Please Don't Cry...

My KTVH manual editing done this morning before I started work in office. What a relieve. Sangat lega. Rasa mcm ringan sebelah bahu. Alhamdulillah, selesai satu lagi fasa. Sekarang proses edit di skrin pula. It suppose to be easier since saya cuma perlu betulkan ikut manual editing. Macam cikgu marking kertas kerja students... this is what an amateur writer like me does... hu hu... sebab tu lambat...

Tadi Didik kept saying, "Ummi, janganlah buat kerja komputer lagi. Adik nak tidur dgn Ummi... adik sayang Ummi...."

Saya kata, "Kalau adik sayang Ummi, adik tidur dulu ya. Teman abang tu... Ummi buat kerja sikit lagi. Nanti Ummi tidur sebelah adik ye... nanti kalau Ummi ada duit lebih, kita beli robot ya..."

There, integriti dari rumah ya... hu hu... tak niat nak rasuah. It would be a reward for him allowing me to stay a little bit longer with KTVH hu hu... bacakan doa tidur, tepuk2 dan nyanyi2 sikit, dia pun tido... selamat....

Sakit bahu, sakit mata, sakit kepala... let's stop and rest sekejap while listening to this song ya. Lagu yg kami nyanyi dalam hall setiap hari selama 3 bulan, just to get our tongue familiar with better English's pronunciation

Other Half


4U My Dearest Other-Half, 

In this blessed marriage of ours
Undoubtedly we've had some highs and lows
And it hasn't always been a bed of roses
But as time goes by
By sharing the sunlight and sometimes brave the cold
We survived to get through it all

I know that it doesn't always show, but....
Thank you for being such 
a wonderful other-half of mine.

********************************

Terima kasih Tuhan di atas pinjaman-Mu
yang masih dipanjangkan ini...
Alhamdulillah

********************************

Notes to remember :

When Babang still suffering his diarrhoea (getting minor), n Didik needs to have his pneumococcal injection, n saya sendiri dah 2 hari tak sedap badan... ambil day off, bawa kids ke klinik, then berdua dgn my other half menyimen di blkg rumah No.23...
org IWK lalu and said,
"La... renyai-renyai menyimen?
Hmm... elok pula tu, suami-isteri sama-sama menyimen..."
or it can be translated this way : 
"Oh, how sweet, the husband and wife together under the dizzling menyimen rumah..."
dan saya akan tambah, "...on our 7th anniversary..."
Hu hu....

Better Spoken English

Just woke up from my b4 Asar nap. My fever seems gone. Tp sy rs sedikit sesak nafas. Mlm tadi tak blh tidur tp tak sampai hati nak kejut Papa yg sgt lena. Dekat jam 5 a.m baru lelap. Sllnya kalau begini, the attack is likely spying on me lah tu... Ventolin inhaler dh hbs, nk ajak Papa pi beli nnt.

I had 2 days course of Better Spoken English on last 20-21 Feb. Ms dpt email ttgnya, tak fikir pjg terus register. Budak2 opis ni kata ia cuma course nyenyanyi. Tak pa lah, sy mmg suka benda2 yg berkaitan bhs n nyanyi2 ni. Release sikit kepala... lgpun dlm setiap sesuatu pasti ada ilmu yg tersembunyi.

Bkn ramai yg suka bljr bhs. It would be boring n sleepy. Sbb tu belajar English, the most effective n attractive way is menyanyi! hu hu...

Lagipun dh lm tak pi kinda English course. Last I had was the 3 months English course provided for MRSM students while waiting for SPM result. Hmm... teringat kenangan tu.... n the song "Jimmy.. Jimmy please don't cry..."

When we nervous, it's not that we feel like there are butterlies in our stomach anymore,
but the butterflies do feel worse hu hu...
enrich vocab so we would not be gropping for words...
and it build our confidence level as well in public speaking.

Lot's of things yg sy pelajari. Bkn skdr ttg English n refreshing grammar, tp sy adored fascilitatornya. At 57, she looks very much younger, coloured with smile, very energetic n generous with abundance of experience. Some dh jd idea utk sy menulis. Sy mmg suka dgr cerita n pengalaman org sbnrnya...

Yg comelnya. we share the same ambitious in reading n we fill our handbag with bookI called her Prof even dia PM, tak pelah kan... Prof kata, having book to read, adalah salah satu cara kita kawal kebosanan dan kemarahan. Hu hu.. betul-betul-betul.

Memandang Prof ni, sy teringat Mel dlm MDH sy. I guess my Mel (MDH) is as petite and as pretty as her. Waktu menulisnya, I tried hard to imagine someone pretty at age of 50, but definitely tak blh ambil sample Anita Sarawak ok! Now I found one. Tp tk blh nk buat apa2 perubahan lg krn ia dh di tgn penerbit. Aduhai... lmbtnya 2014 ni... penantian mmg satu penyeksaan.

