TO all my blogger friends..Happy Hari Raya....yeepiee...

Recap of 2007 last few days ...and now..

Sentimental I am..but I bet every mother on earth would not want to be parted with their children..and school holidays coming to an end..Moon already had half of her things packed inside boxes which she had succeeded in persuading ayah to buy..While Shua every now and then peep into my room while I was busy repairing her 'jubah' and all clothing for her new school.and Lala was also anxious checking when would her school uniform be ready..and Iyam as usual an attention seeker.

Between those stressful days..I am between the-mother-who-prepare-the-simplest-dishes and the-wife-who-decide-on-the-things-to-buy-and-prepare/budget...and also the-person-who-sleep-like-a-log whenever time permits..We really occupied each other before that very day...

Gone are the days to celebrate Hari Raya Haji. This year mama 'cuti masak'..no lontong..no sambal tumis..no rendang nor ketupat..Ayah had suggested us to join the 'kariah surau' for gotong-royong-korban..and later savour the dishes prepare by the chef..menu i.e. beef soup, fried vege, beef cooked with soya ketchup..and all of us had a good afternoon nap after lunch.Bravo to Kakak Mun for covering mama during 'cutting meat' session..as usual mama is like allergic to the fresh'aroma' of lembu..isshhh mual cam mengandung le pulak!!That's why mama seldom cook red meat..an escape actually as ayah also has to 'berpantang' for his gout cases...shian..But a trip to a boastful steak or lamb chop is always one of my wish list.

Early morning of the 25th Dec (and our neighbour enjoyed the chrismas carol...) we had to flock to Klang for parents; briefing and than straight to Jeram to enrol Kakak Shua..It was raining cats and dogs...alhamdulillah rezeki..and kakak Moon showing her expertise in organising Shua wardrobe...Mama masa kat S*F dulu buat sendiri je...he he..Bye Bye Kakak Shua..Mama hope Kakak Shua could easily adjust yourself with the new environment, new friends..be independent.be patient with all the challenges to be a 'H***zah...Mama tried to control her tears...cool bebeh!

31 Dec..ayah came back late fr office..mama managed to bake a simple orange cake..Happy Birthday Ayah!!and we stayed in front of the tv..counting new year. watching fire crackers..without Kakak Shua...Mama beginning to feel it....

1st Jan 2008.trip to Johor was as early as 7am..Amboi..penuhnye gerabak kereta..Stopped by Mak Uda's house ( Musa's Sister) to fetch Mak to Sepang..Musa was very patient with Mak.(.Mak had to stay almost 2 months at Mak Teh's house after she accidentally fell in the toilet and had few ruptured her back bone)...Reached Sepang around 12 and after a short chitchat with Mak Tam we start to head to JB..Nice lunch at Pagoh before Jusco Tebrau as Kakak Moon need to buy few stationeries/workbook..entah ape-ape lagi..make ayah risau..Called Ch'Midah and thankfully we wouldn't have to check into any rumah tumpangan ..Ayah was tired of driving..zzzzz and mama busy catching up with ch'Midah.

2nd Jan - Kakak Moon register at Sekolah S*ni JB..It was drizzling and tata Kakak Moon.and my tears rolled down..again..this time heavier..ayah let me cool down..after two hours..ayah pun tegur.."Mama dah OK?"..JUst when I thought I could control..walla....banjir lak..hu..hu...Earlier Lala and Iyam had dozed off..and 4 of us went back to Rawang..

Now almost 3 weeks into 2008..When ayah off to work..I am left at home with Lala and Iyam..I do miss both of you Kakak Moon and Kakak Shua...my 2 big angels..If last year the 'loneliness' wasn't that bad..but this time around..only Allah knows how I miss talking to both of you, sharing the laughter, accompany each other watching the cerekarama etc,,,,sharing the house chores and assisting me with whatever kind of assistance any daughters would do to their mother.

This was how my late mum felt...

This is reality...when the time comes..if Allah permits..my little angels would start to crawl out from mama and ayah and your journey of life as a teenager begin.Later into adulthood.. Mama pray that both of you shall always be under the guidance of Allah and His precious tender loving care.

Salam Kaseh Sayang anak-anakku..Kenang Daku Dalam Doamu..
