Hai Semalam

I was really excited smlm cause for once i got a half a day of r&r but aft the doctor assess my mil nya eyes he says that my mil eyes needs to be operated. Alamak terperanjat juga i cause both my DH and I ada personal agenda that we want to execute lah cam na ni but since i am married to the eldest in the family and anak jantan sorang its my responsibility to look aft my mil so dah buat berbincang ngan DH that we have to postpone our personal agenda dulu since my mil nya eyes is more important. So in June i have to be on leave to look aft my mil and skg dah kena lah simpan cuti i tak leh lah amik semarang2.

Anyway i totally enjoy my massage, it was at Spa Espirit at Duxton Hill, tempat nya posh gila beb and its big and very homey feeling. They usher me in to a sofa corner and serve me herbal tea, phew bila duduk je @ the sofa dengan soft music playing at the background and pemandangan nature whoa terlelap i jap sampai kan the massasue have to wake me up to tell me that the room is ready. Punya lah best the massasue did a great job. Sblum dia start she ask which part that you want to concentrate so i bilang my shoulder, ya ampun terasa all my muscle ache gone, the massage was abt an hour pas tu the detox treatment. She applied hot mud satu badan pas tu wrap me up, i dah rasa mcm bake chicken and u betul nya berpeluh but while i am being wrap she did massage my face alamak punya lah best and the whole two hours of treatment i tido, the massasue kena kejut i everytime dia nak i turn over bila dah turn i tertido lagi i cuma rasa dia move my legs or my arms. After the two and half hour treatment i rasa phew yo rejuvenate badan rasa ringan and muscle i tak rasa sengal2 lagi sebab tu lah org2 suka lah sangat gi spa and aft this i pun suka gi spa cuma bila come to the price huh ini part yang tersedak sikit.

My DH pun cuti smlm after sending me for my treatment he did his own things and aft i'm done he picks me up then we both went for a drink at coffee bean rasa mcm jangal sikit tak ada anak i so we both terpaksa alik mcm biasa cause my mil tak tau yg kita both on leave so bila balik rumah anak i pulak sakit. She is having flu asyik sneezing and hidung tersumbat so the whole night tido tak lenyak nasib baik lah i tak rasa penat so mlm smlm tak tido fully pun i rasa ok this morning i brought princess i sorang gi jumpa doctor dulu baru masuk opis and my mil been calling me the whole day ckp anak i cranky she kp on calling for me wr ibu cause anak i kalau sakit she will cling to me tak nak ngan org but mcm mana i nak balik i nak kena simpan cuti so my mil terpaksa lah layan anak i cranky or not she has to face it.

Besok

Besok i cuti, tak dpt lah nak update atau tulis2 sebab i cuma boleh update bila kak opis, kalau kak rumah all my time is taken up jgn ckp nak update blog, nak tengok tv pun nak kena tunggu anak i tido and normally this time i ngah buat ironing so my time is limited betul bila kak umah. I bukan makan gaji buta eh, i cuma update bila boss tak ada and keje i dah selesai baru lah i buka my blog ok. First half of day i kena antar my mil to NUH for her eye check-up. Huh the 2nd half of day yg i look forward to, a 2hrs of session of detox massage. Lately stress sangat2 that is why lah i am really really looking forward to it. Hopefully lepas ni i lebih fresh and rejuvenate. Dah lama betul i tak gi massage the last time i went was last year itu pun belas ikhsan my 2nd sis, dia yg bayar, i cuma adakan badan. So maybe next time kalau i ada rezeki lebih i pulak belanja dia. So akan update further on Thursday, ciao for now.

