I'm not on duty in the office last weekend (May 10th & 11th), so on Saturday, the hubby decided on us, going to Marina. We had our dinner at Long John Silver's and then went window shopping with the babies. Asil wasn't quite feeling well so we made an early move home...
I spent my Sunday at home as the hubby was out with his siblings... Something came up, so he had to leave urgently and be with them. So basically, I spent my Mothers' Day at home, alone with the babies. By the time, the hubby arrived home, it's like 7 plus in the evening... He bought me Indian Rojak but being the usual hungry me, we left home for dinner at about 10 in the evening to eat Indian Fried Noodles (Indian food AGAIN) coz the mum's not cooking (pffft).
To Lala (if you're reading this):- I thought of meeting up with you either this Thursday or Friday. So what say you? Kalau jadi, kite klua in the afternoon la...
To Baba:- Whatever it is that's happening outside, out there, let's pray that it won't happen to our family. I hope Allah swt will protect our family from any kind of harm. Amin. What I can say is, "DOSA MEMFITNAH SAMA SEPERTI MEMBUNUH". Insya'allah, sooner or later, JUSTICE will prevail and the wrongdoers shall be punished...!! Believe me...
To my Baby Asil:- Get well soon sayang... Ummi and Baba love you and Adek sooooooooooooo much!! Jadilah anak2 yang soleh dan solehah... Ingat pengorbanan Ummi dan Baba. Jangan sesekali sia2kan perjalanan hidup mu wahai anak2 ku... Jangan hampakan Ummi dan Baba... Our prayers will always be with the both of you no matter where you are...

When Gone Is The Glory...
When gone is the glory, when gone is the flame,
When gone is the name and you're left with yourself...
You look in the mirror, to search your face,
To remember who you are, who you ever were...
When gone is the glory, when gone is the shine,
Be gone the whole of your future and pride...
You look all around in search for a friend,
That no longer stands till the bitter end...
When gone is the glory, when gone is the sun,
When gone is the game, then what have you won?
Heartache and pain, of what could have been,
Only you know the truth, of what is within...
When gone is the praise, when gone is the fun,
Be gone the worth of what you've become...
When I am alone at the end of this story,
How does it feel when gone is the glory?
When gone is the name and you're left with yourself...
You look in the mirror, to search your face,
To remember who you are, who you ever were...
When gone is the glory, when gone is the shine,
Be gone the whole of your future and pride...
You look all around in search for a friend,
That no longer stands till the bitter end...
When gone is the glory, when gone is the sun,
When gone is the game, then what have you won?
Heartache and pain, of what could have been,
Only you know the truth, of what is within...
When gone is the praise, when gone is the fun,
Be gone the worth of what you've become...
When I am alone at the end of this story,
How does it feel when gone is the glory?

My Mind's Made Up, I'm Resigning...
(Top picture) Baba cradling Little Asyura in his arms...(Bottom picture) Baba with Little Asil @ Labrador Park...
After 7 years with the company, I decided that it's time for me to move on to a new working environment... It's a difficult decision to make coz I'm already attached to everything & everyone around here (including my boss's pet birds and fishes)... I've thought about it for sometime now and for the sake of my family, I've to make a change...
Hubby's been supportive of my decision... (Thanks Baba, I could've made up my mind if it wasn't for your thoughtful advice...) Love ya lots...!! :) Thanks to Anna, my ex-colleague and Uncle Richmond for being so supportive of my decisions. Thanks to my dearest cousin, Lala for sharing your point of views about this new job offer that I have in mind. Thanks y'all!! Couldn't have make the choice without you guys...
The thing is I need a job that allows me to work from Mondays thru Fridays (5 days a week), OFF on weekends and Public Holidays... But currently in ZS, I'm working on a 5 1/2 days basis with OFF on alternate weekends... Basically, my bosses can't fulfill my needs so I've to step down and make the GO-GO...
Feeling a bit sad to leave but it's the only choice, for the sake of my family...

"Look Ma, New Shoes...!!"
Went to Causeway Point with the family yesterday night and I bought myself a pair of platform shoes from Charles & Keith. I'm sooooooooo delighted...!! Been dying to buy since I first saw them; shoes at VivoCity...
At first the hubby was pleased with how the shoes looked like but after I made payment, he asked me on the price.
Him, "Lawa Ummi kasut yang you pilih."
Me, "Lawakan? Nak beli yang lagi satu punye macam too over la... So I decided to get this pair."
Him again, "OK, dah bayar belom?"
Me, "Da..."
Him, "How much is it?"
Me, "46 bucks..."
Him, "What????!!!! 40 what!!"
Me, "46 la..."
Him, "Mak ai, harga nye bole tahan..."
Me, "(silence all the way...)"
You know I've this "thing" for shoes, bags and clothings... So basically, yup!! I like 'em!! I like 'em lots!! Mwahahahahahaha!!
After which, later, the hubby decided on grabbing a 3/4 cargo pants but ended up not buying it coz to him it's too expensive and all. So we headed to the Bazaar, dropped by, and munched ourselves on "OTAK-OTAKs"... Then headed back home... :)

