Iman dah hafal lagu ni!!

mari berplay-doh!

2009-05-15T18:55:00.008+08:00

dah lama nak cerita bab play doh project ni...sangat interesting.. tapi sebab kemalasan yang melanda ... menyebabkan ianya tergendala...

sebenarnya saja nak share project yang saya buat last semester dalam masters kelas saya... dalam one of the classes ada topic "Play doh Animation" so group saya telah memilih untuk detailkan idea ni for our final assignmnet untuk kelas tu...

So, sekarang saya nak share cara-cara nak buat dough sendiri.. takyah beli-beli...boleh buat sendiri untuk anak fuan-fuan!

Resipi homemade playdough (saya cilok di sini http://babyparenting.about.com/cs/activities/a/playdough.htm )

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cup water

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

colorings

Mix flour, salt and oil, and slowly add the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the playdough with your hands until of proper consistency. Use as is, or divide into balls and add a few drops coloring ; green, red, and orange.

kena sentiasa kacau..dia macam a bit berketul-ketul

bahagikan ikut color

saya buat red,

green and

yellow.

dah siap!

ni apa yang saya buat dalam kelas....

yang ni final assignment...tapi ada yang guna "palstersin" ja pun....

ada laman web sekali...tapi jangan gelakla dgn stop motion animation group saya ni..amatur la katakan....

http://www.freewebs.com/riadandoa/

boleh gak tunjuk kat anak-anak!

What a life!

sorry again..Its been too long since my last post. Beside being too lazy to write, I also have many other things to focus than this humble blog! hehe.. (org lain sudah ke bulan dgn new layout.. rumahku jua yg tak bertukar2 wajah!!!)

Alhamdulillah , I am coping well with moderate appetite, facing less MS and becoming more active than the previous pregnancy; hoping that everything to be fine especially with work (next week , I will be involved with drama , ouch!!) and studies (less that a month before the final exam, argh!!!).

I have a lot to write , but too tired after working on the assignment that dues tomorrow..(tapi terlalu teringin nak update ) So, let me just put up some pictures to describe how I spent my day today.

I had such a very long working hour today - students registration, class and drama audition. Then I fetched Iman at her nursery. Since I had to get things done for my assignment , I had to meet my group members at UM, and Iman had to be dragged along since her abah had rugby practice today.

we got stuck in the traffic jam.. at this time Iwas hoping that both of us had wings to fly to UM in just few minutes. ..

the traffic was as usual...teribble!!

so Iman slept all the way...

we reached UM at 7.!!oo..gosh!!

This girl was busy clicking here and there, running and falling, jumping and screaming..arghh....camna nak buat kerja ni !!

she was excited and wanted me to pose beside the model.We left UM at about 10.

dek kerana kebuluran, I stopped at the KFC near UM and bought some food! Iman enjoyed her mashed potato and nuggets.

and I had my burger ...All licin!!

she slept with a full stomach ! sian anak mama..kena usung sampai lewat malam!

and we finally arrived at our home sweet home kepenatan !!

and now, im still typing..tp mata dah tak larat nak buka!!

note to Intan : thanks for the best mom award!I'll complete the tasks later, insyaAllah. yg lama pun tak buat2!!! Ya amppppppppuuuuuuuuunnn!!!

sorry...

2009-02-10T01:59:00.003+08:00

mengapa kau selalu datang menggangu....

2009-01-31T07:08:00.005+08:00

kehadiranmu
sering merisauka ku
menguasai seluruh urat sarafku
kedatanganmu
bersama mentari pagi dinihari...

kehadiranmu
sering membuat gundahku terusik
menyapa tatkala mentari melabuh sepi
tanpa ada belas simpati

kehadiranmu
apakah mampu ketangkisi
laungan hati menggesa jasadku
mengusirmu
secara diam secara terang

namun aku biarkan
kehadiranmu itu
kerana pasti sinar itu akan muncul
walaupun kau terus hadir
walaupun aku sering bertanya
mengapa kau selalu datang menggangu....

chewah!! berpuisi la konon..

hehhe...dah lama tak luangkan masa mengupdate rumah ini..dah kadang2 singgah untuk tgk update kawan-kawan , pergi rumah orang, baca tapi tak sempat nak komen (sbb do pikir nak enter password n reenter nombor n pkataan yg dia bg..huhu)saya jadi malas seketika... dahle keja macam belambak-lambak (mcm dia sorang je sibuk),dgn tenaga yang saya ada sekarang ni mmglah tak memadai... nanti bila saya dah regenerate apa yang patut saya buat la tag kawan2 yg dah panjang listnya... dan sambung cerita kat rumah ni...ada la tu..sat-sat lagi...

alahai...macamana nak kurus part 2

2009-01-05T21:19:00.005+08:00

im having having an intention to at least reduce weight by few kilos before my next birthday. I am now not obese but "lebih muatan" and because of that i am becoming more conscious on the food I take ( doesnt mean i do not consume those high calorie food... :( ) I always count the calories in food intake daily.. but only for the sake of giving great reminders to myself..huhu...

hence, with the help of some websites such as this and this let's see how much calories in food i took today!

morning

since i was the first day of work after a long holiday, i decided to have my breakfast at the canteen with colleagues. there were only few choices of food.. very few.. which were.. kuih muih..(which definitely tak masuk untuk tekakku waktu pepagi camni), nasi lemak and laksa johor alike..(the canteen worker calls it laksa selangor ...hmm??) after a while i chose to have that laksa since it looked so yummy .

And of course i took it with iced nescafe..ouch!!! (kononnya nak get alert sbb dah lama otak tak bekerja "berat" macam ni)

so for that breakfast the calories counted were :

Curry laksa - 1 bowl - 589 cal

1 mug of Nescafe - 98 cal

Total : 687cal (sudah!!)

lunch

sebab rasa bersalah makan laksa pepagi tu so, i only took half cup of rice with an ikan kembong masak asam pedas. I also ordered lemon juice with no ice.

the calculation was :

Rice - 1/2 cup - 100 cal

Ikan kembong - 85 cal

Lemon juice - 54 cal

Total : 239 cal

snack

when i got home at about 4.. while i was in front of the pc..mulut sebok juga mengunyah kerepek pisang. adala dalam 80gm kot..and a cup of milk.

kerepek - 5o cal

susu - i cup - 50 cal

Total : 100 cal

Dinner

I cook dinner as usual but for the other two persons in the housela.. bila teringin nak berdiet nasik cuma masak i small cup beras..tu pun tak habis..I took bread with one small piece of jenahak masak asam..and plain water

hasil darabannya :

roti - 78 cal

fish n the gravy - 140 cal

Total : 218 cal

So lets do some maths here

Breakfast : 687 cal

Lunch : 239 cal

Snack : 100 cal

Dinner : 218 cal

Total : 1235 (not bad!!)

Women should not consume less then 1200 generally..so mencapai targetla yesterday!!

plus with some workouts at nite..sehinggakan tertido keletihan lepas tu..LOL

macamana nak kurus..part 1

2008-12-28T21:43:00.014+08:00

adoi..i still have some hutangs to langsaikan tapi hati ini meronta nak buat entry lain dulu.. takplah.. pandu cermat jiwa selamat. Dah more than a month cuti and soon tak sampai two weeks sekolah dah nak buka..

ingat lagi plan yang nak buat masa awal2 cuti.. tapi semuanya on the surface saja.. bilik si kecik pun tak cat-cat lagi... itu hutang besar tu.. hari-hari tanya..adoiii...

apart from all the things to do.. satu yang mesti buat walaupun sekolah dah nak buka is to reduce weight.. cuti sekolah ni makan tak ingat punya.. setiap meal ngadap.. tapi dalam pada tu jenguk forum nak kuruskan badan tiap-tiap hari.. savekan tips yang baik.. workout, and diet yang sesuai.. few days back en suami bought a new weighing scale.. since the one yang ada memang dah bengong.. so sejak ada menda tu mmgla sangat ngeri bila tgk angka yang tertera..
dah nak buka sekolah ni baru nak mula rasa risau .. so baru nak mula joging la.. cut down calories la..tgk cd buat aerobic la.. paling geram semalam masa baru balik dari lunch , pening-pening so baring la kat sofa.. Bila Iman tgk dia cakap "mama ni asyik tido je.. tu perut mama boncit"..huhuuu.. apekah !!! macam la hari-hari itu je keja mama buat...

En suami memang sangat supportive bab-bab exercise ni.. selalu suruh google workout yang boleh buat.. tapi takat google ja la.. penuh dah desktop nih..
today masa petang .. masa nak pi joging.. en suami suruh bawak basikal dia.. suruh gi cuba-cuba.. walaupun dah berpuluh kali suruh naik.. so.. naiklah...ini kena paksa..

tapi si kecik pun sekarang aktiviti yang paling dia suka is membonceng abahnya naik basikal pegi taman.. abah terpaksa letak kiddy seat .. abah ngalahla.. takleh panjat2 bukit kat belakang tu dah..

so tadi.. mama round satu taman dalam 30 minutes la jugak.. alamak!! dah jatuh chenta ngan cycling lak plak.. ..seronok gak dapat makan angin sekali... balik rumah bagitau en suami " so lepas ni abah kenalah beli bicycle baru .. yang ni kasi mamalah ye!"

ni basikal yang saya cakap.. mulanya takada kiddy seat tu.. yang tu baru letak semalam...

yang ni pulak menda-menda workout yang ada kat rumah.. tali getah "bodoh" (that's what i call it) tu en suami bought with the weighing scale..nama dia gym in the pocket.. ada 99 activities leh buat ngan tali tu ikut manual dia..

ni takde kena mengena ngan tajuk.. tapi saja nak tunjuk..bought it a month ago.. murah sangat RM5.90.. ada playset..4 settings..siap ngan all the characters dalam Shrek The Third.

Setting 1

Setting 2

Setting 3

Setting 4

ni pulak buku yg baru beli kat MPH semalam.tak tahu kalu online ada disc. up to 40% huhu...yang bookmarks tu dah lama dah..saja nak tempek.. ada lagi few tp dah hilang separuh lagi ..pi mana ntah...satu rm1 ja!

asyik..

2008-12-24T17:58:00.005+08:00

sebab memang malas nak menulis dan membuang masa mengedit gambar itu ini.. blog terabai.. fp jangan katalah dah bersawang cicakman bagai.. sambil tu memang asyik melayan si ketet ni.. saya ingat lagi.. masa saya masih kecil , i was called mek ketet.. just because i was petite.. hehee..

recently iman has a new passion and it's drawing.. not only doodling.. she likes to draw and colour using water colour too. Both me and hubby are impressed to see the way she holds pencil and the sketch pad. at times she will ask her abah to draw some pictures of cat, house, car , tree but most of the time she will draw pictures on her own and illustrate them to us. Her passion in drawing shows when she is so obsessed with it..bangun pagi ja dah cari pen dan kertas nak lukis..

mr hubby, may be we could consider sending her to art or music class later!

another one!

pesanan penaja :ENTRY INI SESUAI DIBACA BERSAMA SEGELAS NESCAFE KAW!!!

My description of bieng a mother may not be similar to yours or other mothers' out there. Responsibilies and obligations will vary the descriptions and it is so subjective. For me, I am a mother of a sweet pea for the time being but at the workplace I am a mother of more that a hundred kids. Thus, a mother refers to anyone.

I was raised my grandma since I was a month old as my mom had to be apart from her family during her training. As far as I could remember, my brothers were taken cared by a nanny who lived near my house and grandma was keen of taking me with her. She died when I was 8 and the only person that I was closely attached to was my unmarried aunt who lived with grandma. The natural bond I had with both of them was more than enough for me to define them as mothers. When I was 10, my parents decided to take me with them as my mother had finished her training and she was lucky to be posted to the place she wanted and to be with her family. It was so difficult for me to adjust myself being in a 'new' family even though father made efforts by not separating me from them. At the end of the months he would take me to meet mother who came home every two weekends and my siblings.I had no objection but having to adapt my new life I made calls to my aunt everyday. Though I had only few years to stay with mother, I slowly became more affectionate to her before I stayed at hostel when I was in form four. When I got married and first became a mother, I tried to comprehend more and my descriptions of a mother deepened. Every mother has different situations and plays different roles. But it all varies widely. There may be obstacles, problems, joy and happiness along the way and you may think that I may only be boastful for sharing with you about raising a child who is only becoming 4 next year but the challenge I face expands what I think a mother means.

During my confinement, I was tested when Iman cried all night and it only resolved on the 34th day, and I finally believed what a houseman I met during the checkup told me "it happens to newborns during that period just to give an initial torture to the moms". So, anyone has the same nightmares? ;)

I have to admit that bringing up Iman is not that easy. It is not that I am not grateful for being blessed with the "gift".. I am and I really am. Yet, I am not complaining either. It is just that if in the future she happens to read this entry, I want her to know and feel how a mother sacrifices for her child. And after sometime, a mother is always a mother. You will be secured if you are with your mom. With no doubts, Iman is closer to me compared to en suami. I wasted money on stroller and buggy as she still clings to me when she is tired walking at the shopping malls.I am still sleepless when she is sick, and become sicker than her when I have to tolerate the state of being a freaking out mom and the thinking that her father can even snore!! Ouwhh!! bukan setakat tertido okay!!!

Until now, she still depends on me and thinking that the safest and the most secure place is to be next to mother, I can understand why she behaves such a way. Iman experiences disturbed sleep even until now. She was fully breastfed since her birth till she was nearly 3. Thank you the Almighty for that. She would wake up several times and I would go to rescue her till early morning when I had to get ready to school. She was finally forced to stopped having my BM when I was diagnosed with an abscess and the doctor gave a medicine to stop my BM production. She surrendered and i was relieved for a while, not because I could have sweet dreams but to be able to get a proper feeding with the support of the formula milk. Being a small eater like her, her weight gaining is pretty slow. I was happy at one time when she woke several times asking for milk . As long as she drinks well , lay the burden on me and I won't complain. At least she would have her stomach filled though she eats little food. But that did not last. She sometime refuses to drink milk at night now and beadtimes are still notoriously difficult ocassions for me and for her too . but not to en suami.hehehe..sorry abah!banyak dah termengata you malam ni!

The trials of broken nights she oftenly goes through worry me in much the same way as I am responsible for managing her feeding. When she is actively involves with her daily activities, surely she will be disturbed for few times. Imagine, she will cry with her eyes close for several times... "taknak yang tu..nak ikut..bukan..bukan!!" Aduhai anakku sayang. Sometime I am so angry especially when surviving to complete assignments or any JIT work! and sometime I laugh when hearing words she utters and at the same time bounce my eyes to whatever the father wis doing and let him catch me looking at him watching tv, sleeping or doing nothing than being a stoic statue!! :) alamak...ampun en suamiiiiii........

