Kisah bile saya dan keluarga saya tinggal di rumah ibu saya

About staying at my mum's house

Yes, it has been almost three months since our little family (hubby, me and little emir) "moved" to my mum house. The idea came in one afternoon when I asked my hubby was it possible to stay a month at my mum's house during Ramadhan and out of sudden, he agreed with the idea.

For the first week travelling from Ampang to Damansara, we have been mentally tortured by the heavy traffic and of cos, the fuel cost. Hubby has persuaded me to move back to our house on the second week of puasa but I keep it silence and mum.

Honestly, the reason was, sahur!! I dont mind rushing back home and cooked for mr. Husband but yeah, I do mind waking up a bit earlier in the wee hour of morning for sahur especially thinking that I have to clean up all the mess and even worst, kesabaran membangunkan laki aku sendiri. Patient is a must, if not he will scream at me even though I have tried to wake him up for almost an hour.

And for some reasons, we are still there in Kemensah. We missed to invite our relatives and friends to come over to our house for Hari Raya and this is FAQ

"kenape duduk rumah mama"

.. and I have only one simple answer

"saje.. best, tidur senang, makan senang, gaduh pun kurang"

Why? If I am at home, I do need some help from my husband. I can easily become irritated seeing him sleeping, reading the newspaper, repairing his camera or glued in front of the computer while I am cooking. He could help mandikan emir ke, kemas sikit-sikit ke, basuh baju or anything yang boleh lembuktkan hati but err...

Emir on the other hand, he needs someone to play with him and mr. husband, once he is at "work", he cannot be "touched". If I requested for extra hands, I have to wait for another extra extra minutes / hours which resulted me getting annoyed and membebel and this is where the good day ends..

and this is definitely unnecessary stress..

But here at my mum's house, I have more ample time. The food is ready, I can cook whereever I feel I like to and the siblings who I can give more "instructions".

But, for some people, they simply say

"eh ape ni, dah ade rumah sendiri pun nak duduk ngan mak"

eh kawan, suke hati la kan. my mother is living in Kl, near to my office and she appreciates a lot better if Im staying with her. She has a friend to talk, more secure since my hubby is around, my son has a lot of "friends" to play with, or in other words SHE DOESNT MIND at all. So please stop questioning with that kind of uncomfortable remarks as if I seorang yang sangat pemalas.

If I seorang yang sangat pemalas pun, whats your problem, my hubby still loves me. Im enjoying myself to the max. and hey, I can cook FAR more better than you or FAR more better than your wife. Im a cooking wife, I dont trust outside food. Kalau makan luar, it is just Im lazy to cook or my hubby tired to listen to my ceramah tak berbayar.

"eh mira, ko ni nak senang jer"

Eh apahal. Semua orang hidup nak senang la, tak de sape nak hidup susah. Kalau boleh semua orang tanak keje tapi duit masuk, tapi rule of thumb tak macam tu. You earn when you work hard. But this one kesenangan yang Allah beri kat i, I have my mum near to me and she will be going somewhere in the next few months and for sure I will will miss miss her a lot. I tak pernah separated with her this far in my entire life. No more nak senang lenang macam ni. In a next few months, I have to do everything on my own. Thinking what to do if my son's sick. Where should I park myself during the weekends and where to put my son when I want to "escape" for my own time.

Maybe you all senang part lain, maybe you dont have to work hard cos the money is already ready for you. You tak payah fikir macam mane nak bayar rumah, macam mane nak bayar kerete. Maid u baik tak buat hal. Semua rezeki masing masing.. and above is my rezeki..

"eh kenape marah sangat ni"

Entah, bengang kot..

"so bile nak balik rumah sendiri"

Entah, tapi rindu jugak. Rindu nak bersilat balik kat rumah tu. Rindu nak buat keje tak henti-henti. Rindu rindu rindu.. Tapi hubby pun relax jer.. Hati dia pun tenang.. Nak nak banyak bukit kat melawati tu :) Tengok la hubby bile dia setuju nak ..... rumah.

"tapi kalau lame you kat rumah mak u, gemuk laa you sebab relax banyak sangat"

Tak jugak, emir dah nakal, tak duduk diam, exercise kat situ jugak la. Anyway, memang i dah gemuk pun, so buat macam mane still gemuk..

"Bile nak diet"

Ni topik lain ni, will update later.. :)

I want to update about Emir's concert,but

1. Mr. Husband has not changed raw picture to jpeg. Well, I dunno how to convert it

So, I will update together with Emir's report card day..

Happy Birthday Cik Yah



Anak yang kelima, dilahirkan pada 5 November 1991 di Klinik Sambhi Kuala Lumpur pada Hari Deepavali. Diberi nama Wan Ainun Bahirah Wan Mohd Salleh. Sekarang sudah berusia 17 tahun.



