N.E.V.E.R.

Me, sitting in Ahmad's mom's living room, watching The Mexican on TV2, while trying out my new lappy and new Maxis broadband modem, right now, crying my eyes out.

The boys fast asleep. Ahmad is out as usual.

The scene just now; Sam (Julia Roberts) and LeRoy as well as Sam with Jerry (Brat Pitt (woot woot!!!))...

Scene 1: While sitting at the curb waiting for Jerry (Sam's boyfriend), LeRoy asked Sam a question.

LeRoy: "When two people who are so deeply in love with each other, can't stand each other any  more.          
              When is the point where enough is enough?"
Sam:     "Bla bla bla...(run-around answer...)"
LeRoy: "That's not the right answer."

Scene 2: Sam was supposed to board a plane and leave Jerry but she didn't. As she stood at the departure gate, she asked Jerry the same question LeRoy asked her.

Sam:     "When two people who are so deeply in love with each other, can't stand each other any  more.
              When is the point where enough is enough?"
Jerry:    "Never."



I have been like Sam when I wrote this.
I don't know about Ahmad though. What would his answer be if I asked him this?

Have You Ever....

1. Sat down in front of your lappy/PC and feel lost? Just sat there, staring at it, not knowing what the heck are you going to do now?

2. Went to the kitchen or any other place in your house and stopped dead in your track thinking, "Bloody hell, what am I doing here?"

3. Picked up your kids' toys and felt bewildered with the enormity of the chaos they've created?

4. Looked at your (in my case, my MIL's) messy living room and thought, "Argghhhhh!!!!! Not again!!!!!"?

5. Locked up your bedroom door just so that your kids can't bother you?

Me? No. 1 - 4 most of the time.

As for No. 5, I wish our bedroom door HAS keys so I can lock it up. Heheh. 

Counting down to Staying-At-Home-Again

So,

today is Tuesday.

Tomorrow would be Wednesday and the day after tomorrow would be?

Thursday! Yes! Pandai anak Ibu..eh..silap heheh

And finally, the day after the day after the day would be FRIDAY....

I think Friday would be my last day as a working mom :'(

At least I'll be getting my pay by then. 

Weird dreams..

I've been having weird dreams lately.

Weird as in "What the ??"

One was about a girl catching a ghost (of all things) and a few of her friends documenting the event.
Another one was about a spooky dorm, complete with bubbling pools (kolam tadahan air tuu) and doors closing by themselves.
And yet another one was about my primary school, where I was the teacher (this was the first weird dream, minus the 'paranormal' activities in the newer, more recent dreams) and I needed to do some rescuing.  

What's so weird about these dreams?


They all have my friends in them; high school friends and primary school friends.
Not all of them, just a few of my closest friends.

Really weird, especially the paranormal focus of the dreams themselves.

Does anybody know how to decipher dreams?

Anyone?

Thank you..

Thank you 

from the bottom of my heart

for those who has shown concern 

towards my predicament.

Your thoughts and well wishes are deeply appreciated.
I haven't given up.
I will still try to convince him to let me keep working.

Pray for me.

Breaking News from The World of The Drama Queen

This is the latest news.

The Lord of The Household has spoken.

The Queen will have to resign from her current position and

reclaim the throne of household chores.

The Queen tried to negotiate but her pleas fell on deaf ears (and zipped lips).

It was alleged that a few bribe offers were extended by the Queen

but was vetoed by The Lord of The Household.

Further negotiation (followed by expertly planted kisses)

has resulted in an extension period for the Queen's

working days.

As of next month, the Queen will once again be wielding the Sword of Cleanliness and keeping the sanctity of 

the Kingdom of 107A safe.

It is also rumored that the Queen is plotting mutiny and 

will be seeking outside influences to oppose the

tyranny of the current Lord.

However, this rumor has not been confirmed.

More updates coming soon.

Stay tune.

Pillow talk...

Salam,

Feeling at bit mixed up today.
Had a semi-serious (me; sleepy as hell, him; still wide awake) talk with Ahmad about me working.
While trying to get his hands in my *you-know-what* (18SX!), he said "Takyah pi keja la esok."

