W.E.A.K

I didn't really see myself as a bad person before.

But I’ve come to realise that being weak is just as equal.

Raya 2019 Part I

Selagi bulan Syawal kan 😬

Cerita dua anak saudara yang dah makin besar dan makin bijak - Aisyah dan Soffea. Mati akal Tilong kadang-kadang nak menjawab.

Kali ni persoalan relativity. 

Diorang ada bertanya pada Mommy diorang kenapa kalau Tilong balik selalu rasa sekejap je. Tak silap aku Mommynya jawab ‘sebab kita suka Tilong. Bila suka sesuatu, masa akan rasa cepat berlalu’

Jadi si Aisyah ni pun bagi idea, kalau macam tu, kita tipulah konon-konon tak suka Tilong. Hahaha. Aku pun jawablah, “Kalau dah tak suka Tilong, nanti mesti nak Tilong balik JB cepat-cepat”

Si Soffea cepat-cepat jawab balik “Bukan tak suka betul. Tipu-tipu je”. Adoilaa.. Aku yang dah tak reti nak explain lebih-lebih terus tanya diorang balik, “Habis tu nak tipu siapa sebenarnya?”

Maka persoalan tu mati kat situ. Haha. And by the way, Tilong misses all my anok-anok weks so much.

Penangan Teh Ais

Satu-satunya minuman berais yang aku tak boleh tahan 😅 Lagi-lagi bulan puasa. Dan dia macam sejenis ketagihan jugak, bila sekali dah beli, mesti esok lusa dan seterusnya nak beli lagi.

Maka mendapatlah sakit tekak, demam dan selsema. Dah masuk tiga hari, tambah dengan air-cond office yang sejuk tak ingat tu. Dapat sekali dengan pakej sakit kepala. Semalam gagahkan diri jugak ke ofis sebab dah commit dengan orang nak submit Isnin. Nak tunggu pukul 5 bukan main seksa. Hari ni aku MC harap-harap cukup rehat dapatlah baik sepenuhnya.

Jadi tak dapatlah rekod setahun tanpa demam. Belum setengah tahun dah kalah. Dahlah bulan puasa tahun ni terasa kelesuan semacam, mungkin faktor umur.

Gastrik tak mengganggu sangat tahun ni, Alhamdulillah. Cuma beberapa hari masa permulaan puasa je. Harapnya tak menyerang lagi sampai ke akhir Ramadhan.

Selit sekali cerita baju raya. Walaupun dah bertekad tak nak pre-order, tapi terjebak jugak. Padan muka aku, sampai ke hari ni tak dapat update lagi. Kat wassap katanya dah pos semalam tapi belum dapat apa-apa e-mail atau tracking number. Cadangnya nak pakai raya pertama, tak tahulah sempat ke tak dia sampai.

Goodbye Kak Siti

Rabu lepas (23 Mei) dapat berita Kak Siti Kalsom, her cancer dah stage 4 dan dah dipindahkan ke Palliative Unit Care. Aku plan dengan kawan-kawan nak pergi HSA hari Jumaat waktu rehat tengahari. 

But lesson learnt. Lain kali nak pergi melawat orang sakit jangan bertangguh-tangguh.

The next day, dapat perkhabaran yang Kak Siti dah tak ada 😭. Aku dapat tengok wajah arwah masa tengah dikapankan, tapi tetap ralat sebab tak pergi melawat Hari Rabu, waktu arwah masih ada.

Cubicle aku dengan arwah bersebelahan je masa di Venture dulu. Maka hari-hari bersembang, makan-makan, order tu, order ni, mengadu tu, mengadu ni.

Aku ingat jugak, 7 years ago (also in May), we attended a funeral of a friend from out office together.  And last Thursday, I attended hers 😭

Bila kawan-kawan kita satu persatu pergi, it reminded us that soon, it would be our turn.

Semoga Allah tempatkan Kak Siti di kalangan orang beriman. Semoga akak berehat dengan tenang di sana. No more pain for you 😭😭

The Straw Story

Dont get me wrong. I’m all for the straw banning.

Cuma selama ni tak pernah terasa kesan tak ada straw tu. Mostly because I’m a hot drinker. Dan bila sesekali terasa nak minum cold drink aku just anggap macam minum dekat rumah. Tak pakai straw pun kan kalau minum air sejuk-sejuk dekat rumah kan?

Well, until today. Guess what?

Yup. Sup tulang! Haha. Tak berjaya nak menyedut tanpa straw, maka aku ketuk-ketuk jelah gearbox tu sampai terkeluar (apa nama benda dalam tulang tu ek?) 

Berjaya keluar, tapi bila nampak bentuk isi tu, tak adalah perasaan beriye nak makan tu sangat 😅 Dan memang comot habislah baju hahaha. Kalau makan kat luar mungkin tak buatlah perangai ketuk-ketuk tulang tu kot.

Jadi nampaknya nak kena belilah straw besi tu.

Doa

Biasakan diri kita untuk sentiasa mendoakan orang yang berbuat baik pada kita.

Yang tolong bukakkan pintu, tahankan pintu, yang bagi jalan, tunjukkan jalan, etc etc.

For all kind of kindness. Be it small or big. From our loved ones, or even strangers.

Semoga kita menjadi orang yang selalu mendoakan kebaikan. As simple as “Semoga Allah berkati kamu” pada setiap orang yang berbuat baik.

Dan semoga para malaikat mengaminkan doa kita.

Dan mana tahu, diaminkan malaikat dan didoakan kembali untuk kita, “Dan untuk kamu juga”

Meraikan

My mom would be the best in this!

