Saya bercuti dari hari rabu lepas. My justification for the leave was to do some preparation i.e. read and prepare the notes, things and my uniforms. Although my boss was reluctant but he had to since the course is a career course and it is important (Bila minta cuti nak buat assignment jgn harap la dapat). Itu pun he said if he has to call me to the office, I have to go..hmmm..nasib baik sepanjang cuti ni tadak lagi call dari pejabat.

Okay..objective utama ialah nak prepare..nak siap packing barang kan? agak-agak la..tercapai tak objective saya tu? Owh..harus ditambah disini...saya menggunakan masa ni untuk layan Adam juga..so saya tak hantar dia ke rumah pengasuhnya.

I think sesiapa yg kenal anak teruna saya ni mesti dah boleh agak...takde satu pun planning saya tu berjaya dilaksanakan...sadis. Cuti saya sebenar-benarnya hanya dihabiskan dengan melayan Adam sahaja...dan memasak of course.

Saya tak pasti if anak-anak orang lain pun cegini gayanya...tapi Adam saya memanglah sangat cerewet layanannya. To tell the truth, dari dia celik mata bangun pagi...saya cuma dapat mengadap kerja saya sendiri bila dah sampai jam 5 petang. Masa tu dia dah sibuk kayuh basikal satu rumah and not long hubby balik dari pejabat. But, dia cuma behave begitu dengan saya sahaja...itu yg sadisnya. Dengan mak saya or daddy dia...dia adalah Adam si perfectly behaved guy...waaaaaa.

I DON'T HAVE CREDIT CARD AND NOT IN TRILLION YEARS I'M GOING TO HAVE ONE. SO PLEASE, PLEASE...DON'T CALL ME SAYING THAT I HAVE CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AND YOU HAVE OFFERS TO GIVE ME BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD I DON'T HAVE ONE AND I DON'T WANT ONE..NOT EVEN IF YOU OFFER ME MILLIONS.

THANKS.

P.S I'M SIMPLY ANNOYED WITH THIS M*& B%^&K OPERATORS THAT KEEP ON CALLING ME.

Dah hampir sebulan anak bujang I minta kasut bola. Lama kan? Bukannya tak boleh belikan masa dia minta tu but we think it's time for him to realize yg benda-benda dia minta tu cost money. Everytime we went out dia akan repeat his request and everytime he kicks his ball in the house he said, "Kesian Adam takde kasut bola...sakit kaki Adam ni"..boleh?hehehe..sungguh kelakar budak ni.

Yesterday we went out to buy things for me yang tak lama lagi nak attend kursus. Mencari track suit yg plain takde stripes and yg bersaiz kecil adalah satu cabaran Amazing Race you all...naik turun Pertama Kompleks yg punyalah banyak kedai alatan dan baju sukan, hampir kedai dah nak tutup baru jumpa sehelai...and I need 2 pairs..demmm.. so hari ni decided nak keluar awal sket nak jengah Sogo yg tengah sale (yea..sale tu sampai 3 May ni je ye akak-akak dan abg abg) manalah tau ada sehelai lagi track yg bersaiz S.

Then, Adam buka siren (menangis dengan suara yg kuat okey) nak bola. Aduhai anak...bola kamu yg di rumah tu pun jenuh kamu nak tendang..nak sebiji lagi? And bola yg dia ambil tu harganya mak aih..

Since dah lama sangat dia minta, we sought after his kasut bola. Dah daddynye pula cerewet tak hengat pilih kasut...huhuhuhu..ikut mommynya..amek je yg paling murah dan agak-agak cantik. Memang susah la cari boot bola size budak-budak..I think online store ada la jual. Tapi daddynye pilih sport shoes la untuk anak terunanya supaya tak brterusan merajuk tak dapat bola tu..dah berkenan dihati takde size pulanya..mommynye dah give up dah duk atas kerusi sambil try kasut yg within reach...penat hokey naik turun itu kompleks. At last, I yg decided on the shoes...dah kalau daddynye duk uhhh...ahhh...undecided (sebab tak berapa berkenan dihati la tu), kedai pula dah nak tutup, nanti balik rumah meraung lagi budak kecik tu tak dapat kasut bola.

