Something To Share...

I'm still in the office... End month billing needs to be done for some Hotel customers... pfft...

I was just checking my mail box when I saw this wonderful e-mail sent by a friend of mine... Her name's Adeq Deah... (Thanks Adeq for this wonderful e-mail... Cek suko noh!! Hang ada lagi tak? Mai la bagi kat Cek!!) Very interesting... So please read...

By the way, I won't be coming to work tomorrow... Need to send Baby Asyura for her monthly Immunisation Jab at the neighbourhood Polyclinic... Moreover, IT'S MY 27TH BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!! Woo hoo!! I'm a year older!! Alhamdulillah... Allah swt panjangkan lagi umor ku...

So, OK, here's the e-mail article, titled, SELOKA USTAZ HAJI AKIL HAYY RAWA... (Very interesting yet TRUE)


Di dalam hidup manusia, yang penting ialah BERKAT.
Bila hidup kita berkat, diri ini akan selamat.
Apabila diri selamat, rumahtangga jadi sepakat.
Apabila rumahtangga jadi sepakat, masyarakat jadi muafakat.
Apabila masyarakat jadi muafakat, negara kita menjadi kuat.
Apabila negara menjadi kuat, negara luar jadi hormat.
Apabila negara luar jadi hormat, permusuhan pun tersekat.
Apabila permusuhan tersekat, pembangunan pun meningkat.
Apabila pembangunan pun meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat.
TETAPI AWAS, apabila pembangunan meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat, kita lihat bangunan naik bertingkat-tingkat.
Ditengah-tengah itu, tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat.
Apabila tempat-tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat, KETIKA ITU manusia mula mengubah tabiat.
Apabila manusia telah mengubah tabiat, ada yang jadi lalat ada yang jadi ulat.
Apabila manusia dah jadi ulat, sembahyang makin hari makin liat.
Apabila sembahyang jadi liat, orang baik ada yang bertukar jadi jahat.
Apabila orang baik bertukar jahat, orang miskin pula nak kaya cepat.
Apabila orang miskin nak kaya cepat, orang tua pula nak mati lambat.
Apabila orang tua nak mati lambat, tak dapat minum madu telan jerla minyak gamat.
Yang lelaki, budak budak muda pakai seluar ketat. Semua nak tunjuk kuat.
Bila berjudi, percaya unsur kurafat.
Tapi hidup pula yang melarat.
Tali kasut dah tak berikat.
Rambut pun jarang sikat.
Yang perempuan, pakai mini sekerat.
Suka pakai baju ketat.
Suka sangat menunjukkan pusat.
Hingga tak pedulikan lagi batasan aurat.
Pakai pulak yang singkat-singkat.
Kadang-kadang ternampak benda 'bulat'.
Bila jadi macam ini, siapa lihat pasti tercegat.
Silap gaya jadi gawat, bohsia bohjan lagi hebat.
Duduk jauh berkirim surat.
Bila berjumpa, tangan berjabat.
Kemudian pakat lawan peluk siapa erat.
Masa tu, nafas naik sampai tersekat-sekat.
Usah peduli agama dan adat.
Usah takut Allah dan malaikat.
Yang penting apa kita nak buat?
Kita 'bukti' lah kita buat.
Akhirnya perut kempis dah jadi bulat.
Apabila perut kempis dah jadi bulat, maka lahirlah pula anak-anak yang tak cukup sifat.
Bila anak-anak tak cukup sifat, jam tu kita tengok bayi dibuang di merata tempat.
MAKNANYA KETIKA ITU, IBLIS MULA MELOMPAT.
Dia kata apa?
Habis manusia dah masuk jerat.
Habis manusia telah tersesat.
Inilah dia fenomena masyarakat.
Oleh itu wahai saudaraku dan para sahabat,
Marilah kita pakat mengingat,
Bahawa dunia hari ini makin singkat,
Esok atau lusa mungkin kiamat,
Sampai masa kita semua akan berangkat!
Berangkat menuju ke negeri akhirat.
Di sana kita akan ditanya apa yang kita buat.
Masa tu, sendiri mau ingat.
Umur mu banyak mana mu buat ibadat...?
Zaman muda mu, apa yang telah mu buat...?
Harta benda anta, dari mana anta dapat...?
Ilmu anta, adakah anta manafaat...?
Semoga ianya dapat mengingatkan kita supaya segera meninggalkan maksiat dan memperbanyakkan ibadat.

I'm Just Glad To See All Of Them...

(above) The Uncles, Aunties & Cousins...






Like I said in my previous blog, there's this Wedding Function going on from the mom's side of the family... So I've uploaded some pictures taken from the Wedding...
Hubby wasn't available on Sunday... He's at ITE MacPherson attending his course as usual... So basically, I went to the wedding with the babies...