Among those I learned n refreshed from BSE:

1) Smile from your heart - secret of beauty n self cleansing method
2) Read more n write more to sharpen our English
3) Push aside inhibition n be child again if we want to learn

4) Anger is just a choice. We can choose to be angry n we can also choose to be not. Hmm... it is not that easy in reality... Pesan Papa Nasir kalau sdg mrh, pi amek wudhu n baca ayat Qursy.

5) Don't just wish to be able to speak English. Speak it! Now, working around without non-Malay, agak sukar utk sy lakukannya. Unlike when we work in private. 

6) To be a good English speaker, you can't avoid to learn grammar. There are 12 TENSES in English okay. Knp slm ni sy sll fikir cuma ada 4 je? Oh my grammar....

7) Avoid the Manglish. I used Manglish mostly in FRAN hu hu...
8) Give more love, n u get more of them.
9) Be HUMAN, be POLITE n be ANIMATED!

Okay, let's us twist our tongue with this English poem. Tiap kali pi English course, it seems to be the compulsary poem to be read... hu hu....

I take it you already know
of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you
on hiccough, thorough, slough and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead; it's said like bed, not bead.
For goodness sake, don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
They rhyme with suite and straight and debt

A month is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,
And then there's dose and rose and lose --
Just look them up -- and goose and choose,
And cork and work and card and ward
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart --
Come, come, I've hardly made a start.

A dreadful language? Man alive,
I mastered it when I was five.

Gulai Udang Boncit Papa

Having cold n fever. Should've take a nap by now sbb dah telan ubat. Papa dah berdengkur depan TV. Didik sdg jadi Ultraman dan Babang di tuition. Tapi mata blm reti nak lelap lagi. Get into FRAN. Hmm... ulung-ulung ada kwn baru singgah FRAN. Sekali singgah minta resepi pula hu hu...

Honestly sy tak pandai masak. Nk bg resepi pun tergaru kepala dok ingat sml. Kalau ada udang, blh juga sambil masak sambil tulis. Papa Nasir pun actually few months ni asyik berkias, "Hmm.. dah lamanya tak mkn udang..". sambil jeling2 sy. Eleh, kalau nak suh masakkan, beli la udang tu kat pasar. Masalahnya dia nk pi masuk laut cari udang le tu! No, no, no... at least, not now... cuaca tak elok kan...

Sy kalau msk ikut dan je, ikut sesuka hati n sesuka rasa (sbb tu kdg jadi, mostly kena repair). As to respect  Intishaar ID's request, n as my own record sy simpan resepi yg sy beri tajuk (mcm mss pula) Gulai Udang Boncit Papa krn ia adalah favourite suami saya.. hu hu..

Gulai Udang Boncit Papa

Bahan2 :
Udang besar / udang galah secukupnya
Kacang buncis bbrp tangkai (sy suka potong dua je, biar panjang)
Bbrp tangkai cili api (I never used since anak2 tak mkn pedas)
1 inci kunyit hidup (serbuk pun boleh tp kurang wangi)
Santan kelapa (kepekatan ikut suka n kesihatan sendiri)
Bawang merah, bwg putih (ada yg tak buh bwg putih dlm gulai, terpulang)
Setangkai serai
Sehelai daun kunyit
Garam, gula, perasa

Cara-cara :
1) Perah santan n masukkan ke dlm periuk.
2) Kisar/tumbuk bebawang, cili api n kunyit lalu tuang ke dlm periuk santan td.
3) Masukkan serai n daun kunyit.
4) Masakkan di atas api sederhana besar.
5) Masak gulai kn sll 'timbuk' @ kacau kuahnya agar santan tak pecah minyak.
6) Sy masukkan semua bhn a masakkan hingga didih sbb Ibu kata ia akan lbh sebati.
7) Bila kuah dah masak atau 1st didih tu, baru masukkan udang.
8) Timbuk lg sekejap biar udang masak sikit.
9) Masukkan kcg boncit (masukkan lambat sbb tak mahu ia jadi lembik sgt)
10) Bubuh garam secukupnya.
11)Sedikit gula jika suka (Mak kata mskn lebih berseri letak gula).
12)Last, sy suka letak sikit perasa kiub ayam Knorr sbb nak bagi ia manis2 cam tu. Sbb rumah saya tak pernah guna ajinomoto hu hu... sikit je, secubit cam tu... kalau byk jd gulai ayam lah pulak...

Gambar ulangan Gulai Udang Boncit Papa
dr sharing Jelajah Joran dan Kenangan Si Kunang-kunang

Hari ni msk seafood tomyam, goreng ayam style KFC n goreng sayur je... saya tak larat, demam.. Babang mkn bertambah 2 kali, Didik as usual asyik hirup sup...

Hari ni juga I guess wedding Faizal Daros (xTSSB) di N9.  Akak wish to be there, tapi keadaan n kesihatan tak mengizinkan. Selamat pengantin baru utk Faizal Daros n Qistina! Semoga bahagia sampai syurga.

The Stepmother

It's a novel by Carrie Adams, an author of The Godmother yg diadaptasi kpd filem. 352 pages n it cost me only RM8.00 in Big Bad Wolf 2012 hu hu...

