Wowweee..seems ages since I last updated my blog..time flies so fast..and I am so stuck with my new routine..nursing my new little boy....preety tired...and thanx so much with the help of my girls..( not forgeting the daddy as well - who appears once in a while due to his work nature - miss u terribly dear...)
Many things have changed..and all of us slowly adjusted to the new timetable..tip toeing around...night screams..slumber disturbance...taking turns of having meal..etc..etc..am sure..all chaotic at first...but again..everything comes with a price..and we are ready to pay for it..
It has been over one month..and Baby Mikhael has gained his weight...from a mere skinny 3kg to 4.2kg)
It has been a week now since my 2nd daughter has gone back to her school...( happy belated Birthday Mas! - thx a lot ayah for the cheese cake)...
It is almost a week before the new school term begin...we shall be sending my first daughter to her school in Jb...( she is all anxious for its going to be her pmr year..)
.and by next MOnday my 3rd and my 4th daughter shall resume their days of schooling..
That means..I shall be alone with baby...Omigosh..can u imagine..me being alone with him...chaotic..no more lullaby by his kind sister...perhaps..perhaps..he shall cry out loud for more than he can imagine as mummy shall be busy with the normal routine...and ayah if you happen to read this...forgive me from the bottom of my heart..for all the 'moody' moments....never meant..never meant..have pity on me dear!!
I am saying bye bye to 2008..with great memories...
I am welcoming 2009...pray for the best..prosperous..and happiness..all the year throughout..
The same goes to all my blogger friends...Happy New Year..Much Love..Tata!!
p/s: Happy Birthday to my dear hubby....on this coming 31st December...and please listen to this old song..." you mean everything to me.."
and dear Maksu...all the best for the project...and this neil sedaka song was also our parents' song..

..He is the apple of many eyes...
Dear bloggers...
~Muhammad Mikhael~ safely born on Monday morning 1240am...24 Nov 2008...( 37 weeks & 2 days pregnancy age)..
Could not describe the many feelings that i felt..with his presence...much joy...much happiness..I totally forgot the pain of childbirth once the doctor safely place him on me..well that was a very intense pain.but quite a very short labour... ( I tell u!) .but for one thing I know..one of the many wishes has been granted..yes..that one wish...
But most of All..I am so grateful for the gift from Allah...and today the mood is quite sober for everyone over here.( funny that his sisters cried along our way back to home after seeing the little Md. Mikhael in his birth suit )...as he has to be left at the hospital for the jaundice treatment since yesterday afternoon..
So I am taking this opportunity to thank everybody whose prayers and support had made me strong along the pregnancy..and also well wishes...
This post is rather short..but enough to announce the arrival of our little boy..
Shall meet again..Thanks you all...
Baby at home.. 4 days old.
Satu anugerah..akhirnya...and to all my beloved family and friends..thanks again..see you when I see u..tata!

Wouldn't u also ???
Since last visit to my gynae, my appetite has gone hay-wire...thus..cooking is the last thing i enjoy.(especially when at times the smell makes me dizzy..which of course make me wonder..how on earth..at this trimester??)..if its not a must....and these few days if someone wd have spotted me..they wd see me around the area of food court near my place..( difference wd only be the gown I wore and the time plus the food i bought)..Since there'r only me and my two little girls....it makes my reasoning to bring ready-made food so much easier..less hastle..no guilty...
This afternoon I stopped by a noodle stall which also sell 'bubur kacang' - sweet dessert...I was greeted by a boy still wearing a school uniform..(the said conversation is then translated into Malay language.)
Me : Eh, Mana mak?
Boy : Err..jemput makan makcik..Mak saya balik jap, solat...Makcik nak ape?..( prior to that he himself was actually scooping the noodles to himself....)..
Me: Mee hun sup 1 , bubur kacang 1 dan 2 dadih.
He looks so pro when packing all those ordered..and between that I asked him few question...like how's the paper, his other siblings..etc..
Me: Baru balik skolah?
Boy: Habis paper spm, cik...Saje je temankan mak kat sini..
And my heart melts for no reasons...
Quite a times I had this opportunity to have met and deal with nice and well mannered boy..and of course my heart wd smile all the way...why?..maybe I had compared them with those boys roaming around on a bike...dangerously showing off their talent..and things like that..or laughing hysterically inside the cyber cafe regardless of the surroundings..( u bet ..i'd been inside those cc..and since it didn't separaete adult and kids...it was like h*ll..sitting beside those little ra*cals...)
But again...I wd love to see and meet those kind of teenagers...which I think are becoming very rare..well depends on the type of places I visited...
To conclude...would n't u also love to meet and be treated by some nice and well mannered teenagers..?..Deep inside..I am eager to meet their parents too...and at least learn the parenting skills..etc...which I think still lot to be learned..
And of course..what about my own kids???
Bak kata pepatah melayu:..bagaimana acuan..begitulah kuihnya.......I wonder if I cd carry the mission...and if anybody out there who have met my husband..who is so reserved and introvert..(facts only ok!) then I'd say for this department alone..lots and lots work must come from me eh!..adeh!..well talk about soft skills...pr..pr...Well...maksu..give me a hand pls!!
Have a nice day for all nice people I have known and met out there..

The ones most excited....
Get your free online pregnancy calendar from WhatToExpect.com
Maisarah : "Mama, bila baby boleh keluar ma?"
Mama : " Insya'Allah, When Allah makes it happen , when everything is ready and of course when the baby is matured enough.."...
Maryam : " Matured enough tu ..bila jantung dia dah kuat ya mama..."..
Mama : Maisarah dan Maryam mestilah rajin solat dan doa untuk dia , ok!...
And time after time...they wd play doctor and patient with one assisting the other to deliver...
( amazingly..how good they are in immitating!!)..hahaha..when I asked Maisarah...nak jadi doktor kah?.....tak mau lah..Sarah saje je ni...Sarah nak jadi tukang masak.....dan lukis fesyen baju...Iyam pun...
I guess I just let them be...
Cheers to everybody....
...And since these two little girls are always there...they'r also the ones who can't wait for the arriving of the little baby their mama is carrying around....only few weeks left...errr...the agony of waiting ....what more.....the baby, cd be familiar with the yelling voices of the girls...as it wd do many kinds of somersault inside there whenever the girls calling after....the suspense is killing...As for me..I've long forgotten the labour pain...( Ni lah hikmahNya....kalu semua orang ingat sakit...tak bertambah jumlah umat..he..he...of coz..I miss my Late mum!..)

Little did they know..that life with a little baby is going to be lot different..and of course mama wouldn't be this extra nice to entertain them....and as to quote Kak Long.....hehe!!..Mama wd be grumpy at times.....oopss.....post natal blues!!!
We r yet to make a visit to the baby shop for last minute shopping..those essentials...and of course the ayah is still comtemplating on the spring cleaning of the house..oh yes...and ayah is aiming to transfer the task to kak Long and Kak Ngah...hahah!when they's back for the school holidays...about a month from now..and by that time...I am hoping and praying the balloon will pop !...ie..just like my all other angles... out by 37 weeks...insya'Allah...
Cheers to everybody....

Kan syawal sebulan???
And Maisarah recently askd me...
Maisarah : Mama, kan raya sebulan ..kenapa sekolah tak cuti dan ayah kerja tak cuti lama..?
See..even the little girl has been enjoying the holidays..the jemputan rumah terbuka...makan-makan..etc..
Apparently...little kids...
Dan kalu semua orang bercuti sebulan raya.....bayangkan apa akan terjadi to the whole system....
Even parents bercuti kirana nak bagi moral support untuk anak2 yang nak ambik periksa...pun ade yang bagi remark yang tak puas hati.......and there's this one person who had commented in the news...if within an organisation many parents take leave for their children..what wd happen to the productivity...bottom line....etc
Entah le...so subjective..I bet this same type pf person wd give same kind of comments when people take leave during begnining of the year to accompany small kids entering std 1 or form 1..or boarding school or university..well...
Ape nak buat...
Rambut sama hitam..
Hati lain-lain
Lain ulu lain parang
Lain dulu lain sekarang...
Tata!!.

