(DON'T) PUT THE BLAME ON ME

Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada SEDIH dan GEMBIRA?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada yg SENANG dan yg SUSAH?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada yg MISKIN dan yg KAYA?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada JAHAT dan BAIK?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada HITAM dan PUTIH?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada SUKA dan DUKA?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada TERANG dan GELAP?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada DERITA dan BAHAGIA?
Dan kenapakah pilihan aku selalunya yang derita, gelap, duka, hitam, jahat, miskin, susah dan sedih?
Akukah yang tersalah memilih?
Kenapa dalam hidup ni mesti ada PILIHAN?

CHANGE AGAIN?

i was on half day EL yesterday when Amet call, asking me to go back to look after Zulaikha. she got msg from the babysitter that Zulaikha is having high fever.
We meet at home and took Zulaikha to PMC. the doctor give her pcm suppository (this girl mmg suusaaahhh sangat makan ubat), so she looks better in few hours. but her face still look reddish and burning of high temperature. the only problem is to give her the oral antibiotics (pharmmacist, please create a suppository for antibiotics too..!!) Baru jek nk suap setitik, dia dh muntah. aduss...

Today, i am on leave - took Zubaidah for vaccination. just 2 of us went to clinic. she just nangis (mcm x nanges jek?) sikit, then fall asleep after kena cucuk. and continue sleeping all the way back home. lentok jeh atas car seat tuh, kesian...
sampai umah dia terus tidur dgn amat lena, so aku pun tumpanglah sekaki.hehehhehe
until 1 o'clock, terpaksa bangun nak siap--siap, pi mana? ada invitation. interview. heheehehheh
then, after interview, my head start pening. it's not that i''m not feeling well, but it's about to choose - do i really wants to quit my current job? do i really wants to join the new company?
the new one offered me more, but in terms of allowences, they had less. while the current one give less basiics but with more allowences.
and if after this i move to our new house, i have to pay every-day-toll to go to the new one.
pheww...this time it's quite hard for me to make decision. usually i never reject any job offred. dapat jeh offer lebih, terus blah. tp sekarang nih dh pandai demand, dh belh buat pro & con. maklumlah...dh byk pengalaman...heheheh
well, lets take a rest first. i will think better when i'm relaxed.

I wish i have more time and more energy everyday - i've been thinking of what to blog since few days but couldnt find a right time to do that. i had so many stories in queue to be listed in this blog.

after the HSBC day (14/4/09), we went again to HSBC Amanah on 16/4/09, just to clarify on few questions lingering in our mind, and as well as getting advice from the friendly banker (Mr. Fazli). I tell you, this is the most convenient bank i hv ever been. they treat us like frinds, play with Zulaikha n Zubaidah, buat lawak sini sana, but on the same time doing the job efficiently. even the manager (thanks Mr. Tengku Azhar) comes and see us and talks and give advice aboout this and that (Ok to tell the truth, we are gathering infos for housing loan and other infos on S&P, lawyer/loan agreemnet fees etc.) And they make us feel like at home. And we stay late until 10 pm (the bank supposed to close at 9.30 pm). i would like to highly recommend this branch to everybody as i am sure all of friends are looking for the best service too.

And to continue discussion, we went there again on Sunday (yes, they open 7 days/week too). Until then we agreed to open an account, get their insurance etc. so they give us 3 bags of compliments gift and umbrellas.Bravo!!!

So if you are looking for the bestest bank in the town, kindly proceed too the HSBC Amanah @ One Utama - you'll definitely get the first gold class bank service.

PETANG YANG MALAM

On Sunday (12/4/09), aku isu satu cek dekat orang, but asked her to cash it on Tuesday (14/4/09) sebab aku akan gi bank in duit dalam my HSBC account on Monday.
So on Monday, aku gi ambik duit dari Maybank n CIMB and nak gi cash depositkan kat HSBC. first time aku masukkan duit, ATM machine tu reject with note "Not more than 30 pcs per transaction." OK so aku masukkan 20 keping. but this time keluar plak mesage "Kad ditelan. Sila hubungi pihak bank". And that time was 5.50 pm. the bank is already closed. i asked the guard what shuld i do. luckily HSBC guard is very well trained (and good in english too! Tahniah!!), so he asked me to use the phone at the corner to talk to their Customer Service Representative (CSR).

"Can i hv ur IC number please?
Given.
"I'm so sorry but your name is not listed here. Culd u pls spell ur name for me?"
Given.
"I'm so sorry miss, ur name is really not listed in our system.I suggest u go to our branch at One Utama bcause they still open until 9.30 pm.Thank you."

At HSBC One Utama.
"Salam..my name is Fazli, may i assist u miss?"
"Yes, please. my atm card dh kena retained kat uptown td. i nk depositkan duit je. tp x bawak pulak no akaun."
" OK, let me check ur status in the system.Can i hv ur IC."
Checking.
" Miss, is the account is really under YOUR name?"
"Yes, of course"
"I couldnt find anything under ur name, or IC number here. peliknya..when do u opened the account, and what type of account it is?"
"It is a PowerVantage, come with atm card and cheque book. i opened in April 2006."
Checking again, but same result.
"Let me call few friends from other branches. And one from Call Centre too. Hope they can help. Actually, kalau u ada bawak no akaun, it will be helpful."
"Kalau mcm tu saya balik ambiklah. ada kat rumah. Saya nk bank in urgent ni. Saya dh janji dgn org tu dia bleh cashkan cheque by tmrow. Nanti dia cakap saya tipu pulak."
"Hmm...susah jugak tu. It's ok awak tngu skjap je, saya try call diorg ni dulu."
Make phone calls here n there.
" Hah, ok ada pun. ni ha Yue...Yus..., no akaun xxxxxxx, account auto-closed on October 2008."
"La dh closed? saya xde terima apa2 notification pun?"
"Hmm..saya mintak maaf atas kesilapan kami. tp saya pun x sure kenapa.saya mmg dh x bleh buka semula akaun ni. so meaning that ur cheque tu pun dh invalid."
"alamak...mcm mana nih? aduh...xpelah saya gi kasi cash je lah kt org tu esok. thanks."

Tengah jalan nk g parking, Amet called me.

"Akaun HSBC ayg tu dh auto-closed, invalid."
"Ha, why dont u go back to HSBC tu and ask them to buat bank draft. bahaya la bawak duit byk2 dlm beg tu."
"Hmm..ok jugak."

HSBC OU, again.

"Fazli, sorry ek. bleh tolong buatkan bank draft utk saya tak?"
"Hehehehe...ok buleh2...meh duduk. Tp ada syaratnya...u hv to open an account with us."
"Alamak...akaun baru la pulak..oklah, register je lah.."
setelah sekian lama, bangun duduk x tau berapa kali, siaplah jugak my new account at HSBC Amanah.
"OK terima kasih kerana menunggu, ini bank draft awak. ada charge RM5 kita akan deduct froom ur accountlah.thank you..."

Dah puku 9.00 pm. Amet plak ckp byk keja kt ofis. Anak-anak x ambik lg. Bank draft ni kena hantar malam ni jugak, nanti org tu cakap aku bg cek tendang pulak. Hari hujan.

Singgah umah jap, ambik anak-anak. Teruskan perjalanan yang mencabar di dalam hujan lebat, meredah jalam jam di malam gelap gelita, bersama dua anak kecik.

Sampai kt umah org tu, terus bagi dia bank draft tu. and mtk maaf coz acccount for the cheque is no longer valid.

On the way back, singgah jap Petronas, brreastfeed Zubaidah yg crying loudly n hungrily. Zulaikha had fall asleep at the back seat after crying few times asking for "shushu". Then terus balik umah, sampai dh dkt pukul 10 pm. Penat amat sgt okeh. Nk singgah tapau food kt mamak pun x larat dh. So just call McDelivery jek, amatlah x kenyang sekali. huhuuhu

Tetiba telefon bebunyi...(Wonderpets)

"Yuzaini, the bank draft aaaaaa...salah spelling nama woo...it shuld be W, but u put here M."
"Alamak..really ah? Aiyoo... salah lagi..Then how ah? Can i change a new one tmrow evening?"
"It's ok, i have an HSBC account too. why dont u just transfer to me. you can keep the transaction receipt as a proof lah."
"Hmm..oklah. but i still hv to go to the bank tmrow to cancel the bank draft. otherwise, my account will be empty bu now."
"It's ok, i can wait until tmrow."

So tmrow morning, ambik MC lah jawabnya! Ajak Amet sekali MC hahahha. pagi2 gi lagi HSBC OU tuh. pak guard tu pun dh kenal muka aku. cancelkan BD, transfer duit kt org tu.ok it's done. then received sms from org tu she had received the money in her account. Phew...lega sgt2. Alhamdulillah...setel satu hal. Terus gi makan2 kt food court. then balik umah, aku tiiidooooqqqqq dr kui 3.00 sampai kui 6.30 ptg. ambik anak2 gi minum mamak.what a wonderfull day (cause i learned lots of things).

KELANTAN NEGERI MAKANAN

There are lots of story to tell but seems like i'm always packed with a looonggg qeue of duties to be finished up. even when i'm typing this i still have 2 baskets of clothes that i should lipat and susun dalam almari, another one basket of dirty clothes to be cleaned (eventho i do hv a washing machine, but i still have to sidai it manually huh), and very thankful that nowadays Amet send his working shirts to laundry shop for ironing, heh!

