Happy Birthday Ten

Selamat Hari Jadi.

Yeay...its her birthday today. My dear anak bongsu ,intan payung is a year older today! 

Allow me to walk the corridor of memories , to reminisce of the fond years that we had together with her.

As the youngest child in the family, everyone expected her to be cute, girly , manja,spoilt baby. Hey nahh. To our surprise she was the stark opposite.

From early childhood,she was independent,a natural leader, emphatic and cikli's little helper as well as her brother's little keeper.

'Ma. janganlah marah abang. Abang study lah. Mama selalu ingat abang main saja'. One day she reprimanded me for scolding her brother. I was a stern mother with regards to education. 

In school she developed her leading skill further. A head girl and outstanding merit was her crowning glory. 

I envisaged her to take law. But she was more into education. So off she went to Brisbane among list A students. And wasnt I proud that she was among those given merit in practical teaching during her grad.

Well... thank you Allah for all those achievements.

And I was more than thankful seeing her being friendly, affable, effervescent capable young teacher. 

Today, a mother of two bubbly boys, my deepest doa goes to her.

Semoga anak mama di limpahi rahmat,kasih sayang, kesihatan, agama dalam kehidupan di dunia juga di akhirat.

May success be with you always. 

Love you deeply.

Selamat Harijadi Faten

Sanah Helwah dear.

                                                                                                                                                mama.

Nice morning.... people.

 With cikli out of the house early in the morning, I have the house all to myself.

Had the washing on and savoured my usual crispies aka roti 4 sagi with nescafe to wash it down. Life is tranquil as it is.

Ventured into the yard and could see the landscape in the horizon. Charming with yellow hue in the clouds. 

Aha... its a cool morning. Hope it stays that way all through the day.

Hey watcha doing Monkey ?  Said I to my cat in the drain. She was calmly sitting there without much ado about nothing. Happy are you? 

Lately my feral cat ... she was in and out of the house too often to be considered  a domesticated cat has not been herself. 

Thought of doing some light gardening but then I gave up. Haha ...tak boleh borong semua kerja sekarang ni. Satgi nak masuk dapoq. 

However, I hang up the wash to dry in the sun. This cant wait.

Its been a nice morning but I couldnt foresee the evening. It could rain,couldnt it?

This brought me to this.

Selalukan kita berdoa agar semua berjalan lancar ,diarah yang dimaukan. Namun , kita selalu tidak dapat jangka kesudahannya.

Bukan salah kita pun......

Lihat pasangan sejoli ini sejuk mata memandang. Pagi petang kesana kesini berdua. 

Namun kita tidak tau kesudahan mereka. 

buah nya lebat tapi banyak ulat

berbulan madu selalu

Ehh jangan, sebelah rumah se reban ayam dara dok mengintai . Hai hai. 

Bye. Nak masak masak lemak cili api ketam permintaan cikli. See u soon.

Ragam bermacam ragam.......

 When there's much inhibitions, there's limitation.

You are not free as you like to be...... gitulah.

Actually people my age been through a lot of things. We have seen changes. Some for the better and some for the worse.

When I was young and growing, we didnt have gadgets to play. No playground except for the town taman with a few benches and a clock tower. No science centres, educational parks where we could go and learn a thing or two .

But we have freedom... a lot. Little worries but more hanky pankies.

Nature is ours to roam. To experience and to own..haha. Plus  beatings from tokton .

Awat tak kena pelangkung bila berkubang tak kira masa. Main tak kira jantan betina. Habih masuk sampai kebun Cina. Tak tau kotor atau bahaya. Haha.

When I was young and earning, I was aware of the struggles and political challenges Msia went through.From Kapal layar to kati to barisan I had seen a plenty. Now I only wish that young and aspiring politicians  come forward and replace those old and corrupted beings.

Ehhh... tajuk nya Ragam bermacam ragam.Mana pancaragam? Apa yang meragam? 

Ntah... tiba tiba idea lari kelautan . Dalam. Dan tak jumpa jalan pulang.

Life as it is ....

 Terkejut dengar eee ooo eee oooo di jalan depan rumah.

Bergegas selak langsir dan lihat apakehenya.

Ooo  ada orang berbasikal. Ramai ramai.

Lepas satu satu mereka lalu. Ada perlahan ada laju.

Ralit pula melihat mereka lalu......

So... life is back to normal yeah. Dah boleh beraktiviti dan berrekreasi. Dah boleh pi mai sana sini.

Baguslah. Taklah lagi ragu ragu dan tak sedap hati nak pergi membeli atau ambil angin di petang hari. Or even waktu pagi.

My two cucus in KL are already schooling starting March 22. Macam macam ragam kedua kanak kanak seperti yang di update selalu.

Yang satu tadika dan abangnya masuk darjah satu. Macam macam cerita mereka . Ada ada saja.

Cikli masih dengan kelas dialisis walau hari ni hari minggu. No cuti for him. Seawal jam 7 dah masuk kelas mulai hari ini. Balik nanti tentu lesu.

