The Talking of MamaEmmy

Mother's Day Incidents

2010-05-06T19:22:00.003+08:00

Incident 1

Just last week I got the time to spend with MAK. So I brought her for some shopping spree together with Yayah.

We started with lunch at Eiman's KopiTiam. It was a simple lunch but delicious.
Right after that we went to do the shopping spree. While shopping, she saw this nice non-stick 'kuali'. She asked me to check the price.
I checked and told her it was RM21.90. She was super excited. She claimed it was cheap as the 'kuali' is quite a quality product.

So when arrived at cashier counter, the so-called cheap 'kuali' turned out to be RM81.90. She gulped in shocked. Her eyes went wide. She panicked. But the cashier already punched the numbers and we have got no choice but pay for the now superbly expensive 'kuali'.

Then yayah and I agreed to buy the kuali as Mother's Day Gift. Immediately you see her face enlightened and her happiness glow through her not-so-big-eyes!
She got a Mother's Day gift in advanced and by chance... hehehehe

Mak - Happy Mother's Day - I love YOU with all my heart!!! Thank you for being there when I need you.

Incident 2

Last night Nurul Ain requested for extra money (on top of her daily allowance).
Please follow the mother & daughter conversation :
Ain : Mama, can I have more pocket money tomorrow?
Mama: Huh, untuk apa?
Ain : Alah, takde apa... I want to buy present for you for Mother's Day
MAma's reaction - almost fainted but with a big smile on my face
Mama : Oh yeke... how much do you want?
Ain : Hmmmm, tak banyak RM1 je...
Mama : Huh, nak beli apa dengan RM1 je?
Ain : Adalah...
Mama : OKlah, I give you tomorrow

Today - afternoon, before she went to school, I received call from Ain again with the below conversation
Ain : Mama, I want additional RM0.50. Can ar?
Mama : Huh, untuk ape pulak nih?
Ain : To buy another gift la..
Mama : Ish, tak payah la dik. Satu je dah cukup...
Ain : Alah mama, all my friends buy 2 presents for their mommies... so I also want to buy another one for you....
Mama : Oklah... ask kakak to take the money from the savings bag ok...
Ain : Ok, tq mama!

Later - just a while ago (when she returned from school), she called me, with the following conversation...
Ain : Mama, I already bought the 2 presents for you...
Mama : Oh is it? Ok lah, then you give me this Sunday lah, when we celebrate Mother's Day...
Ain : Ok, but you must help me ...
Mama : Help you with what???
Ain : Help to buy for me gift wrapper and then help me to wrap the presents, ok!!!
Mama's reaction - garu kepala yang tak gatal sambil tersengih2 kambing...

My daughter - so eager to celebrate Mother's Day!!!

RETRACT

2010-05-06T19:19:00.002+08:00

hmmmm... if you know what this means, it is exactly what I have to do now!
again, the current feeling is neither happy nor sad...

I have no choice as changes have been made (hopefully for the better). Thus, retract!!!!

I am counting my days here...

2010-04-27T13:54:00.002+08:00

31st May 2010 - that will be my last day here in this company that I have served more than 13 years (cumulatively).

Shared tears, sweat, laughter, ups & downs.
Been kicked around like a ball.
Been taking in a lot of rubbish.
Been swallowing in a lot of shit.
Been putting aside my pride.
Been kicking many asses.
Been throwing many tantrums.
Been sick over many matters.

Time to leave. Yes, 31st May 2010, shall be THE DAY!!!!

I am crazy over this guy and his songs are beautiful

2010-04-27T13:47:00.004+08:00

You guys must listen to his music!
It is so tarbiah to the soul... subhanallah!!

Hold My Hand Lyrics
By: Maher Zain
I hear the flower’s kinda crying loud
The breeze’s sound in sad
Oh no
Tell me when did we become,
So cold and empty inside
Lost a way long time ago
Did we really turn out blind
We don’t see that we keep hurting each other no
All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun,
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we have left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile
On the new blooded playgrounds
Oh no
How could we ignore , heartbreaking crying sounds
And we’re still going on
Like nobody really cares
And we just stopped feeling all the pain because
Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun,
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we have left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you
No matter how far I might be
I’m always gonne be your neighbor
There’s only one small planet where to be
So I’m always gonna be your neighbor
We cannot hide, we can’t deny
That we’re always gonna be neighbors
You’re neighbor, my neighbor
We’re neighbors
So hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what have left behind
So hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what have left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you

IT IS NOT APRIL FOOL's DAY

2010-04-06T17:11:00.000+08:00

THIS IS IT!

2010-04-01T18:39:00.003+08:00

It took me a good solid 5 long freaking months to build the guts and the strength to finally put my feet on the ground and decide - THIS IS IT!!!

I gave my 'love letter' to my beloved boss with a clear mind. This time, no emotions involved. I gather all the guts and the strength to talk him out and make him understand of my final decision.

Yes, he didn't let me go off scott free easily. And as usual, he managed to make me cry. Of course I cried, calmly. I was very focused and knew what I wanted. I will not burn the bridge. I love the company but the working environment is no longer conducive. Now very political, and it is as bad as the actual politics situation in Perak.

Now, I dont really feel good neither I am happy. The feeling is more neutral and I have to put on my thinking cap, What's Next!

My 100th Posting after almost 4 years!

2010-03-05T14:40:00.003+08:00

Back in 2006, on 26th February - I started to blog.
My first title was - Welcome to the New Home of MamaEmmy!!

It took me a solid 4 years to reach to my 100th post.

Of course, in between, there were loooooong silence - due to:
- time factor (lame)
- insufficient ideas (very lame)
- nothing to blog about (excuse)
- too busy with work
- lost interest in writing suddenly
- just dont feel like blogging

Finally, after the major struggling of all of the above, now I am writing and posting my 100th post!!! Congratulations to me... :-)

And I slipped again....

2010-03-05T14:26:00.002+08:00

Just last month - on 8th February 2010 (to be precise) I fell flat on my chest.
And I had 3 full loaded bags on both my shoulders.
Can you imagine the impact?
Was it painful? Not immediately though, but a few hours later, I started to cramp all over the body.

The very next day - after a night of restlessness and uncomfortable sleep due to the pain - I had bruises on my whole right side of my body.

It took me almost a week to recover from the fall - the bruises, the pain, the limping, the body ache...

And just last night, I came home almost 10pm. Late again!
But this round, my children were still up and were waiting for me, to accompany them to have late dinner.

So I rushed to the bathroom to quickly clean myself. In the midst of being hasty and hurry, I slipped again.
I was not sure whether it was because my bathroom floor was slippery or because I just couldn't balance myself well.

There I was, like sebiji nangka busuk, seated on the floor, crying after a loud thump!
My children came rushing to the door and knocked very hard until they heard my reply. Then only they stopped knocking!

Today, I am limping again, for the second time this year, in less than a month!

One day (which is very soon, I think), I will rot not because of my age that I am getting old, but more of the falls that I had during my entire life... several hundred times... countless times!!!!

News.... it either kills you or excites you...

2010-03-02T19:53:00.003+08:00

I heard 2 news of the same content today...

both about pregnancy... and both happened out of wedlock... gosh!! So much of our current education of being very open and westernised and modern!!! Nauzubillahi minzalik...

Ya allah, jauhkan keluargaku dari segala ujian & malapetaka sebegini rupa. Aku tak sanggup untuk menghadapinya...

Ya allah, kau limpahi barakah & hidayah mu kepada kami supaya kami sentiasa berada di jalan yang benar...

Ya allah, kau kurniakan kepada kami semua ketaqwaan and keimanan supaya kami sentiasa dijauhi dari segala maksiat dunia...

Amiiin, yarabbal Alamin!!!

EXTREME on both ends....

2010-02-23T10:40:00.003+08:00

The current weather is reallyx100 HOT! Astaghfirullahal 'azim...

While driving to work this morning, makes me wonder of the situation of weather-bonkersness (is there such word) here in this country...

Early of the year (january till april-may)- the heat is super crazy until it can dehydrate the entire living things in this side of the region... yesterday, the weather registered at its highest, 38 degrees celsius... hello, its fever everywhere!!!!

You can see forest starts to burn on its own... trees alongside the road start to look brown, the earth is dry and even the rivers water level have dropped to a very alarming level... DRY!!!

Then, towards the end of the year (october till december) monsoon season everywhere, flash flood happens, and it happens in the middle of the city like Kuala Lumpur... what more rural places... you see water everywhere... the sea will be accompanied with huge waves that roar every second, the rain pours without feeling guilty, non-stop through out the day...

Things happen always on the extreme note...
When it is hot - DRY SPELL!
When it rains - FLOOD SPILL!

Since our new home has no air-cond to help us sleep throughout the night comfortably... the four of us now sleep right underneath the vigorous working ceiling fan (poor fella - working 24/7)... and also with a little bit of help of some sprinkling water here and there...

Maybe tonight hubby wants to shop for a new set of air-cond for the new home... yeayyyy!!!

Fulfilling Weekend....

2010-02-22T09:19:00.003+08:00

Saturday - 19th Feb 2010

Lazed at home while waiting for Khalis complete his cross country activity....
Afterwhich we went back to our 'resort home' and continued to lepak until end of the day....

Sunday - 20th Feb 2010

After Subuh, did a brisk walk until it was almost 9am... almost 2.5hrs of jog-a-walk... unbelievable (at least for me)... then went to pasar to buy some stuff for lunch, planned to cook at mom's new nest...

then, brought my kids for a good swimming dip, which is very near to mom's place... had a good swim for almost 1.5hours...

rushed back to mummy's house, cooked and had a very late lunch.

then, lepak all the way till night!

Whooaaaa, never felt so fulfilling in getting so many activities squeezed in a day for quite a while now... and I think now, I want to make it a habit!!!

SWIMMING & SWIMMING & SWIMMING & SWIMMING....

2010-02-18T15:39:00.004+08:00

My children and the pool is an unseparable unit.
Wherever we go, whenever there is a pool, they will be there in no time!!!!

eh tapi perasan tak, towards the end ade something yg juga terapung di air... hahahaha

The Sleeping Fantasy....

2010-02-18T15:27:00.002+08:00

Notice the SIMILARITIES????

Kuih CARA...

2010-02-18T15:22:00.003+08:00

Not sure whether you have heard of this kuih before, but I learnt the recipe from good ol MIL...

Hubby bought the molder and i decided to try to make this kuih... it was not a challenged at all... I never thought making this kuih is this simple...

The molder...

Then you put in the tepung & the gula....

Cover it for less than 10 minutes......

And .... tada... the kuih CARA is ready to be eaten... simply delicious!!!

CNY... time to rest n relax...

2010-02-18T14:56:00.005+08:00

many of us are still celebrating CNY... it has been a very HOT CNY, i must say!

but here i am taking this quiet environment an opportunity to update my blog...
there are only a few of us... coming to work is a breeze... how i wish everyday is like today... no jam, no fighting of switching lanes at toll plaza, no honking, no lifting up middle finger... everything is so smooth and beautiful... LOVELY!!!

My parents have finally settled down in their new 'nest'. They have even finished unpackings their over-abundance stuffs... i am in state of disbelief myself... how could they settled unpacking within 4 days ONLY!!! I thought it would have taken them YEARS to finish unpacking.... how wrong I was and how determined my parents in cleaning up their new home!

I myself have settled down in my new house too... I mean my 2nd home... the home where we will nest during weekdays... we have a complete basic necessities...

1- fridge (courtesy of hubby)
2- washing machine (courtesy of MIL)
3- gas cooker (courtesy of mua)
4- wardrobes (courtesy of my mom)
5- tables & chairs & sofas (courtesy of my sisters, hubby & mom)
6- tv (my own la)
7- we even have aquarium - courtesy of my dad... and hubby & my kids are the happiest person on earth... they have new pets to play with!!!

so, hopefully, happy family in their new homes, with new hope and new light!!! Amiin ya rabbal alamin!!!!

The Before & After Effect

The living room - when we first stepped into the place

The same living room - after the miracle touch

The kitchen - damn too small, i complaint...