Sangat teliti, disenangi oleh ramai orang, kecil orangnya dan paling alim di dalam keluarga. :) Tetapi dia juga merupakan yang paling degil sekali. Nampak je kecik. Emir memanggilnya Cik yah memandangkan lame sangat nak set name, last last emir pun ikut jer ape yang didengar. Paling banyak name gelaran. Ainun, Yah, Cik Yah dan Cipot..



Selamat Hari Lahir. Moga buat SPM dengan baik.



Oh ya, Emir makin pandai mengarrange kan sambutan birthday kecil-kecilan. Dia sibuk untuk membuka kotak kek, bukak candles yang masih berbalut dalam plastik. Susun candles di atas kek. Oh ya, dia juga tahu bahawa api hendaklan dibuka oleh orang tua. Emir memberikan lighter itu kepada kami.



Acara meniup sudah tentu pass dekat dia. Banyak sunggug perisa tambahan di atas kek. Tak tau? air liur :p Tapi semua orang kate kek masih sedap. kahkahkah.. :p Semua candles berjaya ditiupkan oleh Emir. Lepas itu, dia secara automatik terus mengeluarkan candles dari kek, diletaknyer ke tepi, dan sibuk nak potong kek. Susah jugak nak tarik pisau pada dia.



Lepas kek dipotong, Emir lah yang mengagihkan-agihkan kek untuk diberikan kepada semua orang. Emir makan dengan enak sekali..

Ya, saya percaya, semua adalah hasil memerhati birthday party yang diadakan di sekolah.

dan ya, anak saya dah besar..

Hal orang

yes, I know, I have my own problems that need my immediate attention. But, this real life story really attracted me and deep inside it touches woman's heart (for those who follows).

Yeah, you get it right. It is the "war" between A*bby and N*orman. Based on the fact and what have been presented in media, I am at A*bby' side especially during her interview with Melodi. I could see the burden and heartbroken direct from her eyes.

I think I am more comfortable to write this in Bahasa.

Kadangkadang terfikir macam mane laki boleh bertindak sampai tahap tu. Masa nak kawin, kitelah intan dan payung. Banyak orang bagi alasan yang bini tak pandai jage suami which I think it BU**SH**. Bini lawa pun bila niat tu dah ade, semuanya dijadikan alasan.

It hurts bile gaduh laki bini. It even more hurts when it involves "mean" words. (ok, back to English :p) Married life is full of challenge and ups and down. It can easily influence your other personal things such as work and it too can have a big impact on our health. Yes, no smooth sailing. I agree that 5 years adjustment is crucial.

and we are in our 4th year.

Yerp, we argued a lot. but since tidur sebilik, katil satu, bantal pun kongsi.. gaduh tak lame :D And sometimes the funny thing, we didnt talk, tapi bende2 yang jadi rutin akan tetap jadi rutin. Macam hati tengah panas, kalau boleh nak "belasah" je laki aku ni, tapi bile turun kete, still salam-salam, cium-cium (wekkk).

Always in my prayer, I pray for the best for us here and thereafter. But, if his heart has switch to someone else, and I have to share my love, I just hope he will tell me the truth. No doubt he has the right to do so.

Tapi kan bang, kite ni cantik per. badan je besar..kehkehkeh.. Speaking of badan yang besar, just for my record, im trying hard rite now to reduce my foods. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Emir zaman muda muda dulu

at 4.37 am

I am writing this post when the clock is ticking 438 am. Yes, everyone is sleeping, it just me alone sitting in front of the computer. Yes, I am sleepy too but the temptation to write is even deeper. Actually, Emir woke me up as he wanted his milk.

Emir is already two years old. Time flies. Now he has his own character. He started to show what he likes. One thing for sure, at his age, he is very well versed with computer. I was surprised when he knows how to use the touch pad, I mean how to click and move the cursor. Plus, he knows how to log on to the computer. One day, my dad laughed his heart out when he saw Emir woke up in the morning and straight away sitting in front of the laptop. He was imitating his father, lying in front of the notebook and his fingers touched the keyboard.

And Emir is very very loud and bising. His recent development is pretending holding the mic and gosh he sings!! - Be it a pencil, bed frame or a remote. Im not sure where he gets to know about mic cos I have never been to any karaoke before. I think it must be from his school as his school concert will be held on 8 November 2008 (Note: Baba, block your date ya). My sister has recorded his voice but unfortunately this notebook's bluetooth is not functioning anymore.

