(mama jalan kaki dari rumah ke nurseri.. dalam 5 minit je) dr terus masukkan pil dalam punggung aiman.. berhenti la dia menangis kejap.. tapi memang aiman lembik betul.. ngeri mama.. risau takut apa2 jadi pada dia.. tapi bila malam, alhamdulillah, dia okey.. tidur lepas makan ubat.. sian kat dia.. jadinya, semalam mama ambil emergency leave.. sebab risau demam dia tak kebah..

berjaya!!! hehehe

semalam ofis kami arrange majlis berbuka puasa bersama pelajar.. sebagai pengerusi kelab staf yang baik (sila baca dengan darjah kepoyoan yang paling tinggi sekali), mama dan papa (merangkap emcee semalam) hadir le ke majlis tu.. siap angkut aiman sekali.. ye la, kami dah kena bekerja berdua, hangkut le incik aiman sekali.. hehe.. majlis patut start pukul 6.. mama tengok macam tak ada orang.. uish.. cuak kejap mama nih!! ingat tak ada orang.. alhamdulillah, menghampiri jam 7, penuh tempat majlis.. 200 orang yang hadir.. hehehe.. alhamdulillah.. syukur sangat2.. hasrat nak bersedekah pada student menjadi juga.. gambar tak sempat nak snap.. kena tunggu gambar ofis la nanti..

berbalik kepada kisah kuih tak jadi, dengan rasa rendah diri mama ingin mengumumkan... mama berjaya jugak siapkan kuih mama!!! yeay!!!! dengan bantuan teknologi presser kuih tart.. maka kuih den berjayo disiapkan pagi tadi.. (pakai tepung aritu jugak.. sebab sayang tak abis.. tak patut pulak buang2..) bangun kul 4 pagi, siap2 mandi lagi.. terus sahur dan mula projek buat kuih.. siap masuk ofis lambat gitu.. habis buat kuih kul 8pg.. bayang la kul berapa baru masuk ofis.. kui kui kui.. bila dah jadi, baru le boleh reveal resepinya.. resepi inti dari cik mat gebu (link sebelah kanan ye) dan resepi kulitnya dari puan amisah.. hehehe.. arigato sensei!!

KUIH TART puan mastur..

Bahagian Kulit:
4 cawan tepung gandum - digoreng tanpa minyak kemudian ayak
3 sudu ghee
1 buku buttercup 250g

bahan2 di atas di gaul guna tangan hingga sebati.. make sure buttercup dibiarkan di suhu bilik.. bagi lembut dengan sendiri..

Bahagian Inti:
3 biji nenas bersaiz sedang - di parut dan jangan buang airnya
1 kulit kayu manis
2 1/2 senduk gula kasar
sedikit cengkih
daun pandan
satu penutup botol esen vanila

bahan2 di atas di masak sehingga kering airnya.

cara- cara menggentel.
pengajaran no 1: tepung tu
 memang akan basah2 sikit.. jadi, tak sesuai dicanai dan pakai acuan.. ghee tu yang buat dia jadi lebih basah dari biasa.. rupanya, guna ghee ni memang fav mak mentua mama.. ape lagi.. bodek seh!!!!
pengajaran no 2: kalau dah tak boleh pakai acuan, pakai le tangan anda sendiri.. boleh buat bentuk nenas.. bulatkan guna tangan, lepas tu gunting bahagian atasnya. memandangkan yang first time tu mama gentel dan jadi macam kuih makmur.. gumuk2 aje.. jadi mama x tunjuk pics la.. malu.. tapi kira dah settle papa perabih kelmarin.. hahaha
pengajaran no 3: beli aje presser untuk kuih tart gulung kat kedai.. maka dengan teknologi tersebutlah kuih mama berjaya disiapkan.. kakakakakahkahkah.. baru rupa comel sket dan tak la segan sangat nak bagi mak mentua rasa.. :P

malam karang start projek lain pulak.. hahahhaha

proses sediakan inti tart

bancuhan tepung yang baru lepas ayak.. tapi lum jadi doh.. ni waktu first try haritu

