Yes folks, i'm back to normal. However, i will take heed of Ms Anonymous comment to my previous post, to not makan banyak...yes, especially when i have spring cleaned my wardrobe and have given away most of my XXL size baju....kononnya this will force me into staying slim and try to fit into whatever smaller size baju that i bought in my moment of madness yg tak sedar diri.
I feel like a zombie today. Little D woke up a few minutes before 6am this morning and saw me changing Baby X nappy and decided to get up and humour baby X. Of course i cannot go back to sleep because between little D and baby X, they're like Jack and the Beanstalk Giant and Thumbelina, kalau timpa adik mau dipenyekknya.
Anyway, little D is on full day nursery since two days ago. I think she's much happier and 'safer' there. The latter because the temporary maid we have now, is completely psychotic metaphorically speaking. She's about 40 and look much older. Hari2 makan maggi for breakfast and lunch. My neighbour told me that pukul 4-4.30 petang dah dia bawak little D main kat playground depan rumah..and they will be back just before 7pm. Most of the times she doesn't bring along little D's water bottle with them. Before i cuti ni, i selalu heran kenapa bila i balik kerja little D would be terbongkang depan tv, i thought her few hours at the nursery tires her out..rupa2nya dek kerana diseret berjalan oleh the psycho maid. When i was in the hospital and she was left with my mum at home, she had the nerve to talk back and shout at my mum.
Pas tu macam takde apa2 dia boleh nak bersembang ngan org tua tu and nak bertepuk tampar. Ceh!
Then when my mum left, she woke me from my afternoon nap several times to ask trivial questions and once at 3.30pm, she asked if she could take little D out for a walk. Macam ada agenda lain kan??? I said gile ke tengah panas terik and of course masih sunyi and takde org kat playground..i said nak biar budak tu kena colek?? She makes the bed without tegangkan the cadar and piles up the bantal like they do at pusat perpindahan banjir je. I wondered why i don't see Monty from subuh and tengok2 makcik tu keluarkan dia as early as 7 in the morning. When i asked her to vacuum the carpet more thoroughly because masih ada bulu kucing, she answered back 'sebab kucingnya tinggal di rumah!'. When my mum asked her how to bega2 volume control tv, she answered back 'itu bukan urusan saya!' padahal, kalau i balik rumah tu channel astro tak pernah lepas dari Aruna! And she's downstairs watching the tv as i type this.
Hari2 masak kicap..sayur kicap, ayam kicap, ikan kicap and yesterday i told her..dah!!!! No more kicap!
Ÿesterday she came to my room and suruh i pergi cari daun sireh, minum jus utk ''mengetatkan'' kerana org laki akan suka...helo!! I am definitely not having this type of conversation with my maid, and a psycho one at that. Once she asked me whether our neighbour from the house opposite ada isteri ke tak (he's about 70 and dah bercucu pun, ind you! Bukan setakat satu isteri, dua!!)...and i said, 'hish, jaga urusan kamu saja..' She offered to urut me and i definitely would not want to get that intimate with this maid! The agent said that we would be getting our new maid next week, we shall see.
In the meantime, i will as much as possible stay out of the way of this maid and not antagonise her..surely we don't want this headline in the newspaper 'seorang wanita dalam pantang ditikam mati oleh pembantu rumah asingnya...'

Updates
Thank you to all kind wishes, termasuk jugak le yg sempat mengumpat tu kan….i had my bundle of joy two Saturdays ago. Arrived at the hospital around 8am and was cut up by 10am. Bunyi simple je but mak tuan, sakit betul kali ni. The pain control was not as good as the last time…nak dijadikan cerita I was allergic to the painkiller that was first prescribed to me, by 4pm I terasa adehhh! Apasal mata gatal and bengkak semacam ni???Sib baik I discovered it quickly, kalau tak I would have had a beestung face while entertaining visitors. I wanted to have a spinal epidural, so at least I get to be conscious while the procedure was done tapi ghope2nya I ni ada deviation from the norm. The needle was in but after 10mins I could still wriggle my toes and I seriau mengenangkan the dr was going to cut me open hidup2. Bila tak jalan jugak I pun bagitau la yg previous delivery pun my epidural only worked on one side of the body and terus the anaesthetist cakap , oh, ni tak boleh jadi ni, terus tido kan i.( I have worked with the anaes before, I wanted to ask about her dogs while she was gassing me pas tu I terfikir, hello…I only have a few minutes more of consciousness baik I mengucap kan…buatnya I tak jaga lagi dah pas ni…lagi2 sebelum masuk OT tu sempat bergossip lagi dgn Bella..jahat you Bella, you induced me to it!! Btw, memang the person I saw was that ‘diva’, she had her signature Coach handbag with her you!..kerrrrlass!)
Baby X is a godsent. She’s a no fuss baby..susu, tidur, susu, tidur…I hope it stays on like this. The only thing she will keriau about is bila time mandi..hmm..suka tidur and malas mandi, ikut sapa ke agaknya tu??
