tak jemu umi rasa

 Petang kamis umi balik keja awai jadi buat le keras tangan sikit kat depan rumah. sekali tengok ati-ati tu dah gemuk, so umi letakkan pokok ros yg dlm baldi tu. ganti pasu bunga kertas yg x mau keluar bunga. letakkan dia tgh panas sikit. yg ni teduh sebab tu ati-ati naik gila ...yg bunga ros tu kerap juga berbunga tapi cepat layu sbb umi letak kat tmpt panas, jadi hari ni umi pindahkan dia ke rumah sewa baru...x yah bayar sewa so cepat2le berbunga ye....kalau tak umi ubah letak luar pagar, baru padan muka....

 Ini punya keladi manyak gatai ooooo....jgn main2 dgn dia. ni aruah mak lang yg bagi dia amik kat mana tak tau.tgk pokok umi ingat kat mak lang...yg bawah tu umi dah transfer bunga pukui sepuluh or japenese rose..yg tak nampak disini sebab kecik sangat ialah my bluebell yg baru ok membiak...sapa nak nanti umi bagi le kecuali 2 org sja......hehe yg empunya diri tau le kan.

 apa pulak ni? jgn tak tau ni dinamakan recycled process, dimana umi telh menyandarkan besi katil yg x digunakan di pokok konen....he kreatif ni...leh sangkut pokok yg u all nampak le....idea ini tak pernah dibuat orang. malahan orang di majalah LAMAN pun tak terfikir...ye le tu....bangga giler ni ( kredit utk along yg jai tukang ikat)

 slot depan umi cuma letak pokok bunga kertas yg rajin dan tak rajin berbunga. bagi depa makan cahaya matahari sikit...kot2 rajin le berbunga ye...umi dgn bunga ni tak berapa ngam sangat, sebab setiap kali umi pangkas dia merajuk tak mau keluar bunga...ye le umi kerat ikut sedap hati saja sapa tak marah....umi minta jgn merajuk panjang le nanti bunga x cantik.pokok yg depan ni adalah hadiah dari aruah mak mentua 17 tahun yg lalu, jadi umi memang jaga lok2 walaupun batang dia dah kerepot.

 ini  satu lagi close up pokok yg bersandarkan katil ni. yg kat atas tu orkid yg baru beli ari tu...moga2 depa subur macam tuan dia.

 Di sebelah ni umi tanam lebih kurang 2 tahun pokok yg umi tak tau nama apa...India kat Sg Buloh bagi free, dia kata sundal  malam tapi umi rasa bukan kot sebab bunga dia x wangi langsung...tapi galak dia berbunga.

Shot ni tak elok tapi saja nak tunjuk anak2 orkid yg umi letak kat dalam wheelbarrow tu.....ingat nak cat warna putih bagi nampak english  sikit, tapi elok pegang berus, keras kedekiang so stop terus. itulah saja yg umi nak tunjuk hasil kerja sepetang sahaja di hari Khamis yg lalu....umi memang curi  masa saja sebab memang bz selalu. tapi umi tak pernah jemu jaga depa ni.....terapi minda yg free....

Relationship Rekindled

Yesterday nite, we had a guest,  a long lost friend back in our old time in Kingston n Montreal, a nice fella who used to be our Penghulu when we first arrived in Canada. He is now an officer at IAB, visiting SBT ( sekolah berprestasi tinggi) in Kedah. somehow he got hold of abah's number and from a phone call led to a lunch and last nite a dinner at D'Bendang.....

Mr Zairi used to be abah's badminton partner when they represented LCVI (Loyalist  Collegiate and Vocational Institute )when we did our Grade 13 in 1982. they represented the college in badminton tournaments there and of course at that time umi hardly noticed them or ...its the other way around. at that time umi n kak lang Maziah Mohd from n9 were busy chasing mamat yg kerja kat Loblaws (SUPERMARKET)....where r u kak long? i miss our time at Unncle James's house, 224 Auden park Drive...hm what happens to my foster father eh?

Even though we went to the same Concordia University, Montrel, umi hardly spoke to him coz umi spent more time with abah hehehe.....however, last nite umi found out he was a talkative guy ( maybe his nature of work built this character)....but what is interesting is that he also grows grey hair just like abah and experiencing almost the same type of illness......that only proves that men grow old faster than women .....

