Bila tiada transport provider lain yang ada...
Watikah hari ini adalah...
Saya tidak mahu stress. Walau bagaimanapun, my maid called me this noon sebab risau van sekolah tak sampai lagi. I didn't make any calls seeing that this is like the first week of sekolah so harus ada adjustment period for the vans and all.
Then about 15 minutes later she called me again. Dia kata, van sekolah Abang Long dah sampai tapi Abang Ngah and Cik Adik tak sampai lagi.
Looking at the time when we first started, Abang Ngah and Cik Adik turun van and immediately Abang Long will get on the same van to school. Their school finish at 12:00pm and so by the time sampai rumah about 12:30pm, then just nice for Abang Long to naik for his 1:10pm school session.
Dah lah sekolah bebudak kecik tu rosak taliponnya. Then I remembered Memi ada sebut kata she is still in contact with the school teachers. So I asked for Abang Ngah's class teacher's number and terus called her. Dapat je explain aku ni siapa, terus awal-awal dia kata van provider tu lambat sikit since she just called him. He informed her that there will be days that he will be delayed to pick them up from kindy.
Ko kesian tak kat diorang... It was already 12:45pm. What time was he planning to fetch them? Pukul 1:30pm and terus sampai rumah pukul 2:00pm?
So I went to pick them up myself. They are only 5 and 3 though this year they will be 6 and 4. Kecik lagi tu. Especially for the little girl. Dah la dia tu agak kejung sikit when it comes to changing of schedule and huru-hara bila terkeluar dari routine dia.
Mak adalah sikit - tekanan jiwa.
Why lah? Walau pun I tau they will be alright if left there kat sekolah tu... Why kena kelam-kabutkan flow bebudak tu. Some more he didn't inform me. Didn't call me. Didn't text message pun.
And the beauty of this is... He is the only transport provider for my housing area.
Mengapa ya?
*aih*

So... Happy birthday Papa!

Sesondol hari pertama sekolah bukak
Hari ni hari persekolahan. Aku baru terkedek-kedek mencari sekolah untuk Abang Ngah and Cik Adik. Tak nyempat. Agak padan ngan muka aku sebab sekolah yang dijangkakan dapat masyuk, telah pun penuh. Walau bagaimanapun, alhamdulillah, dapat pulak masyuk sekolah lain. Murah pulak tu. Tidak beriban macam playskool yang lain. Itu isu, sakit jiwa. For the price of one kid in those schools, dapat masuk dua orang sekali.
Bila anak sekolah petang, aku rasa, lebih runsing dari biasa. Seriously.
Pagi tadi, nebeng gi KAFA. Baru juga terhegeh-hegeh nak register. Mak orang lain berlitup tapi aku adalah sebaliknya dan bertambah dengan comot pulak tu. Nak buat cemana pun. Kalau dah inborn comot, comotlah ia kan? Haha.
Then we left Abang Long kat sana, baru tubik cari pre-school adik-adik. Jumpa pulak sekolahnya.
Terus gi balik sekolah Abang Long, tapau sempat tapau sesikit masa nunggu dia habis. Nasib baik jumpa pakcik van kat bawah sekolah. Terus pesan, ambik dia balik sekolah agama terus from tomorrow.
Balik, bagi makan, jirus budaknya... Then Bapak budak BBM kata ok with the preskool. Alhamdulillah walau memang facilitynya adalah sedikit rundown.
Sent Abang Long to skool and jumpa sekali seluruh kaum keluarga di sana. Aku tak tipu k.
Tita Ocha. Tita Alia. Tita Lisa. Tita Yanna. Tita Maya. Ababe Jr. Rame la tu kan?
It was scorching hot. This heat lately ni selepas hujan sampai banjir kilat kat merata tempat.
Terus after first assembly, pegi kedai jap nak ambik baju repair yang tak sesiap tu. I've already thought of sending the kids balik rumah sebab diorang tu dah tahap sampai member classmate lama tu gelakkan. Dia sondol montot Mak sambil kata, "Mak, ai nak tido!" But then again, ada sorang lagi kici dah bersuara on repeat, "Ai nak pegi toyshoooop..."
Seperti yang tidak dijangka, otak telah menyumbanglewengkan diriku ini. Tak terpikir sekolah kat area kedai tu akan menyesakkan jiwa ragaku dengan jam-son dari trafiklite kat bawah jalan sampai ke atas. Aaaaaaargggh... Orang berbudi kita berbahasa. Sekian.
Yang paling best, tetiba je dah takde orang ngomel. Of course, sebab kici dah tertido. Baek punya... Grrr.
Nasib baik sampai je situ benda yang aku hantar jahit tu dah siap. Budak sekolah punya pasal, baju aku tu 3 minggu baru diorang dapat setel. Tapi takpe. Aku ni penyabar orangnya. Tu pasal seluar sekolah anak aku sendiri pun baru tadi terhegeh-hegeh nak bawak pi potong! Haha. Ngoks. Dia suruh tunggu 1/2 jam. Oklah tu. Sempat beli buah bagi kici-kici tu makan. Sempat beli ubat sesikit sempena musim panas yang memberikan rashes pada pengidap eczema... Sempat beli donut bawak pi sekolah.
Terus we went back to school for recess. Dok setengah jam bersama keluarga yang lain, we headed to lumah Memi sebab tadi dia tak menang tangan nak membawak buku Tita Lisa. Memi ajak masuk. Mak terus bagi arahan soh kici-kici tido. Dan sebab mereka tido, Memi tunggu kat rumah dan Mak pi balik skolah amik mereka-mereka yang mencari jalan pulang.
When we got to Memi's she oredi goreng ikan. Never have I ever been so tertarik dengan ikan goreng kunyit macam tu sekali. Tapi I was sure musti maid aku dah masak tanpa apa-apa arahan dari aku. But I know Abang Long, musti dia join dan dia telah join makan.
We left after he was done.
Tired. Ni pun baru je diorang tido tak padan dengan skool nite. Mari kita salahkan cuti sekolah yang panjang itu.
Sekian, itu sahaja dariku untukmu.

