tahun ni, saya dan adik-beradik menyambut ramadhan ke-6 tanpa insan yg kami panggil mak.
tiap kali bersahur, berbuka dan bertarawikh, saya pasti teringatkan mak. masa kami kecik2, maklah yg paling bz dlm bulan ramadhan. mak akan pastikan lauk-pauk untuk berbuka menyelerakan & menepati selera ayah dan kami adik-beradik. mak pasti melayan segala wish list kami. even kalau ayah tiba2 bawa masuk dapur aym kampung yg baru disembelih pada time2 dah dekat berbuka pon, mak takkan merungut. mak akan cuba masak aym kampung tu as lauk sahur tanpa banyak soal. dan yg pasti, menu berbuka dan bersahur tak pernah sama.
biasanya mak akan masak cukup2 jer utk berbuka, then akan masak menu baru untuk bersahur supaya semua org makan dengan berselera. dan yang paling saya rindukan ketika bersahur adalah ikan keli goreng, yg panas2 gitu. lauk itulah yg slalu kejutkan kami utk bangun bersahur. hebat kan? utk berbuka, kuih muih pon jarang2 kami beli sbb mak tak suka membazir. kadang2 hujung minggu kami adik beradik buat stok popia frozen atau cek mek molek frozen utk dimakan sepanjang ramadhan. kami juga slalu request cucur udang dari kakak sulung kami sbb cucur udang dia memang best. even sampai skrg pon kalau balik kampung saya akan request kak mimi buat cucur udang bcoz she's the best!
mak akan ke pasar tiap2 hari selepas balik kerja. pasar kat rumah kami hanya walking distance, dan lauk2 basah mmg banyak dijual pada waktu petang. mak tak suka stok lauk basah banyak2 dlm freezer, katanya tak fresh. lagipon pasar dekat, so better makan lauk fresh hari2. saya kagum dengan mak, sbb walaupon kerja 8-5, mak masih punya masa utk masak untuk keluarganya setiap hari without miss. maklah idola saya bab2 masak ni.
selepas berbuka dan solat maghrib, kami adik-beradik cepat2 bersiap utk ke masjid. dulu ayah ada van, so kami semua boleh pergi terawikh di masjid. saya suka solat tepi mak, sbb mak wangi. mak tak suka berborak mcm setengah2 makcik yg sibuk bergossip dlm masjid. saya masih ingat, ada sekali tu saya tertidur masa tahyat akhir, dan mak sigung lengan saya utk kejutkan saya. he he. kalau weekend, mak ajak kami subuh di masjid sbb lepas subuh ada kuliah jumaat. ni pon saya slalu tertidur masa sujud/tahyat akhir. maklah juga yg kejutkan saya. what a sweet memory kan?
bila cuti sekolah, kami akan insist ayah untuk mengecat itu ini. dan slalunye kami akan cat grill dan pagar rumah supaya nampak berseri2 di hari raya. tapi slalunya kami cat halfway jer sbb bila dah reach tempat2 sukar, semua tanak buat. in the end, ayah juga yg kena siapkan. time cuti sekolah juga kami akan lumba2 baca quran sbb kalau khatam 1 quran, ayah dan mak akan bagi duit raya lebih rm30 dari org lain. masa tu, rm30 sgtlah besar buat kami sbb tiap2 hari pon hanya dapat 50sen. dan biasanya kami semua akan khatam 1 quran sepanjang ramadhan.
kalaulah saya dapat pergi ke masa lampau..
kalaulah saya boleh panggil 'mak' lagi..
sobbs..

Alhamdulillah.. Terima Kasih TM!
(gambar hiasan semata2 - at Hyde park, London)2004 - saya dan hubby both dpt tajaan mara utk overseas, tapi kami tolak sbb saya mengandung anak pertama. at 6 mths pregnant, mak pergi buat selama2nya. so, itulah hikmahnya kami tak fly. kalau tak, sure tak byk spend masa dengan mak.
2006 - saya dan hubby both selected for interview utk biasiswa separuh masa YTM. tapi hubby jer berjaya. saya gagal, so hubby jer yg proceed buat EMBA. walaupon EMBA pon saya lulus interview, tapi saya decide nak jaga anak kat rumah. hikmahnya, kalau 2-2 sambung time tu, agaknya apa dah jadi kat anak2 kami.he he
2008 - saya apply biasiswa penuh luar negara YTM. alhamdulillah short-listed for interview. tapi time tu saya take for granted. uni belum apply, course pon belum decide. and worst of all, saya demam masa interview. memang kena komen pedas dari panel - kurang persediaan. at the point keluar bilik interview, saya dah agak yg saya gagal. in summary, dah 2 kali gagal dengan YTM.
