Salam to All.
I wonder if there is still any reader left for this blog. Looking at the date, it does look like that I have been "missing" from blogging for almost 1 year. Many things have happened since then. Many things that I could write about in this blog, but somehow have never taken the time to do it.
I kept promising myself to come back to this blog and almost all the time I will break that promise. I love writing truly but somehow, I was afraid that I may vent my frustration into my writing. That is why I did not blog.
Anyway, Ramadhan is coming soon. This year, there will be only Hubby, me, my mak (who is I believe will not be fasting), Zahra the maid and Syia. Kak Long, Angah and Ayin will be fasting in their respective campus. The first time for Ayin who is in UiTM Puncak Alam, but I guessed there will be a first time for anything.
Yes, we have engaged a maid. She is to take care of my mother more than anything else. Since my hubby's hypoglicemia attack, I have another duty of driving him to and from work. Syia's van driver has had a broken leg a few weeks ago. So my routine for everyday is to drive Syia to school at 7.00 am and after that drive my hubby to work around 7.45 am.
The good thing is that I will get to have breakfast with him in his office. I will buy breakfast for both of us and prepare his morning drink for him. For lunch I will usually pack some rice with a dish of sort.
In the evening normally, I will need to pick Syia from school and my hubby from work. One day in a week it is hubby first and Syia later. So right now, in between my chauffer duties, I will try to do other things like meeting people with my proposal for their retirement planning using the EPF and cash investment scheme. Anyone who want to know more please send me your email address so that I can send you a proposal. (Aiyoo, sempat buat promotion lagi makcik ni kann.... hehehe)
To all who have been lingering by thanks and
Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak.
InsyaAllah we will find LailatulQadar in its midst.
Salam

No Special Topic, Anything Goes !!
I am writing this entry at 2.15 am, malam jumaat pulak tu.....
Don't worry nothing to be scared of, this is the month of Ramadhan, all Syaitan are being tied :-)
Actually, there is no special topic that I have in mind, but since I am awake I feel like yakking on my own.
Yesterday's iftar for us is a full family iftar. Kak Long and Angah arrived home Thursday morning around sahur time.
They sleep almost the whole day and in the evening they helped me in the kitchen preparing for iftar. Ayin and Syia took the day off helping because they had been helping for the past weeks. I usually don't prepare many dishes because hubby likes to buy from outside. Between the 3 of us we made Tomyam, fish & chips and coleslaw.
Hubby brought terubuk and pari bakar, sambal tumis sotong and cream puff. Semua sedap-sedap belaka. So Angah and Kak Long kena postpone diet diorang tu. Memang makin berisi diorang sekarang ni.
At the same time I have 3 Indonesian workers who are renovating our house. One of them is a Christian and 2 are Muslims. A few days into Ramadhan the Muslim guys were fasting. Maybe the weather was not very hot so they can fast while working. I provided them with sahur and iftar food too. I will bring out for them and and place on the table ourside the small hut that we have within our compound. But 3 days ago they have started not to fast. I still give them the sahur and iftar. No food in between, but I think they can have instant noodle cooked with boiled water easily.
While cooking Kak Long spilled the secret that Syia had written an entry in her blog about me. Syia and Kak Long now have a blog too. Syia used to write in Bahasa Melayu sms :-) and I had to put a stop to that. Her BM result was so bad that I was wondering why, until I stumble on her blog. I gave her an ultimatum, either you write in proper language or you close your blog. It is mainly peer influence actually since her friends blog are the same. But reading her entry on me makes me feel kind of mushy hehehhe.
I don't want to make this a long entry so I am stopping here. I think there maybe another story during this Ramadhan soon. That is if I am doing the "qiamullail" in front of my pc, that is hehehe.
Salam Nuzul Quran to all my Muslim friends, 17 Ramadhan is Angah's Muslim calender's Birthday. I had to ganti posa more than 17 days because of that 20 years ago :-). It is all worth it.

Salam Ramadhan 1430H
Ramadhann is here again. I like Ramadhan because I don't have to think what to eat for breakfast, and lunch. The only think is what to cook for iftar and sahur. I like the tarawikh also because it is a once a year affair. This year I try to start from the first day. So far for the last 3 days I am good. Haven't skip it yet. InsyaAllah, I am trying to do it as much as I could.
There are only 4 of us in the house who are fasting. Hubby, me, Ayin and Syia. My mak doesn't fast this year. She is getting quite weak now. Hardly walk or move anywhere now. She spends most of her time in bed. She even eat in the bedroom. The only place she walks to is the bathroom which is only 3 or 4 steps away.
I think she is on her way to become senile (nyanyok). Although she recognises people but many things escape her memories. Solat time is always out. We need to tell her what prayer she is performing and how many rakaat that is. You tell her just 2 minutes away, and she will be asking you again what is she performing. She also need to be bathed as well. It is like going back to become a child once again. For now, I don't have to feed her but I wonder if she will need to be fed later on.
When she is like this, I can see the attitude of my siblings. Who really care for her and who doesn't. Who comes and visit who hardly ask about her. Even those who come and visit may not even spend time to talk to her, just making sure that they show their face. The only regular one is my younger sister. She is here almost every week.
With the ramadhan already starting, I am also thinking of the Aidilfitri. This year is another year which I can't contribute financialy towards the expenses for the aidilfitri. It is a big burden on my husband because the relatives who comes to our house every year is mine. Hardly anyone from his side comes, so he is spending on my behalf. I don't know how long it's going to be anyway.
To all my Muslim friends out there
Salam Ramadhan, may this Ramadhan be the best for all of us.
