Al-Fatihah

It came back to me on that very day in the evening while I was ermmmm handwashing my undies. Not that I was thinking of him while washing but it just suddenly popped in my brain - TING!!! I remember who that guy was.



After being on compassionate leave yesterday, coming back today is somewhat a stab in the neck to drag myself to work.



On a more sombre note...



My hubby's beloved Granny passed away on Wednesday afternoon. It has been a while since I last lost someone close or related. She wasn't sick or anything. It was complications from a surgery that lead to another. She was such a pleasant lady whom didn't have anything much to say. Always smiling and cheerful. I wish I had known her better. She was the one who put the ring on me during our engagement. My hub is her first grandchild. And that makes me her first granddaughter-in-law. She was suppose to have this procedure before our wedding but insisted to wait till after our big day. All these must have happened for a reason. And this is probably the reason.



I have never seen my MIL so upset and sobbing. Life is just suddenly so empty looking at the lifeless body. We work so hard to achieve so many things in this world but when it is our time, all that will be meaningless and left behind while nothing can help us from it except our amalan.



I am sad that I didn't get the privilege to know her better, to repay her kindness for buying us housewarming gifts. Sad because she didn't get to see our house. Sad she won't get to see her first great-grandchild. But I am very pleased and thankful to witness that she never missed any prayer even on the hospital bed for weeks and managed to recite the Syahadah before her last breath. And am also comforted to know that my hubby was the one who laid her to rest. She was only 66.



Ya Allah kau letakkan lah nenek ditempat dengan orang-orang yang beriman. Al Fatihah. Amin.

Who That?

Ok I just came back from lunch. And I saw this guy. A really familiar guy. But no bells ringing in my already looney head lah. I really can't recall where or how I've known him but I'm pretty sure we have shared more than just a word or two. But just words ok nothing more. Or maybe we chatted online? Hmmmmm. He walked towards me smiling and almost saying something until I turned to face my colleague and pretended I did not even notice him. Ok not exactly a smart move but I didn't feel like striking a conversation while feeling all groggy and hungry.



I hate it when this happen. To recognise somebody but totally can't remember who that person is. I don't forget faces. I can still point out my kindergarten classmates if I run into them. But I do forget places and names. And usually the memory will just randomly pops back into the head while doing or thinking something of no relation at all. So I'm probably gonna let this go and let it come to me naturally while I'm taking a crap or reading the newspaper about some sick guy beast who raped his own sister/mother/daughters. Bastards.



Sigh.

Unlike Me

On a usual note, I have rather been excellent (masok bakol pikul sendiri!) at keeping my house clean. My husband would vouch for that. Cause I will be automatically be making some sort of disapproving noise when there are things on the floor or when there is a spot on the kitchen's wall or when the toilet's floor look so eeky or when there are strands of hair on the floor or when the carpet looks dirty etc etc. My hands do the talking too ok. The mouth only produce the noise in a short period of time. Usually lasting only 1 minute.



But the past few days, I have been so disorganised. There are clean laundries spread on the living room carpet as I speak now, clean dishes on the rack have yet to be put at it's right place, a basket of dirty laundries have yet to make its way into the washing machine and the bamboo stick we use to hang clothes outside the window is still in the living room because it has been raining inconsistently lately hence safer to hang it all indoors.



Well we weren't home over the long weekend so I guess it is not entirely my fault. Plus being sickly and fatigued doesn't help much either. It's not like I'm being disorganised on purpose. So I can forgive myself no? I foresee a tiresome weekend coming up. Our dining table will be making its grandeur entrance this Saturday. About time! I shall make full use of this weekend to restore my abode back to its desirable state. So rimas already going back to a home that look like a wreck.



I just hope that this does not become a habit. So when do I really get to rest now? Sigh..

