Mood

Takut nak update blog.

Takut lain yang nak dicerita,
Takut lain pulak yang tertera.

Lagi pun, apa yang patut dicerita,
Ber-arus sonsang dengan mood pencerita.

Al maklumlah, yang nak dicerita, cerita basi,
Tapi mood yang ada, tak kasi.

Tu lah...
Lain kali tak boleh delay delay posting kat blog ni,
Sekarang mood semua dah lari.

Korang datanglah lain kali,
Terima kasih daun keladi.

What is Happening?

I don't know lah........

My February... kind of...

Sebelum 2 followers aku blah, elok rasanya update blog ni.

Banyak yang nak rekodkan but so little time and energy. So, for my own record, I wanna summarize this entry into few topics.

Birthday & Wedding Anniversary
My birthday & Che Man’s birthday jatuh selang sehari on the first weekend of February. It went quietly except for many birthday wishes I received through FB. Thank you so much people. Tak dapat pun nak reply and say thank you satu-satu. But you know I love you all very the strong kan?

The whole Saturday on my birthday, Che Man had to work from morning to late night. Takde mood nak potong kek pun. Sampai sekarang tak redeem lagi voucher kek yang hotel bagi tu. So, I thought, cake-less ler we all. But, the next day balik kampung and my dear sister made us a very rich very yummy chocolate cake for tea time.

Both Che Man and I took day off to spend our day at spa and dating on our 4th anniversary in the 2nd week of February. Che Man who was skeptical on the spa thingy at last sangat menyesal kerana tak ikut my suggestion to have the 4-steps full body treatment instead of 1 hour couple massage. Tu laaaa… lenkali dengar gak cakap bini. Hal-hal macam ni lelaki mana tau, kan? We also went to movie, makan and shopped.

Aiman
I extended my leave after the anniversary celebration and took opportunity of Chinese New Year public holidays to stay home with Aiman. My aim was to train Aiman untuk pergi toilet everytime nak kencing and berak. Except for 2 incidents – one on the floor and another one on sofa, the few days training went well. Never in my life I felt so happy to see him terberak. Hahaha. Tapi amat-amat letih coz kejap-kejap nak kencing budak bertuah tu. I think Aiman felt the same coz my MIL told me that Aiman mengamuk-ngamuk nak pakai diaper later that week. Aduhai…. Dah beberapa hari ok, dia buat hal pulak tak nak continue. Came another weekend, I tried again but he refused to wear his pants without diaper. Seperti biasa, Aiman menang. Mendidih je darah aku tengok dia screaming, kicking, shouting. So pakaikan dia diaper and went to the zoo.

Ala.... takyah la gi toilet.... sini je lah....

New House
We finally received the house keys on 22nd. So we have about a month to arrange everything including to move into the new house. Must empty the rented house by last weekend of March.

After the handover from developer, straight away we confirmed some works with a contractor. Then we went and searched for kitchen cabinet and lights and fans. Well, actually not that fast la. We have done the surveys many times already. So that day was to confirm things la. It was very exciting and tiring activities.

So now the plaster ceiling is done, the hacking of the kitchen concrete slap done, kitchen plumbing relocated, grille done, lights and fans purchased, kitchen cabinet selected and measured. What left – to install the kitchen cabinet, fix lights & fans, paint the main gate, order curtain & blinders, clean the house, to source for 3 ton lorry untuk angkut barang, to purchase racks for store room, fix curtain & blinders, pack things up and move it! Move it!

Allo? Kenapa itu ceiling manyak tinggi?

Wa tarak rasa tu angin kipas pusing-pusing wa punya kepala atas

Rumah wa tarak aircond ma....

I also have put ‘FOR RENT’ signage in front of my rented house. I hope my nice landlord will receive fews calls on that. I have made claim for late delivery of property from the new house developer. The house was delivered about a month later than promised, but have not received any news yet. Yes, I’m kiasu like that, but I need the money to install aircond plak. Panas giler kan sekarang ni?

WORK
February was a short month. Rushing many things this month. Then, there was an annual dinner. Aku dah lama berazam dan dah lama berjaya tidak involve directly with annual dinner preparation. Bagi chance la kan kat budak-budak muda untuk buat semua ni. But this year, ntah macam mana termakan pujukan pulak terus jadi invitation and program manager. Invitation tu ok, but program ni sangat leceh. Nasib baik ramai yang volunteer tolong. But annual dinner deserve a different entry lah. So later with photo maybe.

Rokers Unite..... hahahaha

There are some changes in the organization structure. There some problems and issues that need urgent attention. There is refurbishment project coming. My boss is particularly busy running here and there to sort & solve things. I have no choice but to chase him *semput*

FAMILY
There are many issues that bothering me now. It seems, since last year satu-satu hal datang menjengah. Just to think about it makes my heart beats faster. Mostly about my younger sisters. You guys dah dewasa. I don’t want to keep talking about the same old stories. I don’t want to bagi nasihat itu dan ini as if I have a perfect life. But I love you all so much and I want you all to be happy. But I really hope you will do what you guys suppose to do. If you have to make life changing decision, pleaseeeeee discuss it with other family members with open heart and mind. The key word is : B.L.E.S.S.I.N.G.