Apart from that I am bundled with worries about how she progresses and her upbringing. I believe every mom will want her child to receive the best and grow as a perfect person. A friend of mine who is an instant mother may also have the same feeling and I bet all moms do.
And being one, regardless the plights I face, I always hope to provide the best for my children and and guide them to be good muslims. When you are still a mother it is an endless tough job you commit but you will enjoy the moments. Just look at our mom. My mom will always entertain me the best she can whenever I go back to see her. I do not know whether I can be as strong person like her but I know that I can follow some.

And I hope one day I could take my mom to a spa ...while we are getting seaweed wraps, we would share our favorite memories of raising our own children. So friends, enjoy being a mom!!

Here is something to share :

Pool Party?

2008-12-03T14:51:00.008+08:00

KS invited us to have a simple breakfast by the pool side at her place last Monday...The mummies were all excited and planned to bake and cook itula inila . Yet, all turned up late with only breads and 'tapau' food! After the 'kejadian' we went to KS house and had our lunch there..KS baked Chicken Pot pies and they were yummy!! They children were happy. And Iman slept all the way back home.. penatla tu..

Thanks KS..Perhaps, we can do this again with other friends and kids..

ops! i did it again!!

2008-11-27T15:00:00.010+08:00

today, after finished my job, i decided to proceed to the nursery again to get the plants i wanted on Tuesday. I went straight to that particular one as i told myself "sudah-sudahla iza!" So after buying the plants and some bags of soil...dah.. terus! Sampai ja rumah, berkobar2...Using the strength to the max, i carried the plants out of the car! Gigih sungguh diriku!! I want the heliconias to cover the space behind the lily plants so that those from the roadside will not be able to see the inside of the house through the sliding door. So after this, its En Helmi's turn to plant them.Mak dah tak kuasa nak koreng lubang dalam-dalam..i also bought the menerong plants.. or Cyperus. Read more here . Kononnya that Cyperus yang nak diletakkan kat tempat heliconias tu.. tapi bila my friend kata macam beratuq menyanyi negaraku... terus tukar plan....ada lagi satu pokok yg dibeli.. tapi malas nak snap pic.. pokok yang orang letak kat bawah.. apa ntah nama dia... satu polybag cuma seringgit.. murahkan...

alkisahnya

2008-11-26T20:25:00.004+08:00

since many ask me how did i snaps those pics.. im explaining now that i do not have the dslr cam or any...and im still using my humble coolpix (Nikon s200 to be exact) and the same editing softwares , picasa and photoscape, as for that matter i'd like to thank farah yusri for introducing me to picasa and mrs noba for the photoscape.. it is just that i noticed some applications which are amazing.. takde duit nak beli dslr n superb lens..kat sini pun ade fisheye bagai.. cuma takla best sangat.. apart from that terjumpa yang best jugak..macam Photofunia and Picnik..semua ni best..cubala kawan2.. leh masuk effect macam2...

2 day trip

2008-11-23T17:51:00.007+08:00

the awesome scenery...

pics of the love ones...

being a housewife again!

2008-11-23T11:09:00.010+08:00

These are some pictures of our trip recetly. We went to JB to accompany en Helmi for a site meeting. Then Iman wanted to 'pasir-pasir' but there w nowhere in JB that we could find a place for that. Finally, her abah took us to a quite nice sandy beach in Malacca ; Pantai Puteri ti be exact. We slumbered at a resort there and came home the next day.

I did not write for quite some time. As i was busy with work and studies, I came by and read comments (kalau ade!) and went into others' to read their stories. But, i am with lesser work now since im enjoying both my school holidays and my semester break . Meanwhile, i'll be doing some boring job (as i mentioned earlier) until 4th Dec and I just knew that I have to attend a course at UM on the 1st. And being a housewife soon, I have all sorts of projects to be done in mind. Home improvement, self rejuvenating (hehhee), year end vacation, producing materials for DROP, going to UM for research topic and many more. I also hope to spend more time with the 'lil one. take her to pool, playground more often, 2 in 1 Ikea treat and lots of other things in the list. But after Aidil Adha , i might be leaving for sp for a week. Iman requests to be with Acha and Zarra and we plan to go to Langkawi ( hopefully this time jadi). And later, hope to have another one with mama's friends, aunty Mar, Jue, and Linda..maybe to Avilion PD.banyak nya acara nak jalan.. and not to forget, blogging! harap2 semuanya dapat dilaksanakan since mama is not going to touch any exam papers end of the year...yey! bye for now.. more pics on the way.. have to cook for lunch! bui bui..

the busy momma..

2008-11-09T11:07:00.006+08:00

i have been overloaded with heaps of things lately and there is another week to endure before the term ends.yerterday , as early as 8 a.m i was already at UM for the exams. then, at 2 i was suppossed to take Iman at the nersery, poor Iman, she had to go to 'school' as en Helmi was having a seminar. Since last year Iman was left home with her abah when i have evening classes during weekdays and weekend classes as well. Thank to en Helmi for being supportive and making no objection when i made a decision to go back to school. A friend of mind asked me the other day, why did I make a decision to continue studying? and another friend was being even more harsh by saying " buang masa je aku rasa"" Why are you furthering and yet your are a teacher , still" (freinds, this is to be addressed to that particular person only okay!) . I told my husband bout the sickening remark.. and I just kept quiet after that. I leave to others to make their own interpretations. It is just what i am doing and feel like doing. I may have reasons thet may not be others, but i hope I am coping well with it. My coursemates come from all sorts of background.Some even came from northern states, hundred miles away, sacrificing every weekend and own family just to be here.. and what surprised me is that they are bundled with many kids too! looking at their fatique faces, trying to catch up all the lectures, i am really amazed. they may not organize life efficiently and get things in order, may be not as perfect as other homemakers , but at least they are able to do multitasking.

So yesterday, Iman was already with her abah when i called, So i decided to stop at the overbridged R n R along my way home to have my lunch. I went straight to A&W kiosk for its rootbeer float and hotdog (aniq! when is our "Coney" time?) Before i went home , i was stopped by few kids on my way to the parking lot. These kids were selling calendars and other stuff, and they mentioned word "sedekah" to alarm others on buying. I stopped and asked them. "Ni dari mana?" they then introduced themselves from a prive islamic school. I was not shocked but could not tolerate with this activity at all. I came across some boys who were 8-11 years, selling cordials and many more in front of the hypermarket till late afternoon before they were picked up by their so alled "teachers" . and man, those kids were sent by their parents to study at a more decent place that the public schools.Yet, they have to persuade others to buy things and they called that their "aktiviti koko" i do not know how true is thatm They may be learning some human qualities or to value money, but what if these kids are your kids or brothers and sisters?

On top of that, these are some back dated picas i captured ... baru sempat upload!

jamuan perdana SU3

Iman took part for her nursery,masa rehersal tergolek atas stage.. nangis satu taman when abah said "Iman stage fright ke?" Nasib baik malam tu ok je..Iman ..Iman.

lintas langsung dari kampung

2008-09-30T02:53:00.004+08:00

i got back to SP last two days. my broadband was left untouched in my handbag. i am more excited to have long conversations with mum and also being a police pencen to interview my SIL on home affairs . Only after being texted by this makcik dc this evening , her message reminded me to my humble blog.. so..update la apa yang patut!!

this year i have chances to have iftar with the whole family for few days since we have a long break before raya. Not like last year, this is the best time for family gatherings. This year the joy is more as all the cucus are here to entertain ; including 'lil Zara. And all of us are taking the great opportunities to enjoy our mom's cooking and having all our favourite dishes cooked by the great chef.. hari -hari just name them... My dad requests a pre Raya photoshoot, maybe tommorow since DD and family are going to celebrate raya at Simpang Pulai this year..

acha , iman and zara

i have not yet been to the town ever since i got back to SP.. this year the traffic is said to be heavier than the previous years...to buy things i rather go to the nearby supermarket which takes me only 5 mins drive. Luckily all the preparation was done before coming back here. Tonite, we thought of giving a try to enter the town area..(near the clock tower) yet, we had to cancel due to the bad weather since morning. So mom cooked friend mee and we had a chat, (we even came out with political issues)

this evening after iftar, i managed to forgather some of my childhood friends.. the same faces turned up , but this year Shibrah joined us with her loyal husband and talkative son. En Helmi surrender bab join kaum perempuan bergather-gatheran... We had great time..going down memory lane and exchanging stories on lives and families.. i looked so chubby in the photo..it was the only one yang dapat diselamatkan... ( mar is still available..anyone's interested???)

i just realized that my Iman is still a baby.. just do not know when she could adjust herself to be independent without me ( i got to rush home after receiveing a call telling that she cried wanting me to cuddle her when she wanted to sleep) Her abah was noone to help me out with. i also noticed that she cannot let go things when 'lil Zara tried to get them from her... bila agaknya dia nak "beralah' ni ..though she always claims that she is already "kakak kecik"

i'll update more on our Raya celebration later ya!!

tayangan lagi...

2008-09-25T11:13:00.006+08:00

kali ini tayangan makanan lagi...mungkin lepas ni takde lagi entry tayang menayang juada berbuka..sebab mama dah bz mengemas..nak balik kampung...

yang ini buat semalam..cilok resepi dari Myresepi.net setelah tercabar melihat hasil tangkapan si Nita Almari Resepi. kesimpulannya.."Memang Berbaloi!!" (alamak macam motto Kamdar)

yang ni pulak kuih Kalakatar... tertelan air liur tengo Majalah 3..terus google resepi... saya bukan orang Banjar.. taktaulah nak kata sedap tak sedap..tak biasa makan sebelum ni ..tapi takla menghampakan.

Yang ni juadah lain..nasik ja yang goreng sendiri..selebihtu..guna khidmat pakar jari telunjuk dan makcik kantin sekolah...

Lagi dua hari nak sekolah...lagi tak sampai seminggu nak tinggalkan Ramadhan..sedih rasanya...tak tahulah tahun depan sempat jumpa lagi tak...

dari kami sekeluarga

2008-09-20T18:37:00.003+08:00

It may be too early....
tapi sebelum terkalut membuat persiapan balik kampung....
yehhaaa!!!

ada budak sangat teruja

2008-09-18T19:55:00.008+08:00

an outing to the nearby supermarket brought a huge smile not only to me but to my si kecik Iman. I finally found a pair of Raya shoes for her after a long search last week. She was so excited to put on those mary jane..sampaikan ke PaRam pun dah rasmi dulu...Thanks to KS for the idea of going to the mall. And Weeweed for accompanying.

as abah was having his iftar at S Subang with his officemates and boss, we snapped some picas of her with her shoes and send to his phone.

these few things made her got carried away too...

i) bunga api.. ( ni cari satu damansara...akhirnya jumpa di param..rasa mahal gila..rm10 per box..dahla kurus keding isi dalamnya..sebab dia nak sangat menda ni..belila...)

ii) BA doughnut

yummy!yummy!

sad stories..

2008-09-14T21:29:00.010+08:00

first story

something bad had just happened to my mum back in SP. she has bruises at some part of her body, and more aroud her neck ; she was watering plants when a stranger came from the back , at the garden beside my house. She noticed and ran to the gate to shout for help..she was too unlucky to fall in front of the gate when the stranger snatched her necklace. It was quiet hard to break so he pulled roughly and my mum was helpless at that time. Noone was around and my dad was inside the house. Lepas makhluk laknat tu dah ambil the necklace , he ran off to get his friend who was waiting at the roadside. It was a quick scene and my mum said it took less than 3 minutes and she could only burst out for help five minutes later after she could finally calmed down herself. My brother took my mum to the nearby police station to make report but no clues was told. She did not even look at the men or the bike.. I was told by my brother only few hours after the incident. My parents did not want to tell me.. when i gave a call, siap cakap .."mana ada!!" hai..mama...mama...

Dulu dah pernah jadi... 3 tahun lepas.. I was accompanying my mum to buy some groceries for Raya.. I managed to pull my mum, and she was safe without any injury and her handbag was with her too. and again .. this year jadi gak kat mama... i told her to be more carefull... manusia2 yang takbertanggungjawab ni mintak dilaknat Allah.. sorry for the cruel wish.. nk cari jalan mudah dapatkan duit raya.. and yang paling menyedihkan.. they are MALAYS!!

second story

entah kenapa.. i got this swollen toe.. when i woke up for sahur i noticed that one of my toes was swollen and i could not even throw a step. in tremendous pain, I woke up to go to UM as i could not bear being absent from classes anymore. I had classes from 8 till 5 and i said to myself that i had to attent the three classes by any means..this semester, i had missed many already ..apa taknya ada ja aktiviti kat sekolah...so en helmi took me to UM and fetched me up later. It was hard for me to walk..inagtkan takdelah sakit sangat..rupa2nya..hanya Allah yang tahu...Who would have thought a lousy toe can cause so much pain to me...nasib baik ada lift. Before iftar at my ILs , we went to the clinic and i seriously did not know what to tell the doctor.. as far as i could recall, no hard thing fell on it and it had only been achy once i woke up that morning. The doctor gave me medicine to subside the swelling and some pain killer for joints.. he could not predict more.."Awak ada Gout Ke?""Uik!!apekah??""tak pernah dalam sejarah..""alahan ?""Kot kat jari satu tu je.." "adoi!!!" so i spent all night off my feet and napping... nasib baik Iman tak buat hal...the pain is still there...kalau tak dapat jalan..macam mana nak drive g sekolah esok... ayork..and abah is going to JB again on Tuesday...huhuuu

mesin jahit oh mesin jahit

2008-09-10T16:19:00.009+08:00

When I was 8, I always followed my aunt to her 'kelas menjahit' organized by Kemas at my grandma's village. Not only being a company, i also learnt something from it. In fact, i could do simple stiching and crochetting. Manantah letak bekas galas tumbler yang saya buat masa darjah 4. Later, i got more excited and started to sew mom's curtain or even for my own wedding..

When i just got married , i used to bring clothes that need alteration to my IL's as i did not have any sewing machine at that moment. or even got my friend to cut the clothes for my skirt and i would do the sewing. As my MIL saw me being so 'chentha' to sewing..,she bought me one as a present. She even showed me how to cut a baju kurung.(MIL sews her children's dresses, shirts or even baju Melayu) Ingat lagi beriya2 i menulis... kunon lepas ni nak buat a baju sendiri..huh... akhernya,..berbalik kepada kemahiran yang satu itu.. i am only capable of sewing curtains.. nothing other than that.. plus.. i do not have the patience..masalah nya... and of course the major factor is MALAS!!adala...satu dua yang dijahit...

