budak garang

hazeem dulu ada jugak org label as degil.
to me he was not stubborn but hard headed --- ada beza ke? bg aku of cos berbeza. sebab hazeem still dgr kata if you reason out with him. bila tak paham tu yang dia buat hal. and tak dinafikan, as a small child, dia ada time yg likes to throw tantrum.and bila aku compare dia ngan anak2 org lain, aku rasa hazeem ni ada beza dia.

and now it shows, bila dia senang disuruh buat housechores. well, sometimes he complains but lepas tu dia buat. ada time dia malas sgt, i let him off the hook.

hazeem, tolong tgk adik jap...
wpun tgk nya 5-10 min, lepas tu dia lupa tugasan dia :-)

hazeem, tolong amikkan tisu
kena jugak panggil 2-3 kali, lepas tu dia bingkas bangun amik tisu.

hazeem, kemas toys ni
ini part payah skit tapi setelah digertak skrg dia dah paham (kalau tak kemas semua yg bersepah ni mama bg kat budak2 lain yg pandai kemas mainan)

hazeem, bagi toys tu kat harith. kesian dia nangis...
dengan hati berat terpaksa dia kasi kat adik dia, tp muka ada satu macam la.

hazeem, go to sleep
ini arahan yg paling susaaaaaah nak execute
hazeem tak leh tutup mata la
hazeem rasa mcm susah la
mama bising la
harith kacau hazeem la
hazeem sakit perut nak berak
etc etc etc....

itu cerita hazeem.
yang garang tu sapa?

ha... pakcik kecik lagi sorg tu sangat garang.
ini lagi hard headed. lagi obvious that he has a mind of his own.

bila nak susu, dia akan ajak gi dapur (sambil menarik tangan aku ke dapur), then bila di dapur, jari2 kecik tu akan pin point bekas susu (indicating sila la amik susu tu masuk botol), then dia akan point ke thermos air panas, lepas tu ke balang air masak suam. lepas tu dia suruh goncang.
senang je kan? senang...

tapi cuba la kalau aku punya action, termiss satu step or terlajak satu step daripada arahan jarinya tu, maka mengamuk la member. seraya menjerit2 dan meneran kemarahan. sampai la aku reverse balik ke step yg dia suruh time tu.

haaa.... tu dia.

lepas tu, dia ni dlm mind ada je benda yg dia nak buat, IN HIS OWN WAY. dah la tak pandai cakap lagi... tapi suka memberi arahan2 yang aku tak paham. lepas tu, perang dunia la! ---hahahhah!!!

apa2 pun, harith dia pandai berpolitik. bila dia nak apa2 dia akan buat suara manja dan memanggil, 'ammmaaa....' sambil mata dikedip2kan (politik gitu...)

dan dia suka bersalam bila baru berjumpa sesapa sahaja.
dia pun ingat sebelum makan kena baca doa. sebab kami pun selalu lupa, cukup takat bismillah (kuikuikui...)

itu la anak2 aku. dua-dua pak lawak, yg bukan2 lawaknya kadang2...

also, yg selalu memeningkan kepala. bukan sebab nakal yg extreme, tapi kdg2 aku n hubby yg expect too much from them. kdg2 sebab nak meet org lain nya expectations. which is wrong. as long as anak kita behave, let them be themselves. kdg2 org nya expectation is too much for kids to handle.

so, i love them both. and another boy coming up. ntah apa la kerenah yg lagi satu ni. eheheh... hope as smart and as wonderful as his older brothers :-)

i dream of Genie

just want to share about this Genie, bukan magic genie tu, but this Genie is as magical as that genie but not really a genie (konpius daaa...)

ok, dolu2 aku ada guna product ni which aku beli from an MLM co, skrg co tu dah katup and new management took over and they continue selling several products that are very good. one of the products is this Genie. skrg Genie is being sold under new company Avita. yup, if any of you read the newspaper or saw it on the news, you will found out about avita baru2 ni launched a new business venture with dato siti nurhaliza in indonesia. she fell in love with another product, an anti-aging cum health product, celergen. also a marvellous product...tapi aku lom mampu nak guna :D

back to Genie.
nape aku nak promote Genie ni.

la ni i am not that active in the business, mostly beli utk kengkawan and diri sendiri and family members.
this Genie is very good esp utk org yg ada anak2 kecik or sapa2 sakit yg ada open wound kat umah.

let me give few situations which i used this excellently: -
1. my niece jatuh kat playground, tergigit lidah sendiri and she was bleeding everywhere, we sprayed this into her mouth, it helps to stop the bleeding fast enough. masa sampai ampang putri dah takde bleeding, sampai doktor (doktor tu pun ada bangang gak) cam tuduh kitorg trauma imagine yg bukan2...

