Provision For Healthy Appetite

We replenish our provision for grocery on weekly basis expect for certain items that are highly perishable.

• We do not buy that regular size loaf of bread anymore, it's jumbo nowadays. And it's at least 2 a week.
• We do not buy eggs that come in 10's. It's 30 these days and it doesn't last a week.
• We buy at least 5 cartons of low-fat milk. At times, I skip a day or two from putting another after the last one is finished.
• We buy condensed milk in jumbo can.
• We buy Milo in its biggest can.
• We need drummet, nugget and giant sausage stock up in the fridge every week.
• We buy 5kg of rice each week.

Healthy appetite, aren't we?

This is really a low key version of shopping.
Kalau yang major, full to the brim.
Ironhide is Iman's. He has endless appetite for Transformers.

Trick or treaaattt!!

Quiet, Am I Not?

was and am not necessarily busy.
something bothers me.
lots of things actually.
sleepless night on some days or another.
maybe i should be back blogging.

Ummi Yang Marah

Pagi-pagi lagi saya dah naik hot. Iya,.. hot that I sweat in morning cold. I've just finished mandi-manda, keluar-keluar bilik air, Iman tengah melalak kat tangga. Melalak ni bersamaan makna dengan menangis sekuat-kuat hati. Sebab? Sebab dia bangkit-bangkit je, si Kakak dah siap mandi. Dia pulak nak mandi saing dengan Kakak. Dahh si Kakak kena tunggu kat pintu bilik air sampai dia siap mandi.

Pastu, I was about to solat Subuh. I told him to go downstairs and pakai baju dengan Bibik. He refused and I wasn't planning to budge either. I did my solat and he was there, still, all wrapped up dalam towel, obviously waiting for me. My mood for the day had slowly diminished by then. Okaylah, I'm a good mom so pakai lah dia baju sekolah dia.

Went down untuk ke ofis. Bekal dia dah siap, which was roti bakar 4 keping. He saw another 2 on the table and insisted hak itu jugak masuk bekal dia. Oh well. Masuk bekal. Adam can have another sbb semalam baru beli roti satu bantal besar.

I was in the car already when he started searching for devastator (sila gugel transformer ye..). I handed him the plastic bag yang ada devastator dalamnya. That thing is dam* big and heavy. Pastu dia taknak pulak and said something 'patah'. Last-last after interogation dengan mata maknya dah bulat dan hampir nak menyala-nyala marah, tak bawaklah devastator tu.

And all the while Iman buat perangai pagi tadi, Adam pulak kept on following me high and low. Adoilah anak-anak sekelian, kalau abah ada, elok je behave. The father is somewhere not in Malaysia, btw.

I was driving in foul mood. I reached Menara safely nevertheless. I was thinking. Had I failed him (Iman). He obviously loves me more above anyone else. That is why he insisted everything must be me, maybe.

Balik ni kena singgah beli cekelat sugus yang dia pesan malam semalam (Among others la.. antaranya another set of Optimus Prime and a cat. Yes people, dia order seekor kucing)

Kain Batik oh Kain Batik

Scene 1 - suatu hari pada minggu lepas
Saya hadir rumah terbuka P*S Malaysia di Concorde.
Diberi kain batik as favors.
Terima kasih.
Balik jamuan, bos bertanya.
Kain batik dipakaikah?
Gelak. Gelak.
Pakai masa dalam pantang je bos.
Pakailah... cantik.
Manis aje.
Saya suka isteri saya pakai kain batik.
Quotenya: Abang suka sayang pakai kain batik. Manis isteri abang.
(aooooowwwwww.... suwitnya kan)
Kain batik saya letak atas meja, buat hiasan.
Cantik bergulung. Siap bereben.

Scene 2 - lantas semalam...
Yang, bos I kan.. *ulang cerita di atas*
You?
Suka. Sambil senyum.

Hari ni
Bawak kain batik token balik rumah!

Berdandan Diri

Ada orang tegur kulit muka ku sudah firm.

Yessss!!!

Weighty Issue

Being a small, thin, petite me, I looked forward to weigh-gains.
And yet when I could not fit in my old kebaya, it was not exciting at all.
I realised it's not weight that is my issue, but shape.
I haven't told that yang tak muat tu di pinggang saja kan?

Fotostat Siapa?

Selama-lama ni orang kata muka Iman fotostat muka saya. Balik Tgg raya hari tu, ipar-ipar saya terjumpa gambar-gambar nostalgia. Antaranya gambar suami saya masa kecik-kecik. Raut muka, cara mata memandang, renungan sama sebijik sebijon cam Iman. Malangnya saya tak ada kesempatan nak scan gambar tu. Tapi, cuba tengok gambar-gambar kat bawah ni. Ni ambik masa cuti raya baru-baru ni.


So, anak ummi kah? Atau anak abah?

Tak Sihat

Masuk pagar rumah hari Jumaat lepas balik keje.
Keluar pagar pagi tadi.
Wiken tak ke mana-mana pun.
Hari Khamis si Kakak dengan Adam tak sihat.
Jumaat, Iman pulak.
Semalam saya pening. Sampai muntah-muntah.
Lepas tu sakit kepala pulak.
Bukan. Bukan yang itu. Bulan tengah mengambang nih.
Tebby kata sebab rehat banyak sangat sejak ada bibik.
Mungkin jugak, badan saya tak tune untuk duduk-duduk saja.
Mujur ada orang sanggup jadi mesin ogawa.
Thanks Yang.
Hari ni Tebby suruh duduk rumah saja.
Baik jangan, nanti rehat-rehat banyak sangat, harus saya pening lagi.
So, saya di ofis ya hari ni.

Signs of Ageing

i'm getting old..

i so want that teakwood daybed i saw in IKANO the other day. If only it's not RM4k...
i drool over dining sets ala-ala vantage. If only it doesn't cost that much.
i want to have that big mirror with teak frame to hang at the dining area.. If only I could find it el-cheapo in KL.
most importantly, if only my saving is as old and fat as my taste ha ha ha..

in the mean time, keep on dreaming baby!