****************************Sunday 28 Sept:-************************
About 9am...to my lateparents' house in gombak...with everybody in the car still sleepy or groggy after sahur...just to accompany Maksu..with her housekeeping project....thought I wd be helping her..but bila dah sampai..lemah longlai...jadi mandur sesungguhnya..yang membanting tulang hanyalah Maksu dan bibik express..sesekali Munirah mencelah....mas, sarah and iyam..tolongkejap..pas tu tidor..entah ape yang letih...and our parents' house look so clean...shining armour..except for a few spot..yang aku rase..kalu panggil bibik mana-manapun pasti dah tak de tenaga menyental dari 1030pagi samapi 530ptg....and later off Munirah tagged with Maksu to berbuka puasa..( munirah ni pun pantang org nak belanja...hehe)...and ayah and us..flocked back to Rawang....tapau Mcd...(macam tak tertelan rasenya sebab kids aje yang enjoy fast food.....tapi syukur)..and Munirah overnight umah tokwan..kunun nak study....
*******************************Monday 29 Sept:-********************
Early in the morning ..had pastured ayah to drive me around..cari daging segala..since he didn't like NSK..so ..kemana-mana ajelah ayah oi...Kundang? Batu Arang?..and sampai terbabas ke Paya Jaras Sg Buloh....Just to get ingredients for sambal goreng and ayam masak merah.....reached home about 11am..with Iyam..every 10mins before that has pleaded to buka posa..tak tahan le...sakit tekak lah..well not so bad for first timer...20 days and Maisarah only missed 4 days...Suka hatilah Iyam...go help yourself with the fresh milk..bukan nak makan sangat pun...Then I had to drag myself clean up all the daging and udang..etc..get everything rebus...and pampered myself with a good one hour nap!!..
Woke up..and start packing for the raya as we are going to stay over my late parents' house...uisssh...berbeg-beg..macam nak pi overseas..lak...between that had asked mas to isi balang kuih raya...( both for maksu..and for our house...)...and remind Mas not to forget to prepare daun pandan untuk kubur tok wan dan nenek..kemas rumah ala kadar..mood raya weh!!..place on the coffee table..and ayah had fixed the timer for lampu lip lap...aduhai...penat...nasib baik berbuka oleh ehsan ayah..tapau pasar ramadhan...tarawikh cuti...and dozed off awal...only to bangun around 5am...apelagi..nasi goreng was the simplest ever menu for sahur..Received a call from Ch'mok...far away from Libya....Selamat Hari Raya Ch' mok!!
**********************************Tuesday 30 Sept:-*******************
With all the necessary kitchen utensils..(assuming maksu might not have this and that including rempah ratus segala..almaklum..orang duduk bujang...), waduh penuhnya gerabak kereta...around 7.00am...as eager as ever..we started our journey back to gombak...Had smsed Maksu to wake up Munirah to get ready to ziarah kubur our late parents as soon as we reached Gombak...
Event which had been a monthly affair now became a once a year routine....
To pusara arwah mak first at keramat and then to ayah's at Tmn Selaseh Gombak..because Keramat area wd be jammed around its pasar due to people flogging to buy raya stuff..
Reminiscing back almost 11 years ago..same time same date...My late mum was buried at Keramat Muslim cemetry...about 2 days before syawal...the emotions then was hard to express...even to cook raya dishes required extra lot extra energy from our part..while late ayah was cool as ever...reciting Alquran...
and almost 6 years ago..we celebrated hari raya with late ayah at HKL...a week after that..ayah left us behind..with no one by his side..alone he had suffered....I guess if any of us were present..a trauma thru the rest of our life as the doctor related how they tried hard to assist to my late dad during his last breath...
While everybody was eager to balik kmapung to gather with their family...me and my siblings have accepted the fact...we only have us for raya gathering...
Alfatihah...and alhamdulillah we finished both visits around 11 am...and as it getting hot...I kept pleading to my hubby to have the car aircond fixed ( since the last repair..I think the mechanic didn't do the job properly...now we know there's a leackage...well another unexpected expenses..)..dropped by the nearest pasar pagi because stuffs like sayur mayur for masak lodeh lom beli lagi...
Around 12..reached Gombak..and everybody was already tired...and my hubby left us for the nearest car centre...so maksu and me...leisurely ourself with a short nap...wah..jap lagi nak masuk dapur nih!!..bercinta tol!!
Amazingly after zhr..maksu was like superwoman...with Munirah as a great assistance....Me?...u cd guess la....physically hindered..voice to be heard only when Maksu asked..what else to put inside the rendang, sambal goreng and masak merah...and ayam rendang...( wah! bayknya nak masak Maksu..ramai nak dtg kah??)..
....prior to that lauk berbuka sudah pun siap....ooooo...how nice to have somabody else to pamper urself with their cooking..blessed!!!
Had wanted to anyam ketupat..tapi tak pandai..so beli aje daun ketupat yang dah siap di anyam...isi beras biasa campur beras wangi..haha!!.sebab beras biasa dah habis stok.( i'm sure this ketupat takan tahan lama sebab mana ade orang campur beras wangi...lantakle labu..asalkan ade ketupat atas meja di pagi raya!!
Like the adv fr the tv...Maisarah asked :" Mama, kenapa kita kena raya kat sini..kan tok wan dan nenek dah tak de?"..
And Maryam was also puzzled...
But I told...sesekali kita temankan Maksu beraya kat sini..we cd have always prepare eth at Rawang...but I guess just for that sentimental feeling...and Munirah and Masturah never stopped relating how they have missed raya with Tok Wan..and This year since my mother in law will be staying with my hubby's brother nearby...so..here we are....syok sendiri..masak-masak dan kemas-kemas...
Later that night, Pak Long Kudin datang...before his journey to Sitiawan....hehehe...me dapat duit raya fr my big brother..terharu tak???and Mak su had missed it..sorry Maksu...tu lah ...ade je nak keluar mlm raya...nak kasi lauk kat 'kawan' segala..
****************************Wednesday 1st Oct..************************
Allahu akbar...Allahu akbar...Allahu Akba..Walillah Ilham......Ist syawal...
Preparing the table for the syawal morning has always be my routine..and it continues until now..so I told my kids...to wake up early for the ceremony..and sheepishly told Maksu...once u are married its going to be part of your routine too!!!..because I remebered my mum used to tell me...make sure eth is ready on the table and let ur hubby eat and drink first before his solat hari raya...wahhIsteri Mithali gitu!!..( walupun...braxton hicks kerap menyerang these few days...!!!)
With ayah return from his solat hari raya...we are all in our baju kurung raya and my girls siap di 'touch up' by their Maksu...we gathered for salam bersalaman..maaf bermaafan.....wah! syahdu....ade dosa yang harus diampunkan?..ade tangisan?....ade duit raya???
Then..we eat and eat....went to visit my mother in law at Uncle Harun ( My hubby's brother)..and to Keramat to visit my aunts...( late ayah's sisters...)..reached Gombak back at 3pm..and everybody dozed off...full of raya dishes...
So that's this year ............................Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.................
Munirah had went back to JB...no more at Puduraya but at Bukit Jalil.....Take care my Bambino!!
All pictures are in the process......shall be posted here once ready...yang ade hanyalah ehsan dari hp ayah..yang tak berapa terang..tetapi sekadar mewarnai...posting ini...yang selalu kering kontang...no pics...etc..
Salam to everybody...now still in mood raya..back to normal routine..and to my kids...bulk up your belt.pull up your stockings....final year exam is around the corner......
Alhamdulillah..and to my hubby..thx so much for being so sport...for your understanding....budget lari sket kah????Jgn serik ye Yang....kesianlah kat I ni...yatim piatu....
This weekend..shall be sending Mas to her school lak....and another pre natal check up....
Have a nice weekend everybody...

