LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS

Ooohhh..lemah semangat aku nak tulis entry nih tau. actually aku dah malas nak sumpah seranah tempat aku bekerja. ye lah dimana aku bekerja, di situlah rezeki aku makan dan bagi makan kat anak-anak aku betoi tak? tapi bila dah sampai tahap kebangangan yang maksima...meletop jugakkk!!
korang pernah dengar tak proverb "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"?

Aku rasa kita semua dah dengar proverb nih sejak tadika lagi. walaupun aku cuma belajar kat Garden International School tadika Kemas Kg. Telaga Nyiur Manis, itu hanyalah proverb biasa yang bermain di mulut2 comel kami. and i (as well as most of my friends) keep saying it thousands time during our school days (Hey SMKAP girls, do you remember kita tampal this proverb poster in our kelas 2 Sumaiyah?).

Then, one day in a meeting in this so called big company, aku pun mengeluarkan this proverb just to menggambarkan how is our situation (the operators work EVERYDAY days and night including Sundays). I tried to grab their (the big bosses) attention to give a little bit condiseration to the workers to get some rest and time for their valuable family, and of course time for their own refreshment, so that they can improve by giving quality works instead of buat keja sambil terlelap.

So come this GENERAL MANAGER "apa yang kamu cakap tu?". frowning and blur. and i bet the Directors dont even able to catch up my saying (poor English listening skill, definitely).

Oh my Godddd!!!!! And the others (ahli mesyuarat) some smiling (yg pernah dengar, maybe) and some look even blur dan ternganga.

bila la nak berkembang maju kalau macam nih? patutla pun produk dia takde kat oversea. aku bukan la berlagak pandai sangat & bangga cakap bahasa penjajah nih. but sometimes, we just need English. especially for the board of Directors and managers. takkanlah english words yang level2 tadika pun xleh paham.

Aku rasa, that will be my last English word here. Next time, dont dare to talk English in this meLAYU place.they will treat you like a dog among the cats...huh!

Errr...by the way, have you ever heard of "A fool at forty, is a fool forever"? I wonder how old are my bosses???

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

(I just get to know it is celebrated on Second Sunday of May, so the day may vary for each year)

Today is Mother's Day.
I am celebrating without my Princess Zuzu by my side.
I am celebrating it all alone in ofiice. I have to work on Sunday, on Mother's Day.
I am not getting any gifts, or a kiss.
Because my Princess Zuzu is far in Perlis.
And Princess Yaya yet to know how to give me a kiss, but just pandai menangis.

To my mother & mother in law, Happy Mother's Day i wish to you.
I love both of you, hope you love me too. Hohohoho...

**Aku amat sangap dipaksa bekerja pada hari ini**
Tapi esok aku cuti...yahoo!!!!!

PULANGKAN...OH PULANGKANLAH

Ini cerita backdated. Labour Day tu kami balik kampung, ambik cuti tambahan so dptlah stay dlm 5 hari kat kampung. semua best kat kampung, kecuali tahap kepanasan di tahap gaban terbakar. sempat pi umah semua sedara mara terdekat, and sempat jugak jumpa kawan-kawan rapat (Aida n family, Isma n husband, Elly n family) lepak2 kat tepi pantai.

tapi yg x bestnya...masa nak balik tu...semua org mintak suruh tinggal Zulaikha kat kampung.depa (mak ayah aku & mak ayah in-law) cakap sebab depa kesian tengok aku yg dah kurus melidi. depa cakap aku nampak cengkung, mata tenggelam mcm hantu raya tak cukup rehat, x cukup masa untuk menikmati keseronokan uruskan diri sendiri. huhuhuhu...manusia nih mmg mcm tu. kalau aku balik dengan badan gemuk, mesti cakap aku x pandai jaga badan, makan tak kawal atau masuk angin. nih aku dah slim comel lote mcm anak dara,cakap aku x cukup makan pulak. adusss...cakap je lah mmg depa nak ambik zulaikha.huhuhu..amet pulak siap pasang pakatan rakyat komplot ngan mak-mak nih supaya agenda mereka itu berjaya. tidak kusangka, laki aku yang menjadi tali barut disebalik semua ini! akhirnya..ibu dan anak yang saling merindui itu telah dipisahkan....huhuuhuhu...

depa kata nak jaga zulaikha sampai aku gemuk gedempol sebulan (Insya Allah kami akan balik kampung lagi 6/6/09 ni sempena pertunangan adik ipar aku), tapi aku rasa dalam seminggu ni pun dah rindu membuak-buak kat dia. aku tak kira, minggu depan aku nak paksa mak hantaq anak aku balik. kalau tidak, aku suruh zulaikha beli tiket naik bas sendiri!
Zulaikhaa!!! Pulanglah!!! Ibu rindu padamuuu!!!!

IN PROGRESS

Finally, we have signed the S&P (sales and purchase agreement) as well as the bank loan agreement. Alhamdulillah...after passing by the hassle & messels, we are already at half-way.

Eventhough the house is a second-hand (we cant afford to buy new development as we will need to pay both for rumah sewa & rumah baru), we are still very excited to move in. well, at least it is uch much spacious compared to the rented apartment we stay currently. and anyhow, it will be our OWN house and we can do anything we want without asking permission to the owner.

Talking about permission, we just got greenlight from our lanlord to install an aircond at the apartment. we cannot wait until we move to the new house, but to install the aircond first as Zubaidah doesnt seems to sleep soundly at night due to hot weather nowadays. I've asked the contractor about the disamble and re-installation cost (once we move out) and agreed as it doesnt cost a bomb.

BAck to our new house, it is already renovated - with kitchen cabinets and extended wet kitchen. So that i will have a bbiiiiggggggg dry & wet kitchen as what i've been dreaming for years.

Thanks God i will not need to squeeze myself while cooking anymore. And no more screaming to Zulaikha & Zubaidah if they come 'to help' me baking cakes or potong sayur together. Oh, how fun to have those cute little girls accompany me cooking all the time. And if mothers & sisters come, that kitchen will be the place for gossipings and 'buat ketupat', heh!

However, we still have to wait for about 1 - 2 months for-bank-owners-us-transferring process/drawdown/change title and so. Hmm..i still have time to think if i want to add anything else before we move in - maybe the hob & hood, En.Amet?

Restaurant Review : Waroeng Penyet @ The Curve

Theme : Indonesian traditional meal & snacks

We tried : Ayam Penyet Set (Ayam Penyet + Nasi Puteh + Spicy Sambal + Salad + top of crunchy batter)

Komen : For the food i will give 3 stars but the service is not memuaskan hati. you know the typical indon - loklaq, kasar and kurang respect customer. and the handwash area is a bit dirty. Urrkkk!!! Tp sedap le...
I'm still interested to try the Siomay Bandung (traditional bandung dumplings)

Aweeraaa!!! kesian wiraku telah kalah di medan perjuangan . sob sob sob. sekian...selamat balik ke perlih na...anyway tahniah kerana telah mengharumkan nama perlih (semangat assabiyah betoi).
