Satu hari yang pokai

Adik bongsuku, Dik Mas semasa kecil, punya sifat inkuiri yang sangat tinggi hinggalah aku memberinya gelaran Inspektor Gadjet.. owh juga Penyiasat Remaja ( without her knowing of course.. haha.. harap2 dia tak baca entri ni). Walaupun ini adalah refleksi jati diri yang tinggi, kadang kala boleh buat orang naik darah juga.

Dik Mas paling suka menyelongkar beg sekolahku bila pulang dari asrama. Kebiasaannya dia berjaya mendapatkan coklat, gula-gula atau jajan yang aku sorokkan dalam beg, bimbang dimarah mama.

Nisa aku kira mewarisi sifat ini dari MakSu nya. Sekarang dia gemar menyelongkar dompetku, mengeluarkan segala macam kertas yang ada. Sekonyong dia menjumpai syiling, langsung dia menarik tangan ku.

 "Mi, amek tu!" menunjukkan ke arah tabung robotnya yang terletak di atas televisyen di ruang tamu.

Langsung syiling itu dimasukkan dalam tabungnya.

Satu hari dia berhasil mengosongkan dompetku untuk kali kesekiannya dan aku betul-betul terlupa sehinggalah, Murni teman sepejabat mengajakku keluar minum pagi. Waktu itu baru aku sedar aku tidak punya duit barang seringgit pun. Owh anak! huhu

 Lewat pagi itu, Ujang melalui YM bertanya pada aku apakah aku punya sedikit wang di akaun Maybank untuk dipindahkan secara atas talian ke akaunnya. 

"Alhamdulillah, k.am lah penyelamat saya. Saya malas nak pegi bank nih!" katanya sambil menghulurkan beberapa keping wang RM sebagai tukaran pindahan itu. 

Allah.. Allah... 

Dan manakah nikmat tuhan yang mahu kamu dustakan...

Happy 3rd Birthday Utbah

I hardly could find time and ideas to blog nowadays.
Ok, I rephrase, a lot of ideas has been wasted because I didn’t manage my time properly.
But when it comes to the kids, I forced myself to blog, even a single paragraph.

So, Utbah is now 3.
Warm wishes from his aunts and uncles had been received on his Facebook wall's.
O yeah, he got one, though he is yet to write or read. ;)

1st Year of My Nisa'

Her journey into our life started on this date, last year.
Ok, obviously it started way back.
Surviving a 40-weeks-journey in the tummy and then to this momentary world
she is nothing but ecstasy!
Immediately the pain gone astray when i first held her in my arms.

It was four days later than the expected.
The O&G Expert, Dr Hamidah recommended induction.
Misoprostal it may seems.
Clearly i forgot to ask her on the benefits, disadvantages of the procedure.

Yet, all just went well, praise be to the Almighty for that.
And welcoming Khairunnisa', at 1.27 pm, moment after i finished my lunch.
You really know to time your arrival kiddo! ;)
Haven't blog anything about her ever since.
Definitely not denying the fact that she's among the god's greatest gift to us,
i am just plain lazy. ;)

For her first birthday, nothing particularly special.
No celebration, none whatsoever.
Not even a single memorable photo.
Just a simple pink dress yet very nice, a present from our good neighbor.
She even down with fever. Pity her!

Nonetheless, dearest nisa'
those celebration is nothing compared to your existence to me, to us, our small colorful family.
I'll try to write more about you, so you know how wonderful you are!
And perhaps, one day, they will be your treasure when i'm no longer here!
Happy 1st birthday dik cha!

she turns 5

Ain turns 5.
Owh, time really flies!

We went celebrating with a journey to Ipoh by Electric Train Service.
'We' in the picture are Ayah, Mak, Makcik Jasni, Uda, Murni, Intan, Along n me, plus the kids.
The kids, lead by Ain, followed by Utbah, Hafsah, Aisyah, Maryam and Nisa. Wrote their names according to their ages.
The kids only obviously! ;)

Too bad i didn't got a chance to snap any picture to be uploaded together with this entry.
Note to self : gi kecek kat ayah balik kampung kang k!

That was my first time on ETS.
A single ticket cost RM 35 for adult, RM22 for kids (4 years and above)
A return is a bit cheaper, RM 25 for adult and RM 17 for kids.
With 8 adults and 6 kids (5 of them don't need tickets, but due to some misunderstanding, along already bought the tickets for them and sadly, we couldn't asked for refund).. just do the math! Quite an expensive celebration, imho!
What to say, cucu sulung atok la katakan...

