Genting


Trip to Genting went well. But it was tiring... I was tired from walking around, waiting in line... and the same time the two girls were even tired and we have to dokong them around... additional beban pulak...

But I think the one-day trip to the peak was satisfying. We didn't get to play all the games but at least we had fun. We stayed at the Genting View Resort, which is near sri malaysia. We went up to the peak on friday on cable car and the two were so excited with the new experience. I asked maisara if she wants to go to school on cable car... she said NO..... hihihihi....

One game that they were so interested in was the children selero shot (cowboy style). Maisara took the ride twice. Uzma, hihihih.... she took the ride but did not show any reaction, not smiling, screaming nor laughing.... the other kids show at least some reaction on the sudden ups and downs... but uzma.... hihihihi.... It was funny....

Start from saturday and sunday, we just stayed at the hotel, they swam in the pool and played with the bunnies....

Concert TASAS


Last month was maisara's school concert. Initially, I can't make it to her concert because I have a course to handle. Tapi last minutes, I passed the task to a friend. So, lucky me, I made it to her concert.


The concert was held in the Media House Melaka. Entrance was free but we still need to pay some fee for the preparation RM 40 per child. I saw the deco in the hall, the costumes, the DJ and the sounds, so basically I know where the money went to.... The school has made good effort to make the concert a success.... You know how difficult it is to take care of the little ones....


When we arrived at the media house, we saw sara lining up outside the hall, all pretty and sweet in her choir dress. Since she is 3, she is in a choir.... dancing and solo singing basically is for the 5 - 6 years....

The concert went well, the hall was packed with parents. Luckily I didn't bring uzma along otherwise I will have to chase her all around. I never went to any concert like this before so, it was quite entertaining. But I didn't stay until finish since maisara is quite tired by the time she was done with her choir. She sang "I have a dream by westlife". I saw her miming on stage but when I asked her to sing again in the car, she only remember the chorus. I think she can sings when the music is on.

Next year Uzma will be joing sara in school and I look forward for their concert next year.

Kalut

This month we have to many activities in hand. At work, at home, my parents, my in laws.....

This month alone, I have 2 workshops to attend... one for Strategic Planning starting 14 - 16 Disember and another meeting concerning MPK/FM (a task that will never ends) starting 26 - 28 Disember... Plus all the meetings along the way... Biasa la... towards the end of the year every one wants to meet, discuss... bla... bla... bla...

Since the 2nd workshop will be held in Genting, so my husband & I take the opportunity to go on a holiday a few days before the workshop starts in Genting... maybe starting 24th...

My inlaws family are cuurently arranging a wedding reception for my hubby youngest sister... the reception is on the 14th (so, I can't make it. By that time i'll be in Taiping for the 1st workshop). Sooo... sorryyyy... Out of my control...

My family also have an activity, which I think I'm going to regret missing it... My brother just came back from oversea (work, which I have no idea what it is) and he just moved into his new home in Shah Alam. They have been cramped in a condo for months now and at last get to enjoy their ckmfortable live in new and renovated and furnished house.... I yet to see it.... last time I went there the house is still empty...

But the most regretable is I'm going to miss the family gathering... Not very often for a sibling of five... Like my hubby, he has 10 other siblings, so if only half get to gather around is stil a havoc... unlike my family, half means 2 or 3... the little ones are making most of the havocs...

But at least we have this weekend for raya haji... tu pun kena bahagi tau... not fair la hubby... last raya puasa we went back to muar even before raya tau... we stayed there untill I don't know raya ke berapa... but ok la consideration is given because yuo are so bz with your sister wedding reception... huhuhuhu.... kena tuntut ganti rugi ni...

Office Baru

I just moved into my new office (Kampus Durian Tunggal) last week. My room is very ok.... spacious (for me) and close to my house. But not to clerical staff where they are cramped in the hall... What can I say... Pros and Cons... biasa la... nothing is perfect... As long as ada space to work ok la...

Cuma, kat sini quite difficult to eat... means that it is quite difficult to find the nearest place where you can buy your breakfast and need to be carefull when it come to eating in the office because lalat will start to come...