The Stepmother. Terbayang mak tiri Cindirella? That's a typical perception. Can we ever imagine if one day the Cindirella is written in the opposite version? I grab this book for purpose. Seriously I need to see 'stepmother' from fiction's literature point of view. Overall, saya suka novel ini. Ia adalah realiti kehidupan. Certain shj yg tak suits our culture n religion. Ignore.



Bea n James berpisah krn Bea fikir suaminya tak cope up dgn hidup mereka n put every burden on her shoulder. After the 3rd baby, Bea pregnant lg n decided not to have that one sbb dia tertekan. It became issue bila James tak blh terima kenyataan Bea murdered their baby boy tapi blh pula terima bila Bea said it wasn't his. They divorced. Bea being a single parent, raised her daughters with her mother's support walaupun that was the last choice on the earth..

After 4 years, James akur Bea mmg tak akan kembali. The day Bea nak confess she wants to be with James again, it's too late. He found a girl name Tessa King - a lawyer in recording co. aged mid 30s. He falls in love again. So, Bea keep in herself the dreams and became worst. 

On the other hand, Tessa had hard times to adapt as a stepmother to be. Especially dealing with James's eldest's 14 years old daughter.  However, Tessa came crossed sesuatu pd sikap n sifat James yg contributed to his last marriage failure. Knowing his fiancee's ex-wife, learning all the flaws and incidents happen to the girls n Bea, winning over the girls attraction, semua rahsia dia ketahui. Ada 2 pilihan - as a lawyer, she binded utk tolong org n tegakkan kebenaran, as a lady n a lover n a wife a stepmother to be, she wants to have James for herself. 

I love d kindness n wisdom in Tessa even dia pun manusia yg ada flaws. Wonder whether I could be her in our very much different situation. Her late father said, "speak it outloud", so all the things yg dia rasa perlu diperkatakan, she spell it to James. On the day Tessa's father pass away, dia suruh James balik kpd Bea n settle all the unsaid things. If  he couldn't done that, their future marriage will follow suits. Fail! 

Walaupun Tessa yakin she done the best, tapi msh ada rasa sedih kalau James akan kembali semua ke pangkuan Bea n put back the family together.  There's a saying : Sometimes, we must love that person enough to let him go. If he ever loves us enough, he'll be back. 

James : I do loves Bea.
Tessa : (somehow feel broken hearted)
James : But I don't love her anymore now. It's you I love...

Ending : Happy. James married Tessa. Tessa n Bea becomes best ever friend. Bea gets back to work n get herself again as advised by Tessa. They take turn on the children...

Reality? Hmm.. I wish I will be blessed with ages n health n times, so that I can write another 'The Stepmother' - my own version. 

My walk to remember... bila ditolak ke suatu persimpangan, of course hanya ada satu pilihan harus dibuat. Of course sesuatu harus dikorbankan. Mungkin better now than never yg saya praktiskan akan memberi 1001 pros n cons. I am sorry if it doesn't favour many people. But again... it has to be done. Now when people started to see what I have seen earlier, I feel so relieved. But why deep in me, I feel the grief...?

Bukit Gambang Water Park

Nafas Didik msh ada bunyi whizzing. Tp he's getting better. Waktu sy sdg ketuk keyboard saat ni, my inlaws br bertolak blk, n Didik msh tidur. Penatnya Didik?

I guess Didik semput mgkn sbb mkn 1/2 btg aiskrim n main air di BGWR last weekend. Compared to Babang, Didik msh alah n krg ketahanan sikit. But I know my baby is strong. Ms conceive dia dulu pun, doc n bidan thought he couldn't make it due to my worst health and the effect of all drugs, medicine n steroid in healing me. They advised me to be mentally and spiritually prepared to accept qadha n qadar Allah. But he persisted to be born, Alhamdulillah he made it, healthily even sgt kecut hu hu... sian Didik Umi... kamu  indeed adalah kemenangan utk Umi & Pa.

Let us finish on this final part of last weekend moment, ya Dik? BGWP dikatakan the 1st n largest water park resort city di East Coast of M'sia. In fact, it won the best large water park in 2011.

We're here on bro Odeng's treatment. He provided us with free voucher utk main air di water park. Thank you so much again broIt's for kids. Babang n Didik excited sgt. They've never been in water park before. Kesian boboboys Ummi ni... nak buat cemana Pa mmg tak suka water park... hmm...

2nd day, after breakfast, kami check out. Sbb we wish to have longer hours di water park. Lots of thing blh main di sini. Tapi Babang n Didik cuma suka di bhgn children fantasy tu je. 

We had fun, naik tube n melalui river tunnel di Penguin Island, masuk bwh terowong yg gelap n berkabus. Pa n Babang got the chances main di Glacier River, gelongsor air yg Pa kata kalau sy ikut mesti muntah. Entah2 Pa saja2 nak takutkan hu hu... Sy tak blh ikut sbb Didik tak lps had ketinggian, must be taller than 110cm kalau nak main di sini.

