X-Matrix 123 Reunion Raya

After 12 years (even 15 for some), we met again in Putra He1ghts (A1za's house). They came in different shapes and sizes including moi. Some changed a lot while some stayed cute as ever hahaha Not to mention their cute little mini-me. Time flies, eh?

We used to flirt, made cruel jokes and said whateva things that came through our mouth and the funny thing is...we never changed !! I suppose, the spouses had to bear with us and accept whateva thrown to their partner that day and I hope it won't end in soklan cepumas in the bedroom later !! hehehe I'm happy coz they stayed true to themselves, not too much of hypocracy shown tho I myself did limit myself (esp. on food..but failed miserably of coz).

I miss them so much and glad that we did proceed with the event tho we only managed to get 1/2 of us. Food were in abundance as we agreed to potluck and dress casually. No raya dresscode required.

I, again, forgot to bring my camera which was sooooo not-me. So gotta rely on others, they had posted it on FB and everybody is still trading cruel jokes here and there hehehe...

All in all, I love my x-klasmate and wud love to see them again.

btw, I love how A1za decorated her house. Natural deco (not keras or too teratur mcm nk masuk majalah, u know) and homey.....UPDATE : Aiza came to my house last Sat nite sambil2 bwk slingback anak dara aku yg t'tinggal last week. Bravo for being adventurous enough to enter jalan yg gelap gulita and redah bukit yg gelap jua sbb lampu jalan all gone kaput. She reached the house around 9pm and left around 2.30am !! Best gila sembang....layan nasik minyak & kepok leko pastu dari teh 'o', jadik teh tarik pastu sambung kopi...sampai la berkabus kat luar x abis lagi cerita. Hmm...shud do it more..sape sanggup ?

BBQ Raya

Raya pun nak BBQ hehe saja nk teruskan tradisi belah T'ganu where we will have BBQ nite during raya, dulu2 masa kecik2 selalunya bakar satay aje di malam raya, now expand menu masuk ayam + daging. Kat KL kita expand lagi masuk lamb...yummeh.

It's time for us adik beradik to eat together2 (both sides of the family) since masa berbuka jarang nak dpt peluang camtu. Apart from lauk BBQ we had prepared sup tulang and nasi goreng cina. Buah2an tempatan imported from kampung segala duku, manggis, rambutan fresh dari pokok umah atuk (hasilnya sampai harini myvi aku penuh ngan semut hitam, klu time park tgh panas menderu2 dia keluar hahaha). Mari menjamu mata dgn melihat aksi2 BBQ.

On my side, all 4 bros & sis came to help me in the kitchen together2. After Maghrib, Hj Halim entourage came in 2 cars carrying 2 mak buyongs. So, I have 3 mak buyong in the house. I due in Oct, 1 in Nov and the last 1 would be in Apr'11. 3 anak sedare(s) for me hehe. Kata org 3's a crowd. So I'll hold my productionlah...nanti kang Hjh T0n ter'overwhelming' plak.

Fire starter..'bang, sate perut ada bang ?'

Kat dlm ada sup tulang, nasik guring, salad & buahs

Menu luar rumah

Saat gembira boleh duduk dekat api

Rezeki kwn2 Hanis, dtg time kami tgh ngap ngap

Drama Minggu Ini bertajuk : Nenek, aku ditipu suami !

Byk jugak lesson learned malam tu. contoh dia :

• Beli BBQ grill sendiri, yg boleh dicompactkan masuk stor (dgn kata lain tnya Apiz beli kat mana)
• Jgn beli arang pesen lama lagi, beli pesen baru dan harus di Carre4
• Sebelum beli sila check harga jgn tertipu ingat 3 hengget sekotak (lalu ambil 3) , adalah rm12 bila bayar
• Jangan gatal buat sayur-kena-cucuk byk sgt sbb spesis herbivor x ramai
• Air mestilah tajuk Selementi sbb kaw dgn bbq
• Mint sos beli kat OTK tak sedap, rasa ubat gigi (baik cicah ubat gigi terus)
• dan lain lain

Oh tidak....it's the baju, not me ;P

I'm in denial mode, so please spare me the OMG and whateva. Just say that I look...mmm OK ? or maybe sumthing similar to that

Told ya, it's the baju which was tailored ala-rosmah.

I have no bulges, no flabby arms...it's definitely the baju.

Fullstop.

Biggest regret :( I did not capture couple shot of me and hubby di pagi raya nan mulia sbb sumer org bz nak makan and we had guest almost immediately after. Labuci or not, I had to don the apron !! Yet to get a copy of our family shot which may force me to admit in guilty that I in fact is carrying super bulges on my tummy. For now, I'm pretty sure I have none

Salam Aidilfitri di pagi raya ke-4

Selamat hari raya buat semua walopon cita2 nak ucap di malam raya tapi better late than never lah. Malam raya penuh dengan xtvt dapur dan juga acara ke Carre4 m'cari ketuhar gelombang mikro untuk ibu mertua. Ntah apa mimpi kitorang. Pasni carik lg 1 untuk omak guwe pulak..letak di rumah baru :)

Aku cuti 1 week before raya sebab bibik terchenta pulang ke kampung halamannya nun di Bandung sana. She was given 1-week leave only coz I can't afford to let her go for 1 month. Baru tukar dept sesedap rasa plak nak unpaid 1 bulan..manyak canteek

Maka siang malam doa, serba tak kena, risau tahap gaban takut2 terjadi kes pergi tak kembali walopon dia begitu yakin dgn janji2 dia, bibik pastu kembali buk...risau tetap risau, apatah lagi $$ dah kirim 10juta, di tangannya 2juta. Rumah besar sudah abis hutang bank, suami menelepon setiap hari minggu terakhir sebelum kepulangannya..sikit2 sms..kangen sama istri...ceh..dah tau bini duit banyak ko kangen sana sini, dulu sedap2 ko kawen lain x kontek sampai la tau bini nak balik bawak duit juta2...debik kang !! Yang penting she came back yesterday. Yippee...no matter how vengang & geram at times I still need her service : laundry, mopping, vacuuming & all so that I can concentrate on more important chores like feeding the house, layan bdk2 & bapak budak. I need my own sweet time jgk for myself.

