MY MOTHER

Huh, this morning I dapat heart attack when I got to know mama was admitted to hospital at 230am. And when dad told me she has mild stroke, whua, lagi I tak senang duduk kat KL ni.

Alhamdulillah, Ma is better now. Dah keluar pun dari observation ward, now dah pindah ward biasa. Tapi doktor still tahan dia until the results are out tomorow. I was thinking of going back to SP after work, dah plan semua with adik & kakteh. Then around 530pm tadi Ma called and tak bagi balik pulak. Ni ayong la ni pi bukak mulut bagitau kitorang nak balik. Dah agak dah, dia tak bagi. She said, she is fine now, blood preasure pun dah turun normal, dah boleh cakap, dah boleh gerak kaki, tangan & badan. She rather I stay in KL, finish up all my work, and come back safely this Friday morning. Nanti kitorang rushing balik malam ni, dia yg tak senang hati. Hmm, mama ni boleh tahan degil tu. I dah habis argue ngan dia, tak bagi balik jugak. Nak harap my dad jaga dia, hmm... tadi pun mama dah komplen babah bawak baju salah dari rumah.

I know she will feel lonely & bored doing nothing in hospital. She is very active although she is 60 years old now. Still have the energy doing so many things & rajin. Will never take NO as an answer, always carik jalan to get what she wants. Kitorang, anak-anak dia, although kuat melawan cakap dia, but at the end, will follow what she said, either pity her, or feel guilty lawan cakap dia. Usually rasa guilty la, hehehehe.

I hope she will get well soon. Risau jugak sbb selalu dia yang jaga kitorang sakit. Now dia yang sakit. Sempat lagi tu mengadu tadi sape nak bagi babah makan kalau dia kat hospital. She is worried that I'm coming home this Friday with my friend, takda sape nak masak & entertain. Sempat lagi tu bebel kat I make sure jgn tinggal sembahyang. Hmm...

Okay la, nak balik dah. My mom said thanks to everyone yg kirim salam.

p/s : My condolence to p5 & fahroe atas kehilangan sahabat mereka 9m2gl. They have lost a friend, a mentor, a legend in ham radio. Malam tadi sempat ikut fahroe ziarah family arwah & sedekah kan surah yasin. I've met arwah few times whenever I ikut F to the club. Last I met him on Sunday kat UM where he was very healthy & cheerful. Tapi Allah lebih sayangkan dia.

Myself, Adik, Hariz & Mama.

CHECK ALL BIRDS

Hmm, I have to start eating other food besides chicken. Ini bird flu manyak bikin problem la. Aiyak!!!!!!

Sayur I tak makan, daging liat, ikan tak sedap, seafood byk-byk tak boleh la. I had rojak buah for lunch today. Besok tak tau la nak mkn apa pulak. Ini macam kena start makan sayur la. Eeerrrkkkkk!!!!!!

Makan ayam satu rutin harian dalam hidup saya for the past 30 years. Now cannot eat pulak, trauma la macam ni. Dulu kat Canberra sampai berkejaran keliling rumah rebut chicken wing or drumstick. Tapi this particular guy memang suka ambik ayam I dari pinggan. Sampai sekarang tak senang mata kalau tengok I makan ayam. And my other friends too love to sakat me when it comes to ayam or food that relates to chicken. (hah, sengih la korang baca ni!!!!)

Workload dah ringan sket skrang. Most of the bookings dah issue tickets, now headache nak buat report plak. After dah settle semua, I nak buat planning for my holidays plak. Asyik plan holiday orang saja. Kakteh has been sick for the past few days. Dia tak kerja hari ni. I've not seen her like I used to do nowadays. Both of us seems to have our very own busy life.

Okay la, today nak balik awal. Need to have my sosial life back!!! 9 more days to April. Yeah yeah!

10 DAYS TO APRIL

Aiyak, cepat la habis March ni, so I can have back my normal life!!!!

Hari ni banyak kerja, makan pun banyak!!! Hehehehe. Have to skip gym over the weekend, and this week too. I wish I can duplicate myself, then can finish all the work. Am off this Saturday! Boleh cover tido, go to gym, see my friends, tengok wayang, go dating, kemas rumah, do my laundry & then pamper my body. But mama mungkin datang, so, hmm... no way la nak lepak-lepak. Baru teringat, kena jadi driver to Putrajaya.

Today is one of my close friend-Sarah's birthday. Probably can ask our darling chef to cook something yummy this weekend to celebrate.

Next week I nak balik kampung. Then the following weekend I'm having a long break again.

