hari-hari terakhir 2006

Minggu ni terasa amat relaks. Traffic clear, office-wise agak relaks...despite ramai yg cuti dan calls yg byk, hidup terasa tenang kat ofis. Mungkin sebab exam baru abis, assignment dah siap, klas dah abis, jadinya minda lebih tenang dan dpt function spt biasa....kalo idak duk jam-packed dgn hafal-menghafal dan proses menginput segala fakta dr buku teks hoho. Exam susah, 4x ganda susah berbanding OB dulu, tapi bak kata prof, kamu tulis je ape saja asal jgn tinggal kosong...so that's what i did! Betul tak betul itu belakang kira, janji kat kertas ada tulisan :p Janji pass udahler!
Abis exam pukul 1pm, dgn gembiranye drive balik rumah...sampai kat sg besi tayar belakang pancit. Tersgtla haru, park la keta tepi highway, call pruzz, tunggu dekat 40 min dgn perut yg lapar banget, setitik air pon tak teguk lagi dr awal pagi tadi. Kesabaran terduga, tp aku cuba buang masa sambil bersms ngan kawan hehe. Hilang stress :)

Camner nak ilangkan stress? aku baru balik dr course stress mgmt last week, so ade la a few tips yg boleh diguna bersama:

- tarik nafas, pejam mata, cuba relaks dlm 5 min, kosongkan minda...ala-ala meditate la nih
- minum air kosong byk2
- berfikir dulu before ckp, gunakan minda, jgn guna hati/emotions...nanti binasa
- prioritize, applykan segala basic time mgmt skill yg pernah kita blajar dolu2..mane yg tak penting, tinggalkan dulu, yg paling penting, dont strive to be a perfectionist..
- we cant never live in a stress-free environment. Maknanye stress tu mmg necessary, inevitable, common...lari camner pon hidup sure akan face dgn stress
- 70% source of stress are from outside work - maknanye dr rumah, environment, social, etc....ni study done by previous researchers. tapi mungkin org2 tertentu spt doktor, or Aini disagree with this hehe
- the very basic thing utk handle stress, kenalilah source of stress anda/stressors. Bila tahu ape sebabnye, maka insya allah kita boleh come out with coping strategy utk handle stress tu.
- antara kesan2 stress adalah physical health - migraine, gastrik, heart attack, high BP, etc...yg paling haru, boleh membawa kpd kematian


ok sekian lecture dari saya utk kali ni....kalau tak faham bley tanye. Tapi serius ckp course tu mmg best, i can see the practicality on most of the applications touched by the speaker. Byk kena tepat kat batang hidung sendiri :p

Ckp pasal rumah, kami target nak pindah on mid jan 07. Skang tgh bz basuh dan sental umah and packing barang slowly, slowly dan tidak mempressurekan diri nanti stress haha. Rumah kami macam tongkang pecah, penuh dgn kotak2...kat dlm bilik, kat ruang bwh...sakit mata bila tgk. Baju ngan buku dah settle, so tinggal lagi 70% kot kena packing...aku paling cuak nak redah store tu, takut benda2 yg tak diingini muncul huhu takutts. Lipas kuar dr kotak pon aku dah menjerit rasa cam nak luruh jantung, apetah lagi kalo cik ti ke ape ke yg muncul dr store tu...aduss lomah semangat. Umah baru tu byk lagi belum settle, kc cuma boleh dipasang awal jan, ruang bwh belum basuh, cat belum lagi...banyak lagi kerja yg tak settle.....tapi takper jgn stress ok tak baik utk kesihatan :)

Ok itu je update terbaru buat masa ini...selamat bercuti kpd yg bercuti, selamat bekerja kpd yg dah habis cuti and tak boleh cuti...dan selamat menyambut tahun baru 2007, umur semakin meningkat, maka sentiasalah beringat kpd-Nya. Semoga hidup akan lebih bermakna dan bersinar pd tahun baru nih :)))

Tima kasih TM..jasamu dikenang!!!

yang ke-3

Kitorang sama-sama budak Feb intake. Kenal rapat thru telnet. Abis kelas laju je pegi lab masuk telnet...sehari ntah beberapa kali chatting. Kesimpulannye telnet la yg merapatkan kami. Id dia 91000077, id aku 91000092. Habis feb intake, dia masuk management, aku masuk accounting (konon nak jadi professional accountant :p), so kitorang dah tak sama klas dah. Tapi org kata, muka kitorang ade kat mana-mana...foodcourt, library, court badminton, etc (malu la plak bila pk hehe). Dari feb intake, masuk ke first year, dan seterusnye, dari melaka pindah ke cyber...tup tup sampai ke final year. Orang panggil aku yatipruzz...yela ramai yati lain kat mmu tu, so utk differentiate kan aku..tu la gelarannya. Ramai panggil kitorang pasangan serasi la, secocok la, couple scorer la (alhamdulillah), pasangan feb intake paling lama la...memacam lagi. Kat mmu, kitorang mkn bersama, blajar sesama, main ping pong sesama, at the same time bersaing utk score. Kadang aku menang, kadang dia menang...tapi overall cgpa dia menang (tak aci tak aci). Nak sedapkan hati aku, aku cakap tapela..course dia senang (ampun yang :p). So habis blajar, dia decide nak jadi tutor. Aku plak nak merasa keje dlm corporate world, so again terpisah lagi. Dia tutor kat melaka, aku kat menara tekom. 8 september 2002, kitorang bertunang. Alhamdulillah tak byk onak dan duri time tunang ni...mungkin sbb faktor distance kot. In fact lagi byk bergaduh time blajar dulu hehe. Setahun 3 bulan bertunang, tanggal 13 Disember 2003 kami selamat jadi pasangan suami isteri. 10 Disember 2004 kami selamat bergelar mama dan abah kepada si kecik comel tuh! Dan hari ni, genap 3 tahun kami duduk sebumbung, mkn bersama, tgk tv sesama, basuh be*** idlan sesama, gilir bgn bancuh susu tgh mlm, etc. Pahit, manis, masam muka, merajuk, bergaduh...semua tu mmg asam garam dlm hidup kami. Tapi syukur kami masih bersama, syukur kerana kebahagiaan masih berpihak kepada kami. Ditambahkan dgn kehadiran idlan dlm hidup ini, mmg meriah dan bahagia.

Kepada B, Happy Anniversary yg ke-3 to u! Tima kasih kerana menjadi suami terbaik, abah terbaik, dan kawan terbaik sepanjang tempoh perkenalan kita. Segala pengorbanan awak akan kite kenang sampai ke akhir hayat, segala jasa awak amat kite hargai. Semoga kebahagiaan akan terus menemani kita berdua sampai bila-bila.

Sayang awak muahss!

what we did on his birthday

Saturday morning we treat him breakfast at uncle ronalds, and as expected idlan mmg syiok abis bila pegi mc d. The whole day was spent at ikea, merely went there to return some items and ends up we took something else back home. Night time, initially planned to dine out at kenny's, tp idlan buat perangai, last skali tapau jer. Tapau skali cheese cake la boheme, for the sake of taking pics sbb actual celebration plan nak buat lambat lagi since esok nek umi takder , tapi malangyer idlan tak suke pon cake tuh :p Balik umah amik gambar action potong kek, tp muka dia pandang ke tv, potong kek takde perasaan! Last skali mama and abah je balun kek tu hehe

10th- mulanye plan nak duk umah jer, since semlm dah one whole day berjln, konon abah nak setelkan lecture notes dia. Tapi bila bgn pagi, lepas kiss idlan wish dia & nyanyikan dia lagu birthday, tgk mood dia happy semacam je, rasa tak sampai hati plak kalau takde buat pepe. Last2 abah suarakan hasrat pegi sunway lagoon, mama ape lagi on jer! So pepagi kol 8 lebey dah kuar rumah, bwk sausage sandwich bekalan breakfast. Idlan dari dlm umah, dlm keta, sampaila ke sunway lagoon tak lepas pegang pelampung spiderman dia..sayang abis kat pelampung dia! Mandi manda dlm pool 2 jam lebey, takmo kuar langsung, break minum susu pon dia takmo...heppy abis dia dpt main air. Yg bahaya nyer, dia takmo duk sgt dlm pelampung, instead dia insist nk berjln dlm air..sampai air ke paras leher dia still berani lagi. Kitorang yg risau sbb byk kali dia jatuh muka tersembam dlm air. After 2 jam kitorang dah penat, diajak balik dia takmo...last skali terpaksa tipu dia ajak beli eskrem ngan coklat..barula dia willing nak kuar dr pool. Time tu dah pukul 12 lebey, panas sesgt, matahari tegak atas kepala. Dlm keta on the way back idlan tumbang kepenatan. Mujur mlm tu tak demam or sesema...check telinga pon ok...risau takut dia demam rendam lama dlm air. So itula hadiah besday idlan taun ni, a few weeks back dah beli basikal utk dia, tp dia tak suke..sabor jela. Celebration mkn2 mama plan nak buat on 24th...after mama abis xm. Oh yer, besday idlan sama ngan besday tok belah kedah..to mak, Happy Birthday to u too!

p/s: Kpd sue, congrats for the new born baby girl! lengkap dah sepasang eh!

an advance birthday wish

Dear Idlan,

Two days ahead marks your second birthday. Three days after that will be mama and abah’s 3rd anniversary. With you around, mama and abah feel blessed; you make us complete. You were borned thru c-sect, thus mama didn’t have the chance to feel any pain prior your arrival. Nevertheless, mama’s confinement period was challenged, you refused to breastfeed, you woke up more than 3x on average, you hardly sleep after awake, and the most tiring part, mama had to wake up in advance, doing the pumping jobs at least 3x a night. Thank God mama had abah with me, so together the both of us went thru the sleepless night without fail. Despite the tiring, we knew the experience is irreplaceable. We grow to become a knowledgeable parent, and yes we were quite a fast learner :)

Time past very fast, and now you’ve become a big boy to mama and abah. You had once attacked with pneumonia when you were about 8 m-o. You have eczema and still not completely recovered from it. But don’t worry, mama and abah will continuously find ways to overcome it. Nevertheless, you grow up well and that already makes us satisfied.