Cerita balik rumah pula...dah sampai terus menayang kasutnya pada Mak Teh yg baru balik jumpa kawan-kawan..masa tu dah jam 1030 pm. Jenuh pujuk nak tukar pakai baju tidur. Sebabnya tak nak buka kasut..huhuhu..then bila nak tidur, letak kasut kat bedside table you all..hahaha. Jam 5 pagi dia bangun mengigau cari kasut dia..hahahaha...sepanjang hari ni dia pakai kasut tak buka..sampaikan nak nap tadi terpaksa pujuk guna alasan paling tak logik dalam alam ni la nak buka kasut dia..hailah Adam...macam-macam perangai.

I ada snap gambar dia tengah nak tidur pakai kasut tapi dia suh I delete weh..pandai oo jaga ke machoan anak I ni..sanggup bangun nak kasi I snap gambar and then terus amek botol susu dan zzzzz...hehehe. Dia malu bila amek gambar dia tengah hisap susu botol.

Ni kasut mommy punya. Sambil-sambil fed up tunggu hubby pilih kasut Adam..I dah 'ter' cuba kasut yg melted to my foot..hehehe..seriously sangat selesa...rasa cam it hugs my kaki comfortably. Kasut camni sangat bagus untuk sesi bershopping sebab tak rasa penat kaki..another one my fave is Crocs..seriously sangat selesa pakai. Kasut ni beli dikedai yg sama so dapatlah diskaun sket..sebab sebaik saje we all keluar dari kedai, they close the shop..hahaha.

Since I am going for a long course this coming May, ada few perkara yg I have to settle at my office. The one waiting ialah the farewell dinner for my staff yang dah posting out and another one who's going to retire very soon nasib baik dah buat masa ada waktu senggang in between activities di Kem. Of course, yang ni tak termaktub dalam Standard Operation Procedures but a happy staff produces a good quality work kan... So we had steamboat dinner at one of the restaurant nearby my office. Masa we all had the dinner, memang aman dan tenteram aje coz tak ramai orang. Esoknya a few of us sakit perut..mana taknya, makan seafood tak ingat dah ada darah tinggi ke, gout ke. Also thanks to hubby for sponsoring the dinner.

Adam had a merry time makan seafood. His all time favorite mesti la udang and fish ball. Dah penuh tank dia, mula la meronda satu restaurant..ada pula geng anak my staff..pun namanya Adam..hehehe..tapi anak teruna I pemalu overboard..susah betul nak click dengan budak-budak yg sebaya. Yang dia betul-betul boleh click tak kira bila hanya dengan anak-anak Kak Ana je..Akili dan Alilo. Dia menangis nak bagi hadiah ni pada my staff..hai la anak..mommy ke kamu yg boss ni?

Posing lagi depan restaurant..ni Mak Teh yg melayan..mommy tengah busy makan.

Owh..restaurant ni di Seksyen 2 Wangsa Maju..Kak Eita Seafood if tak salah..about RM 29 ++ je perhead makan sampai kenyang..hehehe.

Lagi 6 hari saya nak tinggalkan hubby dan anak saya for a career course for about 3 months long. Yeah, mak saya cuba ceriakan saya by saying, '3 bulan bukannya lama pun..sedar-sedar dah nak balik, tamat kursus'. HAHA...positif nya mak saya tu. I think inilah kursus pertama saya yang agak lama semenjak Adam lahir. Tak pernah lagi saya tinggalkan dia for this long. Walaupun saya boleh balik every week pun, mana nak sama dengan menatap wajah dua-dua orang yg saya sayang setiap hari. Sure la nanti meleleh air mata nak tinggalkan dia.

Ditengah-tengah saya kelam fikirkan nak tinggalkan Adam..saya dihidangkan dengan satu lagi berita yg lagi buat saya black out sekejap. Walaupun hubby berkali-kali mengingatkan saya yg semuanya belum confirm, belum tentu, belum pasti...saya dah memenatkan otak saya berfikir...sampaikan tak boleh tidur malam 2-3 hari. Asalnya saya yg meminta izin hubby untuk apply berkhidmat dibawah panji-panji Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu dan dia memang reluctant habis nak let me apply. Then, bila dia diberi peluang, walaupun saya was was untuk ditinggalkan, saya redha supaya dia dapat pengalaman yg beharga. Hati saya berbelah bagi...tapi saya harap dengan persetujuan saya, hubby saya akan lembut hati nanti nak let me do the same..hohoho.