Mystery Mission

Dressed all in black we have a mission. Ok I'm not really leaving on a jet plane. But I'll be somewhat away yet still on the same island. No not referring to parents place. Confused? Me too. On the contrary to the first line above, my bags are so not packed at all. Haiyah!! 2nite i will just chunk watever things I will need. Thank goodness I prepared a list just in case my mind goes blank the moment i lay eyes on the suitcase which is usually the case when I go for long vacations. But this is no long holiday, just a 3 day thingy. It's not even a vacation. Just a mission. A mystery. I have yet to know what is in store for me.



Anyway, it was nice to hear from one of the Se7en after a looooong biskut stunt (skejap ada skejap takde) . The best and well wishes for you and your partner. Honestly, I'm not altogether surprised that you have met someone new and now 'so into' her as you proclaimed in those exact words. Ok so shoot me for saying that. But nevertheless, I hope it all works well for you the way you've always wanted.

Ok I lost my momentum after being told a disgusting story here at work. Errghhh. Kepala dah lah mabuk. Now the details make me want to puke! Yucks!

Till next entry... Nahar Saeed.

See Me Not

Doink!! Ni mask yang kau recommend aku pakai?? Dah buang tebiat? Satu orang pon tak akan naik bas tu! Eh but that sound like a good idea. I will have the whole bus to myself! Best tu! No elbow war to rush for seats. No more breathing in the morning stale air coming out of from those people who don't bother to take a shower in the morning or let alone brush the teeth! Eeeek!

Use Protection

Malasnya nak kerja. Takde mood. Extremely tired plus woozy head. But at least I made it to work. While he is at home still sleeping as I speak. Cet!! Siapa suroh tengok bola until so late???



As unwillingly predicted, the swimming plans had remained unbecoming last Saturday. Tragic. And the reason this time? Rain. (It was just drizzling to me but he insisted that it was a bad weather to be dipping our warm bodies.) No denying that he is the more lazy one ok. Him sleeping right now is a proof of it. We ended up roaming at B.P Plaza and did some weekly marketing.



Where can I find a face pad? Something that protects the face and everything beneath the skin. Kinda something like Elaine's Face Bra in Ally McBeal. And why would I need that? You see, trips to work in the 50 mins morning bus ride is a torture in a pleasing way. We get to sleep on the very bumpy ride. So what do you get on bumpy rides? Head-bumping into the windows and pillars. While it is common and usual for me to get my forehead whacked onto the side windows rest and make myself the giggling stock of the morning crowd, today was of something the unusual. My right cheekbone was victimised. Whacked mercilessly onto the side window frame. I never felt more awake after that. I swear I could feel the bone cracked. So sakit. But maintain cool. I think the sound even woke the people around me. And I instantly became the object of staring. Malu!



So if you see me with bruises or reddish spot on my face, it is not because of abusive treatment. But because of the voilent rides caused by the crazy driver. Massaging my right cheekbone now. Ouch ouch. What shall be next? The chin perhaps?

Tomorrow I love You...

....Your always a day away. Not!!! Hence this song is only applicable on Fridays.



Gue confident set appointment at 1.15pm @ Wayan. Usually it's done in 15 mins. That explains the confidence hokay. But how was I to know that the cute little rainforest under the arms are a stubborn bunch today! Do roots get cranky too? Apparently some spots degil lah. The poor skin turned all red. But all is well for it is now as smooth as a baby's bum. Nyeh nyeh nyeh.



From all the pressure, she had to put some ointment and moisturizer to soothe the stressed skin of mine. And can you imagine I walk around in the office since after lunch with my hands on my waist. Konon cekak pinggang ah. But the truth of the matter is bukak kepak beb kasi angin. Pedih lah! Kahkahakhakhakakh.



Now it's better and relaxed. Tak senonoh betol eh. Pasal ketiak pon bleh jadi topic. Aku pe suka ah BLOG AKU pe.



