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...)
_______________________________________________________

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....

PORT DICKSON

It was last Saturday, as we had planned earlier to go to Port Dickson. unfortunately i came back lae from work because i had to go to Bdr Tun Razak to do some verification on returned goods. and on the way back from Cheras to Batu Caves thru MRR2, the traffic was so-o-o baadddd...
As i reached home it's already almost 3 p.m. So kelam kabut angkat barang semua, off we go to Port Dickson. We reached there at about 5 pm and jalan2 looking for a room to stay. we didnt booked earlier and so bad it was a school holiday. duh..! we go round and round and round but cant find any place to stay. until my eyes catch a signboard to Pantai Cermin which is a bit far from Teluk Kemang, we tried our luck.
Luckily there was one room left, which is actually an apartment with 2 bedroom inside. we had no choice but to take it (as the price also not so expensive). but we feel like it's quite merugikan because only 3 of us to stay in that big room. we decided to invite Along, but she had to tolak because her cousin in law was at her house.
The hotel was quite nice, with peaceful surrounding, beautiful landscape, with swimming pool, and quite near to the beach. the apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, kitchen, living hall with sofa and TV and other basic equipments.
As we checked n quite late, nothing much that we can do. After sending our things to the room, we took Zuzu to berenang2 at swimming pool. i aso grabbed the chance to swim as there's no more people there bcoz it's already almost 7 pm.
then we prepared ourselves to go for an early dinner bcoz i want to cath the Cerekarama. but bila balik, it was Amet and Zuzu stay awake while i alrady sailed in the bedroom. Hahahaha....
The next morning we wake up early for the breakfast and then bermain2 di swimming pool lagi. we decided not to go to mandi at the beach as the weather was quite hot.
After check out we singgah at the Teluk Kemang and bought 2 piece of "tempat letak surat berhias bunga" (one for me, one for Along). Then we go back. however on the way back, i saw the Nilai 3 signboard and asked Amet to drop by for a while. we chose only few shops to tengok-tengok and i bought 4 pieces of "bunga kering" to complete my interior deco. hehehe...well, it's only RM10 for 4 pcs lah.
So here few pics (Zuzu je lah...) taken:

Lupa nk mention, nama hotel itu ialah Casa Rachado. It is highly recommended for family vacation.

Zuzu says "Saya nak jadi pandai swim mcm ibu. Saya xmau jadi kaki bangku mcm ayah.."

Bestnyaaa...tempat nih....

SELAMAT MENGUNDI RAKYAT MALAYSIA!!!

Saya ingin mengucapkan selamat mengundi kepada anda semua. sekian ucapan saya dari bilik training. Huhuhu...sedih bangat tak dapat balik ngundi tahun ni. rugi la satu undi utk DUN aku. So today training half day je. then balik umah singgah kedai beli tepung. dah lama aku dok teringin nk menguli buat roti nih.tp selalu mcm malas jeh sbb buat roti kena uli dgn tangan lama2 baru roti jadik best. After lebih kurang sejam bertungkus lumus, akhirnya menjadilah roti bun daging aku.. amatlah bangga kerana rotiku itu sangat cantik dan gebu dan sedap mcm tuan dia. hehehehe.... inilah roti saya...Taaddaaa....




So for our lunch, kitorg makan roti je lah. as for Zuzu aku buat la 3 bijik yg inti butter.
Then after solat Zohor, Amet plak kecoh2 nk ajak gi jalan2. Boring dok umah (sbb masa ku g training td dia dok umah ngasuh Zuzu). So siap2 and kami decided gi Jusco baru bukak kat Sunway Pyramid tuh. Sampai sana rasa lapar balik sbb mkn roti ja td kan, so cari-cari la tempat nk mkn plak. tp cam semuanya fast food jeh, muak la plak. then semua mcm ramai org. so intai-intai Secret Recipe mcm ok sikit, so mkn situ jeh. Aku makan Bihun TomYam + Coke and Amet pilih Curry Mee + Mocha Ice blended. And on top of it, dia top up lg dgn Brownies with Ice Cream plak...apa punya buruk lantak la dia nih...and for Zuzu aku gi beli sebijik pau inti cream jagung kat Baoz ~ The Pau Specialist.