But, untill then, kena kerja la dulu. Matta Fair was alright. I will have to wait until Friday to see the exact figure we made. But estimation done this afternoon, it was more than our target, so kira okay la tu. I hope I can get the 2 months bonus this year. To those yg dapat bonus 3-4 bulan tu, tak yah la gatal tukar kerja. Dok ja diam-diam.

Nantilah, after I'm done with this week, I'll write nice things here, not keep on complaining. Korang baca pun boring. Dah pukul 10pm, mau pulang, tapi drebar tak mai lagi. Mau tidok office malam ni.

F1 2006 DAH START

Sempat tengok last 6 laps saja last Sunday. Itu pun sebab singgah rumah Amy. Kalau balik terus memang la tak dapat tengok apa. Then tengok the highlights during the race after that, kira cover semua la tu. When I first got to know apa itu Formula One, I was like : hello, ini tarak keja ka bawak keta pusing-pusing the same lap laju-laju. apa la.... BUT after I had my first experience F1 kat Sepang many years ago with Sarah & Fathil, terus hooked sampai sekarang. I think I like best time year 2000 & 2003 (Minah : Ingat tak that very-very long weekend??? Hehehehehehe)

This year I nak tengok Rosburg & Webber from Williams, then Kimi la - tengok apa lagi miracle dia nak buat (last weekend dr last naik podium tu). Last year's was very interesting as finally someone else than M.Schumacher won the GP title. Still long way to go, baru first race kat Bahrain, banyak lagi race nak compete. This weekend kat Sepang, sure pack nanti. Last year pergi punya la awal, tapi still stuck dalam jam.

To those who are going, leave early. Bring lots of water, drinks lots of water there - you need to prepare lots of money too for water, very expensive. Bring newspaper if you're seating at C2 + umbrella for C1. The Ks and Grandstands tak payah lah. But I rather duduk C2, duduk grandstand, bayar mahal-mahal kena berdiri jugak (I ni komplen lebih, every year pergi ticket free, hahahahaha). Wear something comfy & light as it will be very very hot on race day. If you get free tickets, do spend the RM50.00 for parking. Public transport so not efficient.

Okay la, mau pulang.

MY WORKING WEEKEND

Aiyak, last sunday kat ofc, this sunday kat office, apa la. I just got back from Port Dickson, sent kakteh home, & here I am at office. It was a five minute job, need to cancell like 15 tickets or the airline will charge us puluhan ribu ringgit. But to do that very simple thing, I had to go through the traffic, missed my F1 (nasib baik ada ulangan boleh tengok) Nak balik dah, but looking at the front road, no way I can come out from parking lot. Jam gila kat depan tu. Hmm... Dah la last nite tak lena tido my colleague from New York dok call from 2am to 4am informing updates of our pax travelling details.

Went to Port Dickson late last evening with kakteh. Adik tak ikut as he had a wedding to attend. Spent the night at Tiara resort with Ayong, Kak Lin, Hariz & Nurin. Bangchik family with PakAbas pun ada gak. So ramai la. Letih layan Nurin & Hariz. They had fun swimming semalam & this morning. The apartment has 2 rooms, I had the room all to myself as kakteh slept with Nurin kat depan. Lucky we brought our comforter & bantal lebih. The place is new, swimming pool memang best. Unfortunately it is not facing the beach. You have to drive out nak pi mandi pantai. Probably better pergi Ancasa All Suites Resort, the apartment canggih, pool best, and you can walk to the beach. We left PD around 430pm tadi, itu pun nasib baik the 2 kids tak buat perangai. It was always tough to leave them behind. Anak-anak my brother ni lambat mesra, although with their own uncles & aunties. By the time nak start mesra, kitorang nak balik, baru la nak itu ini. Bila kitorang nak balik mesti melalak punya. Hariz dah hitam, main panas kat sekolah. He is doing well in school. Getting good results for all subjects. Nurin dah banyak cakap & loves chocolate (ikut perangai I la tu) And she is very heavy now. And will always buli Hariz (I wonder kenapa kecik2 dulu I tak macam dia, boleh buli ayong!!!!) Thanks ayong for having us.

Nak balik la, mau buat laundry, then tido. My body sakit sebab jadi punching bag Nurin.

By the way, to my friend Wahir, jangan terasa hati ya apa I tulis kat Tagboard tu. I mintak maaf kalau I kasar. I think most of you dah tau a to z pasal myself & who I like. Just leave it as it is for now. Nanti dari I jadi monster craving for carbo, I jadi monster rimas soalan kawin pulak. Sampai masa I kawin la, jangan risau. Tak payah la nak paksa-paksa or kasi reminder, nanti korang yang akan dapat reminder to attend my wedding! ok? (That applies not only to wahir, but to all of you who might be smilling reading this now)

DAH BULAN MARCH!!