Now that you can speak, you never fail to amuse us with your funny phrases and words, your superhero actions, your body language and many more. And mama has noticed, you were so over-protected on your mama don’t you? You will scold abah when abah does something to mama; abah pinched mama and you pinch him back. Oh I just love you! Hope you can protect your adik, hope you will take care the both of us when we get older.

Mama has to stop now. Since our house still not wired, and your birthday falls on Sunday, let mama wish u an advance Happy 2nd Birthday to my beloved Muhammad Idlan Farhan. Both mama and abah will always pray for your happiness, good health, good life, and most importantly, you must grow as a knowledgeable person, lead your life with Islam as your basis in whatever things you do. Semoga menjadi anak yang soleh, berjaya di dunia dan akhirat kelak.

Love always,
Mama

(nanti mama paksa abah buat another entry dedication for u ok!)

mama.......the bz bee

Things are getting pretty frenzied, but im still coping. 24hr a day seems shorter than before, but im still grateful i get enough sleep every night. Most importantly, i sometimes do feel like a superwoman, running here and there, doing this and that, and still everything falls back to its place, intact (ade nada perasan sket hehehe).

My normal days are tight with office work and assignments. Weekends are jam-packed with classes, survey things for our new house, making appointments with ppl, etc. Like last sunday, from morning till afternoon i was in class, rushing back home to perform solat and had lunch, then took the two men of the house out for a few appointments, went to kamdar to get curtains, and our last destination was tesco, for dinner. Despite the clock ticked 10 already, we noticed idlan are all energized, no sign of sleepy whatsoever. I know he was happy, happy for we brought him out to shopping complex, happy for he had time to spent with the both of us (.......and happy dpt mkn chicken rice, his ferevet :p). Back home, i was flat already, but satisfied. Satisfied for being able to accomplish so many things in a day. Sbb tu perasan superwoman haha

Exam is nearer, assignments are 60% done, cuma buku je tak penah bukak baca lagi huhuhu.

Idlan will turn two y-o in 3 days. Im glad he is healthy, his appetite shows great improvement, his feveret are no doubt mushroom soup with garlic bread and chicken rice, he doesnt like ice cream, he eats choc but not so often, he weighs more than 12kg i think, and the outstanding one, he can pronounce his name already!

"ni Iyan punyer, ni topi Iyan, chair Iyan"...etc. Even tho ade pelat sket but still im proud of him.

and the most funny part......he now says

"mama...mama...jom JJ!" .......repeatedly.

if i asked him, where are we going? definitely his answer is JJ! looks like he's a big fan of JJ (lucky our new house dekat ngan JJ baru tuh :p) He can even spot the JJ signboard from distance...nampak gaya mama n abah dah salah ajaran.
Kesimpulannya, semua shopping complex jadi JJ, be it tesco ke ikea ke ape sajelah JJ je yg ade dlm kamus dia.

Hobi dia, lari laju kiri kanan dlm shopping complex & turun naik escalator...mmg mencabar keimanan kami berdua.

Still obsess with mr incredibles, he watches the movie 4-5x on average per day.

On another story, finally we've placed confirmation for grill and kc. The wiring men are doing their works now, and soon few other person will start doing the concrete top. We targeted to move before end of jan, hope that will materialize and the 'busy'ness that i have now will ceased slowly.

oh i just love my life......:)

There's so much to write yet so little time i have.... It seems that the 24hour per day i used to have before is no longer the same 24hr i have now.

Well the second class has commenced last week, it's HRM and the doc has managed to make the whole class wide awake till the end. He kept on using bombastic words, jargons we never have heard before, and the likes. And now i'm all scared for the individual assignment given. Find any HRM topics of your interest, and do write up/review on it, must relate to some dependent variables in hrm. And after doing extensive surfing and whatsnot, i'm stuck, i'm scared, i dunno what topic i like, dunno what should i write. argh bencinyer bila stuck camni!

and now the terrible headache i got since last nite getting worst, im running out of stock for ponstan, and i feel like vomitting anytime soon. Yesterday evening i drove from seri kembangan to menara tm for our group discussion and it took me 1.15 minutes to arrive. Discussion ends at 910pm, and alhamdulillah i safely arrived at home walaupun kepala tgh pening yg amat...what a tiring day.

enuff on class, the good part of my life, we will soon be getting our house key...tak sabarnyer! Hope there's no major defects on our unit so that we can start doing our grill, kitchen, etc soonest possible. Weekend ni nak spend on surveying and buying some little things like sink, lamps, fans, kitchen accessories....nak survey colour cat...walla bestnyer....and oh yes tomorrow ade MMU family day, harap2 kitorang menang lucky draw :)

Idlan? hoho dia ok..makin garang skang, dah pandai cekak pinggang marah abah! He is so crazy into the incredibles, tapi mmg berbaloi we bought the cd for him. At least i can play the cd so that he wont distract me at kitchen, etc. He can watch it 5-6x per day sampaikan mama can already memorize some catchy phrases of the story..mmg interesting citer tu,dan comel! He now weighs 12kg, and the paed says its within the normal range for a 24-m-o kids. We just discover he loves mc d chicken's foldover, and this week mama prepared toast bread+scrambled egg/chicken sausage+salad+tomato+mayo for his breakfast pack. Dia suker! For his upcoming birthday, i've planned some small celebration amongst the family member, in fact i've drawed out the list of menu inside my head nyeh nyehh (tak share ngan abah pon :p)....kalo boleh cake besday pon nak buat sendiri (tadi pegi bakery yen beli piping bag, semangat giler!). Tapi tgkla camner, planning awal2 ni sometimes when it comes to the day itself, ade plak halangan dan cabarannyer...tgkla nanti.

ok dah pjg dah...deviant brape minit dah ni hehe...have a nice weekend ppl!

of here and there

Im having a very good time this week around. Exam was over, the questions were much simpler than expected (B commented "ni lagi senang dr soklan degree ni "). After the exam i rushed back home, performed solat, had lunch and abah took us to a relative's open house. Met up by bro and sil, managed to catch up lots of things with my sedara of which we last met over a year ago, stuffed the already-full stomach with a nice laksa penang. Mmg puas hati! From there we went to JJ, simply to fulfill idlan's request. Jgn memain skang dia dah pandai ckp "mama abah jom jom...JJ!" The next day was more like a get-together kronis gathering at safurah and halim's house. Jumpe ramai kroni alhamdulillah...dan spt biasa acara mkn2 dan sesi bergossipan berjln dgn jayanyer :) This week there's another call for open house...dekat je ngan umah so i'll make sure to slip in to my already tight schedule.

My second module will start on this saturday, so perjuangan baru bakal bermula yeay :P The not so good thing is that idlan's nursery will be organizing a birthday bash cum concert for all the kids, also on saturday. So definitely we wont be able to turn up for the event, so unfortunate for idlan isk isk..taun lepas pon takleh attend, so as this year...sian idlan! Nanti mama and abah compensate celebrate besday idlan best2 ok!

Tomorrow me and lots of my colleagues will be having interview for the scholarship application, doakan kami berjaya ok. If not i'll end up scratching my head to find the money for my mba huhuhu

Last night i stayed up till 230am baking cookies for my husband's officemate. She asked hubby if she could order 4 jars of cookies from me and since i still have balance for all the ingredients needed, i decided to proceed. Rezeki dtg jangan ditolak hehe :) A few ppl did ask me but to go for commercial i would say NO for time being. Kudrat dan masa tidak mengizinkan..tunggula esok2 bila dah free sket. Skang ni ade empat title, isteri, ibu, employee, student...hoho tu dah cukup byk tu! Sehari ade 24jam je beb, tolak waktu tido lagi tinggal brape jer hehe

ok ok enough for now, dah 4 paragraph ni dah considered major deviant ni haha....happy working peeps!

mumbo jumbo

1] Yesterday evening as usual after we reached home idlan will request abah to take him out, riding the motor. The motor can sometimes become our saviour, and works best to persuade and comfort idlan whenever he dissastified with something. And mama, out of the blue suddenly felt like joining the both of them. Frankly speaking mama takut naik motor hehe...penah naik 2x je seumur hidup...but yesterday was different i guess. So then i rushed upstair picked up my trouser and there we go the three of us naik motor round keliling rumah (if u see a young lady wearing a brown kebaya on top and a maroon trouser, that was ME hehe!) We had a good time, i was indeed! Hilang perasaan takut sumer2 tuh. No wonder idlan enjoys every bits and seconds he had with abah all these days :) Ptg ni abah bawak kita naik motor lagi ok!

2] The long awaited moment finally arrived and we gonna get our house key very near soon. That is the good part of it, the not-so-good part is that we have to pay the late interest payment (blame it to the bank/lawyer/developer) amouting nearly to 1k. Hampes sungguh! Its frustrating when you as the consumers are not able to identify the loopholes and the cause of the delay and ends up you have to pay for it. We did our best asking, investigating, seeking and digging whatever info we had on hands and cross-check those things with our lawyers, bank and developer but obviously everyone was trying to protect and act for their best interest and kita consumer ni la yg tanggung hampeh! Our last resort, is to prepare an appeal letter to reduce the amount of interest charged.