'What an ass of a Monday'
Watikah hari ini adalah...
For the last 10 minutes, I have had, 'What an ass of a Monday' in my head.
Was I cursing for yesterday? No. It was actually a good day at the park, then some time at the Curve. But come to think of it, I didn't really enjoy myself at the malls. I was smelly, yes. Then we all needed caffeine. Or maybe we needed more of it, because we got grumpy on our way back home.
Of course I was also on it silently. Silently grumpy. It just bugged me that I hadn't been to the market for food supplies even though it had been 3 days of holiday. I offered to just do my shopping after sending everyone else home, but no, everybody wanted to be with me - in the car. So, okaylah.
But then again, I took time to remember what other things we have ran out of, the things to stock ourselves with and the stuff we really need. Chicken needed time to chopping. The fish really needed to be selected. Couldn't remember which toothpaste type we usually take. Then running back and up the aisle for detergents, the softeners... Seeing a new type of softener and took a sniff at the new scent. Then remembering the simple pleasures, I left the cart again and ran to the soda aisle to grab his favourite six pack of A&W RootBeer.
At the cashier tills, I switched to two lanes. I had two people ahead of me. Maybe I was paranoid, all of them looked b*tchy at me. There was little that I could do with my smell. I naturally look pale. And so what with the hair that I couldn't control especially being at this length?!
Well, anyways. The cashier spoke with me very nicely. He was accommodative and had a rhythm to what he was doing. But it just bothered me that he had a self-tattooed heart shape in between his thumb and pointing finger. Why would one want to do it to oneself is a question.
Then of course, by the time I got back to the car I was greeted by unhappiness for having waited me over an hour (I was in for 1hr 15m). I was stumped because I was satisfied with my shopping where everybody got what everybody needed and would have wanted. And I did tell them I could go after everybody was sent home beforehand.
It went on until dinner. One said, no need for me to make the long awaited chicken rice. One repeated. One said it'll take too much time.
Haih.
By then I couldn't care less. Making chicken rice is only just one dish. Why should I sacrifice the rest of the items for the whole week for that one night? Because of the chicken rice, I bought 2 whole chickens! And I made them well. For the first time, I think I did this chicken rice at the fastest of speed, with the cleanest prep, fastest and cleanest clean up. They were ready slightly over an hour.
I just ate them. And I ate them with my heart. Why should I care about others if others don't care about me? I do things for them and they don't have consideration about me. I ate them in whole. And dished out 4 plates of rice. I let nobody bother me with any look or statement.
Brought myself out with a glass of cordial drink for a breather. Then I got distracted with this cat that lounges around the house lately, played with him for a while and when it.
I was tired. I was really tired. I have had insomnia for the past few weeks. I don't know when I've had more or less of sleep. My body can't tell. But I was feeling it that night.
Showered, let my dotter go up, down and over me while I slowly zoned out.
This morning when I woke up, I felt so-so. But my mood slowly went weary. I just hate it when you call people, they don't respond. Slow movements when I need to go already.
Then my maid asks me if it was me whom brought a glass out because now it's dead lying on the porch, partially. I was sad. That glass did a great deal of good to me.
My mouth was shut on the way to work. Didn't have anything to say.
Mood's off. I don't think I should dwell if this all is my fault for even feeling this way. I shouldn't. All I know is that this feeling sucks!

