Science Lesson No. 1

Last night, as I was driving home from Mama's, it was drizzling. And as usual, Apai will talk about his :

1) Uncle Bus dah lama tak datang so auntie bus yang hantar balik
2) Teacher X...yang asyik kata jawapan matematik dia salah..so he said teacher tu yang tak tau
matematik
3)girlfriend dia..Zahira duduk sebelah dia dalam bus sebab girfriend sorang lagi nama Railey absem (absent)

After a while, I asked him.."Apai lapar tak? Nak makan?"

"eemm nak...", he replied

"nak makan apa sayang?"

"mama..nape bila kita lapar...otak kita suruh kita makan?"

Here's Science lession No.1

"Sebab..bila perut kita lapar...dia bagitau kat otak kita...then otak kita bagitau kita suruh makan lah"..I said.

" oh.. ok..Mama..otak saya kata kena makan maggie" he said selamba.

TOINGGGGG!!!! there goes the science lesson...he knew i won't let him eat maggie.

" Tak boleh la maggie...apai kena makan chicken, sayur and blah blahblah", i replied

"Habis tu kenapa dulu -dulu..otak mama ngan papa suruh makan maggie je?"he asked again .

Lagi sekali tak tau nak jawab apa sebab dulu memang pun time malas nak masak and nak cepat..memang both of us makan maggie.

This time i just kept quiet and tukar topic...

hehehe there goes my science lesson no.1....

ciao for now.

Finally...

Finally.....rumahku dah siap di betulkan. Alhamdullilah. After a week of living in a kapal karam...yesterday...the three of us slept in our room. But more needs to be done. The kain baju especially. Nasib baik half of it was sent to the laundry.

Cuma, last nite and early this morning...i heard some not so good sound of water flowing in the tank and sometimes dapat dengar lagi bunyi pipe vibrate. I called Mr Yeap the contractor a few hours ago. He promised to send someone to look at it petang nanti. Looks like i have to again leave office probably an hour early. I hope this time its gonna be good for good.

Over the weekend, all of us except hubby went to Apai's first concert. It was fun!!. I was relieved to see Apai enjoying his dance called "Let's Celebrate". And after that Atuk took us for lunch at BK Hartamas. I guess Apai n frens can relax now after months of hardwork practising the steps.

Tapi...Smart reader is not closed for holidays yet. School is as usual until Dec 12. Haiya..kesian bebudak ni.

Well..today..I have a lot to catch up at work. And still waiting for hubby to call and update on his whereabouts as he was asked to assist the Haj operation in Jeddah pulak since flights to Madinah dah berakhir on Nov 15.

To hubby..take good care..we miss u....!

Bye for now..

I didn't ask for it.....

Kita selalu dengar orang kata...."kalau ada musibah yang melanda...kita mesti sabar dan redha menghadapi segala kejadian samada baik atau buruk...sebab....itu adalah dugaan Allah...dan apabila kita diduga...tandanya Allah sayangkan kita dan ingatkan kita..dan mungkin beri kita peringatan akan kelalaian kita selama ni."

Yes..I truly believe that. Beberapa hari yang lalu....ada musibah yang berlaku. and i feel its a dugaan yang besar (setakat ni) especially when hubby is not around. Walaumacamanapun, syukur sebab dugaan ni taklah seberat mana compared to rang lain yang macam-macam lagi ditimpa kesusahan.

It started on that Friday morning..while i was about to clean my face...with facial foam all over ...tetibe tak da air....DAMMM!!! time nak mandi time tulah air takde. It happened before. The main pipe kadang kadang vibrate so whenever it vibrates, bibik akan slowkan the main tap...lama-lama...pressure pun tak de and air pun tak naik.

I went down and took a quick bath with available water left.

later in the afternoon, I decided to go home early because i need to call the Indonesian worker to fix the problem.

When we reached home...apai was screaming.."Mama..rumah kita banjir...mama lupa nak tutp paip ke?" I was still clueless and blurr. I went in and was shocked to see water flowing from the stairs... everywhere is wet and flooded. Ran upstairs and was even shocked to see water dripping from the ceiling of the 3 bedrooms and worst still, the room that we turned into our closet (sebab tak buat wardobe lagi) the ceiling runtuh...yes runtuh...so u can imagine the condition of my house....my bed was totally wet and to sum up in just 4 words....everthinng's damaged and wet.

I was devastated. With hubby not around...i just dunno what to do.

When i spoke to hubby i broke down...I so want him to come home immediately ..but i know that is very impossible.

When I was more calmed, I called the contractor...and they did the fixing part...but till today its still not completed. I took leave for tommorow and the day after to clean up the mess after they repaired everything.

Oh well....I guess.. ni baru sikit je dugaanNYA. There must be a blessing in disguise despite all this. This incident has made me stronger in getting thru the challenges in life. I also realised that it is very hard to overcome situations like this when your husband is not around....because every decision you make..every step you take...its all on you. So ..thumbs up to all the single mums outhere.!! I salute you for your courage and strengths.

Ciao for now....

Just Another Ordinary Day

Today is just another ordinary day. hari ni pun taklah sebz mana because...no one is at office....
Mood nak buat kerja pun takda plus no outstandings left..soooo lega and sooooooooo boring la pulak sume kerja dah siap.