Me? ... as it is. 

Laju otak memikir dari jalan. Hidup penuh ujian. Entah bila nak berkesudahan. Dah suratan. Nak buat macam mana kan.

... cari tukang jahit waktu begini memang tak jumpa. 

...tunggu barang shopee tak dengar kabar berita. Entah ke mana sesatnya

... sakit demam macam macam ada. Sat kaki,sat perut,sat kepala...haha

...dok pikiaq satlagi nak masak apa. 

Bye. Adakala tak puas hati lagi tak curah apa yang terbuku. But life as it is , am not an open book. Some chapters are not for public. 

Hanya doakan semua dipermudahkan.

This is life as it is. 

Seminggu menghilang, kini dah pulang....ehhh?

 Been away from home those last few days.

Bukan pergi berdamawisata tapi utk cikli ,suami saya. Dari sakit buah pinggang ke sakit mata lah pula.....

The story goes....

Satu hari cikli kelam kabut. Dia dapati sebelah matanya gelap. Tak nampak. 

Bergegas dia ke doktor HTF. 

Dan bermulalah episod perjalanan kami ke KL. Satu pagi Sabtu or is it a Sunday yang hening. Lupa pulak harinya. Pening.

Di permudahkan dengan kehadiran cikten sekeluarga yang balik bercuti , kepulangan mereka kami ekori. Save duit naik bas atau keretapi.. hihi

Destinasi cikli Hosp. Pakar Selayang . Untuk operasi meletak kembali kanta yang rosak. 

Pagi Selasa cikten hantar abahnya dengan suaminya. Cikson tak pergi kerana masih sakit kaki. Itu pun ada cerita tersendiri. Dan hari Khamis berikutnya selamat cikli menjalani prosedur dan discharge pada Hari Jumaat. Alhamdulillah.

Dan Sabtu lalu, cikson selamat balik ke Kangar dengan ditemani anak naik ETS. 

Tkasih anak anak yang bersusah payah mengurus ayah mereka. Terutama kepada cikten dan suami. Bersyukur kami. 

Dah boleh mula mengetuk keyboard mengadap sawah ....Alhamdulillah.

These are my views those few days I was away..

Semua views adalah dari Danau Kota Suite Apartment,Setapak.

Tempat bertapa nun dkt awan.

Nampak banjaran gunung berbalam balam 

Nak turun ke tanah ,kaki pula meragam.. Sedangkan Up Town Danau Kota di depan.. Nasib badan.

POV.... dugaan yang mendatang ,bila ditangani dengan empati, akan bersolusi yang diingini. Usah kelam kabut . Srabut.

These few moments when I  said....enough is enough. 

To those in the midst of all....cukup cukuplah . 

Rasa hati.....

 Rasa apa tak bila tonton clip video ni?

Seorang ibu walau apa sekali pun ia, tidak senang melihat anaknya dibuli.

Just so happened that a short clip got my attention. But cant download here as of now. 

A mother cat watched desperately as a bully cat bullied her child in front of her. Being caged she was unable to come to her child's defence.

The next morning, the owner let the cage open.

Out she came and without hesitation she went straight to the bully.

Haaa... terkejut beruk sang pembuli. Kena belasah dengan ibu kucing. Menonong dia lari selamatkan diri.

That resonates with mothers all over the universe. You bully anak wa,you jaga! haha.

Kisah ibu meluru memarahi staf sebuah organisasi jadi fyp sejak semalam . Or is it a few days before.Anak punya buat hal si ibu jadi malu. 

Masa disekolah dulu pun ada ibu ibu yang sangat beremosi kalau anaknya dimarahi guru. Yang paling diingati kes orang kenamaan negeri bergaduh kerana anak . Datang ke sekolah buat report sbb anak mereka bergaduh. 

Saya pun ada juga terkena bila ibubapa datang bertanyakan hal anak mereka. Tetapi taklah melarat. 

Menonton klip video yang dishare difb buat terfikir sebuah rumusan.

Bila anak dibuli, jangan ibubapa mendiam diri. Selidik dengan hati hati. Pertimbangkan dengan seadilnya. Perlukah masuk campur atau tidak.

Kalau perlu, jadilah ibu kucing yang membelasah bapa kucing sipembuli...puas rasa hati...hihi.

Thats all folks. Bye,

Adios amigos.... bila cikli ke sekolah....

 Hari masih kelam di luar. 

I nak pi dah...Bye.

Itulah rutin kami selang sehari. Selasa,Khamis dan Sabtu...setiap minggu.

Sampai di 'sekolah' cikli update kehadirannya di whatsapp  keluarga.

'Dyls. class begins at 7.00 am'...tulisnya.Lega .

Next week rutin kami akan berubah. Cikli akan dimasukkan ke Hospital Selayang utk operate matanya.

Maka akan berkampung kami di rumah cikten seketika. Hingga selesai urusan semua.