So what de happening during the break ?

Verangan lah aku konon duk umah 1week nak :

o Cat border pagar
o Buat kuih
o Sort wardrobe kanak2 ribena
o Kerjakan potted gardenku

No 1 & 2 pun x berjaya so yang selebihnya boleh la diabaikan. Hari2 aku kemas rumah & urut dada tgk tinggalan bibik. Baju2 tak berlipat belakang pintu, baju tak bergosok dlm wardrobe. Aku punggah balik susunan groceries aku dan hasilnya macam2 aku jumpa. Barang yg aku konfiden ada dia kata dah takde maka ku beli lagi hasilnya berpaket, bertin2 brg yg terperosok di belakang kabinet. Baru 2 bulan aku tak check dia start main sumbat2 balik dah. Jadinya lepas ni aku nak masak aku tak request dah mcm dulu, aku carik sendirik...ko tinggal kopek bawang je lah bik.

Buat pertama kali jugak kami 'balik kampung' Gombak hahaha bertolak dari Sg Pusu pkl 4.30pm, before pukul 5pm kami dah selamat sampai umah mak dengan beg besar, balang kuih serta baju2 raya yg dah iron. Balik kampung katakan hehe all this while aku gi nolong masak segala tapi malam balik tido kat umah sendiri yg cuma sekangkang gorilla dari situ. Pagi2 pegi sana and malam balik lagi, so kami tak penah overnite kat umah mak sejak dari kawin, even klu abih buat keje after midnite pun gagah jugak balik umah senirik. Maybe sbb kami takde bilik nak landing kot so mcm tak best nak tergedang kat living hall sedangkan umah sendiri x sempat b'peluh dah sampai. Maka tahun ni kami conquer la port depan TV ramai2, keluar semua mak bapak toto..Aku 'raya' 2 hari awal so melepas lagi solat raya. Tapi..depa2 yg pi masjid pun end-up pi 'tgk org solat' sbbnya masjid full to the brim. Ramai tak balik ka ?

1st raya pagi2 bz isi perut sendiri dulu pastu acara 3G ke kampung halaman. Line bz gila, asik sangkut jek. Nothing fancy on 2nd raya. Raya ke-3 kami gi ambik bibik kat LCCT. Lepak umah mak kejap & angkut barang2 nak balik umah sendiri. Cuti raya dah abess kononn...

Tiba2 pagi ni aku tercongok kat opis dah, macam separa sedar. Redah ujan ribut taufan pagi tadi, gila lebat seh ujan kat KL..trimakasih baju ujan GIVI & kasut Cr0cs kesayangan, aku selamat sampai di opis. Basah di luar kering didalam !! Selamat Hari Raya Kawan-Kawan........

Gambar ? Mmm kamera kami 'cuti', kena tunggu dari kamera BIL, dia punya lagi canggih.

My love-hate affairs with...Bibik

We renewed our maid's 2nd year permit last July and increase her salary to rm500. I bought her a return ticket to go back for raya since last year after she promised to continue working for us when the 2 years contract expired. I sent her off 1-week before Eid, she should be back on 3rd raya.

She did.

With that, she now passed all the major test (kids, curi etc) where other maids failed, so for now she's a keep and will be with us for a long time, InsyaAllah. She still have some habits which are hard to break and I have to accept those as part and parcel of having a live-in maid. Give and take. I need your service and you need money. We meet somewhere in the middle. I take it as a test to see how patient I am (and how patient hubby can be having to tahan telinga listening to me pot-pet-ing hehe)

BTW, just before we renewed her permit, I had a serious talk with her after she 'buat perangai' during kenduri bertunang my sis. I stopped talking to her for almost 1 week until I lost it and talk to her openly. Knowing me, I can't bring myself to scold or yell to anyone including my maid (Note to myself and hubby : kat anak2 boleh pulak separa yell & full version scold. Change before you lost them to peers). Dalam kepala ayat intonasi gila marah, bila keluar kat mulut..foh feh foh feh...aku ungkit balik janji dia masa awal2 keje, she cried and apologised. I cried and sighed (lega sbb berjaya sampaikan mesej without being very-the-mem-style)

Alhamdulillah, she behaved better and most probably decided to let go a lil it of her 'diva-ness' and I've reminded her not to repeat any 'Neng-Yatimah' scene whenever my family members are around. Apalah yang susahnya duk umah aku ni, all well taken care of including your perasaan...silalah bersyukur wahai bibik ku. Aku juga kena bersyukur especially bila dengar citer2 ngeri bibik opismate & kawan2. Contohnya bibik yg mengompol sepender majikan & ntah siapa2 lagi, bibik yg menyorokkan henpon serta duit disebalik kepala katil, not to mention yang cabut tinggal anak2 kat rumah dan lagi dan lagi