2. hazeem jatuh kat KLCC, bibir pecah, we sprayed this, within minutes, he stopped bleeding.

3. hubby pegi memburu and kena lintah kat perut. he removed the lintah and immediately bled, cepat2 dia spray Genie and he can see it stopped the bleeding in seconds. as if ada satu protective layer yg tolong cover bleeding tu.

4. a danish friend, jatuh masa hiking. lutut pecah. while waiting for the heli (yes, helicopter) to come and rescue her, she sprayed genie. by the time sampai spital, the wound was not that bad and it helped the doctor as well.

well...benda ni bukan saje first aid kit.

if anak2 gue muntah dalam kereta, esp., the smell could be unbearable, tapi bila dah dilap and cuci, spray some genie and bau takde.

it can also acts as disinfectant.

another good thing is that genie ni ada Green Label from Singapore. meaning, takde chemical. so it is very safe for us human beings, alien of sort aku tak sure :D

so, aku sangat suka.
and i will make sure ada satu dlm rumah and travelling must also bring. in case....

if anybody interested, you can personally let me know, or msg me here.

sekian, terima kasih :-)

to love or to hate

thx to 

sometimes it is easier to not being in love with anybody or anything.
not being in love lets you loose off any responsibilities, expectations, hopes that come with it.
not being in love will not make you frustrated.
not being in love will not let you down.
not being in love will let you live as you wish.

how i wish that is what i would love to be in.

cos sometimes you just wish you are in love and being loved.
to know there is someone you care.
to know there is someone who gives meaning to your empty life.
to know that you are not alone.

but sometimes the heartache is unbearable.

but that is the price you have to pay.





for being so foolish cos you want to be in love!

duhhhh....

Leslie Nielsen dies at 84

sapa tak kenal Leslie Nielsen.

he acted in several comedy. mudah nak cakap most cerita dia berunsur lawak2 'org tua' ehehhe...lawak lucah skit. err... lucah byk gaks.

salah satu yg famous is Naked Gun. ada lak sequel Naked Gun 33 1/3, Naked Gun 4 1/4 --- eheheh...

he died on Sunday at the age of 84. COD pneumonia. i think it is quite common for an elderly to die of pneumonia of sort. maybe sebab lungs diorg dah tak kuat kot...

you can read more on Yahoo! linked.

atas bawah depan belakang

the latest check-up with my gynea was quite a big joke to me :D

since last week, aku duk suffer from buasir and the situation was soooo annoying and irritating and painful. aku takde pun having problem buang air besar, so it was quite a question mark why i had piles...

so, masa jumpa gynea tu, aku story la prob aku. dia kata maybe sebab muscle perut tak kuat (due to c-sect last time) so baby menekan pressure ke bawah. thus explaining sakit pinggang and buasir tu. varicose vein.

varicose vein ni sama macam if sapa2 penah tgk urat timbul di kaki... kaler biru2 gitu... circulation tak berapa betul. you can read more dlm wikipedia ni...link.

so instead of jadi kat kaki, aku nya jadi kat bont** lalu ba-wau-alif-sin-ya-ro! doc pun bagi satu ubat masuk mulut satu lagi ubat masuk bawah.


pastu lagi satu prob yg baru aku dpt is 'discharge'. and this discharge agak gatal and also annoying.
doc kata that is normal for a pregnant lady. so dpt la lagi satu ubat...pun masuk bawah.

doktor tu siap gelakkan kan aku ---kita perempuan ni 'mulut' byk nau... atas utk makan...pastu bawah lak utk benda2 kuar (hahaha...!!! ---hah, pikir apa tu???)

jadi hari2 byk la ubat aku kena makan. alhamdulillah...kenyang (hahaha!!)

and aku also notice, sakit tu jadi teruk if aku kurang baring or duduk. lepas tu ready la, nak tido pun takleh. torture...dugaan. moga2 terhapus dosa2 aku (aminnnnnn...)