Wokey, cerita lain, last few weeks yang saya busy terkejar sana sini, tidur tak menentu..sebab kerja-kerja dibawah ni. Nak share gambar banyak-banyak sebab upload sangat slow harini saya dapat gambar2 ni ajelah. Sedari awal April lagi we were busy dengan eksesais Haringgaroo ni. The name derived from (Malaysia-Harimau + Australia-Kanggaroo) sebab joint forces dengan askar Australia.Banyak yg boleh dipelajari dan ada la few yg tak boleh ikut. Penat memang tak terkata tapi puas bila kerja dihargai orang.

Group picture selepas majlis penutup...sebelum bom asap di letupkan..havoc.

Juruacara majlis...

Serious berbincang pasal aktiviti..hehehe..

Sometimes I think real hard to find certain answer but many times I will stumble upon a dead end..and sometimes I try to find a good explanation or excuses to give to people who seem to find my situation peculiar. I had long ago decided that I cannot satisfy everybody's requirement but I could, at least satisfy mine...and no matter what people say or talk about me...matter that much to me anymore than it were years ago...what make me nagging this evening? well, again..susah hati. I am at my worst whenever people ask me (people whom I am not familiar with) of when are we going to add more members to the small family and why not soon? Ya Allah...I don't know if you always stumble with people yg tak mau anak? Siapa yg tak mau anak?

Saya susah hati bila orang mula kesiankan saya...saya rasa tak boleh handle a pitiful look on peoples' face. For me, in my condition, I don't need pity (bukan saya ni arrogant or sombong tapi adakah kasihankan saya itu boleh membantu saya?) from orang luar yg tak kenal siapa saya..

Dulu, masa tahun pertama saya berkahwin dan masuk tahun ke dua perkahwinan..orang mula bising-bising bila kami masih berdua...sedangkan parents, parents in law, saudara mara pun tak pernah bertanya...and it goes to the same circle now. If saya dan hubby boleh terima keadaan saya sekarang without regret, kenapa orang luar perlu terlebih prihatin? Tak cukupkah penjelasan tentang rezeki dan takdir yg Allah tentukan? Lainlah jika saya sendiri yg bercerita..

Insyaallah semangat saya kuat, begitu juga penerimaan hubby. Saya tak perlukan kasihan yg berlebihan sebab saya tak rasa saya ada kekurangan dimana-mana pun. I really hope orang luar yg tak kenal saya will stop saying 'Kesiannya..'

I have something else to share but I'll just post Adam's pictures masa birthday dia that day dulu.

Beautiful Blogger

Echeh..rasa cam glamer jap..hehehe..dapat award gitu..but as usual..with the awards come the tricks..hehe..so, here goes...

Rule No. 1:Thank and link the person that gave you the award. Thank you aishah for the award. She is the yummiest mommy of 4. A strong person and equally dedicated mommy as she is a dedicated engineer. Really admire her strength...2 toddlers (twin), a baby and a career.WOW.

Rule No. 2:State 7 things about yourself ( Since I nk kasi adil, the 4 things come from me and the others are from hubby, kira boleh la ye.)

1. Like Aishah, I'm considering to work from home. While taking care of anak, hubby and household, I still get a good income. Freelace translator sound good, freelance lecture, or I can open my own beauty parlor plus groming and English class..banyak, banyak..cuma undecided je lagi.

2. I love to read. You name it...novel, newspaper, hatta cebisan old newspaper pun I boleh mengadap. And..I like to read dimana-mana sahaja..sambil makan, sambil borak (in which saya takkan dengar la apa yg orang borakkan), dalam toilet (hehehe), mana-mana la.

3. I am addicted to coffee or nescafe. If sehari tak minum rasa tak lengkap hidup..nak bercakap pun malas..berfikir pun cam slow aje. Saya tak boleh minum teh..nanti kembung..hehehe.

