Shop till u drop!

Weekend lepas was the most exhausted weekend ever..tak penah aku rasa macam nak tercabut kaki...

We went to Bukit Bintang Area...memula pegi Sg. Wang as we parked our car there, then strolled to Low Yatt Plaza to buy mama's web cam & babah's company printer..then off to Pavillion Plaza...

Keluar rumah kul 12 tgh...sampai Sg. Wang pusing2 carik parking...2-3 kali pusing jumpa pon...then naik ke Sg. Wang tu...jalan kat area Lower Ground Floor..aku dah attack World Of Cartoon punya sale banner....wahhhhh meriah banget nih...tapi my excitement diminished by abang yang tetiba jek tarik tangan aku keluar...dia kata jom pegi Low Yatt dulu...so, pegi la Low Yatt...Adam dok dalam stroller, behave baik sangat...so angkut naik tangga yang tinggi kat Low Yatt tu...sampai sana dapatla beli web cam dengan good bargain i think...pastu abang sibuk nak beli printer company dia...carik punya carik punya carik dapat la HP printer harganya RM 115...murah kan???? aku pun sambil nyelam minum air beli Kingston 2GB Pen Drive..yang ni leh claim yang company as aku guna tu utk projek yang aku handle...heheheh...dengan kotak printer yang gedabak tu aku suruh abang gi letak dalam keta dulu, aku tungu kat W.O.C Sg. Wang...hehheheh time ni la aku amek kesempatan menyopping....masuk W.O.C tu aku tgk t-shirt pooh sekali ngan seluar jeans RM 31.90 jek...aku pun rembat la satu, pastu beli 2 lagi T-Shirt jalan untuk Adam..murah betul! Geram jek aku tgk...

Pastu jalan-jalan kat Sg. Wang tu, dah mati kutu nak gi mana aku ajak abang gi makan...so, lepak kat Nandos..makan 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines..nyum nyum...Aku nak tukarkan diapers Adam, carik2 baby's room kat Sg, Wang tu, tak berjumpa la pulak..so masa kat Nandos tu aku dok kat open air section...pilih kat tepi2 jek, senang leh sandar2...aku pun suruhla abang dirikan Adam, sebab nak took off Drypers dia then pakaikan Mami Poko Pants tu, tak yah baring2 kan..sekali bila aku cabut jek Drypers dia, dia pancut da...betul2 pancut kat pokok-pokok idup hiasan Nandos tu...heheheh tengok kiri kanan tak de pun staf diorang...lega...aku ngan abang dah terkekek-kekek gelak..pakaikan dia poko pants tu then terus aku mintak baby's chair...masa nak letak chair tu, budak Nandos tu alihkan kerusi, dia tgk basah sket kat lantai tu, terus dia kata jap eh kak, saya lap air ni dulu, takut licin....aku pun ala2 angguk la kan...dalam hati dah gelak sakan dah ni....Adam pon ngan muka tak bersalah duduk dengan amannya dalam baby chair itu....siap jerit suka tgk orang lalu lalang lagi!



















Habis makan, nak pegi Pavillion pulak..nak tgk apa yang bestnyer kat mall yang besar bagak tu...before nak lintas tu ada la one agent streamyx ni approach...aku pun mmg nak apply streamyx kan, so dengar celoteh dia dulu...then aku decide ok la, daftar jek kat situ sebab aku malas nak gi TMNet...lepas tu jalan gi Pavillion...Dah sampai sana, best la jugak, besaaaarrr sungguh sampai aku rasa banyak bazirkan ruang la shopping mall ni...aku pandang atas nampak level butik baby & kids..so, naik situ aku pun masuk la Pumpkin Patch...ada satu Vest ni, cantik sangat...less 50%..tapi Adam pakai muat-muat la pulak...satu helai lagi yang display kat patung...nak je aku suruh bogelkan patung tu..tapi tgk cam kaler dia dah pudar sket, so tak jadik...masuk baby Gap tapi tak de yang berkenan, aku masuk Okaidi pulak...berkenan kat satu cap ni, abang lak tak berkenan...masuk mothercare, tapi rasa cam not a good bargain jek beli kalau beli kat situ...keluar carik tempat duduk..kaki aku rasa nak patah ni...nasib baik pakai marie jane, kalau hills tercabut dah kaki aku...

