Tak Sabar...

In less than 24 hours, my brother-in-law and his wife will be arriving in Frankfurt. Weeeheeeee!!! Tak sabar nak tunggu kedatangan diorg.... Sabtu nanti, anak buah cik HB, Ngoh dr Ireland pon akan sampai. Tak sabar jugak nak pi jln2....

Tapi cuaca cam x best aje minggu ni. Suhu dropped sampai negatif balik. Terpaksa la pakai balik berlapis2. Kesian kat diorg nanti nak bawa pi jln time sejuk2. Harap2 cuaca next week cantik, no more snowing, no more freezing cold weather but with bright sun and blue sky.

On the trip matters, I think I'm done with all the arrangements. Accommodations dah booked, car booked, car park pon, places to visit pon dah listed down lengkap ngan details, check-list utk brg2 nak dibawa pon dah, tapi kena go thru once again nak tgk kalau ada apa2 perlu ditambah or dikaji semula. Semoga semuanya berjalan lancar.

Ok, now kena bergerak utk aktiviti mengemas rumah. Byk sungguh la habuk walaupun mcm baru je dusting. Twins pon suka sgt buat sepah merata2 rumah. Haih...

Birthday Cik Dee

Khamis lepas, kak liza buat makan2 sempena birthday cik dee. Sbb tau pon dah last minute, sy x sempat nak cari hadiah, cuma buatkan kek harijadi yg segera. Kalau ikutkan cik dee, rasanya dia x kuasa nk tiup2 lilin tapi sbb sikembar mmg excited about birthdays dan saja nak provide ´wow´factor to the girls, kitorg letak lilin byk2!Lilin ari tu berjumlah 15 btg...cik dee kata ok la tu...dia mmg baru 15 thn...hahahaha

Nasib baik la Liya kecik lagi, kalu x Liya pon mesti nak sibuk2 tiupo lilin jugak!

Tiramisu and kek segera

Cik dee dpt hadiah dr awie

Bila kak liza masak, maka diet sy pon hancuss sekali...haih

Lepas makan, kita bawa Liya jln2 dlm hutan Raunheim tapi dia layan tido daa....

Siapa yg salah?

Her name was so beautiful - SYAFIA HUMAIRAH

Unfortunately, her life was not as beautiful as her name. At 3 years old, she died because someone so heartless had murdered her so brutally. And perhaps long before her death, she had suffered more than we can imagine, living with some hot-tempered guy who is not even related to her, except that he was her mother´s boyfriend.

It is such a disturbing news to me. For those who doesn´t know what I´m writing about, please read it HERE. Just last year, there was a kid - a girl about Syafia´s age if I´m not mistaken also being abused to death by her mother´s Nigerian boyfriend.

And this time it happened again.

The mother said don´t blame her for the daughter´s death. Don´t judge her for all the wrong things happened in her life - the convicted husband, the bullying boyfriend, the child out of wedlock....

Then blame whom?

The husband for making crime and ended up lock in the jail?

Her family for not taking care of her and her kids when the husband is locked in the jail that she had to turn to some guy looking for love and ´protection´?

The society for not giving moral support and financial aid for some unlucky wife/mother?

The boyfriend?

I don´t know...i know we shouldn´t judge people...but I can´t help myself wondering....how could this happen?

How could she not know or notice that the boyfriend is a threat to her kids? Don´t just tell that the boyfriend was nice all along then on that particular day he just snapped and beat a child to death? Or was she so ´blind´that she couldn´t see it?

There´s something not right here....

That is one thing...

What about living together without being married? I mean, didn´t her family know what was going on or they just don´t bother to check out?

*sigh*

Syafia´s death is the end of her suffering. But to me her death shows the instability of our Malay-Muslim society today.

How many more news like this we would hear?

Orang kata `Jangan jaga tepi kain orang´.....tapi mungkin juga kalau kita jaga tepi kain org (dgn niat baik ok!), sekurang2nya kita boleh menyelamatkan keadaan sebelum terlambat?

Hi En. Mesin Jahit! Selamat Berkenalan!!!