She still hasn’t got a name…MG and I have not thought of any yet..ingatkan deadline this Friday, but MG said just now, dlm sebulan pun boleh still daftar nama tapi kena bayar denda je…lagi la lambat nak bagi nama kan??? The baby still hasn’t a name, I discovered banyak benda I terlepas pandang wrt baby preparations, kebanyakan hand me down from kakaknya je…and here we wonder why 2nd child bila besar selalu ada middle child syndrome kan??? Dah la I was soo busy masa pregnant kan dia, selalu tak sempat nak berinteraksi dgn dia, surah mariam ke, luqman ke all out of the window, setakat pasang cassette dlm keta je…
Regarding pantang….well, I had my mum with me for a week but now she’s gone back. Other than tak makan benda2 angin dan sejuk (keluar dari fridge that is) yg lain semua I tibai. At least masa beranak first time dulu I had ikan haruan la, gamat la, this and that..kali ni, I tak rasa ‘special’langsung..rasa cam tengah mc biasa2 je! Since day 3, keluar je hospital I was already up and about…kalau ada la org2 tua yg ikut pantang betul2 memang akan kata esok2 I akan kembang segala..apa yg kembang tak tau la! Org kata jangan makan jamu lagi takut anak jaundice, since perut kena belah tak yah pakai bengkung…so? The only ritual yg I ikut is that pagi2 mandi dgn air rebus daun2 yg buat I bau cam agar2 sirap…
Little D is excited about the new baby I think..bangun pagi je pergi cari mana baby. Monty as I predicted is having some tough time…the day I got back, dgn beady eyesnya pleaded nak naik atas katil but I said no…tido je la kat carpet kan, kalau nak enjoy aircond tu. But now he’s taken to sleeping on the balcony balik. Pas tu pagi2 lagi dah keluar merempit..hmmm..sian si tembam belang sekor tu.
Anyway, that’s about it..will write again about the bibik I have now..she’s straight from the loony house I kid you not.

Sayonara..
Sayonara people...i'm dashing off in 5 minutes to pick up my mum from my desperate hoswipe's house. I will officially be on maternity leave from tomorrow.
I managed to finish off all 8 tasks, tapi yg set house chores cannot remember sapa punya telinga dah buat, sapa yg sebelah lagi belum tapi yg sahnya, sekor pun belum mandi lagi! (i am a little bit paranoid about having visitors around to the house and anak2 bulu i rambut kusut masai).
So to all, mintak maap banyak2 kalau ada terumpat dan terkecik (kecik apa tak tau)..especially kat sorang ni jangan nak umpat2 i kalau i tak bersiaran ye...dia tu pi joli sakan sekodeng mamat2 dan minah2 Italia boleh! Sampai tak bersiaran dan bersawang laman blog tu.
Taraa then!

Multi-tasking part deux
I have done no. 4, 6, 7 & 8 today (8 kiranya tak jadi langsung lah) ! Not bad...
Btw, didn't need a filling....i have gum recession hence teeth become extra sensitive. I think it's psychogenic also...(dah tau i don't need a filling meaning no jab, tiba2 hilang je sakit. Psycho betul!)
House chores pulak:
1. Spray ubat kutu kat Monty
2. Proceed with another 10 pumps of ubat kutu on Ugi, semalam dia lari halfway (princess boyot je yg complete).
3. Cuci telinga Monty and use ear mite drops.
4. Cuci telinga Melly as above.
5. Mandikan Monty and Ugi yang dah lama tak jumpa air (tapi 2 ekor ni ada hati nak baring2 atas katil beraircond tiap2 malam)
Aiyo, sempat ke?
At least dapat buat no. 1 to 4 pun dah kira OK.

Multi-tasking
Deadlines before 17 May:
1. Get programme files sorted out for internal auditors visit day after tomorrow.
2. Get presentation ready for colleague for the conference in July.
3. Handover conf. bits and bobs to Si Baung and hope he understands what’s going on and tak menghantui hidup aku masa maternity leave nanti.
4. Let Si Baung have material to prepare for Friday all weekend meetings (i’m glad i’d be in hospital by then)
5. 3 official letters to write.
6. Have a filling.
7. Habiskan cerita org minyak.
8. Sempat ke nak jumpa kawan lama for lunch????
Damn i need to prioritise (btw, i’m waiting to be seen by my gynae and laptop battery running low).
Well, no. 7 it is then!
During that time, i think it was around June or July (9 years ago), i was in a dilemma. I had already made plans to do my masters...but then life got oh-so-interesting. Scholarship had been secured, a place in this particular institute had been offered. Nak dijadikan cerita pulak, i secured the place even though i applied at the very last minute, when i went there and became a part time staff after my Masters, i baru tau for every place, waiting listnya dekat 20 org. Dah tu masa tu my cable was cukup besar, the expat staff we had then was very pally with the programme director...so...could i have thrown cautions to the wind and follow my heart?..and i thought i probably deserved it pun...dah belajar main punya lama nak dapat 1st degree, the first 2 years in the UK masa A-Levels kena dok ngan minah saleh psycho, pas tu lepas degree kerja kat sana atas pujukan si siamang yg konon2nya nak sambung buat masters, i terkandas kat sana and dia balik sini berfoya2 dgn segala Minah, Meenachi and Maniam (oops, bi ke?). Berkaraoke ngan GRO atas nama entertain clients..(ish emo tak tentu pasal pulak dgn si siamang..focus woman!).
Anyway, di antara sembang2 kosong or ayat i ngan OM (org minyak) was the fact that i was leaving in Sept no matter what (and dia konon2nya sokong sangat wanita yg berkerjaya ni) and dia pulak aimed to get married in 2000. Any rabun person boleh nampak sangat yg the ‘relationship’ was doomed from the start.
