Pelupa?

Lately makin menjadi-jadi… I think in a week adalah kot 2/3 kali terjadi insiden terlupa ni.
Last week saje I think ada 2 kali kot kena patah balik rumah sebab kes terlupa ni.

Situasi 1

Nak pegi check up kat Pantai Hospital. Before that pegi post office, collect parcels from US (yippe yay yay!). Sebelum pegi tu dah check semua benda tapi terlupa juga nak check buku merah (from Klinik Kesihatan) dah ada dalam handbag ke tak. So, bila dah settle amik parcels semua… check dalam bag buku merah tu takde. Laa… apa guna nak pegi hospital tapi tak bawak any history record. Sure doc akan soal siasat bagai nanti.

In the end, kena lah patah balik rumah and amik buku merah tu. Nasib baik lah belum naik hiway lagi ;)

Situasi 2

Bila dah cuti panjang, first day to work mesti macam kelam kabut sikit. I’ve prepared all the stuffs that I wanted to bring to work and also to the post office the night before. Even pagi tu dah tengok-tengok dah apa lah lagi yang belum kemas. After kiss goodbye to Umar and his dad, we parted ways. I’m heading to post office and hubs sending Umar to babysitter’s place. Sampai je kat post office, I remembered I forgot to bring notice from post malaysia – that I have parcel to collect. Argh! But then I told myself, takpe… hubs can help to pick up tomorrow. Lepas habis post barang-barang, masuk je dalam kereta teringat lagi satu benda terlupa nak masukkan dalam kereta. Dang! Apalah nasib ku ni.

I’ve promise Ada to bring all her stuffs to work and she will pick up from my workplace during lunch time. Barang-barang Ada tu lah yang terlupa nak masukkan. Haih. So, yeah… patah balik rumah amik her stuffs and off to the office.

Situasi 3

Usually bila terbangun lambat, tak sempat siapkan lunch box Umar… I’ll be sending his lunch box before I’m off to the office. Umar and hubs usually left home around 7.40 macam tu, if by then tak sempat siap I just asked hubs to buy something for Umar for breakfast (usually akan pack some cereals, but if we are running out of cereals kenalah pegi beli). So, last week… one of the day I have to send his lunch box sbb kes terbangun lambat. Hehe. Lepas dah siap masak semua, I’m all set to go out. Dan untuk kesekian kalinya, I make sure I have everything IN the car. Yes, semua ada… baglaptop, handbag, handphone… yes, semua ada. So, kunci semua pintu bukak pagar… the minute before I put my gear to “R” i remembered… “EH, LUNCH BOX UMAR!!!!” Nasib baiklah tak keluar pagar lagi.

Kronik benar rasanya saya ni.

One day a son asked his father:
“Daddy, will you run the marathon with me?”
Despite having a heart a heart condition, the father answered yes and both run their first marathon together.

One day, the son asked his father if he wants to run the marathon with him again and the father answered yes. They both run the marathon together again.

Then one day the son asked his father: “Daddy, will you run the Ironman with me?” (the Ironman is the toughest… it requires a 4km swim, 180km biking and 42km running). And the father said, yes…

Well, it may seems a very normal conversation between a father and son.
Watch this…

I had this video shared during my 7 Habits class, and mann… I cried, I cried like a girl lost her kitten. Very touching and inspirational.

We think we see the world as it is, when the fact we see the world as we are
~Stephen R. Covey~

I sign up a “commitment” to attend this 3 days class and I put 0% expectation on it. It’s not that I don’t plan to gain anything from it… It just I don’t want to put any expectation, so that I don’t get myself frustrated after the class. Well, I heard nothing but good about this class. So, in my mind the only thing that I set is… is class is going to be great. That’s it.

As the 1st day ended (which is last Wednesday), it changed my paradigm…

I’d say I was very depress and frustrated over things that going on recently. And as I talked to myself, I kept on blaming others bcos of it. To me, everyone around me was wrong and I was right. Until at certain point, I even shouted at my 23mons son. Can you believe it?! Of course I feel bad, but at that time I was hoping that people around me understand me. I don’t want to understand them… yeah, I guess I was pretty bad that time :(

This class actually “saved” me… Well, I cannot say that this class totally change me, but I can say that it gives some impact on me.

There was a session when you have to write your personal mission statement, I was nearly cried when I wrote it. Bcos I realize that I’m too far from being a good person, how lah nak jadi greatest mom to my children? I hope it’s not too late for me to be the one that Umar going to say, “Mama, you’re the greatest mother is the world!” :)

Ok, enough for now… I have to get ready to go for the final session for this class – hari ini kelas mula lambat sikit, tu yang ada masa nak update blog =P I will write and share more about this class next time, insyaAllah.

p.s: the only downside about this class it held in PG. Semalam keluar pukul 7 pun sampai PG pukul 8.40. Satu jam dan 40 minit stuck dalam traffic jam. Naik lenguh kaki. Itu pakai keta auto (sila bersyukur sekarang). Dengan gastric datang menyerang, memang rasa macam nak pull over atas bridge tu and just wait until it cleared. So traffice, please be nice today ok.