My in-laws are busy now with wedding preparation for Che Man’s younger brother. I feel like I have not contributed anything meaningful in the process. Sibuk dengan hal & masalah sendiri je. I want to improve this situation. Kesian MIL & SIL, dapat menantu and in-law like me eh?

All in all, syukur pada Allah, I managed to stay alive & healthy till I am now 33 years old. My relationship with Che Man is stronger and happier. Aiman is growing fine, healthy, comel, bijak, entertaining and all that. We are going to experience new home and new place. I have made a list on how to improve my work performance and work attitude. Now, I felt fresh, motivated and excited about work all over again. I only hope some issues in my family resolve one by one.

Alhamdullillah.

Update

...... Blog will be updated within this week.

Acehceh....

2010 Monthly Plan

Dah jauh kedalam tahun 2010 rupanya. Fulawei... aku baru nak lancar tulis 2009, dah masuk 2010. Azam tetap ada. Tapi seganlah nak detail-kan kat sini. Cuma untuk rujukan aku nanti-nanti, I want to list down my monthly plan for this year in brief.

Nothing so ambitious, just normal things.

.

JANUARY

I am supposed to receive our new house key this month. Today is 26th January already. Even though the house seems to be ready but no news about VP yet. Ok. Got to start calculating the late delivery claim now. Siut betul lah.

FEBRUARY
My birthday, Che Man birthday and our 4th wedding anniversary. Earlier we planned to go somewhere for vacation, but have to scrap the idea, coz the budget will have to go to the new house (hopefully will receive the key this February). Good thing is, the both dates will be on weekend selang sehari. A simple cake blowing ceremony and birthday song from Aiman will do. However, have applied for leave to go dating on our anniversary.

MARCH

Hopefully, we will be busy with the new house. Not much that we want to do with the house. Maybe just the ceiling, lightings, curtains, kitchen cabinet and grill (Insyaallah). To do cleaning, packing, transferring, unpacking and cleaning some more. To repeat this cycle 10 times.

I doubt that we can celebrate Aiman’s birthday in the new house, but whatever it is, I’m gonna get him Thomas & Friends cake for his birthday on the 7th March. He is going to be 3 years old this year. To start potty-train him too.

The above plans are at good timing, since I have to clear my last year’s balance of annual leave before end of the month.

APRIL
First and second week will be busy with Che Man’s brother wedding preparation. Tambah biras. Yeay!

Aiman should be diaper-less latest in the mid of April.

My younger sister is talking about getting married this month. Sekarang dah nak masuk February. Takde news pun. Biar betul dia ni.

MAY

IF I were to receive any bonus, it should be paid latest this month. I can’t remember how I spent the previous bonuses. But this time around I’ve made some plans – more tangible ones. So please la got bonus around this time. Please la.

JUNE

Planning for a short vacation. Maybe with family, maybe with friends, or maybe just the three of us.

Instead of April, I think my sister will get married in June. Sungguh tak sabar aku.

JULY
God willing, I wish I could get pregnant with a second child. Amin.

AUGUST
Harap bertemu Ramadhan tahun ini.

SEPTEMBER

Bulan raya, bulan yang indah. Bertemu saudara mara, sahabat handai, ziarah- menziarahi, mohon maaf-memaafi, makan-makan, happy-happy. Must make sure to make use of the festive mode (and extended leaves) to the max.

OCTOBER

I can’t wait for this year’s October. I'll pay the last installments for 2 loans. That will be a big relief for me. So, I can do more saving after October. Did I say I can’t wait for this year’s October?

NOVEMBER
Again, short vacation will be nice. To go & do somewhere / something different than the one in June.

DECEMBER

December is always busy time at work. I hope I’ll survive.

Biadap Kau eh?

Dah memang betul, terbukti dan kau sendiri ter-confessed yang kau sedang mengganggu-gugat rumahtangga orang, lagi kau nak biadap kan?
.
That’s facts. People talking about facts. Terkena lak batang hidung kau. Nasiblah. Boleh lak warning orang lain ‘Ape salahnya? Lelaki boleh kahwin empat. You just go back and take care of your husband lah!’ .

.

Hahahaha…. kau takut dengan bayang-bayang sendiri kan? Sebab tu kau lebih senang keluarkan statement biadap pada orang yang jauh lebih tua daripada kau.
.
Umur kau berapa?
Umur perempuan yang kau suruh jaga husband dia tu berapa?

.
Somemore, she wasn’t talking to you.
She was just joking with that asshole your boyfriend about having second and third wife. They both were laughing away, enjoying their conversation.

Perlu ke keluarkan statement biadap macam tu?
Terkena batang hidung?

Kau bebalik berangan.

Jantan tu sibuk merosak reputasi kau kat tempat kerja. Balik kerja kang, dia peluk dan cium his wife. While he is making passionate love to his wife, kau kat umah dok tengok ceiling, tenung cicak beromen.