what to expect?

since day one aku pregnant, i have a feeling anak dalam perut ni macam ada gaya2 boy...sebab ciri2 nya sama je macam time pregnant hazeem and harith.

mabuk takde, alhamdulillah...
tapi asyik nak tido je...just that kali ni nak tido susah sebab kena jaga harith yang payah nak tido siang.
emo? toksah cakap la. memang up and down macam rollercoaster!

makan tak berapa nak lalu. nasi aku cuma lalu makan tomyam.
if lauk pauk ada santan cam masak lomak cili api ko, memang loyo rasanya (sorry, bang)
sebab tu masa cek-up semalam berat aku cuma naik 2kg selepas almost 5months pregnant. nasib baik baby growth ok.
lagi satu aku mengidam nak makan saikrop yakni hotdog siam. ehem, halal ok. order sama sedara mara di thailand. jarang org malaysia suka mendelah ni. sebab bau nya--- masyaallah! hahahah... it is an acquired taste. hotdog siam ni, perut lembu dikeringkan. lepas tu disumbat ngan nasi yang digaul dengan daging hancur, garam and some cuka kot. disalai and keringkan. nak makan baru digoreng. kasik garing baru la tak berbau busuk. makanan peram. bau pun peram le hehehhe... dalam family, aku sorang je leh makan benda ni beriya2. dan ada beberapa kerabat di kelantan :D

berbalik kepada cerita pregnant tadi.

semalam buat scan, doktor gelakkan aku sebab anak dalam perut ni nampak gaya lengkap ber'pistol'!
hahahahha!!! it was a dream come true utk hubby aku.

my reaction? mana2 pun ok je.

hazeem nya reaction?
parah la mama lepas ni, kena tangkap boy lagi. parah la hazeem kena tolong mama kejar adik. parah la abah... (aku pun tak tau apa yg parah sangat hehehhe...)

harith?
seperti biasa, kagum tgk gambar scan tu.

hmm...another boy.
apa nama nak kasik lagi ni?
amir hussein?
amir hamzah?
amir hazran?

lama lagi nak pikir...eheheh....

the little guy who always make me smile

...apart from my little sons...of course!

always adore this guy... memangggg notorious.

i took this from here.

outburst and pregnancy

semalam aku kecik ati (lebih kepada mengada2 sebenarnya) dengan mr hubby.

being pregnant ni could turn you into a person you would never thought you could be...

i could still remember masa aku pregnant-kan si hazeem. mr hubby sent me to office cos i was in my ninth month, so he wouldnt let me drive. masa balik tu, i had to take LRT to jelatek cos masa tu aku baru balik from my building inspection (one of my 'adventure' being a working mom). aku janji tunggu kat LRT around 6, rasanya... and mr hubby the excellence reached the station 10mins late --- yes, you read correctly --- 10MINS late and the moment i saw the car, i jumped in the car and started crying. poor that guy, he thought i was in pain or something bad happen. yes, bad enough he was late! 10 mins late! ----ridiculous?? that was what he said, and skrg bila pikir2 balik, mmg terserlah ke-bangangan-nya :)

masa harith lak, aku kurang skit acara2 pendek akal ni. but i was in a slump mode.... and i covered my downwards moment by sleeping MOST of the time in my bedroom. poor hazeem had to play by himself and lucky me my maid was very caring of him. yup, aku boleh kira time aku di luar dari bilik tidur.... my bedroom was my salvation room ---sigh...

this time?

aku dah lama tak amik maid.
so aku rasa sangat penat sebab whenever aku down, i had to put a strong face.
whenever aku sakit, i had to swallow the pain.
whenever aku mengantuk or too tired, i had to just lie anywhere i could and shut my eye for just like a minute or 5.
cos harith needs me.
hazeem needs me to teach him and guide him with his revision.

nak tidur masa diorg tidur? i wonder when did i actually get that wonderful opportunity, cos hazeem and harith hardly could sleep when they are together.
malam?
TIDUR for a pregnant lady like me, sometimes mean a luxury, sebab kdg2 bila dapat time tidur, badan pulak rasa tak mau tidur. sakit sana sini.
if makan lambat, mula la gastrik.
ada aku cerita pasal buasir??
better not start with that....