We played with the waves in Cocoa Beach. Sbnrnya sy takut... sbb imaginasi sy... kalaulah jatuh dr tube, cemana sy nak berenang dgn berat bdn sy cam ni? Pa wajib kena selamatkan my kids dulu.. what an imagination daa...  



Hmm.. just notice Didik sll brd di right hand side Babang...




No external food or bekal is allowed in the park. This nasi kukus cost us RM10, (gulp), belilah juga sebungkus since Babang n Didik dh kelaparan thp melampau. Pa kt utk nasi kukus tu je collection diorang RM80k a day. Serius? Sy nk jual juga la kat sini! 

Tak dpt nk ambil gambar kenangan bebyk di water park. Semua brg simpan dlm locker yg disewa. Pa tak kasi carry handphone n camera around sbb takut kena air... ya, baik...

Tq again bro Odeng.. kalau bro tak belanja, entah bila kami dapat pi Gambang hu hu...

Eye to Eye With The Wild

Sjk semlm Didik semput. Tgh hr td lps fetch Babang di Al-Amin trs blk umah nk htr Didik ke klinik. Heavy chest, kata doc. Mlm td Pa ada business appt. Maka sbb bimbangkan Didik n takut tertidur, terus kemas umah smpi tgh mlm sambil tgk citer Satu Malam Perawan. Kemudian beri Didik nebulizer.

Trn lg gsk bj utk minggu dpn, advancenya.. hu hu... then naik check on Didik lagi. Turun lg mandi. Naik lg solat n Yasin. Beri lg Didik nebulizer sbb nmpk turun naik dadanya agak ssh. Hmm.. nmpk gaya kena cepatkan suntikan Pneumococcal dia. Babang lps inject di Sri Kota mcm tak lah alah sgt skrg, dgn izin Allah. Nnt Didik dh sihat sikit kita pi ambil injection ya Dik.. Sorry, Ummi kena pi kerja hari ni. Ummi stand by cover Sh. Alam n cwgn, sbb majority ketua2 pjbt ada course di Trolak. Didik tak mrh kan...?

Didik.. kita cerita pasal Eye to eye with the wild, nak? Ia tema Safari di Bukit Gambang Resort City. Ia Safari yg cantik n in sha Allah bakal jadi Safari yg besar sy kira...

Entrance ke Safari. Ntah knp sy rs ia menakutkan sy... may be perasaan itu wujud sbb sy sgt penat n hari pun dh lwt ptg. But the inside deco, I guess it deserves the international class.

The trams used to take visitors to-fro resort-Safari.


Utk masa ni, hanya ni aje yg open for visitors.
Sgl harimau, singa, gajah dll masih dlm proses.. hu hu...



Area utk visitor lihat org2 err... org Red Indian.. sbbnya rupa n perangai n bunyi-bunyian mrk mcm Red Indian. But they are the locals. Mlm, mrk buat Red Indian dance n pertunjukan mkn api. Hmm... 

Waktu kami visit ni, Safari msh dlm promotion time. With effect March 01st nnt dah chargeable. Pa kata, "Kalau siap sepenuhnya nanti ni, org dah tak pergi zoo lah jawabnya..." 
Hmm.. the Zoo Negara msh ada keistimewaannya hu hu...

Ia attractive. Pa kata every state should have one like this to maximized hasil negeri dan negara. Why everybody seems talking about penjanaan hasil ni? Hmm...

Caribbean Bay Resort

Bro Odeng dah moved dr TZRH ke Bukit Gambang. Kebetulan few of Papa's clients cum friends bercuti di sana, kebetulan Bro Odeng sponsor bilik, meals n tiket BGWR & kebetulan cuti CNY ni agak panjang, walaupun kebetulan budget tak penuh, redah-redahkan jugalah ke sana. It's Pa's business trip, kami ni menyibuk je.... hu hu.. 

1st time kenal BGWP via Yus's blog. Masa travel pusing separuh Semenanjung dulu, nampak signboard Gambang. Niat tu lama ada. Alhamdulillah... bro Odeng pindah ke sana pula. Rezeki...

We stayed in 01-02-05 Carribean Bay Resort. It's 3 stars apartment. Kalau yg Arabian Bay tu 4 stars. Yg 5 stars under construction hu hu...

Okay, sbb org belanja maka tak boleh complaint lebih. Ia apartment dgn 2 bedroom. Rasa sunyi pula bila duduk dlm bilik tu yg agak besar bg kami berempat. Overall ia affordable & pleasant event utk keluarga besar. Cuma agak kosong in terms of tiny facilities. Oklah tu, what do we expect from 3 stars? Hu hu...

Pintu gerbang masuk ke BGRC. It's raining when we arrived...

N1-02-05 Caribbean Bay Resort - family suites with 2 bedrooms 
Checked in on the Feb 10 n checked out on the 11th.
Bro Odeng sempat tunjuk Grand Ballroom yg saiznya 3 kali bukaan ini.
Said the largest in M'sia? 
 

