Mesti ramai mummy di luar sana yang telah menggunakan lampin moden atau 'Cloth Diaper' sebagai ganti lampin pakai buang kan?

Setakat ini saya hanya mempunyai 8 CD sahaja. Biasanya semua kena guna dalam sehari. Ingin menambah koleksi tapi belum berkesempatan.

Walau bagaimanapun, dengan hanya menggunakan 8 CD sudah cukup memberi kesan yang positif terhadap budget lampin pakai buang setiap bulan.

Biasanya untuk lampin pakai buang saya memperuntukan RM200 sebulan. Dengan penggunaan CD saya berjaya menjimatkan perbelanjaan ke lebih kurang RM80 saja. Kira ok la kan. Sebenarnya yang penting rajin cuci lepas pakai dan keringkan.

Ada yang telah mengumpul sampai berpuluh-puluh CD, itu lagilah jimat.

Baby Dane@Bimbim wearing CD with bamboo insert.

Selesa dan jarang sekali dapat ruam. Mau rajin tukar, selepas 2 jam atau sentiasa cek la, kalau rasa banyak kencing sudah, tukar.:)

Next planning, mau tambah collection CD.

Saya mau beli di sana kedai si Nadia (krisnadia.com.my)..hehe..kalau nda silap nama kedai Babylowe Shop, One Borneo, dibelakang kedai Cotton dia bilang. Jom kita pigi beli ramai-ramai. :)

All i see is food and everything looks so yummy!

2012-02-05T18:45:00.000+08:00

Just would like to share my sons latest progress.:)

Here they are, seems like both can get along very well.

My Dane @ Bimbim is now 4 months 5 days.

As a 4 months baby, he grows up accordingly to the standard growth chart. He started showing interest to everything around him. Especially food. Kesian, terpaksa la setiap kali makan, mesti calit sikit2 di mulut dia baru dia puas hati. During Chinese new year pula, dia tertelan tu cebisan limau yang saya bagi dia hisap..nasib teda apa2.. Current hobby is sucking his fingers. Watching tv also one of his hobby. He also loves watching his big brother playing..

Hmm..tommorow is holiday right? Nah, hepi holiday to all ya.:)

Blurry and Zero

2012-01-03T16:39:00.000+08:00

Thats it.

Blurr and zero. As if i am just appointed to this job. Tidak tau apa2 ni.

First day of working after 3 months off from office work thingy.

Baby seja yang ada dalam fikiran.

How is he right now? its thirty minutes to 5pm.

After lunch tadi, sempat lagi saya balik rumah untuk susukan baby..poor him, nampak seja saya di pintu terus bersinar-sinar mata dia. Bila saya acah-acah dan cakap kesian baby, terus mulut dia 'biut' mau menangis..huhu..memang kelaparan, sebab dia tak mau susu botol.

Hati ni hiba melihat dia macam tu apatah lagi bila adik saya cakap dia menangis sepanjang ketiadaan saya. Ya la, 3 bulan berkepit dengan mummy, sudah tentu dia terasa ketiadaan saya. Dan ini hanya hari pertama, esok tak tau lagi..

2012-01-02T23:57:00.000+08:00

Its the second day of the new year.

Yesterday was a bright day.

Today, plus breezy early morning.

It looks like a good sign of a bright days ahead this year, right? Well, everyone hopes the same i think.

Like as usual, i pretty sure each of us busy setting new resolution(s) to be achieved.

For me, its not really a resolution but its more to a 'HOPE (s)' that will be accomplished : career wise. Yes. I mentioned it.

Last year, i gave priority to my personal life rather than career due to my second pregnancy. This year, i hope i achieved another stage in what i am doing now.

Yepp, in line with the new increment given by government to all government servants. I want to excel. Yes, that's it..but don't get me wrong ya..to excel in our work, it needs friends around to support and to work with..mesti bekerjasama la maksudnya. Tidak boleh sendiri-sendiri. Nanti kalau berjaya capai, celebrate sama2 dengan rakan sekerja,lagi terasa puas hati kan..One plan already in the middle of discussion among colleagues..projek besar dan melibatkan pelajar-pelajar juga..tidak sabar rasanya..;)

Tomorrow; my first day working after 3 months maternity leave. Another matter to think of. Baby is doing fine and very healthy. Baby sitter thingy done.

Thanks God it is a good timing i deliver my second child because my younger sister is just finish her study in form 5..nah, apa lagi, terus saya sambar dia jaga baby Dane.

The only thing is si Dane ni tidak mahu susu botol...huhu..i tried to train him tapi berabis menangis. Sehinggalah saya bagi breastfeed. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow.

Memang akan berabis menangis..i also can imagined saya akan lari balik rumah mau kasi susu dia and then lari lagi pigi office sambung kerja...adodoi..tak tau la ni..so, just wait for tomorrow. For whatever it will happen, lets Lord take care of the rest la kan..

So for now, i better go to sleep. Really need to get my mind ready for tomorrow: First time leaving my new Baby Dane to work. Its going to be a tough day, i think.

Happy New Year 2012

2012-01-01T16:19:00.000+08:00

I am really feel like giving the world a loud 'Hello", right now. Macam 'mulau-ulau' (gila-gila) saya rasa..haha!

Nah..Its been ages i disappear from the blogging world. Last update was on 16 September last year..uiseh..macam lama sudah tahun lalu kan, padahal baru seja kemarin..hehe!

Apa-apa pun, Selamat Tahun Baru 2012 untuk semua, untuk sesiapa saja yang terlimpas blog saya hari ini. Semoga tahun ini lebih baik dari tahun lalu dan rezeki kita semua bertambah-tambah. Amen.

Tahun 2012, hmm..apa yang baru dalam hidup kamurang? Kalau saya sudah tentulah dengan kehadiran si dia ni:

Danzell Jeremy Marius . Turn exactly 3 months old today.

Chubby right? full breastfeeding baby ni. Tidak mau susu botol langsung.

This year absolutely will be more meaningful to us-me and hubby. With two kids to take care..mesti lebih meriah lagi, apatah lagi bila nanti ultraman yang satu ini sudah pandai berjalan..Sementara si abang aka Yong Yong, semakin bijak berkata-kata dan sudah tentu semakin ada kedegilannya.

walau apa pun, saya sangat bersyukur dikurniakan anak-anak yang sihat dan cergas. Rasanya kehadiran anak ke-dua kali ini turut diiringi rezeki yang bertambah dalam kedua-dua karier saya dan juga hubby.

Tahun ini, melalui budget 2012, kami penjawat awam naik gaji, hubby pula dalam masa sebulan bekerja di tempat baru telah 2 kali dinaikkan pangkat..syukur sangat2.

Tapi di sebalik itu, masanya untuk bersama keluarga sedikit kurang dicuri kesibukan melaksanakan tanggungjawab baru..hmm..itu pun patut disyukuri juga la kan.

and me? will try harder to get use to it..will be a stronger independent mama! :) Agaknya, boleh jadi azam baru saya la ini kan? hehe.

16 September

2011-09-21T12:07:00.008+08:00

I am 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant..yesterday's check-up i am weighing 61kg... time flies. Super fast! Its almost time or to be in exact..ANYTIME. How i wish i deliver my baby today! The waiting is not a good thing to do..

However so far, i do not yet feel any contraction but its the other matters that make me so uncomfortable.I can not even walk properly due to the pain i feel 'down there' . Its because baby's head is entering the 'pelvic bones' to get ready to be delivered..anytime till the due date. Thanks to the doctor and nurses with their clear explanation why in every pregnancy, a mum will experience different problems. I understand more now.

With my belly growing like a superbig honeydew hidden under my cloth (its my colleague refering my belly to a honeydew,..haha!) still come to the office and settle things that i should before i give birth. Still teaching too and respect me for not just sitting at teacher's desk while teaching..masih larat ba berdiri ni selama 2 jam utk ajar tu budak-budak..:)

Hubby is on leave already, just to make sure he is available whenever i need him. Grateful to have him around, especially in the matter of doing housechores..preparing meals, doing laundry, helping me to handle our growing son YongYong with his increasing demands,..and..etc..

Come to mom and baby checklist - all done and ready. If anytime i feel the sign of delivering baby, tinggal angkat seja.. all checked.

Sooo...what's with the title '16 September'?

It was my birthday. The day i turned exactly 32 years old. No big celebration. But i feel so glad that i got all i want on my birthday..cakes. Yes, its plural.i had cheese cake, chocolate cake and tiramisu.... and ice-cream too..vanilla ice-cream coated with chocolate..nyumnyum.!

Also, on the day i turned 32 years old, i made a special visit: I visited my friend Nancy P. Liew - my university-mate, ex-housemate, ex-colleague, an- active blogger, an-online entrepeneur and for sure my good friend, with her new born baby girl ; Neve Sunduvan J..

Me, my son YongYong and Baby Neve on the visit day. :)
(photo reposted from Nancy's blog)

With Nancy & baby Neve in the crib..kesian dia, mau tidur tp kena kacau-kacau..:)

and..extra pictures of that day..my son is on bad mood after being told to not to get things out of Nc's tv cabinet..huhu..sempat lagi ba dia..

Notice the book in front of him? Its a birthday gift from Nancy..contains 60,000 thousands of baby boys' and girls' name that one can choose from...i haven't finished reading it..haha! banyak betul ba..

Still confuse with the babe's gender, not decided to pick any name yet..but i do have a list though..kasi standby seja..:)

Sogo

2011-08-17T21:51:00.003+08:00

Went here just now..

(pict source: both from Mr. google...:)..nda larat mo ambil gambar ba.)

SOGO...It was recommended by some KL-rian friends..my friends has been planning to buy handbags eversince we know that we are attending course in KL. So, we went.. and upon our arrival lets see the pict below;

Shoppers...flooding the ground floor as it giving BIIIIIG discount up to 80% on selected brands.

Kami pun nda ketinggalan juga berebut di sini tadi .

We arrived around 5.30pm..thought not crowded because its time for people to go home, cook and ready to break fasting with family. Rupa-rupanya mana ada,berhimpit-himpit ba..Yang saya hairan tu bila time breaking fast jam 7.30pm, masih lagi ramai tu orang yang sepatutnya breaking fast berhimpit-himpit pilih bag..sanggup minum air saja dulu o semata-mata mau shopping..huhu..

at second floor pula, i saw a father and his child duduk tepi dinding sudah sebab tu anak tidur..maybe his wife too busy shopping kan sampai nda peduli tu anak mau tidur..yang lain sa nampak anak-anak dia makan burger McD seja sambil ikut-ikut mamanya pilih-pilih baju..atukoii..begini la pula orang2 sebelah sini a..(i know bukan semua la kan)

I initially dun want to buy but ended up buying two handbags also from a popular brand..Hey, who doesn't want if it offers RM79 for two handbags o? Its really worth it..

My friends lagi la..beli 4 lagi ooo...hehehee..
Nasib la saya bukan bujang, kalau tidak mesti saya pun sudah pajak tu..and i tell you, memang di Sabah nda pernah ada discount begitu besar and banyak choice..but still i'm proud to be a Sabahan la..walau pun teda sale besar-besaran macam di sini..hehe.

Oh, well..that's my story for today. Till then.

3rd Day

2011-08-17T14:13:00.002+08:00

Its the third day of my day attending course here in KL. Fortunately, the course is carried out easy and informal. So, for sure there is no stress issues here..hehe..Fortunately also, i'm not alone here. There are 7 of us altogether, i mean from my office..siok juga la. Time mengantuk, boleh gurau2 dengan kawan-kawan.

In KL, its the BIIGG discount time in most shopping complexes here..Jadi, apa lagi kami ni..sambil menyelam minum air. In the tentative program sent to us earlier, it said that we gonna have evening session till 11pm, but..yeaaayy!! to the organizer, the bahagian pembangunan latihan dan kerjaya kementerian pengajian tinggi because let us enjoy our evening time. Its free from any course activity. Except for the 2nd evening where the director of the department met us to give some briefing related to the course.

Yesterday evening we went to Bukit Bintang or to be specific sana Sungei Wang and Low Yat Plaza..pheww! boleh tahan juga la penat berjalan especially with me carrying my 8 months baby still in my perut..huahua..but, semangat mau pigi shopping tu ba, kalah tu penat..

And this evening, next shopping complex to go is Sogo..wuhuuu!..lets see what i'm going to buy there.

Meanwhile, thats all for now. got to go. its 2.30 already and its time to back to bussiness. :)

Till then!

2011-08-14T21:59:00.003+08:00

Second time leaving hubby and son since transferred from Johor to Sabah. Called my son just now to say 'good night' and also a good night kiss. He is such a big boy already. Since Friday i told him that i have to send him to his grandma's house instead of to his daycare centre. Telling him the reason that i've to go KL to attend course..Nasib tidak menangis cuma muka dia saja yang nampak sedih time saya say goodbye tadi..miss him already.

Tired..2 hours and half on board and then continue with a bus ride for one hour to hotel where we going to stay for a week. Baby was not calm along the journey.

Maybe he's not comfortable..mummy neither, my dear baby. I guess, we both tired. Plus mummy had a bit breathing problem on flight juz now..but now okay already and baby had stop kicking..Rest well my dear baby. Tomorrow morning must wake up early to have breakfast before course start at 8am.

The room i will stay till Friday. For now, me alone. Don't know if tommorow will get friend or not..sebab tengok list nama peserta kursus tadi masih ada yg belum check-in.

Arrived around 6.15pm tadi petang, check in, mandi and turun makan..makanan di hotel ni not bad. buat masa sekarang nama hotel rahsia dulu. for safety reason, manatau ada orang mau rompak sya ka..haha, kidding ba!..oh ya, makanan di sini kawan cakap sedap, memang sedap..terlebih kenyang ni perut saya sekarang..terlampau lapar kan, sampai makan pun tidak ikut course by course sudah..hentam saja, yang penting perut kenyang.

View from my room. Tingkat 6. Tidak cantik kan?..Tapi ok la sebab hotel ni di tengah-tengah shoplots and ada supermarkets saaana tu yang saya belum ingat nama lagi..time2 rehat boleh la jalan-jalan..
Aishh..buruk juga post saya ni..tidak tentu hala, habis mata mengantuk sudah kali..tapi sempat lagi online.
Ba, sebelum saya menulis lebih buruk lagi, bagus saya tidur dulu la..

Home Grown Beansprout

2011-07-28T12:50:00.004+08:00

Nyum..nyum..nyum..hehe! This was 'bubur kacang hijau' i cooked last weekend. I'm the only one who finshed all of it. Hubby and son not keen to eat..hubby because he memang tidak suka makan, my son because dia tidak biasa makan..Nasib saya masak cukup-cukup untuk saya ja.:)

Since pregnant, i prefer to eat at home rather than outside. If possible, i wanna grow my own vegetable also. Tapi mana ada masa dan yang paling penting, teda tempat saya mau tanam..ni la kalau tinggal kuarters. Mau beli pasu pun malas pula cari tanah lagi..Last-last, paling mudah saya tanam taugeh ja..hihi..nda susah ba..yang penting ada kacang hijau..
letakkan secara rata di bekas yang rata juga..rendam air hingga seluruh permukaan kacang hijau tertutup oleh tu air.

Ni gambar, sehari selepas direndam dalam air..the sprout is coming out already kan..:)
Kalau kering air, tambah sikit2 untuk kekalkan kelembapan tu kacang..

This one is after four days..ready to harvest. I like the colour, different from the beansprout sold at market..ready to cook also, but don't forget to separate its root ya..

Hubby rajin tolong buka tu akar..mau masak kan, kalau saya sorang buka, 1 jam belum habis tu.

Ready to cook..

The final product..sorry, forgotten to take picture while it was fresh from kitchen. Sudah hampir mau habis baru ingat mau ambil gambar. (Menu = beansprout + tauhu).

Sedap dan segar rasa tu taugeh..:)

Praises!

2011-07-26T13:30:00.004+08:00

Some friends has been asking why i wanna smile the whole day today..huahua..
Well, have any one of you outhere praised because of how you look in a particular day?..Huahuahua..again.:)
In my first pregnancy, i never wore maternity dress/gown because i need to ride bus to work. So, i usually wore maternity pants and blouse, and i comfortable with that attire. Never crossed in mind to buy one and wear it..

But, yesterday while doing a little shopping as a preparation to welcome my baby in early October, i saw a maternity gown/dress hung above the babies clothes section..then my heart say

'how do i look in that maternity gown?' ..kept staring at the gowns..hubby then approached me and asked 'why? wanna buy one? maybe you look different when wearing it. Pick one then.' He smile.

Then, i ended buying two gowns, same design;one in pink colour and one in peach colour.(In my heart say; lets see how friends are going to say tomorrow).

Today's morning;

After sending my son to his care centre, heading towards our car where hubby is waiting to send me to office. Getting into the car and sat next to him, this is his word 'mummy looks pretty in that gown.' I looked at him say 'really? thank you. Maybe because you never see me wearing a maternity dress while expecting YongYong (my son)'. Gave him a smile too.

Arrived at office:

Colleague 1 : Morning Eve (my nickname among office mates), you look beautiful in that gown.

Me: Morning too. Really? Well, i feel a bit awkward actually. This is my first time wearing a maternity gown.

Colleague 2: Eh Eve, this is my first time seeing you wearing a maternity gown. Look different but, you look cute!

Me: Thank you dear..duh, your praises makes me feel wanna fly oo! haha!

Colleague 3: Eve, aiyoo..you look so sweet in that gown..feel wanna hug you la.

Me: You are the fourth person praise me today..thank you and come la hug me..haha! (this person is a 'she' ok, not 'he')

Well, thinking back of all friends respons, i now sure that 'i wasn't look that much weird wearing a maternity gown. (' i look weird wearing that gown' kind of thinking all this while just beacuse i never wore even once before).

Yours truly with mute and deaf students during class today for food and beverage service course.

:)...me, 7 months pregnant.

Polytechnic Kota Kinabalu 15th Convocation

2011-07-20T16:23:00.005+08:00

Eat all you want all you can

2011-07-11T13:35:00.007+08:00

Today's post is a sharing about one place you must go if you visit Genting Highland. In more specific, if you go to SkyWay Station. Of course you'll go to this station if you take the cable car to go up Genting Highland.

Its a tid-bits and candies shop. Here is the shop's name. Somewhere around third or fourth floor..Mesti jumpa punya kalau kamu jalan2 di station tu.

Can you see the people all heading to that shop? Nah, i tell you first what is most appealling about this shop: You can eat all you want and all you can before you make final decision which one to buy- FOR FREE..saya apa lagi, semua saya pigi makan. Ibu mengandung la katakan. Makanan ringan yang dijual dalam kedai tu semua menepati citarasa tekak saya..wuahaha! Paling best, bila habis ja tu tester dalam kontena, the staff will keep re-filling tu kontena. Sampai saya dan kawan2 kenyang o, baru kami beli apa yang kami mau. A must re-visit place if i go there again. :)

Part of the tid-bits sold..there got dried cuttlefish, fish, peanut, etc. Saya paling suka tu sotong kering dengan cili..sedap yummy yummy..balik2 sa pigi sebelah sana. The ladies in red are the staff there, re-filling the tester container everytime it finish. And good thing, they wouldn't stare or get mad at you just because you berabis makan tu tester.

More tid-bits..feel like wanna go there right now and have some of them..(drooling sdh sy oo..haha!)

I didn't go up to Genting Highland and not excited to ride the cable car also because i already been there once in 2008. But somehow, i took photo of it la..
A piece of memory..back in 2008 while attending a seminar at Genting International Convention Centre (GICC), photo taken by Ms. NancyPeter of Life's A Beach Sometimes, at the SkyWay Genting Car Park with the superfriendly monkeys.
Tried to search our picture inside the cable car but couldn't find the folder in my laptop.

That's all for now. :)

Can u see the 'balls'?

2011-06-24T09:58:00.002+08:00

Hehe..yesterday evening after work, i went for baby scanning at a clinic nearby quarters. I was eager to know my baby's gender since i came back from the two weeks course at Institut Aminuddin Baki, Genting Highland.

So, we went..