tadaaaaa... hehehe.. usaha tangga kejayaan la mama!!!
********************************

alahai.. ingat kut berjaya la first attempt buat kuih raya sendirik.. ceritanya, hari sabtu lepas mama try buat kuih tart.. kui kui kui.. idak le menjadi.. alkisah, inti bukan main punya sedap.. tapi kulitnya x menjadi.. x menjadi bukan pasal apa, tapi sebab x boleh guna acuan.. jadinya, mama gentel buat gulung2 aje.. sedap kulitnya, cuma agak tebal.. jadi mama akan alter lagi resepi kawan mama tu n mama nak try balik esok.. ehehehe.. harap2 berjaya.. rupa x comel sangat, tapi papa memang makan beria2.. tengok2 tuppaware tinggal sekerat je.. hahahha..

hari ni mama dapat khabar gembira.. mama akan share later la.. bila dah betul2 jadi kenyataan.. sebab masih atas angin je lagi ni.. hehehe..

ooOOoo.. semalam mula2 mama ingat nak jahit baju melayu aiman.. tangan dia labuh.. tapi sebab kena prepare untuk kelas pagi tadi, mama sempat bagi dia try je.. nak tengok labuh mana.. nanti mama jahit la ye sayang.. esok2 ke.. tengok mana sempat.. ye la, pejam celik pejam celik tinggal lagi 7 hari je nak berpuasa.. laju betul ramadhan kali ni..

tengahari tadi, ada seorang student mama yang dah grad mai ofis.. tak sangka, dalam banyak2 student, yang problem itu la yang dok ingat kat kita.. mai ofis siap bawak buah tangan gitu.. alhamdulillah, moga2 rezeki dia panjang dan bertambah.. almaklum, first time raya jadi engineer.. hati mama stop kejap nampak dia bawak masuk hamper.. tak sangka sungguh dia ingat mama.. dia siap cakap dia berterima kasih sangat sebab mama dia dapat grad.. huhuhu.. mama doakan dia yang terbaik dalam apa jua yang dikerjakan.. amin

aiman makan sayur la, kurma la.. hehehe

memang dah xde keroje

apela nak jadi ngan mama papa aiman ni

haritu mama ada dapat voucher jusco.. RM60 hengget gitu.. jadinya semalam rakan jahat mama, dira (hahaha.. sayang hang) ajak berbuka puasa.. memandangkan papa bagi green light, so kami pun pergi la ke jusco baru.. jusco seberang perai city.. overall okey la jusco ni.. cuma floor plan dia agak mengarut.. jusco dia terpecah dua.. huhuuhu.. satu hujung sini dan satu hujung sana.. dalam satu floor.. tah ape tah designer dia fikir.. tempat dia luas dan selesa.. kedai biasa2 aje.. kira ada la juga attraction baru untuk penang yang agak buhsan ini kan.. tapi dia punya baby room kiut sangat (silap x ambil gambar)..

kami berbuka puasa di black canyon coffee.. dira suggest.. mama mula2 ingat ala2 starbucks gitu.. rupanya memang kedai makan.. foodwise sedap.. eventhough yang masak semua bangla.. hahahha.. betul, dari cook sampai ke manager dia semua bangla.. food hidang lak thai food.. lagi le pelik.. tapi sedap la depa masak.. serius! kami ambil set dia.. ada 4 nasi, ada stir fried chicken with shitake mushroom, stir-fried vege, tomyam (sedap betul), sweet and sour fish, kerabu soohoon (recommended) and spring roll for starter.. sedap lauk2 dia.. papa n dira order coffee.. mama order phuket paradise (pineapple gitu).. kira worth la..

