Selamat Hari Jadi ke-10

birthday cake

birthday girl

Hari ni birthday Kakak ke-10. Big One-Owh! Big girl she is now. I now have to prepare myself for the next phase, teens!

We had small celebration last Saturday tho her birthday is today. Al-maklum lah working days ni tak boleh jamin balik rumah cepat kan. On Saturday, we had ample time. Beli cake from Secret Recipe, apa nama tah, tak ingat. The one that has stawberry layer between slices of cakes.

Iman dah order cakes for himself and keeps on asking if November is still along way to go (his birthday is in November) while Adam pulak kept on singing Happy Birthday to You for 2 days kat Kakak dia.

Happy Birthday Kakak. May you have blessed life ahead.

Edisi Terima Kasih

:: Thank you to CMC - for the farewell gifts (and makan-makan-do!)
CMC is my previous office. Lama jugaklah kat sana, since July 2004 sampaiiilahh July 2011. When I first reported duty, I was pregnant with Iman. That time ofis kat Bukit Mahkamah. The in 2005/2006 CMC moved to Menara and later in 2007 we moved again to Annexe. Not taking a year leave into calculation, 6 years I was in CMC. I had 2 GMs and 3 immediate supervisors. In CMC, it was a love-hate situation but let's not dwell on what supposedly be a history by now. I met greats people there, whom later turn to be friends until now.

Thanks for the Ariani. I would not go and buy any Ariani myself! The color is soo me, I'd say. And thank you for that Happy Birthday frame (eventho on my birthday, I am no longer in CMC). Flaming red, sangat matching dengan dinding my cubicle. It now sits proudly on the table. I made sure the date is well visible to everyone hi hi.

:: Thank you Achik - for the souvenirs from China
Achik is my SIL. She was the first Tebby's siblings that I met before we got married. Achik is always kind enough to get every each of us something whenever she goes anywhere. While I might just buy one thing for one family! She went to China and got us these..

:: Thank you my ex GM En Salam - for this kurma Safia Yusuf Taiyoob.
En Salam was my ex GM in CMC. He's the one who approved my one year leave. I am indebted to him as not many bosses are willing to grant such approval. When he asked me if I was to be posted elsewhere, I felt obliged to accept.

Sapa Mau Tolong Kak Mon Cuci Rumah?

my first maid was like this in the beginning.. cergas. pastu cergas jugak cha-alip-but..

I am looking for weekly weekend cleaning-service. Harap-harap ada yang sudi servis sampai area ai. Address ai tu walaupun 'Bandar', pada hakikatnya adalah agak kawasan kampung jua.

So far dah jumpa 2 ajer..
1. http://www.merrymaids.com.my/ - dah hantar email mintak quotation
2. http://www.parttimemaid.com/ - RM250 for 4 kali seminggu, 4 jam sekali datang

Actually I'd prefer bayaran per trip dari yang hourly. Kalau caj for 4 hours, dapat lak yang datang tu lemah gemalai nyer jenis, mau 2 jam baru siap cuci toilet aje kan. Kalau per trip ni, kelentung kelentang la sampai siap. Dengan keadaan my house sekarang, mau depa nangis dulu depan pintu sebelum masuk :D

Anymore other than that 2? Let me know ya. Kalau boleh yang buat ironing sekali. Kalau tak iron pun takpelah. Ai kasi En Dobi kedai kat depan nun ironkan. RM1 selai. Kalau baju sekolah 80sen ajer. Ai know sebab ai dah mula memunggah baju sekolah anak-anak ke kedai tersebut jua :D Ada capping bajet.. maksima RM20 a week. Dalam 20 lai. Ada certain things ai admit ai cerry-wet, this is one of them. Apart from the usual shirts, blouse, baju kurung, pants, ai pun akan meng-iron sluar sukan, tshirt, saputangan dan sebagainya. Kalau kain baju kurung tu, sila jangan main tipu iron belah bawah je, belah atas tak iron. Semua mahu licin okay. Gigih tak gigih, sampai button temperature control iron ai telah tercabut. Tu nasib baik ai dah berenti iron sarung bantal.

Iya, ai admit ai malas nak buat semua tu. I'd rather spend some money outsourcing all those and have more time dengan my family than having to mop, scrub (and nag).

Hidup perlukan pengorbanan kawan. Terserah kepada kita nak korbankan yang mana.

New Office & Iftar 2nd Ramadhan 1432H

As some you of might have known, Kak Mon dah bertukar (rather ditukarkan) ke unit baru. This new unit is among the many units under the same division. I am still doing more-or-less the same scope of work but still meeting and dealing with fimiliar faces, some of whom I've known as far back as 7 years. One or two that I've met on my first day reporting duty (That's 14 years ago!)

my new cubicle. flaming red, still. pretty clear for someone who's been working for 14 years eh?