Maisarah, solat tarawikh & batu seremban..
I can't recal exactly when was the first tarawikh done..but I guess when late ayah was based at Woodland, S'pore...I had to follow my late mum..and 20 rakaat plus witir for the first time..so the next day and days after that when my late dad called out for us to follow him, I wd pretend to be sleeping...kunun kekenyangan berbuka..
Then we shifted to few places...and all I cd remember was being jealous towards my brothers as they cd stay out at night playing with fire crackers ..and only come back when my mum shouted from the verandah..while me, myself and I wd have to clean the table and help mum make raya cookies..
And it was when I went to boarding school that performing solat tarawikh was like no excuse to those who are eligible...
This year I thought of bringing my two small kids to practise tarawikh..normally we (the girls) just did at home..at leisure..
But both Maisarah and Maryam just completed few rakaat...as they were heavily disturbed by a group of small girls at the back playing batu seremban...amboi!..so I just close one of my eyes..let them be...
And yesterday Maisarah had pleaded me to sew her batu seremban and she had earlier went to the kitchen finding something to feed into those batus....and yang jadi mangsa adalah sagu-sagu...
So batu seremban , 5 pieces each for maryam and maisarah and I ended with back pain that ayah had to take over preparing something to eat for sahur.....blessed!
Its like the cycle..I used to play batu seremban during primary school's break..I remember we were so addicted to it...even masa kat rumah nak tunggu berbuka pun asyik dengan batu seremban..sampai arwah mak terpekik kat dapur baru le berhenti...
So I taught my two little kids to play the batu seremban...wah!..like a master...they looked..amazed!!..( haha!...If only they cd see my primary school best friends..who were much more pro than me.....)
Tonight they had insisted me to go to the surau..I guess not so much to perform solat tarawikh but more so to show off the batu seremban....well...kids..are kids...should I go?should we go?..and I wdn't dare to let them follow the ayah..becoz ayah as usual..oleh kerana selalu solo..tidak akan kesahnya ngan budak2 nih...nanti budak2 ni tak de orang yang supervise lak....kotle nak pi toilet ke...kotle bising .kena marah lak dengan makcik2 garang...well...wait till this evening...see if mama cd stand the back pain...hehe!
And while I am writing this, it is raining heavily outside..Salam Barakah Jumaat to all!!..Happy weekend!..
Then we shifted to few places...and all I cd remember was being jealous towards my brothers as they cd stay out at night playing with fire crackers ..and only come back when my mum shouted from the verandah..while me, myself and I wd have to clean the table and help mum make raya cookies..
And it was when I went to boarding school that performing solat tarawikh was like no excuse to those who are eligible...
This year I thought of bringing my two small kids to practise tarawikh..normally we (the girls) just did at home..at leisure..
But both Maisarah and Maryam just completed few rakaat...as they were heavily disturbed by a group of small girls at the back playing batu seremban...amboi!..so I just close one of my eyes..let them be...

Nostalgia- nostalgia Ramadhan
Maisarah bertanya : Mama, sejak bila mama puasa...mama tahan ke?...Pas tu, tok wan kasi duit raya tak?..etc....
Tidak dapat dipastikan sejak bila berlatih puasa tetapi kemungkinan dalam umur 7-8 tahun..di mana yang paling kuingat telah dipaksa oleh arwah Mak untuk minum segelas air susu dan pastinya nasi disuap sewaktu sahur...terkulat-kulat dek takut kan arwah mak..telan..gak..( Arwah Mak memang sangat garang!!..mungkin sebab nak kejar masa)..air mata ke kanan ke kiri..bayangkan nasi yang berada dalam genggaman mak bila dibandingkan dengan mulut-mulut kami semua...dan ayah kekadang ade dan kekadang kami saja..almaklum ayah samada kerja shif atau belayar atau kursus...sesekali bila ayah ade.... dek janji akan dapat duit raya..pasti saja satu kekuatan untuk puasa hingga ke petang...walaubagaimanapun..ade juga hari-hari yang sangat meletihkan dan tidak dapat dinafikan kunjungan ke bilik air..ibarat "sambil membasuh muka..minum air"...dasyat...tapi lebih dasyat lagi adik beradikku yang lelaki..kenakalan yang pasti menerbitkan berbagai cara untuk berkreatif..menyegarkan diri..olej kerana aku bukan kaki repot..aku hanya melihat telatah mereka..dan berkata pada diri sendiri ..satu hari..arwah mak mesti tau punya!!!haha! Dan waktu berbuka arwah sangat bertenaga....nasi berlauk dan kueh mueh..Ketika itu tidak pernah ade pasar ramadhan...
Anak-anakku pula tidak pernah dijanjikan oleh siAyahnya untuk diberi duit raya...kalau habis puasa..so Kak long pernah merungut : "Tak best mama dah tak kerja....jgn harap ayah nak kasi duit raya.."..Rasenya aku yang memanjakan anak sedemekian rupa...well different upbringing!!
Dan apabila hampir syawal..pasti saje arwah mak yang sibuk dengan tempahan baju raya dan kuih raya..DAri situ aku belajar..berniaga..penat lelah..Apetah lagi bila ayah dah pencen, arwah mak akan berhempas pulas memasak untuk berniaga di pasar ramadhan..Dan kunjunganku ke pasar ramadhan psti saje mengembalikan kenangan...dan tatkala hujan lebat...juadah akan dikirimkan ke surau untuk sedekah moreh..atau kami saje yang telan..atau akan jadi juadah ayam-ayam belaan ayah keesokkan harinya...Kekadang aku sendiri tidak paham bagaimana tergamak ade peniaga menjual semula juadah semalam..yang hampir ..basi....dan arwah berkata padaku..:"Belajarle tinggi-tinggi..Ta!Dapat gaji lebih sikit...kerja kat opis...jual muka tepi jalan dan melayan kerenah orang tidak seronok melainkan jika benar2 terpaksa..."..Kalau ditanya pada adik-adikku jerit payah..mereka lebih mengetahui kerana aku sudahpun habis Spm dan belajar jauh..sesekali pulang hanya waktu itulah aku dapat belajar dari mak...resepi dan teknik masak...satu ilmu yang mak tinggalkan...rasa banyak lagi yang tak sempat diturunkannnya..dan untuk semua orang..Ramadhan pasti saje menggamit kerinduan kepada masakan ibu sendiri..Bagiku..itu tidak mungkin akan berlaku lagi...Yang tinggal hanya periuk belanga dan segala perkakasnya...Dan semalam mimpi didatangi arwah mak menyuapkan kue tat..seperti mengubat rindu didada..melihat kelibat arwah ayah mengemas rumah...Alfatihah..Alfatihah..

Another anniversarry...
Alhamdulillah...especially to anak-anak mama...yesterday was your parent's 15th wedding anniversarry..yeay...syukur...
No special events..special dinner..(coz..any special dinner without the two eldest wd surely accompany with guilty feelings....).no flowers becos he knows I wd prefer makan-makan.j..ust a simple day with big smiling heart and many prayers....Barakah Ramadhan!
So at the table during sahur...me said to ayah...Happy 15th anniversarry ayah dear...!!!..and ayah replied the same..and knowing his nature..a smile from him is just great...bikin dup dap hati...cos to many..he is the reserve type..even my kids' friends regard uncle musa as very the garang and no nonsence one....but the kids love the father for his touch, playfulness ( he really handle this dapartment well..coz..normally I am the lazy one to entertain my kids..with badminton, jogging, main layang-layang, playing at the beach, motorcycle ride..etc...)and caringness..eventhough many a times..mama play the 'middle' person...for every request..ape daa..
Remembering all those past years...we've been through many things together..happy and not-so-happy moments...the understanding...the quarrel..(sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit beb!).the forebearance..etc..from one kid...to double, tripple and quadrappled...( and know carrying a little one inside!!)..from flat house at wangsa maju..to gombak..to setiawangsa..to puchong..and now to terrace at rawang...From the years of using public transport to motorbike to wira and now to Toyota Unser..for being there and supportive enough when my parents died...also for being the master pay..during my non working days..and still am...for everything...
I smsed to my dear hubby:-
" Selamat Ulangtahun perkahwinan yang ke 15..To my kind, loving husband. ampun maaf. Thnx for everything.and look forward 4 many more happiness and blessings from Allah. Kaseh sayang selalu.."
And what came back from ayah..has made up my day..so sweet...:-
"Alhamdulillah di atas pemberianNya.Cabaran dan dugaan. Semuga Allah memberikan kebaikan kpd kita dan zuriat kita. Salam Kaseh sayang. Love and kisses...."
Waaaaa...he rarely speak of those romantic words...(well..that's what I think..)..
Being an adult orphanage...even though I still yearn for my late parents pamper and everything...that's left me...to be independent...only ayah is around..and my siblings..and my friends....but the most important thing..am grateful to Allah for all the blessings...Ameen...
To my dear hubby and kids...insya'Allah until death do us part...
Breakfast was just me, maisarah and maryam..(who had earlier at 655pm..accidently ate the karipap!..pity her..)..and ayah was busy at office..later when he reached home about 10pm..he said...he had made use of the instant noodle at the office pantry...sob!sob!...
And guess what..not sure what was his thoughts during his journey back ..he brought back a little box of munchkins from dunkin donuts...just for mama!!!.... ;p
Nice day people!!..Have a nice weekend..happy window shopping!!