Yesterday wasn't ordinary......

It didn't start well that morning. Apai buat perangai lagi. Mula mula nangis tak nak mandi lepas mandi nangis lagi tak nak pergi school because tak suka teacher X sebab teacher X slalu marah sebab dia tak tau buat Maths...

I was in a hurry yesterday because i din't wanna be stuck in the jam and be late for my session.
I get more stressed when he can't stop crying and...with the existence of the butterflies in my stomach....it made things worst.

Apai was cyring hysterically in the car..and it was also raining very heavily..eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee geramnyer akakkkkk!!!. I decided not to send him to school because i Did Not want to create any scene at the drop off area of his school.

I left aand reached just in time before the event started.

It felt weird coz...a few years back..i was there as an employeee and yesterday i was there as a speaker.

Overall..I enjoyed..eventhough i couldn't really sleep the nite before thinking if its gonna be a smooth one for me.

I rewarded myself with a Subway sandwich...uummm yummy..!

While I was enjoying my sandwich, my phone rang..

"Mama..apai mintak maaf...tommorow i go to school",

" Hmmm ok....." I said.

" mama ..belikan Sugus kay..for aqid, me and adik"

ahhhaahhh.. I knew it....mintak maaf sebab ada udang sebalik mee rupenyer...am not sure if its a sincere maaf from my dearest son...=)

To hubby..miss u much.....

Ciao for today....

I'm sorry........

Yesterday I attended a Seminar at PJ Hilton. I left the hotel at about 3.30pm. I decided not to lepak lama2 at mama's house because I need to practice for my presentation at my old office tommorow( Am already having butterflies in the stomach).

We reached home at about 5 pm. Helped Apai with his Mandarin homework..or he prefers to call and spell as chinis. But of course ada je alasan tak nak habis kan the last page....some of his common reasons:

1. Teacher kata buat satu page jer mama..(yelah tu..)
2. Penatla mama..Apai tak Larat ni...and
3. Mama ..I want to do at nenek house tommorow morning.

To make things uncomplicated..I just follow like buffalo..sebab malas nak naik hangin...janji kerja siap. I believe..if he doesn't have the interest to do it at that point of time...the quality of work pun will be unsatisfactory.oklah sayang..nak buat kat rumah nenek pun buatlah..mama tak kisah.

After that, i decided to drink my cuppa coffee at our mini garden. Hujan pun renyai renyai..masa ni lah tersanggap sekejap kat hubby....tgh sanggap sanggap tetiba..my not so little sunshine yang malas nak buat homework tadi pun keluar. He started to pok pek pok pek..mama.this mama that... and i just answered mmhmmm..yea..ya..yes..ooh..oh yeke...oh ok...
(What a bad mommy!!!) Yelah..tgh melayan perasan..so agak malas nak melayan dia cakap.

He made a statement " Mama..u miss ur husband ye?"

Finally I said, " Lepas ni mandi ok?"

"Ok..Mama kita mandi berdua k, papa tak de so we can kissing kissng?" he said

I made a face..

"EEEEE tak nak lah..."

"Mama..why boys..cannot kiss gurls?"

" Because...they are not married yet" I said selamba.

" Ok then i want to marry zahira..( his classmate yang jugak comel...=)"

I asked" She likes u aaa?"

" Oh..tak nak lah... I want to marry Hani"

"Why?"

"Because Hani is my gangstarz"

HHHuhh? Dia ni tau ke apa dia cakap ni?

" Gangstarz?? What song do u sing?"
" Oh.. We sing...I love u u love me..we are happy family..lalallalalla( Barney song)

LOL!!! ntah pape ntah anak aku ni.

Later that nite... i was doing my toning exercise in the bathroom. Of course i had 2 little audience watching me. Then one of the audience came and wanted to take my wrist weight away.

"NNNNOPE..go back to the bed" I said sternly.

So ..this audience pun merajuk and baring on his papa's portion of the bed.

When I'm done...as i was wiping the sweats of my body...I told him..

"Apai..go and wee wee before u sleep k..tadi dah minum banyak air"

I think i said that very nicely for umpteenth time. But no response..
Aduhh..sungguh the terkurang the ajar!!!

I guess the temperature has reached to its maximum.. i raised my voice... and tak dengar jugak...and suddenly.....automatically for the first time in my life....i..took the towel and pukul his kaki...(tak skait pun..but later i think it got a little bit harder when he still make dunno.

Knowing my son.. he's very egoistic...tak nangis tak apa..expressionless.

When I cooled down...we had a talk...a looong talk... on why i did that and why he shouldn't do that again... we both started to cry.... He said sorry to me... and i hugged him and i apologised to him for doing that.,

Mama mintak maaf sayang...I din't mean to hurt you but i was stressed.

I'm sorrry...dear.... I love you....always and forever.

When everything got back to normal....we watched Penelope...but halfway thru..they dozed off. And I continued with watching Samantha Who...

HMMMmmm it is not easy to be a parent...I always pray that i will be a good mother to my kids..because the kids are a reflection of us.....

Ok chow for now.... Wish me luck for my presentation tommorow!!.
