acca...the flashback :p

5.15pm - received call from Halim. The moment he screamed at my name, i can clearly imagined her joyful face and he sounded sooo and extremely terribly happy over something. I asked him "kenape happy sgt ni?" And he replied ..."teka la teka la cepatttt".

And the one and only thing that came across my mind would be of course....hmm mesti pasal ACCA nih!

So i guess.....
"ko dah pass ACCA ker Halim?"
And he said....
"A'ahhhh Yati A'aaaaahhh!!!!" (dgn teramat kuatnyer)
Then he continued...
"Yati, thanks eh selama ni support aku sume nih..."
i said...
eh aku mane ader buat pepe pon utk kau...
he replied...
ala kan kite dulu sama2 nak jadik CPA, sama2 pegi register pegi bayar sumer tuh...aku mane lupa org2 yg mula2 berjuang sesama nak amik acca nih hehe...

me: hehehe gelak je la

So there he goes...passing the ACCA means another episode of nightmare in his life is over - no more text books, tight classes and schedules, tonnes of assignments, etc etc....what a bliss! As his friend, as his ex-thesismate, as his ex-classmate, and as his ex-acca mate, of course i feel proud for him. He has gone thru one of the toughest obstacle for someone who wanted to be the CPA...though ACCA might only be the initial phase, but it was indeed a good start!

Flashing back on the old memories, i can still remember the six of us - mafus, halim, elly, rahimi, zarid and i...we all wanted to have our own big 5 accounting firm. With all of us having the CPA title, we were very sure at that time that we'll be having great success and able to build our own empire and name in the accounting arena in our country. But now, i guess the dream will just remain as a dream. It cant be turned into reality. If it can, then the partner inside the corporation definitely will change. There'll be no more myself inside there. Obviously am not qualified to be part of them. Elly? She also has decided not to pursue his acca. Zarid and rahimi..both of them successfully have completed their MBA. Hence, the dream can only be realized by Halim and Mafus, they are the only two that can be depended upon to pursue the dream.

Halim used to keep on asking me this kind of question, his favourite one actually...ko betul ke takmo amik acca yati? kalo takmo acca pon, amikla master...rugi tau yati...rugi segala ilmu2 yg ko ader dulu tuh.
And my default answer would be, ntahla halim....acca konfem takmo amik dah, master tunggu la dulu.

So here i am now, picking up calls as a call center agent, and is still learning to master in the parenthood and babies thing. Am i happy? hehe the answer is definitely YES! Regret of quitting my acca? My answer is definitely NO! :)))

To Halim and Mafus, chaiyo chaiyo chaiyo chaiyo!!!

Restructuring..the second one!

We in contact center 1090 just received our new appointment letter, some were transfered out of 1090, some goes to other units under same division, and some stays. Myself stays here (sigh with relief :P) and we'll be having a major re-opt internally. If previously all of us are doing the same job of handling fault complaints from TMWS customer, now we'll be segregating ourselves according to the original plan of establishing this center - fault complaints, sales order & enquiry and billing complaints. And me if some of u can already predict, will be doing billing things after this huhuhu...

To start of with the plan, me and the other 2 colleagues sitting in the billing function will be having discussions and meetings with Finance Wholesale to identify our new tasks and activities and ways to assist finance/CMU to chase customers for collections and bad debts.....AND guess what? The first meeting of which to be held on next thursday requires me to go to the 12th floor menara telekom, meeting with the finance people...and 12th floor is used to be my old office! And i'm going to meet my former bos, and i am sooooo scared and 'segan' to meet all those my former finance colleagues...not that i loathe them or hate them, but it is merely because i used to be the 'girl', who kept on insisting and pleading my bos to go out of finance after 8 mths been there...after all the suffers i endured during the period...and ohhh god so many things had happened that finally made me to quit my acca course, and the worse thing is, the experience in finance was the one that made me hate accounting sooooo much! (but pls note that i'm proud to be an accounting grad!) And i couldn't imagine if they find out that i'm going to do billing! Billing and accounting - they are related what!!! Hish tensionnyer rasa isk iskkk :(((

Wish i dont have to see all those familiar faces that coming thursday, i wish my former bos will not be in the office that day, wish that i could change the venue, wish that i'll be on mc that day!

p/s: I think Idlan already fully recovered from his virus fever, flu, cough and seangkatan dgnnyer :) Mama and abah will be taking him to JJ this weekend yey! It's been a month since his last visit to shopping malls hehe

Monday the special day!