Then pas makan gi jalan2 kat Jusco. tetiba ternampak org ramai2 kumpul tgh ambik gambar utk peraduan bayi comel. memula ingat nk join gak. tp disebabkan terlamapu ramai org yg melampau, so batalkan je lah niat tu. lgpun Zuzu cam dh ngamuk2 ngantuk. so mesti dia taknak senyum. so jalan sikit2, aku ternampak la plak sehelai kemeja warna pink, stripes mcm Renoma hari tu, tp yg nih Alain Delon so grab satu utk Amet. tp maybe dia kesian kat aku kot, so dia gi bayar sendiri. tp kira aku hadiah la jugak sebab aku yg pilih...hehehe bleh tak mcm tu? Then jln sikit lagi aku beli 2 helai breastfeed bra and sehelai baju tido (sexy gitu hahhaha). then terus la balik sbb si Zuzu sudah ngantuk bangat tp takmau tido dlm stroller. apa daa....

TRAINING

So today is my first day at new company. tapi x masuk ofis pun. just attend training kat conference room jeh. mengantuk jeh mata aku ni masa trainer tuh dok pusing2 slide. apa yg dia pok pet pok pet tu cam masuk telinga kanan keluaq telinga kiri je lah. bukan taknak pay attention tp mana best org lain semua dah ambik cuti nak balik2 kampung mengundi, aku plak dok dengar training. tak semangat daaa....
Luckily, masa dlm pukul 12 gitu trainer tu ckap kita akan cuba habiskan half day je sbb jap lg solat Jumaat abd then after that diorang ada meeting ngan director, so aku bleh a balik. Hoyeeyyy...seperti yg dijanjikan encik trainer menamatkan sesi utk hari ini bfore dia g solat Jumaat. So aku pun memecut nk balik umah. sekali masa nak keluar dari Batu Caves tu ntah hapa la aku dok ngelamun, aku termasuk plak ke sususr keluar nak gi KL instead of jalan terus ke PJ. apa daa...so tgh dok pikir2 tang mana aku bleh U-turn tu, aku hingat baik jugak aku gi jalan2 kat KL. lgpun mmg dah lama bangat aku tak pi KL. ntah apa yg ada skrg aku pun xtau. aku rasa ada la kot dalm 3-4 bulan aku tak g jln2 kat KL.
so aku un gi la round2 kat Jln. TAR tu. ingat memula nk beli telekung. tp semua cam tak best jeh. so aku buatla tour gi Sogo lak. sampai jek situ nampak SALE utk barang2 pakaian lelaki. So aku gi la menyebok di celah2 org ramai tuh. Semua cam best2 jeh. rambang mata tatau nk pilih yg mana. Memula choose a pink, stripes Renoma shirt. sekali cari size tak ada la plak. so jalan2 lagi jumpa la satu Polo shirt, kotak2 kecik, kaler blue n white, so ambik la yg nih.
And then naik atas jalan2 tengok kasut Zuzu tp mcm biasa jek. takde yg best. so jalan2 tengok kasut pompuan lak. then ternampak satu selipar Larrie nih cam comfort je. try2 rasa mmg comfort nih. dahla masa tu aku tgh pakai high heel. so apa lag pakai terus la selipar tu...(eh bayar dulu daa..).
Then tengok jam dah 3.30 terus a balik umah. Amet pun ada kat umah sebab dia keja malam so today balik awal la. terus la aku present hadiah kemeja tuh kat dia....hahahha mcm best jeh dapat bagi hadiah kat dia. bangga semacam jeh...then tdo jap pastu p ambk Zuzu...sekianlah kisah trainig saya di Sogo hehehe...

BALIK KAMPUNG (ADVENTURE OF ME & ZUZU)