The kitchen - after the soft touch of dear hubby...

The pet that has changed owner - Ain is very happy, something to look forward too everytime she comes back from school...

kata hati - kata hikmah - kata orang-orang tua

2010-02-01T18:26:00.001+08:00

ikut kata hati, mati
ikut kata hikmah, merana diri
ikut kata orang-orang tua, siksa

ntahlah....

yang penting, ikut mana yang patut. Buang yang keruh, ambil yang jernih (eh, tu kata pepatah melayu!)

what goes around comes around....

2010-01-25T18:34:00.002+08:00

August 2009 - January 2010 (5 months) : that is how big my tummy is IF I am pregnant...

We have passed the 26th day of the new year.
How time flies.
As I was reading my own blog from the previous postings, I have come up with an analysis of myself :-

1- I have attempted to throw towel 3 times and it all happened towards end of the year (Oct-Dec) period. Something for me to ponder - WHY????
2- I have almost the same issue and problem during the last 3 months of every year for 4 consecutive year. Hmmmm....
3- Most of the things that I wrote were more negatives than positives.
4- Too many eatings activities were posted - typical daily blogger.
5- A lot of ramblings of the unnecessary - daily activities that went well and didn't go well.

Thus, with the above findings, do you think I will change the way I write?
The answer is so OBVIOUS... NO. Why - because I am writing from my heart.
And am I still in the same company I was in for the past 3 times when i posted i wanted to leave?
The answer is YES. Why - because no matter how much I hated the people I worked with (notice the past tense in both verbs), I love the job and the things I am doing....

But relating to the title of this post, GUYS, trust me, it is so obvious and it is currently happening to me, again and again and again and again and again and again......

Ramadhan kembali lagi...

2009-08-24T14:39:00.002+08:00

Kali ini ramadhan begitu sayu di hati ku...
Aku terasa begitu melimpah kurniaan Allah kepada ku sekeluarga...
Begitu mencurah hidayah yang diturunkan, Alhamdulillah..

Akan ku gunakan sepenuhnya InsyaAllah, Ya Allah, ya rahman ya rahim...
Terasa begitu nikmat... walaupun belum sehari aku berpuasa...

MasyaAllah.... betapa besar barakah Mu di bulan yang penuh kemuliaan... syukran jazilan!

oh gosh...

2009-07-12T22:32:00.004+08:00

Weekend was not good...

1. screw ups with many activities planned

6. body aching.. my back hurts
7. come to think of it, work hard but still got screw ups, whose at fault?
8. now wondering, am i doing the right thing or have i been doing things right?

Father's Day - celebrated the Mansor's Way!!!

2009-06-24T10:37:00.003+08:00

Last Sunday, we celebrated father's day in a unique way.... we, the mansor's daugthers all gathered at our parents' house, and did what we were good at, cook, cook & cook!!!!

We had lunch at my parents' front porch... good home cooked food.

We had fun cooking them and gasakking all the food...

A toast to the greatest men in my life (my beloved dad & darling hubby) and of course to the head chef in the house - the great Mdm Siti!!!!

I love you both deep!

Father's Day ... dedicated to all the GREAT fathers in my family

2009-06-24T10:33:00.005+08:00

Remember those walls I built
Well baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a soundI found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I've got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see you halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over you face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest nights
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like fallin'
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
Halo, halo oohhhh...
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo

I love 'em all.....

Trip to Bukit Merah Laketown...

2009-06-17T19:25:00.005+08:00

The children has been complaining that we have not been spending enough time with them lately.
So, during school holiday, we took the opportunity to take a short trip to Bukit Merah Laketown. I got a good deal booking from the net (you would not believe what wonders the internet could give you).
First Day
So on Wednesday - 10th June 2009, off we went to Bukit Merah Laketown.
Hubby decided to use the coastal road to enjoy the view and more of a relaxed driving.
We started our journey at 9am.
We stopped at Tanjong Malim's most popular Restaurant - Yik MUn. Specialty of this restaurant is the Pau.
If you ask me, the taste of the pau is not so great... so so only lah...
Then we continued our journey... along the way, we stopped several times and mostly at petrol kiosks. Not to pump petrol but more of using the toilets... my tummy was going berserk on that day...
However, it was a pleasant experience to stop at these public toilets. I am sure many of us would typically think that these toilets must be very dirty and not well-managed. Surprise, surprise... ALL the toilets that I went were clean and there was even one (from BHP station) had aircon in the toilet... how about that!!!!!
We even stopped at MIL's house to make sure it is in order since her absence from the house almost 14days ago (she went for Umrah and she was staying with my BIL when we made the visit). We had lunch at KFC (ya, the most unexciting place to makan).
We arrived at Bukit Merah closed to 3.30pm. My expectation was it must be one of the most crappiest place to stay due to the rate that I got from internet booking was dirt cheap.
But how wrong I was.
The rest of the days were excellent.
We truly enjoyed this unexpected good, cheap and fun trip.
I am definitely looking forward for more of this in months to come!!!!!

On our trip back home, we sempat singgah at Kuala Kangsar...

Suria Service Apartments.... best in town!

Khalis played with this cute Clown!

We even visited the Perak Museum, located in Taiping Town... how about that!!!

Monkeys, they are.....

After a good meal at Kuala Sepetang. Look at how satisfied their faces were....

We were lepakking at the apartment's lounge

Night Safari.... very interesting visit, I must say!!!!

The big pool .........

We stopped at Gua Tempurung for our final picnic....

Food, Glorious CHEAP Food....

2009-06-17T19:07:00.004+08:00

During school holidays, we decided to bring the kids for a short, CHEAP trip to Bukit Merah Laketown.

And because it was a very cheap trip, our expectations were not high.
It turned out to be the best holiday trip we ever had.
We got the best lodging spot, in the most happening apartment in Bukit Merah Laketown.

It has the biggest pool (25m).
It has cinema.
It has karaoke zone.
It has gymnasium.
It has a few restaurants that are serving good food and cheap.

Everything in Taiping, especially food is cheap.
Imagine Teh O is going for only RM0.50.
Roti telor for only RM0.70.
Nasi Lemak for RM3.00 in one of the restaurants.
Laksa for only RM1.70.
It is really unbelievable but its true.

HAPPY FACES

It was a very hot day, so baba treated us with ABC.... hmmmm, yummy!!

Ain having her western breakfast set .....

bubur pulut hitam - it tasted good and cheap too....

the best place to eat as much udang as you can...

We went to Portwell or popularly known as Kuala Sepetang to try out their best mee udang in town... fuhhhh, terangkat beb....

drool babe, drool

Busy Month

2009-05-26T20:17:00.002+08:00

May has always been the busiest month simply because : -

1) This is the last month of our financial year
2) This is the month where past 1 year performance is being tracked, evaluated & reviewed
3) This is the month where many meetings will happen
4) This is the month where we talk about strategies, plans, progressions, new targets, new budgets, etc
5) This is the month where we determine who performs and who doesn't
6) This is the month where we celebrate achievements, acknowledge recognitions, and reward people
7) This is the month where we anticipate what is going to happen for the next 1 year
8) This is the month where we analyse what went wrong and what went right
9) This is the month where we become analytical and always criticising
10) This is the month where both bosses celebrate their birthdays

Mantera Beradu - sungguh puitis

2008-12-04T18:30:00.003+08:00

Masih belum sempurna

Gerakkan hati, hati gerakkan
pandanglah aku, akulah dia

Kulitku tebal ku bebal ingatku kebal
banyak berbual makan angin kembung perut mual
resah dan tidak senang hidup tak pernah lenang
ku schizo paranoia1 takut pecah tembelang
Pecah tembelang, peta dah hilang
bangau dah pulang, suara sumbang
Lidahku kaku tak selicin ku
kuteman baikku buku
biniku pena tak pernah lena
aku suka mengintai pantang ditenung
berakhir pertelingkahan dalaman pasti belum
Ikut gerak hati pena melayang
dilihat dua layang pandang
taklah segarang takat meradang
tanya abang gedang apa barang
badan macam badang, main acap belakang parang
Hunuskan keris musuh ada pistol
tradisi kekalkan adaptasi harus betul
tujuh baris keramat tujuh garis penamat
baik berpada biar jahat asal selamat
Ramai saudaraku yang baik telah dipijak
Awan mendung yang berarak, bawa tangis bawa resah
rebah rindu yang terkumpul, semua jerat dan kalimat
semua janji yang terikat, lebur di sisimu
Ijazah terbaik datangnya dari jalanan
dari pengalaman bercakar dan bersalaman
konflik motivasi cuba meditasi
positif yang benci jadi inspirasi pagi
Peduli interpretasi basi
pekakkan sebelah halang biar keduanya
muka cantik soalan bodoh yang ditanya
jadi melodi yang lebih hina dari zina
Lu bikin dosa ku bikin prosa
testosteron2 testarossa3
cita-cita sosa4 KL KL Cosa Nostra5
jalan berliku kuharung roller coaster
gah sentosa tiada penyesalan
luas pandangan jauh dah berjalan
tak sempurna masih ada kejanggalan
gagal merancang, merancang kegagalan

Awan mendung yang berarak, bawa tangis bawa resah
rebah rindu yang terkumpul
semua jerat dan kalimat, semua janji yang terikat
lebur di sisimu
Kucing bawa tidur rimau bawa ngigau
masuk tempat orang bawa otak bukan pisau
Naik bukit angkuh cakap ayah jangan risau
turun bukit pucat dengar tiga miau
kucing bawa tidur rimau bawa ngigau
masuk tempat orang bawa otak bukan pisau
Tolak pintu gua tiga kerat tenaga
kosong tak dijaga sampai datang tiga naga
ingat nak berlaga tapi takkan boleh menang
menang dengan otak tak mesti dengan pedang
Sebelum jadi naga ikan koi renang renang
kura-kura salah jawapan untuk naik berang
panggil lima kawan atau biar pergi laju
risaukan perkara temeh kita takkan maju
Muka sama hijau hati siapa tahu
merah dah menyala pasti mati siapa mahu
gagap tiga kali bercakap benar saja
bulan terang ramai yang keluar buat kerja

Panjat pokok buluh cari tokong air terjun
naik sampai nampak dah terpegun turun
tiga ular ikut lompat atau paut
kalau lari mati jika belot maut
Awan mendung yang berarak
bawa tangis bawa resah
rebah rindu yang terkumpul
semua jerat dan kalimat
semua janji yang terikat
lebur di sisimu
Puisi hatimu, hatimu puisi
palu hatiku, palu hatiku
Kulit tak bersalin walau saling ganti baju
pandang sini pandang sinisku berbahasa baku
tata kata nahu himpun jadi satu
mantera beradu dengan irama dan lagu
Akhirnya sempurna

wedding - 080808

2008-11-28T14:39:00.004+08:00

zizie finally decided to end her solo life on 080808...

some pictures to share...

2008-11-28T14:10:00.003+08:00

not because i have nothing to do, but i simply couldnt be bothered anymore...

thus am uploading some pictures taken this year throughout, that have left good memories behind...

Mak Siti celebrated her birthday in February - with lotsa food... we had barbecued stuff, steamboat stuff and also other varieties... stuffed to the brim...

I wonder whether both hubby and I will be this romantic when we both reached the age like my parents.

During ayah's birthday in MArch this year, we celebrated very moderately at one of the most popular restaurants here in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail...

The short trip to Kuching we managed to getaway, in August (just before zizie's wedding), we had fun!!!!

Khalis's birthday cake - blueberry cheese cake... we all loved it so much except me la... ( i am not a cake fan)... my hero turned 10 this year....

Ain's birthday cake... like cupcakes but so much bigger... since she has 13 people in her class, each one of them got one each, and they were happy, very happy indeed!!!! YUMMY!!!!

^-^

2008-11-28T13:47:00.004+08:00

Don't know how to start this... but i desperately need an outlet to vent out.

I am definitely burning out ... with overloaded work, unappreciated efforts, invisible contributions, working with manupulative bastards, not trustworthy bitches, friends that have become foes, betrayors, buttering assholes, dim-witted idiots... i am very tired over all these unnecessary predicaments.

