My Life, My Love

 Fishing is forever my passion. With or without fish i will just cast my line and wait....

 Ayish simply follows my steps...dan dia akan dapat ikan walaupun dia cuma letak dan tinggai....

 Birthday celebration, a simple one, with a bowl of porridge......sakit tekak wei.......

 Ehem ehem.....women n jewellery cant never be separated......

 Ni awat pulak? tak pernah tengok ke?...bukan apa, ini kenduri pisang bila tekak kembali sembuh...macam2...

 On Tuesday, Intan n I joined unit's potluck....our belated birthday feast of laksam...dua-dua nampak muda kan.............hehe...we are about 15 years apart.

 Friends and food....our festive mood reached its peak as our semester will end in 2 weeks...now study week n then exam................syukur......

 This month the staff committee decided to present us ( October born) with a marble cake each...tqvm

 La.....Pn Hasliza demonstrated how to use a breadmaker.....the impact was so big.....15 of us decided to play "kutu" for one breadmaker.....hehehe we had fun......it is a must have but not a must make.....after this, the whole college lecturers will have bread everyday......

 One day before hariraya,  abah took us for dinner at McD.....been a long time since we last had meals together......or was it only a month ago.

Then 2 rounds of bowling......and umi just waited.....here only 7 of my children could make it .....Along will have to berkorban.......Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha..................

Petua Lekat Tulang

Cerita ini adalah benar semata-mata, tidak direka , tidak dicipta tetapi dialami sendiri oleh penulis blog ini. Arakian:

Isnin:  Waktu makan tengahari di sebuah kedai makan kampung yg menyaji gulai ayam kampung, segala-galanya ala kampung. menu kami: ayam kampung goreng, gulai ikan talang n terung dan ikan cencaru sumbat.
Di sinilah segalanya bermula. sebaik sudah makan, umi dah terasa tekak tak selesa...macam ada sesuatu terlekat di kerongkong ( orang Kedah kata: rengkong).

Selasa dan Rabu: Pi kerja macam besa, tekak masih tak selesa, tapi buat relax sebab tak sakit. Ain dah bagi minyak angin dari siam yg dia dok simpan di kampung....kena minum dia kata....adoi macamana nak minum minyak angin ni....biar dulu.
balik rumah umi buat ni:

1. Minum air dari tudung periuk. selawat 3x
2. kepai nasi dan telan..................petua orang tua2.........

Pagi Khamis, dah mula rasa sakit sikit......try minum minyak angin yg Ain bagi....tak menjadi. terus serve internet cari petua lekat tulang.....macam2 ada.....semua umi cuba:

1. Baca bismillah 41x, alfatihah 41x, then 3 Qul......malam jumaat.....dengan penuh tawaduqnya umi buat, minum air yg telah dibacakan surah2 tadi.
2. Celup jari dalam madu. selawat 3x dan hisap jari. ulang banyak kali.
3. baca surah AlKautsar

semua dah buat, sakit semakin menjadi-jadi.....ingatan kepada doktor sangat kuat, tapi hati masih takut, terbayang mulut dinganga dan dijolok....adui tak sanggup.

Pagi Sabtu:  Norzahana sms dari Pahang, bagi petua yg dia dapat dari ayah dia........ini memang umi ulang banyak kali......sakit telingapun dah bermula. Sejurus selepas solat taubat dan Dhuha, umi ambik air segelas....buat berulang-ulang kali :

1. Letak tapak tangan di tengkuk
2. Baca alfatihah 1x
3. Baca AlInsyirah 1x
4. Baca 5 ayat pertama Yaasin 1x
5. baca 2 ayat terakhir Yaasin  3x.
6. Niat tulang telepas dari tekak
7. picit dan urut tengkuk ke bawah beberapa kali........ada perubahan tapi masih tak sepenuhnya
Sambutan harijadi umi amat sederhana, jiwa masih merana mengenangkan tekak masih sakit.

Pagi Ahad:  Tak pi kerja sebab nak pi jumpa dr di KMC...nak tau tulang dah turun ke...sebab rasa macam tak dak tapi awat dok sakit lagi......umi mesti make sure....
8.30 hantar Ayish pi rumah mak dia. Ayish demam dan amat tak selesa tidur. Semalaman umi kena jaga dia,ditambah dengan tekak yang sakit, maka.......

9.00 sampai KMC, ke tingkat 3 dan register....yg ada cuma Dr Mahfuz pakar ENT......dalam 5 minit dipanggil.......cerita kat dr apa yg terjadi. dr check.....tak la seteruk yg umi dok takut. now alat canggih....letak teropong and tengok....tv atas tunjuk segala......memang clear ....tak dak apa. So dr kata:
kalau nak tau lebih lanjut kita boleh 1. xray   2. bedah.......adui kalau x dak nak bedah wat apa. terus umi kata;  Kalau gitu dr bagi saya antibiotik dulu, kot2 luka saja......amboi lebih pada dr pulak. terus dia agree dan prescribe 3 jenis ubat; antibiotik, lozenge dan surut bengkak......rm150++.......bayar dan terus balik.
dari tengahari ke malam, umi dah rasa ada perubahan sikit demi sikit, sakit telinga dah tak dak......doa umi agar tekaan umi benar dan insyaallah dalam 2, 3 hari lega la kot.......tolong doakan sama ye......umi terbayang kalau orang dulu lekat tulang, mak kata, biar saja lama-lama dia reput. tudia power orang dulu no.

itulah rentetan cerita lekat tulang....kisah ini memberi pengjaran yg bukan sikit pada umi....agaknya dan tentunya Allah nak peringat umi jaga tutur kata....jangan dok cakap yg bukan-bukan.........insaf,insaf, insaf........

