Menu For Today Is Spaghetti...

So I'm not working today...

Woke up early, thanks to my little ones... Budak2 ni kan, bile nak kena gi skola, liat sangat nak bangon... Kadang2 tu tak bangon langsong... Bile tak skola on weekends, bangon pagi2 bute pulak... isssh...

Hubby's off to work already this morning, while me & the kids are actually getting ourselves ready for grocery shopping...

I was glad I vacuumed & mopped the living & kitchen room floor yesterday... Terlalu banyak abok so, yeap, need to clean up already coz I got small children at home... Too much dust is actually not good for them... At least once a week I need to get rid of the filthy dust...

Did a favor for the hubby of checking his e-mail... He was so hoping that the job vacancy he applied for had replied back but nada... The particular company that he was aiming for didn't drop an e-mail... pfft... Tapi takpe, insya'allah... I believe Allah swt knows what's best for our family; whatever future plans that we have in mind whatsoever... Everything happens for a reason... =)

So, OK... Gotta go... Sia2 jer aku bangon pagi2 bute tapi tak gi pasar beli barang masak... Nanti ape kate suami aku pulak... Member balek confirm nak makan nanti...

Chao meow...

Any Sooner & I'll Explode...

OK, I've already said that I'm having mood swings...

Then, today, this "he-colleague" of mine is so testing my patience... Bloody talkative in a way that he'll ask nonsensical questions that's out of your mind...

You tell me, what does Tiger Balm Medicated Oil has got to do with FLYING MOSQUITOES? What does other people's personal stuffs has got to do with me? Even my other colleague is beginning to get so pissed off with him!!

My goodness... Wei!! I'm not a walking dictionary or even a walking k-po-ist or even a walking First-Aid box... I'm just trying to work in this cute small office PEACEFULLY without any lame ass human being coming, asking me lame ass questions that I myself am not sure of... Halo!! Do I look like I know everything?!!

I'm already having a bloody migraine so can you not make it any worse for me?! I kept my freaking mouth shut & I don't even bother talking to you but yet your bloody mouth can't seem to stop TALKING NONSENSICALLY!! And you don't even know what does phone etiquette means sia!!

My job is to teach you all those work stuffs that you need to know. So you bloody well follow & stop asking me lame ass questions... Ape aku ajar, kau ikot la, BACEN!! Banyak songel pulak!!

WALAO!! GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK CAN OR NOT?! Kpale aku saket siak... I've had enough of having selfish, ill-mannered, ignorant, egostitical, copy-cat, show-off & bossy humans pissing me off day by day... Can you please not top the Hatred Chart up?

Bloody hell... Just do your work as I told you la... It makes everyone's job here in the office a little much more easier & efficient... -.- (sigh)

People Who Are Ignorant (Hum Drum 2)...

People who are ignorant,
Have invested valuable time...
And money spent.
To prove their foolishness and ways,
Makes a difference.
Although these folks within their minds,
Have an absence of common sense.
And, are noticeably self destructive & crazed.

People who are ignorant,
Spend every dime spent...
Revealing their incompetence.
And taking direction from those who are right,
Is something they've never done.
Since deceit & decadence has been their main appetite.

People who are ignorant,
Believe an ability to thieve makes them great.
They believe their disasters started,
Shows their expertise & them being able to create.
But people who are ignorant,
Like these folks show they are & can be?
May seek an empathy from others for their stupidity.
But sincerity shown these empty headed 'entities'...
Is a waste of time.
Unless one wishes a suffering done endlessly.

However...
People who are ignorant,
Have been convinced their way of life...
Is one pursued by those who are jealous.
And are threaten because they are envied!
And standards they value,
Reflects upon them in a 'special' light.

Ummi's Mood Swing...

As Salam,

Woke up this morning feeling tired with mood swings all over... Whole body didn't feel good - aching entirely on my left side... To top it all off, lots of things run into my mind... The conversation that I had with hubby about certain things, certain issues whatever... I pretty much am not myself today...

So who said that being a mom cum wife cum daughter cum finance admin is gonna be easy-peasy? Well, screw you! It takes a lot of hard work, effort & stamina (both physically & mentally) 24/7... I'm used to it already...

A good night sleep? Ha ha ha... Let me see, when was the last time I had a good night sleep? Maid? Nope... Definitely no maid assisting me coz I don't trust them to do things for the family, I'm fussy much... Silap2 kalau ade maid, maid aku klua sembunyi2 gi dating dengan bangla sesat mane then leave my kids on their own at home...

