NO WONDER I CANNOT BE RICH

HE3X.......this entry is about how i managed to spend my money without feeling a bit guilty about it. on Friday, we took Bob to PMC for his monthly check up. i was really worried as he is still feeling the chest pain especially after dozing off for a while in the morning. so doctor decided to make another round of Xray, enchocardiagrm, ecg and entah apa2 lagi...so the whole day was spent for that....in the end dr said nothing wrong with his lung or heart...can still run like a champion. so he prescribe new medication for Bob.......RM 513 to PMC account.
while waiting for that, we met Shamil, giving him about RM2700 for a new laptop for abah.

as i was quite upset that my sister wanted to go home leaving no one to look after mak, i did not go home but instead went to The Store SP...with the intention of buying a new handbag....we arrived at about 7 pm...after browing, i still could not find one to my liking.....somethow i started looking for a new handset. after some time, decided to trade in the old (not yet 1 year old) for 100 and got a new one for the price of RM360......i was satisfied....like what eman said....kalau tak beli apa baik jangan mai....absolutely right.

then yesterday, we came to KMK to fetch akak....and straightaway we went to Padang Besar...ai handbag tak dapat lagi ni......so busy merancang nak belanja sekali terjumpa satu handbag berkenan abis....murah aje RM50....terus beli......children bought sikit2.

so in two days i managed to spent about 3600.....itu sudah bagus.......

it's fated

on 25 may, one boy, a student of Penn State u, Yong's daughter friend was found drown in a river in US. He planned to come home next week but it seems only his remain will be flown back. Reading his close friends' blogs, looking at his picture reminds me of Along. this is the first time i feel so worried about him.
I know this thing happens whether you are careful or not. its fated....but as far as possible, please take extra precaution when going to places that you are not familiar with.
my heart really goes out for Nublan's family. i pray they will be patient as i believe he was a good son . Allah will insyallah place him together with the best.

Al-fathihah.......

cucur keria

it has been a long time since umi last made cucur keria for abah.its not that umi is lazy but somehow umi does not have the time......makan pun ala kadar aje.
so yesterday when abah decided to buy 3 kilos of sweet potato, umi knew that abah really meant it....thought of asking teh to do it but after a second thought, umi decided to do it. umi just used 2 sweet potato and got about 20 pieces of cucur keria. lengguh pinggang bukan main. it was not that easy to make the round kuih with hole in the middle.....umi likes to make them in one size...baru nampak cantik.finished making them, put them in the fridge...
this morning, woke up early and fried the kuih....abah ate a lot of them and left about 5 for us....umi nak tegelak sebab sure pastu abah kembung perut makan ubi banyak.umi dan rasa satu aje.......never mind...if abah likes cucur keria, cucur keria is what umi will make. imagine how to finish 3 kilos of them.

a tiring and frustrating day

Of all the days this week, today is the most tiring. morning after the opening of interna iso audit, i was busy making orders for the workshop this sunday. i only helped cacti

My new routine

Since akak started studying at KMK, my routine has somehow changed. Yesterday , at 4 we started from tok's house and reached KMK at 4.30. Her first time returning to college after a day out. then in heavy rain we returned to A.Setar. sent the boys at about 5. along the way, they slept again...tired.i could not as i was worried .abah had a headache but had to drive. i still takut. lagipun ayish dah tidur atas riba.
then came back to Jitra and stopped at pasar malam. tok nak makan ikan pari. so sent the fish to tok. already 7 pm, asar not yet performed. arrived home tertidur. then woke up and saw atih struggling cleaning the fish and chicken. i cleaned the shrimps...konon nak buat cucur jagung.
after ironing and sikit2 kemas rumah...i just could not open my eyes.....
slept and woke up to find alin n ayish had no blanket. memang berat badan habis....
woke up at six and tersedar , i dah minum air nyior kelmarin so no wonder, sakit belakang.
morning sempat masakk asam pedas and fried chicken aje....cukuplah for adik and atih.
my working day has begun..........

tamat minggu orientasi

syukur alhamdulillah ari ni tamatlah MPPB 2009/10 dan juga diadakan sambutan hari guru peringkat kolej. semuaya lancar. tahniah pada j/kuasa terbabit...bukannya mudah mengendalikan program seperti ini.
tamat dekat 12 tgh, makan lunch terus p amik akak di blok..rupanya pukul 2 baru leh balik. umi tak tanya pun tapi diberitahu leh felo....akak dah letih tak tau nak habar. sampai rumah terus lelap sampai petang.......kesian....tengok pun tau suma letih.
at 6.30 kami p makan kat Tat PJ....then bungkus nasi ayam kat tok and teh. tok tak makan sebab tunggu nasi umi...syukur tok dah ok sikit. kakipun tak bengkak sangat....umi lega tengok tok dah ceria sikit....solatpun boleh, lipat kaki pun boleh, penat dah kurang.moga Allah rahmati tok.....
sesekali kesian tgk teh and pak teh....nampak sangat depa sunyi.maklumlah kena tinggai anak2 yg ramai di sana...itulah pengorbanan. cuti sekolah lagi 2 minggu. pas tu mungkin anak2 dia balik mai tengok depa. sementara tu...umi and family jadi anak2 depa.
esok umi akan bawa teh p pasar...biar dia beli ration utk seminggu...teh tu suka masak so dia perlu banyak barang . biar dia masak puas2, tok pun makan sedap sikit. taklah makan sadin aje.
esok pun kena keluar awai antar akak dulu di changlun, pastu patah balik a. setar antar bob and eman...makan sehari juga tu.....ni akn jadi rutin baru umi and abah....tak pa la.