Wahaha...today we all both me and Zuzu dah ada kat kampung...Yeaayyy!!! Best ooo..rasa adventure jeh dapat balik kampung dua beranak. Dah la naik bas, jauh plak tuh. KL - Kangaq tuh, bukan KL - Kuala Selangor okeehhh...
Memula before nak pi beli tiket tuh, takut2 jugak kalau Zuzu ngamuk ke kat dalam bas tuh (tp aku tau dia bukan jenis pandai ngamuk pun), kalau dia berak ke dalam bas (mest smerbak bau bas tu), atau kalau dia mabuk ka, muntah ka hapa apa aku nak buat sorang2?
Tapi dengan berbekalkan tekad dan semangat seorang ibu yg percaya kepada kebolehan anaknya, aku teruskan jua niatku itu. kitorg balik berdua bukan sebab apa, sebabnya kitorg actually plan nk balik masa ngundi nanti. pastu tetiba pla company baru aku tu nk suruh jugak2 aku attend training hari Jumaat n Sabtu yg ngundi tuh sbb the next monday ada audit. so aku terpaksa la balik kampung awal sikit. lagipun skrg ni aku tak keja, dr dok lepak je kat umah baik blk kampung tgok sedara mara dan suasana mengundi kat kangaq nih.
So kami decide nk stay 3 hari and then balik KL a day before aku g trainng tuh. Since it is weekdays, so kami teraksa tinggalkan Amet...but i'm sure dia mesti happy sbb inilah masanya nk g enjoy katak sepuas2nya (tak gitu cik abg..?)
Oopppsss..that evening before g naik bas, sempat gak lagi g jalan2 kat One Utama, and kebetulan ada la sikit2 sale for Jusco Card Member. Memula ingat nk belikan Amet baju keja, tapi mcm takdak yg best2. So jalan2 lagi, mcm nampak kedai Vincci tu ada plak ramai org. MAsuk jap, try2 tengok dah terbeli plak sepasang kasut...hehehehe...tp murah jek sbb aku pilih yg 50% diskaun. And thanx abangku sayang sbb belanja kasut tuh...(instead of aku belikan baju kat dia, dia plak terbelikan aku kasut...bijak..bijak..)
Bye bye...we are enjoying our holiday at kampung....

Sesapa yg nk cari best tom yam and seafood, aku recommend sangat2 restoran ni.Bessttt....

KU BAHAGIAA!!!

Hey hey...do you see the strikes on my wish-list? Hehehehe....So tadaaa...showing off the things i've been dreaming for long. Amet must be so bersyukur now as he would never hear me saying "Bila laa nk dapat Coach ni.." as i used to say almost everyday, until yesterday.

I choose the Patchwork series - they are HOT at the moment.

However, i cant show the almari dapur here bcoz it has not arrive yet (I'm waiting...). And sshhyyy...Amet doesn't know i alreadybought the almari dapur. I want to make it a suprise (unless he's reading my blog in his office).

Ceritanya begini... this afternoon at about 12pm, i need to deliver the cupcakes to Amet's officemate in Jln TAR. While I also got appointment to sign the offer letter kat the new company at 3 pm. So while waiting for the time, i tot to go jalan2. I went to the furnitures shop to you know...just window shopping (window shopping can be done everywhere, not just in a mall). And i found out they are having sales. And i found one of the kitchen kabinet is quite nice and affordable. So i just bought one.

Well, it will definitely help our cute kitchen to look neat anyway. And i bet the neighbours will missed my cursing ("Hoi..!! This small kitchen really turns me crazy!!!") as they always heard it whenever i'm cooking. Well, the kitchen size will stay remain as it is, but at least i hope i will not terlanggar all the pinggan mangkuk periuk belanga anymore. And now..i already got the place to keep my lovely Correlle...hehehe...

SCRAPBOOKING MANIA!!!

Inilah hasilnya apabila aku duduk kat rumah. Habis semua jadik mangsa utk discrapbookkan. cuma gambaq Amet dan aku ja yg takdak (takde gambo comei). yang paling menjadik mangsa mstilah Zuzu. Hehehe..kesian anak ibu. tu laa...sapa suh comei sangat. Hahahaha....




Our kambing, Si Gigi (we name her Gigi bcoz "GOAT" start with "G") pun jadik mangsa jugak...

Later i will tell the story how we adopted a kambing. now is the time to kemas mengemas rumah and mencuci botol-botol susu yg semalam punya...what a freedom to be a homemaker haaa (well, at least until next week before i start working again), ahhh.....jgn jelless ye kawan2 yg sedang bekerja..hahaha.....

A STORY IS A HISTORY NOW

I just realized that I never bitching bout my current/latest employer/company since I joined them rite? Well, it’s not bcoz they are so great or what, but it just that I just don’t want to write so much bout my work life which is just as miserable as usual. But today, I wanted to. I want to tell you a story – a story of a company that I already leaving…yes, I am…

I joined them is April 2007, when I was 6 months pregnant. They said, they are a tolerable, so they don’t mind accepting a pregnant lady to join them. They are a German-based, they have a factory in Germany, the CEO, CFO and Directors are from Germany, they sometime speaks in German, letters and certs come in Germans and all.

