The Gosselin Family

Gosselin Family

Gambar keluarga di atas xde kena mengena ngan aku tapi aku dah jatuh cinta ngan kisah keluarga Gosselin ni eversince aku tgk first dokumentari diorg kat Discovery Home & Health Channel of 'Surviving of Twins and Sextuplets'. Aku rasa bukan aku saja suka tgk kisah family diorg ni, ramai lg kot sbb after that first dokumentari, keluar pulak dokumentari kedua and now dah become a reality tv show, Jon & Kate Plus 8 with bape episodes tah kat DHH yg ditayangkan pada hari Rabu kul 9 pm.

Kisah keluarga Gosselin ni jadi tumpuan coz diorg ada anak kembar pompuan yg skrg berumur 7 thn dan KEMBAR 6 ( 3 boys and 3 girls) berumur 3 tahun. Well, actually the twins and sextuplets were not all conceived in natural manner but all thru fertility treatment as the mother, Kate has ovarian syndrome problems. Rupanya dalam treatment 'tabung uji' ni, beberapa telur dan sperma yg telah disenyawakan ( called follicles) di luar akan di tanam kedalam rahim coz possibility utk these 'follicles' berjaya develop didalam rahim amat kurang. Dalam kes Kate, terdapat 7 follicles di tanam, cuma 1 follicle saja gagal berkembang. Meaning she has 6 babies in her belly. Though dr,. cadangkan 'reduction' dilakukan utk mengurangkan jumlah bayi dalam kandungan, this couple refuse to do it and choose to proceed with all six babies. And the beautiful part, the sextuplets are 3 boys and 3 girls....nice number, huh? Kuasa Allah s.w.t....Kate delivered the sextuplets at 26 weeks. Walaupun lahir pramatang, all six babies survived and grow healthily. Semua comel2 belaka.

I think what people impressed with this family, is because they take care all the 8 children on their own. Takde maid, xde parents yg duduk sekali tolong diorg. Jon, the father works (as what I don't know) from7 am to 7 pm. And Kate stays at home to take care the 8 children by herself. But she's one organized person that I've ever met ( I mean thru the her shows that I've watched). Even DHH labels her as super organized mum. Her house looks neat and clean ( if just for one show I believe it's just to show off but the TV crews are there most of them, so it proves that it's her way of living - house must clean). Kate has her own way of organizing life. She labels everything.There's even a chart showing her children's sitting arrangement on the dining table! And her twins also has adopted the organizing habits...how effective! But between all the chaos in the house, she still looks good for a mum of 8 children. When the first documentary came out, the twins were 4 years old and there was a scene where one twin read...so aku tertanya2 bila la masa dia ajar anak2 dia membaca. Dalam episod realiti tv show pulak, now Kate tgh toilet train the 3 girls. It seems dia berjaya train the girls guna potty. Jelesnya aku sbb aku pon penah try nak toilet train kembar tu tapi penat weh, asik bertabur aje n aku asik nak mop lantai. Last2 give up, pakai la diapers balik.

Having twins myself, and remembering the days when they were babies, changing diapers, feeding, bathing, when they were sick and now as toddlers, to handle the fights and all kind of things, I know how much work to do. And with that, multiply the effort three times ( 3 pairs of twins!) and not forgetting the twins girls.... gee...it really requires physical and mental strength. Jon and Kate Gosselin are one tough parents indeed!

I miss my children....

I didn't bake cheesecake last nite, in fact when I arrived home last nite, I didn't do anything productive for my house. I came back quite late, around 9 pm after going round and round Jusco until I got tired. At least I've bought some stuffs and managed to buy a wedding present for my old friend..his wedding is on this Sunday. It's a wooden cabinet which he has to assemble it on his own...I know guys like this Handy-Manny stuff (if u are watching Disney Playhouse, u know what I'm talking about :) )

Actually my house is in a mess although the twins are not around. Now I know who is the culprit that actually contributes to the mess.....it's my husband daa....Since this week I don't do much cooking (I think the last time I used the stove is two days ago to boil water) so I hardly go to the kitchen. Apparently my husband has stocked up dirty cups on the dining table....gosh! and he got away from washing them by going outstation! I was thinking to clean up the kitchen, wash the dirty cups, put the rubbish outside, fold all recently washed clothes, finish up laundry and arrange the miserable newspapers which he just left on the hall but I just didn't have the drive to it. If I were in that reality tv show 'Perfect Housewives', I have just done a crime! I just didn't care and to ease the guilt feeling, I told myself that it's just this once in a blue moon time I'm lazed around. By the time twins are back, I'm also back to my normal endless routines....huhuhu.