So... i'm not good but i can.. minggu lepas...ada beli satu curtain.. a simple string curtain.. tapi takde loops untul masuk dalam rod..so masuk store cari mesin jahit yang dah berabuk ni ...since i moved into the house, takpenah pegang sekali pun lagi...

sekejap je.. dah siap... so nita.. takyah tabik spring!!

malam ni and so on kena la berjaga..bawak ke sahur....3 assignment menunggu untuk direscue sblum ujung minggu ini.. tolooooongggggggggg

bulan menayang makanan

2008-09-09T15:37:00.013+08:00

bukan selalu pun dapat post entry yang yummyliciuos ni..bulan ni je la dapat tayang2 makanan hasil air tangan sendiri. itupun selalunya awal2 Ramadhan je.. so, tumpang tengah excited.....

I had a staff meeting yesterday and it finished at about 3.40p.m. Then i rushed to the nearby KA and bought some groceries and got home. Macam cerita thre stooges, i prepared all of these and stopped cooking at about 6.30p.m fuh!! Berjaya jugak akhernya!!ni ha..... the menu for yesterday's iftar.

roti jalan ni agenda the day before... kurang lawa...practice makes perfect beb!!..

sapa kat sini sayang kat jiran?? I love my neigbours too. I mean i maintain a good rapport with them.. so bulan puasa ni apa lagi.. panjang2kan lah juadah ke rumah2 depa.. my main issue is not concerning the food at all. I have this one kind neighbour who lives just next to my house. Masa baru2 pindah lagi.. saya dah cuak.. who are my neighbours.. ye la..rumah intermediate.. what do you expect? nak tak nak you have no choice other than just have them..makcik tak mampu nak beli bungalow... so yang sorang di sebelah kiri ni ok la.. infact budaya kejiranan tu masih wujud such as sembang2 and julor2 makanan.. but another one ni..memang takpernah jumpa..sebab tak duduk lagipun.. the house were still under renovation when we moved into ours. Pernah la terserempak sekali dgn owner.. so we exchanged smile and that's it. Hari ke hari.. saya jadi lemas... ye la.. rumah yang ditambah tu tak habis2 buatan nya.. kelekong..kelekong.. even on public holiday pun we were disturbed by noises.. tapi itu biasa la.. tetiba.. berenti ..lama la jugak rumah tu terbiar..saya selalu jadikan petunjuk kalu tetamu datang kat rumah "Sebelah rumah tak siap tu..bla..bla.." Leaps tu sambung sikit-sikit.. at one time sangat nak marah.. org yg tebuk lubang kat rumah dia sampai tertebuk ke rumah saya.. besar jugak.. about palm size..dah tu buat dek...je..until i asked hubby to tell them..baru nak datang palster balik our side.

dinding kat tangga saya habis berkulat..sebab the other side of it terdedah...agak a month later, kerja2 disambung semula..and lagi la..mula balik debu2...takpa la adatla debu2 tu...

yang saya nak marah lagi.. habis genting rumah kena simen.. samapi hubby mintak tolong cuci.. joining anatra rumah dia ngan rumah saya dia plaster tapi amsih ada lubang2 yang tak dicover. Suami saya ni penyabar... dia kata biarlah.. nanti kita betulkan.. dia ada naikkan wall kat pagar dia.. and plasterkan our part..itu je la.. jadi ayat hubby nak compensate ngan ape yang dia buat.. dah tu.. bila saya cat our side.. kenala cat semula..sebab dah meleleh2 simen ke dinding tu.. jatuh simen sampai kat pebbles..... memang workers dia semua buat kerja serabai ja...

pastu kadang2... plastik air, puntung rokok, polystyrene makanan..terbang ke halaman rumah kita.. Ada satu hari tu batu bata saya yang buat kepung pokok kat luar kena kebas..ingatkan budak2 main kat kawasan lapang.. rupanya dah diambil diorang untuk water feature kat taman dia.. eee...nak rumah dia ja lawa.. dah tu digantikan ngan bata kat pokok saya.. ni kerja In### worker dia la ni..

dah tu sekarang ni dah habis renovation.. and ready for them to move in.. malaslah nak ngumpat pasai rumah dia and so on.. lantaklah.. tapi yang sakit hati lagi.. dia turapkan jalan rumah dia and ada baki tar dalam 1 baldi.. balik kerja tengok...sakit mata.. tau tak kat mana dia tuangkan balance tu.. kat rumput tepi rumah saya... kureng betoiiii....

tadi saya geram jugak.. ada lori angkat barang depan rumah dia.. napak tong banyak... polytyrene lapik tv dia biar terbang2 masuk longkang rumah saya... dua lagi.. so apa yang saya buat was.. amik menda alah tu and went straight to the gate and nampak ada pekerja dia ..and terus cakap "jap gi buang ni ye.. terbang merata-rata dalam longkang la" owner dia ada tengok kat situ..nasibla... dah la longkang yang hubby and neighbours lain cucikan masa gotong royong tu dah penuh dengan pasir balik... satu lagi yang lagi buat hati saya bengkek is this neighbour said to my hubby earlier on.."saya ada dua ekor serigala"...yes..serigala.sila terkejut...Adoi mak.. eloo brother... rumah awak kat tengah2.. jenuhla melalak... dahla..porch tu takseberapa besar..unless if your house is a corner lot..tolonggggggg..

i heard from my hubby that they are moving in this weekend.. tengokla apa yang akan berlaku nanti.

TAMAT IKLAN BERBAYAR

so...sebab dah berhempas pulas memadu tenaga yesterday.. hari ni pagi-pagi lagi cakap kat en helmi.."Abah, petang ni goi Pasar Ramadhan je la ek..I nak jahit curtain..." KUNONNNN (iuhh!! ye ke jahit curtain..ni kat sini lagi niha....) Jommmm!!!..mari menjahit curtain ..

natural gas for vehicle

2008-09-07T22:50:00.008+08:00

en helmi had been complaining a lot since he had to pay more to feed his car.. for milage alone he had to pay around rm200 per week and if he had to go for meetings he had to top up another 100 bucks..macam saya ni munkin tak rasa sangat...apart from his rungutan he also discussed on having a new car..as his boss offered him free interest car loan and that really tempted him to get his dream car.. still..our discussion on new car went on until last week,he told me that he had changed his plan..

en helmi :No more buying new car for the time being..i ingat nak pakai je keta ni.. since Iman sorang je pun kat belakang.. there's not yet a reason for a bigger car

me : i tak kisah..ikut you la.. tapi nanti lagi mahal kot

en helmi : pakai je la kereta ni..

me : tapi kereta u ni nanti jatuh value dia..(ayat dulu..hehh)

en helmi : alah...memang bila2 pun harga kereta akan jatuh..

me : takpe la kalu susah2 i bayar la half..since everything u dah bayar..kereta i pun dah lama habis bayar..

en helmi : tak yah..ke you malu bawak keta i.. as for now..i have no problem with the car...

me : eh..mane ade..kalu malu..keta i pun lagi buruk..(huhu...sori dear..apapun u memang banyak berjasa)

en helmi: okay kalu macam tu weekend i nak hantar g pasang NGV'.

me : ye ke bah.. takyah Q bagai..

en helmi : tak..ini tempat member..

so....

semalan kereta dah siap pasang itu natural gas... abah test tgok..bawak merata2...tadi tinggal 1 bar..tapi excited nak g masukkan gas... tambah lagi another 3 bars..and guess how much does it cost for that 3 bars........RM5 je!! menakjubkan.. full tank is like rm8 only and bole lari around 180km...jakun sekejap kami dua orang..so lepas ni boleh la selalu2 balik kg, gi cuti-cuti Malaysia..merendek..bla..bla....

saja nak kasi asap itu dapur...

2008-09-07T13:34:00.013+08:00

bulan puasa ni semangat berkobar-kobar nak masak... kat skul everyone is exchanging recipes, tak cukup tangan salin, print terus je..pastu pakat2 nitik air lior.. dengan menu itu la ini la.. dah tu.. kalau sorang sebarkan resepi mesti nak cube buat.. yang otai2 macam KS and KI okayla .. tapi yang handicap macam kitorang ni excited bagai nak rak.. sampai ada one teacher cakap "macamla sebelum ni tak masak..." hehh..memang pun... kalu bulan puasa boleh bilangla berapa kali dalam satu bulan berapa kali berasap dapur saya.. tu pun abih disedut cookerhood.. so semangat waja nak memasak tu datang time2 ramadhan ni... lagipun petang asyik ujan ang going to PaRam during rainy day is really tak menarik.. mana nak pegang payung, beg plastik lagi.. cik kecik lagi..adoi... minggu lepas dapat satu resepi buat jemput-jemput dari KT... wah wah.. satu skul dah mula membuat ini jejemput... so bloggers.. marila cuba.. saya dah buat..sodap...

pastu dok menggodek la mana2 resepi yang sedap di mata.. kat almari resepi ni jugak la yg chek telioq.. awat taknya... si Nita mmemang pakar bab2 menembak.. kasi orang mau makan itu jam jugak..sib baik posa... so terai la dia punyak masak ijau ini.. my i used ikan merah instead of pari.. tak jalan sangat kat rumah ni.. so inilah dia... cuma mr abah said "ni masak apa ni??" (he's gud at doing this) saja la tu...he said he likes more in red ..takpe abah..next time kite wat merah berapi lak!!!! kudesar diri serba..kekurangan..ops..

yang ini sayur pucuk paku goreng belacan......satu pinggan licin...udang kering lebih!!

dah tu desert nya apanya..ni ha... bubur jagung.. dicilok ilham almari resepi walaupun tiada resepi disitu.... tapi akak terlebih sagu.. di akhir iftar..sudah jadi puding jagung!!senduk tak turun2...hehhh...sorriii bah..instead of dua sudu.. i masukkan semangkuk...

si kecik Iman paling enjoy didapur.. mana taknya.. mama ada satu packet tepung yg terbiar hari tu.. lupa nak tutup..malas nak buang.. setiap kali she 'help' me at the kitchen..mamapun bancuh tepung kasi jadi dough...iman memang suka jadi makcik-makcik ni... siap amik order lagi..."roti canai satu dik!!"

hari ini apa acara.. kami makan kat rumah.. semalam balik Rawang..terus hadap je... a day before buka kat kopitiam.. bulan2 posa ni cam tak sedapla pulak kat situ.. so.. hari ini..sudap menyoping barang basah... rasa2nya dah ada dalam kepala menunya..."roti jala.....lagi.....kari ikan bawal putih....lagi..... cempedak goreng...lagi...air socau ...iuhhh sedap tuh...harap-harap jangan lari ke PaRam lak petang ni...hiks!

So, early in the morning kalut dok pikir to whom should i pass the kuah kacang..

Early morning tommorow en Helmi is going down to the south ..again.. :( ..now that he has to be there on every last Thursday of the month... yang bosannya dalam banyak2 hari kenapala hari itew yang depa pilih for meeting..macam tau-tau ja yang saya ada class di UM malam tu.. so keinginan untuk menjadi co pilot mmg terkubur begitu saja..jadi..si kecik Iman has to be sent to tok and wan's house @ Rawang before he pushes off to Johor tommorow morning..kelas saya habis at 9...tak sampai hati pulak nak biar di nursery sampai lewat malam with her condition now..so esok malam terus ke sana and we'll be staying there until mr abah comes home...hajat nak berleisure-leisure Jumaat ni terpaksala dibatalkan...kawan-kawan teruskanlah perjuangan itu..dengar cerita ke JTAR...betul ke event planner?

our journey

2008-08-16T10:53:00.004+08:00

i am having my masters class now. while my classmate is presenting his assignment i take this opportunity to blog. well, this is one of the drawbacks internet can provide.hehh..i had done mine just now.. school holidays is here..and tomorrow my little Iman and I will cruise back to SP..hehe on the road je pun.. i told en helmi the idea of traveling by bus since Iman is big and we should expose her to the advanturous life. I read about Sue who had a great experience to her destination by bus last month and im impressed. So i asked en helmi to get the tickets and he finally get them for us . I used to choose plane when en. helmi was not able to send us to nanny's house. She would be looking at the clouds and i would tell her story on them(bab jadi tukang karut memang expert mama ni...) until we reached the airport pun dia tak sedar...

Since going back to my hometown is a must agenda when school holiday approaches, kenala balik jugak..heheh..... So, I told Iman about it and this girl is really excited over the news. It is going to be her first experience and due to this she has came out with a list of things to bring with her.And being a mom of an active kid like her, i am truly worried whether she can bear the 6 hour journey and i can retain her calmness on the bus...will she be able to behave throughout the journey? How if she gets bored?....

well... i'll let you know then..

happy birthday abah!

2008-08-13T10:17:00.003+08:00

it was en Helmi's birthday yesterday. I managed to find some crabs and decided to cook our favourite chilli crab.. dah lama dok mengidam crab ni..last2 jumpa yang quite fresh. i fried some butter prawns (ikut recipe @ sudipkayu - to Nita, i did the crispy egg twice..mula2 hancus..second time bolela...) Iman was so excited as usual..so last nite's dinner was complete,siap pencuci mulut lagi..as en helmi does not like cake, so i bought a small simple cake... to abah, "Happy Birthday , thanks for being with me patiently through out the journey.Ur presie KIV dulu ek.."

delicious

2008-08-13T09:29:00.006+08:00

I am at school now..my two buddies in crime are not here. they are away for a 3 day course. other teachers are having their class and at the moment im alone in the staff room. this computer is becoming slow day by day. maybe its because of the load it has to bear. i store all sort of things and junk in it. and having little time to do the housekeeping, the space in it is getting smaller and smaller. while waiting for some downloads and uploaads,i switch to this blog to update. Banyak nak cerita but malas nak cerita..camna tu...anyway, the photo was taken during my weekly (tiap2 minggu ke?) with my colleagues at OU last Friday.

p/s : "Ar! I tak ambil gambar u la that day!"

how i wish to have extra energy and time...