At first tu doktor tengok2 dulu and print tu baby picture. Then, dia pusing tu skrin computer bagi saya tengok pula,,huhu..nampak la tu baby bergerak2. Doktor bagi tengok bahagian kaki, tangan, kepala, jantung..

then i ask the doctor pula,

'boleh nampak ka jantina dia?

'Boleh..sebenarnya saya sudah nampak tadi. Mari kita cari2 lagi ..' (haha..mcm cari barang tersembunyi pula).

Mata saya pun nda berkelip sudah mencari, ikut tu scanner..

'nah, can u see the 'balls'? bilang tu doktor.

'Macam si Daniel juga ni'..dia bilang lg.

Saya pun tingu la betul2..memang saya nampak ada bayangan bulat2 di celah kaki baby..but honestly, saya pun nda pasti.

Then, doktor kasi tingu lagi,

'nah, yang ini pula dia punya 'batang'..dia bilang.

saya tingu lagi betul2, memang mcm nampak ada satu benda panjang dan cute dekat2 tu balls..

duh, dalam hati saya, mcm konfirm ja baby boy lagi ni..

sedih satu minit ja la..then saya cepat2 cakap dengan doktor,

'nda pa la, yang penting si baby sihat2 di dalam'.

pas tu, doktor pun cakap,

'ada la kawan Daniel nanti ni main bola'. Nda pa, nda la membazir barang mainan Daniel kan?

Ya, doktor. Baju2 pun boleh la si adik pakai..sambil saya senyum2 membalas kata2 doktor tu..(mcm tau2 ja doktor tu yang saya mau baby girl kan?).

Honestly, saya tidak la sedih sangat kalau memang baby boy lagi..Lepas tengok baby di screen tu dan nampak jantina baby, trus otak saya ligat mencari nama baby sudah.

Kalau yang Yong2 Daniel Jeconiah, adik dia?..hmmm..mau fikir2 sudah nama2 yang ada iras2 nama Yong2 juga..thinking and thinking..nda sabar sudah baby keluar pula ni..sebab saya dah plan yang saya mau cuti 3 bulan full! Yeah..hehe!

Sebenarnya ada dua picture baby yang kena print tapi tiada pula bawa di ofis. Nanti la sia kasi share2 ya..:p.

Leaving Genting 2mrw to be with hubby and son again. Yipee!

2011-06-19T16:44:00.003+08:00

Today is last the last day of our long course here in IAB..punya la lega rasanya..hari ni si baby dalam perut pun diam2 ja.

Tidak la mcm hari2 sebelumnya selama 2 minggu di sini..asyik tendang-tendang perut mummy saja. Memang betul la, emosi ibu akan mempengaruhi emosi si baby dalam perut juga. Kalau ibu tension, si baby pun ikut tension juga, tu la pasal asyik tendang2 saja tu.

Hari ini, ketensionan tu dah turun sebab tak perlu kuliah lagi. Esok pagi adalah exam, tapi saya malas mau fikir, susah2 hati. Jawab saja la mana yang dapat.

Tu s/u kursus kami cakap konfirm boleh jawab and lulus..Nanti la malam baru belek2 tu nota-nota. Kejap lagi mau keluar dengan kawan-kawan pigi makan tomyam sana Gohtong. Bosan sudah makanan di cafe sini.

Tapi sebelum tu, saya kasi tingu dulu tu tangga tinggi yang hari-hari kawan-kawan saya naik dari asrama IAB ke bilik kuliah.

Dikenali sebagai 'tangga sihat' di kalangan staff IAB. Terdapat 177 anak tangga untuk sampai ke atas. Nasib la saya pregnant dan ada kawan yang baru dikenali juga, sudi tumpangkan saya setiap hari dengan sorang lagi kawan yang juga pregnant..lepas kuliah mau balik asrama, kalau rajin saya turun la ikut tangga ni, tapi kalau terlampau penat sudah, tumpang lagi kereta kawan..penat o naik ni tangga. Hari pertama tu memang saya naik ni tangga, sebab belum kenal kawan. Ada la dalam 15 minutes baru sampai atas, sebab 5/6 kali berhenti tengah jalan. Kalau saya nda pregnant, nda kesah juga naik ni tangga. Ada kawan yang kursus sama first batch siap kaji jumlah anak tangga yang dinaiki selama 16 hari berada di sini..ya la, bayangkan dalam sehari, naik 2 kali, turun 2 kali. Kalau tambah jadi 4 kali la kiranya guna ni tangga dalam sehari. pas tu darab dengan 4 x 177 = 7,128 anak tangga dinaiki dalam 16 hari. Boleh kurus oo..

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

hehe..sambung lagi post ni..baru balik dari makan tom yam dengan kawan-kawan. Rasa puas juga la sebab dari awal datang sini memang teringin nak makan tom yam. Tapi tidak puas hati sangat sebab tom yam seafood yang saya bayangkan tidak sama seperti yang dihidang. Kalau di Johor, tom yam sea food memang puas hati sangat makan sebab dalam tom yam tu ada ketam seekor, ada kupang, ada udang masih dengan kepalanya, sotong dan isi ikan. Tapi yang tadi teda..huhu! nda pa la sebab yang penting termakan sudah. Kawan-kawan cakap, sini genting tanah tinggi, tu ketam sama tu kupang nda larat mau naik..haha! Ada-ada ja.

Okay la, sekarang ni mau kemas beg sudah..nda sabar sudah betul mau balik Sabah. Rasanya cukup lama sudah berada di sini. Terbayang-bayang sudah saya besok tarik2 beg di airport mau balik Sabah..haha!

Okay la, till then ya.:)

Hello From Genting Highlands!

2011-06-17T18:54:00.005+08:00

Its a long rest from blogging and only now i feel ease to write something here. Maybe blogger friends already forgotten me..;) Harap-harap masih ada yang ingat saya la kan..

The course that attend here in Institut Aminudin Baki (IAB) is almost coming to the end. Another 4 days to go..yepss..i'm counting..since the first day i came here..

Semangat mau berkursus pun hampir-hampir mau hilang sudah. Too tired physically and mental juga..tambahan lagi dengan membawa si baby dalam perut turun naik kelas..penat oo..apatah lagi sekarang ni, kerap sangat si baby bergerak. Kadang2 macam terasa sakit perut saya ni ditendang2 dari dalam. Lama sangat duduk kan dalam sehari, agaknya dia tak selesa. Time baring2 ja dia diam sikit.

Cerita tentang kursus lagi, dua tugasan penting sudah selesai setakat ini.

Tugasan individu, sudah siap sejak semalam. Sengaja nda mau print dulu sebab kawan2 baik saya belum siap.

Ini la ini kan, mau tunggu kawan juga. Tapi nda pa ba, yang penting sudah siap sebab saya start awal kumpul bahan dan taip contents pun awal. Kawan2 yang lain pula baru mau pening kepala fikir. Padahal besok lusa mau antar sudah..tapi lagi, nda pa ba tu, saya tau diorang akan siap juga itu. Mesti la kasi siap, kalau tidak, tiada markah. Silap-silap kena ulang course ni. Nda ka bikin malu tu..pensyarah kena ulang kursus KIPA..

Tugasan kumpulan pun sudah dibentangkan petang tadi. Maka itulah malam ni otak saya free sikit..ada semangat sikit mau update blog..:)

Eh, ya kan..saya nda bagitau pula kursus KIPA ni apa..

Nama penuh : Kursus Kepimpinan Instruksional dan Pembangunan Andragogi.

Kursus ni khusus untuk pensyarah politeknik yang tiada kelulusan ikhtisas aka ijazah atau diploma pendidikan. Macam saya la ini dan kebanyakan pensyarah politeknik di Malaysia.
Mengikut maklumat penceramah tu, kalau yang KPLI(Kursus Perguruan Lepasan Ijazah) tu, kursus ni diambil selama setahun. Kami pula hanya 2 minggu. Dan bayangkan kepadatan jadual dan kepadatan ilmu juga yang dicurahkan kepada kami. Sampai ada penceramah yang beri kuliah macam keretapi semata-mata mengejar masa untuk memberi input sebanyak mana yang dapat.

Kami yang mendengar?

Macam mau muntah sudah, setengah jam pertama kuliah otak sudah melimpah-limpah maklumat masuk. Terpaksa juga terima sebab memang penting2 semua topik yang dikuliahkan. hampir 2 minggu sudah begini, nasib otak nda pecah..

Yang bagusnya pula, 95% kuliah disampaikan dengan begitu berkesan, sesuai dengan pendekatan andragogi, penglibatan peserta kursus sangat aktif. Pensyarah2 di sini memang profesional dan berpengalaman serta menguasai bidang masing-masing. Manakan tidak, semuanya adalah cikgu-cikgu daripada sekolah yang berpengalaman bertahun-tahun. Mereka memohon menjadi pensyarah IAB, pas tu mengajar cikgu2, pengetua-pengetua, kakitangan sekolah bukan mengajar dan juga pensyarah2 macam kami. Kalau warga sekolah tu, memang tidak asing la nama IAB ni.

Tadi kami sempat meninjau-ninjau carta organisasi di papan kenyataan berdekatan bilik kuliah,ternyata semua pensyarah di sini bertitle 'pensyarah kanan'..huh, patut la semuanya nampak hebat belaka. Bolehkah saya jadi sehebat mereka nanti? Uisehh..soalan tu ba,..haha! Mudah-mudahan. Apa yang penting, kenalah komited dengan tanggungjawab mengajar dan di samping tu menjalankan tugas2 pengurusan juga dengan penuh dedikasi..Cewah..!:)
Kesimpulannya, walau pun belum habis, kursus ni memang menyuntik semangat yang sangat banyak kepada diri saya. Saya paling menghargai topik2 tentang strategi pengajaran dan pembelajaran, pengurusan disiplin pelajar, nilai2 murni penjawat awam dan psikologi pendidikan. Banyak yang boleh diaplikasikan bila balik ofis nanti.

Ok la, cukup dulu setakat ni. Kalau rajin update esok, mau tayang2 gambar kami di Strawberry Farm pula. Mau upload sekarang tapi penat pula perut saya duduk lama2 ni.

So, till then.;)

Kaamatan Festival Holiday

2011-05-25T16:35:00.002+08:00

I'm in the mood of holiday already. Starting tommorrow untill 3rd June 2011. Lama kan? Hehehe..sekali sekala ba and banyak aktiviti juga mau buat cuti2 ni.

The first thing, will be busy helping MIL family preparing for my Sister -In- Law wedding this coming Sunday. But, i guess i'll be busy 'watching only' cause i easily get tired now..teda la mau pigi menyibuk sangat buat kerja ni nanti. Mau dapat pengecualian ni, mau tidur saja lagi tu. Si baby dalam perut start kicking already and i can feel which direction the baby goes everytime she/he moves. Siok! :)

Yong2 was funny last night. We were sitting next to each other watching tv. Suddenly he asked: 'Mummy, ada bola ka dalam perut mummy?

'..hahaa..whereas he knows already there is a baby inside my growing belly.

There was one time he talked to me,

'Mummy, lambat betul baby keluar kan mummy?'

hmm..i guess, tidak sabar sudah kali dia ada kawan main and belai-belai baby. From my observation, he likes baby. If there is baby around, he will insist to hold the baby even baby belongs to stranger..bagus juga la, maksudnya dia boleh terima kehadiran adik dia ni nanti kan..:)

Its 5 minutes to 5pm..sioknya, kejap lagi saya akan lupa sekejap 'office things' sampai la 3hb june. But bad news nanti saya kena kursus 17 hari di genting highlands till 21 June. aiyoyo..almost half month o.

Without hubby and Yong2 again..Berat rasa hati mau pigi kursus lama2 tapi demi kerjaya, kena juga..sooner or later kena pigi juga. kalau baby no 2 ni lahir lagi la berat rasa hati mau pigi..huhu..

Anyway, wish me luck ya!

And, i wish everyone 'selamat menyambut pesta kaamatan. Peringatan: Don't Drink and Drive!:)

Feeling Down.

2011-05-20T10:26:00.003+08:00

I don't like this feeling. Though i am smart enough to hide it from everyone around me but, inside i'm crying. I hate it, really!

Well, i think that it shouldn't be as complicated as this if you respons to me positively at the first time. But you didn't. You let my feeling drown with dissapointment until i couldn't bear it any longer.

Is it to difficult to handle me? some more in my condition right now. You never understand, a woman need to be persuaded whenever she is sulking. Easy right?

See what happen when you keep your EGO maintain? World is made two for us. One is yours and one is mine. I am sure, neither your or me like it.

You say, you are going to be crazy of this, but i tell you, you are the one who made it this worst.

Not me.

You want it this way, you get exactly like this. Satisfy now? I hope you do.

19 Weeks - we are doing great.

2011-05-19T09:32:00.004+08:00

Thanks God, i am doing fine in my 19th weeks of pregnancy except for my HB climbdown.

Monthly review, Monday, 16th May 2011.

My HB is as low as 9.8 seja..aduii..susah betul mau maintain HB ni tau. Padahal saya makan sudah iron tablet, and semua makanan yang ada zat besi.. a bit frust actually. nasib la saya nda kena suruh jumpa doktor seminggu sekali untuk cek HB.

Berat pula, sudah naik dari 48kg to 51kg. Patut la sesak sudah nafas sia kalau mau tidur..baby is getting bigger!

First review with doctor and scan baby, 18th May 2011.

Saya harap2 tu doktor friendly and boleh bagitau gender si baby tanpa ditanya. Tapi, doktor tu kurang bercakap. Saya pula, macam biasa tanya itu ini, tapi doktor jawab sepatah ja.

First question keluar dari mulut sia bila tu scanner sudah berjalan-jalan di atas perut sy ialah

'boleh nampak jantina ka doktor?

Si doktor jawab nda jelas. Saya pun tidak pasti apa tu perkataan dia cakap.

Next question saya tanya:

'Baby saya satu orang saja ba kan dok?

Doktor tersengih,

'satu orang saja ba.'

hihi..jawapan doktor tu telah menamatkan teka teki yang bermain di fikiran selama ni. Teka teki apa pula tu?

Okay, sebenarnya, saya teringin mengandungkan anak twins ba. My father-in-law twins, my brother-in-law pun twins juga.

Jadi, ada ka peluang saya untuk dapat anak twins tu a? Hehe..

Kali ini, sudah pasti bukan twins la. Eisehh..kali ini kunu. Tidak tau ada lagi ka lain kali ni..just wait and see la kan..kalau larat lagi menambah ..:)

A wish that touched a teacher's heart

2011-05-18T11:09:00.003+08:00

Hi friends..rindu pula saya dengan blog ni..Sempena hari guru yang lalu, ada ka perkara yang menarik berlaku dalam diari kita sebagai pendidik?

Walaupun 16 May 2011 sudah berlalu, tapi saya tetapa ingin wish kawan2 cikgu dan lecturer 'selamat hari guru'..bolehkan ungkapan ini ditukar ke 'selamat hari pendidik?'..rasanya pendidik membawa maksud yang lebih umum merangkumi pensyarah juga dan semua pihak yang tugasnya adalah mendidik..ucapan PM hari tu pun tak sentuh langsung perkataan 'pensyarah'..dia sebut guru sahaja..bukan tidak puas hati dan mahu dijadikan isu tapi setakat mahu berkongsi apa yang dirasa. Saya gembira juga sebab pelajar-pelajar saya pun tidak lupa menghantar ucapan selamat hari guru pada hari itu. Kebetulan 16 May tarikh keputusan peperiksaan pelajar2 politeknik juga dikeluarkan.

Setakat ingin berkongsi juga, saya agak tersentuh dengan sms seorang pelajar yang telah saya ajar kursus Matematik Perkhidmatan Makanan semester yang lalu. Pelajar ini seorang yang agak 'laser' mulutnya dalam kelas tapi sangat bermotivasi mahu belajar. Kerana mulut lasernya itu juga, ada beberapa orang pensyarah juga tidak menyukainya..Tapi bagi saya, tak kisah la mulut laser ka apa ka, yang penting saya ikhlas mengajar dengan mengetepikan semua sifat negatif pelajar..berikut adalah sms yang dihantar pada saya sejurus dia menerima keputusan semester:

sms 1:

'Petang miss. Erra ni DHK3B. Miss terima kasih sebab ajar saya dengan baik dalam kelas selama 1 sem ni. Walaupun miss lecturer baru di polikk tp dengan miss ja sy rapat. Dengan berkat ilmu yang miss bagi sy bersyukur pointer saya sem lalu naik 2.92 dan mendapat Anugerah Ketua Jabatan (AKJ). Menangis dan sangat terharu tengok result tadi miss. apa2 pun, HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY miss. My GBU miss.

sms 2:

'hehe..semua pun sbb miss juga, sy suka cara miss mengajar. sy sgt2 faham apa yang miss ajar. harap2 sem 5 ni miss ajar kami lagi. kalau bukan kerana miss, pointer sy mungkin tak tinggi mcm ni. sy pun menangis tgk result sy td.terima kasih tidak terhingga ya miss sbb sanggup layan kerenah sy. hehe..'

Membaca sms dari student ni membuatkan saya terharu sangat2 juga. Kadang2 kita tidak dapat menjangka apa yang kita usahakan akan diiktiraf sebegitu tinggi oleh seseorang pelajar. Nilai ilmu yang disampaikan tiada bandingnya dan sampai bila2 pun kita akan dihargai. Begitulah kepuasan yang dirasai oleh seorang pendidik kan? Motivasi diri untuk membuat yang lebih baik dalam menyampaikan ilmu kepada anak-anak bangsa sedikit sebanyak mempengaruhi persepsi positif terhadap diri sendiri juga. betul ka itu? hehe..betul..

I am now a Nuffnanger!

2011-05-05T10:23:00.003+08:00

Hehe..today i re-registered my blog in the Nuffnang..okey, okey..i know for you outhere''ish..lama sudah ba ni Nuffnang ni, baru dia mau join?'..hehe..

Allright, i tell you why i made decision as one of the Nuffnanger today. I am very particular with anything in the internet required me to fill in my I/C number, account number or anything that is supposed to be confidential..

You know why right? its because there are so many 'monkey businesses' actively being promoted. Silap haribulan, kena tipu kita...

i take sometimes to wait and see other friends joining and what happen to them afterwards. And congrates for Nuffnang because you gain my attention..tidak salah ba kan berhati-hati.

And.. congrates to Nancy sebab sudah dapat cek pertama dari Nuffnang..hehe. Sebenarnya saya tunggu ko sama cath dulu dapat tu baru saya mau join balik..baru la saya percaya..hehe.

and what's with this picture?..its me in my 2nd trimester of my pregnancy. I cut my hair short and to keep it short this year. Firstly, i want to straighten my hair (perm in planning too) but when i know i'm pregnant, cancelled the plan. I strongly believe, its not good to straighten or perm hair while pregnant. Yupp, i did my reserch. Nanti ada kesan sama baby dalam kandungan.

Smiling widely because within the short time given, i managed to finish marking all the mathematics paper, did the final questions analysis, student mark analysis and bla bla..(sorry, no body wants to know what are the boring tasks i carried out in the office, just would like to share share ba ni :)..) May be its the baby gave me all the strengths. Last long weekend had been sacrificed to just stay at home finishing my job..padahal, i really want to mandi laut last week..:(. but its okay, there is holiday on 17th May kan?..yeay, nda sabar sudah mandi laut ni!

Yours truly..Uzoeiy@Zoi.

'Puan, minta maaf. Saya tidak tau apa-apa'

2011-04-27T08:45:00.002+08:00

'Puan, minta maaf. saya tidak tahu apa-apa'.

(Ingin saja saya gambar dan pos nota pelajar tu di sini, tapi tak sampai hati pula)

Sebagai pendidik, apa perasaan kawan-kawan bila pelajar meninggalkan nota di kertas jawapan peperiksaan yang berbunyi seperti di atas?

Sedih. Mahu marah. atau memberi respon seperti 'Nah, padanlah muka budak ni, siapa suruh tidak belajar, selalu ponteng kelas dan bila ditanya faham atau tidak, jawapannya faham saja.'