I was so happy to meet all of them there... We then headed to my aunt's crib after the wedding coz she stays nearby... So yeah, chilled there for a while, had some 'kara-ok-ing', chit-chatted before the hubby came to fetch us home...

To Cousin Lala: I'm so glad and happy that we finally meet!! I mean... It was fun!! The best part was when we played a joke on Cousin Sutinah and you recorded it in your video camera... Gosh!! That was so freaking hilarious!! Mwahahahahaha!! So I see you when I see you again ya... Mmmmmuah!!

What A Breezy Saturday...

(above) This Baby Jilbab was given by Mama Yang and it really looked cute on Asyura...
(above) Asil pon sebok-sebok nak pakai jugak...
(above) He really looked like a girl...




Weather was so moist, cold, chilling and breezy lately... Oh Allah, thank you so much for this wonderful cozy weather... It would be nicer if Singapore has this kind of weather all year round...

Office life today is a pain in the ass... I'm with this new colleague... I tell you, teaching her to do things is really KILLING ME... Arghhhh!!

The new colleague, "Halo... Ma nem... Yi-yi... I nu herrrr... I from Me-yan-marrrrr..."
Me, "Huh? Oh OK... Hello, my name's Lily and I'll be guiding you on your job scope and everything..."
She, "OK... Ma jo-be-skop ya... OK OK... I yan-derrr-stan... Yu tel mi and I du ya..."
Me, " Huh? Oh OK..."

I mean... Her English accent is so 'foreign'... I really had a difficult time understanding and teaching her stuffs... I mean... She'll be going on and on saying, "OK OK... I yan-derrr-stan", but ended up creating a freaking mess on all the paper works...!!

Gosh!! I wonder why of all foreign employees, my superior would go ahead and chose someone from Myanmar... I mean... She's just wasting my time...!! I've got a whole lot of paper works to be done and for her to create a mess out of it is so making things worst for me...

So yeah... Basically I'm in the office with her... The others are not working today... It seems so very peaceful... Less phone calls and less noise... Hmmmmm...


I've some pictures that I'll like to upload for y'all to see... Pictures of my babies... Quite cute I tell you... Anyway, there's this wedding function going on in Marsiling... A relative from the maternal side of the family...

So the mom thought of bringing Baby Asil along for the wedding gathering (Rewang) today... And I'm like, "Wait a minute... Rather than you bring my son, I prefer if you just bring Baby Asyura along coz it's lesser hassle..." I mean... Asil is 'the can't sit still and always love to run around' type of toddler while Asyura is a 5 month old baby who just sits quietly in the stroller, drools most of her entire time, watching and getting fascinated by just looking at her own little baby fingers...

So I told the mom, she just bring Asyura with her while Asil stays home with his Baba (Hubby's on half day today). When the time comes, hubby will fetch me from work together with Asil and we'll go straight to the 'Rewang' thingy to get Asyura... Not so sure whether we'll stay there for a while though...

Been A Bit Occupied And SICK...!!

I've not been updating LATELY... I wasn't working on weekends... The dad-in-law's operation had been postponed to next month...


On Friday, hubby, babies and I, we had our dinner at Al-Ameen, Woodlands...


Saturday's picnic meet-up with my aunts, uncles and cousins was a dread... Mission to drag hubby to go East Coast Park, FAILED... He don't wanna go and for that, I'm a bit pissed... pfft... So we ended up going to Toa Payoh instead, had our dinner at the usual place, headed back to Yishun where we sat at 'Seletar Dam' and went home... I was really really sad that I couldn't meet up with my relatives and all... Sorry y'all... :(


Woke up and feeling much better on Sunday... Hubby had his usual course at ITE Aljunied. I got the babies ready and we're off to Geylang where I met him at Tanjong Katong Complex... After which, we headed to Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 (the new terminal)... Had dinner at the food court... Gosh!! Food was so freaking EXPENSIVE siak...!! The new terminal was so very nice... I managed to take some pictures along the way... Baby Asil was so happy that he was given the freedom to run around freely there... The place was soooooooooooo clean, HUGE and spacious... Then we got on the Sky Train where we proceeded to our next stop, Terminal 2... Walk around little bit before heading home...


I was on Medical Leave for 2 days (Gerek! 4 hari aku dudok kat rumah & spent time with the babies - Sat till Tue)... Even the hubby and babies were sick... We went to the doctor, the four of us... Medical fees were so freaking expensive... Total amount charged inclusive of consultation was 110 bucks... 110 bucks gone just like that... pfft...


So here I am in the office... Not in the mood to work and face some of the office idiots, as usual... Feeling very irritated with this freaking blocked nose and a sore throat... I gotta end my conversation here coz I really am not feeling well today and it suck to be SICK sometimes (especially went you're still sick after having 2 days of Medical Leaves)... Doctor!! I want you to extend my Medical Leave pleaseeeeeeee...!! Arggghhh...!!