Dalam byk2 skill rumahtangga, sy rasa bab menjahit la sy fail dgn cemerlang. Serius, cemana nak guna mesin jahit pon sy tak tau ye! Bukannya mak sy xde mesin jahit, tapi sy x penah amik kisah pon nak tau pasal jahit menjahit ni kecuali masa Form 1 sbb masa tu kelas Kemahiran Hidup kan ada bahagian rumahtangga yg kita kena belajar menjahit sikit. Ingat lagi kena buat apron...tp x ingat secara details cemana apron yg sy buat tu. Ntah jadi ke tak....

Apa2 yg koyak ke, butang tercabut ke selalu sy mintak mak je tolong jahitkan. Mak pulak x penah la paksa sy belajar menjahit. Tapi mak pon tau menjahit ala kadar aje...tu sbb kot. Baju2 kurung masih lagi tempah kat org or kat kedai.

Masa mula2 kawen, penah butang baju cik HB tercabut, konon nak jadi isteri mithali nih...cuba la tolong jahit. Sudahnya cik HB buat sendiri sbb x sanggup dia nengok...HODOH ye! Sori bang, bini u ni mmg x tau menjahit. Ye, malu mmg malu tp bab menjahit ni...ya ampun!!! Sy mmg GAGAL!

Sejak dtg sini dan berkenalan ngan kak liza, selalu la sy di exposed ngan citer jahit menjahit. Kak Liza ni kan pada sy bagaikan Martha Stewart....pandai masak, pandai jahit, berkebun pon ye (rumah dia kat mesia la, kat sini xde tanah tp dia byk pokok2 dlm rumah ye!), bertukang pon boleh ye!

Selalu la dia pujuk2 sy belajar menjahit, sampai nak pinjam2kan mesin jahit dia. Tapi sy selalu cam "ala...nanti la".

Sampai la baru2 ni baju Nabilah ada terkoyak sikit. X tau la dia langgar tapi terkoyak sikit kat bahagian tgh. Sayangnya sbb koyaknya kecik aje. So xkan nak buang kan....sy terpikir nak cari yg sticker yg kita boleh tampal ngan iron pastu jahit tangan. Tapi sy x tau mana nak cari sticker tu. So sy tanya kak liza. And dia bawa sy ke tempat boleh beli sticker tu.

Pastu sy pi lepak kat rumah kak liza nak jahit sticker tu. Tu yg boleh bermula journey sy ngan mesin jahit. Actually sticker tu x yah guna mesin jahit, kena jahit tgn ja...tapi kak liza dok punggah2 seluar2 lama nak bg kat sy, pastu bila try kaki seluarnya adalah labuh so kitorg buat operasi memotong kaki seluar dan jahit semula.

Sticker kat baju Nabilah

Kelakar....masa tu baru sy realized i was so pathetic....cemana nak start guna mesin jahit pon x tau! Nasib baik kak liza bukan mak mertua sy tau....

Rupanya bila dah start tau guna mesin jahit, sy jadi excited pulak. Kak liza lak so determined nak suh sy belajar menjahit, siap hantar mesin jahit dia kerumah sy. Practice katanya. Nanti dia nak ajar jahit baju budak2. Wahhhh......

Tapi buat masa ni yg sy cuma buat try jahitan2 yg ada kat mesin jahit tu. Jahit atas kain bodoh je la. Sbb selagi x tau jahit lurus, kirim salam la ye nak jahit baju! Tu belom citer bab potong kain!

Oh ye, nak citer....cik HB reti tau guna mesin jahit. Siap masa memula kak liza hantar mesin jahit tu, kitorg berebut nak guna....hahahaha

Sy determine nak belajar menjahit ngan gigih nih! Tapi takut kang hangat2 taik ayam aje....kan?

Jalan2 Hari Sabtu

Saturday noon, sedang sy sibuk memasak, Liza call ajak keluar jalan2 ke Frankfurt. Cuaca hari tu mmg cantik, langit biru, matahari menyinar2 dan suhu pon dlm 5C gitu. Susah nak dpt cuaca cantik mcm ni dlm waktu winter. And kalau suhu dah above 0C, kitorg dah cukup happy dah! Rasa mcm summer dah. Sebabnya dah went thru kesejukan sampai -18C gitu...hahaha.

