So called Petua

Umi tak tau jawab bila kkdang orang tanya camna umi jaga anak-anak seramai 8 orng .......ish ni soalan yg paling sukar yg membuatkan umi sendiri tertanya2.....ape ye?

fikir punya fikir agaknya inilah antara ciri2 yg ada;

1. umi tak pernah lupa mendoakan aruah tok wan ( baca al-fatihah selepas solat 5 waktu) dan doakan tok sebelum tidur . ginilah lebih kurang doa itu:

Ya Allah ya Tuhan ku...Engkau peliharalah ibuku...sembuhkanlah penyakitnya, pemudahkan urusannya..sesungguhnya aku tidak mampu bersamanya sepanjang masa, hanya padaMu aku berdoa...

2. umi pastikan sujud syukur dilakukan pada setiap selepas subuh dan isyak....kerana umi amat berterimakasih kerana Allah menganugrahkan segala kebaikan pada kehidupan umi...ginilah antara doa umi ketika bersujud:

baca 3 kali doa nabi Yunus....then...ya Allah aku bersyukur di atas segala rahmat dan nikmat yg Engkau berikan kepada aku dan keluargaku serta semua Muslimin dan muslimat....Engkau berilah keberkatan dunia dan akhirat, engkau rahmatilah dunia dan akhirat dan engkau berilah kejayaan dunia dan akhirat. tiada daya upayaku melainkan dgn rahmatmu dan belas kasihanmu
Ya Allah.....

3. bila umi masak nasi, bila thg kacau tu umi bacalah surah Ta ha ayat 1 - 5, bagi anak-anak dgr kata.....then hembuslah ke nasi tu.......

4. demi kasih sayang umi pada aruah kakak umi, umi baca alquran dan hadiahkan kepadanya....itupun amat slow...dan umi rasa amat terkilan sebab umi lambat habis ....untuk aruah tok wan pun amik masa 3 bulan....tapi umi continue gak bila-bila umi tak bz.......

umi rasa amalan-amalan di atas amat membantu....umi bukan ustazah atau alim ulama....ilmupun sikit ( terima kasih kepada aruah tok long, tok guru Quran umi)...mungkin amalan umi ni tak dibuat dgn cara yg betull tapi umi amat yakin.....umi buat cara umi sendiri...kerana umi percaya buat sikit-sikit lebih baik daripada tak buat langsung...dgn keadaan umi yg amat bz ni...itulah saja buat sekarang yg umi leh lakukan....insyaallah akan diperbaikki dari masa ke semasa.

Namun begitu.....yg paling utama dalam amalan ini adalah berkat doa Tok yg umi tahu sentiasa berdoa untuk semua ahli keluarganya......itulah sebenarnya.....dan itulah yg selalu umi harapkan....kerana umi amat percaya....Doa seoranng IBUlah yg paling diperkenankan Allah.....

Jiwang 25 Jan 2010

Syukur, yesterday umi n abah celebrated our 25th ann.....jiwang tul rasanya......we went shopping together , not surrounded by children, in SP.....rekindled our marriage which took place in an apartment on De Maisonnaive Street, Montreal.....the solemnization was done by an imam from a mosque...an Iranian fellow.....of course we got aruah tok wan's permission first.

25 years ago, we were still slim and steady....holding hands when walking ......life was so blissful...and of course the intimacy is still preserved.......but both successfully managed to increase our weight....orang tua2 kata...pandai jaga, sebab tu gemuk.......

The whole 25 years witnessed our cooperation in taking care of our 8 children....the first 4 childless years saw us comforting each other when people talked about our inability to have children. God is The Greatest....He gave us 8....ha ...apa lagi orang nak kata........

We complemented each other in raising the children, of course we did quarrel ( umi normall win)...but that only shows that we discuss whatever action we want to take, to minimize problems.....but the quarrel never lasted long.....long time ago umi used to write letters.....plus drops of tears lagi so that abah would pujuk......now, umi use anak2......

the ups and downs of our marriage actually taught us to be better, if not the best.......and each day is a lesson........as we do not know whether we will get the chance to celebrate our golden anniversary (50 years)......

To all my children.....umi n abah want to express our deepest thank for being our angels....just remember...we also take the day as it comes, so if we make mistakes, those are not intentionable......just take what is good, and forget what is bad.......

last nite, umi slept past midnite...umi went through all the photos in our old albums...its really a miracle...looking at those innocent faces who are now very big, tall and ........

Umi slept, holding abah's hand tightly.................Syukur Ya Allah.....