I was cooking Idlan's porridge early in the morning when suddenly hubby came from behind giving me a kiss saying 'Heppy Birthday sayang!" Hehe sooo sweet for i myself almost forgot my own birthday. Usually every morning of previous years i will wake up in the morning eargerly telling myself ''hmmm besday aku ari nih!"....

It is wonderful realizing that God gives u the opportunity to celebrate the 'day' again this year, with all the people u loved most surrounds u. Alhamdulillah for all the gifts given by Him, a great hubby who always stay beside u, a cute and brilliant son who never fails to cheer your day, being healthy, and many many more. Words are just not enough to describe how grateful i am for all the things granted by Him all these while.

Thank u soooo much hubby for the utmost love and kindness showered in our family, thank u umi for all the loves given from the day i was borned to this world till now, thanks to all my family and frens for allowing me to be part of your life..........and to my cutie son Muhammad Idlan Farhan, MAMA LOVES U SOOOO MUCH!!!

harga sebuah pengalaman & pengajaran

Hm dekat 2 minggu tak update blog, and dekat 3 minggu idlan berkabung tak sihat, dan aku hampir 2 minggu cuti tak masuk ofis jaga idlan.

1st week - idlan kena mild flu + batuk sesikit
2nd week - flu + bad cough
3rd week - demam every night, siang sihat walafiat, flu and cough dah hilang

Sepjg 3 minggu tuh, aku ngan pruz ulang alik pegi klinik, klinik biasa + specialist. Dekat 5 jenis pelbagai ubat doc prescribed utk idlan termasuk antibiotik yg rasanyer tak best tuh. Masuk 3rd week, idlan start nak muntah everytime mkn ubat...aku paham dia sure dah muak ngan ubat, nampak kitorang masukkan ubat dlm syringe dia dah start buat muka semacam...pity him i cant replace him to take the medicine, pity him for he's too small to understand the benefit and reason of having to finish all the medicines prescribed. Somestimes kitorang terpaksa skip kasik ubat tuh..tak sampai hati and kesian sesgt bila muntah, abis kuar bubur or susu yg baru dia telan. Specialist kata dia kena lung infections. Kahak dia byk, doc terpaksa kasik nebullizer. Tapi dia bagus n kuat, sepjg 15 minit kena sedut gas dia tak meronta langsung. Akak nurse pon puji Idlan,...."kalo ade 10 org baby camnih kan bagus!"

Doc kasik aku mc 4 hari, the rest aku amik EL jaga dia. Berkurung dlm rumah jer...otak aku agak buntu tapi idlan punyer pasal terpaksa berkurung jer. Start 2nd week dia dah jadik manja sbb asyik attach ngan aku je kot, goreng ayam ngan dia, masak sup sayur ngan dia..ke mana-mana ngan dia...pening pala aku but again...ape nak buat intan payung sorang jer :) Bila dia demam mlm, aku nak tido pon sometimes tak sedap hati...asyik bgn je check temperature dia..bila panas sgt tuh hati aku rasa frust sesgt, dah kasik ubat tapi still demam gak...rasa macam takmo percaya temperature nyer reading tuh!