pastu kami masuk jusco.. sebab memang plan nak cari baju aiman.. dapat la 3 pasang baju dan 1 shirt utk rm51.. jadi tinggal la mama dengan voucher lagi 10hengget.. sebelum beli baju, papa nampak mainan dekat playland dia.. naik sheikh apa papa semalam, mama pun x tau.. ajak mama main gendang.. hahhahahaha.. jadi enjoy la piccas tu.. auntie dira ambil.. tq3

p/s: gambar xleh susun pulak dah!! kadang2 geram jadinya dengan blogspot ni

buat kerja gila

last weekend memang buat kerja gila betul.. dah lama dah mama meninggalkan alam buat2 kerja gila ni sejak kahwin.. jadinya, last weekend memang buat kerja giler.. sebab utama kena pi dentist.. aim to release the braces within 6 months. dah lama sangat, x tahan dah.. Dr agreed to do it, but i need to come pay visit every 3 weeks.. so, last weekend kena la sekali.. cerita last weekend bermula macamni..

tengahmalam jumaat tu, mama ambil bas balik kl.. sampai kl lebih kurang 4pagi (sabtu).. turun kat pudu, abah mama ambil. sahur di mcDonald (which sangat x best sebab food banyak habis.. ngarut betul!) balik rumah, solat subuh, kul 7 dah keluar dah.. hantar nana (my sis) gi gym.. ye, dia buat gila gi gym jugak time ramadhan ni.. nak lawan kurus dengan mama gitu.. hehehe.. chaiyo nana! then straight to dentist.. dia bukak awal.. 7.30am dah bukak klinik.. bagus kan?? i've been visiting dr Subra (he's indian muslim) almost 2 and half years.. lama gitu.. visit la webpage dia kat sini.. pukul 8.15am semua settle dah.. dah tighten braces and next appointment lepas raya..

sebab dah abis awal, abah mama ajak balik rumah dulu.. so, kami balik la.. lepak2 kejap, 9.45am kami keluar dari rumah ambil nana.. pastu kami jenjalan.. sebab mama nak survey tempat birthday party aiman.. pastu kami ke the curve n ikano.. gi mothercare beli puting botol susu untuk aiman.. aiman dia jenis minum laju.. so, dia x leh minum puting no3 yg besar lubangnye.. nak x nak mama kena la cari no2 punya.. sebab botol yg mama beli tu memang bagi no 3.. lepas keluar dari the curve, mama ke damansara perdana, gi order kek aiman.. balik rumah balik, rehat sat then solat. pastu straight naik lrt ke pudu dan naik bas kul 3.30pm terus balik parit buntar.. sampai2 papa n aiman ambil, terus gi makan berbuka di kedai.. hahaha... sampai rumah mama terus tergolek.. kih kih kih

ahad kami bangun lambat.. selesai sidai kain, lipat 2 raga lagi yg mama bgtau haritu (yeay! siap!) dan lepas tu lepak2 kejap.. lepas zuhur, kami ke penang.. sebab janji dengan firdaus, isma n danish (remember danish? playdate aiman) berbuka bersama.. sebelum berbuka kami sempat la kempiskan poket kat gurney plaza.. beli jeans utk aiman, 2 baju 1 seluar utk papa n 1 blouse utk mama (1 je? cis cis cis) lepas solat asar, kami ke tempat berbuka.. isma n family booked revolving restaurant at city bayview hotel.. huhu.. jangan tak tahu.. kat penang pun ade restoran berputar tau!! price sekepala rm49++ kira okey banget la nak banding dengan kat kl kan? makanan dia pun okey.. sedap.. kira puas hati la.. lagi puas hati incik aiman la.. makan x henti2.. x padan dengan selesema.. huhuhu.. lebih kurang 9.30pm kami sampai rumah.. huwaaa.. letih betul hujung minggu ni.. merata mama pergi.. tapi puas hati sebab banyak hal dah settle..

okeyla.. oo.. lupa nak kabar, petang ni mama interview confirmation.. kul 2.30pm.. wish me luck!