Semoga lancar urusan cikli dan saya.

Sudah berbulan cikli berkuliah diZaharah. Mula mula terasa agak payah. Bayaran dikenakan mau bikin lelah. Sekali prosedur 200 lebih kena bayar. Tak termasuk lagi ada extra servis yang dikehendaki.

Mujur cikson pesara kerajaan. Maka kemudahan itu memudahkan. Syukur Alhamdulillah. KWAP terimakasih diucapkan.

Namun selalu juga cikli bawa balik berita sedih. Sudah tak terbilang rakan sekuliah dia dijemput Ilahi.

We are on borrowed times,cikli. I assured him.

Who knows who goes first. You or me. For each extended year,lets live happily ever after. No more war.Hahaha. I joked.

My cikli used to be an active man . Seeing him slump on the sofa after coming back from the 'school' is a pitiful sight. 

Belajar kat sekolah tu memang penat. 

Happy Birthday my March girl.....

 

Saja mama wish you girl in Spanish.

Spaniards are renowned for their happy spirit, fighting for their rights . They are divertido,amigable and tranquilo. Which means fun, friendly and calm. Which you are full of them.

Dear kakak ,kaklong, auntie bolin as you are dearly endeared.

May Allah SWT keep you safe always,bless you with all his blessings on this blissful day. Only Allah knows the depth of our loves for you. 

Thru Ups and Downs you went through. Each struggle amplifies the true courage that mama and papa sowed in your upbringing. You never gave up. Keep it up.Like the Spaniards,they are like the matadors. Fighting without fear. Be it in your work or life. 

Harini Allah masih memberi peluang buat mama mengucapkan ucapan selamat Hari Lahir. Doa mama selalu agar my Olin dear berjaya mengatasi halangan apa saja dalam hidup ini dengan berjaya. Diberi Allah kesihatan yang baik, teman teman yang baik juga adik adik yang mengasihi. 

May you be protected from people who are mean, unjust, back stabbers and satans yang membolak balikkan kehidupan. 

Love you with all my hearts. My forever my niña.

Mama.

Malaih dah mai....shopping rajin pula.

 Bila terlampau banyak nak dikerjain, aku jadi buntuin...ewah. Dah kenapa terbawa kata kata bibik pulak.

I met a few Indonesian and Thai bibiks who worked for me and my sisters. Some were very good, full of integrity while some are suckers. Real suckers who stole and .... malaih la nak cakap. Bagi betis nak peha.Dah dapat peha... you completelah statement tu. Malaih aihhh.

Bila malaih menjelma, apa ku buat nak isi waktu. Sleeping is not an option.

Well..I went shopping!

Haa ,tak boleh pi mall and shopping complexes kerana kaki yang sakit, aku guna jari.

Click,cluck dah beliii...hihi.

Do you know what is my first buy and on which platform?

Since I memberanikan diri shopping on line, I used a number of platforms.

* Lazada

* Shopee

* Advertisements on fb.

I started with ads I found on FB. Just to buy leather strips for my RBL sofa. Dek cakaran kucing, berlubang sana sini sofa yang disayangi. 

Huh.... tak tertampal pun sofa tu. Masih lubang lubang begitu. Dah la kecik kedemit saja size strip tu, gam pula tak melekat.

The second buy was for minyak angin Have Dr Muzaffar. Dua kali beli. Tapi kenapa qualiti tak sama mcm first buy. 

The priciest buy was for AlQuran A3 yang besaq tu. Then there were more. Ada yang puas hati ada yang mkn hati.

Then, I went for shopeeeee.....hehe

Masa tu mula start covid ni. Risau kat anak diKL mak in me order rice cooker for them . Depa dah beli tapi jahanam. Nak pi tukar susah sbb ada sekatan perjalanan.

Banyak lah benda yang makcik beli. Yang mahal and murah .

After a while I got hooked on Lazada.

Ni antara pengalaman makcikson. Membeli belah on line.

* Order baju yang dapat nipis . Macam kertas

* Beli seluar. Yang dapat nak masuk sebelah kaki pun tak dapat.

* Beli mesin jahit mini... hihi . Dapat dapat rosak sampai kini tak dibaiki.

* Tunggu dengan excitednya. Dok tak dok depa cancel kita punya order. Bukan sekali tapi tiga kali dah kena.

* Kalau beli dari China, jangan dok tunggu. Berzaman lama baru menjelma.

So.... these are my obervations

*Beli dari .os,lazzmall, preferred by platforms, view baik , 

*Products detail jgn skip baca. Sedia tape measure utk tahu saiznya.

*Review dengan jujur. Tak baik kata tak baik. Baik kita rating 5 stars.

*Beli dgn COD pun kena hati hati dan hubaya.

Guys ... these are some of my catches.

Kasuit...harini order,esok turun harga

Ni baru coba coba saja

Dah coba. Grilled chicken cobaan 
Pertama

Ni belum guna. Ada project 
menanti dia.

Thats all folks. Welcome March.