I don’t mind that, as long as I can speak English and they understand me, that is fine. They do pay a big wages, as maybe they thought I would spend eating at Italian and Japanese restaurant everyday like they do. That is also fine with me.

And I had an Indian-Muslim manager, being the immediate supervisor for me. He is o-o-k. He did her role well ( I guess), but maybe a little problem here is that he is not good enough in delivering jobs and tasks to me, leaving me always task-less, not fully occupied, nothing to-do, and with that free time encourage me to surf what-nots on internet and go back sharp on time. While on the other hand, his another assistant, a junior executive (I am senior executive) always had full-tray assignments, hundred pages of things-to-do and maybe that make her, well you know…kind of envy, or uncomfortable. And with her new passions in getting-to-know-MAC or better said an IT-officer-wannabe, she had to spend more time in office, finishing assignments and helping IT people – which sometime make her spend until 10 pm.

So from there, the bosses see :

1. My manager plays a big role – he did everything for our dept.
2. The junior exec also plays a big role - she spent time in office until late at night everyday (eventhough she just sitting there bergayut on the phone or YM-ing or SKYPE-ing, but the fact that bosses see is she’s always go back late)
3. While me, plays a very small role, not fully-occupied – go home early, do nothing but just sitting in front of computer, and joined during pregnant, and given 2-months maternity leave.

And that was the time when Zuzu had diarrhea, for about more than 2 weeks, I had taken lots of leave and EL. Until one bad-hair day, the management called me :

Them : You took lots of leave these days.

Me : Yes my daughter is sick. She don’t want to stay with the babysitter. You when baby is sick they just want to crawl in you, hugs you and so…

Them : Yes, but you must consider to find other alternatives.

Me : I don’t have any.

Them : Maybe can ask your relatives to take care of your baby?

Me : My baby DO NOT WANT TO STAY WITH ANYBODY ELSE BUT ME. Hope you understand that.

Them : And before this you have a taken a one-shot 10 days MC – when you were..err..having miscarriage?? Well, I don’t mean to argue, but I don’t know if it is true that you’re having miscarriage and operations, you know..these days..MC can be bought… And I heard from other woman that this kind of operations just need you to rest for 1 or 2 days, but not 10..

Me : May I know what are trying to say here? You don’t believe me, don’t you? Now, let me know, are you trying to sack me off?

Them : Well, you know that company pays your salary so we hope that you pays us back with commitment. But you hav..

Me : It’s ok. I understand that. And I hope you get married faster, and have your own baby and then only you’ll know how does it feel being a mum and what the bloody reasons I was taking leaves when my baby was sick (pointing to the HR mgr). And you, I really hope you can be a woman at least one day or at least your wife will get miscarriage too, so you’ll know how does it hurts that 10 days leave was just not enough to get recovered (pointing to my mgr). And thank you for spending your time. I’ll get back to you with my resignation letter by today. I really understand what you mean, but you’ll never ever understand me.

I gave the letter. Off I go. And I will never turn back.

But once again, I want to defend myself :
1. I got nothing to do in the office bcos my manager was sucks
2. I go home early bcos I got nothing else to do
3. I took MC only when I had miscarriage and never simply took MC on other fine day
4. I took leave because my baby needs me, and I love my baby that nothing can be compared to. And daripada aku dok goyang2 kaki wasting time kat ofis, baik aku jaga anak kat umah right?

So the conclusion is…aku memang tak bersalah langsung!!! But they are just heartless devil from hell, intolerable!!! Enough…I don’t want to waste my brilliant brain thinking of those sucks bloody hell people. I better go watch TV now (or continue my digital scrapbooking project – new hobby since being a homemaker, hehehe.)

But it is ok with me. i dont mind. aku pun memang dah lama nak blah dari tempat yg membuang masa aku tu. takde apa faedah pun aku dok situ. i cant learn something new, i cant gain any experience (except that "DONT TRUST PEOPLE"),and all these while aku keja kat situ memang semata-mata because of money. no job satisfaction, no anything.

And just yesterday, I got phone call, a new job offer for me. Thank You Allah. Alhamdulillah…ALLAH ALWAYS KNOWS THE BEST. Setiap yg berlaku pasti ada hikmahnya.

TRYING TO WIN MY HEART?

Yesterday after Amet back from work, we went to Tesco to buy Zuzu's silicone nipple (mother's nipple is never being seen in supermarkets at the moment). After shopping, we decided to have dinner at Madam Lim's. At first we tot to go to Santai, our all time favourite. But then, i just give an idea why not we try something new. Why should we just stick to one restaurant and never give a chance to the others.