"Malam ni Didik tido dgn Babang satu bilik, Umi dgn Pa satu bilik tau..." Tapi jam 3 pagi ada seorang budak kecil jln masuk bilik tidur PaMi & menyelit!  Alih2 Pa tido teman Babang, Umi wajib tido dgn Didik... haish... kacau daun betul.. Pa kata... hu hu...
Didik selalu tau kalau Umi tinggalkan dia tido sesorang. Dia mesti akan terbangun n cari Umi juge..
my sweet baby... 


Bro, lepas ni shift ke mana? Nak ikut juge... hu hu...

Bro Odeng kata, there'll be a water park project in Morib n in sha Allah he will be moved there one fine day. 

Okay... look forward, kalau ada rezeki dan usia. Anyway, it's nice meeting bro Odeng again. His wife getting better even still on wheelchair.  It is indeed, tiada penyakit yg tidak dpt diubati. It's the matter of time and patient. Be strong ya bro! N tq-tq-tq for your generousity.

Buah Limau

Alhamdulillah, feels so good to be at home again. Apatah lagi bila rumah kemas je.. hu hu... sbb sblm keluar utk cuti yg panjang sy dah kemas umah seadanya spi jam 3 pagi. Cuba kalau rumah tak berkemas, bila buka pintu dr outing yg panjang, mesti stress... 

Sekejap je hari ni dah last day cuti utk CNY. So many things happen, sweet n sour, hot n spicy, laughter n tear, relax dan penat... semua ada... alhamdulillah juga semuanya ended up with good things. Tuhan mmg mendengar doa...

Sbnrnya tetiba teringin nak makan buah limau. Buah limau CNY. Err.. awatlah kalau ingat limau, ingat sekali dgn CNY pula... hish...

Sat-sat ni mana nak cari buah limau. Dahlah hujan ni, dahlah baju kotor berbakul-bakul nak tunggu mesin basuh ni, dahlah kejap lagi nak masak utk dinner... nak ajak pi cari buah limau, si Papa Nasir la ni asyik dgn hobi baru dia. Confuse saya...

Tak de buah limau, pandang gambar ni pun jadilah... sib baik ada snap gambar limau comel ni kat opis... 


Ni 2 biji limau yg sy mkn di opis minggu lps. Bank bagi. Blh mkn ke ni? Hu hu... Sy tak berkepentingan dgn mrk... dan mrk pun tak berkepentingan utk saya, kira halal tak?

Dedulu ms kerja di GOMAFO (GESB + MJSB + FESB + BCSB), tiap kali CNY je, office penuh dgn kotak buah limau ni. Dr tkt bwh sampai tkt 3, dlm opis pun penuh. Limau2 ni subcons bagi, suppliers bagi... menimbun. Sampai pi opis tak yah pakai perfume. Nanti kami semua berbau limau. Nak jalan pun susah, sampai org2 dah tak boleh nampak saya hu hu... nnt asyik tanya : 'Mana Tie?', 'Mana Rose?', 'Arosh mana?', 'Mana itu Losie?' - ikut kepelatan dan kesukaan mrk memanggil nick name saya hu hu...

Tapi limau2 tu tak boleh mkn selagi belum raya. Pantang kot. Nanti sehari sblm diorang cuti sy, Kak Su n Mdm Karen kena buka kekotak. Check limau n agih2 kekotak tu utk semua staff. Kalau makanpun, bos bkn tahu. Kotak tak kurang, tapi makin bertambah. Nanti kalau tak dimakan, jadi busuk... buang je. Membazir la bos.. lagipun we need space to work. Tak kan nak kerja atas kotak limau kot? Tapi sy good girl. Even tak makan pun, kang pepetang bos kekenyit mata suh saya bawa balik. Untuk Ibu. Hu hu....

Mmg dulu Ibulah yg paling suka mkn buah limau CNY ni. Sekotak dia blh mkn seorg. Sampai hilang suara. Peliknya, kalau buah limau tu dibeli, tak ghairah pula dia mkn hu hu... dah muak kot. Ke yg FOC tu lagi sedap Bu?

Limau ni ada yg manis, tawar n masam. Sy suka yg tak manis sgt tu. Yg tawar pun saya suka. Kalau nak tahu buah limau tu manis ke tak, pilih buah yg berkedut. Kalau yg licin tu biasanya masam... hu hu...

Hmm... best thing dulu bila CNY ni ialah angpow. Bosses, kekawan pejabat yg dah kahwin, subcons n supplier semua bagi angpow, apatah lagi bila saya duduk kat akaun. Tiap kali dtg ambil cek, mereka berilah angpow. Tapi... tak ada diskriminasi hanya krn angpow. Saya kan budak baik, sbb itu saya disygi bos. Cit! Masuk bakul, makan buah limau! Angpow tu kalau kumpul boleh pi holiday. Kayo sekejap. Pun semuanya bagi kat Ibu, sukanya dia. Tapi skrg tak pernah dpt angpow lg. Angpow ni diberi utk mrk yg blm kahwin je. Yg dh kahwin, mrk pula yg kena bg angpow! Itu kata Mary Anne dulu... miss her...

