The Eid Celebration Is Coming!



Few more days to celebrate the Hari Raya! Yippie! Yippie!

Mesti lar seronok.. atas bermacam sebab.. teringat pulak masa kecil-kecil dulu.. time ni me and my sis will be very busy decorating the house.. suma kad-kad raya yang datang berduyun-duyun tu lar jadi mangsa decoration kami.. hehehhe... mula lar pikir dinding mana nak ditampalnya kad-kad ni... pastu baru lar sibuk pikir nak wat kuih raya apa.. selalu nya my sis suka ngelat.. dia suka bab sukat-sukat and bancuh-bancuh.. yg kena terap sapa lagi.. gue leee.. sebab kerja tu kan sangat lambat and membosankan.. i still remembered we managed to make 6 raya biscuits a day before the raya.. memang kelam kabut... cam biasa lar kan.. masa tu lar semua orang berebut nak pakai dapur.. ngan ayah, mak nak masak laa... ktorang pun sibuk gak.. pastu ada kalanye that day lar baru sibuk nak cari baju raya (bukan yang baju kurung tapi baju nak meranggi) hehehe... yup.. memang best! pastu yg paling bess.. dapat main bunga api and mercun lar.. disebabkan ayah ada kedai.. so supplier yg jual bunga api tu selalu bagi ktorang bunga api/mercun yang paling best.. selalunye ayah akan simpan untuk malam raya tu sendiri... dan lepas tutup kedai.. baru ayah keluarkan... ayah our neighbour pun ikut sama join laaa.. memang syokkk.. pastu pagi raya lepas dah salam2 suma orang.. we will get ready to go to singapore.. sbb masa tu arwah atuk and nenek duduk sana.. tapi before ke sana.. our first stop will be our neighbour yg betul2 depan rumah.. rumah Mak Cik Sidah.. mama carries dia sedappp sangat... ngan ada biskut yg kaler pink.. tak ingat aaa biskut apa ntah namanya... pastu baru lar ke singapore.. mengharungi trafik jam yg berjam2 tu macam tak kisah lar sangat.. yelar.. bukannye ktorg yg bawak keta kan.. hehehe.. and of course dah sampai sana.. ngan all the cousin and the uncles and aunties dah ada sana.. memang seronot sangatt... tapi kekadang raya ke-2 or ke-3 baru leh buat camtu.. sebab masa tu arwah atuk and nenek selalu beraya kat mekah dulu before balik ke singapore.. apa pun memang syok..

tapi skrang suma tu dah takde.. actually bukan baru tapi dah lama.. kad raya pun dah susah nak dapat.. biskut tunjuk je yg banyak.. bunga api dah diharamkan.. gathering semakin kurang.. in fact sejak arwah atuk meninggal.. boleh kata langsung takde.. suma orang dah bawak haluan masing2.. yelar bila dah berkeluarga camtu lar kot.. tapi.. memang dah tak sama...

i tried to play my part as a mother.. to let my kids know why raya is important to celebrate.. i still kirim kad raya to the elderly.. i asked anisah to participate.. dia lar tukang jilat stamp.. heheheh.. and untuk abang and akak.. anisah yang tulis sendiri.. of course.. mummy kena eja untuk dia la kan.. but she's excited... skrang ni bukak radio Hot FM.. sebab nak suruh my kids dengar lagu raya (i lost my cd raya btw).. so dia akan appreciate that.. i have yet to let them involve with the biscuits raya baking.. sebab.. oven rumah tu rosak lagi.. and tak sempat nak gi betulkan.. bunga api... susah nak carik.. but already asked ardi to look for it.. even though illegal.. heheheh.. yeah.. the gathering is another thing i kena consider.. lucky.. ardi's family still practising this.. tu pun aku rasa sebab suma orang duduk tak jauh and the mother (ibu) is still very much in power to decide.. but will it still the same soon? aku pun tak tau..

