A birthday and A Farewell

As usual I worked for 12 hours today - well 11 la, minus 1 hour for the much awaited lunch as we celebrated the birthday and farewell for the staffs. This month was supposed to be a pot luck thingy and since most of us are very busy with the next moderation in July, we scrap the idea and just cater. Senang, tak yah masak-masak susah-susah.

Lunch was ok, worth it jugak la for RM10 per head. Takmo makan nasi, so decided to ambik lauk pauk je tapi rasa segan plak nak citer kata diet kalau org nampak tak ambik nasi (payah benor le aku ni!) so makan la gak dua sudu, buat syarat..:D.

Picture, as usual : From left, Mr T, Mdm B, Mdm P and Mdm Z

Mdm B and P are celebrating their birthdays and Mr T & Mdm Z will be leaving the company for a better oportunity, their last day is this Friday. Wishing them all the best..

Today's Thursday..and it's PayDay...yeayy :D

Miss me? :D

Soalan perasan tuh? Been too tired these couple of days. Last weekend B keje, so takde la buat apa. I was also working on Saturday, morning packing stuff sampai sakit belakang and ankle, then petang jaga exam till 5pm. Memang penat.

Ahad pagi, abang, Intan and Adam came for breakfast coz Abg teringin nak makan mama punya pulut kukus with kelapa and ikan kering. I'm not so into makan pulut..layan Adam je la. Suka betul tengok dia pakai baju merah, menyerlahkan lagi kegebuan kulit dia. Baju merah ni I bought him last year tapi terbeli besar and only now he is able to wear it. Naughty sungguh, dah mandi pun dok berjoget lambak kat situ..nak pakaikan baju pun susah.
And check out these 2 videos - dah pandai joget dan ber wrestling nephew aku nih.






Work? Been a hectic week since Monday..my schedule has been Mon-Wed-Fri gym after work and Tue-Thursday stayback in office till 8pm. So bila dah balik tu, I'm just too tired or too lazy to update. Besok ada pot luck again - two celebration in one. Birthday and farewell for two of our staffs, last day on 29 June. I'm going to miss both of them, antara otai paling lama keje kat sini..7-8 years plus. Lama la tu bagi aku, since I graduated in 1999, this is my 3rd job and the longest ever to serve a company - 4 1/2 years. Paling sekejap aku pernah keje in one company is 1 1/2 years. How about you? :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dreaded accreditation visit is over. Oh I'm so glad. I was practically walking (very fast) up and down the stairs from my office to their official room every half an hour to attend to their needs and questions. It was bloody tiring and I swear I could lost 1kg after two days (sungguh drama as usual). I only had my proper lunch (which comprised of one cold slice of pizza) at 6pm yesterday, in my car driving to the gym and had the urge to vommit after I'm done with workout one hour later. Stupid me, I should not have eaten just right before exercising but I was damn hungry yesterday.

One of the staff were saying "Kak Amy, *** dah habis..so rilek la lepas ni". Rilek ko kata? I didn't get to do my own work the past two days and now had to finish that on top of the new work. Dah la assistant aku MC semalam..erghh what a day.

Someone new is reading my blog today (discovered) from Qatar. Could it be you? If it is you who I think is reading this, since you have 'disconnect' any means of communication, I am begging you thru my blog to ask Lisa to email me coz we miss them so much, you have no idea. Lisa can mail me at milia_zul77@yahoo.com or ym me at milia_zul77. I just want to know that they're ok and they have not forgotten their Angah, Acu, Atuk Girl and Wan.. and especially their dad.

Am just pressing my luck here..

Weekend yg best

Kadang2 weekend aku bosan gila coz hubby kena keje all weekend, tapi bila dia ada tu, rasa best gila :D. Walaupun hanya lepak kat rumah je. This weekend he only worked on Saturday and spent the whole Sunday with me. Besh!

Last Friday night I worked till 7pm, bekerja keras to make sure all documents are ready for the accreditation annual visit. Insyallah semua dah ready, ada la minor things yg aku tinggalkan for tomorrow morning, dah tak larat sangat, kepala aku berdenyut2..I think I worry too much. By the time sesapa baca ni, aku dok busy ke sana ke mari agaknya. Wish me luck!

