1/11 or 1/1??

Met my future boss in KL and he was asking me again and again.. "What's holding you?" It was hard for me to answer his question as BB over here is not releasing me..yet. Susahla camni beb. Given a choice, I'd like to start on 1/1.. sebabnya aku taknak la burn kan tiket flight nak pegi Yantie nye wedding!! Hahaha tu je reason dia. If I hv to be there on 1/11, cam tak logikla coz dah semput sangat..today is oledi 9/10.. and on 1/11 we are still on raya hols.. kalau 1/12 lak..burn tiket..rugi.. so I guess the best date would be 1/1. Start new year with new company, new boss, new place (?) and new job.. Just remembered that my nazar is sekor kambing if I get to transfer by this year and another one if I get a place in Kerth.. well, seems that we will have a kambing party on Raya haji this year? Yeahh.. too bad I hate lamb, nevermind, can always include something else in the menu later..

KL trip was good. Ilham was enjoying himself throughout the 4 day trip. During the 2 hr flight, he slept a little, played a little, had juice, cookies, read his book, tear up the pages of the inflight magazine and imitating the sound of someone behind us puking :-) He was also okay during the whole day in mama's care. slept at 1 am , playing with Teh & becik and woke up at 12 noon! Budak kecik apa tido time cam tu? I didn't do any major damage to my credit cards/ bank account, so that's one hell of an achievement for someone uncontrollable like me..

The only major setback during the trip was the hotel. Sucks gile service, esp the laundry bag part! Tell me, which hotel CHARGE their guests for requesting extra laundry bag???llo... u dont expect me to use only ONE laundry bag kalau stay sampai 4,5 days, okay? I've been to the 'posh-er' ones and tak penah pulak kena cam tu. Kalau kedekut sangat, provide the plastic ones..which they dont have oso... iskk.. fail ..fail.. if not becoz of the location, I dun think I will stay there ever, again. Or maybe next time kalau nak stay situ, kena bawak plastic bag sendiri banyak2..

KL Short Trip

Pocoyo wannabe vs the real pocoyo :)

Ilham & I will be leaving for KL tomorrow, leaving Uzey alone, again. My plan for tomolo, ask mama & teh to wait for us at KL $entral, check in at Im*piana, bukak puasa & wait for abah there. I've read so many bad reviews about that hotel, but that's the only one nearest to KLsisi. I wanna go back during long lunch break on Friday, and I dont hv the heart to stay at MO, malas nak menjawab kalau claim banyak sangat, their rate is so damn expensive! After much contemplating between Nik*ko, Impi*ana, MO, Konkod & H*ilton, I've confirmed my booking at Imp, coz of its location. Siaple kalau service sux, aku komplen banyak2 nanti. Afterall, that's the easiest place for me to go to work Friday morning.. We'll traveling back with one colleague of mine on sunday, so that I have someone else to chase Ilham for me hehe. Hopefully si pokoyo ni tak buat perangai during the 2 hrs flight..

~over & out balik masak utk berbuka

kwik update on the journey
Ilham was such a good boy during the 2 hr journey. reached hotel at 8.15pm. bad decision by staying there, but it's oledi too late..
will update again soon..
miss u Uzey!

Lauk Berbuka For Today

Went to the Tamu last weekend and snapped this pix. Shud have captured in video instead, so baru la bleh nampak ulat2 sagu ni dok menggeliat dalam bakul masing2. It's for sale, 3 ekor singgit. I think if you buy the whole clan, you can get it cheaper.

On our way back, some mangoes captured my attention. Tapi satu timbun RM3 sekilo, next to it, setimbun lagi, RM4 sekilo. So our conversation goes like dis

Aku: Eh ni kenapa harga lain
Makcik : Ni mango, ni mangga (pointing to the timbun)

Wtf???

Alhamdulillah

My wish has finally come true. My paper is cleared, everything is okay, and approval from the VP has been received. What more can I ask for? Cukup dah. I'm so happy rite now, takleh nak describe dah. Hope things will go smoothly after this.. I'm sure banyak lagi obstacles ni, with my current boss yang tak berapa nak ikhlas ni, iskk... As Sue said, this is the best bday gift ever! Memang pun.. rasa nak melompat ni beb...

A'ways, ni lah rupa brownie yang tak macam brownie. Apparently my brownie is soft and fluffy, so konfem la bukan brownie. Boleh ke aku buat brownie tapi jadi kek? Muahaha.. I'm such a loser when it comes to baking! Nasib baik it tastes good, even Ilham loves it! Note to self: Misti beli vanilla ice cream tonite, baru best. Ilham was 'helping' me in the kitchen while I was baking, but he was afraid of hand-mixer! So I had to carry him while mixing the egg+sugar, that's why brownie ni tak menjadi.. muahaha.. excuse, excuses..

I'm so happy today.. lalalalallaa

~over and out bersyukur kepada Tuhan

"So Is Everyone Else"

This one line remark made me cry for almost 20 minutes in the isolated PC lab. To summarize the whole thing, I'm so unlucky to have a heartless, rude, inconsiderate, selfish, annoying bastard to be my boss.
Full stop.

I Miss Ilham..

Uzey drove me to work today, since Ilham woke up very early. As usual, my baby had so much fun sitting in his carseat and watched the world go by, he even hummed few songs and blabbering to himself.

But.. when we reached my office, I gave him a kiss, stepped out of the car and waved to him, his expression changed drastically. No more that cheerful baby singing to himself, he looked so sad, I felt like crying myself. His eyes were fixed on me until Uzey reversed the car and left.


Ilham, I'm sorry I have to leave you. Believe me, I do this for you, for us.. I would trade anything in the world just to be with you.. but I can't. So for the few hours I'm gone, Papa will tak great care of you.. and I'll be home soon!!

Mama loves you so much..

Ilham's Idol

Here's a pix of Ilham with his friends. I don't hv the mood to write anything today, sakit mulut, this big ulcer in my mouth is killing me! Lepas gigi, ulser pulak.. arghh! Oh, we've got our raya tickets. Can't wait to go home!

Happy Ramadhan

I've left my blog idle for few days, due to the stupid rotten tooth that got extracted on Saturday and has made my life miserable since then. Thank God it's okay now and my life is back to normal.

Ilham has a new hobby. He likes playground so much I thought of having one in our own backyard..perghh..macam banyak duit je. But seriously, if were rich, I would buy all those Little Tike$ punye stuff and let him play sampai tido. We went to KFC and he had fun playing on the slides, and when Uzey took him to the palyground while waiting for me at the dentist, Uzey SMSed me and said "Ilham lupa diri".. seriously I can imagine how he was overjoyed being at the playground.

On the other hand, it's 3rd day of Puasa month. This is our 3rd ramadhan here in BTU, and as usual, it sucks. I mean not la the puasa sucks, but we miss all the glorious food we can have back at home!!!

Our fate is going to be determined tomorrow. I know it's all written in qada' and qadar, but I'm praying that we'll get the green light and we'll be outta here by January..aminn...

~over & out solat Zohor

At 15 months..

This is Ilham's favourite pastime activity.. cleaning his toys with that little broom. Am I raising a cleanliness freak? Or this is okay? Well, I think this is fine, just hope that he won't turn out to be like Monk :o One thing for sure is that li'l broom can distract him anytime! Li'l broom saves the day!

Being a cheerful toddler he is, he is not afraid of strangers, but Ilham is afraid of vacuum cleaner, lawn mower & lori simen. There was a butterfly in the house last nite, he was fascinated by it. Wanted to follow the b'fly, but was afraid to venture alone, so he asked me to carry him around to chase that thing. If he is afraid of butterfly, cemana nak bawak gi zoo?

His A..B..C.. is improving now, sounds clearer. Everytime I sing baa..baa.. black sheep.. he will try to imitate.. but only the baa.. baa.. part and followed by shhh.... so his song will be "baa..baa... beh..shhh.."

His appetite is also improving. He can finish a small tub of yoghurt now, compared to before where he only eats a spoonful or two.. and he can also finish a jar of blended rice now in the afternoon, provided I don't come home during lunch break. The only thing that we still need him to do is to drink formula while he is awake! While he sleeps he can drink maximum 6 oz of formula, but he will kick the bottle if he is awake. I really want him to be able to drink formula anytime during the day, so that he won't be 'attacking' me at nite :-)

Well, here's to many many months and years to come for my darling Ilham!

~over & out attending meeting...

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Picture of Ilham & his Aki taken at the golf resort where we stayed for a nite last weekend.

And there goes another weekend.. how time flies. Kejap je and it's almost October. Can we skip November & December? So that we go straight to January and by then we all are back at home.

Went to Miri again, this time with papa & ayim. We departed late Saturday afternoon and went straight to the resort. Went out to had dinner and I was such a good girl for not buying anything eventhough Au$$ino ada stock clearance, sebabnya, I left my wallet at home! Menyesal nya aku tertinggal menda tu, next time, I won't leave home without my plastic money. But on the other hand, it did me good for not spending on the unnecessary..