Rasa macam baru semalam sambut new year, alih-alih dah march dah? Aiyak!!!! Busy la minggu ni, kerja banyak, semua yang memeningkan kepala. Pening la cari duit untuk company, my duit gaji banyak itu jugak, cet.

Okay, 1st thing nak wish Happy Birthday kat Chalee & Aunty Da. Have to make a point to go opah's house one of these days, or hadiah aunty da nanti peram lagi kat rumah tu. Chalee is going to Japan this weekend, eh besok la. Best la boleh jumpa Shah. Mommy & Paklong pun going. Kalau boleh ikut kan best. Doink la Aida ni, ticket murah tak nak pi. Tak leh cuti la, apa nak buat. Lagi pun nak save nak pi Europe end of the year. Yeah!!! (kalau ada duit dapat save la, hehehehe). March ni ramai nyer orang significant in my life punyer bday la. Sarah & Terry pun coming soon tu.

My diet???? Huh, still going on. Tapi last night I dah taram itu kuey teow la kat Shah Alam. Went to Toy's house, tapau the kueyteow, sedap la sangat. Hmmm.... Hari ni pagi mkn cereal, lunch makan epal. Malam ni tak makan la. My friends are all worried about me going on diet. Yes, I cannot take it at first, but I think I will manage. Tak la sampai tak makan langsung. Kena try kasi low carbo intake. So far, I can survive without the rice (well, last Saturday I had a little bit of rice, kasi hilang rasa mengidam la), but still cannot let go of roti. Don't worry keirul, I dah cerai talak tiga with coke, air manis semua. Now minum air putih berbotol-botol setiap hari.

Best jugak diet ni, I mean banyak orang concern rupanya. Thanks la korang bagi I many tips how to go about it. Will try Nazrah's recommendation. Keirul pun dok bagi resipi makanan yang sihat (how I wish I can just pay him to do the daily cooking, hehehehe). Tak kurang juga those yang decided to join me for diet. Ramai my girl friends email cakap diorang pun nak start diet & going for gym or exercise at their own pace. Bagus la tu, sihat kan badan semua orang! Ramai tanya why after all these years, tetiba semangat satu macam ni? Nak kawin ka? Aiyak, apa la korang, kalau I gemuk still boleh kahwin what?????????? Well, this time I have to thank Iza & Sarah. At least I tau kalau I boleh buat with them, then ada disiplin sikit, tak boleh nak ponteng gym classes. Korang tengok la nanti sampai Jun ada perubahan ka tak? Sekarang baru turun 1kg ja. Banyak lagi kilo kena buang!!!!!! Tengok Sabtu ni ada perubahan tak bila pi check kat gym.

To my friend minah : Nanti kalau June aku dah kurus, jangan lupa ah, belanja itu kasut. Tapi tak mau charles&keith. Nak ninewest boleh tak? Sini mahal la. (Intan kau jgn dengki ha...)

Hujung bulan nak balik kampung. Will spend 2 nights in Sungai Petani, & will be going up to Kangar for my alumni activity. Next month cuti banyak. 31st march - 4th april, then 8th -13th april. Best nyer...

Okayla, mahu pulang. Letih dah otak ni kerja dari pagi. Besok ada date with drebarlori kat madam kwan. Tapi jangan harap la dia nak bagi makan my favourite nasi bojari tu.

Take care everyone!

2 PAGI DI OPIS

Betul la cakap my dad I ni workaholic. 2am, still kat ofc???? Aiyak. Nak balik kejap lagi, I hope!
Had to sacrifice my sleep as my bengong colleague buat hal with the ticket. Pax travelling 6am kejap lagi. Pagi besok mesti cranky ni. Dah la Monday ada BSP. Hmmm...

By the way, dah turun 1kg!!! :) :) :) This weekend mungkin going down south!

GYM, FOOD, DAN SEWAKTU DENGANNYA

Hari Ahad sakit peha, mlm tadi pening kepala, sekarang ni sakit pinggang. Perut kelaparan. The trauma I have to go thru nak kurus ni. Hmm, since monday control my food. I cannot eat nasi, I hate & am bored eating roti. Sayur I tak makan. But I cannot eat maggie mee. So what to eat?

By yesterday evening I dah jadi like my friend Sarah said : Monster craving for carbo!!!! Aiyak. Sungguh susah, but kena go through it. My friends - the guys semua tak confident I can do this. yes, proven previously that it will not work. But this time kena make sure jadi jugak. Dah banyak invest tu. Cari sport shoe & sport bra pun pening kepala. Dah la mahal.

Morelo gila pagi ni! Work, personal, & diet agenda is so not helping me. Whua..... :(