Susah nak explain

I betul nya bengang skg, i dah tak tahu bahasa apa lagi i nak ckp ngan my mil, ckp omputeh tak faham, ckp melayu faham tapi refuse to faham. My princess sorang ni ada dah memang ada sinus, every morning bila bangun je mesti sneezing just like her dad which i have explain to her teacher and she understand but last Friday the teacher notice yg anak i has a little bit of flu and smlm the teacher notice that her nose is runny and she call me yesterday that not to send audrey to school for a couple of days since anak i ada slight flu and ada few of her classmates are catching flu also. So i bilang lah my mil not to send anak i to school today and tomorrow and now dia dah meleret mengamok tak tentu pasal. Dia ckp nak serang cikgu anak i lah, nak sindir lah, apa saja lah my mil and the worst part is she says teacher nya malas nak jaga budak2 and teacher nya thinks anak i ada khinzir flu. What nonsense is she talking abt, there is no trace of khinzir flu in in spore and the teacher is not malas she is only looking at the best interest of each child that is her job and i found the teacher has been doing a great job. Dari smlm and till today when i talk to her on the phone masih lagi tak abis2 my mil merepek and she only listen to her beloved daughter cause dia kan teacher i ni apa, cuma keje kak opis je & i dont know the education system but i know much more cause the circle that i am in, i kenal dari pangkat Director sampai kan ke Dispatch rider and we talk exchange ideas and my contacts of people cuma i malas nak brag for what kan? tapi kalau i bilang my mil mana lah dia percaya buat bongok sudah. I rimas betul dah tak tau apa lagi nak buat & ckp. Ish geram2...............

Wow hapi lah sangat2 lauk & nasi i masak abis on the very same day. Not forgetting on sat night i make pizza, but my pizza is an instant one, not the ready made nya but i bought the pizza crust so tak yah lah i susah nak make it from scratch. What i need to do is beli the peperroni & mozarella cheese and wholah pizza done. My hubby suka sangat ngan pepperoni so everytime kalau order pizza he will order the meat pizza so i suggest lah since u slalu sangat complain yg pepperoni nya sikit sangat, beli and buat sendiri kan puas and my little princess pun suka, she kp on asking for the meat and cheese. So babah and daughter both kemaruk sangat ngan pizza sampaikan sunday breakfast pun mkn pizza. As for sunday i masak simple, bihun goreng. My mil did mention yg dia tak nak makan nasi so i tanya masak mi ok tak and she say boleh lah, i apalagi suka giler kan senang masak je bihun dah tak yah nak masak yg lain2 sal kalau masak banyak2 pun nanti tak ada org makan cuma both my inlaws and my hubby and I je yg makan kak rumah as for my sis in law she is hardly at home so dia jarang makan kak rumah. Penat juga eh, i thought weekend is for us to have a R&R but unfortunately its hard for me to have a r&r weekend, my time abis kak keje rumah, masak and layan princess i sorang ni and now its the cutest time as she is learning to form her sentences and she is a little bit bossy now kalau i ngah ada conversation with my DH she will say ibu dont talk, stop talking to babah, talk to audrey, so ibu kena layang lah, DH kena tunggu. Hmph......now i dah nak kena start thinking what am i going to cook this weekend???

Hai Tak Kenyang

Ok today sempena secretary week our bosses (kita ada 5 director) belanja all us from Admin Dept makan lunch, venue at S'pore Swimming Club, one of the oldest club being established here. The restaurant phew standard gila beb, btw one of the director member kak club ni so kita dpt private room. The salad spread alamak punya lah best, nak tangkap gambar takut pulak sal one of the rule hp kena on silent mode so tak brani nak tangkap gambar tak pasal2 nanti phone i kena confisicate (dah mcm budak skolah lak).

