The Journey to Korea

Lists and lists

Watikah hari ini adalah...

Hari ni agak hari yang macam-macam berlaku. 

Let me list them down one by one

1. Abang Ngah ke sekolah yang baru

We had to make different arrangements mandangkan maid aku nak balik bercuti (yang mana laki akak tak konpiden maid tu akan balik sini balik, tapi ini cerita akan dipanjangkan kendian).  So we found a full-day daycare pada kadar bayaran yang kami mampu cover enough the education needs dunia akhirat (InsyaAllah).  Criteria yang perlu semua ada lah so far. 

So today was the first day.  I pun pakaikan je baju biasa sebab pagi ni baru nak register [kenyih].  Dia pulak dok bertanya, "Mak mana ai punye skul baju?"  Haha.  Pakai je la baju biasa ya.  Dan tak tau apa ni isi pun dalam beg.  Ye lah.  Tak pernah hantar anak pergi full-day daycare so agak perak la sikit aku ni.  Yang tersauk cuma satu t-shirt and pensel box.  He he.

2. Abang Long emo sikit pagi ni

Abang Long ni kan...  Dia ni kenkadang keciciran barang.  Then pagi ni we went through the amount of ringgit he has been asking from the maid and belanja sungguh...  *haih*.  He buys mineral water.  Bikos he lost his TUPPERWARE water bottle.  TUPPERWARE water bottle.  TUPPERWARE water bottle.  Clear tak TUPPERWARE tu?  Ye.  Itu namanya adalah sangat INVESTMENT.  Though I have to give credit that botol tupperware ni yang he has kept longest dari botol yang lelain. 

So he buys nasik telur [aku pun bingung je dengar nama nasik dia ni] sebanyak 2 pinggan x RM2.00 dan satu mineral water.  Sama bila mengaji, nasik lemak RM1.20 dan mineral water.  Ko calculate sikit.

Dibuatnya pulak he didn't know where his pencil box was.  So I bising la.  Then I filled in one case for him to bring.  Bila turun rumah, found another one, so I put that one in Abang Ngah's bag.  Dengan itu, dia punya bersungut, emo, dari rumah sampai la ke tempat mengaji.  Dia nak trade jugak and dia kata Abang Ngah sengaja je ambik dia punya.  Grrr.

3. Cik Adik pergi sekolah

So on the way to work this morning, I went to see the facility for Cik Adik pulak.  Takde choice.  Memang terpaksa hantar asing-asing dua beradik tu.  It looks like fun for her.  Though a bit stark but barang semua cukup.  And seeing all the little kids makes me feel tetiba je sangat penyayang.  Hik hik hik! *getis*

4. My Day

Spent doing up kertas kerja yang perlu.  JD baru aku yang mana aku gelak je bila dapat instruction tu.  Bukan gelak suka.  Gelak pada diri sendiri.  Gelak yang...  "Ya Aulloh!!!"  Gitu.

Lepas tu aku stop jap buat kira-kira bulanan.  Teruk tak?  Dah seminggu lebih baru nak buat kira-kira.  Semalam baru je highlight kat laki akak, bagitau yang masih belum sempat so sekarang ni baru nak buat.  Dia kata dia tau sebab bank dah kol foloap dengan dia.  Hahahaha.  "Ya Aulloh!!!"

5. My Maid

She is leaving at the end of the month.  Tapi dah sibuk la selagi boleh nampak kelibat aku nak haru apa ke bendanya nak beg la.  Well, memula nak beg.  Then we found one beg kain agak sturdy that we got for free last year.  She tells me she wants one with rollers.  I pulak sedar benda-benda kecik like sos tiram... [ekceli itu perkara besar tu], sos tomato, beras dah habis.  And I keep going to the shop after work to get these one off punya barang.  Then she will also ask me when we are going to go bring her buy her Milo etc.  Disebabkan seminggu lepas dia kena pekik ngan aku [Literally, tak tipu.  Kat depan rumah pulak tu], dia dah macam reti nak agak setakat mana nak tanya.  So Alhamdulillah aku tidaklah rasa begitu nak hantuk kepala kat dinding.

