Some Conversation

It was Report Card's Day for Alia and Faiz. Other half and I decided (weeks ago) to take leave for this purpose..and we did! We had a full day yesterday from morning till night, from tracking down FIL yanglari dari hospital in the morning till tracking down our car yang di pandu oleh FIL yang kurang daya ingatan in the night..anyway, we made full use of our day..and had it balstfully!!

on other hand, I received a parcel on Wednesday from Alex. I know its Herbalife set for my colleague. I ordered for her, and FIL received it. His remarks, BOM KOT NI? LOL...! When we both out to collect report card, he ordered jering la, petai la, ikan la, pucuk paku la.. since dah lama we both tak pegi pasar cokit, we were happily buying things he ordered there.

on the way there, other half and i were having this conversation that made me smile (and geram of course!) till now.

Ayah: Mama beli apa dalam parcel tu (he is referrign to the arcel received a day earlier)?
Mama: Herbalife..kawan mama kat opis order..
AYah: bagus ke..? kat hotel aritu pun ada seminar pasal HErbalife ni..orang Korea buat
Mama: product ni dari US la Yah...ramai yang menten body weight minum ni...
Ayah: mama minum tak?
Mama: minum le..tapi tak amik selalu takut mama...dulu mama amik masa peknenkan Adha..mama rasa Adha tu besar sebab Herbalife..
Mama: sebab tu time Emir mama stop amik Herbalife, takut baby besar lagi..
AYah: cuba mama amik lagi..
Mama: memang la mama amik lagi ni
Ayah: cuba laa lagi..
Mama: nak cuba apa? dah memang mama amik herbalife ni
Ayah: cuba lagi, tgk kali ni 4 kg lagi tak?
Mama: Ayahhhhhhhhhhhhh....! (kena cubit laa puting tetek ayah kan....!)

Ada lagi hati nak menambah anak....aduihhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pengsan mama!

My Favourite Sunday

what a topic...favourite sunday? shopping laaa....!! hahaha... that is not really a favourite sunday la.. but wish for it eventually..bila dah tader benda nak buat or terlebih sudah duit nak berbelanja...tah bila2 la kan...!
however, if u ask me now, my favourite Sunday was a typical sunday for some ppl.. why? sometimes when I feel I am so used not to have other half spending time with me n kids over the weekend, when he is actually free himself from work on Sunday, that is more than enough..!
We didn't go to shopping mall or any theme parks for that reason.. we spent our time totally at home! what we did that I feel so blessful? Practically nothing and everything..! A
s why this Sunday is my favourite Sunday, we began the morning (as early as 730am..don't forget my kids are all early birdies..!) we had our morning walk around our taman sahaja.. I really love my new house where less bunyi moto kapcai prengg sana prengg sini...(in other word, InsyaAllah it is now safe dari peragut...) we strolled along the neighbourhood...tgk2 rumah org itu org ini renovate sana renovate sini..cengkononnya leh bagi idea bila it's our turn to renovate our cozy living home tu...! pastu pi taman permainan nearby our house...since it is sunday morning, no kids are up yet, thus the whole taman milik anak2 ku! buaian for babies (toddlers) ada 2 for Emir and Adha, buaian for big kiddos ada 2 jugak, for kakak n angah... rugi tak bawak kamera..kalau tak sure dah upload kat sini...
ard 830 balik umah, amik kunci keta pi bekfes...
balik bari bekfes, start SPRING CLEAN!! every one of us given a task.. emir n adha tido dalam buai kat ground floor..so angah kena jaga n tolong buai adik....mama kat first floor masak... ayah 3rd floor ngemas.. opp lupa kakak kena basuh baju kat porch depan tu...she is a darling! thanks kakak...
i know i owe the wardrobe both mine and the kids' total clean up.. after i finished with my lempeng pisang for brunch since sumer dah makan bekfes.. i prepared teh o panas.. and baby Emir dah terjaga... bathed him and feed him.. brought him upstaris with kakak.. while mengemas tilam n katil, i asked kakak to take out all the clothings dari dalam wardrobe.. pilihman anak pakai mana tak mau asingkan.. baby emir rolling on the bed..ayah clean up kitchen lepas mama masak kan.. angah still jaga adha dalam buai..done with kiddo's room back to mama n ayah's room..by this time adha already up..
by the time everything is done in the room ayah pun siap menyapu n mengemop ground floor and first floor. lastly, we all went down where ayah needs to sweep n mop top floor...
the best moment, sambil kemas sambil makan lempeng pisang...
we finished everything termasuk mama masak dinner around 6 pm.. i love this sunday particularly and simply because, there were only 6 of us in the activity room..where ayah n angah main PS2..mama kakak adha n emir were also there mesmerising our short time together.. mmg jarang2 dapat camni..true enough this is always my favourite sunday..!

