Report : Day 1

or is it day 2?...

Well, today I would like to share with the world a report on my progress on my new age resolution. Hehe...(we'll see how istiqamah I would be in keeping this up)

Anyways...

Yesterday, I was given a pleasant surprise when my grandmother and my uncle mokhtar (my mum's mother and brother respectively) dropped by for a visit. It was good seeing her as I have meant to go Muar several times, and somehow, often had to cancel last minute. My grandmother seemed well for a 92-year-old woman. However, she does misremember few important information from time to time. Takperlah... janji sihat.

When they headed back to Muar, the Fared clan hurriedly got ready for a shopping trip to Nilai. Nope, the trip wasn't for me, but it was for Mr. hubby who wanted to survey several cokking and storing equipment for his new eaterie which hopefully operate after the Eid..

Back to the report.

Since we came back from Nilai after Maghrib (empty-handed... tak caya kan??), I couldn't keep up with my resolution to do clean ups at nite. 

But... tonite, I was able to do almost everything from cleaning the toilet to macam2lah, with the exception of mopping the floors. But I did bring the pail up... So hopefully, that will be done too after blogging. So, tomorrow I would be able to clean the porch, garage... ironing and be off to Seremban with the kids for a 'joli' good time. Haha... So, one resolution was met today.

About refraining my temper and voice from escalating the Richter scale,... hmmm.... it wasn't much of a success. I did manage to kept mums several times to Farhan and Khadijah, but my voice simply went up when it comes to Farah. Sigh... My only excuse is that, this old 'dog' needs time to learn new tricks. I shall not give up, instead strive for the betterment in the days to come. InsyaAllah.

So, that is about all about resolutions and what nots. Till then...

My new age resolutions... at the age of 35

1. Try very and extremely hard to work on my health. Hence, I will watch what I eat, consume more spirulina or other supplements, and exercise. If I don't have the time for a jog, I will pocho-pocho and chicken dance with the kids. I'm sure the girls would love it, especially Farah over the Chicken Dance. I am doing this not because of the size factor, but, family and mind factor. I was inspired by a friend's blog http://www.onebreastbouncing.blogspot.com/ who had fought cancer for seven years. She passed away last Monday, just two days before her 40th birthday. As we share the same birthdate, it hit me right at the nerve. It is like a signal, a beacon... a reminder that it is never too late for anything..

Candle Blowing and coming of age

It was another mark on my age year yesterday.

How do I feel?

Ntahler.... How do you feel when you get older yet not wiser?

Onebreastbouncing

One weird title for an entry yea...

The reason. I was introduced to a blog site of a breast cancer patient. She wrote on her treatment, her pain, survival as she was diagnosed with more than a cancer. But what she wrote about her family had tears streaming down my cheeks. And she passed away this morning after holding her forte for 7 years.

I can't imagine how my life would be if we were to trade places. Emotionally, financially. She was very strong and optimistic of her condition. She was cheerful too, able to take things down her stride. Her only downside was her 'guilt' to her children. She felt that with her illness, she had robbed her children of ther childhood years. I cried reading her entry. I sure hope that her children would be able to read her entries and understand how much she had loved and cared for them. And this reminded me of my main reason of writing in a blog. I want to share my journey in this world with my loved ones.

I want the world to know how much I love my children, and how much I look forward to coming home each day to them. I may grouch, nag and drop several pinches when the house is uncleaned and things do not fall in order. But darling dearest, Farhan, Khadijah, Farah and Fatin sayang, you have been, and will always be, the epitome of my life. I love you dearest and hope that our journey in this world would always be happy and be hand-in-hand. Thank you for everything...

Gigilku Datang Lagik

Why? Simple... Two reason to it. Reason 1, I had too much durian last nite. I received 3 rather-big size durian from a student. Somehow, I couldn't resist the durian. I made sambal tempoyak, and cooked ikan bilis kicap. A dry dish to complement each lauk. The result, En. Hubby and I finished 2-whole pot of rice. Giler number 1. Then, when the kids were already in their dreamland, again another durian was massacred. The result, aiyooo, my body could not tolerate the heat and is starting to send stress signal. Aiyyooo again.

Reason number 2. Tomorrow, my dearest students would receive their MUET result. They are calm about it, their teacher is in jitters, wondering what awaits her at PPD tomorrow. Grrr...

Sigh! Susah gak jadik cikgu yer...

Maidless in PD

It has been days since my last update. Nope, it's not because that Susi has finally left us for good. Its not because I wake up early nowadays to settle what need to be cleared before leaving for work.. Nope to all of those sorts...

My laptop was the reason why I had long been silenced from the net. I had long to write, especially when unpleasant things occurred in my life.

Instance number 1 was when I blew up to a colleague. Heck, it doesn't feel good to scold someone even though she had given me a headache. Regardless of what people may think, yelling and letting my steam off is not a hobby of mine. And yes, I am not angry because of her promotion or anything. I am just pissed that with few students at hand, she had failed to give me the marks as she was supposed to do. And instead of apologising for her error, she had 'selamba'ly claimed that she was not the only one failing to do so. Haiya... Pleaselah. There are many things that you are not aware of. Don't give faulty reasons. People don't envy you, You are such a lady with so many accomplishments and a lot going on for you. And yes, God is the one who gives wealth, but you must also show you are worthy of such virtue. Friend, if you are reading this piece of writing, I shall not retract any of these words for I want you to understand, you need to change! If the whole world is angry at you, there must be a reason for it. Don't keep saying that we envy you for your promotion. Come on kawanku, think positive. Sigh... Anyways, this also act as a reminder to Hazleen Ahmad that she needs to be on her toes and always keep her work completed so that she would not be a hindrance to anyone. Don't want to be taunted by the saying, pot calling kettle black.

Life Instance No. 2. My lappie had a connection error. Hence, I wasn't able to logged in and accomplished many things that I need to do which has nothing to do with facebook, mail, blogging, etcetera. Agghhh...

Life Instance No. 3. I had trouble setting up ISIS for the form 6. I have been up to my neck since the holidays which made me miss my thrilling shopping spree at Mid Valley. I put on a thick face and spent several hours at a nearby school, seeking their expertise. Alhamdulillah and heart-felt thanx to Kak Norhaslinda and Asmaa, everything went smooth. Pening kepala woi... Even Pn. Tan couldn't lend a hand tau. But alas! My PKF6 told me even they had gotten the grading wrong. Hmmm....

Anymore life instances? Hehehe... Enough for the moment. Life without Susi has been smooth sailing. Alhamdulillah. The house may a little bit less clean. but heck, I'm occay with it. I've pat my back and hope that this streak will be flourished further. May I be bestowed with the gift of consistency and kerajinan and able to make the abode sparkling clean in the future. Aaa... internal only laa. Outside, it lies in the hand of mummy-in-law dearest. Kehkehkeh... belum cukup iman. Cis!
