The wonder year. 2015

It has come to an end.
House done! All the sweat and tears has been so worth it. Everyday traveling from Kampar to Ipoh has come to halt. We no longer driving Sharon (she has been brilliant to us - i cried when i pass her to her new owner). We have red Sherry now. Hope that this daddy's girl give us the same experience like we did with Sharon.
Moving is not easy. But i learn now that if we dont really play that 'emotional' part, life does get easier. Hahaha. Selalunya bila nak pindah rumah, dok belek2 barang sebelum masuk kotak. Berangan kejap, emosi kejap, teringat ini itu kejap...last2 benda yang boleh settle 2-3 jam boleh jadi 2-3 hari! This time round, semua kena kejar masa. Tak sempat langsung nak belek2.
We nesting in now. Malcolm busy around the garden. Im busy inside. I love my kitchen! Day by day, I'm getting more and more into baking. Selalunya saya akan masak 'asal boleh' but from now on, I'd like to be more 'attention to detail' kinda person (not yet there). We enjoy hosting some small makan-makan jugak. Its fun. I live in Ipoh now. But I always been 'orang menawo' hehehe.

Oh ya!! My daughter now is officially 'uni student'! I am so proud of her. I sent her all by myself to Sabah. All the drama and tears had happened..haha. Now im all sit back and relax. Still having a headache with Adam but I am sure that he will be alright. Boys need to learn hard way maybe. At the moment,im giving him all the freedom he asked. They're my only treasure, of course both of them i will be eying none stop.

2015 has been really busy and tough for us but we enjoyed every second of it. 2016 onwards, I determine to be wiser with my financial (fingers crossed). I wanted to learn and do something that can top up my piggy bank such as sewing and baking for others. I know i cant be on stage forever.
And of course I would like to be able to write more and share my thoughts with friends who enjoy reading my stories.
I learned now that our happiness is at our own fingertips. Don't be afraid of changes. There's lots more in life. Full fill it.

Farewell 2015.

Welcome 2016. Let's rock and roll!!

Happy Mother's Day : To My Mom

Saya dilahirkan kurang sebulan dari tarikh lahir Shahanim Abu Hassan yang ke 17. I'm sooo used to people think that  i'm her younger sister. Hahahaha..Dah biasa bebeno bak kata orang Perak.
Meet my mom...more known as Kak Anim. Even most of my friends called her 'kak' instead of 'makcik'. She was born on 9th June 1958 to young couple Abu Hassan and Che Am. Anak kedua dalam keluarga and mama is the eldest to 7 younger good looking sisters and 4 younger brothers.

 Being a first born to a very young mother was very hard tau sebenarnya. Mama sangat aktif di usia muda (dont mean to say mom is old now but her health condition yang banyak membataskan 'keaktifan' mama).
Seriously tau....Mama can run faster than me!!.. She was very good at sports. Saya??..Kelauttttttt!!!
My early memory though-out my childhood...i found my mama very garang. Over my teen years..saya selalu rasa yang saya ni anak angkat sebab mama garang sangat. Masa tu saya sentiasa rasa apa yang saya buat takpernah betul dimata mama. Very less i know about life at that time.
Saya berhenti rasa yang saya ni anak angkat bila satu hari saya terjumpa kad warna pink yang diusulkan dari jabatan kesihatan untuk bakal ibu. I am officially hers dan lagi satu bukti...hidung saya sangat copy paste dari papa saya, En Wahid bin Dopin. hehehe.

I grew older with too many questions floating in my head about life which i dont think i can ask mama. I only learnt from pengalaman hidup. Watch..Listen..and Learn. Everytime i saw my younger siblings hugs and kiss my mom..it brings tears to me, EVERYTIME!!.. Setiap kali saya jumpa parents yang panggil anak mereka 'sayang'..'baby'..'princess'....saya rasa macam saya tengok drama. Hahaha.. Sebab through-out my  years of growing up...nothing such happens (as i remembered).
But as i grew older...i know why. Saya tahu kenapa mama jadi garang dan tegas. All she wanted only the best for her children. Being a very young mother with too many kids to look after..She was always tired. Not a 'tired' tired...but a happy 'tired'.
I learn a lot from mama how to take care of my own kids. Mama did too many things so that she got time to spend with us. Mama pernah ajar tuisyen kat rumah just because thats the only way that she can have all her kids infront of her finishing our school homework. Mama jadi tukang jahit sebab dalam pada mama dapat upah jahit baju jiran...cara yang sama jugalah mama siapkan baju sekolah mahupun baju raya kami sekeluarga setiap tahun( baju saya mesti siap pagi hari raya setiap tahun..hihihihi...sabar menanti kat tepi mesin jahit). Bila kami mula melangkah ke sekolah menengah..Mama berniaga pulak kat kantin sekolah supaya dapat pantau pergerakkan anak-anaknya. Mama tak pernah tak pergi ke mesyuarat PIBG. Mama kenal cikgu-cikgu kami.. Masa sekolah dulu....Mama suka buat 'spotcheck'. Tetiba je mama suruh letak beg sekolah kami depan dia. Siapa yang ada homework tapi tak buat.....sila la kencing dalam seluar. Pasti kena 'PIAPPP!!' Sebab tu dulu,masa sekolah...saya takpernah siapkan homework kat rumah. Saya mesti siapkan kerja sekolah sebelum saya balik.