Saturday morning, bangkit lambat sket coz kepala still sakit - dgn bertampal koyok kat dahi :). Then received sms from an old college mate - Yan, we're from the same ESL class kat PPP dulu. She wanted to meet me in the evening, aku setuju je memandangkan takde program apa. Went for a wedding in the afternoon with parents and Tiyah. Mak pengantin is Mama's schoolmate. Lauk kenduri gila sedap. Some picture taken during and after the wedding.
Right after we reached home, Abang came with SIL and Adam. This Adam is getting naughtier each day tau..and cheeky too. While having tea, dia celup tangan dia dlm gelas air sejuk and basuhkan muka dia sampaila rambut, dia ingat tengah mandi agaknya! Then masa aku nak kuar gi jumpa Yan, dia bleh main2kan aku...cakap nak peluk, when I bend down to him - he ran away and laugh hysterically, bleh? 2 kali tau? Rasa nak babap je budak ni :D. As I was wearing a pink blouse with matching floral pink scarf, I decided to borrow Tiyah's matching pink sandal - without telling her..hihiihi.
Padan muka aku..dah la sampai kat Shah Alam about 10 minutes late. Lepas parking je, terus grabbed my handbag and voila, baru 2 step..tali sandal tu dah putus. Like cilakak u know. Takkan aku nak drag my feet dari basement masuk ke shopping complex tu. Always, always happened to me tau mende camni. And aku baru je bebel kat Tiyah sbb suka sangat tinggalkan kasut2 dia dlm kereta macam rumah..and of course when I'm desperate for another pair of shoes at this time, takde plak la kan spare kasut dlm keta tu. Yg aku tahu, kasut aku dok guna pegi gym tu ada la kat trunk.

Memang OMG la condition aku time tu. Pakai blouse pink macam sopan je kan, pastu tengok bawah, kasut..?? Memang aku noticed org yg selisih dgn aku sure pandang ke kasut aku, who wouldn't? I would too and I would even tell Tiyah and Mama what I saw usually ..sheesh. Aku punya objective masa tu - jalan cepat2 and masuk Secret Recipe cepat2. Yan saw my shoes when I was walking towards her and dia pun ada this puzzled look. And she then laughed her heart out when I told her what happened. Tapi sebab dia belanja so tak bleh marah la. I had my usual apple juice and walnut brownie - sinful. It was great meeting her again - we exchanged stories and seperti biasa mengenang kembali saat2 manis dulu. Memang betul la, bila jumpa kawan2 lama ni, tak rasa macam aku nak masuk 30 dah tau (I'm still 29, not yet 30 ehehhe denial, denial)..rasa macam still 18 and dok sembang cam zaman dulu2.

And my Saturday doesn't end there. I agreed with Mama to bring her to Clarks sale dekat Corus Hotel - a new hotel replacing Ming Court. So, lepas Maghrib off we went. I was asking for direction when anak kawan mama tu asked "Do you know Avenue K?" My answer was "Huh?" and when she mentioned nikko hotel baru la aku tahu kat mana. Oh man, nampak sangat dah lama tak jalan2 area situ, Avenue K pun tak tau. Dah la masa gi Shah Alam tu pun cam terkejut je nampak SACC Mall, masa bila tah tetiba je dah ada tepi PKNS tu. Ketinggalan zaman aku ni, banyak mende tak update - nampak sangat bukan kaki shopping. Little that we know the Sale is only within 10am till 5pm. Mama was a bit frustrated.

Sunday started with B coming back from Klang (he spent the night there)and pick me up for breakfast. It is Father's Day kan. So we decided to treat Ayah, Mama and Tiyah for lunch dekat Ayah punya favorite fish head curry restaurant kat Jalan Ipoh. Makan nasi suku pinggan pun aku dah kenyang sampai nak muntah. Aku rasa aku dah start adjust to my new routine already - tu yg tak bleh nak pegi jauh dah. Tak larat. Which is good for me la. Maknanya body system dah bleh cope dgn cubaan aku untuk kurangkan makan kut, I think so.

After lunch, Mama and Tiyah went to the Clarks Sale while B and me headed to whereelse - OU. We have booked 4 tickets to watch Ocean 13. Why 4 tickets? B punya office colleague wanted to join - kira double date la. We the married couple and them, the dating couple. Showtime is at 3.10pm and by 3.05pm, his friend sms saying that he could not find old wing. You see GSC is fully booked. I've tried the internet, the sms - semua fully booked. And so, I decided to try TGV and as expected mmg ada seat - panggung kosong plak tu, imagine weekend pun tak penuh. So, terpaksa la aku gi 'jemput' diaorg kat GSC and walked back to TGV. Contrary to B, I haven't watch Ocean 11 & 12 and my main motivation to watch Ocean 13 is just one - Brad Pitt. :P Best la, memang best. Aku puas hati. Baru terasa rugi tak tengok Ocean 11 & 12. The planning, the storyline was just superb and bonus la dgn Brad Pitt nya ..hmmm those blue eyes and that smile, cair!

To complete the evening, after the movie, we then went and played bowling for 2 games. Lagi lama tak main, lagi teruk prestasi aku..memalukan je score. B seperti biasa, menang memanjang :(. Lama gila kitaorg kat OU tu, imagine Zohor, Asar and Maghrib kat situ. Tiga kali masuk surau yg sama.