Me, with sleep still heavy on my mind, tried to evade his roving hands while trying to wrap my head around his statement. All I could come up with was a lame "Awat plak?"

He replied that a friend had offered him a job, thus I have to stay at home to look after the boys.
Me, in my head, "LIKE HELL!" coz I know how he is. He'll work with that friend for a month or so and then he'll quit. Why? Because that's just how he is. Ahmad is like a child when it comes to working. He can never stick to just one job for very long. His attention span is very short in terms of job interest.

However, he is skilled in all the jobs he's been involved in. He's like a Jack-of-All-Trade, seriously! He can drive a lorry/trailer, knows how to weld, knows a little bit about carpentry, can fix his own car/motorcycle (well, minor ones at least) and he is a good businessman (in the 3 brief years we dabbled in selling 2nd-hand clothes in night markets). 

Plus I think I've started to like working here even though the pay is small. The workload is manageable (at times non-existent) and I get along well with my co-workers. I've also learned a few useful tricks regarding photocopying and using the fax machine, tricks I wouldn't know if I had only stayed at home.

Ahmad hadn't actually given an ultimatum but from what he said last night and his response this morning when I kissed him before coming to work; he really don't want me working. I'm not sure how to tackle this new dilemma but I managed to placate him by telling him I'll quit at the end of the month (NOOOOO!!!!!)

I'm sure he's sulking right now or he will be when I get back this evening. When I woke up this morning for sahur (3 more days to ganti all my puasa heh), he woke up as well and said "Takyah pi keja ari ni.." before turning over and going back to sleep.

*sigh*

Any advice?     

Ermmm...

While waiting searching for ideas for the [iPad MySuperKids] contest, I visited some of the other contestants' entries, to steal get an idea of what I should write about for the contest. My conclusion? WOW..seriously!

I love quite a few of them for the simplicity of their entry, for the sheer novel approach to posting an entry as well as for their creativity.

Well, there goes my chance of ever winning this contest coz I'm neither creative nor have a good entry (hhuhuhu).
I would really love to be able to write as well as some of these bloggers.
I do notice something while blog-hopping; most of them use very 'loose' writing styles, whereby they wrote their entries with street-style language, be it in Malay or English. Some even mix English & Malay while writing.

I wish I could be that loose.

I've always been so strict with myself except for the times when I wrote about things I hate or when I just don't give a d*#n about what I write about.

*sigh*

Ok, ok...this is a crappy entry, I know. I wanted to write something meaningful but as usual, my brain is not cooperating with me. So what else is new, right? Heh. 

Senseless loss..

As oppose to the [iPad MySuperkids] Cabaran #1, where the theme is BIRTH,
today I read about death......

2 senseless loss of the most precious gift ever for humanity:

:'(

[iPad MySuperKids] Cabaran #1. Group F - Kelahiran Seorang Peniaga Tanpa Modal -

Salam all..

Since my name appeared twice in the iPad contest organized by MommyLyna
I am sending another entry, this time for Group F.

As many of you may already know, I am financially incompetent. As a stay-at-home-mom (was, since I am currently employed, YAY! alhamdulillah) I tried so many things to help improve my family's financial standing.
I advertized as a translator and editor, a side-business which have been quite helpful in terms of providing me with extra cash. However, I needed to do more in order to provide my boys with a better life-style.

So, I joined Mommy Lyna's business as a reseller for Bling Buubies Nursing Kurung.

I kept up with the latest offer at the website and even posted pictures in my Facebook page.

So far, I have had quite a few inquiries but no buys.

No problem, I will not give up.
I will still promote this line of Nursing Kurung because I know one day I'll get a buyer.
And 2 and 3 and 4 and 5.........

Insya ALLAH..more business venture coming up soon. heheh

[iPad MySuperKids] Cabaran #1: Kelahiran @ Birth. Group C - Anis & Ahmad's LOVE Story-

Salam all...

Today is the last day for this contest and I still don't know what to write. *sigh*
I've visited some of the other contestants' entries and WOW! I am so blown away by them all.
As I am currently at the office and we're quite busy with 'office-duties', I can only come up with this entry.