Last sabtu and ahad mlm dia dah x demam alhamdulillah, hopefully mlm ni pon tak demam, if tak demam meaning infection dia dah betul2 hilang..if still persist, doc kata dia kena warded. Kena masukkan antibiotik thru vein plak sbb bila mkn ubat tuh tak berjaya utk membunuh kuman2 dlm badan dia...so last option is cucuk masuk jarum ubat tuh. Rasa cam nak pengsan je bila dengar doc cakap camtuh...mintak2la dijauhkan tuhan. Tak sanggup aku nak tgk dia kena warded..god help me pls.....

the 7 mth-old Idlan Farhan...

Idlan still hasnt fully recovered from his flu+bad cough since last Sunday...and i already took two ELs this week, Monday and yesterday. Doctor and his nursery caretaker said maybe because of the recent cold and rainy season.

Despite the routine of having to take three types of medicines one after another, Idlan looks soooo active as if he is not sick....and to add to my surprise yesterday, he almost got himself lying under our dining table from the 'toto', that was about 6 feets away from the table. I left him for just 2 minutes to wash my pan and clean the kitchen and i heard him yelling and babbling outside..and u see, he was already lied next to our dining chair, leaving the toto far behind him :p When i put him back to the center of the toto, a minute later again he'll be out of the toto boundary, happily menggulingkan dirinyer hehe

Last 2 week he got fever and at the same time berjaya meniarapkan diri. This week he got flu and cough, and now he can menggulingkan badan here and there, 360 degree. Hopefully he doesnt fall sick when he is up to have his teeth :) And last night i was fighting with him till 2am in the morning, just to make him doze off to sleep...*sigh*...am still not sure why his enery was like over recharged for one whole day!

Hopefully he'll be recovered today as tomorrow we were supposed to off to genting with umi and my brother.

p/s: gud luck to my hubby for his work completion seminar in melaka today, hopefully everything goes well as planned :P

balik kampung

29 Jun - Start cuti. Balik kampung Pruzz @ Junjung, Kedah. Idlan tetiba demam mlm tadi..sian dia huk huk.
Sampai umah mak/ayah around 113oam...agak awal jugakla since kitorang bertolak kol 630am...
Petang tuh bwk Idlan pi klinik since temp dia naik ke 39.4 celcius..risau kami...minum susu kurang, minum air pon takmo..mujur dia lalu makan. Doktor kata dia kena ulser, sbb tuh tak lalu nak minum susu...sakit kot. Balik klinik kasik ubat, suhu kejap naik kejap turun..sian idlan.

Skang musim buah kat kedah...so sibuk pulun durian, manggis, cempedak ngan dokong.

30 Jun- Idlan still demam lagik..on off deman dia...ubat keep on kasik..mujur dia jenis senang mkn ubat.

1 July- Pagi dlm kol 7, tetiba mak ketuk pintu bilik kami ifm ade ular masuk dlm toilet master bedroom. Husband pegi tengok, rupanyer si tedung..agak besar gak..kaler dark coklat..horror tgk..husband tolak2 ngan buluh, ular tuh takmo kuar, siap menyembur2 kasik warning..kepala dah kembang...ish cuak gilerrr...last2 mak panggil pak su ngan pak teh...depa bwk buluh lain...akhirnyer berjaya bunuh si tedung tuh. First time aku tgk depan mata tedung besar camtuh...alhamdulillah berjaya bunuh dia..kalo idak tak tahula ape jadi...kepala aku dah pk memacam dah...sementara tunggu pak su ngan pak teh sampai, ayah soh aku ngan unda bwk idlan lari pi umah tok kat sebelah..manela tahu kot ular tuh berlegar dlm umah kan....mujur kami sumer selamat.
Demam idlan dah kebah dah...alhamdulillah.