Takpe la... biasa la tu... I'll get used to it... Starting today, I bought breakfast on the way coming here. Maybe after jija moved in here, nak beli bfast thru jija la kot... hihihi boleh ke ja.... karipap sardin singgit... hihihi....

Our cafe is not actively in business... bila nak busines ikut sukati dia... plus lalat lagi... nak makan pun takut. The nearest place is AKCR, which I think is still quite far plus when I want to return to the office I need to make a u-turn kat McD sebab not very confident to take right turn kat AKCR tu... Cars/Lorry on that road is so fast even though the speed limit is 80km/h

Hihihi... my babling for today is still concerning food and eating... so hungry la... I can't find my camera charger... so, kalu jumpa nanti I'll show you my office, the building I'm in and the surrounding....

Uzma Tantrum


Last week Uzma has been very difficult... even now and every day...

Last week Teusday after work, she asked me to write her name on the white board, which I did... and she get very angry and repeatedly asking me to write her name... I don't understand what name other than uzma or adik... she get very upset until she fell asleep....

The next morning, I woke up as usual to take a bath, she woke up too... following me around... I told her mama need to take a bath.. mama nak kerja... mama buatkan adik susu ok... ok.... but still she wanted to go into the bathroom with me...

Untill I came out of the bathroom she was crying by the door... ok la... jom, we went into the next room while I get ready and packed their bags... ok je... play as usual... Until I asked them to get into the car as we are moving, she actually start her tantrum again... tanak gi syekoyah...

Hubby said, she knows I'm pregnant... but what can I do... Kakak is so manja... like always. No mother/father need to ask the kids if they want an additional member... Anyway, they are still so small...


Last night I suggest to maisara, if I can call her kak long and uzma kak ngah, they just smile and nod their head... so, start yesterday I've been calling them just that... sometimes tersasul gak... but we'll get used to it.

Down and Under

Today I just browse through my friends and family blogs, you all are so up to this blogging things. I couldn't keep up with it. Always on the run... sometimes even my in laws family recite the very same reason if I couldn't show up in their kenduri.... "ada kursus"... I get fed up...

I don't know how alang and ateh keep up with all the travellings.. maybe because of gender differences. Or maybe because of my mood swings. The good news is I'm 1 and half months pregnant... but the bad news is I'm not in the mood to work anymore... plus I'm not feeling well (flu) and my two kids are infected as well.

Luckily, hubby has been very helpful. Thank God... We just came back to our house (after weeks) the house is filthy, smelly etc... Yucks.... All due to black out which I don't know when it happen but cause all the food in the ice box to rot... I can't make myself to clean it up... I can't ask my hubby to do it all... I didn't even cook yesterday... I just bought fried rice from some food stall yesterday for my family... I went to bed as early as 8.30 just like my kids... and at 12.30 am, my hubby came back from his "mengeteh" with friends with burgers... and I woke up just to eat...

Waaa.... so productive yea.... Hopefully all this will end as soon as possible...

Dah Puas Raya

Allloooo.....

Ramai gak yang rindu ngan i... hihihi... takde la... jokes....

Anyway, takde la bz sangat... kerja as usual la... For the past one month (selama yang tak update blog) tak de apa pun yang buat. Ambik gambar tu banyak la tapi bila badi malas tu sampai memang apa pun tak jadik... Tapi takpe la...

Cuma the latest update about me is... I will be reassign to perjawatan berkuatkuasa mulai tarikh we move our butt to Durian Tunggal main campus... Why... maybe because i sucks... hihihi... takde la... or maybe i take my own sweet time to learn things... maybe gak... but my boss said major task for the next 2 years is recruitment... ye la tu...

The thing is, a colleage of mine is in perjawatan akademik already. All these as if implying my friend tu is not good enough in what she is doing... this morning from her own mouth, she said "nampak macam akak ni tak kompeten pulak kan..." eh... how do you respond to that... alamak... memang la I have experience in recruitment and my boss pun nak buat recruitment internationally, contract non malaysian lecturers, and headhunting malaysian students worlwide to become academicians. Tapi when it is put in such a way... it become such discomfort... Rasanya semua orang pun boleh buat recruitment ni...

