:: predicting a busy week ahead ::

had a good weekend at home after sucha looooong time tak spend masa dekat rumah. took the opportunity to 'spring clean' the wardrobe. mengasingkan baju-baju yang tak muat semakin mengecut untuk dipasskan kepada mereka yang bernasib baik. banyak weh baju tak leh sarung dah, not to mention seluar slack ku yang dulu cun melecun saiz s. adeh. bukan sikit2 punya naik nih, lompat 2 size okay! (nyata i jaguh lompat pagar)

stress dan agak down kalau nak dikenang2 perubahan size itew. tapi tak pe la. setiap qadha dan qadar yang diturunkan kepada setiap hambaNya ada kebaikannya. tu yang aku dgr dari Dr Fadzilah Khamsah semalam, semasa dia bacakan potongan hadith.

anyway, i'm predicting a quieter blog this next few days as i'll be attending a course kat klang. jauh nye!

okay la all. nak kena start balik buat keje. lunch time dah over.

ps - blogging guna laptop boss. pc ku masuk workshop, rasanya kena virus conflicker. jangan la hilang data2 aku. dalam tuh stock archive almost 4 years punya keja yang tak penah dibackup! huhuuuuuu! seriau kalau nak bayang..

ps no. 2 - aku kena ingat to clear history browsed pages. haha. tau tak pe.. :D

:: fikiranku serabut ::

pretty tired, after returning from kota bharu, yesterday evening. i missed the boys so much, and was thinking of playing with my boys when i arrived home (7.00pm), just to find them ASLEEP. so tak dapat la mommy bermanja-manjaan dengan the boys. and this morning, they are still asleep when i dropped them at my mom's place.

anyway, hubby broke the news last 2 days. so far, verbally his boss dah instruct him to be transfered to a far, far away land. i, initially, have agreed to follow him (Read : amek unpaid leave for a year). but that was the initial plan. latest development, i've got to know that there's a high potential that numbers of junior engineers will be promoted to senior posts, insya Allah, should the re-org be approved. kalau ada rezeki, insya Allah, my name will be in, and again that leaves me with no other choice but to ask hubby to proceed with his job, and i stay behind in kl with the boys. promotion in government agencies are pretty rare, so i just simply can't let this opportunity fly away!

i'm torn in between. i want my career to advance, but at the same time, i want my husband to be around with the kids. the terms for his transfer is different. bukannya macam tukar base. kalau tukar base, every 2.5 months dapat cuti 2 minggu and all expenses paid to and fro homeland. tapi for his case, he's in attachment basis, which means there is no provision for him to return home for the whole period of posting (read till april 2010) unless being called back for meetings or courses. it leaves me thinking, what will happen to my boys?

as for now, i'm hoping that his transfer will be delayed and dragged for sometime, so that i could get a clearer vision on what will transpire next. hopefully, by then, i'll be able to perform istikharah, be given the hidayah and make the best decision for all.

frankly speaking, i'm afraid of being left behind. it's not because i don't trust him that he might be having affairs, but merely because, what has happened in the past. last year, during his long trips to far, far away land, i landed into a huge row and arguements with some relative who accuse me of using my mom to look after my two boys. i dikatakan menghambakan my own mom. frankly speaking, after that incident, i turned to someone who prefer to manage my boys on my own, as much as possible, no matter what. the words were harsh, and i was smacked down to smithereens. i was heavily pregnant at that time, and i know how much i depend on my maid and my mom due to the heaviness, but seems, that is not the reason to get help. masa lepas kena smash tu, memang i was thinking of either quitting my job or send my boys to the nursery so that i won't bother anyone. tapi as usual, my thoughts were denied by my own mom. it was not the first time i was being said so, but that was the second. sangat terguris hati & hurt. terasa macam tak boleh nak mintak tolong langsung sedangkan masa tuh i mengandung heavily (about 7-8 months pregnant). ibu² mengandung sure tahu macamana heavynya time tuh, and with two boys yang berumur 1 tahun 2 bulan, yang baru dapat bertatih, u can imagine how hard it was for me at that time to move around. well, that was the reason sebenarnya kenapa i nak berenti kerja. sampai sekarang, what that person said to me i pegang sampai bila², and makes me realize, that i cannot rely on anyone else to help me to jaga my own sons. and i berdoa banyak² pada Allah supaya i diberi umur panjang yang bermanfaaat so that anak² i won't bring any kesusahan to sesiapa sekalipun. that's why i don't really bother about the pantang larang. banyak gak yang aku langgar, and i hope it won't bring any harm to me in the future. sebabnya, aku tanak peluh org lain yang menitis sebab jaga anak aku tu dilabel menyusahkan. orang nak kata aku 'ketegaq' pun katalah, tapi trust me, hati ibu mana yang tak terguris bila anak² yang kita kandung tuh seolah² menyusahkan orang lain. tidak pernah terlintas dekat hati i nak biarkan my anak² macam tuh aje tanpa rasa kasih sayang dan didikan dari ibu dia sendiri. and that's why bila OH cakap on the possibilities, i mula terfikir balik what has happened, and i takut it will happen again. i tak tau apa yang kan jadi if it happens again. enough said, tamau la ingat lagi apa yang dah jadi, and tamau pikir lagi apa yang akan jadik. kalau ikut rasa sebu hati nih, banyak lagi nak tulis, tapi rasanya cukup la aku sorang jek yang makan. kenyang makan semua kata² tuh. and yes, i sekarang orangnya pendendam dan pemendam, and the only person that i can let everything out is only my OH, not even my own mom sebab takut nanti ada yang kata i membebani my mom dengan masalah i.

for now, i just want to ease my mind. tamau serabut². fokus kerja. take care all.