Kes pelajar yang meninggalkan nota sedemikian adalah pelajar saya sendiri yang mengambil kursus/modul Matematik Perkhidmatan Makanan. Peperiksaan berlangsung semalam atau orang Sabah cakap 'kemarin.' Keluar dari dewan peperiksaan kurang dari sejam peperiksaan bermula.

Kursus ini diajar 5 jam seminggu dan pelajar ni tidak hadir selama 15 jam. Dalam undang-undang politeknik, kehadiran kurang 80% tidak layak menduduki peperiksaan akhir.

Nasibnya baik, bila dihitung kehadirannya masih cukup. So, terpaksa la saya bagi peluang untuk dia menduduki peperiksaan akhir walaupun pada pendapat saya pasti pelajar ini tidak akan dapat menjawab soalan.

Memang betul dugaan saya. Macam mana la mahu jawab kalau banyak topik dia ketinggalan. Nampaknya saya kena jumpa dia lagi semester depan untuk kursus yang sama. Apa yang patut saya lakukan nanti untuk pastikan budak ni berubah?..akan difikirkan nanti..

Agak kontra dengan pelajar saya yang lain yang agak gembira dengan soalan-soalan yang keluar. Kebanyakannya telah kami buat latihan secara insentif dalam kelas. Ada yang siap salam saya dengan penuh keharuan ketika saya memantau mereka sewaktu peperiksaan berlangsung. Gembira sangat dapat jawab soalan la tu. Sebagai pensyarah yang mengajar mereka, terbit perasaan bangga dalam hati, tidak sia-sia saya timbunkan latihan tambahan untuk mereka.

Dan sekarang ini, dalam kesibukan memeriksa 100 set jawapan matematik, sempat juga saya merehatkan mata dan tangan untuk mengupdate blog..hihi..

concentrate sangat pun pening juga kan..

Lepas ni, mau makan biskut dan milo dulu baru sambung tanda paper..Baby dalam perut lapar sudah..:) :)..

Nice day to u all.

Officially 3 Years Old.

2011-04-26T14:46:00.006+08:00

Yong2 is officially 3 years old last friday, 22 April 2011. It was an unplanned celebration actually. so, that's why i bought only half kg cake and requested the bakery to add an ultraman toy in the cake.
His best buddy juga la..mesti ada. Notice the ultraman knee wrapped with black sellotape? He broke it but we taught him to repair and not to throw away any of his broken toys..kira pendidikan juga ba tu kan..supaya nanti besar dia pandai fikir, kalau barang rosak cuba baiki dulu sebelum buat keputusan untuk buang.

Didn't want to blow the candles but kept talking to his niece and nephew.

Mummy have to interfere. Macam itu nephew dia yang mau tolong tiup tu lilin. Si birthday boy pula asyik ketawa.

Hmm..since it was an unplanned family party, i with the help of my sis in law (hubby's side) prepare this simple dish~ Laksa Sarawak. I used 'mee kuning' instead of bihun / mee hun..Yummy juga la..because i used the original laksa paste which i bought last time i transit at Kuching Airport..senang juga pula mau masak tu kan..:)
The smile of a 3 years old brother to be.

May the coming days, weeks, months and years will be a blissful and joyful journey, son. Mummy and Daddy loves you!

P/S: I noticed that, approaching 2nd trimester in my pregnancy progress, i slowly getting back my appetite..happy. Its time to get bigger and at least hubby, my mum and mum in law wouldn't be so worry seeing me rejecting food and just lying down every time i came back from work.

HaPpY MOoD!:)

I actually love taking pictures!

2011-04-14T15:03:00.006+08:00

..especially nature pictures! Even though i do not own expensive camera but still i love taking pictures..That's why i love going to nature sites where hills, rivers, sea, trees, animals, flowers and all nature elements can be found..siok ba.

I consider my kampung is one of the place that i will like the most even it is not a tourist site, but it does have all the elements. I always feel reluctant to going back to town whenever my holiday is over..macam mau tinggal di kampung ja. Just if Kudat has polytechnic, i'll be the first person apply for transfer.

Seja-seja mau share, the pictures below were taken last January when we went back to my beloved village.'Kampung Lokoton, Kudat'. Its only the pictures itselves. teda edit-edit..:)

My sister..on the way to our paddy farm to collect some vegetables.

The Bamboo shoot.

The banana trees. Usually planted nearby our paddy farm.

The swamp area. I used to play and find crab here during my young days.

The baby pumpkin.

The unripe paddy / rice. I miss the harvesting season where the greeny paddy farm will turn to gold as the rice already ripe.

Si katak. I always see this kind of frog at our home during raining and during harvesting season, it will stay at our rice storage. My mum said, 'Jaga padi ba tu'..

Ikan keli @ catfish. In Rungus we call it 'Gomutan'. I used to imagine that when a centipede fell into river, it will transform to a catfish..huahua..funny! That's why i do not eat this fish.

That's all..ermm i think i like my enttry today so much! :)

Good Morning!

2011-04-13T08:03:00.002+08:00

Just would like to share a note that i think will motivate everyone in the office..It is in the notice board inside the Sabah Tea Garden factory.

'Tagal' sg. Moroli Kg Luanti Ranau

2011-04-11T16:27:00.005+08:00

I am having a headache right now. Maybe because i exposed to the hot wether this morning during visit to The Green Connection in Likas.

That's why i post picture only. Kata orang, lets the picture talk..i believe many knows already the existence of this place.

The entrance. The signboard is on the left. A small hut cum gift shop cum registration counter and get their ticket. Here, visitors can watch the slideshow before proceeding to the river where the fish are waiting..:)

The signboard with a big fish replica.

The students enjoying the fish massage.

Everyone heading to the river.

It was raining the day/night before. We were so unlucky cause can't see the fish clearly. The water is cloudy.

Me and Ms. Darmah, the translator for the mute and deaf students.

After 15 minutes enjoying the fish massage, its time to wash our feet and say goodbye to the fish. Time ni semua kaki merah-merah digigit oleh ikan2 kecil yang kunu-kunu mengurut. Kalau yang ikan besar barulah best rasa dia, sebab bibirnya tebal. Lembut ja kena di kaki.

Students, trying to catch the fish.

Its worth visiting this place with only rm5 entrance fee for foot massage only and rm10 if you want to 'mandi' with the fish.

For sure will come back here again with my family.:)

Just a Friday Note

2011-04-07T08:26:00.004+08:00

Betul la apa orang cakap. Seseorang wanita akan mengalami pengalaman yang berbeza setiap kali mengandung. Bagi saya pula, mungkin Tuhan memberi saya kesenangan pada kali pertama mengandung. Semua yang saya alami sekarang adalah berlawanan dengan pengalaman pertama. Cabaran mengandungkan si kecil dalam perut ni saya rasa amat menguji kesabaran dan ketahanan fizikal saya. Mungkin sebab itulah semakin rajin juga jari jemari ini meng 'google' penyebab-penyebab kepada beberapa pengalaman yang dulu tidak saya rasai. Antaranya ialah:

1. Kenapa ibu hamil selalu muntah-muntah setiap pagi, selepas makan? Macam saya pagi tadi, dah sedap2 makan bubur nasi 2 mangkuk kecil, bila sampai kat sinki automatik tekak rasa loya. Habis semua muntah balik. Geram juga rasanya.

Mengikut info dari http://www.infosihatselalu.com.my/ dan http://www.blog.kesihatanonline.com.my/ muntah-muntah yang dialami ibu hamil disebabkan oleh tekanan ke atas yang diberikan oleh bayi yang sedang membesar ke atas perut dan usus kecil. Ye la, uterus si ibu kan makin membesar untuk memberi ruang kepada bayi yang semakin membesar juga. Kali ni tidak tahu la saya sampai bila saya mau muntah2 ni.

Tidak sabar rasanya berlalu. Dulu hubby yang pajak semua 'morning sickness' ni..sampai demam panas 2 minggu..kali ni senyum2 dia sebab satu pun tidak kena sama dia. Tapi bagus juga sebab dia boleh buat semua yang saya tidak boleh.

2. Pedih ulu hati..hmm..kerap sangat saya rasa sejak mengandung. Seolah-olah tidak cukup makan. Tapi sebenarnya bukan kurang makan. Selepas makan, kandungan isi perut si ibu ditolak kembali ke saluran makanan @ esofagus. Kalau yang saya faham secara mudah, makanan tu tidak sampai ke perut la. Pernah sekali gara-gara pedih ulu hati ni, saya bangun jam 3 pagi makan nasi 2 sudu campur air suam dan garam. Setengah jam lepas tu baru boleh tidur balik.

3. kenapa saya cepat lelah / penat..itu disebabkan oleh kekurangan zat besi dalam badan. Kira kurang la zat besi badan saya ni. Tapi bukanlah tiap hari. Kena makan banyak makanan mengandungi zat besi macam seafood, kekacang, sayuran hijau seperti bayam dan banyak lagi la..tapi kalau memang selera kurang, macam mana juga kan. Terpaksa la saya bergantung sepenuhnya dengan supplement yang hospital bekalkan.

4. Kenapa kaki saya kejang /'cramp'. Biasanya memasuki trimester kedua barulah ibu hamil mengalaminya tapi saya ni terawal pula. Nurse cakap, kurang kalsium. Kali ni, saya tidak berapa suka minum susu ibu hamil. Hari tu belum lagi kena confirm pregnant, sudah saya beli Anmum Vanilla yang 600gm ka 650gm tu.. Hampir dua bulan baru habis. Tekak ni tidak boleh terima pula. Susu kacang soya pun kurang juga. Tak tau la susu lain. belum cuba lagi. Hari ni bercadang untuk shopping barang dapur dengan hubby. Jadi ambil kesempatan untuk survey susu la ni. Dan juga..beli sayur banyak2. Sebab itu ja la yang tekak ni tidak jemu mau makan.

Hmm..mungkin lain orang lain pula pengalaman time mengandung ni. Saya tidak la teruk sangat cuma yang membuatkan saya rasa teruk ni sebab semuanya tidak berlaku dulu. Kira lengkap la barangkali pengalaman mengandung ni. Sudah mengalami yang senang dan yang susah. Yang saya berdebar-debar lagi ni adalah bila nak bersalin lagi..Kalau dulu senang2 Yong2 keluar, adik dia ni i have no idea bilang tu orang putih..huhu!

Oops ya..ada tu makcik cleaner office bagitau saya kan, kalau anak first gigi bawah dia keluar dulu, means anak kedua mesti perempuan. Hasil pengamatan dia kepada menantunya yang sekarang dah anak ketiga. Dia cakap, cucu dia first lelaki gigi bawah keluar dulu. Konfirm katanya kedua ni mesti girl. Betul pula. Then, yang baby girl tu pula gigi atas keluar dulu. Konfirm lagi katanya yang ketiga ni mesti boy. Eh, betul juga lagi..

Jadi, dari pengalaman makcik tu rasanya baby girl la kali ni sebab Yong2 keluar gigi bawah dulu hari tu..happy! (duii..macam yakin ja..hahaa..sebenarnya saja2 ja. tak kisah pun. Yang penting sihat).

Bukan perut sebenar ye!

Politeknik Kota Kinabalu Mute and Deaf Students Educational Visits to Ranau

2011-04-06T08:15:00.007+08:00

Date of visit: 30/3/2011

Location: Sabah Tea Garden, Kg Luanti Ranau.

It is part of the semester break activity for the mute and deaf students. Diorang pun mau juga enjoy ba kan. Lagi pun ramai dari negeri lain terutamanya Sarawakian yang last semester sudah.

The whole visit was great and ada 2 info yang saya rasa worth to share :

Number 1. According to the guide if you want to examine either the tea is in its original colour or not, use cold water (room temperature). If the tea is coloured (untuk penjimatan la tu) the added colour to the tea usually dissolve faster in the water but if no colouring added it takes one or two minutes to see the colour (black tea of course) dissolve in the water..Naa..kalau beli teh, berhati2 la ya..jangan beli yang kena tambah warna. Untuk jangka masa panjang tidak baik untuk kesihatan, bilang itu guide.

Number 2. Kalau mau uji lagi..guna tisu pun boleh. Basahkan tea yang mau diuji tu, then letak di atas tisu. mana-mana teh yang diwarnakan akan menyebabkan tisu berubah dengan cepat mengikut pewarna.

The Sabah Tea Garden - as far as the eyes can see..sorry for the low quality of picture. Camera nda canggih kan. Tapi pemandangan memang cantik..

The tea-ready to be packed. Visitors are not allowed to enter the packaging room for hygiene purpose. Naa, biasanya pada tahap ni la warna ditambahkan kepada teh sebelum dipek.

The withering phase of just harvested tea leaves.Naturally dried before proceeded to the next process. The guide said it takes 8-16 hours of withering the tea leaves.

The registration office. Its my second time being here actually. Tapi masih tetap suka ni tempat.

The excited faces of the student upon departure from polytechnic.

My first and 2nd pregnancy: The Difference.

2011-03-17T09:57:00.011+08:00

The latest me..di depan pintu masuk 'Tagal', Sg. Moroli, Kg Luanti Ranau. --will blog about my visit to Tea Garden and Kg Luanti last week.

Chak!:)

My pregnancy has come to the 11th weeks. But my belly still look flat. Macam tiada apa2 dalam perut. Poor baby, its maybe because this time i don't really have good appetite. So, lambat baby membesar. I guess la.

If compared to my first pregnancy i noticed certain things that i didn't experience. Just would like to share on what have been going since 2 months ago:

1. I easily get mad at things that i don't use to. Especially when students do not understand what i teach them, even after i repeat for two or three times and by the fourth times, na kena marah la tu budak2 tu..bukan apa, from what i observed they don't have initiative to read notes and find the meaning in the dictionary. Mau juga saya suap satu2 maksud tu perkataan..ni lain cerita pula pasal saya cepat marah ni..i remember last week i scolded my neighbour who lives at 2nd floor. Siapa suruh dia menyapu and then terus buang di bawah, koridor kami yang baru saya sapu kotor balik. Nasib Yong2 nda kena oleh tu sampah and habuk2 yang dibuang tu.

2. Become very lazy to prepare meal..especially when dealing with chicken and fish..i can't stand the smell. I don't eat them too. Except for Kentucky Fried Chicken and the steam fish at a restaurant located at 1st floor Centre Point Shopping Complex.

3. Don't like it when my son minta manja2. Kesian si Yong2. Is it a sign that this time i am expecting a baby girl? Really hope so. But if baby boy again, i don't mind also. Ada juga kawan si Yong2 bergusti....errmm..Another one thing, i also don't like when hubby sleep too close to me. That's why our queen bed size now is added with a single bed. Terus jadi Extra King Size..wuahaha! I like. Besar space saya mau tidur. Ngenge!

4. Become very lazy to do housechores especially doing laundry, sweeping and folding clothes. I just don't know why. Hope my baby will not be a lazy person la kan..dulu pantang nampak benda2 dalam rumah tidak tersusun, mesti mula mengemas dan siap naik kerusi lagi lap-lap cermin.

Setakat ni, itulah major differences yang saya dapat kenal pasti berbanding first pregnancy dulu..and have to admit it that this time i am not as excited as the first one...just don't have idea why.....:(

Yong2 at Taska Day 2

2011-03-10T09:38:00.002+08:00

I am very happy today..Yong2 nda lagi menangis time saya hantar dia di taska tadi pagi..Yeayy! So, boleh la sy kerja dengan gumbira ini hari.

Di rumah, masa saya kasi mandi dan kasi pakai dia baju untuk ke taska, merengek-rengek sudah dia.

'mama, jangan la pigi ofis. Yong2 tak nak pigi tempat teacher'..dia cakap. Cikgu2 di taska dibahasakan sebagai 'teacher'.

Dari rumah sampai la di kereta, dia ulang ayat yang sama. Tapi lepas tu, bila sampai depan taska lain lagi dia cakap :

'mama, hantar Yong2 tempat teacher'.

haha..mungkin sebab banyak sudah budak2 lain yang dia nampak di taska.

Macam nda sempat sudah say goodbye dengan saya. Terus dia lari pigi dalam join budak2 lain...hmm..its good for him.

Only took a day to get use with his new environment. So, as a mom, feel no worries of his social skills in the future la kan..:)

First Day Yong2 Di Taska

2011-03-09T07:55:00.002+08:00

Awal sungguh saya update blog hari ini kan? hehe! ermm..sebenarnya fikiran saya tidak tenang sebab hari ni adalah hari pertama Yong2 saya hantar di Taska.

Waktu saya tinggalkan dia tadi, meraung-raung dia nda mau..walau pun di taska tu ada sudah tu 'girlfriend' dia yang namanya si Fara@Faya, anak kawan saya satu ofis. Haha..girlfriend kunu..sebab lepas jumpa satu kali time Hospitality Family Day di Tg Aru Beach sabtu lalu, Yong2 asyik sebut nama dia saja..

Sedih juga kasi tinggal dia tadi..Macam mana sekali pun saya kena tinggalkan juga. Dari parking kereta, saya masih lagi dengar dia meraung-raung panggil mama..huhu..kesian ooo..nda tau macam mana sudah dia sekarang. sudah berhenti menangis ka belum? kalau sy pigi tingu mesti dia menangis lagi bila sy mau kasi tinggal dia...cepat la hari berlalu..tdk sabar mau tau mcm mana kejadian dia hari ni di taska.

oh ya, hari ni juga kami dengan rasminya tinggal di kuarters politeknik. itu yang Yong kena masuk taska hari ni juga. Betul2 tidak tahan sudah berulang-alik dari Sepanggar-Putatan. Tidak tahan kos minyak dan tenaga juga. Apa lagi dalam keadaan saya sekarang. Morning sickness yang mempengaruhi kecergasan badan saya. Harap2 la ini cepat habis.

Bercakap pasal pregnancy sy kali ni, banyak yang saya mau kongsi tapi sya tidak larat mau update blog..

So, bila ada kekuatan nanti baru la saya cuba-cuba menulis lagi..:)

I hate that Smell from the Cafeteria!

2011-02-16T13:00:00.003+08:00

Late period, nausea, lost my appetite, hate smell from kitchen...rasa2nya tanda2 apa itu a?..hmm..though its not confirm yet but i'm sure i'm having morning sickness!

Yepp, that's mean i am pregnant. Yong2's lil sister or lil brother is on the way! :)

I would say , this time is totally different. Dulu, tiada macam ni..rileks saja. Almost 2 weeks already i have those mentioned problems. Hate it. During class just now, i really can't stand the smell coming from the cafeteria near to my class. I never had this last time. Tapi, apa boleh buat kan. Terpaksa la menanggung derita utk beberapa bulan demi adik Yong2..hehe!

Hubby and me planning to do check up this Friday. And only after that everything will be confirmed.:)

Home Sweet Home

2011-01-13T08:59:00.003+08:00

Greetings and happy new year 2011!
Hope its not too late wishing the whole world a happy new year. :)

Relieved.
That is the only word that could explain what i feel right now.

For what reason i should feel that way?

After 1 year and 10 months separated from my family, now we are reunited again.

The pain, the suffer, the stress and all the trouble in my life; gone, now.

There is nothing else could make my life happy other than seeing all person i loved, everyday.

It makes other matters in my working life getting easier to cope with, too.

By the way, for all that i have been through, through the years that were, I THANK YOU GOD.

...for all the blessess YOU bestow to me.

No Title

2010-11-30T16:18:00.002+08:00

Ahahahaa..i'm in the mood of laughing.

An officemate who was packing her things suddenly found a long forgotten picture. A picture of her and her fellows when he just joined Polytechnic Johor Bahru aka PJB about 10-11 years ago! In that picture she was 'S' size but now has become 'L'..Everyone starting to comparing their sizes based on the picture, begin to tease each other, made the very warm afternoon in office full with laughter.

..you were so cute in this picture',you looked chubbier', 'oh no la, its my tudung made me look chubby', eh, why you look nerdy here?', 'macam lidi o kau dulu2'

..hahhaa..some comments to each others. Belum lagi diorang nampak gambar saya time form 5 dulu..macam ada katak gemuk ja di pipi kiri kanan. gemukss betul.

for 2-3 minutes the forgotten picture made my office alive. haha here and there.

