Quicky updates...

I wanted to write about something else actually but I dont think the time is right to write about that...

Last month towards the end I was occupied with what to wear for our first time company annual dinner. We even booked hotel room to get ready for the 'gala'. Was expecting a great night but eventually it was just so-so. Maybe because my family was not along with me and so many 'over-acting' performance that spoilt my mood plus the 'magnificent' menu(Just look at teh picture). Enjoying a night with entertainment was way pass my time. I would have enjoy it if it was 10 years ago. Am I that old? Or maybe everything means nothing without the people's that really matters by my side.

Last month also, we went to Zoo Melaka. That was nice.. Zoo melaka is actually better than Zoo Negara. At Zoo Negara I smell shit eveywhere. Yucky! But the downside, me n hubby was having stomache ache from dinner the previous night. Damn that nasi daging merah! So our visit there was a brief only. Here are some pictures of the trip.

Smiley Everyone!

Remember Shakeel funny faces expression? Hehe well that was actually his pose when taking pictures. Now it's almost impossible to take normal facial expression of him during a photo shoot. I don't know from who he learns to take picture like this. Make me smile each time i see these pictures. Smiley everyone!

A Singer In the Family

My youngest son loves singing. It started when we bought a nursery ryhme vcd when he was about 7 month old. From that day on, he loves singing. And to proves it, his first word was "ee yaa ee yaa yoo". He also sometimes humming his own song. Here is a clip of him singing "ee yaa ee yaa yoo" and making funny faces. Just ignore the background sound. :)

Hari Raya Faces

Selamat Menyambut Syawal Kepada Seluruh Umat Islam di Dunia.
Maaf Zahir Batin dari kami sekeluarga.

The Office

My husband has bad luck in job's environment everywhere he works. I know that we can not expect much as long as we still work's for other people. The best job is when you are working for your self or you have a 5 digits salary with no burden workload(in my dreams hehe..). Prior to my hubby current job, he worked for 7 years and only got a raised of RM500, after all that years working it is like having a longtime relationship that ended without any outcome. So he quits hoping for a new environment.
Well, it is a new environment indeed, a good company but only one thing that spoils it. His new supervisor a.k.a boss. His boss actually have just been 'awarded' the title 'Manager' for merely more than a year but he is cocky like hell!! Self-fish bugger! (seriously)
He talks arrogantly all the time and like to push around. Always proud with everything he does and brag about it. He has no life, working everyday until night because he can not go home early because he lives far away and only can escape the jam if he goes back late. Worst, since he can not go home early so he stalls his staff from getting home on time. I don't mind during normal working hours but when he does it during fasting month, I am annoyed with it.
As a result, we always break our fast in the car this year. But who am i to whine, I always try to think positive and remind myself that not everything in life is easy. So I have lo learn to live with it!
Back to hubby's boss, every now and then I always wonder and amaze how many type of people there are in this world. Did u ever watch the sitcom 'The Office'? Before this, I thought the scenario in the sitcom is like make believe and real people don't behave like that. But how I was wrong! My hubby's evil boss is much worst that the one in the sitcom. Same annoying behavior but much much worst.
Well, that's life with ups and down. I pray that we can be strong and always remember that all the difficulty in life is a test from GOD.
Dear hubby, please be strong and remember that I will always be there for you for best or for worst. Pray for the best!

tak guna...
uselesss....
bodoh...
bangang...
dah la..
lagi sambung lagi mencarut...

Bad Tailor Year!

Our dreams to have a unified theme this Hari Raya shattered yesterday. Upon arriving at the tailor shop to pick up my hubby's baju melayu and also my baju kurung, I was in shocked to see the baju melayu have turn from purple to blue! The cloth we bought for the baju melayu was a Thai silk (not authentic) where you can wear it double sided. I remember giving it to the tailor as purple on the outside but he accidentally cut the sample cloth and put it in his book wrong sided. Frustrated!

And to make matter worst my baju kurung was done poorly, too big and baggy! What a year! After an episode from the tailor in medan mara now this! I guess no luck for us this year. We wont waste any money to buy another baju melayu. But that will be the last time we would ever hire these two tailor shops, one in Medan Mara (Halina Fashion) and another in UNIKEB, Bangi. My mood for Hari Raya was spoiled just want to focus on my manik's now.