:: distracted mind ::

excited but worried.
want but don't want to.

for sure i'm blurry.

no, the two lines haven't appeared yet (for those thinking i'm preggy)

but it's just, should i get the book russian for dummies handy?that's for survival mode.

~ mindful trinkets, distracted mind.. ~

:: melalut ::

was expecting a 'free and easy' weekend. but it didn't turn into reality. :D

friday night ~
simple celebration with my IL's family to celebrate TOH's 31st birthday. alhamdulillah, cheesecake yang i beli dari yatt mendapat sambutan hebat. yea. cheesecake dia sgt sedap! my favourite is - yatt's special cheesecake. with a hint of coffee, laden with choc ganache, filled with bits of kandos, and juicy strawberries drizzled with choc on walnut bits - this cake is superbly heaven! (menggoda kan? kan? kan?)

saturday ~
takde program sangat pun. tapi dok rush sana sini, beli groceries etc. then tetiba pulak SIL inform sunday nak buat BBQ. celebrate FIL+MIL's 38th anniversary. we were asked to prepare some chicken. nasib tepon ada 3G, dalam kereta terus bukak webbie rinnchan cari resepi marinade. (sbb all this while, kalau i marinade, i belasah pakai BBQ sauce saje with onions + pepper) so, since this is a special occassion, i nak la jugak jaga reputasi i impress my in laws kan? get my hubby to get the ingredients (rumah i nih occassionally jek masak, so pepaham la kalau bahan asas pun kekadang takde). lepas a simple dinner of ikan sebelah yang dikorbankan menjadi crispy fillet yang dibalut dengan tepung tempura brand jusco yang murah itu with potato chips yang juga segera plus coleslaw sedap drpd kfc, i pun memulakan langkah silat dekat dapur me-marinade-kan segala chicken yang telah dibeli. nasib baik ada maid. suruh maid siapkan segala bahan, i tinggal campur tolak darab bahagi gaul ayam tuh ngan all the spices. (will put up the recipe + picca later kat my other blog okay?)

sunday ~
on sunday morning, we went for a brekkie kat luar. i'm not a fan of nasi dagang, but we had nasi dagang that morning. many thanx to my half terengganu son - afiq hazman. yeah, anakku itew sangat suka makan nasi dagang. mommy dia baru cakap kat daddy yang mommy rasa mommy tak terbelajar la nak masak nasi dagang terengganu, tapi nampak gayanya, kenala jugak menuntut ilmu ngan my MIL masak nasi dagang nih. adeh! afiq didn't stop at nasi dagang only, he even makan keropok lekor yeah? aduh!!!!

anyway, after the hearty brekkie, we head to kedai gunting rambut. rambut anak²ku sudah panjang (my sons penakut gunting rambut, apatah lagi ke kedai mamak, i pun tak faham). we went to the chinese lady near my IL's house (itupun si afiq dok geleng² kepala cakap tamau gunting bila nampak aunty tuh pegang mesin cukur tuh. don't asked me how high is his desibel yesterday morning kat kedai tuh). i pun amek kesempatan gunting rambut sebab gugur teruk sangat (sgt normal apabila 4 bulan lepas bersalin). so tata to my long hair, sekarang dah kontot macam rambut TOH. takpe, i SPORTY. :P so 2-3 bulan nih jimat la shampoo (menyedapkan hati).

petang tuh, as usual buat 'site visit' kat jusco setiawangsa. bawak jugak anak buah yang dulu pengekor setia sebelum kehadiran the twin. sampai² jek jusco, she said to my OH, 'atiqah belum makan nasi lagik..' berlapikkan???? haha. sangat bersopan anak buahku itu. beli jugakla donut (yang i pun tumpang sekaki). hehe menyesal.

malam tuh, makan besar kat rumah IL. sampai tak larat nak makan. balik dr umah IL, naik atas weight scale.. aiyaaaaaaaa!! IT CAN'T BE TRUE! puas aku shed off the kgs, how come it comes back??

so after terkujat tengok wighing scale:-
resolution terkini - no more dinner.
keadaan semasa - puasa
plan bukak pose - makan sup² jek
what's next -
1. cari dvd aerobik & WORK OUT
2. tepon kak z** beli jus to control my food intake. (bley?)


ps - i pose ari nih. tu pasal my entry bila sampai bab makan jek dia punya elaboration berlebih². maafkan saya kalau saya turut menggoda mana² pihak yang juga sedang berusaha untuk menurunkan berat badan seperti saya.

:: confession of a shopaholic the movie : review ::

i'm a kinsella's fan, and i think most people know about it.

yesterday, i took a leave for pre-birthday celebration for my OH. locked ourselves in GSC MV as early as 11.00am to watch the hot 'confession of a shopaholic' movie.

the verdict - 2 thumbs up for this movie. isla fischer visualize the chatracter of becky very² well, hugh dancy played luke brandon well. so did kristen ritter aka suze, jane cusack aka jane bloomwood, john goodman playing graham bloomwood. in short, the movie is damn good, that i made a point that i want to buy the dvd once it's out!

but i believe, it would be better kalau alicia tuh blonde. lagi gedik.

anyway, i tanak cerita byk. grab ur tix n enjoy the movie. :D klu i cerita byk, nnt spoil pulak mood org yang tak tengok lagik. :D

but anyway, the part yang paling i suka was - the part that becky speaks in finnish, introducing alicia to the business partners. sgt kelakar dan kurang ajar! haha.

ps - now i know kenapa patung² kat mesia yang dlm shopping malls takdak kepala..

ps no. 2 - jue, scarf becky dalam COS tuh sweet sgt. :D