Our chit chat session continued at our house and the topics of discussion varied from our old time there and our search for friends who are scattered in Malaysia. Some could be contacted through FB while many disappeared quietly,without a trace....if only we Montrealers could have a reunion somewhere and umi is 99% confident we will win the award for the Couple With The Most Number of Children.......and still remains loving and caring...chewah perasan.

Hopefully our relationship will flourish till the day we leave this world, and we get more chances to meet the others.....but zairi did mention that many of our friends are now big shots....in the field of education,,,,,tak pa umi will remain a lecturer but with DG52....umi cannot help but laugh at the thoughts of our toya time 27 years ago. who would have thought that we would succeed like this...pray that we will see more so that we can share more happy moments.

ummi ran amok

 Immediately after subuh, umi had a strange feeling that could not be expressed in words....what was that, ummi myself failed to understand yet it kept bugging me......my hearts heart, was beating real hard, as if it was about to burst....why was i so agitated, so confuse, so celaru, so what?  i must strike today, by hook or by crook, something must be done, real fast, if not ..there would be no tomorrow..........apa umi buat ni? macam nak serang negara orang aje.......let's see.........ini tempat kejadian........

 Well, i did not raid anything but my own kitchen that really really deserved to be taken care of....especially after the frequent visits my Mr Mousy...i got so fed up, at office also kelahi ngan .dia, at home even worse. So the attack...no not the attack, the cleaning was done.....first abah was called to D.I. Y this particular new rack which i bought at Rm 38.90 at Pak Cik Pic ( Pacific) yesterday...the one i painted was transfered to.......

 kesian, dah beralih arah....umi placed it here....put all the stuff for drinks....and it will remain here until ummi got  tired of it....so far i think this is the best place......nanti kalau idea gila mai len ntah2 dok dalam bilik ayaq rak ni.........

 This was taken from the wet kitchen side....kabinet kat bawah tu dah dicuci calat.....after zohor, umi mengamuk lagi...this time at Yawata....bought foodstuff with adik......awatla abah tetiba kena balik sebab orang mai nak cuci aircond....so duit umi melayang lagi.....ish jangan dok berkira.....Then straight to tok's house while waiting for abah to have his stylish haircut.......umi mengamuk sakan sampai tok terpingga-pingga. what did i do? bakar daun pisang le apa lagi....depan belakang all i rempuh.....3 mayang pisang jadi mangsa....jangan tak tau,  sebelum ni, tak pernah umi buat kerja ni.....tapi semenjak aruah tok wan meninggal, dan tok bedridden, umi ambil alih jaga kampung....kesiann tengok kampung semak...tapi bukan jadi penuggu....i was happy, at least the place was better........menjadi juga amukan ummi. at 6 arrived home and the amuk continued.........apa lagi umi oi....abah pun naik pening dgn kerenah ummi......tengok apa jadi ni.

Hmm,ummi perosah mainan bebudak ni lak. finally umi can put together some of ayish and alin's stuff....ada 3 bakui lagi umi sorok wah katil....lets see how long these kiddy stuffs remain here....After maghrib, umi dah gelong, but still managed to prepare nasi goreng bodoh....add some eggs cukup and dinner was ready........so berbaloi gak today's amuk............Along will be surprised to see his room too. cepat balik along dari Tganu...i have the whole storeroom for you and Bob.......

Leh caya ke?

ha tengok puas puas pokok orkid yg umi......tanam ni....dah berbunga kan

 Ait....ni nampak macam bukan kat rumah umi aje.....biasele.....umi dah leh jual orkid

ha anak ni 4 pokok rm20....murah2 saje. sapa nak beli .........pi le kat Stadium Darulaman...ada Expo pertanian sehari dua ni......sebenaqnya umi pun mr Naza yg habaq so tadi balik dari Sg Yan, umi singgah le...jamu mata dan sempat sambaq anak pokok orkid dan.......seperti yg umi impikan, umi dah beli 5 pokok buah2an........ada limau madu, ada  jambu batu, ada jambu air, belimbing dan juga mangga ntah apa nama dia....umi dah pakat nak tanam  di tepi tembok kat luar tu....dalam 2,3 tahun leh le  makan. takkan nak makan orkid kot........mai kita doa pokok2 ni cepat berbuah spt tuannya.....hehehe...nanti kkwan pun leh merasa.....

yg orkid kat atas tu, acah aje.....mimpi le nak dpt bunga camtu, tapi who knows....berkat kesabaran umi, nanti berbunga le orkid tu....umi dah beli baja yg power punya...tunggu dan lihat ye.....