3] Ptg ni aku akan raya insya allah....dan esok ade exam OB...so kiranyer esok macam hari kemenangan buat aku :) Bye bye OB. Ptg esok kena celebrate ngan choc indulge nyeh nyehh

4] We got two acara makan2 this sunday, one at safurah's house for Raudhah gathering, another is my ofismate house in semenyih. I'll bake vanilla muffin on saturday's nite, take some for the gathering and give some to my parents. arghh cant wait for the weekend!

the study of OB

I think i have fall in love with OB. Its very interesting when you get to know and learn how certain behaviours impact the employee's performance as well as satisfaction they get from the jobs. It got more interesting when you actually studied your own behaviour, how u perform and react to the surroundings of your work environment.

And another simple concept I'd like to emphasize here, deviant work behaviour (DWB). When the lecturer asked us, did any of you guys ever engaged in this kind of behaviour? None of us wants to admit that. But when the lecturer listed out sample of the behaviours that are considered deviant, haa barula kena kat muka memasing!
- amik pen ofis bwk balik umah
- guna kertas A4 ofis print for personal use
- tumpang print assignment (guna paper and ink office nih!)
- surf internet
- guna email for personal use
- chatting

.....................now dah faham tak what it means by deviant work behaviour? im so sure nobody can ever refrain themselves from engaging in this type of activity...at least mesti penah buat punyer sekali seumur hidup time bekerja right!

p/s: i took the text book pic so as to reminiscence in future that...ohh aku penah amik subject ni dulu hehe...
Im gonna engage myself with the book for this whole week and then comfortably say tata to OB :)

The weekend

Yesterday's presentation marks the end of my class for this semester. The presentation was ok, though it was not one of my best :p I asked for a permission to go out early before the class ended, merely to attend Selin's jamuan mkn2 cum engagement ceremony. To Selin, tahniah dan slamat menjadi tunangan orang!

Balik rumah, semua dah flat...terus tido depan tv. I took the opportunity to cover up my last night not-enuff-sleep due to the last minute touch up/adding up more points for assignment+prepare for my presentation.
Lucky i didnt look like a zombie in the class :)

Night came, we had a simple but very fun outing at uncle ronald.
Click here for more pics.

1] We just had our division jamuan Hari Raya and the line up is way much better than what we expect, ending everybody up with sleepiness when we get back to our desks. We had laksa johor, nasi beriyani with ayam and kambing, lontong, sate, nasi impit, otak-otak, lemang and super delicious rendang...not to forget fruits and cookies for dessert. Byk giler kan? I can also tapau some of the food for hubby and idlan nyeh nyehh...mmg berbaloi dgn duit yg dihulur :p

2] To Selin, Selamat Bertunang! Sori we cant make it but insya Allah kenduri nnt kami dtg!
Sapekah jejaka yg bertuah itu eh?? to Raudhah, korang jgn lupa upload gambar selin bebyk ok.
Fren's function, open houses, weekend outings - well that are amongst the things that i need to sacrifice for the next 1.8 yrs...not to mention the time i used to have with B and idlan. I just pray for the time to fly as fast as it could be and persevere till the end...bayangkan konvo anda yeye!!!

3] Good news, we heard that finally the CF is out, and now all of us is waiting for the final notice of bank payment before the developer is ready to hand out the key :) So the searching and surverying activities shall resume within this short period yess lah!

Cerita Hari Raya kami

Raya tahun ni sungguhla tragis. Macam-macam benda berlaku, yet im grateful, still we had the chance to celebrate the raya with our loved ones, yela kalau nak compare ape yg berlaku pd kami dgn mereka2 di Thailand, Afrika, etc...kira kami ni masih tersangatla beruntung.

Bertolak blk ke kg di Junjung Kedah pd Ahad, 22hb. Sehari sebelum tu, B kena diarrhea, i guess the culprit was ayam goreng KFC yg super extra pedas tuh :( Nevertheless aku tak kena, alhamdulillah la. So sabtu tu B bukak pose di rumah umi dgn mkn bubur ayam mc D jer...terpaksa lupakan makanan lain yg sedap2 tu hehe.

Ahad, perjalananan ke kg ok...B pon nampak dah stable perut dia. Kami selamat sampai tanpa sebarang masalah.

Isnin sebelum raya, everything was ok, except idlan yg buat perangai takmo mkn pepe langsung, he exhibited zero interest to any kinds of food, pening mama ngan abah pujuk mkn, sumer dia reject. Susu pon minum sket je, kami rasa maybe dia bz main kot, plus ramai org kat kg...dia sampai lupa mkn minum :p

Selasa - Pagi raya still ok. Lepas solat raya B mengadu gatal2 and panas kat leher and muka dia. Habis digaru-garu, merah seluruh leher and tengkuk. Muka pon naik panas and bengkak sket. Suspect allergic (tapi tak tahu ape allergen nyer!), so B ngan abg ngah rush pegi klinik di pekan, lepas pekena jab dah ok terus :) Kat umah plak, Idlan lepas mandi pakai baju melayu mengamuk2, aku tidokan dia...then time dia bgn tido kebetulan aku dlm toilet, dia nangis2 cari mama and abah dia, batuk-batuk sampai muntah. Habis baju melayu raya, tak dan amik gambar raya satu family...sedey kan :(
Ptg tu kami berjln sakan, habis 5 umah pakcik makcik sedara B kami round. Kira complete la raye first ni memvisit mereka sumer.

Rabu - raya kedua aku tak ke mana. Idlan nampak cam tak brape sihat so duk umah je ngan abg ngah n akak ipar. Abg pruzz plak tetiba demam. B ngan mak pegi alor setar, lawat sedara belah sana.

Khamis - raya ketiga lagikla tragis. B kena diarrhea (suspect mkn nasi kandar kat alor setar kelmarin), aku plak kena gastrik. Kol 9 lebey kami ke kulim mencari klinik, byk plak tutup, at last jumpe satu klinik cina yg kosong, mujur doc baik and ok. So raya ketiga seharian duk rumah, tak larat sesgt. B ke toilet lebih 10x, aku plak muntah2 dan lemah satu badan. Mujur idlan ok, cuma dia batuk and sesema.

Jumaat - balik ke KL, perut B masih kureng stable but getting better, dia tak berani mkn pepe, takut kena gi toilet lagi. Aku dah ok, idlan masih dgn perangai takmo mkn. Berat pon dah susut sket. Terus direct pegi umah umi and tido kat Ampang. Umi msk rendang, tp B mkn sup ayam je, for the sake nak jaga perut :) Mlm pegi beraye kat umah abg.

Sabtu- balik ke umah kami, alhamdulillah rumat selamat semua selamat. Resume daily chores as usual, kemas seluruh rumah, basuh baju 2 trip, lipat baju, unpack brg, etc....flat satu bdn (ni yg boring bila balik umah sendiri hehe). Mlm gagahkan diri bukak buku, nak study kekonon, exam next week hehe...tp mata duk jeling2 tgk tv, mkn eskrem, mkn biskut raya, last2 abis satu cerekarama aku tengok sampai kol 12am :)
Dan si teruna pon dah back to his normal self, mkn dah lalu, habis semangkuk bubur ayam dimkn..alhamdulillah.

Dan hari ni dah back to the office, buat keje macam biasa, network ngan server early in the morning down and lembab sesgt, dia pon tgh mood raya kots. Next week klas resume cam biasa, ade assignment and presentation menanti, so kena rajin2 ok!

Gambar raye nanti2 lah...malas nak upload, tak byk mane pon gambar yg kitorang amik huhu

Kat klinik timbang berat, beratku jatuh lagik huhuhu..ni sure sbb gastrik ari tuh kots...bila difikirkan tragis jugak kali ni, mkn pon tak pulun byk (walaupun dah simpan azam nak mkn byk benda time raya), tu kot hikmahnyer, mkn kena berpada-pada :)

Salam Eid

Traffic is much clear this morning, i guess people has started leaving Kuala Lumpur and heading back to their hometown. Myself still working, and tomorrow confirm a few of us have to standby to man the center.

Last nite i've finished baking all the biscuits as planned. All already divided into 3 portions, i.e for mak kat kg, mak kl and ourself. So tonight i can start packing in peace and back to my normal sleeping pattern....i miss my 7-8 hours sleeping time!

Tomorrow we'll break our fast at my mom's house, well my brother is coming back fr KK tomorrow, so it'll be a great time to gather and meet up with everybody before blk kg. Plus i cant wait to show my final piece of work to my mom hehe...the choc cheese cookies that i baked last nite, the recipe looks easy peasy but now i can conclude that would be the very first and the last. sangat leceh dan renyah!

So to all my dear frens out there, those whom i've met face to face, those that only knows me thru blog or chatting, or those yg mmg dah kenal, Salam Aidilfitri and Maaf zahir Batin from the 3 of us. May u all have a safe journey to ur hometown. Drive safely n take care. Raya jemput dtg ke rumah, tapi takde special open house ok :) We'll be in Junjung until 3rd hari raya and back to KL on the 4th.