2009 - saya nekad nak sambung blaja. determine course & uni mana nak further study. then at the same time apply SPC MARA. then apply Yayasan Khazanah. pendek kata, semua yg lalu depan mata saya rembat. utk MARA, alhamdulillah selected for interview. and alhamdulillah dapat tawaran. utk Khazanah, alhamdulillah selected for 1st & 2nd round. tapi setakat itu sajalah, then sodaqallahula'zhim.. oh btw, Khazanah ada 4 round. dapat ke 2nd round pon dah rasa terharu dan bertuah.
after dah nekad nak further study dgn MARA, tiba2 YTM keluar iklan biasiswa penuh luar negara dan biasiswa separa. so, apa lagi, saya yg muka tebal ni apply lagi skali dgn YTM. sampai GM pon heran kenapa banyak sgt dia kena sign. he he. right after balik dari BTN, YTM panggil untuk interview. berbekalkan sedikit sebanyak pengalaman pergi bermacam interview scholarship, haruslah saya betul2 bersedia as not to regret myself. and alhamdulillah, interview berjalan lancar, maybe sbb saya pon dah 3/4 prepared untuk ke seberang laut. tinggal visa jer belum apply.
and finally, hari ni saya terima jawapan dari YTM.. dan saya rasa nak melompat2 ke awan biru (:

saya sesak nafas
no, not h1n1.. nauzubillah. moga dijauhkan dari pandemic ini. pagi ni si Faris demam, actually since last night. mmg dah niat dah, kalau hari ni demam berpanjangan, haruslah saya cuti walaupon cuti saya hanya tinggal cukup makan jer utk hari raya.
we went to klinik menara at bkt jelutong and of course dr rasool takde kat situ. siang mmg doctor lain. malam jer baru dr rasool take over. masyallah cantik sungguh klinik baru dia. just moved in 2 weeks ago. si faris nampak a bit active, dan makan breakfast sup cendawan dengan roti. alhamdulillah. susu pon laju jer. temp dia turun sket. this very morning 38.7, but masa kat klinik dah 37. alhamdulillah. since dia nampak sihat, kitorang decide hantar nursery sbb me got so many urgent things at the office. right now tgh monitor temp dia, doc pesan kalau naik mlambung cepat2 g hospital.
oh ye.. saya rasa sesak nafas dengan jerebu yg teruk dan banyak unsettled things. kerja kat ofis toksah cakaplah. saya akan mula bercuti starting 1st oct 2009 selama 1 tahun. 13 bulan away from office. haruslah dungu saya balik nanti. he he. so skrng banyaklah hal2 nak diwasiatkan kepada staff dan pemangku saya. and at the same time kerja harian pon nak layan. tak penah saya tinggal unread mail cecah 50+ at the end of the day. but today it happend. average email saya dapat dlm sehari is 100. and more than half yg kena take action. esok & lusa pula training sbb nak cukupkan jam training before start cuti. panic2. tapi saya urut2kan dada cakap "jgn susah hati".
saya tahu yg paling susah hati adalah bos dan staff saya sbb diorang pon tahu byk kerja saya bertangguh atas bermacam2 alasan teknikal. pemangku saya tak nampak stress sgt sbb dia budak yg sgt fresh and not much to expect. hemm. rasanya sempat kot nak buat handover. bulan puasa ni harap2 ada extra time sbb tak perlu makan. he he
lagi penambah stress adalah visa yg belum dimohon sbb afidavit belum ready. at the same time, saya masih mengharap sinar harapan dari yayasan T* untuk sponsor biasiswa wif paid leave. accomodation di coventry pon saya belum finalize sbb susah gak kalau tak tgk dulu. but my bro at london will assist me on this. harap2 semuanya urusan berjalan lancar. ameen
antara unchecked to do list :
spt biasa, jangan susah hati, ok?

