Life so far

Sincerest apologies for abandoning you for too long, dear blog!

I was really busy. Really. BUSY. with my new life of course. Being a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a teacher... I. Am. Super. Busy.

But now I have decided to start blogging because I can finally juggle the new roles efficiently. ha ha.

Many things happened in 2013 and the early months of 2014 that I rather not share. It was just me being pregnant, got Bell's Palsy a week before I gave birth, then gave birth to my son, confinement period, adjusting myself to being a mom, going to hospital for treatments and physio session, transferred to another school closer to home, and so on.

Life has been great and I wake up everyday looking at myself in the mirror (to check whether my prior Bell's Palsy's smile has returned or not, NO!) feeling grateful to ALLAH SWT that I am given another day to spend wisely and to repent for all the sins I have committed.

I enjoy being a mom. My son is the most ultimate gift from ALLAH SWT. To watch him smile, cry, walk and play is precious to me. He can now say "Heyyo (Hello)", "Abah", "pis (fish), "duck", "Nak", "Dah" and "Mamam". Now...where's "Mommy"? Been putting extra effort to get him to say the word but boy... he doesn't even care to repeat after me. 

Teaching is quite stressful these days. Some pupils still cannot recognise the letters (we have a week left before school holidays) and the teachers are panicking! God, Year Two teachers must be mad at us! Need to start introducing ABC to Emir now. My two-year old nephew can say A-Z.. so Emir, you better learn your letters! And I just received news that I will be the class teacher for 1 Gemilang, the 5th out of six classes next year! Help!!

Anyway, I learned so many things this year. It is tough when you are a working mom and your husband is only there (physically) for you and your child for two weeks every month. And now he thinks we should start planning for the second baby. I was like... "what???"
Hehe. If there's rezeki, why not. :P

;)

New experience

As salam...


It's been a long time... I miss writing, to be honest. I actually forgot that I have a blog. Hehe

I visited my dear friend last month. She asked me about the experience of becoming a mother. Then she said..

"It would be nice if you share your experience and stories on your blog. Your kids can read them when they are older".


Then, baru teringat..oh..ada blog rupanya aku ni. Heeeee...so..thinking of writing again. Bismillah....

till then..

Salam.


I have so many things to blog about....so so so many events happened..well, not many just a few but they were important events! Also, I would love to blog about my recent short trip. However, I have so many things to do..with school, life, plus my sister gave birth to a baby boy 2 weeks ago. Haihhh...need to find a proper time to write. I miss writing...


Till I finally find time to write beautiful posts.... hehe

toodles!!

sad news

Salam.

I received a sad news today. One of my youngest sister's classmates passed away this morning. She was diagnosed with a disease that I believe all of us are afraid of, leukimia. Admitted into the hospital 2 weeks ago, mother had the chance to visit her yesterday. She was 15, in case you are wondering. Supposed to sit for her PMR this year, PE test was postponed to next week because the school provided a bus for her classmates to pay her the last visit. Even though I did not know her (she was my primary school teacher's daughter), I felt a pang of sadness and tried my best to hold back my tears. Her life was short, she told my mother how she missed going back to school, expressed her sadness because none of her school teachers visited her, she complained how big her belly was (swollen liver) and being lethargic all times. Poor girl, but looking on the other side, she passed away on Friday and mother told me "Ramai orang datang ziarah, banyak macam orang kahwin."


I don't even know why I am writing this. I hope ALLAH prolongs the journey of this friend of mine to walk on earth, who's suffering too. (Macam salah grammar je but whateverr, huhu) I just...hmm I guess well.. haha gagap pulakk dah. Hmm..apa-apa pun, ALLAH is The Best Planner.


Have faith, there's hope in it. :)

Visiting Kiwi Land - Part II

Rasa awesome tayang muka sendiri kat screen besaq muzium NZ. hehe

Do you know that if a Maori carves a tattoo on his/her chin, it means that the person has sworn not to drink alcohol till his death? This is a famous Maori but I forgot his name.

Teropong orang seberang lautan.

One of the three anchors used by the first ship that found New Zea-land. I think it belongs to the French.

Holiday home, at the terrace.

Late-night shopping at Briscoes, just to buy pinggan mangkuk. This was at 11+ p.m. haha

Thank you!