Kesian kau.

Makhluk perosak!

Moralnya Di Sini

Wah.

Dah seminggu raya.

Patut la badan rasa 2 kg lebih berat, dagu berlapis, pipi pun rasa berat. Serius.

Semua orang pun sibuk nak bercerita pasal raya lepas ni. Aku akan juga. Tapi minggu depan gamaknya. Takda mood. Masuk hari ni, dah seminggu aku sakit kepala. Walau tak heavy, tapi sentiasa ada. Rimas betul lah.

Dah start kerja hari ni. Setengah hari, Che Man kerja full day. Aiman masih tinggal kat Nilai dengn atuk, uwa dan mak su dia. Nenek Shah Alam dia tak habis raya kat kedah lagi. Risau jugak aku ni sebab dia dah start demam malam tadi. Kalau Che Man dapat kerja half day hari ni, balik kang oleh bawa dia gi Klinik. Aku pun kena check jugak ni, naper sampai seminggu sakit kepala macam ni. Muak dah makan panadol.

Aku ingat tak best kena kerja balik lepas seminggu-tak-ingat-opis. Tapi ok pulak rasanya. Rindu dekat rutin pejabat. Agaknya memang aku dasar suka pada rutin. Dah memang sah aku pompuan yang memboringkan.

Tadi terserempak dengan kawan kerja aku yang sorang tu. Tetiba aku rasa semacam. Hairan gak aku dengan perasan aku tu. Oh! baru aku teringat. Beberapa hari sebelum raya, aku ada terempak dengan husband dia dengan sorang perempuan. Husband dia ni tak kenal aku, tapi aku cam muka dia sebab boleh katakan hari-hari aku nampak dia hantar & ambik wife dia kat tempat kerja. Selamba badak je husband dia bercerita dengan kawan dia (depan aku) yang perempuan dengan dia tu 2nd wife dia.

Aku tau kawan aku sorang ni dah pun disuruh dek husband balik ke kampung dengan anak-anak beberapa hari awal sebelum raya. Alasan nya, dia akan balik malam raya sebab dia kena kerja sampai petang raya tu. %.U.N.@.E.K la woi! Kerja opis gomen cam kau, pehal kena kerja hari sabtu sampai petang raya? Rerupanya nak bersoping-soping ngan bini muda.

Kesian kawan aku tu tak tau pun. Naper la perempuan baik macam dia kena tipu juga dek laki yang bajet jujur, setia and loving tu?

MORAL CERITA INI:
1) Kenali lah rakan-rakan suami / isteri anda.
2) Kalau nak bercerita hal sensitip, pilih lah tempat. Bukan di kedai gambar komplek PKNS.
3) Pulang lah beraya ke kampung bersama-sama suami atau isteri anda. Toksah ngarut balik awal dan sebagainya.
4) Ketahui lah dengan jelas nature of job suami / isteri anda.
5) Kalau dah kahwin lagi satu tu, berterus-teranglah dengan isteri tua anda. Maka tidak lah isteri muda anda melopong, tidak mendapat giliran beraya dengan anda. Ada laki pun, macam takde.
6) Kalau anda dah tau suami anda dah berkahwin lagi satu, jangan bagitau dia yang anda dah tau. Nanti dia siap buat jadual giliran pulak.

Anda mampu mengubahnya! (ye ke?)

Semangat Jiran 1 Malaysia

Last week, I received a call from one of my neighbors. After a little confusion of who she really is and how she got my number, finally we managed a conversation.

Kakak : Rumah Nomi ada orang ke?
Aku : Takde lah. Naper kak?
Kakak : Pintu rumah terbukak lah. Baik Nomi balik cepat!

Adoi la…… Tak kan sekali lagi kena masuk pencuri kot? Terbayang-bayang apakah barang-barang yang bakal dirembat kali ni serta keadaan rumah yang akan disepah-sepahkan.

I was in the midst of preparing urgent paper for my boss and had no car to go home. I quickly dialled Che Man’s hp. No answer. I called his office (never called his office before) and his officemate said “Dia dah pergi sembahyang Jumaat”.

No choice. I sent him sms “Jiran kata pintu rumah kita terbuka. Pls check”.

Then I called the Kakak (not sure of her name). I told her that I had no car to go home immediately and Che Man kat Masjid. I asked her whether she can help to see from outside of the house - at least. To see if there is any movement, activity, house condition, etc.

After 10 minutes she called again. From this Kakak story, I summarized:

The Malay kakak together with our Indian auntie neighbor and my next door Chinese auntie neighbor, berbekalkan semangat 1 Malaysia bergegas ke rumah aku. Sambil sorang satu memegang payung, mana tau boleh guna sebagai alat mempertahankan diri. Upon seeing that the gate was locked, they climbed the concrete fence. (Macam mana 3 aunties panjat pagar tu… I can’t imagine). When they reached at the door, they saw our house keys tersangkut kat situ!

They went inside anyway and saw the house was still in order (lebih kurang la). Takde tanda kena burglarize pun. The fan at living room was still running, the car porch light lighted. All of them later agreed to a same conclusion - the house owner telah terlupa mengunci pintu rumah sebelum berambus ke tempat kerja!