Mula2 sombong, tak mau pi sbb kengkonon nak buat operasi Bakso dan mengemas rumah secara total. Lagipon sbb nak pi Frankfurt, wa tak teruja la nak ikut (eceh! x heran ngan Frankfurt dah konon!). Tapi betul....sy dah bosan gak la ke Frankfurt sbb mcm dah boleh naik hafal kedai2 kat Hauptwache tu, pastu lak hari Sabtu Hauptwache sure sesak mcm ada pesta. Nak jalan pon dok langgar2 org or kena langgar!

Then Kak Liza lak tepon, katanya kalau x mau Frankfurt maybe kita boleh pi Wiesbaden or Mainz. Hehehe...dgr Wiesbaden jer terus ubah fikiran. Yg untungnya kami ni dok kat tgh2 antara bandar2 besar. Semua boleh pi ngan satu train jer. Frankfurt terletak 25 minit by train, Mainz 15 minit and Wiesbaden 30 minit. So ada la options sikit. Tapi dekat2 Mainz pon, ni baru kali ke-3 ke sana ye...

After several phone calls antara sy, Kak Liza n Liza, akhirnya kami decide ke Mainz aje. However, my cik HB itu x ikut ler...dia sedang sibuk study utk exam. Elok2 je keluar rumah sejam lepas tu, hari yg cantik bertukar mendung dan hujan renyai2 tp keluar jugak la. Nasib baik sampai Mainz, hujan dah berenti. Seronok dok menjamu mata melihat barang2...maklum la nak shopping xde budget. Masuk Cook Mall dok belek Kitchen Aid la, periuk Fissler la...berangan2...hehehe.

Ini shopping trip yg pertama utk si kecil Liya. Tapi Liya good girl, dia x meragam pon. Boleh bawa gi shopping selalu anak dara ni...kan Mama Liya? hehehe...

Pas jalan2 pi tambah kalori ngan cheeseburger & ayam panggang. Cheeseburger dia besar ok! I dah x rindu dah ngan burger McDonald...

Bersungguh2 budak berdua ni makan!

Nasib baik keluar gak hari Sabtu. The next day snow turun lagi...huhuhu

Oh! Encik Lenovo.....

Encik Lenovo sudah membuat pasal! Umur x sampai lagi setahun, dah dpt penyakit! Haih....

Tapi salah tuan punya Lenovo gak, download mcm2, guna like non-stop, and four pair of hands punya keje (termasuk sikembar!) So mana x sewel!

Yang tensionnya, byk sungguh harta karun berguna dalam Lenovo tu. Mine especially. Padan muka x penah buat back up. Yg paling penting buat masa ni planning holiday. Dah siap details segala, ni nak kena start all over again. Huwaaaa....

So skrg back to the days I berebut laptop balik ngan cik HB. Dan of course la priority kena bg kat cik HB sbb dia dah nak exam and notes dia byk kat dlm laptop Compact ni (Lenovo konon2 officially mine).

That is why la skrg Facebook pon like sehari sekali je check, chatting mmg xde dalam daily list, blog je la leh update sbb x makan masa.

Lenovo tu lak cuma akan dibaiki (sbb nak kena reformat tapi nak kena beli DVD drive dulu sbb ianya adalah Notebook - xde DVD drive ok) selepas cik HB settle ngan exam. Ye la, dia sibuk2 nak study, xkan kita nak merengek2 suh repair notebook kita kan?

The good side is, xde dah la den dok melopong depan laptop lagi sampai kadang2 keje2 rumah terbelangkai, anak2 dan laki terabai....hahahah

Tapi the bad side is, ala....i have to start all over again ngan holiday planning tu....aritu buat ngan semangat yg membara...makan masa berhari2 la jugak. Ni tgh attempt nak memulakan planning la ni. Kena curi2 masa tapi xde mood.

Camno labu?