So, sambung jalan nampak Adidas, masuk situ nak carikkan Adam sandal, sebab Superstar Crib dia dah muat2 jek..so yang aku berkenan tak de saiz, belikan dia satu sandal simple jek kaler ciru, after bayar, terus pakaikan...pastu aku dah tak tahan sakit kaki aku cakap ngan abang, jom la balik!....aku try la masuk baby's room kat Pavillion tu, sekali tu hampeh! Masuk situ, yang ada hanyalah paip & sinki, tak de work top utk salin diapers ke, nursing cubicle ke...ntah hapa-hapa ntah...

So, keluar situ terus balik rumah..sampai rumah dalam kul 6.30...Adam dah tido kepenatan dah...aku rehat jap, kemas barang2 yang beli tadi..pastu amek minyak panas urut betis aku yang rasa macam nak pecah sakit ni....masa aku picit kaki tu, abang siap senyum2 sambil cakap " Puas jalan ma?????"<--ayat ni keluar sebab aku komplen kat dia Saturday asikkkk keje je, tak bawak aku keluar jalan-jalan pun, sambil tarik muncung 14 aku...sekian la saja weekend ku yang amattt penat nih...padan muka aku nak jalan sangat kan....

Yes, this is what i do....

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)[?]
Pisces
The Bottom Line

Has someone been putting you under pressure to be perfect lately? Just ignore them.
In Detail

Has someone been putting you under pressure to be perfect lately? Ignore them. Shake loose of their appraising gaze and invite them to focus on someone else for a while -- like themselves. You add sunshine into the lives of most of the people you touch, so why worry about one person who is still stuck in the own fog? Let go of the few missteps you have been making -- after all, everyone else who matters already has. Reorganize your social circle to leave unhealthy people outside of it.

Macam mana ek????

Aku heran sampai ke pagi ni...alkisah nyer...

Semalam kitorang balik kul 7 camtu sampai umah dah, pastu aku pun buat keje cam biasa la, semayang, makan, nengok TV...Adam golek2 nak tido dalam kul 9 camtu..aku pun pelagi, golek2 sama la sambil layan tgk bola chelsea vs Aston Villa. 5 minit pastu Adam tertido dah, aku pun dah pejam-pejam-celik tahan bijik mata nih..last2 aku cakap ngan hubby nak tido la...aku pun terus la ternguap2 nak lelap ni...baru je lelap dalam 5 minit aku rasa, hubby aku kejut..aku tgk muka dia cam gelabah je...

Dia cakap gi bukak lampu, aku pun gi la..pastu aku nampak dia pegang facial cotton aku & dia tarik tangan aku masuk bilik..aku mula la pikir amende la dia ni...dia cakap " tengok ni..." sambil tarik tangan aku, aku ingat kot dia jumpa apa-apa dalam bilik..sekali tu dia letak facial cotton tu kat atas meja solek, dia selak cotton tu...nak tau apa? aku dah mula tegak-tegak bulu tengkuk ni...aku tak nak selak cotton tu,takut...dia bukak then tunjuk kat aku...KATAK KECIK! Katak kaler coklat, kecik giler...terperanjat aku tengok...

Mana tak terperanjat, umah aku tingkat 9, pintu & tingkap semua kunci..umah aku tak de pokok2 ijau yang lembab2 yang memungkinkan katak leh idup kat situ...aku tanya abang, mana jumpa, dia kata tengah dia baring2 dia nampak katak tu merangkak dari pintu bilik menuju je tempat kitorang baring2 kat hall tu...katak tu macam helpless dah...slow mo giler merangkak nyer...abang kata terus dia capai facial cotton aku dalam bilik dia tekup katak tu, then dia amek air yaasin yang mak mentua aku bekalkan untuk adam, dia selawat, baca ayat kursi, renjis air tu..then u know...katak tu MATI!

