Power of words

Dua tahun kebawah / dua tahun dan kebawah / bawah 2 tahun

Soalan aku ialah.. Dua tahun tu dikira camne? Adakah cuma hingga birthday yang kedua? Atau hingga sehari sebelum birthday dia yang ke tiga?

Teruna aku yang 2 tahun 1 bulan umurnya itu dah tak dikira dua tahun lagi ke? Dia belum 3 tahun pun.

The reason I asked these questions (sound stupid.. I know.. I know...) is because I want to book a flight (KL-Kuantan) on 16th April. Now.. as usual, I gave my details so on and so forth. I mentioned about my son

Dia : berapa orang Puan?
Aku : 2, saya ngan anak saya, umur dia 2 tahun (because I just have to pay 10% of applicable fare)
Dia : ok. .. 2 tahun genap ke?
Aku : *soklan menda nih* 2 tahun 1 bulan
Dia : oh. kalau camtu, puan kena bayar children fare RM xx
Aku : 1 bulan pun kira ke? bukan ke 2 tahun tu sampai sebelum harijadi dia yang ke 3?
Dia : tak puan, sampai birthday ke dua sahaja. Lepas tu kira children.
Aku : oh ok.
Dia : so puan, nak confirm?
Aku : takape, nanti saya confirm semula *letak tepon*

Took a flight about 2 months back. Paid only 10% of adult fare for my teruna. He sat on my lap of course. After 2 months I have to pay 50% plus tax for the same toddler...okay.. he'll get a seat but what for? hmphhhh I thought wrong the whole time thinking 2 years old is up till his 3rd birthday.

Just because of that simple term the airlines uses, I have to pay more. The power of words!

So what say you? Dua tahun kebawah tu nak start dari mana? habisnya di mana?

Relieved

Been trying to post this entry since last week but to no avail. Don't know what's wrong with my blog.. seems like everyone else is at ease publishing their entries..

Thank you guys for all your support. Ana, Nik, Mamarisyia, Syikin, Bie, Kopisuam... I learned a lot from you guys. I've jotted down all surah and doa given, InsyaAllah I'll practice them for my benefit. It's true, some things are blessing in disguise indeed, in this case of mine, it served as a mild reminder for me to perform my duty as a wife, a good wife for that matter. I'm on my way there.

Had a looooong conversation with abang. Straight things out.... yada yada yada... the rest is history. Alhamdulillah I felt relieved after pouring out my feelings, my hope, my worries etc. I don't want it to bug me... rimaslah rasa camni. Yeah... gave him a very mild(?) warning too... how evil I am *evil laugh*, but hey! for my marriage to last, I'll do everything in my power.

On different story...

I'll be in Kuantan from 17th to 21st April for job related matter YAY!!! job pun job ler, janji dekat ngan husband eheheheh. This will be my first experience as interviewer.... but those interviewee certainly have no idea right? So berlagak sombeng lerlah ehe...

On teruna

Ibu : abang dah makan?
Teruna : dah
Ibu: makan apa?
Teruna : acik cicap (nasik kicap)
Ibu : lagi makan apa?
Teruna : ayam leng (ayam goreng)
Ibu : dah minum susu?
Teruna : tak edap (tak sedap)
Ibu : abang nak apa?
Teruna : ebi (baby)Ibu : *gelak tak terjawab*

Adehhhhh... ni mana punya ajaran plak nih!

Ibu : ayah mana?
Teruna : apong (kampung)
Ibu : nak ikut ayah?
Teruna : nanak... itut awi (taknak, nak ikut MAWI)
Ibu : mawi bakpe?
Teruna : awi ayah botak (mawi... ayah botak)
(tu diaaaaa anak aku... mawi=ayah=mawi=botak)

Ibu : abang sayang ibu?
Teruna : ayang *bunyi kiss*
Teruna : abang atu abah abah nenek (abang nyanyi satu labah labah ngan nenek)
Ibu : pandai abang
Teruna : *gelak ngekek ngekek*
Teruna : abang aik etai (abang naik basikal)

There he was busy pedalling back and forth from living room to kitchen. That's ayah boy!

kusut

Semalam...

Aku jadi kusut lepas terima satu sms pelik yang datang daripada henpon abang. Lepas sesi query, aku boleh terima tapi masih ada rasa semacam kat hati ni. Uiiissshh ni kerja syaitan ni mainkan perasaan aku agaknya..

Aku terima alasan dia, aku percaya sebab dia suami aku. Tapi aku akan berjaga2, aku tak boleh leka walaupun aku ni tinggal berjauhan daripada dia.

Hari ini...

Aku YM kawan aku yang seorang ni, luahkan perasaan pada dia. Alhamdulillah rasa tenang sikit.