Off PTPTN issue

I think when students siap ber-demo bagai to support on this so-called “abolish PTPTN” is somewhat ridiculous! Lagi baik lah pegi kelas/study dari nak ber-demo semua ni.

To me, when you apply for a loan, sampai masa kena bayar… you bayarlah. As simple as that. Kalau rasa tak mahu bayar, belajar pandai-pandai… dapat 1st class honors, then boleh convert jadi scholarship (according to PTPTN lah). Or kalau rasa tak mahu terbeban nak bayar balik, tak payah nak pinjam-pinjam. Senangkan?

I am one of those people yang memang rasa terbeban (sikit) dengan bayaran balik PTPTN ni sebab caj perkhidmatan dia tu… Tapi saya tetap bayar. Setiap bulan. Hutang tetap hutang. Sampai sekarang rasa menyesal sebab tak submit borang JPA for scholarship dulu :(

I think in a way, paying PTPTN loan every single month teaches you discipline and responsibilities. Tak bayar, lagi banyak kena bayar nanti… so better pay now rather than suffer later. And I think you’ll work hard to earn every single $$$ of your paycheck so at the end of the month, you can pay the loan.

This is just two cent of my humble opinion.
Giving free education in tertiary level and abolish PTPTN are two separate issues. I still don’t think it is the same… If you are on the side of giving free education to people, then jangan nak jadi kan hutang PTPTN ni as an issue. Pegi jumpa YB berdekatan… suggest kat dia what do you have in mind in order for our country to give free education in tertiary level. Ok?

Maid

Setelah sebulan kot tak panggil weekend maid datang rumah, finally I gave-in. We called her to come to our house yesterday. Usually she will come once in 2 weeks. But I decided not to call her last month sebab sakit hati dengan cara maid tu buat kerja. So, I told myself selagi terdaya buat mana-mana yang mampu. Mana yang tak mampu, tutup sebelah mata and bear with it. But, I couldn’t stand the dusty furniture, clothes are piling up waiting to be fold and iron… and I’m out of my breath to catch up with everything that needs my attention T__T

Macam mana ye nak deal dengan maid ni sebenarnya? Like yesterday, I told her not to lock the safety gate since she don’t know how to operate with that thing correctly. “Biar je gate tu terbukak… tuan kecik tu tak bangun lagi… tak pelah” But she didn’t listen. She keep on pushing the gate to close and having a hard time nak bukak balik later. I helped her to open the gate if I saw her having a hard time to open it and I keep on repeating the same thing again and again. >__<
Not long after that I found that gate tak boleh bukak or tutup anymore or senang cakap dah rosak. Haihhhh.
And then, pasal sidai kain… dia ni suka nak sidai kat pagar instead kat penyidai kain. I told her many times, kalau nak sidai kat pagar boleh… tapi, sepit kain tu nanti terbang jatuh, kotor balik. Kotor tu satu, kalau masuk halaman rumah orang macam mana? Fyi, my neighbor pulak jenis yang selalu takde kat rumah.  And again, she didin’t listen.
Tu belum masuk lagi pasal scrubbing the toilet and washing the dishes tak bersih.

Aiyoo… kalau ada maid yang stay in kat rumah nanti cemana lah agaknya?

Baby #2

baby bump at ... errr... 15? 17? week

Semalam baru berkesempatan pegi check up adik baby, lambat seminggu dari tarikh appointment. We decided to do the antenatal check up for baby #2 kat Klinik Penawar & Dewan Bersalin Muslimah, Permatang Pauh. Jauh sikitlah dari rumah. Bila sampai sana, agak kecewa sikitlah sebab doc in duty bukan doc yang biasa jumpa. Tapi takpelah as long as dapat tau perkembangan adik baby, oklah.

So, we did the ultra sound to confirm on EDD. Kalau ikutkan, 2 doctor kata EDD saya hujung bulan August. 30th Aug, to be exact. But yesterday, it shows early September pulak. Meaning saya baru masuk minggu ke 15, instead of 17. Takpelah, esok pegi check kat klinik kesihatan kita tengok macam mana pulak.

Bila compare basic check up previous pregnancy and now macam lain pulak. Previous pregnancy pun buat check up kat private maternity hospital. I thought basic check up includes; weighing, record your bp & urine test, no? Sebab kat Permatang Pauh ni takde pun. Terus jumpa doktor je. Kalau nak buat ultra sound, bagitau… kalau tak… takde ape-ape lah. Rasa macam tak berbaloi pulak bayar mahal-mahal. Baik buat kat klinik kesihatan je. Free pun ye, dan lagilah tak payah tunggu lama. Kadang-kadang tu takde orang pun kat situ. Lagi lah senang.