All this frustration have effected my treatment towards my children. I have to get my focus all together again! Dont want to be a bad mom! Please god, help me keep my composure back and feet back up again! Insya -Allah! I love you my sons. Sorry for not being the best that I could. I tried and will not fail to try again and ammend my mistakes.

"Saya takkan maafkan dia.."

Those are the words form a devastated mother to a 11 month baby that died because of the abusive Indonesian maid. This incident had me recalled the video I once received through mail that shows an indonesian maid abusing a toddler about that age. She threw the baby on the sofa and cursing and slapping the toddler ignoring the baby crying continuously. At the point of writing this, I am holding my tears, my heart ache whenever I watch or I read about these incidents. Please GOD, protect my children and my family from all the evil doing in this world. I also pray that this does not happen to me. I rather switch places with my children than let them be suffered.
:( So sad.. indeed.

Bad Dream :(

Yesterday i had a bad and sad dream. I end up sobbing when i woke up and saw my beautiful shakeel smiling at me. Never happen to me before. I hope and pray that the dream is just a dream. Insya allah. Pray for me too.

My current/new hobby

I am currently in a process of knitting 'manik' for my baju raya. This year feels a little excited to melaram. Maybe it is because this year shakeel is able to walk n ready to wear his baju melayu. Last year, he was just a baby. This year also my hubby tempah his baju melayu. Last 2 years, he recycle his baju melayu.
I'll capture my art creation once it has completed. For now, I just attach along some of my art inspirationn that i got from the internet. My baju raya theme this year is in fact PURPLE.

Prime Suspect!!

The picture has nothing to do or related with the topic above. (Just sharing in my blog the two person I most proud of)

6 August 2007 was a bad choice day of my life. For the first time since we were departed to work in a cabin like an immigrant worker, on that day without my notice I was the last one to leave. It was only 6.30 pm and I was busy watching Die Hard 4.0 on my laptop. When I look around I was alone. Luckily my husband arrived sooner after but since I am the last one so I took the responsibility to closed and locked the cabin. Then, following what was instructed I pass the key to the guard in the main building.
What a bad luck, the next day a theft has been taken place. 2 laptop was missing and some even lose some money. Shit! What a smart bum to leave notebooks inside a cabin that has the minimum security available. The grill doesn't have a pad lock at all.
And because I was the last one to leave I have been answering people's question and been interrogate by the person that lost the notebook, by the facilities people and today by Mimos guard. What a luck!! And they are going to report it and for sure i'll be interrogate by the police next. Man...hate it. Whatever it is, the truth will prevail. Praise to Allah!

Changes in Life

I write here usually when there's something keep boggling in my mind. This time it is about changes. My old friend contacted me last week. We were supposed to meet up at my office but her appointment was canceled at the last minutes. She called and we talk awhile catching up past times. But the things that disturb a bit with my mind when she says all my old friends was surprised how i was changed.

I was a bit confused, have i changed? Well, these bunch of old friends was friends from my old days back when i was way younger. They were my friends from sekolah rendah to sekolah menengah rendah up until I was 15 years old. Wow..meaning 15 years have gone already since now i am already 30. So tell me for 15 years who doesn't change? For 15 years, a lot of phase in life has pass through from teens to adult, single to married, daughter to mother and childish to matured.

With that, to answer the question have i changed? OF COURSE! Who's not? Mawi also change what..

Maybe, it is the way i changes that shocked them. When I was at my early teens, i was behaving like i could be a superstar. Up to date attire, social-ling a lot i could say about to loose my composure and thrown to the dark side. Hah! Thats to brutal i think. Hehe.

Maybe again, they might thought after 15 years i could be a posh and classy gal. Wearing branded clothes and blonds hair. Well, i am so glad i do not turn out like that. :)

I believe in changes to be better. I made mistakes in my life and i learn from it. I tried to be a better person maybe some says dah taubat. It is good that people think like that but as a muslimah i believe there are many things that I have to change to really says that I already taubat. :)

Again, maybe because they haven't seen me for years coz when i tell my uni friends regarding these they laugh meaning they could not see a lot of changes. It is what people says the jalan we choose in life. Anyway, when i look around most of people I work with is like me, wearing same type of cloths and style the same. But, I am still evolving to the very least but i always hope for the better.

And so my friends, let us change together.