I watched "Amazing Race Asia" which I haven't watched for many years (again it's because of having kids) with peace. Most of the time, my 'watching-tv' session is always 2 in 1 tasks by doing chores in between. It's either folding clothes or feeding the children but most of the time is folding clothes. Or even if I'm not doing any chores, it will always disturbed by having to check twins' activities when they suddenly disappear from my eyes or entertaining them when they are asking for milk/water. Last nite, I even stayed up until 1 am watching 'American Next Top Model' then continued with AFC channel. On normal days, by 10 pm, I am forced by the twins to be on the bed, doing the at least 10 minutes bedtime stories/singing session until they go to sleep and of course with me fall asleep together. So I always miss those tv shows with aired above 10 pm.

Am I complaining about having kids? No, I'm not complaining...actually though without the kids, I can enjoy doing many things, things that you don't get to do or don't have time to do when the kids are around, I feel like two parts of me is missing. And how I miss the noises they are making, the messy toys thrown all over the places , the crying, the whining, the hugs n kisses, the repeated questions of 'apa tu?' I even switched to Disney Playhouse channel on and off and when I came across their favorite tv shows, I also watched it for a while. It's so difficult when we get separated from the children. And with this feeling, I can't imagine the sadness of Nurin Jazlin's parents on losing her. Semoga mereka tabah........

4 Days to 2008...Countdown Begins

Seems like December has been a month of blogging for me....wallaa.....I mean considering the previous months eversince I've started blogging, December is the month with highest no. of posts....I'm so proud of myself.....hehehe. Guess it's just the mood and the free time that I have and the drive as well...I just feel like blogging every day.

And now it's end of the year and I'm counting days to 2008. Not that I'm excited about the new year but beginning of 2 January 2008, my twins are going to 'school'. So I can't wait for the day to come. It's another stage of growing up for them - learning to be on their own with new friends. And since it's new year, and people start talking on their new year's things to achieve or target kind of list, so I should have mine too, though for me everyday is a fresh start.

What do I want for 2008 ?
Career wise:
  • That my Bekok Dam project to be completed by early next year. Or even if it delayed again, my boss is leaving for another job (he's a contract staff who normally will leave at the end of the project if he could secure another job)
  • That my HQ will offer me another site position for project in Melaka when this damn project finish so I don't have to commute from Melaka to KL daily.
  • Or I get a contract job which pays me as much or higher that I earn now and I can quit when I need to quit (ada ke keje camni?)
Family wise:
  • That I can spend more time sitting with the twins, read to them, play with them. I'm thinking to start teaching them to read by next year. But between job n house chores, will I manage that?
  • That I can run my house hold more efficiently, with house free of dust, dirty laundry, nice looking yard, bla...bla..bla...
  • That I can do gardening, I could plant lemon grass, banana tree, turmeric, curry leave which I need in my cooking. I hate it when I have to buy those leaves from market, n I only use probably 1-2 slices, keep it in the fridge n few days later it turns brown and I have to throw it away. Such a waste......
In person:
  • That I will lose weight!!! I don't know how long I've been fussing and fretting on losing weight but still fail to loose any, but I don't care....I'll keep fussing and fretting until I can see some progress.
  • That I will improve my physical look coz I've noticed eversince getting married n have kids, I've lost the passion on looking good. I must change my attitude. I'll take care my skin, I'll reward myself with nice clothes.
  • That I am stress-free. I'm not going to feel down if people around me irritate me.
  • That I could recite Quran everyday....even for only a page.
  • That I will get more friends in Melaka....hoping that I could mix around with my husband's friends' wives.
My husband:
  • That his plan to further study is running smoothly.
  • That he's going to achieve good result for IELTS
  • That he's helping more with house chores....hehehe
See...that's why I don't want to list it down coz I know it will be a long list. But anyway, it always nice to have a list so we can plan accordingly and we could keep focus on our target. Hope it will be another year of achievement.

