Raya Shopping II

No, we have not done our raya shopping. Last weekend we went to Damansara instead to get sofa set for the living room. Hubby got pretty bored with the day-bed sofa we currently have. Hehehe.. Can't complaint much though. We finally bough a sofa set from Recliners and Sofa. Waiting it to be delivered on Friday. I'll update that later.
I was kind of excited thinking this would be the year I get to choose my kids Raya outfit. For the last 2 years, MIL has been buying his Baju Melayu. I never got the chance to but him either due to problem with size or color. I did get the chance to buy a songkok. Hah! I was looking forward for it. Especially when MIL offered to take me to PKNS Shah Alam. Here was I waiting for her call when all of the sudden she arrived at my place with food for buka puasa and sahur, when she told me, she has already bought both Imran's and Hani's raya outfit. Ggrr..!! Why??!!! I wanted to lash out to Hubby but there's no point on lashing out on him anyway. It's not his fault. But I was curious how did she know what color theme to get. I don't remember telling her that. Hmm.. did Hubby..? Nevermind. Hubby did told me we can still get another outfit if I wanted to. With his work schedule and Jengka trip, I doubt it. Just need to do some fixing on Hani's Baju Kurung sleeves and we're good to go. However we still need to get Imran a songkok and sampin. Hopefully we have the time and energy to do just that.

I want to dedicate the awards in previous post to my loyal all my friends, readers and visitors.... So there!

Awards...

Apparently there's so many blog awards nowadays. And a very big THANK YOU to my friend CT for awarding me with these beautiful awards. I'm kinda occupie right now, because Hani just woke up. I'll update the tags later.....

Why??!!!!

While waiting for Hubby, I was sitting on a bench while trying to entertain Hani being restless in her stroller. Imran was enjoying his chocolate doughtnut sitting next to me. Then came a father and his baby boy joined me on the bench.
After a while, I picked up Hani and made her face the baby. That's when the conversation started.....

Father : Tgk abg tuh.. tanya abg.. ngape abg nangis? (Look at the nice big brother.. why was he crying..?)
Me: *trying very hard to control myself..* Ermm... ni kakak ni.. bukan abg. (She's a girl. Not a boy.)
Father : Ooo okay.. kakak rupanyer.(oo.. she's girl.) *trying hard to control himself from contuning his comment..*
Me : *smile*

Then we continued with the same friendly talk. How old is your baby.. bla.. bla bla...

But one thing kept lingering within my thought. WHY WOULD I DRESS MY BABY IN A GIRLY PINK TOP IF HE'S A BOY!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Raya Shopping

Alhamdulillah.. We have come to the seventh day of fasting. So far so good. No problem with feeding and gastric. Hehehe.. There a 'hikmah' Allah has given for those with gastric problems. It gives us the chance to neutralize all those toxic intake. Hahaha...
As per title I have to plan for Raya preparation. For the kids especially. Then again what do they understand about these things. Imran can barely understand the 'duit' raya' concept. Blame me for that. As for Hani... well... Nothing to elaborate there. She just turned one last month. Give her a break. Hehehe... Due to Hubby's work demand and going back to my parent's, we only have today to do the shopping. I'm not too keen on doing the seriously last minute shopping. I'll end up with ridiculous result based on previous experience. I need to get a new pair of Baju Melayu, songkok and sampin for Imran and a pair of Baju Kurung for Hani. Maybe 2.. if the price is all right. We'll see.
As for me, I'll have Baju Kurungs from previous year. Maybe I should get myself a Baju Kebaya instead. If I can find one in my size. Being plus size with belly does not help in any way possible. And I despise the thought of buying fabric and having it tailored. Why?? The tailoring charges are outrages!! I'd rather get a ready-made Baju Kurung tha spending RM100 for a nice pair of Kebaya. Cheapskate right?? I know, I am. Huhuhu... Maybe I should listen to my sister. Send it to some urban village for tailoring services. They charge much cheaper!
No new Baju Melayu for Hubby too. This year we're spending for the kids. And perhaps splurge a little bit on the house. If only we can find the perfect set of sofa with a seriously cheap price. Wonder if Recliners and Sofa having Raya Sales? If they're having 80% discount. I'm definitely bringing one set home today.
The sun has come out... I need to take a nap before I start my shopping spree. Groceries first, then lunch for Imran and Hani. Then, shopping time! Still deciding where to go.

Oh yes.. one more thing. Hani is walking!! Finally... Now we're waiting for teething signs. Hahaha.. One-year old girl with no teeth. Well, I'm in no rush. She has been biting a lot nowadays. Still bearable and she seems to know when to stop. With her temper, I think I want to it wait a little bit longer. HA HA HA!

New business blog

Am I prepared..

Hubby dropped a bomb yesterday night. He suggested that I tried looking for a job. A good paying job. Well, to be honest, I have been so comfortable being a stay at home mother, it's not exactly encouraging to leave everything and get into the rat race again. But I can understand his frustration when it comes to finance. I have a financial burden. My student loan. Hubby asked me if I can create an income enough to pay off the debt. It's not entirely his frustration. I have been slightly depressed every time I'm reminded of the fact I have no financial freedom. Not by him. By the small things appearing right in front of me at the very wrong moment.
We went out to pasar Ramadhan when we passed by Q-dees kindergarten nearby PIL's place. All of the sudden Hubby said something about sending Imran there. I went along thinking it was just something passing by his mind. Hehhe.. I joked about how MIL can pick him up after school when he mentioned about me going back to work. I was stunned. When I asked about Hani, well, immediate response, MIL. Obviously that would be the first answer. Then I kept quiet.... Speechless. I knew this wll come out. But not this soon.
I have been unemployed for 3 years. This does not include the time I spent at the laundry shop for more than 2 years without generating any income. I'm at lost with current medias. What's hot and what's not. My degree?? Hahaha.. Not exactly the work that I'm interested in. I do have 2 years experience as Global Support Executive in a data centre. My skills for the past 3 years...? Hahahahah..... What a joke. I'm prepared to go through another job interview. Oh wait.. I have until Raya to figure this out. Maybe.. just maybe, I'll be ready by then.
