The Parting

Today afternoon, again I went to KLCC. Not for shopping but to meet Rohaya n at the same time to fetch Nadira back home as she slept over with Aina at the hotel. They will be going back to Oman at 3am tomorrow morning flight. Spent our last few hours together.

The last few hours seems to be ticking so fast that we have to make a move. The parting part is always the one that nobody likes especially Nadira-Aina (mcm kembar siam n didn’t want to be separated even for a second) n of course Nabila-Hakeem-Zaid. As for me, I will definitely miss my dearest buddy.

I hope that Rohaya, Haji n kids will have a smooth journey n safely arrive in Muscat. I don’t know when will us be seeing again, maybe next few months? Or another year? But all of u will always be in my heart.

For another two days, my hubby will be coming back home. We’ll be meeting again Lyn's family n others. And for sis Oja.. ku menanti kepulanganmu..

The Reunion

This morning after sent my kids to school, I went to the Maid Agency. It seems nowadays is so difficult to apply for a maid. As I am a homemaker n not working, that makes me not entitle to have a maid. For that I have to prepare some documents to backup my application. And that means I can never get the maid soon!

After settled at the agency, I went to fetch my two little one at school n rushed to Genting for Nadira’s school. Today is a Parents Meet Teachers Day – report card day. Her result is average but the teachers were not so happy with her performance n participation in class.

Later then I drove down to KLCC to meet my dearest friends from Oman. I am so so excited n happy to see them. We chatted like old days except no ‘shawarma’ in front of us! It’s so good to see Royaha, Haji, Lyn, Hamzah n kids.

The most excited n happiest among us I guess was Hakeem. He’s so glad to see his buddy – Haikal. They were playing, running n hugging each other. And can u believe that they were talking about their friends back in Oman. Haikal was in the same school with Hakeem. And Hakeem can remember all the names one by one.

As for Abang Zaid who seems to be a bit matured cannot masuk with these two little boys. Abang Zaid hung up with his girlfriend Nabila! They talked the same level n interest. Orang dah besar lah kata kan…

We were at the KLCC for a while as after that rushed to visit Kakak Jamaliah at Subang Jaya. And there goes another reunion. Isn’t it nice.. except I wish my hubby was around too!

We bid farewell to each other at 8.30pm. Though today is a long day for me, but I am so pleased n contented to see all my friends. On the way back home, Hakeem n Nabila were non-stop saying that they want to go back to Oman. And I guess I’ll be hearing this for a another few days..

Empty Promise

The sweet talking, promises n promises.. Last last habuk pun tarak.. I feel so crossed n annoyed today! This person at the first place offered me helps which a few times I tried to deny it for do not one to trouble her. But she insisted that she wants to do it.

So reluctantly I let her took over ‘it’. This case has been dragging since 2 weeks ago. And till now there is still no solution about it. And now I am the one who has to face the consequences. When called, it’s forever the no answer call n always not bother to return a call except if she feels she need it.

I just cannot take this anymore. I don’t want n not a kind of person to start enemy with somebody. So for the best n not to prolong this matter, I will take control of it. If I don’t do it I might lost this opportunity.

For some people when they offer the help, they are really sincere n mean it. But for others, they just do it for the sake of saying it. Why at the first place u offer it when u don’t want to do it. And for me why am I so being nice to take your word. I look at u as somebody that I respect. I don’t mind at all if I have to do it all by myself. But u keep insists.

Lesson to learn – I have to be more careful next time.

The Deal

This morning, I finally signed the agreement giving the ‘licence’ n ‘authority’ for the Mr Contractor to start hacking the wall of my house. I felt so relieved. After gone thru a few meetings – bang there bang here.. shouted n argued for the pricing, at last we came to the agreement.

He will start with the wet work first as the ID n furniture part will come later. I am still not satisfied with the price given. I hope everything will go smooth as planned.

I am also happy today coz my dearest friend from Oman is in KL. I will be meeting them tomorrow. Can’t wait to see her n family.. Sure we got lots of things to catch up...