SELASA yang syahdu

Hari ini memang syahdu sewaktu majlis mentor mentee pelajar baru KMK. semasa video clip mengenai pengorbanan dan kasih sayang seorang ibu ditayangkan, ramai pelajar dan pensyarah menangis ....terkenang betapa jasa ibu memang tidak dapat dinilai ganti.

ummipun turut sedih tapi x leh la nak tunjuk nanti terlampau-lampau pulak....belagak selambe aje.....pas tu check henset. terus ada mesej dari akak (dia pun tengok juga)

ummi....i always love u.......

ha tau pun dia.......memang ummi ni kerap pot pet tapi suma sebab nak bagi anak jadi baik.mana ada ibu yg nak tengok anak jadi sebaliknya. sekarang akak dalam proses penyesuaian diri utk menjadi seorang yg lebih matang dan bertanggungjawab. setidak2nya akak bertuah kerana umi ada di kolej utk membantu....bayangkan students lain yg terpaksa tinggalkan keluarga jauh di kampung, tentu nya mereka merasakan amat sayu, rindu kepada keluarga.

seboleh mungkin ummi takk, mau ganggu akak, biar dia belajar mengenal dunia sendiri. sebelum ni dia tak ada pengalaman tinggal jauh dari keluarga. so kalau dia berfikiran positif, dia akan berjaya.

tadi pun dia kata dia dah main bola jaring waktu riadah pagi.itu memang passion dia so sure dia enjoy main. kalau dia happy, hope dia happy belajar juga.itu harapan umi.

sama-samalah kita doakan kejayaan akak sebagai mengikut langkah along dan sebagai penambah semangat kepada adik2 lain.

bila akak tiada, memang rasa sunyi. tak sama sunyi masa akak dok ngan tok. bila umi masuk bilik, tengok baju2 akak, rasa sayu lak.....seorang lagi anak umi dah pergi.....yg tinggal hanya baju.

apapun umi pasrah......ini baru permulaan kepada banyak lagi pemergian.......

tashian ayish

akibat kesibukan umi and abah, inilah akibatnya....ayish jadi mangsa......rasa bersalah yang amat sangat. tangan cuma dua so bila dah letih mana nak larat nak layan anak..........
hope pas ni umi tak bz lagi.....mungkinkah?

nanti ayish besar dia leh faham kot camna susah nak jaga anak ramai ni....walaupun sebenarnya cuma ada 4 orng saja kat rumah masih tak dan.......

i am so sorry..............one day u will understand.

akak's venture

tired, exhausted, beat........my feet are still aching after the process of registering akak at KMK. before this i was only one of the lecturers who were on duty during registration day but today i had to do both...being a parent and a lecturer .....i had to make sure she got the room, settled down and got most of the stuff for her use....that means my hubby and i pluus akak and atih had to make a had few trips here and there, getting what she needs.
before i never entered the students' hostel. nothing to be done there but today, i had to take quite a long walk around the college and my...it was tiring....
After registration i had to be at Dewan Mahawangsa where parents were being bfiefed by the director. the turnout was unbelievable. parents were very anxious to know the latest info about KMK . my job was to get the feedback from the form/survey on the effectiveness of the MPPB.
Well....we got lots of interesting comments...which i thought was normal. how could anybody satisfy everybody. there bound to be some glitches...it was a good lesson
tonight akak is surely busy adapting herself the new life as a college student. we can only pray that she will be fine.tomorrow hope to c her again. GOOD LUCK AKAK......

KFC treat

early morning, after breakfast, akak and i were outside the house, weeding the unwanted grass and weeds that threathen my roses, repositioning my bougenvilla pots...berat oi.....replanting the pkok pukul 10 and most importnt burning the leaves and stuff.
it was hard work and we only stopped at 11.00 am.then i slept for a while and woke up just in time to fetch alin. straight away to KFC near yawata. never been there before. while eating, sms abah and he said wanted to join us but he was in AS. so we waited and abah arrived at about 1.10..it was already raining and sure our clothes outside the house would be wet.
we had a long lunch....we paid for the service so we took our sweet time.
1.30 we arrived home, abah went to office.......now here i am at 2.10 after zohor.
end of three week holidays and what i gathered was .....nothing much but worth it.