To Get Involve or Not To....

I used to be a very involved person, personally I know I am... everything or anything I will get involve, even for nothing y'all..kenduri kendara, I will be there till my cloth basah kering on my body..koyak pun ada, really!

I was so pissed off with my fiance when we were first engaged. Simply because HE IS A TOTAL OPPOSITE of myself. grrrrrrr....!! I even remember when I managed to forced him to drive me back to Johore to attend my best friend's wedding, we even fought for this (of course he did not want to ok...!) turned out he drove me, his mom n nenek, but HE SLEPT in the car whole night!

I am now married to him for almost 10 years. What I learnt, you don't have to get involve with everything..reason? bila kita susah ada ke orang nak tolong kita...? true enough frens.... no one knows u when u r in deep trouble..

at present, i tried to help some ppl.. but sincerely I don't know my help is an assistance or turned out to be a disaster.. I just pray it will go well...!

Good luck..(to me actually!)

Dressing Up for Work (or anything!)

Ini pun nak jadi issue ke? hahahhahahaha...

Well.... have u ever wonder why many woman (mostly if not all ok..) especially those who are working took at least 5 minutes to think about what to wear to work. It always came to our mind OMG, I don't have anything to wear today...?? The fact that 3/4 of the 8ft tall wardrobe filled with our clothing we still find ourselves 'nothing to wear for work today' remarks! P/S: encik Suami, jangan marah ye...!

Back to how I feel now, gosh, how I wish I work in a place where we need to wear unirofm to work... Naahh....it would be so boringgg.. kerja Polis ka? Kerja askar ka? haishhhh...not my type of working environment surely.. be thankful of what u have babe...!

Anyway, women (career woman mostly) will always have this kind of feeling, my wardrobe is not complete..I need that kind of bag, now that I got it, owh, I need a pair of shoes to match with the bag.. oh, I just going to window shop with the family, where is my Croc? oh I don't have any Croc..should I just cling on the BATA sandal..OMG the sandal is torn, how to wear it..?? slipper?? what?? to wear it with my pants and shirt....it does not match, oh puh-leassee....!

We are not demanding (at least I am not that demanding)... I will bear with anything but what I must have:

1. Sandal - to wear casually to beli barang at Tesco
2. Slipper - to wear when u kemas laman
3. Court Shoes - at least Black and Dark Brown to wear for office preferably with pants and shirt
4. Stiletto - dress shoes leh tukar2 dgn courst shoes or kaki sakit pakai court shoes
5. High heel sandal - senang nak sarung dalam ofis, or with jeans
6. Crocs - for casual wear to office or tim ekena keja weekends casually

Bags:
all that match with the above...at least ok...!

So bila I kata 'nothing to wear for work' means hi babe let's do some shopping spree for me..?

hahaha...dapat ke....!?

Mansions @ Damansara

how nice eh! bukan I beli mansion tu.. tapi kalau ada duit teringin gak la...

Well.. nowadays, I found myself flooded with so many ideas to share as I drove along LDP for work. This morning, I saw a billboard slightly before Penchala toll advertising about rows of mansion will be developed in Damansara area.. wow! mansion?

My mind immediately think and imagining the bungalows of our ministers anak toyol especially the ex-MB of Selangor.....even bugnalows are out of our hands, this is mansion!! hmm... sorry to say, I was quickly thinking about Bik Mama (PM wife) and the MONGOL model-raper (PM wife husband).. tey are living in a MANSION too..provided by the goment, using ppl money.. one question quipped: is this mansion a home to them?

for at least 10 minutes in the jam packed traffic along LDP my mind raced between home or house?mansion?flat?shophouses?setinggan?bawah jembatan?banglo?semi-d?townhouse?

I am just blessed with all that I have..with all the me n other half could offer to our family.. be it a small flat or a three storey terrace with extra land for our kids to play around, I am just thankful. Simply because our house (whatever it looks like) is always a home to us.. a place we are looking forward to go home safely to everyday, with lots of laughter (and equal amount of marah2 too!). This is our home.. at this moment, we do not need a MANSION surely!

Peace y'all!

OMG............!!!!!