And guess what? akhirnya idlan berjaya meniarapkan diri dgn jayanyer...dulu time 5 bulan lebih ade gak a few attempts nak niarap tapi tak lepas..kali ni dah berjaya...tapi tak expert lagikla..tangan susah nak kalih, kepala pon takleh tegak lelama....tapi dia tersangatlaaaa rajin mencuba..tgh minum tetiba pusing nak niarap...tido pon sibuk kalih nak niarap...syabas sayang mama!!! Tapi yg tak syoknyer, bila dah niarap tak reti nak pusing telentang balik, pastuh menjerit mintak tolong ehhehe. Bila citer kat umi, umi kata dia demam sbb nak niarap kot hoho

2 July - pegi Lorong Kulit kat Penang...Idlan dah berjaya sampai ke penang..siap lalu bridge lagik...hehe untung idlan kecik2 dah pegi jln jejauh. Mujur dia tak meragam sepanjang2 kat sana though cuaca tersgtla panas...abah beli jersey, mama just beli stoking idlan..tade bende yg menarik la kat situ

Pastuh pi pantai feringghi mkn mee udang...sbb mak kata mee udang kat situ famous kan...mmg rasanyer sedap...cuma cuaca tak best agak panas...again idlan behave kat sini..tak meragam pon.

Malam- tgk AF3. First time tgk full sbb umah kami takde astro, before this x penah tgk program yg digembar-gemburkan nih. Sepanjang tgk tu, mulut aku, pruzz ngan unda tak berhenti meng komen peserta2 yg sumernya hampeh2 belaka pada kami..tak BESTTT dan tak berbakat langsung majority nyer..adela a few yg bley tahan, jauh beza kualiti derang ngan peserta Malaysia Idol. Aznil pon tadela best sgt jadik host...hmm kesimpulannyer teramatla bosan AF nih...aku ngan unda dok asyik menggelakkan derang jer, pruz tertido tak sempat tgk abis...arghhh tak suke AF3!!! Serius aku tak paham kenape org duk sibuk demam AF, pada aku tak best langsung...lagik tension adela tgk cara derang nyanyi..takde klas!

3 July- balik KL. Idlan asyik tido je dlm keta...kepenatan jln kelmarin kots...balik umah pon asyik tido jer. Keta kami penuh ngan durian, manggis, cempedak ngan dokong...sampai kl singgah umah pa kasik buah and distribute kat abang skali buah tuh...keta takde bau durian pasal pruz dah seal elok2 buah2 tuh dlm bekas polisterin, bubuh arang and daun pandan...mmg berkesan langsung takde bau.

Monday the hectic day!

Last night i received sms from Aida saying she's gonna EL today for her niece/nephew fell into drain and was scheduled for an op today. Early in the morning, again another sms from Vatsala saying she's going to mc today coz last night she met with an accident at 1030pm and unfortunately no 24hrs clinic avail at her place. And i already knew zaiti is on leave till wed for a long holiday in Langkawi..and Florence is also taking her own sweet time finishing her annual leave for she'll be leaving TM next coming July.....and the BIG question is...who's gonna be at the office today??? Monday the hectic day??? alaaaa harunyerr rasa. Out of 7 people at the front place, only 2 left today..me and kak sha...luckily i got her around to accompany me..kalo idak mati kutu duk kat depan ni sesorang...with tonnes of dockets (as usual for Monday) to be cleared, alahai lemahnyer badan...plus the headache yg datang since bangun tido pagi nih, sampai rasa loya2 satu badan nak muntah.
And i got myself sebatang lime ice cream and rm1 cekodok for lunch...(hoping that i could get rid off the loya2 yang dirasakan) It was miracle to feel that the headache went away in the middle of eating the ice cream and 5 min later, there comes back the headache...hampes betul!!........and now it's already 527pm with still lots of dockets waiting to be cleared and solved...and suddenly i realized hubby got class till 6pm..and that means i still couldnt go back at 530pm...and the bestest part is i had to answer the same boring question from everyone passing around asking me "Mane pegi sumer orang??" Ohh am so pathetic! --------> i hate Monday!!!

p/s: tetiba teringat kat Zaiti, sure best dia tgh bershopping-shopping sakan kat langkawi...huhu jelesnyer aku kat ko!

talking about "shopping"!

