Driving to Work

it's a heavenly drive these days
thanks to the school holidays

however, as a vivid driver myself
i observe this when cruising on the road to work

i always take the middle lane 
however, 
i see motorcycles
they are on my left side (ok..)
huh, they are on my right too!!

hey, 
do you it is so inconvenience for us the driver
whenever we wish to change lane
be it on our left or right
still, our eyes are keeping on you, motor riders!
just to ensure you are safe form any knock out!

but, motor riders
please keep to the safest area on the road....
i have witnessed
one of you being knocked out
yet the car driver left you all alone
they just drove off

take care of yourselves, motor riders!

Alia's Series of Notes Pt. 6

this happened one good morning
I brewed the usual pot of Milo
other half would always have a cup of it before off to work
there he goes, went off to work
me n the kids (minus angah yg still sleeping)
sent him off at the gate
after the kisses n waves
i went up to the kitchen
thinking it would be nice for my 1st round of breakfast
quick thinking, (takyahla nak bazir2 cawan)
terus je tuang air kat dalam cawan yg other half pakai
the moment i put the cup on my lips,
aaaa....ice ke!
Ala...kakak, ayah ni suka tau ice in the morning
(melepaskan separuh geram kat my eldest)
she digested my words for few seconds
before she blurted:
"ala mama..... takkan mama tak kenal ayah tu.....!"
(terkedu jap mama...!)

Mothers' Day Special


wordless, speechless..
tapi kalau semua ibu kat dunia ni macam ibu Christian kat video tu,
takkan ada kes dera anak, kes buang anak (cam kat negara kita terchenta ni!)

tapi apa yg paling terharu,
Christian tu the same age dgn my Adha
meleleh jap setitik 2 air mata ibu ku
sebabnya
kalau nak compare ketabahan ibu Christian tu
tak terbanding
I salute you!

dan yang buat meleleh lagi
baru pagi tadi Adha commented masa dia salam n kissed my hand time nak pegi kena:
"Mama, antik..!" (referring tu the new cardigan I am wearing today)
Christian pun boleh jugak puji Mamanya one day..!

Simply A Celebration for Ayah

Sketsa time bersiap nak pegi keja:
Mama: Ayah, mama belikan kek utk ayah
Ayah: Mengarut
Mama: apa mengarut pulak... ayah balik awal sikit la eh, suh abah datang jugak

So, we did celebrate his 34th birthday (ingat tu Ayah, 34 bukan 32 lagi ye!)
Some pics to remember..
Dah beranak pinak ni, nak potong kek pun sibuk je yg cenonit2 tu...!
Glorious Berry - Bakers' Cottage - not bad! 
 Patience celebrators
 Pets yg tolong sibuk

Happy 34th Birthday, darling Ahmad Izzuan!

Domestic Engineer (proud to be one!)

nak baca posting yang ni kena baca my previous one ok, kalau tak cam kurang kefahaman.. hahahah..(ayat poyo)

Anyway, I totally put my highest respect to all DEs out there. Why? Simply because I have been a DE before, with pay, again, with pay. Apparently, I was in a frictional unemployment few years back where I have given an early exit for 2 months (thank you!) with full pay, while looking for more permanent and promising job. I was resting at home with my 2 kids (then) for few weeks before I really looked for a new job. Truthfully, for at least 6 weeks, I was a full-time DE. How was I feel? Frankly, the first few days, I enjoyed my new status as a non-working Mom and started to plan days ahead. I managed to gather with few old friends and shopped. Enjoying myself. But after a while, err...what is my next plan? (takkan nak shopping hari2 kot...?)

How I spend my DE days...woke up early, as early as employed wives n moms (sometimes even earlier!) to prepare husband's for work - ironing his clothes, boiling water for his cup of Milo/Coffee, send him off to work (depan pagar je la kan). Did I continue my deep sleep...? not a chance! I started to prepare breakfast fro myself and the 2 toddlers. Started to do laundry before the toddlers got up, and you definitely can't plan what time there are up! Both toddlers needed attention surely. Changing them (mind you this look simple, but time taking too!) made them eat their breakfast - time consuming too! owh, laundry was completed, tadaaa......time to dry them up...while your eyes kept watching the little ones over their TV sessions - ensure their safety of course..!

After all that finish, the littlest one should be ready to take his usual nap. Sometimes I managed to take my bath early sometimes after they both were having their nap.

By 2 pm I took a snack before folding the dried laundry! Voila..all done! Ops...it does not stop there, mind you I still need to COOK!!! at least for 2 hours spent at the kitchen...to ensure while Mr. Husband got back from work at 6pm the meals were ready...

Again, DE tasks don't stop there. We still needed to mend the kitchen after dinner, to ensure cleanliness before off to sleep. Most of the time, even when others were in their deep sleep, DEs were still wide awake settling her chores.. their tasks are continuous, non-stop and overflowing and abundance as much as their love.

This is why I adore them. I have been there in their position once. Be it with salary or without salary (as in upah dari suami) no amount in the world would compare their every single drop of sweat for being Ikhlas keeping the house in order.

To all DEs out there.. be strong when you were remarked: "Ah, awak kat uamh bukan buat apa pun!" or even "untungla kau jadik surirumah, senang, tak macam aku balik kerja nak terkejar2 buat tu ini.." Believe this, if you are sincere of staying and keeping the house your husband could provide, the rewards from Allah are even greater....people would say whatever they would, whatever they could, but Allah knows even more..

This is the noblest position of the whole world. Hence, I salute you, Domestic Engineers! Salam Hari Ibu, too, DEs!
