Lagi dan lagi

A dull day made even duller by a dialogue in a script of a TV programme:

Two friends are out in the woods getting lost when one of them slipped and rolled down the hill and BROKE HIS LEG. The other one quickly came to his rescue, which is normal lah kan. Tapi apa yang tak normal adalah soalannya 'Kau tak apa-apa, Man?'.

Did I mention that the guy BROKE HIS LEG?


Layan!



p/s As much as I think this rhyme doesn't make sense, I still sing it to Ilham. He seems to like it, or maybe he finds it amusing. That's my boy!

Language Lesson

I just love language...

What I found out recently (yes, I'm still learning, all the way learning)

1) perlindungan - protection
2)PElindungan - JAMBAN!
3)Perlaksanaan - implementation
4) Pelaksanaan - implement
5) Bekerja NOT berkerja
6) Bekerjasama NOT Berkerjasama
7) Memperindah NOT memperindahkan

There you go...

p/s Don't call me an expert because I'm not. I strive to be one, but am still not there yet.

Makcik Berturbo

Lambat sangat tunggu Amir blog this piece. Sakit hati tengok iklan Gillette Mach 3 Turbo yang ada sekarang. Alah iklan yang ada seorang perempuan cantik yang memakai nama SITI SALEHA. Aku ni agak2 pekak (tapi kurang pekak dari Sedi la), tapi masih boleh mendengar dengan jelas kesalahan sebutan yang amat ketara. Mungkin orang lain tak perasan sebab iklan tu tak der kena mengena dengan hidup dia, atau memang tak pernah pay attention pada iklan (betul tak der nafsu ni), atau masa iklan tu ditayangkan dia ke dapur, tandas, memandikan anak etc, atau mungkin tak amik pot sgt pasal kesalahan tu sebab dah terpana ngan muka si Siti yang memang comel.

Anda tak perasan ke sebutan dia

Gellette (L ditebalkan mcm Siti Nurhaliza) Makcik Turbo?

Tak perasan?

Pada siapa harus aku ajukan aduan ini?

hahahha..gelak je lah.

Funny Side of Things

Laughter is the best medicine for a heavy heart. Please help yourself

Of course all these will be much more hilarious with pictures.
Laugh, laugh laugh all you can, while you still can.

When You Have No Heart

When you have no heart, you tend to do horrible things like:

a) Holding up a baby's food money for the week just because you are mad at the parents
b) Avoiding your own sister because you know she's in deep shit and would probably ask for your help
c) Avoiding anybody whom you THINK is in deep shit because they would probably ask for your help and you do not want to look bad for not helping
d) Ignoring calls by a friend because you do not want to have to answer her many queries
e) Doing all the above but still think you are an angel

My prayers are all for you...

Taking Time Off...

I am taking time off from participating in any familial activities (my side of the family) to prevent anymore heartaches. Hahhaah Why so dramatic eh? Well as Hallmark says time and again, "in life there is drama".

Maybe this is the best for now. My sister in law asked me how long would the hiatus take, and my answer to her was "tak lama la, cuma sampai Ilham 5 tahun je".

It might or might not take that long. They say time heals all wounds. I am not sure if this wound would heal at all.

Anyways, Selamat Hari Raya Korban. I am celebrating this auspicious day in JB. No, they will not miss me.

The Star Player

As with other parents, we love to take pictures of our little man. Between us, we've actually taken 166 pictures of him (excluding some which are still in my phone). These are my personal favourite...



With Auntie Su..In this picture he looks more like me (atau adakah aku perasan?)




The sleeping, thinking boy




Why do you have to wake me up mama?




Bedong was so outdated for a boy like me...



I see the light! Just arrived in Bagan Lalang from Wangsa Maju




Two days old..First time in mama's arms.

Still A Long Journey

I'm taking a detour, a longer route but to the same destination as before. I'm not happy at all with the arrangement but this is what we have to endure until we have build up a strong team with one common goal.

Lend us your prayers.

Sumpah Aku Pernah Kurus

Sekarang nak kurus balik. Dulu banyak masa untuk ke gym, tanggungjawab hanya pada diri sendiri, sekarang cerita sudah bertambah baik. So kena carik cara lain untuk kurus dan mengekalkan kesejahteraan badan. Es0k pergi brisk walking kot. Erm KOT?

Our First Anniversary

It was actually yesterday. I woke up at about 4.30 am to feed Ilham and there it was a hand made card from Amir. hehe sweet eh? It's been a year and we still have a long way to go.

Kerja Kerajaan Selamat

I had the privilege of making acquaintance with an old makcik today. Five minutes into the conversation I knew that she has three children, her husband passed on a year ago on the 15 of Ramadhan, that she never worked before even when she was an anak dara, that her daughter in law just gave birth to a baby girl on the 31st of August and that she made sure all her children 'kerja kerajaan' or marry someone who 'kerja kerajaan' because 'kerja kerajaan selamat sebab ada pencen'.