B and me then had our dinner kat Uptown - me western and him as usual - rice. So, happy la weekend ni sbb macam penuh je jadual. Besok dah keje balik - with a busy Monday plak. Looking back at all the photos taken during this weekend, I don't think I'm quite fully recovered from the sunburned la. I mean, iyer, kulit aku mengelupas like what it should be after sunburned, but patutnya bila mengelupas, then I should get back my original skin color apa? Why is it not happening? Takkan nak beli whitening product kut to get back my skin color? I don't really believe the effect of the various whitening product yg dok ada kat market sekarang ni pun...oh well, I think the word 'putih gebu' will not apply to me anymore from now on. It should now be 'coklat kusam' already to describe me :( (.
Noticed that it's a pink weekend? Pegi wedding baju pink, kuar pakai blouse pink. Lupa plak nak cakap, last Friday tu we read from the paper yg A*ussino ada sale - tanpa berlengah lagi, lunch time aku buat keje gila dari Bukit Jalil pegi MidValley, I bought a pink quilt cover set with pictures of chick and eggs. The quilt cover set with heart shapes prints lagi cantik tapi it's only available for single beds, I grabbed the last two for my colleague and Tiyah. Ada satu makcik-makcik ni macam sibuk dok tengok and tanya whether she can have one becoz she also think it's beautiful. Minta maaf la makcik, I've learnt my lesson from the previous A*ussino sale, grab yg mana berkenan pastu gi some corner and decide which one I want coz other makcik-makcik will push and push and grab macam nobody's business. And if A*ussino dah publish dia punya sale dlm paper, sila la pegi terus bila kedai bukak sbb kalau pegi malam tu itself pun memang dah sold out sbb kalau dia sale, dia betul2 sale.
Tiyah tried that night and pegi kat I*kano punya, mmg betul aku cakap - habis. I was a bit conscious to put that pink quilt cover set in my room knowing that hubby tak baper suka pink. But when he saw it, dia ok je maybe coz it's not shocking pink, just light pink. And seeing him wrapped up in the quilt with chick and eggs print, nampak cute plak laki aku ni keh keh keh. Dia buat muka bosan bila aku cakap camtu :D. And oh ya, aku mmg suka kumpul bed sheets atau sarung2 bantal yg cute2 ni.

Bila aku nak start post blog yg pendek2 ni??

I've learnt my (one of many) lessons today

This morning, the hubby liat nak bangun..after Subuh prayers tido balik. Bila kejut, dia buat derk je. Hangat hati..aku takut dia lambat gi keje..poor big baby ni kan kena drive 1 hour ke office dia. Dah le ngeliat2 gaya2 weekends je, pastu bleh ungkit "Semalam, awak kata nak buatkan Nescafe, tapi awak lupa, awak tido.." Hek elleh, penat tau hari2 balik malam...dgn sakit belakang dok angkat kotak, aku siap tertido depan TV till midnight semalam.

So, aku dah ala-ala merajuk la kan (mmg aku over)..masa bersiap2 nak gi keje pun ala-ala malas nak layan ah bila dia nak kiss goodbye tu..sampai je parking kat basement, dia call. Aku malas nak jawab. Dlm hati kata "Elleh, nak pujuk la tu". But nevertheless, I called back. And he said "B, cermin keta saya pecah..kena batu agaknya. Saya kat tepi highway ni"

Lepas cakap lebih kurang and he told me that he's going to the workshop and need to drive slowly, I hang up and cried. Why? Coz I always take for granted. Kena usik sket nak merajuk, what if anything worst happen to him tadi? What if the kiss that I've been trying to avoid this morning will be his last kiss? Mahu trauma aku.. I could not imagine my life without him. Sometimes, too many times la actually yg Tuhan memang nak 'tunjuk' kat aku...a slap to my face.. aduihhh.

Been busy la kat office this week. If the word 'busy' is coming from me, memang super duper busy yg ala-ala nak kuar lunch pun tak sempat, kena minta colleague belikan..ha sampai macam tu sekali. It just that some gomen body involving in accred*tation is coming this Monday and Tuesday - the annual validation thingy. So, been busy arranging the documents, the rooms, the students, the lunch and breaks.. phewww kira sampai ke titisan darah dah peluh yg terakhir la. And just now, while pushing the trolley alone (so like superwoman wannabe) full with documents, I didn't notice the ram was wet with tempias hujan, and managed to slid down and sprained my right ankle. Budus. Tak la teruk, tapi terasa la dia punya sprained tu. Jalan pun dengket2 sket. Not worth it, I'm telling you for just that 2 days punya ordeal. Where was my assistant all this time? I asked her to do filing and prepare some remeh-temeh letters yg aku malas nak buat.

Oh, I got another new assistant on Wednesday. Finally, so been happily passing the work to her. Her previous company is also a college. So, agak senang la bila explain kat dia compared to the other girl yg sungguh blur, tapi pretend to know everything. This new girl understands what I said and teach her, take notes..record in her book (I like!) ...ask me questions ( I very like!) and doesn't jump right into messenger the moment she got internet line like the other girl. Hari ni je la aku nampak dia browse-browse tapi since it's lunch time and all the tasks given are completed, so gua takde hal. So far so good..tak tahu la later on nanti. But me and my other colleague nak set the line siap2 la since dia tengah baru ni sbb tak nak dia besar kepala, susah. I'm losing my voice sbb banyak dok cakap and explaining the processes to the new girl. Baru dua hari nak hilang suara dah, camner la my friends yg jadik lecturer ni bleh cope teaching the whole day..hangpa jaga suara macam mana?

