EPPY BEZDAY

Sayang...

Maafkan aku
kerana nampak angin-angin kasar
berpusar melilit rumpun-rumpun bunga
di sekelilingmu

Maafkan aku
kerana melarangmu menyedut haruman bunga itu
lalu mengguris kelukaan mu.

Sayang...

Seringkali ketika angin berlagu lesu
di wajahmu, seolah membelai
namun apa yang aku nampak
hanyalah debu-debu liar
cuba hinggap mengotorkan gebu pipi mu

Salahkah aku
menepis debu-debu liar itu
meski dalam cahaya
kelihatan ia seperti permata

Salahkah aku
sering merasa gusar
bila antara mereka
aku lihat wajahmu
kerana aku,
pernah berdiri antara mereka
sering meloloskan diri dari peristiwa dulu
ilhamnya lahir dari jiwa yang hambar
dan pudar dari pegangan....

This was the most romantic kind of thing that hubby did when we were courting during the uni days...

Kisah kitaorang bermula dengan satu persahabatan yang ikhlas dan akhirnya tanpa di sangka-sangka bertukar menjadi satu perhubungan yang termeterai dgn satu ikatan perkahwinan . Syukur alhamdulillah. Kalau nak cite, rasenye bole buat satu novel kut, tapi, yang tu kena buat n3 lain.

tak nak membebel lama sangat la, just wanna wish myself :-

............................ HAPPY BEZDAY ..........................................................

(aiyooo, suddenly feel so jiwang karatz lorrr..)

Parents-In-Law Is Coming To Town

malam ni tak boleh nak tido, jadi ambik kesempatan menjengah blog yang biasa jengah. sedar tak sedar dah kol 2.00 pagi. Tak pela, esok kan ari ahad, tak kejo, so bole la rileks sikit... ooopss, tak leh rilekss gak esok..

Sebabnya....

Esok nak kena balik Puncak Alam, sebab nak kena bersihkan rumah. Kesian rumah tu, dah dekat sebulan tak balik jenguk. Selalunya, every weekend mesti balik. Jadi tak dela berabuk sangat. Balik kali ni confirm berabuk giler punya.

Sebenormya, parents in law nak datang next week - ari Jumaat. Bukan lawatan rombongan cik kiah ke komanwel, but, ayah ada appointment kat IJN untuk buat angiogram pada 3/4 ni. So, hubby dah suggest supaya boss n mem (ni panggilan sesama hubby n kite aje) lepak kat Puncak Alam dulu, pas tu Ahad kitaorang gi hantar kat Kajang (rumah kakak hubby).

Dan seperti biasa, kalau mertuaku atau kakak iparku n family datang, maka, rumah tu terpaksala di spring clean kan, yela, takkan nak bagi diaorang tido kat bilik yang penuh ngan abuk, so, esok akan bermulala sesi cuci mencuci, mop mengemop etc...

List of chores to be done :-

1. Setiap bilik kena sapu dan mop (4 bijik lak tu... semput kite cam ni , selalunye, kite sapu, hubby yg akan mop, jadi ringan sikitla)

2. Setiap bilik air kena berus (3 bijik - mujur ade Jif - senang sikit kerjo, tak yah sental kuat-kuat -hubby dah setuju untuk sanggup buat bilik air atas... yeeehaaa... muahss)

3. Living room kena sapu & mop . (ni tempat yg paling berabuk sekali. mujur kat rumah tak de karpet yg tebal, kalu dak, jenguh gak nak ngangkat pas tu sidai kat luar. kat rumah cuma ade tikar sarawak n carpet yg amat nipiiiss sekali, so, senang aje nak ngangkatnye.)

4. Dapur - since dapur kecik, so yg ni sat aje.

5. Laman depan & belakang - waduh.. garenti dah penuh ngan semak samun, harap-harap adela orang mesin rumput esok, bole la tumpang sekaki (upah dalam rm5.00)

6. Basuh fridge - Nak dijadikan cite, masa last balik ari tu, hubby teroff suis fridge . minggu lepas hubby balik sat ambik barang and guess what - tak yah ceritela, paham2 sendirila. Mujur gak tak banyak barang dalam tu. So, esok operasi membasuh fridge gak...