Oh… so kesian they all had to climb the concrete fence (agak tinggi ooo..), dengan jantung dub dab dub dap. Nasib baik takde yang kena heart attack.

Belum lagi hantar food ke rumah-rumah mereka sebagai tanda terima kasih.

Maluuuuuu….

Padan Muko Den

Den kono UTI.

Padan muko den. Sari sobolum tu den poso. Takdo la minum na air do. Peh tu malam minum 2 cawan kupi, 1 cawan air putih (nak minum ubek nyor pasal). Sahur pagi sok tu 2 cawan teh-O.

*mataku terbuntang*

Kekawan yang budiman. Sekarang sudah pukul 1.00 potang. Air mineral 500 ml tu sotongah pun lum habeh.

Habeh camno?


* Tak dapek la den poso 3 hari ni.

No. 77, J.alan M.ak Y.ong

Last weekend went to visit the still-in-progress house.

When we reached the gate, I saw No. 65 at the gate.

I quickly told Che Man it’s a wrong house. Ours should be no. 77. Che Man cakap 77 tu nombor lot, bukan nombor rumah. Dah betul lah rumah tu.. bla….bla….bla…bla. Aku setuju je la. Tak baik lawan cakap laki.

Aku sebenarnya sikit kecewa la kan. Aku suka benar dengan nombor tujuh. Apa lagi kalau di-double-kan. Takde rezeki nampaknya.

We spent quite sometimes there with 2 apeks from renovation company who happened to be around the area when we just arrived. Let’s call them renovation-apeks from now on. We entered the house through unlock kitchen door. The house is actually 99% completed. Alhamdulillah. According to the renovation-apeks, during their last check with developer, we all boleh dapat kunci in August instead of December this year. Wahhh.. excited kita orang. Terus confirm buat grill dengan renovation-apeks tu. Tanya costing if we want to do this & that. Simply la. Bukan nak buat sangat pun, sajer buang masa renovation-apeks tu.

Aku ambil kesempatan snap-snap gambar bagai.

Pas tu I saw 2 cars comings. Oh, jiran sebelah rupanya. Since their house is locked, they asked permission to enter ours. Terjadilah sesi berkenalan dengan jiran. Kunci lum dapat, tapi dah kenal jiran – a young Malay couple with a baby. They all pun confirm nak buat grill dengan renovation-apeks tu. Tengah dok pusing-pusing dalam rumah, ada satu mamat (mungkin mamat Mynmar) datang. Marah nampaknya pasal kita masuk dalam rumah. We all explained that the door was unlock. Ignored him for while then chow. Bengang giler mamat tu.

After few days, I still kept thinking about no. 77. So I took out my file and looked for the area plan and offer letter.

Jeng !

Jeng!

Jeng!

.

.

.

.There IS No. 77. The same row with No. 65. Only in a different block. There was this one road that had caused the whole confusion. Bagus. Salah kan jalan tu. Tak baik salah kan diri sendiri. We also realized, there is no such thing as ‘No.77-is-a-lot-number’ coz the lot number is five-digit number.

Dah siap masuk rumah, complained sana sini, ambik gambar bagai nak rak, plan dengan renovation-apeks, berkenalan dengan jiran, kena marah dengan budak Mynamar – rerupanya kita orang salah rumah!

.

Jiran-tak-jadi

Terpaksa Rela

Aku cukup menyampah naik kereta lama-lama. Nak nya bila dah ada anak ni. Mana nak angkut barang-barang dia lagi, kencing berak dia dalam perjalanan dan perangai dia dalam keta lagi. Tak bawak kang, tak sampai hati pulak. Nanti aku jugak yang dok terkenang-kenang dan rindu-rinduan dengan si kecik tu. Tu la sebab aku selalu avoid unnecessary journey. Leceh. dasar pemalas .

Tapi hujung minggu yang lepas terpaksa dikecualikan pasal menghantar sepupu yang bernikah di Penang. Alhamdullillah, lepas satu hal.

Walaupun tak drive sekilometer pun, penatnya, mak aiiiii!

Esoknya lepas beberapa jam sampai rumah, mak tersayang announced :

“Abang kau kahwin nanti, dah ado tarikh 'eh.

Mak ingat nak buek 1 bulan 8 taun ni.

Oghang sano nak tak nak tunggu lelamo.

Kono la kau rezeb cuti nanti......."

(Reserve cuti? Takde hal....)

.

.

(after that she added....)

"Kito poie KELANTAN!”

*pengsan*

Ingatan Tergelincir

At my workplace, beside 'Nomee-the-underdressed-assistant', I am also known for my lapse of memory and forgetfulness. I am under constant teasing for that.

Case 1:
I was at my friend’s house with few friends and their children. I asked one of the fathers, “Anak kau dah berapa bulan dah?” Dia jawab “4 bulan”. Then I saw him walked to his wife and gave the baby to his wife for nenen.