Aku tak nak la expect all the spooky things kan, maklum le penakut pahit...aku call ayah kat umah mak..tanya amende nih? Katak leh terbang ke? Naik sampai tingkat 9 pulak..Ayah aku cakap masuk kat dalam botol la, esok bawak datang umah dia nak tgk...so, abang emptied Adam's Cotton Buds, then letak dalam bekas tu....aku masih lagi seram-seram sejuk...abang ngan aku dua2 diam je...penyudahnyer aku tak leh tido lepas tu...Aku suruh abang bukak seua lampu bilik, toilet, dapur, yard, entrance..abis terang benderang kitorang tido semalam...tapinya aku malas nak pikir benda-benda ntah hapa-hapa ni..lantak la, janji dia tak kacau aku anak beranak, kot le katak tu nak tumpang dok umah aku jap...

Abang dok pikir sampai kerut2 dahi, dia baru je bersihkan rumah sebersih-bersihnya sampai alih2 perabut buang habuk, sapu sampah, mop lantai, vakum carpet semua, tak de pulak nampak katak tu...lantak le...kalau korang, korang pikir apa?

Adam lagi...nak masuk 8 bulan weekend ni..













Ni la hobi adam bila kat umah...habis babah kena jadik horse layan dia main...skrg ni Adam :

- Makin lasak...kengkadang tak tahan. Dia suka ikut kepala dia je & crying with no reason
- Tak boleh larang or amek benda2 yang dia nak main or else dia akan menjerit-jerit sampai kita bagi balik
- Dah boleh bergerak ke depan macam ulat bulu bila meniarap...yes, i knew it seems a little bit late (ye la nak masuk 8 bulan dah kan..) tapi bergerak dengan lajunya kali ni...
- Dah tak makan bubur blend lagi..makan bubur ngan sup
- Dah tak allergic to beef & chicken..
- Dah pandai tengok lampu & kipas when we said " Adam..where is lamp..where is fan??"
- Dah pandai babai orang...

Semuanya dah pandai je ek...part yang tak best pulak....
- Tak reti pegang botol susu, sama cam kes naufal, son of iszan, bagi handle sekali tu je la dia pegang...petua aku pun tak jalan...
- Bila kita tunjuk flash card, baru ajar 4 card camtu, dia terus menguap & doze off...
- Suka amek mainan orang lain la..ni yang tak best..mainan sendiri berlambak-lambak, tapi apa yang sepupu-sepupu dia punya dia yang main..abis ditariknya anak buah aku punya play gym sampai koyak...
- Kalau nak golek-golek, mama & babah kena ada sama, kalau salah sorang bangun, nanti dia nangis jerit-jerit..just imagine kalau kitorang nak bangun kena slow2 mengundur or merangkak tak bagi dia nampak...

tu je la takat yang aku ingat...nanti sambung balik la, tengah selsema & batuk ni tak de mood dibuatnya...chow chin chow..

Phewww...

At Last...i'm successfully close account for one project...another two await...
Berjaya mengurangkan kerugian company..(even i won't get any credit for that!)...tapi dek kerana nak kurangkan LOST MARGINni la aku :

- tak de weekend for the whole one month +
- masam-masam muka ngan abang sebab aku committed pada keje ter x-tra pulak...
- naik blood pressure...tadi gi check jeng jeng jeng... 140/106..tinggi kan?
- tiap2 minggu suffered kena flu & demam...ni pun tgh selsema + batuk...
- kurang vitamin, badan letih, cepat marah..

Here Some More..




yeay...2 times Adam is more like me...hahahhaha

2nd Look Alike Meter

More on Adam

Lama tak cerita pasal anak bujangku seorang ni..now he can shows his preferences towards toys & peoples. Orang tak kenal jangan harapla..even my in-laws pun he's very selective, with tok ok, wan don't want, mak su no no no, pak ngah ok la pulak...but with my siblings and of course atok & nenek, semua dia nak..

Now i just wait for his first incisors to pop out. According to my mom, it seems like he's going to has his first teeth very soon coz he keeps biting all sort of fabric and chewing his lower lip. Macam tak percaya je gigi dia nak tumbuh, ye la..merangkak pun tak. But Adam can sit on his own without any support at the back and of course u've to help him to sit at first!

Hmmm last Thursday went to Citibank to collect my new replacement card and i made a reward redemption on my accumulate points. Then i decided to redeem more Adam's stuff...hohoohoho here comes Playgo Baby's Play Table. Got it this morning by courier sent to my office. Quite nice la, got various type of toys on top of the table.