I enjoy working in HRD because of the endless training programs that we conduct, meetings etc. All are new to me... and I already have plan to come up with a structured trainig plan for UTeM. Unfortunately, takpe la... next time. Even though the paper and the framework dah siap to be presented, I guess the PIC next will be responsible. Sayang pulak tak dpt to be part of something so big... Anyway, with my status married with kids ni tak sesuai nak selalu jalan jauh2 lama2... tinggal bebudak kecik tu, takut tak kenal mama dia pulak lepas ni...

At the same time, I can also enjoy in perjawatan since I know most about perjawatan... kerja senang la sikit, terus dapat plan extra2 activities. Tak payah nak belajar banyak2... Tapi at the end regret cause it leads to my friend's discomfort pulak...

I myself terpikir gak... teruk sangat ke aku kerja sampai kena reassign sampai 4 kali sepanjang 7 tahun kerja kat UTeM.... hihihi... Takpe la worst comes to worst jadik full time housewife... hihihihi... Ok la... sorry, no pictures.. next time, I'll post some raya pics...

Raya

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin...

It goes to all friends and families...

Raya tahun ni banyak berjalan je, this year beraya di Muar and it happens that this the first raya abah beraya tanpa arwah mak (mak mertua). So, kami bawak dia melawat kalu boleh semua sedara mara dari parit sulong sampai parit jawa... hihihi... seronok gak especially time dengar abah speaking german ngan sedara maranya... sedap gek mendengarnya... Kalau Melaka ni takde benda sangat la bahasanya, biasa je...

Kanak2 berdua tu paling seronok aku rasa, bukan seronok dapat duit raya, which they still don't understand or appreciate... but they had fun with thier cousins... main sampai tengah malam. As usual I would let them play since the week after raya dah sekolah balik, so kena la tidor awal...

I start to work on Monday actually, tapi tak kesampaian since mak mintak tolong hantar my niece ke KL balik college. So, I took the day off and sempat la beraya rumah k.intan and along di shah alam. The next day, we went to rumah ateh pulak beraya. This weekend along balik, so dapat la melawat sedare mare on my side pulak...

This week dah ramai yang start buat open house... K. Mars pun dah jemput, and my staf jalilah pun dah ajak... makan free la... other yet to be invited. My open house most probably next week, tapi tak nak wat cam last year. Last year wat open house 3 times. Rasa nak bengkok kaki aku yang cacat ni...

Anyway, raya tahun ni is as cheerful as always...

Weekend

Weekend hari tu banyak aktiviti, seronok jugak... on saturday lepas sahur I polish rumah sebab nak balik rumah mak lepas buka nanti lepas tu most probably balik rumah tu semula after raya... so kemas la mana yang patut. Malam buka di Century Mahkota dengan si comel dua orang tu. Actually kekadang drag jugak nak bawak kanak2 tu gi berbuka diluar sebab kadang2 out of control sikit. Bila ada band ke apa ke... they prefer to sit near the stage which is so far from our table.. keamanan nak mentekedarah tu ada terganggu sikit and kanak2 tu pun tak tentu arah nak makan. Tapi sebab dapat makan free, gi la jugak... wasting la pulak kalau tak pergi.



Sahur next day, I found that we had 4 type of masak asam kat rumah mak... one which I made the day before (tetel masak asam), another tetal masak asam from angah and there are 2 other masak asam ikan. Maybe we had sychronized mind atau telepath among ourselves or instinct la kot... hari ni masak asam... tu yang jadik gitu tu... so, takpe la... asalkan bahagia....



Tapi the best part, on sunday we had sambal tempoyak petai which is my family fav dish. Masak giler banyak sebab tak risau, sure habis punya.... So, I would like to say to my other siblings yang tak dapat balik kampung hari tu (brothers), anda adalah dalam golongan orang-orang yang rugi kerana tak balik hari ahad.... tengok gambar je la ye... hihihihi... (tanduk dah kluar)


Besides fav dishes during the weekend, seronok tengok kanak2 tu dapat jumpa their cousins. Anak along and mine are in the same age range.. so, they played sampai berpeluh... Rasanya kalau uzma main camni every day ada harapan slim la... Campur ngan anak angah tapi diorang dah besar sikit... and we went to visit ateh kat alor gajah... sahur kul 11.00 malam (moreh) kat umah ateh.