Life is geting hectic (and headache) this few days - with kerja ofis yg bertambun-timbun, with Zubaidah yg got flu so not sleeping sounndly at night as she used to do, with Zulaikha yg dah langsung tak pandai nak tido awal (the earliest is 2.00 am okeh), and with few other things that i hv to think about (read : future planning and so).

oh ya, actually this entry supposed to be the story of our trip to Kelantan on last 13 March. we were attending Amet's friend wedding as well as jalan-jalan cari makan.

unfortunately, we didn't managed to get Nasi Kerabu on the first day, but just had Nasi Goreng Ayam (as usually found in KL) instead. felt so merugikan duit membeli makanan yang not traditionally Kelantan as our main intention is memang to go for makan Nasi Kerabu everyday, plus other dishes that jarang-jarag ditemui di KL like Nasi Ayer, sate perut percik, and the 'pretty ugly' kuihs.

it was only on the second day that Epe (Amet's friend in KB) suggest us to go to Yati Ayam Percik, a restaurant which serve variety of Nasi kerabu (ada putih, biru & kuning) and all the lauk pauk percik.

And so lucky at that time the Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu held a Pesta Makanan Kelantan (seems like they memang prepare it for me, so honoured, heh). So we bolot all the food yg mmg telah diidam-idamkan. Zulaikha had fall in love with Cik Mek Molek and Pulut i-dont-know-what-the-name-is, while i bought 'Miang Kam' - a Thai traditional snack, which to eat this you have to fold a daun kadok containing baked coconut,dried shrimps, baked peanuts, small piece of lime, bird chillies and a special sauce made of palm sugar.Kak Ngah tried the Nasik Ayer and Amet tak berani to try others but stick to just Nasi Kerabu (again and again).

The last day we had breakfast at Epe's house. His mother served us Nasi Dagang. i was not a Nasi Dagang person bcoz i dont really fancy curry lemak, but this time i found it very very very delicious that i eat every single rice in the plate, heh heh. The curry was not so lemak, and a bit spicy which just nice to suit my taste.(Nyum...meleleh air liur masa taip nih).

And maybe sebab kesiankan kami yang x sempat makan banyak2 nasik kerabu for all 3 days kat sana, Epe's mother had kindly prepare Nasi Kerabu tapau for us. sik isk amatlah terharu...Mekacih ye makcik..kalau nak datang KL jgn lupa bawak lagi...

From Epe's house kami terus balik ikut Jalan Pantai and singgah for a while at Pasar Payang to buy batiks and keropok losong. but all the way it's raining very heavily so we didnt berkesempatan to drop by the beautiful beaches to mandi manda (berat jeh bawak baju mandi,huh).

I really enjoyed the trip eventho penat a bit with Zulaikha & Zubaidah's punya pe'el.

(Oh ya, sempat jugak gi my old skool and berpossing kt situ, keh keh keh).

Restaurant Review : Mango Chili (Kinrara) & Mohsin (TTDI)

Disebabkan kekalutan dengan dua anak2 kecik ini, maka ibu telah memutuskan untuk tidak memasak apa2. Sebab? Kalau masak sendiri kat umah, pastu nak kena lap dapur, cuci periuk, basuh pingan cawan, lap meja makan dan lain2 yg sesungguhnya amat tak sempat sekali untuk dibuat dengan properly.

So ask Amet try makan kat Mango Chili @ Giant Bandar Kinrara sbb dia dok cerita yg Somtam kat situ best. Sampai situ at about 3 pm dh jd mcm minum petang plak. Makan nasik ayam percik and it's already served with Mango salad, so x jd nk order somtam takut x habis plak. The food is nice, cuma sambal dia tu x cukup pedas untuk aku.

Pas makan bawak Zulaikha main2 kt tempat mainan tu jap. Then balik singgah IOI Mall, dia main lagi Merry Go Round.Belikan dia happy meal sbb dr td xnak mkn apa2 sbb sibuk nk berjalan2. Dah habis comot dgn Milo tumpah kat baju semer, kami pun balik...

Singgah jap cari food for dinner kat Mohsin @TTDI. Beli Mumtaz Naan + Tandoori. This naan is highly recommended to all of you. Served with layers of cheese, mayonaise, tomato and salsa...hmmm - Mesti try!!!

LET THE PICTURES TALK

Restaurant Review : NOODLE STATION

Zulaikha : Nugget & Fries (Kid's Meal)
Comment : Tak makan pun. gigit nuget sikit ja. Pastu dia sibuk dgn lollipopnya dan berjalan mengacau pekerja2 kat restoran tu

Yue : Wantan Noodle With Chicken Leg Mushroom
Comment : Very very delicious. Superb...for wantan noodle fan, mesti try nih. meleleh-leleh makan nih..Come with wantan soup. Tambah dgn cili jeruk and sambal.perghhh...anak nangis pun x hingat dah...

Overall rating : empat bintang

RESTAURANT REVIEW : WENDY'S

Last few nights (if not mistaken, Friday), we had a quickie dinner at Wendy's (sbb cik abg aku balik keja lambat sampai umah dh dkt pukui 9). Wendy's is not new in fast food business, they hv established well in few other countries, but maybe quite new for Malaysian.

we choose to to the nearest Wendy's at Giant Kota Damansara. The restaurant is just a typical fast food style. There were ample of places to sit (maybe it's not getting very popular compared to Ramly Burger heh!) And i think this outlet doesnt have enough workers. there were few dirty unoccupied tables waiting to be cleared. And our burgers came a bit late - not sure if they tried to protect the burgers' quality (preparation prior order only), or they dont have enough workers.
Amet had "Half pound double with cheese" small combo meal - come with fries and small soft drink. the patties look quite miserable - macam kepal-kepal dgn tangan jek. but taste nice and juicy. however, i feel that the spices are not enough to cover the raw meat-smell (hey, i am one of the sensory panel in Ramly okeh).

and for me, i tried the "Ultimate Chicken Grill" - a piece of full chicken breast, grilled and served with mustard and veggie. very simple and not spicy (maybe more suitable for Zulaikha). And i choose the Twisted Frosty, which finally dihabiskan oleh Zulaikha jek.

For me, there's nothing much extra special compared to other fastfood chain currently available in Malaysia. Maybe the menu can show a bit different, yet the price is slighthly more compared to McD, KFC and Burger King.

P/S : I always wonder when KFC Waikiki brger will make a comeback. this is the most lovely brger i ever had since (can feel the pineaple creammelting in my mouth now)

RELAXING

Balik keja ptg semalam, terus singgah kedai beli serbuk jelly nk buat dessert sket sbb dh lama x buat makan sendiri puas2. klu mkn kt kedai bleh rasa sket jek.lagipun kat umah ada bertin-tin fruit coktail hadiah from supplier.so sampai umah terus masak before ambik Zubaidah. kejap je buat puding ni, dlm 15 min siap dah.pastu biar sejuk dlm freezer,tgh malam nanti bleh la makan. Yummyy....

Pastu bangun pagi ni bawak sikit untuk staf2.kesian kat diorang keja penat2 kena la appreciate (bos yg baik kan aku nih).


Petang nih xtau nk buat apa.rest je lah kt umah.kemas2 umah skit (sawang kt dinding tu dh tebal makcik oi..).Amet g Lowyat beli brg komputer. Zulaikha ikut Mak Yan gi jalan2 umah sdara dia. just tinggal aku ngan Zubaidah jek. Oh by the way, Zubaidah dh bleh meniarap. Tu dia tengah tertonggeng sorang2 while ibu sdg berinternet ria...xoxoxo...

For lunch, i already have 2 pieces of pizza tapau back from office (ada jamuan tadi). So satgi bleh la golek2 dgn Zubaidah (bukan senang ooo nak bleh santai mcm ni...).

Hmm...maybe bleh buat home facial sikit kot sambil baring2 (sementara si monster kecik tu belum balik).

BONGKAK

Entri ini bukan untuk mengutuk sesiapa. tetapi sebagai peringatan bagi yang lali, termasuk aku sendiri.
Aku berdepan dengan 2 watak ini setiap hari. Mereka mempunyai persamaan - sedikit bongkak / membangga diri / bercakap besar / takabbur.

Watak A
Setiap masa berjumpa dengan dia, tak habis-habis bercerita tentang kehebatan anak2nya dan kebahagiaan keluarganya. Semuanya lengkap, anaknya bijak dan sebagainya. Dia juga bangga dengan kesuburannya dan ketererannya merancang keluarga tanpa menggunakan ubat-ubatan / peralatan. Satu hari dia maklumkan dia mengandung lagi. Saban hari dia bercerita perancangannya untuk buat baju mengandung fesyen itu dan ini, persediaannya membeli kelengkapan bayi yg bermacam-macam. walhal kandungannnya belum pun mencecah 3 bulan. setiap kali dia bercerita orang akan diam - tanda malas melayan. hari ini dikhabarkan dia keguguran. aku tidak mahu membuat apa-apa kesimpulan, tetapi cukuplah sekadar mengucapkan takziah.

