Salam Ma’al Hijrah,
to all my dear muslim friends.

hello..hi..selamat pagi, err..apa khabar?
ehehe…konon2 macam intro to my first blog again eh?

it’s been awhile i’m away from here, nor checking the updates.
(eleh..it’s just one week or so kot kan, mcm le lama sgt). heh
as if you all might interested to know, well…i’m just around, literally.

after the hari raya short break, oh yes speaking of which, we had beefy affair the same this year. just like my old days but it was first time for marka witness the qurban event, i dragged him to watch the slaughtering do, so much to my surprise he was (quite) greatly disturbed by then.
he kept himself in bed for the whole day and refused to take any sight of beef later on. he hardly deal with the qurban-do images sliding to his mind, especially the eyes, he confided later.
heh. berjiwa sensitip jgk ropanya my marka, pesen ini samurai pun ada kaa.
btw, we took a pic of “tht moment”, but i dun think it’s wise idea to put up here. so tak payah lah.

ok now. so after the makan-makan do…
ehem…you all know alredi kan, i kan suka mempoyo, so in line with my poyo-ness saja la nk mention kan, ehem..ekceli kan, I MASAK SENDIRI tau for the small makan2 do, dah tu my kakak tak balik, my another kakak dalam pantang (her own loose pantang version pun), so the maids tolong la kopek bawang and cuci mencuci. so terasa la mcm nigella jap, except nigella tak suruh maid itu ini and nigella tak masak daging kerutuk, dalca tulang, ayam goreng berempah (ala-ala la sebenarnya for marka yg refuse makan any bit of beef) and acar simple, kot.
alaa..bukan sape pun yg kitorg ajak, just family2 member je, namely my mom’s family affair la. abang adik dia, cousins dia and anak2 diorang. namun, ececeh…sempat la jgk mendapat kata2 manis mereka. heh. yelah..orang ajak dtg makan kan, pree plak tu kan, takkan tak puji sikit sebanyak kan walaupun tidak berapa ihklas. lojik la tuh. but it boost up my poyo-ness nonetheless. heh.

ok. now again. we came back here on saturday. i worked on the rest of the days (except the Public Holidays) catched up with some undone(s) and tidied up some other stuff for next year. as if a good preparation for new year lah konon2 eh. but i like it this way. i love to envision myself for a fresh start for new year. konon2 la..and the rest (just after first few weeks, as of record) is history.

and as if you all might interested to know again, while i was ‘away’ this past week, i’ve done with “the kite runner”.
*sob sob sob*
gue tangkap lentok la baca buku tu. as i noted in shelfari, it’s a good story-telling but disturbing at the same time.
but it’s quite losing grip towards the ending. nvm lah.
anyway for sure hosseini had put something to sensitive part in my heart, so i hit the counter again the very next day for his second book, “a thousand splendid suns” but taking it off shortly before the 2nd chapter when i decided i should take some time off of heavy stuff.
i heard his second book is a bit lighter, but i think i’d go ease for this year end mood.
yesterday, while browsing for a planner for marka (he asked for one after i brought home dgn poyo-nya show off my new, i’d say bright and hip planner) i stumbled upon Awang Goneng’s “growing up in terengganu” which later found myself at the counter again but without marka’s planner.
*grin*

have i told you, about my great fond of tganu?
i dunno, but a glimpse of tganu, be it physically or illusionally, it never failed to put me beaming. or sengih, at least.
i like to relate myself to my old good days in tganu, growing up past 2 years of my adolescent age.
of sweet yet laborious memories.
of routines yet rebellious ones.

last nite as i described to marka (again, and again) of my fondness for tganu, which i relate, tganu is much like kelantan’s sister. the favourite one.
the one who preserved but open minded at the same time. highly known for its beauty yet humble.
to which he replied (again, and again) the same interest with me.
he recalled his first taste of durian at pasar payang, his little ayam&kucing convo with the chatty kakok, the seller while i did the translation. and he fell in love since then. with durian i mean. not the chatty kakok, fortunately. hihihi.
he encountered juicy abc for the first time, also in terengganu.
hmm..we know we shared the same fondness for tganu, at least. hehe.