Well sambungan dari ‘sayang, abang nak balik..’ hati Cik Kiah masa tu berdebak debuk in anticipation. Can’t remember how long he said he was coming back for, mungkin one week kut. Prior to his return, the emails were as normal, it didn’t feel as if something was amiss. He came back, he called up to say hi and also to inform me how busy he was and perhaps we’ll meet up sometime midweek. I said no problem tapi dlm hati ‘oh o’. Pas tu adala dia call sekali dua nak bersembang kut...i was a wreck!! I was too proud to suggest that we meet up at the same time berbuih2 mulut i menjampi supaya tefon i berbunyi. Kalau previously tak makan pun i kenyang and i lost so much weight within a week, ni i makan dgn gamaknya!! Semua i bantai, kek, crisps, nasik, pasta..you name it. When my friend tegur i bila makan banyak sangat, ngan kawan tu i rasa cam nak makan. I likened myself to Elizabeth Taylor le kononnya, go on binge eating bila hati gundah gulana, tak taunya makcik tu bila gumbira ada personal trainer and yg aku ni, melekatlah segala fat kat perut, bontot, peha, ketiak.....
One morning he called me up and said, eh, kita belum berjumpa lagi kan..?.(duh!) Well i’m free on so and so...apa kata you buat reservation kat KL Tower, i’ve never been up there..once you’ve secured the reservation, call me back to confirm ye.
What? Ko ingat aku ni secretary ko? And what about my schedule?? Ko ingat aku ni akan free je ke, bila ko petik jari aku berlari datang? Pi raa mabuk..(I wish i said all these, tapi kan i ni ada masalah perluahan perasaan..sampai sekarang tak pandai2 lagi.. benda2 dari 10 tahun dulu pun masih ada yang terbuku di hati, apatah lagi yang set2 yang berlaku this year or last year ke..)
Cik Kiah wanita yang lemah dulu, cakap OK, i’ll check it out. Pas tu letak tefon and dok termenung. Di manakah harga diri ini?? Senang sungguh nak diperkotak katikkan oleh jantan2 siamang. Kalau dulu tak menyempat2 nak jumpa kita and sekarang ni i was asked to TAKE A NUMBER??? What???! Banyak cantik muka dia yang jongos tu! Selepas satu petang terbaring merenung ceiling bilik sambil mengesat2 airmata yg jatuh dek kerana marah yg teramat sgt dgn segala yg terbuku di hati dan makan segala neka keropok dan coklat yg ada di dalam tabung simpanan, dgn hati yg berat but i knew i was doing the right thing....i was saving my dignity di samping mewakili dignity pompuan2 lain yg dipermainkan oleh jantan siamang.
I called him up and said, sorry, for the night that you want tu, they are fully booked lah. And i’m not free on A, B or C. Perhaps we’ll meet up some other time. And he said OK.
Begitulah kisahnya....ingatkan panas hingga ke petang..haha tak pasal2 nak emo pulak ni. But i tell you, i was so devastated then. I really mengikut jejak langkah idol i si Elizabeth tu dan berat melonjak naik macam harga beras kat pasaran sekarang...di samping itu juga, i went out with Mr. A – who was a colleague of my housemate. Nice guy tapi set2 yg dah berkenan and dia nak ajak kawin terus before i fly (i think). Aiyo! Ada sekali tu dia call and cakap, there’s something i nak cakap kat you..i kata sat! Jgn cakap lagi..i tengah nak exam minggu depan (penipu!), pas tu u boleh cakap, tak basi kan??? Pas seminggu i lari tak jawab call dia..ish ish teruk betul perangai Cik Kiah masa tu.
I also went out with Mr B who was a friend of a colleague’s husband. Also nice guy, cool, takde le nak corner2 i atau merimaskan i. I thought, OK, ni macam ada potential, kalu i dah pi UK and bila balik cuti status quo remained for both of us mungkin....? Ish, teruk betulkan masa tu..ingatkan nak kawin je..ye la...umur 26, 27, hormone tengah melonjak2...Yg mamat ni selalu call but we must have gone out twice je kut..sekali tu pi makan seafood kat Bagan lalang dgn the other couple tu..punya la tido jaga tido jaga tak sampai2 lagi.
And guess who la yg tiba2 memunculkan balik diri dia dalam hidup i?? Kalau tak si siamang terunggul tu i.e. ex-chenta agung. Satu malam ketika i berdengkur khusyuk di buai mimpi2 yg penuh dgn makanan yang lazat2 (harmless je kan??? Takde le mimpi naik kpl terbang ke atau pun yg sewaktu dgnnya), i dapat miss call. Anak sapa la pulak yg nak call mlm2 ni kan? Well, walaupun nombornya telah didelete, of course there things yg one dah boleh hafal pasal ECA kita kan? So i pun call la balik (gatai!)..what is it that you want???
I just want to find out how you are..(sesuwatu sangat kan???)
Well i’m fine..
But i’m not really...(and with this statement he really opened the flood gates i tell you)
One thing about being with someone masa jaman2 uni ni, you share mutual friends...so hati ni selalu akan digaru2 mengharapkan sesapa nak sampai kan berita pasal si dia. According to his best mate who happened to be from the same uni as my best mate Ustazah Munah, si siamang walaupun berparty bagi nak rak semenjak dibebaskan dari tahanan i 6 bulan yg lepas, kengkadang mamat ni murung jugak mengenangkan ‘chenta yg hilang’...ayat cam bagus je kan??? Ye la, he thought he could have his cake and eat it too...i was supposed to be this really sporting gofren yg sanggup didua, tiga, empat n lima with any passing bohsia.
