"Enjoy the little things in life for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things" One of the most common but meaningful line that i guess most of us have come across rite? These are some wonderful quotes that i have pinned on my workstation (complete with a cat picture in it)..*tak abis2 eh* :p These "little things" sure makes a big difference for me. Yesterday some of these "little things" happened which means a lot to me and it is in fact the big things when i think back. These "little things" has healing properties. I feel grateful for these smooth sailing days. For only God knows when the next trying times might be. So for now, i'm just going to enjoy the moment...

Introducing a new member of our family...the kitten used to be known as sweetie (while she was still a stray at mom's place), now i prefer calling her tweety instead. sometimes i call her tweety bird also. apa2 saja lah ako ni :p here she is ready to pounce on hubby's hand late one nite.

Hai cik abang, ni practice dulu ke? :p

And this was Chappee's muka boring on the first day we brought tweety bird home. sampaikan he refuse to look at me when i call him...ish ish ish, dahsyat kan. but now they are getting along just fine and started to play catching already. phew. quite a relief.

Dah 1 week tak update blog. Bukan tak nak update but manyak hal peribadi which are not suitable to be written down here. Anyway alhamdulilah dgn izinNya, i'm still surviving and feelin a little better now. Although things can take a turn for the worse again anytime, but i'm just taking it one day at a time for now. My life has been quite a rollercoaster ride. When its good, its really good, when its bad, it can get really bad too. I worry abt the future, abt a lot of things in fact. but some of these things are beyond my control. But during the most trying moments, terasa amat sangat kebesaran Allah swt, like how so miserable i felt that particular nite and i felt instantly better after pouring my heart out to Him and miraculously things also got better that same nite. Despite all the sins i've been committing, sama ada disengajakan atau tidak, He still helped me instantly when I call out to Him. was a humbling feeling indeed. a feeling i couldn't forget that nite. i yearn for more of that feeling of peace from within. But being this human being with so many flaws in me, sometimes i still end up doing and saying all the wrong things bila dugaan datang..*sigh*

I'm praying for some miracles to happen, i do believe in miracles. but sometimes when i'm at my weakest point, my hope plunges to almost zero and tats when i need a little push from loved ones and dear frens to help me get back up on my feet again. Anyway I don't want to make it seem like as tho i'm suffering some kind of humongous problem or anything like that. I don't want it to seem exaggerated or get dramatic abt it :P But at the same time i also cannot be ignorant abt it. We'll have to think of some solutions to the problems. Preferably long term solutions. If tats not possible, then just berserah pada Nya and hope for the best.

On another note, this few days i'm unable to tag my blog frens, and its so frustrating. something wrong with shoutbox ah. must kena shout already..hehehe

Last but not least Chappee now has a new found "fren". remember the kitty i posted in the earlier entry. Brought it or rather her home last weekend. At first Chappee merajok and i was thinking oh no i just thot he'd feel better having a playmate and he merajok pulak with me. But as days goes by, i'm seeing much improvements now. Phew. They are starting to play with each other altho not too close yet. will try to post some pics of them next week.

Till then have a good weekend everyone :)

Back at work after a 2-day unwanted "holiday" (MC). Monday morning - my sis talked to me in a funny voice, i thot she was trying to be funny (as she sometimes would), but she laughed and told me she had a sore throat, said she got it from one of her students. dah sakit2 pon tak bleh diam, sempat dia sakat kakak dia ni. so i sakat her back lah and told her tu lah ko ni kurang vitamin c lah, gi lah beli some vitamin supplements. that same afternoon my throat started feeling a little perit, by tues morning i was already down with the flu. gi doctor got the usual flu meds and doc also said my blood pressure a bit on the low side. guess thats why i feel lightheaded quite easily. when my sis found out abt it, apa lagi, she said "ah tu lah kurang vitamin c lah tu" kakakakah. kan dah kena balik :p

