I am still on leave, may be sambung terus with my maternity leave. I am already in 37 weeks, so I hope it won't be long. I am so uncomfortable. Anyway, today tak pegi mana-mana as Amir already started work and Aisyah starts schooling today. But tommorrow, she doesn't want to go to school. Dia kata ramai yang tak datang and dah tak belajar. Well, she already had the final exam before Hari Raya. Taha datang rumah hantar laptop. Thank you very much. I gave him tiga biji buah mangga. Buah mangga depan rumah. Pokok tu berbuah masa puasa, I guess budak-budak yang biasanya ambik buah mangga tu, either tak ade tinggal lagi sini or sebab rasa berdosa ambik buah tu masa bulan puasa. Tak tahulah but kami merasalah buah tu masak. Kalau tak, memang sempat tengok aje. Paling hebat, sempat ambik yang muda, buat kerabu.
Anyway, life has been so monotonous. Nothing much to do except browse internet. baca newspaper and masak. Yes, I cook. Since Bibik ada untuk tolong, rajinlah jugak untuk masak sebab ada orang kemas.
See you in a bit. Doakan I beranak cepat skit and of course dgn selamatlah.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all. Sekiranya ada salah dan silap,mohon maaf dari hujung rambut hinggga hujung kaki.
A day before Raya:
Last night, mak, ayah, opah, Ain and Bibik Ah datang bertandang ke rumah for bukak puasa and menghantar rendang and kuah kacang. Bibik telah dihantar ke rumah mak early in the morning to help mak prepare for the rendang and kuah kacang. I stayed home to prepare for the bukak puasa. Started cooking at 3.30 pm and completed everything by 5.30 pm. Bukak puasa was good with lots of dishes yang tak terhabis dimakan. Well, everybody was tired with the raya preparation. Earlier, Amir went to rumah Wan Nyah to prepare lemang. I did not know that he ordered 3 batang lemang. I already ordered 30 bijik of ketupat daun palas from Kak Nafisah. Nasib baik I ordered the smaller version.
After the bukak puasa, we received a sad news from kampung. Anak Mak Dak, Fuad passed away in an accident with water buffalo (kerbau). He was going to Gopeng to buy himself baju raya after bukak puasa and solat. Tengah jalan, dia berlanggar dengan kerbau yang sedang tidur atas jalan. Ayah bercerita, a few years back, Fuad kena tanduk kerbau. Lama dia kat hospital. Kesudahannya, dia mati terlanggar kerbau pulak. Kalau dah tertulis di Azali lagi, apa nak buat. But the things was, we felt a little bit funny (probably insensitive) to the fact that Fuad's fate has got to do with kerbau!! Anyway, mak and ayah will be going back to kampung menziarah Mak Dak. I was obviously tak baliklah, I am already in my 36 weeks & 4 days!!

Hari Raya........ called mak kat kampung. All the men went to masjid for sembahyang raya. Mak tak sempat nak ikut dia orang. Tinggallah all the ladies kat rumah. Mintak ampun and all, berkirim salam pada semua before I put down the phone. Boring betul raya ni. We were waiting for mak and ayah to come to our house, before heading to rumah Ayah Nyah.
Bibik telefon Indonesia to speak with her family. Apa lagi, hujan di pagi rayalah, Kakak bagi sekotak tissue pada Bibik. So sorrylah, I eavesdropped her conversation. Adalah yang I faham.
Bibik:
Tuan & Puan amat baik, belikan baju and tudung. Ummi (she called herself ummi jugak) yang pilih sendiri. Ibu puan jugak amat baik. Tak dibagi buat kerja, tidak penat. Tengok TB (TV)......bla-bla, bla-bla........
he he, frankly, since dia pun tak bergaji lagi, I felt oblige to buy her something. In fact I guess those are the benefits as an employer to give to the employee. Yelah, makan minum, barang-barang personal and medical tu semuanya covered. Once a year, bonus in term of baju raya, probably one month salary paid in December coz she got no leave or any off day on Sunday.
Mak and ayah sampai at 11.00 am, We went straight to rumah Ayah Nyah. My goodness, ramainya orang. All his anak-anak except Yop Edi and kak Yong, all his cucu were there. Ambik-ambik gambar, bagi duit raya to the kids etc etc(the usual stuff). Then we went to rumah Opah Mizun kat Hulu Langat. Stayed there until almost 2.30 pm. Bibik dah resah gelisah nak balik. Yelah, dia tak kenal sapa-sapa. Thought of nak pegi rumah kak Yong kat Bangi lepas tu, I said to Amir, Bibik dah resah nak balik rumah and kita pun tak sembahyang lagi. We went straight home and spent the whole afternoon, membuta!!! What a hari raya, tak ada kick langsung!!
25 Oct 2006
The whole morning was, basically nothing happen. Kakak dah resah gelisah nak pegi jalan. Amir ajak pegi rumah Kak Yong lepas zohor nanti. Bibik tak nak ikut. Fine with me, I am getting bored myself. Nasib baik ada Amir's laptop ni so here I am......
See you in a bit if I tak beranak lagi. Frankly, I am so uncomfortable, my belly is so huge, I could hardly sleep at night and my mouth feel bitter all the time, I can't wait actually.