7. Basuh segala cadar-cadar & sarung bantal yg dah pakai - mungkin sehelai dua aje kot. Satu trip aje kot.

8. Masak - No way hoze... mana sempat , ta pau kat fasa 2 ajela nampaknye...

Fooh, panjang gak benda yang nak kena buat ni... tak pe cekalkan hati kuatkan semangat, malaysia boleh !!!!!

Insya allah...

Cuma satu aje yang dok risau - janganla ade yang menyinggah... nampak gaye kena pasang sign NO Entry... He he he...

Dan, selepas abis semua kerja ni, malam balik semula ke Subang Jaya (ni rumah parents, penghuninya cuma 2 adik lelaki yg tak kawin lagi (walau pun umur tu dah boleh dikategorikan sebagai layak kawin, tak de jodoh lagi kot.) & of course me sekeluarga. Ni kena buat n3 lain pasal ni.

Enjoy ur weekend :) ... But not for me :o ... there's lot to be done... kay, till we blog again... chow...

Hypermarket Craze Mailers


For those who have drop by here, just wanna inform that i've permanently change mocha to tee.. coz, me myself also got confused. sat guna tee, sat guna mocha. so, back to the ole tee. maklumla, i'm a novice in this bloggers' world.

Niway, just wanna share my kids latest craze-- hypermarket mailers.. yup, you hear it right.. those papers with lots of stuff been crushed (the price la..) . You see, almost every week, the post box received mailers, be it the hypermarket, the plumber service, the kindergarten promotion, the developers (usually its a invitation to their soft launch house), etc etc etc and usually all the mailers will end up in the dust bin (not before si abang get hold of it and will frantically browsing and flipping from the first page till the end)

Since, now, the hypermarkets are fighting to woo the customer to shop at their place (untung consumer cam ni- but, ade certain barang kat sini murah kat sana mahal and vice versa, so kena gak tengok2 and compare), you just can imagine how many that we got. With Giants, Tesco, Carre Four, Makro (i'm a card holder) all located at a close proximity where i lived, so abang and kakak will lift up their sleeves and dok berebut mailer and (ni part yang lomah ni),

si Abangnya,

"Mama, tengok ni susu abang dapat percuma t-shirt . Mama beli la." (si abang ni memang pantang jumpa produk yang ada free gift , siap bole suruh beli, w/pun tak de kegunaannya)

"Mama, nak lassi (the kind of yougurt drink), yang warna merah ni."


Kakak lak,

"Mama, aisya, aisya, aisya ( si kakak ni baru 3 tahun, so, her thoughts are slower than her mouth, tu yang kekadang tu dok ulang nama dia sebelum cakap ayat penuh) nak CD Barney, or Princess or whatever cartoons that cross over her mind. Mama, belila kat aisya satu. (masa ni suara memang lembut giler , kononnya nak suruh kita kesian tu, erm... kecik kecik dah pandai saiko ni ,

(hem, teringat la pulak diri sendiri masa muda2 dulu, saiko gak kot, coz, apa yang nak kalau bersangkutan ngan pelajaran, semuanye dapat. caya tak caya, mintak radio pun dapat. alasannya, tak bole study kalau tak de muzik. he he he... ;))


and, the question goes on and on... and make no mistake by not responding to their question or you will have them repeating it again and again and also the volume will eventually touch the highest note... masa ni rasenye nak ambik semua mailer tu pas tu buang kat tong sampah.

and my hubby would luv to interupt by saying :

" Ha, tu nurun awak la tu..."

Meaning to say, me myself also luv to look at the mailers .. ha ha ha.. terkena jap batang hidung sendiri, dan seperti pepatah orang lama cakap - ke mana tumpahnye kuah kalau tak kat nasi gitew... :))

MY BABY HANNA

Finally, Baby Hanna has recovered from her fever (for the second time in this month) and also her coughing (no more of that wheezing sound) and not forgetting her vomitting (because of the med - tak sedap kot! but, it's good also becoz all her kahak semuanye keluar) , that is after 5th trip to our paed and for the last visit our dear doc has no choice but to give the strongest antibiotic that he has - Zintac, i think. For a few days under the Zintac spell, the fever last for 3 days.. alhamdulillah , it's under control with lots of sponging and an air-cond room. But, sick as she is, she still remain an active baby (she turn 1 yr on 10/3) aahh... like the old folks use to say,

