Do I want this or Do I need this?

Since Hubby left for London, I have been browsing for things I want him to buy for me. Surprisingly, I have not found anything that interest me. Guess I do have all the things I need. Hah!

Throughout my browsing activity, I love to browse baby stuffs. Now that's where the greedy me really plays its part. Right now I kinda have a dilemma of I do need it nor do I want it. Actually, its more to whether my babies need this or not. A twin stroller/buggy. Right now, Imran is 2 and a half and Hani is 4 months. And I have one buggy which I bought in 2006 when we went to London. So, whenever we go out, Imran and Hani would have to take turns on it. But most of the times, Imran would refuse to let Hani use it, coz... it's his buggy! Hihihi...

As of right now, whenever I go out with Imran and Hani, I do not use stroller. I just carry Hani and hold Imran's hand. That's when I have to the bank or small shops. But when I go to shopping malls like Jusco and Tesco, (yes, I go alone with my kids...) I will bring along Hani's car seat and strapped it to the shopping cart and put Imran in the cart. Unfortunately when I do this, I would not be able to enter other tenant shops. No shopping cart allowed.

I asked MIL regarding this, should have known that she would not agree to it. But she has her opinion. Imran will grow out of it. With 2 year gap between them, most probably we won't be needing twin stroller. Not so convincing though. How long do I have to deal with stroller fights? Hani would definitely need one, and how long till Imran actually grow out of using one? 6 months? A year? 2 years?
So the question which I would like ask is, DO I REALLY NEED DOUBLE STROLLER?? My heart says YES!YES!YES!

Colbie Calliat - Bubbly

Heard this song in one of my friend's site. Liked it a lot. I know this song has been playing in the radio, but I rarely got the chance to listen to it lately.

One week and counting...

It has been one week since Hubby left for London. Fortunately for me, I have been too busy with my angels and laundry that I hardly realized that he's actually in a different continent. Hah!

As at now, Imran has yet to show that he misses Abah. My sister told me that he did asked 'Abah ane?' (where's Abah?) and all she could answer was 'Abah keje' (Abah is at work). Lucky for her, Imran was satisfied with the answer. But it has happened in one occasion that Imran called for Abah during his sleep. He called for me first, then he started calling for Abah. Whimpering. I wonder what dream he was having. Me scolding him for not finishing his milk hence asking Abah to save him for my wrath.

As for Hani, she has her own mood swing. My MIL has confirmed that my montel daughter has her own mood swing. As and when she demands it, she does not want to be hold by anyone else but me. When that happens, I can't even go for toilet breaks. The worse part of the day is travelling back from the laundry shop to the house. I'm driving with Hani wailing all throughout the journey. She just kept crying until we reached home and I picked her up from her car seat. And I have gone thru this similar scenario with Imran when I had to drive home at night. The difference between the two, Hani has the possibility of throwing up after crying. Both Satria and Hilux got her sour milk on the seat. No worries, we cleaned it up immediately.

He's leaving.... to UK

He's only leaving for a couple months. Office is sending to London for work. I'm not going with him this time. Reason? Money, money and money. HAHAHAH...
A better reason would be beause of the season. Winter... I for one is definitely not looking forward to taking care my baby and toddler in a freezing weather. Laugh all you want. I have yet to experience the four season countries but lets wait until my babies are old enough.

My.. oh my...

Found this photo in Atuk's computer. It was during 2006 Raya Aidilfitri in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. We were on our way to my father's ex-student's house. I don;t reallt remember what was going on but the moment I saw the way he was comfortably seated in his car seat, I had to take a picture. See the mess in the car, oopps truck?

Wait.. How did the water bottle got there?

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

Baking for dummies II

The result of the cheesecake..... as expected.. presentation... FAILED. hihihi...

But, (with a big grin) food critics from in-laws were very good. they don't really mind the look. But I passed the test. The cake was a success. For a very amateur baker. HAHA! really, I followed the steps, what's the worse that could happened? Know what, I take that back. Anything could have happened.

Last week my cousin passed away. The nite of 2nd Oct. He had been on life support due to lung failure after a tragic accident. He was 26 years old. Still young. Same age as my sister. He was a good man, a good son and a good brother. I don't know really well. Haven't met him for quite some time. There are cousins which I have not met in years. Don't even know that I have new member in the family. My sister just told me another cousin of ours got a a baby on 16th of August. And I didn't even know his wife was pregnant. Fortunately I was informed when he got married. Heh!