I guess its a good therapy before we start busy weeks ahead. Yes. busy weeks. Old students are coming back to continue their study tomorrow. The December Session is starting this week.

Personally:
I am ready to face my new students. I am ready to learn more. I am ready to give more. I am ready for whatever the result of transfer will be..which is promised next week. Earlier promised is actually on 1st December, result will be out..huh, tidak apa la.

Maybe God wants to torture me more with this temporary separation with my loved ones. Thanks God. For whatever reason YOU doing this to me. I still thank YOU.

Ah, malas la mau ingat pasal perpindahan tu..lebih baik sy ketawa saja dulu..ahahaha!

Stage Fright

2010-11-24T16:35:00.003+08:00

I just finished my EEP course for today.

The morning slot was a bit interesting. Learn about communicative grammar. Opps, not learn. It is to more recap in exact. I admitted that i'm not good in grammar and still lacking of proper vocabularies to write proper sentences. The slot was intended to freshen the participant's memories in using proper grammar in teaching..the part that i am weak..:( Still practicing though..huhu

While in the afternoon it was the public speaking slot. Yes, public speaking! Not many seems to like it. me neither. Haha..

anyone feel like doing this?

With the topic of 'self introduction', participants were given 3 minutes talk of the very easy topic given. Guided some more with points prepared by the speaker.

i tell you is not as easy as writing the draft of your speech when come to the presentation before other fellows. Cikgu pun pandai nervous ni kalau kena suruh bercakap di depan orang yang bukan students..haha..ironi kan. Padahal, setiap hari buat public speaking depan kelas.

Most participants did well in term of self-confidence but grammatically, not all did well including me..hehe. But like the speakers concluded after the slot, the first aim of the activity is to gain self confidence. Grammar, tidak apa..so i guess all did well la sebab semua dapat cakap di depan..

For me, i did mistake also in the beginning of my speech..i said 'right now i feel stomach in my butterflies'...hahhahaa, that's a sign of truly attacked by stage fright! I supposed to say 'i feel butterflies in my stomach'! hahahahha....100x!

Tommorrow, will be doing micro-teaching fully in English but in a smaller group. Another stage fright coming?..huhu..we will see. ;)

Till then.

EEP

2010-11-23T14:03:00.003+08:00

EEP.
errk..Whats that stand for?

EEP=English Enhancement Program.
A 4 days course for every lecturer in order for us to maximize the use of English in teaching and learning process. I'm in the course, starting today till friday.

Oops, do not get me wrong. Now is our lunch time and will be back to the course at 2.30pm. Its clear that i'm not 'curi-curi' updating my blog during the course. Its not me. Course is course. I focus on it to make sure i gain all the knowledge from the speaker. I know some people like to surfing net, facebooking, listening to music or whatever which is not related to the course, just because they say 'kursus is boring'. It depends on how you set your mind, right?

The first session this morning, not so interesting and not so attractive. The way it carried out was like the learning and teaching process in class. Reading text and understanding the text. A bit boring. Only one slot was considered interesting. But lets see how is the progress, this afternoon.

Meanwhile, this is our picture during a short trip at Tg Balau Beach..Yong2 really had a great time playing sands and not afraid of the waves anymore like his first trip beach last May..Hampir dia nda mau balik oo.

Till then.

Gifts With Lots of Love

2010-11-21T00:44:00.002+08:00

Chakk! Hahaha.
Its almost impossible for me to start a word for this entry.
huhuhu..tiba2 macam rasa janggal ni nda tau mau tulis apa..

Feel ashamed for being away so long from my blog actually. Proven enough that i'm not that passionate enough in the blogging world, kan?. My last entry was in October if i'm not mistaken. Lepas tu terus silent saja. Ada juga mau try2 update di office tapi teda privacy, office mate selalu limpas2 di belakang..Kalau di rumah pula, teda peluang mo guna laptop sebab YongYong asyik mau tingu Ultraman seja..pandai switch on dan pasang cd sendiri lg tu.

Well, you may guess, where i have been and what i have been doing. Hate to say that when coming to every end of semester kerja kami ialah teda lain teda bukan menyibukkan diri dengan kerja-kerja penyiapan markah kuiz, ujian dan tugasan pelajar. Malang saya lagi terlibat dengan persediaan soalan-soalan peperiksaan akhir yang kerjanya nda la susah tapi banyak yang remeh - temeh. I admit that working in goverment educational institution sangat la banyak kerja berbanding di kolej swasta dulu. Oppsyy! i'm not complaining, just sharing though. :)

But yeah finally i found my strength to start blogging again.

In fact, there are many stories that i wanted to share since my last post in October..tapi nda jadi2..tersimpan seja. Tapi dalam banyak2 tu, rasanya saya mau share2 yang ini dulu la..cerita tentang hadiah.:)

One great thing being a dedicated educator is when students appreciate what you have done to them. Especially those who are in their final semester..Best ba mengajar semester akhir ni. Diorang suka bagi hadiah sama lecturer yang mengajar diorang.
and lucky me, i was one of them..hehe..

Tadaaa...the gifts from my beloved students..with lots of love!

Handed to me on their last day at Politeknik Johor Bahru. Siap peluk2 lagi sambil nangis2..thanking me non-stop for being a great lecturer.
huhu..terharu juga la sia.
Never thought that they would appreciate me that much. And i liked it. Motivate me to be more creative in teaching, to be more patient facing problematic students, and the most important is to be more matured in my career. Every semester is an experience and experiment too.

Thats all for this time.
Till then.

unexpected

2010-10-25T12:30:00.002+08:00

:) :) :)...

a very sad news early morning today.

Kawan yang nak bertukar dari Politeknik Kota Kinabalu call tadi dan memberitahu saya

'SAYA TAK JADI NAK PINDAH'

i am like..aaa?! trus sebak. gementar. semua ada.

Adakah harapan tinggal harapan? Aduhh..

Peluang untuk berjaya dalam permohonan semakin tipis..

Kenapa la si kawan ni tetiba ja berubah fikiran. Sebab yang dia bagi pun tidak berapa kukuh.. Salah satunya dia dah berkenan dengan orang Sabah. Dia tak bagitau la, tapi ada kawan yang bagitau..huhuuu.

A Drama Scene at a friend's Hari Raya Open House

2010-10-02T10:40:00.002+08:00

Blessed with a healthy, active, talkative and super friendly 2 years and six month son is indeed a great gift from God...very very great-full for that though.

You'll expect some embarrasing yet entertaining action from your kid when you are at your friend's house, at a shopping mall or even at a wet market(if you tag them along).
and....my son did not fail to embarrassed me last night at a friend's house..huhu..

Last night, i went to a friend's Hari Raya open house. As i expected, there were many children there too. But many of them were girls. Some are my colleagues' kids and the rest maybe from the neighborhood.

As usual he did not have any problem befriending them..sekejap saja sudah berlari-lari kejar-kejar dengan tu budak2..so, i let him play round with the kids. but still keeping my eyes over him, takut tiba2 dia buat aksi pula..saya pun dengan senang hati join makan-makan dengan kawan2 lain.

Many of my colleagues were informed earlier that my son is a fanatic fan of the Ultraman series. Not very sure how its all started, suddenly my Yong2 suddenly doing a drama scene in front of all guests in the house..

'hiyyaaaa! Haiyaaa! Fire! Fire! Ultraman Cosmos! Raksaksa!'hiyaa! (with some funny and fierce face expression some more)

Guess what he did? He acted just like the Ultraman Cosmos fighting the dinasour in the Ultraman series!
He made the house filled with laughter for 2-3 minutes, entertained by his drama..oh my..That's really show how friendly my son is..memang nda malu-malu depan orang o!

huhuhuhuuuuuu..how should i suppose to react? Saya rasa saya pun terkejut nda sangka Yong2 tiba-tiba beraksi macam tu. I also joined the rest laughing..Hahahha!

I then, stopped him. Friends keep talking 'wow, no wonder you miss him a lot when he is not with you'. Yepps, that true.

Then, i brought him to the playground located just in front of my friend's house. Just don't want him to create another scene there. Many kids were there too. Met with a mummy of two beautiful daughters who is my friend's sister in law.

She said, 'Anak awak besar dari umur, lancar sudah bercakap walaupun baru dua tahun, tidak takut orang macam sesetengah budak.'..Yepps, again. its a credit to me. Feel so, so and so blessed.

Untill now i still can not forget what my son did last night..

Malaysia Day, My Best Of Day

2010-09-16T00:27:00.002+08:00

16 September 2010,
12.28am.

Wishing all Malaysian :

Happy Malaysia Day.

and not forgetting:

Happy Birthday To Me.

Reaching 31 years old, but still feel like 13! (*_^)!

And glad that finally after 47 years, Malaysia Day is celebrated by all Malaysian. It should be this way ever since Malaysia is formed in year 1963. But, better late than never, right?

Thank you so much for the wishes: friends & relatives.

Is this place still safe for us to live in?

2010-09-15T09:43:00.004+08:00

That's the question that strike me after reading the newspaper today.

My answer is: I am doubt now.

Criminals act are everywhere and is worsening. There is like no more safe place on Earth.
The recent case involving the tragic murder of Datuk Sosilawati and another 4 person, terrifying me.

Not mentioning the baby dumping, accidents( number arising), father kill his son, son kills his father, teenager rapes a granny/father, brother rapes daughter/ sister, suicide, and the list goes on..

Among all reasons why all these happens only this relate very much:

THEY JUST HAVE NO FAITH.

There is no religion that commands its followers to kill. Specifically, to kill human.
I believe in that.

If they have a little light of faith, they will not murder, they will not dump baby, they will not rape their daughter/sister, and they will not do this and that..again the list goes on.

Come on people, lets have little faith, to guide us in life.

My Career Path - Part 2

2010-09-10T18:16:00.004+08:00

Hai! Hehhe..siou, sia rajin ba konon update blog sekarang. Nanti semester buka, mesti jarang sudah menulis.

Baiklah. Bagi kawan2 blogger yang mengikuti blog saya dari awal 'dilahirkan' mesti pernah baca tentang entry bertajuk My Career Path bertarikh November 28, 2008. Saya juga ada memberitahu yang akan ada siri ke-2. Jeng Jeng Jeng! Inilah sambungannya.

Job Number 3: Waitress - Part Timer

Ingat ka dulu, selepas dapat result STPM saya dan kawan saya tu resign notis 24 jam dari tu kedai Lo & Brothers. Selepas tu, saya tidak kerja lagi sehinggalah mendapat panggilan untuk mendaftar masuk ke Universiti Malaysia Sabah sebagai mahasiswi Ijazah Pengurusan Perniagaan mengkhusus dalam Hotel Management bermula dari June 1999-2002.

Di sanalah saya berjumpa dengan Kay Abdullah aka Cath, NancyPeter @ Nc, Sal dan Michelle Tan (yang ada blog). Kami menjadi rakan sekursus selama 3 tahun. Dan amazingly, menjadi rakan serumah pula dua semester kalau tak silap dan pada final year kami di UMS. Banyak betul kenangan manis kami ni tau, termasuklah yang paling diingati bergambar dengan HANDPHONE antik kami di depan Sekolah Perniagaan Ekonomi, UMS.

Photo source: NancyPeter @ Nc. (edited)
We were Ex-schoolmates & Ex-housemates.
Can you spot the bloggers? (Sal, Cath, me and Nc?)

Kami jugalah yang bersama-sama menjadi part-timer di Shangri La Resort, Tg Aru. Kerja ni lecturer kami yang tolong cari. First time jadi waitress. Saya tidak berapa suka sebab kena teriak oleh senior, piring yang mo diangkat berat2, itu pintu pigi pantry pun bikin panas juga.

Pengalaman yang tidak dapat saya lupa time serving, saya tidak sengaja tersiku rambut seorang auntie yang disanggul tinggi. Kena jeling saya oo..tapi saya dengan selamba meminta maaf. Mana la tidak tersiku, susunan kerusi untuk meja 10 orang sempit2. Lagi pun first time kan, jadi belum champion menyisip2 bila mau serve makanan. Sorry la auntie, nda sengaja. Hehehe..
Gaji time tu rm2 ka rm2.50 sejam. Bagi saya memang tidak berbaloi. Kerja bukan main penat, gaji seciput ja. Tapi apa yang paling penting ialah pengalaman memandangkan ada kaitan dengan kursus yang kami ambil di UMS.

Seterusnya, tempat yang saya pernah kerja jadi waitress ialah di Nexus Resort Karambunai, tempat saya praktikal dan terus kerja selama setengah tahun ja (jun-dec 2002). Direct kerja selepas tamat ijazah. Tak tahan saya oo, penat betul la kerja di hotel.

Saya jadi slim terus dan dapat gastrik juga. Tapi yang bestnya dan saya sangat suka ialah saya dapat praktis berbahasa Inggeris, tahap keyakinan semakin tinggi dan tidak lagi malu-malu.

Saya enjoy sangat kerja di sana tapi tidak dapat mengatasi penat yang saya rasa. Ini menyebabkan saya berhenti pada hujung tahun tu juga. Abang saya kahwin dan saya tidak dapat cuti. Krismas pun tidak dapat cuti. Jadi yang terbaik ialah RESIGN. Lagipun waktu tu saya teringin sangat berehat selepas tamat 3 tahun di UMS.

Mau tau apa lagi yang paling best saya dapat di sana selama 6 bulan?(malu-malu kucing sudah ni mo bagitau)

..tadaaa...Papa Yong2!! siap ada gambar lagi. Ngeheheheee(secret revealed!)..di Nexus la saya menemui hubbyku yang tercinta ini. Nda sia-sia kan saya kerja 6 bulan di sana. Hahaha!

Oh ya, ada satu lagi tempat saya kerja jadi waitress. Restoran Cina di jalan Bundusan. Warna hijau dia punya bahagian luar. Beraircond dan exclusive juga la. Selalu ada tourist dari Taiwan yang lunch di situ. Saya selalu kena layan tourist yang tidak pandai BM sebab yang waiter dan waitress lain tidak berani. Restoran tu boleh nampak dari jalan raya. Hishh..lupa betul namanya. Kerja di sana dalam 3 bulan ja. Every month dapat rm750. Byk overtime. Tak penat macam di hotel sebab buka lunch time 11am-2pm dan buka balik 7pm-10pm. Dari situ saya resign sebab dapat kerja lain.

Dan ceritanya akan disambung ke entry yang seterusnya pula.
So, stay tuned ya!

To all friends, relatives, PJB & ACIC students / former students...

2010-09-10T15:07:00.004+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya 2010. Maaf Zahir Batin.

I can't wait to go makan-makan at my officemates house and makan2 at office too. Sure plenty of food in our pantry soon! But have to wait for them coming back to work. Most of them taking two weeks leave during this Hari Raya holiday.

Hmm..first day of Hari Raya. The neighborhood is so quite and peaceful. Most neighbours balik kampung since yesterday evening. Me, my sister and Yong2 stay at home.

Just now, a group of children excitedly saying 'assalamualaikum, nak raya!' outside our gate. Hehhe..they came to the wrong house lerr..funny!

I replied 'sorry, kami tak sambut raya'.
The children hurriedly walked away and inside the house i still heard them saying
'ala, engkau ni, malu la. salah rumah la.'

Hahaa..poor them. I have a packet of sampul hari raya given by the cashier at the supermarket yesterday.tapi,tak kan la sia mau bg sampul kosong kan. Tunggu la bila Krismas. Hehehe..

Right away the children went away to another house guess who (what) came next? A pregnant Siamese meow meow came, sitting in front of the door that i let opened. The meow looking at me like asking for something. Kesian..I guess the meow is hungry. So, i tried feeding the meow with crackers.

Yong2 is feeding the meow. Memang meow ni lapar oo. Cepat ja dia makan.

Ini cracker kedua ni meow makan.

Ini yang ketiga. Tried give it chipsmore pula. hehe! It loves it too.

Mesti tuan si meow ni balik kampung. Nasib pandai ni meow cari makan di rumah orang.
Lepas habis tu chipsmore baru la si meow nampak macam sudah kenyang. Masuk rumah sekejap, jalan2 di ruang tamu. Lepas tu baru dia keluar dan tidak tau pigi mana.

Agak2 lepas ni siapa dan binatang apa lagi yang mo minta makan a?
hehe..

Do not be a square, Be a circle.

2010-09-09T09:04:00.004+08:00

Early morning today while waiting for my office mate to fetch me to work, a thought came across my mind:

'DO NOT BE A SQUARE.

Kesian ini tembikai square kalau kena tendang kan..sakit perut nanti kalau makan.:)

BE A CIRCLE.'

Nah..dia suruh lagi tendang...

wE All kNoW, tHeRe aRe Vast MeSSaGes wE CouLD GeT aNd InTERpratE FrOm tHe QuOTE aBoVEd.

BUt, todaY i lOveD to tHink it LikeWise.

IF i wErE given A ChOiCE whICH ShAPe I WouLD Be. NeIthEr OnE.

LOOk;
if i ChOOSe To bE A SqUAre, tHe GooD ThinG IS I Am StAbLe In PoSitION. NO Need To Be ScARed Of FaLLing Or ROllInG FrOm WhEre You Are PlaCed. PeopLe AlsO Not InTerEsteD to KiCk You SinCe aFrAid Of GettING PAin KIckEd Your VerTiCes. YoU SaFe! ..:)

In many people thought, a person choosing square is not good because they say square means you are not open minded, limited to the space where you are, and..bla bla..

How ABout Being a ciRCle? Its not my choice NEitHer. Why? PeOpLE maY EasIly fool YoU ArOunD; EasiLy MocKEd; KiCk YouR AsS.

In many people thought again, a circle means you are very open minded, can go everywhere you want because even wind when blowing will help you to move, without others helped.

Could not agree with me? Don't argue. Nda da maknanya..hehee!
This is a very bold idea, without help from any famous Philosopher , with my empty stomach early morning.

Paling penting..idea ini adalah SAJA-SAJA di buat. Tiada kena mengena dengan yang hidup atau yang nda hidup..hehheeh!.

Don't take it seriously!!

Till then

Yang ini mama punya, yang itu ipah punya..

2010-09-08T08:58:00.003+08:00

My sister sampai dari Sabah pagi semalam. Selepas hantar dia ke rumah, sia terus balik ke ofis.

Kalau la saya ada keta sendiri di sini, mau juga lepak2 di rumah, petang baru balik ofis punch kad. Teda juga student mau ajar kan. Tapi oleh kerana tiada, terpaksa la duduk ofis ja sepanjang hari.

Selepas balik dari ofis, adik sia cerita si Yong2 bawa dia 'tour' dalam rumah.

Mula2 dia buka peti sejuk dan tunjuk mana satu makanan dia, makanan mama dan makanan ipah, housemate sia.

Lepas tu, dia bawa pula adik sia naik ke tingkat atas. Tunjuk mana satu bilik kami (bilik Yong2 dia bilang) dan mana satu bilik ipah. Sama la dengan bilik mandi
'ini ipah punya,' dia ckp..

Ada lagi. Dia cakap dengan adik sia, 'ini semua baju mama, k'. Sambil pegang baju-baju sia.
Tidak habis begitu ja, dia teruskan 'tour' dalam rumah kepada benda2 lain pula..

Pandai betul YongYong sia ni kan.

O ya, petang semalam juga one of my bestie & ofismate juga datang ke rumah. Kawan sia ni selalu kasi manja Yong2 dengan ole2 seperti aiskrim kalau dia datang. Semalam dia datang dengan tangan kosong. Dan selalunya dia akan bagi duit sebagai ganti. Berikut perbualan dia dengan Yong2:

My friend: 'Yong2, Mak Yang takde bawa apa2 tau. Yong2 batuk, mama cakap tak boleh makan aiskrim. Mak Yang bagi duit, nak?'

Yong2: 'Tak nak'.

Saya teringat sebelum ni saya cakap dengan Yong2, kalau Mak Yang bagi duit, Yong2 cakap 'tak nak, okay'. And he did.

Hubby pun nda suka kalau Yong2 terbiasa dengan duit. Tapi sejak saya bagi dia RM1 hari tu, pandai sudah dia minta2 duit..huhu..tapi bagus juga sbb nanti dia masukkan dalam tabung duit dia.