As usual, i chose Kuew Teow Cantonese (everytime pi Santai pun, ini jugaklah yg aku order, tak pernah tukar2). And Amet chose Nasi Goreng Thai. The dishes arrived, and once the kuew teow touch my tounge, i said "this gonna be our first and last visit to this shop". I am so sorry, but the taste just cant win my heart, like the Santai does. So next and next and next time, i will always choose Santai. Credit to Santai team for maintaining your excellent taste!!!

*** Sometimes, it's better to stick to the only one - eventhough there are many choices out there. What do you think?

@>--By the way, today is Amet's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABG!---<@

HEY YOU..MY CUPCAKE ROBBERS!!!! F&*K%$G S*!T

WATCH OUT!!!! I know one of good customer service rule is - No swearing and cursing people. But these people really turn me nuts. It has been about a week since they received the cupcakes (Valentine's Special Set), and i do not received the payment yet. Weeehhhhhh...malu la sikit...itu makanan tau. Tak malu ka makan makanan tak bayaq??? Aku sumpah perut hangpa buncit!!!! Aku tak akan halalkan sapa makan cupcake aku tak bayaq.

What i hate is...they are getting 4 digits salary and they cant pay only RM25 for my cuppies??? Hey...i tell you that cuppies is not a mandatory/must/wajib. If you think you dont have enough money to pay me, dont order!!!! All these cuppies adalah sumber pendapatan aku. Aku keluarkan modal to make the cakes. It's not just berbekalkan-air-lir punya bisnes. This bisnes needs me to buy ingredients and materials before it is beautifully delivered to you, bastarrddd!!!!!!

For these people, i will not regret at all to not receive order from you anymore. All that i want is, YOU MUST PAY IT NOW!!!! OR......

DUNIA BARU-KU

Hahahaha akhirnya tercapai jugak hasrat aku nak tengok wayang. It has been about 9 months since my last visit to cinema. Kebetulan hari ni Siti buat collection cupcake, and dia terus bayar cash on the spot (Thank a lot Siti. We really appreciate that). Plus with duit baki yg aku mintak tolong dia belikan quilt cover hari tu dapat la jugak menampung poket di tengah2 bulan nih...

Actually hari nih aku rasa mcm seram sejuk nak demam, so aku terpaksa cancel satu order, and just tido jeh kat ruang tamu dgn memeluk Zuzu. Sedar2 aku tengok jam alamak aku dah terfall asleep dekat 3 jam dah.Bangun je perut plak rasa lapar. And today aku langsung tak masak sbb betul2 rasa tak larat. so aku plan nk g tapau je kt mamak depan umah tu. suddenly Amet plak bg suggestion nk g makan luar and asked me where i want to go. since kami tak keluar mana2 pun hari ni aku suggest g jauh sikit. so i asked him to bring me makan at restoran Herman Tino...yeahhh!!!! WEll actually aku bukan a big fan of Herman Tino, but since Amet asyik bercerita bout this restoran (diorg g mkn kt situ masa aku tengah berpantang), aku pun nak gak la try...tp bila sampai aku just order menu biasa je, makan nasik + ayam goreng kunyit (my most favorite). The taste is ok la...since perut lapar semua pun habis licin...ngeh ngeh ngeh...
Oh oh..lupa lak nk cakap. KAmi jumpa En. Wan Kamaruddin, pengacara hot "apa kejadahnya semua ini" tu.....hensemmmm...

Then on the way back lalu kat Cineleisure. aku cakap kat Amet teringin la nk tengok wayang. Amet pun agree. So sampai umah, pas Maghrib hantar Zuzu kat Kak Yan, kami pun pergila ke Cineleisure. Memula ingat nk tengok Cuci, tp malangnya Cuci dah takde. so kami pun memilih utk tengok Dunia Baru. Amet pesan jgn cakap kat org dia tengok citer ini sbb dia malu. tp bila tengok, gelak ketawa dialah yg paling kuat dalam tu. apa daaa.....
Citer habis dah dekat 11.30 pm so kami pun bergegas-gegas la balik and ambik Zuzu kat umah Kak Yan. Zuzu dh tido tp balik umah dia terbagun dan continue main2 sampai pukul 1 baru tdo balik. sekian cerita saya pergi menonton wayang bersama suami yg tersayang....hahahahaha
