It has been quite some time since my last obsession. What was it anyway?
secret recipe’s choc mud cake?
manhattan’s fish n chips? dave's deli's combo pasta meal?
harlequin’s novel?
ghost writers’ novel?
or was it Judith McNaught's?
the list goes on…
the answer is, all above. some still and continuously become an obsession. sometimes I wonder why people so crazy about akademi fantasia, kru, ct nurhaliza or mawi. Bukan setakat they watch their concert but they also talk about it on the net. It seems soo membazir buy their cds, follow their concerts, collect their merchandise as if they are ‘dewa’ or something.
but, when I think and think again, hey I’m one of them. though my obsession is different from them. I remember become so obsess with certain romantic movie like Gone With The Wind, couldn’t get it out of my system for quite some time during my teenage years. After watching the movie on tv, I went searching for the vcd, padahal kat rumah takde vcd player pun at that time. I thought why not buy it and keep until I can afford to buy the player, only to realize later that I couldn’t even afford to buy the vcd! so pathetic! it was expensive for me, yelah duit belanja sekolah pun berapa sen sangat. huhu frust, tapi I found the novel kat popular book store, walaupun dah buruk skit tapi beli jugak. uhhh teruk gak aku punya obsesi ye?
obsesi terkini? yeah… Princess Hours or famously dubbed as Goong, it’s a Korean telenovela. Alah kekadang rasa bodoh je, hello you are a big girl now; there’s no space for benda2 macam ni lagi tau. But I just couldn’t help it. I come across this mini series by accident and immediately it become a hit with me. Everyday rasa berkobar2 nak duduk tercongok depan tv tunggu siri ni start 8.30pm on 8tv. kalau boleh nak skip dinner, sampai hubby pun naik menyampah tengok my obsession. hubby kata “tu lah masa time abang dulu, sayang bising… sekarang ni baru tau” heheh dia giler tengok Initial D, I kutuk kata macam budak kecik. Alah dulu pun kita sama2 giler tengok citer Jewel In The Palace kan? :)
back to princess hours. siri ni pun dah dekat nak habis, tinggal lagi a few episode je lagi, minggu depan habis lah kot. Suka setting background citer ni kat dalam istana, konon2nya korea masih ada raja lah, walhal system beraja dah lupus sejak WWII during Japanese occupation. Suka tengok watak2 remaja penuh emosi, pushed into adults world due to responsibility inherited, suka tengok costume dia yang seems to be inspired by french zaman mary antoinette kot. one more thing i realised that memang fashion and interior korean hotels nampak mcm style deco french aja. pastu actors dia cute, kelakar. it’s a romantic comedy based on a comic book. wow! dahsyat orang korea, citer komik boleh diangkat jadik telenovela yang hit. apsal orang mesia tak cenggitu?
suka tengok dua watak yang suka bergaduh without they realize that they have actually fallen in love with each other. kelakar dengan watak chae-kyung yang macam tomboy & kanak2 ribena opposed to watak shin yang berlagak, sombong, ego yet lonely. aaahhh tapi dah hujung2 ni banyak scene sedih… huwaaaa aku pun sama nak ikut nangis. apsal emo sangat nih… teruklah mama yaya nih…kekek
now, tengah sibuk cari on the net kat mana nak carik dvd dia… heheh mentang2lah dah ada dvd player. malam tadi watch a few episodes kat youtube.com. dapatlah peek last episode dia, tapi tu pun video dia tersekat2. nanti nak download wallpaper plak. ahhh crazy!
macam2 jugak kegilaan aku ye? takpelah just for this one. after this no more...