Kembali kepada my friend tadi, bila dia balik2 kena tanya mau ka tidak duit tu, trus dia cakap 'nak'..huhu..budak2. Mana la mau menolak kalau sudah kena bagi, kan?

Saya ingat time saya kecil2 dulu. Mana la ada kena offer banyak kali mau ka tidak kena bagi duit. Kalau ada, seronok la. Kalau tiada, nda apa. Lain betul dengan zaman sekarang.
Jauh sangat bezanya.

Apa pun, saya harap nanti Yong2 besar, dia akan menghargai apa yang mama dan papa dia buat untuk dia. God's willing. :)

For kids, happiness is that count

2010-09-07T13:00:00.004+08:00

Every afternoon on weekend Yong2 will ask me ' Ma, nak main d luar' (translated: May i play outside mummy?)

I know he is boring at home alone. So, sometimes i'll let the children from the neighborhood to come in the house to play with him. He is very playful one. Non-stop. Just look at him.

When the children get in, he started to preach about his Ultraman stories.

He holds the book as if he can read already while at the sametime watching the kids playing with his toys. They were lucky because sometimes he will not allow others to play or even touch his toys. My effort to instill a good value in friendship such as SHARING now, worked.

Yong2 is chasing some of them with his water gun. Watching them playing happily, suddenly a thought came across my mind; I was so lucky to giving birth a very healthy and active child, loved by everyone around him.

He keep chasing and chasing until one of them purposely stop and let Yong2 caught her.

He than shouted 'Tembak kau!' . The funny thing is he know exactly where to shoot; right on her ass!! Hahaha..

Happy kids. No worries. They have no ideas what the adults are thinking. Because for them only happiness is that count.

Dinner for Two

2010-09-05T15:16:00.004+08:00

My housemate is already went back to Sabah for her Raya celebration. She will be in Sabah till 14th September. Almost two weeks off from work.

So, guess what? Only me and my Yong2 in this house until 7th September. My 16 years old sister will come over to take care Yong2 till 14th. Well, Yong2's baby sitter also need break right?. She is going back to Kelantan on 8th and coming back on 14th also.

This coming Raya celebration, i do not take any leave. First, the raya ticket is so expensive. Second, my annual leave balance is just enough for 2 weeks leave at the end of year. So, save it for Christmas.

Okay enough mumbling for nothing. Lets check out what exactly is my post title about.

Last night, i cooked simple dishes for me and Yong2. Nothing so special about the dishes because you also know how to cook it. Veeeerrryyy ordinary..hehehe!

Show you the drink first. Mixed of Fresh Mango juice (preffered the PEEL OFF from MARIGOLD) and Fresh Milk..taste yummy especially when its cold. Rich with Vitamin A,C and E. Try it. :)

Hehehe..he is so co-operating. He sip the drink for the camera actually.

Not forgetting Yong2's favorite dishes: finger chicken nuggets. He usually loves eating sausage (he pronounces it 'totej) very much but i change it sometimes to other ready made chicken product for variety.

Fried fish. Ikan Kerisi. Correct me if i'm wrong ya. I kind of weak remembering fish name. If you look closely, you will see 'sisik ikan' still on the fried fish. Purposely leave it there coz i like eating it. Rangup ba bila makan..tapi kena goreng garing la. Actually i want to cook Ikan Masak Sambal but i feel lazy already after i fried the fish.

Chicken and mix vegetable soup..I usually use chicken wings to make chicken soup. Do you know why? this part has less and very thin flesh..more bones, which i like so much. I'm sure my close friends like Cath and Nc knows what my choice is if we have meal at KFC restaurant. 'ribs or drumstick please'. If my hubby is dining together with us, i'll dump all flesh to him and take the bones only.hehehe, poor hubby!

The last but not least; mixed vegie (bitter gourd and capsicum, peas, corn/maize, carrot) with chicken frankfurters with onion and cheese. Different version of mix vegie, right? well, that's all i found in the fridge.

All the dishes is not complete without this. small of cut of red chillies, lime juice and chopped onion..Yong2 will say ' pedas kan Ma'. Yes, it is. But i makes me to go for second round of steam rice. Hehe..
Thats all for our dinner last night.

Think: how good if my hubby was here.(:

Oops..wait, let me guess what you think. 'Did i finished all the dishes alone?'
You are right for whatever you think in your mind.:)

Till then.

My recent trip back to Sabah

2010-09-02T09:10:00.017+08:00

Last week i did mentioned that i made a last minute decision flew back to Sabah. I never regretted it.

It was a very please moment and i treasured every moment of it.

Here are some pictures to share with you:

My uncle in traditional head gear called 'sigal', ready to perform the Sumundai mongigol dance-traditional dance of Rungus ethnic in Kudat.

The 'Sigal' is unique. To produce one, it takes a week or two without interruption. Focus i mean. Or else it takes months to finish one. And it is purely hand-woven from 'kapok' or cotton.

In Sabah, 'Sigal' is one of the traditional head gear that worn by most ethnic and to see the difference 'sigal' of different ethnic, month of May is the best time. Its the month festivity - Harvest Festival, held once, every year, in every district of Sabah.

The Sumundai Mongigol Dance - usually performed by a man and followed by few women, accompanied by the traditional music instruments - Gong.
Particularly, Sumundai refers to the movement of the women following the gongs beats, while Mongigol is the dance of the man that dancing the different steps from the women except for the arms that widely open and moved gracefully.
As a Rungusian, its a shame if you don't know how do the dance. I'm lucky because my mom is an EXPERT and her daughter must be the same, too. (*-^)!

Some of them (the dancers) are my relatives wearing traditional costume in conjunction with my family event.
They wear it to honour my late grandfather. Its part of the tradition to perform this dance whenever a family conduct a prayer event of their late family. A tradition that must be kept alive to always remind us our root.

Closer look - i approached one of the dancers and ask permission to take her pict.

She is wearing an almost complete Rungus traditional costume.

The complete costume is usually decorated with thousand dollars of antique beads, worn on the hips and shoulder. oh ya, not forgetting the ornaments worn on their wrist and leg.

The complete costume.

Hope that this post give you-my readers a bit info of the Rungus ethnic in Sabah.

Will share some more pictures of activities i did during the balik kampung trip recently. Till then!

Lima Ratus

2010-08-26T08:35:00.003+08:00

Entri sia hr ni dalam bahasa Sabah. Bersemangat sia sebab esok malam sia mau naik kapal terbang besi pigi Sabah. (*-^). Si Yong2 pun bersemangat juga. Tidur pun bulih sebut 'naik kapal terbang'..haha!

Keputusan balik kampung yang dibuat last minit sebab nda dapat balik raya. tiket mahal. Balik time hari kebangsaan pun boleh la. Lagi pun ada kenduri kasi bersih kubur datuk sia sambil kasi simen, bagi cantik biar datuk sia happy rumah dia cantik.

Itu tiada kena mengena dengan tajuk entri sia. LIMA RATUS. hehhe.

Kalau yang kerja kerajaan tau sangat la ini. Yang ditunggu-tunggu setiap tahun. Semenjak sia kerja kerajaan ni sudah dua tahun dapat 5 ratus. Tahun lalu, dapat untuk menggantikan bonus. Kali ini pula angpau raya la ini katakan.

Sebenarnya ada lagi yang sia tunggu2 ba ini sejak kerja kerajaan. Bonus yang macam dulu2 uncle2, anti2, kawan2 yg lama sdh kerja kerajaan. Dapat bonus sebulan gaji. Wah, siok o kalau macam itu.

Tapi dapat angpau 5 ratus pun syukur sangat la sebab kawan2 yg bukan kerajaan mana ada macam ini kan.

Jadi dengan LIMA RATUS angpau ini, sia rasa negara masih lagi dalam kondisi ekonomi yang belum memberangsangkan. Sebab itu la bonus kepada penjawat awam belum dapat di bagi macam dulu. Mari la kita doakan supaya ekonomi negara kita akan pulih sepenuhnya pada masa depan supaya rakyat lebih makmur.

Sebenarnya, lima minit tadi jari jemari sia rancak menaip Terms Of Reference bagi kursus yang saya selia. Tapi trus tersesat pigi menulis entri untuk blog. Hehhehe...Jangan tiru, nanti kena marah bos korang pula.

Yours truly with hubby and son
Malacca River Bank,
Malacca, July 2010.

Its how i am doing today :)

2010-08-24T09:35:00.002+08:00

Many people believe in a theory that pictures sometimes can be the best instrument to express certain things. I also do.

Yours truly, as for today. Picture taken early morning today before going to office. I wear red blouse = happy. I feel that what i wear pictures my mood of the day. I always choose office attire based on my mood. That means, i must iron all my office attire at one time so that i can pick them and put it on anytime. Rabbit smile; that's me! ^-*.

Hmm..feel like sharing some good progress of my beloved son.

Pictures of my son trying his best to button his shirt after i encouraged him few times to do it by himself. I learned so many things since he came into our lives. I noticed that my son is not a kid that give up before trying every time i ask him to do something by himself which is in the future i'm sure will help him in many ways. God's willing. For the first time he didn't make it, turned to me and said; 'Ma, x pandai la'.

Few days after i the pictures above, an evening after i bathed him, i purposely unbutton his shirt and this was what i saw. He was trying patiently to button his shirt till didn't aware of me taking his picture. This time he also didn't make it but at least he tried his best. Will need to remind and encourage him again and again till he does. But so far that is his progress.

Proud of you my Yong2!

Nancy's Kitchen

2010-08-18T15:41:00.002+08:00

Last two weeks hubby visited me and Yong2 in Johor. He took 3 days leave from work. That was the third times he came here for us.

And This time i decided to bring him jalan-jalan to Malacca-the historical state. The nearest state to Johor.

Unfortunately, pictures are not available coz :

1. i forgot to check my camera's battery before leaving. So, when i wanted to take pictures, found out that battery was out.

2. My brother took pictures using his Sony HandyCam but when transferred to laptop all blurry. Tried to save all of it by editing it but not work. Dun know why. may the camera is wrongly set.

3. We also took pictures using Sony Erickson handphones but when i wanna transfer the pictures to my lappy, 'device can not be detected' status appeared. Duhh..teda rezeki my hubby mau tayang2 dia sudah pigi Malacca. Haha!

Buuut...i have surprise though, for Nancy. Ada juga gambar yang terselamat.

Here is for you:

Tadaaa!! Sia jumpa restoran atas nama ko Nc. hehe..tapi sia nda makan situ. Tempat len kami makan. Ni di Jonker Street ni.

And this; holding the saman from Majlis Bandaraya Melaka because we didn't display the parking card properly in the car. Its worth RM30 but paid rm5 only because i paid right after i got it. So geram, the clerk at the counter did not told us that we should display it. Haizz! Nasib dapat diskaun sebab bayar cepat2.

P/s: This post should be posted yesterday but postponed today due to very bad internet connection.

Words Of The Day

2010-07-22T16:26:00.003+08:00

Its really working hours today. And there are two statements of friends that really made my day.

Number 1:

A friend commented on my FB status yesterday:

'You are the most strongest person i ever met! Stay strong.'

I say: Yes, i am glad for it. I never thought i could be this strong. It's not from my own strength. Its from God. I am still doing hard to stay strong and that is with God's mercy. Glad that someone realize that value in me. ;)

Number 2:

I am one of the 'Pegawai Peperiksaan Jabatan'. So, a statement in our meeting just now:

'Kali ni, kita bersedialah untuk 'sibuk sedikit' sebab kita akan buat dari A-Z. Pegawai2 di unit peperiksaan akan buat 'razor' sahaja.'

I say: Ya, 'Sibuk sikit saja'. With a BIG smile in our face leaving the 'Bilik Khas'. That means, in the time ahead i (we) will work like a machine but hey will try to take a break with KITKAT!. Hehhe..

Nice day people!

Cerita Pendek : Kelibat @ Bayang2

2010-07-18T01:02:00.002+08:00

Disclaimer:
Sebelum meneruskan pembacaan kamurang, suka sia mengingatkan cerita ini ada unsur2 seram dan lucu (bagi sia la, kalau pembaca nda rasa begitu, bukan tanggungjawab sia ok)..(*_^).

Sebentar tadi dalam lebih kurang jam 9.45 malam, sia sedang menidurkan ultraman kecil sia dalam bilik. Pintu bilik sengaja tidak sia tutup rapat. Bukan apa sebab bagi peluang tu lampu di luar bilik masuk siiiikit bilik pada masa si ultraman kicil mau tidur. Kalau lampu di bilik kena pasang, alamat nda tidur la si ultraman itu.

Mau dijadikan cerita, housemate sia pula teda. Dia pigi balik sana rumah kakak dia di Skudai. Jadi hanya sia dan si ultraman kecil saja di rumah..Nda juga sa takut ba sebab memang selalu dia balik sana dan memang selalu sia sama ultraman ja di rumah. Buat masa ni, ultraman sia belum pandai guna kuasa dia untuk bertukar jadi Ultraman Cosmos. Jadi sia nda buli minta tulung la kalau ada apa2. Eh, banyak pula bunga2 bahasa ini. hehehe..

Balik kepada jam lebih kurang jam 9.45 tadi. Ketika berbaring-baring sambil nyanyi lagu 'ibu, engkaulah ratu hatiku' atas permintaan ultraman, rasa-rasanya macam ada bayang2 sesuatu yang saya nampak bergerak dengan pantas di luar pintu bilik. Terus sa berhenti menyanyi dan mata sia pula nda mau lari tau dari melihat ke arah pintu tu. teda juga la bulu2 berdiri sebab sia ni kira berani juga la.hehe..

Dalam hati bertanya,

apakah itu?
Siapa yang datang nda bagi salam? Masa melawat pun sudah habis ni.
Bukan sudah sia kunci semua pintu ka itu?
Kenapa pula ada orang buli masuk kalau sudah kunci?
Adehh..apa la itu?'

Lalu sia segera bangun dan melihat apa yang mau main2 kasi takut2 sia tu.
Punya la sia terkejut apa yang sia nampak.

TIKUS GUMUK! panjang ekor lg tu.

Trus sia cakap:

Aikk..beraninya ko masuk rumah? Macam mana ko buli masuk a? Eeeeii..geramnya, gumuk lagi ko itu!

Tikus gumuk tu pun terkejut kali nampak sia. trus dia turun cepat2. Nda pandai lumpat lg tu. Mau juga ikut tu tangga satu2 turun pigi bawah. tergulik2 di tangga. Sia yang geram tadi trus terketawa. Hahha.. buduh juga ko ini sia cakap dalam hati. Kasian bogia kalau sia cakap kuat, nanti tikus gumuk tu malu. Haha!

Baru sia mau turun tangga mau bubut tu si gumuk, si ultraman pula bangun mau ikut juga pigi bawah. Sa nampak sudah tu tikus gumuk sembunyi sana belakang tv yang ada wayar2. aduihh.. macam mana mau halau si gumuk ni aa. Sia rasa geli pula.

Trus sa nampak itu penyapu. Apa lagi, sia pigi ambil penyapu tu dan pigi cucuk2 sana wayar2 belakang tv. Trus si gumuk lumpat keluar lari pigi bawah almari kasut.

Si ultraman terkejut trus dia nangis.takkuutt..dia bilang.
Hisshh, apa pula ni ultraman ni penakut. Ingat mo suruh fire tadi tu tikus gumuk. Tapi sia pun trus lumpat naik kerusi ba bila tu tikus keluar. Takut tikus tu lari pigi kaki sia pula...eeeiii..geli.

Adeeihh..geram sa oo.Sia sudah buka pintu awal2 supaya si gumuk tu keluar ikut pintu. ini tidak mau juga main sembunyi2 sama sia. Aii, nanti ko tikus gumuk!

Tiba2 Sia nampak ada ridsect dekat tu tangga. Eh, ridsect kan utk nyamuk? peduli la, dalam hati.

Na, apa lagi sia ambil ridesct tu dan sembur bawah almari kasut tu. Mula2 nda mau keluar tu si gumuk, tapi bila sa guyang2 tu almari trus sa nampak kelam kabut dia lari ikut pintu. Nah, paning sudah kali.

Si ultraman yang sedang berdiri atas kerusi trus teriak2:

Ma, cicak! cicak! sambil tunjuk tu tikus.

Hahahaha..Adakah dia cakap tikus tu cicak.

Lepas tu, sia pun cepat2 tutup tu pintu takut tu si gumuk masuk lagi.

Dulu pun ada satu kali juga tikus gumuk masuk rumah. Time tu, pintu utama dan pintu dapur dua2 terbuka. Sedang kami tingu tv, tiba2 ada tikus masuk dari pintu utama dan keluar ikut pintu dapur. hahha..pandai tu tikus cari jalan shorcut pigi sebelah. Nda sempat mau buat apa2 time tu. terkejut kan.

Sebelum naik atas lagi, sia cek dulu lubang mana yg tikus buli masuk. Tertonggeng2 sia mencari. Teda pun lubang ni rumah ni. Mungkin tadi time sa menyapu tikus tu masuk ikut pintu dapur atau tu cermin dekat sinki yang terbuka. Tikus kan pandai memanjat.

Setelah puas hati nda da lagi tikus lain dalam rumah selain tikus gumuk tadi, sia dengan ultraman pun naik la ke bilik. Si ultraman tidur balik, sia pula sedang menaip ini post. hehhe.

Maka dengan itu, berakhir la cerita pendek sia tentang perjuangan sia menghalau si tikus gumuk keluar dari rumah. hehhee..baru 2 minit tadi, si ultraman mengigau 'ma, cicak lari sudah'..dia bilang.

TAMAT.

Getting better

2010-07-15T09:00:00.003+08:00

Things are getting better by now.

My day is also getting better.:)

And not to talk much, here i post some pictures during our stay at Nexus Resort & Spa last month:

We stayed here.- 2 connected pool villas.

Mini pool- can be accessed direct from the room

Yong2 with his baju tidur in the pool. x mau tukar baju mandi.

the bed. Yong2 messing it up just in a minute.

First time Yong2 mandi laut. Peluk kaki sia kuat2 sebab takut ombak. Haha!

Many more pictures in my facebook.

(Sekarang rajin update blog di office. Teda masa ba kalau di rumah. :)

Have a nice day!

It reminds me that I am a mother

2010-07-13T14:53:00.002+08:00

These few days, i've been a bit grumpy and let my emotion conquer my action.

Yepp..action towards my little ultraman.

He actually got sick last week. I guess because his nanny and her daughter also got sick and the sick aura spell on him too. But i brought him immediately to clinic for medication and now he is doing fine except for slight flu and cough.

Well,
what he did ?
and what i did to him?

Last weekend:
he cried for nothing and that made me so irritated and lost my patience.

I first ask him

'kenapa Yong2 nangis? Bagitau la mama.'

answer: 'Tak nak.'

continue again asking:

'Cakap la Yong2. Sakit perut?' nak Vitagen? Nak Calciyum?

answer: 'Tak nak! Tak nak! (crying louder)

again asking patiently and rubbing his back at the same time:

'Jadi, Yong2 nak apa, cakap la. Mari sini mama sayang. Nak tengok Ultraman Cd?'

answer: 'Tak nak! Tak nak! Tak nak!' (and at the same time rolled down from the cushion making a distance from me, and there he go crying more louder).

Oh, Goodness. How a mum can stand a kid behave like that!?
Without knowing the reason why he's crying and saying only 'Tak nak' really challenge me.

So, there i gone crazy. Without compassion, i came closer to him and

'pap!pap!pap!

'kau ni kenapa a Yong2. Mama geram betul tengok kau menangis macam tu. Mama tanya tak nak bagitau. Berhenti menangis, kalau tidak, mama pukul lg kaki tu.'

Stupid me asking him to stop crying after gave him a very great rewards.

No action other than keep crying. I tell you i gone really crazy. I didn't persuaded him with hope that he learn something from what i did to him. He continued crying for about fifteen minutes and there was no sign of stop crying.

I pitied him. Which mum couldn't, right?

I gently said:
'Sudah la tu Yong2. berhenti nangis. Sini mama sayang.'