Oh and I guess I shud write to MD of Coff33 Bean & Tea leaf mesia sebabnya, ultimate mocha at their Miri branch doesn't taste like ultimate mocha at all! Korang tipu ingredients, eh? Ceh.. and I paid 12 bucks just for a taste of plain ice blended.. tak altimet langsunG!

Left Miri around 3 pm and was home by 5 pm. Last nite I prepared kurma ayam but everyone was still full, so I made sushi instead and keep the kurma for today's lunch. I feel bad when papa is home and I hv to come to work. And I've a meeting at 7.30 pm tonite!!! WTF???? Why laaa kena buat meeting when I have guests... tssk..tskk...

Called the travel agent just now to re-route our flight, instead of arriving in KBR, we will arrive at TGG. So that we can be in Kert for few days before raya to help with Mimi's wedding preps. After that, balik raya TM and eve of 1st raya must return to Kert. Pengsan beb. I'll never ever plan for a wedding during raya time! Bleh mati cam ni..

Ilham is enjoying every minutes of his time, since ada company at home. And he shows an instant liking to his aki. After all, he'll be spending most of his time with Aki later, when we move to Kert, I'll drop him at papa's place before going to work.

Bosan & bosan & bosan. Hafta finish few things by today

~over & out

slow updates

As predicted by Uzey, impossible for us to leave by November. So there goes my angan2 to go back for good during raya break. Hopefully betulla bleh blah by January, if not..sigh.. tak tau nak maki sape.. :(

I've been outta office for the last few days, discovering my true self la kononnya by attending the leadership program. What leader? Who? Leader? Me? yeaahh rite.. but it was fun to got to know myself, though i'm sure I still have a long way to go to be a real one.

Few months back I dicovered that I'm a dominant leader, in my kuku besi style. And I knew now that I'm a balanced choleric-melancholic-phlegmatic person, which explains why I'm a bossy, to-do-list freak, friendly(?) and indecisive person. And at the same time, I'm an introvert-judger-feeler-sensor person. That's quite complicated for someone plain and simple like me, but what de heck , dah itu result dia. I guess now I've gotta be cautious on the way I treat my subord, kesian derang dapat aku jadik bos. Plus the fact that I can be loud, direct, sarcastic and MANIC when I'm at my worst, I'm making their life hell. Wtf, let me outta here and I make them happy hehehe

Ilham's not so well these few days. Guess he's tired, tetiba dapat flu. Luckily Uzey gave him the medication early so it's not getting worse. Looking fwd for Papa's and ayim's visit, they are arriving tomorrow with my keropok lekor, woohoo.. we're planning to drive to Miri again this weekend, tapi cam bosan je.. nothing interesting to do there, unless we wanna go and visit tempat2 bersejarah, which is definitely not my cup of tea! Bonus is coming in soon, so that's one thing that makes me one happy satisfied thankful lady!!

KK Trip

Our journey started at 0615 hrs on Friday morning. Ilham slept all the way until reached Miri at 0830 hrs and went to the airport earlier since we've never flew from Miri airport before. Ilham, as usual, was having fun walking around the airport and penat giler nak kejar dia. He actually went to this mat saleh couple who were eating ice cream and senyum2 kat couple tu, hoping that they will offer him kot.. and he actually said 'Bye!' and waved his hand when I went to get him out of their way. The flight was smooth, and short! Ilham only managed to catch a 30 mins nap and opened his eyes the moment we landed at KK airport. My parents and bro arrived almost 3 hrs earlier than us, so they checked in to the hotel first. We were so excited, and it was a surprise to see that the hotel was located right infront of the market area, which was my mom's only target. I knew she will be really happy about it. When I was there 3 years ago, I don't remember seeing any building at the Meridien's location. And the room, my goodness! It was double the size of Meridien KL's deluxe! I was imagining that the room is as small, but it turned out that 10 adults pun boleh muat in that room! and plus the fact that our room faces the main road, the waterfront, and we can actually see the swimming pool from upstairs. The RM500+ for 2 nites that we spent was worth it, coz the look on my parents face were priceless, esp mama who actually made SIX trips to the market to buy lots and lots of souvenirs! Food was ample, and fresh some more. Uzey & Imi went island hopping & snorkelling the next day, I only managed to go to the market once after they came back. Got myself a nice pink pearl pendant and black pearl bracelet and they were dirt cheap.The only thing that spoilt the vacation was the AA terminal 2, which was terrible! Bangang betul when the check in counter is next to a construction area, dusty, hot, crowded place. Dahle ramai orang in the departure hall. But again, for RM4.99 tickets, I should not complain much, should I?

Reached Miri at 12 noon, had lunch at my father's friend place and reached home at 4 pm. Perjalanan yang memuaskan, tapi lain kali tak nak pegi lagi ah. I had enuff of KK. So, next destination is Hanoi, insyaAllah..

Blank

Spent the entire lunch hour browsing Ikea's 2007 online catalogue . How I wish I have tonnes of $$ so that I can buy everything I like. Tiap2 kali tak balik rumah during lunch, I feel like time stops moving. 1 hour seems too long.

We are fasting today, so I'm planning to cook prawn olio, got a simple recipe for it, and I hope it will turn out to be better that what we had at PiZZ^ hut last week.

I've so many things in my mind rite now, especially since I knew that I'm leaving soon. 1st Nov seems too near, dah le masa tu only few days after raya, and Mimi's wedding some more. So I guess we hafta revise oru plan etc etc. and be prepared to face a chaos, esp during moving time!

lapar..lapar...

~ over & out

Syukur Alhamdulillah!!!

I'm so happy rite now I feel like crying!!! If things go well, I'm reporting back to Kertih on 1st November 2006!!!!! Yaaaahhooooooooooooooooo!!!

Surprises! Surprises!

Ilham surprised me last 2 nites. He was playing in the kitchen, when I called his name, he came out and brought a piece of wipecloth and suddenly he started wiping his play gym!!!! Only then Uzey told me that he saw Uzey wiping the food he spilled on the floor earlier. Lepas tu, terus imitate. That was not the first time. Few days back, I saw him wiping the floor, Oshin-style. Sampai tertonggeng-tonggeng. And the other day when I said "Bye!" he actually said bye while waving his hands. Tapi after that, suruh repeat dah tak mau. So I guess, after Mama, Papa, boo, ABC.. bye is his next word.

We have been giving orders to him lately. "Ilham, nak remote.." there he comes with the remote control.. "Ilham, nak handphone"... cepat2 cari and bring to us.. he now can bring us pampers, book, air, seluar.. I guess it won't be long before he can start to bring us drinks, magazine, etc etc.. hehe buli anak..

Every morning b4 I leave for work, I'll open the door just to catch a glimpse on dua anak beranak tu. And most of the time, Ilham sleeps close to Uzey, as in almost hugging him. There were times, he slept right under Uzey's ketiak.. few times on Uzey's chest.. and one time on Uzey's arm. I'm sure he'll miss those moments once Ilham grows up/Uzey has to wake up earlier to get ready to work..

On other note, my EDC paper is being prepared. The status is almost okay, hope things will go smoothly and I can start planning my future in Kert as soon as possible!

The Doughnut Story

Ilham woke up EARLY on Sunday, and when I say early.. it's wayyy toooo early by my standard. 6.45 am beb!!! Hari ini dalam sejarah betulla... but since he woke up crying but didnt wanna open his eyes, I opened all windows, doors and told him, dah pagi tau.. I guess dia cam mengingau and still ingat malam. It's the first time in.. er.. I guess.. 2 years kot.. I woke up THAT early during a weekend.
I left him to play with Uzey and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. And since I've planned to make doughnuts, I prepared the doh as well. It's actually my 3rd time preparing it My first attempt when I was few months pregnant, I threw away everything! Sebabnya doh tak naik hahaha. Sebab apa doh tak naik? Sebab masa tengah sukat gandum tu tetiba gandum tak cukup and terpaksa suruh Uzey pegi kedai and beli gandum.. So the 'intermitten' tu lah agaknya yang menspoilkan doh tu.. But before I threw it away, I actually went outside and put the bowl under the hot sun, dengan harapan doh tu akan naik gak.. but.. hehe jadi kuih pau ade lah.. When I was home dekat2 nak beranak, I saw Mama making it, so few months after that, I tried again, during last CNY break. And I finally made it!! Keskeskes ..But this time.. my third attempt.. it turned out to be quite 'doughy'.. (ada ke word ni Puan Sub Editor/ Cik English teacher?)
Okay, enuff bout doughnut. Just received a notification from AA this morning that they are retiming our flight to 12.15 pm instead of the original 8 am. Sukati mak bapak dia je nak retime2 flight cam tu? Iskk... But I guess I shud not komplen too much memandangkan kitorang beli tiket RM4.99 je hehe.. But hey! Tax mahal jugak !!
Whatever it is, I hope this week nobody will spoil my cuti mood. Though I'm damn sure that SoB will!!!

~over and out ..

7 Days..

This Craig David song was on Cat$ FM this morning. I actually tune in to this particular FM every morning while driving to work, coz of the good selection of songs by the morning DJs. But after 9 am, don't ever tune in to it! Boleh muntah dengar bahasa orang *ban and what not.