Things could have been better, have become bad and to a certain extent, have become worse. Rotting to the maximum until you smell the foul long before you see it.

Unscrupulous people - they survive well because of their covering ass act, because of their manupulative words, because they are good in buttering bosses, because they are champions in adding salt and pepper to every single words that vomit out from their soul...huh, I am really very tired.

I have applied unpaid leave for a month effective December 2008, but guess what, it was not approved. Yeah, my boss will be the biggest idiot if he was to approve my leave, but then i will be the biggest idiot if i were to stay on, here in this torturing chamber...

My children are having their school break, Khalis has gone balik kampung to spend more quality time with Opah. Ain is spending her school holiday with nenek, totok and aunty cu and aunty yayah. See, even my children are not spending time with me this round.

Hubby is busy for end year closing. Busy preparing for the upcoming downturn and preparing for the worst. So he is also busy doing his own things.

Me, myself and I - busy trying to survive in this unjust and unfair world... I am losing control of myself, after quite a while... guess this is my down period... been trying to pick myself up, still trying, not sure until when, but will keep on trying!!!

I have no one to talk to, no friends that I can trust anymore, oh Ya Allah, have mercy on me... hopefully i can ride through this difficult moment with breeze. Amin, ya rabbal alamin.

hahaha, here I am

2008-10-28T12:38:00.002+08:00

2008-03-03T16:25:00.002+08:00

Fuhhhh, i was sure lost going to my own blog world. Took me almost a year to find my way here AGAIN!!!

Today 3rd March 2008

I am at home, not feeling too pinky... i have gastricitis (thats why the pounding head, the blurry vision, the heart burn). I thought after slipping 3 different types of tablets, will help me to at least sleep and rest, but nope, I am wide awake.

Thus, the updating of MamaEmmy is MUSING...

I am still here my friends, still the MamaEmmy, nothing has changed!!!

But a few things in my life has changed...
1- i have changed the colour concept of my house to dark red and olive green and striking yellow... how about that?
2- i have changed my car - i love my new car sooooooo much....
3- i have new maid - my previous maid has to follow her husband to NS. my new maid is equally good.... no, no, no, i would rather say BETTER!!!
4- i have changed phone - hehehe from nokia to sony ericsson to htc...
5- i have changed husband.... oooppppssss, sorry darling, this one remains forever.... how can I change him when he is the best in the world for me.... excusee meeeee!
6- i have changed position in my job...

I am sure that's all that have been changed for the last 8 months...

Ain has gone into her 2nd year of kindergarten....
Alis is in primary 4... he has started talking to me about sperms, pms, and that kind of stufff, oh boy, children grow very fast nowadays....

My best buddy, Atie, is now staying here in Ampang. Met her quite a few times. She is coping well living here with her 2 kids and hubby traveling almost weekly from singapore to kl and back to singapore again over the weekend (yelah kan, siapa tak sayang bini oiiii)

Whitehorse is now heavy carrying her first baby - i think almost 7 months already... soon she is going to be HotMama....

There has been A LOT of CHANGES in my workplace too...
1- I have a new boss that rocks... I LOVEEEEEE HIM!
2- Soon, I am taking a new task, again
3- I have new team in recruitment & also in training

Well, that's the brief updates of what have happened over the moons that I have been silent...

I shall try to update religiously but again, no promises!!!

where do i start....

2007-05-30T17:45:00.000+08:00

first of all, i would like to officially say it in mablog - congratulations to Selipar Jepun & I_mshe for getting a baby girl each on the same day - 23rd March 2007. Alhamdulillah!!!

secondly, i would like to wish happy belated birthday

- to my colleague who is leaving very soon (like tomorrow) even though it was 2 months' due (see, how I efficient I am) ... hehehe Gene, happy belated birthday and hopefully you will find greener pasture... and hopefully you will do well in delivering your very precious little one
- wenji, who celebrated hers on 6th may 2007. Ironically, she invited me unofficially to her birthday party and she said will follow up with an official one through sms. Until the celebration day was over, i was not invited... sedey tak, but it's ok!!! hehehehe
- fadzleen may, 11th may 2007, semoga panjang umur, bertambah murah rezeki & cepat jumpa jodoh yang baik.... insyallah and amin yarabbal alamin
- Khairil of Era (he is a DJ) 20th May 2007,
- another colleague of mine Pepino also on 2oth may, may God bless you always
- Selipar Jepun (21st may 2007) - semoga berbahagia selalu disamping keluarga tercinta
- lastly, the epitome - to my sweet little girl who is now a big girl... she celebrated her 5th birthday... well, she just recovered from fever and flu, just before she turned 5. I love you darling!!!! be good and always take care of yourself ya.... mama will not always be around to take care of you....

fuhhh, a lot of good celebrations this month

me, just recovered from very chronic chicken pox.. was on MC for 3 weeks and work has been bleeding since the day i started working after the long break.... i am suffocating!!!

my face is looking ok now but still not back to its smooth and clean look... you can still see scars abit here & there.... hubby said saham dah jatuh...

am going down to spore this weekend... schoold holidays, time to take a break with my children however, without hubby!!!!

will try to make to the fullest of quality time with them, but one thing for sure, Spore Zoological Garden - here we come....

hope the rest are doing well and flying high... may allah bless you and take care. will be intouch after my return from spore... till then, love you lots!

whats happenin'

2007-03-23T17:55:00.000+08:00

Khalis was down with chicken pox... thank god not very severe (thank god he had the jab when he was younger). i worked on & off lah. now the chicken pox has kind of dried off, only waiting for it to fully subside. Dr. said probably ain will get it too, but not sure when because she was already exposed to the virus... huhuhuhu (guess i have to wait for it to happen lah).

Received sms from lun and wtl. I_mshe is now in labour (sms received before lunch time, and this entry is written at 6pm... so probably by now she already delivers). I send sms to i_mshe no reply. hopefully she is doing okay and everything is selamat sejahtera, InsyaAllah.

Received another sms, SJ has safely delivered a healthy baby girl, alhamdulillah... bertambah lagi umat yang bakal mewarnai sang dunia ini.

hubby plan to balik kampung tomorrow, but not sure jadik or not. me, i am experiencing the same feeling like what wtl is feeling..... I DRAG MYSELF TO WORK nowadays. hmmm, dont really know why. i really have to do a little bit of soul searching of why i am feeling like. i know it is not healthy but.......

i found out from a few of my colleagues that i have been very quiet now. no more the tyrant and loud me in meetings. they are wondering why? guess i lost the feel and touch. no more vibes for me to shout out, bcos, frankly, no one is listening. so i'd rather lay low and just continue with my work.

i can feel that i have lost my magic touch with what i am doing now. i dont know... maybe its about time for me to move on...hmmm, ntahlah....

gotta go now. i have a lot in my mind... to be continued.

to all, have a blessed weekend!!!

miaw... (part 2)

2007-03-15T14:22:00.000+08:00

nurul ain - bergaya kat lobby hotel where we stayed. beaming with satisfaction
khalis - pun nak bergaya jugak
baba & khalis - overseeing the magnificient view of south china sea
waty with one of the natives - orang penan (sexy wa cakap lu)
abang & adik - jumping around in the hotel room (family suite)

weather over in kuching was very cool & interesting... sejuk & panas at the same time... one thing that i regretted not doing was the shopping part. There were so many things to buy, but i was having a brain spaced out until hubby also perasan... cam tak caya, keluar masuk kedai yang menjual bermacam jenis barangan untuk dibeli... tapi aku terpaku & terpana. in the end, i did not buy anything at all.... bley.... whoaaaaaaaaaaaa

miaw..... (part 1)

2007-03-15T14:13:00.000+08:00

came back to office just today. my trip to kuching sarawak was a great one. i really dont feel like coming back (to office, i mean). my kids had a wonderful jolly good time there.

Kuching - almost 50 years ago
Gunung Santubong - great view
sand stone of santubong
pasar satok - banyak betul ikan terubok masin
one of natives houses - rumah melanau

time to change - i welcome suggestions

2007-03-06T13:37:00.000+08:00

2007-03-06T13:20:00.000+08:00

Which one will you choose?

at last....the LV bag arrived

2007-03-05T09:24:00.000+08:00

This is the bag that has been giving me nightmares and sleepless nights... at last, i collected it last Saturday.... huuuhhuhuhu

Like ligo said... oooohhhh, yang macam acuan lontong tu ye... hehehehe

And now, i can sleep in peace... alhamdulillah!!!

my BIL celebrated his 50th birthday

2007-03-05T09:13:00.000+08:00

Inilah dia 'jejaka idaman' seantero malaya yang telah menyambut hari lahir yang ke 50 pada 1hb March 2007. Tapi majlisnya diaadakan semalam...sungguh manis senyuman, cuma sayang takde gigi.. huaahuahuahuaaaaa..

meriah jugaklah... makanan, full spread of stuffs... penuh tiga meja...
tapi kemeriahan itu tidak berlanjutan kerana ada insiden yang menyayat hati telah terjadi... aku telah dituduh sebagai orang yang 'berlagak' oleh mereka2 yang dipenuhi dengan perasaan PHD... malas lah nak layan orang macam nih...

Yang penting, aku, hubby aku & anak2 aku bahagia.... alhamdulillah!!!

pokok ciku ku dah berbuah...

2007-03-05T09:08:00.000+08:00

Pokok ciku, yang ditanam depan rumah ku lebih kurang setahun yang lalu kini semakin lebat menghasilkan buah, padahal pokoknya comel je.....(dah hampir 3 kali berbuah tapi ini yang paling banyak)

haaaaa.... kecik kan pokoknya.... tak payah panjat, jengket atau jolok... in fact kena bongkok utk petik buahnya... sedap!!!!!

berzerk mind

2007-03-02T10:39:00.000+08:00

work

workload is piling up like there's no tomorrow... not sure whether i can peacefully cope with it... but since every end of the month, i get the money in the bank, so whether i like it or not, i have to deal with whatever challenges and pressures that come along the way to deliver what is needed from me... (i am too complicated, aku pun tak paham apa yang yang aku songe)

home

had a tiff with dad... not because i made mistakes but because there is no reason for him to get upset with me, thats why he is upset... mengamuk tak tentu pasal..

tapi yang paling merana both mum and yayah, takpelah, marilah kita tempuhnya bersama..

sambungan previous post....

2007-02-26T12:49:00.000+08:00

weekend was good.

in previous posting, i was upset due to acara 'pembunuhan kapir' tak menjadi.... then lun tanya, so how was it? hehehe... acara 'pembunuhan kapir' besar-besaran telah terjadi, siap dengan acara kemuncak - lion dancing (see picture)... huuuuhuhuhu!!! you guys go figure!!!

SIL finally came to my house to fetch her mother on saturday. i was euphoric (oh god, i hate to make it sound so cruel, but that's the truth) and at the same time sad (yeke sedey... aku pun mcm tak percaya, tapi itulah yang aku rasa)... and of course, i served them good lunch... ade 'kin cam pok ji' (eh korang tau tak nie masakan aper), ade rojak buah, ade sambal tempoyak, ade ulam, ade ikan & ayam goreng, ade kek pisang and eh dahlah tu je... hubby masa tu takde.. keje...

Hubby cuti hari sun... so kitorang memang betul2 lepak and laze around until almost 10am on Sunday (ehem...ehem....ehemm). We brought our children breakfast kat Medan Puteri, and it so happened that there was a CNY celebration organised by the developer. Tu yang ade lion dancinglah, pertandingan fashion show by children (ya Allah, comel2 btul budak2 yang participate... anak sapa lah tu), and some other activities yang kitorang malas nak ikut.

Khalis & ain memang suke giler lah tengok lion dancing tu... aku pun terkesima jua...

salah langkah...