Then he got up, walked toward me and hug me as he never want me to let him go.

Oh, dear..how could i hurt this little kid of mine just because of the small matter?

Yesterday's evening when i back home from office around six, he did the same. I really do not have idea why he is crying. I did the same to him like before.

I feel so terrible. I am in a dilemma. this incident always remind me that i am A MOTHER. Yes. A MOTHER. I am sure there are many more to come along the way. and i guess, i am ready.

.A question in mind, why i so emotional these few days.................is it because i am STRESSED OUT?

At office yesterday, we (means us in the office) got to know that one of our colleague already got his letter of transfer to the polytechnic he requested for. Good for him but somehow, it made me regret.

Why mine is still postponed??? Arggghhh...!!

Today, hubby called me he is not doing well. His back pain come again and i'm not there!

Its really challenging me. (:

I FEEL GOOD

2010-07-07T10:30:00.002+08:00

Yeepp..i feel so good. Its because every things are in order. For Week 3 teaching and learning process this semester, everything are in accordance with my lesson plan. :) Yippie!

Even though this semester i handle all 5 courses with NO SHARING, there is a good thing about it. I am the boss, i decide all things alone, no need to wait others for any decision regarding teaching and learning process. A bit tired in fact..but hey, will not let my self do the preaching all the times in class right? Sometimes need to hear from students, let my self sit down and listen to them presenting whatever topic given.

And among the days in a week, Wednesday is the day that i'm most occupied.

Started with 2 hours class from 8.00am-10.00.

And the next battle is at 11.15am-12.15am and 1.15am-2.15am. Both are Hospitality Law class. Seems there is no lunch time for Wednesday, right?
Because here, staffs need to drive out from polytechnic to have lunch. I remember my old office ACIC, 1 hour break is more than enough since the office is inside the shopping complex and so convenience to get food at any time.

Oops..first i plan to write a few line only for this entry but ended up with 4 paragraphs. haha!

Okay, got to go now. Mau get ready kelas law pula lepas ni.

Nice day friends.

V.I.P

2010-07-03T17:01:00.003+08:00

The two VIP in my life.
Photo taken during our stay at Nexus karambunai Resort & Spa last month. I like this picture so much.:) Hubby and Yong2 look very happy.

..and me, a VIP in their heart too..
Ouww..Why i feel that i look old in this photo?

God is indeed an 'Ultraman'

2010-06-15T08:34:00.002+08:00

Still in kampung at my MIL house.

Last night before we went to sleep as usual we prayed. Hubby, Yong2 and me. Me praying loudly while Yong2 is repeating what i'm saying as usual everytime we pray. He put his hands together and pretending closing his eyes and start mumbling.

When come to last sentence of my prayer, i was saying 'God..' suddenly Yong2 say 'Ultraman' and we laughed because of that. Then, i say to him 'Yes Yong2, God is an Ultraman'. He replied 'hmmm..'.

In our everyday life, we breath, we walk, we eat and everything we do is only by the grace of our mighty God. No other than HIM alone. So, maybe in my son's thought, God is an Ultraman who can defeat and always win every battle defeating the evil just like Ultraman did.

I guess, there is no wrong if we thought in the way a kid thinking.
And for me, Yes. He is such an 'ULTRAMAN' to us.

Cuti.

2010-06-10T16:37:00.002+08:00

I'll be on-leave for 6 days. So, u may guess what will happen: quiet blog.

Well, i like my holiday this time because i'll be going back to my very humble kampung.I don't say i don't like going back to my MIL home. But there is no better place other than the place where you were born. Even tough my kampung is only supplied with electricity now (water supply is in progress) but i still love it. I have my mum, my dad, cousins, nephew and nieces, the chicken, buffalo, river, kampung food, the mud during raining, the backyard, the sunset and sunrise that has a very nice view from our veranda, the mosquito that always welcoming my hubby (hubby seja kena gigit oleh tu nyamuk, haha.) ,etc, ect....hmmm..just can't wait to reach home tomorrow.

Actually, i going back because its my 2nd younger sister (have two sisters only - the 10th & 11th) engagement this Saturday. At first i'm not be able to attend due to these two words 'keputusan ditangguhkan' but 'peduli la kamurang mau tangguh2 keputusan'. You guys don't even tolerate with me even i had explained why i need to know it ASAP. Bikin sia gerigitan seja!

Meanwhile, i dun want to fill my mind with those problems and pending things. Mau heppi heppi naik burung besi esok.

That's all for today. See ya!

I am flying.. / Award

2010-06-10T10:44:00.005+08:00

...without wings! haha!

I finally decided to take leave and fly back to Sabah with My Yong2.
Tomorrow.

In fact, i wanted to wait till the transfer result comes out. But since JPPKK postponed it till an unknown date, i decided to put my mode on 'JUST WAIT' but in fact i did call some officers (because i can't 'JUST WAIT') to ask for my result but the last officer's PA i talked to told me that 'Saya belum menerima arahan untuk memberitahu'. Well, lucky me coz i did not got scolded for asking many times!:)

At office now. Office is very quite. Only few of us left. Everyone takes leave during this mid semester break. Some went to Beijing, some to KL but still some need to go on-duty at Tg Piai Resort in conjunction with the seminar held there. Yesterday, i was being 'proposed' also to on-duty there but i can't go because i already booked flight ticket to Sabah tomorrow.

Orait now, its time to do Nc's award:

I visit my blog everyday..

2010-06-04T23:24:00.006+08:00

..but unluckily i don't write anything..hehehe!

Wuhaa,its been more than a month again i missing in action from my humbleblog.
It's not that i don't have any stories to share (in fact there are a lot) but i'm just too lazy to do typing; just would like to be frank though. :)

At this moment, my beloved Yong2 is fall in deep sleep. He was exhausted i guess, being tired playing throughout the day.
Tomorrow i'll be doing the TAG from my dear friend Nc. Meanwhile, the picture below is the latest from me and my Yong2.

I'm a happy Mama! :).

Yong2 at Zoo Johor

2010-04-10T23:43:00.005+08:00

This is the place where i and Yong2 and two more friends went today.

The 2nd zoo i been after Lok Kawi Wildlife Park in Sabah a year ago.

Nothing is extra special about this zoo except for some animals that i never see alive and they are:

I don't know what kind of animal is this. Just weird but it really shows that it does not happy being there. Poor bird!

Hey, i was so lucky to see this 'arrogant' peacock. Dia kembangkan ekor dia yang cantik bila saja kami sampai di dekat sangkar..lepas tu dia posing2 sikit..so beautiful! i mean just look at its feather! i seen one in Lok Kawi wildlife but never seen it shows its feather like this.

The camels. Its a camera trick. We are not as close as you can see in this picture. Boleh pula Unta hidup di Malaysia kan?

Do you think its a real tiger? Heee..no la, but i does look real. My son Yong2 never dare to come closer even i already showed him i touched it.

These two black orang utan are so adorable. The first one is waiting for us to dropped food for them. So, i have to sacrifice my 'jambu' for him..huhu..but i think visitors are not allowed to feed them. Well, we were just pitying them ba..the 2nd picture is the youngest in the cage, it is begging for more from another guest next to us who also dropped banana for them. Kesian but cute, mcm yg dia mau cakap 'pick me next, i want to out from here!' Yang the first lagi cute tau, lepas dia dapa tangkap makanan yg kami kasi jatuh, dia tepuk tangan and terus tengok atas lg minta makanan.

Below: My son and me

Just look at him..my boy,ignored the camera everytime i wanted to take his picture. He is not really excited to see the animals there, but he is just feel so free, be able to run here and there.

And finally, he gave me face. One for the album! Wish hubby was here but i forgot how to get there when hubby visited us two week ago.

It was a short trip and i guess my son is the happiest. More picts in my facebook.:)

Life is jusssst goood!!

2010-04-04T23:57:00.003+08:00

Dear blog,

I couldn't be a determine blogger anymore i guess..its not because i have nothing to write about but, i am too careful about time recently. My precious Yong2 is with me since three months ago and i just could not let the blogging or facebook-ing or net surfing steal the time that i should spend with my precious Yong2 on weekend or whenever i have free time. Since then, i also canceled all outdoors activities just because i want to be with him - my son. Like there is no tomorrow to do that.

This week, i supposed to go traveling to Bukit Gambang Resort City , Pahang with my students to celebrate their success in organizing their last semester project last Thursday. Hubby gave me green light to join since i'll bring my son along but unfortunately, i canceled it because i am not sure of untoward incident along the journey plus i don't want to take the risk. Another trip i canceled is to Gopeng Perak for rafting in which actually i really wanted to go..hmm..maybe next time.

I also canceled my driving class yesterday and i did the same to my facial treatment appointment. So, this weekend i just stayed at home taking care my son and to be more frank, there is no more 'boring' in my life even i'm not going anywhere on weekend.

All i need to be happy is my precious Yong2. He grown up. Very spoil, super active, smart, cheerful, demanding and the list goes on. I guess he is just like other kid. He is a boy some more, so what u expect for a little boy in his age would behave?hmm..if you are a mom, you know it.

He will turn 2 years old this coming 22nd April. Still thinking either ask hubby to come down to JB and celebrate it here or me and Yong2 fly back to Sabah and celebrate it there? It would be nice gathering with all i love back there though. So, i think i'll do a mini celebration here since 22nd falls on weekday and another celebration at home in Sabah. That's it!

My Precious Yong2

Lately..

2010-03-30T12:40:00.002+08:00

...i feel annoyed when people say this to me:

'i think, you are getting skinnier'.

i don't know why..hmm..

I also just found out that a friend of mine listed me as 'Evelyn Kering Kontang' in his handphone...kurang asam punya kawan...teda gelaran lain lagi ka dia mau bagi saya.(:

i don't mad but i just feel annoyed and frustrated.

Sleepy Entry :) (with the eyes that barely open)

2010-03-16T15:32:00.004+08:00

I feel damn sleepy right now at office..maybe i ate too much just now. but how come? I just had vegetable soup, fried fish and sambal belacan for lunch at a restaurant called HOME..hehhe..far better than spend money outside for food that is not really meet my bud taste.

In fact, i always wanted to have breakfast and lunch at home during weekdays but sometimes work does not permit me to going back home during lunch time.

This week is semester break but i don't going back to Sabah this time around. I'll be on leave on Thursday, Friday and next Monday. Hubby is visiting me and Yong2. Yeaahh!! Can't wait. This is his first time flying and first time coming to Johor ever since i work here. Hope he will be good on plane! hehe..

what to say more aa..(thinking what else to write)

hmm..i'm a bit hesitate to mention that this year i wanna gain weight...(shy, shy,shy..!!) Found that i'm annoyed with some friends telling me that i'm too skinny (sometimes). A new friend i met told me that i should be a bit bigger than my size now looking at my body frames. I don't know why, her word is keep whizzing in my ears..haish..(but i'm not blaming her la). Hubby is also feel that i should gain 2 or 3 kg to be added to my current weight (47kg)...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

so, what should i do? i eat more than my housemate (her size is just like me) but still no change. Where all the nutrients and vitamins gone? Is there a big worm inside my stomach eating them before all the nutrients and vitamins being absorbed by my body?..huhuu..what a crazy thought!

or is it because i'm a busy woman? working hard at office (ow, really?) and never ending mum's responsibilities at home?..hohoo..it could be the reason too. But i promise to grab any food on my way to make sure my resolution this year accomplished.

Eh, did i mentioned RESOLUTION? As far as my concern, since beginning of this year, i never set anything as my resolution yet, and today suddenly i set ONE..hahahaha..a resolution has been set in the sleepy mode..(can't help but i smileeeee in front of my lappy).

Well, friends, you all need to wish me luck!! (thinking what to cook this evening)

Driving Class: the 1st 2 hours on the road

2010-03-06T15:12:00.002+08:00

Yeaheyyy!!!

Finally i continue my driving class after being delayed for few months. Today is my 1st 2 hours driving on the road, started at 10am to 12pm. I supposed to take another 2 hours at 1pm to 3pm but i canceled it last minute. My 'cikgu' told me i will be fined rm5 perhour if i cancel it last minute but after i checked with the lady on duty at their counter, she said its okay. (of course after i gave her a strong reason: wanna take my son to the doctor).

In fact, i wanted to continue but this is weekend and i don't want my son being taken care by his babysitter too long on weekend..tidak sanggup pula saya rasa, kalau boleh hujung minggu biar la saya jaga sepenuh masa. kecuali betul2 terpaksa.

back to the story of my driving class;
hehee..so far not bad. My cikgu (Cikgu Hisham) is not talking much while we were on the road. No friendly talk between us. At 10.15am he gave me the car key and said: nombor 9457 kereta paling hujung, buat 5 perkara. jangan jalan dulu, tunggu cikgu. Macam la saya berani jalan kalau tiada cikgu di sebelah..hahhaa!

With the car key in my hand i walked toward the car and did the 5 steps before he came...eisehh..macam pro driver sdh konon sia time tu padahal berdebar-debar jantungku..haks!
He then said: okay, jalan. masuk gear satu, lepas clutch perlahan-lahan, tekan minyak. imbang..
vroom..vroom..vroomm...
believe or not, I AM ON THE ROAD ALREADY!!! tried to be calm as possible as i could (sebenarnya sedikit excited juga sebab akhirnya boleh belajar memandu di jalan raya), focus on what the cikgu ask me to do; tukar gear tekan clutch, at the junction pasang lampu isyarat membelok (common sense la), bila berhenti di simpang/traffic light bebaskan gear tarik handbreak and bla bla bla...hishh..banyak pula mau diingat tau.. I don't like la, cuba la kereta auto yang diguna utk belajar driving.tidak la penat and lagi senang..nasib la dah belajar sikit2 dengan hubby. tak la terkial-kial sangat.

My 1st big mistake today..enjin mati three times i tell you..hehhee..1st one, while waiting for the light to turn green, i let go the clutch because my kaki penat sangat..sorry cikgu!!!(*^).
2nd and 3rd, clutch and minyak tak seimbang..nasib cikgu tak marah sebab yang lain2 teknikal okay dia bilang.
I drove two rounds at the Route A (Pasir Gudang Complex) and once at Route B (Pasir Gudang Circuit)..i'm still not satisfied with my performance. But like one of the staff (not my cikgu-he didn't say anything nice to me) after tell me, this is only your first session, be good in next time. thank you though!

So, in my part i think i need to recap especially what need to be done at the junction and traffic lights. Macam saya kena buat nota o ni..hahaa..u guys don't laugh at me a..just wish me luck and supoort me supaya berjaya sampai dapat lesen nanti...i kan baru belajar.:) :)

So, that's all about my first two hours driving class on the road. the Next session, i haven't booked yet. But planning to continue next saturday.

Now i can breath normally

2010-03-04T22:32:00.002+08:00

The last 4 days recently really put me in a tense situation. YongYong was not feeling well for the past 4 days since we back from Sabah.

First he vomited due to his tonsils swollen, followed by high fever and after recover from number 1 & 2, come the bad rashes at his nappy area. Still in medication. In the process of recovering.

I tell you, when your little one not feeling well, they will turn very- very -very demanding. All they want is your 100% attention! I was so stress when i can't stop him crying due to the pain he feel. What double my tense was because i'm the only one with him here in JB. I tell you again, its not easy taking care a sick child alone especially when that is your first time experience. Saya boleh jadi over stress ooo..

But like i keep telling myself, THIS IS A MUM'S LIFE SHOULD BE. If last Sunday i decided to leave him with his grandma back in Sabah, and let them handle my son while he was sick, maybe until now i don't feel as good as now.

What most important is, I feel i'm stronger now after been through the 4 tense days alone.(with less help also from my housemate, but no question because she is not married and she has his own business. Nevertheless, thank you so much to her for sending and accompanying us to clinic!)

Now, i can breath normally and have my ease of mind. Even not totally but at least i can say it is in 95% level. Praised to the Almighty God!

Take FIVE

2010-03-02T10:52:00.002+08:00

Taking break from workload at my desk.

Still in the office. haven't take my lunch due to waiting for my friend/housemate to finish her class. Could be a late lunch..hmm..nasib tak lapar.

After a week holiday plus an emergency leave yesterday, i finally come back to work today..great things waiting for me on my desk..a pile of work..hehe..its a great thing because at least i know that i come to office to work not net surfing...hahaha..

Well...there a lot of occurrancess in my life for the past one week. But i can't update my blog immediately due to lack of FREE time. What most important is i had a great time with family back home throughout my holiday especially in celebrating my 4th brother's wedding on 19th and 22nd last February. Will post some of great pictures of the wedding soon.

There is also some news of my beloved YongYong too. Will also post about it. Till then. Cheers!

Happy Wednesday

2010-02-17T09:27:00.002+08:00

Good morning people!

Hardly believe its already Wednesday. After a loooongg weekend i feel so lazy to come back to work..argghh.

But, life is always must goes on. Need to work. If not nobody will give you money at the end of month. Did i mentioned MONEY?..hehhe..yes. nobody can live without it.You and Me want it. Well then, can we say MONEY is a need nowadays?(~~^~~)
Ooops..tiba-tiba ja mengarut pagi-pagi ni..
hmm..i better back to my work before i carried away by so many nonsense things in my mind right now.
Work!Work!Work!

Hubby or Kids?

2010-02-11T14:53:00.003+08:00

hmm..
In the office right now.
This question comes to my mind all of a sudden. Since back from lunch it is keep playing around my mind till i can't concentrate doing my work.;)
Well, a friend of mine asked me during lunch time whether i going back this coming CNY or not.
i said 'no, because my YongYong is here with me.
He then, asked 'Your hubby?'
i replied 'alaa..hubby biar la, yang penting YongYong di sini sama saya'.
Then he replied me 'ooo..no wonder la'. I guess he understand that for me child comes first.

This question is for those who married and have kid(s).
In any situation: who would comes first? Your Child (ren) or your hubby?

In my situation i found that i put my YongYong at the first place in my life then followed by hubby. There are many reasons and one of it is because YongYong is my only beloved son (at the moment). Its hard to elaborate more. A child hold a very special place in a mum's heart and mind. Nothing can compare.

Full Occupancy

2010-02-07T00:07:00.003+08:00

Full occupancy is a hotel term used to refer to a situation whereby all the rooms in the hotels are sold and occupied. That's how i can conclude on my situation now. Thats why only now i have time to update the world (as if the whole world reading my post, ahaks!) on what happen to my life throughout the week.

7 days passed and it is also means YongYong has been here with me for a week.
What can i say?
My daily life's routine has changed since then. I ever dream to bring YongYong and stay with me in Johor Bahru once and only now i made it into a reality. So, there is no regret and one thing for sure, this is life that exactly i should run since i have my son.

Well, 5 days under the care of a babysitter during day time these are what he, Kak Ani the baby sitter and me had experienced:
Monday:
YongYong ; didn't cry at all when i leave him to Kak Ani. He even said 'babai (bye bye!) and gave me a flying kiss before i off to office.
Me ; forgotten to take Kak Ani's number, felt worried at office the whole day and kept wondering how is YongYong with Kak Ani. Too many questions wandering in my mind. Wanted to go home during lunch time but too occupied with the office work.
Kak Ani ; She said YongYong was okay, also reported to me that one thing she didn't understand is why everytime she bathed YongYong, he will cry. Actually i forgot to inform her YongYong used to bath with warm water (just like me!) and even to clean his nappy area also must be using warm water too!

Tuesday:
YongYong: he didn't cry. just like the day before.
Me ; My anxiety lessen compared to the day before.
Kak Ani ; YongYong had twice naps this time compared to yesterday. She also said YongYong always 'minta dukung, masak pun kena dukung'..hehhe, that's my YongYong.

Wednesday & Tuesday:
YongYong; he cried and refused to go to Kak Ani's house..
Me: Wonder why he cried. Feel sad leaving him with Kak Ani but must go to work also.
Kak Ani: YongYong played the whole day with her son and daughters. She noticed that if there are other kids around, YongYong will not really look for her attention as he is too busy playing.

Friday ;
YongYong: he cried like yesterday.
Me: concluded that maybe YongYong's mood is not in yet.
Kak Ani: reported to me her hubby have to take YongYong for a ride around the neighbourhood to calm him that morning.