Ramadhan Almubarak..
To all blog hoppers and friends..wishing all of you..Happy Ramdhan and hopefully, this year around..a more meaningful and blessed!
Despite practice after practice ( during last months..)..my first day of fasting was a mixed of 'sleepy' and 'happy' and 'joints pain'.
We came back quite late the previous nite after the check up at Gombak and few shopping...kemas dan laundry segala..settled down about 12...I had wanted to turn on the alarm but I guessed..I just slipped away..mujur le dengar hujan subuh around 5 am..and really dragged myself to the kitchen...
(..Wd be best if once in a while..everything is already prepared kan!)..So the anak2 and the ayah pun dikejutkan...and the most hatred incident happenned again..coz Maisarah accidently slipped her cup of milo and ayah did that to my nescafee....aduh!!...kerja mengelap!!
Kakak: Sarah..ko nasib baik..kalau dulu..mama mesti dah pial perut akak!!!
(Surprisingly...i am more tone down now...)
At 9 am..I had wanted to finish sewing my raya dress..but went on to nap about 2 hours...dan keadaan di dalam rumah sungguh sunyi sepi...( ape hal semua orang tak mau bangkit!!)...relax la..
After zhr, slowly..at my own pace.to the kitchen...dalca ayam and kacang botol goreng,with kubis lemak and ikan goreng untuk kekanak...So what about dessert???First history I had tried to make donut which turn out to be 'bentan'...well ..too much of butter..and since ayah was so lazy to go out..(even though I had hinted so many times to him..)..we swallowed everything during breakfast...
Between cooking wd see..Maisarah and Maryam...peeping into the kitchen....complaining of hungry..etc...Shian nih....so about half an hour before berbuka...patik teman le kanak2 tuh main basikal kat luar rumah...(Ish!!...ade energy??)..and I felt a few pain at my joins..must be too long of standing at the kitchen..knowing now..I have extra weight!!
So..that was yesterday..alhamdulillah and today i might be just me, sarah and Iyam,...coz kakak shall go back to her school..and ayah..can't promise whether he cd be back to berbuka bersama..
So...what'd u suggest?...Whats for cooking??
Tata!

Just about few things...
Missing many posting as usual my friends...sorry..sorry...sorry..
Been trying to update and write..but sigh...each posting would just been end up inside either the draft..and the ..scrapped!!!
The recent school holidays had just ended..so me with ritual routine....I said to my two younger kids..
mama : ..Its now only 3 of us..or 4 if ayah won't be that busy with his u.a.t...( what a computer shortform!)
maisarah : no mama...still 4 ..even if ayah is not around.....
Yes, I'm entering 25th week now...and last scan which was taken 4 weeks ago..has made everybody in the house...excited..could not wait for another addition into the house...God bless...ayah will have a gang!!...I just couldn't believe it..but pray hard and am very thankful..and blessed.....So fellow bloggers....I am counting the days before the beginning of another episode of my life ...and I begin to worry about the preparation...already feel like a big giant balloon..with cramps hear and there...
*******************************************
My eldest daughter has decided to quit from her boarding school.....another headache...in addition to her loss of her wallet at Puduraya Bus Station....
I can't force her, can I?....and since ayah has been very busy lately....it took all me to draft out the plan...the appeal letter..to think about the pros and cons and present to ayah and Munirah..
It surely not going to be easy...but Munirah had set up her mind..what to do....
Next week will see mama and ayah going to JB...and back at Kl...to PPD gombak....
***********************************************
It has been almost a week now since I last see my car....After 3 years..I accidentally hit a pili bomba..just a few house away from my porch...macamana boleh tak nampak!!..
Saw a huge waterfall after the hit but eventually..it was from the car..and the wreckage.....had brought me to the nearest workshop....theregoes..saving for the festive/raya...or to be exact saving for a new oven......sob!sob!sob!!!..so I tell my kids..looks like this raya..mama is not going to be pinned infront of the oven...quite relax la this time..excuse..excuse..
Grounded at home...cook whatever supply there is..and waiting impatiently for the fishmonger /'lori ikan' uncle..but to no avail....( has he stopped making rounds at my block??)...and I hope my taste bud cd still swallow the eggs..and sardine....surely make me miss of the time when I can easily go out and enjoy morning roti canai...or buy goodies at pasar malam...( Insaf ni....puak depa yang nak jamah nasi pun susah...buat aku rasa insaf...)
Thanks so much to Maksu..for your assistance in ferrying Munirah to Puduraya last Sunday...
Thanks so much to my kind neighbor - Kak Ani/Ustaz Rahim...for borrowing us your cute myvi..to send Masturah to Jeram...Rasa best gak naik kete comel nih..
I called the workshop this morning..but my unser still not ready yet.( hujan la akak...kete blom kering la..etc..entah ye ..entah tidak..cis!!).......must call again tomorrow..and the day after tommorow....paster them...paster them...
****************************************
Guess these are all about a few things...not inclusive...missing my friends gathering at the Z*one and emerald..and feeling sleepy already...hopefully I wd get a good sleep tonite....for the past few weeks...I am experienceing pregnancy imsonia...and as a result of watching Emily ROse...horror movie last Wednesday ...Maisarah cd not sleep last night ( dah tak de teman..kakak2 semua dah pi balik asrama..)..and she actually cried at wee hours in the morning..scared..(sayup2 dengar..ingatkan nangis jatuh katil ke....ish!) ...so long my friend...getting myself a cup of anmum milk ( eventhough frankly I abhor milk for this time around)...ta ta!

Rejab,,Syaaban..Ramadhan..
Satu perkara yang pasti sinonim untuk semua bulan di atas adalah puasa wajib ( rukun islam yang ke5)..sunat puasa dan qada' puasa..
Jadi sudah beberapa hari...di sini menggagahkan semangat untuk meng'qada' puasa-puasa yang tertinggal pada Ramadhan yang lalu....
Dalam keadaan yang agak keletihan dengan adenya 'penghuni sementara' didlm tubuh badan ini...maka cuba sedaya upaya untuk berpuasa...mengganti puasa yang tertinggal...
Aduhai..sempat ke....macam kena siaran terus menerus aje.....setidak-tidaknya sampai hujung bulan ni..takut kalu tangguh nanti ...ade lak halangan lain...tidak baik dan tidak patut...
Itu lah..sepatutnya ganti bersama puasa sunat syawal..tapi...beraya sakan....pastu tak sangka merana 'kemabukan'..(dan anakku...kamu harus bersabar....kerana ibumu harus berpuasa....nanti mama makan banyak2 masa berbuka..)
Dan Maisarah pun sibuk nak bangun sahur....ish!!!
Mudah2an...berjaya dan diterimaNya..
Kengkawan yang sewaktunya...jgn lupa tanggungjawab kita....and Munirah..jgn lupa juga..and Maksu...and Che'da...and MakLong Anis....juga.....
"Dan sesungguhnya antara kegembiraan orang-orang yang berpuasa adalah di kala berbuka....."
I need to figure out what to have during breakfast and iftar..all these are important..to boose up the morale...motivation..motivation..
Nice weekend everyone...

jiran itu rezeki...
Masa mula-mula pindah sini, jiran sebelah rumah ni buat ubahsuai rumah....kontraktor lari..kerja separuh jalan...yang bersepahnya halaman rumah di sini juga...Itu la pasal..tak sesabar nak ubahsuai...nak cerita ape lagi pun tak kan selesai masalah bumbung belakang dan laman belakang rumah di sini yang bersepah segala sisa binaan rumahnya...DIa ade panggil INdon tolong kemaskan..tapi sekadarnya sahaja..kedekut!!!
Pas tu...dalam 6 bulan..datang pulak kontraktor lain...untuk sambung kerja-kerja yang terbengkalai....jadi boleh dibayangkan...bersepah bersama bunyi-bunyian yang kurang menyenangkan.....
LEpas 3 bulan...jiran pun pindah masuk..bersama anjing-anjing kesayangan yang selalu memecah kesunyian....
Sejak semalam...kontraktor baru datang untuk merobohkan binaan 2 tingkat ( bahagian dapur) dan membina semula binaan baru.....tidak perlu dijelaskan ketenteraman dan kebersihan udara tercemar lagi....
Apa nak buat..jiran itu rezeki.....
Nak dimarahkan kontraktor...ibarat marahkan nyamuk dan kelambu dibakar..nak dimarahkan tuan rumah..sampai hari ini tidak ade budi bahasa langsung...mintak maaf ke...maklumkan ke....
Selagi dia tak selesai masalah rumah yang senget..selagi tulah...di sini tidak akan dapat merealisasikan cadangan untuk menambah suai dapur..ape tah ladi landscaping dan sebagainya...
Nasib...nasib....jiran itu rezeki..bersyukur kalau dapat yang tidak menyusahkan.....