By the way, I would like to make an announcement... ALEP HAS A GIRLFRIEND!! lol!! I can't believe it!! Fatty got himself a GIRL-FRIEND... OK, her name's Khatijah and he called her KHAT (as in cat - meow)... She looks so chubby and bubbly like... Tak sangke ye adek aku pandai jugak pilih girlfriend... If Cousin Shakeir has a girlfriend, I would call it, LOVE AT 1ST SMELL, coz he got this 'nice' armpit odour that my uncles, aunties, cousins and me can't tolerate even for 10 seconds. But, if Alep has a girlfriend, I would say that it's, LOVE AT 1ST MUNCH coz this brother of mine, he really loves to eat... I mean REALLY REALLY eat... Dapat girlfriend pon badan chubby macam diyer... So yeah, wish him all the best in his love-life... My parents aren't aware about this... So anyway, he cracked the news up to ME and only ME and now, I'm officially gonna make it known in my blog... (Alep is so gonna kill me for this) Mwahahahahahaha!!

It's Been 5 Darn Days Already...


So it's been 5 days already... I've been taking the public transport to work coz as y'all know, the hubby's on Reservist... pfft... I mean what's with this Reservist and all... He's been coming home looking pretty shagged... There's this I.P.P.T la, DRILLING la, RESCUE OPERATIONS la and whatever la...


For the past 5 days, I've been walking from my home to the bus stop, waited for the bus to arrive, then I'll get on board the bus and remain seated till I reached my destination. Then, I'll alight from the bus, walked like 10 to 12mins before I reached my work place... AND during that walking from the BUS STOP to my WORK PLACE, I've to pass thru a bunch of stray dogs along the way... I mean... I've this 'thing' for dogs (whatever dogs la...) and they really scare the hell out of me... I'm so so afraid of dogs... Even the hubby makes fun of me sometimes...


So not having the hubby to send and fetch me home is a dread sometimes regardless of whether he's on Reservist or not... And it's all because of the freaking dogs... I mean... Hey!! They ever did tailed me from behind thrice...!! Imagine how freaked out I was!! Gosh!! I was like running and screaming like a mad woman... I don't even care if anyone saw the whole incident or not... Funny thing how the dogs freaked out too after hearing my scream...


Well, what I heard from the hubby was, that today will be his last day of Reservist (I hope so...pfft...). And I'm not gonna be working tomorrow and neither will I be working on Sunday... So I hope, he'll be able to send and fetch me home again starting from next week...


Dad-in-law was said to be hospitalised today coz he needs to have an operation done on his intestines... I'm not so sure what's wrong with his intestines... Called him this morning to ask about his outcome on the operation but he said he'll call me back... So yeah, I'm waiting for his call... I hope he's gonna be okay... I mean, he's the best dad-in-law ever!! Insya'allah he'll be fine...


My mom's organising a family outing at East Coast Park tomorrow... I heard the ones who's gonna be there are Wak Din, Wak Wit, Mama Li & family, Mama Yang & family, Wak Lan & family, Mama Poi & family and lots more plus the cousins and all... I've not inform hubby about this outing yet but I really really wanna go and meet up with all of 'em... I mean... When was the last time we did this? The whole lot of them especially Mama Poi... Most of the uncles and aunties haven't been 'catching things up' with her since the incident that happened between her and some of my uncles... But I'm just glad everything is a bit OK now... Thanks to Allah swt, if it weren't for HIM, this family 'peace' thing won't be happening... If it weren't for Grams to be warded into the hospital recently, we won't be able to see Mama Poi again... I'm just glad that this 'family conflict among siblings' thing is subsiding slowly... As some might say, "Let bygones be bygones..."


So, OK... I'll just procrastinate and see what happens next... Mwahahaha!! Just kidding... I gotta finish my freaking paper works and reports... And when it's time for me to leave the office at 6pm, I'll just pack my things and GO... Baby Asil's down with a bit of fever and flu... He got it from his Grams... pfft... What to do... Kids... They get sick easily... blurgh... I'm gonna bring him to the doctor later after work... Hope he'll recuperate soon... sigh... Miss my babies already... I wanna go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It's freaking noisy here in the office... My office colleagues are like singing their hearts out... The bosses aren't in and everyone were like... you know... it's like we're having a party... Woo hoo...!!


I've gotta sign off now... Gotta surf the net on some accounting stuffs... Chao!!

Sekiranya Ku Seorang Ibu...

I'm tired, shagged, sleepy, moody, grumpy whatever... I don't even have the mood to even talk to my office colleagues... I'm just procrastinating till the time comes for me to leave the office and head back home... To add to my 'mood swings' there's a bunch of Renovation Contractors doing some renovation works downstairs... The sound of walls being drilled, hammered and all... urghh... It's so noisy and irritating...

