Missing Items

When I started moving to new house n settled, I am back to my routine cooking n baking. On n on I realized when I wanted to use certain kitchen appliances, tools n I couldn’t find it. I sometimes sat for an hour thinking where are all my things gone.

I couldn’t find my big pot, food warmer, cooler box, baking tools n lots more. I got so frustrated. These are the items, my treasure that I bought n couldn’t be found in Malaysia. Those were from my ‘gaji’ given by my hubby.

I suspected those were missing during the packing n moving from Oman to Malaysia. When I received boxes, I’ve checked n received those according to the list. Nothing was missing according to the number in the list.

So where could it be? I don’t think those mover people back in Oman would interested to those kitchen items. But who knows? I am very certain that I’ve packed those in the boxes. I suspected those box might not be labelled or numbered. So when reach at the storage area they couldn’t figure out it belong to whom.

When we moved from KL to Miri, we lost our hi-fi system. It was taken from the box itself. The hi-fi was packed together with VCD player. The weird part was the hi-fi was gone but the box looked like it was not being opened at all.

After interrogation with the mover company we managed to get the replacement back in cash. But for this case, I guess it will be a gone case. I think I’ve lost 3 boxes. I’ve no proof to make a report n after all it has been almost a year.

So now I just like menangisi mengenangkan harta benda kesayangan yg tak tau sesat ke mana…

Busy Saturday

Last night I made a stimbot dinner at home. Mak n Faizah came n we invited Along n family to join us. It was overwhelming to see crowds in the house except we miss hubby n wish that he was around too. So to make him join us virtually, Faizah got the notebook n hooked the web cam n all of us ate n chatted with him. Thanks to this technology!

This morning I, Mak n Faizah went to the Taylor’s University College to attend the Awards Presentation Ceremony. Faizah has been awarded as one of the Taylor’s top achievers. Well done girl. We are really proud of u. Now she is having her leisure holiday while waiting for the course to start.

While in the evening I have my father coming around to the house. I took him out for a dinner at our favourite Thai Restaurant. Hakeem is so excited to see his Tok Ayah.

There goes my busy whole Saturday. Tomorrow I just plan to stay at home n start venturing with my new ‘little project’.

Hakeem With His New Friend

Hakeem got a new friend from the neighbourhood. His is a 6 years old malay boy name Gabriel. Gabriel popped up in front of our house yesterday evening while Hakeem was playing outside. Hakeem then called me introduced that he is his new friend. Hakeem asked my permission whether he can bring Gabriel up to his room to show his toys.

Wah.. I guess Hakeem never had a friend coming over to the house n that’s why he was a bit ‘ciwi’. Later then I heard them playing, laughing n running here n there. After 20min, Hakeem suddenly cried came to me complaint about Gabriel.

He said crying: ‘Mommy… Gabriel was so rude. He called me looser’. When asked why n whether he did something to his friend, Hakeem said nothing n they were playing bicycle. I told him just to ignore the boy. He then still not satisfied, I heard told Nadira about this.

Later then he came to me said ‘Mommy.. Kak Deea already told Gabriel not to be rude to me. Kak Deea said, don’t say that to my little brother. Then I asked Kak Deea to tell Gabriel not to come here anymore’ I smiled when I heard this.

During night time before sleeping Hakeem was asking about Gabriel. He said that he likes to be friend with Gabriel. Hehehehhhehe. I knew he gonna say this. I told Hakeem the next time if your friend come around, be nice to him. Don’t cry like a small baby. You are a tough boy.

And today, after came back from school Hakeem waited for Gabriel to come. After awhile Gabriel came n Hakeem was very happy. But then again, after 10min I heard Hakeem was shouting n crying complaining something to Gabriel. When asked, it’s because they were playing hide & seek n Nabila n Gabriel were gang up n shocked him by shouting behind his back.

That is Hakeem, my boy. My boy who is sometimes too spoilt being the youngest. He loves to play ‘fighting-fighting’ with his sisters to be the power rangers or warriors. But when comes to the real world, he always gave in to the opponents. It is not because he is afraid or weak but because he just being too considerate n doesn’t has heart to hurt others.

That’s why he always be the victim which on the other hand is not good for him. At school, he is known as the most considerate boy in the class. He always gives in n share things with the classmate. I am sure from the values that he learned, he will grown up to be a respectable person n of course nobody can bully him.

Miss 'Mac Gyver'

My maid was trying to be Mac Gyver which at the end up put all of us into trouble. Rasa mcm nak sepuk je dia! Just now she told me that the pipe that connects to the washing machine was leaking. I asked her how long this happened. She told me – udah lama buk….

I asked her when the people came to install the washing machine (I was not around) did u check that the water was leaking. She told me that it was fine at that time. I know this happened because she didn’t turn off the pipe after use. Because of the water pressure in my house is strong, it kept forcing the pipe head till it got loose n water dripping.