Viral Fever

Adlan was down with fever last two weeks. His fever reached up to 39.6 celcius when we rush him to Az-zahrah. The fever starts on Monday(14th May 2007) evening, as we were back from work he was sleeping on the sofa. Usually, if he sleeps in the evening until Maghrib it is a symptom for him of not feeling well. As expected, he was really hot. (At that time I was quit annoy with bibik since she should have notice and inform us earlier.)

We rush him to the clinic. The clinic was packed also since they are having cases of a woman with stroke and a man with dengue. What a day! We manage to see the doctor but since she is occupied with the emergency patient she can just prescribed us with the medication.

So we bring Adlan back home and I had to give him the rectal fever medicine to cool his temperature down. The medication only last until early morning. I had to give him again the rectal medicine in the morning since he is still hot.

The situation continue until Thursday when finally his fever begins to gradually begin to cool down. During that time we rush him twice to Az-zahrah and he was being sponge with water and been blood tested. Luckily he was ok by the time his sport's day which was on Sunday.

Im glad Shakeel does not become infectious with the fever. An experience of taking care of a sick child is always suspense and heart breaking. Anyway, this is the picture of Adlan on his Sport's Day. Just about time with his recovery.

Langkawi Trip

Family Trip To Langkawi

After flipping coins several times whether to go or not to go, finally we went to Langkawi. What a trip! Never had a vacation this tiring but we enjoy it very much! We were join with mi n abah and pijae at Langkawi. Accommodation, transportation and food are well taken care by our sister, kak yah. That saves a lot! We stayed at their house a quarters in MRSM Langkawi. But we manage to spend what we save on chocolates and shopping at Idaman Suri! We arrived in Langkawi Friday night by air with MAS. Totally different experience with Air Asia. My son even got a blanket even for a short trip. Very helpful and world class stewardess. Thumbs up!
In Langkawi, we go island hopping, cable car ride, taking pictures in Telaga Harbour, dataran helang and shopping in Kuah town. Really nice trip since we were join by Mi and abah, pijae and Kak Yah family. Adlan also enjoy mandi manda at Pantai Beras Basah and playing with his cousins. Shakeel enjoys cuddling and full breasfeeding for the whole weekends i guess hihi. But he enjoys looking at the view and watching birds.
We were back to Sepang on Monday noon by air with Air Asia. We are lucky enough to get on board of the new Airbus. Nice seats but still compact compare to MAS and the stewardess really thumbs down. She does not even have the initiative to pick up shakeel shoe when it drops in front of her! Anyway that really does not spoil our wonderful vacation. Hope more great times to come. Syukur. Alhamdulillah.

A Trip to Genting

Guess what? Before this I never went to Genting. Soo 'daaraat' of me.

We went to genting on 23rd April 2007. First day we stayed at Awana Genting hotel. Nice hotel, nice view and nice breakfast. We had a pleasent stay here. We even got 2 complemetary tickets for the genting skyway cable car.

The 2nd day, we check in at First World hotel. I tell you DONT STAY HERE. The room is small and smelly. The toilet can only fit for one person and it is smelly. Urine smell. I had a nightmare staying here. We dont change room since we thought we just want to stay one night here and we want to spend most of our time at the theme park. But that was a mistake. i got sick coming back form first world.Huhu.First World, First and Last TIME

New Year's Update

I wont call it as 'new' since it is already April. hehe. Anyway, as usual with blogging. Can only update when have the mood. The time is always there but to get the mood of writing for me it is a rare occasion.
Well, what's new ya! My shakeel will turn 1 year this 25th. Time goes so fast when it involves a growing child. Times flies with shakeel, with adlan not. Maybe because with adlan it was the first time parenthood experience. For us, we make a lot of mistakes raising the first child. I blame myself for not able to breasfeed adlan. That's why i think adlan always got sick and now with asthma but thank god he is recovering.
Next, my hubby gets a new job! Finally, he managed to get out of the grip of Maimunah's empayer! Hope that this new place will make our life easier. Pray and praise to God. Insya Allah. But alast, new place, new boss, new custom, new politics,new situation and new problem! Nowhere is perfect unless u work for your self. My husband new boss now I called mr. poyo. Why? Maybe if there is somthing interesting happen I'll share it here. For now, just let him be just mr. Mcpoyo. haha!
What's more..hmm i think I'll continue with the next topic since I want to share to u all regarding my trips to genting. Read on!