Another Lousy Movie.....

Malam tadi aku n hubby kluar tgk wayang lagi....hehehe. Actually aku nak tgk citer "Enchanted" sbb ramai dok war2kan movie ni best. So sementara kitorg jadik org bujang ni, why not take the opportunity. But hubby told me when he checked movie time, "Enchanted" xde show malam. Show siang aje. Ala....but then thinking that if we stay at home, we'll miss the twins very much or we will fight for the TV (like previous nite), we have decided to watch any movie available. Ada beberapa movies yg hubby mention.....National Treasures 2 ( x mau...sbb aku x bape suka ngan Nicholas Cage, poyo je dia tu), Alien vs. Predator (hish...boring dah citer2 camni) and I Am Legend. So aku pilih I Am Legend though aku x tau citernye cemana tapi sbb Will Smith kira ok la. Since movie start kul 10.15 pm n kitorg sampai kul 9.00 pm, gi ronda2 Jusco. End up aku beli lagi baju utk twins (shouldn't go that Power Puff Girls boutique....so many nice clothes for kids) . Beli baju utk diri sendiri kedekut, asik2 anak yg dapat....untungnya anak2 aku.

"I Am Legend" turned out to be not-that-nice movie. Coz it's too thrilled and tensed. And hero is dead at the end of the movie...(woi, ingat citer bollywood ke nak happy ending suma?). But even my hubby also shared the same opinion. Berat kepala aku pas tgk citer tu. Dua ari in a row tgk movie, dua2 movie bad selection. Should have watched 'Enchanted" yesterday instead of "The Golden Compass".

Today, hubby is off to KL for two days and that means I'm left alone tonite. Lama dah aku x pernah dok rumah sorang2. N thinking that on left and right, even the front houses are not occupied and small jungle behind my house, makes me feel quite bad. So I'm planning not to go home straight after coming back from office. Aku nak ronda2 dulu kat Jusco sampai rasa penat so that balik rumah aku senang nak tidur. And I'll buy stuffs for baking cheesecake (I've been thinking to bake cheesecake since the twins are not around) so if can't sleep, I'll bake cheesecake!

N hubby menambahkan lagi suspen aku ngan pesanan "Make sure semua pintu n tingkap berkunci, pintu bilik pon kunci. Kalau dgr apa2 jgn gi tgk, buat tak tau aje". Boleh tak? Baru je the previous nite jam dinding kitorg yg dah giler tu tetiba berbunyi2 tgh malam. Aku paksa hubby gi tgk, so dia just take off the bateri. Harus malam ni aku take off bateri jam tu sesiap. Kang dibuatnya berbunyi, x k haru aku nak gi check? Kalu biar lak, memekak pulak..lg la suspen. Abis, kalau dah buang bateri bunyi gak? Hish...stop urself from thinking ridiculously ok........

Yay!...It's Public Holiday Again

Semalam another public holiday (bestnya kalau tiap2 minggu ada public holiday :) ) n since the twins are outstation (hehehe...selalunya mak bapak yg outstation, ni anak2 lak yg outstation) aku n hubby mmg dah plan nak kuar gi tgk wayang. Aku dah lama ngidam nak tgk 'The Golden Compass' coz aku dgr citernya ala2 Lord of the Ring. Sebenarnya rasa gak bersalah keluar bersukaria ngan anak2 tinggal kat kampung. Tapi diorg dihantar balik kampung coz this week xde org yg boleh jaga diorg kat Melaka. Next week baru stat anta diorg ke school.

