Ramadhan musing

Salam all..

ehh macam tulis email..hahah..

Anyways, some things that I want to get off my chest :-

1) Bought 1 way ticket for my maid. After giving us 3 times of ultimatum "kalau tak dapat this this this, saya nak berhenti kerja" *sigh*. Yes! please go, just go. Kinda sad it ends this way, really. I was damn pissed with her but at the same time thinking the good things she has done to us, I soothed my heart to just simply forgive her especially in this holy month. Takpelah, hopes more rezeki will be on my side with Allah grants me with a better helper.

2) Now, reality bites, I still have not gotten a new maid :( Been looking high and low but still tarak, elek! One friend promised to help me look for Orang Asli to become a house helper. Apa2lah dek non, asalkan match with my criteria.

3) Now a million dollar question, who's going to take care of my honey buns? Either my mother or MIL? Since they are really old esp my mother who have just turned 68 last 26th Aug (Alhamdulillah), I was very clueless until yesterday in surau, I thought why not stay put at my mother's house until we get a new maid and will try to look for Indon ladies nearby that are willing to work from 8-6, Mon-Fri? Look I will..

4) Do you know that we have been camping at my mak's place for nearly 11 mths? grrrr...rumahku syurgaku hotelku :P

5) Nael has been diligently berpuasa separuh hari (2pm onwards) everyday except on 6th Ramadhan, he had the full day. Good boy!! ohh and he even makan masa sahur dengan mata tutup mulut jer nganga everyday without fail. Bagus! bagus! tak susah nak bangun. 1 tip is to dokong jer budak nie :))

6) Nampaknya hajat nak buat kenduri cum Raya Open house cum birthday Aidan in Syawal kena postpone lagi. Too much things to do with little help and time to scout for things..tak sempatlah!! pressure..pressure.

Working mothers and kids performance in school

Each time school going kids' mommies in this blogsphere write about their kids performance in school, it sure did send chills down my spine. They are our beloved vogue mommies Gart, OO, Butterflutter and Famy..Elisa and Lollis tak kira coz theirs are in International schools in foreign land :) It's mind boggling as I can't keep these questions at ease, will my kids suffer in their exams? will he do great in his studies? will he behave in school? will he be cornered by some school bullies? but mainly is about academic.

I know I have another 8 more months moonlighting..spare me...being kiasu paranoid parent, I can't help myself from worrying as I also have a live in examples from my nephew and nieces. Btw, fyi...Zan's clan has been camping in our parents' house for the last 4 months. So, I get to witness how daily my mother will talk about her cucus' doings in school and how I see the limited time my sister try to squeeze in teaching her daughter, revisions, homework for Sek Agama & Sek Kebangsaan in between her take home work, makan and other stuff. Fyi, my brothers' kids are sent to my parents house to makan, do homework, study and tuition. Therefore, I also get the 1st hand report on these kids studies.

Somehow, I envy and actually happy that my nieces and nephews are well taken care off. From what I gather from my mak, Year 1 & 2 are still ok, wait till you see their Math and Science in Year 3. My mak also been reporting to me on the Pemahaman & penulisan and how this one doing good as she loves reading, therefore, she has creative ideas on her writing skills..then comes to Math for Year 5, my mak will report to me.."yg nie suka buat careles mistakes laa" "yg nie tak paham soalan" "yg nie tak reti nak fikirlah" naik pening dan gerun jugaklah dengar :P

So, to sum up, to prepare myself for next year, I have sacrifice my TV time, more on focusing Nael's homework, reading to him, reading with him, doing Year 1 Math work book, do some English & BM workbooks. Bottom line is spend more time with him..sometimes, I just so envy SAHM :(

Posting nie takde purpose sebenarnya..semata2 nak mengupdate jer!!

Bye bye, hi hi...