7 days.. to our 3rd wedding anniversary. Dah 3 years eh? How time does fly.. 3 years of meaningful journey, from Kertih to BTU and back to Kertih (soon!), pre-Ilham & post-Ilham... cheers to a grreat 3 years and more to come!

Spent the free cuti waking up late. Wanted to fast but changed my mind at 11 am coz lapar gila and I forced Uzey to buka pose as well so we can eat lunch together gether. Went out & bought Ilham a new pair of shoes. Masa kat kedai tu, everytime suruh dia test the shoes misti jalan pusing satu kedai and buat muka konfiden lak tu as if cam kasut tu dah memang dia punya. Took him to the beach in the evening, he had fun walking all over the place but when he suddenly noticed that ada budak tengah main air laut yang kaler longkang tu, he pratically run to the shore! Iskk.. dont la main air laut kat sini, tak best langsung! Had guests at nite, cooked macaroni + ciken soup though my initial plan was to cook Uzey's faveret kurma.

Am fasting today, hopefully can survive :) but before that, I need to curse that SoB first. Celaka punya orang tua, ko langsung tak tau ape benda ko kena buat eh? Tetiba nak main pass2 kat orang suka ati mak bapak kau je. Ko memang celaka go to hell, I cant wait to leave this place! Aku tak sanggup beb keje ngan orang cam kau lagi.. ^&#^$^&@@*!!!!!!


Cepatlaaa weekend...

Aiiiiyyy..Biii.... Chiii....

That's ABC for Ilham. Tak lepas lagi D. But karaokela kot, considering he doesnt read book, he eats book.

My fat a$$ is not going anywhere today, as I've gotta be on standby for that Technical Meeting. what technical meeting? Aku orang HR woii... and again the SoB cam biasa, lari dari tanggungjawab seorang manusia sbb 'being busy' attending training and in the end aku gak kena menjawab issue2 area dia kat meeting tu nanti. So I'm waiting for the dreaded phonecall , " Okay, please come to the meeting room now" Argghh menjawab la aku dengan GM Pl&nt nanti..Iskk..iskk..

Latest news yang aku tak caya gak.. I've been given the permission to leave latest by December. Owhh really? Yeaahhh ritee... tak caya aku. Why izit so hard for these people to decide? Dahla tetiba BB mentioned sumthing about me transferred to Pett pulak. Pulak??? Konfius + sakit jiwa beb.

Uzey is still fasting. Dah more than 1 week oledi. Aku? Baru sehari hehe. Horer ah pemalas nak mampus.

I've taken Ilham out to play with anak2 of the only neighbour Islam ku twice oledi. And he likes it so much. Seems that he is having fun berjalan kesana kemari, bukannya dia interested pun nak main ngan budak2 tu, after all many of them are girls, and besar dari dia..

Update: Back from the meeting and cursing the SoB ..again! Buduhh nak mampos... now I've got to wipe the shit he made. ~maki hamun over and out

Life Is 'Izy' With Direction

So, for Ilham. his life is quite easy now, sbb dah paham sepatah dua direction. Such as

"mana air Ilham" ---> bergegas sepantas kilat ambik botol Barney & terus minum sampai terbatuk2 and right after that.. gedegang! campak botol anywhere yang disukai

"where's your boo" ---> jalan senget2 utk pegi pick up his ball and pretend to kick as hard

"sape hencem?" ---> disudahi dengan jawapan "Paaa paa!!" sometimes he just whispers2 just like Mr Brown

"ABC ilham mana?" --> followed by "Aaaiiiyy.. biii...ishh..ishh..." while flipping through the pages and after 2 seconds will start biting the book itself

and the last command, "NO, Ilham" will be followed by
- campak toys kuar rumah thru the window
- masuk/celup2 kaki dalam jamban
- bukak pintu cabinet and sepahkan barang/ baju
- buat muka busuk
- buang nasik merata2
- and the list goes on and on....


Thursday is a holiday, and next Friday is a holiday as well! Can't wait for our KK trip...

I Love My Job..yeaahhh rite...

Spent the whole morning having meeting in the plant. I mean, in a meeting room in plant area, notla in the boiler or steamer or sumthing. It was so hot and the stench was unbearable. Respek betul those engineers and operators who have been working in that kind of environment. Not for me, saya suka aircond.. hehehe .

Here's a pic courtesy of our own intranet. I'm actually quite proud to be working here, it's just that..umm.. its location tu tak kena. Kalaulaaaa plant ni kat Kertih, I'll stay even for the next 20 years!

I know my size is quite small for an engineer, tapi mama kata okay. So I borrowed mama's jacket and helmet and tried to pretend I'm in the plant.

Sunset in Redang

Love who you are.

Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say
"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"

"Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen."
"To the world you might be one person,
but to one person you just might be the world".

Say No To Promenade

I've been sitting on my fat a$$ without doing anything berfaedah for the last 3 days.

Just confirmed the arrangement of our accommodation. I had earlier booked a room in Promenade Hotel, but I changed my mind AFTER confirmation coz the stoopid receptionist was so damn rude. I've been doing my bookings at many other hotels with more stars, but only in Promenade they asked for the 3 digit number at the back of your credit card "just to secure the room". What a stupid reason. Helloo.. with that 3 digit numbers, senang2 je orang bleh copy and make purchases online. I don't wanna have more nightmares. Bill yang tak setel2 lagi ni pun dah cukup sengsara hehehe. The receptionist was not only rude during requesting my details, she didn't even say Thanks after it's confirmed. So dengan perasaan tak puas ati with the zero star service, I decided to book Le Meridien instead. Yes, it's more expensive, but what the heck, asalkan aku puas ati. Even with government rate, as I used Abah's name, it's still RM100 plus higher. Never mind, as long as it's near to the Filipino market etc, that's what matters most to my mom :). I plan not to shop again. This is actually just a trip to accompany my parents who have never been there. Though I'm still looking for a good seafood place. The one near the jetty what we went last time was too far away. with Ilham in tow, takde sapa nak pegi. Oh, Ilham is 200 gram heavier now. After 2 months, naik 200 gram je? Aiyoo.. He is now weighs at 8.6 kg tapi beratnya rasa cam 10 kg dah.

Can't wait for the trip, and can't wait to receive the transfer letter. Where's my letter, demmit!

~over and out.

Ilham just wanna wish...

Happy Birthday Mak Enn! We love you!!!

Ilham's World Part II- The Real Thing

For me, the real thing will happen only after receiving the transfer letter. As of now, life goes on. But once we return to the place we call home, we can proudly say that WE SURVIVED LIFE IN BTU!!! Yeaahaa..!!

As for Ilham, everything seems so real to him. Elmo macam real, Barney macam real.. tiap2 hari main keta Cars tu pun cam real. His routine now is

0800 hrs: Nangis sikit, wake up, scan the room, tak nampak Mama..okay..golek2 and tido sebelah Papa

1030 hrs: Bukak mata, nangis kalau panas, make sure Papa on aircond, tido balik, kentut2 and golek2

1100 hrs: Sepak2 Papa kalau Papa tido lagi, bangun, play with toys, pusing2 di sekeliling bilik sampai Papa ajak mandi

1130 hrs: After bath, siap2 and turun bawah. While Papa is reheating nasik dalam microwave, minum vitamin perasa oren..yummyy.. and makan nasik

1200 hrs: Panjat sofa, bergayut kat grill tingkap, tunggu Mama balik for lunch

1220 hrs: Mama sampai, minum susu, watch Elmo's World

1300 hrs: Mama pegi keje balik, Ilham masuk buai, Papa sumbat formula hahaha

1430 hrs: Papa baaaru nak tido, Ilham wakes up and demands attention. So play with Papa, baca buku ABC and watch Playhouse Disney.

1700 hrs: Right after Barney, panjat sofa, gayut lagi. It's about time for mama to arrive

1720 hrs: Susu lagi. Main kejap and naik atas. Mandi, play, play, jalan mundar mandir

2300 hrs: Lights out. Sume orang tido. Ilham pun tido...

HellO!!!!!

Untuk tatapan Pok Ngoh, Pok Chik, Pok Teh, Pok Su, TokBah & Nenek;

gigi Ilham dah ada 7!!!! (tapi Ilham malas gosok gigi.. hahaha!!!)

Ilham's World

I've been very busy for the past 2 weeks I don't have to sit down and write about my baby's progress. I made some mental notes, tapi notes tu pun lupa gak. Iskh..

Anyways, Ilham has mastered his walking skills. Infact he walks all over the house, only at times when I observe him, he actually forgets that he know how to walk, he crawls. Then, after few seconds, he realizes that he CAN WALK, he stands up and walk! Sometimes jalan cam Frankestein pun ada, cam nenek kebayan pun ada. There were times he jalan mengiring as in ke tepi left and right. Lawak betul.

I'm taking him out for dinner tonite. Yes, dinner. It's actually a meeting dinner with our new MD, but I dont have the heart to leave him @home, so I'm taking him. Lantak la apa org nak cakap, I've got the permission from BB oledi.

