I am 40

Semalam, pada 8 Syawal 1430 hijrah bersamaan 27 September 2009, aku sah berusia 40 tahun... ramai rakan2 di Facebook mengucapkan selamat harijadi, bermula dengan Anom seawal pagi lagi, diikuti Afiq dan Pak Man. Kemudian, yang lain2 menyusul, Amoi, Bob, Ize, Dwan, Cik Mi, Ida, Tie Radio, dan ramai lagi... Di Geni.com, aunt Eve, Pak Rain, abang Din... hm, terasa disayangi...






Di rumah, Papa dah ucap selamat seawal Subuh, kemudian Ayum & Ayang. Aduk kena remind pulak... Uda ada sms, tp Boy lupa pulak, sampai kena remind... Petangnya, ada masak kat rumah, potong kek - Choc Lady...sedap! Berpusing2 jugak cari, sebab American Choc di Batu Berendam dah habis... next year, confirm mesti beli Secret Recipe!






Raya celebration pulak, mcm biasa.. terkejar ke sana sini, dapatlah jugak tidur Jasin n rumah sendiri... tahun ni tak sempat buat kuih byk, dpt tart, choc chip & choco cornflakes aje... tp kuih boleh tahan byknya, sebab tempah dr Yah Violet Tart, beli dr Pijoy Mamar Keri, then beli di Mydin 2 jenis, kek lapis & makmur dr Boy... oklah jugak, yg lain2 adalah maruku, kacang, kerepek bawang...

Duit raya anak2 pun, ok jugak, Alhamdulillah... dah simpan pun sikit di Tabung Haji.. RM210 in total... Altogether, nak kata banyak tu taklah, tapi rasanya dalam RM400++.

28 Ramadhan 1430

Just another 1 day to go before Muslims all over the world celebrate Eid. And how am I? Hmm... unsure. I have no problems with expenses this year, all my needs are met. But I'm feeling the blues...

Even got a new set of Carlo Rino handbag, after being content with cheap ones for a number of years... In fact, for the past three nites, we've been going to the malls to get some last-minute stuff. The first night, it was at Parkson & Jusco, the second nite, it was Mydin, and last nite, it was back to Jusco. This year, also, marks the first time that abang chooses most of his own stuff - shoes, slippers, songket, songkok, etc. The baju Melayu was my choice though, as I wanted to get his the same as his dad's. I got them at Hari2 in Sek 18. As for the girls' baju kurung, I got them at Mydin USJ- that was also the time I got stuck in a jam for some 40 mins. As for my own baju kurung, a set was bought in Tampin, while another was tailor-made by Ila's friend. Meanwhile, my shoes are Sachs, bought in Parkson Melaka Mall. Tudung, I bought them at Anggerik Mall. Then, I also got a nice Bonia T for Papa and a Batik-style shirt for my Atok (my tradition with them). So, everthing all set for raya!

But we don't feel good this year...With my hubby's Indonesian workers still detained by the police, we really are so down... after getting the news from papa yesterday that their would be detained til the 23, my mood really dipped. Tears dropped while I was driving, I really don't know why the police insist that they be remanded, as we all thought that they would be released yesterday. I really hope that nothing untoward other than their remand would happen in the coming week.

On the national level, I really hope that not many deaths would take place this year. Really, really hope that things will go well... Amin

25 Ramdhan 1430

Gosh, how time flies.. Before you know it, it's almost raya! And my son has completed his UPSR exams last Thursday! i pray that he'd do well. According to him, he had made 3,4,5,6 errors in his MCQ papers for BM, English, Science & Maths. Well, what's done is done! He's now back with us in Melaka, and will not be attending school til after Raya. I've informed the school, and the class teacher says it's ok. Papa & Mummu are already in Jasin now...

Today is payday, am I'm quite glad that my July's pay is somewhat paid this month, so, I got some extra 800++ to spend on... anyway, I've done most of the buying, with the girls attire all complete down to the shoes & pajamas, but Ayum still has a few stuff to get, like his shoes, sampin & songkok. Though I hate last-minute hassles, but with all the traelling that I have to do every week, I definitely got no time for shopping.

And dear hubby? Hmm, even more hectic. But there's some shocking news to share - his Indonesian workers, Muh, Bapak n the gang (all six of them) were rounded up by the police as robbery suspects last Saturday nite. We hope that they'd all be released by tomorrow. Pity them!

And, another heart-beraking news is that Ila has miscarried for the second time. we got the news last Saturday, and Papa n Mummy were quite sad with the news, hence the stopover at Bangi on Sunday on our way back to Malacca. Tak ada rezeki lagi... I really hope that they'll be okay next time!

Time for class now!!!

12 Ramadhan

Life is quite hectic for me these days.... I have classes til the evenings everyday, be it at uniKL or UiTM. Even during the holy month of Ramadhan, I still have classes, and we have to break our fast during classes. So far, Dr. Normah, Dr Zee and Dr Nabila are very kind and accommodating to us, with Dr. Zee even postponing the test last week. But wait, that's tomorrow, and I still haven't finished studying, hahaha!!!

Hm, as usual, I'm guily of negelcting the blog... but as I've been quite busy, even FB is now neglected.. well what to do, it's somewhat blocked by UniKL...

Anyway, last Friday, I went to a reflexology session at my fav Beijing centre in Seksyen 13, Shah Alam. Emily, my fav therapist, somehow discovered that my heart may be having problems. So, what I did was, I went to buy B'Young, and have started taking it since last Friday. Gosh, it was quite a torture for me in the first couple of days, as my bladders became very "runny", I couldn't stop rushing to the loo to relieve myself... Today is already the 6th day of my BYoung course, and I'm beginning to feel its effects... high energy, no fatigue... best of all, I feel healthy!!! And I wake up every morn from my slumber without any lethargy that used to dog me every morn b4... So refreshed, as my sleep was fit and restful!

Ok, gotta go, I have class at 1pm with a class of 9 kids!!!!