The waiting lounge was comfy. So do the couch.
The train moved at approximately 120kmph. It took about 2 hours and 15 minutes to arrive in Ipoh. It's like traveling by car. Awesome!
Definitely a worth method of traveling, yet the fare is a bit burden especially to the frequent travelers.

The journey didn't planned very well. Upon arriving, we were a bit lost. Where to go? What to do? What are the interesting place in Ipoh? Where to celebrate? ::sighed:: I came out with a suggestion, "Lost World of Tambun!"
We took 2 cabs to get there. Unfortunately, due to improper attire, we couldn't get in.

Owh, i had never been there! I really thought that the water park is as the same as Sunway Lagoon, where they have a shopping mall beside. Apparently not! :( Huhu!Ipoh is not really a good choice for cuti-cuti Malaysia. No offence orang Ipoh ye!

i was just quoting the taxi driver, an Ipoh-born Chinese guy.

Change of plan, we went to the nearest shopping mall. It's Giant. I told the story to one of my colleagues, another Ipoh-born lady, and she found it very funny!"Selangor tadde Giant ye?.... sampai ke Ipoh peginye...hehehe"
Yeap.. i found it very funny too!

Ayah and along lost thier Bonia & Hush Puppies at the surau. Uda had to buy new sandals for them. Ayah was so cool..."Dah bukan rezeki kita.. nak buat cemana!" huhuhu...

Reached home @ TM at about 7.30 pm
I was extra exhausted. Let alone Ain.
She was already asleep in Aunt Anis MyVi.
Nisa' & Utbah still had spare energy! They rocks still! Aduhaiiii....
That's the kids world! ;) Had to bear with it!
It's an unforgettable celebration after all!

Happy 5th Birthday dear daughter, Ainul Mardheeyah.
Am really proud to have you in my live!
Hamdallah!

wise words from her

Earlier this morning, ain's school was holding a soccer & netball match inter-PASTI Kawasan Tanjong Malim. Sitting on the stone stool, I was chatting with ain's friends while waiting the event to start. There were 4 of them, including ain. One of them wasn't a familiar face to me.
Try being nice, i started off asking her name. She was a litle bit shy.
So her friends, answered me.


Me : Yang ini nama siapa ye? (pointing at that particular girl)
Kak Ngah : Nama dia aizatul, panggil kak chik.
Me : owh.. kak chik... kak chik ni sama kelas dengan kak ngah ye?
Kak Ngah : Tak lah, kita sama sekolah je, tak sama kelas, kak ngah darjah 1, kak chik darjah 3.
Me : Oo.. Kak chik ni sama dengan kak long la?
Kak Long : Tak, Kak Long darjah dua, tak sama dengan kak chik.
Me : Owh.. ingatkan sama dengan kak long, sebab tengok kak long lagi tinggi dari kak chik.
Kak Ngah : tapikan, ade kawan satu kelas kite nama dia ibtisam, dia laaagi tinggi dari kak long!!
Kak Long : Haah, kak long pun heran sebab dia lagi tinggi dari kak long padahal dia baru darjah 1.
Me : Iyye?? dia tinggi mana?

the kids were showing the height of the said ibtisam with their hands.
i looked at them, impressed.
and suddenly
ain : semua tu, Allah yang jadikan.

:O
i was again...impressed!

Selamat Hari Jadi, Ain!

Ain mencecah 3 tahun, 2 Mei lalu. Kami buat sambutan kecil-kecilan di Hotel Seri Malaysia, Port Dickson. Kebetulan, ada hari keluarga Jaringan 11 STAROBA, sekolah ayah mertua saya. Owh ya, sambutan itu bukan setakat hari jadi ain semata-mata kerana ibu & ayahnya juga dilahirkan dalam bulan Mei. Maka, tukar tajuk lah... Selamat hari jadi untuk Ain, Umi + Abi ;)

Sambutan kecil itu meriah juga. Hari keluarga STAROBA lebih meriah. Saya mula berangan-angan, suatu hari nanti, mungkin 20 tahun dari sekarang, alumni sekolah saya, dapat menganjurkan perjumpaan keluarga seumpama itu. Ketika itu, mungkin sudah ada yang bergelar Dato', yang boleh menyumbang biaya program itu. Hehehe, itu angan-angan saya! Harap-harap boleh jadi nyata... Ameen.

Selamat Ulangtahun Puteriku. Moga sentiasa dalam peliharaanNya.