" oh, demam sebab nak beralih tahun/bulan @ nak tumbuh gigi @ nak berjalan, bla bla bla"

"atau pun kalau demam tu berlarutan, == demam urat tu, cuba urut perut, badan, etc.. (ni pesanan mak mertuaku"

"cuba jangan mandi, lap aje badan tu @ jangan basahkan kepala === ni ma tersayang yang selalu cakap"

Anyway, just call the Taska, and Baby Hanna is soundly sleeping after her medication (the nanny there must be happy because she always love to disturb other babies, such as poke their face or pull the legs, bla bla bla...). You see, there are 5 babies (plus Hanna) and all were born in 2005 and being the oldest of them all, she has the advantage of being the Head of Babies (he he he) and thus make her at all time very the mischievous one, ... pening lalat, gitu...

Well, for now, she still hold the record among her siblings of not yet being admitted to hospital (minus when she pop out from my womb to see the world). Abang and Kakak has already have their share because of bronchitis (both got to taste staying at DEMC - in a very good hands - the nurses and paeds are very, very good).

Yang tak tahannya when neb and ubat time (very de efficient wooo...) , tido pun tak pernah cukup. Imagine having to cope with your kids wailing at 3 a.m because of neb. Hem, I think that's the reason why my hubby don't fancy the kids been admitted to hospital, he he he.. Manataknya, dengan muka serabai, terpaksala buat cun depan adik-adik nurse itew.. That is why, if bole elakkan, elak jangan tak elak.

So, to Baby Hanna >>> mama, abah, Abang Hakim, Kakak Aisya luv u soooo much ... (kakak ni, kuat mengusik adiknye, tapi, jangala sesapa yang berani nak acah-acah bawak balik Baby Hanna, siap bole meraung satu dunia bole dengar...)

ABAH AND MA

Yesterday evening sent off my parents to KL Sentral. They're going back to Kelantan via train after 2 weeks stay or should I said vacation (for my mom) here in Subang. (i'll write another n3 'bout my life in Subang). Argghh...sedihnyer, thought of persuading my abah to stay a little bit longer, but, u knowla, the very same answer,

"kebun abah tu tok leh tinggal lamo2... " (as if the kebun will ran away...hehehe)

Actually they are here coz my bro has just got a new baby girl. By the way, my bro name her Rania (yeah, just like the Queen of Jordan) much to the objection from my SIL. The word Rania comes from a sanskrit language , as in Queen.

After retiring from government servant, my dad decided to become so called petani moden just to pass his time, but the ironic part is, he doesn't have any agricultural background...( semangat tu wehhh.) . So, my parents decided to spend the rest of their life in Kuala Krai, where, here, my abah start to make his dream a reality. His so called kebun had already borne the hasil, and we got to taste the first crop of durian 2 years back... memang sedap. but, alas, the second season, only a few durians yang menjadi, the rest either dah jadi rezeki monyet, tupai or kelawar. so hopefully this year the hasil are fruitful.

Usually my mom will freeze the durian inside a container and it can last for months.. It taste like ice-cream.. yummy, yummy, yummy. U guys should try, but, an important message here, freeze only the quality ones, kay.. if not tak berapa sedap.. as for my abah's kebun, there's quite a range of qualities durian , e.g tembaga, kunyit, DXX (yg ok ok aje).

All my siblings have already went to abah's kebun except for me. I dread thinking of all those squirmy thing called 'pacat'... geli tu... anyway, i think that the next trip , rase macam nak gi aje.. becoz from the pics taken my bro the scenery was so beautiful and serene. The kebun is surrounded by hills and mountains 'dara' (ala la macam kat Taman Negara dlm n3 Mak Andeh) and the fresh air , fuyoo mesti best nye.. my abah after 3 years of doing his kebun, his eyesight is getting better, and, guess what, nowdays, he read the paper or his kitab without having to use his specs..so, there you have it, it's proven that greens can improve your eyesight.. well, tunggu apa lagi, u guys with specs out there, keep looking at those trees including me. hehehhe..

ah yes, now that's my mom dah balik, ayoyo.. back doing my routine jobs, apalagi kalau tak basuh kain, lipat kain (bab ni la yang paling malas sekali ni), cooking (tapi kalau malas sangat 'tapau' je la kat kedai kak nab) and kemas rumah ..ahaks... and my hubby, gone are days of 'tak sidai baju'.. thanks for helping me with the chores..

niway, to my abah and ma, thank u for everything... (altho i'm already married with 3 kids, but, i guess to my ma's eyes, i'm still her little girl ... ) sigh... guess all parents are like that...

