The unputdownables

I bought these books years ago and I still havent gotten round to reading even one of them. Well, Chinese New Year holiday is looming ahead. I might have time to read the first series.

 Love this quotation!!!

2014 Recapped

       2014 has been a bittersweet year for me, my family and for my beloved nation. In January I had a miscarriage. The pregnancy was unexpected but I was over the moon. Beloved and the children were beside themselves. However, it was not meant to be. The whole ordeal was painful and it drained me physically and mentally. I cried for many, many days. Even now, I still grieve. Enough said..

          2014 also marked the year that my children are growing up.  It dawned on me that they will be flying from their nest soon. Hence this story.... Hazim was offered to continue his studies in MRSM Merbok. Upon getting the text from MARA, I felt this inner peace settling over me. He would be in good hands now. All praises to Allah. You cant help but have high expectations on your firstborn. You will do well, Ajim...

        2014 also was a big year for my little muffin, Nina. She sat for her UPSR. She had been blessed with dedicated school teachers and experienced tuition teachers. Through her hard work as well, she managed to score 5As. All thanks to Allah. I reckon I aged a few years the day she obtained her results. It was nerve wrecking. I wouldnt want to go through it again but I know I have to. Wafi will be facing his UPSR in the next few years.

       2014 was also the year that beloved had a harsh wake up call. For a few months, he suffered this excruciating pain on his kidney. The symptoms were there. I begged him to go and have a check up. Being a typical Malay man, he brushed it off assuring me that it was not something serious. Well, it was... serious I mean. When we went to Metro Hospital, the doctor confirmed it was gall bladder.  He had to undergo a surgery. Alhamdulillah he is alright now..Before he was discharged, we had a long talk with the nutritionist. The list of food to be avoided is so long...I doubt whether beloved can faithfully stick to the recommended diet. I was pleasantly surprised though. Until today, he is making the effort to change his lifestyle. Bravissimo!!

      2014 was the year that 2 Malaysian airplanes went down.... Ahhhh... the grief, the sorrow and these feelings of despair rocked my beloved nation. I didnt have anybody i know in the airplanes but it still left me feeling sad and bewildered.. My prayers for all the victims and my heartfelt condolences to victims' families and friends.

     So, that's it. I have let it all out. I feel better now..

I'm back!!

After a long hiatus, I am ready to write again....

Overprotective

It's only right for a mother to want to protect her children from any heartache, from any harm or from any pain, be it physical or emotional. These last few days have been a trying time for me. Listening to Nina's account on how her best friend refuse to talk to her just makes me sad. I know that I need to take a step back and let her figure out what to do next. If I keep on meddling in all her affairs I will only bring more harm than good. However, it's easier said than done. Hope she will be able to go through this obstacle with her dignity intact and her head held high. Amin...

KL Shopping Trip

Rasa-rasanya inilah pertama kali saya dan family shopping raya di KL. Selalunya bila saya berkursus di KL, SOGO lah tempat kegemaran saya. Satu, sebab handbag di sana memang banyak pilihan. Lepas tu, dekat dengan Jln TAR. Heaven!! Minggu lepas, rombongan Cik Kiah telah menggemparkan KL. He..he..he..Wafi, kakak dan abangnya memang menunggu-nunggu KL trip ni. Penat dan letih, tolak belakang! Janji boleh jalan-jalan. Jem di Highway masa nak bertolak ke KL. Rasa macam nak tercabut pinggang sebab perjalanan yang sepatutnya mengambil masa 4-5 jam jadi 8 jam. Tapi yang paling penting objektif trip ni telah tercapai:

Isn't it cute

• Baju raya anak-anak dapat dibeli dengan jayanya
• Ummi depa dapat beli handbag
• Abah depa dapat pergi kedai Superbike dan menjamu mata
• Abah depa juga dapat beli baju raya

Vote Swing

The title above does not have anything to do with politics! I am not going to write about our country' political scenario. Let the experts do that. Anyway, the politicians bickering is making me sick to my stomach. So I am going to write about the radio station which is garnering popularity day by day. Red FM Breakfast Show is my new favourite show. Every morning on my way to work, I would usually tune in to Hitz.FM. However, since Sarimah and Lil' Kev were hired as the new DJs for Red FM, I am their biggest fan.  They have this amazing chemistry and I love the way they joke around. It is usually so hilarious!! Goodbye Hitz. FM!! Your Gotcha calls are mean and not funny!! Please come up with a new segment or your listeners would really swing their votes to Red.FM..