so, semalam aku outburst.
i reached my limit for this first 4 months.
aku tak membebel.
aku tak marah2.
masa mr hubby was driving, i just put my head on his shoulder and cry as much as i could.
i didnt say anything.
i didnt mutter a word.
i just cried.
he just kept his silence, maybe understood that i need to let it go, but not understanding why --- better off that way than him trying to understand lepas tu bergaduh benda lain pulak.

nak jadikan cerita lagi hindustan-ala-mode, it was raining, at night, with the radio playing love musics on lite fm. perghhh...gile hindustan! (hahahhah!!!)

well, that is women, i guess.

we dont need much words, just simple caring touch to indicates you will be there in good or worse --- more than enough.
a bankload of $$ also could do the trick, but since my love is still sincere and pure, a simple hug would do the trick (wink wink....)

siap sedia

sekarang dah bulan sablas.

next month will be december.

then the next one will be january aledi....

since hari tu kami dah kumpul duit skit2 nak beli persiapan sekolah Amir Hazeem.
baju sekolah
kasut sekolah
beg sekolah
buku sekolah

pastu nak cek alatulis lengkap tak

kena lak make sure
dia dah pandai kira duit ke belum
dah lancar membaca
jawi
arab...

perghhh... mcm aku lak nk sekolah hahaaaa!!!

thx to

i was happy

this was me

ehem ehem years ago....

i was a happy child

living with the love of everybody and with the care of my grandparents

always had a 'sibling' rival fights with my youngest uncle

whom i used to call 'gemuk'

and he would also call me names (P&C -of course)

i was happy

maybe that is why i could still remember certain things from my baby moments

mysteriously,

i could remember who took this picture

who was behind the camera

and who made such a hooha effort to make me smile

i wonder how...

i was happy

but why certain things after that i couldnt remember even simple things

why?

did my mind choose what to remember?

or happy thoughts just linger in your mind for as long as you want?

why?

i still remember certain things

things long time ago 

now even things that just happen -what happen? when?

why?

i was happy

i could still remember pranks and jokes i made to grandma, granddad and even great grandma

it was priceless and damn funny!

i was happy

but i could also remember bits and pieces of my teenage years

where i would find solitude and peace surrounded with my beloved cats 

who understood me when i was happy

when i was sad

when i was down

when i felt frustrated

i wonder how cats' minds work?

i think they were happy too

well

i was happy

and now happiness exists in my life

with me loving my husband

loving my kids

they who love me back

unconditionally

despite occasionally they talked back (wont happen if they are cats)

and occasionally they seems lost for awhile

seems a way from you

but not for long

they will know when i was sad

when i was down

when i became frustrated

they just know

even to just be there for me

and i will be happy again

like i was a happy child....

mak ketam dan anaknya

hari tu cikgu tadika hazeem minta mama hazeem ni tolong kuatkan knowledge hazeem on his fardhu ain, dengan kasik a bit more teaching (additional kiranya) kat rumah. so she gave me a book for hazeem wat balik and revise kat rumah, with my supervision, of course.

dengan semangat berkobar2 and a bit of panic....the first day tu, aku panggil hazeem duk kat meja. aku pun bukak la buku fardhu ain tuh...

wah, tulis jawi.... bahasa arab pun ada....

fyi, aku memang takde background bahasa arab. aku just tau, shukran! shukran! ya rahmah!

lelain sorry.... aku memang tak arif.

so... first page.
      rukun iman 6 perkara... (hmmm...not bad la, aku still leh baca benda ni)

so aku pun ajar dia buat revision, under perhatian dan pertolongan aku. teknik menulis number kot arab semua. cukup utk first day.

masuk 2nd day.
hmm...cam byk je... sifat 20

ok... ini ada lagu ni. aku pun menyanyi dulu sorang... Allahu wujud qidam baqa... mukhalafatuhu lilhawadis...
lepas tu aku dah tergagap2 (AISEHHHH....)

hazeem dah datang duduk kat meja, ready for his next revision class.

ok...hazeem tulis ni nombor 20. tulis kasi penuh semua kotak, sampai habis.
ok mama...


dah abis. next...
(errr...part next ni aku tak berapa sure ni)

yang ni, hazeem tunggu abah la. dia kata nak ajar hazeem semalam (perghh.h..kelentong...)

semalam aku  terlupa nak google, so hari ni  sesudah subuh aku google Sifat 20.

ha...sekarang dah  hafal and faham :-)

moral. sendiri mau ingat la ......


heehehhe...

aduhaiii

Hari ini agak....

thx to

bosan..... 

maybe too tired but couldnt get proper sleep

ke sebab nak keluar tapi susah sebab anak dah makin menonjol ke'hero'an nya

ke sebab duit takdak

ke sebab bosan tengok benda biasa je day after day after day

ke sebab takde citer best dalam astro?