'virgin'-calculator yang masih berbungkus. i am using veryyyyy much less of it now. no more billions

I am now dealing with HR matters, which makes me getting hundreds of emails each day. It is much simpler and easier than my previous tasks but.. well. Here's the analogy. Previously I need to cook a full spread of nasi minyak. Nasi minyak, with its gulai, sambal and acar, for 10 people. Now, I am trusted to just cook nasi minyak, without its gulai, sambal and acar but for 500 people! Analogy also revolves around food? Pinch me! Thinking back, somehow this is like having my prayers answered, 18 years later! When I did my degree, I got a scholarship from T*. I had wanted to majoring in HR but T* directed me to do majoring in Marketing. When I took a year leave last year, I thought it'd be nice to do HR after I came back. If you ask, I still do not know if I like it here or not. Still too soon to tell. But it is sure not as cold as my office back in Tingkat 14.

Now back to puasa thingy, yesterday, we took off from the office at almost 6.00pm. Fetched the kids, beli mi kat kedai depan nun, sampai rumah at 6.45pm. In the nick of time nak azan Maghrib, barulah siap Mi Goreng and Chicken Wing ala India. Washed down with a pot of Teh O panas and cold apple and orange juice. Simple aje kan.

It is stressful that this year, on 3rd Ramadan, we have came to the point 'tak tau lah nak berbuka dengan apa' - despite all the excitement and plans we had. Maybe it's the age factor (older people eat lesser food? No?) or maybe in all the other months tu, nafsu makan adalah godaan syaitan semata-mata? And now that all the godaans are not here, we are left with just our own nafsu. Kot? This pre-dawn tadi, me and Tebby had roti canai segera, Iman had megi with telur (dari semalam mintak) and Kakak had Mi Sedap. Not good tapi itu ajelah yang membuka selera. Hurmpp.. Hope to see a more vibrant ensemble on my dining table after this.

1st Ramadhan 1432H

Salam Ramadan! Alhamdulillah masih ada rezeki kita berpuasa bulan Ramadan tahun ni. Jom tambah amal ibadat. Jangan culas-culas ber-terawikh. Kalau rasa liat bangun prepare sahur tu, ingat-ingat pahala yang menanti. Uruskan rumahtangga pun ibadat jua..

Unlike the past 2 years, this year takde bibik. Domestic helper, yilek. Means I have to carefully plan and manage my time. And unlike last year, this year I am back working. Means, limited time to spend kelentung-kelentang kat dapur for iftar. And probably very simple sahur as well sebab pas sahur nak bersiap-siap ke ofis pulak. No time to scrub many pots and pans. (I will not leave things dalam sinki before going out, other than 1 or 2 small things like sudu or cawan).

Apalagi la kan, wiken lepas giat betul mengupas, menyiang, memotong, memerap (perap makanan yer, bukan memerap tidoq), memblend, merebus dan sebagainya. Ini semua bagi mengelakkan huru-hara kat rumah nanti. Punyalah bergiat kat dapur, sampai lupa basuh kasut sekolah anak ha ha. En Suami went to Pasar Kajang on Sunday, katanya ramaiii lah sangat orang. As if esok-esok dah takde jual ikan. Cakap orang, we all pun sama heh heh.

I did few thing in prepation untuk seminggu nyer iftar/sahur. Marinate ayam 3 jenis (ala Cina, ala India, ala Melayu <-- i tak racist taw.. memang dalam buku resepi tulih gitu) and one type of beef marinate. Ikan tak perap, just apportioned them into one serving in each bekas. Also potong-potong ayam and daging, ready as perencah nasi or mee goreng.

gigih melabel bagai ha ha

As for sayur, we stock up timun, incase tak sempat masak sayur. Kalau ada masa, we'll do sawi and kailan. Sayur ni pun selalunya maknya aje yang makan (despite all ceramah kepentingan makan sayur :P). En Suami is very selective when it comes to sayur. In fact he is selective of his food. Unlike wifenya yang mengketedarah je apa jua asalkan halal.

Baru je bagitau En Suami that I would not blog so much about food bulan-bulan puasa ni. See.. bad bad me.

Anyway, since Iman is 7 this year, we've been coaxing him to fast. In fact for the last one or two weeks, we've been orientating him on the importance of fasting and what to expect should one fasts. Semalam was his first day. Thank God, Alhamdulillah, getting him up for sahur was easy peasy. Getting him to eat his sahur was also easy peasy. Part yang susah ialah menahan si Adam dari menayang-nayang makanan depan Iman. Semalam, at 11.45am, he succumbed to hunger and break-fast. Boleh lah kot, as a first-timer kan. It could've been much later should Adam tak makan aiskrim keladi depan Iman *sigh*. And today, on the way to Atfal Sayang (taska) he announced 'hari ini saya cuba bertahan' tak boleh tahan ayat si Iman ni hi hi. Gambar bawah ni masa sahur around 5.00am. Gambar lagi bawaaah tu pulak 'buka poser' jam 11.45am :D

Semalam was a very simple iftar of Ikan Bawal Putih Goreng, Snow Pea+Egg Tofu and Mushroom Crisp (cendawan goreng guna tepung tempura, tapi nama cam kelasssss la konon kannnn).

Err... food again? Someone please spank me..
