Selamat Hari Merdeka

MERDEKA!! MERDEKA!! MERDEKA!!
Wow!! Long holiday but still not enough rest...

Last Thursday after work, hubby and I went to KLCC to watch Rush Hour 3. Not many people but 9.20a.m. show was full, we ended up in the 3rd row, anywhere is free tickets, what to complaint?! The movie was ok. After the show, I didn't stay to watch the firework display cause it was too crowded. However, I caught our PM on TV.

On Friday we sent hubby's car (birdie aka kenari) to some sort of 2nd hand car dealer for sale. We didn't trade-in, we left it there and they will look for potential buyer. They will settle all the hassle process for us and as a return we pay them RM800-RM1000. So far, we have yet to get any call. Hopefully, we will get some responses soon. At night, our family (my parents, younger brother & my parents-in-law) have dinner somewhere in Cheras. One word: DELICIOUS!!

On Saturday, mother-in-law force hubby to go to the clinic where she works as a nurse for a Hepetitis B booster. From there, we walked to Pudu LRT station and headed towards Sogo. It was long ago since we last visited Sogo, lots of changes. Then, we took the same LRT to Hang Tuah. We walked to Sungai Wang, is quite far though, to get our working pants which we tailor made in The Page Shop a week ago. We shopped around the Bukit Bintang area, both of us were exhausted, we didn't get anything, too many people, no mood to buy anything, only window shopping. Since we were very tired, we deicided to take public transport** to the clinic (need to give moyher-in-law a lift home). After dinner, we met up Ooi Yin, Soon Wan and another friend (hubby's form 6 mate) in Cheras Steven's Corner. We have a few drinks and of course lots of good chat.

**As all of us know, from Times Square to Pudu is very very near, only 2 bus station away. However, all the taxi driver that we approached ask for RM5, why nobody use meter?! Is this what we achieved after 50 years kemerdekaan? I fully agree with the statement:1st class facilities, 3rd class mentality.

We woke up rather late on Sunday, we went to Pandan Capital to repair hubby's tennis racquet, then parents-in-law's house for "branch". Later, we went Mines as hubby is looking for some shirt to bring to Singapore, but we only manage to get a pair of shorts. Then, we try again in Balakong Jusco. Hubby got another pair of shorts and I got myself a very cheap shirt. At night, both of us busy packing hubby's lugage.

Now, I'm back in the office. Guess what?! Iwas so tired this morning, I fell asleep while I was driving. Surprisingly, noone "honk" me!!

Last Day

Today is last day of the semester.. In other words, EXAM is on the way. Although this badge of students are quite naughty, I'll still miss them during the holiday period. I always complaint that my teaching load is very heavy, but I'll be very depressed if I have no class!! I'm praying hard that next semester load not too heavy...

I'm trying my best to spend as much time as possible with darling as he will be leaving to Singapore next Wednesday morning. I know! I know! Singapore is very near but still I won't have him 24/7 anymore!! **SOB!SOB!**

Last night, his boss & colleagues had a farewell "party" for him at Neway, 1-Utama. I was so malu cause we only arrived 830pm (darling don't allow me to skip my master class which end at 7pm)while the session started at 7pm. The most shocking was his chemist who stay in Banting also join us, it took her 2 hours to reach home yesterday!! **TOUCHING**

Both of our family planning to meet up to have a "proper" dinner since our registration. However, the plan keep on postponing as all of us were really busy last few weeks--brother geeting ready to Macau, dad outstation, darling's uncle ungerwent operation etc etc etc. Hopefully one of this day during the long holiday...

Li Jun (my cute cousin) spent 4days 3nights with us during the school holiday cause her mum went Johor and her dad refude to "jaga" her. My family and I love her very much cause my mum babysit her since baby. She asked me a few WEIRD questions, which some of them I failed to answer. Here are part of our conversation...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jun: You married already?

Me: No, only engaged.

Jun: What is engaged?

Me: ........ he is now my finacee.

Jun: What is fiancee?

Me: .... something in between boyfriend/girlfriend & husband/wife.

Jun: Hmm.. don't understand.

Me: Ok! Ok! He is my husband.

Jun: Why you are not pregnant then?

Me: .....

Jun: What is the different between Jesus & GongGong (our language budha)?

Mum: Jesus speak English, GongGong speak Chinese.

Me: ...

Jun: When Gombak Ah Ku (my mum, we stay in Sri Gombak) become old lady next time, you must take care of her.

Me: Why me? My brother also can take care, right?

Jun: No. They will have their own family to take care.

Me: I also will have husband and kids.

Jun: daughter must take care of her parents.

Me: You take care of her lar since she love you so much.

Jun: Cannot lar! I have to take care of my own parents and Helen Ah Ku (my aunt who is not married)

Me: How?

Jun: Haiya! Ok lar, I take care all of them.

Jun: How lod is grandma?

Mum: Nearly 90.

Jun: Why GongGong haven't take grandma up to the sky?

Mum: ....

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jun: Is this pampers?

Me: No, this is pad.

Jun: Why girls must use pads?

Me: Cause we have period.

Jun: What is period?

Me: Period is some dirty blood which store in our body which will be released every month.

Jun: What is every month means?

Me: January 1 time, February 1 time, March 1 time.....

Jun: Oh...

Me: If don't use pad, blood will be everywhere, very dirty!!

Updates

Time flies, I haven't been blogging for half a months. Life is as hectic as before--busy with work and studies, didn't really spend much quality time with my family and friends. Can't wait till semester break so I can concentrate on my master and catch up with the syllabus.

Entering week 7 for my master class, sadly my brain is still empty. I know I can't blame on the lecturers, I should be more independent, don't rely too much on the lecture notes. Is really hard to juggle between work and studies... wish me luck!

I was load with lots of replacement classes due to the merdeka holiday. Also consultation hours as students start to get panic cause exam is around the corner, not to mention their terrible test 2 result... all the best students!

I was kind of emotion this few days as hubby will start work in Singapore begining of September. All of us know that he will have a better future and of course get better paid there, but thinking of only meeting him once a month is kind of sad. I wish I'm there to take care of his daily need and accompany him.
**will post my registration photo soon.

Last Saturday, I talked to brother via computer. He was busy with work, but he enjoy it. The worst part is he miss us very very much. He even cried when he read mum&dad's sms. Sometime, we take our family and friends for granted. We will only realise the important of family and friends when we are far away from home. I have the same feeling when I was in UK, luckily I have hubby with me that time who support me 24/7.

Bye Bye BRENDON

Brother flied off to Macau yesterday. He starts work today as a Restaurant Assistant Manager in Wynn Hotel.

I was cool all the while till we approached the departure gate. My tears just 'burst' out uncontrolly, I'm sad and also worry about him. We hugged for a few minutes before I "past" him to mum.
**Dad-outstation, Bernard-still sleeping soundly at home

I'm still sad of his leaving and even cried this morning. I know Macau is not very far, he can fly back anytime... I dare not think of the situation when darling leave me end of the month:(

In the evening, hubby and I went to Taman Segar Maybank to deposit some cash for our friend via the machine. Guess what happen?! I key in the account number, put in the cash... suddenly the screen said "Out Of Service, Mesin Tergendala". I was so scared and angry, we called the customer service hotline.

The lady told us that the only thing we can do is to file for a complaint, the person incharge will then settle it for us, which will take us about 7 working days. My questions: there is no proof that we have deposit the cash and why it take so long?? I can't do anything now but to wait patiently.... Hopefully, everything will be fine!!