Back to my late cousin. He was known to me as a rebel. A school drop-out and 'mat rempit'. Yet, he has my resect because no matter how rebellious he can be, he always come back to his family. Making sure mother and little brother are all right. Sis told me that his little brother did not join them for the funeral. For 2 reasons. One he got his PMR papers and two, he just could not handle the loss. He was close, very close to him. He was the one encouraging him to go to school, helped with his studies and all.

To my aunty, be strong. I know with the loss it would take her quite a time to recover. She was in an out the ICU taking care of her son. To his little brother, be brave and continue his legacy. The good ones. To my cousin, I give you my prayers.. and Al-fatihah....

Baking for dummies

Yeap.. baking for dummies. Not that I've never baked before. It's just my baking era ended almost 2 decades ago. Since lots have changed during these few years, technology and all, I have to go back to the very basic of baking.

My first try was the simplest cupcake recipe available. Still I ruined them. How..? Unable to fill in the cups with appropriate amount. Taste.. OK. Presentation.. FAILED miserably...

Second attempt, white chocolate cheesecake. Got it from magazine. Taste.. OK. Presentation.. SO-SO. Unfortunately... the base, biscuits crumbs mixed with butter.. too loose. It crumbles as I cut the cakes.

Third attempt, not willing to give up. heh! Chocolate cake. Taste.. OK. Presentation.. FAILED miserably again! Hubby said my cake tasted like brownies. Not sure whether a good one or not.

Tonite I'm taking a second try on the cheesecake. Actually hubby asked me to bake another one. For 'buka puasa' with extended family. (Hubby's family always buka puasa together every Saturday during ramadhan.) And I made the worst mistake ever! As I added the eggs into the batter, I did not mixed it as quickly as I should've. Therefore I do not have a smooth batter. MY CAKE IS RUINED BY MY STUPIDITY IN BAKING 101!!!! And I'm going to serve this to people.. aarrgghhh!!! Right now the cake is baking in the oven. I have no idea how the result is going to be. I do not care! Hehe.. Actually I do. I do care.

Sayaaaaang Baby Hani...!!

Picture was taken using phone camera, hence the poor quality.

Toddler vs Baby

And they say sibling rivalry is not an issue. Hah!!! How wrong can they be.

There's no argument that Imran adores his little sister. Though it can be a little bit extreme. But he does adores her. HOWEVER! Any object that was once belonged to him, is his forever! No way his little sister is getting them. It does not matter that he no longer using them or it does not belonged to him literally. Let me explain...

I was packing to go back to my parents house in Jengka, Pahang. We did not get basket or seat for baby cause I thought we can use Imran's car seat since he no longer using them. Luckily mother-in-law insisted that we test for safety first, as it revealed a serious issue. One bawling toddler screaming as he refuse to let Hani use his car seat which was given my hubby's auntie.

Fortunate for me he does not remember the bath tub, clothes, and a couple more things. Toys definitely a no-no. He's not sharing. Hopefully I can break that.

Another incident. I was carrying Hani upstairs to mother-in-law's room to check on Imran. Hani was asleep in arms so I laid her on MIL's bed. Took a blanket to cover her. To my surprise, Imran jumped onto the bed trying to push Hani off the bed while crying out that he wanted to sleep. I was stunned for a second til I realized that he was puling the blanket I used for Hani. Blanket belongs to MIL and she often used it for Imran when he slept there. Just because he used it a few times, his sister does not have the right to use it. Peh!

Right now Hani does not have any clue on what's going on. It'll take time for her to realize what's going on. Just hope she's ready to fight for her rights. HAHA!!!

I know about sibling rivalry cause I went through it with my sister. We got over it, eventually. Took us 20 years though.. HAHAHA!! Wonder how a brother-sister rivalry will work out in the future...

My Angels....

Meet my two angels... These photos were taken when they were just a few hours old.

Name: Imran Haris Mohd Azli
Date of Birth: 16 August 2005
Time of Birth: 12:12 pm

Name: Rizqeen Hani Mohd Azli

Time of Birth: 12:14 pm

2 birthday parties and a birth day

It has been quite sometime since my last entry. Just got time to update the counter. Heh! Let's see if I can recall what has happened for the last few weeks....

12/8/2007 - Imran's early birthday bash
Due to request from relatives and hubby's firm decision on having it, I had to agree to have a small family party for Imran's 2nd birthday. Wondering why I HAD to agree..? Well, having to entertain guest and prepare for the party is not exactly what a full term pregnant lady would want to handle. But hey! How many times does my son going to turn 2 right? It was an excuse for another family gathering anyway. Happy to inform Imran really enjoyed it. He had so much fun playing with his uncles and aunties that he didn't even eat his cake.