The final week

My list to-do-things pilling up over the final week but am all excited and gear up to finish up everything on time before we heading to Junjung, Kedah for raya....so here goes the list:

- buat biskut choc chips utk rumah and kg
- buat biskut quaker oats resipi mak - utk umah and kg
- buat biskut cornflakes - utk umah and kg as well
- abiskan individual assignment and slides for presentation - ni pas raya kena antar
- cari acuan, choc rice and dessicated coconut utk buat biskut kat atas tadi, lelain bhn sumer ade dah standby
- kek tayah buat..mak nak buat hehe
- bwk balik resepi muffin ( ni x perlukan tenaga tp perlukan daya ingatan yg kuat haha)
- svc keta ( ni pruzz yg buat :P)
- reload touch n go


eh tu jer kots....tu jer? tu pon dah byk ler tuh, belum campur packing baju and barang2 kitorang and si kecik tu lagi!

Terasa lega sgt bila order biskut sumer dah abis delivered. Terasa spt beban yg tersgt berat melayang ditiup angin :p

Well i still have to work on Saturday (yes the deepavali day) until 3pm, we're running a 24hr center so when it comes to festive season, some of us need to sacrifice to let others to enjoy n celebrate the big day. Im still considered lucky for i can extend my leave the whole week of raya!

Muffin special utk dilla bley buat kat umah mak....so sat nite bleyla rest and concentrate utk kemas-mengemas :)

Ari ni last masak, provisions dah abis...and malas nak beli...so pasnih bley relekskan badan after balik ofis yeye

Syioknyerrr raya! Oh taun ni kami theme coklat ala2 gold :)

Thanks to Pediasure (i guess), Idlan's weight has finally increased to 11.8kg yesterday, that after a stagnant 10kg reading for the last 8-9 months :)

He has finished 5 tins in total, and now he's back to lactogen, until mama and abah shops for our provision at carefourre next week.

Like Aisya and Fawwaz, it looks like the haze has affected idlan as well. He puked after a series of cough since Monday while sleeping, and today he's getting better after a few dose of ventolin and clarytine. Hope we all get well soon and the Indonesia government will be more proactive in coping with the issue, rather than just sitting down and praying for the rain to downpour the earth.

Yesterday we had asam pedas ikan pari yg lazat, thanks to umi for the daun kesum, if not i dont think the taste will be as ummphh as it should be :)

And i got my hubby to buy a piece of cream caramel at bazar ramadhan (kes teringin la ni), and it costed me RM1.50! Mahal seh...and kurang telur plak tuh huhuhu

Idlan is so into carrots and potato lately. I prepared chicken soup for the past few days and he chose to eat only carrots and potato. And like Iman, he can ratah the un-cooked tomato religiously mcm tomato tu sedap giler! (thanx k.tie for the photo, kalo idak sure sy tak tahu idlan suke tomato hehe)

UKM ranked at no 185 out of top 200 universities in the world. However I cant no longer see UM in the list. The top 3 goes to Harvard, Cambridge and Oxford.

the class....

Finally the tiring weekend is over and i can expect the same thing for the forthcoming one.

Overall the class is OK, much better than UPM ( no offend to the upm students ok :p) to be exact. Classmates all are ok, the lecturer is good and knowledgeable, and we all can understand better with lots of real life examples given when she explained on a particular theory.

My first subject is OB - Organisational Behaviour. Its a management subject btw, and i never took it before during my degree. The not so good thing about it is it involves lots of theory, hence requires lots of memorization and application. My first class was bad (it was a straight five-hour class), blame it to my migraine and drowsiness (stay up buat biskut the nite before), i couldnt concentrate and my mind wandered around and at times i did sleep while joting down my notes. But guess what, im amazed with the rest of the class, no one shows any sleepy sign except myself! Second day i was all awake, and the rest of the hours went well and smooth. We did handovered our first group case study, i didnt put much hope to score, we were quite blur but belasah n hentam sajelah labu!

Majority of the class consists of managers, some are project managers for IT co, some are managers from TM, and me, being the youngest of all, obviously im the one having less experience compared to them. One of my groupmate is a lawyer with 2 kids, another one is also a proj manager. The class is very proactive and we were having two-way communications most of the time. Myself...am still coping....am still not giving up my best, perhaps it was because my brain has had a good 4 years rest all this while.

Well, my exam is scheduled on 11th nov, another group case study is to be submitted on 4th nov, individual work paper to be submitted on the 5th, plus a presentation. And the next semester will begin on the 18th....cepat betul habis kan hehehhe bagus bagus!

We got a food packed every saturday, thanx to Rezzen (even tho that already includes inside the fees).

When i reached home, the moment Idlan saw my face, he screamed himself all aloud saying "MAMA MAMA MAMA MAMA" non stop! Adus sedeynyer mama...anak mama miss mama so much eh :) I asked my mum how he's behaving throughout the day, and my mum said he kept on asking mama mama mama? maybe about 10x in a day...and when my mum answered "mama go to work" , he'll forget and play again like usual. Good boy!

Daging Black Pepper

ok tu je entry hari ni...tersangatlah mengantuk ni huhuhu

2nd week of Ramadhan

Today is already 12th Ramadhan, and i've been off for 5 days already. Nightime was spend baking and baking and baking. My oven starts working immediately after the little guy of the house dozes off to sleep. And it usually ends after 5-6 hours of baking per session. So just imagine how many hours on average i can sleep throughout the nite huhu. Lucky i didnt become a zombie at the office :)

Baking is fun, but using a small oven definitely is a mistake. I didnt expect to receive orders as much as i get now but thanks to you guys, my small business has actually materialized :) Thinking of next year, well i must get a bigger oven should the business is to be continued. But i dont know, with loads of assignments, presentations, etc etc, do i still have ample time for baking? even if i squeeze my schedule here n there i dont think i can manage to do that, plus what if we decide to get adik for Idlan? haha ntahler!

My class officially starts on this coming Saturday, after the registration. I feel so cuak, cuak for i dont know anybody inside the class, cuak of thinking what if i've lost the skills of doing assignments/presentations, cuak if i get groupmates that cant cooperate and unmanaged, kesimpulannyer i am cuak with everything!

On top of that, I've already got myself 2 pieces of exercise book, a cheap one with paper cover hehe...and that's it. And ohh the money for registration, well am going to the bank tomorrow to withdraw some amount for it. The scholar result is still pending for approval, but alhamdulillah my name is in the list. So harap-harap they wont be cutting my name off the list last minute.

I am going back to school............walalalla!

p/s: yesterday first time in life i made ikan cencaru goreng belah belakang (cilok resepi ummimon) for our bukak puasa. It was super yummy! And today we'll be having daging black pepper with mushroom sauce...nyum nyummm

Steam bread pudding

Since a few friends also request for this recipe (apart fr those who 'meeboed' me), am posting it here again so check it out.

Steam Bread Pudding yg sempoi!
4-5 slices gardenia - any other brand can also do
1/2 cup susu cair
1/2 cup water
2 eggs - medium sized
1tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup sugar - to make the caramel

The action:
(use big bowl ok)
Beat eggs and sugar till kembang ( i only use fork, not the mixer).
Drop the vanilla essence
Add susu cair and water. Stir till well mixed all the ingredients.
Cerai-ceraikan roti and add into the bowl, tekan-tekan roti till it mixes well and soaked in the mixture.
Finally, bring to a slow heat 6-7 table spoons of sugar (put inside the mould), let it melt till the colour turns brown, off the heat and let it cool.
Tuang your bread mixture inside the mould, cover with aluminium foil, and steam to a medium heat for 25-30 minutes.

-you can also opt to bake if u like!
-if you wanna have thick pudding, add in more bread, susu, water & sugar and adjust it to your instinct :)
- can add raisin, almond or segala tok nenek as u wish too (pruzz suke plain pudding jer)

Ok tu sajer, happy trying peeps!


p/s: pruzz bley habiskan seloyang in 2 days :p his feveret!

(custard sauce kat sebelah tu dah lupa caner nak buat hehe so abaikan)

being in Cyberjaya...

I can imagine the frustration of Menara T* community whenever they come down to the parking lot at 5pm, hurrying board the car, put on the right gear, pijak peddle, and hey the car is moving like bumper to bumper and as your car gets outside the parking lot, another traffic is waiting. That's normal during the month of Ramadhan. I'd experienced that years ago, when i was in Menara. I even experienced broke my fast with sweets only inside the car, but no blame to the traffic, it was me who had to stayback to do financial closing (FMA story, takyahla flashback nanti sedey hehe)

Now things change. Am now in Cyberjaya, a heaven place with no traffic jem whatsoever. Punch out at 5pm and i'll be home at 530pm. Traffic flow is normal, no headache, no shouting, no lawan-lawan hon dgn keta lain, etc. That's another reason why am so determined to cook for our breakfasting instead of hanging around at bazar ramadhan to search for lauk ( the main reason spt biasa we're on kempen berjimat cermat hehe). Last yr we bought lauk at bazar, and i can still remember a piece of chicken costs you RM3, a piece of simple ikan goreng also sold at RM3 (kalau rasa sedap sgt takpe ok, ni biasa jer). Sayur i cant remember, but still mahal rasanyer. Mee goreng, mihun goreng, nasi ayam, beriani ....the price was still considered ok and worth buying.

Oh btw yesterday we didnt wake up for sahur, hence bazar was the choice. Today im back to the track, and we'll be having paprik ayam+sotong+udang+vege plus bread pudding this evening. The pudding was prepared at 3am in the morning! not that am too rajin ppl, i just couldnt sleep after feeding idlan at 230am, hence resulted me going to the kitchen and do something :p I sleep back at 620 and only woke up at 730am, had a quick shower and off to office. Sian idlan tak sempat masak food dia sori sayang!

Happy working ppl!