Birthday, Bone and Br....

Today, alhamdulillah i celebrated my 48th birthday. Nothing special, just be thankful Allah granted me with a wonderful life, caring family, understanding friends and a good job...actually the list goes on....................

Actually, the most important thing i need is my mom's prayers for my peaceful and blessed life...i know without her prayers, i am a nobody.....my late father was also my pillar of strength, a person who always became my supporter in whatever i did......

Today's celebration was a simple one, though....only lunch at Merry Brown...a my choice was only a bowl of broth....why? i could ask for a better one, but unfortunately i had a sore and painful throat.cause?......well a few days ago i had some fish for lunch and i didnot know what went wrong, but i quess a fishbone got stuck in my throat, an experience that i did not have for a long time....once during my.childhood time and now it happened again. First i thought it would be ok , but then i started feeling the pain.....woa....it was worse than i thought. i tried numerous petua which i got from friends, internet, home remedies and whatnot  but none came to a success. the idea of going to a doctor kept bugging me, but i am scared thinking that the doc would pry open my mouth, stuck something and it will be painful........hampa senang la cakap, i yg nak rasa.....but worse come to worse, i will do it......

Well, what is a birthday without a present right? i already had an early thought before the day........no need to wait for a surprise that i might not like, so i decided to visit Poh Kong and got a  new bracelet.....a swap actually.....my the price of 1gm of 916 gold is now rm195.......manyak mahai oi......but u know me.....if i want it, i will get it......so pain aside, i am a happy lady........this is not for tunjuk2, this is for my own need. and actually this is one of a few things that i cannot live without.....beside handbags n shoes.... i work hard so i think i deserve a bit of luxury, right?

Thank you to all my FB friends who posted their wishes.....so kind n thoughtful of u......i know i am surrouded by caring people.....that makes my life more happening.........even though this time, no cakes served......not good for our health right?

MUET Fever is Back

 MUET fever is broiling and boiling our students to the limit and this was what we could do as a final preparation.  Since i am in charge of Students Academic Achievement program, i roped in all my friends to deliver a talk at 7 venues in KMK....all done simultaneously......

 Miss Noorzita in action, my partner who gave all her best in guiding them with the speaking components.....

 Sadly, the turn out was this few...out of 500 accounting students, this was a tip of the iceberg. Congratulations for those who defeated their tiredness after Larian Kakom in the morning and still present for the talk in the afternoon. i pray they will get the best results this time.....

 Tutorials were filled in with reading.....aduihh some answered while sleeping. However, i could see an encouraging improvement from Test 1 to Test 4....i gave them past years questions to be answered.....this is our MUET: Past for Future program.......S1K2T6A/6B.....don't let me down k........

 Listening component was also given a serious attention....their last listening test.....many scored from 13 and above.......upon 20.......hope they will "pasang telinga elok2 during the test"....S3K2T2A/2B.......

Posing is a must, scoring is a priority, Band 6 could be a dream, but not impossible........make my day dear students.  Tomorrow 16th October will be the first day for speaking and i am absolutely sure many will have a sleepless night tonight...........apa pun........prove that KMK can........MUET 2012 IS THE BEST.............

Luahan Hati Seorang Ibu

Dalam semak ada duri
Burung kedidi buat sarang
Setiap hari mak menanti
Sunyi sepi duduk seorang

Ada drebar, adalah kereta
Suruh jalan langsung tak mau
Dok berendam si air mata
Sedih pilu sapa yang tahu

Makan pagi roti canai
Tak kenyang lagi tambah mi
Rumah buruk disarang anai
menanti masa rebah ke bumi


Lempaq kain sangkut ke dinding
Nak melawat rumah Pak Jang
Daun pisang kering meleding
Semak samun rumput memanjang


Tidur lewat terus mamai

Mimpi kawaq curi barang
Anak lapan tak tentu ramai
Bila jauh, tinggailah seorang


Dalca daging  dalam peti
Makan dengan nasi beriani
Kalau ada rasa simpati
Mai la balikjenguk mak ni..........................

Sunyi Weh Malam Ni

We are left with Adik only tonite. Alin and Ayish already made a promise to spend overnight at their sitter's house. bidding bye-bye to umi is a no problem thing to them....adui....one thing about them...they can divide their love and attention between their umi and mak in a flash....it only shows that their sitter, Pn Suwaibah is really a caring mak, entertain their whims and fancies, unlike umi.

let me reveal a little bit about this lady. Actually in 1982, while umi was waiting for my SPM results, umi n friend, Cik Maznah ( now a uitm lecturer) attended a typing class in Jitra....and our teacher was none other than this kak......so we became close and we even went to her house in Padang Sera for lunch.....i even suggested that my brother took her as his wife....but no jodoh katakan.

When we ( Cik Maznah and Umi) went overseas to continue our studies, we lost contact with her for years and finally one day, she contacted me, saying that she got my number by asking my brother who was working at Maybank that time.  it was in 2002, i guess. Then one day, when Alin was 9 months, her sitter, Mak Cik Ton could not take care of her anymore so i went on a frantic search for a new sitter.  Suddenly i remembered kak Su......so happen, she told me that she was looking after her neighbour's son....and the good news was, she was willing to take Alin. Syukur alhamdulillah.....then came Ayish n still she continues looking after them. so it has been almost 9 years and this long relationship is tightly formed and maintained.

So, it is not a surprise if they tergedik-gedik if they get the chance to sleep at mak's house.......never mind.....we only have Adik, the no noise, no sound, no movement one at home........