4. Saya sangat tak suka muka yang berjerawat. Susahnya hati saya bila muka naik jerawat..rasa bila keluar macam semua orang pandang jerawat dimuka saya tu walaupun sebenarnya orang tak peduli pun. Jadi, set penjagaan muka saya memang penuh la dalam almari tu.

5. Dari hubby pula dia kata I tegas, if I nak something I akan cuba dapatkan. Hoho..gitu ye gayanya?

6. Another one from hubby, he said, I usually shopping online and bila dah order baru bagitau dia untuk buat payment (hahahahaha..ye ke?). Ehmm..ni nak cakap ape ek?hehe..obviously la wife yg suka habiskan duit hubby ye tak?

7. Lastly from hubby, I tak suka menunggu lama-lama. If dah tunggu lama mula la mengamuk..but if orang (hubby la tu) yg tunggu I..takpe..hehehe. Memang pun..sebab I am a bit particular about being punctual..and I memang jarang lambat, kalau ada pun tentu tak dapat dielakkan.

Rule No. 3 :Pass this award to 15 bloggers that you've discovered and think they are fantastic.

Wahahaha..mana la nk dapat sampai 15 since ramai dah yg dapat award ni. I kasi pada sorang je boleh? Kira boleh la ye. Jeng jeng jeng...calonnya ialah :

Suzie- A beautiful person in and out.

Hari ni saya cuti. Dah berminggu saya bekerja bertungkus lumus tak kira siang, malam, hatta hujung minggu sekalipun. Semalam pun (Ahad), saya balik ke rumah jam 2345...Adam dah tidur..hubby dah hampir-hampir terlelap tunggu saya pulang. Dari awal bulan, saya tak kenal cuti hujung minggu...kesian semua orang. Especially group members saya yang terpaksa buat assignment tanpa saya. Rasa bersalah yg tak hilang sampai sekarang. Dah berkajang maaf saya and harapnya kawan-kawan saya tu terima la maaf saya.

Semester ni hidup saya, kerja dan study saya macam tak tersusun. Semuanya rasa tunggang langgang. Rasanya saya dah cuba yg terbaik to manage everything tapi mungkin cara saya tidak efektif la. I have to revise back so that next semester things will run smoothly.

Sekarang ni cuti semester saya dah bermula...sempat la tarik nafas panjang. Itu pun tak lama sebab bulan depan saya sudah mula berkursus 3 bulan..wahahaha..minggu depan dah patut siap semua persiapan untuk attend kursus tapi apa satu pun saya tak buat lagi. Sakit kepala saya bila semua perkara datang serentak macam ni...rasa mau pengsan.

Itu baru hal saya, belum lagi hal-hal lain..huhuhuhu..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM

Ze pose from ze birthday boy

Ze second cake..choc moist blueberry ke apa tah.

Ze Cake was 6 kg load..all the way from KL. Nasib tak cair yeob.

I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to my Mom for helping with the last minute request..sempat tempah karipap yg sangat sedap and buat agar-agar fave I and Adam..nyum nyum, to hubby for cooking and layan kepala wifey yg nak itu nak ini..buat itu dan ini.. (trust me..pening!!), my sisters for helping out with the decoration...tiup belon sampai senak perut I dengar belon meletup..kussss semangat and layan je order kakaknye ini..hehehehe, sedara-mara yg datang, friends yg wish Adam and pray for him, neighbours yg datang memeriahkan majlis and also those yg bagi pressie and $$$$ to Adam. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Tuan rumah buat majlis ad-hoc sebab tak cukup masa but sangat grateful for those yg tetap datang eventhough last minute baru dimaklumkan..love you peoples..especially bila makanan memang habis...sangat hepi I.

Bertambah happy bila Adam sangat gembira. anak teruna tu kan memang suka bila jadi center of attraction kan..apalagi..pose sakan masa potong cake and tiup lilin..but memang niat pun nak menggembirakan hati anak...since dia demam 2 minggu mommy and daddy tak dapat balik. The least we could do is to give him something yang menggembirakan.