2007-02-23T10:18:00.000+08:00

Factor
Perancangan utk 'membunuh kapir' tak jadi...huhuhuhu (Ain mengigau... nangis terisak2... and of course cari mama & baba.... bley gituk??? aku stress tahap air keluar ikut telinga beb)

Cause
- mood swing tak berapa gempak di pagi Jumaat yg mulia
- instead of pakai baju kurung, harini pergi kerja pakai jeans and t-shirt
- belum sempat keluar rumah, hubby sms bilang motor dia dah tukar jadi motorboat nak kena hantar service
- MIL nak cuci kain tapi tak tau nak use my washing machine. so I angkut die & kain baju yang kotor to my mom's place. boleh suruh bbik cuci
- only managed to send Khalis to school. Ain, aunty yayah tolong hantarkan (bcos it is still too early)
- slowly accompanied hubby to the service centre to repair his motorbike (somewhere near kg subang)
- while waiting, sempat breakfast with him (mungkin Allah dah tentukan - to make up what was unsettled last nite hehehehe)
- just a few minutes I arrived office, hubby sms his motorbike is back to normal... something to do with roller yang rosak.... alhamdulillah...

Result
- am having a date with him tonight & hopefully akan terjadi lah pembunuhan kapir itteeeewwww.... whoaahahahahahaha

p/s : lun, welkam back... hopefully bro dah ok... am glad i made him smile!!!!

mana pergi semua orang...

2007-02-22T16:53:00.000+08:00

i wonder where is everybody...

yang response cumer cekya je... visited her blog... full of colourful pix...

i miss all the fun during the get together... sungguh sedey!! kena buat satu lagi in near future, i nak join jugak...

lun, ligo, wtl, cekmi, i_mshe semuanye senyap je.... bz ker? naper aku yang tak bz ek...

have fun u ols~~~~

record breaking

2007-02-22T14:54:00.000+08:00

for the first time ever, i had lunch twice in a day....

at almost 12pm earlier, had lunch with wenji at kiwi express. initially i wanted to have the san har egg noodles 'cantonese style' but wenji made me changed my mind. so i settled with lunch set of mix grill kiwi - soup of the day (chicken & vegies - oklah), main course mix grill kiwi (2 pcs of udang galah, a piece of chicken fillet and nz lamb with a baked potato & something like pumpkin - god knows what - taste out of 10 only 4.5) and dessert of chocolate cake (which i dont really fancy, thus I tapau the cakes and gave it to my another colleague). Not so great the food, but the company was good!!! and wenji, thanks for the treat, should go more often ya... hehehe

came back to office at about 12.55pm. received sms from SJ to have lunch with her.... so there i went again. but this time we went to Common's cafe, a very popular cafe at our vicinity. served western and local cuisines. SJ ordered claypot loh shi fun and yours truly had a plate of fries.... yes ma friend... i ate the second round in less than an hour.... huhuuuhuhu. again the lunch was so-so, but the company was great. i managed to vent out my frustation and share my hurt feelings with SJ.

SJ, if you are reading this, thank you for lending your ears. I really appreciate it. But like i said - 'buang yang keruh, ambil yang jernih', ok. Thanks for the treat.

Two Free Lunches.... how often do you get that!!!!! all i can say, ALHAMDULILLAH.

The 5 things....

2007-02-22T09:33:00.000+08:00

I have been tagged by Lun... huhuhuhu. I really need time to think about what I write, so here they are...

5 things I would do if I am a millionaire

1- build rumah kebajikan especially for those underpriviledged children (yang mak bapak dorang dah tak nak, daripada dorng buang bawah pokok pisang, dalam masjid, dalam longkang, i would definitely love to have them) and hire as many qualified educators as possible to ensure proper education and disciplined taught to them and of course shower them with love
2- buy a bungalow which is just next to the rumah kebajikan that I plan to build, turn it into a very stylish balinese ambience so that all my children will enjoy homely home (bley mcm tu?)
3- travel all over the world (it will be good to see how other people lead their lives, isnt it? and to do that, you need to have tonnes & tonnes of mean green, right!!!)
4- to sell muslimah clothings endorsed with my own brand.... to make known into the international market.... (besar sungguh angan2 ku ittew)
5- to have the full collection of LV range... hehehehe (bak kata lun, sawan LV tak hilang lagik)

5 bad habits

1- when I am angry or upset, the whole world knows.... one of my shortcomings (takleh nak cover kalau tengah marah)
2- terlalu mengharap if I want something and gets paranoid if i dont get it (LV bag is a good example)
3- always talk in a very loud tone... especially to my children (sian anak2 aku)
4- i realised i cannot read too much nowadays... cepat tertidur (nape ek??) i used to read until wee hours... tapi sekarang, nak kasi aku tidor senang je.... READ
5- suka duduk bersila sewaktu makan even kalau makan kat restaurant... bley?

5 things I hate doing

1- marah at my children when actually I am upset with the Daddy
2- segala benda yang ade kena mengena dengan kain baju... basuh, lipat, gosok, kemas kain baju (tapi aku suka jemor kain... hahaha, gilossss)
3- menghabiskan kerja orang yang tak habis
4- having fights with people that I love (seksa...)
5- bersekududukan dengan jiran tetangga dan mendengar berita terkini.... dats why I am labelled as manusia yang tak campur orang kat my area... hehehee

5 things I never do

1- merokok, beralkohol, berdadah, and anything that has got to do with it... (nauzubillahiminzalik, walaupun setiap hari aku dikerumuni oleh manusia yang sedemikian)
2- naked while cooking (takut terpercik kena badan, ouuuccchhh, sakitnyer)
3- mengampu manusia yang bernama BOSS - sorry, you will never get that from me
4- break a promise (especially rahsia yang telah diamanahkan to me)
5- makan ketika sedang berak (ewwwww, grosssssss)

5 things I regret doing

1- kehanyutan hanya Allah saja yg tahu (aku hamba yang kerdil, daif penuh dgn dosa... aku akan terus berusaha untuk menebus dosa itu)
2- not giving the best to Khalis... (mama will try to pay you back what you deserve darling)
3- migrating to Msia... huhuhuhu
4- not having as many children as i planned to have
5- bought house at where i am staying now (dahlah jauh, setiap kali cuti panjang, JAM gila babi biler nak balik rumah... wa tak larat beb)

5 fave toys/things (ade lagik ke)

1- hubby (hehehehe)
2- anything to do with blogging
3- handphone
4- family pictures/videos (obssessed with them)
5- my whole treasure chest loaded with accessories - rings, bracelets, watches, necklaces, brooches, etc (cant get enough of them)

5 person tag

1- fie-nuts
2- whitehorse
3- cekya
4- biahnce
5- dan sesiapa yang sudi untuk membuat benda nielah....

Phewww... penat jugak ar... banyak gunakan minda yang dah berkarat lah....

holiday ker....

2007-02-21T10:05:00.000+08:00

the road is amazingly quiet today... how i wish everyday is like today, but i know that will only happen a few times in a year - during CNY, HRP and of course end of the year... other than that, JAM, JAM & JAM....

talking about jam.... it was a nightmare going back from office on friday back to my house in rawang.... right after i hit the hiway, i already suspected there will be a massive jam starting soon bcos there were gazillions cars on the road... true enough, the jam started from as far as the junction between sg buloh and kuantan... and that was almost 30km away from rawang toll exit... it was moving to a 40km/hr at maximum... i left office at 4.45pm and arrived home (finally) at almost 7.00pm...

and my night was not over... at about 8.30pm, had a missed call from Yayah... she had a minor accident in that midst of jam... somebody just loved her car so much, fell in love and finally kissed her butt... hehehe.... by the time we lodged the police report at rawang the time showed it was almost 11.45pm. When I left the house, MIL took care of my children and I left them before having dinner. When I reached home, my children said opah cooked maggi for them... huhuhuu

saturday morning, despite being very tired, as planned.... with lots of enthusiasm and pride, we went to the shop to get what I have been longing for, for the past week, the LV bag... and guess what??? THE BAG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.... bcos some idiot has happily sapu the bag... CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????? i really felt like crying... hubby pacified me and got me an LV coin purse... then we ordered the bag that I have fallen in love with... there were a few other designs available... but i insisted to have the one that i have been eyeing for... the sales advisor said the stock will come in probably mid March, paid a hefty sum as a deposit to ensure i get the bag... i am willing to wait, for whatever reasons, i am willing to wait....huhuu

sunday - went to kenduri tahlil in my next door neighbour's house... and gave a helping hand here and there... almost evening at about 4.30pm, we moved on to my BIL's daughter's new house... she had a makan-makan session... and another upsetting episode happened there... apparently SIL was not happy when they found out that I fetched MIL the other day without informing them... what the %*@#!!!! i really dont understand them.... upset over unnecessary thing rather than being relieved that their BELOVED MOTHER is now perfectly fine.... what bothers me is they didnt even ask WHY we fetched their MOTHER rather than why we never tell them.... I went home that night in disgust!!!!

monday & tuesday - lepak at home... masak, makan... masak, makan.... masak, makan....
part of the menus :-
- pasta oglio olio & caesar salad
- nasi ayam
- curry puff
- bubur keledek purple ku yang amat masyhur
- home made burger
and banyak lagik yang sebenarnya aku pun tak hengat...

and here i am today... in the office, happily blogging!!!!

Semoga Kita di berkati Allah di pagi Jumaat yang Mulia ini

Antara 9 Mimpi Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

Daripada Abdul Rahman Bin Samurah ra berkata, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.bersabda:"Sesungguhnya aku telah mengalami mimpi-mimpi yang menakjubkan pada malam aku sebelum di Israqkan........"

1. Aku telah melihat seorang dari umatku telah di datangi oleh malaikatul maut dengan keadaan yg amat menggerunkan untuk mengambil nyawanya, maka malaikat itu terhalang perbuatannya itu disebabkan oleh KETAATAN DAN KEPATUHANNYA KEPADA KEDUA IBUBAPANYA.

2. Aku melihat seorang dari umatku telah disediakan azab kubur yang amat menyiksakan, diselamatkan oleh berkat WUDUKNYA YANG SEMPURNA.

3. Aku melihat seorang dari umatku sedang dikerumuni olehsyaitan-syaitan dan iblis-iblis lakhnatullah, maka ia diselamatkandengan berkat ZIKIRNYA YANG TULUS IKHLAS kepada Allah.

4. Aku melihat bagaimana umatku diseret dengan rantai yang diperbuat daripada api neraka jahanam yang dimasukkan dari mulut dan dikeluarkanrantai tersebut ke duburnya oleh malaikut Ahzab, tetapi SOLATNYA YANG KHUSUK DAN TIDAK MENUNJUK-NUNJUK telah melepaskannya dari seksaan itu.

5. Aku melihat umatku ditimpa dahaga yang amat berat, setiap kali dia mendatangi satu telaga di halang dari meminumnya, ketika itu datanglah pahala PUASANYA YANG IKHLAS KEPADA ALLAH S.W.T. memberi minum hingga ia merasa puas.

6. Aku melihat umatku cuba untuk mendekati kumpulan para nabi yangsedang duduk berkumpulan-kumpulan, setiap kali dia datang dia akan diusir, maka menjelmalah MANDI JUNUB DENGAN RUKUN YANG SEMPURNANYA sambil ke kumpulanku seraya duduk disebelahku.

7. Aku melihat seorang dari umatku berada di dalam keadaan gelap gelitadi sekelilingnya, sedangkan dia sendiri di dalam keadaan binggung, makadatanglah pahala HAJI DAN UMRAHNYA YANG IKHLAS KEPADA ALLAH S.W.T . lalumengeluarkannya dari kegelapan kepada tempat yang terang - benderang.

8. Aku melihat umatku cuba berbicara dengan golongan orang mukmin tetapimereka tidakpun membalas bicaranya,maka menjelmalah SIFATSILATURRAHIMNYA DAN TIDAK SUKA BERMUSUH-MUSUHAN SESAMA UMATKU lalu menyeru kepada mereka agar menyambut bicaranya, lalu berbicara mereka dengannya.

9. Aku melihat umatku sedang menepis-nepis percikan api ke mukanya, maka segeralah menjelma pahala SEDEKAHNYA YANG IKHLAS KERANA ALLAH S.W.T. lalu menabir muka dan kepalanya dari bahaya api tersebut.