2008-08-10T15:05:00.010+08:00

im being extra busy nowadays...work at school, assignments and presentation, chores at home...argh!! Banyaknya!!

if i could make some wishes today, here is my wish list :

i) get a maid

it may not be practical for my small family..en helmi said he might feel so uncomfortable with an outsider in our home..and for the time being im still coping though not so well with housework.maybe i'll think about having one when iman has adiks later..leaving iman alone with maid pun dah memeningkan kepala nak fikir...but if only i have an assistant to maintain my house clean.and to do all the laundry and manage the wardrobe get the clothes lipat..(menda paling menyampah di donia)and iron..fuhhh..best kan..

ii) extra hours a day

not to be too demanding, i wish to only have 30 hours a day!this is because my husband always complains and his favourite line is "Orang lain pun ada 24 jam gak sehari". So, to run things well..i need extra time so that i also have time for myself too.

iii) extra energy..

i bought this to keep myself energetic through out my hectic day.. when im full with deadlines, i can still stay up till till early morning,i guess the pills i take help me to keep awake. Yet, i still hope to get extra strength and energy.not to be superwoman. but to be able to do all things i m suppossed to do.

after all, im still doing fine..bearable la still... walaupun tak sempat nak update blog, basuh baju bayak trips, lipat kain berbakul2, habiskan assignments, tak tido malam, bla..bla...bla...

gambar-gambar pesanan penaja dan anaknya.....

iman gaya hilarious kununnya...

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced;
but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

Teringat balik poem ni masa belajar dulu.i must say that i have always loved the poem very much. i called it the daffodils' poem.it's a beautiful poem and we did so many activities with only the poem in literature class.... i really enjoyed the class that year . just imagine, having a lecturer with only a mug in his hand.. he could carry out his lesson well and appreciate literature with only that teaching aid! to Mr Neck, wherever you are...you're simply the best!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

how am i doing with the kids? those kids...i mean..

they are behavioring better after the incident..but they did not confess anything of their wrongdoings ever since....and i'll move on. i did not bother to react more on the letter i got... jangan terpedaya...haha..i should have written "apekah?" at the bottom of the letter in my last entry. sila baca dialoq di bawah untuk penilaian...

selepas salah satu adegan kurang beradab yang dilakukan saya keluar dari kelas itu....

pelajar A :cikgu..mintak maaf...saya insaf cikgu bila cikgu cakap camtu..(sambil mengahalang perjalanan saya ke bilik guru)

saya : boleh tak beri laluan ..saya nak lalu

pelajar B : sorryla cikgu...cikgu..say dah sedar ni cikgu..(sambil senyum..senyum)

saya : saya kan tak layak ajar awak...kan awak semua dah pandai...saya ni sapa..kan

pelajar A : ala cikgu...janganla macam ni..

saya : dah..dah ..pegi balik kelas ...

tau tak apa budak-budak tu cakap...

"ala cikgu.. takkan nak suruh kitorang nyanyi lagu maafkan kami dulu baru nak maafkan

kot"..sambil gelak...

nampak sangat depa ni tak sincere minta maaf..saja nak tambah kemarahan..

to all yang comment kat entry lepas, Thanks tapi kali ni nak buat pandai..je! takyah ambik pot
sangat surat tu..again pinjam ayat intan"apekah??" (in, koyak buku subject ape la tu,ek)

seminggu lepas sangat penat..banyak kerja, presentation la..itula...sampai tak sempat nak masuk entry pasai yang bawah ni...

mama ammar, datang awal2 pagi depan rumah to drop a presie for cik iman...thanks in, anakku sangat sibuk menjadi mak andam lepas dapat itu patung..dia ni rasanya paling banyak dolls and doctor set..tapi memang dua menda tu dia suka...jadi doctor and jadi mak jaga adik..sekarang hari2 suka doodle and baca buku..yang banyaknya mamanya kena dera jadi non stop storyteller!LOL

iman senyum sampai telinga ....pagi2 dapat hadiah...

the sequel

after writing such a long confession of a broken hearted teacher, i told myself to not to scribble about it anymore. Why am i adding in another "buang karan" matter to my restless mind. So, after a long break i was alarmed, just because i have to see those queasy faces again!! Oh! tidak.....

I entered the class,pretending to be normal though cant help the bad feeling i have inside..masuk saja kelas, i asked those sitting beside the windows to get up from their chair and let those ungrateful kids to fill up their places.. then, before continue teaching i said " okay, awak semua boleh tengok luar waktu saya mnegajar ni..tengok-tengokla kereta sapa lampu pecah, tayar kurang bunga ke, pintu terbuka ke..." then i continued my lesson.. while discussing, i pretended not to see some who tried to be in the group, responded with their other friends, copied the notes i gave and completed the task i gave even i there were few of these unwanted kids did not bother to even take a glance at me teaching..mungkin nak tengok sejauh mana saya boleh pergi...takpela..biarkan... before the class ended, one of the kids i mentioned in my last entry came to me to apologize but i ignored and asked him to get back to his place... the lesson was on a prose and the theme was on "menginsafi kesalahan" so sangat parerell sekali.

The week before , i was relief to know my load of teaching this subject was being reduced. the new teacher who got transfered to my school took one of the class i handled..despite that, i'm still teaching the one which is more problematic!! And , this afternoon, after steping out of the territory, i was at least happy to know majority of the kids are still showing their respect even they receive many unplasant examples from their friends....

I went home at about 17hours this afternoon, trying to get some work done for next week event and a presentation for my masters class this Thursday. When i was walking towards the car i saw a note sticked to my windscreen and here it is ....

a doleful day

2008-07-16T23:14:00.008+08:00

AMARAN!!!

ENTRY INI SANGAT PANJANG. ANDA BOLE HABISKAN MEMBACA BEBBERAPA EPISODES ATAUPUN KALAU MALAS TAK PAYAH BACA!!!

Today the school was less clamorous as students are sitting for their monthly test until tomorrow. And as a teacher, being able to see students answering the papers smoothly allows some composure in me. I never have a single thought of laying myself onto this grown but my intentions grow in me everyday i walk into classes, i keep hoping the knowlegde i instill will perk their head up.But having verbally notorious kids with empty minds is really sickening and enough to spoil your day. I may not be seen as a barbarious or even a wolfish teacher, infact i dont want to be one. I always want to provide a condusive atmosphere and creating an enjoyable classroom experience everytime they are in my class. But as a human being, my patience is been tested by a bunch of rottens(sorry to say that), not only once but more.

People may think that being a teacher, you have to be an all rounder; a role model, an educator, a facilitator, a counselor, a perfect moulder, and many more. If you fail to be one of the list, you are not a good exemplar. Working with expectations from many angles drives you insane and having to deal with difficult and problematic clients are really railroad disasters!

In my previous entry, i wrote on some kids i had to handle in my previous school (check here). And again as you move along, you may still face the similar characters who make you want to stop in the middle of your journey without any reason. And because of your noble intentions, you still have to stand up to thier misbehaviour and proceed.

My experience with one group of students currently is a major annoyance to me.Everytime entering their class, i pray to God to give me extra strength to refute their verbal horseplay that i sometime burst my anger and spoil the whole lesson. In addition, i earnestly hope that they would stop their misdoing and be more serious in learning. Some scenes i experienced with them were really heartaching and being a mother, you might not want to imagine your children would do this to their teacher.

A scene took place months ago. I was supposed to return the students' first monthly test paper. This set of students knew that the subject was not my major and i was supposed to replace their former teacher who got promoted with a bigger post. As i was explaining the answers a boy who turned up to be so talkative in the class was disturbing some of his 'follower' with some jokes. So, i shouted at him, " Awak dengar elok-elok, nanti saya suruh buat pembetulan awak tak tahu jawapan yang betul" So, he kept quiet for a while until not so long, another boy in his group questioned me " Cikgu, apasal jawapan saya salah ni. Betul la saya jawab"I replied , " Pn. R yang tanda kertas ni bukan saya, jadi kalau awak tak puas hati jumpa dia."

To my surprised , he uttered to himself but still reachable to my ears "Bangang!!" I could not believe my ears to hear such word coming out from a student's mouth to a teacher. Then, i asked him " Eh! Apa awak cakap tadi? Siapa bangang?awak ke saya?" He synically replied "heh..saya cikgu" I was really pissed off at the moment, my face turned red and my heart wrecked on the spot. For years i have been teaching, dealing with students with different attitudes and backgrounds, that was the first time i was labelled with the word. Dah la baru Form 4, dah ingat besar sangat. Immediately after i heard his reason, i gnored him even i was still mad at him.I then asked the students to take out their Literature book and read a prose. Again i was attacked by the boy before (apa masalah dia ni pun taktau)"Cikgu i cakap tak hape ntah, tadi cakap nak buat pembetulan..ni nak baca puisi plak" In rage, i counted him back "Ada saya cakap buat lepas ni? takkan.Saya cakap buat nanti. Nanti tu esok ke, lusa ke, 10 tahun lagipun boleh terima pakai,paham?!" I could not rebut more and i found it was pointless to react such way, so i left the whole class with a remark that day " Awak ni, kalau nak jadi kurang ajar, siapa-siapa pun boleh jadi....bukan kena bayar pun . Tapi sebab tak semua orang bodoh untuk buat perangai macam tu". It was the most atrocious teaching experience!

Dealing with sick minds like them who thought they are smart but they are not!! I used to teach a "corot" class before and they did not show any disrespect towards me at all. My problems with those kids were their laziness and their level which is too weak.

As days pass by, I tried to turn a blind eye to those sickening characters and I told myself , " as long as i play my role and serve my duty right, lets the luncais be with thier labus,pedulikan" Somehow i did not want to yell and nag as it was not fair for those who wanted to learn. Alhamdulillah, i managed to handle situations until i turned to a blast (again!) yesterday.

I was busy marking the students book. Since they were going to have the test, i thought the notes and exercise might be useful references for them. It was raining heavily outside and a boy shouted from the back of the class.."cikgu ..tingkap kereta cikgu tak tutup rapat..nanti basah" and another boy agreed" ya la cikgu..nanti basah la s***ia tu, ke cikgu nak beli kereta baru?"One of their friend said " biar saya yang tutup cikgu, saya ada sapu tangan, nanti basah cikgu" So this boy dashed to me get the car key but i wanted to do it on my own.I went outside and when i was at the corridor, i saw the window screen was nicely screened up and a boy cried "bang,bang boom!!!" although they were trying to make silly joke, it was really testing my nerve. i could not think for a while, facing the fact that i was being humillated by them..Saya bedal sakan jugak budak-budak ni until the teacher next door could hear me being mad at them. "Saya tak redho ilmu yang saya ajar pada awak" Itu ayat saya pada budak-budak ni. It happen so that the same group of students are making problems again and again.

I remember the pricipal reminded us not to use unpleasant words with kids, but that was intolerable (Thank God that 4 letter word did not come out from my mouth)I went back to my sit and decided to not continue marking. i left the books and before i went out, i told them " Orang macam awak ni la yang menjatuhkan bangsa awak sendiri. Kalau saya kata ibubapa awak yang buatkan awak jadi kurang ajar, tak adilla pulak. Saya pasti mereka menangis kalau tahu mereka ada anak yang kurang ajar macam awak semua. Saya takmau cakap lebih , cuma saya harap anak-anak saya tak buat kurang ajar pada cikgu mereka nanti..Ingat "What goes around will come around!!" i get off and did not have a heart to say more or even look at their faces. I may not leave their test paper untouched, i may still perform as it is my resposibility. But my patience has come to its limit. They have been too much. I will react as cold as i can. If only i could sack them out of my class...

iman's birthday part II

2008-07-13T01:09:00.008+08:00

though it might look so small...
it was abig one for her....

the goodies...
the cakes...
the cuppies...
the birthday girl...
the gang...

when iman was first left at the daycare, it was just opened for a week..and now its been nearly 9 months of operating, and she was among the first in the group.there are only 28 kids but most of them are babbies..

p/s : thanks aunty yatt for the nice cuppies and cake.

it's the 'lil miss's birthday

2008-07-09T13:27:00.006+08:00

iman had her 3rd birthday yesterday. She was really carried away with her big day. Since i started sending her to nursey she would come home everyday with questions like " Iman ni bila birthday mama?" " Iman ade bithday tak?" especially when she brought home the goodies from other kids. So when her abah replied " birthday Iman 8hb 7" her next endless question is " dah 8hb 7 ke mama?" Adoi...

So yesterday, the day had finally arrived! early in the morning she woke up and i told her about it. And that evening , after work i packed all the goodies and the cake and the cuppies of her favourite characters and drove to her nursery. Iman was waiting for me when i arrived there...That small and simple celebration was great enough to put a big smile on her face.
After had a talk with her abah, we have decided not to give her another celebration after the one she had at the daycare. Reason being, all her friends at the neighbourhood are those she has there. Lagipun en helmi is quite busy lately and we cant think of any other ocassion to be held at home after the house warming last month. I'm thinking of having another small celebration with only her and her abah this weekend.Tengoklah kat mana nanti..

p/s : the pictures will be uploaded later...im in UM and my class is going to start any time now.. cioawww

well, why is life so difficult sometimes? Is it because we have created it that way that make it so pathetic? Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges and somehow you have to keep on moving. Thank God, my life is still managable though i have received comments and critiques at workplace lately. The environment is pretty demotivating and the whole bunch of panel members are being splashed by unpleasant rumours!And gosh!!its all about US!! Adoiiii! Apart from those, i hope my KP will still strong.."Sorry Sis, kerana susu sebelanga rosak nila setitik,ahaks!! and to my other panel members..Stay focus!!only you know you're doing the best for the kids!

Sometimes its really heartbreaking to be in this line, though they say its a noble profession...you teach those who refuse to be taught, you are forced to transform yourself into a moduled model, you are lift up only by doing deeds to others, threatened by certain rules and expectations..but, you cant runaway from them for those are the facts of life..after all, the only principle that im still holding is sincerity...i have been sincere and hope to keep being sincere to pour all the knowledge i have, to touch the kids' heart will all my heart(i pray this every day i enter the classes) ,and to give the best i can..abeit im facing all the obstacles along the journey.

My masters classes begin this week and i registered for 3 subjects this semester.The schedule is a bit tight this sem since i have one class on Thursday night (im having a full blast at school on the same day too!!) and another two on Saturday...hopefully i can muddle through . ;)

my sun shiny day!!

with her new 'bandung' tee (Thanks Aunty Sya)

my baby...