So, raya tahun ni, ramai jugak. Basically everyone are here but not at the same time. for the past few years ada je yang tak dapat balik raya. Either ateh atau alang la. Hopefully, bila diorang ni dah tak larat nak kerja dok je kat m'sia ni... boleh la buat aktiviti kekeluargaan selalu2.

Friends

Dah lama tak melepakkan diri kat blog... busy la... terlalu banyak kerja dan bulan puasa ni rasa macam sentiasa tak cukup masa. Banyak sangat aktiviti. Daripada bangun sahur sampai la nak tidor malam ada je benda nye... buat ke seratus kalinya aku kata aku nak jadik full time housewife...

Teringat pulak kat kengkawan seangkatan... How they handle life so far... My circle of close friends tak la ramai sangat. Sejak kerja di UTeM ni, besides hubby, I have 2 other very close friends. Dari time anak dara dulu, ada je aktiviti merepek meraban yang dibuat... Among the three of us, I'm the eldest la... then wanni next jija... Wanni (left) dah ikut hubby dia study di UK... dah kurang la berborak.... sebab bila dia call aku memanjang je takde kat ofis... harapkan msg kat blog dia la... Jija (center) ada kat UTeM lagi... dok kat Korporat tu... korporat ke keparat... hihihihi... yang ni pun satu... bila aku free dia manjang bz ngan function, bila dia free aku pulak merayau ngan kursus aku tu... Kalu ada time free dapat la kuar bfast... tapi time bulan pose ni... bila masanye... hari tu kejap dapat buka sesama, tu pun sebab nancy ajak... kalu tak, selamat hari raya le... Gambar ni time kami camping kat Taman Negara...

I got married first in 2004, wanni in 2005 and jija 2006. so, anak kami pun tak jauh beza... hihihihi... Nurin (right) anak wanni, Raul (center) anak jija and uzma (left) is mine. Orang kelantan kata 'come'.
Jija and wanni cepat la dapat lagi sorang, sama seri ngan saya... hihihihi...



Anyway, actually I don't have much to write, still tired with chores so idea tak nak mari....

Buka



Semalam lepas balik dari kampung, terus ambil bebudak dari sekolah... Tapi punya la bercinta nak balik masak sebab dah kul 6 lebih. So kami pun menujulak ke Giant... buka di Pizza... dah lama gak tak makan pizza. Hubby aku sorang ni tak minat pizza tapi sebab dia tau aku punya la giler pizza, ikut je la...




Masa pregnant dulu, tiap2 minggu makan pizza, dua kali pregnant... dua kali la aku ngidam pizza... Tapi sekarang dah kurang sikit... takat kalau ada masa dan terasa nak makan tu pergi la...




maisara (akak) tu tak berapa nak makan, so dia makan mushroom soup ngan breadstix je... tu pun dah sedawa 2-3 kali... yang sedap tengok makan uzma (adik)... makan chicken speghetti, lepas tu soup ngan breadstix... balik umah mintak susu pulak... tu yang badan boleh tahan la.. cam aku gak.. hihihihi...

Al-Fatihah

Semalam aku menerima khabar berita yang kurang baik. Biras aku (Ila) yang sedang mengandung 6 bulan dikhabarkan anak dalam kandungannya telah meninggal dunia. Innalillah... Sepatutnya, semalam nak keluarkan baby tu dan terus nak hantar ke kampung untuk uruskan jenazah. Tapi tak kesampaian sebab Ila masih belum sakit nak bersalin. Nak kena tunggu ke?.... Hari Isnin malam masa aku melawat, katanya air ketuban dah dikeluarkan, darah pun dah berenti... tapi nak kena tunggu sakit baru nak keluarkan. Subhanallah... apa la khabarnya baby dalam perut tu...

