2010 is approaching. what have i done in 2009? i did quite a number of travelling. starting with anniversary celebration in medan/lake toba just the two of us. first timeconquering medan and dinna quite like attracted to it as compared to jakarta.
then in march unexpectedly we got to go to holland. visiting cikwa. this time me with my other half and danish. we left hanna for 2 weeks. it was fun and memorable especially i got to go to germany and france as well.
in may our office made office trip to jakarta. as usual this one was for me and it was purely ladies excursion only.
then there was phnom penh yearly trip to restock our shop (which has been closed now) in June.
i went to guangzhou with cik wa emi and leng. it was a fun trip. no stress/no pressure/no wasting time just leisure and shopping.
then to hong kong in october together with my mom and all my siblings. that one was purely to please the children.
other than travelling, aiman entered primary one and my early morning life begins;my maid left me after 3 and a half year of service. my partner fly off to new zealand following her hubby to further his master. i closed down our shop in central square. aiman got snipped off in december. hanna got admitted due to high fever. i celebrated raya in kuala kubu (this one need to be recorded in case i forgot whose turn is it next year) hahahhaha. i celebrated raya haji in sungai petani without my mom since she went to birmingham following cikman for nearly 3 weeks.
all in all 2009 was good. it could be better and it could be worse but thanking HIM for the just nice way 2009 went off and hoping for a better year.

say good bye
after 2 yeras plus of hard work and nurturing;finally i have to say good bye to my precious one "my little pocket".
it's not that i don't love it anymore but i just could'nt afford to juggle my firm and the shop plus at home without a maid all by myself.
it's not an easy decision to close up a bussiness.
i felt like a failure.
i felt like i have betrayed it.
but somehow a decision has to be made.
in times like this (the economy) i mean. what's the point of holiding up when in the end i still have to let go (and with much debt).
now i'm in the process of clearing it up.
not an easy one too with the time constraint and what not.
and i am so very thankful to be given a very patient and wonderful husband who's been with me through thick and thin and for being so supportive and helpful during this particular time inneed.
we have been on and off to the shop this week. too many things to do with just the two of us unpacking/unassemble/ loading it to the car/unloading it geez just can't think of a place to dump all these.
so i say good bye
good bye to you my favourite one
till we meet again

mengira hari
kita boleh mengira hari untuk beberapa sebab.
for me now mengira hari sebab cuti sekolah akan mula bercuti tak lama lagi
yeay
tak perlu bangun pagi menyiapkan makan/pakai aiman
bolehlah berehat sekurang-kurangnya sebulan setengah
tapi bila anak cuti kena fikirlah pulok apa aktiviti yang dia nak buat.
tahun ni cadangnya nak sunatkan aiman. dah buat booking tapi belum confirmed.
selain dari mengira hari untuk cuti sekolah aku pon dok berkira-kira dalam kepala ni untuk ikut tabang ke langkawi. ada course katanya
well it's kinda a paid holiday for us. but he's gonna stay there for almost a week. apa nak buat kat langkawi for a week. no offence langkawi people tapi kat sungai petani pon takder apa nak buat kalau duduk seminggu. plus we won't have a car and am stuck with the two kids while dear tabang attend the course.
tengoklah macamana nanti

awal tahun baru ni aiman masuk darjah 1. dah habis darjah 1 pasni naik darjah 2. dah nak masuk 8 tahun dah umur anak aku. huhuhuhu memang tak terasa masa berlalu bila kita tak perasan. tapi bila kita mula mengira aku rasa masa berjalan terlalu lambat. so nak lambatkan masa kena start mengira lah ni

an open house and a wedding
excuse my ramblings for few previous posts.hahhaha otak sewel sikit.
sabtu lepas berkesempatan menghadiri 1 rumah terbuka (my hubby's superior) and 1 wedding( my friend's).
dekat rumah terbuka santapan yang disediakan agak menyelerakan namun dengan karenah anak2 yang terpaksa dilayan cuma sempat menjamah beberapa suap. cukuplah alas perut sebelum ke parit buntar untuk majlis perkahwinan m*la.lagipun tak bawak anak-anak ke sana. hahahha. sempat berjumpa kawan-kawan lama yang kebayakannya dah expanding (like myself) dan ada yang masih maintain especially the bride(mengancam gitu) dan tidak kurang yang masih maintain (ini adalah seseorang in particular).
seronok juga berkesempatan catch-up here and there tapi tak bolehla nak buat havoc kat kenduri orang kan?hehehehhehe.
opps btw ada daily maid come to my house now for cleaning. kurang sikit beban. sempurna klembali kehidupanku.