Watak B
Dia baru sahaja join our company. and he was from quite a well-known-food-company. and he was a chef. and he keep telling me everyday all the fortune he has - he bought 2 houses and is planning to buy another one. he got 2 cars, he got resthouses in Port Dickson, Langkawi, this and that island and here and there. And he knows to do this and that. and he knows great people, the datuks and tan sris and befriend with the royal families and all. (please dont throw up reading this ok - i have been facing this every second every day and still steady). and oh ya, the latest one he told me this morning that he always chit chat with the MK Land owner (oh yeaa?? then why you still live in a cheap apartment instead of 3-storey-bungalow?)

then last week they said his was stolen - a Proton Waja. and today, his Kelisa pulak has been stolen. and i heard that his wife got VSS due to the everywhere-retrench-situation now. well, i hope his kaya-raya and millionaire-friends will give him a free car and a big position for his jobless wife.

that's all - just a two story stories to share. you make your own conclusion.

Hijaunya bumi Tuhan

Semalam, terpaksa panggil sorang staf aku yang buat perangai. Kesalahan dia ialah bercinta di tempat kerja. memang bercinta itu tidak salah. tapi menjadi salah apabila mengganggu kerja, dan bila yg dicintai itu suami orang. Ok, ayat senangnya mcm nih, staf aku bercinta dgn seorang line leader yang telah berkahwin dan isterinya sdg mengandung anak sulung. Amat kesian kat isteri dia kan?

aku takmau blame sapa2. kalau bertepuk sebelah tangan tak akan berbunyi kan?
apa pun yg depa buat, aku hanya kasihankan isteri dia. awatla orang lelaki nih ghapla sangat? tuh baru bini tengah ngandung, dok ada depan mata, buleh main lagi. nanti bila tiba masa dia dok dalam pantang, dah balik kampung, kena puasa main plak sampai at least 60 hari, mcmana la agaknya si suami tu? tambahan lagi zaman sekarang nih banyak sangat alat komunikasi. senang2 ja bulehh dapat pompuan for one night stay.or even everynight stay. klu takut nak telfon, buleh sms. takut nk sms, buleh chating.

tak dinafikan, laki yg depan bini punyalah sopan, penyayang, tp bila bini dh berpantang, perrghh...gatai tak hingat. ada yg suruh officemate temankan minum, ada yg suruh pompuan lain tolong tidurkan dia, ada yg mintak diperkenalkan dgn kawan pompuan yg selama nih tak pernah bertegur sapa, ada yg sampai berangan nak .....isk isk...wallahualam lah. dosa sendiri tanggung aaa...

mmg tak dinafikan, pompuan pun zaman sekarang nih mmg ramai yang gaghik (sori, i have to frankly speaking here). ada pompuan yg suka kacau laki org, walaupun dia mmg dah tau org tu dah beranak pinak, tetap jugak nak kacau. ada yang menggedik2, sembang lucah, terdesak..macam2 pompuan (better call 'betina' rite?) lah yg ada. yg mmg tak ada rasa malu (kemaluan?). isk taktaulah nk cakap.dunia sekarang. Nobody can be trusted.

Penutupnya, staf aku telah diberi surat gantung kerja, manakala pasangannya telah diberhentikan kerana telah telah menimbulkan kekacuan apabila isterinya datang menyerang kilang.

Sepatutnya cinta membuahkan keharmonian, kasih saying, kedamaian. Tapi cinta hari ini lebih banyak menimbulkan kacau bilau, pergaduhan dan kerosakan.
Semoga cinta Yue, Amet, Zuzu dan Yaya sentiasa berbunga-bunga setiap saat dan ketika, malah sampai ke syurga. (Ya Allah, jauhkan kami dari sebarang gangguan sama ada syaitan mahupun manusia yang berniat jahat.Amiinnn…)

BENCI GILA!!!

I really hate that when somebody trying to tell stories about how they know how to cook this and that. Macam dia sajalah yang tau sangat memasak semua2 benda and like no others can cook like him/her. Tambah2 lagi bila dia pernah keja kat dapur hotel or dapur big restaurant. Asyiklah siang malam nk cerita tentang kepandaiannya yg hanya konon2 itu. Perlukah aku pun jadi bodoh, tumpang sama kepoh pasal kepandaian aku memasak itu ini? Arrggghhhh.....aku tak suka! Tak suka! Tak suka lahhh!!!! Terbakar la telinga aku dengaq orang cerita benda berlagak sombong mcm nih.

Aku pun tau buat pizza sendiri tp aku prefer mkn kat pizza hut sbb aku ada dua baby girl yang akan ‘membantu’ aku nanti.

Aku pun tokey kek, so x payah lah nak cerita yg hang tu pandai sangat buat cake and cookies. Aku bleh buat lebih cantik dari hang lah bodoh!

Oi, bleh hang blah pi cerita kat org lain dak? Not me okeh? Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!

FEDERAL DAY

Bestnya hari nih sebab just kami-kami yg keja kat KL je yang cuti. Orang kat Selangor tu jgn jeles okeh. Hahaha..so mmg aku dgn Amet dah plan nak jalan-jalan hari nih. Tapi nak jalan berdua-duaan je, takmau bawak anak-anak (ibu yg kejam).

So pagi-pagi buta dah gi tinggalkan diorang kat babysitters, pastu dalam 9.30 pg dah mula gerak. Memula sekali plan nak pi Pertama nak format henfon cabuk Amet yg hidup segan mati takmau tu. Sekali dah sampai setengah jalan, baru dia teringat dia terlupa bawak henfon tu. (Selingan : nickname baru Amet ialah Tongga Buncit – aku yg bagi).

So teruslah pi Sogo, Best giler sbb x ramai orang, tapi banyak Sale. So senang jeh nak belek2, pilih2 lama2 sikit. Memang dah niat dari bulan lepas lagi nak beli jeans. Tapi dh try mcm2 jenis, still x dapat yg betul2 tangkap muat. Ingat nak beli Levi’s tp x bleh, kena boikot produk2 Yahudi nih (read : sebenaqnya tak ada duit daa..). So last sekali beli la jeans Nicole yg after sale tinggal RM30 jeh. Then rembat sehelai T-shirt merah sbb dah lama sangat x beli T-shirt.

Plan asal actually nak borong baju-baju keja sbb company aku x kasik pakai baju singkat2, mesti baju yg tutup punggung (maybe sbb punggung ibu beranak dua nih solid sgt kot). Tapi agak susah nak cari baju labuh2 nih. Nak pakai baju kurung tak sesuai la pulak sbb aku keja dalam lab & production. So lastly Amet suggest cari baju2 brand Scarlet jeh kat Jusco.

Blah la plakk pi MidValley. Sampai sana, sama la jugak, yang banyak baju kemeja yg atas2 punggung ja. Tp jumpa gak la sehelai baju yg ala-ala artist tp labuh. So after try posing depan cermin tu, nampak cam kelas jek, oklah. Then gi round2 lagi, tp mcm x round byk sgt sbb sakit lutut (sbb masa pantang hari tuh aku malas pakai stoking – inilah akibatnya x dengar cakap org tua2). Pastu jumpa sehelai T-shirt kaler purple utk Amet, then terus pi makan kat foodcourt Jusco tuh. Perghh…dari jauh bau Asam laksa dia tu amatlah mengiurkan. Tp malangnya aku masih kena pantang makan laksa lagi (kalau ikut cakap tok, dia suruh pantang sampai setahun. Tp mak aku kata lepas 100 hari bleh la rasa sikit2). Huhuhuhu…meleleh- leleh air liur ambbik bau je lah…

Pas makan teruslah blah. Masa masuk dalam keta tuh aku cakap kat Amet “Kita ni dah makin tua kan, jalan-jalan pun dah rasa penat, rasa lenguh semua.”

Disebabkan lenguh2 itu, aku pun offer Amet nak belanja dia gi massage (bukan aku yg massage daa..). So singgah jap kat Zen Reflexology kat Uptown for full body massage. Disebabkan kami sampai before 3 pm, dapat la promotion price for 2 pax. Jimat duit aku…Lepas massage barulah rasa ringan sikit badan nih.Lega…Pastu terus lah balik umah and take a short nap before ambik anak2….Huhuhu how I wish everyday is a Federal Day.

A NIGHT THOUGHT

It’s been a while since I managed to update this blog, not that I can’t be online..it’s just that the time has been occupied with something else (read : my two active girls).

I realized that when you are a working mom, the time you have for yourselves is really precious. You have to juggle between the feeding, the sleeping and the waking up time that your child schedules for you. Whatever that need to be done must be done within that time space. If you miss it, you lose it. Whether you want to take your shower, or going to toilet, or even have your meal, all must be done quickly.

And doing the ironing in the middle of night, washing the dishes during the wee hour is just become normal. All must be done only after they have doze off.

Now I understand why people pray for good health. I really wouldn’t want to fall sick, be it fever or flu, Nauzubillah if it’s something more serious. Not solely being selfish in wanting to be healthy, it’s more to taking care of the baby - who will feed, change, bathe them if I don’t have the energy to run the household. I can’t afford to sleep like I used to do during my single time - what if they are hungry, and I don’t hear them cry while I am sleeping soundly.

When you’re a mom, you put your child first and foremost in the priority list. However, between the tensions and stresses, I still feel great, lucky and proud to be a mom.