Bought AA tickets for Papa & Ayim. They are coming to visit us mid Sept. Good deal, I would say, sebab tickets tu buy 1 free 1. Tapi yang mahal, tax pulak. But what de heck asalkan ada seat yang free tu, rite?

We've confirmed ambik GE for Ilham's education fund. It looks okay. But we are paying yearly, saves us around RM100 per year, lepas dah tolak2 segala fees and charges tu.

Ilham has started to like biscuits. Before this he refused all sorts of rusks, he eats only Famous Amo$ cookies, now when I offer him Oreo, he can actually finish half piece, so kira okayla tu kan, adala improvement. And he likes his biskut tiger as well. I'm happy with his new development, meaning lepas ni I can start to give him menda yang keras2 sket lah, if not makan bubur pun choking, or in his case, force to choke himself!

I've not informed my subordinate that he will taking over my job, provided he performs well. Cam susah je nak ajar orang tua. I've actually dah banyak bersabar with him but I NEED TO LEAVE, so nak tak nak kena gak ajar that SO of mine so that he can be my successor.

Bosan, bosan, and bosan. The SoB sama jugak la perangai. Bodoh & sombong.. hahaha what a description.

I'm going home now to my baby and my hubby. ~

Nenek + Ilham

Pic taken during Mama's last trip to Btu in May. I'm counting the days for us to be reunited in KK next Sept. Can't wait to meet my parents, and I know how much they are looking forward to this trip, they' just can't wait to finally see Ilham walking!!

Let There Be Love

Pic of my favourite guys taken at Miri Marriott few months back.... when we get back to Kertih, I hope I can take Ilham swimming as often as he likes. Cepat lah January!!!!!

Dreams DO come true!!!!

We're moving back to Kertih!!!!! InsyaAllah kalau takde pape and kalau takde orang yang berhati busuk , we'll be back by January!!!
Yahuuuuuu!!!!!!!

Breaking News For Today!!!!

I've been offered a position in Kertih!!!! But... wait.. there's a but.....

BUT...

I must get the approval from SoB and BB... and I doubt they will let me go!!!!

Ya Allah, please ... please.... let them let me go.....

Wakey Wakey!

So hard to wake up early today, I ended up sleeping until 8.04 am. Can somebody tell me what time my office starts? Haha tepat sekali!! It's at 7.30 am!!!! Patutla ada orang nak DI aku muehehe. After 2 days of waking up at 11.55 am and 10.20 am consecutively, it took me ages to convince myself that today is Monday!!

Cooked mee curry last nite. Uzey was walloping it like there's no tomorrow. The last time I cooked it was when I was still preggie. I know how much Uzey likes it coz arwah Mama always cooked it, and even sent some to me before we got married.

Ilham has recovered from his fever, and the red spots have spread jadi tompok2 pulak. Mula2 Ilham Si Bintik, then Ilham Si Tompok. By Sunday, it was 70% gone. We went to the Paed on Saturday afternoon to check on his coughing and phlegm. And as usual he had to take a session of Nebulizer. He cried like a small baby, oh he IS a small baby, rite? But maybe dah lama sangat tak kena Neb tu so that's why he was furious.

He is still having a bad cough. Sampai terduduk2. Kesiannn... hope he will get better soon!!

Nothing much happened during the weekend. Still counting the days, when are they going to let me go????

Here Comes The Weekend!!

There's so many things I'd like to write about. But I dun think I hv enuff time to yak, I'll just hv quick notes for these

1. Ilham is getting better. Though he still have diarrhea. Woke up at 1.48 am and cried before ending up soiling his nappy. I was quite worried coz his poopoo is green/blackish in colour. And OMG, he has red dots all over his body! When we asked the Paed last nite, he said, that's normal for 3 days babies to have the dots to after they just recover from fever. How true is that? No, I'm not saying the Paed lied, tapi sajalah, benefits of the the doubt.. So I'm still surfing the net to find the real satisfying answer.

2. Blogging is a national issue. Wtf? I mean like, blogging is NOT a crime!! I just think it's just an addiction :-) As for me, I've been reading blogs since January 2004, and still am. Until recently I finally managed to have the courage to start my own. For the last 2 years plus, I've never came across blogs yang plot for murder, kidnapping, bombing and so on. Most are just sharing their experiences and I could say that it enriches my life to read other peoples experience. Let them say whatever they want lah.. As for me, I'm not in favour of blogging bout national issues. I just wanna talk bout my life. So that when the time comes, I can always reflect and look back, how far I've come and how good I've become.

3. New baby in the family! My cousin R*by has just delivered a baby boy at 8.40 am this morning! Now Ilham has a sparring partner haha! Delivered by the same gynae who assisted me.. my father's cousin.

4. Weekend is here! Humm.. what's the menu fo weekend? Last nite I cooked daging msk merah for dinner. I plan to cook black pepper beef strips for tonite. Let's see.. We have a small pumpkin in the kitchen, I might prepare pumpkin custard , but ..err I dun think I will coz Uzey doesnt like it. Then what else? Spaghetti? Boooriing...

5. The war in my office between me & the SoB. Just received a text message from BB. It says " U mean between U and JT? Don't worry we'll sort is asap, just stay cool." Haha serves u right SoB!!! I am now in the winning team! I've made my alliance with sooo many people. So u kiss my a$$ okay?!?!? Can't wait for BB to come back!

~over and out.. I'm off to a great weekend!~

I don't hate my job, I just hate my BOSS.. :p

Hate Your Job? 10 Ways to CopeBy Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com

Having a job you just hate is never an easy thing to deal with, but sometimes you just need to grin and bear it until another good opportunity comes along. Whether you're currently stuck because you just have to pay the bills or are holding out for the next great job, here are some things you can do to help you get through the day.

1. Set weekly goals for yourself. Sometimes it is easier to get through the day when you can keep your eye on the prize. Even if you hate your job now, there is something out there that will make you happy. Make weekly goals to help you find that golden opportunity. One week you might strive to send out five resumes or attend one networking event. Setting these goals will give you something to work towards.

2. Do one thing each day to help you reach your goals. You don't need to cross all your goals off your list every day, but you can chip away at it. When wake up, set a daily objective for yourself and make sure you achieve it. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and keep you feeling good about your progress.

3. Give yourself "me time" before work. Going into a job you hate will be worse if you get to the office feeling rushed, stressed and frazzled. Set aside some moments of solitude each morning. Develop a positive morning ritual. Treat yourself to a latte, get up early enough to read the paper, or just set your alarm to play upbeat music when you wake up. Improving your mornings can do wonders for your afternoons.

4. Create a diversion for yourself in the office. Does being in your office make you yearn for the outdoors? Are the incessant ringing phones driving you batty? Do something to brighten your mood while you're at work. Take in a tropical picture and use it as your screensaver. Buy yourself a "joke of the day" desk calendar. Plug headphones into your computer or bring your iPod to work. Go out for lunch.

5. Use your time to develop your skills. Hating your job doesn't mean you can't learn new skills. Use your time to make yourself a better candidate down the road. If your company offers training courses, take advantage of them. Use downtime to learn something new on your computer. Pick up a management development book and read it at lunch. Turn this job into an opportunity for self improvement.

6. Blow off some steam. Most people have an activity that helps them unwind and get rid of tension. Go for a run after work, go swimming on your lunch hour, or take a nice long walk. Put this time on your schedule so you will have something to look forward to every day.

7. Treat yourself. To make up for your office misery, find little ways of treating yourself. Buy a good book to read. Treat yourself to ice cream. Buy some flowers. Shop for a new interview suit. Plan your next vacation. Find out what makes you feel better inside, no matter what is going on outside.

8. Maintain your performance. It is important to continue to do your work and do it well, regardless of your current situation. Set personal performance goals. Then use the accomplishments in future interviews.

9. Keep your bridges intact. It really is a small world, and you never know when you will run into co-workers from your past. Don't burn any bridges at your company because you are unhappy. Maintain your contacts and keep your relationships on a positive note. You might just need a reference or a good word from one of your colleagues in the future.

10. Realize that this too shall pass. Right now, it might seem like you will be stuck in this job forever. Keep your chin up and remind yourself that you are in charge of your destiny. Search internal postings for new positions. Start your search for a new job externally.

By reading this email, everybody knows the SoB is an a$$hole. Kesiannya...

The SoB nak DI aku. Huahuhaua, who is he kidding? I'm sooo not guilty by not saving his a$$ I'm getting all the punishments? Not worth the trouble langsung. Thanks to him, the world is now a better place with a f*cker like that.

Dear Puan Nora,
Instruction for you to accompany SAINS representative was given by HR Manager himself (as communicated to you on 27 July 2006 ).
You at least MUST inform me ( before the meeting ) should you don't want to accompany them for whatever reasons, for me to find other staff as replacement. We have to unnecessarily s manage the consequences of the little mistake we made.
I am not pointing fingers to you or anybody but rather to take the above as lesson learnt for all of us that we SHOULD always follows our superior legal and official instruction (as whatever happened he / she will be accountable for it ). Insubordination and appropriate disciplinary action could be taken should we don't follow the instruction.
You have been on sick leave and emergency leave last Friday and yesterday of which I knew it from Cik B*bi and En H*sli Bujang respectively as you don't feel like to inform me though I am your Line supervisor.
I think it is not appropriate to accuse me of always pointing fingers at you , please.
Thank you

J*layhi Tani

Count Your Blessings!

