Sejak dari awal cuti sekolah lagi, banyak jugak jemputan kenduri kahwin yang aku terima. 2 orang abang pupu i.e cousins brothers (anak2 adik mak aku) telah pun selamat mengahwinkan anak-anak masing-masing. Tarikh kenduri pun selang seminggu saja tu. Aku cuma dapat pergi pada salah satu saja kerana yang mula tu aku ada di KL masa tu.
Pada hujung minggu ni, anak Abang Long, Mamat, pulak nak mengakhiri zaman bujang dia. Pada hujung minggu ni pernikahan akan di adakan di kediaman pengantin perempuan nun di Trengganu. Dah lah dok hujan, dok banjir, diorang pulak tetapkan tarikh nikah kat sana tu pada bulan Disember. Hubby dah janji dengan abang long nak mengikuti rombongan ke Terengganu, maka akan ke sana lah kami pada hujung minggu ini. Abang Long, Abang Ngah, S, Shah dan keluarga masing-masing akan bertolak dari Penang, melalui East-West Highway, merentasi Kelantan ke Kuala Trengganu. Aku, berempat beranak (sebab Ayin dengan Syia saja yang ada tu) akan ke KL, ambik Kak Long dan Angah kemudian convoy dengan Abang Lang dari Shah Alam. Aku dengar cantik perjalanan dari Kuantan ke KT tu. Aku belum lagi pernah sampai ke KT, hubby dah pernah dah beberapa kali. Dah beberapa kali plan nak ke Terengganu, tapi berkali-kali tu jugaklah terpaksa di batalkan. Mungkin kali ni ada rezeki.
Mamat ni, anak lelaki sulong, walaupun dia ada kakak tetapi kakak dia belum bertemu jodoh lagi. Kalau ikut cucu lelaki pun kira dia lah cucu lelaki mak-ayah aku yang sulong. Muda belia lagi, baru 26 tahun umur dia. Oleh kerana dah bertemu jodoh, muda pun tak kan nak tunggu lagi dah kan? Jadinya, dia jugaklah yang nak menjadi anak saudara pertama aku yang akan mendirikan rumah tangga. Lepas majlis nikah dan kenduri di Terengganu, Abang Long akan adakan kenduri kahwin Mamat ni di sebelah sini pada hujung bulan Disember. Jauh jugak jarak masa tu, tapi elok kut senang orang Trengganu nak datang sini kut.
Selain dari kenduri Mamat ni, ada lagi anak sepupu aku nak dilangsungkan juga. Tarikh dia sehari selepas tarikh Abang Long buat kenduri kat rumah dia. Seminggu lepas tu kakak aku, Kak M (yang Tj kata terrer tu!!) pun nak buat kenduri jugak. Anak perempuan sulong Kak M, Salwa (segagan atau sama baya dengan Mamat) pun nak kahwin akhir Disember ni. Walaupun Kak M berbesan orang Trengganu jugak, aku rasa aku tak akan ke Terengganu sekali lagi agaknya. Kak M tak pun pelawa kami untuk pergi kenduri di rumah besan dia tu, kami assume tak payah pergi lah. Kenduri besan Kak M pertengahan Januari 2006.
Kawan aku kat utara pun nak menerima seorang lagi menantu. Awal tahun 2005 dulu tu dah langsung dah si adik. Yang ni abang lah pulak. Aku belum menerima jemputan, tapi dah diberitahu oleh seorang kawan yang tinggal di Perlis. Tak tentu lagi aku nak pergi ke tak kalau mendapat jemputan tu. Kawan aku di Perlis tu sukalah kalau kami dapat pergi dan kemudian lepak2 kat rumah dia. Mungkin jugak boleh pergi shopping di Padang Besar sebelum balik tu. Tengok keadaan dululah sebab kat kampung pun masa tu ada jemputan jugak. Kalau diatur rumah, kenyang sangat dapat makan free tu.
Aku harap semasa kami di Terengganu tu tak lah hujan dan banjir. Kalau tak pastinya akan jadi Monsoon Wedding. Nak pergi ke rumah pengantin kena naik bot pulak, tok kadi datang pun naik bot jugak, :-). Habis semua baju2 lip lap dan yang glemer2 tu basah, kan haru tu. InsyaAllah, tak hujan.
Minggu ni jugak ada Monsson Cup di Kuala Terengganu. Baru ni hubby ada suruh kawan dia book bilik hotel untuk kami sekeluarga di Primula Beach Resort. Dah semua bilik-bilik di hotel tu sudah di tempah. Besan Abang Long ada sediakan 1 rumah 4 bilik, tapi kerana agak ramai, aku dan keluarga buat keputusan nak tempah hotel sajalah. Bila dah dengar kisah Primula tu penuh, aku pun tanya sorang lagi kawan untuk tinjau2 kat tempat lain. Baiknya hati dia, tolong Kak N dia ni. Dapatlah aku tempah bilik hotel tu, tak lah berapa jauh dari rumah kenduri kata dia, 20 minit saja dengan kereta. Aku kenalah percaya cakap dia sebab aku tak tahu pun kat mana tempat tu :-). Oleh kerana dia sangat baik hati tu, hubby dah janji nak bawak Buah Pala jeruk untuk kawan aku tu. Seronok dia bila dia dengar tu, kata dia buah pala pun sedap jugak tu. Aku kena pulak dok peringatkan hubby untuk beli jeruk buah pala tu, takut nanti, dia terlupa, malu aku nanti. Mintak tolong, dah tu janji pulak tu tapi tak bawak. InsyaAllah aku juga akan di belanja makan nasi dagang pada minggu ini.
