Pengalaman ngeri di suatu Ramadhan

I stay at home these days to work. I ingat bulan baik camni i nak berbakti pada bumi by limiting my carbon footprints....hehe..actuallynya, with it being a fasting month, badan penat and jalan jem yg teramat, rasa tak kosser nak bangun, mandi, dress up and drive the 40 odd kilometres to the office. However, i still try to maintain some discipline meaning, by 8.30 dah ada kat meja, mandi tak mandi belakang kira (oh the beauty of working from home) and basically work. Itupun 2,3 hari jugaklah utk penghuni2 kat rumah ni grasp the concept that mummy is at home but not available: so, jangan sesapa tetiba nak tengok tv pagi2 sebelum berhijrah ke nursery kat sebelah rumah...jangan ada sesapa expect kita mandikan anak pulak utk sesi pagi and no....i can’t mind the baby while you do housework (ni khas utk bibik la) and no walkies either (esp. For Melly). Treat me as if i’m not around. My capacity to concentrate ni pendek sangat...come 10.30-11.00, i mula la merayau2 check tv channel, bagi ikan makan and come noon, pick up some of the papers, bawak naik atas katil, konon nak sambung baca la but then bye bye...so people of no.31, it’s important that i start early in the morning.

Bagus jugak dok kat rumah..tendency nak melencong ke KayLCC on the way home is reduced 100%, can save some money utk hari tua (as if la takde internet shopping, kan Ina, kan??). Hati pun berkobar2 mereka apa nak masak utk berbuka. But i’m no domestic goddess cam Tijah tu (btw, of which ada la 2,3 resipinya i dah try. Pahala you Tijah). Balik2 setiap minggu menu pusing2 kat situ jugak. MG makan nampak tersiksa sangat – baik sikit cam dpd orang dlm pantang je..it’s either memang tak sedap or he’s saving it bila dia nak berbukak posser tajaan di hotel2 (i tell you he can really EAT when he’s at these places. Bila tengok pinggan dia memang nampak sedap je. Kita baru terkedek2 dapat nasi, pinggan dia ada roast lamb la...udang la...dia punya ‘zoning’ device lagi canggih).

Speaking of berbuka kat hotel ni, obviously i don’t do it often sebabnya takde orang nak sponsor unlike the nature of MG’s job. Kenkadang tu boleh le i ikut sama which is so rare because MG’s present company ni kemut sikit, spouses tak di invite sama. At his previous company, at least 2,3X i akan pergi sama. Anyway, walaupun ini adalah bulan ramadhan and i’m supposed to jaga mulut joyah i but i can’t help it, come bulan posser i mesti teringat kat this couple (colleague MG & wife). They were a good team. Kalau main treasure hunt nescaya juara bertahan....they put their heads together (i think) and masing2 tahu which area each is supposed to cover. Balik ke meja dua2 tangan akan pegang pinggan....hah ambik kau! Between the two of them, no less than 4 plates penuh2 enough to feed a refugee camp. Fine..if you eat that much OK la..but apa yg i tak berkenan is that there will be leftovers. Once tu, hotel yg mengong tu tak top up pulak the trays yg kosong. MG and i teringin sangat nak these really fat grilled prawns tapi dah habis..and you know what la kan..kat pinggan depa haaa bergelimpangan those fat prawns. (kalau makan kat kedai mamak mungkin regenya mencecah 100 ringgit). Kitaorg telan airliur je la kan...pas tu when a waiter came to collect the plates, the wife nonchalantly told the guy to clear theirs...whatttt?!!!!! Dengan muka selamba tanpa rasa bersalah pun...so bila ada company buat makan buffet camtu i always ask MG make sure we lose them, taknak duduk dekat2. I trauma tau bazir2 makanan camtu!