Kelmarin...merengek..




Girl: I didn't get any flowers pon... *sad voice* konon sebak sangat..


Boy: Haa? Kenapa kena bagi?


Girl: yelah..yesterday was our bla bla bla..


Boy: Oh...but I prefer to give you flight tickets. Sending flowers won't bring you any closer to me, right? *suara takde perasaan*


Girl: Oh..okay...hehehehehehehehehehehe. *senyum sampai hari ni* So, how many tickets do you have for me?


Boy: Hmm..so far, only four. To A, B, C & D. Do you have any other places you would like to go to?




Moral value: Ask for more flight tickets. haha.




I always *ahem* complain about him being so unromantic, bla bla bla.. *dasar tak bersyukur punya orang*. Quite often that I don't realize that he really is a romantic person, a charmer. Just not the romantic cheesy-type that I saw on tv. And thank goodness for that! If not, I think I'd die of his cheesy-ness haha. After this short conversation through phone, I just wanted to thank Allah for sending me this man, a man who puts me among his top priorities, whose generosity and kindness go beyond words can describe, a man who loves me for my weaknesses, a man who gives but never ask for a return.



Once, I asked. "Kenapa awak suka saya?" He replied, "awak banyak kekurangan, cuma sayang saya dekat awak je lebih".



I feel truly blessed. Thank you ALLAH.





p/s: Let's be thankful!

Cerita CNY

Salam and hi.



Hurm.



The other day, aku and my mom pergilah kedaimas. Well, bukan lah pegi kedai yang nama 'Kedai MAS', tapi kedai yang jual barang kemas tuu. Nak tengok cincin. Bukan apa, mak aku terrrrringinnn nak beli cincin pulak. Heh, macam-macam mak aku ni.


So, kitorang pon usha la cincin-cincin comel yang menawan hati. Pastuh mak aku tanya la kak Tina tu, mana bos. Kak Tina jerit panggil bos dan bos pun keluar dari ofis dia. FYI, uncle Leong tu dah lama kenal mak aku, since kitorang pindah sana lagi. Kira geng la ni. Kalau datang kedai, dia asyik nak cite masalah anak yang taknak belajar tapi sibuk nak bawak mercedes pi sekolah. Hantu betul! Heiii, nasib baik not my son, or else aku pelangkung tengkuk dia dengan sabit! Pastu bini dia dengar, join cite sampai gaduh-gaduh manja depan kitorang. Tapi mesti dalam hati masing-masing sentappp. Macam tu lah gayanya mereka berdua. Romantik cara gitu kot?



Hari kitorang pegi sana, aku nampaklah muka dia sedih. Pelik lah kan. Raya-raya pon mau sedih ka tauke? Sebab aku ni kepoci, maka aku tanyalah...


NA, "Uncle Leong, apsai manyak sedih? Kan raya ni? Senyum skettt."


UL, "Hmm.. (senyum tak sampai mata sambil pusing tengok mak aku) a lot of thing happened kak Mala. I manyak sedih."



Eh eh uncle ni, aku yang tanya dia boleh menjawab kat mak aku pulak.


MA, "Why Mr Leong? Cerita la dekat I.."


UL, "Tak boleh cerita kak Mala. Jika I cerite, sampai esok-esok pon tak habis u tau. (hamboiii, ni memang banyak dia punya sedih ni..) Rasa hati I selama ni I tak pernah cerita pada sesiapa. Nantilah I cerita.." (jerit, suruh pakgad bagi kitorang limau dengan air, hehe)


MA, "Hmm..takpelah Mr Leong. Jangan sedih-sedih. Sudah talak hensem maa.."



Bila uncle masuk balik ofis, kitorang tanya kak tina apa telah terjadi???!! Mengapa Mr Leong terlampau sedih di hari perayaan???!



Tina, "Bininya minta cereiii!!Ada boipren lagi kaya!"



Hah! pulokkkk.. ternganga jap my mom and I.