Can't wait to see his reaction when he sees me carry this thing back home!

Weekend Stories

As for the past 3 weeks...Saturday kena keje...bencinye....datang opis pukul 10 pagi balik pukul 7.15pm.So i spent the whole 9 hours non-stop struggling on the claims to be submitted end of this weeks..phewwww lega coz manage to achieve targetted amount. So, next week back to normal again as those three weekends i had no life ok! Balik rumah Adam tengah tido..

Sunday, went on as we planned before. Went out from home at 12pm, fetched my sister at my mom's, sped to SS14, digital mall yang tersorok kedudukannya...berpusing-pusing kitorang carik last-last punyalah buruk bangunannya (buruk for me la..).Suddenly i thought i've been here sometime before. Survey2 handphone coz ada prize crash, and Sunday was the last day. Yes! they sold phones at the cost price and less at least RM200 from the market price. Very cheap la coz u can get a samsung new phone yang sungguh cantik itu complete with 2gb memory card at RM 1000. Luckily aku tak tergoda (even ada rasa tergoda sket2 la), maka selamatlah duit aku dari membeli handphone..Dah riki-riki tak de yang berkenan pulak..ada yang berkenan pun harga was not as expected...so keluar dari situ and terus ke Sogo.

I was planning to buy Adam's thing but end up dengan beli my jeans (yeay! finally i got new pair of jeans), abang's pants and abang's shoes. Kasut tu as a birthday present for abang. Even his birthday is on 10th, but he couldn't wait some more..so beli kasut Bonia..nak beli HP, Renoma, Martelli, Clark ke tak de size for my hubby's cute little feet, just imagine he wear size 5 shoes! God..punya la susah nak carik.Kengkadang kesian sebab dah minat kasut tu tak de size pulak. There's only 3 or 4 brands which have size 5. Harga ada discount, so dapat murah sket..

Dah penat round dalam sogo tu, Adam sampai 3 kali tido dah, parents nyer tak abis nyopping lagi..last2 perut dah berdendang pegi food court, makan time la! Abis makan apalagi..chow la..kitorang keluar dari Sogo pukul 6.40 camtu..balik singgah umah mak hantar my sis then lepak2 kejap balik Ampang...Singgah beli susu Adam then baru balik..Mandikan bujang kecik tu, bagi makan fruit puree and dia golek2 terus tido...

So, malam tu kitorang cuti makan sebab macam exhausted sangat pegi shopping kali ni..nak carik DVD The Devil's Wear Prada, tapi kedai DVD tu tak bukak pulak..hmm pelagi?? tido la...

~~ Your Baby's Type ~~

When you tally up your letters, chances are that you'll have picked predominantly one or two. As you read the descriptions below, re­member that we're talking about a way of being in the world here, not an occasional mood or a type of behaviour associated with a difficulty, such as colic, or a particular developmental milestone, like teething. You'll probably recognise your baby in the following thumbnail sketches, or perhaps she's a bit like this, a bit like that. Read all five descriptions. I've exemplified each profile with a baby I've met who fits it almost exactly.

A.The Angel baby..
As you might expect, this is the kind of baby every first-time-pregnant woman imagines herself to have: good as gold. Pauline is such a baby-mellow, eternally smiling, and consistently undemanding. Her cues are easy to read. She's not bothered by new surroundings, and she is extremely portable-in fact, you can take her anywhere. She feeds, plays, and sleeps easily, and usually doesn't cry when she wakes up. You'll find Pauline babbling in her crib most mornings, talking to a stuffed animal or just amus­ing herself by staring at a stripe on the wall. An Angel baby often can calm herself down, but if she gets a little overtired, perhaps be­cause her cues were misread, all you have to do is snuggle her and tell her, "I can see that you're overtired." Then, turn on a lullaby, make the room nice and dim and quiet, and she will put herself to sleep.