Kitorg gi Mahkota Parade n dapat tiket 'The Golden Compass' kul 12.20 noon though kami samapi situ dalam kul 12 noon. Teringat aku zaman2 tgk wayang kat KL dulu...kalau x reserve tiket, main gamble beratur nak beli dah dekat2 show nak start, jarang la dapat unless kalau movie tu x popular boleh la. Pulak tu kalau kat KLCC beratur sikit punya panjang. Kat Mahkota Parade ni beratur kejap aje.

'The Golden Compass' though is a fantasy adventure movie but it's not up to my expectation. That's what happen when you keep compare it ngan Lord of the Ring. Nampaknya TGC ni cam ada sequel lagi, coz ending nya tergantung begitu shj. Tu yg aku x suka sbb LOTR though mmg ada sambungan, but each movie tgk mmg puas hati la. Apa la diorg ni, semua sibuk nak buat sequel. At least Narnia is much better. Harap2 the 2nd sequel of Narnia which will come out next year is good. Sbb selalunya (except for LOTR) the sequel turns out to be boring cam Pirates of Caribbean. Hish...aku ni dah bunyi cam movie reviewer dah, padahal tgk movie setahun sekali pon belum tentu :).

Lepas tgk wayang, kitorg ronda2 kat Parkson. Aku ingat nak survey skincare product coz the current skincare product that I've been using doesn't improve my skin condition ( dah pakai Olay aje...what do u expect?). Nak gi kaunter SKII, aku seriau tgk harga2 brg dia. Though aku dgr hasilnya sgt berkesan ( tgk aje la iklan2 dia) n dr testimoni rakan2 yg dah menggunakannya, tapi for me to spend that much of money, oh...rasanya tak sanggup. Surprisingly, my hubby encouraged me to review it first, try2 product dia ke. Aku ckp malas...ingat nak survey cam Clinique or Bioterm. At least Clinique tu aku tau rate harga dia cemana, though consider mahal tapi x la semahal SKII tu.

Baru je jenguk2 kat kaunter Clinique, staff dia dah invite aku duduk. Hish...kalau dah duduk2 ni dah consider serius nak beli. Walaupun sebenarnya it's up to us nak beli ke tak, cemana baik pon dia entertain kita tapi based on my experience sebelum ni, kalau dah go thru consultation tu mesti aku beli punya la. Bila aku ckp aku tgh survey skincare, minah Clinique tu terus analysis kulit aku. Masalahnya ngan kulit aku skrg walaupun dah x berjerawat, tapi warna kulit x sekata, pastu asik berminyak, n then byk tul white and black head. Then pores pon nampak besar. Nak2 dah dok kat site, kengkadang aku berjemur bwh panas, so kulit dah mcm terbakar. Before aku dtg site aku guna Artistry, Amway, which was good for my skin (this one pon cost me a bomb tapi last long). Tapi since it is a direct selling product and aku dah malas nak bayar membership fee utk amway, tambah pulak ejen Amway yg ku kenali ada di KL, so aku malas la nak continue ngan Artistry. Pada firasat aku, apa la salah nya aku guna aje product2 Olay aje. Kan ke Datuk Siti Nurhaliza kata produk Olay bagus utk kulit dia ( yo la tu....ntah betul ke tidak dia pakai Olay). Most importantly, aku nak pakai Olay sbb boleh jimat duit aku. Tapi tu la, bila aku pakai Olay, kulit aku jadi dull n mcm2 hal. Agaknya dah biasa pamperkan kulit ngan benda mahal, so kulit aku pon reject la benda2 kurang mahal...hish..hish.

So thru consultation ngan minah Clinique dia pon explain la bla..bla...produk mana aku kena pakai utk repair balik kulit aku ni. Ada la kot dalam 7-8 brg aku kena guna utk my skin care regime. So aku tanya, semua2 tu harga dia berapa. Dia pon mula tap2 calculator n showed me the figure. Mak datuk....semuanya dalam RM700 lebih.....kuang...kuang...kuang. Gilos aku nak spend byk tu demi kecantikan. Tu kalau betul terbukti berkesan, kalau tak....