At the end of all this, it's the outcome of everything that you did for everyone around you... Well I guess, entah la eh... It just comes across my mind to blog... My mind's been pretty random lately... Thinking of myself, family & other stuffs...

Betol jugak cakap Nenek, "Nanti bile kau da kawen, da jadi istri orang, da ade anak sendiri... Baru kau tahu bertape besar nye pengorbanan seorang wanita itu..."

Lunch time today consists of snacks... Not in the mood for a good meal serving... So yeap, just eat snacks will do...

Oh & did I tell you that there's this new "he-colleague" in the office? My job was supposed to teach him whatever that needs to be taught but it seems that he's been pissing me & my other "she-colleague" (Wei Feng) with his nonsensical, irritating, lame-ass questions...


At the moment, I still have the patience to tolerate before I start to scream my lungs out at him... heh...



To all MOMS out there, "EVERYONE OF YOU ARE SPECIAL & SUPERLY MULTI-TASK IN YOUR OWN KIND OF WAY..." =)

Tired Of People Taking Advantage (Hum Drum 1)...

Tired of people taking advantage
Tried to make people happy
But wasn't successful
Every method taken backfired

Trying to bridge the gap created
But seems like another is being formed
No one thinking about each other
Just themselves

Thinking no point anymore
Just causing more stress
Leave things as they are
Let them be ignorant

There's no unity anymore
No strong figure to unite them
Slowly drifting apart
Soon there will be nothing left

10 Tips Untok Menjadi Isteri Solehah...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Mari hayati pesanan isteri ‘Auf bin Muhlim Ashaibani kepada puterinya ketika hendak bernikah dengan al-Haris bin Amr, raja negeri Kandah. Sewaktu utusan diraja hendak membawa pengantin untuk disampaikan kepada raja, ibunya berwasiat kepada anak perempuannya:

“Wahai anakku! Kalaulah wasiat ini untuk kesempurnaan adabmu, aku percaya kau telah mewarisi segala-galanya, tetapi ia sebagai peringatan untuk yang lalai dan pedoman kepada yang berakal.

Andai kata wanita tidak memerlukan suami kerana berasa cukup dengan kedua ibu bapanya, tentu ibumu adalah orang yang paling berasa cukup tanpa suami. Tetapi wanita diciptakan untuk lelaki dan lelaki diciptakan untuk mereka.

Wahai puteriku, Sesungguhnya engkau akan meninggalkan rumah tempat kamu dilahirkan dan kehidupan yang telah membesarkanmu untuk berpindah kepada seorang lelaki yang belum kamu kenal dan teman hidup yang baru. Kerana itu, jadilah 'budak' wanita baginya, tentu dia juga akan menjadi 'budak' bagimu serta menjadi pendampingmu yang setia.

Peliharalah 10 sifat ini terhadapnya, tentu ia akan menjadi perbendaharaan yang baik untukmu.


Pertama (1) & kedua (2) - berkhidmat dengan rasa puas serta taat dengan baik kepadanya.

Ketiga (3) & keempat (4) - memerhatikan tempat pandangan matanya dan bau yang diciumnya. Jangan sampai matanya memandang yang buruk daripadamu dan jangan sampai dia mencium kecuali yang harum daripadamu.

Kelima (5) & keenam (6) - memerhatikan waktu tidur dan waktu makannya, kerana lapar yang berlarutan dan tidur yang terganggu dapat menimbulkan rasa marah.

Ketujuh (7) & kelapan (8) - menjaga hartanya dan memelihara kehormatan serta keluarganya. Perkara pokok dalam masalah harta adalah membuat anggaran dan perkara pokok dalam keluarga adalah pengurusan yang baik.

Kesembilan (9) & kesepuluh (10) - jangan membangkang perintahnya dan jangan membuka rahsianya. Apabila kamu tidak mentaati perintahnya, bererti kamu melukai hatinya. Apabila kamu membuka rahsianya kamu tidak akan aman daripada pengkhianatannya.

Kemudian janganlah kamu bergembira di hadapannya ketika dia bersedih atau bersedih di hadapannya ketika dia bergembira. Jadilah kamu orang yang sangat menghormatinya, tentu dia akan sangat memuliakanmu.

Jadilah kamu orang yang selalu sepakat dengannya, tentu dia akan sangat belas kasihan dan sayang kepadamu.

