This Is It!!!

It was indeed a very long day for me today. I was already at the school compound around 10.15am. A few other parents were already there waiting. Yes, the day that we all had been waiting for…. D Day. I was seriously nervous. A text message came from Nasreen’s teacher informing me that the results would be out by 11.30am. Wow… more than an hour to go. Nasreen is having an eye infection so the doctor advised her to be quarantined at home… and there I was, waiting for the result on her behalf… and experiencing a total nervous breakdown. I was walking back and forth, my palms were cold and white like The Cullens, I had goose bumps all over… “this is worse that getting married”, I was saying to myself. Lucky to the wonderful (and gelabah) mothers like me – Sha, Riz and CT, I tried to calm down. Later Nik came from office to join me. More than 1 hour passed by….. when they called Nasreen’s name a few times, I hurriedly ran to the stage in front of the student hall, waving and s...

Butang Baju Abang Mana Pah...?

I bought a white blouse from ZARA sometime ago and didn’t get the chance to wear it until today. So, last night I took it out and iron it, without realizing that it has more than 20 little buttons on it….!!!!! The blouse is easily wrinkled so no way I’m going to shove it down my body with the buttons unopened. Was pretty sure that it would looked like a used nasi lemak wrapper by the time I managed to put it on my body. Dengan degilnya….. Slowly I unbuttoned each and every one of them, with patience. Looked at my watch, it was already 7.15 am. Damn you buttons! You made me late for work! A few minutes passed by and I managed to unbuttoned all. Quickly, I put on the blouse and now I realized that those needed to be buttoned back, ok! Again…. I buttoned them, one by one – it was harder buttoning it because of my big jari-jemaris and the buttons are so small, half the size of a 5 sen coin, mind you…!!!! Haiyyyaa…. The clock was ticking and I was there in there in my room, still str...

Weekend Getaway

We decided to be spontaneous last week… hence the trip to PD. I feel that the more we age, the more spontaneous we become…. yes? Mid life crisis!? (GBS, comment please!) Last weekend Nik decided to ride to Avillion Admiral Cove, PD. I was thrilled. The furthest we’ve been was only to Cyberview, besides the usual trips to Starbucks Uptown or Taipan USJ for makan makan (what else?). The trips to Uptown were usually late night trips (because we just love to lepak lepak until Starbucks tutup... boleh?), and late because we wanted to avoid the traffic. Yes, traffic there is bad even on weekends … I wonder if the people there ever sleep… Anyway, the plan was to leave in the morning so that we can have breakfast in PD … no rush and a bit relaxing… but when I woke up at 5am on that Saturday, it was drizzling. It drizzled the whole morning, so to kill the time, I decided to do some washing and cleaned the house while waiting for the rain to subside. But the thing is, it never did… and the clock...