UK trip 17 - 24th July 2009
macam malas jer nak menaip.. :) in summary - uk tgh summer, but it rains everyday, and sejuk kat luar tu lebih sejuk drpd aircond TM Annexe.. it's a beautiful place, banyak historical places & buildings.. shopping best!! but food mahal.. that's all, the rest tgk gambar kay..
day 1 - attended my sis' convo at southampton.. frm left : syazana (my youngest sister), me & aisya, nurul (the one who graduated) and the rest is family friends.. with the kurung & kebaya only, we're all freezing!
then, we headed to Wolvesey Castle, which is about 15 minutes walking distance from the cathedral.. castle ni owned by a bishop long long time ago.. dah runtuh banyak, so what left is only the basic structure..
on the way back, we stopped at the High Street, Winchester.. there are loads of shops having Sales but unfortunately the shops closed at 6pm.. even we ols kena halau from kedai Clarks, so makcik tak nyempat nak beli apa2 pon..
kat sini memang ramai gile tourist & local people.. semua bz shopping..
everytime penat, this is a must go place - starbuck! sbbnya ada toilet and kopi yg sedap.. the coffee price not much differ from our price when converted to RM, for example vanilla toffee frapucino costs us around 3.40pound (grande).. with the disount card, we have it at 2.70pound.. so, lebih kurang harge sini jela..
from the high street, we walked back to the carpack to have our packed lunch - nasi goreng & keropok.. after top-up the car parkticket, we walked to this place (lupa nama), where there's king arthur's round table.. sampai je situ dah 5pm, and the hall is supposed to close.. seb baik 'king arthur' baik, bagi kitorang snap a few pictures of the round table..
day 3 - from soton, we headed to north of London, our destination is Manchester.. my bro dah contact member dia so kitorang dapat accomodation free kat situ, thanks to my bro's friends! actually we dropped by at Oxford, but all pictures taken hilang sbb my sis' memory card went kong! terkilan sgt sbb Oxford is a very beautiful old town.. :(
bought some souvenirs from the souvenir shop.. i managed to get myself a ManU keychain with my name on it (eventhough takdela fanatic bola pon).. look at muka Aisya yg bosan sbb kedai ni takde princess2 thingy..
after Old Trafford, we went to the city center..
ni kat Sports Direct, Arnsdale (the shopping mall).. ala-ala Al-Ikhsan but very2 big.. i bought a pair of crocs for Faris at 13pound.. not bad kan walaupon ada time yg bleh dapat cheaper price.. i also grabbed a few more kids' clothes sbb murah amat..
ini tak ingat nama apa, mcm eye of manchester la kot.. hehe.. lalu jer, tak naik pon..
this is the Manchester's Cathedral.. we ols siap masuk lagi dalam ni.. saja nak experience.. 
ok dah nak balik coz penat.. that day we tapau nasi goreng & kue teow goreng from Rice, a halal stall recommended by a friend.. so-so jela the taste, but since lapar and mahal (4-5pound per meal), kitorang makan gak sampai habes.. he he
before balik rumah, we decided to go to Cheshire Oak, branded outlet yg besar amat.. but since our hands are fully occupied with shopping bags, not a single photo was taken.. :) my sis Syazana yg paling banyak borong (or was it me?) murah amat, i grabbed a lot of kids' clothes (again).. GAP sweater for Aisya = 9pounds, and for Faris = 6pounds.. jeans Pumpkin Patch Aisya = 5pounds.. seronok sangat.. this is a must go place if you go northern of london!
day 1 - attended my sis' convo at southampton.. frm left : syazana (my youngest sister), me & aisya, nurul (the one who graduated) and the rest is family friends.. with the kurung & kebaya only, we're all freezing!
my sis wif her bestfriend, maya.. CONGRATS u ols!
day 2 - from southampton, we headed to winchester, a cute city wif lots of historical building.. pictures shown below is The Cathedral Church.. very the besar one!
then, we headed to Wolvesey Castle, which is about 15 minutes walking distance from the cathedral.. castle ni owned by a bishop long long time ago.. dah runtuh banyak, so what left is only the basic structure..

day 3 - from soton, we headed to north of London, our destination is Manchester.. my bro dah contact member dia so kitorang dapat accomodation free kat situ, thanks to my bro's friends! actually we dropped by at Oxford, but all pictures taken hilang sbb my sis' memory card went kong! terkilan sgt sbb Oxford is a very beautiful old town.. :(day 4 - we tour the Manchester city including Old Trafford stadium, cuaca cantik, tak hujan.. but see the cloud, sangatlah nak hujan.. (hari2 hujan deh)
we were among the first guess at the Old Trafford stadium, that day ManU team ada kat Mesia, kitorang plak kat ManU stadium.. he he
bought some souvenirs from the souvenir shop.. i managed to get myself a ManU keychain with my name on it (eventhough takdela fanatic bola pon).. look at muka Aisya yg bosan sbb kedai ni takde princess2 thingy..