HARI CUCUK ANAK

Today both me & amet ambik cuti nak bawak anak-anak pi check-up. Sampai kat poliklinik Kelana Jaya dlm kui 8.30 pg, tunggu punya la lama sampai perut pun hampir kena gastrik, barulah dapat masuk. Timbang berat badan - si Zulaikha 10.6 kg, si Zubaidah 4.6 kg. Lepas nurse tu check-check danberleter lebih kurang, tibalah masa utk kena jab. Hahaha...si Zulaikha yg kena dulu sebab ibu & Zubaidah still dlm bilik pemeriksaan nak sembang2 pasal family planning dgn nurse tu. Ingat nak pakai Implanon plak lah kali ni. Aku mmg jenis kurang berdisiplin sikit klu nak makan ubat-ubat pil tiap2 hari nih. Kang terbabas lagi...beranak plak tahun depan. bila nak bleh makan laksa asyik kena pantang jek. Hahahaa...Setelah diinject dan menangis lebih kurang, kami pun balik lah umah...

Since anak-anak dua-dua tidoq, kami pun bersetuju to send them to their babysitters. So that we can go dating...! Yabeda bedooo...!!! (Mmg dah plan pun..hahahah)

Sampai kat OU dlm kui 1.45 pm, gi beli tiket dulu nak tgok wayang citer MAUT gitu..dapat tket kui 3.15, so decided to go karaoke murahan kat dalam kotak kecik tu. Balun la sorang dua lagu - Amet pilih Mata,Hati, Jiwa (Awie) dan lagu apatah (Broery Marantika). Aku biasalah...rocker sepanjang zaman memilih lagu Memburu Bayang (Kristal) dan Sakinah (XPDC). Hahahaha...gila betoi melalak dua laki bini syok sendiri nih. Pastu pi jalan2 sat survey sport shoes sbb susah dah nak jalan2 pakai kasut tinggi dengan anak dua nih. tak sesuai, asyik tercabut ja. kena pakai sport shoes sbb nak lari kejar2 zulaikha yg suka membuas di mana-mana tuh (kukuh kan alasan nih..)
So lastly jumpa la kasut yg berkenan di hati nih. Sesuai & nampak comel sekali mcm tuan dia kan??? Hahaha..tapi belum bleh bawak balik umah lagi sbb tokey kedai tu kata "No Money, No Talk" Hahahaha...



Pastu pi lah tgok citer Maut yg amat tak best gile tuh. Amatlah rugi sekali duit ku duit Amet kerana menonton cerita ini. Lain kali mmg betoi2 xmau dah tengok citer melayu. Iklan ja lebih, citer amatlah hampeh.

Then balik singgah Tesco beli barang2 sbb malam nih invite few friends mai makan2. Nak masak Laksa Johor versi Perlis nih. Hahaha...

SUPERBMOM

I just came back from kampong last 3 days. And everyday mengemas rumah yang telah hamper 2 bulan ditinggalkan (imagine how thick the dust on the windows and fans). Since I don’t have maid anymore, I sent Zulaikha to Kak Yan’s house and only Zubaidah stay with me so that I could manage to do the all-alone-gotong royong and cook for lunch and dinner.

I will start working next week so had another 3 days to arrange everything : the kids’ clothes, the rooms, their toys, the kitchen and my own duty roaster. I had planned in mind that I should wake up at 6.00 am everyday so I could get the things well prepared and ready when I come back from work in the evening. But I don’t know…waking up early in the morning is just happened during my school time few years ago.

6.00 Wake up - Bath
6.15 Subuh prayer
6.30 Prepare things to cook dinner (siang ikan & sayur siap2 so balik just
masuk periuk)
7.15 Breakfast
7.30 Breastfeed Zubaidah
7.50 Send kids to babysitters
8.00 Go to work

I will be a Superbmom. I will be able to do everything. I will be able to manage 2 kids and cooking and washing and eating and watching TV without a maid. I know I can do it. Kick your ass la!!! (opss I shouldn’t say this in front of the talkative Zulaikha..)

The source of my permanent headache has been removed. I mean, i had kicked out my stupid maid out of this house. I am sorry, but i wont be able to stand her stupidity and laziness. So please go before aku dera hang like Nirmala Bonat. I dont want my beautiful face to be printed in the front page of national newspapers and being interviewed in Buletin Utama "Kenapa puan mendera orang gaji puan?".

The answer is :
1. Dia amat suka menjawap dgn jawapan2 yg x munasabah
2. Dia pemalas, buat kerja ala kadar. Cuci botol susu anak aku pun x bersih.
3. Bila aku suruh buang sampah dan jemur tong sampah, dia cuma ambik sampah dan letak kat dalam plastik.
4. Bila aku suruh cuci kipas, dia cuma ambik penyapu dan menguis sikit2 habuk kat kipas tu.
5. Sampai 14 kali aku ajar dia mandi baby, tapi still tak ingat2 lagi.
6. Dia suka melalak dgn KUAT gila (nyanyi lagu Jom Heboh versi Indon) masa bagi Zulaikha mandi - malu oo dekat jiran2.
7. Dia masih tak pandai2 bg Zubaidah minum susu - dia bleh ambik botol susu dan terus suap kat mulut baby kat atas tilam. Kena riba dululah ngog...
8. Dia suka cakap aku nih garang, asyik nak marah dia. Dia terasa hati dgn aku. (Hahaha..mmglah aku kan Boss. Padan muka hang!)
9. Suatu hari dia mengejutkan aku dari tidur, semata-mata nak suruh aku minum. Adakah kau masih bleh bersabar??? Aku tak bagi penampaq dah kira cukup baik dah......
10. Ni yang paling aku pantang - suka sangat main2 golek2 kat bilik tidoq aku. ISk budak nih kang...Isk...x bleh aku haih!!!

Disebabkan sebab2 itu dan berpuluh2 lagi kejadian yang membuatkan aku betul2 naik hangin, aku telah memecat Tuti bengong itu. Hang bleh blah la oiii!!!!

5S = Seiri, Seiton, Seise,Seiketsu, Shitsuke SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!
5M = MY MAID MAKES ME MAD

Saya telah 38 hari berada dalam pantang. Ini bermakna saya telah 34 hari mempunyai seorang maid. Sepanjang tempoh itu jugalah saya sentiasa dalam keadaan gelisah, gundah gulana, tidak tenang, da pening kepala.

Maid saya itu namanya Tuti, usia sekitar 34 tahun. Sebelum ini dia pernah bekerja dengan ibu mertua bagi menjaga nenek yg sudah tua dan tidak sihat. Saya ada juga bersembang2 dengan dia 2 tahun yg lalu, semasa dia bekerja dengan mak, tetapi tidak terlalu kisah dengan perangainya kerana kami berjumpa pun sekali sekala bila saya pulang ke kampung.
Setahun selepas dia pulang ke Medan, dia menghubungi mak semula bertana jika ada kerja untuknya. Saya yg kebetulan sedang mencari maid pada masa itu terus bersetuju untuk menggajikan dia kerana pada firasat saya senanglah sbb kami sudah mengenalinya. Rupa-rupanya semua sangkaan saya meleset sama sekali...

Saya mengambilnya bagi tujuan megasuh anak-anak saya yg masih kecil. Memandangkan dia juga sudah beranak dua, saya kira urusan kanak-kanak tidak menjadi masalah baginya. Hari pertama dia tiba, dia hanya melakukan kerja-kerja rumah-membasuh, menyapu, melipat kain etc. Lebih kurang 2 minggu kemudian, dia mula menjaga Zulaikha. Sejak itu, sakit kepala saya bermula. Dia tidak pandai memandikan Zulaikha yg sudah sebesar itu - dia menjirus air yg amat banyak ke kepala anak saya sehingga saya lihat anak saya hampir kelemasan, tidak sempat benafas, lalu saya tegur dan mengajarnya.

Saya memintanya sediakan susu untuk Zulaikha.Tiba-tiba anak saya menangis tatkala susu itu masuk ke mulutnya. Saya ambil botol itu, Masya Allah...panasnya umpama kopi yg saya minum.Akibatnya lidah anak saya melecur. Susu yg dibancuh juga amat pekat lalu saya tanya bagaimana cara dia membancuh susu. Rupanya dia memasukkan susu dahulu ke dlm botol, kemudia baru diisi air. Saya tanya lagi, kalau air itu panas, bagaimana henda dibetulkan kerana telah dicampur susu? Dia blur. Lalu saya mengajarnya membancuh susu dan menguji kepanasan air.

Beberapa hari kemudian saya lihat dia menjamu anak saya makan nasi hanya dengan kuah gulai lemak. Saya amat terkejut kerana menyangka selama ini Zulaikha diberikan sayuran dan sedikit lauk, lalu dia ditegur lagi. Beberapa hari kemudian, saya membawanya ke jamuan keluarga di rumah tok. Kebetulan dia menyuap Zulaikha makan di hadapan saya dan saudara mara yang lain. Masa itu saya lihat Zulaikha tidak menelan makanan di dalam mulut dan seolah-olah mengulum sesuatu. Lalu mak meminta saya korek mulutnya, maka keluarlah seketul tulang lembu sebesar hujung jari. keesokannya saya mula memperketatkan pemantauan pemakanan anak saya itu. Saya dapati dia juga tidak mengasingkan tulang ikan dengan teliti dari nasi Zulaikha. Saya semakin runsing.