???

kami dah lama tak update sebab ...

last weekend agak bz sebab ada family day for my hubby's co in port dickson. so kena prepare budak2 ni... lepas tu, tambah lak ngan simptom malas disebabkan pregnant (alasann....)

this was our first time joining the company's family day.

sampai2 je ngap breakfast jap, but aku tak makan sebab dah bantai nasi lomak kat umah. then off to the beach for treasure hunt and kids telematch.

hazeem berbaju belang biru.

lepas tu, free and easy...more like sleep time. nasib baik budak2 ni tidur petang tu. kalau tak pitam makcik nak layan budak2 yang kurang rehat ni.


last year ada dinner bertemakan movies blockbuster. laki aku kena group theme puteri gunung ledang.

so this year the theme was Let The Music Saves Your Soul.... and hubby's group theme was errr...music from all over the world. and he had to sing lagu isabella with three of his partners in crime, so dress up ala ala awie and amy search gitu. the kids lak join his father wearing keys on their heads and aku just pakai jeket yg dah lama aku tak pakai. couldnt fit tummy into my jeans, so kena pakai slack pregnant kaler itam ehehhe....

 three mouseketeers.... budak2 tak payah jeket sebab panas (cehhh...)

 harith yang bersetuju utk memakai key di kepala selepas tgk abg and abah dia pakai sama.... tapi lepas sejam dia terasa gatal2 kulit kepala hahahah....

 this is fara ngan her 2 lovely daughters... wife to my hubby's close colleague.

 aku struggling to make harith to take picture with me. masa ni dia tgh ghairah nak makan gula2 kat atas meja.

 ni show pertama, if i'm not mistaken. lagu korea tu...aku lupa apa nama group. btw, ini bukan group hubby aku :)

 second show...ala ala pop yeh yeh...

 hubby's group. the first part the ladies performed a dance which aku lupa apa lagu dia, so sorry sebab concentration aku berbelah bahagi ngan nak makan dinner and nak tgk show and nak locate mana anak2 jantan aku menghilang....

 yeahhh...tu dia, isabella adalah.....
4 vocalists and a guitarist.

 masuk chorus lak. hehehe...frankly, they have good voice. laki aku mmg suara power, tapi dia dah lama tak guna suara dia sebab sibuk nau kerje...

 ini lak kat muzium askar di PD. dulu kat KL dah pindah semua kat PD. so it was like a dream for hazeem to be able to tgk real life tankers, fighter jets, war tunnels and gadgets.

 ni macam train dalam citer sarjan hasan. eheheh...actually, kitorg tak tau train ni apa cerita sebab takde signboard.

 motor zaman perang. made in italy.
biker zaman sekarang, made in lembah klang :-)

 then, ada lak tunnel Pakatan Komunis Malaya....

 dalam tunnel agak spooky...actually aku dah meremang bulu roma and i am sure hazeem and harith pun dah rasa lain macam sebab diorg dah start senyap je...ehehhe. pastu masa ni lak si suami sibuk nak amik gambar itu ini...

 in the tunnel, komunis tgh meeting....

 right outside the tunnel, ada this huge aeroplane. just right next to it, the museum tgh wat some upgrading works.

 last pose.

aku time ni kaki dah berdenyut denyut sebab pakai kasut baru yang aku beli sebab kononnya nak kasut flat tapi sebab budget takde beli kasut murah lepas tu tak best sebab dah biasa pakai leather bila pakai pumps yg tak flexi ni kaki aku sangat sakit. darah dah byk berkumpul kat kaki tapi kasut still 'maintain' the same saiz.....banzaiiiiii!!!

amalan2 yang bagus

aku baru belajar semalam...