I can feel my blood running upstairs rite now. Dealing with customers is not that easy, hence when we were sent for training, we see the word “difficult customer”. Why such term exist? It’s because that kind of customer did exist. And they create hassle and so much trouble till you feel like shouting and slamming down the phone but hey, customer is the KING. Can you shout at them? NO you can’t. You must maintain the tone of your voice, lower it to the max even if deep down inside you feel like bloating.

That is customer. Full stop.

But what if the internal person in my company itself that brought the trouble? What if the person refused to co-operate or troubleshoot outage received from customer, claiming that our network is perfect when in fact it is not? I just hate dealing with these types of ppl, who thinks they are so good considering they’ve worked for the co for years. People who think they know ALL.

Oh God, please keep the patience with me.

Hari Pertama dan Kedua

Nampak gaya belum apa-apa lagi dah off track dari jadual asal :p

1 Ramadhan
sahur - kami terbabas, dua-dua tak bangun, aku tido lambat buat biskut, husband tido lambat study utk klas....kunci pukul 430am jam di tutup balik!
buka - nasi ayam dan steam bread pudding - kira balas balik la penangan tak sahur pagi tadi hehe

2 Ramadhan
sahur - nasi ayam semlm, plus telur dadar
buka - tomyam campur seafood+vege yummylicious...msk pas sahur tadi...balik umah panaskan jer, dan goreng french fries/telur dadar sket penambah lauk

Esok, lusa, the day after lusa.....harap2la masih lagi rajin yah yah!

p/s: pediasure @ carrefoure tgh offer...packing baru tutup purple tu RM50.50, biasa rm54.

Menu - minggu pertama

Pertama sekali, Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan kepada kengkawan semua. Alhamdulillah kita masih diberi peluang untuk menghadapi dan menikmati kemanisan bulan ini buat kesekian kalinya pada tahun ini. Semoga amal ibadah kita diberkatiNya, dan semoga kita diberi kekuatan untuk menambah dan mempertingkatkan lagi amalan2 yang dituntut, sama ada yg wajib ataupun sunat. Harapan saya, mintak2lah saya berjaya solat penuh Terawikh, dan membaca Al-Quran sebanyak mungkin.

Antara azam lain, saya ingat nak cuba memaksimakan memasak sendiri di rumah utk sahur/berbuka. Di samping menjimatkan duit, dapat juga pahala ye tak :p Tapi since si suami tersangatla suka makan kuih, maka mungkin kami akan singgah di pasar utk membeli kuih barang seringgit dua, selebihnyer...home made!

Ini menu saya (penat pk hehe), agak simple tapi cukupla utk kami berdua:

Ahad - tomyam campur+telur dadar+sayur
Isnin - ayam masak merah+sayur
Selasa - Mee hailam
Rabu - Sotong kicap+telur dadar+sayur
Khamis - Sambal tumis udang+ikan goreng+sayur
Jumaat - tade idea lagi, mungkin beli hehe
Sabtu - nasi ayam+dessert cream caramel
Ahad - tade idea lagi

Sahur pula, yang confirm first day nanti nasi panas+sardin+telur masak kicap (daku sudah terliur :p)
Hari-hari lain tak pasti lagi, mungkin recycle lauk time berbuka, atau scramble egg, koko crunch, nasi goreng, mee goreng, etc etc....

Harap2 plan kali ni menjadi...taun lepas prestasi agak kurang memberangsangkan, maka taun ni kena cuba pertingkatkan lagi ewahh. Petang ni kami akan ke careffoure utk membeli segala provisions yg diperlukan.

So Selamat Berpuasa semua. Kerja rajin2 ok!

p/s: order biskut raya ditutup pd 1st week puasa ok...tq.

Life will change :p

accident

Dpt call mlm tadi dr abang informed yg adik kitorang accident ptg kelmarin. Aku tanye teruk ke..abg aku jwb, adela patah sket2, skang kat emergency ward. Aku terkejut plak, terus tanyer..koma ke weh? Abg aku jwb..tadela sampai koma...(sambil tergelak-gelak).

Rupanye adik patah sebtg gigi kapak, gigi kapak satu lagi patah separuh. Bibir bengkak kena jahit. Bila ditanye camner berlaku exactly, dia tak brape igt..dia cuma kata dia naik motor, nak elak lori, then tergesel wira, and jatuh.

Hmm skang tgh mkn soft food, jaw dia bengkak teruk...tp mujur tak patah sana-sini alhamdulillah.

Nasihat aku, kpd bebudak di luar sana yg baru dpt lesen, bwk motor tu berhati-hati, jgn ikut darah muda, kalo accident ke ape ke...mak ayah jugak yg penat ke hulu hilir menjaga dan sebagainyer........sigh*

Adik tuh baru je balik kl sabtu lepas cuti seminggu, patutnyer ahad ni balik KK balik, ni dah jadi camni..ntah kot postpone balik sana..........

of latest updates (part II)

Khas kpd pembaca2 yg merindui daku (ahaksss), maka saya postkan entry terbaru dari cyberjaya....:)

- kenape tak update? malas satu, byk keje satu, pastuh malas nak reka ayat one thing...itula sebabnyer

Idlan:
1. Last wk kami bawa dia ke Damansara Specialist Hosp, sbb batuk dia prolong seminggu lebih, plus sesema hampir sebulan. Alhamdulillah paed cum chest pyhsician Dato' Dr Azizi tu ckp dada idlan ok, cumanyer disebabkan idlan mmg ade allergy and eczema, tu pasal la allergy tu trigger ke hidung sampai hingus lelama tuh. Dua hari lepas mkn ubat dr, idlan dah ok (dia nak ubat memahal hehe, kat klinik takde ubat tuh). Doc prescribe ventolin, clarytine and UV cream utk sapu kat tpt2 yg naik rashes. Dr pesan jgn kasi mkn kicap, vitagen, yakult, dan segala jenis makanan yg ade preservative. Dlm erti kata lain, masaklah fresh food utk dia. Nak kasik ayam, kasi ayam fresh, jgn kasik nugget..gitula lebey kurang. Plus dia ade eczema, of which kitorang sendiri susah nak detect ape sebenarnyer yg trigger dia nyer allergy. Kadang dia mkn telur ok, kadang naik rashes..sames goes to ayam, etc....cumanyer skang kena lebey berhati-hati. Dan paling penting, masak FRESH FOOD ONLY! Btw, dr puji mama idlan hehe...sbb so far mama dia mmg msk makanan sendiri, cuma kena kurangkan kicap. So pasni msk spaghetti, tak bubuh dah tomato sos and kicap, instead aku guna olive oil and fresh tomatoe. Masak sup, jgn guna chicken/beef stock..gunala bwg putih dan halia bebyk...biar sume natural takde preservative langsung.

2. Disebabkan berat bdn idlan dah lama tak bertambah (10kg++ since 1thn 2 bln), kitorang decide tukar ke Peadiasure...sbb ade ofismate kata anak dia pon tak mkn byk, minum susu tu jer, tp tembam yg amat....saje la try kot bley menambahkan berat idlan. Aku pon dah rimas bila umi asyik ckp..."siannyer umi tgk idlan kurus sesgt". Pressure beb pressure arghhh ...padahal makanan msk everyday dah cuba varietykan..tp dah mmg dia jenis tak pemakan..tak larat nak paksa dah frustrated pon ader. Poket koyak sket sbb tukar susu mahal tp idlan nyer pasal...ape sahaja hehe....baru abis setin, tade effect pon, tgk next tin camner..kalo takde effect gak, ohh selamat tinggal Pediasure. Btw Dr Azizi tu kata, peadiasure tu harap je mahal, tp senarnyer tak membantu sgt pon, except dia nyer kalori lebey sket from susu biasa yg murah2 tuh..ntahla...tgkla camner kan. And yg membuat aku tersenyum sket, doc kata anak awak ni kurus sbb genetik ni...hehe mama terperasan sekejaps!

3. Idlan dah nak masuk 1thn 9bln tak lama lagi. Vocab dia masih kurang lagi, yg paling jelas sebutan mama, abah, dog, nanana (banana), bobob (spongebob), papada (papaya), abang...tu je kot tapi tu pon dah cukup memberangsangkan pd kami. Seronok hati bila dgr bgn pagi jek sebut "mama mama mama"....lembut plak tu sebutannyer comei jer

Financial:
Spt julie, kitorang pon tgh lancar kempen berjimat cermat (walaupun kekadang aku terbabas). Loan umah dah kena bayar mahal, gaji tak naik, so camner tuh? Skang tgh berusaha utk masak sendiri kat umah. Berjaya bwk bekal ke ofis sekali sekala, tp kadang tu tak berjaya sbb bgn lamat hoho. Tapi bulan pose ni kena mendisiplinkan diri utk msk sendiri caiyo caiyo! Dan kena tahan diri tak pegi JJ Equine tu every weekend. Susah gak bila umah dekat sgt ngan tpt shopping, asyik tempted je nak pegi..demmm

Taun ni jugak berazam nak buat biskut raya sendiri, biskut pertama dah ade dlm list..insya allah sedap hehe, tgh cari resepi2 lain yg best.