She is 14 today..
And yeap..we share the same zodiac...only away by couple of days..and thats my ever dearest K. Long Munirah..which is fondly known as Bambino..( well..to me only..)
To Munirah..even though u are so far away..and we cd not celebrate ur birthday..remember all of us at home...miss u soooo much....that every now and then we are waiting for your cal....( satu keajaiban!!)..and mama miss each seconds of your sight..of your 'mengada-ngada'..'manja'..and of coz..at times mama wish u wd be here to be the prefect for me...tau ajelah...adek2 kat rumah..kekadang tak makan saman..and knowing mama..I think..ageing makes mama tak kuasa nak jerit-jerit lagi dah....( mama tau..mama tau..u wd mention to your adek2..kalau mama garang macam dulu..padan le ngan semua orang..isk isk!)..but again u were also..the one yang paling 'macam-macam kenakalan'...so very different fr me even though just by looking at you..sure punyala..keturunan Tok Wan 100%..( oopsss.sorry ayah!! tidak bermaksud to discount u..hehehe!!)..One thing for sure u have the 'cool' of ayah..and itu yang buat mama very proud of you..not so like me yang very the emosi..very the gelabah..and very the 'stage fright!!!'...
Remembering few moments before u were born when mama's water bag broke suddenly broke..it was 2 weeks earlier than the schedule..and ayah was panicky..hehehe!!( itu lah..malam sebelumnya..asyik tengok bola!!!)...and I had to wait 2 and a half days at Hospital B*sar KL...it was a terrified experience moment..and the midwife nearly missed u !..while the d*ktor pelatih took his own sweet time sewing what he supposed to sew..and mama fainted infront of the public phone while trying hard to contact your ayah and nenek...plus vaguely heard the n*urse...cursing me..becoz she had to do extra work putting mama back to the bed of a third class ward...hahaha!..I had a long sleep...cdn't remember whether u were crying or not...and it was early in the next morning that ur ayah came with a plastic of hot Milo...all excited about his first product!!...(U were born on30 June..at .7.30pm khamis malam Jumaat..a blessing!!)..
See..gambar pun dah pandai posing...!!!dari kaki sebesar 2 ibu jari..sampai kaki dah melebihi saiz kasut mama....always suka posing!!just like ur Maksu too...(and mama pretty sure u r very fond of your maksu..walupun maksunya pun ala-ala glam dan banyak gila-gila..precaution precaution..sorry Maksu!).. remember..she's your nanny!!
And why no 14 reminds me of your Mak su is becoz at that very early age..her mother ( my beloved mother and ur late grandmother) started to fall ill of cancer and eventually passed away...your Maksu Ija ( Maksuku Yang Chun - as u refer her in your hp) perseveres despite many turbulent...even though many times mama caught her lost and she comes back...yearn to be pampered and to be loved....well ..she was your nanny and she admits you are sentimental to her..ewah!
Pesan ayah : "Jadilah wanita yang paling bahagia di dunia ini dengan mensyukuri setiap nikmat Allah..bersyukur..dan bersyukur...kerana apabila kita bersyukur..kita akan mengenali diri sendiri dan berusaha memperbaiki diri ke arah yang lebih baik..serta belajar untuk lebih menyayangi orang lain yang serba kekurangan.dan janganlah bersedih dengan perkara yang remeh temeh..kerana insan yang kuat sentiasa memandang ke hadapan untuk berjaya..dan hanya melihat ke belakang sebagai pengajaran"
Salam Kaseh Sayang..bersama doa dan harapan..kakak selalu berada di dalam peliharaanNya..diberikan ketajaman fikiran..akhlak yang baik..dan cemerlang dalam ape jua bidang!!..Make us proud and make ur other siblings look up to you..as angle..always...
Leaving you in the most precious loving tender care of Allah the Almighty...tata Bambino!please forgive my wrongdoings which might have hurt your feelingss..
Kenang Daku dalam doamu...mmmuuuahhh!!!Stay sweet and caring!!and remember not to forget to remember us..

The missed events ...
Way back:-
1) Report card day at Munirah's School in Johor Bahru
- She still has lots of room for improvement ( some A's, some b's, ) especially in her maths as it just on the fence...(..eeemm cdn't digest becoz mama pun tak pernah tak suka any teachers...well hate is not the correct word la..but I still make extra effort to do well especially during exams..cuma ade few..sesaje kasi markah rendah sket..just to qualify myself into extra tuition class...). Her teacher said..some of her results were quite disappointing as she was always the most participative students in the class....Tak pe lah..Kakak..cuba lagi!!!I am Sure u know your capabilites...
- Munirah has been complaining of the tight schedule between her academics and arts lesson.
- PIBG baru saje ditubuhkan..dan berbagai-bagai masalah diluahkan oleh para ibubapa...alamak seperti sama yang aku rasa pulak...hopefully...with the new committee..many things cd be done for the benefit of the students..and tak mau le..my daughter be one of the 'guinea pig' by the kementerian......akedemik nak kejar....seni nak kena tip-top..We heard that Kementerian yang berkenaan akan mengkaji dengan lebih mendalam tentang Sekolah Seni..the syllabus..the assessment based..etc....sementara itu bertahan lah anakku...and above all u know academic is first..so Study Smart....(..mmm..How mama wish I cd be there...for you..kuatkan semangat ok...)
2) Report card day at Masturah's school in Jeram
- It is quite tough for her especially on her 'madah' subjects...overall they're just above average...for she need to brush up on her Arabics..dan tulisan Jawi....( Mama seperti terpegun ....bila mama belek-belek Mas punya exam papers....)
- The teachers had commented that she is hardworking!!Alhamdulillah..
3) A brief weekend at Lumut during last school holidays..
-...Okay la...trip was quite tiring...beach was ok..food and lodging was just ok!
4) Sending off Munirah at Pudu Raya and Mas to their respective school.
5) Masturah was hospitalised for acute appendicitis...she had to undergo operation on her right tummy....and Mama has to play a good nurse...accompany her at Hospital Sg B*loh...Pity her...and Mama pun terpaksa tidur dalam keadaan yang serba tak kena for the 3 nights...But Masturah was very brave and strong....Alhamdulillah...A few days stay at hospital saw me...berbaik dengan beberapa friendly visitors..(some were quite peacock...entah kenapa!!), guards and cleaners...well.the nurse..were ok....Also..some people..diuji Allah dengan penyakit yang lebih berat...sanak saudara tidak jemu datang berkunjung...berminggu terpaksa berulang alik ke hispital..jadi ape yang kita alami anakku..hanyalah satu ujian kecil...
6) Maryam's report card day
- Yang ini macam a blessed to mama and ayah all the way..and her teacher kata she had done well..except for few careless/spelling mistakes...ye lahh..baru Tadika 6 tahun...
7) Tomorrow is Maisarah's report card day...so nanti kita update lagi la...
Each and everyone of my kids has different sets of personalities....some a fast learner..some baru nak merangkak...but a precious advice by one of my friends...pandai membawa diri, akhlak yang baik, menghormati orang tua....sudah cukup menggembirakan hati mama...I love you all my angels...
Ta!Ta! Have a nice weekend....

Almost a week..
Yeap..it's almost a week from the beginning of the school holidays...
To my friends who had been popping in..thousand apologies..
A major reason being...I found it hard to find the time to actually sit infront of the pc.....whenever i feel like to..because ..the pc has been occupied almost 12 hours per day by the kanak-kanak remaja.....and by the time they finished...myself lak rasa nak zzz...
But I'll be back for sure..and wishing you all a very happy weekend...
Tata! :D