2008-06-25T18:26:00.015+08:00

alhamdulilah semalan she's safe n sound though her mama was sleepless.. so this morning , woke her up and terus lah brought her to my school.. as promised ..seronok sangat Iman...sampai je kat school everyone noticed and they were asking me what had happened to this young lady's chin.even the students who saw her asked the same question. i had to enter two classes today and one relief class i got this morning ...so i dragged her into the first one.. 'bribing' her with a cd on from my lappy as she sat on the teacher's chair.. for the first 5 minutes she was showing her shy face as all the "abang-abang'" kept making sounds, calling her 'adik..adik' and macam2.. i managed to get her attention back to the cd and later she wanted me to accompany her viewing...alahai... when i ignored her and kept going on with my teaching, she came to me..wanted to cling herself to me...i finally continued the lesson with her in my arm.sebelah tangan lagi memegang buku...takpernah lagilah sebelum ni..buat menda macam ni..

handling her in my next class was even worse.i managed to conduct the class in the school lab..knowing the size and space i had in the classroom plus the kind of students i was facing with..dah boleh predict ke'chaos'annya nanti...and this time this little girl had learnt to catch the rhythm ..and get more and more energetic...more pathetic was she even got some new found friends...playing peekaboo,screaming here and there..running all over the place ( she likes doing this..and that worries me a lot now!) this time mama knew that the whole class enjoys looking at the scenes and mama shouted at the top of my lungs to gain their attention back to the lesson and gave them some written work to keep them quiet and finally the session ended. She was then a bit tired and for the relief class ..she sat beside me ..doodling and doodling without making any noise...letih la tu...

after school, mama took her little princess to PH for lunch.. then, i brought her to see her "ibu" (ex- bbsitter) who opens a kiosk there.. and this time her "abang Ikmal" (ibu's son; Imas used to be very close to him) was there too..apa lagi..terkejar-kejar lagi..risau sungguh mama..ibu did some henna painting on her right hand..She waited patiently till the henna dried ..just because she wanted to have that Hello Kitty design on her hand..i could see that the boy missed the girl so much ..so did the mother...i can still remember...during that time Iman was really attached to them..until ibu finally decided to start her own business somewhere in November last year and since then i have to send her to the nursery.

indeed, being at school with me and the outing cheer her up..and how i wish i could cherish her more and devote my whole time to her.

** someone looked at Iman's chin this morning while we were at the canteen...and her reaction was really annoying..."la....dah cacat la..." she even repeated that word thrice...tersentak hati saya..apekah manusia ini memang tak berhati perut... atau bagaimana agaknya perasaan dia bila anaknya diperkatakan sedemikian....

i am a bad mother

2008-06-25T00:48:00.009+08:00

this morning..tonsil masih lagi taknak baik-baik..dah pulak rasa sakit telinga...memang antara effect dia setiap kali dapat sakit ni mesti sakit telinga..maybe sebab dekat dengan cervical lymph nodes yang membengkak ...jadi saya hantar jugak Iman ke nurserynya dan saya janji pegi ambil awal... dua hari saya mc ni saya asyik baring ja... tak buat apa satu pun..badan jadi lemah sungguh...mungkin sebab attack kali ni teruk sikit...dan faktor badan yang dah berlemak ni...terlena jugala tadi....

bila terjaga tidur terus siap2 pegi amik Iman.. tiba2 dapat phone call from nurserynya..saya cuak sungguh kalau dapat phone call camni... debar dah rasanya time tu...cikgu Iman bagitau iman jatuh..ada budak tumpahkan air..licin...dia lari...dan doktor kata kena jahit...luka dalam...masyaAllah.. tuhan saja yang tahu hati saya waktu tu...terus saya bergegas ke klinik...sampai ja sebak dah saya tengok dia atas katil..dia tak nangis pun ,doctor cakap...she's very good.... looking at the deep cut.. the doctor cadangkan luka Iman dijahit..3 jarum..Ya Allah...meronta-ronta jugalah Iman bila dibiuskan..saya tahu sangat kesakitan bila dibius ini...dan sebab dia meronta jadi doktor tak habis inject ubat bius tu...so mengerang jugak time dia dijahit...adoi..sayang mama...mujur ada cikgunya sebelah saya...saya sangatlah panik.dan tak boleh pandangpun...setelah selesai saya bawa Iman balik dan appointment semula untuk buka stiches is next week..

patutlah dari pagi tadi masa hantar abah kat pintu hati mama tak menentu... dah tu bila dengar cerita bising mulut2 manusia kat tempat kerja pasai ketidakhadiran saya and few others from the same department buat saya serabut juga...malam ni bila iman sudah tido..saya nangis puas-puas..menyesal hantar iman ke nursery.. patutnya saya abaikan kesihatan diri and let her be with me ...bila saya kenangkan dia dalam bilik doctor tadi i feel like i am a bad mother to her...bila saya beritahu semua.. kakak ipar saya kata "kenapa bbsiter cuai sangat"..saya balas..."benda dah nak jadi , kebetulan kat sana" saya anggap semuanya salah saya...maafkan mama Iman...semua salah mama...

beginilah rupa Iman tadi..dia sedikitpun tak mengadu sakit..cuma mama selalu kena bagitau dia jangan usik kat tempat tu.....

tadi saya telefon abahnya ..masa tu dia tengah meeting..so petang dia telefon semula ..terkejut dengar cerita anaknya ..saya dah bagitahu abah iman pagi esok saya nak bawa dia pegi sekolah...saya malas nak ambik cuti lagi..saya dah siapkan CD, buku2 dan set warna dia and when im teaching, she'll be beside me and the kids..biarlah untuk sehari dua ni..sampai luka dia kering sikit..barulah nak hantar ke nursery semula.. lusa abah dah janji akan ambik half day to accompany her sementara saya balik dari sekolah...kawan saya bagitau suruh saya ambik EL saja... saya dah tak kuasa nak dengar orang bising nanti... ada pulak bagitau nazir nak datang ke sekolah..tapi tak muncul2 lagi dari minggu lepas...harap-harap tak datang..tapi saya tawakal jalah...kalau saya yang diobserve..saya bagitau keadaan saya nanti ..kalau orang asyik bertanya esok kenapa saya bawa Iman ke sekolah saya kata la "Saya tak nak nanti orang bising saya cuti lagi"...entahlah ..kadang-kadang saya heran mengapa ada mulut yang bising-bising ..mungkin sebab benda-benda camni tak jadi kat depa...

kejadiaan petang ni buat saya takut..takut nak tinggalkan Iman lagi..setiap hari saya akan cuba ambik Iman seawal mungkin...tapi saya tiada pilihan banyak.. kelas masters saya penggal ke 2 akan bermula minggu hadapan...saya ingat nak ambik banyak sikit subjects,..nak cepat habis...tapi lagi banyak waktu saya ambil akan penuhlah masa saya dihabiskan ke kelas-kelas, discussion pada sebelah petang bekerja and work at school too.. kelas intensive budak-budak dah nak mula..keja-keja saya yang tertunggak....Ya Allah..sesungguhnya hambaMu ini dalam keresahan yang amat sangat... cuma apa yang mampu saya buat ialah berdoa agar Iman sentiasa dilindungi dari mara bahaya ...dan berserah kepadaNya...

Boredband and tonsilitis

2008-06-23T11:23:00.009+08:00

i was on hiatus mode for a week , not that i was busy ( yea..quite busy but not too busy), but the connection discouraged me very much..just imagine..i got disconnected at every 2 minutes (betapa teruknya MBb nih!!!) i guess some of my friends who are also the MBb users are receiving the same slow signal...Lastlah MAXIS!!!!!

Last Friday, i started to feel that i might be having fever and i told my friends " ala, rugila...kenapa sakit hari jumaat..tak boleh MC esok.." malangnya on Friday itself jugaklah my body temp got up and i had a serious tonsilitis with exudative white patches. I got this since i was 5..perhaps maybe since i was born..if its only a normal one the only treatment i do is gargling with a solution of warm water and salt that may reduce pain and swelling..So until last Sunday i kept quiet and did the same thing until i found the gargling and lozenges did not work anymore, plus having high fever. This morning, En helmi asked me to see the doctor, he even wanted to accompany me to the clinic but i insisted to go there alone...dia memang suka masuk office sesuka hati ja...the doctor gave me antibiotics, pain killers and other medicine..hahh....and 2 days medical leave too.. But, for now, the best remedy is sleeping!

malasnya nak makan ubat!!!

p/s : i miss the potluck!! huhu

weekend yang memenatkan..

from cik iman to her abah

special message :

"Thank you for the laughter,
For accompanying me when mama is away,
Thanks for not being tired answering my endless questions,
For reading me the stories again and again.

Thank you for your comfort,
When mornings are bad without her,
Thank you for the shoulder,
and rounds of ride before reaching the daycare.

Thank you for accepting my sorries,
and abah, all my life through,
mama will always remind me,
to thank God
For a Special Dad like you."

from puan iza to her papa

special note :

Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.

Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.

Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.

Edgar B. Guest(1916)

this song will always remind me of my dad..i really treasure every bit of its words (except for that particular word) it kills me as i realize now that he is not be beside me sharing my ups and lows..but he'll always be near to my heart and papa, im still your little girl...I love You"

Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle

and to both ,our deepest thought on this Father's Day..you are wonderful dads!!

practice makes perfect!

Dapur saya dah tak berasap for quite some time though i know cooking and dine in will help me to save a lot. i notice the fuel hike did influence others to follow. my normal visit to the nearby night market recently shocked me as i saw too many stalls displayed their new prices.. just imagine, a packect of ordinary daun pisang nasik lemak was sold at rm2. it was rm1.50 before..yet the packet is smaller... taking such scene as a lesson to take note, i was very excited to cook (again..) and cooking mee bandung(MB) for our dinner was a great idea. so..during our gaiety outing i asked my collegue KS on how to prepare the gravy (her MB is really yummy!)

as usual, i called en helmi to inform him on what im going to cook and his reaction was " takutnya!!" his common reply for my trial..biasala..it is very unlucky for him to have me as i am only good at few dishes which he can confidently say "mm...sedapp!" but as to also give me motivation to cook.. he said "takpe..try la.."

so i went to CM and bought the things i need for the gravy and the noodles..finally the dinner was ready.. iman had her mee kicap (MK) with dried mushrooms (ni pun baru 1st try) ..both MB and MK looked scrumptious.. but..as we know, looks can be deceiving sometimes....guess why? the MB turned to be verrrry spicy and SALTY!! en helmi didnt say a word but just smiled and swallowed the noodles ..forcing himself to finish all..and me... i cant even take a spoon pun!! teruknya.. as we were horiffied with the MB, iman burst out pulak " mama..nie mee iman ni nape rasa semacam je mama..iman taknak la..." alamak!! lastlah!! "sebabtu la kena rajin-rajin masak", en helmi said with his cynical smile...hrmmm.......did i tell u im not a good cook!!

ini bukan MB saya buat ...sekadar hiasan di blog ini...

p/s : we ended up having burgers last nite.. abah was full so he switched to an appetizer instead!! DUR**N!! busuk la kereta saya abah!!hehe

on a happier note , a reward to my accomplishment on certain chores..en helmi is going to take us to OU for Kunfu Panda petang ni...ini reward untuk mama ke iman ni...

recap

2008-06-12T23:25:00.014+08:00

i do not feel like writing (though marking nitemare is overrr!!)
nothing much to be shared for the past week ..other than my marking which drove me "weng" for the whole school break i only had a mini gathering planned by my friends and i on the last two days before the school reopened.. this gathering which was planned to be only a makan-makan one turned to one day one night lepak and slumber party la pulak..so faiz and i came out with the idea as we can chit chat and at the same time let the kids play at the pool and chit chat again at nite and the kids jump here and there on the matress....one of my friends did not manage to turn up as she texted us " aku takdapat nak join korang.. tadi masa shopping perut aku sakit..ni dok jumpa doktor".. alamak!! my friend is carrying her 3rd and she's expecting it at any time..huhu..bahaya tu..so there were only three of us.. and ours kids.. no papa this time! we landed in a very comfortable, reasonable and cozy suite and brought some food too.

the BIG M

2008-06-07T03:10:00.006+08:00

I'm having the syndrome again...I'm not done with the marking and i only have few days left!!its not that i don't force myself..for instance, on Thursday i texted a friend to ask her to do the marking at school as the surrounding is more encouraging . So, as early as 9 both of us were already at the staff room with our papers. After touching some scripts and few times yawning too, i popped out with a brilliant idea..instead of being in that particular humid box (the air-cond was not working) doing our marking at a more pleasant environment is more cheering hahh..
guess whre..IKEA..why IKEA??
the reason for choosing such wonderful place is only because.."kopi dia leh refill berapa kali nak pun...taklah ngantuk menanda"huh..alasan keju...(instead of using the word keji again and again....)
when my friend got her green light we called KS..to persuade her to join us there.. but KS wanted us to go to her place to taste her scrumptious mee bandung ..and invited another friend of ours to go there as well...sampai ja rumah..dah teruja dengan her new house..and after makan time..she served macam-macam...sangatlah..apa lagi...bertambah beratlah perut tang dah memang berat ni.....and due to that A and I decided to stay there to finish our marking...pegang satu paper..satu cerita keluar....tanda satu berenti 5 minit...hebat sungguh ladies depan saya bergossiping..satu-satu cerita keluar...but to not to feel guilty... tanda jugaklah sekeping dua!!!
since our first intended vanue was IKEA..saya ajak A singgah kejap.... dah niat ..kenalah pegi..hahah...

and KS and A...this is what i rembat there!!

decorative stickers... and bila balik rumah excited nak lekat.. and at first..tadaaaaaaa...

mula-mula lekat kat bawah..(pic separuh je nampak) tapi cam tak berapa lawa..pastu kopek n lekat semula (nasib baik self-adhesive) tapi dah kurang melekat nampak gayanya

.....but..i think i need to add a few more...macam kurang jejurai dia je kan...

and this is our en helmi mini gym..suka hati dia ja nak work out kat tengah2 rumah... infact at first nak gantung punching bag kat situ... lol

gossip girl and anniversary present

2008-06-03T10:07:00.004+08:00

Reading others comments on the drama had insisted me to get a set of DVDs on its first Season. And since yesterday i have been glued to the tv..abandoning all the exam papers that i' m supposed to deal with for the left days before the school reopens.The marathon of two episodes of GG was successful,and i have 3 more discs to complete . Though it revolves around the lives of the young adults and im no longer one, i can say that i enjoy the drama as it potrays how the characters deal with all the problems that being part of . and after running almost half of the episodes, i found that the events depicted in the story are not really appropriate for the teenage audience, yet it is so apt to our view as we are going to raise and handle teenagers in our own family..This morning i'm done with another three , leaving another 2 discs with 6 episodes to accomplish..no more for today as others below are much much more important....

mark a bundle of exam papers .helppppp!!!! ...(can't wait to reward myself this thursday..hmm...nursery @ Kusta , IKEA, spa , art galery @ The Mines or Jln. TAR trip...ehhe..)

completing the laundry...my spring cleaning is in progress..bedsheets and quilts are to be all washed!!!

and for these reasons... iman was sent to the day care...since having her around delays the list...huhu..keji kah saya?...