Last nite ngaji was at my fren's place, even that 3 mins walk to her place made me all thirsty and tired and my hingus asyik nak terkuar je by the time i reached my fren's place. terpaksa tahan hidong ngan tissue, nak buang hingus depan2 org macam tak senonoh pulak kan..hehehe, so i just wipe my nose every now and then when i feel "it" dripping out. after ngaji, makcik tanya "ni sakit2 ni dah ada "ooor" ke?" i was like quite blur, "ooor tu apa cik?" i asked her back sambil mengesat hidong. she looked at my fren and both of them smiled and she asked again dah ada apa2 ke? ler ke situ pulak cik ni..wish i could nod my head and said "yes" but too bad still had to shake my head and just smile and said eh takde lah cik, blom ada lagi...and i could feel blood rushing up to my face then, there i go blushing again. blame it on my mom who said she loved drinking strawberry milk while she was pregnant with me, so i came out all pinkish she said..hehe. altho i'm no longer pinkish now, more to brownish now, but i turn red at almost all situations, angry-turn red, happy-turn red, shy-turn red, geram-turn red, sometimes for no reason at all i turn red. my sis said macam tomato.

Here at work, 2 of our bosses have retired. so i'll be getting new bosses soon. Wonder how's things going to be like when the new boss takes over. only time will tell. hopefully its not as bad as we worry abt.

So fast the weekend is over already. these are some of the things i did last summer, eh i mean weekend :p On saturday after hubby left for work, went to my mom's and then mom, sis and me went to the pet shop at frankel avenue which sells imported exotic cats.. hai sungguh geram sekali tengok kucing2 pat sana...so beautipul, harga pon beautipul jugak..heheh... bought Iam's cat food and vitamin supplement there for chappee. mom bought those round pet cushion for her kucing also. from there we went to afghanistan in tampines, did some mini shopping there and by the time we went back to mom's place was already 4plus. so penat already, feel like having a nap before going for the puberty ceremony in the evening. but since its already 4plus, dah lepas asar kalau tido i'd feel groggy when i wake up so i decided to tahan je lah..hehe. Is tak jadi drive coz she had a date with her dear bf and thus her cik abg will be sending her there..hehehe..its ok lah awak, don't feel bad :) i understand..hehe.

Reached the puberty ceremony function in yishun nearly 8pm...it was so grand and elaborate, looked more like a wedding to me. siap ngan pelamin lagik..hehe. Anyway Is and me didn't stay there for that long, her bf was also waiting for her outside :) suddenly i felt sad tat hubby had to work coz that means i had to go back all alone to mom's place in tampines :(

While in the cab back to tampines, i sms-ed hubby saying how nice it would be if we could meet up a while before he goes for his patrol duty till 4am that nite..didn't expect to be able to meet hubby coz he was allowed to go home for a while je to change etc and had to report back at hq by 11pm. but tidak ku sangka hubby replied back and said we could meet up a while and ask if i mind dropping by cck a while as he couldn't come all the way to tampines due to lack of time. of course i don't mind...hehehe...so i was already on the PIE heading towards tampines when i told the apek teksi that i'm going cck instead..kakakakah. so apek had to U-turn balik. Met hubby at cck and we had a walk at the pasar malam there, was just a short meeting tapi jadi lah kan..

As for sunday, hubby initially planned this and that but i guess he was too tired so he slept thru the day, only woke up a while in the afternoon to have dinner then he went back to sleep. just kemas2 rumah sikit while hubby was still zzzz. Then in the evening after hubby left for his niteshift, went to lot 1 jalan2 pat sana jap, then board the train for tampines, singgah tampines mall jap jalan2 there and did mini shopping before reaching mom's place.

btw there's this cute stray kitten at my mom's place *oh no citer kucing lagik* hehe..mom has been feeding it so it hangs ard in front of my mom's place quite often...kiut betol lah, mom nicknamed her sweetie, she likes to play with my mom's burmese siamese cat. tapi tak padan kecik, so hyper active and playful, and bila playful mood, adoi gurau dia kasar banget sih, tak padan gal..hehe..was thinkin of taking her home buat teman ngan si chappee tu, hmmm..coz previously when i brought chappee over to mom's place, this sweetie actually came over to chappee nak buat kawan, but sadly chappee who is almost triple sweetie's size, is actually afraid of that little kitten and went into hiding..lol.

here's some pics of that little darling kitten and hubby tgh keromos chappee (pic at bit dark tho), he'll always play submissive bila dikeromos and buat muka selamba.