14/8/2007 - Final pre-natal check-up
As expected baby still in transverse position, so we decided to go for 20/08/2007 for the birthday. Actually my parents requested that date because it's the only date they will be able to visit. hah!

16/8/2007 - Another birthday celebration for Imran
Just a very small celebration with just me, hubby, in-laws and a few guests who were staying with us for a few nights.

17/8/2007 - The birth day of new baby!
Baby just couldn't wait for next week. Guess with 2 birthday parties, she just can't wait to have hers. Had the pain throughout the night but Imran was not feeling very well, I just ignored it. So, early morning went to the bathroom, got another sign. Woke hubby up (he just got back from night shift), told him we need tog et to the hospital pronto! Fortunately he was not in a grumpy mood which he usually does if he doesn't get enough sleep. But oh! We made a stop at the clinic first to check on Imran's fever. Sent him back to the house, then only we got to Razif. The funny thing that happened when I was waiting, I already told the receptionist that I'm there because I'm ready for labor, but one nurse came up to me and asked whether I have done the urine test. Whatever for do I need to do the test??!!! I think I had to tell like 3 nurses before I got to the doctor. Finally when the doctor checked, baby is now in breech position. HA HA HA! I was immediately prepared for c-section. At 12.14 noon, Rizqeen hani was born. Guess I should have taken the advice of letting my babies have the same birthday date.
Imran Haris was born on 16/8/2005 at 12.12 noon.

25/8/2007 until 2/9/2007 - In Jengka for confinement treatment

That's all I could update for now.. As for the photos, maybe later Dybb. Right now I have to deal with a moody toddler and a quite demanding baby. Imran has not been feeling very well since his birthday. I have to bring him to the clinic in the morning. This is the third visit. Hopefully doctor's theory on his allergic to cow's milk is wrong, cause if he is allergic, I have no idea how to deal with that. Let's wait for the result tomorrow. As for Hani, well.. she's just being the baby that she is...

Birth Date Dilemma II

We have decided on not sharing the birth date. Actually hubby's reason did made sense on why they should not be sharing the date. They're already sharing the month, let them at least got their own date for it. heheh.. sounds lame rite? Some even mention they're already sharing zodiac anyway. I have to admit, that did not cross my mind. heh! Unfortunately, both will have to share one birthday party. August babies...!!

The exact date has not been finalized yet. It depends on the next check-up scheduled next week. Transverse position, whatever date the doctor suggests we'll take. If the baby decided to turn to her right position, hmm... totally forgot to ask since the doctor did not give the option for that one. She actually informed us that it's very unlikely to happen.

Then again I wonder if we have to wait until the baby is ready. If the baby turned. I am already having a terrible mood swing. The worse ever. Almost every night I would bawled my eyes out for no reason. Sometimes I feel like taking a long drive and I do not want to come home. I just want to go on driving. I felt neglected, ignored, and with all the discomfort of pregnancy, physically and emotionally, I do not feel like I'm loved at all. And I want meat!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA........... my in-laws are not exactly as carnivore as I am. I do not remember the last time I had beef or lamb. Ooohh... If only I could get my hands on perfectly done lamb chop or a very nicely done rib-eye steak. I know fish are good, especially in my condition and of course for my son. I wonder if hubby would bring me out to eat tonight? Maybe I should wait. But then again.. wait till when? I'm counting the days for labour. After that it would be at least 2 months with NO MEAT AT ALL!!!! huwaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Birth date dilemma

It has been quite some time since I updated this blog. Like i said, it's not that easy to actually write something for other people to read.

Anyway, went for the usual check-up this morning and kinda expected the news that my precious baby is still in transverse lie position. Since I am already 35 weeks pregnant AND the space is no longer that big anymore for the baby to move about, chances for her to turn to a normal position is quite thin. There goes my chance for normal birth. Due to the fact that I had already went for c-sec for my previous child, the doctor informed me they will not wait until the full term of 40 weeks for labour. Reason given was the risk of the previous scar being overstretch. Don't know if that's the right term but definitely the easiest to explain and understood by me. Hah! So, he told me that on the next check-up, two weeks from now (37th week) if the baby is still in transverse, we would have to pick a date for c-sec. Her suggestion was on the 38th week which falls on 21st of August.

