Happy
We went to wedding reception of C's batchmate, Mohazmi & his bride, Melissa, after i wrote the previous entry. Driving along from Batu 9 to Batu 18 seemed like forever, esp. for a person who suffers constant motion-sickness like me. But when we reached there and saw the familiar faces made me feel the journey was worth it :) Among others were Camus & Chech, Myoi, Jabb & kiddos, King, Rais & fam, Abby & Apek, Mooze & Eleen, Megat & partner, TC & fam, Jazman, Jawe, Iwe, Shaha & fam, Amran, Nazri & Sue, Mon & Jojie, Kokyab, RAK & fam, Abu, Razwi & fam, Wari, KuAz, Syed Noh, Manoq, Rizal and a few others who i may not know their names or missed. I think that's the biggest turned out among the batchmates. Mohazmi had earlier plan to have the reception on Koleq's ground during the OBW 2006 but it didn't materialise. To Mohazmi & wife, we pray for your happiness till the end of time and hope you both will be under Allah's blessings alwiz :D

A few days before 31st Aug, i suddenly remembered a fun Merdeka celebration C & i had at our place for the Arietans 3 years ago. Rasa seronok sungguh as it brought back big smile to my face :) When C told me on Tuesday that King invited us to go over his house for Merdeka eve gathering, i was so happy. At first we thot of leaving the kids at home coz we can only go over after Faie finished her mengaji. But since school is off last Thu, we took them along and they're so excited. The usual crowd was there as well and we're so happy to catch-up with one another, esp with those i didn't get to "sembang" much during Mohazmi's reception. Bottom line, seronok dapat melepak sekali sekala together with the Arietans' wifeys while the kids play among themselves and not bothering us much :)

As we oredi know from CK's blog, Mohsin turned 4 last Monday, 4th Sep. [CK,thanx so very much again and again for remembering them all + special entries on your blog :D] Eventho Mohsin woke up quite grumpy when we're leaving for work, by end of day he's a very happy boy :) Bought him some toys as presents from Simba, Faie & Milia, plus ice cream cake for the simple occasion. Celebrating at MIL's with yummylicious ice cream cake for a change, was a FUN one. C & i told him that as a big boy now, he needs to start practising on how to speak properly so that people will not have a problem in understanding what he's saying. He's just off diapers abt a month now and we're very proud of him, hehehe. Mama & Papa will always pray for you, Mohsin :)

Not Happy
I dread coming to work nowadays. Maybe i felt it for some time oredi but don't want to admit it. Or, i thot the feeling will go away after trying to console myself on how lucky i am to still having a job till this very day. But somehow the feelings stay, which make me really feel uncomfortable. I even have to drag myself out of bed on worse days :-/ One time i even told C that i wanna look for another job. But being so comfy here after been stuck in the same dept, with the same group of people, for more than 10 years, change of environment scares me. C said that i should open up my own biz. I beg to differ coz i know that i will not survive long in that field. I will not think twice before giving people discount and regard that money i don't get as sedekah. Tapi, kalau dah sedekah memanjang dan tak balik modal, how to make the money grow and roll it back as capital kan.. So, i have to do something to ensure the spirit will rise up to the acceptable level. I need to stay working for at least another 10 years or so. By that time pun dah nak retire and the kids in their teenage years.

OK la
I really felt bad when one day Simba called me to say that his good friend Danial gave away his old bicycle to Simba. Simba sounded very excited bcoz he's been asking for a bicycle since last year. C & i don't intend to buy one bcoz we don't want him to wander around with his friends during school holidays. But i know that sooner or later i still have to let him try whatever things he wants to try out. I asked Danial over and over again that's it's really OK for him to give that bike to Simba. My guess he didn't consult his mom before doing so. As i don't wanna kill Simba's excitement, i told him that he can keep the bike on loan basis until i speak to Danial's mom. When i spoke to Danial's mom, serba salah Mak Danial dibuatnya coz she really didn't know the kids' arrangement. I offered to pay for it and i was relieved she's willing to accept some money. Huiisshhh.. lega rasanya, at least bike tu i beli. I don't feel nice to accept things for free, esp from a single mom like Danial's mom.

As usual, thanx to CK for putting up the pix *hugz & mwahs*