Yay! its friday already :) but too bad this weekend hubby will be working..tomorrow he'd be working the whole day and niteshift on sunday. so tomorrow macam biasa lah gi menyibok pat rumah my mom...nak ajak dia gi kedai kucing..hehehe..hopefully i don't get tempted to get another kitty. Coz lately i've been thinking of getting si chappee busyuk tu a companion. He's been so clingy at times, especially when we're about to leave for work, i have to go thru the same ordeal every morning of having him follow me all around the house, sampai susah nak jalan..nak salin baju pon susah coz he'll be terbongkang and tergolek2 at my feet, kalau terpijak dah satu hal...but when we are at home, he doesn't behave tat way, its only when hubby and me abt to go out, the moment dia nampak kita salin seluar jeans or seluar panjang ke apa, macam dah tahu kita nak keluar gitu, ah start lah dia buat pe'el. maybe tats why hubby said ni kucing bunga, its a boy tapi pe'el tak macho langsung. few weeks back hubby and me brought him gi camping in the pet carrier, after we pitched our tent, we let him out of the carrier, ingatkan nak kasi dia amik angin tepi laut lah kononyer..lol..let him sniff2 the grass ke apa, tukar angin sikit, but guess what, he prefer to hide in the tent the whole nite. lepas tu terngintai2 macam pencuri from celah2 tent to see wats going on outside but when we carried him out, he quickly dash back into the tent and try to hide his face at the corner of the tent..lol. when i singgah my mom's place after bringing him to the vet last mth, he was so desperate to find a hiding spot in my mom's house sampai tak agak2, ada satu bangku cute ni pat bilik air, somehow he managed to squeeze himsef under that small bangku and his body got stuck in the bangku, dah macam camel gitu lah bawak barang on its back. except this one kucing bawak bangku on its back..hehe. i tried to cabut the bangku from his back but failed, panic kejap, luckily my dad came to the rescue and manage to pull the bangku from his back. ok back to the story, alamak saya ni pon tak abis criter pasal si bacin ni..hehe..can't help it lah :p anyway hubby blom kasi green lite to get another kitty, i know he has good reasons for that, tapi takpelah tomorrow just go look2 and see2 first..hehe

after that sebelah petang will be going with Is to one of our hindu colleague's daughter puberty ceremony, first time attending this kind of ceremony..hehe. tempatnyer all the way in yishun plak tu..luckily Is is driving tomorrow and said she'll pick me up. Leh sep sikit tambang. Thanks Is :) As for sunday, hubby said before he goes for his niteshift, maybe we could catch a movie in the afternoon or something. but i was thinking nak ajak hubby gi grocery shopping...coz with him ard i can buy more things coz he can tolong angkatkan barang2 tu :p kalau me alone, terkial2 jugak nak bawak sumer barang2 tu.

itu saje lah criter saya for now. have a good weekend everyone :)

Thursday, June 09, 2005


Received an sms from a good former colleague of mine this morning. She's now in the US coz her hubby is on a 2-yr work attachment there. occasionally we'll sms each other to ask how each other is doing etc. But this morning's sms from her made my heart jumped in excitement...the last part of her sms goes like tis "Btw, aku preg lagi labi!" Omg! If she was beside me, i would have hugged her there and then. Hai labu, productive sungguh ko eh. :p Memories of times with her came back flooding to my mind. We got married around the same time just 3 mths apart, took the same mak andam, got our new house also around the same time, shared our fears, hopes and dreams as we adjusted to marriagehood. We planned to get pregnant around the same time as well if possible, tapi dah rezeki dia, she got pregnant abt 10mths after getting married. I still remember that time it was during the SARS outbreak period, thus we had to take temperature every morning before we could get into our workstation. Her temperature was always high altho she wasn't running a fever so most of the time she couldn't get into the office, and had to sit down outside a while, drink some water and have her temperature re-taken again.