jantan terhangat di pasaran? siapa lagi klu bukan si getik fahmi. being the only cucu lelaki he was conferred the title "jantan terhangat" by my adik beradik. first cucu was a girl, farah. fahmi the second cucu, then came yaya & nana two more cucu girl for atok & nenek (my parents). my sister wanted to have a baby boy, but last year in february, she gave birth to the 2nd daughter for her and makes a total of 4 girl cucu to my parents. surrounded by all girls, fahmi jadi cucu kesayangan atok & nenek, not to mention kesayangan pak ngah (my brother) also. lagu 'jantan terhangat di pasaran" by kru tengah hot at the time fahmi was born.so when ros (my sil) got pregnant the 2nd time (actually 4th for her coz she already have 3 surviving kids, 2 from previous marriage), pak ngah was hoping for a boy. to tell the truth i'm actually berdebar2 juga tunggu whether it's going to be a girl or a boy. finally on monday 12 march 2007, a baby boy wieghed 3.75kg was born. Alhamdulillah & wow!2 title fahmi lupus serta merta. pertama, lupus lah title jantan terhangat di pasaran for fahmi because dia dah ada geng. hubby said habislah lepas ni fahmi dah tak jadi cucu kesayangan. well, i think we have enough love for everybody, i love my kids, all my nieces & nephews (pak ngah's son is not my only nephew, he has one anak tiri lelaki & my sis pun ada one anak tiri lelaki). regardless of whether budak2 ni anak kandung my adik beradik or anak tiri, my arms are always open for more hugs and kisses for them.kedua, fahmi was born as a chubby baby, weighed at 3.46kg belum pernah ada cucu2 atok & nenek yang lahir seberat dia. walaupun me & my siblings lahir 3 pointer above but paling berat pun around 3.25kg je. at 3 months fahmi was reaching his 6kgs, by 10mths he was already 10kgs, sampaikan my family called him "setoko". we thought 3.46kg tu rekod baby paling berat pernah lahir dalam my family. we never thought that mak ngah yang slim melim tu boleh give birth to a 3.75kg baby last monday! normal delivery plak tu. salute to my sil.i'm sure pak ngah is over the moon with the baby boy. fahmi pulak he never get to see the baby yesterday ( i took leave and went back to my mom's house yesterday) coz i left him with bibik masa pergi visit mak ngah. now, uhhh... kena carik hadiah baby plak...
yesterday, hubby got the news that his best buddy sejak kecil warded since last wednesday. he got dengue. so, after asar prayer, all of us went to sjmc. teruk juga kawan dia, blood count very low.
right after the visit we dropped by at subang parade, rumah no. 2 hehehe. makan kat dave's deli... yum yum yum... me & hubby used to dine in kat dave's deli masa zaman berdua je dulu. the day before masa hantar fahmi to his tumble tots class, we had a quick lunch at 2.45pm... well it was a lunch for me coz i didn't had any yesterday even it was only a piece of shepherd's pie that i shared with fahmi. so, hubby pun teringin nak makan pie lagi, but it was out of stock yesterday. me and hubby had this combo pasta meal... ughhh i almost forgot how tasty and yummy the meal was. apparently, fahmi and yaya both can adapt to their parents appetite...
solat maghrib kat subang parade. hubby commented that how come we never discover that subang parade pun ada surau? if it wasn't because we enrolled fahmi to tumble tots classes we would never found the surau... it was facing the tumble tots entrance!
after maghrib prayer, i quickly ushered yaya out. hubby kata buat apa nak balik cepat-cepat. ehh... it really doesn't sound like hubby. he usually nak balik cepat-cepat sampai i nak window shopping pun tak best. i felt like going inside the mph bookstore... i've wanted to buy this book by dr miriam stoppard about children development... well some people may say that isn't it quite too late for me to buy the book since i already have two growing up child. well, isn't that just the right excuse for me to get the book? i'm not an expert, i'm still in the learning stages.
while i was browsing and scanning every books, hubby who was at that time carrying yaya quickly run for me and told me that i've just missed listening to yaya counting satu to sepuluh!!! uhhh i couldn't trust my ear so i ask who? fahmi ke? hubby said no it was yaya yang mengira satu dua tiga. uhhh would love to hear her counting again. been teaching her to count both in english and malay... she had never manage to finish counting and sometimes she would mix the satu, dua, tiga, empat, with five, enam, nine and never got to finish sampai sepuluh pun. but yesterday, hubby said she did it! when we tried to coerce her to count again... she started with satu dua tiga and mix with four five six... and that's all.