And bila dah asyik balik malam ni, dah terbengkalai la gym ku. Monday baru2 ni aku pegi, then Selasa tak pegi sampai la semalam. Planning to go today after work, that is if everything is ready for Monday la.. I would hate myself if aku malas nak pegi. But I sure hope I can complete everything by today as I would hate to come on Saturday just to complete my work, what more with the slight back pain..I want to rest this weekend. Next Saturday, perhaps..I need to come to clear my things especially under my table yg dah berlonggok2 sampai aku naik rimas. Mende2 camni kena la buat sendiri, takkan nak suruh assistant clearkan sampah sarap aku kut.

Dah received two wedding cards from my single friends..alhamdulilah setakat ni tak clash lagi wedding dates. Tak sabar nak pegi coz I'm sure there will be some old friends there - hopefully not the ones yg aku malas nak jumpa or talk to :P. Still waiting for another card coz she sms-ed me already about it, cuma aku tak sure tarikhnya bila - second marriage for her ....after what she has to go through in her first marriage, mmg aku happy gila. I'm happy for her two small daughters also. A good friend like her deserves a second chance to happiness and I truly hope she will find her ultimate 'happy-ever-after' life with him. Insyallah.

Here's a belated (sorry) birthday shout out to another of my ex-roommates (semua ex roommates aku birthday bulan 6, bleh??), Noresh. Moga dipanjangkan umur dan dimurahkan rezeki dan diberi secukup tenaga to bake more and more delicious cakes!! Happy belated birthday...

Noresh & Bard with their two lovely kids

Summary yg tak relevant - Zul is my everything and I love him more each day :D

Have a nice weekend you all!

Sombong budak ni!

Kalau saper baru kenal aku, mmg cakap aku sombong. Sebab? Aku tak banyak cakap (dgn org tak kenal la, kalau dah kenal...perghh non stop!)... I got this "Dulu, aku ingat ko ni sombong, takmo cakap dgn orang" like too many times already.

Aku susah nak start conversation especially dgn strangers.. ye, one of my (many) weaknesses. Tadi kat gym pun macam tu, org workout sebelah aku..aku buat dunno. Org bulu lebat busuk sebelah aku, aku lari gi tempat lain :D. At the locker area, I see this bunch of Malay girls, talking, laughing..I'm sure they got to know each other only after joining the gym. Adakah aku bother utk pergi kenal2? Tak... aku buat hal sendiri. Tapi kalau org tegur aku, aku senyum..aku cakap. Org tanya sepatah, aku jawab sepatah..aduih.

Masa tunggu lift nak ke car park, ada one macho chinese guy tegur "Baru habis workout?" Of course la, takkan baru nak pegi kut kalau dah nak turun ke car park kan? Tapi, I know he's being nice and polite and wanted to start a conversation..so I just nod and smile. Pastu masuk lif lain - dua2 lif terbuka, and patutnya kalau nak sambung conversation, masuk la lift yg sama dgn dia kan? Aku gi masuk lift yg lain. Pastu cakap kat diri sendiri "Buduh betul" . Mesti mamat tu rasa insulted. Not that he trying to ngurat kan? He is just being polite.. arghh..I hope I don't bumped into him again..isk. Hopeless la aku ni.

But there are times that I wished a conversation never strike - like alone in a taxi, or waiting for my turn in the hospital for the routine checkup. I would rather bury myself in a storybook, or any magazine/newspaper. Sebab aku takmo org tanya aku soalan2 yg aku malas nak jawab, macam "Sudah kahwin?" which will lead to "Berapa anak?" and after that "Sudah try bla bla bla-mind your-own-business la" questions. Aku tahu some are being polite and wanted to start a conversation but I'm so not good in this.

Muka aku yg garang ni pun satu hal la. People often mistaken my face emotion and thought that I was bored/sleepy/angry when in actual fact, I was just in my usual selamba-takde perasaan face. How? Tak tahu la nak describe. Those closest to me will know kut. And I am so lambat warm up in the morning. My roommates Rosnah and others will be able to testify this. Bila bangun pagi nak gi kelas, I would not utter a word. The only word that came out was when I woke some of them up, and then after that aku diam je, dari mandi, bersiap, drive to class...dah sampai campus, breakfast.. baru engine suara aku jalan - baru la sembang non-stop. Keh keh...sampai sekarang tau? Dah kahwin pun camtu. And now that hubby leaves at 7am, and aku masih mamai2 belum siap, he only kisses me goodbye before he goes. Dia pun dah paham enjin belum hidup :D.

Itu lah aku... memula je macam tu, when you finally get to know me, you will love me and could not resist me - ya Allah, perasannyaaaaaaaaaaa!



Oh, aku nampak Kevin Zahri kat gym tadik - like OMG body dia. Padanla jadik trainer. Seperti biasa, walaupun dia senyum, aku buat2 tak nampak je..konon tak heran la. Tapi sebenornya, aku conscious dgn bau badan ku yg berpeluh sakan. Cover konon! Hmmphh Amy...Amy..