Though work sux and people at work are giving me heart attack and rasing my BP and making me feel like $hit, but I am still blessed coz I can go home and have Ilham in my arms. Compared to the unfortunate mothers in the the other side of the world where their childrens are dead, killed by orang2 kafir laknatullah... I am still fortunate & blessed. Alhamdulillah.

Ilham...

Ilham,
mama took an EL yesterday coz I was worried about you. For the 2nd nights in a row, you woke up at 3 am and cried and tossed and turned and you were inconsolable. Mama and Papa were very sad to see you in that kind of condition sayang. I cried everytime you looked like you were in pain. How I wished I could take away your pain, sayang.. You only slept again at 7 am, and we took you to the Paed at 9.30am , you were given an antibiotic jab and you cried again. Your body temperature was fluctuating and all we could do was to try cheer you up, to reduce your body heat and to make you feel better.

I am so happy today that you finally managed to have a good interrupted sleep. And you are back to almost your jovial self by lunchtime today.

Thank God you answered my prayers.....

Why...

I suddenly feel relieved. Just like a heavy burden has been lift off my back. Don't know why, when I was driving home after lunch, I kept thinking of the weird dream I had lat nite, where I saw 2 corpses, err not even corpse, only the kafan and I saw like my aunt's P/jaya house and things like that in the dream. And the 'bad voice' in me keeps reminding that my parents are traveling home today from Put'jaya and I guess.. it makes me really worried and so many things came into my mind. Nauzubillah I do not want anything bad happening but nauzubillah, though I've scared and worried, and when I called both their handphones, couldn't get thru, and I don't have their driver's no.. I was becoming more worried!!! And when I called my dad's office to get the driver's hp no, nobody picked up the phone. Hellooo, I called the main line okay, and it's a government office AND it's Tuesday, their lunch hour is @ 1- 2pm but I've been calling the no from 2 pm sharp, until at 2.38pm baru ada orang angkat!!!! Abah, u shud do s'thing about it. It's tarnishing ur image as a corp. body...
I finally managed to get the driver's no, and when I called, ya Allah, my parents are at Ampang Jaya Police Sttn.. apparently they have been involved in a pile-up accident and my dad's car was the first in line. And their phones ran out of battery (as usual) Habis.. this is the 2nd time this month I guess. Baruuu je the other day a lady langgar the bumper. Aiyoo.. why lah... And suddenly I feel relieved. Coz Alhamdulillah my parents are okay and are not injured.. And I can think straight again..

And on the other note, I was told that my comment in the recent P*S survey was very obvious and it gives way.. Just by reading it people know it was me who wrote that. Kantoi beb. But okaylah, at least I was being honest. Am I gonna be punished coz of that? I hope the only kind of punishment I'll get is a transfer letter saying that I'm not needed here anymore. Aaaamminnnnnn....

Get well soon sayang...

Ilham is not well. He woke up at 3 am, and only slept again at 7 am this morning. His body was warm to the touch and he threw up while feeding. I am worried sick! It seems that the medication is not doing much to him. We had actually pay a visit to the Paed last nite and had new set of antobiotics, but I guess its not showing immediate effect.. Gosh, I am soooo sooo worried. With the condition in the office, and Ilham's not well, I can't concentrate on anything. I feel very miserable. I pray Ilham is gonna get better soon. And I mean SOON. I can't bear to see him miserable like that. I know he's not comfy and he feels lethargic and tired. I wish I could help him and take away his pain!

Get well soon sayang. Mama is praying fo yoU!!!

What DRIVES you?

I saw this question on Palm's website. Which got me into thinking, what drives me. Well, my answer is, my family. Coz my job sucks, my friends are far from here, only my family; Ilham, Uzey, and my parents & brothers, though they are far from here too, but they are all within reach. THEY DRIVE ME.

Ilham, apart from the usual 'Mamamama' during feeding time, he says 'Bu' when he plays with his colourful rubber balls. At first I didn't notice it, coz we always says "Ilham, get me the balls", or "Ilham, nak ball" etc but few times he said "Bu" when he looks around for his balls. So that was his second word.. And last week, when I said "Mama read book to you" then he says "Bup, bup" Well I guess that could be the third word in his repertoire of sounds. I notice that when he I return home, he always laugh and says "Go..Go" (as in GOD) so i guess that's his way of saying "Hi mama! I'm so happy you're back!"

What else did we do during the weekend?

DVD marathon. Finally managed to watch the DVDs we brought in KL. Cars, Ice Age 2, Click. Another one to go, Benchwarmers, we'll save for the next weekend (Note to self: Shud buy more DVDs next time, and don't but at BB, bad quality and more expensive. The ones bought by Izat in S'yang is much better in terms of price + quality)

Cooking. Been craving for it, so I cooked assam laksa and shared some wif friends. This is my 4th time cooking it and it gets better everytime. :p The first time ever was when we were still in Kert and arwah Mama's still alive. 2nd time was when I was few months preggie and had to have it so cooked like one big pot and shared wif frens as well, 3rd time was few months back, had some guests over our place. Woke up early Sunday morning to cook kari ikan to have with our instant roti canai, but only managed to sit down and have b'fast at 12 noon. Brunch la tu, coz uzey & Ilham woke up reallly late. Infact I had to force both of 'em to wake up!

Shopping for groceries & provisions. After 3rd trip barula rasa cam dah takde menda nak beli dah. Got the usual yogurt, milk, cookies, veggies, ikan + ayam, choccies and so many other things sampai tak muat fridge + food cabinet. Save us the hassle of going out during weekdays.

Sanitizing the whole house- Uzey did it, not me :p. But I helped putting the laundry in the washing machine. If I have enuff $$ I'd buy the washer+dryer so tak payah lagi my darling hubby bersusah payah sidai baju in the hot sun!

Visiting friends- just to fill time and to let Ilham meets other people, to let him learn social skills and make friends with other babies

Playing with Ilham. I thought him to kick balls. The rubber balls, I mean. But I WOULD teach me to kick balls when he's big enuff to do that haha but I'll only let him do that to the SB only. But, wait, shouldn't his dad teach him that? Mama has gone far, hasn't she?

Met the insurance agent. We have been scouting around for the best package for Ilham's edu. fund but so far only 2 have responded. Hope more will respond soon so that we can make up our mind fast and start investing for Ilham's future.

~over & out( for now)~

What the.....

Friday: Sick leave. When I woke up, I couldn't bring myself up. The world was spinning, my vision was blurry, my head was heavy and I felt dizzy.


Monday morning: I can't think properly at the moment.. There are so many things on my mind... I HATE HIM! The SoB drives me crazy! While I was on sick leave, he kept promising to people that they can get whatever they need from me, without informing or even asking me first, whether that can or can't be done. He is not in the office, attending some stoopid training that all of know will not benefit him or us at all. And leaving me with the big responsibilities. I pray that his plane will crash. Serious. I'll go that far. Coz thanks to him, my life is miserable. But, no, I'm not gonna allow it, coz he is too worthless to mess with my life.

So SB, u can go to hell. I'll deal with ya once u come back. And BB, sorry lah to bombard you this morning with questions, I didn't know IT'S 2 AM OVER THERE AND YOU ARE ON A FERRY FROM DOVER CROSSING ENGLISH CHANNEL TO PARIS. well, hope u'll have a great time. Come back soon, I'll have a session with ya as well. hahaha..

Of Work & Baby Rooms

Gotta finish so many pending items from the matters arising from yesterday's meeting. And again, the stoopid old man is pissing me off. Dahle join the meeting half way, masuk2 je terus ask stupid questions and cracked stupid jokes. I hate him to the core. Gosh, how can this kind of ppl exist? And I bet he didn't understand anything that we discussed about. Kalau paham, takkan la buat muka puzzled cam *toot* tu? Gosh, please please transfer this monkey out! Either he goes, or I LEAVE! Yeahh!! As if the Big Boss cares about it, kan? And Mr BB has been outta office since 20th and will only be back on 7th. Tell me how can I survive like this, one? I wish I have a boss like my friends, I've never heard they talk bad about theirs. Mine has never encouraged, supported, respected and even cared on what I do. He didn't even allow me to attend the assessment for my own progression! That explains how 'lucky' I am to have him as a boss.. Too bad he has a stubborn subordinate like me. You are trying to stop me? Go ahead. Gua pijak kepala lu beb.. HAHAHAHA

I should blog more about Ilham, hence the blogname. But I guess I'm too messed up @ work that I've got to pour everything outta my system. Then baru bleh citer pasal Ilham. His 7th tooth is almost out. Almost tu cam nak tak nak je penetrate his gum. No wonder la lately grumpy semacam. But, errmm kalau gigi ada 7, 4 atas, 3 bawah tu cam tak balance, kan? Hope the 8th one will come out soon. But my cousin Adam pun ada 7 only. Standard bilangan gigi bayi setahun lebih kot..