XOXO mama

cake

viewed 1059 times maaaa... kikiki.. x caya gi tgk webpage dia.. hehehe

currently, mama tengah dok browse birthday cake for aiman.. i still remember my wedding cake.. so i went back to choffles website.. and i discover this!!! my wedding cake picture la!!! uu, kepada mereka2 yang berjaya rasa kek tu.. sedap kan kan kan?? i only taste a bit.. sebab kena belasah dengan family n friends.. thank goodness for my wancu in helping me to distribute the cake to others.. saja nak bagi leleh ayaq liuq hangpa, kek tu kan, dalam dia choc moist (sedap giloss) and dia punya fondant luar tu rasa cam smarties.. serious okey!! memang sedap gilerrrr.. so, i thought of going back to choffles for aiman's cake.. and i will consider another one outlet recommended by my friend, zeti (kek mika cantik jugak!).. tomorrow i'm going back for a day to pay visit to my orthodontist.. harap2 sempat la jenguk sat kedai tu.. hehehe..


kenangan betul la kek ni.. sebab mama memang kepingin 3 tingkat kek.. tapi bajet ketat boleh support 2 tingkat aje.. tapi my lovely ude (uncle sebelah emak) top up bajet.. jadi leh la dapat 3 tingkat.. muhahahahahaha.. sayang ude.. tochei tochei.. for those yg nak kawen ke, ada occasions ke.. mama suggest try la choffles nye kek.. gerenti puas hati!! cuma orang tu salah eja nama harris.. tertinggal satu R.. photographer capture gambar kek tu.. terus straight eja nama harris dalam album kami salah.. woohoo..

racist?

lately, banyak sangat dok cerita pasal kaum2 ni.. bagi mama, politician n media yang banyak mainkan isu ni. bila dah dok asyik cakap, orang mula la dok fikir2kannya.. bagi mama, kita semua ni pendatang.. ye la, cuba fikir.. siapa sebenarnya penduduk asal malaysia ni?? orang melayu?? betul ke?? cuba fikir betul2.. cuba selidik salur galur keturunan kita.. at least 3 generation before us.. mama mengaku, mama bukan asal penduduk malaysia.. arwah atok mama sendiri sebelah abah orang INDON!! yerp!! betul tu.. mama keturunan orang padang, indonesia.. hahaha.. sebelah arwah emak pun rasanya gitu juga.. sebelah suami lagi aa, confirm JAWA.. dah tu, jawa dari mana?? dari indonesia la.. dah.. buatpe nak bising2 cakap pasal kaum2 ni.. orang cina yang ada kat sini pun lahir di sini.. lebih kurang la cam kita pun.. cuma depa lambat sikit je masuk malaysia dari kita.. indian pun sama.. buat apa saling cabar mencabar berkenaan kaum2 ni.. be sensitive la sikit.. kita ni rakyat berbilang kaum.. seronok mama rasa bila dapat tengok orang cina makan masakan india dan melayu dan kita pun dapat juga menjamah makanan mereka (yg halal okey!).. alhamdulillah..

cuma bab agama2, mama fikir, kita hormatilah sesama kita.. kalau time muslim nak solat, bagi la dengan sebaiknya.. same goes to christian, buddhist and hindus.. masing2 patut jaga amalan masing2.. toksah dok bising2.. kita sama2 buat amalam untuk agama kita.. mana ada agama suka musuh2 nih.. pihak yang suka api2kan ni memang jahat.. suka tengok berpecah belah.. ape la nak jadi.. kalau rasa cam tak boleh hidup dengan agama orang lain, pi cari negara lain.. tak pun, pi duduk bulan.. habis cerita.. ha, anut la awak sorang2.. pasal azan, mama nak komen sket la buat orang yg dok complen kata bising.. hello, kalau awak rasa nak duduk kat tempat aman damai, xde bunyi apa2 langsung, why not awak duduk kat kubur je.. kalau kubur pun masih dekat dengan rumah orang, haa.. pi duk tengah laut.. xpun atas bukit ka, gunung ka.. haa.. selesai kan?? hmm..