if kita nak murah rezeki, sentiasa lah ucapkan "Ya Fatah, Ya Wahab" sebanyak 300 kali sehari... insyaallah, allah akan murahkan rezeki kita dalam apa bentuk pun :-)

pastu,if ada sesapa yang rasa2 cam nak kena marah, samada dengan isteri atau suami atau bos atau sesapa sahaja (wink wink...!) bacalah "subhanallahhawabihamdih" berkali kali hingga rasa2nya kita terlepas saat2 kena marah tu, insyaallah. tapi jangan lak gi baca terkumat kamit pastu bantai lak sembur depan muka bos ke --- itu cari nahas! ehehhehe....

ini along hubby aku ajar semalam sambil2 berborak pasal perubatan islam. yes, kami semua ada saka sikit sorang (huhuhuhuh....) hasil turun temurun dari belah aku dan jugak laki aku. pastu dalam family aku yang berat sikit... ada antara kami yang ada jin! ini tak tipu, masa ustaz tu tengak bacakan ayat Quran kat air mineral tu, ada family member yang lain macam, ruparupanya dia rasa cam nak bertempik sakit, tak tahan dengar ustaz tu membaca ayat2 tu. orang lain takde cenggitu pun....

so, lepas mandi air tu, badan sakit2 dan lebam2 macam kena pukul.

jin ni memang wujud. and dia memang suka nak duduk ngan manusia ni. bila satu dah ada dlm badan, dia akan panggil kawan2 datang 'melawat' gak. sebab tu, sapa2 yang ada jin dalam badan, sure malas nak buat amal ibadat, sbb jin tu dah duduk dalam urat and sendi kita. so, kena la kuat kan diri melawan and if ada rezeki, pergi la berubat.

banyak lagi yang aku belajar hasil dari berborak tu...

tapi nanti la chapter lain aku cerita... sebab sekarang nasi ayam dah menunggu.... nyum nyum

as for me, aku memang interested with these kind of topics.

aku membesar cara agak lain dari budak lain. and my hubby pun membesar with a father who tends to lose his temper easily. tapi, nobody to be blamed sebab semua orang mangsa keadaan. sekarang keadaan dah lain. parents have to be more involved with their kids, sebab budak2 sekarang lagi expose to outside influence. from school, online friends, chatting, etc. kalau dulu, if kena marah ke, nak merajuk pun takleh panjang2...nanti kena marah lagi. so, nak tak nak kena la pujuk diri sendiri.

and apa yang aku perasan, bila membesar dengan environment sedemikian, once you grew up, you become a person with low self-confidence. apa nak buat mesti ragu2 sebab takut if silap nanti orang marah. if silap nanti kita akan kecewakan parents ke... if silap nanti people would label you failure etc etc.
lepas tu, nak try something new pun tak yakin. takut. takut dengan macam2. rasa diri ni macam tak layak nak try.

aku tak nak anak2 aku membesar begitu, just in case aku terbawak2 perangai aku dekat anak2.

so, reading zaid mohamad's articles help a lot for me and hubby in understanding our kids' behaviour. and alhamdulillah, so far hazeem pun sekolah tadika with a good teacher. she always remind us to always be careful on our words in teaching hazeem, and she always try to increase hazeem's self confidence in his daily classes. aku pun nampak hazeem ada positive improvement.

sayang anak la kata kan.... jangan lupa ajaran agama juga...sebab dunia ni semuanya sementara. aku dulu pun pernah lalai...skrg pun ada gak time yg leka... so mari la train anak2 supaya jadi hamba Allah yang berjaya dunia dan akhirat :-)

amin....

rumah too expensive utk org berpendapatan sederhana?

FIL aku suka beli NST, aku pulak suka STAR sebab iklan banyak and adik ipar aku suka METRO sebab banyak gosip :D hubby aku tak kisah sebab kadang2 dia tak sempat baca pun, MIL aku pun suka NST rasanya sebab dia kena la beli apa paper lak dia baca.

mak aku suka semua, so kalau weekend akan ada banyaaaaak paper kat living hall tu. abah aku lak maleh nak baca paper dia lagi prefer tgk astro, layan movie lagi bagus, alang2 nak layan wayang kan, daripada baca 'wayang' dalam paper dia tgk wayang terus. tp kadang2 if ada berita besar2 dia baca la... :-p

so, apa cerita dlm NST semalam yang menarik perhatian aku?