After a few minutes looked at the pipe connection n figured out what to do, I unscrewed the connection. I took out the water filter which attached to the pipe (given free by the w/machine ppl) as it was already dirty. Then I tried to connect it back to the pipe.

Guess what? I spent there for almost ½ hour – standing, sitting, squatting with my hubby tool box around me like pro.. kena ah tunjuk pro depan maid! Unscrewed, screwed, tested here n there BUT the water still dripping n it became worst as it burst out from the connection.

Bloody hell!! I felt like to cry. Why all these happened when I don’t have my man around! I told n scold my maid – kenapa baru sekarang kamu cakap benda ni bocor? Kenapa masa bapak ada tak cakap? Huh???

She just kept quite n showed her guilty face. I don’t know what to do anymore. I told her to clean up everything n will fix it later. Cewah… condident je. Which till now I am still thinking what to do. I know this thing is very simple. It is just my brain that cannot work to solve this simple one.

I will try again later in the evening.. And I hope so that I can solve it.

Back To Routine

After a long lazy break, my children start their school today. These past few days I’ve been telling Nabila n Hakeem that school will start today n they have to start sleep early. But for these past few days we were busy in n out n their sleeping time still late at night.

Faizah n my niece (Fify) were here last weekend. We were busy patronized from one Mall to another.. hehehhee.. Maklumlah bawa pelancung.. I did have a good time with them. We had a good time shopping, wandering n watching movies. My dad was here too as well.

Yesterday morning, our Sunday started by one by one left us. All of them went back n left me n the kids. The house is so quiet. I was just watching TV n lying on the couch waiting for the night to come.

This morning, all of us woke up with the new spirit. Nadira (surprisingly) woke up at 5.45am n got ready early n had her breakfast. Her transport came at 6.45am. Later then Nabila n Hakeem also woke up happily – no grumpy n crying. They were so excited to go to school to meet their friends.

When I sent them to school today, they just ran to their friends without turning back to say good bye to me! A happy day for both of them.

I cancelled my gym session today as I have to do a long list of groceries. I plan to start tomorrow morning. So there goes back my daily routine life.

A Trip To Veterinary

This morning I brought Nadira n the pet – SNOWE to the Vet. We discovered Snowe the rabbit was not being active n quiet which he usually not. He was like this since 2 days ago. I decided to take him to see the doctor after a ‘brain storming’ discussion, theory between me n children (who seems to know better).

After registered at the counter Snowe’s name is been called. This was actually my first time being to any animal clinic. Sorry.. which I think it was so funny n interesting. The doctor treated n examined the rabbit just like normal doctor does. Check his ears, nose, teeth n asked lots of questions which for Nadira to answer.

So after 5 minutes through, the doctor said the rabbit was fine n not having any fever. We will know that if he is having a fever if the tip of his ears is hot. The doctor said the rabbit is having a breakdown n stress period. Oh my God.. I can’t believe my ears when I heard this. I was about to laugh out but due to the respect n sanity to the doctor I just kept my mouth shut.

According to the doctor, since we just got the pet n it’s normal for any animal to have this kind of feelings. Snowe is used to his environment before n now just realized n trying adjusting into his new place. And that’s why he is so down, quiet n gloomy. The doctor kept repeating the word STRESS. Yes…. Doc, the rabbit is having a stress!

The doctor gave us a bottle of booster which to be given daily. This is to boost n enhance his body system. I was not really into this pet thingy but when looked at all my children from Faizah to Hakeem who were really concern, it’s proven that they are such a caring person. They were the one who worried more about SNOWE. They love the animal so much.

We just hope that Snowe will get over his stress period n active as normal.

Happy New Year 2009

Welcome 2009 n Happy New Year to everybody. Last night the residence association in my neighbourhood organized the informal get together for the New Year count down. I went there with my children n sister in-law family.

Around my house there is a spot where u can see the part of Klang Valley even the KLCC. So exactly 12 midnight we saw a row of fireworks blasting in the sky. We saw more than 10 fireworks. I guessed some were from KLCC, Dataran Merdeka, One Utama n even at Genting Highland.

Though we were able to see the fireworks from far n small but we still enjoyed the night. They were lots of food including satay, nasi lemak, kuetiaw kerang, cakes n lots more from the neighbours to celebrate the night. Unfortunately there was no firework heard n seeing in Shah Alam area. I wonder why..

No resolutions for me for the new year of 2009 except wishes n prayers. I wish n pray to Allah to give me happiness in my life. Please give me a good excellent health. I pray that my hubby n children will always be blessed n protected by Him. I pray that all my children will succeed in their study n life.

I hope the year of 2009 promise me n my family joyous n prosperous. Happy New Year.