About 10 seconds after that, I was shocked to see that his baby is no longer with him and asked him *muka cuak* “Anak kau mana?”. Member tu pandang aku dengan muka confuse. I look around and saw his baby with his wife. Baru aku teringat. Then I asked him “Anak kau dah setahun dah?”.

Case 2:
I wanted to take bath. I walked to my towel hanger and abruptly stooped: I asked myself “Mana satu towel aku ni?” I really can't remember which one. I grabbed one and go mandi. After finished, I was surprised to see Che Man’s towel on the towel rack (in the bathroom). “Camna boleh ada kat sini?”

Case 3:
My boss asked for lunch / coffee / hot milk. After half an hour, he came and said “Maybe Coffee house is busy….”. Lepas dia masuk office dia balik, I quickly dialed coffee house and place the order - which was supposed to be done half and hour ago.

Case 4:
Che Man called in the evening and said “turun……” (maksudnya dia dah nak sampai). Aku pun habiskan baca blog yang sesapa aku tengah baca. Pas tu lompat blog lain, dan lain, dan lain. Pas tu Che Man akan call lagi. Itu tandanya dia dah tunggu setengah jam.

Antara kes-kes yang lain:
I washed my face then I brushed my teeth. After that, I had tough time to recall whether or not I’ve washed my face. I ended up wash my face twice.

.
Beria-ia aku cerita kejadian lucu kat Izan, dia pun ketawa beria-ia. Pastu dia kata “Dah… kak Nomi dah citer dah pagi tadi / semalam / hari tu”. Sumpah aku tak ingat. Kejadian macam ni berlaku terlalu banyak kali.

(Sekarang, sebelum aku start citer / buat awak. I’ll tell her, “You probably have heard this from me…….” *and tell the story anyway*. Just to cover myself.
.

Kes tertinggal barang, tak usah nak cakap lah.

.
There were many times I swore to Che Man that I’ve never seen barang / bills / letters / vouchers that he gave me last week. Dah jumpa baru ingat.

.
My boss walking towards me and put a bunch of keys on my table. I recognize those are my office keys. Dunno where he found them. Happened many times.

.
I have the ‘budget 2009/2010’ book in my tray for quite sometimes now. I only will put it in my try coz there is something my boss asked me to do. But till now I can’t remember what am I supposed to do with it. (Pagi tadi, diam-diam I put the book back on his table. Did nothing with it).

.
Recently, I teased a chef on his ‘new’ spectacles. He said “sudah pakai lama lah..” and the rest of the group laughed at me. This is one Chef I see several times a day.

.
A staff asked me my boss’s age. I went blank. I quickly flip through my diary and ask her “Dia lahir bulan berapa yek?”. Pastu kena marah, “Siapa PA dia ni?”. I work for him for 8 years.
.

That’s why I write many things in my notes book / diary. The problem is, I always forget to refer to it.

.
My friend suggested me to take supplement. I bought two bottles of Gingko Biloba. The problem is, I always forget to take it.

There are many other cases but I can’t remember anymore.

Buat apa weekend tu hari?

I am sick of spending weekdays outside the house until 10pm – almost every night.

So last weekend, I tried my very best not to go out. Not so successful, coz on Saturday early morning, I had to drive to groceries shop. I usually do that on Friday night after work, but we were out for dinner with Che Man’s family last Friday. On Saturday Che Man had to work, so I decided to go out early, buy groceries and breakfast so we can have breakfast together at home. I had to make sure I have what ever things I need to cook this weekend ready before Che Man go to work. Camni la kalau ada satu keta je

Half way through cooking my ayam masak lomak cili api, I realized that I didn’t have asam keping. So I called Che Man to buy some on his way back for lunch. When he came back, I reheated the gulai and threw in the asam keping. As I was opening a small container to put my balance of asam keping, thereeee…. I saw not one, but two packets of asam keping! Nampak sangat lama tak masak, sampai lupa kat mana letak asam keping ;) But I didn’t tell Che Man lah.

Spent the rest of Saturday afternoon doing laundry, cleaning and wiping. Sempat juga bergaduh dengan Aiman. Kuat buat sepah budak ni. He poured quarter bottle of honey on the floor, whole pack of ikan bilis into my stove, tabur bedak on my dressing table, keluarkan some pinggan mangkuk dari dalam almari. He also took out coins from tabung KFC and put them into his aeroplane dan kemudian ketuk-ketuk benda alah tu kat dinding sambil mengamuk coz he could not get those coins out. Kenapa lah wahai anak kau tak reti duduk diam tengok TV? Nasib baik petang tu dia tido sekejap. Kalau tak, meroyan aku.

After dinner Che Man asked me to follow him to send his brother in-law to KLIA but I refused. Sending one person to KLIA with two cars is just not productive. Che Man brought Aiman with him.

I thought I can just sit watching TV but it didn’t happen. I started with cleaning the house & sorting things out, and then took long shower. At 1a.m Che Man masih belum balik, aku siang ikan, ayam & sotong, malah siap tumbuk bawang bagai. Semangat nak masak untuk besok datang awal la pulak. I told myself many times that I should just take this opportunity to lepak, enjoy my tea, read a book, watch DVD or something relaxing, but I just can’t stop.