Btw, skarang kan aku ni bukan sahaja IT Network and desktop support tau kat office ni. Mobile / PDA / Blackberry suma tolak kat aku. Like as if it is part of my jobscope and no negotiations about it. To top it all off, creating templates is suddenly my new task today. Isn't that the secretaries job? How about compensating my duties alongside with what I am required to do. Which means to say; IT support + Secretary + Mobile tech support = $(So how much should i get paid?) Believe it or not one of the lawyer's NEIGHBOURS lah oi call me for help with their mobile. As much as it is nice of him to tell his neighbour how 'smart' I am. HELLO I'm not your personal 1800-everything-also-support hotline okay!!


Blardy Toot!!

Unbecoming Plans

What happens to all the endless things that you plan to do together before you promised the lifetime of goods and bads to each other? Blame it to lack of time and exhaustion from work everyday? Not to mention HIM working late everyday lah kan. Or when we do have time on weekends we end up cleaning the house (which obviously I DO the most), taking naps, groceries shopping or visiting either parents.



There used to be so many ideas and thoughts in the head but now..I have no freaking idea where it has all gone to. Must be the Marriage Grinch!! And when an idea or plan do come up, there's always something that makes it close to impossible. Plans that DO work, are of the spontaneous kind. Like the Batam episode. So should I give up on dreaming and planning?



I remember we said going swimming together would be nice. We have never done that before you see hence the idea of that was somewhat exciting at that point of time. HELLO!! STILL HAVE NOT DONE THAT YET! Oh and I remember saying "after february we can go short weekend getaways or KL". Errm...still NOT happening! Even talks of picnics and walks by the beach have yet to become reality. We have not even gone trekking up to Bukit Timah nature reserve as planned yet again and the starting point is just behind my block for heaven's sake!!!



Are we just blaming time for excuses or did we automatically morph into boring lazy people???? Comes with the title is it??? Arrrggghh!!

Uninvited Collision

It wasn't a pretty sight. I was at the T junction in between Victoria St and Golden Landmark yesterday at 10+ in the morning. Mum almost wanted to rush across the left while I told her let's take the right one. And there I was just gazing in between the busy road with sleepy eyes and BOOOOOM!! In 2 seconds it rained glasses. For some reason I instantly teared. (Gembeng ehk) It sounded like an explosion.



A male Toyota MPV driver hit a woman Honda civic driver. And I blardy saw it right in front of my eyes. It was so ugly. The nose part of the MPV is entirely crushed. The impact was so great it came to a halt on an instant just before it rained glasses. The woman's car on the other hand was obviously un-controlled and so it went on for a few metres and up the curb hitting a tree. Everyone around was shooked by the explosion sound like. People ran towards the lady's car to see if she was alright. And she wasn't. Naturally, people started calling for the ambulance. The light blue MPV was in the middle of the T junction causes the traffic to slow down. The male driver seem to be intact and he made his way across to the lady's car. He looked terribly worried pacing up and down. Whose fault you'd ask, well I wasn't paying attention the traffic lights. All I see was a car from the back speed straight and hit the incoming car from the right.To witness such a terrible sight is such an ugly thing on a Monday morning. Causing my tummy cramp to cramp even more intensely. And to think that I teared immediately out of shock was very weird.



Being the commonly kepo or more affectionately known as concerned citizens, we waited for the ambulance to come to the rescue. But I could stomach it no longer and dragged mum away from the scene. If I had not suggested to cross the right side of the road, me and mum would have definitely be in the midst of the glasses shattered from the 2 cars and probably hit by the Honda. We were protected by HIM.



It made me think of all the times I rushed to cross the road the moment Green Man makes the flash. But mostly, it was when the yellow light yells standby I would take the opportunity to take a step ahead. Accidents can happen anywhere. In just a second of hastiness can just steal your life. It doesn't hurt to be more careful. But when it is your time to go, extra mile of vigilance is futile. I had my digi cam with me yesterday but who in the right frame of mind would even think about it just after having a heart attack.



Fellow friends, please be careful on the roads. May it be on foot or wheels.