Since tak lama lagi pun i dah nak blah, i thought what the heck! So i voluntarily suffered from temporary amnesia dari segala perangai keji dia and this time round i ingat i kebal mebal....no strings attached kata dia. So we saw each other everyday after work, masa couple dulu pun tak macam ni. Weekend pun sama gak..tapi sekali dua tu i terkesima gak whenever he had made some plans with other girls..tapi dgn gigihnya dia akan mengingatkan i yg eh, kata kan kita tak nak any strings attached..?? So weekend2 sebegitu i pun pretend yg i ni pun occupied walaupun cuma menghabiskan masa membuta di rumah sewa Ustazah Munah tengok vcd cite2 romantik pas tu tangkap sayu sorang2. The funny thing was, we weren’t a couple but perhaps we were more relaxed since takde expectation apa2. In fact sampai esok i nak terbang pun he was still spending time with me. Talk about old habits that die hard....we were like a dog and its flea...the latter is bad for the other but tak boleh dipisahkan. Mak i pun ada hidu bau2 that i was ‘seeing’ my ex walaupun after what he did, she wasn’t too keen on him. But she did say, Kiah, if you truly want him, then, tell him so. I know you are a very proud person...OK la mak, ikut cakap mak..and i did! I cakap apa yg terbuku kat hati i...selama 2,3 bulan kitaorg berpeleseran like it didn’t matter to me but it did. So, pick me, choose me, love me...(ni cam scene dlm Gray’s Anatomy pulak). And you know what he said??? 3 years is a long time..anything can happen. (For god’s sake! Boleh tak for once ada org yg ikut hati and perasaan and not common sense? Eh perasannya i! Entah memang dia takde perasaan kat i, kan?). So pergilah i ke UK despite of so many ‘ifs’meninggalkan debu2 peleseran yg tak mendatangkan habuk pun..
OK to cut this story short, i’m never one to follow my heart...
Mak i selalu cakap, kita pompuan kena ada education, job security, and social standing...chenta, boipren, laki, tak boleh kenyang and bila2 boleh lari. But i do envy those ladies who feel secure enough to ‘let go’. Tapi apa nak buat i dah dari kecik dah diprogram dek mak i. But i thank god yg i ni jenis set yg boleh focus. Masa i kena dump ngan first boipren i, it was 2 weeks to A-levels (results cantik – boleh tak i nak masuk bakul sendiri???), then lagi 2 bulan to my part 1 specialist exam yg i berabih terbang balik ke London i kena dump ngan ECA, sib baik aku pass. Moral of the story, i muak bila i baca satu ruangan akhbar melayu on Sunday ni (muak tapi lagi mau baca) dari ruang agony aunt jadi ruang luahan hati org2 yg kena dump: e.g. aku bertemu A di bandar J, berpeleseran di pantai K, pas tu tup2 kena tinggalkan. Apa salah aku? Aku rasa cam nak mati, tak lalu nak pi kerja or rasa2nya SPM kantoi ni...
Aiyo, move on la kan! Kumbang bukan seekor, kalau tak dapat yg badak, cari pulak jenis ladybird ke..bunga bukan sekuntum, banyak jenis ada...cuba2 la bunga yg baru...Ewah, sempat lak Cik Kiah jadi agony aunt sekejap.
Well, when i was there studying and kebosanan, hari Sabtu dihabiskan dgn menengok tv dari pagi (children’s BBC) sampai ke malam (yg dimulai dgn Blind Date and then tah hapa2), org2 di Msia yg ditinggalkan tu banyak cerita rupanya:
1. I thought i needed closure from Org Minyak so i sent him a lengthy email asking him ‘why did you break my heart so’...of course not and takde berbau2 sebegitu langsung. Tapi memandangkan dia ni pandai le jugak sebenarnya, dia cepat tangkap. Dia kata father dia baru meninggal, dia mintak tukar KL bla bla. (then i got an email from my bro yg menanya kat i you bukan keluar ke dgn si polan2 ni? You know what, he’s tackling the same girl i’m after..i said elo bang! We went out a few times, that hardly made him my boipren, yg ngadu2 kat i ni wat apa? Fight your own battles lah). So that was that, it was fun while it lasted.
2. Mr. A – selepas takdapat menanya soalan cepumas tu pada i dia pun sedar sendiri and telah ditangkap oleh pompuan lain di tempat kerja dia. Dlm sekelip mata even before i blah pun dengar cite dia kahwin and wife mengandung and tak berenti2 mengandung selepas tu (my god, kalu i terkawin ngan mamat ni, masters tah kemana, and anak keliling pinggang, setaun sorang...shit!)
3. Mr. B – he was a gentleman...masuk je sebulan i kat UK, dapat le email dia that said something like this, ‘Cik Kiah, i don’t know how to say this, but i’m getting married end of this year. I knew her through work, i hope you’re OK about this.’ Tersengih i membaca email dia..relaxla, it’s not as if kita dah berjanji sehidup semati..tapi terpikir gak i..wa..wa..masa dia sibuk mengabiskan prepaid card dia menelipon i bermain kayu tiga, sempat lagi pasang jerat satu lagi. Last i heard this guy pun dah beranak 3 atau 4. (God is great...dia tau i bukan jenis yg boleh cope beranak keliling pinggang. I’m much too...lembab, yes, that’s the word).
