This Past 2 Weeks

It's been such a heart-wrenching 2 weeks. Starting with the day my arwah SIL Kak Ros was taken to the hospital on Sunday. I have yet to write about the ordeal. Soon. I wish to document the memory. However, I am still struggling to come to terms with her passing. I wake up every day with a heavy heart, knowing she is no longer around. Sometimes I feel all that happened the past weeks is just a nightmare. How can such a beautiful soul be taken away so suddenly? Allah... So happen the same week, little Ilham had a mishap at his taska. Another dugaan for the family. I pray he overcomes his trauma and be the same cheerful little rascal. Let's see... I delivered a palazzo ordered via IG. Alhamdulillah... The customer added another order, a full blouse + pants. I have yet to start on that. That was the week my SIL was still warded. I remember I took anak comel to make the delivery and rushed to the hospital right after.  The palazzo. I love this batik. Lama dok fikir nak buat

Bibs Completed, Some Pouches Too

I completed the baby bibs, along with a few small pouches. All ready to send to the collection centre. I actually had some help. After I started sewing a few, I realised I need to get more nice, cute and good quality cotton materials. So I asked some friends if they are interested to contribute. Just the cost of materials to be used - the cotton tapes, cotton cloth, thread, etc. For sewing service, my energy 😊, it's free. Alhamdulillah I have generous friends.  Completed 10 bibs. Last minute another friend requested 5 of these. Insyaallah will try to make them. The small pouches. However, these small thingies prove to be quite a challenge. Since they are small, they are actually quite difficult to sew. At first lah. After sewing 2, I got the momentum already. Someone very generous agreed to 40 of these... Alhamdulillah... pelan-pelan jahit 😅 Thank you to friends and to that tall, fair and slightly tho questionable handsome brother who contributed 😆. Semoga murah reze

Baby Bibs

I volunteered to participate in this drive to sew bibs for cancer babies on Tuesday afternoon. That night, my beloved sister-in-law Kak Ros passed away. She had thyroid cancer. I'm doing this to honour you, dear sister. Just finished sewing the first one.

Tiada

Wahai Kakak Baik, Rehatlah. Duhai Kakak Cantik, Tidurlah. Allahummaghfirlaha warhamha wa ‘afiha wa’fuanha. Semoga Allah mengampuninya, merahmatinya, memberikan keselamatan dan memaafkan kesalahannya. Al-Fatihah untuk kakak ipar tersayang, Rosiah bt Shamsudin. (19/02/19, 8.59pm)

Review Ikhlas

Hari ni I nak buat 2 reviews. Unpaid review yang ikhlas. I akan promote anything yang I rasa bagus 👍. First sekali pasal makan. Semalam Hubbs and I hantar anak comel dan BFF dia ke AEON Nilai. Katanya nak round-round kot lah ada kerja part-time. Dah biasa kat sekolah jumpa kawan-kawan, sekarang bila dah tak sekolah memang tak senang duduk 😅. Lepas drop them off, Hubbs and I mula-mula plan nak lunch di Batang Benar makan ayam salai masak lemak cili api dan yang sewaktu dengannya. Bukan apa, a few days ago makan keli salai masak lemak cili api dekat satu kedai kat Nilai yang macam viral juga. Tapi punyalah kecewa. Tak pedas langsung. I ni kalau makan masak lemak cili api tangan tak pijar lepas makan maknanya tak berapa kicklah tu 😆. Memandangkan semalam Jumaat, nak ke Batang Benar tu takes time juga, we decided to have lunch di Nilai. Teringat kat satu kedai ni yang iklan selalu lalu kat IG. Namanya Paperbox. Nama Mat Salleh tapi kedai nasi campur specialty masak lemak cili api. V

Sukan Pagi

Pagi tadi sebahagian Grup Sukan Malam bersukan waktu pagi. Kita orang main badminton 😊. Selepas tengok anak comel and I main badminton tepi rumah petang Isnin hari tu, Hubbs ajak sewa court. Wahhh... dah go professional ni! Mulanya kita orang bertiga saja anak-beranak. Hubbs bayar untuk sejam saja. Elok habis main, baru duduk jap Atie hantar text bagitau dia orang on the way. Dengan segera bayar untuk lagi satu jam! It was our first time playing at a proper court, for most of us, except for Hubbs yang biasa main masa kat Brunei dulu. Verdict - semua orang enjoy 😍. Siap nak main lagi very soon! Orait, nanti plan lagi 💪.  The first hour kami bertiga saja. Semangat main sejam. Baju habis lencun dengan peluh! Lepas tu Atie dan Ijul sambung. I jaga budak kecik dalam stroller tu. Ini lah linesman untuk pertandingan hari ni! OK semua dah masam dengan peluh. Balik ni mesti pengsan. Tapi budak ni yang pengsan dulu rupanya 😁!

Makan-makan Gathering

Sebenarnya perut masih rasa senak ni. Terlebih makan 😅. Hari ni family gathering for makan-makan. Lama tak jumpa. As usual, portnya di rumah Nor di Denai Alam. Alhamdulillah ada kesempatan untuk jumpa semua adik-beradik. Dan alhamdulillah ada adik ipau yang selalu sudi jadi tuan rumah 😍. Agenda memang makan saja. I contributed perut masak lemak cili api dengan rebung. Memang buat kaw-kaw punya pedas! Tema menu - masakan kampung. Tapi last-last campur western pun ada 😆.  Sampai saja "pool party" dah mula. Tengah panas pukul 1.30 kot... Kebal betul budak-budak ni! Macam lifeguard pulak 😁.  Meriah betul lauk. Ikan, sotong dan udang bakar hasil Chef Mie, asam pedas tulang masakan Nor... Maklumlah, orang Melaka kan. Sedap... Siti pulak bawak buttermilk chicken. Anak comel requested asam pedas ikan pari. Sebab Nor tak jumpa pari dekat pasar, dia siap carikan ready-made asam pedas pari 😇.  Suasana di dapur. Lepas lunch prepare tea pulak. Mija dan Mie buat roti ja

19 Years... and Counting

It was our 19th anniversary last 30th January. 19 years plus 8 years of knowing each other. Lama tu... No celebration since it was mid-week. Just dinner sekali dengan anak comel buka puasa. Did receive a nice text at exactly 12 midnight 😍. Anyway, ahamdulillah for the long 19 years. Full of ups and downs, tears and laughters. And so blessed to have a beautiful daughter to complete our marriage. Celebrate anniversary di Nando's sebab tempat favourite dah tutup 😅
