still very interesting to read. Skill yang tu aku tarak.

8) Aishah – We communicate more now through blogging. Kat PPP dulu tak banyak pulak communication. Very lady-like and down-to-earth lady.

9) Konot – Konot sempoi. Kenal kat PPP jugak. Macam Aishah, baru sekaraang Konot & I ‘talk’ more. Seronok baca blog dia yang sangat ‘hidup’.

10) Diana – I do not know her personally. Tapi aku nasihatkan korang baca blog dia. Pi la baca. Tunggu apa lagi?

Thank you for the award, Amy. Love you… muah!