Then one fine morning, i saw her running to the toilet, she said she felt nauseous and had to throw up. My heart skipped a beat, i suspected she was pregnant, accompanied her that afternoon to get the pregnancy test kit at watsons. That nite she sms-ed me with the good news. I had mixed feelings. I felt so happy for her and yet i felt down at the same time. I know with her being pregnant, i'm going to get more of the "now N already pregnant, when's ur turn?" from colleagues. I felt unlucky. I hated myself for feeling that way, but thank God that feeling went off just as quickly as it came. Of course i did get those never-ending dreaded questions but i just make up some excuses, and try not to let those kepo aunties/uncles questions get me down. Each time, she told me she felt her baby kicked, i felt just as excited (mcm saya pulak yg pregnant..kakkakah!), and i looked in awe when she showed me her full pregnant belly then..lol. i remember telling her eh seramnyer coz it looked so rounded and stretched to the max gitu. Then came the sms late one nite that she's having labour pain and going to hospital soon. i felt anxious too. early next morning, got a call from her hubby that she has just given birth to a bouncing baby girl. shared the news with colleagues in the office. went to visit her and her so small fragile looking but cute baby girl. she related to us her labour experience which made my stomach churn. But even tho stomach churning, i still yearn to be able to go thru that beautiful experience one day...

Anyway when i told her i dunno when my turn will be, she had this to say "takpe lah labi ko masih muda, enjoy puas-puas, saper tahu once u got one, u can't stop givin birth!" lol. hai labu, hopefully masin lah mulut ko tu..hehehe..suddenly missed her and her nonsense.

Thanks a zillion to kiccy for helpin me change my blogskin :)) Couldn't have done it without your help :)

I had quite a simple weekend. My mood seems to be fluctuating like nobody's business when i'm at home. ntah lah naper. guess i'm still traumatised abt some things that have happened recently and all that stories i heard. on top of that, my over-imaginative mind likes to work overtime too :p Oh ya manage to snap this pic of chappee in his basket on saturday...one of those rare occasions where he'll rest in his own basket, and he gave me this mischevious look just as i was snapping his pic..hehehe

Then i had nothing better to do, decided to snap a pic of this "masterpiece" at home, wat i did with the unused fishing tank stand :p

Nothing much happened over the weekend, except hubby and me manage to do some jogging yesterday at the park. Jog for 1 round je dah macam nak pengsan so i started walking..but hubby pushed me to jog another round..hehehe..afterwhich i found my face turning all pinkish..lol. Then with our sweaty jogging attire, we went to have my favourite bubble tea drink at Lot 1 and jalan2 there for a while. I was hoping all the jogging would make me sleepy at nite. but still i was still wide awake at 11pm altho i felt tired...geram betol seh bila dah penat tapi susah nak terlelap ni. hubby had some paperwork to do...me decided to keep myself occupied, took out this antic file from the cupboard and pour out everything in that file onto the bed..hehehe...guess wat it is? kad/surat2 cinta time zaman dating dulu lah..kakakakah. was quite entertaining to read those things all over again. some made me laugh, some made smile, some made me sad..hehehe...and i just can't help but keep calling hubby whenever i found some amusing things that we wrote, kesian org tu nak buat paperwork dia pon tak senang. hehehe. but he too had a good laugh abt it.

Workwise, i just made a fool of myself at work today...abis lah nanti kalau boss dapat tahu. Nak tau wat happened. my boss phone rang, i pick up and greeted the caller. then i heard the voice on the other line. it sounded exactly like one of my nottie colleague in the office who always suka menyakat org. Me being so dumb, didn't even check the caller ID to confirm it was him, presumed thats him nak talk to my boss. My boss wasn't around anyway, so i decided to sakat him back coz me banyak kali kena sakat ngan dia gak...so i told him "oh its u ah, i regretted greeting u, anyway boss not around"..the person on the other line (who still sounded exactly like that mischevious colleague of mine) laughed and said "oh ok can i leave a msg for him then?" and silly me still can say "no i don't accept messages from u". The person on the other line started sounding confused and said "u mean now u don't take messages for him already?" and he kept saying hallo..and thats when i realised eh suara dia macam lain sikit lah. I took a peek at the caller ID and i know i'm in deep shit already. I apologised profusely to the caller and told him i mistook him for another staff. He just laughed half heartedly and said oh ok but must be careful lah. I felt sooo stupid!! He said he just called coz he wanted to check if my boss was free some time next week for lunch, i took down his number and tell him i'll pass the msg to my boss. Now if my boss knows wat i did, i'm going to get it. Heeelpppp!! Fadan muka saya *nangis*