6. Now

I still have some sorting of documents to do.  Then sort out some things.  Oh - Must print out something oso.  Better do this before I fojot.  Wait aaah...  Okay done.

Then...  What ah...  A lot of planning of administrative stuff to do. 

So okay.  Itu saja watikah untuk hari ini.

Sekian.

Watikah hari ini adalah...

   The things that happened. 

   The long path that we chose or given.

   The stony grounds that we plough onto for food.

So many things happened for so many people.  Indeed, 2010 has been a challenging period of time.  Lots of ups and downs.  We all survived the hurdles.  We are still here and breathing. 

   Newborns.

   Sweet kisses.

   Rebirth.

Finding out what is hidden.  Freeing self from pain.  Finding new things.

   I want to see something in a new perspective.  That is on my list.  Added on. 

   I want to feel something new.

   I want to embrace being happy.  Just because I deserve it.

But this year has been a harrowing year.  Again, we are alive.  We survived it. 

Life goes on, even if we don't.  Time doesn't wait for us, but we know when the moment is ours.  And hopefully we should know to ready ourselves when to leave, when the time comes.

Alas.

This is life.  So let us embrace it.

Posting myself into 2011

Greeting 2011 ...and 1.1.11.

WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR. 

Take care and good luck!

With love,

Watikah hari ini adalah...

I had a long and hard time thinking about this one.  Aku pun bukannya muda lagi.  Nak kata tua sesangat pun, belum eligible lagi walau pun aku rasa jiwa aku adalah lebih tua dari laki aku yang muda forever itu.  Tolak tepi yang aku selalu rasa aku ni sekian dan sekian dan sekian terhadap sekian dan sekian dan sekian.  Pendek kata, my self-esteem is that much.  Funny how you still feel sekian at this age.

Anyway, this is my list.

At the age of 34:

1.  I shouldn't be having zits, still on my face.  ...Because it's just so depressing.

2.  I should be able to split some time for myself.  ...But having time out at my convenience is not convenient for the others at my age and life stage.

3.  I should own a computer/laptop at home.  ...But none bikos there isn't any coverage at home so that really does defeat the purpose. 

4.  I should be having this large chest of shoes.  ...But it isn't because my kaki is gemuk and it's hard for me to find variety. 

5.  I should be having this large chest of clothes.  ...But it isn't because my badan fluctuates so much that it's hard for me to decide on getting myself something.

6.  I should be able to control my weight.  ...But the hormones seem to botched up at this age that no matter how little I eat, it'll be the same expansion plan.

7.  I should be able to manage my hair properly.  ...But they are getting more wavy then the fine, little and straight I was born with.  So I don't know what to do with them except bun or plait them to get them in order.

8. I should be able to know my greatest potential by now.  ...But I kinda lost it along the way. 

So, in greeting the new year...

1.  I want to read more books.  I've learnt that I can leave without TV and able to miss my favourite shows and have no much feeling having to watch a quarter of one out of 16 episodes or so of the series.

2.  I want to be able to spend at least one hour of my entire week, walking around the grounds to feel that I am worthy of a friend, to be sane, to remind myself of who I am, and be healthy - mind, soul and body.

3.  I want to drink more water and less coffee.  And I know that's so so so hard.

4.  I want to settle all things about teeth.  The older I get, the worse it gets.

5.  I want to be able to travel, with my husband.  Or with girlfriends.

6.  I want to learn to let things go.  It will be a bit hard though, because I remember things. 

7.  I want to learn to enjoy life a bit more.  I should do less worrying.

Keeping the list short.  That's a whole lot of things to do.  With a little, it can do more.  Much more when those little things does good for me.  All this is for the best of me, and the ones I love, and the ones who loves me.  I know I must keep myself healthy so I can take care of others.