BERSABDA RASULULLAH S.A.W. : "SAMPAIKANLAH PESANANKU KEPADA UMATKU YANG LAIN WALAUPUN DENGAN SEPOTONG AYAT"

Plans yang hancusss...

2007-02-16T09:40:00.000+08:00

Its TGIF... alhamdullilah... one more sleepless night before I get to hold my LV bag... (hopefully this plan will really happen, please GOD!!!!)

Plans that do not happen accordingly

plan 1
- nak balik kampung this weekend
why
MIL is already here...

plan 2
- nak join blogsahabatnyer get together tonite
why
MIL is around, takkan nak tinggalkan die lama2 kat umah kan...

plan 3
- Sat, nak gi gym & later nak main badminton, pastu baru nak gie beli LV handbag
why
MIL is around, so the first 2 activities kena postpone, just proceed with the last one (itu mesti)... but MIL nak ikut, bley???

Whatever it is, plan nak gi beli LV handbag tak boleh tidak... huhuhuhu (do I sound so desperate... well, hell I am)....

MIL and her tactics...

2007-02-14T14:31:00.000+08:00

While writing this, January from Glenn is blasting out loud! Wonderful feeling... oh, I so miss my hubby!!! (hubby is away until Thursday - which is tomorrow..huhuhuhu)

Last nite received a call from my MIL (Mother-In-Law) at about 6pm ++. While she was crying, she was trying very hard to tell me that she wanted me to fetch her from kampung back here. Oh gosh! In my heart.... how on earth am I supposed to do that when hubby is not around.

I quickly called hubby and told me to balik with my BIL (brother-in-law). So after the hoo-haa, made the arrangements, so I flew with my kids, BIL, BIL's wfie and youngest son back to hometown, which was about 2 and 1/2 hours away. We arrived there almost midnight. MIL was already waiting sexcitedly (oops, did I say 'sex')... we left MIL's place 10 minutes after midnight and we arrived safely home, at bout 3.30am in the morning. Phew.... I really flew - on the road amidst fighting over lanes with huge humongous lorries.... whoaaaahahahahaha

Thus, this morning came in late to office (about 11.30am), Ain ponteng sekolah, Alis ponteng sekolah agama. My MIL looked ok this morning. Oh, before she slept just now, I actually sapu minyak gamat serai on her tummy which was actually very bloated. She said she farted non-stop right after. Alhamdulillah, she is feeling very much better when I left her for work.

We actually planned to balik kampung this weekend, after I get my LV bag, of course, and wanting to bring her back with us after that. But since we already fetched her last nite, plans have to change, somehow. But on second thought, it must be a blessing in disguise that MIL wanted to come back here immediately. Probably she was not that very ill, as I expected her to be. She probably misses us too much, but not knowing how to say it. Thus making the 'sakit perut' as the very good excuse. Mak, dont worry, we love you and of course we will not leave you alone, if you dont want to...

Told hubby the whole thing, including the details... he just laughed out loud... oh I sooo miss you!!!

p/s: with MIL around, dont think I can get away for the get together wif cekya, wtl, cekmi, awan, biahnce, and the rest... mcm kena pull out gituk... sorry yek! (sambil menyusun jari sepuluh)

LV Handbag....

2007-02-13T15:39:00.000+08:00

I am still having sleepless night... pasal tak beli the LV handbag I have been eyeing for the longest time...

Tak sabar to wait for Saturday to come... hubby dah promise nak beli the handbag then... huhuhu, and today is only Tuesday... I am still counting and oh no... another 4 sleepless nights before I can get the bag... huhuuhu

I just can't wait...

The Food at D'Myra

2007-02-07T12:37:00.000+08:00

Don't they look delicious to you??? Yummyyyyyyyy.... lapar lah!!!

D"Myra

2007-02-07T12:20:00.000+08:00

Had dinner at D'Myra Cafe last night. Our 2nd time here. The cafe is the shoplot area where I live.

Very well decorated cafe cum restaurant.... very impressed with the interior decor. The ambience is very natural and cooling...

they serve fusion of all food, western, local as well as bakery stuff as well.

I really like this place. & the food is marvellously delicious. Worth going to cafe.... will now become my family favourite spot!!!

ain & sekolah....

2007-02-06T11:30:00.000+08:00

my girl... on her 2nd week of school... finally we see the big smile on her face...

i was shivering and panicked the day before school started.... i am just so afraid she may start her nonsense again and scared that she refused to go to school, just like last year...

and it actually happened... she cried and didn't want to let me go on the 1st day of school, even I have been 'psychoing' her almost everyday, 2 weeks before school started... but apparently it didn't work lah... champion!

However, Ain's teacher has been very supportive and giving encouragement and advised me on how to deal with ain's nonsense. First 3 days, she cried and refused to go to school, but with ain's teacher's patience, she still sat in the 3 days session...

Miraculously, on Monday, which was the 4th day, she woke up smiling and wanted to get ready very quickly... and she started with this song...

"Bangun pagi, gosok gigi, cuci muka, pergi mandi
minum susu, makan roti, pergi sekolah, senang hati" (the oh my darling clementine's version)

I was startled with the change... and she still sings that song every morning... yeayyyyyy!!!! Anak aku dah pandai pergi sekolah.... and after 1 1/2 months, ain can read.... another yeayyyyy!!!!!!!

And the best part is, her agama islam class is only on Tuesdays and Thursdays... setiap kali balik sekolah, she will tell me that she wants to solat, kalau tak nanti masuk neraka, but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays... hari lain ustazah tak ajar, so die LUPA!!!! Hai lah anak aku....

One thing for sure, girl, mama is so proud of you and abang... and if one day you read this, let me tell you this big secret.... I love you and abang so much.... both of you are my daily inspiration!!!!

tale from the other side of the world... huh???

2007-02-06T10:47:00.000+08:00

monday

I was on leave yesterday. Initial plan is to go to spore over the weekend to settle family matters. however, i changed my mind last minute and decided to stay put at home. was a very tiring day! need to chauffeur my children to and fro school (normally their vans will transit them to my mum's place but my mum was in spore, so i have to transport them lah)... masyallah, penat giler!

Morning - send khalis to sekolah agama and ain to her school. did some 'marketing' and rush home to cook (itulah akibatnya biler maid bercuti sama...huhuhuhu)!! Right after I finished cooking, it was already 10.30am. I have to quickly get ready to fetch both children. Khalis finishes school at 11.00am and Ain at 11.30am. After then, ferry them back. Enjoyed lunch with them - during school days - when on earth the last time I did that with them.... Then khalis has to quickly change and get ready for his sekolah kebangsaan pulak... we left at 12.50pm. We arrived at his school just before school rings... phewwww

After that, I have to quickly rush over to the nearest bank (which was 40km away) to settle a few banking stuffs... by the time everything is settled, I reached home almost 3.00pm. Fuhhhh, penat sungguh babe... but it was worth every minute spent with my children!!! Glad I decided to cancel my trip. Anyway, my day has not really ended. Baba came back at 5.30pm, had late lunch together, then we both fetched khalis from school.

Mind you, itupun tak sempat buat banyak keje rumah.... belum lagik basuh kain, kemas rumah dan segala macam benda.... i wonder how housewives manage all the routine chores... alhamdulillah, aku bersyukur dengan status aku sebagai wanita berkerjaya, kalau tak, sure I can't cope, whatmore daily!!!

To all you housewives... kudos and salute you people big time!!!!

sunday

played badminton for 2 hours with hubby and children.... ya allah, sakit seluruh anggota tubuh badan ku... bagai nak reput tangan, kena ragging dengan hubby semata-mata nak layan die for his office tournament this wednesday...

had lunch at McD, balik umah, semua lepak, pengsan to be precise.... malam we decided to stay at home to watch Asean Cup Finals between Spore & Thailand. It was worth watching the game because Spore won with great game and spirit.... i lurrrrrrve the game

I later continued with ABPBH, hubby and children decided to continue 'paused' PS football game.

saturday

mum celebrated her 55th Birthday.... didn't have any big celebration.... I cooked kari kepala ikan (ikan tenggiri yang kepalanya sebesar baby yang berusia 2 bulan... hehehe) Delicious, makan sehingga menjilat jari... mum was very happy with the gift that we bought for her... earlier I bought her a very nice handbag... initially we contemplated in either getting her a new watch or the purse, in the end, we decided to buy her the purse which is of the same design with the bag... so kira sepasang pattern lah... she was euphoric over it....

TODAY

received call from wtl... 1st words that came out from her - eh hari nie birthday Awan tau... hehehe, Awan, happy birhtday brother... i think you received my sms... because I received your reply...

wtl said cekya plan for a get-together session on friday, next week... I think on my side should not be a problem lah... but yet to confirm...

my day is not over yet... will update asap...

Hey, I dont wait for the next 3 months...

2007-01-09T19:12:00.000+08:00

I managed to update my blog and I definitely didn't wait for the next 3 months to blog again...huhuhu. That is an achievement, I supposed!

Still busy like a bee, but not very busy.

We are already into the 9th day of the new year. Looking back, there were so many significant things had happened in 2006 and most of them are well engraved in the history of mamaemmy's life :-

1- My girl decided that at the age of 4, she was still too young to go to school!
2- Met blogsahabats for the first time! Wow.... the feeling was euphoric.
3- Hubby passed his exams with colours - notice the 'flying' word is missing
4- All the necessary birthdays & anniversaries were celebrated with lots of joy and blessings
5- Both rayas were celebrated with gratitudes and estatic feelings, alhamdulillah.
6- Hubby dah 'kahwin' satu lagi... huhuhuhu
7- Khalis' final exam result was very satisfactory... baba still owes him the big treat
8- The year for Malaysian Film Industry is moving one level up
9- A lot of sufferings towards the end of the year where natural disasters like typhoons, floods, mysterious deaths, tragic accidents happened day in day out

And of course the finale ....

10- the lost of our beloved Abah on the 17th day Syawal, shocked everybody!!!!

Goodbye 2006 with all the memories, welcome 2007... and hopefully you bring in new and wonderful blessings... insyaAllah!!!

Hari Raya Haji

2007-01-09T18:49:00.000+08:00

Seperti biasa, kita sekeluarga akan bertakbir dan ayah akan membaca tahlil di malam raya. Tahun nih bertambah meriah, hubby & yayah celebrated their birthdays together during Hari Raya. Seronok gilossss!!!

Inilah keluarga ku...

2007-01-09T18:39:00.000+08:00

These pictures were taken during a night out with hubby's family. We had dinner together at a very popular spot in Tmn Len Seng, Cheras.

This was actually the eve of 3rd January 2007, where children started their first day at school.

I was pretty nervous that night, not because of the gathering, but more of how my girl will do in her first day at school.
(I will soon blog about it... klakar giler)....hehehe

wajah-wajah blogsahabat.....

2007-01-09T18:30:00.000+08:00

Pertemuan antara blogsahabat ketika berbuka puasa.....sori geng baru sekarang die nak muncul!

Finally, spare time to blog....

2006-12-22T14:25:00.000+08:00

Imagine this scenario....

Friday, 2.30pm. It's like that by Mariah Carey is blasting out loud from my PC. No one is around in the office except for my department people, which is less than 3 people... and all of them satu kepala with me....

What a day!!! I love today... thus, I am blogging happily. Finally some spare time for me to write... I really love today... since morning till now, have been receiving numerous numbers of Christmas gifts from fellow colleagues (and the best thing, I dont celebrate christmas, obviously). It felt so good having friends remember you. What a great day...alhamdulillah!!!

Am taking a day off after Christmas day (which is Tuesday). To actually give some moral support to hubby who is taking his final practical exam on that day. Mudah-mudahan he will do well and pass with flying colours...Amin, ya rabbal alamin!!!

Have no plans for the weekend, except :-

Saturday - to go shopping... I desperately need to shop... there are lists of things that I want to buy
- Ain's new school shoes
- Ain's & Khalis's new school bags
- my new office bags
- new office shoewear
- a bunch of new office clothings.... I have been wearing the same baju over & over again
- new stationeries for my children
- some christmas gifts - i owe a lot of people and can only give them after christmas - SORRY!!
- hey, some other stuffs lah since it is Year-End Sale!!!! (excuses, isn't it)
- some kahwin2 stuff to make Zura's sirih junjung (she is getting engaged this Monday)

Sunday - to help Khalis and Ain to prepare for school. Need to wrap all the books nicely and label their school books (I am sure it will take more than 1/2 a day for me to do this). After that, I promised my children to spend time with them, so see first lah, what kind of activity they want me to do with them.....