Linking up to all the summaries made by Pn Limau, Aini and kak Tini on their almost-one-day shopping experience @ mid valley jusco sale, a bit (read: only a bit ehhh!) sense of jealousy striked my mind...hish hish really wish i could be like one of them on that day, being in JJ..walking and rushing here n there, looking for this and that...bla bla blaa....but, there's a BUT ok....i've been to the IOI J Card day a month before that, and having spent a few hundreds there made me to think many many times of whether to go for the mid valley one or not!

And now i guess i've chosen the right decision, a very right one indeed! Instead of giving Jusco a few hundreds more (to add on what Limau, Aini and the rest had contributed to them :p), i've channeled my money to the sellers at Nilai 3 yesterday nyeh nyehhhh. It was our first time being there, and the mere reason of going to Nilai 3 was because everybody keep on saying "U must go there one day, rugi woo kalau tak pegi"!
Having my mum and sis in law in KL, and considering the fact that my mum in law tersangatlah teringin nak pergi sana, so there we go. It was not that far from KL, took us only about 40 min to reach there, and we have plenty of shops selling lots of items, ranging from ready-made clothes, curtains, toys, kain ela, seramic vase, flowers, teakwood furnitures, and many more! At the very beginning, the sellers managed to get us confused..hehe we got so much confused for there are lots and tonnes of choices with great, cheap and reasonable deal! Rambang mata sehhhh...and i almost got nothing for myself until my sis in law took the initiative by buying sepasang kain baju kurung, then goes my mum buying 3 pasang for herself, and last sekali, barulah saya bersemangat memilih kain utk diri sendiri hehe..pening pening nak pilih!

I ended up getting sepasang kain baju kurung, one shoe and one ladies napsack..and that's it! Hoho a bit proud with myself for all those 3 stuffs only cost me less than hundred...and many thanks to my hubby for taking care of Idlan most of the time, and special thanks to my cutie Idlan for he's the only reason for me not to spend more! And thank u so much to mak for the marroon kain baju melayu for Idlan..sure comel Idlan and cousin dia Aiman pakai baju melayu same colour raye nih! So it looks like mama and abah have to get marroon colour hari raye suit as well!

I bet if we didnt take him along, the tendency of buying more gonna increase, and so thus the probability of money being channeled out :p

Note:
1. me ---> aiming to go there again, but next time do not bring your babies/kids if u intend to shop with peace; with extra shopping hours than usual!
2. Month of June - rezeki buat Idlan for he got more than 5 piece of new clothes from mama, one suit of cloth+pant+vest/jacket from Mak Ude from Wales, one shirt+pant tenderly again courtesy to Mak Ude, and kain baju melayu for Raya from mak :))))) ....no wonder muka Idlan berseri-seri bulan nih hehehe

~berazam utk menghafal lagu ni utk nyanyikan buat Idlan tersayang :)

One Utama

Me and hubby had a chance to go to OU last weekend..last time been there, i guess it was 3 yrs back and by the time we reached there, wowwww never had i imagined that OU is as BIG as it is!! It is like there are 2 huge, spacious, separate buildings that divide the Jaya Jusco at one side and Parkson at the other end. Perghhhhhh spent time about 7 hours but still didnt manage to explore all shops and outlets...soooo many cutes, attractive outlets selling kids and babies apparels, toys, etc etcccc....and am sooo tempting to go to each of the shops but due to time and money constraint (haha), had to just blow off the chance..some other time perhaps :p Bubblegummers, Osh Kosh BGosh, Safe n Sound...to name a few ; there're many many more over there of which i've never ever heard of them before. I bet Idlan would really love to go there if he's big and clever enough to pick and choose his own toys :p

x0x0x0x0

Spent RM40 for Disney and JustBaby rompers and RM20 for Idlan's 1st alphabet cum soft book...and spent a few hundreds more on other necessary/unnecessary things (ni la yg malas pi shopping complex nihhh)

Btw, mid year sales ends at 12th June..so do hurry guys..looking for a good bargain?? then this is the time.......!

hikmah of sedekah...