B.The Textbook baby..
This is our predictable baby, and as such, he's fairly easy to handle. Oliver does everything on cue, so there are few surprises with him. He reaches all the milestones right on schedule-sleeps through the night by three months, rolls over by five, sits up by six. He'll have growth spurts like clockwork­periods during which his appetite will suddenly increase because he's putting on extra body weight or making a developmental leap. Even as young as a week, he can play on his own for short periods­fifteen minutes or so-and he'll coo a lot and look around. And he smiles when someone smiles at him. Though Oliver has normal cranky periods, just like the books describe, he's easy to calm. It's not hard to get him to sleep, either.

C.The Touchy baby..
For an ultrasensitive baby like Michael, the world is an endless array of sensory challenges. He flinches at the sound of a motorcycle revving outside his window, the TV blaring, a dog barking in the house next door. He blinks or turns his head away from bright light. He sometimes cries for no apparent reason, even at his mother.At those moments, he's shouting (in his baby lan­guage), "I've had enough-I need some peace and quiet." He often gets fussy after a number of people have held him, or after outings. He'll play on his own for a few minutes, but he needs the reassur­ance that someone he knows well-Mum, Dad, a nanny-is close by. Because this type of baby likes to suck a lot, Mum may misread his cues and think he's hungry when he'd do just as well on a dummy. He also nurses erratically, sometimes acting as though he's forgotten how. At nap time and at night, Michael often has dif­ficulty falling asleep. Touchy babies like him easily get off schedule, because their systems are so fragile. An extra-long nap, a skipped meal, an unexpected visitor, a trip, a change in formula-any of these things can throw Michael for a loop. To calm the Touchy baby, you have to re-create the womb. Swaddle him tightly, snuggle him into your shoulder, whisper a rhythmic sh . . . sh . . . sh sound (like the splashing of fluid in the womb) close to his ear, and pat his back gently, mimicking a heartbeat. (This, by the way, will calm most babies, but it works especially well with a Touchy baby.) When you have a Touchy baby, the quicker you learn his cues and his cries, the simpler life is. These babies love structure and predictability­.No hidden surprises, thank you.

D.The Spirited baby...
This is a baby who seems to emerge from the womb knowing what she likes and doesn't like, and she won't hesi­tate to let you know it. Babies like Karen are very vocal and even seem aggressive at times. She often screams for Mum or Dad when she gets up in the morning. She hates lying in her own pee or poo, and she says "Change me" by boisterously vocalising her discom­fort. Indeed, she babbles a lot and loudly. Her body language tends to be a bit jerky. Karen often needs swaddling to get to sleep, be­cause her flailing arms and legs keep her up and overstimulated. If she starts crying and the cycle is not interrupted, it's like a point of no return, and her crying leads to more crying until she's reached a fever pitch of rage. A spirited baby is likely to grab for her bottle at an early age. She'll also notice other babies before they notice her, and as soon as she's old enough to develop a good, firm grasp, she'll grab their toys as well.

E.The Grumpy baby.
I have a theory that babies like Gavin have been here before-they're old souls, as we call them-and they're not all that happy to be back. I may be wrong, of course, but whatever the reason, I assure you this type of baby is downright mardy, as we say in Yorkshire-he's mad at the world and lets you know it. (My coauthor informs me that the Yiddish equivalent is farbissiner.) Gavin whimpers every morning, doesn't smile much during the day, and fusses his way to sleep every night. His mum has a lot of trouble keeping baby-sitters, because they tend to take this little guy's bad humour personally. He hated baths at first, and every time anyone tried to change or dress him, he was fidgety and irri­table. His mother had tried to breastfeed him, but she had a slow letdown (the pace of milk working its way down and through the nipple), and Gavin was impatient. Even though she switched him to formula, feeding is still difficult because of his cranky disposi­tion. To calm a Grumpy baby, it usually takes a patient mum or dad, because these babies get very angry and their cries are particu­larly loud and long. The sh . . . sh . . . sh has to be louder than the cry. They hate to be swaddled, and they certainly let you know it. If a Grumpy baby has reached a major meltdown, instead of shush­ing say, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay," in a rhythm while gently swaying front to back.

My meaningless weekend

Benci-benci-benci-benci!

Saturday - i'm working! The most hated! Start from 10am-5pm...giler..dah ler tak entitle OT..free-free je..hehe kena berkira sket, aku belajar not to be so pemurah dengan company ni..seposen pun kira jugak! Kesian Adam kena tinggal kat umah nenek lagi, mama tak de...