*********

apart from the dvds (hehe..itu bukan pwesent pun...guna duit sendiri bayar hari tu..)there is no present for the anniversary.But en helmi is handing out some amount of money on this

of Michelin ( sbb tire lain dia tak percaya..boleh gitu..)

for my everdearest coupe :)..kena tukar semua 4 4..the existing ones are really at a nazak condition... Thanks en helmi for being too generous this time..
dalam dok menggodek..i found this too :

"my life is berserk" (quoting my friend- aniq's fav phrase) these few days as the wireless connection im using is killing me to the max.. downloading photos to imageshack or photobucket is tediously dragging and im heated for not being able to update iman's fotoblog.....thus, resulting me to the final solvent which is this everdearest blog where uploading images seems tolarable and faster. Thanks Blogger.Com!!

*********************

back to my previous story on our vacation...
our next stop after sp was penang.i made a last minute reservation and check in at one which is near to the tanjung bungah town. i did not managed to get a sea facing room as all were fully occupied by others and the ones left were too expensive..starting from rm650++..

as we got into the room my lil cutie pie was too carried away with it.. semua menda dia checked and for few times she asked me "mama ..ini hotel eekk..??" sian dia..nampak sangat boleh bilang je iman gi jalan2.. sejak dia lahir.. this was the 4th time we brought her jalan-jalan...others were all balik kampung trips.. after sometime she was so bored being in the room and she came to me and said.. "mama.. bila nak g swimming pool?" so i said to her " dah malam sayang.. dah close..esok ek.." en helmi's eyes were hooked to the tv dah ...it was raining outside and i decided to go down to the grocery shop across the hotel to get some instant noodles...rasa sangat keji sebab beli 3 perisa :

tomyam - en helmi, kari - puan iza, and ayam - cik iman

konon nak buat rasa tidak bersalah..i've put not even a quater packet of the seasoning and to add to my "taknak rasa bersalah"itew... i actually gave her only the noodles and threw away the kuah.."ok ler tew!!!" (ayat sengal ni...)

lepas makan terus dragged en helmi to the night market at tanjung bungah..sangat menarik..macam-macam ada.. when i was working at NT i came here almost setiap ujung bulan..here, we can find CDs, VCDs nad DVDs of the latest movies and various artists' singles..the aren't original of course.. but they are sold at a very reasonable prices!! one DVD is only RM4!and if u buy 5 u can get 1 for free...interesting kan!! look what we managed to catch...

dvds for moi!

en helmi's picked those!

iman's favourite!

iman berjaya memujuk en. helmi belikan dia menda alah ni...

malam tu en helmi layan movie kat lappy la pulak...apala..datang jauh2 ...huhu..iman slept after crying all the way to get the bubble gun..(she finally got one..)

the very soon after having breakfast..iman was so teruja dgn the pool..terus nak terjun!
check out time was at 1 and immediately after that..terus cari nasi kandar...dah kenyang macam ular.....mulalah malas merangkak balik kl...setelah beberapa transit...akhirnya sampai kami di bumi Sg Buloh at 9 p.m

phew!! untuk update sebegini ropapun.. it took me nearly 3 hours..adoi!!!!sangat membuang masa dan meletihkan...

sapa-sapa leh bagitau m****s tak..lembabbbbbbbbbbbb!!!!

zara and iman..."mama..Iman nak adik la mama...huhu..pening mama..."

i just got back from ikea... accompanying dd and wifey to buy things for their new home.. not so new.. they moved in 4 months ago.. their cutie pie and mine went with us too.. i bought few things yang main2 such as kain lap pinggan, a spegetti jar, 2 cutlery stands, hooks , a pot holder and mitts, place mat a soft toy and they all cost me almost rm100.kalu en helmi tahu mesti marah..sebab barang2 tu were simply picked and saja2.. sbb temankan abang.. takkan tak beli apa..

dd bought things and he spent nearly 1k for those.this was not his first visit to IKEA after moving in.The first one was few months ago where both of them ended carrying back 4 overloaded trolleys...he whispered to me.. "pokaila abang kak..satu troley 1K.."huhu... i wasn't amazed at all ..knowing his spending habit.

DD is a shopaholic.. he spends on luxurious items most of the time.. ingat lagi..masa di uni.. dia selalu tipu us.. when i saw his new 501 Jeans or Timberland shoes..dia akan kata.."kawan abang bagi"ataupun.."beli masa sale 70%".. now he is still what he was before..from clothes to even plants.. if you go to his house you'll see all decorative plants which are huge and of course expensive such as yucca and graco....tapi yang ini mak bapak saya tak tentang.. as both of them too love garderning.. ingat lagi my mum told me one day she peeped from outside his room and listened to him praying " Ya Allah, selamatkanlah semua pokok di sekeliling rumahkku " dalam banyak2 dia boleh doa yang macam ini...and that story had become the joke of the year..

you may simply see branded clothes such as CK, Armani, Levis's, docker's and others is his closet and in her wife's would be Zara, MNG, guess and even gucci.. in addition to that, she just bought her dream Coach handbag at pavillion yesterday...

(agak2 macam ni la rupa dia..lupaplak nak snap..hehe..FYI, it costs rm2k)

I have some friends who are into designers' items too and i'm wondering why are they possessing things which are half of their salary..and i came into a conclusion that those satisfy them. En helmi must be quite lucky to have me who is not too brand conscious and buy things after making comparison and some judgement..ye la tu..(not applicable at times) but it all depends on individual perception and what they want to have..

after reading my frens' blogs on kids and theirs obsession on toys i realize that iman has not yet come to the stage yang pesan suruh abah or mamanya belikan barang.. she cant help not to look at those while we pass the toys department in any shopping outlet but she can still tolerate our words like " takyahla Iman..membazir la.. takpe..kan Iman da besar" But as her mama, tak sampai hati jugak.. i give her few treats on books and toys every month, knowing that she does not have anyone accompanying her playing.. but when we see kids crying and outburst tantrum at their parents my en helmi always remind me to teach her that not all things she can have when she ask for them..although it is hard, i believe being a firm parent to serve situational purposes is important to mould a kid's personality..i thank my MUM for being too firm on chores and hygine that made me the person i am now.. my husband went to a boarding school at the age 13 and being trained in military way by his rugby coach until he was in the uni... i can see the effects and some traits that born in him.. his firmer in making decision and more confident in many things as compared to me.. (apart from his kurang romantic)..theeeheee....

on a happier note : dah merasa si JCO itew....orang SP pegi Pavillion...saya kirim...ok je la rasanya... tapi tak se"muak" macam makan Dunkin'..

the post-mortem

2008-05-27T08:38:00.000+08:00

The majlis went smoothly that day and i was so relief. to have that and to make everyone happy were harder that the part of holding it..i had few problems adjusting few matters before the event.biasala...the first time having such in my house.. (i got to realize that im not daddy's doter anymore.huhu) things have to be handled on my own..beli itu ini..and of course there were many things to buy... bayangkan.. i only had a teapot and a jug...:p....luckily there are paper cups and plates which i think are practical for the purpose..making decision on what and who to cook was another issue..big issue...en helmi asked his mother to cook for our majlis and yet..my aunty , suddenly hasten me a call saying that my mother wanted her to cook. i was then trapped and knowing her and and she reacts towards rejection..alamak peningla saya...after a while i was pretty fair for me to decide that both of them cook. my MIL cooked the dishes while she was assigned to flavorish her superb 'nasi hujan panas'..settled..(en helmi was kind of pissed of at the beginning as for him...masak ramai2 la..takkisah...) but as usual i will only be at peace if everyone's happy.though my aunt was not that happy...the kenduri was held on saturday and everyone seemed to leave the house as early as they can for there was another big agenda at night..apo lagi AF Final Concert. So , by 7,most of them went home including my parents who were forced again by my aunty who wanted her sister to accompany her back to prepare nasik kunyit ( they just got a short notice ; Haiyly my cousin got an offer to matriculation centre in Changlun,Kedah) So, she brought her to her house and all of them would be sending Haiyly on the next day.. spending few days at my homeback in SP .. Iman was not that happy to know that her nani and wan would be only spending two days here..though her nani is no longer working...tapi nak cakap apa pun... walaupun en helmi cakap " biarla depa pegi...kan ada adik you kat sana.." apa buleh buat ..."u know my aunt"..though i was a lil' upset... afterall...semua selasaidgn baik..thanks to mama and papa , chu and co..mak and co and to all relatives and frens who came

we celebrated my mum, along and fandi's birthday on the next day...the cuppies were ordered from yatt my neighbour..she's good at decorating the cuppies..and skillful too.

late entry

2008-05-15T14:14:00.000+08:00

it was last saturday..en. helmi brought us to a restaurant , kononnya for mother's day treat la..but we could not come out with any best one as it's already 9 p.m as usual i'm the one who has to make decision (takkan iman kot kan.).while thinking about a place, i saw this one restaurant and had our dinner here.

the restaurant

soft shell crab with dried chilli

butter prawn
and few others yang tak dapat di share

since en. helmi dah sound: "can't you just live the phone for a while"
so makan sampai kenyang to the max malamtu.. thanks en helmi..

taken from the net

From New Straits Times (Malaysia)

The chairs constructed of thick yellow bamboo are surprisingly more comfortable than they look. The appetising aroma of a Thai kitchen wafts over even as we approach the restaurant. Restoran Thai Village is just a short distance away from the Giant Hypermarket in Shah Alam. Parking is a breeze, especially in the evenings, with ample space right in front of the restaurant. Thai Village serves a varied menu with mostly Thai dishes dotted with Chinese and Malay items. The menu is mind-boggling, with over 100 items and still growing. Thank goodness there are, for those who cannot make up their minds, 15 types of set menus from RM29 for groups of between two and 10 persons. This sure takes the hard work out of agreeing on what to order. Lunch hours find the restaurant filled with office workers and factory staff from nearby Bukit Jelutong. Make reservations

the place i live..

2008-05-14T16:29:00.000+08:00

i came out with the idea of owning a house three years ago, when i was just transfred to KL. As my working place was a bit far from my IL's how we had came upon an agreement that either we rent a house nearer to my school or his office. At that time i was carrying Iman for 3 months. Considering my condition, en. helmi agreed to get a house somewhere near Melawati or Setapak. We ended landing at Kemensah Height after a few searches. The rental was rm750 for a walk up apprtment with 3 rooms and that was on the 2nd floor. As for me who used to pay not even half of the amount we were paying, and not used to having house without yard...sangat menyiksa jiwa raga..That's why en. helmi always labels me at "tak rugged".. With the hansome amount of money (for me la..)we were paying (it's he..to be accurate..)i always voiced out to him that we should get our own house rather paying the landlord such amount... (dah la tak pernah datang nak baiki apa yang rosak)

We roamed to many places and finally hooked to the housing estate we are living now.. the reason being..at that moment my load could only reach 200k ..that was before the revise. Other reason was it was an alive township i should say...with basic facilities and even a clubhouse (at that time i was opened to everyone..not only the members..but not now..)and onother thing is it was developed by a prominent developer and with the continuous progress the company is doing, secure lagilah rasanya.. at least for couple of years.. thus, after some discussion we decided to book and apply the loan. i filled up the transfer form and alhamdulillah my application was successful.. even though the construction was still only 70% completed. We rented a house for nearly a year and on November last year, we finally moved in our own house.. With our own saving, we managed to get the basic things done such as the grill, lightings and some cabinets and awning. Though i have not made any renovation to the house yet.. i have to be contented at the moment..bak kata pepatah "Ukur baju di badan sendiri"

I’ve been tagged again...by my neighbour
The request is

5 PERKARA PERTAMA YANG TERJADI DALAM HIDUP ANDA.

1) Kali pertama tinggal dengan keluarga

I was raised by my ‘tok’ when I was small. When she died my parents decided to take me back and live with them. Masa tu sangat sedih nak tinggal kampung halaman.. Ape tidaknya... sejak kecik lagi duduk situ..budak kat kampung semua gang... Satu kampung kenal saya – cucu che Yah..kalau kenduri selalu kena ikut tok. The first month staying with my parents, homesick gilo... and my siblings yang lain...abang and adik were so berlagak.. takmau main dengan saya.. hari-hari pikir nak balik kampung.. i was kantoi by my own father..jumpa surat saya nak hantar kat makcik di kampung cakap tak suka duduk kat “rumah baru”

2) Pertama kali susukan iman harissa

sangat kekok dan kelakarnya.. asyik kejap2 tercabut dari mulut dia.. terkial2 saya masa tu.. sampai mulut sendiripun terjuih2 tengaok mulut si anak minum susu.

3) Pertama kali ada hand phone

Masa tu saya kat uni.beli guna duit biasiswa.. yang second hand lak tu..gedabak sungguk and heavy summo...rasa kalau teringat pasal hp tu saya gelak besar..mau taknya..siap letak dalam poket belakang..terjojol kuar lagi...huhu..

4) Pertama kali kena denda kat sekolah

Masa tu tingkatan 2..saya jadi ketua tingkatan... zaman tu ketua tingkatan kena jaga kelas kalau cikgu tak masuk..then sapa sembang tulis nama dia kat papan hitam.. tapi saya ni lemah sikit bab tulis nama tu...sesekali saya akan jerit "weh...jangan la bising!! Diam la oii!" kelas saya memang aktif sungguh.. tanpa disedari pengetua buat round... dia masuk kelas saya dan cari ketua kelas...saya kena marah seround... tak cukup dia suruh saya ambik bakul sampah dan keliling padang kutip sampah...depa bising saya yang kena....terukkan dia!sejak jadi cikgu dah dekat 8 tahun ni saya takpenah denda camtu kat student.. budak sekarang.. tak bulih usik..satgi maula kena serang dek parents..

5)Pertama kali main polis - polis

Masa kecik dulu saya suka main polis-polis.. tapi agak advance jugak permasalahan dia.. saya selalu akan play pretend watak polis dan kawan saya akan jadi penagih dadah yang diberkas...saya siap mintak 'tok' saya tumbukkan gula untuk jadikan serbuk yang kononnya dadah..hahah..

inilah kisah PERTAMA saya....

ignorance

2008-05-11T09:11:00.000+08:00

it's not that im ignorance bout my own body.. but i have not taken any precaution of stopping it to grow and grow..;) the fact that i'm feeling heavier nowadays making me feel that im at risk if i continue being ignorant 'bout my own weight...while other people are busy with their diet plan, taking all the food replacement, im just doing nothing overhere... sangat menakutkan..with this weight now..(im not 54..ouch!!)i really miss mine 6 years ago... 49...huhu... that was before i conceived iman.. during my pregnancy, my weight increased tremendously until i was asked to stop taking any vitamin or supplement..two days before i delivered iman the scale pointed at 68!!you can imagined how i looked like at that time... it decreased day by day after that but stop at 52 last 2 years..

tapi sekarang ni amatlah menakutkan sebab bila badan dah naik... jadi agak lesu and malas nak aktif macam dulu...malas nak buat itu ini...takutkan...
my husband is very supportive.. he encourages me to do all the workout... kat rumah ni ada few equipment i can use.. cuma saya ja malas...and nak jalan paling pantas..nak makan food replacement or pill bagai...but finally i end up doing nothing as i don't know how to start off..

pagi ni... godek2 kat pc...ini apa yang saya dapat...