Here's my routine early in the morning upon reaching the office:
- login to my Avaya IP phone
- turn on the pc
- open up the intra mail, take a glimpse on the one that is urgent/important
- read thru friends' blogs (memula wajib bukak limaunipis punyer --> Aida ko patut bangga nih!)

And now i would like to discuss one issue posted by kak tini dewi in her blog wrg to the hikmah of sedekah!

Well, sedekah membawa barakah..that's what been taught to us by our dear teachers back in our schooldays.
Thinking way back on my monthly income/earning/extras, am glad that i could still have buffers at the end of the month, considering the fact that i've put aside portion of it for savings, parents' allowances, nursery fees, car loan, bills, household expenses, etc. And thinking of it made me realize of the blessing Allah gives u for being able to 'properly' channel the money to the right way...serves u right kan..alhamdulillah for that.

Talking about my bonus, where goes all the money? Hmm detailed budget was drawn up right away after the cash was bank in onto my account. So how was the allocation? Majority of it goes to my ASB, some was allocated to treat my family+parents for mkn-mkn and holiday, some was spent for Idlan's new clothes, pay lawyer's fee for our new house, main bowling kat IOI, bayar zakat yg dah pending lama dah andddd that's it! None of it was spent for myself (as at today la), name it new clothes ke, tudung ker, pants ker, kasut ker, ape ker...not that i'm too stingy and berkira when it comes to money but it's just that i feel all those money was already spent wisely the way it was! But for those who read Azizi Ali's collection, i suppose some of u can still remember one thing raised by him, spent for yourself first before others. And to me, tak rugi ke tak guna duit bonus beli baju baru, kasut baru, handbag baru? The answer is NOT ....tapi kalau tak beli baju baru untuk Idlan, the answer is YES :p (and that's because i couldnt control myself for not buying baju baru for him every month...tak kisahla ade bonus ke takde bonus ke...hehe teruk gak nih senarnyer)

So, looking back at my real point of discussion..sedekah membawa barakah. For my case, i guess spending the cash for my family & parents are more than enough to bring total joy and satisfaction to myself. For those not yet married, probably they might be thinking ye ker ehhh rasa macam tuh? Believe me u will..just wait for the day to come...most of the time, family comes first..self goes to the second. But am not encouraging you people not to spend money for yourselves..no noo...that is not the point, after all the money is all yours. You own the money, so decisions are in your hand. Am not saying that you cannot spend it for leisure2 things, of course u can...go ahead...different people have different opinions..the way they satisfy themselves may differ from others....so you people, act wisely, manage your money wisely as well....and you'll be happy and thank for that!

the 51/2 mth-old Idlan Farhan!

What Idlan can do?

- other babies of same age already managed to meniarap..but Idlan only manages to memusingkan badannyer...especially to left side..nvmd boy, keep on trying yeah yeahh!!!
- recently likes to sleep turning to the left, with left hand stay underneath
- babbles to himself, mama n abah most of the time to attract attention :P (sounds like this --> mamamamamamam yum yum yum yum)
- out of 9 babies in the nursery, Idlan is better known to akak2 nursery as the one yg suke bebel, bercakap dan merungut unlike the rest yg lebih suke senyap jer.
- plays a new trick of which mama n abah only found out after several attempts ---> buat-buat batuk kecik a few times when he get bored staying inside the stroller...then bila mama/abah dukung, automatically the cough went off. Then bila letak balik dlm stroller, buat balik batuk2 kecik as if mmg dia batuk bebetul. Later on baru kitorang perasan ni trick je senarnyer hish hishh!!!
- feed with spoon! The sweetest one over all i suppose for am really enjoyed watching him open up his mouth waiting for the spoon to reach his mouth...ala sweetnyer! Bila mama lambat sket jer dia dah start bunyi mamamammamamama... clever boy! Bila spoon sampai kat mulut, kaki dia sibuk kodek-kodek cam swimming :p
- auto turn to silent mode when he sees mama/abah praying..and stare to either of us dgn khusyuk skali!