My conclusion ;
I was very lucky that YongYong is easily get use to stranger. My first worry when i made decision to bring YongYong here with me was 'could he adapt to a new environment?' and the answer is YES. His babysitter also assured me that YongYong has no problem with her and likewise. Her kids ; 2 boys aged 9 and 8 respectively and her daughter aged 7 really welcomed YongYong as their new companion and 'adik'. So, i guess he gonna be fine here.

While for me, what do you think i do the rest of the day?

Early morning:
Usually i wake up as early as 6am, make sure that i take bath before YongYong wake up. Get ready for work and if i'm lucky YongYong wake up exactly after i dressed up. After that, go downstair and warm his 'rice porridge' which i cooked earlier. Prepare his things : diapers, change clothes, milk and milk bottle, and other needs. Transfer them to Kak Ani who live just next door including YongYong and off to work.

Evening:
Try to feed YongYong before he goes to bed..that would be around 7pm. no need to bath him because Kak Ani have done it earlier but if he sweat a lot of course i need to clean and change his shirts to nightshirts. To make him sleep is another matter. At his age now, he needs 8 ounces milk and half and hour time till he fall asleep. Sometimes i fall asleep while waiting for him to sleep.My day is not end there. After that, i'll need to do laundry. That would be around 9pm. Everyday, only after he sleep. Well, i'm not the kind of mama who keeps dirty clothes for two or three days. For me better wash everyday than seeing them getting more and more day by day!

Hmm..now you see how occupied is my life throughout the week, right? Even friends at office notice that i look tired and seems not have enough sleep. Well, that's my life now. I'm happy with it.

What a tiring day!

2010-01-31T23:24:00.001+08:00

Akhirnya, YongYong telah pun tidur lena setelah seharian bermain dan bermanja denganku. Perasaan bahagia sebagai seorang ibu yang kini dapat menatap wajah satu-satunya anak yang dikasihi dan dirindui saban malam, tidak dapat digambarkan dengan kata-kata. Biar pun kepenatan dan geram dengan sifat manjanya, aku dapat merasakan kini YongYong tahu aku siapa selama ini yang hanya muncul sesekali menziarahinya. Walaupun dia masih kecil, tapi nalurinya dapat membezakan. Aku yakin yang itu.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flash back on what had happened all the way from Kota Kinabalu to Johor.

YongYong and Daddy. I think YongYong's daddy is in the mood of 'sedih' but of course he wouldn't cry in public like i always do every time i fly back to Johor without YongYong!

1. 6.55am flight from KK to Johor ; while waiting to boarding the flight me and YongYong play 'run, hide and seek' at the waiting area. Adoii..penat wweeii main kejar-kejar. Dia pula tidak pandai penat..i expecting that to happen since YongYong will never stay and sit more than 2 minutes unless he is very tired. but i never thought he is dare enough to run away from me and join the passengers to Kuching that was lining up waiting for their baording pass to be checked. Aiyooo..sampai ada satu urang lelaki dukung dia dan hantar balik sama sia..bikin malu mummy ja. Tapi time tu, sia buat cool ja konon. Padahal memang malu nda dapat kejar YongYong..hehehe..!

2. In the plane: YongYong made friends with the passengers sat behind us! Adooii..macam-macam dia try cakap sama tu orang di belakang..but one word he kept talking is 'bang' = kapal terbang. I guess he wanted to tell the passengers behind ' ini kapal terbang, kan? Nasib la itu orang layan YongYong.

3. At the Senai terminal: while waiting for our luggage, sempat lagi kami main kejar-kejar..he just can't stop..terpaksa sia kasi naik dia di troli luggage supaya dia tidak lari sana sini.

there he is still admiring the aircraft. Sampai tidak mau keluar dr terminal.

4. On the way to Pasir Gudang by a taxi : he vomited. I was panicked. He turn pale and look weak. I just remember that he didn't eat any solid food since 5am. I couldn't do anything other than wait till we reached home.

6. Arrived at home: I feed him straight away. Rice porridge from Marry Brown seems to suit his appetite. After that, he looked fresh again and start his routine again. huurmm..thanks God.

7. At home: he playing with his toys. tricycle and when he bored, he turn to me and say 'kung' means 'dukung'..naa..yang ni yang susah sikit. He wouldn't let me sit down or do anything else. Spoil boy!

Now, i'm waiting for tomorrow. His first day with his new babysitter. My neighbour, Kak Ani. Nervous.

I hope everything gonna be good 2mrw.

'Breach of Contract'

2010-01-27T22:32:00.002+08:00

Hari ni hari Rabu sudah lorr.. another one day to go. Macam countdown pula kan.):
Day at office was a bit quite since most of my colleagues went to attend the Kursus Kepenggunan at PJB Dewan Besar.
Lucky me because i'm not involve and i don't have to cancel my Hospitality Law class today. Banyak la topik mau cover, kalau postpone kelas lagi mesti tidak habis syllabus.

Well, what's with the title 'Breach of contract'?
Ngengenge..Nancy ko tau ni kan..Boleh jadi peguam sudah ni lepas habis semester. Hospitality Law yang di sini agak detail. Nda macam yang kita ajar di ACIC dulu. Terpaksa sia belajar dan fahami betul tu nota..tapi i like it konon..enjoy ajar tu budak-budak (Semester 6).