Read in a friend's blog on her comments of baby rooms in the shopping malls in KL/Selangor area. I've got my 2 cents' worth as well, having been to the major ones with Ilham, malls + airports, KLIA, Kuching airport, KB and LCCT.

KLCC: Isetan has a baby room, but there's only 1 small room and few changing tables. Ada mineral water tapi slalu out of stock. They should replenish the stocks, coz mothers do get thirsty while nursing okay. I've used Isetan's for many times, when I have meetings in PeTT and Ilham comes to visit during lunch hour. Infact, I can safely say that it's where I spend my lunchtime providing lunch to Ilham. Wanna invite me for lunch? Tunggu Ilham burp dulu :p. If I'm not mistaken, there's also one @ Motherc*re but I've never used it. But I've seen people going in and out of the room at the back of the store.
**Rating: 2 stars

OU: Jus*o has good ones. Complete with spring cot, normal cot, changing pads and individual room is provided with comfy sofa so that baby & mommy bleh melepak2 dulu before continue shopping.
**Rating: 4.5 stars

MidVlley: Again, I only use Jusc*'s. Comfy and easily accessible.
**Rating: 4.5 stars jugak

Ikea: There are 2 rooms, one close to Smaland and another next to the cafe, but quite small to my liking. There's one changing pad and table in each room, but more often that not, selfish parents don't use the rolled-paper provided to layer the pad, so banyakla poopoo yang tertinggal on the pad. Yucks! One good thing is they have foot stool so sangatla selesa sekali.
**Rating: 2.7 stars

KLIA: This one gets 4 stars from me. Very, very clean and comfy. The one and only annoying thing is the announcement, coz the ceiling is low and the speaker is too loud. Tak bagus untuk baby's hearing tau. Other than that, okay, they have baby cot, but the hot water pipe is always not working. I only use the one in the Departure hall, it's not occupied most of the time and Ilham has been a regular there, even managed to take naps when our transit is too long.
**Rating: 4.65 stars

LCCT: Wtf? They call it changing table tapi please lah it's not even a table, it's just like what you get in the aircraft's toilet. Infact yang dalam aircraft tu pun elok + secure lagi. And in their case, table yang tak safe langsung. What will happen when my baby bergolek while I'm changing his nappy? I'll never use it. Baik tukar kat atas kerusi je.
Rating: -0.7 stars

Kuching Airprt: They have a good one after the total makeover. Small room, but no chairs provided. You expect me nursing standing up, eh? I like the changing pad/ cushion though, big enuff for Ilham to golek2.
Rating: 2.8 stars

Times Sq/BBP/Lot10: Never bother to locate the rooms coz everytime we are there, we stay at ParkRoy*l nearby, so kalau Ilham poo pun we can always rush back to the hotel.

Wait a sec, I should be typing my ISO docs instead of yakking here, rite? Okay okay back to reality. ~over & out~

Just got the ref # for our raya tickets. Hope things will go well, janganla MAS nak buat hal tetiba nak totally stop BTU sector come October.

Am still not feeling well, and the gloomy weather is not helping much. Macamla keje on the field kan, pity those who work in the plant. But well, tu lah, sapa suruh keje dalam plant. hahahaaha-> evil laugh. But for me, dapat gaji RM20K sebulan pun I will never work in the plant, dusty, panas, stuffy, with ammonia smell, granulation powder etc, bleh pengsan beb. I've only been inside the process area twice and rasa menyesal tak sudah.

Oh, in here, I'm actually PAID even when I'm blogging. Ni konfem boss tak tau, so wat de heck. At least, I'm not like some ppl yang vanish from office almost everyday and bagi reason, makcik sakit, pakcik pengsan, anak demam, kucing batuk, goldfish kena HFMD, what else? For whatever reasons, they are not in during the day, datang masa meeting je but during the meetings, they are the ones who talk most. Bullshooot betullaaa.

Just came back from lunch. Uzey cooked today, and I guess I am one of those lucky moms who get to go home during lunch, jumpa anak, have lunch with hubby, and return to office, all within 1 hour. Pantas dan cekap. Cheewaahh..

I have 2 meetings in 15 mins time. 2 meetings concurrently. Cayalah. Bagaimana harus aku membahagi kepada dua kepala hotak & badan to attend both. Hellloooo, can't u guys invite my SUPERIOR. Dia hidup lagi, okayy. unless kalau dia dh mampos tu lain lah. Oops I'm so cruel but what to do :p

On a much happier note, Ilham dah jalan laju, though he looks funny, sometimes terbongkok2 cam nenek kebayan, and sometimes cam frankestein un ada. But he's quite competent already, and Uzey managed to capture his so-called first steps on viewcam last nite. He was actually showing off his skills once dia nampak his dad holding the camera. Okay, lepas ni bleh burn to CD and send it to Nenek, yay!

Gotta go & sit my fat a$$ in the meeting room now.

Of Cravings & Tonsilitis..

My tonsil has activated itself since last nite. Argh. I hate it when my throat sakit. But I think I know what's the culprit. Misti becoz of the Limau Nipis juice with asam boi that I made last nite. I substituted the asam boi bijik with serbuk, that's the only one available, coz i had the cravings for similar juice I had at the L*ksa Shack the other day, though theirs was way too sweet to my liking. Don't think it's getting better, even after gurgling salt water and had a mug of tamarind juice after lunch today.

Talking about craving brings me to my pregnancy-induced cravings, which I would say, very 'critical' due to unavailability of certain food at the place where we live. That's why, if possible, Insyallah, I plan to conceive again only after I'm transferred! Tak sanggup beb pregnant kat sini!

Among the things that I craved for

Coke & colek pauh. I remember gulping down almost a 1-litre bottle of Coke and eating colek pauh yang pedas gile few days before I found out I was pregnant. Nasiblah nothing bad happened! I felt so guilty and Thankful at the same time that the 2 Cs, Coke & Colek didn't effect my baby.

Nanchos. But only the ones from Chilis. Nasib baik Uzey managed to take me out the day before we returned to TM for Raya. We went to their branch @ OU. tu pun dah almost closing time. I only had that, and felt very satisfied and happy!

Nasik lauk gulai ayam kampung at that particular kedai bawah pokok in TM. I shed a tear when we went there on my last day of vacation and pakcik tu angkat tangan signaling sumthing like "Lauk abis"! Gosh memang nak nangis. But I finally managed to wallop it during my next trip home.

Telur penyu. Yes, the extinct penyu. I asked Papa to bring it to B*ntulu during his visit, and he actually bought like 20 bijik! And I had all for myself, coz Uzey doesn't really like it.

To be continued...

Of Good Friends and Great Times

One of my good friends is leavin' for further study in UK coming Sept. Had a small farewell gathering for her, and we got her a nice crystal + pearl bracelet. *p, jangan lupe eh, nak kirim barang nanti! hehehe. The get-together we had last Saturday was fun. Though it was only for short while coz yours truly was late! Ni gara2 nak pakai keta orang punye pasal. But luckily nobody left before we reached Fazi*'s. It's been a long time since we last had that kind of session. The last one was on New Year's day, at Y*ntie's where we cooked spaghetti and baked our own pizza! (tapi still tak aci coz pizza base beli yang frozen) :-p How time flies, but our friendship is still strong. Reminiscing the time when we were in T*C... dari umur 13 baru akil baligh and now we have our own babies, things may have changed, but our bond, does not.
I still remember how stoopid we were to do things back in college, theye never fail to bring a smile to my face everytime ingat balik all those moments. Now, all 5 of us, have our own paths, but things in common get us together, which is friendship based on trust and honesty. We have gone through different ways, but we will always be friends, and me, being one of them , is very proud to have 'em for the last 15 years....One is a dentist, who will be a specialist in 3 years' time. One is a masters student, just quit from her high-pay job to be with husband up north, one is getting married in December and is now a teacher, (and we've never thought she could be one!), one is a full time mummy, a very educated mummy at that, having had a degree and almost completed her masters (sewaktu post ini ditulis, but now she has re-joined the workforce) , one is programmer - ye ke title ni.. more of a Consultant I guess.. (but I guess she is more than that, independent lady) and the last one, that would be me.. is based far far away from civilization, suffering but still got the chance to meet 'em, once in a while.

To all of my good friends, (I know they won't be reading this) but.. just to let you guys know, korang memang best, kawan aku dunia akhirat, aku takkan jumpa kawan cam korang lagi sampai bila2. With u guys, I don't have to be someone else, I am myself, and thanks for accepting me the way I am, thanks for all the memories, the friendship, everything. Glad that our husbands and friends , and glad that our babies are born on the same year..so they will continue our golden friendship...
Glad we met. You guys are all I ever need in a friend...

Got a rise?

Alhamdulillah. Just checked my latest payslip online and the figures have increased. Though it's nothing compared to my boss who gets additional RM40K, but still, Syukur Alhamdulillah. Rezeki Ilham & for both of us as well :-)

On the other note, Ilham is getting better but we still plan to take him to the Paed tonite. Mana tau his fever re-occurs. If he is fine, we can proceed with his last Triple A since he's already13 months tapi tak injek lagi yang 12 mths punye.