Ni citer last friday (6 May)...

Bangun pepagi tuh rasa pening kepala sesgt..mata pinar2...sebab tak cukup tido pasal idlan byk kali bangun mlm tuh....so after antar idlan kat babysit terus pi Klinik Alam Medik..the nearest clinic at our housing area...unfortunately clinic not yet open..kol 9am baru bukak ishhh...so pi brekfas then pegi balik klinik tuh...tak bukak2 lagik padahal dah pukul 9 lebey...so pegi klinik NurFatimah plak...lepas doc check2 sumer (doc checked detail giler hehe..cuak plak aku..doc kata muka aku cam tak cukup tido (memang ponnn), BP jatuh sket, kepala denyut2, kaki and lutut pon dia check gak hehe nak tgk tulang aku kuat ke ape ntah..perut dia check gak....byk la lagik dia check...baik giler doc tuh. Then kuar dari bilik doc, tunggu kejap..akak kaunter panggil..dia dah tulis kertas mc..tapi dia tak kasik pon mc tuh. Dia cakap actually klinik dia takleh kuarkan mc utk panel pantai medicare..sbb depa tak diauthorize pon utk kasik mc..kalo nak mc kena pi HQ kumpulan nurfatimah kat tesco puchong....arghh damnnn...kalo tahu darik awal tadi tadela aku buang masa pi klinik tuh.

So ubat dia tak kasik, mc tak dpt..aku pon kuar la dgn hati yg tensi ish ishh...

next destination, aku ngan pruzz pegi Poliklinik Zul & Rakan-rakan..sampai sana dah kol 10am..tapi doktor tak dtg pon lagik ish ish...mujur patient x brape ramai. Kat kol 11 lebey baru dpt jumpe doktor...mujur doktor baik..kalo idak sure aku dah bertambah tensi...doc cakap aku bukan migrain...cuma kena cucu cicit migrain jer hehe...doc kata jgn tensen2, tido kena cukup...dan byk lagikla bende dia advise...at last kat kol 1130am berjayalah aku dpt mc!! Aku mintak doc kasik ubat yg lagik kuat darik ponstan pasal aku slalu kena sakit kepala lately, tapi doc takmoh kasik :p Dia still kasik ponstan jer.

Dlm keta telan ponstan + ubat tahan loya, then terus pi Megan Avenue jumpe lawyer. Disebabkan nak jimatkan duit parking sbb parking mahal, pruzz sorang je naik jumpe lawyer, aku tunggu dlm keta sambil baca Mami & Baby...then tak sampai 5 minit pakcik polis ketuk pintu keta lambai2 kat aku. Alamakkkk cuaknyer aku...nak kena saman ke niiii....aku tunggu jap, pakcik polis tuh sibuk tulis love letters utk van depan keta aku...aku pon angkat handbrake terus jln hehe...mujur dia tak marah...pastuh aku bwk keta sampai ke depan sket jer tunggu pruzz...takleh nak pi depan lagik sbb nak masuk jln besar dah...thru side mirror aku nampak byk giler surat cinta putih pakcik polis tuh kasik kat keta and motor2 kat situ hehe...then pruzz sampai, then cecepat kitorang cabut :p

Dari situ pi klcc utk lunch..pruz bley solat jumaat kat sana...sampai sana parking kat luar dah penuh...masuk parking underground, sampai kat mesin tiket tuh tiba2 tiket dah abis...arghh tensi lagik...terpaksala kitorang tunggu kat situ dlm 10 minit...keta lain kat belakang kitorang sumer masuk ke lane sebelah amik tiket...kitorang nak reverse keta byk sgt yg coming..aduii tensi betul...last2 bila keta tinggal 2 kat belakang, pruzz turun jadik polis traffic sat tahan keta2 tuh utk keta aku reverse hehe...mujur org2 mesia ni baik hati.