Top 10 Answers on Dieting and Weight Loss Diets

Forget everything you've been told about dieting and weight loss diets
Because if you want to lose weight and change your life you must change the way you think about dieting.

Stop worrying about being overweight No matter how overweight you are, stop worrying!Why?
Because worrying keeps you fat. (It does, trust me)

The first step towards solving your weight problem is to relax.Because once you relax, you can begin to sort things out

Forget about quick-fix diets, or overnight curesWhy? Because they don't exist. (Trust me)I can help you to lose weight fast and slim down to a beautiful figure,but it won't happen overnight.

Question: How fast can you lose weight?Truthful answer: It depends on your present weight, your lifestyle, how much stress you're under and several other factors.

Forget about being afraid of foodWhy? Because food is wonderful, especially for slimmer. The best way to lose weight is to make friends with food

Forget about eating small helpings (portion-control)Why? Because losing weight has nothing to do with eating small helpingsThe best way to lose weight is to pile your plate with good food

Forget about eating by yourselfWhy? Because my easy weight loss diet is good for the whole family, except babies. The best way to lose weight is to put the whole family on it.

Forget about buying special 'diet' foodsWhy? Because losing weight has nothing to do with special 'diet' foodsThe best way to lose weight is to buy ordinary good food
ad_article();

Forget about calorie-counting or diet pillsWhy? Because counting calories or eating diet pills doesn't help you to stay slim and it certainly doesn't help you to stay healthy The best way to lose weight is to learn good eating habits

Forget about walking your butt offWhy? Because losing weight has nothing to do with walking your butt off!. Yes, exercise is very healthy. But in my experience, it tends to distract us. From more important things, like EATING properly.If you really want to lose weight, first change your eating habits,then take regular exercise

Forget about drinking gallons of waterWhy? Because losing weight has nothing to do with filling up with liquid.Drink to quench your thirst, not to lose weight!

Forget about your past dieting failuresWhy? Because the past is dead. Besides, nearly all my most successful slimmer were self-confessed 'failures' before they lost weight on my diet.

i have to start now...before it's too late!!

what can you do with rm5.70 ?

2008-05-07T00:04:00.000+08:00

why am i asking you this...

i remember a scene when i was buying myself some wedges at a fast food restaurant. i bought some nuggets for my brother in law Hazim..When we went into the car Hazim offered some to my MIL but refused to have some

i know that my MIL is the most practical woman ive ever met.. she organized her stuff well.

i once heard she claimed at the kitchen one day that recently, she could buy groceries with rm5 for a lunch treat of her family .. i expressed my surprise and i always said to her im not good at daily expenses on food.. i spend almost rm20 everyday i go to the grocery shop.and that is the reason of eating outside (kekadang penyakit M)... for a small family like mine.. eating outside save more on the energy, time , gas,etc..as i only spend about rm15 per treat.

That scene i had with my MIL suddenly came across my mind as i sat on the sofa after having my dinner tonite...

earlier this evening i went to the grocery shop with Iman, just to get some fresh fish and vege for dinner...Iman siap cakap "lama dah kita tak makan dalam kan..." senang je dia cari opposite meaning kepada makan luar....hehe...i decided to cook curry so i started to search for the bahan-bahan... those i bought were :

4 ekor ikan tamban (for the curry)

2 ekor ikan kerisi ( for fried fish)

2 biji chilli ijau , sebiji tomato , 3 biji bendi (ingredient for the curry)

1/2 biji kelapa

5 ulas bwg besa and selabu bawang putih

kacang panjang seikat ( to be fried)

3 biji chilli and limau (sambal belacan)

2 tauhu ( to be fried with kacang panjang)

iman's 100 plus (she loves it very much)

a box of soya bean drink for moi

the amount i paid at the counter.. cuba teka ...berapa.... ???? RM8.20 shj

after deducting the two drinks the cost was just rm5.70..sangat terkejut.. for the dinner with that cost impressed me as i came out with few dishes for the family

curry

ikan goreng

kari ikan

sayur kacang

sambal belacan

tauhu goreng

ikan goreng

banyakkan...dengan hanya rm5.70

note : dinner malam ini licin...tak membazir atau sedapkan hati masuk peti ais and ujung minggu keluarkan dan buang..on top of that abah cakap sedap..hoho!!

as Pak Lah had brought up issue on food shortage, i somehow realize how we should spend our money wisely on food... and its time for me to cook more often.. to have more "makan dalam" ;)

biar aku lak tag orang....

2008-05-06T16:30:00.000+08:00

syok gak tag mengetag ni ek... ada satu menda yang aku nak taq....

rules dia lagu ni..

i) masakan/hidangan yang anda nak buat / masak/ beli dalam hari anda di tag..fuh.. pikir2....nyatakan meal untuk dinner, breakfast or lunch...

ii) kalu lagi best letakla gambo ke resepi ke...

iii) nyatakan reason membuat /makan setiap masakan..

haha... penat tuh nak pikir...

takpe biar saya mula dulu....

meal untuk dinner - nasi panas , sup tulang (kak lang sup : promo bg su residents) , sambal belacan dan telor asin

resepi sambal belacan

Bahan-bahan ( 1 mangkuk )
1 cawan cili padi
1/4 cawan gula
1/4 cawan garam
1 sudu besar belacan
1 biji tomato
1/2 biji bawang besar
1/2 biji lemon diambil airnya
Sedikit air masak

resepi sup tulang

Bahan-bahan ( 4 orang )
500g tulang lembu
1 sup bunjut adabi
2 kiub ayam - tak kisah mana2 adabi ke maggie
2 1/2 liter air.
3-4 ulas bawang putih
1 cm halia
minyak untuk menumis
daun sup/ daun bawang
bawang goreng
cili padi -kalo nak pedas :)
limau nipis- kalo suka masam2 sket..
2 ketul ubi kentang
1/2 batang lobak merah

Cara-cara
Mula-mula cucilah tulang temulang.
Kupas bawang putih. Pastu bersihkan.
Ketuk-ketuk bawang putih dengan pisau. Pastu cincang-cincanglah biar jadi halus.
Hiris pula halia nipis-nipis. Tapi kalo sape ada lesung tu boleh tumbuk halia sekali dengan bawang putih.
Panaskan minyak. Tumislah bawang putih dan halia ni sehingga bawang putih jadi kuning.. kalo hangus sket tu takpe..
Dah tu masuklah air dengan tulang-temulang. Rebuslah sehingga tulang empuk.
Bila dah empuk tu, masuklah pula ubi kentang dengan lobak merah.. Kalo tak nak letak pun takpe..
Masuk pula rempah sup bunjut dan juga kiub ayam. Biarkan sehingga ubi kentang empuk.
Masukkan pula sedikit gula. Pastu bolehlah rasa. Kalo tak rasa masin lagi bolehlah tambah garam. Tak cukup manis tambahlah gula.
Bila nak makan tu bolehlah letak bawang goreng, daun sup, daun bawang, cili padi. Kalo suka masam perhlah sedikit limau nipis.

"merah sangat la mak ngah"

2008-05-04T17:27:00.000+08:00

saya teringat phrase kat atas yang sangat classic ....taksilap iklan bank bumiputera kot...
tapi saya sebenarnya suka warna merah...cuma kena gaya memakai okayla..saya cuma ada satu shirt kale merah and beberapa baju merah...

dalam pada itu..mamaintan tagged saya ttg pakai baju merah ni

undang2 dia gini..

1.Post YOUR photo wearing red, may it be red top, bottom, the least would be red accessories if u hate wearing red. If u can’t find one, u still have an option.Either post your significant other’s photo or your child’s photo, if u have one.Of course, they should be wearing red.

2. Let us know the reason why u were wearing that particular day.Was it ur birthday? Is red ur fave color or was it the shirt that u first saw in ur closet that day?

kebetulan bila cari2 jumpa dlm pendrive gambar2 nostalgia ini..

those were captured 4 years ago..on my big day...theme merah and white....banyakla pulak...so layan la....

with my best buddies..mar and jue...

top : gambar anak2 abd wahab

bottom : cucu2 abd wahab

wearing red was my dad as the wali and me sitting beside him (innocent je kan... gabra sebenarnya)

my parents...(tgoklah mak chu saya sedang masukkan angpow dalam bank bergerak tu..heh)

me with a killer pose..haha..kurus keding masa tu..

semuanya atas satu reason : kenduri kawen saya

alkisah baju kahwin saya yang saya kurang gemar...taulah agaknya kenapa... it was the bridal shop yang saya sewa baju tu...baju yang saya tempah 3 months before was not ok two days before the wedding day... apa sebabnya... baju tu ada
koyak kat belakang..sangat ketara... masa saya book tu si pemilik butik benard tu tgh jahit lagi...cantik sangat.. saya dah
siap2 nak pakai tudung ala bienda lagi..haha..pasai collar dia la turtle neck..alih2...sebab salah peminjam terakhir kata dia.... french lace itu terkoyak and amat ketara... butik tu dah tak ada baju merah n white lagi...nak bg saya.. jadi saya kena beralih ke pusat andaman patimah..ada la selai..
tapi masa tu macam taktercerus idea nak pakai
inner...kalu pikir2 balik...nyampah..ke masa tu inner masih belum femes kot...huhu...

ini se kecik saya dengan tee kegemarannnya....

reason : dia mmg suka baju ini....

ni masa dua tahun ....

ni masa setahun lebih

my boss and her boss

2008-04-23T19:00:00.000+08:00

iman is always warned when she touches all my stuff and especially my laptop labelled "HKM"... it seems to work well when i mention my boss's name "M_ _ _ " when she disturbs me or wants to follow me to work... her words "mama...iman nak pegi sekolah M_ _ _ la.." and many more that she uttered together with my boss's name...

but this evening she amused me with her statement as i caught her so engrossing with the touch pad of my laptop. i screamed.. "iman... jangan main ..itu computer M _ _ _ ..nanti M _ _ _ marah baru tau.." To my surprised, with her "poyo" face she replied " Cikgu Haslina lagi garang...nanti dia marah mama pegang barang iman" Haiyya ini mudak..... : O

p/s Cikgu Haslina is her boss at Kristal Anakku daycare centre

passing hers to me..

2008-04-23T18:44:00.001+08:00

mama used to collect these branded (for me..as mine are all "tipuware") containers a lot.. and in the closet at the kitchen she kept all...but now she's passing some of her new ones..which she had just ordered from the agent..i asked her "why don't you keep them all?"she replied " tak larat dah nak simpan.. bukan pakai pun...kakak pakai la.."

thanks mama... i love you

as days pass by

2008-04-10T14:49:00.001+08:00

saya suka title entry kali ni... dalam maksudnya...haha... yang paling nyata ..kita dah meningkat usia...dan terpaksa menjadi lebih matang dan dewasa....ye la...dah tua saya sebenarnya..dah jadi ibu .. jadi besar tangungjawab dan peranan..

neway...setiap hari...bila bangun tido...ada macam-macam menda perlu saya buat dan belum settle...saya kena pikir satu...satu..ada yang tak sempat sentuh lagipun.. walaupun tiap-tiap hari masuk dalam list menda nak buat..adus...pening pikir semua ni...

tadi sewaktu hendak pergi ke hospital untuk check up.... saya tengah bergegas mencari notes statistics saya untuk siapkan individual assignment. pukul 530 pagi tadi lepas buat susu iman... baru ja selesai email group work assignment subject lain...ada dua lagi menunggu... ops! tiga..ayork!!!

tadi..waktu suami dah habis hantar iman ke nursery this morning... bila dia hon kereta tiga empat kali... saya dah jadi kelab kabut....terus keluar tanpa handphone...so.. ke hospital macam orang hilang akal....tercari2 nombor phone kekawan...yang dah ada kat SMTERT untuk debate competition yang berkampung di sana for 3 days for Inter Technic Carnival... saya kena buat texts bebudak.. and masa dalam kereta on the way ke hospital... baru saya dok brainstrom ngan husband...masa tunggu giliran di depat pintu dr tu saya tgh sibuk berdebat ngan diri sendiri...sempatla siapkan ketiga-tiga points.

mungkin bila org baca entry saya kali ni akan kata ....alah..orang lain pun banyak menda nak buat... ataupun bizi memanjang dia ni...orang lain pun ada 24jam jugak...heheh...hakikatnya..

itu tak masuk housechores,errands, bla...bla...on the way back suami saya bersuara " u have lots of work to do but you do not work smartly... organise yourselves... i tau semua kerja you boleh buat at the end of the day.. but work smart!" kata-kata suami mendalam....saya sendiri sedar... saya ni jenis kalut sket... tak caya tanya intan..hahahhh....tapi i thought its the character i live with... and because of being that way.. i become more and more forgetful nowadays.. oh tidak...

maka .. untuk permulaan ....i have found a book to read for selfhelp... its very interesting... i would recomand it to everyone sbb buku tu ada cara nak organize diri, household and many more.. so that we cud also spend time for ourselves...

apa-apa pun saya semakin bersemangat nak mengubah gaya hidup..... banyak menda yang perlu saya buat...home improvement,etc,etc..banyak benda yang belum sempat saya buat..antaranya bawa iman ke zoo...kali pertama masa dia baby..masa taktahu nak layan zoo lagi.hehe...dulu sebelum pindah rumah saya menyewa kat Kemensah Height...just behind the zoo... punn taktepergi...

esok saya nak pinjam chain saw dari seorang cikgu bengkel P*M..nak kemas-kemas garden ahad ni....nak kena gi dapatkan book rack..pasai buku banyak dlm kotak...suami nak motivate saya kunun... kosongkan store untuksaya kemas... alih-alih living hall lak serabut!!!

and many other things to do....huhu... tarik nafas....chiayork!!hheheh...apa-apa pun ni nak ngadap assignment untuk submit esok petang! dushhhhhhhhhhh......

on a happier note, studentsaya menang 1st prize in the interclass choral speaking competition yesterday....dapat rm200 ..kayo depa!

updating my condition...