Goodie bags nasib ngan-ngam je cukup..fuh. If not tatau nak cekau mana dah coz goodies nye memang beli di KL sumanya. But Adam je dah rembat 2 bags sebab nak bubbles...huhuhu.

Once again terima kasih daun keladi...hanya berikan doa yg ikhlas untuk anak saya Mohamad Adam Muqriz bin Mohamad Shaifudin semoga menjadi hamba Allah yg sempurna iman, taqwa dan ibadahnya kepada penciptanya, Ibu Bapanya dan negaranya. Insyaallah.

p.s. gambar saya akan upload later sebab saya sekarang sedang sibuk tak cukup ruang nak siapkan assignments sebelum keluar outstation lagi.

I am capable of sleeping while standing at the moment..mustahil? Tidak bagi orang yg letih dan mengantuk macam saya. Semalam saya telah meletihkan diri dengan risau dengan macam-macm hal, settle few thing at the office, arranging and re arranging speeches. Tak tahu cerita assignments lagi ni. My brain ni dah overworked rasanya sampai masuk dalam mimpi semua kerja yang I have to do..parah.

Since dah takde senggang masa langsung minggu ni nak belikan barang-barang untuk birthday Adam, balik dari pejabat semalam terus ke IKANO. Ye..tukar uniform je sempat coz dah lewat petang sangat. Saya mencari barang-barang for goodie bags dulu since yg lainnye senang je nak cari di Taiping.

So, birthday cake dah tempah dan boleh diambil hari Jumaat...I shouldn't say cake ye tak, sebab bukan cake..hehehe. Since cake dah jemu makan, tahun ni tukar selera lak walaupun saya amat berkenan dengan 3D cake Secret Recipe yg macam ladybird tu..sungguh comel. Nasib baik 'cake' yg ditempah ni sempat siap. Macam pic kat bawah ni kan..it is a combination of pandan flavor pudding jelly but yg ditempah tu lain la macam yg ni...that one we'll have to wait until the B-Day nye la.

Yang ni ada chocolate flavour..kena tambah extra charge if nak flavor ni.
These pulanya Blueberry flavor..sedap juga..rasa masam-masam manis.layered with pandan flavor (original)..pun kena add extra charge.

Then, the matter of goodie bag and the content. As usual mommy is a little bit 'square' when it comes to what to give to kids. Walaupun bukan anak I tapi I still bertanggungjawab to what goes inside their little stomach. But contradict lak dengan daddy yg...'bagi peluang la sekali sekala to the kids'. So kenalah compromise. I baru beli toy yg nak masuk dlm bag and the party banner. I think we have one yg pakai for last party but couldn't remember I letak mana so I get the new one la. The rest belum beli lagi...maybe on Saturday nantilah..wahahahaha..penat penat.

I pilih toy made of wood...as oppose to the use of plactic..but then yg lain-lain are full of plastic juga..hmmm..Apalagi ek???

Hari minggu without Adam memang sunyi. Usually suara dia jelah yg berkumandang in the house. Owh, the little fellow is still at kampung with my parents and each time we ask him when is the time to come back home to mommy and daddy he would say he will go back with tokwan and tok...whatever it means. We call him every day to hear his endless chatter about what he does to occupy his time. Surely he sounds happier than when we asked him what he did when he stayed with his baby sitter.

This weekend other than attending class, I siap vacum and mopped my house yg so berhabuk. You would know it is indeed dusty when your tapak kaki dah kelabu asap..hahaha. Bukanlah I memang sengaja nak buat any experiment but memang I tak sempat sangat sangat. So sunday was the time to clean the house. If Adam is around I memang takkan biar la walaupun letih dan tak sempat because his allergy to dust but without him mommy pun tak sempat nak bersihkan rumah.

Next Jumaat will be Adam's birthday in which at first we planned to celebrate here but since he is at kampung...we decided to let him have the party at kampung. Mommy pula minggu ni memang maximum sibuk. Sibuk dengan kerja, assignments..mana nak curi masa nak siapkan goodies untuk birthday party si kecik tu? Taklah nk buat yg elaborate punya party just that something yg Adam enjoy. Any suggestion?