HOUSES TOO EXPENSIVE FOR AVERAGE MALAYSIAN

how expensive is too expensive?
who are the average malaysians?

yang aku teruja sangat was that aku and hubby has been looking for a house dah lama dah. dah lama la jugak sampai hazeem pun nak masuk darjah 1 ---hahhaha...!!!

partly to blame is our instability of income. aku quit lepas anak umur 2 tahun. so hubby only got better paid job last 2 years. so within that last 2 years kami baru nak adjust our income with our outstanding debts... ye la... ini kalau nak cerita kena masuk bab lain lak. memang gaji dia sorang tak cukup, and aku ada few options... to work or not to work.

kerja balik?
aku tak sanggup losing my time flexibility. masa aku kerja dulu, if anak sakit ke nak amik cuti skit punya berkira, sedangkan aku still ada cuti. lepas tu gaji tak le banyak nau, wpun company tu company international. so, if aku kerja, i have to bear expenses on travelling makan socialising etc etc. so, aku opt for working from home. cuma aku lom jumpa the one yang aku leh stick on to.

berbalik kepada topic NST tu tadi.

middle income group ni ada 3 jenis: -

lower-middle iaitu sapa2 saje bergaji rm1500-2000

mid-middle jatuh kepada sesapa bergaji rm2,001-4000

upper-middle plak category orang yang bertuah utk dapat gaji rm4,001-6000.

sesapa yang lagi banyak tuah dan bergaji lebih dari yang disebut di atas, anda tidak tergolong dalam middle income ya.

so, apa masalah skrg?
according to experts (as stated dlm paper tu) what the middle income group deemed as affordable would be a double storey house priced at rm180k-200k in KL.

hmmm... cuba sapa2 bgtau, dalam kl ni, ada ke rumah double storey berharga sedemikian?

MIL aku duduk di keramat area.
a renovated single storey was sold at rm350,000.
a corner double storey low cost was sold at rm350,000 ---which aku rasa ni harga tanah je sebab rumah tu tersangat lah rundown and as soon as orang tu beli, he immediately robohkan everything and build from scratch.
a semi-d valued at around rm750k-800k.
houses within ukay perdana, yang keluar masuk cuma satu point je, double storey paling murah pun rm400k.
apartment and condos??
a basic apartment kat kemensah sold around RM160k-180k, sized 950sf.
if besar skit  boleh la dapat dalam rm240k-260k...better design with balcony, atleast you have a place to sidai baju, betul tak?
melawati area is about the same.
and new housing schemes lagi la toksa cerita.... i dont know why or is there nobody could control kenapa new housing projects ni semua project mahal2. yang beli pun geng2 sama je. geng2 mcm kami yang belum berumah ni camno? kalau beli rumah jauh kos travelling la plak dah. hitung pukal last2 sama je kos dia...

if nak murah skit pun area keramat AU2 ke, tempat ada kawasan kilang. tak byk sgt, ok la...tapi if you are lucky, you'll find a house to be sold. kalau tak susah.

skrg ni, kami tawakal je whether dapat rumah ke tak.
memang kami still mencari. budget kami tak banyak but mana tau ada rezki kan? sebab yang bagi rezki tu Allah, dan moga2 Dia membantu kami.
nak beli yang jauh dari KL, MIL kat keramat, parents sendiri KL centre.  pastu hubby kerja KL, anak sekolah private kat jalan enggang, keramat. so?

continue je la pencarian....

Galas oh Galas...

i wonder what would be the result of today polling event in Galas and Batu Sapi....?

why oh why bila ada by-election ke...bigger election ke... musti ada orang bergaduh? musti kah? musti kah berteriak teriak? to a certain extent, it may looks uncivilised. but who are we to argue...

all the best to the local voters.

may Allah guide you all the way :-)



curious toknow more? read and self-interpret here... :D

what is your priority?

i just watched the movie 2012. i dont like the feelings that lingers after that...
maybe that is the reason why i do not like watching movies of such ---end of the world, end of days, etc etc etc.

so, after watching it (had to cos astro got nothing better ---as usual), i had this thoughts coming to me.
if a natural disasters like that were to happen to us, what would be our priority? of course, as a muslim, i believe kiamat is inevitable.so that would be too late.