I'm in a romantic mood, so pls bear with me. I'm happy & contented. Alhamdulilah. Terubat rindu semalam. Was so in the pengantin basi mood. Literally felt myself glowing when i saw hubby waiting for me at the void deck with arms spread open and a big smile on his face. So much has happened the past few days and i felt so relieved to be in his arms again. I'm no perfect wife, he's no perfect hubby. But whatever it is, yg penting asal kita bahagia sudah lah..... Btw i found tis really sweet poem which i wanna share with everyone :) enjoy reading it :) i think i'll print this poem to share with hubby as well :p

The Art of a Good Marriage -

Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not end
with the honeymoon, it should continue through the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers the whole family.
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice,
but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation
and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience,
understanding and a sense of humor.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow old.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal,
dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only about marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.

I feel relieved today. Past few days hati ni resah, sedih dan bermacam2 perasaan lagi lah..tapi alhamdulilah, more or less its resolved now... Thanks to a wonderful family i have, and great frens who never get tired of giving me words of encouragement. I've made mistakes too and i hope to learn from it. And i miss hubby a lot. did not get to spend much time with him the past 4 days or so. hoping we'll get to make up for the lost time tonite. Dah lama tak rasa rindu mcm ni.

Yesterday, 1 June, marks 10 yrs since that first phone call we had that leads to where we are now. Remembered hubby use to joke then that kononnyer kita ni mcm Romeo and Juliet *kes perasan lah ni* since both our names happen to start from the letters R and J. But its not always a bed of roses, we've had our share of ups and downs..stormy times as well. Hmm..eh naper today i'm sounding so jiwang ni. Takut ada yg menyampah or termuntah plak nanti baca entry jiwang2 ni..lol. aiyoh i also cannot tahan it when i read wat i wrote *hair standing*

Anyway thinking of changing my blogskin soon....with the help of kiccy of course :) suroh buat sendiri nanti lain plak jadinyer..hehehe..so better get the experts to help :)

Lousy. Thats how i feel today. Anyway here's a little something abt me..abt 70% true.

"Your Personality - Path Number 2 (Moon)

You are sensitive, emotional and possess a strong will. You cope well with pressure (ni part tak btol sgt nihh, tgk keadaan and situasi gak), and help others in crisis. You like compromise and prefer to maintain peace. (betot! ish mcm masok bakul angkat sendiri plak :p) Your arguementative nature may cause you problems. (aiyooohhh, terrible ah!)

You are active and dislike laziness. An optimistic and idealist, you always take the positive view in all situations. (hmmmmm..)You are peaceful, affectionate, and faithful to your loved ones. Although you may not get the same loyalty you shower on others, you still desire complete loyalty from your partner. You are a loving person and desire a partner who can love you back with the same depth. (quite true)

You are gentle, imaginative and intuitive, determined and ambitious. You prefer to be independent and dislike taking orders. (tak jugak lah, sometimes dependant and suka amik orders. bleh gitu?) You need guidance and in absence of a proper guide or a partner, you are disturbed. (can't agree more) You are a gifted person but may lack opportunities (me gifted? kelakau tol). This can make you insecure. Have faith on your inner strength, there is nothing impossible for you.

You will be successful in field of technology. Your craze is to expand your job or business opportunity abroad. (ni lagik kelakau)

Your dreams are high and you will achieve them with the present set up of your stars and will. (iye ke?) You are trying to come out of the restricted atmosphere to attain your goal of trading connected to foreign countries. (ntah apa merepek pulak ni, tak paham) You are strong and balanced within though over-emotional at times.

Your success is not far, wait for an opportunity (ok i wait long long). Success always depend on good chances, when you get them, sky will be your limit. (ah iye lah tu)"