PENING

Makcik pening.. @#&%

Aku takde niat nak mempersendakan Raja Buah ni..tapi sungguh, tak tahan!! Within seconds, the smell travel sampai ke atas, masuk ke bilik aku.. dah setengah botol air freshener aku sembur tapi bau masih kuat..tak tahu mana nak lari dah..HELP!!

Kepala aku dah berdenyut2 sakit, and I wanna throw up..erghhh durian, durian... naper la orang suka makan durian? I cannot tahannnnnnnnnnnn...

He better rinse his mouth with mouth freshener (Dettol pun takpe) before any attempt to kiss me! YuCk!!

Note : Picture taken here

Entah apa-apa tah..

I didn't go to the gym the whole of last week,too much work to do that I was forced (dgn rela hati) to stay till 8pm almost everyday..

So agak rasa guilty la and mmg control sket makan last week sbb dah tak pegi workout kan. This week pun dah rasa nak serabai jek planning ke gym tu tapi hari ni kuatkan semangat. Tiyah has other plans and since Mama need to use her car, we still have to travel in one car and she sent me off to Sum*it after work, and then hubby will pick me up on his way back from work.

Pegi kat locker, mandi2, tukar baju and bila nak pakai kasut - Damn! I realized that the shoes belongs to Tiyah. Our bags are identical and thus, the confusion. So, we exchanged smses :

Shit! Tertukaq beg kasut hang ah! Arghhh

Lor ye ker? Pakai je la, 'wangi' stoking aku tu.. (cinabeng adik aku ni)

Kasut ko besar la! Panjang macam kapal!

Sungguh tak selesa pakai kasut dia sbb bleh rasa ruang kosong kat kasut tu.. belasah je la labu. Aku ingat kan aku akan pengsan hari ni sbb dah seminggu tak workout tapi ok la, semangat la gak sbb dah rasa bersalah kan? Aku larat buat sejam je, pastu dah mula pening.

I think when I sweat a lot, aku pening. Especially bila berpeluh kat kepala coz dah pakai tudung semua kan? I will usually get migraine kalau tengah panas atau loud music. Yes, I am a makcik like that, tak bleh dengar lagu kuat2 or lagu2 rap entah sebut apa tah.

Ingat bila dah penat sejam tu, nak duduk kat tempat locker tu rileks-rileks. Tapi aku tak gemor betul loud music yg depa pasang kat locker area tu.. makin berkecamuk kepala aku. Kat machine area, tak plak sekuat tu. Tadi ada lagu English yg retro2, pastu yg rap2...arghhhh!! Ambik tuala terus gi mandi, tak sabo nak kuar dari situ.

B lambat lagi nak sampai, aku malas nak jalan2 dlm Sum*it tu, nak cari tempat baring. Last2 pegi la menuju ke surau walaupun aku uzur. Surau tu kat tingkat 12, agak sunyi la sbb banyak opis dah tutup. Masa naik lift sorang2 tu, aku bleh terbayangkan citer seram Zetty..psycho betul lepas baca..sampai je tingkat 12, pak guard lak dok tercegat depan pintu lift tu.. takut aku Zetty ahahha..mmg terbayang2 citer tu.

Besok kena gi keje, jaga exam lagi. Ye,mmg aku yg volunteer nak keje sbb takde commitment kan? Lagi pun, bleh dpt replacement leave - bleh la aku kumpul banyak2, tak yah guna Annual Leave aku (simpan banyak2 pastu tak guna pun..hmmppHh).

Selamat meng rilekkan diri kat rumah!

Finally, Kuantan update

Warning : A long-winded post. You have been warned!!

Ok la..Kuantan update plak. Hati ni masih bersisa sayunya.. tapi aku cuba buat donno la. Maybe I expect too much, maybe I put other people's feeling first before my own feelings and thus the dissappointment.. maybe I blame myself too much. Maybe..

Anyways, Friday night tu lepas performing Maghrib, left for Subang gi ambik cousin B, Iwan. Had dinner and then off to Kuantan. I was tired with all the baking and packing that I think I fell asleep even before we reached Karak. Arrived in Kuantan around 12.30am and aku sambung tido. MIL, FIL, BIL and SIL expected to arrive the same morning.