InsyaAllah, kami semua selamat dalam perjalanan kami untuk "membina mesjid" dan mengeratkan silaturrahim dengan orang-orang di Terenganu tu.

Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah...
There were 3 events which I have to be thankful for.
First.
Angah is not at home, she is at the hockey tounament in Seremban. We crossed path, I was on the way home from KL, she was travelling down south. Would not be seing her for 2 weeks.
Friday evening, hubby said that he would be going to visit his sister Kak Maz, who came back to Penang. He said we (Ayin, Syia and I) could go with him. We did. On the way to Kak Maz's 3rd son's house in Penang, Angah called and told me that she had red spots all over her body. My first reaction was " Are you feverish?" She said she wasn't but right now feeling slightly feverish. " Please drink lots of water" I didn't want to say the word that was already inside my brain. I was scared stiff. She said " the water here is rusty, ma. The facilities are so terrible". I asked again " Isn't there any mineral or bottled water?" She said no. OMG, please don't make it dengue. I said please ask your teacher to bring you to the hospital, told her I was scared it could be dengue. She said her trainer was on the way to the hostel to take her to the hospital.
OK then, much later I smsed to get the latest news, she was on the way to the hospital with 3 teachers and another girl who had the same symptom. I was quiet all night long at the nephew's home. On the way back to our house, I was too scared to event speak. I was praying hard that Angah didn't contract dengue fever. Smsed her, but there was no answer, when I called, I was greeted by the voicemail. Desperately waiting for some answers, I called some of her friends whom I know were with her. It was late so it was no suprise that I was getting voicemails from all. I didn't know how I slept but managed to do so.
The next morning, the first thing I did was to call one of her friend's no. A lady teacher picked up as the girl was in the toilet. Told me that Angah had just had ellergy and she was doing fine. She couldn't answer my called because her handphone battery was too low. I was so relieved to hear that. Managed to later talked to Angah herself to ensure myself she was OK. She was given a jab for the ellergy.
Alhamdulillah, Angah is OK.
Second.
My younger sister came to my house on Saturday and handed me 2 pairs of blouses. S bought herself a few pairs and bought for me 2 pairs. However she over estimated my size. Both were TOO big for me. Can't quite remember when did we ever given each other presents anyway. I guessed she was just grateful for the support hubby and I have been giving her. Said thanks, but told her I would have to exchange for smaller sizes. Offered her dinner which she accepted after seeing ikan terubuk belah belakang on the plate :-), :-). She even invited her son W to come over to eat dinner at our house, which he did in time to sit and enjoy the food with my hubby.
Alhamdulillah for the 2 blouses.
Third.
Today, Sunday, went out with my hubby. The plan was for him to renew his car roadtax in Kulim, prior to that we had to buy breakfast for mak, the girls and bibik. Did that and off we went to the wet market to buy fish and veggies. Sent back the things and we were on the way to Kulim. But the Takaful office was closed, miscalculation on my part because I thought that they would be opened like the JPJ etc, in Kedah. No, they are working from Monday to Saturday. Their week-end is Sunday unlike some other organisations in Kedah. Too bad. We were both already so hungry by then, stopped to have a brunch. Told hubby need to go pay the streamyx since my connection was down, I thought it was due to me not paying the bill. I usually forget the bill until TM disconnect me. But that was not the only reason. Couldn't get connected even after I came home a few hours later. Called 1 300 number again and after a few calls, was told that my network driver was not updated. At first, I thought we had to go to the shop which had changed the network card a few weeks ago, I found the disk and update it myself with the help of hubby. Still couldn't get connected, had another technical advise session with the TM guy, what a nice and friendly person he was!!!. In the end, it was much later that I managed to get myself back onto the net.
While we were out, I told hubby that I need to go and exchange the blouses. Since the shop was empty of customers, we were able to pick and chose and try freely. Found the Indon assistant to be helpful and friendly. After much trying and choosing, I finally found the suitable one for the exchange. On top of that I had another pair of baju kurung, compliment from my hubby, hehehe.
Alhamdulillah for the understanding and generous hubby. Although he is always teasing me, for always "wasting" my time on the net, chatting and browsing, but he went all out to help when the connection was down. Was already prepared to take the PC back to the shop had it not been resolved. And of course I have another brand new baju kurung to go to the weddings in December *hint for the next entry*

Perjalanan Pulang
Alhamdulillah, aku dah sampai balik ke rumah.