Che Man & Aiman only reached house after 1.30am. At first I was worried. We didn’t expect Che Man will come back so late. How la Aiman wants to sleep in the car when Che Man didn’t bring his car seat? When they reached home, Aiman was happily sat at the back seat holding a pack of junk food and refused to come out of the car. Budak bertuah. Tak tido lagi rupanya dia.

“Aiman gi mana tadi sayang?”

“Nenok ayah-pin” (tengok aeroplane)

I spent Sunday cooking & cleaning some more. Bila Aiman tido petang, I spent time with Che Man watched DVDs and read weekend papers. Didn’t manage to finish a movie. Get-up and prepared dinner pulak. Sungguh aman damai kat dapur tanpa si kecik terjerit-jerit mahukan perhatian. In the evening, we decided to bring Aiman to playground nearby. There, I realized that I was actually really tired – or maybe rasa macam nak demam. I just sat there looking at Aiman & Che Man playing around. Aku tak larat angkat my fat ass and join them. I saw this one guy with his two children. His children spoke in English but he talked to them in Malay (I think he wanted to ‘communicate’ with me kot. Obvious ok).

He constantly ‘scolded’ his children “Cepat! Cepat! Bergayut pada palang. Gerak. Pemalas. Cakap banyak. Budak-budak sekarang tengok TV 24 jam. Takde keluar peluh. Itu pun tak boleh buat. Cakap sajer banyak. Makan 3 kali sehari, exercise malas!”

Fuh… semangat tuh.

Puas hati. All laundry baskets are empty, cloths are folded, sorted and hanged properly, the floors from front to back including in all rooms are shining, dua-dua bilik air bersinar & harum (over kau ni Nomi), took out 3 garbage bags, fridge is clean, furniture’s wiped, I cooked for every meals for two days, washed my hair nicely, scrubbed the whole body and pampered myself with very thick perfumed lotion, read book, newspapers, watched TV & DVDs and kena sakat dengan Aiman.

Berbaloi.

Errr…. Takde pulak aku ambik gambar.

Takda Update

I've drafted many entries.

.

Our short vacation.

Gathering with close friends - twice already!

Coffee session with ex-housemate and news she brought in!

Kedai gambar teramat bodoh kat Shah Alam Mall.

Annual meeting.

Aiman.

Dating & shopping with Che Man.

.

Ye.....semuanya di atas. Tapi satu pun aku tak publish. Rasa macam tah apa-apa je entries aku tu. Frust tak reti nak tulis semenarik kejadian yang sebenar. Meleret-leret tah apa-apa. Ada yang aku delete, tak save terus dan ada yang aku perab buat pekasam. Ada yang aku rasa dah terlalu basi, so baik takyah ;)

.

So, takde lah update.

.

Weekend ni aku off. Plan nak masak best-best sikit untuk Che Man and Aiman. Atau mungkin mengemaskan almari baju. Atau lepak-lepak baca fiksyen. Atau marathon DVDs. Mungkin aku patut ambik gambar activities on weekend pastu tempek-tempek kat sini. Suka hati aku lah kan? Blog aku.

.

Happy weekend you all.

Competition & I

I am not a very competitive person.

Pado akak, sapo-sapo nak compete, bleh pi compete, tapi akak kalau buleh memang tak nak join apo-apo competition pun. Akak tak suko pressure dan yang paling ponting, akak takut taknak kalah. Kot tak masuk, takdo la can nak kalah yo tak?

Masalah eh, kek company akak kojo ni, suka na buek competition. Baik competition mencipto tag line, cipto logo, cipto t-shirt design, cipto nama function room baru, pertandingan koborsihan, competition jua voucher, competition kurangkan borat badan dan macam-macam laie. Malah competition sapo-tangkap-lipeh-paling-banyak-dio lah terer pun ponah gak buek.

Simple Weekend

Last weekend was nice.

There were so many past weekends that we spent visited people in hospital, kenduri-kendara, balik kampung, etc. We were never home. Habuk dalam rumah pun dah bertingkat-tingkat, rumput pun tebal, fridge empty, pintu feezer takleh nak buka coz ice sungguh tebal, dapur pun tak berasap – things like that.

But last weekend, we spent time with just the three of us. Even though, it was a little bit spoiled coz I had to spend half day at work, but I managed to sort and clear many papers from my table. Since I had the car all for my self that afternoon, I took the opportunity to finally go and cut my hair. Dah berzaman okeyyy tak potong rambut. Niat hati nak potong rambut saja, tapi bila tengok tukang cuci rambut tu dok urut-urut bahu masa cuci rambut orang sebelah, tarusss……

“… cuci sekali dik ye….”. heaven.

My nieces complained said my face look tembam,

after I cut my hair short. Takpe la... nasik dah jadi bubur....