Saturday morning - breakfast beramai-ramai kat rumah abang sulung B. There were 11 adults and 4 children and a baby in one house. You can imagine the crowd.. ehehe but I survived. So, yg pegi trip memancing tu are his elder brother (Abg Jamal), younger brother (Yen), sister (Ina), cousin (Iwan), B and me - 6 of us. Only B and me were wearing short sleeves - tak teringat langsung nak pakai long sleeves untuk tutup kulit ni and I didn't even put on any SPF lotions (konon dlm hati 'Alah, takkan nak gelap kut'). The plan was for us to go fishing from Saturday morning followed by candat sotong Saturday night and only be back to land on Sunday morning. Pergh, gila adventure la konon. Abg Jamal dah suruh kitaorg telan ubat mabuk before boarding the boat.
Aku sempat lagik la ambik2 gambar pagi tu. Happy je. Cuaca pun tak panas sangat. 2 jam gak la journey nak sampai ke tengah laut tekong bot tu bawak (Boat yg kitaorg naik macam dlm gambar atas). This time we all start cari ikan kecik untuk buat umpan dulu. B and me mmg lucky la tempat kitaorg pancing tu mmg lubuk agaknya untuk ikan kunyit. Letak pancing je, lekat, letak je lekat.. aku pancing sambil berdiri lagik, tak rasa mabuk or gayat pun. Dlm 1/2 hour pastu, gerak lagi ke tengah laut nak pegi port ikan besar. Tunggu punya tunggu, takde ikan besar pun.. yg dapat ikan sederhana je - ikan kembung, ikan kerisi and tah apa lagi nama (sebenornya tak tahu nama ikan :P).. by 12pm matahari dah naik, aku mula la rasa panas, and ngantuk (mmg ngantuk bila angin tiup kuat). And all this time aku dok duduk tempat redup jek. Bila kanan panas, aku pindah kiri and vice versa. Last2 aku tertido bersandar kat tiang boat. Of course camera kat aku je, sbb tak nak org lain ambik aksi2 selebet aku yg tertido...huhuhuh.

At about 2pm, B woke me up. Harum bau kari ikan..jgn tak percaya, tekong bot tu masak kari ikan atas bot pakai gas. Kari takde santan tapi sedap nak mampus. Ikan plak rasa manis je, ikan fresh la katakan.. tak tipu punya sedap. Tengok gambo..But not for long.. tak sempat pun nasi tu hadam aku rasa dlm perut aku... aku dah muntah. I think sbb aku tertido sebelum tu kat tiang dgn kepala migraine semua, terhambur la segala isi perut. Yen plak dok gelak kat aku, hampeh.. nasib baik B cepat2 dtg urut belakang.

It was awful and I decided to sleep properly kat tempat yg disediakan walaupun hanya pangkin kayu. Jap terjaga, jap tertido.. tapi aku tak gerak kuar la dari pangkin tu sbb tak mo kena panas la kononnya. Dlm 6.30pm aku start kuar pegi duduk dekat B sbb nak ambik gambar scenery senja (picture in previous post). Masa tu air dah start pasang and bot goyang tak hengattt punya. And aku berjaya muntah 3 kali lepas tu. TIGA ok? B dah start projek candat sotong...aku teringin sgt nak join tapi badan aku dah lemah sgt and i continued sleeping. Sempat Ina bisik kat telinga aku "Baik kak Amy doa hujan turun cepat..kalau hujan turun, sure Abg Jamal ajak balik..tak tunggu besok pagi dah"..

And by midnight, dlm mamai tu aku dengar la atap pangkin tu bunyi hujan. Happy gila walaupun tak larat angkat kepala. Aku ada rasa B urut2 hujung kaki sbb dia tahu aku tak larat sgt dah. I woke up around 3am and rasa lega sgt bila B cakap "Kita dah sampai balik, B" .. happy! Rupanya banyak gak sotong yg B dapat and his brothers and cousin dok citer B yg paling banyak tangkap sotong sbb yg lain dah mabuk sangat dah, tak larat. Sian B. Tapi happy gila mamat ni- tengok gambo, panjang-panjang dan besor sotong tu - sedap. Even Yen dapat ikan jerung kecik..aku tak tahu la apa jadi kat ikan tu, yg pasti aku tak makan la... :P.
Balik tu arrived kat Abg Jamal's house around 3.30am, sembang dgn MIL sampai 4am.. and dengar cerita2 diaorg - rupanya sampai 5 ekor ular air lekat kat kail diaorg..and they had to throw the kail... ewww..takutnya! Pastu, MIL and SIL dah start tegur muka aku "Merahnya muka Amy, sure terbakor ni..siap la mengelupas kulit tu nanti"..I just laughed it off, still dok pikir takkan la nak jadi teruk sgt kut..

Besok pagi tu bangun and I looked into the mirror..and I had this same reaction..