mama x suka sebenarnya lately asyik cerita bukan2 kat sana sini.. mama nak hidup aman damai la.. please.. boleh??? doa hari jumaat ni tau! kikiki

slope failure and pasar ramadhan

the two items in the title doesnt relate to each other. it just few things that happen to me yesterday. i thought yesterday would be a very nice day without hecticness of work.. is there such word as hecticness? huhu.. so, i started my day by posting an article for this blog. suddenly i got a message from hubby saying that we need to go to the main campus for an urgent site visit. at first i wonder what happen. around 10.30am, my senior colleague asked us to go to her room for a little briefing. i was quite surprised to learn that a slope failure had happened at our main campus. i believe most main campus students knew about this. the slope failed near to students dormitory. the catastrophe happened last saturday.. if you guys happened to read or heard the news regarding the worst flood in penang, that was the same day the slope failed.



me near the failure. supposed there were few blocks of rocks and boulders on the road. but has been cleaned up

we reached the main campus around 11am. we were the first group to arrive before another 2 groups. i was learnt by the guard that luckily the slope failed at 1.00am.. not during 'berbuka puasa' time. thank god nothing happened to the students. fyi, all blocks there were built on a hill. a slope monitoring system was installed on different slope, but in the same area. so, after gathered alltogether, we separated throughout the site to assess any other failure. for me, i went all the structures to look for any signs. there are few little signs that need to be taken into consideration. we did found some weaknesses on few things. i wont mention it here. kang kalu kena saman x pasai! so, today we need to do a full report to be presented to the VC tomorrow. i am still waiting for my students to compile the reports. currently they are organizing all evidence found yesterday.

i should mention here that i believe that the lack of interaction between the pejabat pembangunan and experts in USM itself that lead to some problems related to most of the structure built in our campuses. the engineer in charge doesnt even bother to ask opinions to the experts in the field. same goes like story that we heard about shaman. have you heard about it?? if you know, shaman in a village sometimes doesnt been bothered by his own villagers.. people tend to find other shaman from other village to be cured rather than coming to their own expert. same goes with our govt la.. here and there we can listen to news saying we import expert from UK la, US la.. why dont you give the local expert a chance.. even we were invited by others to give our expertise. yesterday, even one of our colleague mentioned that he was even get a call from contractors asking for his help for their contract in USM!! apeda.. wasting money and time is what most gvt agencies do.. so, now you guys can imagine la this related to the mishaps reported by auditor in the report shown on tv3 buletin utama..

so, tomorrow we will submit our report based on our findings in the campus. i wish to bare the result here.. but bahaya la pulak ye.. huhu.. nevermind, we'll see what will happen later. hopefully nothing happen to students there.. kesian kat depa..

later yesterday afternoon, when we reached back to our office, the day seems very fine. so, we decided to go to pasar ramadhan. it was Aiman's first time going to pasar ramadhan. to tell the truth, i miss going to UTM's and Tmn U's pasar ramadhan. i believe my friends would agree with me. the pasar ramadhan here is sooooooooooo boring.. the menu is too biasa n most sellers sell same thing.. huh.. depa xdak idea kut.. boring.. tapi aiman been quite that time.. mata je tgk food. mulut pulak melopong.. hehehe.. so cute.. as for the night, after iftar i manage to finish a basket full of unfolded clothes.. tinggal lagi 1 raga besar nak lipat.. huhu.. so, chaiyo mama!! hehehe