MY KIDS PAED DOC

Firstly, thank u to all yang drop by and please feel free to comment...

Hari ni bawak baby hana pergi klinik for her neb repeat. it's been 3 days that i took her daily for the neb. bukannya tak leh admit kat spital coz company ada insurance, it's just that hubby tak suka the work 'admitted'. leceh katanya, kena ambik cuti etc..

In my opinion, senang lagi masuk spital coz there, ade docs and nurses yang monitor 24 hours, and also i don't have to take time-off from the office every 4 hours. I consider myself lucky to have a boss that is ok. Just get your work done on time (bukan bodek) and always be prepared to answer anything that are related to your work, then, there u have it ---- a happy and satisfied boss.

Anyway, the doc has been our family paed doc for 4 years (i think) and let me tell u that he is among the best paed doc in Shah Alam. Maybe for some people they felt rimas if the doc takes a little bit longer than any other docs during the consultation, but as for myself, lagila suka coz, the personal touch is there and the info that he provides made me almost an expert already when it comes to medical terms. hohoho..

And also, his so called 'bilik rawatan' macam ruang tamu kat rumah. Complete with sofa set (where the patient sits) , aquarium, coffee table (penuh ngan interaktif toys, mostly sesame street and blocks) , carpet. (nasib baik tak de coffee maker, kalau tak lagi lama la dalam bilik tu agaknya..) , and furthermore his clinic ade small playland area, a reading section and also room for breastfeeding. When I asked the doc, konsep apa yang diguna pakai ni, he just simply said that memang his dream nak buat a friendly atmosphere concept whereby the patients don't feel that they are in a clinic.. well, it's true what he said coz my kids, bila cakap aje kat diaorang nak gi klinik bawak baby hana, cepat aje diaorang kata nak ikut pergi doktor yang ada toys tu..

Today, his nurse aide dok cerita that before 9 am, there are almost 10 patients waiting outside (macam bank lak pulak). But, then again, it's worth the waiting (gamaknya kalau doktor biasa la tu, dah lama gi cari klinik lain kot.. ), as for me, i usually call first, tanya the best time to come, if not, alamatnye berjam la tunggu. tapi tadi masa sampai, walaupun cuma tinggal 3 patient, tapi dekat sejam jugak baru setel semuanya.

So, i guess this n3 is sort of a tribute to our paed doc - Dr Amdan Ahmad. Well done.

EXHAUSTED

Waaa.... a history is created today... me, mocha, the newcomer to the bloggers' world... (applause). aloha to myself. after months of bloghopping to other peoples blog, hem, i decided to create my own blog, where here i can openly express my true, unsensored thoughts, feelings, etc..

today, i feel so exhausted... at the workplace, no mood of working (nasib baik boss tak de).. to juggle with the role of wife, mother ( a prince and 2 princess, daughter, sister, worker (makan gaji), penat wooo.. and i think the tempias of the yesterday chaotic schedule really left me feeling drained and exhausted.

don't get me wrong, i luv my family and my job, it's just yesterday was one of those days that u just wish that u are holidaying somewhere or treat yourself at exotic spa, away from your routine role.. (bila la masanya akan tiba???) sigh... well, i think it's time to ajak hubby for a holiday trip, it's been quite a while since the last one. i need a break.. help me !!!!

eh, what to write lagi huh? just wanna say thanx to my second boss (his the one yang dok encourage suruh bukak blog sendiri - he himself ada own blog), rakan@ bloggers yang selalu saya tinggalkan jejak - KLady, KSya, QOTH, Kak Teh, Nad etc..

so, here goes ta daaa --- my maiden appearance. Till now, chow...
