Is it a father's curse...
Or does it run in the family?
Is it failure to seek Allah's guidance...
Or is it just the wrong decision?
Is it a test of faith from Allah...
Or is it destined?
Is it the wrong choice of spouse...
Or is it how we choose to run our marriage?
*sigh*
Missed me?!?!
Nope??
Nvm.
I'll still carry on...miss or no miss. Hehe.
It's Sunday & I'm done wif my spring-cleaning (for 2006). I'm 1 day ahead of schedule...I took only 2 days...instead of 3 as planned. Which is gr8...coz it means Hari Raya eve is rest day for me. The best thing abt my spring-cleaning this yr is...I DISCARDED ALMOST 1/2 THE THINGS IN MY ROOM!!! Hehe...just in the mood to throw away things. Total junk collected: 4 big plastic bags!!! So much so I've an empty compartment in my dresser...can play hide-n-seek wif Amsyar!!! I can hide Amsyar & let his Mama & Nani-ma seek for him...frantically! Actually, no need to be frantic. His wails will give him away!! Hahaha...wicked!!
Where was I? Oh, ya...empty compartment...yeah...1 empty compartment in my dresser & the rest of my drawers & compartments are now 1/2 empty (not as full as b4).
I'm all ready to hang my curtains & fit my new bedsheet later tonight. I'm sipping Strawberry Milkshake while clearing my tonnes of emails & reading all my darlings' blogs!! Wonder if there's anything nice on TV/Cable (minus Bride & Prejudice on Central @ 9pm) tonight. Even if there isn't, I'm quite alright, coz I'm quite happy watching songs of Emraan Hashmi's on DVD (which Dad bought 1 mth ago...haha!). I'm keeping track of the no. of gals he has kissed to date! Actually, all the songs have kissings in it!! Tsk tsk tsk. Why am I watching it then? Coz I can't fast already...so it's alright...
Oh I must also add that I successfully completed all 30 Juz of the Quran in 21 days this yr!!! That is with tonnes of discipline to read more than 1 Juz a day. I lost the 1st 6 days of Ramadhan...and it was tiring trying to catch up on the 6 Juz from the 7th day. I perservered nevertheless. Till I'm on track. And then, I decided 1 Juz a day is not a gd idea. So I try to read as much as my brain can take it! By the 27th day, I completed 29 Juz. But I was beginning to get foul-tempered for no reason...and by night...while watching Maid In Manhattan on Ch 5...I find myself going to toilet every hr. Which signals PMS for me. So I had a strong hunch that I wasn't gonna make it for Saturday. So after Maid In Manhattan (12 mn)...I decided to read Juz 30. Completed it. Survived Subuh, but woke up @ 10am the nxt morning only to discover...it's OVER!! Thank God I completed the Quran the previous night. So since Sat (yest that is)...it's been spring-cleaning non-stop...which is why I cld finish faster...coz no need to break for solat. Waahh...kya planning hai!!
Ok...to all my Muslim fans...Eid Mubarak!!!
Woke up @ 9-ish on Sat thinking Mom's back from market & ready to prepare the pulut so I can help...but she was boiling the pulut & when she saw me, she went "Yeayy, Maasi dah bangun...so boleh ikut gi pasar!!" So yeah, I had to accompany her to the market (drove her). Gd thing I followed, coz she 4got to buy banana leaf, which was so impt!!
Came home helped her with the preparation of the pulut...and by 2pm the final product was ready...
Headed to Granny's place...along the way dropped by few places to send the pulut. Had a gd time @ Granny's place. She's doing orite...but not too happy abt the operation that she had to undergo last Thurs. Amsyar went out officially (otherwise it was always visit to the Doctor's!)...and he was well-behaved for his 1st outing (visit his great- grandma!)...check him out here!
By 4.30pm, we left Granny's place...and I had to drive to Sis' MIL's place @ Pasir Ris for her to send the pulut...afterwhich Sis asked 2b dropped to Century Sq as she wanted to do some shopping for the baby (yeah yeah yeah...been waiting for her confinement 2b over coz she's been itching to leave the hse!). I ask her to get me Strawberry Milkshake as I was missing it already. Left her there & we headed home. I was very shagged by then...and was having a slight headache...and it wasn't getting any better wif Amsyar's wailing!!