Aku rasionalkan balik. Kalau betul apa abang cakap. Aku anggap ini peringatan yang Allah beri pada aku untuk jadi isteri yang baik pada suami, isteri yang tak melupakan tanggungjawabnya pada rumahtangga walaupun tinggal berjauhan dengan suami. Aku tak boleh take it for granted.

Harapan aku, expectation aku pada abang sama jugak.

Ya Allah, peliharalah kesejahteraan rumah tangga kami, jauhkanlah perkara-perkara buruk daripada rumah tangga kami, peliharalah mawaddah dan rahmah di dalam rumah tangga kami hingga ke syurga Mu Ya Allah.

Never Ending Work

Just came back from a meeting. Another burden on my shoulder. But it's ok. Positive thinking Angah - they give me more work because they believe in me, because the know I perfom well, because they don't have other people to dump the load on? The best part of this new responsibility of mine is that.... I can surf the internet all I want, the whole day if I want (including blogging and blog hopping) without anyone questioning hahahahaha. How cool is that? BUT... a big BUT there... there'll be endless reports! I hate reports!

Abang is coming today. He's involved in a bicycle race tomorrow and the day after at Damansara. I think I'll go with him, just for the fun of it. It has been a long time since I join a race, any race for that matter. I miss the fun, the thrill, the adrenaline rush I feel everytime we organise an event especially bicycle race. Kuantan Duathlon is scheduled in May. I'm reserving my annual leave for the event. As usual- Angah the liason officer or Angah the accomodation towkay or Angah the race MC.... I wanna be Angah the nobody-just there-because-her husband- is there..... can or not? like last year, Abang will be the technical director.

Down the memory lane......LTdL 2001, we met (got enggaged 2 months after). LTdL 2002, we went as an enggaged couple, LTdL 2003, we went as a married couple. LTdL 2004, we did not go - I gave birth to our bundle of joy in the same month. Always in different department. He's a commisaire (usually judge 2 - on motorcycle) and I'm with cavalcade. He stays at 5 star hotel, I stay at no star hotel... ohhh in 2003, we stayed together... he fetch me from my supposed-to-stay hotel to his. Send me back in the morning. Everyday. For 2 weeks. Some of us did not know the fact that he's my husband. Ingat aku dok ngendeng officer... apa kelassss!

she : bukan main ko ngah, tangkap komisar, volunteer tak mo..

aku : apsal, jeles?

she : tak ah... best ah.. boleh jalan2, makan2 free lepas race.

aku : ok lah

she : abis ko nak series ke ngan komisar tu lepas ni?

aku : tak paham

she : ye ah.. biasakan bebudak dok rapat masa race je, pastu bye byelah.

aku : wei... komisar tu husband akulah! aku bukan jenis tu, setakat nak makan free, jalan free pi mengendeng officer, sorrylah.

she : lor, husband ko ke? kenapa tak bagitau, bebudak dah sok sek...sok sek cakap pasal ko ngan komisar tu tiap malam keluar, pagi baru balik.. sorilah.

aku : lenkali tanyalah dulu, jgn memandai buat andaian. Kalau aku betul nak buat baik aku ngendeng Presiden Komisar ke, Toke race ni ke..takkan aku nak canang kat semer orang aku dah kawin. Kalau orang tanya aku bagitauler..

she : ok.... sori..

aku : *thinking* ada jugak pompuan ngok yang sanggup 'kawan baik' ngan officers semata2 nak makan ngan jalan2 free.... soalan aku takkan officrs tu bawak jalan, bawak makan free free je? Ntah....

Hmmmm I wonder, ada tak yang mengendeng my hubby?

Ibu Muda

Pertama kali berjumpa namun kemesraan tetap terasa.

DPA 2/2004. Alhamdulillah aku lulus. Cemerlang/kepujian/lulus cuma akan diberitahu masa convocation September atau Oktober nanti. Harap2 baju istiadat masih muat lepas fitting bulan 12 dulu. Satu jer aku terkilan. Sapa2 yang pregnant, tak muat pakai baju istiadat tuh, tak ke pentaslah mengambil skrol. Aku rasa cam diskriminasi plak. Pregnant tak pregnant kan semua pun bertungkus lumus selama 6 bulan sepanjang DPA tu. At least sediakan guideline dresscode untuk pregnant officer lah. Macam tak logik je nak merancang untuk tak pregnant selama 10 bulan (habis DPA awal bulan 12) semata2 untuk event sehari tu? Dahlah masuk servis sampai habis DPA tak boleh pregnant(setahun). But understandable sebab modul2 DPA yang lasak tak memungkinkan pregnant officer untuk attend. But for the convocation? may be not. Mungkin boleh aku suarakan esok. Oh..esok nak ke INTAN Kiara mengambil sijil BTN.

Mungkin sebab aku dah teringin menimang cahayamata kedua, maka aku membebel. hmmm