At this wee hours..
Just had a hot milo and baked bean sandwich..at this wee hours in the morning..I am hungry...yeap..and I thought I cd easily close my eyes after a few snack..but no....after a few toss to the left and the right and afraid that I might wake ayah up..so..here am I..staring at this pc..what to write?...I miss writing many things..and where had I been??
A call from a friend yesterday morning, had shuttered me...funny..I didn't recognize m.a.'s voice....like a wake up call lak!!I guess the elevated of some hormones in me had drive me senile...nyanyuk ke???No doubt as a cause of nature...I have been feeling very tired...loss interest in many things especially readings and writings...Already I've asked uncle Raja to stop my morning newspaper subscription...tv is just watched between my daughters cartoon..and internet surfing is just restricted to finding articles on morning sickness and pregnancy at 40...( alamak!!!!scary!!!)
Hahaha!...to only some of my friends I had hinted..I am a breeder...to my siblings..and lately to my angles...and selective relative...not to neighbours yet..(..ade makcik kepoh kat sini..so I guess..when my tummy looks bloated..for surely they wd notice!!just becoz I had few miscariage..just like before..news get spread very quickly...so..this time..relax je lah!!)..
I am about to finish my first trimester...day and night been praying for all these nausea to get over....I cannot enjoy my meal...or if ate too much..the next two hours I wd feel bloated..and to make things easy..I gave up myself in toilet...threw out!!!...How lucky to some mothers..that has easy early pregnancy..but to compare with my previous..( all my 4 angles were conceived when I was still working..)..at least I cd just lie down..whenever I wanted too...nobody to chase after deadlines and reports....no smell of perfume that wd make me want to vomit....on the other hand..I just missed many choices of food out there...becoz now..I wd have to dread my feet , start the car..and roam around...searching for any suitable instant food..(enough of mee mamak, nasi berlauk, laksa, lamb chop etc...).and sometimes..tidak ade yang memenuhi citarasa..and I wd end up..buy some groceries....and cooked simple dish...and lepas tu...sibuk mencari minyak angin..bau masakan yg memualkan..
Well..I miss my late mum...at least her asam pedas terubuk shall make life..lively a bit...
Anyway..the events that I had missed since my last posting ( not in chronology ):-
1. Maryam's Krista Sport Day - she won few telematches
2. Mother's Day - received cards fr each angels with a call fr Kakak Mun
3. My friend's Wedding - Sabariah ( Ex-colleague at A*rar)
4. Visited Kakak Masturah at Jeram
5. Visited My Mil at Sepang
6. Accompanied ayah to bicycle's shop..to mend Maryam's bike
7. Maisarah's Sports Day - She won silver for a hockey telematch
8. Met Kakak Munirah at Balai Seni Lukis Negara during her school's visit
9. Maryam's Zapin performance at Smart Kids Educare
So this week is the exam week..and this time around my energy to look into Maisarah and Maryam is only 'this' much...and ayah unfortunately cd only give a hand during weekend...becoz on weekdays...by the time he came back..kids wd already settle to nite -nite ayah..
Kakak Munirah called yesterday saying that..she think she's not interested in medicine...art has captured her soul...plead me to pray for her few last mid year paper..(siap nangis lagi..isshhh..bikin mama suspen...I didn't remember crying masa nak ambik exam dulu..susah sangat kah???)
And school holidays is just around the corner...yeepiee!!!!!..hopefully ayah cd plan something for us..or rather I think let me do the planning..and ayah yang belanja!!!!..Nak tukar angin nih!!! Mana nak pergi?? Sempat lagi ke nak booking..Silap-silap...jalan-jalan dah bermalam di rumah tumpangan AhTong yang sememangnya AhTong..aduh!!!A call from a friend yesterday morning, had shuttered me...funny..I didn't recognize m.a.'s voice....like a wake up call lak!!I guess the elevated of some hormones in me had drive me senile...nyanyuk ke???No doubt as a cause of nature...I have been feeling very tired...loss interest in many things especially readings and writings...Already I've asked uncle Raja to stop my morning newspaper subscription...tv is just watched between my daughters cartoon..and internet surfing is just restricted to finding articles on morning sickness and pregnancy at 40...( alamak!!!!scary!!!)

I miss posting to my blog
Not a diligent blogger...emmm...I've been trying to think to write something....apart from my Maisarah and Maryam popping in and out..wanting for more computer fun&games..I have been occupying myself with lots...and lots of rest..whenever I could...
I went and peek at my friends' blog ..like wanshana, mrsnordin, ibu ( eventhough she seems so quiet since the winds of change..)...and others too...I guess they are all instant source of laughter that made my day...filling in my times..with their antics and anecdotes..managed to post some comments..but what about my own postings...and mrsnordin had even said that she could not open my blog..alamak..how should I know...virus or something..not sure...but I do remember instead of writing..aku dok asyik..menambah dan menukar..'lay out'....ape yang aku dah buat..gatal tangan...kah??
Well..actually I am feeling rather strange for the past few weeks....(mixed feelings actually...because..last time I had all these symptoms..it was like 7 years ago....) ..heavy, some time sleepy..some time could not sleep...suddenly nausea starts creeping in.????..poor Maisarah..she had to endure with my 'not-so-nice-mood'..during her homework session...believe me...I am quite 'tonned' down with my two younger kids..but last night..I pinched her..( it left bruises the next morning...but I apologized and applied ointment...kot la nanti silap haribulan kena tahan kerana mendera.)..she didn't cry..I guess she know she could not escape..it was her fault..to forget her numbers and calculations..and she got 20 answers wrong in her last maths test.(but sayang Maisarah..mama janji...mama akan cuba bersabar...next time...could me?).....perhaps, perhaps, perhaps......
I am scheduled for ultrasound next week..and I am scared actually as I shall turn 40 in the next couple of months..what do you think.?..( the hpt is positive.....!!jeng! jeng!) support me , please!!does it sound that some part of me is still working after years treatment of endo/adenomyosis?.Should I be happy and proud..O God..Please help!I just had one chemical preg last May, One molar preg back in 1995 and one ectopic in 1998...Thank God I have 4 surviving angles..but all sorts of things cd happen at this age???last performance perhaps???
Mean time..I guess Maisarah and Maryam..would have to entertain them self a lot..( I shall think after this of ways to make up with them.later.) .because..If I am not writing..that means I am just being lazy..sleepy.. (besides my other routine chores like cook simple dish, driving them around) and just couldn't help doing many things..except.rest..nap..and .worry..( I have left folding my laundry for three days...they are all piled up. now .hehehe!)....Ta..ta...

Malay Old Song : 2 versions
My dear Angles,
Among the songs hummed by your late grandmother was this song that I grew up listening to....The first version was by the late Saloma and the second version was by Uji Rashid..and U know..Mama wd never fail to listen to this song over and over again that I bet , it had already left some tiny places in your mind....
The sweet melody and the magic lyrics.... I guess it was part our malay old tradition...everything was not that straight forward....like ...in malay words....'Berkias'...when one is happy, is sad, is hoping..its like a word uttered cd have meanings behind it and they just show the 'Melayu' and 'Lembut'..and it was potrayed in every actions...thus we were thought since young to be 'Lemah Lembut' / soft and respect especially to the elderly...plus have patience with the younger ones..
But time flies so fast..that nowdays...we are thought to be outspoken..we are more straight forward..we speak up your mind..just be careful dear..with the words..because Allah creates each and every one of us unique..what u think is right and fancy ..at times is not right and fancied by others....but again fight for your right and befriend plus seek advice from knowledgeable people..most of all seek guidance from Allah The Almighty...if you were faced with hiccups in your life...
p/s: By coincidence this song was presented by one of the AF-6 contenders.....down my memory lane la.....**************************************
MENGAPA DIRINDU
Anak Punai Anak Merbah
Terbang turun buat sarang
Anak sungai pun berubah ini pula hati orang
Mengapa dikenang
Asal kapas jadi benang
Dari benang dibuat baju
Barang lepas jangan kenang sudah jadi orang baru
Mengapa dirindu
Kasih yang dulu tinggal dalam mimipi
Kasih yang baru simpan di hati
Kasih yang dulu tinggal dalam mimipi
Kasih yang baru simpan di hati
Selat teduh lautan tenang
Banyak labuh perahu aceh
Jangan kesal jangan kenang walau hati rasa pedih
Mengapa bersedih
Kalau pinang masih muda
Rasanya kelat sudahlah pasti
Kalau hilang kasih lama cari lain untuk ganti
Mengapa Dinanti
Patahkan tumbuh hilang berganti
Akan sembuh kalau diubati....