aiman terliur tengok org buat murtabak

neighbours and such

reading kak iza's and marina mahathir's articles today make me want to give my 2 cents. first, let me comment regarding neighbours like in kak iza's article. i was quite surprised with her comment regarding one of her neighbour. i know i am not a good neighbour myself.. but i try hard to be a good one. having a good neighbour can ease us a lot. i mean, like me who frequently travels (more than once in a month), i depend on my neighbours to watch for my house. in my row, there are about 6 malay families and another 6 are occupied by chinese families. let me tell you something.. although there 6 families (including ours), only 2 families maintain good relationship with us.. i dont know why the other 3 treat us like strangers. i mean, i always smile at them, try to be friendly, but it seems that they dont care. i thought that living outside KL ppl are more friendly than those in KL.. but i guess i'm wrong.. or maybe they thought ppl in KL behaves like that.. how wrong they are. like my family house in Bandar Tun Razak, everybody lives happily. although some of them rank higher than my dad in DBKL, still we can have a good chatting when we met once a while.. we even had raya feast for about 3 'lorong' every year. we did pot luck and even enjoy entertainment from children at our 'taman'.. serious! i really cant wait for this raya's celebration. we've been living there about 23 years and we love each other like our own family.. all 'makciks' there treat us like their daughters too.. even there any mishaps happening in our neighbourhood, we keep in touch with each other to give our concern. ya la, Rasulullah even said that the next 40ppl living next to us are family.. ini, just like 6 families in my row but ppl behave like seeing UFO or something.

and the other thing about my row is that, the chinese families next to us are really friendly.. they like to gather outside our lane and have good chit chat.. even if they sees us, they will smile and wave at my son.. huh! shame on you those family.. the two family i mentioned earlier are the only families who maintain good relationship with us.. eventhough sometimes i can't stand my neighbour singing karaoke loudly (the malay sing karaoke but those chinese dont.. malu je kat row tu) but still he's a good man.. and another funny thing about the family that doesnt bother about us is that one of them even work in USM.. can u imagine that?? malu je.. dah le older than me, but does not behave like a true gentleman. chait.. and even their elder children behave badly like 'lepak'ing at infront of the house and i even once caught their daughter sneaking out to ride bike with her boyfriend but still i dont 'tarik muka' in front of them..

sometimes people outside KL are much worse than those in KL.. i mean those who born in KL.. i am proud to be a KLite.. me and hubby both were born in KL, raised in KL but we dont behave like that la ppl.. please respect others.. then others will respect you.. why dont you behave nicely with your neighbours.. maybe one day you'll need their help too.. rite??

sekian, panjang lebar 2cent saya harini.. comment regarding marina m's article will come later
selamat berpuasa

he is 1 YO!!

Alhamdulillah, today mark his first year.. being born in the month of september meant a lot for mama.. after all teh miseries i had in the past few years, aiman's birth was one joyful moment in my life. today he turn one.. how time flies.. i still remember his birth day and the moment Dr pun him on my tummy.. masyaAllah.. he grow to one sweet boy.. let me update aiman's progress first before i tell u about his birthday party details..

well, let me start with his physical progress.. he now have 8 teeth.. he weigh more than 10kg!! huhu.. he already built his pace in walking.. he can walk all around house without assistance and happy to learn more about his surrounding.. it's been almost a week since he can walk freely. nowadays, he also eat more.. he loves to eat everything.. he doesn't favour porridge much anymore as he enjoys nasi with fish and chicken etc. he loves to move his body whenever he listens to music and this past 2 days, he started to play with his uncles peekaboo.. he said 'baaa.. tak' when he wants to play peekaboo.. hehe.. he look cute when he plays around.. although he loves to eat, he still favour his milk.. he drink 7oz of milk each time for 4-5times daily. huhu.. that's why he weigh that much! everytime we want to have our meal, he'll come to us and open his mouth largely as if he understand that we're eating!! hahaha..

tak larat nak gelak..

tadi mama receive reader's digest copy for sept.. tak larat gelak sorang2.. sebab edisi kali ni title 5th annual humour special.. just to quote few lines that made me laugh histerically in my room.. alone.. koh koh koh..

the best one - my choice by Dave Chappelle - a black comedian. Dia memang lawak.. tapi cerita dia x masuk malaysia:
~ Batman never fights crime in neighbourhoods that need it. I'd like to see Batman fight crime in my neighbourhood.
"Robin?"
"Yes, Batman?"
"Didn't we park the car right here, man?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

by Ant
~ Gay people invented sports. Think about it. Boxing: two topless man... in silk shorts.. fighting over a belt.