Itu baru menguruskan Zuaikha, dia belum lagi membiasakan diri dengan Zubaidah.Setelah umur Zubaidah hampir sebulan saya minta dia sediakan air untuk mandi. Nasib baik saya tidak minta dia mandikan terus, kalau tidak pastinya kulit anak saya melecur lagi. Air mandian itu panas yang amat. Lalu saya mandikan sendiri. Tapi malangnya, dia langsug tiada inisiatif untuk memerhati cara saya memandikan bayi, bagaimana menyediakan keperluan bayi sebelum mandi, bagaimana memakaikan barut, lampin dan menyapu minyak telon ke badan bayi. Sehinggalah saya cuba mengujinya pada minggu lepas - saya minta dia sediakan semua keperluan Zubaidah dan mandian dia. Langsung dia tidak tahu sehinggalah saya terpaksa berleter panjang dan menunjukkan padanya satu persatu. Apa yg saya geram sudah lebih sebulan berada di sini, dia langsung tidak berminat untuk bertanya dan belajar cara-cara menjaga bayi yg masih kecil dan lembut itu.

Dia hanya mengutamakan kerja-kerja rumah. Semua itu saya tidak peduli. Saya boleh melakukan sendiri.Saya mengambilnya untuk menjaga anak-anak semasa saya bekerja. Itu tugas utamanya. Kalau ada masa bolehlah dia membuat urusan lain. Semakin hampir tamatnya cuti bersalin, saya semakin risau. Bolehkah anak-anak saya ini dijaga dengan sempurna? Dan saya hairan, dia juga seorang ibu tapi langsung tidak tahu menguruskan anak-anak.

Saya saban hari berdoa, agar dia diberikan kemahiran menjaga anak-anak. saya cuma mahu anak-anak saya dijaga dengan selamat, rapi dan sihat. sebenarnya saya bukanlah seorang yg suka mengongkong anak-anak. saya suka melepaskan mereka meneroka dunia dan belajar sesuatu yg baru.Saya biasanya membiarkan sahaja Zulaikha memanjat di sana sini, tetapi tentulah mata saya sentiasa mengawasinya. Tetapi sejak ada Tuti, anak saya itu sentiasa dikendong ke hulu ke hilir menjadikannya sedikit manja dan kurang berdikari. Itu pun saya terpaksa tegur. Biarlah yg boleh berjalan itu berjalan dan berlari asalkan tidak ke tempat yang merbahaya.

Kadangkala timbul rasa geram yang teramat sangat sehingga terfikir mahu menjualkan saja Tuti kepada orang lain. Saya yang asalnya seorang yg baik hati, lemah lembut kini bertukar menjadi sebaliknya. Walau tidak boleh bersolat, saya sentiasa memohon kepada Allah agar saya dijauhkan dari meroyan. Kata orang tua-tua, wanita dalam berpantang mesti sentiasa tenang, gembira dan damai hatinya. Saya pula setiap hari bernafsu amarah dan penuh dengan kegelisahan dan kebencian. Senyuman saya yang dulu manis memikat, kini hanya tinggal senyum kelat umpama kopi tidak bergula. Wajah saya terpaksa dilakonkan seolah-olah sentiasa ceria kerana saya berpantang di rumah mertua (buat muka masam kang kena halau pulak). Sedangkan dalam hati saya mengalir air mata dan menyinga.

Kalaulah saya boleh berhenti kerja dan menjaga anak-anak sendiri di depan mata.....alangkah indahnya mimpi saya....

WEDDING @ CONCORDE, SHAH ALAM


Just came back from Imran & Lina's wedding at Shah Alam. had a great time with Amet's Gang' wives. the bride is Amet's schoolmate and the wedding supposed to be his Gang (they got name konon - ExKi'98) gathering.
but then looks like it iturned to be the "Persatuan Isteri-isteri ExKi gathering" la pulak kan. the girls, i mean the ladies (almost all are mothers of one) had a great chit chatting session sampai husband masing2 ajak balik.hohoho....
the majlis was just nice, cuma bunga telur tu sikit sgt la...hehehe...
*** I found out that i am more friendly, amiable and socialable now, huh.

A DAY OUT

Amet and me take leave today to spend our time together. takut2 this weekend ada org datang umah lagi sbb it has been 3 weekends berturut-turut we spent weekend with others. me not to complaint but just sometime we need to spend time with our life partner to sembang2 the family plan,financial, and so-called "family secrets".

However, we spent half of the day lying bermalas-malasan on the bed, and watching movie Ayat-Ayat Cinta on the DVD which i bought few days ago (mind you that we sent Zuzu to babysitter early morning so it just both of us in the house....lalalala....:)
After Zohor prayer, we went out to OU and taadaa...there's a FREE PARKING ON WEDNESDAY signage at the parking booth. Yaahooo....we just be on the right day!
Before start jalan-jalan, Amet already feel hungry (now he eats and feel hungry more than me). so we stop at the Jusco's Food Bazaar to buy some popiah, kuih kacang, samosa and a piece of cheesecake to enjoy at the opposite Starbucks. As usual i chose my Caramel Machiato and Amet tried the new Frapuccino Dark Mocha. He ordered Venti size, however they sent the Grande. The barista realized himself its a fault and send one more, bigger for Amet. Hahaha...sambil budak tu dgn selamber je cakap "Belasah je la abang...". Giler btoi..mana la bleh habih two big cups ice blended. Rasa mcm nk derma jeh kat org yg lalu lalang tp sure takdek sapa yg berani makan pemberian strangers kan?

So with the remaining drinks we continue our jalan-jalan in the mall. Amet drop by the Levi's Store as they show the 60% sale everywhere. But nothing berkenan di hati (tell you, Levi's kat OU ni mcm tak byk choice and buruk2 jek barang dia).

Then went to the new wing, masuk LaSenza jap. tot want to buy a piece of cotton pyjamas tp mcm tak best gak. so terus g Padini Concept Store. banyak brg on sale tp semua baju mcm erkk...pastu gi je la teropong2 kat Mom's Care. nampak la sepasang rompers mcm sesuai jek for Zuzu. agak murah jugak after discount tp cari2 size plak la takdak, so cancel x jadi beli.

then g intai2 stroller kat Toy City, ada discount ciput jek, mahal giler. takpalah bleh hold dulu sbb stroller lama pun ok lg cuma bila Zuzu sudah agak mengganas nih ingat have to change to a heavy duty buggy and the old one bleh simpan.

Dah habis sumua kedai2 dilawati, gi jugakla ke Jusco kang tokei dia kecik hati plak kan. Belek2 kasut, mcm dh OK. but Amet telah terlalu friendly asking the salesgirl when the SuperMega Sale will be, and she said its on 25th, so cancelkan la kasut yg aku dah pegang tu. Tunggu ye cik kasut, nanti lagi 10 hari saya datang bawak awak balik ye...

Disebabkan setengaharian berjalan tapi masih tidak membeli apa2, Amet memaksa memperlawa untuk membelikan blaus. Ohhh...sungguh manis...(how sweet). So aku pun dgn sedikit malu2 kucing choose la these two blouses (dua la plak tu..). Bukan apa nanti dia cakap aku tak hargai perlawaan dia plak kan...hohohoho...


Errr....??? M.A.T.E.R.N.I.T.Y. blouses??? Is it..???

Then balik ambik Zuzu. Tapi kan..ada org tu..still tak puas hati tak dapat barang untuk dia. So bawakla plak si Zuzu nih gi The Curve. kat situ kan also got Levis' Store. So dihentamnya beli sepasang jeans dan T-shirt untuk dia...Tp ok la, the price is very very fair la. Levi's ni kan jenis yg jarang2 sale, eventho kedai2 lain sebelah dia semua sale 70 - 80% pun, dia bleh buat dono, keras kepala jek. tp sekali dia dh sale ni haa....
Pastu kan, masa dok try2 jeans tu kan, ada la org nih perut dia dah buncit (bukan aku okeh). so size mcm tak berapa nak ada la kan. so dia pun paksa jugak amoi salesgirl tu carikan jugak sampai dapat yg tangkap muat ngan dia. apa daa...so aku cakap kat dia pasnih beli jeans ketat2, pastu cntrol mkn and excercise sampai dapat masuk dlm seluaq tu.
*** So sapa ckp pompuan gemok lepas kawen?


Inilah dia barang budak buncit tuh...

Pastu jalan sikit2 lagi (eh tak habis lg?), masuk MNG, tengok2 jeh, sbb baju dia semua untuk yg slim world jeh.tp harganya mmg mengiurkan sbb sale 50 - 70%. ada yg tnggal RM19 jek. tp xpalah next time plakla. so balik umah...(tu pun mengenangkan budak Zuzu tu x bawak stroller). sampai umah dh malas masak, makan maggi je la 3 beranak...