Hu hu... terkenang sms dulu pula tgk buah limau ni. Papa, dah-dah lah main Diabolo tu... kalah bebudak lah awak ni. Jom pi cari buah limau kat Careour nak? Mcm mengidam pula Ummi ni... kan gegurl...?

Andai Ku Bercinta Lagi

Hari yg sgt meletihkan. Problem pun mcm sakit. Dtg mcm kilat, nak suh pergi mcm siput! It's trial from Allah. Dia ingatkan kita, nak uji kita. Walau ia masalah org tapi bila kita yg menjadi harapan dan sandaran, ia juga part of our problem.

I had an emergency to attend to this afternoon. Had to take 1/2 day EL. Dgn perangai Babang yg pelik tak mahu pergi sekolah walaupun dah duduk elok dlm row-call, dgn nak lari ke Bangi attend my adinda. Aduhai, sakit kepala dan sakit dada. Sabar, Papa Nasir kata. In sha Allah, msh blh sabar. Cuma dada sy sakit Pa, setiap kali saya stress. Patutlah byk perkara Papa tak mahu cakap dgn saya, dan byk perkara yg Papa larang my siblings n family to tell me... ia hanya buat jantung saya sakit je...

Adindaku, sdgkan lidah lagi tergigit... kalau nak putus pun, hope ia jadi ekor cicak yg blh bersambung semula. This is your life, I have no right to interfere so I just leave it to you to decide. Apapun, tanya dan mintalah pd Dia dlm penyerahan. I would never take sides, just will be there whenever you need me.

Oh ya, bila melawat Tuan Abil di WBI ptg semalam, senyum saya bila baca a comment of a visitor tu. Dia tujukan lagu Andai Ku Bercinta Lagi (MOJO) utk Tuan Abil n Pn Gee. Indeed, sy mmg suka sgt lagu ciptaan KRU ni. Hu hu... kalau KRU sendiri yg nyanyi, camana agaknya bunyinye ye?

Sbnrnya nak simpan lagu ni utk ADI. Nnti bila ADI dah bergerak, when I share about it's progress baru nak upload video AKBL ni ke dlm FRAN. Alahai KTVH, cepatlah habis edit!!! Ponek dah den ni...

Tapi rindu nk dgr pula dah... Tuan Abil, lagu tu bunyinya macam ni... but please remember, it is just a song. Be strong and keep believing!

"Andai ku bercinta lagi suatu hari nanti,
Tunjukkan di mana ruang hati untuknya
yang masih belum kau huni,
Apabila tiba waktu bersemuka,
Ku harus pejamkan mata
Dan memaksa lafaz cinta
Dengan bayangmu di minda..."



Hmm... we can read, we can feel, we can view, we can listen,
we can share, and we can always try to understand
tapi ia mungkin tidak sama dgn perasaan yg merasa
dan bahu yg memikul.
Orang putih kata,
"If you don't walk my journey, 
please don't judge my path".

Doa saya... semoga Allah berikan yg baik-baik utk kita semua.... Aaamiin...
Papa, terima kasih krn sehingga saat ini msh menjadi tiang seri Ummi yg belum pernah ampuh.

Mode : Penat sgt2, tapi tak boleh tidur lagi..
nak kena packing  n kemas rumah....
Bonda Atiqah... terima kasih...

Burung

Bila kita resah gelisah, susah hati, cemas... mengaji al-Quran akan buat kita tenang. Lepas ngaji jumpa pula FRAN, boleh write them down. Lega sikit kot... Cerita kat Papa Nasir? He already knew it. Lagipun he's busy with his futsal games. Hu hu.. let him be lah, asal dia happy dan bahagia. Lagipun dia dah rasuah saya dgn buku-buku bulan ni he he...

Sbnrnya dah 2 hari saya tahan resah. Rasa sgt berat dlm hati fikirkan perkara ini yg dah 2x jadi. Yet I havent learn a lesson. Err... bukanlah masalah sebesar menghadapi PRU. It's just... err... pendrive saya kena virus. Wa wa wa... it's a big problem to me... now saya tak ada backup utk complete KTVH except versi cetak utk edit dan softcopy dlm folder email yg cuma 1/2 siap tu je...

Few friends tried to help, yet masih belum boleh recover. Satu je hrpn sy skrg.. tunggu kawan Papa cum sepupu bau bacang sy blk driSepang, bro Shah Arizal utk bantu. He's positive n sy hrp he w manage to recover all the files back. At least my writing folders, or at least the KTVH file pun cukuplah... 

Ptg td Papa Nasir htr satu lawak ke WhatsApp saya. Hmm... apa punya lawak daa... tak suka lawak tu. Tp td baca lawak ni yg Papa htr mlmnya, sy gelak sgh. Hilang sekejap masalah pendrive. Papa tanya, "Awak faham ke Yang?"

Alaa... saya dah tak se'naive' dulu la... hu hu...