Durian oh Durian

I am now at Malacca. Came back to visit Mak, Ayah n for durians. My mother in-law called me two weeks ago informing that "durian dah banyak gugur… balik lah makan.." I was jumping when hearing that. Every year me n hubby always missed our home durian’s season. It’s always that we got the tempoyak part!

But now this year I am be able to enjoy it. The moment I arrived yesterday evening, Mak got the durians for me n Faizah to eat. Both of us had 2 durians each! Huh.. memang sodap.. For my hubby, u don’t worry coz there a still a lot for u. Insyaalah u will be able to taste it.

On the other hand, Nabila n Hakeem who loves rambutan so much were so excited to see the yellow rambutans generously hanging on the trees. They love it so much. Running around from one tree to another. Every year the durian trees behind the house never fail us. It’s always the supply is more than the demand.

Indeed every year Mak jadi orang kaya during this time. The same regular people every year will come n buy the durians from her. And today she treated us break fast n lunch.. :)

One Year Old

One year ago, today is the day when I started as a blogger. What drives me to have my own blog, my own space n my own voice virtually is mainly of course after seeing almost everybody around me has one n why not me? Then I started to be so obsessed to it that I made a point to have a posting everyday. It’s not like I am perasan that everybody is looking forward for it but it’s just the feelings that I guess all bloggers have.

It did happen at one peak that I felt so lazy n no idea even to write a single line. But that still didn’t make me forget that I’ve a responsiblity to my own blog. When looked thru to all my previous postings, mostly were my thoughts n feelings of my day to day life. And it does still continue till now. Stories n experiences that I love to share with all my readers.

On top of all the excitement n enthusiasm of posting out stories, I will never forget the ‘tragedy’ which at that time had stirred my days. I am not like those one of the politicians, artists, celebrities or activist. Whatever in their blog are always the hot n sensation issues.

What are posting in my blog here may only interest to a small crowd that knows me or maybe someone that just like to read what I write here. I know that I can’t stop people to read n condemn n even to hate what’s written here. This is the risk that I have to take. Macam artis n bagus ah pulak.. hehehehehe..

Anyway things happen for reasons. I got to know the real friend that can be trusted n the one that should be avoided. That’s all about life.

Whatsoever I will never stop writing n posting what I want. I would like to take this opportunity to say MILLION THANKS to all my readers that I know out there n even those that I don’t know (silent reader) for knocking n visiting my space.

Happy Birthday ‘voguemom.blogspot.com’.

The Therapy

I need a break. My mind now seems so tired n stressed out. I just got the price from Mr Contractor for the cost of our house renovations. The price given was just toooo mucchhhh n way out from our budget. We are not very happy about it. Now I’m waiting for them to revise the entire unnecessary n unreasonable quotes.

So for the remedy, I need some ‘fresh air’. I just need to stroll along in the area where they have big shops or Mall which sell all the things that I love. Ever heard that the best therapy for woman is shopping? Ehem.. So today I went to Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. I bought materials for our baju raya. YES! At first I don’t really looking forward for Eid as maybe I might just have to celebrate it with my kids.

But when hubby gave his home visit plans, I was so excited. He will be around during Eid. And this will be our first time to celebrate Eid Aidil Fitri in Malaysia (since we’ve been away for so long).

I am actually not good in choosing these kain ela. Believe it or not, all these while my mom was the one who bought for me the materials. And after being away for so long, baju raya seems not to be the priority. So I just wear those I had before n don’t really bother to make new one.

Until today n being there alone, I was totally lost n confused. But at last managed to get what I think suit for all of us. So I’ve settled the girls part except for boys. This I have to wait till my hubby is back home.

By then I hope that our house will be ready especially my kitchen. I plan to make some kek lapis Sarawak (our all time favourite). And this time I don’t have to worry about the stock ingredients. This time I can lavishly put in my best secret recipe! Kalau masa kat Oman, kedekut gitu.. jimat cermat..

So I hope when I see Mr Contractor tomorrow, he will give me the good price.