Tapi biasa la, org berniaga sure nak promote brg2 dia. So aku hanya tanya quotation utk 3 benda utama, cleanser, toner n moisturizer. Yang itu harganya affordable, even aku tanya hubby cemana, dia kata beli lah. Tapi hubby aku bagus la, dia dok potpet2 ngan minah tu, asik tanya xde ke brg free, end up minah tu bg aku sample brg2 lain yg dia demo kat aku tp aku x beli mcm make-up remover, SPF sunblock, pore minimiser. Even bg miniature perfume and foundation lagik. Tu pon hubby aku pas bayar, complained that we should ask for more. Aku sebenarnya rasa bersalah spent duit byk2 on this stuff. But my hubby said I shouldn't coz I suppose to treat it as a reward to myself (I've just got this year bonus...yey! But I'm planning to save it). He said, if he himself can afford it, he would give it as a present to me. Ye ke? So aku ckp dia kena stick with that promise coz if I'm no longer working, he needs to sponsor me with these Clinique stuffs...padan muka, hahaha.....

Balik tu x sabar2 aku men'try' skincare baru aku. Bila basuh muka, rasa sensasi je muka (ke perasaan aku jek?). Tapi each n every item, especially yg sample2 tu aku guna ciput aje, nak jimat punya pasal. Harap2 boleh last long. N pastikan semuanya di letakkan di ketinggian yg tak tercapai dek anak2 aku. (Nabihah pernah tuangkan toner Artistry aku, waaa.....nasib la dalam suku jek dia tuang).

So inilah citer org pompuan ek...dalam dok kedekut2 nak spend duit utk diri sendiri, at last spend jugak. Mahal kos nak cantik ni...ni baru beli skincare product, belum lagi yg buat facial, buat spa, slimming course suma. Sungguh menggunakan duit yg byk. Tu la keperluan materialistik, it would never enough.

Hi Lya Qaisara.....

Sabtu baru ni on the way balik Tg. Malim, aku sempat melawat kawan baik aku, Linda yg baru melahirkan baby girl on 16/12/07 lepas. Si kembar macam biasa, excited tgk baby. Umi nya pon excited gak, lama dah x pegang baby baru lahir camtu. Comel baby Linda, namanya Lya Qaisara, glamer gitu nama dia....Tapi asik tido aje, so tak tercapai la hasrat aku nak pegang dia. Linda kata nak, angkat je la tp aku x sampai hati la plak nak kacau baby tgh tido.

Nabihah memandang baby dgn khusuknya...nape? kakak nak adik lagi ke?

Nabilah pon x melepaskan peluang bergambar ngan junior baru

Balik tu aku soksek2 ngan hubby, saying that 'cam rindu la nak ada baby kecik'. Dia kata 'Hish, rileks la, kembar pon kecik lagi'.....hehehe. Aku cakap je mcm nak tapi bila mengenangkan zaman2 masa kembar baby dulu, hish...x sedia lg la. Ngan kembung perutnya, ngan jaga malamnya, now dgn lasaknya....aku rasa plan for the next baby would be another years kot. At least sampai hubby abis Master dia dulu. Lagipon kalau ikut experience aku pregnant with twins dulu, the first four months aku mabuk teruk. Sampai masuk2 hospital. Masa tu xpe la, aku xde anak lg, so layan je la blues org mengandung. Kalau la the next pregnancy aku mabuk camtu, harus anak2 aku terabai n kesian lak kat hubby yg tentu2nya nak concentrate on his study.


So now aku enjoy je la tgk baby org dulu. Kata org tgk sekejap2 mmg la best, kalau ngadap sepanjang masa, tambah2 kalau melalak2 aje mau asalnya 'angel' jadik 'incredible hulk'......hehehe.

Dok Melaka, Keje Yong Peng?

Since my long lost friend , Are-T is asking on this, I think I should come out with this new post so that kalau org lain tanya aku leh ckp "Ha, baca blog aku"....hehehehe.