Merah gila ok..mmg totally sunburned...aku tengok pun takut. Dlm gambar atas tu tak nampak sgt - tapi sebenarnya mmg merah gila - macam udang kena bakar. Kat office ni, ramai gila dah bertanya naper dgn kulit aku - dari jauh pun dah nampak. Dia punya pedih la kulit,both under my eyes dgn hidung... tu la, padan muka aku kan tak nak pakai sunblock. That Sunday morning, all of us went to Pantai Sepat - for barbeque and mandi-manda. I'm not so keen to mandi manda sbb dok phobia dgn matahari lagi :D. And by 5pm, aku dah masuk laut join diaorg. B ajar berenang tapi pakai life jacket. Best gak sbb I was able to float and kuak2 lentang semua.. susah gak nak belajar berenang.. puas kayuh tangan dgn kaki tapi tak gerak sangat pun.. B kata "Takpe, ombak kuat sbb tu awak tak gerak". Pandai dia nak sedapkan hati aku kan? Took some pictures masa kat pantai..
Seperti biasa, sure aku akan ambik gambar scenery. Aku suka sangat tengok gambar laut dan awan..Kalau tak pasal aku dah lembik kat atas bot tu, sure lagi banyak gambar or video yg aku ambik. Malam lepas BBQ, pegi hantar Iwan kat bus stop as he needs to go for a seminar the next day. Only B and me yg pegi hantar sbb kitaorg plan nak berdua-duaan dating :D. Makan nasi dagang yg murah dan sedap (and so sinful..habis la diet ku).Singgah Megamall jap carik pharmacy sbb tak tahan sgt kulit muka. Bought Aloe Vera gel yg sejuk and soothing. Then we went to Teluk Cempedak - saja ronda2. Banyak betul berubah tempat tu. The last time I went there was more than 10 years ago dgn my family masa Ayah ada kursus kat area tu.

Monday - hari yg menyusahkan B. Pagi2 aku dah bangun mandi. Tengah pakai baju dlm toilet tu, I felt a sharp pain kat buttock - on the right side. Aku dah pernah kena gigit lebah kat kampung B dulu so I know it must be some bug la. Memula tak nampak, so aku diamkan je walapun sakit, I thought maybe semut kut. Sambung pakai baju, kena lagi, this time on the left buttock plak. Like wtf la kan?? Sakit nak mampus tau - sentap makcik. Then I looked down, there was this tebuan..tebuan ok?? Nak pengsan aku rasa time tu. Lepas dah gigit 2 kali, pandai lak tebuan tu buat2 pengsan atas toilet floor tu. Menci aku! Aku cepat2 minta minyak and sapu kat tempat kena tu (of course B la terpaksa sapukan) and praying that the pain will go away. Hmmphh jgn harap. Makin berdenyut ada la.. depa dah start buat joke dah, yela sampai 2 kali kena sengat.. last2 tak tahan dgn denyutan tu, ajak B gi clinic, I just want an injection..FAST!

Masuk bilik doktor, bila aku cerita aku kena gigit 2 kali..doktor tu tanya "Awak kena gigit kat pokok ke?" Dia macam tak percaya je aku kena gigit masa kat dlm toilet.. harumpphh. So, i got a jab and painkillers and ubat bengkak. Nasib baik la tak bengkak.. macam kelakar la kalau bengkak kat situ kan? Tetiba je punggung makin maju ke belakang..:P. Masa tunggu ubat tu, aku dah la tahan sakit, B bleh buat lawak "Saya rasa kan tebuan tu geram tengok putih gebu tu, sbb tu dia gigit. Tak pernah plak org lain kena, alih2 awak dtg terus kena". Bleh? Buat lawak masa aku tengah tahan sakit?! Apa lagi, satu tamparan kuat di peha nya diikuti dgn cubitan maut and pastu aku yg nangis. Sakit tau, ingat tak sakit ke kena gigit tebuan? Kelam kabut dia peluk2 pujuk sbb aku dah teresak-esak kat situ. Nurse tu pun pandang je. Tapi aku dapat ice cream orange lepas tu untuk memujuk :D.

We then packed and meet Abg Jamal kat office for lunch, beli some keropok lekor untuk my family.. Arrived KL at 5pm and bila lalu depan OU, B terus ajak tengok wayang. Masih nak memujuk la tu..we decided to watch Shrek.. nasib baik la weekdays, dgn tak booking dulu, terus beratur jek around 5.20pm padahal show at 5.30pm. I waited alone in the queue sbb B gi rushing solat Asar. Rupanya ada another show at 5.45pm, so I took the later one so that B can take his time. Aku paling malas beratur nak beli popcorn tu sbb panjang gila - byk parents bawa anak gi tengok Shrek sbb school holidays kan? So, I told B that we just buy inside la sbb selalunya ada counter bukak kat dlm to buy snacks. They only let us in at 6.00pm and much to my dissappointment, snack counter kat dlm tu tak bukak pun.

B yg sporting tunggu sampai aku duduk dlm cinema, and he went out to buy the popcorn kat counter luar. Rasa bersalah ok? Tapi nasib baik by the time he's back, show still belum start. There's this annoying couple seated beside us. Dah la sneak in mcDonalds,macam nak makan kat rumah je gayanya. Masa B belum sampai with the drinks and popcorn, they occupy my cup holder..hello, tak bleh agak sendiri ke, dah ko tu duduk belah kiri sekali and you have a cup holder on the far left, sah2 la ko letak drinks on your left kan? Mula2 the guy bawa kuar drinks dia and put on his left, the girl pun bawa kuar her drinks and put it on her right (which is supposed to be mine). Pelik gak aku sbb diaorg tak perasan ke in between them ada another cup holder? Pastu sambil menikmati burger diaorg, bleh bawa kuar lagi satu drinks and put it in the middle cup holder. So, maknanya couple ni occupy 3 cup holder. Bila drinks aku sampai, aku pun ala-ala berlagak bodoh dan buat2 tertanya-tanya mana yekkk nak letak air aku since belah kanan B pun occupied with the other person's drinks. Keh keh..nasib baik girl tu perasan and slowly angkat dia punya drinks dari cup holder aku..sheesh, nak kena pretend to be dumb baru bleh jalan agaknya...dah le asyik peluk je,rimas aku tengok. Pegi la beli couple's seat tu kalau nak sgt berpeluk sakan.. ramai bebudak la tengok citer Shrek ni.. aku tengok parents pun menjeling tengok couple ni :)