Diri:
Insya Allah aku akan proceed jugak master kali ni, walaupun nanti kalau tak dpt scholar, kena korek savings utk teruskan. Kalo Aini bakal pakai jubah UIA, aku plak bakal konvo kat utara...waaaa jauh tu beb hehe bley terbabas shopping ke Langkawi terus ahakss....(dah berangan jauh, padahal blum register pon lagi :p)

Lagi satu, lately aku senang benar kena migrain, kadang tu tak semena-mena sakit pala, padahal mkn cukup, tido cukup...ntahla ape jadi....perlu ke jumpe specialist eh..takut plak, tapi malas nak pk hoho. So slalunyer rely pd ponstan jela.

of latest updates

Answering to ummimon's question, am still here. Everything's fine, except works pilling up not as usual :p
(in other words, jadik busy bee kejaps hehe)

Idlan still wakes up at nite, min 2x..max could go up to 4 times. We found ourselves getting immune to that already. Ever since he borned until now, he never failed to wake up, except once, but it was only for a few days. Then the routine continues. He eats porridge around 630-730pm, and usually sleeps at 8-830pm. So early isnt it? and oh he takes 70z of milk before doze off to sleep.

Am lucky that we takes turn to prepare milk (thanks sayang!). As for me, once i wake up at nite, it'll takes time for me to get back to sleep. Hence sometimes you find me performs solat isyak at 2am, or turn on the washing machine at 330am, folds the clothes, or washing the dish, also around that time. The result, i become laloks at the office. Tapi kejap je, after getting the tune i am 100% READY for work again :p

Idlan's nearing 21mo soon. His interest in books and animals grows bigger. We actually quite amaze to find him never gets bored to ask us to keep on repeating and reading the same old story in a day. His first book is The Ugly Duckling, and until now he remembers each character inside the book. Now is Pinocchio time...esok lusa kena cari buku lain (kitorang yg dah bosan sebenarnyer ulang2 benda yg sama hehe). He becomes extra manja nowadays, dunno why. Not defensive of himself, hence leaving him got bitten twice by the same 1 yo kid and left bekas until now...pity him. Am not sure how to teach him to become more aggressive, defensive and the likes...he's just too delicate huhu.

Our house, well we still do not know exactly when we can move in. Pending with CF. Hopes by the end of the yr bolehlah masuk.

Okla hv to get back to work..till then!

Anak teruna lately bangun mlm average 4 kali utk minum susu! Kalah baby-baby bawah setahun kots :p
Abah ngan mama dah macam zombie kat opis....


Rgds,
(mama yg tgh lalok dan mengantuks)

The trip

(suppose to be yesterday's entry tapi blogger slow yg amat semlm)

Finally im back to office. But suprisingly this time it wasnt that hard to wake up early and resume the daily chores as before. Its been four days since i last prepared idlan's porridge, and this morning it feels good to cook for him again (after 4 consecutive days we fed him with bubur ayam mc D ehhehe)!

The trip? hmm it wasnt that good in the beginning, felt very upset and tired, just too tired to handle idlan's God-only-knows-why tantrums. Be it at the airport, before we depart, inside the plane, after landed at kk...god im just too tired till i felt like staying at hotel and sleep throughout the day doing nothing. He refused to walk, refused to sit, the only thing he wants is for mama to carry him all the time. No gilir-gilir with tok, tok wan, mak ude or even his abah! He behaves nicely inside the hotel room, jumping and running here n there, but the moment we stepped out of the room, dunno what happen all he wants is dukung dukung and dukung! My body ached all over, my pinggang and belakang running flat, at times i did put him down, left him crying and ignore him...but you know ppl might be staring at me saying what a bad mama i am (hoho) so basically i got no choice, still have to carry him around...:(

DAY 1
We stayed at Zaharah Hotel Apartment, same place with Promenade, but under different management. The best thing is, we get cheaper price than promenade. The room is ok, equipped with kitchen cab some more (kekonon nak masak seafood tp tak larat pon :p), its just the toilet tiles looks a bit old and usang.
Arrived KK around 1245, headed straight to hotel, had Mc D as our lunch and rest. Evening came, we went for a stroll near the sea/waterfront, had a quick peek inside the center point and went back empty handed. Dinner time we had tosei and fried mee at mamak stall nearby. The tosei, together with its dhal and curry seriously finger licking good hehe

DAY 2
KK time is one hr earlier than KL, so there at 6am is already terang benderang. We took heavy breakfast i.e nasi lemak that morning, and our journey to kundasang begins as early as 830am. Lucky we made a wise decision to engage local ppl, to be specific En Shamsul as our tour guide. If not i dont think we manage to get to kundasang on time. Before that we stopped at UMS and masjid terapung to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taking pics. Arrived at kinabalu park around 12++. Saw some ppl including mat salleh with their 'tongkat hikmat', assuming they just came down from their mission of conquering the mount kk. Weather is extremely cold, with the strong wind blows sehingga mencucuk2 tulang. Taking pics is a must, but quite disappointing for we couldnt see the peak clearly due to bad weather. From there we went down to Ranau town for lunch, before checked in at TM Resort Kundasang. After lepak-lepak and having enough rest, called En Shamsul to pick us up for a visit to Pot Spring. Such a serene and tranquil place, with trees everywhere, and yes it also has jambatan gantung but not that scary to cross over :) The pot spring is different from Kolam Air Panas in Baling, Kedah where it has many small and separate hot ponds available for visitors to rendam their kaki inside. But we didnt try any, malas nak tukar2 baju plus its getting dark at that time. After taking pics (as usual), moved to several souvenir stalls outside, MIL bought some pearl bracelets. On our back to resort, stopped by at a night market in Ranau, hubby tried their nasi kuning/kunyit, and we took away KFC as dinner.

Night time, i had difficulty to sleep, due to the sounds of heavy wind blowing outside. The sound....huhuh so scary, cam bunyi org pompuan wailing camner ntah cam hantu hehe. But at last tertido jugak tu pon penat paksa diri :) And oh we were so unfortunate, water heater at the resort went kaput, and the water is no way like the normal water, its as cold as an ice. Amik air semayang terketar-ketar ggrrrgrgrgrgrrr

DAY 3
Early in the morning, managed to get a sight of mount kk's peak even tho its been surrounded by heavy mist. Starts the day by going to town to get some vege and fruits sold nearby the roadside. And thanx so much to B and mak for the flowers (celebrated my besday in Sabah this year hehe). Flowers are cheaper than cameron, so as the vege. Next En Shamsul brought us to shops selling local crafts, which is at Pekan Nabalu. There we got very good deal, and thanx to our Mr Bargain i.e my hubby...he's really good in doing that! We bought kain pua, kayu to hang the kain, frigde magnet and t-shirts. Our next destination is Kota Belud, to visit ayah's long time college friend. Been served scrumptious and wide array of lauk pauk including telur penyu (of which i dare not try hehe). Arrived back in KK town around 2++ and we straight away went to the phillipines market. Shopping sakan there (mak la...myself shopping biasa2 jer), again mr bargain managed to get us brooch, kain pua, bracelet and many more at such a good price. Habis shopping, back to Zaharah hotel to check in and sleep.

Evening came, we initially planned to go and have seafood dinner at Gayang or Tg Aru beach but the weather didnt permit us to do so. Heavy rain plus ribut sket2, due to ribut in phillipines if we were not mistaken. Hence we just had fried chicken rice from another mamak stall nearby the hotel.

DAY 4
Still rain in the morning, but that didnt stop us to go and had our last min shopping at phillipines market. Get another few sets of brooch, bracelet, etc...balik hotel packing and off to airport around 1230. Arrived KL nearly 5pm, stopped at masjid dengkil to perform our solat, and menjamu perut at Malee, the ever famous spot for tomyam (sape taknah try tomyam malee, silalah pegi, dijamin sedap gilers).

Ok tu la saje citer trip kali ni...got no time to describe in details. Pics will be uploaded later.

checklist

1] My little tiny note book done progressively well so far, i've practically never miss to put every single things i've spent since the beginning of week. And doing this way i can see the expenses are much more controlled than before :))
2] Idlan has recovered from the fever alhamdulillah. Hope he's stable and ok for the trip.
3] We still havent pack for the trip, thanx to the laziness. Must drag myself to start packing tonite else we might miss out something... as usual :p
4]To go to pasar mlm this evening to get some chicken, meat and vege. Not that i've become extra rajin this week but my mil,fil and sil are coming tomorrow, surely i must prepare something right?
5]To bake the chocolate cake using home-made flour mix given by my aunt long long ago (say 4-5 months back) before it reaches the expiry date :p
6] To clean and kemas all the guest rooms, can hardly remember when did the last time we cleaned up the rooms ...sigh*
7] To book a car for our trip to kundasang. A Wira already costs you about RM120, that is the cheapest i can get so far, so expensive isnt it?
8] To adjust myself for a more proper meal time, especially breakfast. And to make it compulsory to have a cup of milo/hot drink in between lunch and tea time.

the second attack

Tanpa disangka-sangka, selasa lepas lagi sekali aku kena attack gastrik. Tapi kali ni attack lebih teruk, start kena pukul 3.30pm kot, completely recover esok harinya iaitu Rabu lepas zohor. Time kena attack tu, dah terasa sesak dada, nafas tercungap-cungap, dan aku terus lari ke toilet sbb dah rasa loya nak muntah, tapi tak keluar. Last2 pegi lepak surau, menahan sakit. Tapi still tak lega, at last call pruzz mintak dia dtg (air mata dah kuar time tuh huhu). Terus lari pegi klinik, sampai klinik tak sempat nak register, terus muntah kat toilet. Abis sepinggan nasi paprik lunch tadi kuar. Doc cuma kasik ubat, aku mintak jab, dia takmo kasik lagi, dia soh mkn ubat dulu. So as per advised, telanla ubat...termasuk ubat tahan muntah. Tak lama lepas tu, muntah balik. Habis kuar isi perut termasuk ubat. Bila tak tahan sgt, ajak pruzz pegi klinik lagi, mintak jab. Doc kasik luckily. Tapi nampak gaya jab pon tak jln, rasa lega sekejap jer, lepas tu sakit yg amat balik. Badan mmg dah lemah sesgt, mungkin dehydrated, nak mkn mmg tak lalu, sbb mkn sket terus muntah. Dan yg lebih haru, idlan plak tetiba demam petang tu. Mlm tu mmg langsung tak larat nak jaga idlan, harapkan abahnyer la tolong jaga. Mujur demam dia tak tinggi sgt..tapi sian dia mama langsung tak larat nak layan dia. Aku cuma terbaring jer tahan sakit, last2 tertido dgn perut yg kosong dan sakit yg teramat.