Sunday - Hihi aku cengelat tak pegi opis, sebab my hubby dah bagi jelingan manja yang menusuk kalbu tu..maka aku pun takut nak gi keje, pegi kenduri kawin pakcik aku kat Bandar Menjalara, Kepong...Grand gilest kenduri dia...buat kat dewan komuniti menjalara..dalam dewan muat 25 meja camtu, kat luar ada 8 fully scallop tents...makanan baaaanyyaaakkk sangat, siap ada mee bandung, mee jawa, mihun la, vadai, tosei..main course toksah cakap le, ada 7 lauk kot..tapi tak makan banyak pun sebab Adam dah kepisat-kepisat kepanasan...On the way pegi tu, jalan ampang tutup, ada Hindraf Strike, penuh kawasan Ampang Point tu dengan kaum hindu ni...aku tengok yang datang ni muda-muda yang banyak, yang rambut jambul2 merah ni (sorry no offense ok!)..jem jalan sebab polis tutup jalan nak naik ke flyover ampang - bangunan risda tu...Balik dari kenduri, jalan dah ok, aku singgah rumah MIL sampai petang...

Ada ke Adam dah 2 minggu buat perangai tak nak ngan my in-laws...dia tertido biasanya bila sampai tu, dah tu bila bangun, dia meraung sekuat hati...pastu nangis sampai tersedu-sedan..kena la bawak gi jalan-jalan dulu, calm him down...pastu dah le berkepit je ngan babah & mama, aku bukannyer apa, kecik ati pulak MIL aku tu kang, cucu kesayangan tak nak ngan dia..hubby aku toksah cakap le, muka dah kelat, muncung boleh ikat (eh macam pantun 2 kerat pulak)..pandang aku slack je..nak salahkan aku la tu..maklumle, aku sedikit bz lately, so takde masa sangat nak berjalan-jalan, kunjung mengunjung ni...hmmm lantak le...

One thing made me happy was...Adam can sit on his own at last..tak payah pegang or sokong ngan apa-apa dahhh, tapi kena dudukkan dia la coz dia tak merangkak pun so camana nak duduk kan...tapi nak feed dia dah makin senang, nak dok kan dia dalam stroller pun dah senang...macam tuan besar bila duduk dalam stroller tu...tak main dah baring-baring ni..bawak gi shopping pun senang dah, sebab boleh duduk kat troli...

So, Monday yang separa indah ni terjejas sedikit sebab aku sakit tekak, suara sengau..rasa nak demam + mmg akan kena selsema punya la ni...till then chow!

Kisah-Rumahku Hampir Dipecah Masuk..

Semalam, aku balik umah lepas maghrib, so sampai ampang dalam pukul 8. Adam tido. Masa tu ujan renyai-renyai lagi..dengan berlari2 anak aku sorong stroller adam & abang sarat barat dengan barang2 menuju ke lif. Dekat2 nak sampai lif tu dengar kecoh-kecoh orang bercakap. Masuk lif pakcik guard tu bagi tau harini masa tgh ujan lebat tadi ada 4 kejadian pecah rumah kat situ. 2 kat blok A, 2 kat blok B. Aku dok blok C. Aku ngan rais dok menganga dengar cerita couple yang rumah dia kena pecah tu, diorang dok tingkat 13. Modus operandi pencuri-pencuri tu ialah pecahkan solex pintu depan, masuk rumah, curik barang berharga i.e laptop, digi cam, PS2, barang kemas. Dah curik barang, diorang keluar & gantikan padlock yang dah pecah tu dengan padlock yang baru...so tuan rumah tak leh la masuk umah bila balik nanti...