Masa i sampai one of the director (yg club member lah) dah seated so I yg 1st skali to walk into the room and as usual lah etiqutte kata kan so i duduk lah sebelah dia tapi yg buat i bengang yg duduk depan i is not my favourite director, dia ni slalu cari pasal ngan I, so bila @ opis ni i slalu try to avoid to talk to him or bump into him, i ingat dpt duduk sebelah boss lain boleh lah i avoid dia, alamak punya lah terperanjat beruk bila dia duduk depan i, lah cam na ni, nak mkn pun dah tak selera. Perut ngah lapar gila sal smlm tak dinner sal anak i kacau and breakfast pagi tadi very light ingatkan wah lunch mesti gerek nya so nak bedal lah skali bacfire. Menyesal to walk into the room 1st kalau lah i tau tadi i masuk toilet dulu tengok seating arrangement nya cam mana. To make things works my colleague yg lain makan sikit je dah stop, apa konon nya segan lah tu, 1 round of salad dah stop and duduk wait for the main course, lah apasal pulak stop tak kan lah i nak bedal sorang nanti nampak sangat i ni gelojoh, itupun i buat 2 round of salad. Boring seh tekak ngah selera nak makan tapi tak ada kaki yg gerek and makan pun sikit2 je, apa saja lah puas hati jgn kluar makan. When come to desert pun sama, so i terpaksa lah ikut rentak semua org take 1 slice of chocolate banana cake and coffee tapi dlm hati berontak gila nak makan lagi, tapi apa kan daya and while i am enjoying my 1 slice of banana cake, director yg duduk depan i ckp sal keje, boring betul lah, dia ni slalu je ckp sal keje tak kira lah kak mana mesti nya topic keje kena masuk. As for me i buat bodoh je lah, masuk right ear kluar left ear. Overall i dont enjoy my lunch. I mesti nak mintak my own direct boss belanja i sorang, i tak puas hati he owe me 2 lunch!!

Office Politics

Bila agak nya i boleh retire eh duduk rumah jaga anak, jadi tai-tai. Hmph..... takut bila dah duduk rumah bosan pulak. Penat lah rasa nya nak tempuh dugaan keje lagi especially office politics ni tebal sangat. Bila complain kak the other half dia ckp alah small little gritty thing je pun nak gaduh. Mcm mana lah tak gaduh kalau dah kena stab in the back. I tak faham lah org yg tak pandai sangat keje tapi pandai sangat bodek2 ngan boss, ckp pun lemah lembut kalau u all dengar cara org ni ckp and ketawa kecil2 mcm manja2 gitu, u all boleh muntah tau, sebab itulah boss sayang kak org ni, i cukup betul nya menyampah org yg dari $%*&$ (tak leh sebut nama negeri). Dalah tak mandi, badan bau hanyir, aksyen pulak tu bila apa diaorang nak boss bagi. I ni yg dah jadi secretary to my boss and i know him for more than 10 years already tak lah manja mcm dia. My stands is you have to like me for who I am. Kalau nak ckp manja2 ngan boss sori lah, anyway my boss know my style of work and so far tak ada complaint from him even though he know i cukup tegas dengan pendirian i, i put my feet firm on the ground and when i say means no and so far my boss will give me his full support. That is why lah org i mention above ni will go behind my back and trying to make things difficult for me but smlm dah trash out with my boss and sori eh sister, no road and no jln for u to cut thru...........

Mami Feeling Guilty

Hai this morning bangun tersentak sekejap, ya Allah i lupa nak bagi susu kak princess i sorang ni. Usually i will feed her abt 11.30pm and skali lagi at abt 5 or 5.30am tapi pagi tadi i boleh tak bangun, sadar2 je dah kul 6.15, memang time untuk i bangun pun for sholat and preparation b4 i berangakat to ofis. Actually kawan i (she has a girl same age as mine) dah stop night feeding her daughter when her girl turn 1 and now her girl sleep on her own (in her own room) and she did mention i manjakan sangat anak i. Betulke i manja kan anak i?? my reason why i am still night feed her because kekadang during the day anak i tak minum susu, sebab itu lah i am still continuing her night feed because she is a growing toddler and she needs the full nutrients and knowing my princess she would want all the junk food and both nyai & yayi manjakan sangat anak i will give in to her every wimp. Skg ni my princess is trying to test and push my patience to the limit, everytime i marah kak dia, hai hati i yg sedih kalau boleh tak nak marah tapi kekadang tu tak leh nak control temper and to make thing worst nyai and yayi slalu lah masuk frame kalau i nak discipline anak i, itu yg buat i lagi marah tapi mcm mana bilang kak my mother in law because she is not an easy to person to talk too kalau dah kata dia, kata dia je lah yg betul semua salah even my father in law pun tak leh nak ckp ngan dia, sigh, so bertambahlah mami feeling guilty..........................

Am I Fierce???