Before January 2007 yg lepas, aku sekeluarga bermastautin di KL. But last year in June, both my hubby n I applied jawatan Jurutera Pengajar di Universiti Teknikal Malaysia, Melaka. Sebenarnya saja try sbb aku keep telling my hubby how I wish we can live outside KL sbb aku rasa KL ni crowded sgt. And how I wish dapat dok umah atas tanah sbb umah yg aku duduk masa tu is an apartment yg sungguh cramp (750 sq.ft) tp sewanya RM700 sebulan! The reason why aku sewa rumah tu in the first place, it was because rumah tu dekat beno ngan opis aku. In fact belakang opis aku jek. And that rate mmg standard rate kat Desa Pandan yg kepadatan penduduknya mmg tinggi ditambah pulak kawasan yg sungguh strategik. So nak tak nak terpaksa la aku sewa gak rumah tu. Dalam masa yg sama kitorg plan nak beli rumah tp asik consider, nak beli rumah atas tanah tp kena travel jauh or beli rumah dekat ngan opis tp rumah apartment yg kecik n tinggi2 and mahal. Selalunya kalau umah atas tanah kat area KL yg mampu dibeli mesti kat area cam Kajang ke, Sg. Buloh ke, Rawang ke. Tapi bila mengenangkan traffic jam di KL yg sgt menyeksa jiwa n raga, or kena bayar tol yg setiap tahun for sure naik, kitorg x jugak buat decision nak beli rumah though kengkawan seangkatan dah ramai settle down beli rumah. Tapi rupanya ada hikmah disebaliknya.

So hubby aku dapat panggilan interview dlm July 2007 and dapat tawaran bekerja secara tetap di UTEM as Jurutera Pengajar dalam bulan August. As for me, xde rezeki utk aku...isk..isk... Mulanya hubby x mau pergi sbb dia kata dia x mau dok sorang2 kat Melaka n dia belum bersedia nak join academic line. Tapi aku rasa ini good opportunity utk masa depan dia n kami sekeluarga. Bila dia x leh buat keputusan, kami consult ramai org utk minta pendapat. Biras aku yg jadik tutor di UKM mencadangkan agar hubby minta tangguhkan reporting duty yg sepatutnya on end of August to January. In the meantime dia fikir la whether nak gi ke tak. Aku pon setuju camtu rather than dia tolak bulat2. Tp hubby still stick to the decision, he didn't want to be weekend husband. Alhamdullilah, UTEM tanpa byk soal meluluskan request hubby aku. Dalam masa beberapa bulan sebelum January, dah bape kali hubby kejap nak pergi kejap tak nak. Jenuh la aku mencari points supaya dia nak pergi. Bukan apa, dia pon bukannnya happy sgt ngan keje dia masa tu. Asik complain endlessly kat aku. N ramai gak ckp, biar dia gi sana, once dia dah settle down kat sana, maybe dia leh tolong dpt kan tempat utk aku di UTEM. Or aku boleh carik keje lain kat Melaka.

Then sedar x sedar December menyusul. Masa tu aku masih x berjaya convince hubby aku suh dia terima keje kat UTEM. Sampai la ada sorang opismate aku ni yg dulunya stay kat site kat Melaka akhirnya dah balik HQ. Dia dgr pasal aku carik keje kat Melaka. So dia cadangkan why dont aku commute dr Melaka-KL sementara aku xde apa2 option keje n my hubby does not want to live separately. Katanya ramai org Melaka yg berulang keje ari2 ke KL. And masa tu dia pon commute sbb wife dia yg keje as guru belum dpt tukar ke KL. Kebetulan ada pulak sorang opismate aku lak yg hubbynya baru jek ditukarkan jaga site kat Melaka. Diorg ni dulu mmg penah dok kat Melaka lama sbb dua2 penah jaga site kat sana n dah beli rumah pon kat sana. Dia ni mmg tekad nak berulang Melaka-KL ari2. Aku pon bila dah ada option cenggitu, terus decide that we should move to Melaka. N with an opismate ada commute Melaka-KL as a living proof, finally my hubby agreed to take the job. Dgn syarat, aku x leh menyesal ngan keputusan yg diambil.