since you been gone
you dalam tajuk diatas ditujukan kepada bik
sejak bik takde mama dah jadi garang aiman kata. ayah pon kata sama jugak. so conclusion: bukan saja mama perlukan bibik aiman and ayah juga perlukan bibik so that kehidupan mereka menjadi tenang. hehheheheh
bukan niat nak jadi garang/tension dan yang sewaktu dengannya. tapi bila badan dan minda dah penat sifat semulajadi tak dapat dibendung. maybe i need time to readjust my mind; body and soul.
sejak bik takde kesian juga kat moomy terpaksa melayan karenah hanna yang sememangnya menguji kesabaran mama. (tapi dengan opah ok pulak. takla nampak opah tu tension) mama ditambah dengan beban tugas dan kerja di office itu yang jadi macam singa tuh. hehhehe
sejak bik takde my hubby complained susah nak sembang ngan i sebab garang sangat. my advise to you dear hubby: pandai -pandai lah tackle i. kawen dah 7 years takkan tak tahu lagi kots.
sejak bik takde i admit i have become overly sensitive. tapi nak buat macam mana perasaan-perasaan ini bukannya dibuat-buat ia berkait dengan rasa dan perasaan
semoga my mind; body and soul cepat boleh adapt with my new lifestyle and responsibility...aminn
and semoga aiman will get his cheerful mom back

hong kong trip
kami buat family gathering for hari raya di hong kong. anak-anak, menantu dan cucu-cucu cikgu rohana. sebab dapat tiket murah dan kebetulan masa hari raya semua cuti jadi senanglah kami nak rancang trip kali ni.
from penang my family, opah,mimi, nana and anis. we all park kereta kat airport penang rm 20 per day.
from kl abang and family and man and cik wa.
flight from penang departed at 6am and arrived at hong kong international airport 3 hours and 40 minutes after departure. sampai hong kong we waited for the kl people to arrive and while waiting kami dapatkan octopus card for each and everyone since kami travel sendiri dan akan menggunakan public transport. octopus card ni macam touch and go. HKD 150 for adult with HKD 50 as deposit and preloaded with HKD100. for kids kena hkd 70 with preloaded value of HKD 20. kalau tak cukup kena top up later.
frm airport we took A21 bus route to mongkok area. kita dah pre booked hostel kat area mongkok and have prepared for the worst situation since from what we have read bilik2 kat hong kong ini sangatlah kecilnya. we booked 2 rooms for 5 pax in each room with ensuite private bath.. hahahha tajuk macam canggih. and we were charged HKD 100 per pax per nite. lebeh kurang rm 50 sorang. the hostel turned out to be ok. not bad for a hostel. i'm kinda impressed jugak dengan cleanliness of the hostel..betul2 memuaskan.
dragon inn hostel kat argyle road dekat sangat dengan ladies market.
so after check inn kami berjalan2 ke ladies market and area sekitarnya. after that took a mtr to tsim sa tsui to find halal food. kat sini ada tempat nama chungking mansion memang banyak muslim food. ada kowloon mosque jugak kat area nih. the food price boleh tahan la. for a kebab the cost is arpound HKD 35 each. nasik beriani set HKD 40. hahhaha nasib baik bawak food banyak from mesia.
we all kat area tst till malam cos at nite kat avenue of stars tuh boleh tengok a symphony of lights show every nite at 8pm. sementara ada masa we took a star ferry to hong kong island. sekejap saja tak sampai 15 minutes pon. for a return ticket the cost is approximtely HKD 5.(upper deck).
pukul 8pm we all dah tunggu kat avenue of stars and the show lasted for 14 minutes. we headed back home to prepare for a second day adventure.
DAY 2
hari nih memang kami dah plan nak spent the whole day kat disneyland. bangun awal makan siap siap. lepas tuh pegi beli tiket kat admin hostel nih. they have discounted disneyland tickets. takla murah mana instead of 350 HKD for adult we got 330 HKD and 140HKD for aiman instead of 150HKD. hanna and arissa tak beli tiket pon. hanna yet to be 3. arissa is smaller than hanna so we just cincai.
from hotel we took mtr to disneyland. cari sampai ada disneland resort line. yang ketapi nya sedikit exclusive dengan cermin gamba mickey and other disney decorations.
sampai-sampai disneyland tak bukak lagi. cuaca panas sangat. we were amongst the first to enter and yet dalam dok terhegeh hegeh tuh tak sempat nak que to take pictures with mickey and minnie.
we spent one whole day check out from disneyland around 9pm

