For The Record

I have been very lazy these days. Also, I'm so into Mafia Wars in the Internet that I hardly surf anything else whenever I'm online. That game could get really addictive!

Still, I have to update a few things. Here not only the place to vent anger and frustration or untuk 'syok sendiri', but also to place 'important' events which I may forget later as I become ancient and forgetful. It's also like a log book or a diary. I even refer to my older posts when deciding whose kampung we should go back to for raya celebration.

So, what have we up to for the past month?

July 31-Aug 1 - We were back in Malacca. Mother- and Father-in-law had a solat hajat and small kenduri. The guess was Ustaz Badrulamin. Quite many people turned up, also to give their support to our 'cause' - Stop the 70- over-hectare commercial memorial project being built in the kampung. We realise we are losing the 'battle'. But we believe we have done our best. When we look back later, we know, at least we have fought against it. Anyway, It's not the end yet. Who knows Allah has some good news for us... we're still hopeful...

July 18-19: We had a family gathering in Port Dickson, the nearest place where most of us could go. The cousins spent most of the time in the pool (the only attraction in the place, pity..!) and the beach, while the grown-ups were either busy looking after the children or talking and updating on what we had missed. I was not feeling well, down with cough and cold. But A and Sy were happy as usual.

June 4-June 14: School holidays and I was given a leave from work. We were in Terengganu for about 8 days. Sy was 'gifted' with chicken pox. Or was it just measles? But being a happy-go-lucky and active child, he was lasak as usual. A was at her Mak Su's house all the time. I notice, every time we go home, Malacca or Terengganu, we always have trouble disciplining them ... hopeless!.

Nephew Fakh had 'grown up tremendously', he spoke and played better. Fakh reminds me of Bro Z, his father, in his baby days. Fair, chubby, manja and ganas at the same time. Didn't get to meet Bro M and his family though, because he was buzy completing his site project. Insyaallah, I hope we catch each other during the next school holiday.


Now, A is back to school as usual. After school, she and Sy spend the rest of their day at home fighting, crying and playing at the same time and messing up the house. Sometimes, they can get really noisy, like there are more than 10 children in the house. Oh, I have learnt to ignore the noises and the mess so well, like I don't care much anymore if the house is like 'tongkang pecah'. I tidy up when I have the time and energy. I realise I can't be that 'proper', else, there is no more fun in life. As it is, our life has not been that 'smooth and easy'. So I better be 'easy' with how life turns out for us.

If it's up to me, there are so many things I want to complain about. The list is endless. But I realise my complaints have not changed much of things, so I guess I better try to shut up more often and...


ENJOY LIFE while it unfolds its mysteries!