On a less interesting note, my cerdit card bills are increasing as well! Aiyo.. but what to do, I will never learnt my lesson. I've been spending like a crazy lady for the last 1 week teeheeeheee. But a woman gotta do what a woman gotta do, rite? For raya prep, things are almost ready. Uzey punye baju melayu je belum but I'm sure he doesn't wanna get a new pair since yang 2 pairs for Raya Haji ari tu pun baru sekali dua pakai. As for Ilham, he gets a new wardrobe!! Baju berlambak2. Good thing that he doesn't outgrow his baju fast, infact the ones he's still wearing now, baju for Newborn!

Don't have the mood to reply work-related email today. But I've gotta plan something for my upcoming assessment.

Signing off..

Continue.. (coz I still dont feel like being productive)

A manager from other dept asked me today "So, I heard u DAPAT transfer?" Gosh.. isn't weird that I DON'T know anything about it but people keep asking me that kind of question? This is the umpteenth time already, and I don't feel like giving a s*it bout it coz I'm tired of giving us hopes. There are so many things to be done in the office, and if I'm really being transferred, shouldn't anyone tell me so, so that I can plan ahead, finish whatever things I'm doing and at least try my best to leave something properly scheduled for the next, maybe, 1 year??

Seems that I can't keep track on things & I've no one to turn to. Ada superior pun useless. Aku tanya A dia jawab B. WTF?

Let's change to another topic...Ilham is actively walking now. When he wants to reach his toys, he intends to forget that he is not skillful yet, but he still walks to get 'em. Even when he wants to come to me for to quench his thirts, he walks! Padahal mama ngan dia dok sbelah2 je... :-)

He had a good time during our 6d/5n stay in Park R*yal. Petang2 gi swimming pool with Papa, and he enjoyed himself tremendously. Infact he didn't wanna come out when we wanted to towel-dry him. He is a now a pro at it. Muka rilek je bila letak dalam pelampung keta dia tu.

Abah came to stay with us for 2 nights, though he doesn't meet Abah often, he really 'clicks' with Tok Bah, bergurau2 and made funny face so that my dad tickles him.

Even so with Papa who came when we already checked out. Though lama tak jumpa, tried his best to impress Aki, tunjuk skills jalan n macam2 lagi.

Owh it's raining heavily outside. Hope it stops by the time I drive home. Don't like slippery road, tambah2 lak with B*ntulu's drivers yang bodo gila ni..

Signing off.. again..

Of Shopping & Paid Vacation

Time for updates. But before that, I am not feeling good today coz Ilham is having a fever and cold. He woke up so many times last night and mengamuk coz his nose is stuffed and he couldn't feed properly. Will visit the Paed before lunch and hope he will get better. Get well soon sayang!!

What have we done for the last 8 days..

1. Checked out M*tro member's day sale and bought toys, baju Ilham and a shirt for my dad. I even organized 3 trips, 1 prior to the first day sale, 2nd just to buy Ilham's stuff and 3rd just to buy my stuff. Bought a handbag for RM120, though Uzey doesn't really like its quality, but what the heck. Price was slashed to RM120 FROM RM469... 70% discounts beb.. so had to buy walaupun I must admit that I didn't really like the material too but I love the size/style/design. I can actually put Ilham's diapers, Magic Cup and all other items in that coz it's not so big and not so small either. My long term plan so that the handbag can be used during Raya hehe, takle I have to carry the oh-not-so-stylish backpack tu..

2. Went to Iset*n's first day sale as well, and gosh how I love their baju's collection! Infact they are much2 better than the ones they have at KLC* nye branch. The last time I was there was like years ago where I bought my first Docke*s. Since I went alone in the morning, had the chance to choose and fit the bajus first, managed to grab 3 shirts and a pair of work pants. Nice! Spent only RM200 for the 4 items, and when we went for the 2nd round after lunch, bought Ilham more bajus and managed to grab tshirts for my cousins as well. I love Hallmar*'s baby clothes. The material is so good and comfy. I'll try to find more for Ilham later.

3. Had Johnny's. I've been wanting to have it since the last time we had it at OU, but didn't really enjoyed myself coz there were too many of us. So we went there on Thursday evening, Ilham was such a good boy, he had some soup and egg tofu, and he even played with the smoke from the steamboat pot and letting us enjoyed our dinner peacefully. The dessert was good. Next time I'll order the other kinds of desserts, I hope to Go*gle the recipes to add to my collection.

4. Had Sw*nsens the nite before but I don't really like it, and I dont think I will visit them again. It's our 2nd time there, the first time was also years ago when we were still dating.

5. Had N*ndos the first night of our stay at P*rk Royal. While waiting for my dad to arrive.

6. Went to T*mes Square and had laksa @ L*ksa Shack with dad and Uzey, tak sedap and not worth the $$ spent.

7. Bought my auntie & uncle a Cocoa Mocha cake from Secre* Recipe. As a token of appreciation for letting us use their Merc :-)

Oh I did not mention anything 'bout my training, yah? Haha.. Nothing worth mentioning. But I managed to network with other Planning ppl from other OPUs. See if I can ask them for favours later! Tee.heeheehehhhhe

Life For Sale..duhh...

grrrrr
geramnya!! I updated the blog only to know later that it's not updated! I guess it got lost in the cyberspace..

anyway, I was yakking about the inability to refraining myself from shopping coz next week M*tro is having a sale and somemore we will be staying at the hotel just 2 minutes' walking distance from BB!!! adusss there goes my $-saving plan! Just by looking at their online flyers make me drool! So I guess Ilham is getting MORE new clothes, MORE toys, and Mama is getting new handbags and shoes! The Pierre Cardin sandal bought during JJ sale next month pun baru pakai sekali, dah nak beli lagi?? BAAAADDD GURRLLL....

but wat de heck, hehehe... I can go shop my heart out during the Preview day coz they are opened until 12 midnite. How good things can be? I've plans with my shopaholic-auntie, so here we come, MJ sale!

Oh and the other note, Ilham can walk now, at least for more than 5 steps. Tapi kaki dia takde brek so always terlajak and purposely falls in my arms. Yes, he still sways and sometimes he can't walk straight, but he is perfecting himself. By looking at him, I feel soooo damn proud! He never gives up, he shows lots of effort and courage and he's very strong-willed! He has also updated his vocab now, most of the times mumbling phrases as if he's talking to us, and most of the time when me & Uzey talk non-stop, he will 'say' something like "Mama, pleaseee la cakap ngan Ilham pulak.. stop yakking okay!!" haha.

Won't be updating for > 1 week coz we're leaving for KL tomorrow afternoon. I hope the meeting on Monday is gonna be very short. I don't intend to stay long with those guys! arghh.

Within 24 hours, I've received invitation to apply for vacant positions, one in KL and another in K*rtih. Well, there's no harm trying, rite? I'm sure the grass is GREENER at the other side... Forwarded my resume and hopefully when the time comes, we will leave this place, Insya Allah...

*I'm selling my Palm Tungsten T2 but since nobody's reading this blog, so I'll just keep the advert to myself lah..hehehe

~over & out~

I'm Going SHOPPING!!!!!

Gosh!
baru je mentioned something about refraining myself from shopping, tetiba lak M*tro ada sale next week and Member's Preview on the 19th, and next whole week I'll be staying at Parkroyal, only 3 minutes' walk to BBP! Aiyooo there goes my $$$! Wishful thinking betulla! Seems that I'll go crazy over the bargains! Infact I've 'aimed' for so many items just by looking at their online flyers!! Well Ilham, looks like your stock baju will be added, coz I luurve M*tro nye collection of baju2 budak kecik! And also not forgetting my handbags.. and shoes... urghh I bought a pair of Pierre Cardin sandals just last month and tu pun belum hilang bau kedai lagi, and now I'm targetting for more???? Gile gile...

God God please save me from the 'disaster' (and yet deep inside I feel like jumping with joy!!!) hahahaha

In 2 days...

Yeay!
I am so excited! Just purchased the tickets online , we are going to KK to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary! We were there for our honeymoon and after 3 years, we’ll relive our memories but this time around we have Ilham with us, so it’s even more meaningful. Abah and Mama will also join us, so that’s even much more exciting! I had a good deal on that, though it’s gonna cause some hassle for us to drive to Miri first before taking the flight outbound to KK, but I guess it’s well worth it to pay just RM70 for return ticket per person. Since the trip is in September, I'm praying hard that the plan will turn out smoothly.


On other note, one of the guys in the meeting mentioned something about me to be transferred to P**LIN next year. But I didn't say anything back to them coz I'm tired of putting too much hope. I've done that and it sucks. Though deep inside my heart felt like bursting, sape taknak balik Kertih beb??!! Hopefully whatever they said are not bulls*it only.