Now, my dilemma is that my mother in-law as well as my father have given me the idea of having the same birthday for my son and the new baby, which falls on 16th of August. I have not discuss this with hubby yet. Kinda too early to decide anything. Still got two more weeks to go!

What do you think?

The Choice

Extract from Og Mandino's The Choice

The key is choice. You have options. You need not spend your life wallowing in failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame, and self-pity. But, hold on! If this is true, then why are so many of us apparently elected to live in the manner? The answer is obvious. Those who live in unhappy failure have never exercised their options for a better life because they have never been aware that they had any choices. So many of us spend our lives searching for happiness. Like children hunting Easter eggs we dash hither and yon hoping to discover some mystical bluebird. Life would be so different, we sigh, if only we were happy. And so, one hurries home to be happy and another flees home to be happy. One is getting married to be happy and another is getting divorced to be happy. One takes expensive cruises to be happy and another labours overtime to be happy. Endless search. Wasted years. Madness. Always the moon is out of reach, the fruit not quite ripe, the wine too dry. Shadows. Tears. Our pillows know the truth.

The craving for 'cencaluk'

God..!! I feel like a tonne in weight. Tummy's not so big but the difficulty of carrying myself to point A to point B is not and easy task anymore. Especially with a quite demanding toddler asking for attention every second. Thank you for grandparents. Hahaha... To those who have this kind of intervention please admit to at least to yourselves that sometimes you're just glad they're there to spoil the grandkids. Heh!

Lately it's kinda easy to lose temper. Some call it pregnancy blues, as for me it's a combination of my own temper which I have been trying so hard to control all these years plus the neglect which I've been feeling right now. I was hoping that during this last few weeks of pregnancy, hubby would be more sensitive to my needs. Unfortunately something came up which turned his attention towards something else. Can't blame him though. I've got myself to blame anyway. Seriously I can't blame my husband for being ignorant. There are some things that husband just don't get it. Like the idea of craving for things.

This week I found out that I crave for 'cencaluk'. Just one pinch once a day. Oh dear! It was not easy for hubby. He can't even stand the smell. Let alone the taste. Of course I told him not to even think of tasting it. He doesn't have to. It started when my staff bought the damn thing at had it for lunch. When I came to inspect the stuff they put on the table. That's it! I opened the bottle and it became an appetizer. Just had to try it. I have never ever tried 'cencaluk' before. Please note I did not go out and buy it yet due to the supply from my staff. But once the supply has run out, I told hubby I have to buy and replace the one I have eaten. He gave me this one look of disapproving my action. He thought once the supply is gone I would be okay and just ignore the craving. Honestly, I thought so too. But I was soooo wrong. After waiting for 2 days, I just can't stand it anymore. So last night, I was moody because hubby wouldn't make a quick stop at Giant for me to get it. I just took off with my car and went to Tesco instead. Looked for it and found a different brand. Brought it home and tried.. blleerrrgghhhh!!! It taste so bad. Not like the one I had before. So, today I drove myself again to Giant to get the one I like. Hahahaha.. Hubby doesn't know about this one yet. I can bet he would be disappointed with my action. Well, just can't help it can I?? Heh!!

Pre-delivery Complication

Just wanna share my pre-delivery complication. Courtesy of Sha' s blog.

I. Where to deliver <-- this one is settled. heh.. sorry Sha!
Fortunately for me, the hospital i went to last time just moved a few blocks away. So, I'm still seeing the same doctors (no specific doctor for me) from now known as Hospital Bersalin Razif. Even though some people might have heard of a case involving Dato Dr Razif last few years, I still believe it could've have happened in any hospital. As for the charges, during Imran's delivery, Dato Dr Razif was the one operating. He did 2 surgeries at one go which should not have been done in the first place. But due to some complication which I do not really understand, it had to be done there and then. With 2 surgeries, medications and 4 nights of ward, if I'm not mistaken the total was around RM4k++. Definitely not more than RM5k. I know, I know some people might think it's expensive. But believe me, I have heard far more ridiculous charges than this.

II. Baby Names
Have shortlisted names. but still yet to make the final decision. We don't have any special name to carry. So, kinda tough to make choices. Heh!