New assignment: The 8 things..
Thanks Wanshana dear...for tagging me..that should left me with few sleepless night of what should I jot down as a reply...wahaha!..( I dah kata kat u shana..I kan baru dalam alam blog-memblog nih..apo eden nak tulis ni..bantai jo lah!)
But what is 'tagged', ?..
1) A piece of paper nicely pinned at one's product for sale? like the picture above or..
2)Like tag along.. or tag as the game in which one child chases and tries to touch another
( courtesy of Oxford advanced learners dictionary)
3) Just another sharing things...( courtesy of Oxford advanced learners dictionary)
***********************************
But first I must admit..I wouldn't feel free if i just ignore my friends' wish...and for your information blogger hoppers..there were quite a few drafts on these topic alone..hahaha! Shana...so I think again and again I'd blog hop at ur blog lah! but wd try not to make them all the same..I'd be charged with plagiarism ..and no full marks for students who plagiarized!.eerr..do u penalty ur students, shana..or u just keep one eyes closed.nop!..I don't think so..You being among the strict academician..creature on earth!!..Must have a standard kan!..If not..how would the quality of the grads be judged then?..(Apa daaa...merepek meraban ni!!!!!!!!)
o..oo...ok..
8 things I'm passionate about:-
1. Marriage & Family - Continuous improvement bla..bla..bla..
2. Children - their welfare, study, discipline and manners ( even though there were times ..probably becoz worries exceed everything..I just close one eye..and let them go unnoticed, free market!!)
3. Surfing internet - on line reading maa...for news and articles especially related to the first two above.
4. I love baking ( making use of the utensils left behind by my late mum) and sold them during last festive seasons ( make money out of your hobby..dear , even though not much becoz one man's show cd only produce these much and these much..lack economies of scale): they include kek lapis sarawak and kek lapis rempah, kek gulung, kueh tat tradisional, Biskut Semperit/Dahlia, Biskut Corn flakes, Biskut Mama Carries, Biskut Choc Chips....But sadly this no 4 has to be put off for a while..the reason being..my oven had gone 'kaput'/electric short circuit some where last 2 weeks....and Ayah has so far been quiet about it...sigh...so my dear kids...if you feel like home made pizza, caramel pudding ( yg slalu tak hangus tu..), bread pudding,plain cake..or even roasted chicken..then..shout out loud to your ayah la...(ooo..If I were to bake again then I'll have the picturs of my masterpiece..if and If Icd get hlod of the camera)
5. Sewing ( this is also courtesy of my late mum sewing machine which she had bought in 1970..)..I am not a professional for that matter but I love to sew Baju Kurung Raya for my anglesand Baju Kurung/ Jubah Sekolah ooppss...excuse the not-so-pro cuttings...so far non of my kids had complaint but my eldest has started to begin to like tailored one..ya lah..mama tak pandai buat kebaya what!!and sorry Ayah..my tailoring skills is not extended to your Baju Melayu daa....but for those basic..I must thank my SRT teacher, my dedicated friends like Noraini and most of all...My late Mak!..Normally ..for all these effort...nanti ayah musti belanja punya lah!
6. Window shopping...poor ayah has to patiently wait in between taking care of those running little yankies..becoz mama's eyes shall only focus on items to buy...to choose..from a booth to another...to another..until Ayah wd asked : "Dah sudah ke?" or "Dah jumpa?"...err...kaki dah penat...or.."Apa kata pi surau dulu?"..what???
7. Budget - Being a full time mother/house wife..of course money...money..budget..and budget...becoz whenever ayah got his pay..he will give me some amount..for everything...so if I 'joli sakan'...nanti lagi one week nakdapat another pay...I'd have to justify if I request for another sum??? Jury?
8. Baby??...jeng..jeng...(this one I shall elaborate later....Insya'Allah..)

Please forgive my grammatical error and excuse my emotional remark...I am only human with dreams and mistakes..
Have a good Day my fellow bloggers...Love u all and take care...
o..oo...ok..8 things I'm passionate about:-
1. Marriage & Family - Continuous improvement bla..bla..bla..
2. Children - their welfare, study, discipline and manners ( even though there were times ..probably becoz worries exceed everything..I just close one eye..and let them go unnoticed, free market!!)
3. Surfing internet - on line reading maa...for news and articles especially related to the first two above.
4. I love baking ( making use of the utensils left behind by my late mum) and sold them during last festive seasons ( make money out of your hobby..dear , even though not much becoz one man's show cd only produce these much and these much..lack economies of scale): they include kek lapis sarawak and kek lapis rempah, kek gulung, kueh tat tradisional, Biskut Semperit/Dahlia, Biskut Corn flakes, Biskut Mama Carries, Biskut Choc Chips....But sadly this no 4 has to be put off for a while..the reason being..my oven had gone 'kaput'/electric short circuit some where last 2 weeks....and Ayah has so far been quiet about it...sigh...so my dear kids...if you feel like home made pizza, caramel pudding ( yg slalu tak hangus tu..), bread pudding,plain cake..or even roasted chicken..then..shout out loud to your ayah la...(ooo..If I were to bake again then I'll have the picturs of my masterpiece..if and If Icd get hlod of the camera)
5. Sewing ( this is also courtesy of my late mum sewing machine which she had bought in 1970..)..I am not a professional for that matter but I love to sew Baju Kurung Raya for my anglesand Baju Kurung/ Jubah Sekolah ooppss...excuse the not-so-pro cuttings...so far non of my kids had complaint but my eldest has started to begin to like tailored one..ya lah..mama tak pandai buat kebaya what!!and sorry Ayah..my tailoring skills is not extended to your Baju Melayu daa....but for those basic..I must thank my SRT teacher, my dedicated friends like Noraini and most of all...My late Mak!..Normally ..for all these effort...nanti ayah musti belanja punya lah!
6. Window shopping...poor ayah has to patiently wait in between taking care of those running little yankies..becoz mama's eyes shall only focus on items to buy...to choose..from a booth to another...to another..until Ayah wd asked : "Dah sudah ke?" or "Dah jumpa?"...err...kaki dah penat...or.."Apa kata pi surau dulu?"..what???
7. Budget - Being a full time mother/house wife..of course money...money..budget..and budget...becoz whenever ayah got his pay..he will give me some amount..for everything...so if I 'joli sakan'...nanti lagi one week nakdapat another pay...I'd have to justify if I request for another sum??? Jury?
8. Baby??...jeng..jeng...(this one I shall elaborate later....Insya'Allah..)
8 Things I want to do before I die:-

Ageing?? Shortsightedness??
For the last couple of months, I've had difficulty reading my sms on the cellphone, pricking thread into needle, reading newspaper less than 1 feet, enjoying the colours of my food at less than 0.5 feet too..so what's going on?
I searched and read religiously on eyes problems...etc..etc..
In conclusion...this is indeed another symptom of ageing...Innalillah....
Don't worry..Be happy...Ayo sudah tua la..
Care to join me shopping for a new pair of reading glasses..??.Err..what do they normally asked for the best glasses for one who is shortsighted, could't stand glare esp during night driving..and dry eye also? (..mmm..asking too much?)

I'm feeling ..its not unusual..here's sharing a song ...and to my kids..this is especially out of the world..yeahhh...your mama is a big fan of retro what..enjoy..
Here's the lyrics too..
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual it happens every day
no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Have a nice weekend every body!

Wishes fulfilled..yeeaayy!
Helloooo..everybody...I am back on the track..
See...I told ya...This one "IT+workaholic" kindhearted person...has solved my problem...
See...I told ya...This one "IT+workaholic" kindhearted person...has solved my problem...
I remembered being told by one of my friends that men do not have to go far to sharpen his problem solving skills..everything in the house offers him good subjects....: D
I am so happy+grateful...
So..lets see...where did I stop?
I am so happy+grateful...
So..lets see...where did I stop?
Longing for the news
Sometimes I wonder...if I am thought so often as I do ..(.never fail.) .towards them...
I kind of surprise when being told. during the last school holidays ..:"the warden said we cd not write letters la mama..becoz, the system is not there yet...no one is available yet to post our letters.....and phone booth is only available during evening between 5-6 only and Saturday weekend, ..and becoz of the tight time table and at times long queue..payah le nak tepon mama.tapi mama jgn risau le..kitorang ok...""
Say what??
Back then during my school years..I remembered my friends and me ..normally during those little time before lights shd be put off...or secretly during prep....each and every one us..(at least for those next to my compartment).wd quietly scribble something...No matter how the letters shall be read later by the prefects or teacher in charged..we found solace in writing...
...And I do think those letters help a lot in sharpening our writing skill...(tak kira le ..merapu ..merepek..meraban)..I do think also..when receiving letters from my parents...or friends..or penpals..(he..he..I think the latter were most welcome...well.. talk about exchange exam papers kunun!..the rest is self-explained!!)..they really played as a boosting factor..for the morale..etc..
..Also..I think everybody was looking forward for their names to be announced at dinner for registered latter, parcel, what-so-ever
But I guess..those were the days..now every school probably opt for new system...for the better...I presume..
So..as a mother who misses so much of the children ...what more can I hope for??
Crazy I am..if I heard beep for sms or the phone suddenly ringing..I wd go frantic...(even when being in the t*****)...frustrated if it turned out to be fr unexpected source, e.g: celcom announcing my prepaid credit wd expire in the next couple of days...alamak!!bowink!
It has been quite some time now...as a result of a long break ..I can see that my handwriting is like 'cakar ayam'..but I still write..even though...the chances of getting a reply is very slim...
...But to my dear kak long and kak ngah..if u happened to drop by your computer lab...at least do not rush to open you myspace, friendster., whatever..la... Do care to drop me a line..pls...I know u r online at ym...even though u r invisible..I simply know...mother has instincts what!!!jeng-jeng-jeng!!
Penantian satu seksa yang tidak tertanggung..
Oleh tubuh ku yang kering dan layu...
Kepastian satu penawar, dalam suka dan duka
Yang meniti hidupku...
~ excerpt form lyrics : Penantian by Zubir Ali/Harmoni~

OOOooo Why?
Last night my daughter - M3 suddenly crashed a news: " Mama...mouse problem...tak syok la.."
Of coz, it aint the mouse as it sounds...
But one of the computer devices at home suddenly not responding...
So thats it..why now??? OOoo...why?...(hujung-hujung bulan ni...aduhai..not in my budget...)
So ..what to do??
Funny that now I am sitting in front of my pc..trying to compose a post without a mouse..can u imagine..I just have to crack my mind and fingers actually..to patiently tab and tab....and tab agian..(Right from switching on this computer..finding the icon..connect to internet....this is certainly the least I expect to happen...)oopppsss...I just passed that icon..so ...shift tab and the cursor wd move back..but how about reducing the window...alamak..ini bikin saya banyak susah hati....bikin banyak kerja..lama kelamaan rasanya hampir putus asa....lambatnye...I cd go berserk like this...pls don't laugh!!
Again , I am announcing here..sorry...apologies....until I cd find a new mouse...
Resting my case....Shall miss every one!!Nice day..
Do not forget to remember me...( I must find another hobby for the mean time...)
A day without internet....poor me.....
Ta! Ta! Not sure whether this shall go through...Cross my fingers...