4. ECA – 5, 6 bulan pas tu i dengar cite dia berpacaran dgn budak berhingus belum habis belajar lagi. Tup tup depa bertunang....aaa??? Tapi sempat lagi bertelepathy ngan i yg kat UK tu...talk about Siamang who never loses his bulu...
SO, i’ve finished task no.7 (memang potong steam je citenya kan?), no. 8 kena cancel (ces!) therefore, tempat no. 8 kena ganti ngan no.6 petang ni..takut!
1. Get programme files sorted out for internal auditors visit day after tomorrow.
2. Get presentation ready for colleague for the conference in July.
3. Handover conf. bits and bobs to Si Baung and hope he understands what’s going on and tak menghantui hidup aku masa maternity leave nanti.
4. Let Si Baung have material to prepare for Friday all weekend meetings (i’m glad i’d be in hospital by then)
5. 3 official letters to write.
6. Have a filling.
7. Habiskan cerita org minyak.
8. Sempat ke nak jumpa kawan lama for lunch????
Damn i need to prioritise (btw, i’m waiting to be seen by my gynae and laptop battery running low).
Well, no. 7 it is then!

Jgn cakap lagi..i tengah nak exam minggu depan (penipu!), pas tu u boleh cakap, tak basi kan??? Pas seminggu i lari tak jawab call dia..ish ish teruk betul perangai Cik Kiah masa tu.
I also went out with Mr B who was a friend of a colleague’s husband. Also nice guy, cool, takde le nak corner2 i atau merimaskan i. I thought, OK, ni macam ada potential, kalu i dah pi UK and bila balik cuti status quo remained for both of us mungkin....? Ish, teruk betulkan masa tu..ingatkan nak kawin je..ye la...umur 26, 27, hormone tengah melonjak2...Yg mamat ni selalu call but we must have gone out twice je kut..sekali tu pi makan seafood kat Bagan lalang dgn the other couple tu..punya la tido jaga tido jaga tak sampai2 lagi.
And guess who la yg tiba2 memunculkan balik diri dia dalam hidup i?? Kalau tak si siamang terunggul tu i.e. ex-chenta agung. Satu malam ketika i berdengkur khusyuk di buai mimpi2 yg penuh dgn makanan yang lazat2 (harmless je kan??? Takde le mimpi naik kpl terbang ke atau pun yg sewaktu dgnnya), i dapat miss call. Anak sapa la pulak yg nak call mlm2 ni kan? Well, walaupun nombornya telah didelete, of course there things yg one dah boleh hafal pasal ECA kita kan? So i pun call la balik (gatai!)..what is it that you want???
I just want to find out how you are..(sesuwatu sangat kan???)
Well i’m fine..
But i’m not really...(and with this statement he really opened the flood gates i tell you)
One thing about being with someone masa jaman2 uni ni, you share mutual friends...so hati ni selalu akan digaru2 mengharapkan sesapa nak sampai kan berita pasal si dia. According to his best mate who happened to be from the same uni as my best mate Ustazah Munah, si siamang walaupun berparty bagi nak rak semenjak dibebaskan dari tahanan i 6 bulan yg lepas, kengkadang mamat ni murung jugak mengenangkan ‘chenta yg hilang’...ayat cam bagus je kan??? Ye la, he thought he could have his cake and eat it too...i was supposed to be this really sporting gofren yg sanggup didua, tiga, empat n lima with any passing bohsia.
Since tak lama lagi pun i dah nak blah, i thought what the heck! So i voluntarily suffered from temporary amnesia dari segala perangai keji dia and this time round i ingat i kebal mebal....no strings attached kata dia. So we saw each other everyday after work, masa couple dulu pun tak macam ni. Weekend pun sama gak..tapi sekali dua tu i terkesima gak whenever he had made some plans with other girls..tapi dgn gigihnya dia akan mengingatkan i yg eh, kata kan kita tak nak any strings attached..?? So weekend2 sebegitu i pun pretend yg i ni pun occupied walaupun cuma menghabiskan masa membuta di rumah sewa Ustazah Munah tengok vcd cite2 romantik pas tu tangkap sayu sorang2. The funny thing was, we weren’t a couple but perhaps we were more relaxed since takde expectation apa2. In fact sampai esok i nak terbang pun he was still spending time with me. Talk about old habits that die hard....we were like a dog and its flea...the latter is bad for the other but tak boleh dipisahkan. Mak i pun ada hidu bau2 that i was ‘seeing’ my ex walaupun after what he did, she wasn’t too keen on him. But she did say, Kiah, if you truly want him, then, tell him so. I know you are a very proud person...OK la mak, ikut cakap mak..and i did! I cakap apa yg terbuku kat hati i...selama 2,3 bulan kitaorg berpeleseran like it didn’t matter to me but it did. So, pick me, choose me, love me...(ni cam scene dlm Gray’s Anatomy pulak). And you know what he said??? 3 years is a long time..anything can happen. (For god’s sake! Boleh tak for once ada org yg ikut hati and perasaan and not common sense? Eh perasannya i! Entah memang dia takde perasaan kat i, kan?). So pergilah i ke UK despite of so many ‘ifs’meninggalkan debu2 peleseran yg tak mendatangkan habuk pun..