Monday - plan to go to Zura's house which is located at Nilai (oh dear, of all places... it's like the other end of the world). After that I plan to quickly go back and accompany hubby to prepare for his exam on Tuesday....

Actually, it is quite planned out right.... what am I taking about not having plans....hehehe

Just spoken to hubby, Raya Haji we all will be going back to his hometown because my mother-in-law buat korban kerbau.... bestnyer... but right after that, back to work again...

My schedule is full until March.... what???? yessssss, MARCH 2007, my dear frens!!!

3 months have passed.....

2006-11-20T13:23:00.000+08:00

Many things have happened within the last 3 months. Among a few most significant ones are :-

1) Had a buka puasa session with blogsahabats - WTL, Cekmi, Tatot, Azell & Sis, Cekya and of course Awan... was a meaningful session for me and finally got the chance to meet up with those yang dekat tapi jauh....

2) Hubby passed his exams. Alhamdulillah, memang kurniaan Allah s.w.t. He was among the only 60 students that passed out of 1000 students..... very unbelievable. Again, sukran jaziilan ya rahman, ya kariim....

3) Had a wonderful raya gatherings, even though very tiring, this year at my in-laws place. Everyone of hubby's siblings - from the oldest to the youngest, semuanya balik.... memang gempak giler. Tonnes and tonnes of pictures were taken, plenty of food was served, and a lot of memories created, alhamdulillah

4) Khalis passed with flying colours... he went up from 3rd class to 2nd class, thanks to his baba. Baba challenged him with a remark that he will be given ANYTHING if he can score well in Mathematics, and alhamdulillah, he proved it to his baba.... my son - am so proud of you!!!

5) had a 'perjumpaan di hari raya' session at my mom's place. invited a few friends and close relatives, turned out to be big and happening. Many old friends visited and even my blogsahabats came. (oh, cekya, mana gambarnye).... hehehe, tak sangka quite happening jugak lah majlis rumah terbuka mamaemmy.....huhuhu

6) lun, once again, am sorry for not being able to wish you well on the delivery of your baby kimi (Can you please tell me is that his real nickname - i mean are you going to call him kimi instead of his beautiful name)... congratulations to both you and bro....

7) just last 2 fridays... my father in law kembali ke rahmatullah... akibat suatu kemalangan jalanraya yang tidak begitu dahsyat, tapi terjadi di tempat yang begitu sayup... di hadapan rumah Allah... sewaktu dalam perjalanannya berjumpa dengan Allah... ketika itu beliau sedang dalam perjalanan ke masjid untuk menunaikan solat jumaat... memang tak percaya tapi itulah kenyataannya.... kepada rakan2 taulan dan semua blog sahabats, thanks for the wishes and do'a... Allah saja yang dapat membalasnya......

8) Now I am back at work... dan begitu banyak benda yang perlu diuruskan... shall blog again very soon.... and of course, with lotsa pictures... insyaAllah.....

I am BACK with lotsa gruesome feelings

2006-08-08T19:12:00.000+08:00

I have left blogging for quite a while now. It has been almost 3 months since I blogged the last round!!!

People,

So many things have happened and 'those' so many things happened not the way I wanted. I am stressing out the maximum now, seriously, I can tender anytime now. But I guess I am a big time sucker...

Oh, I really have lost my touch in writing, need to polish it again (not that it was so good anyway, but now it sucks big time)!!!

I think the company that I am working in is not moving forward, but backward instead. A lot of things that are going to happen soon are not in my favours.... but who am I to get that kind of attention and being given the favour.

Whatever it is, I will try to sustain and maintain with whatever energy that I have left and see how long more I can stand all these shits....

p/s : many of friends and even colleagues are pregnant... memang tengah musim mengawan lah... congratulations and good luck!!!!

Chilling out at Chilli’s

2006-05-24T11:07:00.000+08:00

Sometime in early April, we had an internal training session organized by training department (obviously) and every member in training and recruitment team was involved. Everyone was asked to come early, of course before the clock ticked 9am.

I was always the early bird in the department, so I was that worried. My main concern will be Kevin and Vivian. Hence, we decided to make a bet, whoever arrived late will need to treat us to good dinner. I suspected Kevin to be the loser as he is the only one in the department who perpetually comes in late.

When the day came, my oh my, how wrong I was. Kevin arrived at 8.45am, after me and Zura. Vivian arrived slightly after 9am. So she was the loser and had to treat us for a good dinner. Promise is a PROMISE.

Thus, yesterday, she brought us all to Chilli’s in Bangsar, but they all bunked into my car and obviously I was the driver lah…..

We had a jolly good time and indulged into glorious food!!!

Well, team, we shall continuously practice this to enjoy more good food all over Klang Valley. Looking forward for more promises to be broken!!! Hwehwheeee

Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad.... have no idea where the buffalo is but the salad is damn good lah!!!

This is Triple Play... huhuhu sounds very sexy, intriguing and enticing.... and believe me guys, you are going to love this, I mean the food, ok, not game part! You dirty-minded you....

Does this make you salivate??? Droooooool people, droooooolllll. I like!!!!!

Some updates

2006-05-23T17:44:00.000+08:00

1- Been very busy lately, went outstation to do some investigation and at the same time did field visits. A lot of things happening in the company, fuhhh, fening2 la….
2- Hubby’s eldest brother met with an accident. Apparently, he was on his way home from office. He has been working very late everyday lately, due to his colleague had a fractured rib. He has to take cover both shifts. And now, after the accident, doctor said he also fractured his ribs and will be on medical leave for 1 full month. Thank goodness his colleague is due back to office in a few days’ time. What a vicious cycle.
3- My parents are now having a good blessed time in Tanah Haram. They are now performing their Umrah…. Alhamdulillah! Received sms from time to time from my dad, and from the sms, we know that he is having jolly good time. Syukran Jaziilan, ya rahman, ya rahim!
4- Finally, after a few months lepakking at home, Yayah landed on a good job. This job is so much better than her previous one. Yah, I told you, everything that happened is sure a blessing in disguise. Alhamdulillah!!! Sis, hopefully this one will give you the satisfaction and provide you wider exposure, ya!
5- Khalis is going to be circumcised soon. Huhuhu, die yang nak kena potong, mamanya yang gelabah gile. I just hope that everything will go well. InsyaAllah! He is now busy with his exams both Kebangsaan and Ugama. But he is very relaxed, tak stress macam anak orang lain. Tengah musim exam, orang lain semua sibuk ulangkaji pelajaran, anak aku sibuk main playstation. Bley?
6- Hubby is sitting for his exam very2 soon. He is another species yang tak menggelabah. Relax je. Biler tanya, are you ready to sit in for the exam, dengan selamba kodoknya, Insyallah! Tanpa rasa ‘nebes’ langsung. Really like father like son.
7- I am currently suffering a ear infection. According to my physician, there were fungus and bacteria living happily in my right ear. So now I am half deaf. I asked him to actually flush out the fungus. He said he would love to do it but both fungus and bacteria are growing not only on my ear canal but also on my eardrum. So if he were to flush them out, he may tear my eardrums and cause a permanent defect to my right ear…. Oh no!!!! The only way to cure it actually to eat up all the medications given to me. The antibiotic alone costs me a bomb. But then, I am such a champion you guys will never believe it. I aggravated the infection by going to swimming the other day….hehehehe…
8- Mother-in-law is coming over to my house this weekend…. Ooopssss, have to behave like a good daughter-in-law lah nampak gayanye….
9- Hope all my blogsahabats are in good health. Lun, sorry for not replying your sms on mother’s day. Thanks for the wish and same goes to you. Hopefully you are not in the vomiting mode still. I_mshe, saw your pix on multiply, looks like you had a good time in Egypt. And Umar too…. So envy you! WTL, sorry for not talking to you long enough. What about a date soon? Cekmi, tatot, cekya, awan, adren, sorry I have been missing out in reading your blog lately…. Maafkan daku!!
10- To all, have a good week ahead and till my next entry… happy footballing!!!! Just can’t wait for the World Cup to start. Actually, it's about time to make another bab, again! My two kids are World Cup babies, Khalis - France 98 and Ain Korea/Japan 02. Both world cup happened during my confinement period, thus I can watch football endlessly with no work interruptions. This round..... hmmmm, maybe.......

My Gal has turned 4

2006-05-22T11:08:00.000+08:00

Subhanallah... macam tak percaya, my little girl is now 4 years old. She was born 4 years ago on 21st May 2002 in Sunway Medical Centre. Delivering her was a breeze. I didn't have any spot, no pain, but when my gynae checked me on that day at about 7.30am, I have dilated to almost 4cm. My gynae decided to induce me, and by 12.30pm.... a cute little girl jumped out of my tummy, splurging blood stains on even my gynae's baju!!

She weighed 3.3kg at that time and grew ultimately well, even up to now. Yesterday, we celebrated her birthday for the 4th consecutive years at Kelana Seafood Centre, with everybody except Tok & Nenek yang sekarang nie tengah menziarahi nikmat Allah yang paling besar.... mereka berada di depan pintu Kaabah. However, masih sempat sms and wish Ain - happy birthday.

To my girl - Nurul 'Ain Elisya - semoga Allah sentiasa melindungi anak mama dari segala kejahatan, dicurahi segala kenikmatan and kesejahteraan, agar jangan lupa mama & baba and nenek & tok, opah & tok, and everybody that plays a part in your life, no matter how small it may be, semoga menjadi anak yang solehah, yang sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan orang tua, dan mendapat hidayah dariNya. Amin, ya rabbal alamin.

Baba, mama, Abang & Adik.... hehee, Happy Birthday, Sayang!!!

Teringat zaman muda2 dulu kan.....

Weekend that was Very Very Long...

2006-05-02T12:19:00.000+08:00

Hubby's nephew got married last Sunday. Thus, the whole jinx gang, from mother-in-law to sister-in-laws, to sisters and brothers, to cousins, to nieces and nephews, we all gathered in my auntie's place in Balik Pulau, Penang Island.

We started our journey roughly about 9am that morning. Ayah, Mak and Yayah were in one car and me and family in another car. We stopped at Tapah R&R for breakfast and continued our journey. We planned to meet up with 3 more cars (i.e. my 2 sister-in-laws and their respective family and hubby's niece and her family). In total, 5 cars convoyed together. It was fun actually, trying to show off each other's skills, cutting off each other and beating off on the road, but of course, safely.

We arrived at my auntie's place about 3pm, with abundance of food waiting for us. There were a huge pot of penang fish curry, a huge pot of asam rebus batang keladi - yummy, tons and tons of ulam with the most delicious sambal belacan, ikan goreng, and acar buah. We indulged into the glorious food immediately. Then, after that, we all took turn in taking shower and did our solat. The guys went to the mosque, which is a stonethrow away from my auntie's house. We lepak and yak like there is no tomorrow. Then, all the makcik2 (& that includes me) started to bring out our respective dish and kuih-muihs that we brought as buah tangan.

Things that were shared :-
My mother-in-law - lemang (12 batangs)
My mom - murtabak boyan (very popular-we had this the next day as breakfast)
My sister-in-law 1 - rendang daging kelantan style
My sister-in-law 2 - apam (keledek flavour) & kek coklat
Myself - Kuih abok2

The above became our tea break meal except for my mom's murtabak boyan. Later that evening, at about 6.30pm, my 2 sister-in-law, my mom, my cousin and I decided to travel down to the Pekan, to look for the wedding cake and some other stuff for the hantarans.

We went all the way down to Giant. This was when I took my chance to visit our Anlene Roadshow booth which was happening there. The crowd was big but the response to the roadshow was ok only. The 'makcik2' took the opportunity to buy some unnecessary stuffs... hehehe, biasalah kan, kata makcik2. I bought the pengantin cake, believe it or not, for only RM25 (1kg). So darn cheap. Over here, it can easily cost you at least RM40. Wow....