Lamanya tunggu abah mai .....dah 7.30 tak dak lagi......ayish dah jaga and tanya kita nak p mana ni umi.......p hospital umi kata......

Then baru nampak abah....dia lewat sebab balik dulu amik mamut ayish....ya Tuhan.

Umi pecut macam nak rak......sampai at 7.56....then terus ke klas.......

nak tergelak ada...nak marah ada......

TERKENANG

Since umi has started to get very emotional , umi wants to share umi's experience with another beloved soul in my life...none other than aruah tok wan.....he was the most understanding, caring and cool father.....
When umi was in primary school ( standard 1 - 3) he would without fail send and fetch umi to and from school....SK Jitra....if umi did not protest, surely he would send umi until standard 6.....but umi did not want him to do that coz umi already had friends......
One nite, umi took part in a school malam anekaragam...umi recited a poem.....after umi had finished presenting, umi came out of the hall, only to see tok wan waiting with nasi utk umi...Ya Allah...umi did not expect that ...maybe he thought umi would be hungry as umi went to school in early evening to prepare for the nite......

Then, umi continued studying at SMJ... since it was quite a distance, tok bought a new bicycle for umi...what really touched umi's feeling was that, tok never failed to wipe and shine the bicycle every morning before umi rode it to school....umi tau naik aje....

After SPM, umi got an offer to study in Canada....tok wan bought a very expensive digital citizen watch for umi....umi really valued it coz umi knew how much tok wan had to spend for that watch......

When umi delivered along...tok wan and tok went to Kelantan to look after along until umi got a sitter.....tok wan was the one who folded along's napkin....pandai tul.....siap letak plastik lagi ( masa tu disposable diapers x popular lagi)......tok siap complain.....masa dulu2 nak suruh buat apa pun susah takut orang kata ikut isteri....kata tok......( tok wan just sengeh aje)

Now, tok wan is not here for umi anymore.....but umi knows that his prayers are always guiding umi......and umi never fails to recite aL FAtihah for aruah everytime after prayers.........May Allah secure Tok wan's place together with the BEst of the BEST.........

Now, tok wan is not there for umi anymore

NOW AND THEN

Today, after fetching Atih, umi and akak went to Yawata...konon nak shopping....umi bought 2 shirts for abah...then akak wanted to buy pants and a blouse....tengok harga ngalah baju umi...but she was adamant about it so umi relented...but umi asked her to pay RM20...saja bagi dia rasa keluar duit sikit.....happilly we went home...atih also got one t shirt.....

Umi recalls when umi was 12, umi really wanted to buy a jean skirt.(masa tu trendy la)...the price was RM10 but tok was quite reluctant. at that time rm10 equals rm100 now....but umi did not budge...nak juga,nak juga....nak bergaya dpn cousin waktu raya nanti.....
Finally, tok paid for the skirt....umi was beaming with happiness....not realizing that tok had to sacrifice for umi....maklumlah tokwan cuma pesawah....duit amat payah at that time (1976).

However, tok, out of love, did not want to disappoint umi so she relented ,just like what umi did today for akak....history repeats itself.......

thats why umi has a very soft spot for children coz if possible umi does not want my children to suffer like what umi experienced....however, umi got undivided attention but my children have to share everything so it is only right if umi gives in a bit....tak salah kan....cuma umi tak ajar anak2 beli baju berjenama sebab nak ikut kawan...itu PANTANG.........if later they can earn their own money, they can buy whatever they want...but first....give a CRV to umi......ha ha ha.....(keeps on dreaming......)sekali semua tak sempat2 nak kawin....umi gigit jari........

security blanket

English people use the term security blanket referring to blanket that is often used by children who receive less attention from their parents, mostly when the attention is more on the newborn. in my case, my children also experinced this as i delivered 8 of them, meaning they are all somehow deprived of attention.

let me start with Along. his blue blanket was a gift by umi's friend who visited umi during pantang(confinement)...forgotla who the person was...at that time i was in Kelantan. Along would use his blanket until it was koyak rabak like roti jala...believe it or not..until now umi still keeps that blanket in the storeroom.....he he he...buat kenangan kat anak cucu along........

