Welcome Ramadhan

We balik kampung from Sept 21th till 27th, although my leave had started since Sept 18th. Am only quit his job on 20th and our car was still sick. We actually borrowed our brother- in-law's kembara. Lucky he has two cars. A was very happy, so was Sy. Am as usual very tired as he was the only driver. We had three puasa days in Terengganu. The last day I ended up cooking tomyam after having a 'big fight' with Am, resulting him to merajuk and leave the cooking job to me. But surprise, surprise it turned out quite nice. A in fact had bowls of tomyam with beehoon. And as usual after berbuka, Am and I were back to being nice to each other. He ate the tomyam too. Prior to going back to Terengganu, we spent almost two days in Malacca. Ayah was not that well. A sickness he has yet to find out what the culprit is. He's been living on bubur nasi since Day One Ramadhan.

Maybe it's due to Ramadhan, Am and I argue less nowadays. Well, who has energy to shout and being shouted back when we're very tired and sleepy with empty stomach.

Sy is very active and talkactive. He climbs chairs, balcony, me, the sister, the father. He also bites all sort of things he can lay his hand on, including my arm. He's one happy kid, who cries easily for attention. So contrast eh. He's happy as he smiles a lot, but he also manja and likes to cling to me.

A has so much interest in prayers these days. She does her 'solat' many times in a day. She can perform solat in the wee hour of the day ... hehehe. She can be a makmun to Am, and I sometimes noticed Am having problem concentrating whe she starts doing her sujud and stumbles backward. But how she performs it doesn't matter. What matters to me that she has interest in solat although she's only two going three years old.

We're pretty broke these days, although we are still able to makan as usual. But I've yet to buy raya clothes for the kids. I will in the next few days. Maybe when I'm off next week. And if we have extra, we'll buy for ourselves as well. To my husband and I, new clothes are not important. We just wear what is our wardrobe. Many are still in good condition. Thank God, we're not the fashionable type.

In the office, things are as usual. I have moved to our new office, which is quite comfortable. I adapted to this new place quite fast. I'm not really fussy. After all, this is only workplace. My real place is home sweet home.