Am i a fierce person?? Like that fellow up there?? sori eh, i tak mkn org tau. My colleague think that I am. Well they leave me no choice, tak kan lah I suka sangat marah2 org, diaorang ingat i ni gila nak marah org just for the sake of scolding. Look I work in an civil & structural engineering firm and my boss leave me to run the show, baik dari chasing the engineers to complete their design for authorities submission, doing submission and following up with the authorities for their approval, semua i kena buat and when he sms or tanya i he expect me to reply him straight away, in another word everything have to be in my fingertips because he has to report it to the owner/client.

So bila tadi lunch time my friend told me that maybe its time my team has a new secretary cause dia boleh jadi bossy, i sedih juga. They think its easy to sit at my place kalau my boss bad mood and tengah bingit, kak sapa dia nak lepas kan geram! kak muka i juga lah. Bila dia tanya i whether the plans has been submitted and i ans no, my boss reply why? why dont chase the engineers? he make me feel like i dont do my work at all padahal kekadang rasa penat nak chase and talk to the engineers whether they have finish their work. I did try to cover them up, trying to explain to my boss but diorang tau tak? i dont think so.......... sigh what to do. I ni sebenar nya a very helpful person, actually i dah banyak help the engineers to do their part of their work like compiling calculation, following up with the authorities so on and so forth but for other team the engineers have to do it themselves, itu pun tak cukup ke. I bukan nya nak puji diri i ni bagus sangat but i will try my very best to help out as long as the job is done, tak kan ni pun i nak kena explain kak dioarang, faham2 sendiri cukup lah. May be its true, i think its about time i step down so that they have the chance to work with someone else and as for me fresh air. But not anytime soon i nak my long service bonus dulu baru lah i quit, ha, ha, ha...........

1st post

Hi


This is it, finally I have created my own blog. My friends have been bugging me to have one but dont see the need till now, especially I luv browsing and reading all the food blogs out there and thought to myself, hey why not create one, 1st I can pen my thought, 2nd i can share recipes with others and finally i have a reason to tell my DH that i need to buy me my own lap top, yes!!


For this past few months i have been a good wife, hey wait a minute I have been a good wife for the past 10 years! (hmph does my DH knows this, i hope he does) cuma lately every weekend I will try to cook up a storm (masak yg sedap2 lah), well i am a working wife and mother so by the time i reach home @ 7pm mana lah ada time nak masak kalau yg simple tu boleh lah, lagi pun my mother in law tinggal ngan I so ada org yang tolong masak dinner hari2. As this is my very 1st entry, i did not take any pictures of what i have cook smlm so will try to do that this weekend. Untuk pengetahuan semua last saturday i masak nasi tomato, ayam masak merah & dalca sayur. Hapi sangat2 bila dpt pujian from my DH and both metua i pun suka (hopefully its the truth lah or maybe nak sedap kan hati I kot). For your info my princess yang kecik tu pun suka, even though umur dia baru 2+ tapi bab makan ni dia tak cerewet semua dia makan. She love flavoured rice tak kira lah nasi lemak ke briyani ke or nasi tomato ke semua jln terus.

Oh yes, I nak share a good news, looking forward to the coming 1st May holiday sebab ada family outing (my side). Anak buah semua nya dah besar panjang, anak dara and bujang so they have plan a fun filled day, that is to have an amazing race, yeh!!! hapi lah sangat2, sal semua family I berkereta (ni bukan nak megah ye) so since semua ada own transport thus the amazing race come about. Slalu nya kalau ada family outing either picnic or barbeque so anak2 muda ni slalu nya complain boring and sometimes diaorang tak nak ikut cuma yang kecik2 tu lah yang slalu ada for the family outing so since they all slalu complain kita ni yang tua2 let them run the show kita cuma kluar kan S$ (ni dah mesti lah but its ok) and give them our full support. BTW I come from a family of six and I am the youngest. As for the moment blum ada full detail lagi so will update further and also will post all the hapi pictures taken during the race.

Ok lah tak leh banyak celoteh, nanti org ingat i makan gaji buta sebab I create this blog and siap ngan tulis skali time office hours so kalau orang nampak (except Lilie knows) mati lah I. Ciao for now.