Ouchhh..it's been ages since I last logged in to this account..yikes!!! and now it's already 2009 :)

I have been busy for the last one month in the office. Boss was away for haj and I have to take over his stuff and I'm sooooo very glad that it's over!!!I mean he's back and now I'm on leave for the rest of the week..yay!!!Handling RM1.5mil project wasn't easy peasy but I love the coordinating part, giving out instructions to ahemmm...guys who are some of them senior than me and they really listen and I did make some important decision...to tell the truth, I felt good..seriously after many moons of complaining about my mundane job but now I felt it's all worth it when people look up to me. All the while I've been a shadow to my boss but now it's different and I hope it will remain the same or even better.

Hokehhhh..enough of work...back to the brood...I'm on leave and I do enjoy it every minute, waking up so very late ..( err..lepas subuh tido bangun kul 9:30, lambat tak?) the kids? yes the kids are loving it too..having both of us with them, they are really spoil. We didn't go anywhere, mostly spending time at our own home and moi and helper been decluttering every nook and corner. In every cabinets, we sweep clean and rearrange stuff in the kitchen, in the rooms and most time are spend on the kids toy room...goshhh...berapa banyak kali kemas, macam tak pernah kemas. All the kids baju lama are repack, relabel and the Toyogo boxes rearrange. Filings of leftovers letters is tomorrow's agenda, that will not take much time as I have done biannual filings last month..pheww...but I have to sort 1 year pictures in albums..dang! and also planning to reaaring things in the store room...man!! cukup ker lagi 3 hari?

The reason we were not going anywhere as some might ask coz I declined combi's invitation earlier was due to the last minute plan by my brother's family to have our year end family getaway earlier than expected. This year, our leave were not match hence we were on our seperate ways. We only took the kids to zoo yesterday! Goshhh...it's big and thank god not many people and the weather was superb, sunshine but breezy. My couch potato and game master kid, Nael complained that he walked too much and he's already sweating, so we should all just go home...*roll eyes*. We were only there for 2 hours hehehe...Aidan was annoyed as he was very much into looking for ummi's bossom for comfort.."I want it now, now, NOWWWW for my afternoon nap" *roll eyes*.



"Teringat kat Elisa n Lollies when I see this stinking camel huhuhuh.."

Salam Maal Hijrah and A Happy New Year to all :)

Nyet nyet nyet...

Hari ni kan saya rasa nak komplen banyak2..tapikan saya rasa tak patut buat camtu, kena selalu bersyukur kan kan kan...tapikan saya tengah sakit hatilaa, jadi saya terasa mcm nak membebel pulak :( grrrr...

Hati nie mcm bengkerk jer dengan maid saya....terasa macam dia nie dah macam jadi semakin malas, ambik kesempatan dan tak tahu nak ambik hati saya grrrr.... memang perasan dia nie semakin menunjukkan her true colors lepas incident mintak naik gaji sebelum raya hari tu. Not even 1 year, dah mintak naik gaji :( pastu pastu saya dapat tahu anak saya makan nasi kosong sebab dia m.a.l.a.s nak goreng telur :( dia sendiri yg kata "saya malaslah nak goreng..." grrrr..pastu pastu semalam, anak saya kelaparan lagi uhuk uhuk...haiyaaa...susah rasanya..nak marah dia tu dah tua, nak cakap mmg dah berbuih dah mulut...sekejap jer laa dia buat, pastu lupa balik...

Times like this I always try to look into her positive things to counter her negative attitude...takpela dia dah tua, takpelah dia tak ingat, takpelah mungkin dia penat...yelah manusia kan mmg tak lari dari buat kesalahan :P Nampaknya, i think i have to let her go after next raya and try a younger one and wishing to get a GodSend house helper :P boley?

Kalau tak pun, saya jer lah yang jadi house helper, habis cerita! HA HA HA...

- the employer who close one eye on any discrapencies found in house chores but not the well beings of the kiddos as she the employer herself does everything for the kiddos once she stepped in the house and the house helper has her own Aruna fix from 9:00pm onward.