Abang baby

Banyak sangat benda baru yang Umar develop recently. Tak ter-record rasanya. His vocab pun dah banyak sangat.

kayo = color
cici = chicken/lauk pauk makanan
cici = cicak
tupah = tumpah
kuci = kunci
sudah = sudah/dah tak mau dah. Yang ni memang expert la cakapnya. Kalau dah tak mau tu.. “suddaaahhhh”
baba = mintak tengok barney/boboi/any nursery rhyme.
abi doh = habis dah
takde/tadok = tak ada
daapp = sedap
pipi = pipi

Itu antara yang ingat buat masa ini. Kalau duduk dengan dia tu, ada je benda yang kita buat dia tiru. Now dah pandai nak hug. Sweet je bila dia minta nak hug.
Last night, sebelum tido dia membebel sorang-sorang. Entah apa yang dia cakap pun tak tau. Sebab pakai bahasa “german” dia. Dah la nak buleh ke tido tu punyalah susah. I must facing him, and kalau tak tengok dia nanti habis rambut kena tarik.

Selain dari tu, waktu makan pun dah susah sekarang ni. Dia tak mau orang suapkan, semua nak buat sendiri… So, tak banyaklah yang dia makan sekarang ni. Kalau dulu, sambil dia suap-suap sendiri tu boleh jugala menyelit suapkan dia makan. Tapi sekarang ni, jarang lah dapat.

Pegi shopping mall last Saturday pun boleh tahan challenging juga. Dah tak mau sit still in stroller T__T Masa kat toys department, semua yang dia nampak dia cakap, “nak ni… nak ni” Hahaha. Nak keluar dari situ pun payah juga >__<

Oklah, itu saja update untuk kali ini.
Bye!

Diaper Cake & Such Giveaway!

This is the very last day of this contest actually… I hope this tokei of Diaper Cake & Such perasan akan entri ini dan masukkan dalam list yang bertanding seterusnya menjadikan saya pemenang. Cewah, belum apa-apa dah berangan jadi pemenang :D

Syarat dia senang aje… Tapi tak senang mana… sebab kena pilih fav give basket or diaper cake from Diaper Cake & Such blog or its FB page (kalau belum ‘Like’ page ni, sila ‘Like’ ok, terlalu sweet dan comel to resist! ;) ). Terlalu banyak yang comel-comel dan cantik-cantik. Susah nak pilih mana satu yang menjadi pujaan hati. But since I’m going for gift basket, I decided to narrow down my scope to only gift basket and this is one of my favorite;

Sweet kan? :)

Masih sempat lagi kalau kamu orang nak join contest ini… it ends TODAY ok! Go and read the terms & conditions from here.

 

 

Comic Strips #1

Few things that made me bengang last week. And how I wish that I could read people mind – especially our customer’s mind. Hish. I don’t think they REALLY know what they want. And so, each time bila demo prototype… setiap kali tu jugalah kena tukar. Kalau setakat cosmetic changes, I don’t mind… Ini siap dengan logic pun salah… Eh, kau ni dah kenapa?! Business process sendiri pun tak faham ka?

T_____________T

Ok, ibu mengandung tak baik nak stress banyak-banyak sangat. Tak bagus untuk baby juga kesihatan diri. Jadinya, marilah kita pegi makan ice cream sambil hiburkan hati :D

 

 

Naaakkkk!

  • Soto nasi impit – ada bergedil kecik-kecik, comel lote, sambal kicap yang pedas lagi sedaps. Maaakkkk, nak soto. ;)
  • Nasi Briyani – either from Tajudin Husin or Kapitan. Chandra/David, bila nak bawak ni?
  • 1901 Hotdog – specifically wants the one from KLCC! Haha. Mengada! :P
  • Pizza, pizza and more pizza – semenjak dua menjak ni… suka benor dengan pizza. Amboi, nak… tekak Itali ye kamu. Siap boleh bau pizza lagi bila dah teringin sangat tu. Mengada tak?! Haha.
  • Baked cheese meatballs with masala sauce – I just had this last Monday, and I want it again! :P
  • Buger Bakar – @ikhwan88, u made me craving for its burger. You must MUST bring me there and make sure I get to eat it! Ehehe.
  • Tempoyak masak negori sembilan – I guess orang nogori know what dish I’m talking about. I don’t know the name, tapi sedap weh. Makan dengan nasi panas + ikan masin/kering. TERBAIKK!

Eh sudah lah… buat lapaq je bila list semua ni. Entah dapat, entah tidak ni.
Haritu texted Mak pasal masak tempoyak tu… she then immediately called me and said, “Haa… balik la kalau nak makan” Hihi.
Bestnya kalau boleh order-order macam tu pastu terus dapat.
Ah, berangan memang indah! :D