Kitorang naik lif sambil dengar cerita diorang tu, so bila sampai tingkat 9 aku pun keluarla kan...sambil jalan menuju rumah tu aku cakap ngan rais, eii takut la bang, dah ada pecah2 rumah pulak...pastu aku tgk kat balcony luar dekat dapur umah aku ada kotak padlock yang dah kosong ngan ada puntung rokok..aku dah berderau darah dah, aku cakap kat rais ni apsal ada kotak padlock kat sini pulak ni??? rais pandang aku, aku pandang dia, dua-dua berkejar ke grille main door umah...SAH! SOLEX AKU CALAR-BALAR, GRILLE AKU SOPEK CAT NYA....aku tgk pulak lubang padlock solex aku tu, dah tersumbat! so, kunci aku tak leh masuk utk bukak pintu grille tu....Rais terus bukak solex grille opening yard aku, dia lompat masuk dalam rumah tgk ada barang ilang tak...1st thing yang dia check ialag...TABUNG ADAM!..penuh tu tabung botol susu besar tu, penuh ngan duit raya adam & duit syiling dia...pastu dia gi check bilik depan, sebab kat situ work station kitorang, dia tgk laptop & PC semua ada...haaa lega sikit...

Aku gi tanya jiran-jiran cina aku yang dua orang tu, diorang pun tak dengar orang ketuk2 since ujan sangatla lebatnya kan..diorang tutup pintu sebab tempias & one more thing balcony kitorang tu sangatla gelapnyer sebab lampu automatik on pukul 7 malam sampai 7 pagi je...diorang pun terperanjat beruk bila aku cakap rumah aku ada orang cuba nak pecah masuk..pastu panggil pulak sorang lagi jiran aku, yang ni melayu..abang ni AJK Persatuan Penduduk kat situ, dia pun terperanjat..dia call kan chief guard & polis...dalam setengah jam camtu, guard datang bawah cutter yang macam gunting besar tu nak potong padlock aku yang dah tersumbat tu....nasib baik adam ok, diam je..heran tengok orang ramai-ramai agaknye..rupa-rupanya guard tu cakap, masuk rumah aku ada 6 bijik rumah yang kena pecah, 4 berjaya masuk, 2 lagi tak dapat masuk...and semua rumah tu ilang laptop!


Guard potong pakai cutter pun tak leh gak pecahkan padlock umah aku tu..so, uncle yang duduk depan rumah offer pakai grinder dia...pakai grinder tu pun dekat 15 minit baru putus padlock tu...huhu sopek-sopek cat grille aku...siot punya pencurik! Tepat 9.25 malam kitorang dapat masuk rumah....aaahhh lega, alhamdulillah tak de barang-barang yang ilang, aku rasa diorang pakai electronic device yang boleh detect laptop tu la...laptop aku kan ke kat bili paling depan..tu yang senang kot! sepuluh minit lepas tu, polis 2 orang datang, amek statement abang, amek gambar semua...dah settle tu semua baru teringat malam ni nak kunci umah ngan apa? dah satu hal pulak nak mencarik solex malam-malam buta ni...abang terus bergegas turun nak pegi bandar baru ampang tgk kedaimana yan bukak lagi...luckily Pasaraya Bintang tu baru nak tarik roller shutter dia, abang mintak nak masuk beli padlock, emergency nih...kali ni aku beli padlock yang macam handbag tu..amek kau sebijik kurang seposen tiga puluh hengget! dua bijik aku beli habis la 60 hengget malam2 tu....tak pe la, for family safety...

So, malam itu kami semua tido dalam sedikit rasa ketakutan & penat...dalam kul 12 camtu, abang cakap dia nampak guard round tengok satu2 rumah dan kunci ke belum...tapi tu la, dok dalam guarded area pun boleh jadik camni..

For you all readers, please beware & do keep your valuable belongings in the safest place, ensure your padlock is the high quality one!

I Feel Like I Want To Quit...

i dont know how many time i repeat this statement : i want to quit this job

i really really want to go but the market demand for this industry which requires men more than women makes me think twice...i cannot stand anymore, i'm overloaded. Back home i still thinking of my unsettled works, makes me migrain and HBP...i can't sleep at night just because of thinking about these never-ending-story...

I'm afraid of my boss's expectation of me, i'm afraid if i can't achieve what he wants me to achieve.

It's hard, very-very hard to continue inherited works, especially from someone who obviously disorganized..its even harder to coupe everything about the project, every single detail i mean, in less than a month..everyone knows this is the most critical project and a lot of variations (just imagine it's cost double from the budgetted amount)..what the heck!

I feel like i want to cry, cry outloud, but no one will sympathy on me as i'm the only one left here....