This recently and lately, OMG trademarked me in the office... as my colleagues said: OMG = Kak Farah... hahha... OMG or used to be Oh My God (better sounded OMG I guess..!) is my favourite phrase after following Maharaja Lawak on Astro Warna.. giler best!

Anyway, Maharaja Lawak is not my concern here (I will post about it laaattteeerrr...). My point is, sometimes i just awed at certain ppl attitude...OMG..! Especially bila dapat pangkat/title tinggi sikit...OMG...! Kira nampak orang lain as BALACI ajer kan...OMG...!!

True enough, me and OMG go hand in hand..! hahhahahahahha..........

Middle Fingered in the morning

It has been almost 4 months I drove to and fro for work place. Since I am so used to the road, I always put on my auto-driving mode in my mind.

However this morning, as I drove in the heavy traffic, this Indian culprit driving a Kembara showed his middle finger when he bypassed my car.. aik? adakah jari itu untuk aku? cam konpius kejap la...cuma when i looked at him zooming off to the other side, buat bodo je la... lantak kau la...

Hari Sukan

Angah: Mama, nanti mama hantar kitorang pegi Stadium Selayang kan

Mama: ye... ayah tak leh hantar, dia kerja

Alia: Lepas mama hantar, mama balik dulu ke...?

Mama: takla..mama tunggu la kakak dgn angah habis sukan..

Alia: oo.. okey

these are antara conversations yang I LIKE dgn my kids.. of course the 2 elders.. kalau dgn Adha I like jugak having a conversation with him.. all he knows is NAK..NAK.. bila nampak anyone eating anything/something.. tahle anak sorang tu...makan tak ingat....!

Anyway, don't you think anak2 akan rasa diambil berat bila anything regards to their skool activities their parents datang tengok... i am imagining myself when i was a kid..at least that was how i felt..giler TERKESIMA bila nampak mak or bak kat event sekolah...! selalunya bak yang datang.. mak tak datang sebab mak jaga adik2...

so last sunday, i hantar diorang stayed with them, pastu bagi sokongan moral bila they were in their action... i could see form Alia's n Faiz's eyes bila nampak i n their baby brother Adha..good luck angah n kakak..

in the end, kakak sengih2 bawak medal walaupon tempat ke tiga.. angah tak menang tapi dia tetap happy...! love u all.. - mama

Anger Management Part Deux

how do you handle your anger? success-fully?tired-fully?ignored-fully?blast-fully?

I believe every single soul in this mortal world has their own way of handling anger.. I grew up in a low-income group of family of 8, where we struggled (especially my parents) to survive each passing days.. I do remember many occasions what we had for dinner were merely plain rice with salted margerine..have u ever tried that? WE FOUGHT AMONGST US FOR A BIGGER PORTION, TOO..


I would like to quote a saying from my ever-fav comic: Calvin & Hobbes

"Very funny everytime he(refers to his father) says I build character, he saves a couple of hudred dollars!" ~ Calvin where he asked his father to buy a blower when he was asked to remove 2 feet snow in the pathway..


Anyways, my point here is how I grew up really helped me build my character now. Don't you think hardship will create a monster? I believe so.. but, thank God my childhood hardship has created none in my family. We value our hardship and built positive characters throughout.. Proof: out of 6, 5 of us made it... the last one couldn't get through, but she is a SHE, so marrying somebody who will make it, enough i guess..


My character is PATIENT..that is the most obvious when I married to a hot-tempered other half..with 4 kids! That is what I need at most times. Just like last night, when we had a nice time watching television, one thing lead to another, my other half shouted at my second one.. I dunno it seems he despise our second child as if he is not his! I HAVE BEEN TOO PATIENT! And I don't know how long I could grab the patience.. God helps me

Suddenly it came to a point where I blurted: "kalau nak marah anak, marah aje la, jangan la maki!"

tu dah kira hilang sabar sangat la tu... masih lagi menjaga hati suami...

Anger Management

This post is again about myself being a mother... siapa kata senang nak jadi IBU, ISTERI and at the same time CAREER WOMAN... isteri / ibu bekerja ni ada 3 tugas yang dipikul... tu tak termasuk kalau ada part time job..4 tugas dalam satu2 masa... almost every woman has been there done that!

tapi yang paling susah is being a mother to kids whose father is HOT-TEMPERED!! not everyone 'been there done that' in this case.. OMG...I am one for god sake.. letih tau... letih dengar JERKAHAN yang melebih2... seriusly..! I pity my kids... mmg la sayang anak tangan-tangankan..tapi jangan laa lebih2 menjerkah tu... Oh Encik Suami, tolong la faham, MOST OF THE TIMES, anak tu bukan MENANGIS sebab sakit jatuh akibat bergurau senda, tapi TERKEJUT ayah marah AT HIGH PITCH! Oh Encik Suami, tolongla faham, apa akibatnya kalau anak2 kena marah AT HIGH PITCH... at one time, their respect will be gone...