Kesian jugak aku tengokkan Ila tu, dah naik pucat muka dia... nampak sangat dia frust dan sedih... Baru je bulan lepas sebelum puasa, aku ada buat makan2 kat rumah, dan dia datang... masa tu aku baru tau dia mengandung... mana tidaknya jarang dapat jumpa... Aku tengok perut kecik je... tapi takde la suspect apa-apa sebab masa aku pregnant 1st baby dulu pun, masa 6 bulan aku still boleh pakai seluar jeans...

Tapi Allah lebih menyayangi baby tu... mungkin ada hikmah disebalik semua ni yang kita tak dapat nak tau sekarang... Aku harap2 dia pun dapat terima ketentuan Ilahi ni. Insyaallah, ada rezeki lagi nanti. Tengah hari ni aku nak gi tengok dia kat sepital, kot-kot dah bersalin.

Pencuci Mulut

Time buka pose ni sure nak kena ada pencuci mulut.. sehari dua tu boleh la layan buah, kejap tembikai, kejap tembikai susu, kejap limau... tapi kalu hari2 buah mau terbeliak jugak mata...

Minggu lepas ada la buat agar-agar roti, kot ada yang dah pernah buat, ok la... yang tak pernah buat, try la... dapat resepi ni pun dari my staf kat ofis. Sonang je... setengah jam pun dah boleh siap. Balik kerja tu sementara tengah tunggu ayam/ikan defrost tu, boleh la cairkan agar-agar, campurkan gula sesedap rasa ngan gula batu sikit... sementara tu, blendkan roti dalam empat keping dengan susu pekat satu tin, campur sikit esen vanila...

Nanti campurkan kedua adunan agar-agar dengan roti... deco la sikit dengan kaler merah, bagi nampak ada corak sikit... lepas tu masuk dalam freezer... by the time buka... dah keras dan boleh makan...

This week nak buat caramel gula hangus lak... I'll take pictures next time... (camera tak pernah nak caj... tu yang tak pernah nak terambik gambar... hihihi... :) Anyway, happy trying...

ESQ

I just came back from ESQ Leadership Training. Now I'm an alumni of ESQ which is very meaningful to me. For others yang pernah pergi kursus ni, you'll understand what I mean. Yang tak sure apa ke benda ESQ Training ni, I encourage all of you to join this.

I went there with some colleages and bosses... join staff from other organizations. I found that Petronas has made this course a culture, there are some other organizations as well which I'm not familiar with, there are also families yang dah jadi alumni. The gist of this course is muhasabah diri dan kembali kepadaNya and how to success in the name of God. Ramai gak non-muslim yang jadi alumni, since this is not a religous course, they will suit the input to their beliefs and purpose.

I am in a process of readjusting my life for Allah, please pray for my success as we know the enemy is always lurking to find our weaknesses and destroy our faith.

Subhanallah....

Ramadhan Datang Lagi

Hari ni hari ke empat puasa.. seronok gak walaupun actually sama je every year pun. Yang tak berapa nak syok tu sebab kerja aku yang naturenya asyik nak kena kluar ni menyebabkan aku rasa nak berenti kerja pun ada.. Best gak kalau jadi full time house wife ni...

Tapi ku gagahkan jua... hihihihi... nak carik makan biasa la tu... Kerja gomen, tapi bznya lain macam. Mungkin sebab badan berkanun gomen lain bznya dengan federal gomen... tapi tak leh nak komen la...

Pagi buta tadi aku dah masakkan lauk sahur bersekali dengan lauk berbuka pose petang karang... Ikan sepat masak lemak cili padi ngan nenas, sambal belacan (permintaan hubby) ngan sayur kobis je... petang ni, just tambah sayur goreng ngan ikan goreng untuk tuan puteri berdua tu (kalu tengok diorang makan, seronok... nasi putih ngan kicap pun jadik le...).

Semalam masakkan kari ikan bawal... seronok tengok hubby aku makan, siap bertambah... tu yang buat aku rasa berkobar nak masak lagi tu... lelama cam suka pulak walaupun kena bangun pagi buta masak. Tapi malam ni aku kena gi KL, so ada harapan cik abang aku tu tak bangun sahur... hantam saja la...