One reason I rarely watched TV is because of Emir. Guess what, all his programs schedule (Playhouse Disney and Ceria) stuck in my head. Even worst, I can memorize every songs too and it keeps playing everywhere I go. Like "Once a year, theres a very special day...", "bagaimana nak jadi anak yang baik.." "somebody comes and play today ..." "kamilah geng, geng, geng bas sekolah"..

One thing I should be proud of my son is, he really sayang Ibu and very defensive on Ibu's stuff. He will give me a hug whenever I feel miserable. I once cried in front of him, and out of sudden, he hugged me. If his papa kacau Ibu, he will"puk" his papa and will say "Puk papa". Note: Puk = pukul. If anyone touch my handbag, spec, he will quickly grab the stuff and say "Ni abu nyer". And even though I have scolded him, he will still come to me to calm him.

I agree he is manja baby. Being the only son and grandson, of course he deserves it. well, of cos we are planning to get another child. Dah lame dah, tapi tak de rezeki lagi. I once has disciplined myself to take folic acid for three months before but at the end of the day, the result was negative. I was very depressed at that time. But I do agree we are not really put much effort on it. Now I believe in one step at a time. Ape stepnya, losing my weight.. I strongly feel that my weight is the barrier.. :) So 1 November here I come..

My Best Friend Wedding







Iryani is a best friend of mine during my secondary school. I was alone when I first step into Melaw*ati as I came from Amp*ang. She was seated next to me and we were good friends till then. That time, I was still living in Amp*ang J*ya and her house became my second house.



But after Form 3, we went to separate ways, she has moved to JB n I continued my Form 4 at J*asin. And we still contacted each other, I went to Johor once to meet her (ok ok, not her, Mr. Husband, rumah dia jadi tempat tido).




And now,she is back to KL, the same house and we often meet to chitchatting. And last Sunday, was her BiG day with Farid. Am soo happy to see my closest friend end her single life with a broad broad smile. She was smiling all the way. And my oh my, I really adore her makeup, her hantaran (specially made by the mother) and the baju as well. Gosh, it seems that I like everything on her on that day.



Dengan bukan satu, bukan dua, tetapi TIGA :p kali akad, Nur Iryani Mohd Nor selamat menjadi isteri kepada Farid. Mase tu tak de camera man pun snap gambar Yani buat muke, I gelak habis ok.. Semoga bahagia ke anak cucu. More pictures dekat Emran nyer Flickr (ada high resolution) atau terus main slideshow die and Facebook Emran yer..

Emir @ 2 years 4 months

I think it has been quite a while I ignored Emir's development in this blog. Emir, every single steps that you take, and every single word that you say, I always keep that in my mind. Sometimes, when I feel tired and depressed about certain things, I will capture your face in the air, with your warm broad cheeky smile. It just that recently, I swim into this sales blog and Ibu allocate more times on the net to do some marketing.

2 years 4 months. Cepatnyer. From small tiny little bean, now you are 12kg (as of last week). You hurt your papa's hard drive but you give smile to every faces in Kemensah Heights. Let me summarize his progress:-



1. He loves to eat, sebijik macam parents dia.. This picture was taken when he insists to eat the whole Big*Mac

2. More words, more vocabs but still catching up.. Kalau ambik barang dia "Its mine", Nampak Citra "Papa's car", Nampak Ria "Mama's Car", Kalau jatuh "Emir Aak", Kalau gatal "Nyamuk gigit", Kalau tanye Emir nak pergi sekolah tak, he will answer "No, stay with Ibu".. But he tries to speak more, then all the German language will come out heheh..



3. Makin nakal, tak boleh tinggal sikit pun. Kalau tak habis!! he is restless, but quite in action, so it even more dangeroues for us kan :) He climbs, panjat tangge sendiri naik atas, already quite a norm tu us.. jumping here and there pun same.. anyhow.. I like



4. He is now know how to socialize with his peers. Ini adalah berkat duduk nursery.

5. Bile tanye Emir nak baby? He will say "Noo" but if I asked,Emir nak friend , then he will nod his head.. So how how :0

6. He is sooooooooo into me which I am proud and geram at the same time. Nak basuh po-po pun nak ibu, nak mandi nak ibu, bangun tidor nak ibu, nak main ngan ibu, nak main komputer pun suruh ibu.. sonok laa papa dia..

7. Computer freak, several occasion Hubby and Emir bergaduh.. Im telling you, both of them are total kids especially yang paling tua tu. Dua dua keras kepala and tanak beralah.. So end up, usually the father will scream at me to pick him up (time ni selalu ibu bengang laa). Emir knows how to switch off/on the comp and pasang cabel semua ok..