Mama paling tak suka kalau anak-anak keluar tengahari. After lunch, Mama always make sure us kids ada kat rumah. Mama akan suruh kami semua tidur. Mama selalu cakap "aku tak berkenan orang datang rumah aku tengahari rembang..aku nak tido... Kome pun jangan nak 'nerojat' pegi rumah orang ye. TIDO..."
Selalunya kami bangun dengan bau tepek tepung atas kuali. Cicah susu atau gula. Then kami pergi padang. Naik basikal ramai-ramai. Saya selalu duduk tepi padang tengok Mama main netball ngan kawan-kawan saya. Saya main netball??...Kelauuttttt!!!

I adore my mom.Shes very pretty. She can do almost everything. A brilliant cook. A singer with very beautiful voice. A very supportive wife. Very close to her siblings aswell. Mama saya tak suka bercerita pasal hal orang lain sebab hal kami anak beranak dan hal mama dan keluarga pun dah banyak nak dijaga dari jaga hal orang lain.
Mama selalu pesan that we can do everything that we wish to do. Yang paling penting usaha. Jangan merungut. Jangan mengalah.

Saya sangat bersyukur to be born as her child. She teach me to be the strong person who i am now. The words "I LOVE YOU" doesn't come out from her lips often but i know she love us more than anything in this world.

Mama..
Terima kasih atas segala ilmu yang mama share pada Ejie untuk survive dalam dunia yang mencabar ini.
Terima kasih atas segala kasih sayang yang tiada sempadan yang mama curahkan.
Terima kasih atas segalanya.
Mama..
Maafkan andai Ejie pernah  menyakiti hati mama.
Maafkan andai Ejie perbah menyebabkan airmata mama jatuh.
Mama..
Ejie doakan kesihatan terbaik buat mama.
Ejie doakan happiness untuk Mama dan kita sekeluarga.
Ejie doakan agar rezeki kita berpanjangan dari Allah Ta'Alla.

Selamat Hari Ibu Mama.
I love you.

Ejie.

Assalammualaikum,

It has been a while yea... No..no..Not missing in action.. I was just too busy. Funny enough..dalam busy konon tu..Candy Crush tak henti main jugak.. That really annoyed my husband...ehmmm(eyes rolling)
So...how's everybody been doing? Good? Well...good then.

My last post was in September last year. Whooaaaa..that is like AGES!! Saya cuba cari kesempatan untuk duduk depan komputer tapi selalunya ilham tak jugak datang. But im here today. Tadaaaaaa!!

What have i been doing? I have been building A HOUSE!! No..actually its me and my husband and whole team of Chinese builders. Project started middle of December 2014. Banyak sangat benda baru yang saya pelajari sepanjang projek ini. We not quite done yet. One little step everyday.

Ramai yang bertanya...kenapa saya dan suami berulang ke tapak pembinaan setiap hari? Kenapa kami turut serta berpanas, punggah menunggah batu bata sedangkan kami dah upah team untuk projek tu. Honestly.. At the beginning...I ask that same exact question.

Day by day baru saya faham kenapa suami ajak saya berulang setiap hari dari Kampar ke Ipoh untuk pantau kerja-kerja pembikinan. i learn something everyday. Macam-macam perkataan baru saya belajar. Beam. Foamwork. Collum. Slab. Crusher-run. Ect ect...Ye la kan..saya ni penyanyi..mana la saya tau semua ayat-ayat baru tu.
Day by day this project excite me more and more. Im looking forward for the final result. Tapi as my husband said.. There's going to be years till we really get that FINAL result. Must be bits and bobs over here and there to be fiddle with. I agree with that.

Oh Yea...Another thing that really makes my hubby proud is the way i talk to people. Handling 'some situations'. He said i can be a really good project manager. Woohoooo!! (cant-wait-for-my-bonus-that-you-promised-mrb)

  

*very looking foward*

I will try to find some time to post something. But for now...Ilham takat ni je. Untuk semua yang sudi membaca...,ribuan terima kasih saya ucapkan. Never hold back anything in life. Never too old to learn something new. Live.Life. Laugh.

Assalammualaikum.