Anyways, I enjoyed Shrek 3.. funny..and having B beside me just makes the whole movie worth watching. So, itu la cerita2 gembira sebelum aku berduka dan bersedih..


In summary (wah, dah berjela-jela citer baru nak summary??) I enjoyed the fishing trip dgn B tapi aku dah serik dgn mabuk dan sunburned and mmg takmo ikut dah. Biarla dia enjoy dgn kawan2 or his brothers for their next trip. I would rather stay at home in my room with full blast aircond watching movies or blogging :).

Besok, more sad stories to come... more bad news. Nanti la aku update..

Kat tengah laut... biru dan mendamaikan

The love of my life.. doing what he loves

Aku takde mood nak cerita pasal weekend trip tu.. Trip tu ok, well ada ok dan tak ok nya. Mmg on the way balik, dah plan nak blog about it..gambar pun dah ambik banyak - bagi aku la.

Tapi bila balik - ada mende tak kena : mende2 yg aku tak suka dan buat aku hangin. Tapi aku cuba control, masak sambal sardine je sbb aku teringin sangat, dah minta tolong mama masak nasi so that bila aku sampai, terus masak je. Masa masak- air mata dah bergenang. Tapi tahan. Then ajak hubby makan, control lagi. Naik atas, masuk bilik - and I cry like nobody's business at his shoulders. Sampai basah baju dia. It took me 10 minutes to calm myself down lepas endless pujuk and hugs by hubby.

I don't think I can take this anymore - been trying to be the best daughter for the past 30 years and best wife for the past 4 years and surely, I can't please everyone and be the best. And I have myself to blame - not trying hard enough to look for job so that I can finally move out and stay in Klang with him. Not working hard enough at home to make sure everything is nicely arranged and taken care of (not with this amount of space and time-after-work I'm having now, definitely!). YA - I have myself to be blame - only ME. Aku yg tak pernah bersyukur dgn rezeki dan ujian Tuhan untuk aku.

And besok dah start kerja balik. I'm sure I'll be busy - dgn muka yg merah kena sunburned yg amat teruk - with mata yg bengkak after tonight. I'll update about the weekend trip after I'm done feeling useless about myself..

Betullah kata arwah Tok - jgn leka sangat bila dah happy. Still remember her words "Suka tu lawannya duka...bila dah suka sangat, mesti ada benda nak menangis". How true.

Right now, I'll go and crawl back to the snoring lover's arms.

p/s : No calls/emails/sms/comments related to this blog post will be entertained. I'll be ok in couple of days, biasalah aku....:)

Looking forward to the weekend

Firstly, a shout out to my dear friend, Cik Zieda@Zieeda@Z.Y@oxymoron :

Happy Birthday

The happy couple - picture 'curik' from her blog ..ngeh ngeh

Here's wishing for many-many birthdays to come.. I love you!

####################################################################

We're off to Kuantan tonight lepas solat Maghrib. Will be there till Monday (I took leave on Monday). Am quite excited sbb hubby, me, his elder brother, younger brother, sister and cousin will be going to the sea - my first time. He and bro has been talking on the phone about this since last week - selang sehari sure call dok discuss2, update. Poyo jek! :P

Mama kata macam nak bukak kedai!!

Aku cam biasala, packing bags, packing food.. this morning, made two instant yogurts - mango and grape to bring over to Kuantan. And tonight, balik keje je buat cream caramel for my sis in law. Lepas letak atas api, aku naik atas borak dgn hubby sampai leka. Bila teringat, cepat2 turun bawah, nasib baik - air baru je kering sekontang-kontangnya. Kalau aku leka lagi, mmg hitam legam la periuk kukus mama. But the cream caramel doesn't look nice la. Aku pun malas nak snap picture. Tapi aku tahu, walaupun rupa dia buruk, sis in law tetap akan baham sampai habis punya... mmg rasa berbaloi walaupun penat. :P

Memang best jadik somi...aku rasa la. Macam laki aku ni. Kalau kitaorg gi mana2, dia mmg rilek je.. aku yg terbongkok2 lipat baju, iron baju, pack dlm bag. Sbb dia tahu, kut mana pun, his hair creme, handphone charger, toothbrush, stockings, kain pelikat would be intact. Aku akan siapkan segalanya. Bertuah sungguh yek awak!

Nanti aku update trip ke Kuantan yek? I really hope it's a good one. Enjoy your weekend people! Drive carefully...