We're going to KL on Saturday. Again?! 2nd trip in 2 weeks' time for me & Ilham. Infact, the gap was not even 2 weeks, we returned on 6th and will be going again on 15th. Pengsan pack and unpack barang. Luckily Uzey is coming with us so I"M GLAD! At least tak payah pack sendiri hehehe


Plans in KL? Farewell/gathering @ F*zie's, visit my auntie at Hosp. P*trajaya. Hope I can refrain myself from shopping, but ..TOUGH LUCK....

So husband u keje ape?

I hate this question, but what I hate even more, is the word househusband. It makes me look like I’m treating my husband as a slave, it sounds ‘uncool’ and I feel bad just by hearing the word. I prefer the term stay-at-home-dad, infact when people ask me what my husband does for a living, I’d say "Oh, he is a stay-at-home-dad’ .

We even bought a book on SAHD and it’s very good. The idea has been in the West for so long and I guess the writer, Mr Peter something is brilliant to make the ‘profession’ sounds interesting and cool. It IS a profession, isn’t it? Coz for me, given a choice, I’d rather not be a SAHM.

Sorry Ilham, but Mama needs to go to work to get $$ so that I can buy you nice things :-)

15th Sept ni, genaplah 2 tahun Uzey jadi SAHD. I mean, dad for 1 year + and he is a pro at it. Compared to me, he is much better when it comes to Ilham. But, well, no, I am not ashamed having him to stay at home while I go to work. I feel proud and blessed coz my baby is well taken care of. They read books together, watch Barney together, play & learn non-stop and Ilham is in the best hands when I go to work. Sapa tak happy? I don’t have to think about accidents at the daycare, tak payah risau pasal HFMD, tak payah risau kalau kena balik lambat and childminder tinggal Ilham sorang2, tak payah risau pasal kena dera, coz Uzey gives his 110% to Ilham.

It’s just that, sometimes we think of ... Well..things, money-wise. I feel bad Uzey can’t pursue his dreams, he can’t be in the career that he loves so much, he has to be stucked at home waiting for D-Day when my boss says "Okay , I’ll release you, please find a place in another OPU" which is like... Helllooo.... Macam mimpi je la kan, given my condition now dengan b*ss yang cam t********t tu....

Ilham, when you grow up, and you join your friend’s conversation on "bibik, nanny, pengasuh, maid, kakak, orang gaji, whatsoever" you can proudly say "I WAS TAKEN CARE BY MY OWN DAD SINCE I WAS 1 DAY OLD UNTIL (fill in the blank) " hopefully u can say until 1 ½ year ke.. 2 years ke... And you must be proud of that okay. Coz nothing can ever replace Papa’s love for you..

You should be thankful coz he willingly offered himself to take care of you and you must know that he received a job offer on the 3rd day after you were born & you were still hospitalized, but he rejected the offer coz you are the only thing that matter to him. You are one lucky baby, sayang, coz whatever he does, he always think of you, he misses you so much when you are not around, he treats you to so many nice things, he takes you (and Mama jugaklah) to nice places, he keeps up with you when you are very lasak, climbing non-stop etc, he worries about you when you didn’t wanna eat, smile, when you cry, he even sembahyang hajat everytime he feels you are not feeling well...

After all, Ilham, we love you and you are the luckiest son in the world.

Stoopid Monday

i hate everything that happened today, everybody that I talked to in the office (except H**li) , i hate my colleagues, my superior, my subordinates, that b*stard downstairs, i hate 'em all. I even hate the guy-who-is-gonna transfer... Oh, and that b*stard, how he managed to get 1 , can anybody tell me?

I was warned by HRDF coz the stoopid trainee submitted same claim twice and the lady threathened to sue the company for making false claims, I was scolded by a stoopid f*cker for rejecting his staff trg application which was way back in April, i am devastated coz suddenly the girl who wanted to swap place with me was not released by her boss coz she's oledi sitting on E* position, I am pissed by the stoopid J****** who doesn't know how to say thanks to people who do things for him and saved his fat a** , i am supposed to leave but *Y won't release me for the next 3-4 years, wtf? My god this list can go on and on and on.

Thank God for Ilham & Uzey.

I hate this place, this office, this workstation. I hate 'em all. Please God lemme outta here. Fullstop.

Weekend at its best

Had a good weekend. Not great, only good. I’ll consider it great if we were in TM or Kertih. Even that so, I still enjoyed every moments spent with my 2 precious darlings.

Spent half of Saturday lazying around, Uzey helped with the laundry (as usual) and I played my part as a good wife by calling Pizza Hut for delivery hehehe

Only on Sunday I cooked for him. Itu pun after he has gone to buy the fresh fishes and me and Ilham only came downstairs at 11 am! We had nasi lemak for brunch and even for dinner. It was gooood.. Uzey prepared the rice and I was in charge of the anchovies sambal, which turned out to be very very delicious we decided to sell nasi lemak for extra income!

It’s Monday, and in 7 day’s time we’ll be off to KL for my last SKG training, and hopefully I’ll be able to sit for the assessment, my last resort to get outta here!

Ilham, is now trying very hard learning to walk! Infact he manages more than 5 steps at a time now, though he still sways a lot and he looked so funny and cute at the same time... Being unstable, I’m sure he’ll be tired practising but knowing him, I know he will keep trying to be good and to prefect his walking skills..

And since Kl trip, he now says "MMMMmamamamamama" everytime he wants milk, and professionally will try to pull my baju up. Oh my... Hope he doesn’t do this in public!
Looking forward for the weekend to spend time with my darlings again..

My perfect weekend would be like this..

If I’m here with Uzey & Ilham
Wake up late
Bathe & dress Ilham up
Brunch with whatever thing I can whip up in the kitchen
Pegi pasar/ kedai for our supplies
Lepak watch TV and play with Ilham
Cooking & have late lunch
Afternoon nap (rarely!)
Car ride (when applicable)
Cuddling Ilham, Ilham & Ilham

If I’m at my parents’ with Uzey & Ilham
Breakfast outside
Pasar
Eat mama’s cooking
Eat, eat, eat
Visit relatives
Lepak & watch TV

If I’m in Kertih with Uzey & Ilham
Wake up to Papa’s voice :-p
Lepak & watch TV
Pantai
Keropok lekor, sotong goreng tepung & air nyior..yummehhhh!!

When a door close on me, another one opens..

Ilham really freaked us last nite. Tetiba tak nak minum susu, I mean like tetiba refused me. He never act like that before. Nak tido, tapi tak nak susu? Hellooo... so unlike Mr Ilham that we know... Fortunately dia nak susu balik just before he felt asleep. Gosh.. jangan buat mama cam tu ... papa has already warned "Papa tak nak turun buat susu kat Ilham malam2 okayyyy"


On a more pathetic note, I found out that my boss is not releasing me though there's already oen replacement, WILLINGLY to come over. Bullshit. I pray that he rots in hell for doing that to us. How could these people do this? When I mean these people, they are inclusive of his side-kick yang suka cari pasal and anti- org Semenanjung. Bastards are aplenty nowadays, don't u think so??

Oh Ilham please forgive for having the above para in your blog.

Nasib baik it's already Friday and I don't have to think about these stoopid thing for the next 2 days!

KL trip

We are safely back in Bintulu, though the flight was delayed for almost 20 minutes but we managed to reach BTU before 5.30 pm. Uzey was already waiting, with a big grin on his face. I’m sure he misses us so much! Ilham was such a little angel, behaving himself throughout the 5 days we were in KL, eventhough his dad was not around..

Day 1
Had a smooth journey, luckily Mai was travelling with us. Ilham was behaving himself, played in the flight, crumbled some cookies, smiling to strangers and even played with them and when we arrived in KLIA, Imi was already there to fetch us. Ilham slept during the 2 hour journey to Ayah Ngah’s. That nite we went to Giant to buy some supplies, Domino’s and durian, that we really craved for!
Called it a nite around 12 midnite.

Day 2
Woke up late, put Ilham back to sleep and made sure he gets enuff rest since we plan to go out in the afternoon. Went to OU and co-incidentally the are organizing Barney’s Beach Party! So Ilham finally had a chance to meet Barney personally, in real life! Bought him a straw-cup with Barney’s face, went to Toys R Us and bought his crayon and pelampung tangan, plus drawer locks that Uzey requested. Also bought a Su Doku book for Uzey. Had lunch at Nando’s and Ilham had Baskin Robbins. Ilham was behaving himself and looked like he had fun! Mama, abah and becik arrived around 9 pm. Ilham slept at 1.15 am.

Day 3
Woke up at 6 am, ride the cab with Abah and finished my course only at 5pm. Reached home at 6.30 pm. Felt tired, but still managed to go to Midvalley and mama did some shopping. Didn’t but anything and had McD.

Day 4
Drove to Permata. My first time driving on the route and first time in 5 years driving in KL! Luckily I took Cik Ngah’s automatic Kancil, saved me the hassle of changing gears every now and then. Smooth journey & training but I hate the kerek trainer. Finished the exam at 5pm and reached home at 6pm. Went tp Putrajaya.

Day 5
Mama and Becik took the ERL with us to KLIA. Flight was at 2 pm, smooth journey as well and Ilham was, again, an angel.
Returned home and finally all of us are together again!!!!!
