Go With the Flow

4th July 2011 - 2nd day kat office. Decided to just go with the flow. Anyway, I just had to pen this down. Somehow rasa funny.

When I was away, there's this mamat occupies my cubicle. Since I was just on leave, tak lah clearkan semua benda. Cam files, booklets, training materials semua ada lah kat meja tu. When I came back, I got to know he had packed things up.. not his but mine!

I am now sitting and making myself comfy at one quite corner. 5s-ing 3 big boxes of God-Knows-What. I didn't know I had so many things. In fact too many things! Oh btw, I don't have a fixed phone yet. Call/sms my mobile k.

Anyway, it's a little boring for the past 2 working days. My close frens tau lah apsal. I am overly overpaid, I'd say. But let's just savor the moment for now.

Oit, today is 4th July eh? Happy 4th Birthday to Vivi! Lagi 3 tahun nak habih loan :D

Life Goes On

Life goes on. I must move on.

Menoktahkan satu fasa perjalanan hidup yang amat bermakna buat diriku. Pada hari Jumaat yang penuh berkat ini, perjalanan selanjutnya bermula. Moga yang mendatang indah-indah belaka.

Giveaway 1 - Result

This post is gonna stick until 30th Jun 2011. Scroll down for my usual ramblings.

UPDATE ~ PN OREN, PN ASU DAN PN AINI, I NEED YOUR ADDRESSES PLEASE. PN OREN NYER EMAIL KAK MON X DAPAT.. BOLEH TOLONG SEND LAGI SEKALI? THANKS.

Hurmpp... finally. I can now reply to my first giveaway read here). Habislah lepas ni takde orang nak join dah. Kak Mon yang lembapss okay. Janji 2nd week May, ni dah nak masuk June weii. From the deepest of my heart ya, so sorry. My life has been so kelamkabut since si Bibik Murni left (I'll blog about this later, tapi ntah bilalah later nye tu..).

Oh okay, I got only 8 persons commenting. Orang lain buat giveaways sure berpuluh-puluh or ada yang beratus-ratus feedback kan. Owh, tak glamnya Kak Mon. Tapi, TERIMA KASIH BANYAK-BANYAK kepada 8 orang yang bagi feedback. Kak Mon amatlah menghargainya.

Kak Ina (whom I first virtually met in Forum Cari)
1. Thanks For The Memories by Cecilia Ahern
2. The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger
Thanks K Ina for suggesting, first person pulak tu. Anyway, I have both books already. Thanks for The Memories tu belum baca. I read quarterway thru a novel by the same author (Ahern), If You Could See Me Now. I decided er... I favor Jodi Picoult writing to Cecilia Ahern. The second book, The Time Traveller's Wife, sudahpun dibaca dengan jayanya. I loike.

Asu Bahiyah (ni pun geng Forum Cari)
1. Surat Ungu Untuk Nuha
2. Jaja & Din
Both ni Kak Mon takde and both belum baca. First book's tittle tu appealing enough for me to go and buy it (boleh ke alasan macam nih?). Jaja & Din tu pulak my frens back in the office memang dok baca. They suggested me to read that also. Tapikan, my frens tu late 20's or early 30's and I am approaching 40 oredi in a very-few-years time. Kadang-kadang pembacaan pun berkadar terus dengan age. Girls, put me in your list peminjam buku ni yek.

Bubbles of Dream
Thank you Bubbles for giving me the list of books! Appreciate that. And also thanks for reading my blog, right up to the archives!
1. Kite Runner by Khalid Hossein
2. Shopaholics by Sophie Kinsella
3. A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah
4. How Starbuck Saved My Life by Micheal Gates Gill
5. Books by Sandra Brown (thriller)
6. My True Story by Mende Nazer
I have tried reading the Shopaholic series but nampaknya tak appeal to me. I have read The Kite Runner and absolutely love it. And I have read A Long Way Gone too. Rasanya Bubbles and me ada similarities in our bahan bacaan. I may be getting book no 4 and no 6. It suprises me slavery still exist during this time.

Ummu Auni
Whom I first met virtually in blogger's world lepas tu jumpa face-to-face. We're working for the same company.
1. Do They Hear You When You Cry by Fauziya Kassindja
2. A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Spark
3. Trilogy Makrifat Cinta Taufiqurrahman al-Azizy
First and third book sound appealing enough, I maybe buying those. I have read another book by Nicholas Spark, The Last Song. Sadly tho, his kind of writing is not my cup of tea.

Aida
Ummu Auni's twin. Dah nama kembar kan, komen pun one after another. She suggested BAWAL by DBP. Kak Mon dah menggugel sana-sini, nampaknya tak berhasil mencari orang menjual buku ni :(

Oren
Oren sajes 2 buku. Both islamic. Thanks ya Oren. Ni pun macam best jer..
1. Travelog Syahadah by Muhammad Rashidi Abdullah
2. Magnet Rezeki dengan Solat Dhuha
We all know salah satu cara untuk dimurahkan rezeki ialah dengan menunaikan solat Dhuha. Tapi rata-rata 'tau tapi tak buat' Kak Mon pun sama. Moga Allah merahmati kita semua.

Mynie
Dia pernah pinjam buku-buku Kak Mon. Sharing is caring bak kata orang sekarang ni.
1. To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee
2. A Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night Time by Mark Haddon
Book 1 tu cam ala-ala class reader when I was in secondary school rasanya. And book 2, sudah di beli! Yes!