2008-04-09T17:37:00.000+08:00

a year ago i discovered a nut sized sebum just beside my breast. it wasnt painful.. yet i was too anxious to know what it was and went to the nearby clinic. the gp gave me antibiotic and told me to go back if it got bigger. it wasnt making any progresspun after that.. so i did not put so much attention to it till few weeks back when i was having my bath..i noticed that this thing ( i dont wanna call it lump ) was still there... gatal tangan sungguh masa tu ... nampak sangat interogating....so apalagi... aku usik2 kat situ.... tak sakit pun.. tapi few days later... dah nampak lain macam.... and the swollen was getting bigger day by day dan berdenyut-denyut sakitnya.. apa menda ni....

few days later i went to the clinic at my neigbourhood... the gp do a check up to confirm that there'll no other lump... what she mentioned was not really terrifying... infection... caused by the sebum...i was quite relieved... but as she prefered me to have follow up check ups, she suggested me to have a proper treatment at any better equipped clinic or hospital...

i went to *** hospital to get treatment ..to see a specialist for his/her opinion. the doctor said it was an absess. ingatkan kena buat operation kecil to drain out the pus.. tapi the docttor wanted me to be hospitalized for untrasound and aspiration on the next morning.. kecut sebenarnya.. tak tahu aspiration tu ape mende....terus call my mum... dia cakap aspiration to ala-ala suctionla..and paling menakutkan it will be done without local anesthetic...ngeri bunyinya...

my husband yang ikut sekali terus ajak g canteen makan dulu before admit.. dah g makan i received a call from the surgery clinic.. suruh terus g radiothology for ultrasound and aspiration... bila masuk bilik tu sangat gelap sekali.. no wander i could'nt find anyone in there with spectacles..serious!maybe one of the reasons was the rooms condition themselves.

the absess

the aspiration to drain all the pus to about an hour... i 'd rather stop elaborating more on the procedure ..just few lines the dr uttered.. " puan... sorry ye.. absess kat sini memmmang painful...kalu puan nak jerit ke ape ke...buat la ye.." ....phew! taktahu nak gambarkan..hehe..saya memang jenis yg taktahan sakit orangnya...pastu dia terus minta masuk ward ...dalam ward rasa dizzy la pulak....tido je la... then ade doctor datang... nak letak jarun untuk drip n antibiotic.. lama sungguh.. jarum keempat baru jumpa blood vessel..huhu..ini pun aku dah terangkat badan-badan.

ultrasound to the detect the pus location

ni aspiration yang saya google

sempat duduk bebrapa jam kat ward.. cousin saya yang jugak specialist kat situ dischargedkan saya.. dia kata "balik tido kat rumah lagi sedap kak wany.." haha.. dapatla jumpa iman...

dah seminggu sebenarnya saya terpaksa wean off kan iman... sedih gak sebenarnya.... takut nanti taknak kering... so dia kasi a medicine named cabergoline for that..kata dia absess mmg normal for breastfeeding mothers.. cuma taknak aku lambat baik.. and jadi lagi menda camni in the future...so kenala stop the milk production...

sian iman... tapi dia dah besar n kena belajar minum formula...so sekarng ni malam2 sederet rumah taman ni akan dengar iman nangis.. dua tiga kali gak... berperang.. bancuh susu... tapi susah nak minum.. kalu letih sangat melalak... dia akan minum...lawakpun ada bila both of us..me and my husband bangun bancuh susu.. orang experience masa awal2..kitorang... iman da nak masuk 3 years... betul2 nguji kesabaran gak memujuk dia agar minum...macam nak je stopkan dia nangis dengan my BM....kena sabar...

esok..saya akan melawat hospital for another treatment kalau perlu and appoinment ngan doktor..
pus yang diculture juga mungkin dah bole determine bacteria ape..untuk kasi antibiotic yg sesuai.. wish me luck!!harap takde ape2...

Dia yang Maha Berkuasa

tadi sewaktu dalam perjalanan balik ke rumah dari sekolah..saja layan era radio.. terdengan satu berita yang agak pilu... yusni jaafar telah kembali ke rahmatullah... saya agak terkejut juga dengan berita ini... ada juga terbaca berita tengtang arwah... bebarapa bulan dulu.. tentang dia dipinggirkan keluarga.. kesimpulan saya ketika itu mungkin orang dah berumur memang sensitif dan kalau boleh jagalah hati mereka.. saya hanya terlintas sesuatu pada waktu itu.. saya pernah cakap pada adik beradik saya... walau apa pun terjadi jangan sia-siakan ibubapa kita.. saya juga beharap saya juga tidak akan dipersiakan anak-anak kelak...(ketika ini terngiang bila iman menyanyi lagu "ayah dan ibu... itulah ..permulaan kami...." dia cuma tahu baris ini sbb kak achanya selalu nyanyi baris ni walaupun tak tahu maksud nya..)

kemudian terdengar tentang arwah menderita penyakit hati.. walupun begitu..saya amat bangga dengan kegigihan seniwati ini... saya tidak terlalu mengikuti perkembangan hiburan tanahair... cuma saya tengok walaupun dia sakit..dia masih giat mencari sesuap nasi... terfikir juga kalau dia mempunyai bantuan kewangan takkan dia masih lagi berlakon...

Petang ini bila terdengar berita pemergian nya..saya berfikir panjang... mungkin ada rahmat pemergiannya... Allah itu Maha Berkuasa... semuanya tenta ditentukanNya... ajal maut segalanya urusanNya... saya selalu berpesan kepada anak didik saya... jangan kita terlalu seronok dengan apa yang ada.. sentiasa beringat.. bila-bila Dia boleh tarik balik semua milikNya..

Dua kejadian menyayat hati sepanjang beberapa tahun lalu...

i) rakan setugas saya masa di Penang dulu kemalangan .. sehari sebelum tu bertegur sapa dan berbual ..tiba keesokan harinya dapat berita beliau meninggal sewaktu di bawa ke hospital...isterinya datang ke sekolah mengambil barang2 arwah... anaknya yang juga anak didik saya juga tenang... mungkin redha dengan pemergian bapanya.

ii) berita kedua saya dapat ketika sudah bertukar ke sini... kawan saya sewaktu di sekolah yang sama tadi... telah kehilangan anak bongsunya yang terbakar dalam kereta sewaktu ditinggalkan suaminya. Masa tu si adik dengan abang..abang dapat diselamatkan..adik taksempat.. tapi cina yang selamatkan abangnay nampak adiknya menggapai tangan dari dalam kereta... tapi kereta dah meletup.. kawan saya yang tengah mengajar didatangi bapa mertua...sampai dirumah baru dia tahu segala-galanya...

dari kejadian-kejadian ini membuat kan saya sentiasa insaf... dan mengingatkan saya tentang Kekuasaan Allah yang Maha Hebat... semoga hidup saya dan insan-insan disekeliling saya sentiasa dalam keadaan sejahtera dibawah lindunganNya.Amin

terkenang semasa dulu

i was assigned a very tough job last weekend..apa tak nya ...kena bawak budak pegi eco dudun resort kat bentong sana... macam best bunyinya sebab saya memang suka outdoor activities cenggitu... but the problem is i have to leave iman with her abah ...iman memang dah biasa kena tinggal ngan abah when i attend my class every weekend... tapi yang saya risau ialah bila kena biar iman tido dgn abah.. kan dia masih bf...alamak... risau sungguh..seminggu sebelum pegi saya dah train wean off dia.. tapi takberjaya.. sian pulak nrasanya.. walaupun dia dah cukup besar...
hari tu lepas habis kelas di um terus mintak my fren amikkan kat sana... kami pergi konvoi beberapa kereta..

The camp was named 3R( read, revise, relax) . it was meant for selected students yang ada problem in attitude n studies... cuma 60 of them and all boys..the trip there was orait.. kami english n add math teachers went on the second day sahaja... our slot hari kedua.. and penutup.. sampai ja kat sana ..ujan.. so kami chck in kat chalet.. budak2 duduk dorm...
kat situ malamnya kami ada listening slot and the students were enjoying themselves.. saja ja pilih that activity since they were tired and ada tendency tertido... so we chose the fun activity. then... lepas tu keesokan pagi another slot for writing... the students were energetic to present sebab awal pagi... lepas tu we went jungle trekking... cuma 3 female teachers yang join... yang lain students and mala teachers... jenuh jugak memanjat bukit.. ingatkan jungle trekking rata je tanahnya.. ini dah macam mountain climbing ni... sempat ja kami posing2 kat dalam tu... after trekking... kami gi nain jambatan gantung... kak amizah n husda and myself went on it sampai ujung ..kecut gak perut.... tapi yang tak sempat nak buat ialah abselling...
lepastu acara penutup and petang tu at about 2pm kami merangkak balik ke kl... kesimpulannya the camp was interesting... tempat okay, the food was variety and nice... air la yang paling best... sejuk.. mandi tak ingat org dok tunggu kat luar... nak nak.. guna exfloiting scrub apricot yang sya bawak...hehehh

back to iman n abah at home. ..kat situ takde reception... jadi terpaksalah mama duduk terpeuk kat tepi dinding... itupun putus-putus... hampeh la c*****m... mujuk ada m****s .. dapatla call... my husband told me yang dia cuma terjaga malam sekali dan tidur semola pastu... amboi iman.... senangnya kalau mama takde... kalu tak sejuta kali mama bangun.. melekat
je isap susu....senangla macam ni nanti...balik tu singgah ou...sebab my fren dropped me kat sana.. pastu gi iket and BO...beli iman pyjamas... dia peluk mama rapat-rapat.. siap cakap "oh mamaku (ayat dia bila peluk mama)...."iman rindu mama"....iman..mama pun rindduuuuuuuuu iman.

breasfeeding story

2008-03-18T14:45:00.000+08:00

during my pregnancy lagi saya memang dah ada keinginan tinggi nak breastfeed sendiri my iman.. when she was born, she was admitted into the NICU at the hospital and i asked for a stay at the visitor's room at the back of the unit (with the help of my cousin ; Thanks Along..).. To support breastfeeding, the nurses on duty would keep on reminding me the times i was suppossed to feed her. For the first few days..she was given the formula and iman's reaction to the milk was so passive.. i was tumbling then.. she refused to drink.. the nurse complaint.. to finish 3 oz would take her more than half an hour.. she was once fed using a tube putting thru her nose.. when i started giving her my BM for the first time, i was being tutored by my MIL .and finally berjaya juga keluarkan the colustrum .. during my confinement i made an appoint to concentrate feeding her with the bm instead of the fm..iman's abah was supportive too.. he bought me the pump for storage.
It was the Mami and Baby (the local mag on mom n kids) the supported me with many tips on breastfeeding.. i was so excited then.. after some time it was not that easy for me to handle her as she would start crying every nite till early morning at almost everynite of my confinemnet period.. freak out gila time tu.. i contacted an activist thru the mag i read. she is a dentist who contributes a lot in encouraging mothers to bf..dr. nurul.. to clear my doubt on whether she could not tolerate my bm or not..i really appreciate her noble concern on this.even when i had weaning problem once she could still answer my call and layan me.. (thanks doc..)
As i was basically preparing to leave my iman later, so my mother told me to also introduce her to fm..i did for many many times before going to work again .. but it was not that easy to force her to drink fm.. SANGAT SUSAH... i remember trying one brand to another... and at the end of the day tired of buying and donating to others (takut keras dalam tin je)... i did tried expressing and storing mine ..hoping she would enjoying it.. tukar jenis puting takyah cakap lah.. NUK, DB,Avent segala bagai..ending up having a new hobby of collecting nipples...huh..After all, why spend money on formula as you can produce yours...ye la... so lepas dah lama mencuba i gave up....tapi yang paling kesian ..my baby would wait for me until i went home.. at the nanny's house she would never even take a sip of fm..degil nih.. ikut sapa ek...kesianla pulak..sanggup belapar..

bila iman dah besar sikit i kept on trying to give her fm . sebabnya she's a small eater.. and she is not putting on much weight .. a paed once told me that a bb who is fully bf wont grow obese and she'll be a petite.. ..at another pov .. i'm trying to ease my back ..through out nite she'll be sucking and sucking...biting at times..ouch..sakit woo...

these are all the benefits of bf
Touted as the perfect food, breast milk:
___ Provides essential nutrients in the correct proportions
___ Contains immunity-boosting antibodies
___ Causes less vomiting than formula
___ Protects against diarrhea and ear infections
___ Prevents allergies
___ Has a form of protein that is more easily digested by the newborn
___ Acts as an antibacterial agent

when i bf her, i also realize few things :

a) she is closer to me.. which is gud la.. but at times when im busy.. she's not well , mama want to cook, etc...clinging all the time

b) disturbed sleeps.. she wakes up more than 8 times... memang betul apa kata one article i read..when you let your child to be with ur nipple or any pacifier, once she wakes up, she will definitely search for it..so penatla mama...nak buat kerja mmg takdapatla...terus sama2 lelap... ;)

c) manja sikit walaupun selalu kena marah ngan mama

d) apa2pun semuanya mama...kadang2 dia jadi kurang independent..mgkin sbb she's a girl...gitula perangainya

e) sangat petah bercakap....banyak pulak idea2nya...

bila dah lama2 rasanya dah sampai masa iman diceraikan susu... supaya dia dapat kalsium lebih..as she grow bigger calsium is vital for her growth..ive tried few times.. macam2 cara...

i) letak nescafe (dia kata "pahit mama..tu kopi kan..basuhla..") uhuu
ii)letak asam jawa..gatal woo.. (sama ..dia tak suka.. tapi malam.. bila dia ngamuk.. bg dia tak kira.. minum gak...masam punn..

minggu lepas bila dapat tahu kena bawak student g camping.. mulala gundah gulana...camna nak tinggal her alone with abah... selama ni iman has not being left yet.. kalu ada course habis tgh malam pun i'd rush balik..tapi kali ni ingat dia dah besar..so mulala 2 days ago..konon nya nak letting go...siang ok.. bika malam.. banyak kali terjaga ..melalak la pa lagi...satu row lane ni dgr agaknya... dah pujuk..pastu tertido n bangun lagi...few times sampai pagi.. the next day mama pulak macam nak demam2..mgkin sbb dia tak minum...bila malam tiba.. i was hopeless and finally gave up.....alamak..tak berjaya... (any tips?)
so lepas ni taktau camna nak buat.. ada yg kata gi la jumpa ustaz memana.. ada yg kata biarlah dia minum
je .(tp.. mama pun kena guna time memalam buat assignment..kalu bf iman..susah gak)

on top of that. saya rasa puas hati dapat susukan iman...selebihnya saya anggap itulah pengorbanan ibu..chewah..
and i decided to continue nursing her at the moment..manala tahu nantii dengan sendirinya dia berhenti... :)