Ingat nak ambik Aiman pastu gi groceries shopping, balik rumah dan prepare minum petang. Tapi Aiman was sleeping when I arrived at MIL’s. Kena tunggu until about 4 something baru boleh balik. Aiman hates to sit in his car seat. All the way to Bukit Raja I had to calm him down. He managed to free half of his body when we reached the groceries shop near my house.

Berpeluh-peluh aku dukung dia sambil pilih ikan, sayur and some other things. By the time we reached home, it was nearly 5pm. Since I needed to pick up Che Man at 6.00pm, I had to skip tea time and straight away prepared dinner, did one load of laundry and gave Aiman his evening bath.

After we got home, we had home cooked dinner and I did some house chores (so that I don’t have to do to many things the next day).

The planned was to prepare breakfast for them on Sunday. Tapi bangun tido je teringat roti arab from nearby restaurant. So Che Man went and tapau breakfast and after that just lepak till afternoon.

Afternoon mission started a bit late. After so many weekends, I finally found my self at Summit USJ. Got myself 6 DVDs, 3 books, few shorts and t-shirts. We had Japanese food for lunch. Chasing Aiman around made us felt tired. So we decided to leave the mall earlier than planned.

Aiman slept all the way to Bukit Raja. But we didn’t go home straight. We went and checked our still-in-progress house. This time around we managed to see our actual unit because jalan semua dah siap. But the door was locked of course. We took a look from the back of the house also and that was when I got shocked – the size of the kitchen is only about half of my current kitchen's size!

*pengsan*

Well, I already know it is not going to be as big as current ones, but THAT small? Bertenang… bertenang….. Nomi. I’ll wait till I got my keys and see what I can do about it. Of course there are still rooms for renovation but looking at our financial forecast till end of this year, I doubt it that I can do many things with the house before we move in.

If we can pay overdue payment interest, deposit for water & electricity, pasang grills, lampu, kipas (hopefully air-cond too) and most importantly my kitchen cabinet (which is now I know it won’t cost so much anymore due to the ciput-size kitchen) and tempah langsir - dah cukup bagus dah. To break the wall so to extend the kitchen till the dry area, change the tiles, put up wall tiles, build additional wall and change the door location is too ambitious at this point of time.

*sigh*

Biasa la. Tuan rumah dengan anak tuan rumah

mesti nak ambik gambar depan rumah....

Sambung balik pasal weekend.

We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening cleaning bathrooms, trimming grass, angkat kain, lipat kain, another load of laundry, gosok baju, mengelap sana situ, preparing dinner and layan Aiman. When Aiman finally tido and Che Man started doing his office works, I spent two and half hours watching Slumdog Millionaire. (Ye… baru sekarang dapat tengok, berhenti menjuih bibir tu ye.) I even managed to read few pages from the newly purchased book.

I love this type of weekend where I did my house chores tanpa tergesa-gesa. Enjoyed breakfast with two special ‘men’ in my life while watching TV and read weekend newspapers. Watched my husband trimming our laman semak with Aiman tried to ‘help’ him around. Realized Che Man menghabiskan dua pinggan nasi with my mediocre lauks - macam la sedap sangat. Peluk and cium each other sambil menunjuk-nunjuk kat Aiman simply because we know that he will tergelak-gelak malu. (I wonder why).

Spent time with Aiman dari pagi sampai petang. I love it when he suddenly appeared in the kitchen and bodek me so that I’ll make him his susu. Tetiba dia datang berlari and hugged my legs and said "yea yea… ibu… ibu.." and asked me to dukung him so that he can see what was in my kuali. Gave him bath and struggled to brush his teeth. Bergumpal-gumpal atas katil sambil bergelak ketawa, sorted out his no-longer-fit clothes which reminded me kisah dia dolu-dolu when he was still muat in those baju(s).

Berlari-lari anak kat shopping mall sambil terjerit-jerit kat Aiman. Threatened him that we won’t bring him to mall again – knowing it won’t happen ;) Forced Che Man to eat Japanese food just for the sake of trying. Finally got my DVDs and books, walaupun only God knows when I’ll watch or read them!

I didn’t do some other things that I wanted to do last weekend. Mostly something to do with cleaning, arranging, sorting, storing, etc. But it’s ok. Weekend does not always equal to hari mengemas rumah.

It is also about spending quality time with your little family.

Bahaya ni

I had this weird dream last night (or was it this morning?).

In my dream, I received a letter, something like show cause letter from employer, but kindda technical letter, looked like you telephone bill – with columns, rows, boxes and all that.

It was actually sim card bill. WTF kan? Where got sim card bill? Hp bill adalah.

Anyway, at first, I didn’t understand what the letter was about. The only thing I felt after I looked at the letter was angry & confuse at the same time. Really angry I tell you. The letter asked me to return my sim card for no reasons.

Then, I read the letter again. It was hard. You know what I mean la, if you ever tried reading in your dream, like you try to read exam questions that suddenly appear in your dream the night before you sit for your exam. Something like that.

Anyway, after I tried very hard, I managed to read the letter.

It says something like:

We have investigated your sim card and found out that, during working hours, you were at sekian sekian shopping malls. Through your conversation with some sales girls, you were actually asking for some things to give your son for his birthday. In conclusion, you have violated company policy by using company facilities for your personal use during working hours. bla...bla... bla...