By the time, these 'makcik2' arrived safely back at Balik Pulau, it was almost 9.30pm. Huhuhuhu....

One thing for sure, it was blazing hot in Balik Pulau. I perspired non-stop even after shower. Tak larat beb... panas gilerrrr!!! That night, my children and I could hardly sleep. Ain kept on waking up in the middle of the night to ask for water........

The next day, our day started very early. My duty was to heat up the 'murtabak boyan'. Mom and my auntie busy making pots and pots of drinks, ada kopi, ade teh susu, ada teh o, ade nescafe..... macam2 ade. Actually we planned to cook nasi lemak that morning but due to so much of food still available on the table, we decided to scrap the nasi lemak from our main menu!!!

Right after breakfast, I head the hantaran troop and started to show off my hidden skills. I made the 'sirih junjung', touch up a lot of the unfinished job of other hantarans, and by noon, everything settled. Then, it was time to get ready for the majlis akad nikah. It was held at one of the mosque there (there were so many mosques in that one small area, I am amazed). There were roughly about 15 cars altogether sending the pengantin lelaki (who is hubby's sister's son). Akad nikah happenend at about 2pm. It took him 3 times to lafaz the akad & nikah before he was confirmed as the Husband of his spouse. And thank god, it was raining at that moment. At least, it helped to make the weather slightly cooler. Alhamdulillah....

Then, all of us, that 15 cars convoyed to the bride's house. Had our lunch there and right after that, headed back to my auntie's house. Time was almost 4pm. It was time to pack and hubby decided to balik kampung and stay one night at his mom's place. We overnight there and
Monday morning at about 11am, we headed home blissfully. We took the back road and it was a smooth journey. Alhamdulillah.....

Betrayed - What would you do?

2006-04-20T13:44:00.000+08:00

have you ever experienced this before? Betrayed?

Was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and this topic was brought up. What if this happen to you, what would you do? hmmmm, well, something to make you ponder and appreciate your partner, before everything is too late!!

Creativity Unspoken

2006-04-18T08:48:00.000+08:00

I bet you guys can already guess who did this. I got shocked when I saw it.

It was written on one of the walls in Khalis's room.

Well, when you have growing up kids with full of creativity, you have to expect more than this, I supposed!

Ain First Work

2006-04-17T11:09:00.000+08:00

Ain's first touch on taking pictures. Considered oklah! She takes pictures of almost anything that she can capture. Some funny pictures were taken, mama tgh lepak lah, tok tgh bersembanglah, nenek tgh rileks lah, baba tgh tidolah, ait, gambar belon pun ade, aunty yayah baru abis solat pun kena jugak. Haa, tu mama nampak gambar kotak Honey Star pun ade, eh..ehh.. gambar TV baru ain pun ade!!!

Agaknya kalau tanya Ain nak jadi ape (at this moment) her answer could be Photographer kot.

Kentut = Fart

2006-04-17T10:56:00.000+08:00

Look at how sheepishly someone can be after he/she did the most gross out thing in the world. That's how my hubby, my khalis, and now even my ain looked after they did their 'unscrupulous' business.

The sound sometimes scares the hell-out-of-me but the smell kills my nose.

However, there is this rule that it is a MUST-DO-AFTER-YOU-FART, or else, Ain will haunt you physically until you say it out loud. After every fart that you make, you must always say 'Excuse Me'! Then she will reply with eeeeeiiii, busukkk. But if she is the one who is doing the business, she herself will say excuse me and then ask everybody to tutup hidung pasal busuk...

Anyway, I just feel sharing this funny bit with you guys (Baba, jgn mare ye). On Saturday nite, it was very almost 4am when I woke up and realised hubby was not in the room. I found him sleeping in Ain's room. So I snugged to him. As he was cuddling me tight, then I heard a thunderous sound. Then he said, "Excuse Me!". I just smiled and tried to continue sleeping. However, the smell of rotten egg woke me up and made me awake for the rest of the nite (whatever is left). Disgusting!!!. Hubby just couldnt stop laughing. Jahat kan!

A moment with Nurul Ain

2006-04-10T17:36:00.000+08:00

Another classic by my girl!

She is an absolute joker, if she wants to. Not afraid of people, is full of self-confident and can shout loud at those who bully her, especially when plays at public areas like playgrounds, etc.

Some of her classic remarks that can put a twinge of smile onto your unsmiling face:-

1- Her grandma and her aunties were chit-chatting away and suddenly auntie yayah said to auntie jijie, 'eh, kau nie pelupa lah, mengalahkan orang tua.' Suddenly out of the blue, Ain menyampuk innocently, 'eh, auntie jijie tak tua lah, Tok yang tua!' .... kuang kuang kuang

2- She was asked by her grandma to pick up a dirty brick in the backyard. As she was about to touch the thing, she realised the brick was very dirty. So she said 'eeeee, nenek, taknak lah, kotor.' Then her nenek scolded her 'eiiii, mengada betullah budak nie. benda tu kotor sikit je pun tak boleh angkat. macamlah rumah die tu bersih sangat.' Out of the blue, unexpectedly Ain answered, again innocently, 'rumah adik bersih. ada bibik bersihkan. bibik kemas atas, kemas kat bawah. ha, rumah nenek takde bibik.' boleh gituk?

3- there was this t-shirt that i love to wear. it has this on the front - BIG or SMALL. Ain was busy reading the alphabets and I taught her word by word. Right after that, she suddenly shouted, BIG or SMALL - tetek mama! haaaaa, amik kau!

There were a few more classics from her. But now I have to rush back. Will try to update some more after tomorrow.

To all, selamat menyambut Maulidur Rasul. Semoga kita semua dilimpahi anugerah keberkatan dari Rasul Terulung, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. Esok kat my house ada sambutan maulidurrasul... mehlah datang ke sini ramai2....

Anak dara 3 pingitan

2006-04-10T14:00:00.000+08:00

From far left :-

Zura, Vivian and Lilian.

Zura handles recruitment, Vivian is also doing training and Lilian is our part time logistic person. All of us click well and we are the noisiest among the rest. Our training and recruitment department is the most happening department and with the loudest and highest energy level in the whole company.

Imagine, those who are sitting near the entrance, which is actually located in another department, can hear us laughing and talking... phew... very d'LOUD. Sorry horrrr, please don't blame us. We are just having fun while cracking our brains working!!!!!! huhuhuhu......

Backstabbed

2006-04-10T12:34:00.000+08:00

used to be a neighbour, then remained as friend, until 4 months ago turned to be a colleague and now a deadly foe (SECRETLY)... this is how it all started.....

I have hired a PR (pembantu rumah) early last month. So a lot of my daily chores have been eased with her around. Now I can proudly say my house is sparkling clean from top to bottom. So kalau tetiba ade tetamu yang muncul, takde lah malu sangat. Syukur Alhamdulillah..... see it for yourselves... hehehehe

My PR is very helpful and also very loving towards my children. She has been married for almost 11 years but still no rezeki. So she pours out her love and care to my children. She takes care of my house pretty well and within a week, we clicked very well. She tells me almost everything. However, what she told me last week was very hurting and upsetting.

My PR stays nearby my parents' area, which used to be where I stayed. And it so happened she knows many people that I also know. Hence, there is this ONE ungrateful person came to her and ask her to work for this person and is willing to pay her higher than what I pay her, just to make her work at this person's house.... how irritating and what a backstabber this person is...

And this person is the one that I helped most... not to ask anything in return, but at least respect lah, what can be done rightly or not kan.... so now I really don't know what to do... am so furious and upset over the whole thing. In the end, malas nak layan my rage, I decided not to talk to this person. Just to ensure I won't blow out at this person unnecessarily. Bley tak?

Swopping Time

2006-04-10T12:07:00.000+08:00

Major clean up happened on Saturday. I decided to swop Khalis and Ain's room. Everybody contributed to the swopping.... Khalis, Ain, Baba, Mama and Bibik. Sama2 gotong royong buat kerja... sungguh mudah dan cepat. By lunch time, everything was done and settled.

2006-04-10T11:46:00.000+08:00

This was the ticket that I won from FlyFm. 4 tickets in total. Thus I decided to bring my 3 colleagues, my dearest Vivian, my darling Zura and the one and only batang in the department, my new baby Kevin.

Before the show, we had a good, luxury dinner at Mantra, Sunway Pyramid. Good, glorious food, I must say. Had a few round of bitching sessions and bonding sessions too.

The movie was good. Those dog lovers out there (including hubby and ain, in particular), this movie is NOT for you. Yeah, read my lips again, NOT FOR YOU!!! For your hearts will break, and you will cry deeply and weep at the so-many-unsightful-things happening to the dogs. The dogs were genious and gorgeous, beautiful and smart, cute and lovable. Very endearing movie that will break thousands hearts of dog-lovers out there!

In summary, I had - Great Nite! Glorious Food! Wonderful Movie! and the most important of all, Excellent Companions!!!!

(btw, this happened exactly a week ago - 3rd April 2006) More pix and stories at http://www.whitehorse2099.blogspot.com

First fight with My Boy

2006-03-29T08:20:00.000+08:00

Am a bit emo this morning... last night for the first time I had a fight with my boy.

He was already moody when I fetched him from my mom's place. When I asked him whether he has done his revision (mcm selalu lar, I always ask them lots of questions in the car, on our way back home), he answered NO. Asked him whether he has eaten, he answered NO. Asked him why NO to both questions, he answered TIRED.

He was very quiet throughout the journey, very not usual. Ain was very talkative, singing away Zahid's songs and all. In my heart, probably he was VERY tired. When we reached home, Khalis said he was hungry. Told him to bring up all his stuff and come down for dinner, and he did exactly. During dinner, he was again very quiet. I asked him again whether he has any homework to do, this time he answered YES, MATHS. Told him to do it after dinner.

Right after dinner, he went up. I assumed he would do his homework. But his baba went up to check on him while I was busy clearing the dishes and all, he was actually gazing away. Baba asked him to quickly do his homework, he answered I DONT KNOW. So baba asked him to come down and get mama's help as he was already rushing for work. This was when 'my blood really go upstairs....'

He brought down his stuff and showed to me. So I explained to him. He looked very spaced out. Tried several times to bring him back to his work, but he seemed not interested at that moment. I was really chissed off. I started to raise my voice. The main reason I was very upset was because the stuff that he needs to do was considered a revision to him. But he looked damn freaking blurr and totally spaced out. My blood was boiling 120% at that moment. Immediately I chased him off and to do it on his own.

My poor boy, he ran upstairs, slammed his room door. I tried to cool off for a moment, took my shower and solat. After that, I checked him, he was actually packing his bag for the next day's timetable. I asked him, whether he has finished his homework, he TOTALLY INGORED ME!!!
I asked him whether he wanted to talk to me... he just shook his head and refused to talk to me.
My heart went berserk and I was confused myself. I went back to my room and continued reading to Ain.

About 1/2 hour later, Khalis came to me with his eyes bulging out. He suddenly hugged me and cried like there was no tomorrow. I almost cried myself but I tried to be strong. I asked him what happened. He said SORRY. He was just to tired to think. And he promised to do his howmework today. He said his Maths teacher gave them until end of this week to finish off the work.

Then, I told him, he should have told me that he is tired and he could actually stretch the homework until end of this week. Again he said Sorry MAMA, which definitely melted my heart. I told him, next time please don't do it again. And now everything is back to normal again.

I never knew the challenges of raising up children will come that early in my doorsteps. Not sure whether I am ready for them, but I will definitely take one step at a time.

How time flies, my little boy is growing up and showing tantrums already!!!! isk..isk...isk...

I Win Again

2006-03-28T08:39:00.000+08:00

Not really sure how true this is. But this morning, the moment I stepped into the office, my boss said I WIN AGAIN!

Yes, I did participated in one of FlyFM contest, i.e. Movie of the Week. Apparently, my name was announced on air several times. But I did not receive a call from them at all. So the situation now really beats me.