OK to cut this story short, i’m never one to follow my heart...
Mak i selalu cakap, kita pompuan kena ada education, job security, and social standing...chenta, boipren, laki, tak boleh kenyang and bila2 boleh lari. But i do envy those ladies who feel secure enough to ‘let go’. Tapi apa nak buat i dah dari kecik dah diprogram dek mak i. But i thank god yg i ni jenis set yg boleh focus. Masa i kena dump ngan first boipren i, it was 2 weeks to A-levels (results cantik – boleh tak i nak masuk bakul sendiri???), then lagi 2 bulan to my part 1 specialist exam yg i berabih terbang balik ke London i kena dump ngan ECA, sib baik aku pass. Moral of the story, i muak bila i baca satu ruangan akhbar melayu on Sunday ni (muak tapi lagi mau baca) dari ruang agony aunt jadi ruang luahan hati org2 yg kena dump: e.g. aku bertemu A di bandar J, berpeleseran di pantai K, pas tu tup2 kena tinggalkan. Apa salah aku? Aku rasa cam nak mati, tak lalu nak pi kerja or rasa2nya SPM kantoi ni...
Aiyo, move on la kan! Kumbang bukan seekor, kalau tak dapat yg badak, cari pulak jenis ladybird ke..bunga bukan sekuntum, banyak jenis ada...cuba2 la bunga yg baru...Ewah, sempat lak Cik Kiah jadi agony aunt sekejap.
Well, when i was there studying and kebosanan, hari Sabtu dihabiskan dgn menengok tv dari pagi (children’s BBC) sampai ke malam (yg dimulai dgn Blind Date and then tah hapa2), org2 di Msia yg ditinggalkan tu banyak cerita rupanya:
1. I thought i needed closure from Org Minyak so i sent him a lengthy email asking him ‘why did you break my heart so’...of course not and takde berbau2 sebegitu langsung. Tapi memandangkan dia ni pandai le jugak sebenarnya, dia cepat tangkap. Dia kata father dia baru meninggal, dia mintak tukar KL bla bla. (then i got an email from my bro yg menanya kat i you bukan keluar ke dgn si polan2 ni? You know what, he’s tackling the same girl i’m after..i said elo bang! We went out a few times, that hardly made him my boipren, yg ngadu2 kat i ni wat apa? Fight your own battles lah). So that was that, it was fun while it lasted.
2. Mr. A – selepas takdapat menanya soalan cepumas tu pada i dia pun sedar sendiri and telah ditangkap oleh pompuan lain di tempat kerja dia. Dlm sekelip mata even before i blah pun dengar cite dia kahwin and wife mengandung and tak berenti2 mengandung selepas tu (my god, kalu i terkawin ngan mamat ni, masters tah kemana, and anak keliling pinggang, setaun sorang...shit!)
3. Mr. B – he was a gentleman...masuk je sebulan i kat UK, dapat le email dia that said something like this, ‘Cik Kiah, i don’t know how to say this, but i’m getting married end of this year. I knew her through work, i hope you’re OK about this.’ Tersengih i membaca email dia..relaxla, it’s not as if kita dah berjanji sehidup semati..tapi terpikir gak i..wa..wa..masa dia sibuk mengabiskan prepaid card dia menelipon i bermain kayu tiga, sempat lagi pasang jerat satu lagi. Last i heard this guy pun dah beranak 3 atau 4. (God is great...dia tau i bukan jenis yg boleh cope beranak keliling pinggang. I’m much too...lembab, yes, that’s the word).
4. ECA – 5, 6 bulan pas tu i dengar cite dia berpacaran dgn budak berhingus belum habis belajar lagi. Tup tup depa bertunang....aaa??? Tapi sempat lagi bertelepathy ngan i yg kat UK tu...talk about Siamang who never loses his bulu...
SO, i’ve finished task no.7 (memang potong steam je citenya kan?), no. 8 kena cancel (ces!) therefore, tempat no. 8 kena ganti ngan no.6 petang ni..takut!

Cerita orang minyak yang dah basi..
Bella reminded me that my cerita org minyak belum tamat lagi (Also this , this and this) . It’s been nearly a year, dpd tak pregnant, terpregnant and dah nak beranak pun. Since i only have less than 2 weeks before things might get haywire again, i’d better finish it off, kan? Especially nowadays i find that blogging is the way to soothe one’s soul. So here we go..
The orang minyak (OM) went back to wherever he was supposed to be working and i thought good! Now my life can get back to normal and balik semula berpijak di bumi nyata. He left on Monday morning, then on Tues evening i got a phone call from him and i thought, wow, ini sudah bagus, sekarang ni nak bercalling2 dari sana pulak. Being the nitwit that i was, tak perasan pulak yg nombor local. He told me that boss dia kat sana had asked him to finish off a job for him in KL hence the reason why he was back. He had just touched down and could he come and meet me in 2 hours. Of course pucuk dicita and yg datang is raja segala ulam kan? I pun bersiaplah dgn sepatutnya. Dari baju kelawar dan bermata empat kpd baju good enough to bawak ke mana2 and bermata lekap. I remember that it had already started to rain. He arrived at my place around 9pm and at that time it was raining mak gajah with thunderstorm some more. We went to BB area, dia kata nak bernostalgia kat the Federal (hotel ye, bukan bakery) bec masa dia kecik2 dulu the father selalu bawak dia pi makan aiskrim kat situ (punya la posh kan pasal masa kecik2 dulu i setakat makan magnolia drumstick and itupun kira dah cukup posh). And to think that sempat lagi dia tu bawak ole2 dari sana lagi utk i...Mak oi, kalau i lama sikit berdating2 ngan dia memang i mintak pinggan mangkuk crystal, silk and apa2 lagilah...tapi masa tu masih innocent and pure lagi..bukan macam sekarang yg dah resident evil, kan Esah??