III. Normal? Caesarean? Double stitches???
This particular topic I have to agree the most scary of all. I do not want to go through another surgery. The aftermath is not something you look forward to. I can't compare the after effect of a normal birth, but I believe it's a lot less painful. The doctors told me, there's a good chance for normal delivery. But I had to be warned though, if any complication, and they really meant ANY complication occurred, straight to the operation room I go. So far the problem that I had during last delivery has not been and issue. But right now it's a new issue for this one. Last 2 check-ups revealed baby in 1. breech position(songsang) , 2. tranverse lie(melintang). Baby is still active, so I'm praying that as delivery time approaches, she will get to the right position. Why? Due to the fact my previous was C-section, there's be no other choice but to go for it this time. My mom told me to relax.This is normal. But I can't get rid of the past which I have made my mother go through during labour. The word 'payback time' kept haunting me. HAHAHA!!!

IV. Sleeping Arrangements
Hahahaha.. this is a funny one. My complication for this one is we only have one room for ourselves. Me, hubby, Imran and the new baby. As at now, yes, Imran is sharing bed with us. Later part, most probably there'll be another single bed but it'll be for me and the baby. Hopefully Imran won't be doing his stunt of jumping on top of me like he did the last time we tried to separate him. You still have time Sha. Me? I got like 2 months to go to. We'll just cope with any possibilities as we go.

Another C-section...?

Last check-up got me into some kind of a health freak. Naaahhh.... Just the intake of plain water is more than usual and i tried to go out either shopping or anywhere as long as not 'home or the shop. Reason.. Blood pressure and urine test did not turn out so good. But that's not so interesting to me.
It's the baby's position that gave me a surprise. She's (yes, doc has confirmed it's 90% girl) upside down. Meaning if I were to give birth then, the feet will come out first. Hahaha.. seriously. I was in that exact position when my mom had to deliver. I simply refuse to turn around. Result.. C-section for my mom. Kesian.. Guess it's my turn now. Payback time huh baby girl? Heh!
Today, went for a follow-up check-up. Every fortnight. Baby's position, horizontal. Head on the right side with legs in the left side of my tummy. Huishh.. I swear she was turning around in my tummy but is that it?? Felt like she was having such a great time torturing from inside. Well, doc gave me an explaination which made sense. hehehe... Since tummy is quite big for her, she's having such a great time moving around in it that there's a possibility that she already made a whole turn and will keep doing that until it's time to see the outside world. I was like.. whaa..?? She's going to have fun inside while I'm making funny faces cuz all the movement will definitely make my face cringe...

FYI, my son was born through C-section due to some difficulties to get through the pain.. Haha, truth was I could no longer stand the pain that I begged hubby to sign off the surgery form. Turns out the were fibroids blocking the baby's path. According to hubby (doc showed the fibroids to him.. yep!) they were huge that the surgery of removing the fibroids had to be done there and then. That answers the nurses question of why the baby's head was still quite high in my tummy when it's already suppose to be on a delivery position. Not that made any sense to me at the time.. Hah!

90 days of maternity leave..

I wonder if I can request for 3 months maternity leave? You see, until the day I actually deliver this baby, I would have to go back and forth to the laundry shop and maintain good relationship with workers and ahndle any siatuation or whatsoeva that needs my attention. So I was wondering if it is applicable for me to request the maternity leave? Including the 40 days of confinement of course. The different is that I do not get paid because I have no income from my so-called 'job'.
Please be informed that the person I have to request this leave is my husband or better known as the bigger boss of ExT Laundry. Har Har Har......

It's getting hot in here..

Aaarrrggghhh.... Can't stand this anymore. The same symptom occured during last pregnancy. Going into third trimester was never easy. Especially when it comes to heat. And I am not refering to the weather. It can be raining cats and dogs outside, but I'll be sweating like a pig if the aircond is not turned on.
The best part is, right now both hubby and Imran is not feeling well, therefore the control of aircond temperature goes to hubby (not that it was ever in mine anyway). I'm already thinking of sleeping in another room. Specifically my brother-in-law's room. But I didn't have the guts to do so. Man, that boy's room is like his private fort or something. Not even his mother would even dare to invade. heh!

What a day!

Today, Hubby was not feeling very good. Imran started coughing(last night there was a bit temperature but immediately dealt with). Me..? Well, the usual 30 weeks-pregnant complaint starts to come. Especially after a long ride back from Jengka.

Today, I had to settle MPK's for the house, hand-in ASB application and the one task I completely forgot. Go to Maybank to get my current account done. Oh yeah, not forgetting the shopping for diapers, baby clothes, etc.. etc.. I can't believe how I hate shopping at this time. Of all the not-so-many-task. I got the ASB application sent and shopping. As for the MPK's bill, the kaunter at Giant was closed, and I was not in the mood to drive to the MPK's building. For those who knows Klang area well, I do not enjoy the other part of Klang town so much. Therefore I rarely use that road unless I have to. HAHA! Fortunately for me, I do not go out alone that much, so hubby will always do the driving.