Maybe I should call them. I tried visiting their website and sent email to them, but undeliverable due to unkown hosting. Huh, got such thing ar?

If it is true that I have won yet again, then maybe I should participate in their Mash For Cash, which now amounts to RM8,200 (the last I heard). Manalah tahu, kalau betul rezeki Allah nak bagi, huhuhu, will be RM8,200 richer.... MasyaAllah.......

It's ok to CRY

2006-03-26T14:26:00.000+08:00

Why Women Cry

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said "When I made the woman she had to be special.I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,yet gentle enough to give comfort.I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

To all women out there, this entry is for you!!!

Etc, Etc, Etc

2006-03-26T11:51:00.000+08:00

This is Gabriel, my colleague. He had an allergy to some pills the other day, poof, his face was puffed like 'char siew pau'. I sent him to one of our panel clinic. When he already went in to see the doctor, there was this lady or rather 'nyonya' but speaks excellent english, came to me and say "Is that your son?" I was appalled. Took me a few minutes before I managed to answer her. "NO! That's my colleague."

"What happened to his face? Was he in a fight with someone?" Arrrgggghhhhh, I almost pulled my hair!!!!!

A 'kain rentang' I saw on my way to work. I even saw some people doing picketing over the oil price hike.

Interesting ain't it?

Wajah adinda ku yang dalam kerinduan. Sabar ye dik, 7th April is just 2 weeks away.

See you soon okies!

(Notice the puffed eye - result of crying due to homesick. Kelakarlah kau nie)

This pix was taken in the year 1992. A pix with full of memories. Lun, I_mshe... does this pix bring you back in time???

I wonder where were you I_mshe? Could you be the one who was taking the photo? I couldn't recall! Enlighten me pleaase!!!

2006-03-26T11:28:00.000+08:00

Later, will have to bring the kids to their ever favourite McD. Make them promise me to behave while I work and baba has to finish up his thesis. In return, they want me to buy them McD. Huhuhu, kids nowadays so clever in bargaining.

Adegan yang TIDAK ingin kita lihat & dengar (probably)

2006-03-20T11:57:00.000+08:00

Scene 1

Khalis skipped his Taekwondo class last Saturday just to follow Mama & Baba for a shopping spree. What a sacred sacrifice, my boy! Mama appreciates it soooo much, but don’t do it too often ok darling!

Scene 2

One long week – school holiday and nothing was achieved. There were numerous plans but all were cancelled due to Mama was called back to work. So there it went, the Science Centre Visit, the Aqua Centre Visit, the Bukit Merah Laketown Trip, the Library Visit and a lot more!!! Kesiannya my children. Babies, mama & baba owe you guys a lot. We shall pay back, very soon. Thanks for being so understanding. They have been behaving well!!

Scene 3

A small renovation is going on in my small kitchenette. Expected date to siap is early March. But until now masih ongoing, tak siap2 lagik. Memang cekik darah betul lah. Suka hati dia je nak datang buat, dia buat, kalau sibuk kat tempat lain, sesuka hati ponteng. Lepas tu, salah buat. Different size of the table top at a different place. Bley…. Hubby memang fening lalat layan contractor sorang nih… but to pay it off, their workmanship is wonderful. Hubby is not complaining on the workmanship so, takpelah kalau buat slow-slow. But, but, but, aku yang sakit hati… dapur berselerak, habuk merata rumah, barang-barang bersepah…. Ish, ish, ish!!!

Scene 4

People, read this carefully and clearly…. My daughter, Nurul Ain Elisya is a racist!!!! I just found out why she decided to skip school. The other day, while I was chit chatting with her, this came out from her sweet little mouth….

Mama : Ain, nape ain taknak school? Pegi school kan best, ade kawan, ade teacher, boleh belajar, ade nyanyi2, boleh colour drawings???

Ain : Taknak, Ain taknak sekolah ‘Bistari’ (her ex-school’s name). Sekolah tu takde mickey mouse!!

Mama : Ain nak sekolah mickey mouse kat mana?

Ain : Tu kat depan umah sana tu!!! Mama, sekolah tu ade teacher indian ke ade teacher melayu?

Mama : Huhhhh? Teacher Indian? Teacher Melayu? Kenape?

Ain : Kalau teacher Indian, Ain tak nak sekolah lah kat sekolah yang ade mickey mouse tu, Ain nak sekolah yang ade Teacher Melayu je!!!!
Alamak, sejak biler pulak anak aku nie jadi racist!!!! Oh GAWDDDDDD!!!!

Scene 5

Conversation heard between Ain and Baba

Ain : Baba, hari nie Baba work ke baba tak work?

Baba : Baba work lah dik!

Ain : oooooooooooohhhh! Baba, hari nie baba naik basikal ke baba tak naik basikal?

Baba : Tak, baba tak naik basikal la, hari hujan!

Ain : Baba, nak makan koko krunch ke baba tak nak makan koko krunch?

Baba : Hmmmmmm….

Adegan yang ingin kita lihat & dengar (probably)

2006-03-20T11:55:00.000+08:00

Scene 1

Conversation between Khalis and Ain in the car this morning….

Khalis : Adik, Abang wants to go to 7-Eleven. I want to buy roti pizza. Adik, what do you want?

Ain : Yayyyy! I want to biskut!!!

Khalis : Eh, adik cakap ape ni mama? I want to biskut??? No lah dik, I want to buy biscuits!! Bukan ‘biskut’, itu cakap org melayu lah….

Hai lah anak aku!!!!

Scene 2

I am in my new outfit which I bought over the weekends. Spent like there is no tomorrow. Well, can’t blame me for the shopping. There is ‘sale’ everywhere. Delicious to the physical outlook, but painful in the pocket. Burnt big, huge, humongous hole in pocket. Have to puasa for the next few months to cover the daily expenses, I supposed!! But on second thoughts, I think with the confident that I am carrying right now and the wonderful feeling I have, looking good and all, aaaaahh, what the heck!!!! Worth every single cent.

Scene 3

Hubby is contemplating to buy a car. But cannot decide which one…. Huhuhu, I like!!! Must bring him shopping more often, so that we will bump into many car showroom salesmen’s freak that are good in convincing him to get a new car. Hehehehe, so kita tengok je lah nanti ya!!!!

Scene 4

Mom called me on Saturday to check whether we want to join them for a family outing in Laguna Redang. Jijie managed to get a good deal from the Matta Fair. After discussing it with hubby, we decided to skip this trip. Nothing much to do in Laguna Redang, unless you are a real beach bum. So we opted for Cherating trip. Sometime in June, during school holidays, yelah, aku nie kan mempunyai anak yang masih bersekolah. So terpaksalah plan any holiday trip during the school break. Yeayyyyy, another trip, InsyaAllah!

Scene 5

Friday 14th March – My youngest sister, Adik, called up with a very sad tone. She is homesick. The last trip she made here was during Hari Raya Puasa, that were months ago. No wonder she is sooooo homesick. Bought her return ticket (AirAsia, of course) on 7th April 2006. That is when she is having her 2 weeks study leave before her final exam. Welcome home, Sis. We miss you lots toooooooo!!!!!

Scene 6

Another conversation heard between Khalis and Ain….

Khalis : Adik, you want this or not?

Ain : Not!!!

Mama & Baba : Huuhhhh?

What kind of language is that???? Bley

Hari ini dalam Sejarah

2006-03-01T19:59:00.000+08:00

I was so tight up yesterday until I made a big blooper, that until now I have yet to absorb it into my brain. Was that me who made that blooper?

It started when one of my colleague who is actually my ex-neighbourla, asked me whether she can car pool with me back home because her hubby was outstation. I told her, if she is willing to wait, then by all means. At least I would have a nice companion throughout my 45 minutes journey home.

By 7.20pm, I was almost ready to go back, but there were still a few more stuff that I need to settle. I asked her to give me another 5 minutes more. She said No Problem. Right after that, I heard from my another colleague that our main client was on their way to our office to discuss about their Roadshow which we are their main coordinator. In order to avoid meeting the client (or else I would have to camp in the office), I decided to quickly pack my stuff and ciao. And that's exactly what I did.

I went down to basement to get my car, and happily drove away. Upon reaching a BP petrol kiosk (which was about 1km away from my office), I decided to swerve into the station to withdraw money (which I never did in my whole entire working in this office). While the process, Selipar Jepun came and sergah me (couldnt find the english word for sergah!! can somebody help me). and the conversation went like this :-

ME : Oooi, lambat balik arini??
SJ : Ha'ah, hubby aku kena kerja luar arini!
ME : Oh yeke, eh ALAMAKKKKKK, aku terlupa Kak Pizah lah, laki die pun keje luar arini!!! Die sepatutnya tumpang aku. Dia tengah tunggu aku kat opis la!!
SJ : Haaaaa, kau nie sampai hati tinggalkan die!

So, the next very minute, I was on the phone with my colleague (Kak Pizah)...

ME : Kaaaaak, kau kat mana nih?
KP : kat opis lah, tunggu emmy!!! Naper...
ME : Kak, emmy dah terluperkan akak la, aku dah ade kat BP station nih. Nasib baiklah aku ni tak pergi jauh lagik. Jalan ke sini boleh ke??
KP : Oklah, tapi akak jalan slow2 eh!
ME : Ok, emmy tunggu!!!

Bley tak???

Even until now I am still in disbelief. This is soooo not me. When she safely arrived at my car, both of us laughed out loud and through all the way back!!!!!

What I Owe Those Who Tagged Me

My Bag (which is the current one I am using la. I change bag every 2 weeks, ok)

Black has always been my choice. It goes well with whatever you are wearing, and I have less to worry in my list, then. This is my Ferragamo bag, given to me as my Birthday Present 3 years ago, by a very special friend of mine. (However, I have a confession. I have changed my bag again, today. As I write this entry, I am already carrying a different bag, huhuhuhu, which is also black in colour). I failed miserably if ever there is 'Bag Loyalty Award.'

What I have inside my bag, I am truly amazed myself. I didn't even realise I carry so many things in my bag everyday. So here we go.

1- coin pouch - i have tonnes of 1cents in it, including a minyak kapak and a few pins

2- my touch card cum name tag (to enter office & to put it on everyday, ya, as if they don't know who is the ever popular MamaEmmy-but of course, professionally, minus the mama)

3- my pantyliner - hey, I am woman you know

4- my ever faithful bedak baby johnson - goes with me everywhere I go

5- small note book - to write idiotic stuffs la, what else

6- 3 packs of tissue - I simply don't know where they came from (after looking at d pix properly, I think I have 4 packets of them la, oh gosh!)

7- bank books - mine and the children's. I always have them in my bag, in case I have extra cash to spare, what I do is, I drop to the nearest bank and bank in some hard cold cash la (which happens not very often, I must say)

8- office keys and car keys - benda biasalah tu

9- some ang pows that I received on behalf of my children from colleagues and friends

10- duit raya - which were not fully used in the previous 2 Rayas, saper nak duit raya, mari sini

11- business card holder - quite obvious

12 - 3 pens - one is my sis bought for me from London, one is my normal pen with black & red ink, and the other one is from my office, I know I am a cheapskate)

13- autopass card - the one we used when we enter singapore, huhuhu, hey I still visit friends and relatives back there

14- last but not least - the small black cute little thing, my wallet. with lots of rubbish and little money in it!

Hmmmm, not bad huh! Not many stuffs la actually. Thanks goodness!!!!

Fighting For Time

2006-02-27T10:23:00.000+08:00

There is a saying that goes - Time is Money, Time is Precious, Time is Gold!! It is so true. I am now seriously fighting for Money, Precious, Gold. I am physically fighting for TIME!

Miraculously, everybody has the same amount of time in a day. Some, being excellent in time management, are able to manage their daily time well (of course, i am NOT in this list). However, many are unable to control and use the given time accordingly (haaaa, i am in this category, of course). Many succeed in doing so many things within the given 24hours daily. They even have time to spend for their own soul searching. Me, I don't even have time to eat proper lunch, toilet break, solat like only 5 minutes (minus the doa's after solat), and worse, at times, I dont even have to call home to check on my children. Oh man, where do I go wrong?