I remember that he parked his car in this building next door to the hotel, can’t remember bangunan apa bec. I ni tak cekap pasal2 landmark ni but the building looked a little bit abandoned or belum siap sepenuhnya. And then i was thinking habih la aku basah kuyup ni..ni ada ura2 nak masukkan i ke wet t-shirt contest ke ni? Hish! Tak baik berprasangka (or akukah yang berfantasi) sebegitu sekali, mamat ni keluarkan payung golf yang lebar dua, tiga depa tu phew..! Tapi yg i munsykil was the need to memegang the payung with his right hand and mengepit i with his left...amboi! Sesuwatu sangat kan! I takut je kena panah petir masa tu, mana le tau god nak bagi warning siang2 (thou shall not commit...kelucahan melampau ke..)... But one thing la, among the not so many guys that i dated, dia yg tinggi lampai with just the right amount of flesh (it didn’t matter that he was dentally challenged, i know of the right people from whom he could have gotten them fixed)..yes, i like some meat on my man, but takde la concentrate kat perut je kan..pas tu tak nak la yg terlampau kurus and kalau tersiku boleh lebam kita or kemetot berkepak ke..(ish kejamnya aku!)
OK, so we went to the coffee house and order la aiskrim walaupun kat luar tengah sejuk bedi. And boy, this guy could talk. I am most comfortable being with someone yg banyak cerita because i like to listen..tapi taknak lah asyik bercerita masuk bakul angkat sendiri cam Gig Bur tu. He kept on saying how he wished he could just get a room and not having to go home and esoknya boleh terus masuk office.....oh oh! Ni hint2 semacam je kan?? Tak cukup ke i menolak pelawaan subtlenya mengajak i mengira bintang2 di langit a few nights before di Bkt Ant@rabangsa?? Tapi otak bergeliga i berjalan gak..i said, you wouldn’t want to risk offending your mum, dah la balik pun sekali sekala takkan you nak put up the night kat hotel pulak?? And here i am thinking i was young, free and single..this guy was likewise plus witty, loaded and interesting and ghope so so (yg set2 beautiful people ni payah nak jaga sikit). I memang rasa cam i ni Belle and he was my Beast (tambah lagi he was big and ‘shaggy’- eh it’s like me describing a St. Bernard lak) never took any advantage of the situation! Damn! I was so boringly prim and proper...my mum must have done a good job or i should be thankful to those Convent school sisters that taught me till i was 15. Then he sent me home, he said he was leaving on Thurs morning, would be in meetings all Wed and most prob. won’t be able to meet up with me before he left. I said no problem, kalau dapat jumpa it’s a bonus, kalau tak takkan nak meroyan lak kan?
Then satu purnama, dua and tiga purnama berlalu. Hati ini berdebak debuk when he told me out of the blue, ‘sayang, abang nak balik..’....... NOT! Tadi tu petikan dari iklan syampu Wardina.
Sorry, kena sambung di lain waktu....(it will end, i promise you, ni bukan cerita seribu satu malam).

Keranamu Anu@r Z@in
What a night it was! Truth be told, it was my first ever concert. Ye la..i ni underprivilege as a kid..the only time i dapat tengok something like that masa kecik2 was the Royal Indian Circus back at my hometown. The only thing i remembered from that was the women acrobats had chubby arses which they managed to squeeze into their tight fitting costumes. And only now i can afford to pay for tickets..kalau dulu2 nak keluar 2, 3 hundred bucks pun berkira..
Anyway, lesson no. 1. Unless the concert is held somewhere like a stadium and org dok lepak2 atas padang, one must dress to kill. With layers of makeup on me and the accessories that i managed to pow from colleagues, i didn't really look that out of place even though i still had on my only comfortable shoes which were pink coloured croc wedges...i hope my bulging tummy was my excuse..Lesson no.2, one must always follow the seat number walaupun depa guna cardboard je lekat kat belakang kerusi. My friend and i had to vacate our seats for this trio and i thought the guy's face looked so familiar...i ingat kut kut la he's one of those behind-the-scene celebrities...was a bit excited..ye la kan..the next table spotted Datuk K's ex-wife..my friend and i thought that we've finally arrived, you know rubbing shoulders with the high-society..until my friend mentioned why the guy looked so familiar was because ghope dia seroman dgn Chua Soi Lek. Damn..(we also had this guy at our table that looked like Mahadi's Jalud..donno if anyone still remember once -upon-a-time famous ventriloquist and his dummy).
