Alhamdulillah...Balqis has turned one year old last week, sorry I haven't got time to write sooner here. We had celebrated her birthday twice ( lucky girl ) once when we were at Melaka and the second one here at our own house at Manjung. Will upload the pictures on my fotopages ( as soon as after I could find the digital camera. Must have misplaced it somewhere in the house ).


But I wanna tell you about the special present she got just 2 days after she turned one- she got chicken pox! Poor my baby.. but I must say she's one tough baby ( anak askar lah katakan =p ) because despite all the uncomfortable feeling, the itchiness, the high fever, she still behaved like herself- active, playing like there's nothing wrong happened to her, merengek pun sket2 aje. Alhamdulillah.... taklah susah sangat nak menjaganya. She was supposed to have her one year immunisation last Monday but since she got the chicken pox, the doctor just gave her medicine and 2 weeks 'off' before she has to come back and had the injection done. Even the doctor said she's very cheerful for one patient who has chicken pox :) that's my girl!


Here's my girl Balqis with her birthday present from Abah. Happy birthday sayang..

As you can see at the ticker up there, Balqis is turning one in 8 days. We planned to celebrate her 1st birthday with our family at Melaka and since we are going home this weekend, we'll have it this week. I'll put some of the pictures here, promise :)
This morning a man from Majlis Perbandaran Manjung called out from my gate asking how'd I like the tree infront of my house to be- trim it a little or just cut it out, flat. It's getting higher and bushy and it's getting in the way of the TNB's lamp post & the wires, it's very dangerous if the tree fall and tripped on the wires. Anyway, since my neighbour's door was closed that's why they asked me and I said just cut it all, like me & my husband always talked about. After they did cut the tree, I felt a little bit guilty and selfish because I really should make that decision with them first and now the tree is gone, it's really gonna get hot in the evening without the tree as the shield before this. Well, what's done is done, nothing much I can do about it except apologize later this evening.
But am I glad to see the tree gone now! I don't have to sweep the dry leaves that fell off everyday at my lawn. We'll plant other tree after this, maybe :)

last night my new next door neighbour held a small feast as a homecoming so they invited me and my husband but en lanun was on duty yesterday so he couldn't make it. I went with Balqis ( of coz ) and just in time before they performed solat hajat. After that we cited Yassin and tahlil. Alhamdulillah, I prayed for their safety & happiness in their new home.

Chatted with my old school mate Iera and she told me one big news- she's getting married next month!! Alhamdulillah...It's about time you do that, buddy :) So insya Allah I'll be there maybe with my husband or with Muni ( she's my old mate & a navy too ) if my husband can't make it. I'll be there buddy, you cam count on me :) won't miss the opportunity to see you on the dias :)

We have 2 lampans fish and they grew bigger and bigger, so the small aquarium we bought when we first start this hobby couldn't hold them any longer, so my husband decided it's time we get a new and bigger tank for them. And big it is- about the length of my hand from one end to the other end. And we bought 2 new fishes namely tegas. It's a bit like kelah, maybe the pattern on their body is a bit different. The 2 new fishes joined the old school- 2 lampan, carp, 2 sepat emas, 1 dragon fish, 2 sebarau and 2 new fish we bought last 2 weeks that has orange & black stripe on their body with mouth like a rat. No, really they looked like rat's mouth. I'll try to upload their pic here, later.

visited my old website and saw some of the jobs I designed when I worked before. Some of them are my own projects which I was being conned ( the company never paid me ) but it never bored me to sit infront of the computer and design yet another one. It makes me powerful, playing with the tools and after spending hours and hours on the canvas, seeing the end result is always cheer me up. NNot that I'll be satisfied for the first time, even though my boss said it's very good I'll always find some lame excuse to do more and more. So I've been thinking to moved some of them to my fotopages so that I can share them with you. check it out soon, ok?

Cooked nasi lemak for lunch today,special request from En lanun. Chatted with my old friend Ben from incubator where I used to worked- he's engaged now ( don't know when ) and planned to have the wedding this year. So I suggested 070707 and he said his fiancee also wanted that date and asked RM7777 as the dowry :) goodluck finding that money!! ha ha... he must be freaked put if he read this.
Still no reply from that job I applied yesterday. Call me stupid or laugh at me, but I've already imagined how my life is going to changed rapidly if I get the job- how I have to wake up at 5 am to cooked, getting ready for worked, send my baby to the nanny, En lanun dropped me off at the jetty ( it's not like I can't drive myself but parking there is quite costly so it's better that way ) and boarded the boat to get to my workplace ( I think it's a hotel because they asked if we have any experience in hotel management. I don't, but we all have been to hotels before so I guess I can tell a bit about it ). After that I took the boat again back to Lumut, En lanun has already waiting to pick me up, stopped by the nanny's house to pick Balqis and back to our home.. home sweet home! Of course I have cooked so what's left is get refreshed and reheat the food, we are ready for dinner!
Ok, too simple & easy you think? I know it's not as simple as it sounds but at least that's what I have in mind. I may not have enough time for myself, or for Balqis and my husband but I really want to work, it's a risk I'm willing to take. Many women has done this so why it has to be different for me? If they can do it, so am I. I am challenging my self. Bring it on, baby!

What a boring day. Nothing interesting to watch on Astro today. En Lanun is on duty today so he's won't be at home until tomorrow morning, then he has one sortie at 11 am after that so he'll coming back maybe at 2 pm. arrghhh... bosan ya amat. Keep doing the same thing over & over again. Saw 1 job ad as human resource @ Pulau pangkor so I applied. I've always wanted to go there but the time is never right- I'm pregnant before, then the baby is still small. She's almost 11 months now, guess I can get my plan back on track. I have to do something for my self, or else I'll end up burnt myself uselessly. Mak already said if I wanted to go for an interview just told her, she'll come over & help me with Balqis. I know the right place for a wife is right at home with her husband & children but this is just an exceptional. With our current finance situation, I couldn't afford just staying at home. Not now.

Esok CNY. En lanun had a long weekend until Tuesday so we decided to get home for the holidays. Plus he had a reunion for his old school- Teknik Bukit Piatu, Melaka.

Finally I have the courage to unlist my name from jobstreet.com's newsletter. Because it just keep sending me jobs ad that not only suitable for me, it depressed me more to see that there are so many jobs out there and I can only look at them, read them and then delete them. What's the use? It clustered my inbox and I don't see any reason why I should keep receiving them so I might as well get my email ad out of their system. For good. Don't know why I took this long to figure it out, to do this. If there is really a job for me, I should be working now, isn't it? Oh I forgot, I already have a fulltime job- a housewife. Oh, that's why. maybe all other employee knew that and they all decided not give me any other opportunities. Great.