Late afternoon, after a long try to get Imran to sleep, I got the chance to talk to hubby (via YM). He's not feeling well. His knees hurt, his tummy hurts, and he thinks he's down with a fever too. Great! Now I'm going to have to deal with 2 sick babies. Kidding! Imran is not sick, he's just in a phase of craving for attention.

Anyways, hubby got home by 4 sumthing, went straight to bed. then at 6 plus pm I woke him up to go to the clinic. I got myself and Imran ready. Waited for him to get ready ad it was 7 pm when we went out. I told hubby there shouldn;t be too many people around this time, but how wrong was I! There was at least 5 people before us. Syian hubby. He was shivering. Did I mention it was raining?

After the clinic trip hubby said he wanted to have beehun soup. Made another trip to a restaurant at Tesco after a short stop at the shop. Got his bihun soup (All of a sudden he's the one with the craving), went home, had dinner, watched CSI:NY. Got Imran to bed.

I'm sitting in front of the pc, and hubby is fast asleep with Imran. Baby in tummy starting to kick again. Okay, ibu will retire as soon as she finishes with this. Right now!

Exhausting month

This month have been a hectic one. First week, not so much travelling mostly window shopping for the new baby. Still have not decided whether to buy another stroller or not. We want to get a good one but turn out to be so expensive. Had quite a shock when huby told me his collegue spent RM2k for a Quincy stroller for his yet-to-be-born baby. Call me cheap guys, but I will not spend that much money on a stroller.

I am 30 weeks pregnant and still have not started buying baby stuffs. Same situation when I was pregnant with Imran. Waited until last minute to get prepared. Yep, if I'm not mistaken I went shopping around the third trimester. Guess I'm not that excited to buy baby stuffs until the baby is out. Hah! Hubby told he does not want to get any phone calls from me asking to buy nursing bra, breast pads, etc at the office. Hahaha.. Luckily the baby clothes we bought was enough. I tend to over-control my shopping spree. Weird, huh? Who else can admit to that.

One week later.. almost

Haduuuhh.. I'm amazed at how some people can update their blog on a daily basis. I've tried a couple of times and can never commit. This is my last try. And still I had to wait for the right time until to update.
Reason..? Hubby asked me to control Imran's computer addiction. Yes. My soon-to-be-2 year old son is addicted to the net. Specifically the boowa and kwala(http://www.boowakwala.com/) website. He will say 'kwala' and that's it. Switch on the pc and start waiting for the page to load. Tried other sites, doesn't work.

It was so bad that one day hubby experienced the tantrum which scared the heck out of his nenek. He just went crazy, throwing his arms as we picked him up to calm him down. Screaming and wailing on top of his lungs. Once we let go, he'll go running towards the pc and ask us to switch it on (cuz we kinda switched off the main plug).
Hubby said, that's it.. control the computer usage. The best part is when he said he doesn't want his son to be like his brother. My brother-in-law is definitely addicted to his computer. Even the mother admit to that.

study loan.. who doesn't have one?

Got an sms from my staff, asking me to give her a call. Huh? Well, what the heck. I called. Turned out she wanted to borrow some money from me to pay off her MARA study loan. GULP??!!! I can't even pay my own study loan.. how the heck am I suppose to help pay hers? I asked her to elaborate. With the sobbings from trying so hard not to cry, the story goes like this.
She took a course some time ago with MARA loan. After 'graduating' (I assume), she kinda not taking it so seriously, so now when the 'surat merah' (her words) comes, the family went beserk and started scolding her but not offering any help or advice. Can't blame them though. Don't think the family have ever been exposed to this kind of issue. The total of the loan, around RM4k++. Heck! As long as they have not sent the legal letters sueing you, I believe we can still request for whatchamacallit.. staggard payment. I think that's what it's called. So, I asked her to bring the letter/letters tomorrow and discuss what should be done.
Geez, to think i can actually help people like this, makes me feel so.... put in your own words lah.. har har...

People are just like flowers....

Hubby can't believe I kept this comic strip for almost a year. Read it when I was in UK last year. See how a simple statement could be so true. Ha ha ha...

Wanna read more of Nemi comic strip, go to www.metro.co.uk/nemi.