8. and still a BIG fan of POCOYO!!

cukup lah kan.. I love you Emir.. dunno how my life gonna be without you

Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2008 - Part 2

Raya at Malacca. To me, it was great, even though we were not fit as usual. Emir - big applause to him. Well behaved but of course nangis sikit-sikit tu halal la..

We reached Malacca around 10pm on the second day of Hari Raya. All my inlaws had arrived as I could see the rows of cars outside the house. Nieces and nephews were playing and watching the cartoons. SILs were bz chit chatting and the BILs were doing their own work (heheh typical man). Oklah kasi up sikit - entertaining the kids :p (one of my BIL is an avid reader of this blog).

and my MIL was cleaning the room. Honestly, I asked my hubby to call my MIL so that my MIL can booked the room for us not to ask her to clean up the room. So guilty, but at the same time my body was not encouraging.

Emir took one day to warm up with his cousins. He enjoy the company of his cousins although most of the time I have to be beside him.



Taken of the third of Hari Raya. See, Emir was not in his baju Melayu, he refused to change. Luckily at that time, he already worn green shirt, ala ala matching jugak lah..



Gambar wajib.

*************************************************************



---See sebab sakit, tudung i pun belasah je color ape :)---

My Raya.. seriously it is one of the stressed Hari Raya for me. On the first day of Hari Raya, me, hubby, Emir, my dad were down with fever but i think I was the worst. I was on the bed most of the day and even I didnt bersalam-salaman with my relatives as I was too weak to get off from the bed. Rase bersalah habis, orang datang rumah, I kurung dalam bilik.



Emir, I just leave him with my dear hubby. I remember, after the photo session, dah tak terdaya dah nak pandang kiri kanan. Not even to touch the rendang. I promised my dad for BBQ and my mum for Rendang ayam, but unfortunately, I just managed to marinade the beef and leave it to my mum's maid. Sedey sedey..



The next day, Emir was quite week, he refused to eat and rejected milk. He didn't talk and isolate himself from playing and disturbing his aunties. He vomitted few times. Called his paed but she was already on leave and we have to rely on locum.



But, on second hari raya, we went ahead to Malacca, picture will be posted later. Ku gagahi jugak beraya sakan, but i dint eat much (especially when someone snap my picture with unvolunteered post and showed it to his family). Emir, kejap ok kejap tak, luckily i have my SIL and BIL around.



Emir continued to show the discomfortness. The first meal for him is bubur ayam mcD on last Sunday. He was quiet playful only on Sunday. And last Monday, I brought him to meet his paed. Kene amik darah, Alhamdulillah no sign of dengue symptom except his blood is effected by this bacteria. Me, alhamdulillah recovering and hubby, he is still batuk-batuk..

and I guess, only ths weekend, I will know what will my Raya be..

and... seriously i dah sangat sangat bosan with my work..

Raya





Pictures above were taken during Emir's First year Hari Raya and Second year Hari Raya. Same position, same person, nothing big change for Papa and Ibu but Emir.. how time flies. I remember on his first year of Hari Raya, he was a bit cranky, second year of hari raya, he already knows how to walk and we can easily calmed him by asking Emir to look at Ayam, Ikan, Kucing, etc

This year, we are planning to move a lot, visit more relatives, and not to miss good foods. I promised after hari raya I will try my best to cut my meals and to achieve xxkg by the end of this year. I know my hubby will laugh at me..

Hari Raya is the same word but different definition in terms of how we celebrate it. When I was first time celebrated it with my in laws, terkejut sebab takyah sibuk2 dekat dapur since my MIL only bought and ordered the foods. Unlike my mum, my oh my, masak tak berenti-renti sampai penat jugak lah. Lagi ramai orang datang lagi banyak masak and she will scold me if I served my guest with only kuih raya. But this year, my mum a bit merajuk cos my dad cut down her pandan leaves. She told me she just want to cook Nasi tomato and kuah kacang, To that, i will cook the Rendang ayam.

Next, in terms of visiting our relatives. With my in laws we can visit at least 7 houses per day. Banyak tu. with my mum, 2 houses dah great achievement!! So what hubby and I will do, we will follow them in separate car, keh keh keh. Tak larat woo, my mum is type of person if u go to any house, we have to clean up the table and wash the plates and usually we (my siblings) always argue especially who is going to wash. haha. But now, since my dad is not that fit anymore, he will ask my hubby to drive the car.

I guess these two are the most significant different that I can encounter. But the similarity between my family and my in laws - we eat a lot and we dont mind to eat again and again. Tak yah malu malu.

Anyway, I promised to myself if i get promoted, I will buy something for my son. Here it goes, I bought a bicycle for him yesterday and he was really really excited. Makan basikal , tidur basikal.