I slept from 5.30pm & woke up just in time for iftar!! Was feeling too sick I cldn't even eat (pulut). Later went to sleep...and yeah, Amsyar's wailing wasn't much of a help (u know, migraine...I need total darkness + silence + sleep to cure!). Despite refraining from it for so long...I had no choice but to pop 2 panadol extras & continue my sleep. Guess what?! I slept till midnight. That too coz I was woken up by my hp ringing (thank God for that wake-up call!).
I showered, prayed & completed Juz 21 & by 1.30am I was really starving. So I had chicken curry wif bread. After that I was fresh & cldn't sleep...so I finally watched FIGHT CLUB! Not bad the movie, quite fun to watch. I finally went back to sleep @ 4am & woke up for sahur agn @ 5am. *sigh* What a Saturday. Today I've my laser appt @ 1pm...oh yeah, that reminds me...I shld go settle down & get ready to leave @ 12.15pm instead of sitting here in front of the PC!
My darling Sameer is in the final 3!!! It's been a while since the one I'm banking on to win is really making it!! I hope he eventually wins...ok, at least go to Final 2. He's really a blessed kid. Lady luck's been on his side.
Check out Sameer's most touching performance! Although he's always stolen my heart wif his fast numbers...he did the best in this song, which happens to be my all time favourite sad song of the 80s. He's such a sensitive boy, he makes everyone cried in this episode!!! Haha...feels like hugging him!! Can't wait for the end of this show...I hope he becomes LI'L CHAMP 2006!!
That's pretty much expected of me during Ramadhan. No matter how much I try, I really have no time to come online...let alone blog. Thought of doing it over the wkends...but yet, still no time. With my goal to complete reading the Quran in the 30 days of Ramadhan (1 Juz a day)...it's been a crazy chase!!! Hehehe...but I'm on track. Today's the 20th day & I've completed 20 Juz. *clap clap*
At night, my trawih keeps me bz. And I sleep pretty early too...if nothing, by 11.30pm I'm in dreamland already...
Dad's bought 2 DVDs for me, I've even recorded "FIGHT CLUB" on Zee TV couple of wks ago...but till date, have yet to see any!!! Pathetic...for someone who can go on a movie marathon & complete 3 movies in 1 day!
This sounds like my normal Ramadhan...but how come last yr I still had time to blog (I remember posting abt my cookie-baking & shopping etc). Well...here's the reason for why I'm doubly occupied:
WARNING: DO NOT be fooled by that angelic face! He's a tyrant!! He doesn't allow anyone to do anything but entertain him!! He's finally 1 mth (on 30 Sep)...picture taken on 1 Oct while I was watching Tomb Raider on Channel 5 & he's next to me trying very hard to get my attn!! See, he won't even let me sit peacefully & watch TV!! Sis is finally off her confinement period today (44 days)...so is Amsyar. Life's turned upside down since he came. But I must admit, Hajira...u're so rite...he's my migraine & he's my panadol extra!! Whenver he wails for no reason (for fun happiness peace & joy as Nikky wld say it!)...everyone will frantically try to shut him up coz they know I get upset as my migraine gets triggered [DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY, U WON'T LIKE IT WHEN I'M ANGRY!! - Incredible Hulk"]. After a while, I got a solution. I coop myself in the room & blast 103.7FM THR Hindi Power from after my trawih till 12 midnight! Once in a while, Mom will bring him in my room when he's in a more well-behaved mode coz he misses my presence. All these aside...he's a DAAARRRLIINGG!! When I'm home early (b4 6.30pm), if he's wide awake, Mom will ask me to bring him down for a walk...so I'll change out of my office-wear into something "cleaner" & yeah...we'll dance our way down! Yeeehaarrr...
Amsyar's Aqiqah is done @ 3 wks old when Sis is slightly btr healthwise, his Khitan (circumcision) done @ 1 mth old as soon as his jaundice cleared. So now left the cukur-rambut ceremony which will be done on 28 Oct (5th day of Eid). Tomorrow's gonna be a bz Saturday for me, coz Mom's making pulut and distributing it to Granny (it's also visit-granny day) and some close relatives as part of the thanksgiving ritual for the Mom's out-of-confinement as well as the successful circumcision of the baby.
Hmmm...can't wait for him to be bigger for me to wrestle wif him!!