(apsal rasa macam panjang je entry ni, qadha lama tak blogging ke)

semalam cuti. at first planned nk bwk Jr pegi followup checkup ngan Paed dia kat pantai, tp marka plak malas. dia dah plan nk gi “menebas”.

he said dah lama aku tak join dia “menebas”. mmg betul pun. dah more than 2 years.
since pregnant dulu, duluuuuu….

pastu semalam tetiba je dia suggested, nak beli kayu baru utk aku.
aiikk..kalau ye pun nak naikkan semangat aku “menebas” balik, takkan la sampai nk kena beli kayu baru kot.
tapi sbb dia beria nk beli kan, takkan la aku refuse kan? kan?
dah org offer. (tp ekceli aku jgk yg bayar). apa2 pun, duitmu duitku jua..so aku lah yg bayar.

so semalam pegi glenmarie, nasib kedai tu bukak. ye lah musim sale pulak tu. tak byk pun discount, 25pc je, ok lah dpd takde langsung.
and dapat lah sebatang kayu baru. kayu no 5.

lantas..(ecececeh) dengan hati berkobar-kobar nk prektis nih, kitorang bergerak ke kelab nk test power aku punya swing. okay lg ke tak, after 2 years.
swing swing swing…abis la jgk 100 bijik bola. berpeloh peloh makcik.
puashati. dah lama tak prektis.

so arini bangun tido, rasa sakit badan semacam. lengan kiri berat semacam. bahu kiri ada sedikit lebam.
berkesan sungguh aku punya swing rupanya semalam. tak sia sia peloh makcik.

mlm semalam dgn nada poyo aku ckp kat marka, “giv me another 5 years, i’m sure i’ll be single player”
muahahaha…member hangin je. rasa terancam kot.
muahahaha…mmg aku poyo. tp depan dia je la, pun.

at our frens’ place, in hulu kelang.

it was the first time visit for Jr, so it was kinda introducing session.
we tot he would be excitedly excited but we were wrong.
he kept to himself and rather scared. normally he wont sit in the stroller, but not yesterday. he refused to come down till end of the ride…., anak teruna ku.

oh btw, i got myself my own spanking new waifai rauter last friday. godek-godek from tht nite, few atempts failed, godek-godek again the day after, so now it’s streaming pretty okay.
at least i dun have to “jamming” my neighbour’s band anymore.

and it’s Hujan also here.

lebih tua dariku
harap sabar menunggu
kepulanganmu ku tunggu

bukan maksudku mendiam
tiada niat menyimpan dendam
hakikatnya rindu yang mendalam
jalan ini kan membantu
hari esok siapa yang tahu
kata ibu dengar sahaja
cerita hanya kita berdua

pagi yang gelap
kini sudah terang
aku adikmu
dan engkau abang
ku amat merindui kamu
pagi yang gelap
kini sudah terang
aku adikmu
dan engkau abang
inginku ulang ke masa dulu

tak akan putus hubungan kita
tarik nafas lega kerna aku tak apa-apa
jalan ini kan membantu
hari esok siapa yang tahu
kata ibu dengar sahaja
cerita hanya kita berdua

hujan di luar sana, dan saya berasa mengantuk di sini…

but my stomach started getting unkind to me.
nope, not while the trip luckily.
but soonest after we reached home last two nights.

i dunno which food has caused this poisoning.
or it could be my body react to tiredness.
whtever, in-out-of-toilet countless times since yesterday.
and voms included.

i’m tired. dehydrated.
but now i’m at office after few ‘generous’ calls.
tht’s what a kuli for, izzit?

am back to sleeping mode now.
*delusive*

okay.

so i spilled the surprise to my marka last friday evening.
of the mersing getaway. (kononnya)

little did i know, he spared another surprise for me too.
but tht one is short-noticed.

we are going to j@kart@, tis week.
bcos he must “go-out-of-the-country” at least for a day trip.
(tis visa thingy is a mess. the family visa shud be released soon but the current stay is about to expire now)
hence the unplanned trip.

it’s just 3 days stay anyway.
i’d prefer b@ndung, but it doesnt appealing much to marka whteva the agenda.
we’ll just need to be there, spend some time meet up his frens overthere and come back later.
(see, shopping doing is not his concern)

i just hope it’s gonna be a smooth trip, three of us.
we concern most about the Jr.
but me, the one who insist to tag him along.
some difficulties to heed, with him along the trip.
but just so u know tht i cannot breathe even a single day without him.
so terpaksa lah.

t was on tivi, a local programme couple of months back.
then i started eyeing tis island.
https://www.journeymalaysia.com/MI_rawa.htm
ooohh…aaaahh….

then it was last two nights (if i’m not mistaken). it was on tivi again but different local jalan-jalan programme.
oooohh…aaaahhh…i cant resist.
tis time they promoted tis budget-inn.
https://www.journeymalaysia.com/citymersingtelukiskandar.htm
oohhh..hatiku tak tahan.

i called them up yesterday for reservation.
it’s full booked for tis coming weekend and after.
(obviously, it’s dipavaL1 in-advance-weekend next week)

so i’ve booked for the week after.
hehe.
but, i haven’t consult my marka yet. how?
takpelah…here’s the proposal from the ‘financial controller’
heh.