Kalau orang bagi hadiah, she would know how to accept it, leaving the person who gave it away with hati berbunga-bunga. Betulke ayat tu hehe. I mean, cara my mom terima hadiah atau pemberian orang tu, dia akan buat orang yang memberi tu rasa sangat terharu dan dihargai.

Kadang-kadang kami anak-anak bagi benda yang dia lebih mampu nak beli sendiri, tapi like I said, she honoured the gift as if it’s a Hermes. 

Masa aku balik kampung baru-baru ni, aku perasan Mak pakai baju yang aku beli masa zaman stadi dulu. Masa tu duit PTPTN masuk, aku biasanya belikan baju untuk mak abah. Biasalah, nama pun student, pakai duit loan pulak tu, so baju-baju tu confirmlah bukan baju mahal.

Aku masih ingat lagi masa beli baju tu, dengan bestfriend masa kat USM dulu (tapi dah lupa pulak kat mana belinya, either Penang or Kuantan). Masa hantar aku nak naik bas kat terminal Kuantan, Mak pakai baju tu. Bestfriend aku ni pun perasan baju yang mak pakai tu ialah baju yang aku belikan.

Dan selepas berapa belas tahun berlalu pun, Mak masih pakai 😭

My sister has this quality too. Jadi aku pun berazam nak jugak terapkan nilai ni dalam diri. Meraikan pemberian orang dan juga orang yang memberi.

Too Good To Be True

I have the coolest boss. Never ever thought that I would be able to say this statement. But yeah, my current boss is cool. He acts upon our escalation, he backs us up, he treats us equally, well, what more do we need from a boss.

And, when some thing is too good, it surely must comes with a twist. He just tendered his resignation 😭😭

During my probation evaluation, he did put some good words about me. But now that he’s resigned, I feel like those words are not valid anymore.

So that’s it. Some things are just too good to be true, right?

So Called The Restless Mind

Masa tengok instagram TheBodyShop pasal achievement mereka coordinate program pembersihan pantai sepanjang  lebih 1600km, aku pun ceritalah pasal tu kat husband. Lepas tu aku bermonologlah sorang-sorang pasal isu alam sekitar.

“Nanti akan datang, manusia semua akan makan synthetic food je”
“Ikan mesti dah tak ada nanti”
“Nak bertanam pun, entah-entah soil tu semua dah terkena radiasi”
“Blablabla”

And my husband turned his head to me:
“Serius ke awak fikir semua masalah tu?”

Oh yes, indeed I am. Masalah negara, masalah dunia semua aku fikir. No wonder I have grey hairs already. And hence the hasgtag #thoughtsofmyrestlessmind

Baju Raya 2019

So it’s that time of the year again. (Or is it actually still too early?😂)

I went through a few IGs for their Raya collection, only to be disappointed with this year’s collection. Okay, I am obviously no fashionita, I just want a decent classic kebarung riau. Is that too much to ask?

Haha. Tu pun nak emo. It’s fine. Nanti pergi cari dekat Angsana or Galleria (kalau rajin). And owh, selamat mengganti puasa for those who are still struggling to ganti.. 💪🏽💪🏽

The Ignorance

I choose to ignore,
not because I dont want to heal;

But dealing with it
would be more painful than the pain itself.

The Trump-ism

Rasanya ramai antara kita yang tak suka pakcik Trump. 

But let’s get real. Most of us are acting no different than him these days. Malas nak taip panjang- panjang. Not that it would make any difference pun.

Spread Love, Not Hate

I don’t understand what I’m hearing these days. I don’t understand, especially when it comes from the person who should be promoting how wonderful Islam is. 

Why are we inculcating hate among us? Why are we using hate as a weapon to win people? What good does it ever do?

We are born different for some reason. And I’m pretty sure that reason is NOT to hate each other. Don’t you think so?

Of Slavery

Semalam hati gundah-gulana, for no reason. So I opted to listen to ever-soothing voice, Ustazah Yasmin Mogahed. Aku dengar random je dekat youtube, not specified any topic. Lepas tu terdengar satu ayat ni:

“Be very very careful what you love most because you’ll become a slave to it”

Dan, macam mana cara nak tahu apa benda yang matter to us the most? Find out what constantly is on our mind, even masa solat. 

It sort of ‘stabbed’ my heart. Aku tau dah apa yang aku kisahkan sangat dalam dunia ni 😔

Tulah jadinya - gundah gulana memanjang bila hati tak diisi sepenuhnya dengan Allah.

Some Battlefield

All that there is to feel
in this battlefield
is loneliness;

Not having a side to pick,
it feels exactly like homeless.

Not having a place to stay,
it feels exactly like no friends.

Even the feelings feel out of sides;
  out of places.

There’s no home in a battlefield;
there’s no friends in a battlefield.

And the worst part is,
that this is not even my battle;

but here I am,
stuck,
and alone in this chaos.

2019

This would be the first post for 2019 although I didn’t do any proper goodbye for 2018, sebab malam tadi tertidur kepenatan huhu.

Azam tahun baru? To be honest, I’m still working on it eheh. Masih listing down apa nak achieve in 2019. For 2018, some was achieved, some was not.

Yang paling aku ingat - in 2018 aku finally dapat offer at dua company yang aku dah lama nak dari zaman mula-mula kerja dulu. Been attending interviews for the companies since 2007 seingat aku, and finally, after fouth and third interview, dapat jugak offer.

Enough about 2018, it was already yesteryear.

And as the cliche goes - cepatnya masa berlalu.

Happy new year, everyone, have a wonderful one ❤️