In January, hubby report duty tapi dia gi sorang dulu utk cari rumah. Kami sekeluarga berpindah ke Melaka by end of January 2007. Dan aku mula commute Melaka-KL. Budak2 opis ramai yg mengutuk keputusan aku n opismate lg sorang sbb diorg kata kami menyusahkan diri. Nanti x leh cope la, tensen suma. Tp rupa2 org Melaka x pelik sbb ramai yg commute Melaka-KL ari2. Perkhidmatan bas bermula dr kul 5 pg. Aku amik bas kul 5.30 a.m tp since aku naik dr Ayer Keroh, aku tunggu bas kul 5.50 am. Mmg la payah sikit sbb kena bangun pagi2 tp aku set minda aku, jgn fikir susah. Balik pulak mulanya aku amik tiket kul 7 mlm sbb takut x sempat sampai Puduraya. Tp lepas seminggu aku sempat amik 6.30 ptg. So basically if traffic ok, by 8.15 mlm aku sampai kat Melaka. So x jauh beza ngan org yg commute Klang-KL, Semenyih-KL ( ada ramai opismates aku dok kat Semenyih). Cuma aku x sempat masak la for dinner. Selalunya hubby tapau je makanan. Agak chaostic gak that time masa mula2 nak adjust ngan life cenggitu. Ditambah lak ngan hubby aku yg feeling down coz he didn't like the job n the working environment. Ye la, dia biasa ngan working environment yg hectic, suddenly masuk gomen, terasa suma slow. Dia kata x mencabar....org lelaki ni pelik, keje flexible pon jadik masalah.

As for me, lepas sebulan commute, my boss found out that I'm staying in Melaka n commute everyday so dia offer aku jaga site kat Yong Peng. Yang bagus about company aku ni, permanent engineers x dipaksa utk dihantar di site. Kalau x nak, x yah pergi. But then aku mmg dah lama berminat nak dok kat site coz for the past 5 years aku keje kat situ, aku belum keje kat site full time and I need that for my engineering career. Cuma sebelum ni site2 yg ada x sesuai utk aku pergi sbb semuanya jauh dr KL n aku x sanggup nak berpindah randah semata2 nak dok kat site. Actually masa di offer tu, Yong Peng pon aku x penah sampai. But then the offer came with salary increment, site allowance, car provided n petrol is paid for and it's possible to commute from Melaka to Yong Peng, so I was thinking to myself, why not? So I accepted that offer and started working at site since last April.

Nak kata bahagia dok kat site ni, actually teruk gak. Kalau x kuat semangat, lama dah aku minta balik HQ. Sbbnya bos kat site amat teruk! Kengkadang aku rasa cam keje ngan Hitler disbbkan kekejaman n pemerintahan kuku besi dia. This project supposed to end by September 2007, that's why aku bertahan aje. But unfortunately (or fortunately?) the project is delayed due to several circumstances. So aku pon stuck la kat sini x tau sampai bila. Yang bahagianya kat sini sbb kemudahan internet unlimited access la....hehehe, kalau kat HQ hanya leh check e-mail aje...huhuhu. As long as keje aku siap, sukati aku la nak merempit bape lama pon kat internet.

Aku sebenarnya at one time dah mencuba sedaya upaya mencari keje lain kat Melaka. Tapi di sbbkan field aku yg more to consulting/construction nature, maka susah lah aku nak mendapatkan keje seumpamanya kat Melaka. Kat Melaka, kilang byk la. Apply keje as QA/QC pon x dpt respon. I guess my experience is not relevant to their scope of work....hmmmm.

How long aku nak keje cenggini, aku pon x tau la. Hopefully plan sambung study hubby aku yang dijadualkan tahun depan berjalan lancar so aku leh la resign n ikut dia. Nak berenti keje skrg, rasa x mampu lg sbb mengenangkan hutang2 aku yg bertapuk tu. Selagi aku larat nak keje, aku keje la. Apa aku akan buat pas hubby abis belajar nanti, akan ku fikirkan kemudian. But I dont think I will continue working as engineer anymore. Mungkin aku akan sambung study gak kalau keadaan mengizinkan or mungkin aku equip kan diri aku ngan skill2 memasak ke, baking ke so I could start a home based business. Aku tak tau lagi...tgk la cemana.