So, yesterday at home, I was busy looking for this particular story book that I bought a few years back when suddenly, I stumbled upon my book of poems... You know I've this 'thing' for poems... Almost everything that involves around me will be written into poems... That's how I express my feelings... So as you can see in my older blogs, those poems are written by me... There's this particular poem that I wrote in Malay. I wrote it about 4 years ago... So here goes...



Sekiranya Ku Seorang Ibu...

Ku tak secerdik mereka,
Ibu-ibu yang berijazah

Ku tak sekaya mereka,
Yang berjawatan tinggi

Walaupun tak semulia,
Ku inginkan kejayaan berjaya
Sebagai seorang ibu...

Setiap impian ku hargai,
Agar menjadi suatu kenyataan
Setiap misi ku laksanakan

Hanya satu di lubuk hatiku,
Membimbingmu wahai ANAK,
Agar ku kan berjaya
Sebagai seorang ibu...

Walau kemuliaan tak ku kecapi,
Emas segudang tak ku punyai,
Sekiranya dia yang menyusuli
Menjadi ANAK JATI, aku bangga
Kerana ku tahu ku berjaya,
Sebagai seorang ibu...

Impianku yang satu ini,
Kan ku semat di hati selalu

Sekiranya ku gagal membentukmu ANAK,
Tiada apa yang dibanggakan lagi
Walau harta setinggi bukit

Hatiku kan tetap murung,
Sekiranya gagal untuk berjaya
Sebagai seorang ibu...

Weekend Spent With My Family...

Baba and Baby Asil at East Coast Park...

My new watch...
Baby Asil eating some snacks...
Baba and me, we looked pretty shagged don't we?


My darling Asyura...



(All of the above) Pictures taken on our Saturday trip...






(All of the above) A trip to the car wash on Sunday...


Saturday was a pleasant day. Hubby fetched me up from work... Got home, we rested for a while before getting ready to bring the babies out to Jurong, IMM...
We left the house at about 6 plus. Got the car washed up at Jurong before heading to IMM. We reached the mall at about 7 plus in the evening and it was packed with humans!! I mean... Really, really, really freaking packed and crowded!! Even the car park was full!! I mean... There's no parking space and we've to wait to get a vacant space... Sheesh...!!
We bought ourselves Honeydew and Watermelon Juice. Passed by this bakery shop (Forgot the name of the shop... 'Roti something...' Not so sure...)and the smell of the buns being baked in the oven was so overwhelming that we decided to bought some and damn the hot buns tasted GOOOOOOOOOOD!! I managed to get myself a watch and it costs 10 bucks... Freaking cheap... You know me, anything NICE and CHEAP, really goes well on me... Mwahahahaha!!
Then we went to Giant Supermarket where there's this clearance sale and most stuffs were like selling half their usual price and everybody were like you know, being the 'KIASU' Singaporeans... "Everything must buy one la Aunty..." We wasted half and hour to like 45 mins just by queuing at the cashier and we only bought 3 items!! Sheesh!! A waste of time... By the time we had dinner, it was already 9.15pm... Thanks to the long queue of course...!! pfft...
Dinner at 'Banquet Bagus', was OK, except for the long queue... I mean... What's with the long queue and all... Everyone was like queuing at almost every corner of the place!! Gosh!! Asil and Asyura were getting so agitated with the crowd and all... We didn't even have the time to go DAISO... So we just headed back home instead...
Sunday... Hmmm... Let me see... Hubby had a course to attend to at ITE Aljunied (the school where Alep is taking his Digital Animation course at)... So basically, the course is from 9 to 5pm every Sunday... So instead of me just sitting at home, waiting for hubby to come and fetch us out after his course, I decided to get the babies ready and meet him at Geylang coz it's much more convenient and moreover I could do my 'shopping' at Tanjong Katong Complex while waiting for him...
I bought 2 blouse and 2 scarfs for like 20 bucks altogether... Cheap... Then, Asil starts to feeling agitate so I bought him a toy airplane to keep himself occupied... I bought 2 cute little 'Hello Kitty' bolsters for Asyura... Then, it's Asyura's turn to feel agitate... She's like crying and wailing... Kasi susu tak nak, semua tak nak... I ended up carrying her and rock her to sleep...
Met up with hubby at the car park before heading to East Coast Park where we had a mini picnic by the sea... We had dinner at Toa Payoh Central, Fork & Spoon Food Court... Walk around the area and then, I saw this bag which was selling at 10 bucks... Membe ape lagi, beli la... Murah giler... 10 ketol pulak tu... Lawa pulak tu... Then we went to NTUC, bought some groceries before heading back home...
Hubby's going for his 'Reservist' for the entire week... So, I've to take the public transport to work... So, OK, as usual, I've uploaded some pictures for y'all to see... :)