Memang malas nak update blog sekarang ni. Tak ade cerita except cerita my Bibik Indon. So far, oklah rajin memang rajin sampai I naik annoyed asyik tanya ada kerja lagi ke nak buat. Weekend lepas, dia pi basuh kerata. Tak suruh pun tapi bila bangun tidur, kereta tu dah berkilat. Dia basuh pakai pun tak tahu. Lupa nak tanya. Cakap kat Amir, bibik basuh kereta. Dia kata tak payahlah suruh, bukan I suruh, Bibik was up from 4.00 am, semua dia dah buat. By 9.00 am, dia dah complete semua. Dia nampak kereta tu kotor, dia basuhlah. I said to Amir, biarlah.
Hari tu, Bibik tanya koran di atas tu mau dibuang atau tidak. I said, buat apa nak buang Al Quran. Itu koran, Bibik tunjuk newspaper yang I sedang baca. Ooo, oklah, hantar kat belakang for re-cycle. Ingatkan nak buang Al Quran. Dia still guna term Indon.
Hari raya tahun ni tak dapat nak balik kampung. I am too pregnant to go back. Hati tu larat but my body said no. So I guess this year berhari raya rumah sendirilah, then pegi rumah parents Amir. Miza and Ita also balik rumah keluarga mertua masing-masing. Tinggal we all aje kat sini. Kakak dah upset tak dapat balik, dia nak ikut Ija balik kampung. I said no. Kita raya sama-sama as a family.
All barang-barang for hari raya dah ok. barang-barang for baby jugak dah ok except a few things. Bilik for the baby jugak dah ok. The day before, pasang air con. I guess now is the waiting time. Memang tak larat dah but I nak raya dulu, so baby tunggu after hari raya kalau nak keluar pun. Ummi nak makan rendang, ketupat and kuah kacang dulu!!

Nothing much happened except busy bagi training kat Bibik. Until now, she still tak pandai nak hidupkan api dapur.
Aduh, Bibik. Kamu jangan tekan keras-keras.
Adik dah mula mesra dgn Bibik. Siap jealous lagi if Aiman sit on Bibik's lap. Setakat ini, ok lagi. Rumah pun dah terurus, cuma Bibik tak berani nak naik atas lagi. Bilik Kakak and Adik still tak berapa kemas. My room tu ok, I kemas sendiri cuma need her to sapu and mop.
Setakat ni masih berupaya to berpuasa. This year memang break any puasa record, I cook!! Well, Amir pun tak boleh nak makan sebarangan. I have to cook. Tulah, orang kata. sayangkan laki, sanggup masak bersusah payah walaupun badan dah tak larat. Nasib baik ada Bibik untuk kemaskan dapur lepas masak.
Today, my schoolmate ada bukak puasa do at Rebung, itu Chef Ismail punya restaurant. Seronoknya if dapat pegi. Fairuz will be going, tumpang Fe.
Oklah, don't know what to write lagi. Sudah kekeringan idea. Nothing interesting happen pun lately.

Wou, I miss the whole month of September to blog. No excuse, simply malas nak update.
Today is the ninth day of Ramadhan. Masih kuat and sihat to berpuasa. Alhamdullilah. Kakak missed two days of puasa. Weekend was tough on her coz Adik eats and drinks in front of her.
I finally have Bibik Indon. She came on the 26th September. Picked her up from the airport with Amir. Masih lurus bendul. First day arrival sudah start training. Training is everyday after sahur. Penat jugak jadi mentor ni. Semua tak tahu, so training includes simple things as hidupkan api dapur, bukak suis lampu and electrical items. Nasib baik tak bebal sgt. Washing machine dah boleh operate sendiri after dua kali tunjuk.
The first week, cuci rumah. From mopping, to basuh bilik air (Yang ini Bibik buatlah). Separuh mati jugak dibuatnya. Sampah and barang-barang yang patut dibuang punyalah banyak. The kids are still at rumah Cik Mu so senang skit Bibik kemasa rumah dulu. Now my house berkilat-kilat memancar kebersihannya. Maklumlah mana pernah dimop tiap-tiap hari. Bilik air masih boleh improve lagi keberkilatannya.
Anyway, Bibik still tak pandai nak hidupkan api dapur tu. I tak bagi dia masak lagi tapi dah train guna microwave. So far yang itu pass. Sahur, she will heat up eveything in the microwave. Ringan skit beban mak ni. "Mem" besar ni turun makan aje. Cuci and kemas, Bibik yang buat.
This was my conversation with Bibik yesterday:
Bibik: Puan, saya mau mintak tolong sama Puan untuk dapatkan itu apa ya orang disini panggil. Itu untuk tahu tanggal.
Mem: Apa tu?
Bibik: Tanggal
Mem: Tangkal? Kamu mau buat apa dengan tangkal?
Bibik: Mau digantung.
Mem: TANGKAL?!!
Bibik: Itu, kalau kita mau tahu hari nya berapa haribulan.. Hari kemarin, rame orang ke masjid, rupa-rupa solat Jumaat...
Mem: Kamu mau kalendar?
Bibik: Iya, kalendar..
Waduh, bikin kaget aja Bibik ni, ingatkan nak tangkal rupanya nak kalendar utk tahu tanggal.