but, kalau relatively smaller disaster (than kiamat itself), apa tindakan kita?

me? what would i do?
who would i save?
what would i bring?
where would i go?

anak2 always with me, for now... but i still need my husband to be with me. would he be able to reach home on time?
who else would i take with me?
in laws? i guess so since i am living with them...or who knows, they will be the one who save me and the kids.
my parents? would i even have the time to even call them and warn them? or could be reach them on time to save them? my mom is working, my sister is working...my other sister in japan, my brother is in melaka. sempat ke nak save everybody?
but i guess the ones that i would hold firmly in my grasps would be my two sons... and i really hope my huband is there to help and hold us.

scary?
people are facing natural disasters all over the world, and malaysia is still very lucky.
Allah still love us, until when? ...that is for us to decide. i hope kita tak hilang arah, nauzubillah....

steamboat & BBQ

last 2 weeks, kami makan free. along and family belanja kami ramai2 makan di Kampong Stimbot & BBQ Bufet di Setiawangsa. Dia belanja sempena birthday Little Husna, yang sebaya ngan Hazeem.

Akibat terlalu kagum melihat banyak sungguh choice di table buffet dia, aku lupa nak amik gambo...tambahan pulak perut dah lapo sangat (ini alasan sebenarnya....)

meh tgk gambo yg sempat den amik dulu..

 ini alat memasak. kalau terlalu rakus dan ghairah, boleh mengakibatkan kecelakaan (hahahhah!!!) betul, kena careful skit sebab hotplate bila diletakkan benda basah, maka terperciklah api2 asmara (eh merepek!!!) maksud aku terpercik air panas kat muka paling tak pun kat baju.

kat tengah tu air rebusan steambot.

 yang nyatanya aku tidaklah makan kerang je, aku dah bantai ayam, daging, sotong, ikan, fishball, mee goreng, nasi goreng, udang, sayur (rasanya ini aku tak makan) --- dan byk lagi...

lepas tu ada kueh mueh, tapi aku wat2 tak nampak sebab aku nampak eskrim. belasah lak eskrim.

oh, diorg pun ada byk choice of sauces, sos pedas, tak pedas, masam, manis, hitam, merah....pilih je ikut selera.

ayam n daging dia lak dah marinated ada black pepper, chilli, err...lupa la apa lagi. tapi sedap la.

kat mana exactly?

nasib si senyum

apala nasib...

aku tgk dia dah jadik gini...
masa aku tinggalkan elok je in one piece. aku rasa harith gatal gusi...lalu dilepaskan kat si senyum ni.

tapi, dalam keadaan parah, masih ada sisa senyuman.

i cant smile without you

i cant laugh and i cant sing

i find it hard to do anything

check-up

last saturday i went for my scheduled pregnancy check-up with Dr Seri Suniza (Prince Court)

she asked, is everything ok?

i said, good. but i always have this lower tummy cramp and the most irritating lower back pain. is that normal?

then she said, dear, that is normal especially for a person who had a c-sect delivery previously. what happen was, bila we cut your perut (ayoyooo...) we actually tear up you stomach muscle in order to get to your womb (AYOYOOO...). yes, it sounds horrific but that was what happened ---she said jovially ---hahahaha!!!

aduiiiyaiii....

then she added, you actually should do some stomach exercises to strengthen your tummy's muscle before conceive ------

---i wonder why i wasnt told before? ke org tak berapa know about this? aiseyman!

tengok muka kelat aku, she said some more, no worries, it is not a problem to your baby, but it will be a problem to you :-) (how comforting...) especially when you still have to carry this small guy here (and she pinched harith on his cheek)...

and then she looked at Mr Hubby, you will be getting a lot of complaints from her later cos she will be having terrible time handling her pains. Hah, i wasnt sure how much of that goes into his head :D

later she gave me Obimin, calcium and neurogain supplements...

obimin for iron
calcium for err...calcium obviously
and neurogain for baby's brain development.

and she added, kalau rasa appetite mcm naik mendadak...you can skip obimin :)


so i googled i found this, hope it is useful for my lower back pain. cos the weak muscle of my stomach, it cant handle the gaining weight of my expanding tummy, so yang suffer would be the back muscle dan otot bawah perut...

(aiseh...takleh link lak...haaa tgk la kat youtube and this is the link add...)