Esoknyer, masih belum lega, pi klinik mintak jab lagi skali, doc kasik mc. Balik rumah terus tido sampai lepas zohor. Alhamdulillah bgn tido hilang segala sakit. Barula dpt mkn, isi perut yg mmg dah kosong tu ( in total aku muntah 8x kot). Tgh hari abah amik idlan dari nursery, sian idlan demam masih ade sket2, mujur badan masih aktif, still boley jerit2 lagi.

Aku rasa macam fobia plak bila kena gastrik ni, lebih rela kalo kena migrain atau diarrhea atau sakit perut daripada kena gastrik. Sakitnyer mmg takleh tahan, sesak dada tu yg paling horror, rasa tak cukup nafas. Lepas ni mmg kena lebih berwaspada, mkn kena on time, no delay whatsoever, takleh mkn extra pedas/masam, etc....(dahla feveret aku tomyam huk huk)

........hopefully idlan dah ok today....kalo idak abisla plan pi sabah next week huhu

1]Outing ke Alamanda kelmarin adalah outing yg terpenat dlm sejarah. Kuar rumah pukul 130pm, balik around 5 lebey. Kenape penat? Sebab almost sepanjang masa (minus waktu lunch hr) Idlan mintak berdukung je kerja..nak dukung ngan mama jer plak tu, takmo abah langsung. Ntah ape dah jadi ngan mood dia....Kalo next week pi sabah macam ni jugak perangainyer, mahu flat mama. No wonder mama sakit belakang...aduhai anak kenapela malas berjln plak sekarang ni yer???

2]Tiba-tiba kelmarin kami baru sedar yg start dari bulan ni loan rumah dah kena bayar RM1K++ (kami amik fixed loan)...adus budget habis lari lintang-pukang. Dgn sabahnyer lagi, dgn nak service ketanyer lagi, aduh lahai nyesal plak shopping last week :p

3] In lieu with that, mama nak start balik praktis zaman dulu-dulu, yakni tulis setiap butir perbelanjaan harian dlm buku nota :))) Kena keep track balik budget, no more shopping for unnecessary thingy mingy ok!

am tired

Things are pretty hectic in the center. With the conflict amongst the staff, with the memo issue received by one of our senior sent by our 'beloved' customer accusing him/her being rude throughout their conversation, some more with the staff shortage issue that seems to getting nowhere and whats not. Huish pening pening, for god's sake the center was established in July 2004, now its been two yrs ++ already yet very little things changed. Ntahla ape nak jadi...

Forget about work, my little darling at home recently loves driving us up to the wall, with his crying-for-no-reason till vomitting, with his temper, with his lack of interest on any foods, with his sudden poor bowel movement ..memacam lagilah. I found myself stuck of thinking what kind of food i need to prepare and pack to nursery. Everything prepared ends up being throwed into the dustbin. Lucky he still wants to eat porridge that they prepared at nursery, if not anak terunaku akan bertambah kurus lah jawabnyer :(

Oh by the way i've done with shopping on his share for the upcoming raya puasa. Except for the baju melayu of which am still thinking whether to get a new one for him or not...considering he only wore the previous yr baju once, that was during pagi raya, then the baju was safely kept inside the drawer untouch (sungguh tak berbaloi isnt it?) You all might be asking, isnt it too early to shop for raya? me also think the same, but the temptation is just too strong to be resist haha. Plus the megasale banner and tag all inside our local newspaper, ads on tv and the likes. Oh how i wish my hubby could snatch my cc and hide it somewhere and acts as if he knows nothing when i ask him :) But the good part is i dont have any debit balance ok, am really a good girl rite (and i used to be an accountant once upon a time ago :p)...its just that i would be far better off if i could get rid of this habit of buying unnecessary clothes for my baby. Bad habit really ish ish.

I've finished Sophie Kinsella's Confession of a Shopaholic. Superb story, that i believed does happen in reality. Pls pls just go and get the book, its highly recommended ok! Serius boley ilang tension kalo baca :p But am nobody compared to becky in the book, she really done well in shopping hehe!

Cant wait for our KK trip this coming august, cepatla cuti, dah bosan keje, muak pon ader huhuhu. And yes my sil is coming back, and shes bringing back kinsella's collection...and not forgetting idlan's new shoe...argh tak sabarnya :)))

Emm to ummimon@ktie, take care and we hope iman and kakak gets better soon! Idlan sends his regards to the both of them :)

tetiba terasa diri bz...memacam benda kena buat dlm masa terdekat:

-bz isi borang scholar, dptkan komen bos, cop, bla bla bla...masa dptkan sign GM, GM kasik jampi sket, insya allah boley dpt dia kata ...:) hehe amin
-bz isi borang apply U
-bz ngan 5S
-bz blajar voip
-dan...setelah melihat Suria, rupanye aku berjaya tak cuti dari bulan June sampai skarang...amazing! Kalo idak every month sure mesti ada cutila, urgent la, mc la...wahh kagum!

Anak teruna alhamdulillah sihat walafiat, buang stool pon makin aktif kekadang sampai 3x sehari..mungkin penangan Ribena kots hehe. Atuk dia kata semakin nakal, well last week lepak seharian kat umah nek umi dan atuk kat ampang. Petang tu atuk tetiba rajin, masakkan mee hailam utk kitorang 5 beranak satu-satu...lauk-pauk byk plak tu ade udang, ayam, telur, sayur etc etc...dan idlan plak dgn tak malunyer menyendeng-nyendeng mintak mee dari pinggan atuk, walaupun time tu mama pon tgh suap dia. Hm makin manja dan rapat ngan nek umi dan atuk nyer bagus! Dan hari tu juga, cousin idlan si hana dtg lepak sama, dan seperti yg mama dah agak dari awal, sure hana akan tertarik ngan belon The Incredible idlan. Dan terjadilah perebutan dan tragedi air mata antara mereka berdua hehe...cumanyer dua-dua berebut secara baik dan tidak ganas...bagus :) No gaduh-gaduh ok!

exhausting weekend

Hari Sabtu lepas, Taman Sutera (bakal tmn kami) mengadakan pesta jualan amal, dan hasil jualan dimasukkan ke dlm tabung surau baru kami. Kitorang decide nak contribute sket, makanya selepas berdiscuss kitorang set nak jual muffin. Friday nite tuh, projek bakar-membakar dijalankan. Start membakar pukul 9mlm, rite after idlan tido. Dan settle bakar pukul 3.45am...penat tak? hehe pinggang flat, badan pon lenguh satu badan. Total muffin yg dibakar around 110 biji kots....setengah jual kat tmn sutera, setengah lagi nak contribute pd majlis mkn2 aka final gathering utk students pruzz ptg sabtu tu...balance sket2 kitorang 3 beranak mkn. Kepada jiran2 kami sebelah rumah, ampun maaf dipinta kalo kami wat bising tgh2 mlm tu, bising bangat mixer tu, sori eh..terimala muffin kami sebagai balasan kebisingan di mlm tu :p

Alhamdulillah dgr citer muffin sold out, kpd kak zira, kak fifah and kak shima, tima kasih kerana sudi jualkan muffin kitorang. Sori kitorang tak dpt stay lelama, ptg tu ada majlis lain plaks. Sempat jugak pegi jenguk rumah, sumer nampak ok, cuma wiring tak complete lagi...CF bilalah ko nak kluar yer??? Kami nak celebrate besday idlan kat rumah baru, baik cepat2 dpt CF!

Ahad, seperti biasa kitorang yg mmg tak tegar duk kat rumah decide utk kluar ke JJ...saje jln2 cari lunch, plus ari tuh ade Barney punyer show...saje bwk idlan kot dia suke...tp malangnyer idlan tade perasaan pun bila tgk Barney tu nyanyi and dance atas stage tu..hehe idlan suke The Incredibles je :p Lepas shopping sket2 brg dapur, kitorang balik umah..penat semlm still tak ilang.

Ptg tu, mood rajin dtg menjelma, makanyer aku try resepi sweet bun yg beli kat kedai Yen. Mujur bun menjadi, pruz kata sedap, cuma rupanye kureng sket hehe...next time kena carik jln supaya bun sedap, dan rupanyer lawa!

OK sekian perjalanan weekend kami..apelah plak citer next weekend eh...tgh pk ape nak buat hehe...

Idlan and The Incredibles

Idlan:
- Inilah belon Incredibles saya
- Mama beli minggu lepas kat Alamanda
- Saya memang saaaayang sangat kat belon ni tak tahula kenapa.
- Bangun pagi, terus cari the incredibles. Malam tadi tido, tangan saya masih tak lepas incredibles. Kiranya memang saya tengah giler la kat incredibles nih.
- Tiap2 pagi pegi nursery, saya tak lupa bawa the incredibles masuk kereta. Tapi bila sampai nursery teka apa jadi???
- Apa? Abah rampas incredibles saya? Abah tak kasik bwk pegi nursery. Kejamnyer abah!
-Dan saya akan menangis sedih giler bila belon dirampas huhuhu

Abah/mama: Takleh bwk belon gi nursery la sayang. Nanti kengkawan main, takut rosak ke ape ke. Ha kalo rosak sape nak bertanggungjawab? Nak suruh mama beli lagi? oh tidak tidak hehehe

Ok sekian cerita terkini dari saya, Muhammad Idlan Farhan.

the newly-proposed judicial system

AG has made a new proposal to bring back the juror system to our current practice in handling court cases. Some shows their support, the others show defiance to the proposal. And myself? I guess there are points worth deep consideration before we agreed to continue such practice.