AZ can sure shake his botty! Even though i would prefer a much meatier deriere. No Esah, i ni tak lah menuju ke arah kebohsiaan...i was just thinking, if i were a guy yg metro or homo sapien, i'd be like you know...we were the only tudung clad makciks at our table, but boy did we scream 'AZ..! We love you!!! Bukak...bukak...(ni suruh dia bukak belt dia and baling kat audience, takkan baling tie and cuff links je kan??). I tell you, his vocal....if i had him just for one day...i'd put him in a cage and ask him to sing non-stop..The dinner was good, i wish i could tambah nasik but the lasdies at the table looked like kalau masuk sebutir lagi, their tight fitting little black dresses might burst at the seams. I forgo coffee because my leg dah bersimpul2 menahan kencing and i was not about to miss any second of AZ.
Pas tu tengah2 org syok menghayati suara dan jelingan manja AZ, hp i berbunyi, tengok nombor dari the other place i worked (B). Anak sapa lak yg call malam2 ni? Sayup2 dengar suara junior mintak nasihat, which i said, sms boleh tak? I can't hear you! Nak dijadikan cite, ada sorang client i dtg malam2 buta with emergency...actuallynya anyone can manage her..tapi my immediate boss at that place had been notified, dia kata takpe, they all akan manage tomorrow morning. Ni cakap ada dua meaning ni..yes, we can manage honestly or yes we can manage but i know you are at AZ's concert..if you are well enough to shake your botty, you'd better damn be well enough to tend your client tomorrow morning. If not, i most probably akan kena sumpah 7 keturunan! Then i teringat that i left my work pass at my usual workplace (A). Ayayai!!
This morning by 8.15am i was already at the the other workplace (B), managed to get in without my work pass and nak dijadikan cite, i have to carry out a procedure on Monday. Aiyo! No work pass how? Takkan nak dtg dari rumah pergi workplace A pass tu baru patah balik gi workplace B. And on top of that ingatkan nak cuti hantar little D ke nursery. Cemana nak buat 3 benda sebelum pukul 12 tengahari ni? The immediate boss cukup impress i tadi dtg kerja walaupun dgn perut memboyot, pada hari Sabtu dan selepas late night, so dia pun belanja nasik lemak tepi tasik (tapi idak le i pikir macam nak terjatuh cinta pulak kat dia kan cam org ittew, kan?). Then i thought, what the heck, just go to workplace A to collect my workpass, unload the burden of previous nasik lemak, bukak comp, check email related to conference, ha ni dok memblogging...ish ish..mak yg tak sedar ada anak kat rumah ni! So, i'm going now...dan semua ini kerana mu Anu@r Z@in...
(Btw, Sheila Majid and J Abdillah are performing on 30/5. Damn i dah dlm pantang masa tu!)

Random ramblings
- Still at the office. Not because i'm busy doing any work....i'm just buying time..not because i plan to run away from home..I'm watching Anu@r Z@in tonight! He'll be at the Felda thingy. I'm not sure whether it's just going to be a show or plus dinner..apa2 pun boleh kenyang tengok anak pak jain. After 35 years and 36 weeks pregnant finally got to watch him without either my friend or i having to pretend jadi secretary. The only setback is that in my haste to leave home this morning, i managed to forget bawak baju beronggeng utk mlm ni. So, i'll be in my work clothes..managed to pow some accessories from colleagues, i also have my makeup bag, i'll put on tons of foundation and i hope i will manage to look the part of a chic makcik.
- In preparation for tonight, i've cut my finger nails. Didn't manage to pluck my eyebrows since they are ever so bushy now...thanks to the opening of Put-jaya-KL hway, no more jam for me every morning hence no more eyebrow plucking in the car. I have to get it done before i beranak..want to look my best during confinement to accept visitors. If only i could touch up my roots <---gila!
- Surfing through fotopages and came across pictures of BCL and Ashr@f Sincl@ir , the controversial Bali ones. Damn, if i had a body like hers, i'd surely flaunt it. Or if i had a boyfriend like hers, i'd be swinging from his arms like baby org utan. (Slut betul!). Btw, if i have my assests pointing (or still pointing) north like our Math Genius, i'd probably be uploading (or downloading? Mana satu?) my pics onto the internet gak kut..
- Last week, i made a comment to my not-so-little boss..that her boobs are huge for her body size. We were at dinner, those things were bobbing at my eye level and the words came out even before i could stop it. And to think that for many years when she was my immediate boss, i really hated her guts (vice versa) and suddenly i became so 'pally'..
- Had late lunch with Bella on Monday. Women are so sensitive and nice. I'm much calmer now since i know what to do after many hours thinking about current problem. Thanks muah muah! (Btw, i'm not hormonal thus full of emotional ups and downs, i'm just buying time now).
- Spent Labour day in bed all yesterday afternoon. I think i deserve it for it is such hard labour lugging the tummy weight about. Will come to work till i drop or the day before OT..because tons of work still to do and face it, i come to work to do some socialising.
- Monty spent his Labour day in bed as well. Amboi! Mentang2 ada aircond. I prised one of his eyes opened at 4.30 and tanya, 'taknak keluar makan angin ke??' He's turning into a lazy bum. Pity the other two yg masih depending on kipas angin.
- Paid little D's nursery fees this morning. Kopak aku. She's starting nursery on Monday. Have to put a stop to her watching Ch104 and Astro aruna and cakap 'awas' or 'jongkot'. The beauty is, nursery is just next door. I can kalau muka tak malu just pass her over the hedge to her teacher.
- Righty ho, this chic makcik is going to get ready. Taraa. OK, sesapa yg kat down south tu, tolong la hapdate blog. You have an obligation to your cult followers.
