Happy.. happy.. :)

Happy is the best word to describe what i felt yesterday. I was happy because all things planned 'menjadi' :) Alhamdulillah. To recap what me, C and kids did yesterday:

1) sent raya cookies to a fren,
2) sent empty containers back to my fren yang buat those delicious cookies,
3) discussed with kakak cookies on my order for coming raya,
4) beli house 'ration' for coming week,
5) cari langsir last year utk gantung for raya,
6) buat pizza with C & kids, which kids really love when they eat for break fasting,
7) C buat another pizza himself, which kids really love also when they eat for break fasting,
8) buat fruit jelly yg sangat sedap (to my standard la) coz teringat fruit jelly we ate at Mak's place Sat, which Milia loves coz dia makan 2-3 round,
9) C buat wonderful sardine sandwich,
10) went terawih with Simba & Faie :)

I felt so blessed with the good life Allah gave me :D Alhamdulillah syukur..

Abah, cucur udang & Ramadhan :)

If Abah was still around.. Mak will be busy making cucur udang every day for break fasting the whole of Ramadhan :) A few days before Ramadhan, Mak will be ready with kuah sambal for the cucur udang. She'll also make sure she has grounded enough kacang goreng which goes well with the kuah sambal for the cucur udang. Abah'll help Mak fry the cucur udang himself if he's not working afternoon shift. If he's working for the afternoon shift, Mak will fry cucur udang in advance and tapau him some for break fasting. Mak's cucur udang was surely 'tak de tolok bandingnya' :) Cukup taugeh, kucai, garam, udang.. perfect! Sedaaapppppppp sehingga menjilat jari :D

But, since last Ramadhan, Mak's not making cucur udang anymore :( Mak & i have decided that we'll no longer make cucur udang as surely we'll not have the heart to eat 'em. To buy cucur udang is another 'no-no' to me because in Abah's word "..tak sedap!!.." to which i definitely agree. Anyhow, i miss Abah terribly. Al-Fatihah..

Rest while you can...

The system testing was over yesterday before it starts again on Thu. Eventho we only have 2 days rest but it's still a "Yayyyyy!!" for me and my testing partner :) :) So, semalam balik awal and was so happy that i reached my destination at ard 6.25. Dah lama tak balik awal gamaknya.. C was oredi waiting for me, "chaperoned" by Mohsin and Milia. Looking at their smiling faces made my day :) But, i was so surprised later when i spotted red dots on Milia's face. Alamak, Milia kena chicken pox la pulak. She might have caught the virus from Syakira. When i told her that, she went membebel abt Syakira passed the virus to her when Syakira carried her ard. But, when we stopped by the clinic to take her medicine, Dr was quite sure Milia will recover soon. InsyaAllah.

Anyways, we celebrated Faie's, Simba's & Mohsin's birthdays while i was busy. Had simple celebrations for each of them but i think they're all happy with cakes and birthday pressies. Made goodie bags for their classmates just for the fun of it. Also, one of the birthday celebrants for the month of Sept was our good fren, Mood. Went to pass his birthday gift from CK, C & moi at his workplace on the Sun after his birthday. Lucky us coz Mood was ard eventho he's not working that day. Took the opportunity to have lunch with him and sembang2. He showed us some pix from his ofis events and birthdays celebrations (with NN & the croonies) that me & C missed. Tak dapat attend birthday celebrations, dapat tengok pix pun OK gak :)

So far the month of Ramadhan has been good for us. Alhamdulillah :) Simba hasn't miss his fasting and terawih yet. Bersemangat betul dia kali ni. The first night of terawih, he made us worried as he wasn't back home at abt 11pm. When he reached home, he told us that he skipped witir as it's oredi very late. C & i didn't go to the masjid that night because we went for dinner after C picked me up as i left ofis after Maghrib that day. Faie pun try puasa gak :) Altho Faie puasa yang-yok, her effort makes me proud.

Me : Kakak tak makan ke?
Faie : Tak, kakak puasa
Me : Pagi kakak puasa kan.. petang pun kakak puasa jugak?
Faie : Iya.. kakak puasa. Kawan kakak semua puasa
Me : Tengahari kakak makan tak?
Faie : Makan
Me : So, kakak puasa half half je la eh :)
Faie : *sheepishly smiling* Kakak try la Ma..
(Update on 19/9/07: Faie managed to fast the whole day after i teased her that morning. Alhamdulillah :) She's trying again today.)

Selamat menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak :) Semuga segala amalan kita diterimaNYA dan mendapat keberkatan *amin*

Ouch it hurts..

I just can't understand why some people only expect me to understand their situation because i'm not sure whether they understand mine :( I never really voice out what i feel inside, except to C, so i sometimes feel people just take me for granted. I only voice out anything if i can't hold it any longer, or the person has done the same thing to me a few times. As much as i wanna be some goody goody kinda person, i'm only human who has feelings too. I think some people just think that it's okay to hurt my feelings but i can't hurt theirs. Oh well, only Allah knows best abt everything. I take it as fate because i've tried my level best to be good to others. I just need to nurse some broken heart for the time being *tsk tsk*