**********************
Hobi ketua kampung adalah memelihara burung. Pada suatu hari kesemua burungnya hilang. Oleh krn ketua kampung tersgt mrh kehilangan burung2nya, maka dia kumpulkan hampir 200 org penduduk kampung di balai raya.

KK : Siapa ada burung?
Semua lelaki yg hadir terus berdiri. Ups, ketua kampung tersedar cara pertanyaannya itu salah.

KK : Bukan burung itu maksud saya. Siapa pernah nampak burung?
Semua wanita berdiri. Ketua kampung jadi semakin marah.

KK : Maksud saya, siapa pernah nampak burung yg bukan miliknya?
Setengah drpd penduduk wanita berdiri. Ketua kampung jadi gugup.

KK : Maaf sekali lagi. Maksud saya ialah, 
siapa pernah nampak burung saya?
5 orang wanita berdiri. Ketua kampung lari lintang-pukang krn dikejar isterinya.
*********************************

To think over 
(err.. tak berkaitan sgt dgn cerita burung di atas 
but still about tongue and our words hu hu...)
"Keep your words soft and sweet
 just in case you have to eat them."

Ya Allah, peliharalah lidahku agar ia menyebut yg baik-baik sahaja...

Confession

Mata sgt berat mcm ada batu besar atasnya. Edit KTVH sekejap tapi brain slow function. Lepas mengaji igt nk tidur dah ni. Tapi budak2 ni aduhai masih ligat. Kesian pula nak suruh tidur. While tgu mereka letih, jumpa FRAN le jawabnya... hu hu...

Tgk Didik yg asyik terjerit-jerit main lawan-lawan dgn abangnya ni, terus rasa nak share about this juga. Actually dah tulisnya few days ago... so, ada 2 sharing mlm ni, rajinnya saya...

Few days ago, sms saya sdg ambil wudhu'.... Awat air paip ni perlahan sgt padahal dah putar kepala paip sampai nak tercabut. Sejak pagi mcm tu. Signal tak de air ke ni?

Saya dok belek muncung paip. Aik, awat ada benda kecik warna biru ni? Cuba korek dan tarik. Susah sungguh. Ada benda stuck in it rupanya.

Sekali dah tarik, erk! Rupa-rupanya si tiny blue toothbrush! Hmm... dah tahulah ni sapa punya angkara!

U : Didik!
D : (Sdg kunyah epal n watch cartoon, pandang muka Ummi tanpa perasaan)
U : Nape adik sumbat berus gigi adik dlm kepala paip?
D : (Tetap pandang muka Ummi tapi kali ni senyum simpul.)
U : Hish, adik ni, berus gigi utk berus gigi adik. Bukan sumbat kat situ!
D : (tersengih-sengih kunyah epal kegemarannya)

Babang dtg menghampiri. Dia pandang muka Didik dan muka serius Ummi berganti-ganti. Panik je muka Babang. Dia fikir Didiknya sedang kena marah.

B : Nape Ummi? Adik buat apa?
U : Adik ni ha, mana dia belajar sumbat berus gigi dlm kpl paip.
B : (Gulp) Err.. sbnrnya kan Ummi, smlm saya pun buat begitu.
U : Erk!? La, patutlah! Abang yg ajar rupanya ya!?
B : Bukan, sebab Adik tak sampai nak letak berus gigi kat atas tu...
B : Dia pun fikir-fikirlah, lepas tu dia simpan je lah kat dalam paip tu...
U : Adoila.....

“Open confession is good for the soul” 

Vico

Hari ni Babang absent sekolah kebangsaan. For the 1st time sejak masuk sekolah dia menangis hari ini. Waktu row-call dia asyik perhati saya buat isyarat supaya saya tak beredar. Bila saya bangun nak pergi, dia keluar dari barisan dan menangis dptkan saya.

Katanya bibir sakit. Dah beberapa hari dia dapat ulser. Mlm tadi pun dia muntah-muntah sampai 3 kali. Habis kena tukar cadar, baju dia dan baju saya sekali. So, dia tak mahu pergi sekolah. Alahai... lepas maklumkan Papa dan cikgu, saya bawa dia ke pejabat je lah jadinya. Beli dan sapukan ubat ulser di bibirnya lalu sepetang dia tidur di bilik saya.

530pm kejutkan dia untuk pulang, tengok2 seluruh muka, leher dan lengannya bengkak2. Aduhai kenapa pula.... straight away bawa ke klinik, doktor kata galigata atau alergi. Hmm... dpt MC 2 hari budak ni.

Tak pe lah. Teringat ttg program minum Milo dan Vico Babang di sekolah. Gambar ni program pertama Babang minum Vico di sekolah. Sebelum ni dia dah minum Milo percuma di sekolah. Tak sempat nak abadikan moment tu...

Aduhai... seperti ternampak-nampak waktu saya berbaris dgn kawan2 nak ambil secawan kertas minuman Milo percuma di Sek Keb Beranang bertahun yg dulu.... alangkah cepatnya masa itu berlalu. Kini saya ada anak sudah... dia pula yg berbaris nak minum Milo dan Vico percuma di sekolah. Dulu kat sekolah saya cuma ada program minum Milo percuma je. Vico tak de...