DINNER WITH AMET (No candle)

Tomorrow will be my birthday. but our plans are cancelled due to my PIL suddenly come to KL without any prompts. So Amet took me out, just two of us, to have a konon-konon romantic dinner as somekind of celebration payback.
We dont really have a plan where are we heading. and just decide when we are already halfway out - to Johny's Restaurant at One Utama.
I enjoyed the steamboat at Johny's very much. it is hundreds time better than the Ketam Village Steamboat at Ikano. and i even ask the waiter if i can tapau back the sauce - and he just laugh as he tot i make a very lawak bodoh (i am, isnt it?)
As we both didnt dress very nice (i was in my baju-batik-sepuluh-ringgit bought at Langkawi few years back, and Amet was in a white T-shirt buruk), we realized there are few pair of eyes jeling2 to us and gigling like they are dressing so nicely (padahal pakai baju tak cukup kain jek).
We didnt really mind that as long as we feel comfortable and our focus is just on the food...nyum nyum....
Memandangkan perut sudah penuh, we tried to kempiskan a bit by going window shoping at Jusco. Since its aready almost 10 o'clock, we just had a quick one and planned to come back next time (for my gift, of course!)
On the way back, sempat singgah at Uptown Damansara to tapau Satay Kajang Hj. Samuri and i had my Caramel Machiato since the shop is just on the same block.
Thanks Amet...for the nice food & dinnersss...............I LOVE FOOD YOU!

The yummy steamboat....


The birthday girl to-be....

The tension-reliever....

TENSION = MAKAN

I dont know why but today i feel a bit lot of tension. Actually i start my day with the feeling of full happiness. i rise up early, had Subuh prayer, then send Zuzu early and had breakfast date with Amet at gerai nasik lemak depan Tesco. and reached office early. Then we had a Halal meeting where i start to feel tension because there're people whose talking at back, didnt pay attention, laughing at the serious matters, and also one person who just want to object every oppinion and points. then my staff also keep mentioning bout their problem with the production again and again like it would never reach an end.

Then after lunch, one of HR clerk asked me if i can get a copy my MC (for the month of June) which she had lost it - she's so miserable, untidy person that i really dont like because she always lose every documents i passed to her. i felt so angry if i cant give her a copy of that MC, they will record it as 'Absent' or ponteng, which will create a bad image during my assessment later (which equals to deducton in bonus too, off course). I felt like i want to scream loudly to her. Luckily, my boss came and i explained everything to him so that he will understand that its not my fault (rasa mcm budak2 darjah satu bergaduh). I think he understnd and just berpesan to me to be careful next time (pass to other clerk, not her).

Then he ask me if i would like to go to MIFB'08 this afternoon, so he will sign my punch card as permission to let me go out of office. That makes me feel bit relieved.


We went to Malaysian International Food & Beverage exhibition after the Jumaat prayer. The expo was at PWTC. i just tumpang my boss, bcos i was so lazy to drive and find parking. there's loads of food, food and food. and i tasted almost every food sampling at every stalls. hehehe.... if i m not mstaken, i eat about 8 or 9 types of dates (from few Middle East countries) and honey from various plants (each plant will ive different aroma of the honey - if u dont know). then i also had lontong, assam laksa and nasik asam pedas melaka from Sime Darby. then tried few juices - sour cherry, horse grass, and-whatever-the name-juices from various coutries. and of course not forgotten, all the frozen food like nuggets, coldcuts, fish & prawns etc (to compare with pakck Ramli's prodcts).

We spent about 2 hours there and went back with burpingsss all the way.....hehehhe...
Conclusion is...eat, when you are stresss.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YUE & AMET

It’s our second anniversary today. Actually we have 2 anniversaries to celebrate. One is our Akad Nikah Day, and another one is our Kenduri Day. The akad nikah took place about a month earlier before the kenduri. When it comes to today, I also have no idea why we did it separately??? Whatever it is…here comes the second year Yue & Amet tied the knot…. We didn’t really “celebrate” the anniversary, just like other special days – birthday etc. we just went out to the Borders just now. And as per what I’ve been dreaming for, Amet bought me a “Shopaholic & Baby” as the gift. It is definitely a special one, eventho u might tot ‘wat the *&@# a novel as an anniversary gift?’. But I really wanted that so it has been a special one for me (wat I mean here is, don’t u ever dare to menyibuk on my gift, ok…)



Oh, by the way, as a return, I didn’t buy anything for Amet bcoz my wallet is already kering. But he bought himself a 'Complete Network' book - he's so ilmiah, huh? Huhuhuhu…pity my darling…next time (when I’m a cupcake shop owner) I’ll buy you a big-big present ok? Huhuhu…I feel so bad…
Then we went to Tesco, spend bout 2 and half hours there, bought the everything-for-the-month-thingies. And it’s all on Amet too…thanks bebeh…
Reached home at bout 11 and cant wait to turn the first page of Sophie Kinsella’s word. Hahaha..cant stop reading the book, it’s so fun and fun!!!! However, I have no choice but to hide the book when the little tiny hands come and start to “read” my book….hohoho… planned to continue reading when she fall asleep, but just cant help myself from falling asleep too…zzzzzzz……..

how i wish i could have somebody to share
stories of mine
the only one i have is you...my blog
i've been waiting to share
i've counting days and time to tell
he's not in KL on Tuesday & Wednesday
he went to see friend in Serdang on Thursday
he got college reunion on Friday
he went lepaking with friend until 3.00 am on Saturday
and seems like he want to spend until late in front of computer on Sunday
maybe i should just keep the story
as secret until the day
or i might just forget it
until
the story really become
a Memoir of Me

* oh by the way, i've found the cause of my headache and stomachache. it might sound quite serious so i better dont scare anyone. and i just hope, and really hope, that new life will stay alive.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIN ZULAIKHA

Heyy, heyy...look who's that big girl?

It's my beautiful baby, Ain Zulaiha a.k.a. Zuzu.

Zuzu is one year old today. Hooreeyyy..!!!

Alhamdulillah...

Thru all the year, senang sangat jaga Zuzu nih. tak banyak meragam, tak banyak menangis. makan apa saja, tak ada perut kembung, tak memilih susu. Ohh...ibu hampir menitiskan air mata mengenangkan kebaikan kamu sayang!

And for the birthday, we didnt really had any party or celebration. we just bought a chocolate cake, my in laws come to KL, we play bowling and go for makan2 at night, and potong kek at the minight. that's all. i dont want to teach my daughter to be rained with presents and gifts otherwise she will request it everytime her birthday comes. i dont want her to be so materialistic, wearing a hundreds ringgit gown on one day big,garden party or so.

i want her to grow as a common, humble person. and i now, she will.

It's nothing but LOVE, that ibu will always have for you, sayang...

DREAM

i had a nightmare last night where somebody came and hit me terribly. when i woke up this morning my head felt so painful like i was really been knocked by a hammer or something. and so uncomforable feeling in my tummy too.

and worse come to worse when i realize its already 7.50 am when i opened my eyes. terus jump into the bathroom for a quick splash.dress up, and terus drive to work. with the terrible headache plus no breakfast make me almost fainted. told my boss that i really not feeling well and went back home.

tot to go see doctor at first, but the headache had become worse so what i see is just pillow. sampai at about 10 am terus landing on the bed, tido mati and only terjaga at 4.30 pm when the phone ringing.

Bangun and tengok umah bersepah giler sbb I didn’t kemas before going to work this morning. With the kepala still berdenyut2 like a heavy stone was tied on my head, I try to ignore and start sapu sampah, basuh all the pinggan mangkuk yg semalam, and kemas all Zuzu’s toys. Suddenly ternampak kain utk buat langsir which I bought last Saturday but still waiting to be sent to the tailor. So I took the red one which i planned to be used for bedroom. And I start gunting the kain, sew it (jahit tangan nih okey…) and tadaa….2 sets of curtain siap for my bedroom. So proud and tak sabar2 terus pegi gantung. Waaahhh…I’ve been dreamin for red theme for the bedroom for years and now only I managed to do it, and it just took few hours.this is what people say ‘when there’s a will, there’s a way’, huh. And I changed the bedsheet to suit the theme.

Then go to the kitchen, and start kemas the kitchen cabinet pulak. Seems like I’ve thrown away half of the contents which are kerepeks and keropoks bought during last Raya Haji! Hehhehehe…And also the fridge – kutip all the lauks and soups made last week and buanggg.. oh how I wish I had the time like this everyday so I can make sure that this house is not full of rubbish.

Finally it’s the time to mop the floor with roses & vanilla…ahh..it’s really the aromatherapy that works for headache…

Go and fetch Zuzu at about 6.30, then goring the fun fries for both of us to enjoy while watching Ezora. What a nice day (eventho I still wondering – what caused my headache and stomachache – am I really being hit by someone last night?)

KASIHAN

This morning i was in the documents room to use photocopy machine. at the same time, there were Ms. Clerk, Mrs. Account and Mr. Purchasing. there were also few other clerks which i'm not very familiar with.

i was using the machine when i heard them chit-chating, about toilet.

Ms. Clerk : Semalam kan...saya pergi bawak sepupu jalan2 kat KLCC tau. sekali kan rasa nak terkencing sangat2. terus lari masuk toilet dia, tak tengok apa dah, terus la lepas hajat...pastu kan baru perasan, toilet tu takde getah paip. terus pikir camana nak basuh? pastu kan saya nampak ada mcm kepala paip, try la pusing. tetiba keluar air dari bawah mangkuk tandas tu. hihihihi...toilet tu tolong basuh sendiri rupanya. hihihihi.... ade ke toilet mcm tu. tak pernah saya tengok.

Mrs. Account : Isk, ye ke? ade ke toilet mcm tu?

Ms. Clerk : Ye kak....mmg ada...