Then it was Akak who always called for her uting ( puting / pacifier) all the time until she turned two..when she cried , she would find " uting...uting" when she got it, she would be quiet....abah n umi was worried that her teeth would become rongak, so one day, abah acted cruelly by snipping the uting in front of her....from that day onward, she stopped calling for uting....dia tak tau kata boleh beli lain........
pastu, we had Bob who was attached to his polka dot bantal busuk. ya tuhan....time nak basuhlah yg paling dramatik.....selalu we all basuh time dia tidur...pastu cepat2 sarungkan balik.
ntah kat mana pergi bantal tu....what a relief that he grew up on it......
Atih was another case.....she would ask for her kain batik ayu which umi bought in langkawi...there were two; one blue, one green. whenever she wanted to drink milk, she would kepit kain kat ketiak....then off she slept........umi still keeps one in the cupboard...she does not know about that.....
Eman was the worst coz his choice was something that umi dares not tell anyone.........memang lawak giler....tapi biarlah jadi rahsia.....
Adik n Alin did not have any coz both got umi's attention for about quite a long time. adik was 5 when alin was born and alin was 3 when umi delivered ayish....
now ayish...penutup warisan ...he was so attached to his Mamut ( selimut).......the smell is unbearable. but what suprises umi is everyone seems to share the smell of his mamut.....they said lagi busuk lagi best.....hiss tak faham umi.......but this story is nothing but the truth.......
So.... security blanket is nothing to joke aboout as it is very important to children.......how about others?

Mula dari Ahad, umi bercuti selama seminggu...akak 2 minggu...tak aci tul.....maka bermulalah kembara umi menjadi drebar antar anak2 , amik anak2....at 9.45 p check alin rehat....sambe tu sempat buat bakti kat pokok2 bunga yang dah letih nak berbunga.....cabut rumput macam nak tercabut pinggang....tu baru dapat 1/3 dari saiz laman.

hari ni rsults Muet students keluar....rasanya x berapa elok....sebab cuma 1 student antar sms....AB6 kami tak berjaya juga nampaknya......

esok, rutin umi tetap sama sampai habis cuti....tapi chapter 2 umi masih tersadai, lesu dlm fail....ntah la...malas nak fikir....supervisor pun naik meluat ngan umi sampai x contact langsung....biarlah.... i need the time......

apapun umi rasa hepi sangat cuti ni.....kalau boleh nak cuti dgn gaji seumur hidup....tapi sapa nak bagi.......walaupun letih layan ayish yg tak mau p rumah mak dia...dia pun nak cuti gak katanya....umi tetap Hepi........

On 8th of Jan, last friday, Alin celebrated her 7th birthday....she is adapting well in school,even though still has her moody bouts once in a while...
She really enjoys buying food at the canteen...1 glass of orange juice and 2 sausages...when i praised others for bringing food from home, she started to sulk....
Ni dia dua-dua hepi main hadiah birthday alin...cash register....ntah apa2 alin pilih tapi thats what she wanted so umi belikan aje...dah dia gaduh tak dak sapa jadi pelanggan beli kat dia...ayish mana leh harap....

syukur syukur ya Allah

i have to thank alot for all the good things that happened to me and my family.
1. Now mom is getting better. really x know what actually helps, but her legs are not swollen anymore, breathing better and she eats well....i am very happy and pray will be able to walk again.

2. Alin started her Year 1 in a convincing way...nobody helps her during recess. she is practically managing her own self in school... my prayers are always with her..since we could not find any school bus or van that ply around our taman, my cleaner, kak jah is willing to fetch her everyday. Syukur. i believe if u r kind to people, people will also be kind to you.

3. Bob is struggling in Darul Quran...everyday he has to memorize about 2 or 3 maqra' everyday. first he refused to continue and almost came home but now he is slowly adapting...i have to give him motivation..i know it is x easy....but i always have my trust on him...even though he complains that his brain dah retak, my believe is, he can do it..insyaallah akan dipermudahkan Allah...

4. Akak has just completed her mid sem exam. so far ok la kot...she will enjoy hr 2 week holiday...at least she is home to help with the chores.

5. Along is also Ok.....that's what he said...i know he has a strong belief n intention to do well in his studies...he is persistant and consistent...ye ke Along?

6. Atih started her form 5 with lots of homework which led to her persistance headache...took her to the doctor who promised to give her something that would make blood flow smoothly....now she is my pillar of strength .....

7. Adik is also doing fine event though she has to be coaxed and forced to help around the house.maybe she still thinks that she is young. she is preparing for her UPSR.

8. Eman is in SMKAK...so far no news yet. so i hope no news means good news. Insyaallah tomorrow, i will bring him home. he is now a prefect....let him happy with the post first...pasni dia tau lah ....he is preparing for his PMR.