Build My World Of Dream

Buka lagi diari sbb weekend begini d best moment bersama FRAN. Kids home safely. Lately byk berita ttg kehilangan kanak2, mati dan sbginya. Aduhai, sb tu tak suka baca paper. Sbb tu juga saya adalah manusia paling riuh dan havoc kalau dgn anak2. Go anywhere, kids must be within my sight.

Dah lunch, kids settle down dpn TV. Kartun as usual. Few hours more before Papa Nasir come back from his weekend MBA class. Got time for my own. Nak membelek KTVH sekejap.

KTVH adalah mss ke-4 yg dah saya selesaikan. Sama mcm MDH, KTVH juga mss yg saya selesaikan dlm jangkamasa tak sampai 1/2 tahun. Hmm... bila ilham dianugerahkan dan kelapangan diberikan, Alhamdulillah. 

Skrg KTVH dlm my reading n semifinal editing. Dah few weeks tapi proses ni sgt lembab saya sudahkan. Padahal dlm otak ni story ADI flow mcm nak tumpah.menunggu turn. 

Hmm... tak pe lah. Sudah cepatpun bukan boleh cetak hari ni (quote a sr writer said hu hu...). Mgkn ini fasa saya mengeramkan beberapa mss. Biarlah mrk que tunggu rezeki dan gilirannya. Fasa pujuk dan motivate diri sendiri he heh...


Okay, nak move on with KTVH editing sambil ditemani this song yang lately gets back into memory. I was so obsessed with this I'll Be There when I was young. Am I not young anymore now? Erk! Ntah apa-apa kan... 


RAN, chayok! Keep building your dreams!

Baik!

Ikut Selera Dia

Dah selesai masak nasi ayam dan dah suap Didik lunch. Rehat sekejap, sat lagi nak fetch kids berdua dari tuition. Unlike last weekend, pagi tadi sarapan homemade roti telur dan coco crunch je.

Babang suka mkn lempeng sejak saya buat pertama kalinya dulu tu (yg sebenarnya dia mmg sll mkn lempeng Nenek Imah dia buat...). Cuti Isnin yg lps (ganti Thaipusam), Babang tulis order utk sarapan. Lempeng n cendawan goreng. Kebetulan mmg ada bawa balik cendawan seplastik dari kenduri Sg Samak.

Kali ni saya buat lempeng lain. Tak mcm LVR yg 1st time tu. Kali ni bancuh tepung gandum dgn air suam, letak secubit garam, letak sikit susu pekat manis dan taburkan sedikit cheese mozarella. Dan kali ni juga saya masak lempeng cheese ni atas pemanggang ajaib hu hu... 




Babang berselera mkn lempeng berintikan cendawan goreng. 
Hmm... ikut selera dia... asalkan dia mahu makan.
Tapi Didik vice versa, sgt tak suka lempeng... hmm...

Karnival Buku Karangkraf 2013

Saya baca sekali lalu ttgnya di blog Hezzy Azzra. Tapi tuntutan kesibukan harian selalu menyimpangkan ingatan. Tetiba smlm balik dari pejabat about  7pm plus, Papa Nasir tanya : "Nak pi pesta buku karangkraf tak?"

Alahai, suami saya yg sgt sweet... saya je yg tak pernah offer dia : Pa, tak nak pi memancing ke? hu hu...

Pesta buku Karangkraf ni dr smlm sampai esok. Kalau pergi siang, rasanya tak lalu. Mesti sesak gegila.. Ramai yg hantu buku hu hu... jalan pun mesti jammed dan nak parking pun mesti sgt jauh. Nasib baik pi malam.

Papa kata tak mahu withdraw duit. Guna je lah berapa je balance yg ada dlm beg duit. Hu hu.. paham... langkah berjimat cermat sampai hujung bulan. Tak pe, saya nak pi jejalan tetengok je... bukan nak beli pun. 

Hmm... mereka juga yg ambil bakul...
Papa! Cak! Timer kacih daun bunga ros ya!
Oh ya, beli buku ye juga.
Tanggungjawab kepada 'agama bangsa dan negara'  pun ya juga.
PRU is just around the corner... kami dah buat semakan di Karnival.
Igt nak tukar tempat mengundi sbb  last time rush nye lah lari balik Sri Kundang
dan shoot ke Sabak Bernam nak buang undi.
Tapi proses tukar tempat undi sama macam daftar pengundi,
takes about 3 mths.
Ini je yg mampu dibeli apart of buku2 akademik AB dan majalah2 Papa Nasir.
Discount 30% dan ada yg dijual senaskhah RM10 dan ada juga promosi harga pakej.
Kalau ada duit yang terpijak-pijak mmg nak beli semua, tapi... disbbkan duit tu nak kena lompat-lompat baru boleh capai, maka belilah berdikit-dikit... yg lain, lain hari pula...