what about fahmi? hmmm dah penat ajar... bukan dia tak tau mengira but budak bulat ni jenis berat mulut. i dunno but i think boys are like that (bukan semua lah). so now, with yaya dah pandai mengira i hope that fahmi would feel tercabar skit, dia memang selalu macam tu, kalau yaya dah pandai buat something then only he will start doing it.
rasa-rasanya macam dah kena hantar yaya pegi class je ;)
I never thought that it's going to be so difficult to plan for a birthday party.
We just had fahmi's party in january... and now another party coming april, so soon...uhh.
Segan pulak dengan negihbour sumer... eheh. Last year in october we had makan-makan masa hari raya for our neighbour, followed by fahmi's birthday hi tea... now yaya's dinner party.
Hubby said tak yah buat party besar-besar, masak sendiri jer... but for me, i feel like doing something different this time... a bbq dinner. So, i went surfing on the net looking for caterer who can provide western/bbq menu and found www.caterer.com.my . The menu nampak sedap, presentation pun menarik, price? RM20 per head... not bad. But... the minimum order is 100pax... alamak! Macam mana ni... 100pax mana muat nak letak kat umah. Where got space? So, had to search again and i finally went to www.edenzil.com website. Not much info given so i had to called the number displayed. After waiting for 2 days, finally i got their quotation and menu list today. They accept minimum order for 50pax but... (mesti ada but) uhuhhh... the rate is RM28 per head. Sengih jelah...
If we go for this caterer, definitely we have to standby a budget around RM2k. That's consider a lot for a birthday party... adik beradik aku mesti terjegil biji mata kalau tau... tu belum my mum lagi. Tu lah hubby kata dah style macam orang loaded lah plak...
Now, wait and see lah... jadi ke tak buat bbq dinner party nih. For yaya... why not?
Assalamualaikum...
This is my first entry, so I named it Pilot. Macam drama bersiri omputih, the first siri on air selalunya mesti title:pilot :).
Actually, this isn't my first blog. I created one 6 months ago, but I was so busy with work, my kids, had a surgery to remove my tonsils in December bla... bla... bla... akhirnya i forgot the password to enter my own blog. That's me... senang lupa anything about myself even my own ID. Itulah... lama sangat jadik seketari... cheh alasan!
Luckily malam ni both my little terror tido awal. Fahmi tak sempat dinner pun dah tergolek atas sofa, after crying & meragam nak daddy sendukkan nasi. Daddy mana ada sayang, daddy dah pi surau. Yaya sempatlah sepah-sepahkan meja dengan nasi sambil temankan mama makan. Lebih banyak nasi yang tumpah dari masuk ke mulut dia. Tak sempat-sempat mama cuci mulut dah minta nak menyusu. After a while menyusu, terus doze off.
I got home quite late malam ni, almost 8pm, hubby and fahmi dah ke surau solat maghrib, leaving yaya with bibik at home. I quickly go up to my room, solat dulu followed by mandi. Yaya was with me, she wanted to wait for me instead of staying with bibik downstairs.
After mandi, i went down to make sambal tempe, well bibik dah masak for dinner, but i felt like makan sambal tempe. Yaya dok merengek nak menyusu, hubby tried to calm and soothe her but she was beyond soothing... apa ayat aku nih... lantak ler. Then i noticed that hubby was a bit crossed with me, i know why. Coz i got home late and the kids sibuk merengek for our attention actually. If only i noticed that... (sigh).
The situation will never get better. With the new post i'm holding at office, I had to give extra attention to every details, the responsibility not to mention the expectation is very high. So, this is the challanges that i had to face right now, to balance my job and my family. But it's very hard for me to handle both...
How i wished i was never offered the post
How i wished i can just let go the offer
How i wished it was just a dream
Finally, How i wished i can just be a housewife...
