Maling

Today is the last day of sahur and baru first time i bangun. Selalunya i akan celik mata, tengok jam and teguk air dari tumbler sebelah katil. MG gets up everytime and makan apa2 yg ada...instant soup ke, maggi ke...ish sungguh tak isteri mithalinya aku kan??

The reason that the eyes are wide opened at this hour is because tadi ada drama at my neighbour's house yg lebih kurang 100m dari rumah we all. Ada maling nak pecah masuk! I heard shouts, footsteps berlari kat luar and állahuakbar'. I lari ke bawah cari MG yg terbongkang tidur depan tv (the kids are occupying the marital bed because Monty has the single bed all to himself..I dapat sikit 'kawasan'dicelah2 anak) and woke him up. We watched from the balcony. Then little D bising nak susu, MG turun ke kitchen pi buat susu and i terkocoh2 cari handphone nak tepon polis (role reversal betul kan??). Damn pda handphone baru i yg canggih ittew (saja nak bongkak sikit) kehabisan battery and kena pau MG punya gak. Pas tu it took me 10 secs to think about the emergency number: definitely not 911, is it 991 or 9999 or??? I remembered that our emergency number berubah2 and confusing (atau aku ke yg minah confuse??)...decided to stick to good old 999 and thankgod the operator jawab and dia kata dah ada org call dah. Pas tu this neighbourhood jadi meriah with patrol cars and encik2 polis. I guess we have to wait till morning to know the cerita sensasi.

Since nak raya ni, tak sah kalau tak buat entry berbau raya kan? We sent Siti the temp maid back to her bro's place in KD. On Sunday, i spring cleaned half the house (half only because MG's still bertukang our new book cabinet kat living room atas). After our previous maid ran away, i think i've sort got into the habit of tidying up after ourselves. MG complained about Siti to me: benda kotor depan mata pun dia tak kemas...when i asked her to work for us, i emphasised to her that my main concern is the children esp. Baby X. So memang she'll look after baby X and then little D sikit2 and the rest tu tak berapa nampak. She's more like a 'nanny'...but i supposed both MG and i dah tersedar that maids are just 'pembantu', tak boleh nak expect diaorg jadi superwoman..teruk betul perangai we all dulu (esp. with our fisrt maid Piko yg looked after little D)..terbongkang aje...(saying that, MG and I handwashed/masuk mesin, iron our own work clothes and undies and i cook most of the times).

In terms of balik raya, we are going to beraya at my PIL's first. Which kampung has never been an issue with us..dua2 sama, adik beradik we all 3 kerat je. Sama je (tak) meriahnya. Last year it was my kampung, this year's MG but he's from local, purely for the fact that kena tunggu Siti balik from KD on 2nd raya to jaga kucing baru boleh balik kampung i. Actually, i prefer to balik rumah my inlaw's first because then i'd feel less guilty: sebabnya kalau balik kg i dulu pun, dah raya ke 4 or 5 baru nak terbit balik kat KL...entah apa kata my MIL..but it's always been like this because i jarang balik kg kut...(FYI, last balik kampung was a year ago for raya!! Tsk! tsk! Tengok Esah, bukan ko sorang je yg si Tenggang...in my defence, i was pregnant and tak suka nak jalan jauh, plus my parents selalu datang sini and i feel guilty about leaving the maid behind to look after the cats).

Dan semenjak i kawin ngan MG, tak pernah we all tido kat rumah my PIL but as memecah tradisi, we'll be doing that this year..sebab maid takde hehe..so this afternoon, i shall bundle up the kids and hubby and drive over to their place. The furkids shall be left with ample food to last them for 2 days unless Melly decides to gobble them down in one go..pandai2 la korang. Pity my MIL doesn't like cats...if not...

So folks, once again Selamat Hari Raya ye..maaf zahir dan batin.