So, bila jadi ibu, I cried inside my heart bila anak2 yang 9 bulan dalam kandungan, dilahirkan sesempurna insan tapi dimarahi oleh ayah pemberi benih dengan perkataan2 yang tidak sepatutnya keluar dari mulut seorang ayah....

myself trying to be a good wife, a fair mother, what i did.. diam, cried inside...masuk tido dengan harapan anak2 tidak akan terus merus mengingati ayah as someone yang baran..i pray hard for that..!

Cake on Demand

Haishhhh..kalau dah jadi ibu ni, banyak sangat demand dari anak2 ni kan... tapi kalau ikut si Alia, demand nya banyak sungguh....tapi reasonable demand la i should call it..

kadang2 terpikir2 apa laa conversation our kids ni at school..terkujat pun ada bila dia balik, nak itu ini..cam semalam where dia berlari2 tgk my car was already parked outside and saw me in the kitchen..

first sekali dia happy bawak balik her mid year exam results..

Kakak: mama, kakak dapat seratus peratus Pemahaman dengan Ejaan..tapi 99 je penulisan
Mama: ye ke..mana
Kakak: ni hah..kakak salah eja je NYANYI tu cikgu tambahkan N...apa laa kakak ni kan... cikgu suruh kawan2 tepuk tangan untuk sapa2 yang dapat seratus tadi...
Mama: ramai tak yang dapat seratus?
Kakak: adalaa dalam SETENGAH murid....
Mama&Ayah senyum je la...
cemana hek setengah murid tu..?

oh, by the way.. Angah langsung tak hirau nak tunjuk kertas exam dia.. bila mama tanya baru nak keluarkan dari beg...patutle takmau tunjuk 60% dgn 75% je... kakak boleh comment lagi, apa laa angah ni kan mama, TIN mana ada SOUND...ULAR ni kan ada SOUND... semua salah la angah ni....

Pastu dia leh demand plak nak kek pisang.. weekend aritu mmg dah buat kek pisang tu.. tapi disebabkan mama dah tapaukan untuk TokCit and Omah kat johor thru Ucu... kakak tak puas makan agaknya...

Kakak: mama kena jugak buat kek pisang malam ni
Mama: nape
Kakak: kakak dah janji dengan ifah
Mama: kakak janji apa dengan Ifah?
Kakak: kakak janji nak bawak kek pisang esok pegi sekolah.. kakak dah kata dengan Ifah mama buat kek MAVELES!
Mama: mak oi.....(tertelan air liur mama...dalam hati je laa..)

tak sampai hati untuk tidak buat kan walaupun penat kan..walaupun berpuasa kan... the way she asked for it tu yang buat tak sampai hati untuk tidak mengukus kek itu... anak oh anak.....!

Bibir akak tak tegak!

There was one night when we all slept in fron tof television..reason, kakak n angah tak berani nak tido dalam bilik sendiri..plus Uwan was not around, adha takder kawan...we we slept whilst the tv was on...mama n ayah still belum tido la kan...

Kakak was exhausted because she played throughout the day cuti sekolah kannnn....! lagi plak that Monday mama and ayah tak keja.. she had all the day to play.. takyah nak jaga adik... but what i am pointing out here is she dozed off even before others did... and she slept so soundly that Adha was tempted to whack her...he did! well, he whacked kakak on her face with all his might I guess till kakak was crying in her sleep! very nottie tau Adha...! after ayah marah and kakak stopped crying i thought that story ends there..till the very next morning..

Kakak: Mama... malam tadi Adha pukul kakak ke mama....
Mama (eyes still unopened....): hmmm... kakak tak sedar ke...?
Kakak: Kakak macam rasa Adha pukul kakak malam tadi..
Mama: ye la... Adha pukul kakak sampai kakak nangis... kakak tak ingat ke...?
Kakak: ishhh.... nakal tau Adha ni.... (sambil pegang mulut...) tengok ni... BIBIR KAKAK DAH TAK TEGAK dah ni....!

Ayah & Mama laughed out!!!

Mama: Bukan tak tegak la kakak, BENGKAK!!!

Pity my only girl... hihihi (tapi mak oi vocab tu....!! tah hapa-hapa tah kakak ni....)