by Steve Martin
~ First the doctor told me good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.

by Richard Jeni
~ If carrots are so good for your eyesight, how come I see so many dead rabbits on the highway?
HAHAHAHAHHA

lawak2 pagi2 nih.. segar jap bijik mata.. okey sambung kerja

bulan itu datang lagi

alhamdulillah, dah 2 hari kita berpuasa.. kesempatan ini mama ambil untuk menyusun 10 jari mohon kemaafan salah silap kepada semua bloggers yg sudi berkunjung ke blog mama ni.. semoga kita semua mendapat keberkatan dan keredhaan Allah sepanjang Ramadhan kali ini.. insyaAllah..


Sebenarnya, mama bersyukur sangat- sangat dengan tibanya Ramadhan ni.. tapi, dalam waktu yang sama, hati masih sayu.. sebenarnya, setiap kali tibanya bulan september ni, banyak kenangan yang berlaku.. tak kira sama ada kenangan pahit, mahupun manis.. mama sorot sedikit kenangan sedih dahulu.. arwah emak mama meninggalkan mama pada 16 september 2005.. arwah opah mama (sebelah emak) tinggalkan kami keesokan harinya pada 17 september 2005.. ye, selang sehari kami menghadapi 2 kematian.. tahun tu kami kehilangan 3 orang tersayang, termasuk arwah maktok (sebelah abah mama) pada 16 mac 2005.. sayunya hati bila tahun ini menyambut ramadhan tanpa arwah emak.. al-fatihah untuk arwah- arwah yang telah pergi meninggalkan kita.. semoga arwah ditempatkan di kalangan orang- orang yang soleh dan ahli syurga.

Bulan september juga Allah beri kegembiraan kepada mama.. ye, Allah kan janjikan di sebalik kesedihan, pasti ada kegembiran yang menanti hamba- hambanya.. mama bersyukur sangat2.. di sebalik kesedihan yang bertimpa2 tahun 2005 tu, mama menghadapi bulan september tahun2 berikutnya dengan perasaan yang gembira + sedih.. yang paling menggembirakan tentulah 7 september 2007 dengan kelahiran buah hati pengarang jantung mama.. Aiman Muhd Harris.. kelahiran yang membawa rahmat dan kegembiraan dalam hidup kami.. Aiman bakal setahun hujung minggu ini.. syukur, aiman sihat dan cerdik budaknya.. manja dan suka bila di agah.. paling gembira, sekarang ni aiman dah pun boleh berjalan.. keliling rumah dah dia pusing.. eksen je muka dia.. terkedek2 dia jalan.. jadi bahan cerita dan gelak ketawa mama dan papa aje dirumah.. hehehe..

dan tahun ini, bulan september menjadi permulaan kepada bulan Ramadhan pertama kami sambut bertiga.. ye la, tahun lepas mama x puasa langsung.. dah tu pula duduk rumah mak mertua.. huhu.. jadi kali ni merasa la mama bersahur berdua dengan suami tercinta.. baru le kenal dengan suami time sahur2 ni.. cara dia makan, cara dia nak bangun untuk bersahur.. huhuhu.. papa suami yang baik.. dia teman mama lagi siapkan sahur.. kih kih kih.. lepas tu dia dok layan tv, mama tergolek balik atas katil sebelum subuh.. hancussss.. kakakakaka..

apa- apapun, mama berdoa kehadrat Allah subhanawata'ala semoga september kali ini adalah lebih berbaik berbanding september2 terdahulu dan semoga ramadhan kali ini akan menjadikan mama insan yang lebih baik berbanding sebelum ini. insyaAllah.. dan juga yang agak hampas, mama berharap mama dapat turun lagi 3kg sebelum raya.. kakakakakakaka... x kira, nak buat jugak nanti gambar sebelum (september 07) dengan gambar selepas setahun (sept 08) kui kui kui.

XOXO mama
*tengah berkira2 menu apa nak masak petang ni laa.. hehehe