Mrs. Account : Isk isk...dahsyat kan. Hari tu kan akak try la bawak anak-anak pergi Jusco. Pastu budak2 ni nak guna toilet jugak. sekali bile masuk toilet dia, rasa mcm nak sesat pun ada. ada pulak banyak2 bilik dalam tu...ko tau tak, ada toilet khas untuk kanak2 di sebelah toilet ibu-ibu. pastu ada toilet yg ada temat duduk baby kat dlm tu. pastu kan...ko tau tak...siap ada sediakan bilik nyusukan baby lagi. siap dgn buaian pulak tu! pastu kan, ada bahagian bancuh2 susu baby, siap dgn air panas semua. ada bilik untuk bersolek. mcm2 lah. dahsyat betullah...tk pernah aku tengok toilet sampai mcm tu.

Mr. Purchasing : Hmm..saya pulak kalau pegi hotel ke, saya akan bawak tuala sendiri, sabun shampu semua bawak sendiri. kdg2 nak guna tandas pun tak yakin kat hotel2 ni. hotel pun sesetengah tu jenis takde getah paip jugak.susah betul.

Dalam hati, aku berkata "Oh oh...kasihannya mereka ni...".
i never thought there are still people yg tak pernah tengok toilet2 sebegitu? i cant imagine...
then, maybe for them, toilet kat ofis yg i-puke-everytime-i-go-in tu dah cukup hebat, cukup bersih, cukup wangi kan? bcoz they never see there are still double-mouble awesome toilets out there. oh....
and i tot, apa yg diorg ni buat selama ni sampai tak pernah masuk KLCC dan Jusco? spend every weekends and holidays at home???? damn....
if i continue working here, will i be like them? makin hari makin maju mundur...
kalau Jusco pun tak pernah pegi, then better dont ask bout The Gardens or Bangsar Village. and of course not Pavillion.
and i wonder, where they bought their clothes and shoes? their handbags? their kids wear?
i just...oh...i dont know.....
jahatkah aku menulis begini? i just...still cant believe it (i hope i wont sleep with eyes wide shut tonite)

** naseb baik selama n tak pernah sembang dgn diorg kat surau ke pasal hal perihal shoping moping ni kan. klu tak, mesti sgt kasihan kan....

LALALALA KERJA

I am not feeling good today. i dont have mood to do work. so i did this test :

What's Your Dream Job?

My Result: Famous Artist

Whether you make your own clothes or just love to make a scene, you've got a creative streak a mile long. So it's no surprise your perfect job would be as an internationally famous artist. Being able to turn the world upside down with your vision would suit you just right and you'd pull it off in a style all your own. People would "ooh," "ahh," and try to imagine what could possibly go on in that mind of yours. Too bad they'd never come close.

But you don't have to get shown at the Tate or have a star on the Walk of Fame to live your dream; just remember to put that creative spirit to work everywhere. Whether it be memos and reports or desk flair and office wear, you'll be sure to make a big impression. The world is your canvas!

See? I've said it before right? and the result just prove it. Hmmm....inilah yg dinamakan cita-cita tidak kesampaian...huhuhu...

LUCKY, HUH?

Biasaya aku ni kan, bila org buat apa2 lucky draw, aku mmg tak pernah lucky. tapi tadi kan, aku attend satu convention at Sunway Resort.actually aku memula tak berasa interested pun nak attend sbb bunyi mcm tak best pun.tp dh boss proposed nama aku, and meaning if aku attend the seminar aku tak perlulah pi keja, so aku pun pi je lah.

Masa awal2 opening tuh diorg dah announce akan ada lucky draw by the end of the event (nih satu tektik tak kasi org blah awal).tengok hadiah2 kat atas stage tuh semua brg2 elektrik yg agak hebat la jugak.tp aku tak interested pun nk ambik tau sbb ntah...aku mmg tak interested.
setelah habis seharian mendengar talks, tibalah masanya yg ditunggu2 oleh org lain (kecuali aku). semuanya ada 20 nama yg akan dipanggil dan dimulakan dengan no yg terlast dan ke atas.

ketika aku tgh main2 sms, tetiba bunyik cam nama aku plak kat mikrofon tuh.then budak sebelah aku ckp "eh, you kan from R....y? nama you tue...". so aku pun kelam kabut la naik stage, bersalaman dgn Mat Salleh gemuk tuh, and dapatlah satu bijik hadiah...(errr...aku pun taktau sgt la pasal alat2 elektrik ni...radio ke hapa ntah la yg aku dapat nih...ambik je laa...). tapi yg pastinya itu hadiah 3rd prize. terrer kan aku? hahaha....
kalau aku dapat grand prize, which is LCD TV 32" agaknya mesti aku sgt riak kan? hahahha....sebab tu aku tak dapat. anyway alhamdulillah.....bertuah jugak aku nih rupanya.
(sori malas bangat nk ambik gambar hadiah itu sbb zuzu sgtlah sebok menyebok nak jugak tekan2 camera tu...)
_______________________________________________________

Menceritakan sedikit pasal Zuzu (Kesian anak aku, org lain hari2 updet pasal anak dlm blog diorg, anak aku dikecualikan - sbb takut terlebih glemer dr ibu), dia skrg dh pandai :

* bangun & berdiri sendiri.
* tak suka bila org nak pegang2 belakang dia masa berdiri
* belajar jalan selangkah dua sambil jatuh2
* makan sangat kuat
* minum susu juga sangat kuat
* mengamuk bila tak bagi apa yg dia nak
* menyanyi & menari
* ikut azan (especially waktu maghrib masa tengok Ezora)
* ada iklan2 kegemaran - bleh buat dia gelak masa tgh nangis
* sangat naughty dan suka kacau aku tido
* pandai letak handphone kat telinga
* camera pun letak kat telinga jugak
* kalau aku nk blogging, laptop akan menjadi milik dia

MAKANG KENDURI NANANG DI KEMAMANG


kitorang sampai Kemaman town almost 12 p.m. Apai (kawan Amet) telah siap sedia membooking sebuah bilik hotel utk kami sekeluarga bermalam (apsal aku punya ayat ni mcm karangan Bahasa Melayu jeh?).

disebabkan keletihan yg amat sangat (actually bengang sbb masa kt Kuantan tadi ada jalan tutup so kitorg mai redaah je, so mcm salah jln skit walaupun akhirnya sampai juger), itorg pun terus tido tanpa pergi berfoya2 ke mana2. lagipun this is Kemaman i'm talking about, not KL okeh...by the time kitorg sampai semua kedai dh tutup daa...


Awal2 pagi lagi aku dah terbangun (sbb hotel ni mcm rumah tumpangan jeh,aku takut nk tido), kejutkan si bapak dan si anak yg lena tak hingat dunia tuh, siap2 then gi breakfast kat Hai Peng Kopitiam.mcm2 makanan Pantai Timur ada, tp mcm dh lama tak pandai makan so pekena nasik lemak + roti bakar + telur separuh masak + cham ais jeh ('je???").


Balik hotel, iron2 baju sambil melayan drama melayu kat TV2 (Amet adalah peminat utama drama2 melayu). dalam pkul 11.30 siap ready bertolak ke umah Epe, then teruskan perjalanan ke umah Jue (pngantin pompuan). Sampai je aku org pertama pergi melantak sorang2 tanpa menunggu diorg yg lain. Lantaklaa...perut aku dah mendidih nih...


Then lepak2 bawah pokok, sambil tengok gelagat2 anak2 dara gedik, sambil laki aku dan geng2 lelakinya tersengih-sengih kegatalan...layan je la....then ambik2 gambar...then balik....

and aku sangat hangin bila aku balik tengok dlm kamera itu tidak ada gambar aku yg berhempas pulas bersiap sakan khas utk bergambar dgn pengantin. and yg ada pulak si pengapit pompuan yang langsung bukan geng kitorg, yg gedik2, kernyis mengalahkan kerang, tetiba plak tersadai sebok kat situ. aku sangat sangat sangat hanginnn!!!!!


Oleh sbb itu aku tidak akan menguploadkan apa2 gambar masa kenduri nih sbb gamabar aku takdek (busuk hati).

MEREPEK

di tengah2 malam yg tak dapat ditiduri nih (oit, jgn blue la),aku pun mula la nak blogging tak tentu pasal.biarkan aku dengan hotak gila ku..!!!

baru jek pas siap2 packing baju2 as we all plan tomorrow after balik keja (mesti cabut awal), nak terus travel to Kemaman. actually we are attending Amet's friend's wedding.sbb dulu dia mai kenduri kami kat Perlis, so it's payback time la nih (eventho tak sama nilai - dulu masa kenduri kami harga petrol RM1.92 but now RM2.70. huhuhuhu...)Maaf la aku asyik sebut pasal minyak jeh setiap kali menulis sbb aku punya hangin pada PakLah kerepot tu belom habes lagi.

Actually masa sunyi2 gini, aku terpikir mcmana aku bleh terhumban dalam kancah pekerjaan yg tak best nih (laaa....nak komen pasal keja lagi...).aku kan dulu masa sekolah2 minat sgt art kan (betul kan puan arina?).apsal aku tak teruskan study dlm art ek? apsal aku tergila-gila sgt masuk science matrik, then masuk faculty of science lagi. apsal aku tak gi uitm ka, mmu ka? apsal aku tak ambik photography ka, graphic design ka, fashion design pun ok apa...kan kan?

kalau tak, mesti skrg aku dah tak pening2 kepala dgn bau daging ayam semua, toksah susah2 hati baca result microb test yang tak pernah2 lulus...mesti aku happy2 ja jadi freelance photographer and then design2,bestnya....hmmm...aku rasa kan bila satu hari nanti DSLR itu sudah berada di tanganku, aku akan mula mengaktifkan diri secara step by step. mula2 aku akan ambik gambar2 dulu, pastu aku belajar edit2, pastu aku mula buat marketing, pastu aku akan la jadi freelance photographer yg terkenal, famous amous, glemer gemerlap, hooyeehhhh!!!!! Then senyap2 ja aku bleh la brenti teros keja dgn pakcik ramli tuh.hahahha....bestnyaaahhh....