Seram. Seram. Okay, tujuan aku cerita tentang kisah ni bukan nak sebarkan aib ke apa ke. Aku cuma nak bagitau, itulah fitrah manusia. TAK pernah bersyukur dengan nikmat yang ada. Kalau bersyukur pon berapa persen je la kan. Dah ada suami toke emas, nak suami toke minyak. Da ada husband encem macam remy ishak, nak encem macam abang aoron pulokk. Da cantik pun, nak pakai susuk sampai lagi cantik. Da kurus kering macam tiang lampu, nak lagi kurus macam batang lidi pulak. Manusia manusia.


Kita jarang relfect keadaan sekeliling kita. Kita nampak, kita lihat tapi kita buta sebenarnya. Tak ramai antara kita yang benar-benar celik, betul tak? Setakat celik IT tu apa ada hal kan?? Bak kata orang-orang tua, bior buta mata tapi celik hati.



Jadiiiiiiii....bersyukurlah, tanda terima kasih kepada Sang Pemberi Nikmat. ---> malas nak tulis pepanjang. heee

always the best

You know you have the best father in the world when you woke up from an afternoon nap and found your car has been washed and polished inside out.




;)





Thanks, abah. xoxoxo

Rimas

You know it's too much when it is too much.



When we care about a person deeply, you'll never know that at times it can be quite disturbing for them. In fact, too disturbing that they feel claustrophobic with you presence or just hearing your voice or worst, they feel like throwing the phone away when they see your name on the screen. Rimas tau! rimas! rimas! rimas! RIMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! TAU TAK???!!




Okay okay. Aku tau. Dah. kau tak payah jerit-jerit macam setan, pi ambil wuduk pastu solat. Kan bagus.




Now, macam mana kita nak tahu jika orang tu rimas dengan tahap ke-care-an kita? As simple as simple plan,


1. bila kita cakap depan-depan dengan dia, dia tak nak pandang kita pastu kelam-kabut cari pen konon-konon nak bajet busy padehal elok je tadi kita tengok dia goyang kaki tengok you-tube.Pastu gelak tak ikhlas..tak pun jawab ala kadar macam saja nak kasi kita sakit hati balik. Sebab dia dah sakit hati, rimas kita duk care sangat pasal dia, dia pon jawab la nak sentapkan kita balik. contoh:

orang care: kau okay? ada masalah tak hari nih?

orang rimas: hah? pandang siling kiri-kanan depan belakang..okay okay. eh, aku okay jeww (dalam hati, memang ada masalah pon. kau lah masalah aku. sila berambuss)



2. bila kita call, dia banyak diam. jawab pun hmm.. okay.. tak.. takdelah..oh..yeke..tak tau la..pastu hmm balik. yelah. supaya kau bosan. jadi takdelah kau nak tanya banyak benda, conversation akan dicutshortkan so dia boleh get rid of kau cepat-cepat. lagi teruk kalau kau call dia lambat angkat...saje kasi kau panas..or langsung tak angkat! haaa...ni memang nak kasi kau hangus terus hangit ni. hehehe




3. bila kau text, dia langung tak reply. HAHAHAHAHAHA. kesian. Tapi kalau aku, nangis kot.




4. bila dia bagitahu kau muka ke muka

Orang rimas: I rimas. Rimas tau? Rimas tau tak? RIMASSSSS sesangattt! You boleh tak tolong jangan care sangat dekat i? U sapeeeee haa? Sape??? U sapee???

Orang care: Aku bini kau la ngek!! *bedebush*


Okay kalau cakap macam ni dekat bini ke laki sendiri ke memang ada harapan nak kena tidur luar la kan malam tu. Tapi confirm menghiris hati seh.. Makan dalam. Mesti kasi nangis kaw-kaw punya la bila kena sembur macam ni. wuwuwuwuw sobs sobs sampai atiiiii B cakap ayang cenggitu... UWEKKSS!



So..kalau kita pun..secara logik akal yang dikurniakan Ilahi, pandai-pandai la nak pikir. Withdraw yourself from that situation or from that person. We must know the limit. Even patience has its limit. Not asking how the person is doing every single hour does not make you any less care about him/her. They just need to be alone.. to rest, to think..to reflect..to appreciate. Who knows they might come and find you later. Well, absence makes a heart grow fonder. But, if they've gone for too long erm...perhaps you can assume that they still need the time to find the missing pieces ke apa ke..or they just don't need you. Ouch. Too bad, reality hurts.