The decision to leave one's life in the hands of the laymen is such a big thing. Not only the laymen does not have adequate background and knowledge in legal matters, but that also means massive costs involve in acquiring the appropriate person to act as jurors. Being a juror, you must be impartial, must deliver verdict based on facts and not driven by emotional sentiments. Such a huge responsibility isnt it? However, appointing them will also means we can eliminate some corrupt practice amongst the professional, i.e lawyers and judges. They are outsiders, have no relation with the person being charged, hence they can view and weigh the evidence nicely, without external influence. But things definitely change if they were offered bribes. Am not sure whether the proposed system is similar like the one used in UK, whereby jurors being secluded and disallow contact with their families/anyone during the whole court trials.

Well lets just see what happen next, whatever it is i hope it'll be the best practice that can be think of, for the benefit of all. Most important thing, the convicted gets what they deserve, the innocents get free, and the trials duration being held at a much shorter period than what we're having right now.

p/s: cepatla pukul 530pm hehe

the weekend's story

As usual, there must be outing during weekend, if not the weekend feels incomplete :p

We made our first move to JJ Equine, well a place that was like our second home nowadays hehe. The main intention is to find a mixer, my very own mixer! ...and also a thermopot to replace our exhausting and wear-out thermos. So after extensive survey and much deliberation inside the jusco home center, we decided not to get any of it. None caught our attention. We left jusco and headed to Alamanda. It was quite surprising to see many ppl in alamanda, well we thought the numbers are reducing considering the newly-opening JJ not far away fr putrajaya. But we were wrong though. After penat berjln2, we brought home a mixer, my very own mixer finally, thanks B sayang awak! And not forgetting some groceries, and 2 ballons for Idlan. The first one costs me RM3, i bought it just to please and persuade him not to mengamuk since he was already too sleepy and exhausted. The second one was a ballon with The Incredibles printed on it. Well he is so loves with the incredibles lately, i initially haunted for the anak patung or t-shirts but none was avail, yg ada cuma ballon. That costs me another RM3.90, but i tell u, he is so sayangggg the ballon, so tak sia-sia mama beli tuh hehe. We cancelled our haunting for the thermopot, considering the fact that the power must always-on in order for the water to maintain hot. Buying that means another extra cost for our electricity, hence we'll resort to the normal one later.

im going out to kedai Yen later this afternoon to get some muffin mix for the upcoming bakar-membakar project :) Oven dah ada, mixer baru dah ade, so projek lama kena dihidupkan kembali yeye

mix jumbo updates

Ramai kengkawan skang tgh celebrate durian runtuh yg diterima kelmarin. Saya? ohh org yg malas dan berfikiran negative spt saya mmg tak dpt apa-apa. Mmg langsung tak mengeluarkan setitik peluh utk menjual, hatta serves u right la kan :p Mulut nganga jela huhu.

Anak terunaku semlm sekali lagi menguji kesabaran, dua kali ditepis mangkuk bubur, habis separuh isi tumpah, mama and abah tinggi suara, dia merajuk. Tp rajuknya sekejap, dan mujur habis jugak bubur tu, kalau idak sure mama mkn hati lagik hehe

Kami tgh test kasi dia Yakult sbb lately bowel movement dia not so good. Dah beberapa hari dia membuang stool time tgh tido lena waktu mlm..sian baby mama. Bila kasik Yakult, seronok bukan main dpt pegang sendiri, tp dia suke benar main masuk kuar straw, kekadang tumpah yakult tu, bila marah, terus dia mrajuk.

Nampak gaya lately anak teruna dah pandai merajuk. Pantang naik suara sket, dia akan merajuk. Merajuk style dia, nangis olok-olok gegiler punyer kuar air mata, buat batuk-batuk, sampai kekadang tu tersedak dan paling teruk, sampai muntah. So terpaksala kami pujuk cecepat, takut dia batuk2 dan muntah. Sampai tahap cegitu skali rajuknyer, manelah baby mama blajar isk isk

On a positive note, dia dah pandai undress separuh badan, i.e bukak sluar bila nak mandi. Cukup suke bila dgr perkataan 'mandi'. Bukak baju masih tak pass, masih stuck kat certain parts hehe

Utk enhance kan dia punyer ability to recognize objects/animals, kami beli satu kertas besar yg kaler warna warni yg ade bebyk gambar tuh (ape aar nama benda ni takleh nak pk plak), and tampal tepi tangga. So everyday akan tanya dia, where is chicken, where is bird bla bla bla. At times sumer yg kami tanye, sumer dia tunjuk betul. At times byk plak yg salah. Hish konfius mama hehe.

apa ada dgn weekend?

Idlan had his 1.5yo jab last saturday..alhamdulillah he's ok till now, no fever whatsoever. Somebody told us long ago that whenever we're about to take our kids for immunisation, must give ubat demam first before going to clinic. We took that as practice and it works with idlan..and of course with Allah's will as well. We spent a nite at Umi's on saturday, so that idlan got the chance to play and have fun to the max with pak su. Well it's going to be his last day with pak su before pak su's departure to KK for study. To adik, all the best, our pray will be with u alwayz, study smart, tk care, and we luv u, and idlan gonna miss u sooo the very much :p Not sure if idlan can still remember u when u're back for hari raya three months ahead hehe

Talking about their bonding and relationship, we all are still confuse as how and what brings them to be so close. Idlan seems to admire him so much, ke mana pak su pegi, idlan akan ikut. Pak su breakfast depan tv, idlan duk kat sofa tepi pak su, watching him closely, sambil menyendeng-nyendeng. Minum susu, lentok tepi pak su. Pak su kluar nak pegi blajar driving, idlan nak nangis ikut. Heran sungguh kitorang, pak su mcm ade satu daya tarikan istimewa :p Pasnih dtg umah umi, sure idlan terasa ketiadaan pak su kat umah. That night we had dinner outside, celebrating pak su yg dah nak pegi next week. And the dinner was on me, si kakak yg baik hati hehe. Idlan behave all the night, at times he sat nicely inside the baby chair, eating his mushroom soup and fries. But tots of his age, nak ke duk lelama? Sudah tentu tidak hehe. Bila dia dah bosan, kitorang kluarkan dia dr baby chair tuh. Memula dia jln ke hulu hilir, as of inspecting the place. Then pegi dr satu meja ke meja, tgk org makan (malunyer mama hehe). Bila bosan lagi, dia start tolak kusi tu dr utara ke selatan. Mujur tak langgar meja org lain :)

Kelmarin, dr umah umi kami ke keramat, melawat my offismate yg baru discharge dr gleneagles, buat minor op kat lutut. Syiok auntie aida eh, mc 2 minggu, extendable lagik tuh hehe...get well soon aida! Idlan biasala, memula senyap giler, sebijik perkataan pon tak kuar dr mulut. Time dah nk balik baru dia warm up sket, tu pon bila dia ternampak mangkuk auntie aida yg cun melecun, penuh ngan biji bulat2 warna warni tu. Ape lagi, idlan pon kuarkan la satu persatu biji2 tuh, kuar masuk kuar masuk. Last2 time nk blk, idlan amik satu biji wat kenangan hehe..thanks eh aida. Balik umah, 3 beranak terbongkang kepenatan. Then buat laundry 2 trip sampai penuh ampaian. Petang, sudah terasa bosan..makanye abah pon suggest pegi JJ, maklumlah..dekat sesgt cuma 4 minit sahaja minyak pon tak terjejas akakka....so jln2 cari mkn kat jj. Idlan berjaye dpt sebiji belon dr uncle clown. Lepas dinner kat fudcot, kitorang pon balik...time tu baru kol 840pm. Bila nak sampai rumah, tgk2 idlan dah tertido atas riba mama...belon masih dipegang lagi. Isk cian baby mama kepenatan berjln seharian eh!

1] We went to PD for a short cuti-cuti mesia last saturday for a simple father's day celebration. More story, simply visit our fotopage The holiday was indeed superb!

2] I took leave on monday, and after sending idlan to nursery, we made visits to several kitchen and bath shops, mainly for survey, but ended up buying hood+hose, 3-burner hob, and 2 remote fans. And becoz of the good bargain, we only spent less than 2k :)

3] Trapped at TTC for a 2-day Internal Audit course. Met Semah and Farrah there, and managed to catch up lots of things. The course was good despite the boring and dreary environment inside the classroom, well no blaming on the trainer, it was us who didnt participate much :p

4] and guess what, yesterday i was stranded for 2.5hrs inside the car, due to the heavy rain plus flooded roads in few areas. 2.5hrs journey from ttc to seri kembangan was indeed a record, i doubt if somebody out there can ever challenge my record :p Initially i took the mrr2 route, but upon looking there was no movement, heavy crawl and long queues, i did a u-turn and took the sg besi route. Well, that also didnt help much. Sampai kat upm, again i made another u-turn after seeing cars trapped in flood. The last decision of using cyberjaya route was the prudent choice ever made on the day. Penat sungguh makcik!