After office hour, my housemate ajak shopping..hohoohoo..itu yang ter 'breach of contract' tu. Kontrak dengan diri sendiri. Langgar peraturan. Bilang tidak mau beli kalau tiada dalam senarai akhirnya sia beli juga..uwauwauwaa..okay la, ini la kali terakhir dlm bulan ni. Bulan depan lain cerita lg la..hehhe..
What did i bought? this time i bought one thing for me..Tadaaa!!!
eisehh..tak mo la simpan gambar sini. Sia beli kasut. Cantik..brand tiada di sabah yet. FABIANO RICCO. Price not bad. affordable. biasa ja. i like it because it is very light. colour so sweet, just like my handphone colour..light pink.
And tommorrow sia mau pakai first time pigi karaja..hehehe..macam nda sabar mau pakai.
~~~~~~~~~~~
hmmm..

I called YongYong just now. He is in his good mood i guess.

He kept repeated these on the phone 'mama papa, mama papa, mama papa, papa mama, papa mama. (at the same time his finger pointing at our wedding picture on the wall).
Other words he usually pronounce when talking to me on the phone are:
1. Nenen (means his milk bottle),
2. bang (means kapal terbang),
3. yam (means ayam),
4. nek (means naik and nenek),
5. men (means main playstation with her daddy)
6.'kan' means ikan..
At the moment, i just cant wait to hug and give him kisses. Lots of kisses!

How about my Tuesday?

2010-01-26T22:48:00.002+08:00

Life today is just so-so but still grateful for everything i gone through. Itu mesti la kan..
Since i have no lecture the whole day, i took the opportunity to prepare class attendance sheets, preparing questions for assignment and etc..routine in every beginning of semester..A lecture's life!
No regret, its my choice to be here: or to be true 'its my choice to be a lecturer.

In the evening, at first i don't have any plan to go out but then suddenly my bro called ask for some financial help. So, i went to one of the Shopping Complex where cash deposit machine is still opened till midnight i guess. Done at the cash deposit machine. So, where do you think i'm heading?
Shopping Complex!!!
Oh no, it was really not a good idea because i promised to cut my shopping expenses especially on unplanned things..tapi itu kaki sia kan menghala juga ke sana ba..hishh.
But hey..i was VERY good today because i didn't buy anything for myself. I shopped for YongYong needs..lucky Yong2 kan. I bought him a new Baby Kiko sweater, two new milk bottles (Baby Kiko brand oso), a big packet of formula milk and also a big bag of Drypers Drypantz..i found that pants type of diapers are easier to handle especially when My YongYong refuses to lay down to wear his diapers.
Hmm..let me think back..wuaa.. I just bought three milk bottles last month and sweater lama dia pun masih ada dan masih boleh pakai..Aiyoo...nda pa la..well, Lucky you My YongYong..every month you will get a new milk bottles of different shapes..hehee..
tia tau kenapa, saya suka beli botol susu yang bermacam-macam bentuk. I always adore the pink colour but..err..tak kan sia mau bagi YongYong pink pula kan..hello mummy, i'm a boy okay!-mungkin YongYong akan cakap begitu kalau sia beli colour pink kan..hahha!Mummy wouldn't do that my boy!
Oh yeah..just now, i called the RHB Bank customer service centre to report about my credit card..huhuu..kena blok ba sia punya online transaction, trus nda dapat beli tiket ni..geram betul,ermm..salah sy juga sbb lupa-lupa ingat tu password sia. The person who picked up my call was a guy. Funny sebab mula-mula cakap slang semenanjung tapi mungkin dia nampak details sia orang Sabah, trus slang dia berubah jadi bunyi Sabahan. At first i ignore and i mantain my slang semenanjung juga, tapi lama-lama makin dia cakap Sabahan. So, sia tanya la dia orang sabah ka apa. Iya dia cakap. Trus berbual sekejap ni, siap tanya2 Sabah mana lagi..hahha..maksudnya orang tu nda sombong la kan. Jumpa Sabahan, cakap Sabahan.Walau pun di telefon ja. Hidup Sabahan!!Peace no war!! eisehh..tiba2 pula ni..
Okay, enough for today update..mau sambung belajar law lagi ni. Bisuk ada kelas, subjek law nda buli tipu2 @ kelentong sama budak2..nanti kena saman sia bg info salah..
oraiitt..caw cincau!!!
till then.

My Monday

2010-01-25T22:42:00.007+08:00

Its Monday.

Its the third day of Mourning Week for all Johorian after the death of Sultan Johor.

I was still a bit worried since i'm not Johorian and i'm not sure if i must dress the proper attire for mourning or not.The government had early announced that for seven days, Johorian must wear white shawl for female Muslims, and white-stripped Songkok for male. While for non-Muslim, they must wear a piece of black cloth on their arm.

Well, today to office i wore my brown baju kurung. No black-piece of cloth at my hand. Arrived at office, i can see most Muslims colleague were wearing white shawl/tudung. While, male staff put on their white- striped Songkok. One of my colleague said he cut his white unused shirt to make the white stripe on his Songkok..(haha..dia bilang yang baju kursus BTN yang memang nda buli pakai sudah sebab budak sekolah saja pakai).

Have you ever heard if you are not following the mourning dress code,authority will punish you? It happens here in Johor. Colleagues mentioned many of their friends already kena saman while their on the way to office for not following the dress-code. My only Indian's colleague remind me to follow because her friend was fined rm70 by the police this morning. Another colleague who is just came back from a shopping complex also told us that she saw a person was fined rm300 for the same offense. Na..daripada kena saman/denda bagus ikut saja kan..Muslim's friend who's not wearing white tudung also changed immediately when our head of department told them to do so. Authorities are also checking people in shopping complexes. So, beware if you are visiting Johor at this moment ya..Its not aim to burden people but its to make people respect the late as their former Sultan.

Hmm..its a new experience for me living in one of the state ruled by a King..good for me.

Oh yeah..forgot to mentioned that today is also pay day for govt servants.hehehee.. I transferred money here and there and..uhhhaa....and guess how much $$$$$ left in my account? errr..boleh la..no planning for shopping this time around. Mau berjimat kononnya..i tell my housemate 'kalau satu baju, boleh lagi la'..hahhaa, woman! I must disciplined myself lorr..(*^^).

This evening, me and housemate were so lazy to cook. So, we had our dinner at restaurant nearby our house.(teda kereta jadi x ble g jauh2..~~~~)

Above: Restoran Masakan Tomyam
Below: we chose to sit at the open air where cars passing by every now and then. Sambil makan sambil sedut asap kereta..hahha..

Below: my housemate sipping her Teh Tarik..(picture published with her permission)

I ate Tomyam Bihun..just so-so. Taste spicy. Untill now i still can feel the 'spicy' in my stomach..panas perut ni, confirm esok pagi cirit-birit!

My housemate had this Mee Bandung. she claimed it is too spicy..i tried it, memang spicy but yummy.

Well, that's my Monday all about. No Monday blues lorr..its only in our mind set. Kalau fikir Monday Blues, maka 'blue' la Monday anda..

(Eh hehey..i can't wait for Thursday woo!!)

till then!

3 in 1

2010-01-23T21:01:00.004+08:00

Hi people! i'm a bit crazy this time around. Sense of blogging come. Too many things occupying my mind but its hard to interpret it in a writing form.

hmm..maybe because i'm alone at home. So mind is working fast and furios, hahaha! thinking what to do to kill time.

Right now, I'm still wearing jeans and blouse; facing my laptop -blogging, facebook-ing, reading and preparing short notes for Hospitality Law for next week class and at the same time watching tv too..like a crazy woman o kan.

In this picture are my lappy, hospitality law notes and television switched on. Eh, why i'm not in a? of course la, who's taking picture if not me?..hehhe..is it a sign of boredom? taking picture of nothing and publish it in blog. But, who cares right? like many other bloggers, i'm blogging for what i'm doing-orang sabah cakap 'suka hati sia la mau tulis apa '..

Err..i'll not be like this if my son and hubby is around..sob, sob,sob..mau balik!!!!
***INTERLUDE****
(mau nangis dulu 5 minit)

Okay, time is over..tears wiped off. I think its time take my bath now. Its almost 10pm.

p/s: whoever reading this entry, i'm sorry if u totally can't understand my point..rambling of a long distance mum that couldn't express her feeling into words.

2010-01-23T17:00:00.002+08:00

Its Saturday. All Johorian mourning starting today after the death of Sultan Johor last nite. R.I.P Sultan...'rakyat Johor diarahkan berkabung 7 hari'.. Err..what i hope actually all government departments 'dicutikan' minggu depan..ehehee..need to find out from my Johorian colleague later on. If yes, i'll change my flight which i already booked on 28th evening to tommorrow..(day dreaming!!(*_^).

Oh yeah, I suppose to do hair treatment at 1.30pm today at one of the hair care centre in Johor Bahru, in which i booked since 2 weeks ago. 15 minutes before the appointment, the centre called me to cancel the appointment because they HAVE to closed within 30 minutes time. I was a bit mad at their sudden decision and reacted not so proper to the girl on line..ya la..da penat2 naik teksi datang sana mau buat hair treatment, tiba2 kena cancel..haiyoo..siapa yang nda bengang kan. At that time, i was only few steps from the hair care centre's door... huh! I told the girl, since i'm almost there, i will come to set a new appointment. So, my new appointment is on 6th March. The front desk lady told me that it is due to the Sultan Johor death. Hopefully there will be no more SULTAN passed away on that day.

Later on, i found out that the shopping complex management have ordered all the premises closed before 2pm..hohoohoo..my plan to go window shopping after my appointment 'dicancelkan' have to be forgotten..huhuuu..wrong timing ha?..so, what i do next? i stepped out from the complex, straight to the bus station, took a bus heading back. And know, here i ended writing this entry for my blog..one thing i glad, i saved a lot of money today.BIG congrates to me!!kalau tidak mesti habis 1-2ratus shopping yang nda dirancang..hahaa..woman!

Things would be very different if..

2010-01-10T15:03:00.003+08:00

..you spare a bit of your anger and give me a little respect!

I really wants to keep it by myself but i think its better to share it. Sharing is caring right? ):.

This is the ONLY thing that really mark 2009 in my life. I can say it's the BITTER. Whole of my life i never met a friend who acted so childish and give up friends over a very small matter.

Okay, let me share you this incident about three housemates (A, B and C(me)) went shopping for one week kitchen groceries supply. Previously, they used to happily go shopping together for kitchen supplies.

Early on after work A and B were agreed that they wanted to eat; 'Crabs cooked with Chilli sauce ' for the dinner.

So at the market, they were happily picking their preferred vegetables, fish, fruits and other kitchen needs.

Arrived at one stall selling fresh crabs;

A : C, Look! These crabs are fresh. Should we buy from this stall?

C: Hmmm..okay. The price is also reasonable.(RM10 per kilo). Ini ketam pun masih berat. Masih banyak isi. (i learn this from my father: ketam berat maksudnya masih banyak isi).

B came a minute later and say:

B: Mahal la..(while looking at the price tag and show disagree face).

A with sour face;

A: Ba, kalau kamu mau beli, beli la! ('A' say it with a high and rough voice tone)

After that A leave B and C and the Crab Stall Owner, dumbfounded. What was actually happened?

B and C were left speechless. But to cover the situation, B and C were pretending nothing happened and finally bought 3 crabs from the stall.(one for each of them la).

A never came back to join the rest of the shopping. Later C found out that A bought her own food separately. C still wondering what made A acted such a way and seems so irritated by B. B told C that perhaps A mad at her because she said the crab price was expensive.
C said:

C: What!!???just beacuse of that? But why? so childish!

The incident ruined their day even they pretend normal.

Back at home, cooking time. A never came down to the kitchen with B and C. Even the Crab cooked with Chilli Sauce B and C prepared, A never touched till the dish spoiled (her portion). C's kept reminding A to eat her portion. (c said, nanti kempunan). But the dish was remain untouched.

The stories about A, B and C not ended there..for about a month, A talk less and never joined B and C cooking (let alone dinner together). A only came down to kitchen when B and C already eaten and went into their room. A also never told B or C if she went out like she staying alone in the house! What an attitude as a housemate, right? since then,their days were not as happier as before. Meanwhile for B and C, things go on as usual because there is nothing between them. Still good friends.

Days passed by. There is no improvement in A's attitude. In this situation, C felt that A really pissed of by B and nothing to do with her. However, A seems treating C the same way. C kept trying hard to fix the situation but she failed. A acted the same way. A only talk when B or C talk first.

Then suddenly C realized that she ever posted something on her facebook status about the incident because C regretted and couldn't understand why A acted such way and C 100% sure that because of the post, A behave the same way towards her. C felt guilty but things will never could be fixed out again. Even worse!

Presently, A is no longer staying with B and C. Since B and C seems can get along to each other, they decided to move out from the old house they rented and moved in to new one where they can start a new story as a good friend.

Meanwhile for C, she still keep things in her heart about A's attitude toward her in the passed. She kept in heart that A never told her face to face that she wanted to move out from the house. She only heard it from outsiders. In C's opinion, as a housemate, if someone wanted to move out from the house then she must informed B and C nicely about her intention. At least show your respect to your housemate, right? This is another thing that C regretted about A. Until now.

C having a hard time to find strength to talk to A. Its all about the DISAPOINTMENT C's keep in her heart since then.

So dearest friends,

Please help C's with her DISAPOINTMENT by living your comment after reading..C's will appreciate it so much and hope C's could do something with it.

(Amazingly, i feel much better after i wrote down my DISAPPOINTMENT in my blog).

Love ya and Thank you.

Holla people!

2010-01-10T14:03:00.003+08:00

Holla people!

At first happy new year 2010!

did u say i was too late to wish everyone new year? hehee..its only the 10th day of 2010 ba..baru sepuluh hari..tapi sia rasa lama betul sudah sia berada di tahun 2010.

As for me there are things that mark the transition of year 2009 to 2010. There are:

1. I'm still serving Johor Bahru Polytechnic. That's clearly explain my application for transfer to Kota Kinabalu Polytechnic was failed..keeping the faith for this semester. God's willing.

2. Me and housemate moved to a new house on 3rd January. leaving all the bitter memory at the old house..i'll keep what it was about..

3. Being alone again. Without my beloved Yong2. Telephone bill increased (RM10-2 days!) I should change to postpaid this year.

4. I started the year 2010 with tears..siapa yang nda sedih kalau berpisah dengan family kan. Still remember on 2nd January i fly back to Johor, sia duduk ja di dalam kapal terbang sia nangis sudah sampai la di rumah..and that leads me to fever and flu the whole week. Its a terrible HOMESICK experience. I took no medicine to cure it.Only plain water and now i'm better.

That's my early year 2010 all about. Not so encouraging right? But life goes on.

Down

2009-12-10T13:18:00.003+08:00

Its been two weeks already Yong2 is here with me.

Now, i understand more of him and i can surely say HE is a little bit spoiled. slightly stubborn too.

I sometimes can't resist to raise my voice when he does something wrong and worse i even can't resist to 'rotan' his little feet when he really refuses to listen to what i say..uhuuhuu..jahat ka sia?..

Well, i just don't want him to be too manja. What makes me always giving up when i'm about to raise my voice, rotan or pinch him is he will make face that make me straight away carry and hug HIM. Trus nda jadi marah. Kalau jadi pun, sia akan menyesal.

Every afternoon when i come back from work, he will wait for me at the gate of our rented house..nah..siok betul sia rasa..buka ja pagar, dia terus minta dukung and peluk sia erat2 macam yang dia rindu betul sama sia..tapi, lepas tu dia tidak mau minta lepas. My mum said, 'baru dia mau merasa dan nampak ko hari2 ba tu'..hmm..betul juga.

Tapi sampai sia nda buli masak, mau mandi pun dia mo ikut, mau pee pun mau juga dia ikut...

I can say that i've been happy for this two weeks but right now..

I'm down.

I miss my hubby so much...argghh..

It strikes me when i was listening to some Dusun love songs. Tiba2 ja sia rasa rindu betul sama hubby..oh gosh!! sedih sia!!

Yong2 is here but i'm still incomplete without my other half..sampai sia TERnangis di ofis.

Oh God, give me strength..

Good Day to all blogger's friend.(or bloggers' friend? lupa la mana satu betul. correct me if i'm wrong ya).

What a title, right? Hehhee..

I've been missing from the blogworld for ages ..huhuu..tidak juga sibuk tapi malas nak tulis apa2..poor blog of me.......

Last saturday i attended Nc's weeding reception. Happy to see her finally settled down and join the club. Welcome to the club Nc! and hope your marriage will be blessed forever. I was unable to take pictures because my video cam is still at the shop for repairing...sedih juga. lambat betul siap repair.

At the reception, i met Nadia a.k.a NadKris, whom before i only know and chat through FB and blog..Nad, memang serupa dengan yg di gambar sama yang sebenar..Hahahaha..memang la ba kan..Nice and happy to see her and Kris.

Nad:Will pray for you both so that your planning for your next year wedding going smoothly.

Just a big update i guess, from now till 23rd december, Yong2 is here with in JB..Happy but sad..Sian daddy dia. Time d airport semalam, macam mo menangis daddy dia sebab kali ni giliran dia pula berjauhan dengan Yong2. Darling dear, that's the feeling i felt before. Don't worry, i'll take good care of our little prince.

So, that means for a moment i'll be functioning as a mum, fully.

Lazying at home at weekend

2009-10-11T21:27:00.002+08:00

I went to bed late last nite, woke up early this morning, play farmville till lunch time, start 'zzzzzzz' at around 12noon and woke up at 4.20pm..

I skipped church today..have no mood to go out from home. I spent my day playing games..not really a quality time during weekend but i'm just lazy to spend time outside..For some, may say 'boringnya hidup dia ni' but i prefer it that way..at least i'm not exposed to the various pollutions (air, wrong-doing of couple, etc.) outside.

_________________________________________

O yea..talking about wrong-doing of couples in public, i remembered an incident at a restaurant nearby our housing area. It was last month during the fasting month. Three friends and i were waiting for our meal being served and sat right next to our table was a muslim couple. We couldn't really sure if they are just married (but clearly seen no INAI at their hands), just declared as a lovey dovey couple or what but we were extremely irritated by their drama..

Hishh..tell you pals, mo muntah kami tingu 'drama' dorang ba..bergesel sini bergesel sana..renungan si perempuan terhadap si lelaki, renungan si lelaki terhadap si perempuan..tangan si lelaki ampai sana, tangan si perempuan ampai sini.. Yakss!!

We obviously and clearly said things that we hope they will heard such as 'eeee..teda tempat lain ka mo buat begitu', 'bikin malu la', 'Ipah (one of my friend), jangan ko buat begitu aaa sama bf ko, bikin malu', 'eeeii..sudah la tu, mo muntah kami tingu'..

You guys know what..they just make don't know ja..as if we weren't talking 'bout them..Sungguh x senonoh dan tak tau malu. Time puasa lagi tu..Hahaha..kami pun penyibuk ni, mau tingu juga apa dorang buat. The waiters at the restaurant just ignored them. Benda2 mcm ni bukan apa, we take it as a LESSON aka pengajaran aka pedoman..

Hehe..cerita selingan.

____________________________________________

Tommorrow is Monday and i'm going to be busy again, i guess..so its better tonight i go to bed early. I still uploading 3D2N camping pictures. Internet is slow currently makes me no mood to upload it.

Till then, Good Night to everyone. Have a good rest and God Bless U.

Back to the civilized world!

2009-10-06T10:22:00.006+08:00

Huahuahua..i'm back to the civilized world! Back to office yesterday. Not so busy but still there are things need to be done.

Stories from the trip to Endau Rompin Park? Lots to share but its better to let the pictures talk, right? I'll upload all the pictures in my fb this evening.

Time mo balik sudah. Ni dekat main entrance sebelum turun ke jeti.

Kitorang kena naik bot penambang untuk pergi ke campsite. Dari tepi sungai boleh nampak tahi gajah besar2..pun nda sempat ambil gambar.

bekas digigit 'pacat' di lengan sia. Ada lagi satu bawah bontot. silaka punya 'pacat'. Sia nda sedar pun bila dia naik kaki sia.

Nasib nda masuk mana2 lubang yang ada, Hahaha!

Kira mo ambil gambar time pacat tu sedang menggemukkan diri dengan darah sia, tapi nda sempat.

Sa nampak ja, trus rasa geram dan geli, laju ja tangan pigi buka. Ni belum kira yang baru sempat melekat ni, hisshh..memang banyak la.

gambar bawah ni pla, kaki student sedang 'bleeding' lepas pacat dibuka, Dorang biar ja.

Ada pla yang biar ja pacat tu hisap darah dorang.. hissh nda mau la sa. Kena gigit pacat ni tak sakit pun.

Yang sia nda suka, bila pacat tu da kena tarik, darah tak berhenti keluar. Mula2 sia nda tau..pas tu sa rasa macam basah2 seluar sia, rupa2nya bekas pacat gigit tu masih bleeding, trus macam kebocoran time period pula.

Gambar bawah pula, salah seorang penduduk kampung orang asli di Kg. Peta yang kami lalu sebelum sampai ke jeti. Cerita-cerita dengan dia, dapat tau pla bapa dia ni orang Sabah. Ceh, sia pun macam terkejut juga la, ada juga keturunan Sabah orang asli.

Kesimpulannya, memang siok la juga trip ni. Next trip pada 30hb-1 Nov ni ialah ke Pantai Cherating Pahang. But this one not camping, tinggal dekat chalet..hehee..means no pacat la this time.

Trip balik Sabah belum dapat rancang lagi. sedihnya,.ada ja aktiviti. Tapi nda pa, kasi buli ja ni!

(*_^).

Camping at Endau Rompin National Park (Johor-Pahang)

2009-10-01T22:03:00.003+08:00

Yeaay..! Tommorrow is the day.

I'm going camping like i post earlier in my fb.

Hehehe..year 2006 was the last year i went camping di Sabah..takut2 sia oo..

besides the excitement i also fear of many things..as if i never go camping kan..

It could be because of the following reasons:

1. this place is not in Sabah - tapi apa beza juga kan, kalau di Sabah camping site di hutan, sini pun hutan juga..hmmm

2. or because of the earthquake that hit Sumatera yesterday which i read in an online newspaper, the effect is also slightly can be felt in Johor - haiyaa..palis2 la kan teda apa2 juga

3. there is no telephone line there -hurmm, hubby is not really agree with me to join at first but since it is part of my responsibility as a tourism lecturer, he let me go finally. Ya la..sepa nda bimbang kan, 3 hari nda buli dihubungi dan di tempat orang pula..Dun worry dear, i'll take care myself and i'm gonna miss talking to you and Yong2 on the phone!

Logik juga la kan sia susah hati..Tapi sia tau HE is walking with me.

May HIS grace be with us throughout the camping. AMEN.

I am going camping!

2009-09-29T14:05:00.003+08:00

2nd October 2009, Friday, 8am.

Yupp..i'm going to Endau Rompin State Park this friday for 3D2N campsite stay. The Park is the 2nd largest national park in West Malaysia. Located in the midst of Johor and Pahang, covering 80,000 hectares of virgin jungle.

The trip is organized by Kelab Pelancongan Jabatan Hospitaliti, PJB and me and a friend have been selected as 'pensyarah pengiring' for the trip.

I searched through the internet regarding the park and yes i found so many info. Well, the organizer do provide the itinerary but i want a short glimpse of what and how things are waiting us there.

Basically, from PJB heading to Kluang by PJB bus, then 3 hours ride of van or 4WD to go to the jetty, an hour boat ride to get to the main entrance before trekking to the campsite...huh..memang adventure la kali ni..and nda sabarnya sia..

At the top of my camping checklist now is a CAMERA!

Sick and Homesick

2009-09-28T23:19:00.006+08:00

I am now Sick and homesick.

That's the two words that probably the best to translate my self right now.

My taste buds are not well functioning since yesterday...so, i just had these as my dinner today..

Plain soup of Mee Hoon, cabbage, fishcakes and fishballs (prepare it by myself)
Tapi itu pun nda habis makan..

Grapes (bought from Econsave Supermarket)

Feel hungry right now, but no apettite to take food at this moment. Hope to be better by tommorrow.

Blessed Monday to ALL!

2009-09-14T10:48:00.002+08:00

One more week to go. For the Muslim, they should be happy now as their fasting month will be ended very very soon and celebrating Hari Raya for another one month. Two of my muslim's friends say 'dugaan makin hebat bila dah nak hujung2 puasa'..hmm..not sure how truth it is since i do not fasting..

I'm not muslim and not fasting but still can't wait for the cuti raya to come. Yeaah..wanna go back home this Friday till 27th September..Nah, kalah2 orang yang mau beraya..my dear brother said last night, better i buy a plane since i going back to Sabah frequently..hahahaha!

Oh yea..juz can't keep it to myself, i passed the 'Ujian Undang2' last Saturday. 42/50..Lucky me! So i guess, there will be no problem after this especially the JPJ test..still far to go to that level though. I can only continue after the raya holiday..

This week, semester break begins for the Semester 1 students. I will be free the whole week since most of the classes i teach are semester 1 class..Yeaayy..!

Yiihaaa!! sambil lompat lompat ni di bilik + senyum2 mms dengan hubby..

Ngeee..i just can't keep it to myself..mau juga bagitau satu dunia ni..hehe..I've done the first step in the list in my MISSION to get driving license this year. Sioknyaaa..

I'll sit for the 'Exam Undang2' on 12th September next week..huhu..hopefully saya lulus!

Deleted comments in Fb

2009-09-05T10:01:00.003+08:00

Last nite i deleted tw0 comments on my status in my FB account..its because i feel offended with their comments..

Its not a big matter though but i dont like to see the comments everytime i go to my fb profile..i'm very particular about how people use their ability to speak fluently and write neatly in any language..speak only nice words and write only neat words!

Nevertheless, when come to expressing something its better to think twice which word is the most appropriate to use..Like my FB status last night..'listening to sabah vfm'..a friend comment 'kasian..dengar lagu sabah saja la khaaann..'. Kan bagus kalau dia cakap 'siok kan ada technology sekarang, mana2 ja kita berada pun buli dengar lagu Dusun'..I really offended! Macam menyindir saya saja ni..i think many times either delete it or leave it there but finally i deleted it.

I know, she wanted to show she is concern and sympathy to my situation now but sorry i just cant accept the way she did it....tak tau macam mana mau explain tapi memang tidak sesuai di hati saya cara dia cakap..macam yang saya suka pula jauh2 dari hubby sama anak sa..eeeii..entah la, geram pula bila saya ingat balik..

The 2nd comment deleted because she started her sentence with 'bogima..' (oops hey,,its not the p****a word okay..) it is in Rungus languange which means almost similar with 'kasian (kasihan)'..i also don't like it..so i deleted it too la..

Really sorry to 'them' because your comments were deleted. I'm not begging for people to 'kasian' me. I prefer support..

2009-09-02T23:23:00.003+08:00

A late night update. Have done the housekeeping in my room and also ironing my working attire for tommorrow..sleepy now, but feel like wanna update my blog. So here it is.

Only now have the chance to surf the net freely..blog hopping, reading and leaving comments on some friend's blog..checking facebook too.

Last night, the internet connection was terrible. While today at office, time was just not permitted me sit down and relax..classses, students problem to attend, late student registration to handle and bla bla bla..nevertheless..i am happy though. For the things that just passed. Its good to always remind ourselves TO BE GRATEFUL and FEEL GOOD for whatever things we have gone through for the day, neither good or bad..it makes me SMILE right now. I know GOD is happy too seeing me in this way..

Leaving all the worries behind are almost impossible if you are a type of person that easily be carried away by it..i experienced it too..its okay if you give yourself a time to be carried away but make sure after certain level be conscious and straight away think of positive things..remember GOD. Remember HIS word 'segala sesuatu ada waktunya'..so i think its not wrong if we sometimes say bad words, do wrong things,moody or just gone crazy even over a small things, right? Hahaha..don't be annoyed readers, its the only things running through my head right now..okay, okay..enough with all those pointless thought.

Now, its about my holiday last week back there in Sabah. I had a good time with hubby and son. Had a quality time with them.PERFECT ONE. In particular.

The two VVIPs in my life. My Dear Hubby and My Beloved Son.
Always missing their smile..

Can't wait to be with them again two weeks from now.

its good to be at home.

2009-08-28T15:26:00.002+08:00

Yupp. i am now at home. My real home i mean. In Kota Kinabalu.

Touched down at Kota Kinabalu today from Johor Bahru at 9.33am..

I feel like wanna hug my hubby when i saw him waiting for me right in front of the arrival hall this morning..hahhaa..

Just a frank confession from me, i don't know why if other wives feel the same way with me or not..but i do feel excited to see my hubby everytime i go home..it's the same feeling i felt everytime we met when we were dating..ahaks!..terbongkar rahsia sia kan..

As for my beloved Yong Yong..he excitedly smile at me when i arrived home..trus dia minta dukung sa..oohh..terharunya sia dia buat gitu..then, i straight away show him what have i bought for him, a new pair of shoes, a set of coloring book and also pants and shirts..and he also eagerly helped me to bongkar my luggage and took out all the things i packed inside..hahhaa..sweet Yong Yong..tidak sah kalau dia nda dapat tingu semua barang2 dalam beg..i just let him be because he will usually put all the things back at the place where he took it. Good manner for a small kid like him.
Agenda this evening is dinner with my family: hubby, dad and mom, sisters and brothers..Yumyum..

Relief

2009-08-27T13:10:00.003+08:00

Why should i?
Hehehe..because i have done some a must-to-do updates in my FRP (Fail rekod Pensyarah)..

Besa la..lepas kelas nda update..bila ada semakan baru mo buat..hihikhik..not a big matter though, because the most important thing is everything is in accordance to the so called LESSON PLAN..

I am reading newspaper right now. Berita Harian. Spotted one headline pg 12 'tiada sambutan ambang merdeka' sempena menghormati bulan ramadan.

Ahh..itu pun ada kaitan dengan title post saya..hahha..relief juga..at least teda la masalah2 sosial yang akan terjadi selain daripada utk elakkan penularan wabak H1N1.

Personally i feel very blessed living in a very peaceful country (minus those political conflicts in which i don't give them a damn). Especially when i go balik kampung..so peaceful, so calm and oh, i just feel refreshed everytime i go balik kampung..Nah, bisuk sia mo menghirup udara tanpa pencemaran...nda sabarnyaa..meninggalkan daerah Pasir Gudang yang sia tinggal sekarang walaupun sekejap ja..

Huh..satu lagi headline yg menarik perhatian sa 'rahsia cabul, rogol 4 anak terbongkar', di Terengganu..oh, my God..kes yang bukan baru. Perasaan ingin mencincang 'bapa' tersebut membuak2 dlm hati..sanggup merosakkan anak sendiri..diugut oleh ibu sendiri pla tu kalau mo buat laporan polis..budusssss betul. Nasib la salah seorang anak perempuan tu berani buat laporan polis. Memalukan betul..

oh ya..sebelum saya menyatakan hal ini, saya ingin meminta maaf kepada sesiapa pembaca Muslim yang terbaca coretan ini. Seluruh rakyat Malaysia tahu, sekarang ni Bulan Ramadhan @ Puasa. Yang bukan muslim sudah tentu tahu macam mana selayaknya mereka makan dan minum sepanjang bulan ni.

Cuma yang tidak sioknya, ada sesetengah organisasi MEMAKSA seorang pelajar pelatih bukan muslim untuk berpuasa. Pity her. Sedangkan saya pasti dalam ajaran agama Islam, teda ada suruhan untuk memaksa non-muslim berpuasa, am i right?

On the other hands, a non muslim friend who is i think not alert and concern enough put a status in his facebook 'haus, lapar'..which i think to certain people who sees it will feel irritated.

Hurmm..why people nowadays are so selfish a?..

Reasons To Feel Good

2009-08-21T09:38:00.004+08:00

Everyone has reasons to feel good like i do..the first thing first is you must set in your mind that 'I FEEL GOOD' all the time. I am telling you this not based on others opinion but it is purely from my own thought and from what i'm keep doing in everyday life and trying to maintain it no matter how big and terrible things come to me. IT WORKS..(even right now i'm crying, missing my son so much)..yeah..i still feel good for many good things that happen in my life recently..

and there is ONE extra ordinary person who makes me FEEL GOOD all the time.GOD.

So, here are some of HIS blessings onto me that makes me feel so good:

1. HE blessed me with new a notebook: ACER ASPIRE, 4736G..so that my hubby can use the old one for his work purpose.

2. HE blessed me with new SE mobile phone in pink colour which i dreamt for it since last year..NC, mesti ko tau mana satu ni kan..yang kita tingu2 sana ground floor centre point tu..hehe..harga dia murah sdh..

3. HE blessed me with a good health and opportunity to remove the oil cloth under my eyes which have been there since the time that i'm not sure either .. i give 100% trust to the team of Adeline Skin Care and Beauty to make the changes for me.

4. HE blessed with an opportunity to play for my department in winning 2nd place in the InterDepartment Netball Games, held last Wednesday. I played as Wing Attack aka WA..huhu..masih sakit2 badan sa sbb nda pernah main sejak tahun 1996..

5. HE blessed me with another chance to 'balik kampung' next week on Friday to see my hubby and son. THE GREATEST BLESS OF ALL and the main reason i feel so good today..sambil nyanyi lagu iklan 'i feel good'..(*__*).

Huhahuha!!!

2009-08-13T16:31:00.002+08:00

Huha yihaa!! 5.30 hari ni ada latihan netball..i'm quite excited since this is my 1st time playing netball since last i played for my school..

At this moment me and 11 others in the Hospitality department, representing our dept for PJB Netball Inter Department Competition. Can't wait to back in action!!hehehhe..

2009-08-11T12:36:00.002+08:00

huh..its been a long time i didn't update my blog..And today there is a reason why i suddenly being so motivated to write an entry.

I could say it is a PERMISSION or GREEN LIGHT from the DIRECTOR of Johor Bahru Polytechnic aka PJB.
YES. Me and a friend met up with PJB Director this morning, personally to discuss about status of our application of airticket from Johor Bahru to Kota Kinabalu this coming December..For your kind information, any government servant who has been working for 9 months and above is entitled to apply for free airticket to going back to his/her hometown (sabah/sarawak to semenanjung only and vice versa )..one more good thing being a government servant.!

We, however besides ticket, have also mentioned our intention and hope to be transfered to Kota Kinabalu Polytechnic. The director has shown his concern and his point that he will support our application really made us both relieved..Having the guarrante from our BIG DADDY is the greatest achievement so far in our effort to going back to Sabah. He even advice us to submit our application best after Hari Raya since currently the ministry of higher education is still busy relocating those staff who have been promoted to a new position.. The CHANCE is there, the SUPPORT is also there, only TIME is yet to come..