Sambil pruzz solat jumaat sempatla aku capai baju idlan 3 helai kat isetan...ade sales time tuh...mujur bonus tak masuk lagik, kalo bonus dah masuk rabak pocket aku.

Then lepas pekena lecka lecka-Bacio kami pi Tawakal lawat isteri Rahimi, Syuhairah....Syu delivered baby boy on 5/5/2005...cun kan tarikh besday baby depa...comel giler..berat 3.56kg...beratnyerrr...rambut pon lebat..lagik byk dari rambut Idlan sekarang nih hehe....comel je baby tuh bukak2 mata...mulut cam terkumat kamit nak bercakap...uihhh cumel cumel!

Tahniah buat Rahimi & Syuhairah!!

Then kami terusla pulang...jalan plak jam terukk pasal org dah abis keje...mujurla kepala dah tak pening...tapi pruzz plak yg sakit kepala..so aku la yg drive balik seri kembangan....uhh penat penat...

Aku duk terpk-pk, lepas ni kalo nak mc nak pi klinik mane eh?? sumer klinik kat umah aku hampeh2 belaka ishhh....selama ni aku kalo sakit pala amik EL jer...kalo asyik amik EL abisla cuti aku huhuhu

Pagi tuh kitorang pi PWTC...saje jejln sebab ramai kata best kan...and since kitorang skang nih tgh giler beli interior design magz, so sampai je sana terus target pegi berita publishing ngan karangkraf...spent RM70.60 for Impiana ngan Anjung Seri...berat yg amat nak menjinjit beg plastik...mujur Idlan ok jer though orang ramai giler ari tuh. Idlan punyer semangat inkuiri punyerla tinggi..duk sibuk pandang kiri kanan kiri kanan..bagus bagus...early exposure nih hehe...

Petang tuh plak pi Muara Ikan Bakar kat Klang...konvoi 3 keta..Umi banjer makan sbb dapat something hehe...bertolak dekat kol 7..sampai dekat nak abis maghrib...keta kitorang ni follow keta Kak Eda sbb depa dah penah pegi sana lebey darik skali...tapi sesat gak tuh hehe...sesat sampai ke west port lagik tu...ishh jauh giler nak u-turn balik...buang masa betul...mujur Idlan tak ngamuk dlm keta...aduiii rasa jauhnyer nak sampai tempat tuh...dekat sejam lebey baru sampai. Hmm tempat tuh mmg besar, not bad la utk accommodate ramai org..tapi tak berangin sgt la mlm tuh, so rasa panas giler though kitorang duk betul2 tepi port tuh. Again Idlan good and tersangatla behave sepanjang kat sana...memula sampai dia memain sket2, then kasik susu dia tido dlm kebisingan kat situ. ..so boley la mama ngan abah makan dgn tenangnyer hehe..Kitorang sampai dlm 820pm..order dpt lambat giler...after sejam lebey baru dpt..start mkn around 10pm...then balik sampai umah kat kol 12...huish punyer la flat rasa badan...jauh bukan main tapi nak kata sedap sgt tadela...best lagik umbai bak kata pruzz...rasanyer that was the 1st and the last kots mkn kat sini...tak berbaloi pi tpt sejauh tuh.

Makan kat Secret Recipe...since ramai ofismate recommend utk try tom yam kung and irish lamb stew, kitorang pun try la...tom yam dia punyerla pedas yg amattt tapi best tapi pedassss tak hingat...aku yg tahan pedas pon jadik tak tahan that day...tak abis pon mkn...lamb stew dia not bad..aku suke roti dia lembut sesgt...mash potatoe pon dia baked, so rasa lain sket...ice blended capuccino dia sedap...lagik sedap darik san fransisco rasanyer...then lepas mkn igt nak pekena kek satu slice tapi perut tak dpt nak terima lagik hehe..penuh giler perut...so terus balik...tak jadik nak mkn baskin robbin...hadiah tak beli lagik...tak jumpe lagik bende yg dihajatkan huhu...