Rezeki Aku Hari Ni
Watikah hari ini adalah...
Hari ni saya berusaha untuk bershopping refreshment untuk ofis. Oleh kerana ada keperluan tengahari di luar ofis, saya ajak sekali kawan gi beli barang kat kedai.
Sesampai je kat kedai, aku tengok duit rupanya ada dalam belasan ringgit je. Sengal betul rasanya sebab area tu memang tak ada ATM. Harus ko pergi balik pusing one round and tempuh 3-4 traffic light just to get to one. Yang dah diambil dalam troli tu ada la confirm dekat 200 hengget. So keluarkanlah duit plastik. Nak buat cemana kan? Sekali masa garik-garik tu, aku dah teragak perkara itu boleh terjadi. Lately ni, kad kredit aku tu macam tak boleh dibaca. Dan maka, perkara itu pun terjadilah...
So mandangkan aku dah terlewat, aku terpaksa panggil bebudak yang tolong heret berkotak-kotak air mineral tu masuk balik ke dalam kedai. Nak bayar cemana kan? Dalam dompet pun ada 12 hengget je!
After lunch, I went la to cucuk wang. Tapi itu wang sangat wang besar kerana line panjang beratur yang ada baik aku gi makan sashimi pastu pi balik kat ATM tu pastu ulang sebanyak 2 kali berturut-turut.
Dengan patientnya, aku pun tubik kembali ke kedai tersebut sekor kambing. Dia kata dia dah pre-scan so they can just take the data off by keying in some ref no boleh terus get back the purchase info yang aku tak dapat beli earlier. Mereka pun terus mencuba sehinggakan 2 orang try on 3 separate cash tills. Mentara tu, again, barang-barang dah loading dalam itu kenderaan. Terpaksa bawak keluar barang-barang utama dan discan semula. Belum cukup itu, air mineral berkotak-kotak tu masa aku nak membayar baru perasan yang aku dah sauk 1.5L punya kotak. Haish. Terpaksa unload. Tunggu load 500ml sebanyak 4 kotak. Dan aku pun membayarnya. Itu semua telah mengambil masa selama 1 jam.
Sebaik saja balik dari opis, aku pun membelek resit. Mengapa murah pula sekotak mineral water ni ya? Murah sesangat. Gosok mata banyak kali sehingga hitam mata biru ku ini. Kalah Lindsay Lohan. Hitam terus cam Wolverine. Samar-samar bak halilintar. Ku kerut-kerut dahi. Semakin sinis pandangan ini. Terus aku jadi puitis jiwa penuh misteri.
Mereka telah caj 4 kotak 500ml mineral water sebanyak RM0.60 sekotak = Total RM2.40 untuk 24botol sekotak x 4 kotak = 96 botol air 500ml mineral water. ... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... kena la nak gi balik kedai tu jap lagi ni. Tak larat aku. Aku juga tak sanggup nak bagi orang minum underpaid mineral water. Tunggu je lah sampai time balik ofis terus.
Kalau di Twitter, aku hashtagkan terus perkara ini sebagai #sengalnya. Kerana itu semua benar belaka.
Rezeki aku pada hari ini. At least it confirms yang bukan aku sorang je yang pening lalat. Heh.

Bicycle
Watikah hari ini adalah...
A few months ago, the kids were going about getting themselves bicycles. Sorang confident gila kata nak beskal 2 tayar. Kon.pi.den. Sesungguhnya. Then sorang lagi pun nak gak beskal. Dan dan Adik pun nak, "Nak ikelkiti... (Nak beskal Hello Kitty)" Mana pun entah nak carik Ikelkiti dia tatau. Janji bukan aku yang nak kena carik sebab, ITU, perjanjian antara bapak ngan anaknya.
Since Abang Long was so confident nak beskal 2 tayar, we gave him the benefit of doubt. Bukannya apa, the kids in our housing area, umur 5-6 tahun pun dah guna 2 tayar je. So bapaknya suruh dia try kat depan kedai beskal tu.