Selepas sessi menebeng di kedai mamak dengan Makandeh, Auntie Yan dan Syida pada malam Khamis tu, aku pun di hantar balik oleh MakAndeh ke hotel. Kami hantar Kak Yan dulu, strategi lagi lah tu kan. Nak tunjuk jugak kat famili Kak Yan yang kami ni prihatin kat dia, hantar sampai depan rumah, dengan selamatnya. Dibantu oleh roti canai yang di tapau untuk "upah" buka pintu tu, InsyaAllah lain kali Kak Yan boleh dapat lesen lagi :-) , :-) . Semua suami2 yang mithali perlu bagi sedikit kebebasan kepada isteri2 mereka untuk bersama2 kawan2. A little space to spice up your life. Baru lah isteri2 bersemangat dan lebih sayangkan suami diorang tu. Betul kan puan2 semua? Hehehehe.
Sampai kat hotel, aku fon PS, untuk dia bukak pintu. Nowadays the hotel bagi 1 saja kunci, kesian PS kena bangun buka pintu untuk aku. PS tak ikut kami sebab, dia nak study. Friday dia ada exam.
Dah masuk, aku sambil dok pack up barang2 aku, sambil hantar sms kat sorang kawan tu. Kami ada ajak dia datang menebeng sama, katanya dia ada hal. Agaknya idea menebeng dengan makcik2 bukan satu idea yang memberansangkan dia untuk keluar malam. Aku cuma nak make sure dia OK saja lah.
Tidur pun lewat jugak dah, dekat pukul 1 pagi, seriau jugak takut aku tak terbangun pagi, sebab, aku nak kena check-out awal selepas breakfast. Nak kena sampai ofis sebelum 8.30 pagi sebab dah janji dengan boss nak pergi dengan dia ke tempat meeting tu. Boss aku, dia belum pernah ke tempat meeting tu lagi. Sebenarnya aku nervous jugaklah pergi bersama dengan boss aku tu, walaupun itu adalah satu peluang yang amat di nantikan oleh sesetengah pihak.
Alhamdulillah, terbangun seperti biasa pukul 6.00 pagi bila alarm dari handfon bunyi. Lagipun, suara imam mesjid Petronas KLCC tu amat kuat kedengaran masuk ke bilik aku. Aku bangun, solat, mandi dan siap. Bila dah siap PS dan aku bawak barang turun ke kereta, naik breakfast, check-out dan bertolak ke ofis.
Hubby telefon suruh sembang dengan Angah. Hubby dah beritahu yang Angah nak ke Seremban pagi tu untuk tournament hoki. Macam biasalah, mak nak kena bagi pesan-pesanan untuk anak supaya berhati-hati, jaga diri baik dan sebagainya. Jadi kami berselisih lah, aku nak balik Angah nak turun ke Seremban. Dua minggu Angah kat Seremban tu.
The meeting went well. I didn’t expect it NOT to go well anyway. The only thing is it gives me the impression that I may be retiring earlier than I plan to. Takeovers are sinister tools, but life goes on. It’s a MUST. Just need some planning, back-up plan, contigency plans. Kita merancang, Allah yang tentukan. Aku tawakal sajalah.
Dah sampai balik dari meeting tu, terserempak dengan PS nak pergi lunch dengan another colleague. Suruh dia pergi dan tapau something simple untuk aku. Aku nak check e-mails dan sign documents yang perlu sebelum aku keluar dari ofis. Bila PS balik dari lunch aku dah hampir kebulur dah J . Makan nasi goreng yang dia beli untuk aku, lepas tu pack up untuk bertolak. Masa tu dah pukul 3.00 ptg dah. Cadang nak singgah ke Cyberjaya jenguk Kak Long sebelum pulang.
Sampai kat hostel MMU, aku pinjam towel Kak Long sebab aku nak mandi dan tukar baju. Satu hari ber 3 piece suit, rasa dah rimas. So, aku mandi dan tukar ke jeans dan t-shirt. Segar aku lepas mandi tu, jamak solat kat bilik kak long, dan finally bertolak dari cyberjaya pukul 4.30 ptg. Tengok PS pun letih, dia tidor masa aku drive tu aku drive terus sampai Bukit Gantang. Lagipun hujan sepanjang jalan malas aku nak stop kat Tapah macam selalu tu. Kami stop situ, aku solat Maghrib/Isyak, makan sikit, beli buah2an sikit, baru PS take over the wheel sampai rumah dia. Sampai rumah aku dah pukul 10.00 malam. Hubby tak ada sebab dia pergi jumpa kakak dan adik dia. Bila dia balik pun aku tak sedar. On TV tapi rasanya TV tu yang tengok aku bukan aku tengok TV pun. Ngantuk sangat, terjaga sekejap masa hubby balik (tapi tak tanya pukul berapa kat hubby macam Kak Yan cerita dia kelentong Hero Tamil dia tu :-) )
Pagi ni dah kembali ke ofis aku. Alhamdulillah aku selamat dalam perjalanan pulang.