as for my own family.. of course the big gathering will no longer happen.. even in our wildest dreams.. so the gathering will only be between me, my siblings and my mother... tapi tahun ni.. akak tak dapat balik raya.. sebab raya tahun ni jatuh masa awal bulan so akak kena ada kat area KL ni.. she'll be back later.. oleh itu.. we decide for mak to come over here to raya with us.. she'll be staying at akak's place.. as for me.. since mak ada sini.. memang lar tak balik raya pertama.. so first day kat shah alam.. then 2nd day.. amik mak untuk balik JB.. and along the raya beraya lar terus.. abang akan beraya kat rumah mertua dia dulu since mak takde kat JB.. tapi on the 2nd day tu masa bawak mak balik JB.. we will go to his nertua nye rumah kat Batu Pahat.. and after that, I plan to go to our sedara2 nye rumah along the way sampai lar ke JB.. i want that Burasak (bugis nye tradisional food for raya, later i take picture of it ye kalau ingat lar).. as for EE.. untuk kali ke berapa lar.. dia tak dapat beraya ngan kitaorang.. he's now in Switzerland for job training.. i am looking forward for this raya.. tapi baju yang sesuai takde lagi ni.. alamakkkk!!

To all my readers.. SELAMAT HARI RAYA and MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

Our Escapade.. or is it only My Escapade

Ardi have a meeting in Kerteh for the second time in 2 weeks. The first trip, he went with colleagues and stayed at Awana Kijal. He made me feel so envy with his stay there.

So when he told me he had to go again, aku pun dah mula gatal cam nak ikut. More, he said he's going alone. Okey what excuse should I give to go. Oooo the excuse not to Ardi but to my boss. hehehe.. Unfortunately on the night before he left, I had stomach pain, how coincidence huh! And to make matter worst, I was vomitting after had sahur and buang-buang air. So, yeah I found my excuse. Hahahaha... And there I went to the clinic nad explain my situation. Apparently doctor said, I almost got gastric. And without hesitation, I asked doctor to gove me 2 days MC. ahhahaha.. At 11 plus picked up my kids, get them ready to go for the quick journey.

So around 3pm, there we off to Kerteh.. and it felt good. And the pain was over. hahahaha.. We break our fast at Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan before heading to Awana. Upon reaching the room, the kids was frantically excited since there was a jacuzzi tub inside the room. The next morning, both of them woke me up cause tak sabar nak masuk 'swimming pool'. Yup, the jacuzzi tub jadi swimming pool untukd orang. And yeah they really had fun.

Ardi's meeting was at 11am. So by 10.30 we checked out from the hotel and I send him to the Petronas office where the meeting was held. Pastu, nak gi mana ye? Looked at the map, ooo.. Dungun was only 40km away. So I drove the kids to Dungun without knowing what to do there. ooo.. I don't dare to bring the kids to tepi pantai without Ardi. Sampai Dungun, bought new sandals for Anisah. Unfortunately untuk Amil takde yang sesuai. And bought some toys for the kids supaya tak boring dalam kereta. Around 1pm, I drove back to Kerteh, and make a stopover to McDonald's to get lunch for the kids. Apparently, there are only 2 McD outlets throughout the whole Terengganu.

Passing thru the Petronas Oil Refinery amazed me. Wow, this is where the money comes from. Being in Kerteh, make me feel so calm. The place is quiet and very peaceful. I told Ardi I don't mind if he has to transfer to this place. At least less stressful and away from city life which sometimes make me sick.

But the getaway was a pleasant one. ALthough kena melayan kerenah budak kecik dua orang tu.. but it was a good one. Maybe I can do this more often if I don;t have to work kan?? hehehhe

Temperamental Mode

I haven't been in this mode for quite a long time. At least not after I left my previous company. I am very ticked with people who thought there are good at something just because they have stayed in the company fo such a long time. And just because you are wayyyyy older, that doesn't mean what you did is right.

I have just yelled at my colleague because he refused to do what I requested. My request was very simple, to switch On the engine so that I can detect the car location since we have just installed the unit to the car. So I need to get the current location. He said no need to since the unit is already On. How can that be since he just removed the battery and it will not work if the battery is not there and the engine is off. Then only he said he had replaced the battery without me or the admin knowing. He simply did what he thought is right. And now the unit is not active. And who to answer later... THAT WILL BE ME!!! Stupid old man..

Malam Jumaat

My sister's best friend passed away a day after I posted about her in the blog. I was trembling for a while when I heard the news which was during break fast time when my sister called. I had a dream about her last night. My in-law said, it was such a blessing, she passed away on a friday night in bulan Ramadhan.. at least salah satu seksaan terlepas...

Semoga roh Allahyarham Kak Liza dicucuri rahmat.. Al-fatihah