today was another busy day for akak and me. we left the house at 8.30 and arrived at BSN minutes later. then became minah pacak depan bank. after paying the fee of rm220, we went to post office to buy 2 stamps ....then bought stuff for mak....now she likes to eat biskut potong...ala yg orang bersalin makan tu....
after an hour at mak's we went to PJ and scouted 2 pharmacies for the price of a wheel chair...about rm300...sempat beli sandal for me....then fetched alin. we stopped at mahadi pharmcy in bndr darulaman and asked for the price of the wheel chair. got rm290 so i bought one.malas nak cari lagi....sumbat benda tu dlam kembara..had lunch.
arrived home and washed comforter...at the same time sms with shitah...while smsing , i tertidur until 2.05....alamak had to fetch adik ...while reversing the kembara, saw adik arriving, smiling lagi even though she had to walk home.
i was so tired...so i slept for a while after zohor.then remembered that the wheel chair was still in the car. so after fetching ayish, we went to mak's house. wah mak was happy coz she could come out of her room....baru nampak dunia.....
i hope she is happy...her happiness if mine too.

ummi's marathon

alhamdulillah today i completed 3 days of massaging after a long delay. quite expensive rm90 + minyak angin...last terbang 100 bucks....no problem . now i feel better. but wait...immediately after that akak and i left the house for our long day.
our first stop was tabung haji where i made my routine check every year..cannot let the money accumulate...so i withdrew 2 thousand....on the pretence of buying akak's stuff but actually she has her own money.
before i did anything, i must visit mak first....she was just like always....ina, mak wan, nuun and wives were still there...helped their father building chicken coop...cantik gak.....leh bela puyuh and ayam...will be teh's new hobby.....
then, we stopped at BTM....7 suits of baju kurung were nicely packed in my kembara. 5 for akak and 2 for myself...mana leh kalah.....i also want to look bergaya on the first day of registration.
the heavy rain did not stop us from continuing our mission. at 12 we arrived at Bank Rakyat...ni first time we went to that bank....my God...we spent 2 hours just to open the account.....while waiting, i went for bihun sup with abah and left akak in the bank...kena ajar brdikari sikit.
at 2.30 we returned to pray Zuhur and sent adik for KAFA. With atih tagging along, we had lunch and made a visit to Shah's boutique...one blouse for me and none for akak. nearby we bought more of akak's stuff....terbang lagi seratus lebih......then to Yawata....terbang lagi 70.....
we were all exhausted...and decided to return ....oops must fetch alin and ayish first...
all in all we arrived home at 5 pm.....wah what a wonderful shopping spree......
after asar, i felt hungry so prepared early dinner of sardin, vege and salted fish...yummy.....
thought of going to visit mak , but too tired....tomorrow i will go again,insyaallah.

keep on dreaming

2 days ago we went to Carefour..saja p perabih duit..my children went on their shopping spree knowing we would pay for them. i did not like going there as my favourite stuffs are not up to my taste( shoes and handbags) just like Giants or Tesco....
on the way home....tada.....abah allowed me ( actually forced) to take control of his Innova...my..i had butterflies in my stomach. so i cautioned all my children to buckle up...it was actually a smooth ride but the gear stick is too high so i found it awkward when changing gears...before we arrived at hutan kampung tol, i gladly stopped the car....giving the reason that i did not want to scratch his car...tol kan sempit.
when having that experience, i became excited of owning a new Exora which i saw driven by a guy on our way to carefour...warna coklat keemasan lagi. however, my deep love and trust to my Kembara stopped me from dreaming of owning a new car. so far my 6 year old Kembara has saved me a lot...especially when i hentam naik atas tembok...di kolej dan di mana2 saja. i enjoy driving that car especially during rainy day...pi laju aje......
so the moral value is....i can keep on dreaming but it will not turn into a reality......even after i get my Dg48 claim. there are a lot to consider before landing on a new car. for the time being, Kembara is my choice...

it's only first of May

i thought today is aredy 15th may....why? coz my money disappeared bit by bit....
ah....if money is spent to make others happy...why not.
later, hopefully other people will make me happy.

akak got diploma in civil engineering uitm....a total change from her choice. so
welcome to KMK.........u might not like it first, but later, when u get to know all ur lecturer esp ur english lecturer, sure will not want to leave the college.......

where to get more money? my article is not published yet.maybe never.some of my articles are still saved in my laptop...my tuition payment is also not enough....rent is not given yet.
even old newspaper man does not make his appearance.....tabung haji is closed for 2 days.

want to sell my roses...all are still budding.

help me,help me, help me........duit tabung atihpun cume ada syiling aje. bob lagi pokai. eman..mimpi, adik....tak pernah ada duit. akak...duit tok bagi mana leh guna. along, ish tak leh ganggu.....abah...ampun dah banyak abah tolong.

wah ramainya

syukur today many more of my sister's sons and daughters came back and followed by my brother and his wife. my mom's house is in commotion, so noisy with people talking at the same time. my mom seemed happy and relieved..