The Birth of:

 - Anis and Ahmad's LOVE Story -

p/s: this entry is totally inspired by the Nora Elena TV series, aired on TV3, I know it's been long over but I have just only recently been hooked into watching it on Tonton.com heheh...

Nora Elena and her had-to-marry-him husband Seth Tan

As we have not finished watching this series, I can only recap the parts that I've watched.

Basically, the story could be based on coincidences (sounds familiar? heh) where Seth Tan did something horrible to Nora and he wanted to repent. She, on the other hand, was traumatized by the incident and had trouble trusting men but didn't know the culprit. Anyway, she did get engaged and was making wedding preparations when she bumped into Seth. Through horrible coincidences (again?!) and bad individuals making terrible accusations, her fiance broke off their engagement, causing Nora's mother to be hospitalized. Due to feeling guilty to Nora (whom he knew all along), Seth offered to marry her instead. She was forced by her mother to go through with the wedding and marry Seth. Which she did with a heavy heart since she still loved her fiance and this was followed by episodes where Seth Tan did everything he could to win her over.

So, having been inspired by this story (*soooo loving Seth Tan's lovey dovey approach!*)
I am going to tell how MY love story with my not-so-lovey-dovey-but-I-love-him-anyway Ahmad
was born! 

Me & Ahmad officially as husband and wife.

We too had started off due to coincidences.
Back when I was in my final year undergrad study, he SMSed me asking to be friends.
When I asked him how he got my number, he said a friend gave it to him.
I didn't know that friend then but he is now a part of us.

As days go by, we got closer and finally met on 7th June 2002.
(How was I able to remember this date till now? Coz I wrote it in my special SMS diary heh)
I have a SMS diary? Haha..inspired by my roommate who wrote down every SMS she ever received from her boyfriend.

I am consciously aware that I am no where near as beautiful as Nora Elena, not even in the same zipcode.
  On that historical day (to me at least <3) we only spent 2 hours together,
even then we didn't say anything much.
After Ahmad & I returned home from our date?/meeting? he SMSed me late that night.

During the long silence between the hours after our first meeting to the time he SMSed me,
I had already concluded that he had written me off after seeing how 'plump' I was (err..am).
I awkwardly replied his SMSes while trying to maintain my dignity as I have already decided that he was just being nice to me, for still contacting me even after seeing my size.

He finally caught on my nonchalant replies and asked me why.

Me: "Ingat kut diam dari td sbb dah tak nak kawan dgn adik sbb adik ni gemuk"

Ahmad: "Laa..manada..abg tidoq la td, letih drive lori"

Me: "Oh..ok"

Ahmad: "Awat? Abg tak pandang saiz la..abg kawan dgn adik sbb adik baik hehe"

 
There are more cute SMSes such as this one.

The best one yet came 4 month later where he wrote this:
1 4 3
sent to me at 4.53am almost 9 years ago.

Me, being so innocent and naive in the game of love
(believe it or not, Ahmad was my first boyfriend & I pray he will be my only husband till the day I die)
didn't know what the numbers meant. I asked him about it but he told me to find out on my own.
From my roommate, while we were getting ready to attend lectures that morning, I found out that it meant

I LOVE YOU

Imagine me smiling all day long that day. Haha.

You may not know it from just meeting him since he is so quite
but his SMSes were (were is the operative word here since he no longer write me SMS like these huhuhu)
so loving and tender that I am glad I wrote down ALL! the SMSes he ever sent me.

He may not be as romantic as Seth Tan.
But he is loving enough for me.

There you go ladies & gentlemen, my long narrative for this contest entry.

Hopefully my jury is the lovey-dovey type and like my entry, hehe.

The iPad 2 contest is baaaaackkkkk..!!!

Aiyooohhh...

Thanks to Kinna, my 'group-mate' in the above challenge for informing me and a few other group members. Looks like I need to write an entry about BIRTH. This word can be creatively (CREATIVE being the operative word here people!) interpreted by contestants and entries will be judged by a jury appointed to each group as well as by some other 'hidden juries'.

Hmmm..

Birth...

Birth...

Erm....


Can I get back to this later?

Writer's block dude..hehehe..