Tidak sempat..? (haven't got the chance)???
During my working years...I used to jot down a 'to-do-list' in my journal..normally early in the morning..before I start whatever task to be done that morning..as I ve been told..my list should specify very clearly:-
- Priority and most important and urgent
- Important but not urgent
- Urgent
- Important
So..years after that and now a full time mother at home..I thought planning is important..and time management is priority and stress management is urgent...
But who'd care...what more..everything cd go hay wire..especially when one are managing people..and please..those HR practitioner out there..please give me a pad at my back..no..not on my shoulder..please..as I think ..I carry enough burden.
Grounded at home...I used to think I could handle everything...especially the 'kebajikan' of my kids and to put up to my En Musa's expectation...to pay extra attention to my kids' studies...(Amboi...main perintah-perintah lak!)..pas tu nak kena pulak maintain cun bila suami pulang..kena berlakun jadi isteri solehah...
As there are so many things in my head..i mean..err..the to-do-list...which one to do first...some times they all got jumble up and down..Senang cerita...buat ape yang termampu je lah...banyak yang tak sempat...haven't got the chance to complete many task...By the end of the day..I normally seek Allah's forgiveness..for my all wrong doings of the day..especially if I did not carry out my obligations properly...Aku hanya insan biasa...aduhai..
Serupa juga dengan suamiku itu...yang antara paling aku nak komen..adalah kerana tidak pernah sempat menjenguk blog ini...sekali dulu semasa baru 'launched'..kot..
Macamano tu!!Ape eden nak buek dengan spesis makhluk ini...?
Itu lah..eden dah kato yang suami eden seorang penggiat IT yang sangat komited...tak percayo..
Ini bermakna..jari2 ini akan lebih laju mengetuk papan kekunci...meluahkan rasa hati..yang terbuku..yang terpendam...harapan..cinta..gejolak rasa, gurindam jiwa dan air mata..hu..hu...
Tapi sempena cuti maulidul rasul hari ini..eden ade gak sound kat suami eden yang pencinta IT sesungguhnya itu..(mujur bukan pencinta wanita lain yg tidak sepatutnya!!...alamak kalau ade pun..eden pasrah la oiii)..bahawa:-
Ampun maaf..dari hujung rambut sampai hujung kaki...almaklum..syurga para isteri di tapak kaki suami...(Omak den pun pernah kato dulu...Ekau yang pilih sendiri..La..ai..raso je lah..jgn ngeluh panjang-panjang....)..

Tazkirah ..A wife...
This article was posted into my ex-school egroup and I thot..why not share in this blog..a reminder..as well..a tazkirah...a good example of the Prophet Muhammad S.a.w..Salam Maulidul Rasul
A talk by Shaykh Abdullah Adhami
By getting married you are not just getting a wife,
you are getting your whole world.
From now until the rest of your days
your wife will be your partner, your companion,
and your best friend.
She will share your moments, your days, and your years.
She will share your joys and sorrows, your successes and
failures, your dreams and your fears.
When you are ill, she will take the best care of you;
when you need help, she will do all she can for you;
When you have a secret, she will keep it;
when you need advice, she will give you the best advice.
She will always be with you: when you
wake up in the morning the first thing your eyes will
see will be hers;
during the day, she will be with you, if for a
moment she is not with you by her physical body,
she will be thinking of you,
praying for you with all her heart, mind, and soul;
when you go to sleep at night, the last thing your eyes will see will
be her; and when you are asleep you will still see her in your dreams.
In short, she will be your whole world and
you will be her whole world.
The best description that I personally have ever read
describing the closeness of the spouses to each other
is the Qur'anic verse which
says: "they are your garments and you are their
garments"
(Surah Al Baqarah 2:187).
Indeed, spouses are like garments to each other
because they provide one another with the protection, the comfort, the
cover, the support, and the adornment that garments provide to humans.
Just imagine a journey in the winter of
Our spouses provide us with the same level of comfort, protection, cover,
and support in the journey of our lives on this earth as garments would
do in the Alaskan journey.
The relationship between the spouses is the most
amazing of all human relations:
the amount of love and affection,intimacy and
closeness, mercy and compassion, peace and
tranquillity that fills the hearts of the spouses is simply inexplicable.
The only rational explanation for these most amazing of all human
feelings is that: it is an act of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala,
"And Allah has made for you Mates (and Companions) of your own nature ..."
(Surah Al Nahl 16:72)
Only our Almighty Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in His Infinite Power,
Boundless Mercy, and Great Wisdom can create and ingrain these
amazing and blessed feelings in the hearts of the spouses.
In fact Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is reminding those who
search for His signs in the universe that these feelings in the
hearts of the spouses are among the signs that should guide humans
to His existence as He says in the Qur'an,
"And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among
yourselves that you may dwell in tranquillity with them and He has put love
and mercy between your hearts: verily in that are signs for
those who reflect." (Surah Al Rum 30:21)
But Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala knows that
the human heart is not a static entity,
it is sometimes weak and at times dynamic.
Feelings can and do change with time.
Love may wither and fade away.
The marital bond might weaken if not properly cared for.
Happiness in marriage cannot be taken for granted;
Continuous happiness requires constant giving from both sides.
For the tree of marital love to remain alive and keep growing,
the soil has to be sustained, maintained, watered and nurtured.
Remember that our Prophet Muhammad Salallaahu 'aliahi
wa'sallaam had found the time to go out to the desert and race
with his wife Aisha. She out ran him but later
after she had gained some weight, he out ran her.
Remember that the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi
wa'sallaam took his wife to watch the young Ethiopians playing and dancing
their folk dances. The show of emotions is necessary to keep the
marital bond away from rusting and disintegrating.
Remember that you will be rewarded by Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala for any emotions you show to your wife as the Prophet
Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam said
"one would be rewarded for anything that he does
seeking the pleasure of Allah even the food that he
puts in the mouth of his wife."
Never underestimate the importance of seemingly little
things as putting food in your wife's mouth,
opening the car's door for her,etc.
Remember that the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi
wa'sallaam used to extend his knee to his wife to assist her up to ride
the camel.
Try to always find some time for both of you to pray
together. Strengthening the bond between you and Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala is the best guarantee that your own marital bond would
always remain strong.
Having peace with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will always
result in having more peace at home.
Remember that the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam gave glad
tidings for those couples who wake up at night to pray
together. The Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam even urged the
spouse who rises up first to wake the other spouse up even by
throwing cold water on his/her face.
Always try your best to be good to your wife by words and by deeds.
Talk to her, smile to her, seek her advice, ask for her opinion,
spend quality time with her and always remember that the Prophet
Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam said
"the best of you are those who are best to their wives."
Finally, it is common that spouses vow to love and
honor their spouses until death do them part.
I do believe that this vow is good or even great, but not enough!
It is not enough that you love your wife.
You have to love what she loves as well.
Her family, her loved ones must also become your loved ones.
Don't be like my colleague who was unhappy about his wife's parents
coming to visit for few weeks.
He candidly said to her "I don't like yourparents."
Naturally, she angrily looked at him straight in theeye and said "
I don't like yours either"... Also, it is not enough that you love
her until death do you part.
Love should never end and we do believe
there is life after death where those who did
righteousness in thisworld will be joined by their spouses
(Surah Al Zukhruf 43:70) and offsprings.
The best example in this regard is the Prophet
Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam whose love for Khadija, his wife of 25
years extended to include all those she loved and continued even after
her death. It was many years after her death and he never forgot her
and whenever a goat was slaughtered in his house he would send
portions of it to Khadija's family and friends and whenever he felt that
the visitor at the door might be Khadija's sister Hala, he would
pray saying "O Allah let it be Hala."