Haaaaaa… camtu la lebih kurang. Ayat memang berterabur la kan. Al maklum lah ayat-ayat dalam mimpi.

Anyway, I argued with I-don’t-know-who in the dream about validity of the accusation (guilty conscious masa tu), coz how the hell they know about that? Later I found out that my sim card got this ability to record my conversations or locations. Something like that.

I wanted to argue some more but Che Man woke me up. I opened my eyes, looked around for the letter, but it was nowhere to be seen. Oh! Mimpi rupanya.

As I was sitting on my bed tried not to laying down again, my head went saying: “Bahaya la camni. Tah tah they already knew when I made love and all that?” Oh mengarut terus sampai ke situ aku. Nko ingat kau politician?

Apa maksud mimpi tu? Adakah disebabkan ada ura-ura boss nak meng-install software that could track which websites we logged in? Adakah sebab kekadang (ok ok... selalu) I check blogs during office hour? Atau adakah kerana Aiman yang sedang enak tidur disebelah mempunyai kuasa sakti yakni berkebolehan memberitahu melalui mimpi yang dia belum dapat hadiah harijadi nya lagi?

Mungkin semuanya di atas.

Gomok na ko?

Itu hari la. Dah lamo sobonar eh cito ni. Tak sompek nak update yo. Tadi den baco citor minah yang fav color pink tapi nickname dia green apple, pasal dia nak mintak jadi bahan cobaan untuk slimming centre. Toghuih den teringek hal yang jadi bebeghapo minggu lopeh.

Cenggini cito eh.

Ada sekali tu hujung minggu, maso boss takdo, den bersantai-santai kek opis baco newspaper dio. Yo lah. Hari Sabtu kan… apo barang kojo kuek kan? Peh tu den ternampak lak satu iklan slimming center yang agak mahsyor kek Malaysia ni. Dio suh sms namo kito ngan cawangan yang kita raso nak cuba at free of charge. Den pun punyo la pendek akal, den poie sms tulih “N.omi S.ubang P.arade”.

Dah la pendek akal, peh tu den leh ilang ingatan lak pasal tu. Boto..... Lansung tak ingat doh....

Minggu dopan eh tu, den cuti-cuti Malaysia, melepak kek kampung, den dapek call dari slimming centre tu. Dio kato nak bagi offer free trial untuk den kat slimming centre S,ubang P.arade. Suh den spare 3 jam. Mak ai…. Masalah bosa ni. Den sobonar eh takdo pun bagi tau laki den pasal sms tu. Ghaso menyosa pun ado. Cakap punyo cakap, akhir eh den ngan sales girl tu setuju set date untuk hujung minggu.

Few days peh tu, den pun bagi tau la kek Che Man. Member rileks jo. Aik…? Polik ni, ingatkan nak marah. Mungkin dia pun sodar yang bini eh dah debab dan FOC offer cam ni takdo membocor an poket dio.

Tapi 2 hari sobolum tu, den pikir-pikir balik, 3 jam tu lamo. Kesian kek anak den tinggal lelamo. Kok terbeghak ko deh, kok ghindu kek den ko…..Peh tu den cakap kek Che Man, tak jadi la nak poie. Sok eh tu den nak call slimming centre tu. Tapi den baru perasan yang den sobonar eh takdo nombor tipon dio. Po laie… den google la.

Peh tu den terjumpo bondo ni, cito ni dan kisah ni. La wei… lagi bersemangat lak den nak cancel appointment. Toghuih den call. Minah tu suh explain napo tak jadik lak. Den maleh nak citor. Den cakap “I’ve change my mind. I’m not that fat la. Thank you anyway”. Peh tu dio citor yang dio dah book bilik la, itu la, ini la. Nasib kau la milah. Den bukan kesah na masalah ko do. Bolum jumpa nak push push, ni kang kalau dah kek dopan mato, maun den terpaksa sign up plak. Den ni bukan buleh orang push push – ghimeh.

Tapi takpo la. Seb baik den teringat nak google. Walau asal eh nak carik nombor tipon (macam takleh tanyo operator), tapi dapek info lobeh laie. Elok la tu.

Den dah gilo apo? Ado ko den poie hantar sms tu? Kok yo pun teringin, patut eh den google ko dulu ko… tanyo orang ko….. Yang den sebok-sebok nak kurus free napo? Melantak kuek, bosonam maleh, makan jamu kurus manjang lupo, minum herba tea terjeluek, peh tu komplen gomok! Bongok tul den ni.

Ok ok. Dulu den 45 kg. Lopeh bersalin budak bertuah tu, jadi 55 kg. Lopeh 3 bulan jadi 50kg. Sampai sekrang camni la. Gomok na ko?

Kok korang tak paham entry ni, takpo do. Tosah ghisau-ghisau hati. Citor biaso jo. Tak koso den nak translate do. Den update ni dah cukup baik (untuk jiwo den sendiri).

Tak dapek nak nolong do….!