Now, I was previously 'kerja kerajaan' (semi-government actually but yeah the mentality and the works all scream 'kerajaan') but never, ever felt safe. Was it just a feeling? But then if it's safe, why is the aforementioned makcik has to work now (she's 56) when she has never worked before?

I've got nothing against employment, but can we stop thinking that other people (in this case the employer) is responsible with our life? Macam tak best je pikir camtu eh?

I Love Reading

I am reading to Ilham not just chidlren's books but also anything and everything I can get my hands on. Magazines, novels and motivational books that are lying around the house, whilst Amir will turn on the many audiobooks he stored in the laptop whenever he can. I don't know if this is the correct way but I do hope this practice will instill a love for reading in the boy. I tend to baby talk with him, that's why I counter that with reading books heheh. Nanti anak aku cakap pelat plak.

By the way, Ilham calls for 'Mek' when he cries. Aku dok ajar dia sebut 'Mama' dan 'Ayah', dia boleh sebut 'Mek'.

Our Perfect Inspiration

Most of you have seen him or pictures of him. Sara and Taza..this is mainly for your viewing hehehe. Ilham pre and post shaving...

Tak Bleh Tunggu

I can't wait to go out again and see the world..and pick fights with the world, and win and lose and make peace with the world and be oblivious of the world and curse the world and sing praises to the world and stare in absolute amazement to the world's many miracles and stupidities.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!

Tak Tahan Menanggung

AKU NAK KELUAR DARI SINI...AKU DAH TAK TAHAN...KENAPA MESTI TUNGGU 40 HARI???? HA??? KENAPA???

I Am Clueless

We welcome Muhammad Ilham on 20092008 at 8.25am. Words just can't describe our feelings. Mothers out there, you know what I'm talking about.

But then I can't help but feeling helpless sometimes. Ilham is obviously a cryer, if there's such a term. Amir says to enjoy every moment with him and I am. Just sometimes I wonder what he really wants heheh.

Anyway no worries, this mother thing is so new that there's always room for improvement. One thing for sure, I'm going to give the very best to my baby boy.

To Ilham, years to come when you read this, don't get mama wr0ng.. I l0ve y0u with all my heart and my life. H0w can I n0t l0ve y0u especially when y0u make that 'muka tak bersalah' 0f y0urs..heheh..MUAHHHHHHH

Just A Few More Days

Do pray for us.

Fixing Me...

A wise man keeps telling me that I should not look for how good a bitching one can do when looking for friends. A circle of friends should encourage, motivate and inspire each other to do good. Bitching about other bitches or your spouses, bosses, the neighbours and their cats, those sorry bastards of men, or the government will not do.

Of which almost everybody know it won’t. But we still keep at it. Because is so finger licking good! It makes us feel like we are the gods and the goddesses who are perfect in every way and that those that we bitched are mere mortal who are way below our stations.

It all boils down to instant gratification. Talking bad about someone feels good on the surface but it still does not solve anything. The problem lingers. And when I look in the mirror the problem is staring back at me, puffy eyed and all. (dan aku perasan orang yg mcm baik2 ni yg suka buat kerja ni, yg ala2 pompuan melayu terakhir- aku cakap pasal aku tu muahahaha)

It has existed as long as I remember. And it will take a very long time to fix. But I do want to fix it. I know it’s fixable. I’ll start by thinking good things about others.

Jom sama-sama!

Ha yang ni memang cannot be fixed…

Flu Clue

Belasah je tajuk tu. Dah dekat-dekat ni dapat lelehen hingusan dan kehangatan muka pulak. Dugaan betul. Dugaan juga sebab tak dapat puasa seperti yang dicita-citakan. Cabaran untuk menggantinya pula.

Pergi ke Tangkak untuk bertemu kawan Hajah yang meriah orangnya. Singgah rumah sepupu Amir yang tak kurang meriah juga. Alhamdulillah dapat makan yang sangat meriah bersama-sama anak buah yang sama usia dengan kami. Heheh..Ada cucu dah aku..sorang cucu menegur 'kebesaran" perut aku. 'Eh eh besarnya" dengan mata bulat. Hahaha kelakar. Umur baru 5-6 tahun kot.

Meriah memang meriah.

Sekarang sedang aktif mencari rendang, ketupat, lemang, lontong. Pendek kata makanan masa Raya. Nak pulun siap-siap.

Selamat, selamat semuanya...

The Blue View

The sight of a thick book excites me. For me the thicker the better. It means there are a lot more words I need to learn and digest. Yes, people are entitled to several weirdness in their life. This is one of mine.

At the moment I'm reading Sherlock Holmes, the complete stories. I got goose bumps just thinking about it hahahah. Hope I will be able to finish it before I go into labour, which is at the end of the month. Still got time kan?

I wish I have these blue people's creativities...