Woman...
Made out of a clot of blood
Nestled in a womb, away from harm
Chaste, from the day she was born
But as she aged, impurity spreads within her
Defying the Master of this entire Universe
Creating disputes over the freedom He had destined & granted
Given a physical structure meant only for her & the love of her life
She exploits the wilderness inside
Giving endless pleasure to men, unworthy of her mutual trust & respect
Manipulating mankind thru her beauty & lust,
Seducing them to a world of darkness & dusk...
Where are her morality, sense of dignity & pride?
Putting her inner most precious possession to waste only for some blokes,
Indecent to be her man
True man will not forsake & fake
Neither will he abandon her
A man abiding his promises, appreciates the uniqueness in her,
Guarding her deepest threats
A man who shields, a man who guides...
Controlling her own life
She walks on narrow pathways,
Unknown of the danger & obstacles ahead
She is let to drift, surrendering to a world of human needs & fantasies
Unable to foresee the depthness of her accumulated sins,
She is let loose & gone untamed
Promoting herself in a disreputable manner
Neglecting the great consequences in life, fully unaware of what lies upfront
Till the day retribution penetrates & strikes,
In the state of guilt & grief she will be
Turning into repentance with a crushed heart, she weeps
She is unfaithful, unfortunate & unforgivable...

I'm Backkkkkkk...!!
It's been quite a while since I last blogged in. Delivering my 2nd child, went on 3 months Maternity Leave, going out with the cousins, uncles & aunties, celebrating my mom's birthday, so on & so forth... Gina, Sue Anne & Anna, my best colleagues had left me for better job offers during my absence...
So right now, life in the office is pretty much a BORE!! No good "kakis"... New rules & new colleagues. I don't quite know them yet though except for one & her name's Flores Raquel Manansala (kalahkan name anak aku siak - panjang nye). I just call her Raquel & she's a Philippino & she LOVES to munch & munch & munch & you guess it - she's quite HUGE & healthy. So for the old Management Staffs of Zero Spot Laundry Services Pte Ltd, there's only Uncle Richmond & me. I still remember those times when all of us were having a fun time celebrating birthdays together & exchanging gifts. Those bitter sweet memories & how we made fun of people & laughed out loud like nobody's business... Those were the days, I guess... Well, life in ZS must go on...
Being a homemaker really do comes into my mind though. The thought of being with my 2 adorable little ones & preparing good meals for the family & all... Perhaps it's motherly instinct to be with your kids, nurturing them & providing lots of love in the family... You know, most of my friends working in high posts gave up their jobs just to be with their young ones & bond with the family.
To my opinion, this is the right way coz if you want your child to be what you want them to be, then you are the ones to educate them in the right of way. But as you know, the living standards in S'pore are way too high - increase in oil & grocery prices, bills, loans, expenses etc, one needs to have $$$ to run lots of neverending errands. Gosh!! So most S'porean women don't do full-time "homemaker" thingy anymore. They just work, work & work. Well, you know, there's this education fees & tuition fees & everything for the children.
So if a wife has some thought, she won't let her husband be the breadwinner & expects him to handle everything concerning $ in the family, especially when he's earning a low or middle wage monthly income. Moreover, you know, we ladies, love to shop, shop & shop... Tak kan nak let all burden goes to the hubby? Have some sense la... Mcm tak sedap ah kalau asyek nak pakai duit laki je bile nak g shopping... Budget here & there...
I hope hubby gets the job that he wants. I mean, he went thru the interview & all but have yet to wait for reply from that particular company.
He said, "Ummi, if I get this job offer, you've to be mentally & physically prepared coz I'm gonna spend less time with the family & you've to assist me in running the errands. You've to handle the kids alone without me most of the time. So you better be prepared OK? I'm not gonna always be @ home. I'm gonna be very busy & you know that I'm doing all this for our family, for our kids..."
So you see, with words like that coming out from him, it makes me wanna be a homemaker more... But as you know, there's always pros & cons when you decide on something (like me, I wanna be a full-time homemaker). So after much thought, I guess I'm just gonna have to work a little longer for a while & let my mom babysit the babies for me...
I resumed work in the office on May 2nd & I tell you it's a freaking mess down here!! They just do work their way & not following the way that I taught them. I had an argument with 1 of them just on my 1st day @ work. Arghhhhhh!! Feel like whacking her!! Heard that a lot of employees hated her because of her rudeness & laziness... Called herself as a "F. E"... Pffft!! F.E MY FOOT!!
They said, "Eh!! You know or not Lily, that woman is so damn bloody lazy... Everything don't know, don't know. Simple things also don't know.... KNS!!"
Anyway, as for me, I'll stand up for what I think is right & I'll never gonna let that bitch smack me up... She can stick that pig-smell tongue of hers out & shovel it up her huge stinky ASS!!
To my dearest cousin, Lala, thanks for being there whenever I needed your assistance. I really had a great time going out with you. Kekek siak kalau klua dengan kau. Lol. Mane aku asyek ajak kau makan, mane nak kena layan karenah anak2 aku, mane aku sesat tak tahu nak naik MRT gi Little India (ni part betol nye blur queen), mane aku terpelecok lepas kena injection kat peha aku lagi & banyak lagi... Hahahahahaha!! Tak leh angkat sei!! Hope we could still chill out again some day ya!! Love ya lots!! Mmmmmmmuaaaah!! :)

To my loving hubby, Rizal, I know you're doing all this for our family & it's a huge sacrifice that you've make. I'm very thankful & grateful to have a husband like you. Though sometimes we argued for even the slightest mistakes that each of us made, well, tu kan lumrah hidop suami isteri... Insya'allah, there's much for us to learn along the way... I'm sure of that... The decision that I made, having you in my life, as my husband... What more can I say? Alhamdulillah, Allah has given me you & you are the one that I'm willing to share this remaining life of mine with... I pray that we won't fall into making the same mistakes other married couples did. Ameen. :)