OKeh2...impianku akan tercapai tak lama lagi. dah2...jom tidoq, mimpi jadi photographer...peeewwiiittttttttt....lalalalala.

PEOPLE vs ME

Today aku bangun agak lewat.mandi lebih kurang, then rushed to work. tak sempat breakfast.aku harap sgt takde problem.sampai lab aku telan air from water dispenser segelas.konon2 nak prevent from rasa lapar.kalaulah dapat telan secawan nesvita ke kan ke bagoih? huhuhuhu..dream on....

lebih kurang 9.30 kepala aku dah mula rasa tak berapa balance. perut dah jerit2 kelaparan tak hengat dah.aku ingat nak turun menelan apa2 sampel produk yg ada.tp kan bila aku masuk je lab tuh,terus tekak aku mual,hilang terus selera walaupun usus seperti sudah menjerut-jerut dinding perutku.

suddenly boss aku call,suh masuk production sbb ada satu machine problem.walaupun aku bukan engineer di situ, tapi jasaku amat diperlukan kerana engineer di situ agak kurang bijak sedikit (bila nak sebut "explode" dia akan kata "exploit", bila nak sebut "immune" dia akan sebut "hemiun?" - aku selalu gelak sorg2 bila dia bercakap dlm meeting).

masuk production bermakna aku kena pakai labcoat, face mask, glove, and boot. dengan pakaian yang langsung tidak membenarkan haba keluar dari badan itu, menyebabkan aku yg sememangnya tengah weng dan lapar bangat ini rasa seperti mahu pengsan. dengan segeranya aku lari keluar tanpa mempedulikan sesapa.

after bukak the face mask and all, barulah aku feel better sket.unfortunately, bila aku masuk toilet busuk tuh, aku dah mula loya balik (i tell u aa...this toilet tak payah tunggu ko ngandung la, org sihat walafiat umpama peserta olympic pun bisa muntah!).

disebabkan prut yg kosong tanpa breakfast + muntahkan sisa air dan mineral yg ada = badan turned to be so w-e-e-a-a-k.....tak larat. masuk lab tersamdar kat kerusi tepi dinding tu. as usual, pemerhati CCTV call "Akak tak sihat ke? kalau boleh jangan rehat lama2 kat situ ek.kalau takleh buat keja gi ambik MC balik rehat kat umah" while i'm not even 5 minutes sitting there yet.

hoi budak hingusan! aku pun tak hingin la dok kat lab busuk berkulat nih. aku call my coleague soh bawak handbag aku turun ke lab, and call my boss, telling him i'm going back now because Eksekutif Khas gila meroyan tuh tak boleh tolerate bagi aku rehat barang seminit dua di sini. sebab aku tak sihat. nasib baik boss aku nih seorang yg memahami and he just let me go.

so dalam pukul 2 sampai la aku kat umah.aku bukak baju semua, masuk shower and mandi laaaaaaaammmaaaaa - lama, sambil duduk bersila mcm org bertapa (lotus position we call it in yoga), pejam mata....bayangkan mcm aku tengah berada di satu kolam yang sangat jernih, dengan air terjun yg sejuk sedang mengalir atas kepala aku....rasa tenang...tenteram...aman.....
sampailah aku rasa jari aku dah kecut, barulah aku berhenti mandi.

then prepare utk baring2 merehatkan badan. tapi bila aku cuba nak pejamkan mata, aku teringat plak nak call kawan2 lama (maklumla kredit tgh penuh nih). so aku call officemates yang dulu2. and after that aku buat satu rumusan seperti ini :

EX-COLLEAGUE 1
1. still working in the same company where i used to be (my first job here).we joined at the same time - Nov 2003. I left in Dec 2004, and she has been loyal for near to 5 years.
2. her salary raised, but not much. just about 5 - 10% each year.
3. no bonus, but there's some saguhati during hari raya.
4. no company trip, but they have annual convention (to give appreciations to dealers etc.)
5. the company is expanding - from manufacturing just capsules, now they have food & beverage range too.

EX-COLLEAGUE 2
1. (my third job here) - she joined when i was about 1 month to leave the company. it was in Aug 2006. and she still working here for 2 years.
2. her salary raised, but not much since last year the business was not so good (that is also the reason i left the company). but maybe this year she'll get 'durian runtuh'.
3. there's fixed bonus of 1.5 month for executive level.
4. they just come back from company trip - Phuket! (during my time it was just Cherating).
5. the company's business is expanding with the new GM's business-minded plan. you can see the ads & commercial everywhere now.

EX-COLLEAGUE 3
1. (my sixth job here) - she joined about one month after me - Apr 2007. she's still there for about 1 year now.
2. she already got 4 times increament in 1 year!!!!
3. they give 2 months bonus.
4. no company trip yet as this company is new, but they are planning for one.
5. company is expanding - more products,more people.

EX-COLLEAGUE 4

3.she has been married for about 3 years. she has no kids.
4. she live in big bungalow.
5.she goes shopping whenever she wants, alone.
6. sometimes, she goes travelling overseas with her husband.

ME? i have a job. my salary is ok la quite good too.i have petrol allowance (berlagak giler dpt voucher minyak nih).i have a lovely husband and daughter.i went holidays too (eventho it's not company trip, it's our own trip),and i will go kemaman pulak tomorrow.my life is quite good. but why i dont feel good?
because, my job sucks........job is the place where we spent our day.dengan anak pun kita tak spend selama itu kan? so, kalau your workplace teramat sangat tidak best,apa yg anda rasa? aku rasa mau blaahhhh.....
i dont know how people can work for years in one same place. i want to be like them too.kalau aku sabar dulu2, mesti aku dapat merasa apa yg EX2- colleague aku rasa skrg kan? huhuhu...perlukah aku menyesal di kemudian hari? dah...tak payah laaa...........

HEY~I'M BACK

i woke up at 2.30 am to make susu for Zuzu and feel hungry and grabbed the egg tart i bought this evening. nothing to watch on TV. get the laptop, get connected and start reading other people's blog.

it has been about 2 months since my last update. i just want to give all my readers opportunity to read the beginners blog (read : our ministers, PM and Che Det's blog), rather that focusing on old-time, expert blogger like me. hahahhahaa....now that time and health permit, i'm back to give all my beloved readers excitement, fun-to-read words again.hahhahaha...why la i'm so perasan di malam hari begini?

maybe these few weeks i'm a bit stressed and tensed with my unstable health condition, and so do my sucks, new job. i'm not even get confirmed yet, but already start to look for another job.
there are pros & cons working here, but as usual, i always found that cons are more than pros.

PROS
1.they give good salary + petrol allowance (i bet everybody will envy me for this) + handphone allowance (which i always end-up donating to mom and adik beradik as only used half of it) + everyday lunch voucher.

2. they are all bumiputeras, they work like government style - unfinished jobs can be postponed tomorrow or the day after, they pack their handbags at 4.30 pm and punch out 5 o'clock sharp. i can even reached home at 5.30 unless i go merayap-rayap first (which i always did).

3. no stay-back style, office will become gelap gelita by the latest 5.15 pm. so no feeling of segan silu nak balik awal like i used to feel in all my workplaces before.

4. they dont wear make-ups, they never heard of Coach, Anya Hidmarch - I'm not a plastic bag theme, not even know that Xixili is a lingerie brand.this helped me to save a lot as i do not need to buy branded items anymore (some just bring free paper bag to work, huhuhuhu...).

CONS
1. they do not have pantry in the office, and they do not allow us to eat while working. this is so killing me..!!! at least just give me a piece of biscuit and a dose of caffein laa...

2. they have CCTV everyplaces (meaning there is no place for me to curi2 makan...lapaaarggghhh).

3. they have their whole family (father,mother, childrens with no brain) working there as what-they-called-"Eksekutif Khas". except the father is Director la kan...and their job is monitoring CCTV all day long even when they are at home.

4. the lab where i 'm wasting my time working doesn't look like a lab, but more like pusat penternakan serangga & kulat.

5. they do not have proper working system, no SOP, no WI, but just work (how to?).

6. when there's breakdown, operators use their magics to try & error fixing the thousand-dollars machine, which always end up with permanent breakage.

7. product complaints are out-of counts, and dont have a handling system. i tried to create at least by having log numbers, forms and so but they dont know how to use it. huhuhuhu....

8. they dont know how to use email. they give printed memos on everybody's desk, and they fax the hand-written documents, instead of typing and email it.huwaaaa...........

9. they still using the conventional punch card system - with red-prints if u are late even 1 minute. and the red prints means they will deduct some amount from the salary.

10. the toilet...........i puke more than i pee. d.i.s.g.u.s.t.i.n.g.

kalaulah bukan kerana uwang, sudah lama aku chaa-buutt....