pagi-pagi lagi me dah tension ngan hubby cos malam before raya i.e last nite he went out with his fren lepak and all and he left me with his two children kat umah. memangla umah mentua sendiri and we all pont bukannya baru kawen hehhehe but i was stuck with my two kids and very sleepy and still could'nt figure out where to sleep and most importantly how on earth to force these 2 kids who is overly exicited with their cousins to sleep. terus got headache and consequently bangun pagi dengan keadaan tension.
the best thing is the next morning my beloved hubby boleh tanye ngape tension..wahai kaum lelaki adakah kamu sekelian sememangnya tidak dapat mengagak sebabnya or sengaja buat2 tak dapat agak. for me the reason is quite obvious. hahahaha takdela tension sangat saja suka buat drama di pagi raya.
anyhow sebagai menunjukkan protes up till now i have'nt change my raya attire. so no family picture to be posted. sorry.
however lama manalah me boleh protest. after this going to kl meet up with his grandma. so better put on my glamer raya attire and stop protesting. after all raya datang setahun sekali.

tercari-cari semangat raya
hari jumaat; last day kerja before raya. ramai yang dah ada kat kampung halaman. since i'm here in kampung halaman... memang tak cuti lagi. head off to office ingatkan keja suma dah settle, unfortunately ada one job pending. being a very generous and considerate boss gave my staff half day off.. dalam usaha untuk mencari semangat raya untuk diri sendiri...
balik umah b4 lunch and thought that the matters have been settled.
why so rushing to go back home? hahahhaha bibik sudah balik.. smalam ngantar di bandara penang. hmmm 1st day without bibik..patutla semangat raya pudar.. takpe rileks..
so after semayang jumaat pegi tukar duit ..ehhehe bukan duit raya tukar duit kat money changer.. nak bagi foreign currency for duit raya ke? ahahhahaha tungggu.....
dah nak balik umah this bank officer called. needed to go back to the office. the empty office cos generous me dah bagi me staff balik muahahhahahhaha
since dah generous kan kesian pulak nak suruh staff pegi office buat itu ini plus me needed to be there to darft the letter.. so lastly me stuck at me office till 5pm in the evening..sangat sunyi dan sayu rasa hati. seperti diperantauan pulak.ahaks.so sapa kata keje sendiri nih best sangat memerlukan kesabaran tau....
so okla in the end me masih tercari cari semangat raya yang masih tiada..adakah dibawa pulang ke indonesia oleh bibik????....

16th september
bangun pagi hati dah rasa tak best, although raya is just few days away. mana pergi semangat dan jiwa raya? hilang bersama masalah-masalah yang nak kena fikir before and after raya.
what are the problems: at this point in time my main concern is that bibik is going back for good after 3+years with us. after 3+ years of melemakkan myself of not having to think much about my domestic housework.
i have "ordered" for a replacement maid but it is not as easy at it sounds especially nowdays bila kerjaya maid itu begitu dimartabatkan di mata rakyat indonesia. i think the agent in indon is purposely delaying the arrival of my replacement maid. hanya tuhan yang tahu kenapa dokumen masih belum tiba. anyways i have been preparing myself to the worst situation; no replacement maid forever and have figure out few solutions and is praying hard that the solution that has been playing in my mind would work.
other problem: nak bayar gaji dan sedikit duit raya for my staff. gaji tuh okla memang kena bayar mungkin bayar awal sedikit.. duit raya tuh.. berapa nak bagi....hahhahaha dengan kegawatan ekonomi sekarang dan kegagalan menghubungi client untuk melunaskan hutang2 amat membebankan. tambah pulak lepas raya nih nak settle all those mak nenek my professional licence punya fees for the next year insurance and all.....
no wonder i have no mood for raya....
untuk menambahkan bebanan; just found out that my company dia not get to be in the panel for new phase of this particular housing project...hahahhahahaha
untuk menyedapkan hati.. nak buat camana bukan rezeki. mungkin allah merencanakan something better for us...
hari ni jugak harijadi arwah ayah. supposedly his 63rd birthday. ayah pergi meninggalkan kami when he was 46. 17 years has passed.
al-fatihah to arwah ayah