Nieta
Nieta ni pun mula-mula kenal thru cyber world. We also work for the same company.
1. Ayuh, Lari Ke Pulau Harapan by Noor Suraya
2. Kelab Sarjana - Misteri Rumah Asap di Ladang Seri Taming by Noor Suraya
Thanks Nieta. I'll try to coax Kakak into reading this. La ni dia nyer inclination banyak sangat ke siri Geronimo Stilton dengan adiknya si Thea Stilton.

I hope jangan ada pulak sapa-sapa terasa if I wrote that I don't favor certain books or certain authors. Even so, you all nyer feedback banyak membantu Kak Mon okay and again, I really appreciate that.

So, who's the winner?
1. Oren
2. Aini
3. Asu

Tahniah yer.. Mintak tolong emailkan address you all to aa.rozilawati at gmail dot com ya.

La Tahzan..

Things aren’t always as they seem. Musa's mother was told to throw her son in the river, Yusuf was left for dead in a well, Maryam delivered a child alone, Aisyah was accused of a terrible sin, Yunus was swallowed by a whale, Ibrahim was thrown in the fire, Muhammad (saw) lost the love of his life Khadijah. Yet look at how it turned out for them in the end. So don’t worry, Allah has a plan for you

Tidak ada kesusahan (atau bala bencana) yang menimpa (seseorang) melainkan dengan izin Allah dan sesiapa yang beriman kepada Allah, Allah akan memimpin hatinya (untuk menerima apa yang telah berlaku itu dengan tenang dan sabar) dan (ingatlah), Allah Maha Mengetahui akan tiap-tiap sesuatu. At-Taghabun ayat 11

Wahai hati, la tahzan.. Allah has better plans for us all InsyaAllah.

20 Hari Lagi

Tik tok! Tik tok! The counter shows only 20 more days before I end my TSAHM period. How time really flies (when I'm having fun)! If you ask, I'd rather stay home like I do now. But, life goes on. Harap-harap apa jua yang mendatang akan ditempuhi dengan penuh kebahagiaan.

That, also contibutes kepada kemalasan untuk menulis blog. I keep thinking on how kesian to leave the kids. On how sad it's going to be not being able to do home-tuition anymore. On not being able to do so many things together with the children. But, alhamdulillah, we mothers can make easy pahala actually. Stay at home and mind your children and house-affairs - dapat pahala. Kerja membantu ekonomi rumahtangga - dapat pahala. Bapaknya pulak dah sah-sah kena cari nafkah kan.

Sebenarnya, usul untuk hantar resignation letter tu memang dah dibentangkan. Setelah ditimbang-timbangkan, dikira-kira, direnung-renung.. keputusan diambil ialah Kak Mon harus kembali bekerja. Sementelah, alhamdulillah objektif percutian (eh, macam bercuti naik kapal la pulak bunyinya!) hampir tercapai. Tho I think I could've done more. (FYI at times my middle name is Procrastinate) Anak-anak? Setakat ni masing-masing buat muka masam bila tahu Ummi akan kembali bekerja. Iman tanya 'Oh, nanti Ummi balik malam lagi lah ya?' Ya nak, mungkin itu akan terjadi tapi Ummi janji, within my effort Ummi akan cuba balik on time, seboleh-bolehnya. Ummi janji akan tetap tengok homework anak-anak sekelian dan belajar sama-sama dengan kalian walaupun masanya akan jauh lebih singkat berbanding sekarang.

Ya Allah, sebagaimana Engkau permudahkan transitionku dari bekerja kepada TSAHM, maka mohon Engkau permudahkan juga transitionku dari TSAHM kepada bekerja. Permudahkanlah keadaan terutamanya bagi anak-anakku yang amat dikasihi.

*sob*

Adam is T.H.R.E.E

Today Adam turns 3. How time flies. Macam baru je rasa terkejut sebab terpregnant heh heh. Now the baby is 3yo oredi. Sungguh banyak kerenah and aktiviti dia sampai rasa everyday ada ajer my blood goes upstairs hu hu.

Kami takde buat apa-apa celebration pun today. Semua orang pun sibuk dari pagi sampai ke malam. Adam pun sama sibuk jugak, sibuk dan menyibuk. Orang sibuk bersiap nak ke sekolah, dialah orang paling kecoh cari bag, pakai kasut etc. Orang sibuk masak kat dapur, dialah yang paling kecoh memunggah periuk, senduk, sudip. Not to forgetting to mention, tukang tambah gula, garam etc sampai pernah kena buang nasi goreng sebab dia pi tabur garam.

Hadiah pun kami tak beli untuk dia. Pasal apa? Pasal every week dia memang pulun beli ultraman. Segala suku sakat dia dah beli. Yang paling bahayanya, koleksi dia masih belum lengkap! Besar kemungkinan dia akan terus menge-pow abahnya heh heh.

Apapun, walaupun kelahiran dia tak dirancang, walaupun kadang-kadang penat emosi dibuatnya, Adam tetap menceriakan hidup kami dengan keletahnya.

Happy 3rd Birthday Adam. We love you. Jangan nakal-nakallll!!

:: Entry terkejut sebab terpregnant back in 2007, baca di sini.
:: Kisah kelahiran si Adam, baca di sini. Sungguhpun si Adam baby paling berat (3.74kg) ai pernah beranak, pengalaman di bilik bersalin tak se ngeri bersalinkan si Iman, baby ai paling ringan (3.3kg).
:: Cerita 1st birthdaynya di sini, dan yang 2nd nya di sini.