Ketahuilah, sesungguhnya kamu tidak akan dapat apa yang kamu inginkan sehingga kamu mendahulukan keredaannya daripada keredaanmu, dan mendahulukan kesenangannya daripada kesenanganmu, baik dalam hal yang kamu sukai atau yang kamu benci dan Allah akan memberkatimu.”


Nasihat di atas seharusnya diterima dengan beberapa asas penting:

~ Suami yang dicari adalah suami yang beriman lagi taat kepada perintah Allah.

~ Ketaatan kepada suami adalah wajib dengan syarat beliau tidak melakukan perkara yang bertentangan dengan syariat Allah.

~ Begitulah hukum Allah, di sana sentiasa ada ‘dua bahagian muka syiling’. Kalau diperhati setiap nasihat di atas, perbuatan kita yang positif akan menghasilkan reaksi dan tindak balas positif juga dengan izin Allah.

~ Saya sering mengingatkan diri sendiri sebagai isteri dari muda hingga sekarang dan masih sangat mempercayai bahawa: "Kita hanya boleh mengubah diri sendiri. Percayalah apabila kita berubah, persekitaran dan orang di sekeliling juga akan berubah secara positif.”

My Grams @ Nenek Bedok...


It's been 4 months since I last called, spoke & met my Grams...

Eversince I moved in to Sengkang & my mobile phone went missing, I just lost all contacts... Well, not all la... Some only... heh... Those whom I trust actually...
So hati ni teringin sangat2 nak ngobro dengan Nenek Bedok coz my mind's been thinking about her for the past few weeks... Managed to get Nenek's mobile no. from the cousin [Thanks Lala...] & on the same day jugak aku call Nenek...

We spoke for nearly an hour over the phone... I asked about her well-being & she asked about mine; how my family was coping with everything @ our new crib... Basically, she knew that we no longer stayed in Yishun... I didn't tell her the whole story la, coz I didn't want her to worry much... But I know sooner or later she'll definitely know about it...

Wished her "Happy Mothers' Day..." & she started to go emo-ish, crying on the phone... As for me, aku ni pon biase jugak, kaki emo... Aku tahan jer la air mate aku ni... Step macho... heh... I know she misses me & my family... And I miss her too... Made a promise to her that we'll drop by to visit her @ her crib one day (Insya'allah)...

She's actually my grams from the maternal side of the family... The one who's been taking care of me eversince I was a baby... Mom would sent me to grams place on Sunday & fetched me up on Friday night coz no one would take care of me while she & dad went to work...

So yeap, you could say that I'm pretty close with grams coz my childhood days were spent with her almost every single day... Cucu favourite Nenek... heh... Whatever I want, Nenek would try her best to get it for me... Aku banyak dimanjekan oleh Nenek (and also my uncles & aunties plus godfather, Baba)... Whatever problems she had, she'll share it with me & due to that bond & trust, she even entrusted me with all her savings... As & when, she wants it, I just draw the money out for her... But that was the past bile aku maseh anak dare blom kawen, blom ade commitment... I'm married now & have my own responsibilities... Alhamdulillah Nenek understands...

I still give Nenek a little "hong bao" everytime I dropped by to see her or whenever she dropped by to pay us a visit... It's my way of showing gratitude towards her for everything that she did for me tanpe mengire waktu, penat & lelah...

I remembered how I used to ignore her naggings & complains when I was a teenager back then... How I used to get irritated by her "do this & do that" habits and all her pantang-larang... How she taught me what is Iqra, my first ablution, Wudhu, Solat & the Marhaban
along with her Marhaban clans consisted of Nenek-Neneks... I still sing the Marhaban now but with my children, Asyura especially... She likes hearing me sing & I'm glad that she memorises some of the songs... I was always there to accompany her for her grocery shopping @ her usual spot, Geylang Serai (tell you, I dread going to the Pasar Geylang smelly market... tapi kesiankan Nenek nak gi marketing punye pasal, aku ikot jugak)... I used to get scolded by Nenek & also (thinking back), how I hurt her feelings & made her cry... Ai yo... I was a bad cucu sometimes... Yet, she was still there for me... Regardless of whatever becomes of me, she was always there... And always will be...

My Nenek Bedok... She's just some of those few who will always be in my prayers & in my heart, no matter how far she may be...

Love you Nek... =)

Gotta get back to work now... Lunch time's up...
