OMFG!! Hubby and I, we woke up late this morning...
Hubby (patting my shoulder), "Ummi, bangon... Da pukol 8.30 pagi ni... Da lambat..."
Me (woke up feeling groggy), "Huh? Da pukol brape, Baba?"
Hubby, "Da pukol 8.30 pagi ni... Da lambat..."
Me (eyes widely awake all of a sudden), "Huh? Ape? Mak diyer... Da lambat giler sei..."
Work for the both of us, starts at 9am and yet we're still home!! Maseng2 masok bilek air, mandi... Can't blame us la... It was raining in the morning just now... Weather was very cold and cosy... So the both of us slept like a baby...
Hubby went to work by himself coz there wasn't enough time for him to send me... I took a cab and this was what happened... As usual, I'll called for a cab to work whenever the hubby's not sending me... But this time, since it's raining... I couldn't get a single cab coz the lines were busy... Called Comfort City Cab - line's busy... Called Premier Cab - line's busy... Called Smart Cab - line's busy... Called Tibs Cab - line's so freaking busy too... And I was so in a hurry to go to work!! Gosh!! So what I did was I rushed to the nearest Taxi Stand which was situated at Yishun MRT Station... Guess what I saw... A FREAKING LONG QUEUE!! And my watch was showing that it's nearly 9.15am already!! Got no other freaking choice but to freakingly queue with the rest of them; people who're eagerly waiting for a cab...
Sms-ed my superior this - "Hi C.K, I'm gonna be a bit late for work..."
Sms-ed Hubby at the same time - "I'm still waiting for a freaking cab... Freaking long queue..."
So yeah, waited for a freaking cab for like 15mins... Hubby responded to my sms a few minutes later by calling up and said, "Ummi, nak Baba anta tak? Baba skarang kat Yishun...?" I declined his offer coz I just got into a cab... Reached workplace at about 9.45am... Thanks to the Uncle who drove it... He drove quiet fast...
Anyway, Ramadhan's coming in a few days... I got something to share with all my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, uncles and aunties, nieces and nephews etc... So please read... :)
Have a happy month of Ramadhan ahead...
Ya Allah...
Panjangkanlah umur saudara-saudaraku. Kurniakanlah kesihatan yang baik padanya, terangi hatinya dengan nur pancaran iman. Tetapkanlah hatinya, perluaskanlah rezekinya, dekatkanlah hatinya kepada kebaikan, jauhkanlah hatinya pada kejahatan, tunaikanlah hajatnya baik hajat dalam agama, dunia dan akhirat.
Ya Muhaimin Ya Salam...
Jika dia jatuh hati izinkanlah dia menyentuh hati seseorang yang hatinya terpaut padaMu agar tidak terjatuh dia ke dalam jurang cinta nafsu. Jagalah hatinya agar tidak berpaling daripada melabuhkan hatinya pada hatiMu. Jika dia rindu, rindukanlah dia pada seseorang yang merindui syahid di jalanMu.
Ya Allah...
Jangan biarkan saudara-saudaraku terjatuh dalam perjalanan panjang menyeru manusia kejalanMu jika kau halalkan aku merindui saudara-saudaraku, janganlah aku melampaui batas sehingga melupakan daku pada cinta hakiki, rindu abadi dan kasih sejati hanya untukMu.
Ya Allah...
Kurniakanlah saudara-saudaraku kesenangan, ketenangan, kecemerlangan hidup di dunia akhirat kelak...
AMIN YA RABBAL 'ALAMIIN....
"Agama buat kehidupan di akhirat, harta buat kehidupan di dunia. Di dunia orang yang tidak berharta berasa susah hati, tetapi orang yang tidak beragama merasa lebih sengsara." (Saidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq )
"Jangan engkau bersahabat dengan sahabat yang mana dia begitu berharap kepada engkau ketika mahu menyelesaikan masalahnya sahaja sedangkan apabila masalah atau hajatnya telah selesai maka dia memutuskan kemanisan persahabatan. Bersahabatlah dengan mereka yang mempunyai ketinggian dalam melakukan kebaikan, memenuhi janji dalam perkara yang benar, memberi pertolongan kepada engkau serta memadai dengan amanahnya atau sikap bertanggungjawabnya terhadap engkau." (Imam Umar bin Abdul Aziz)
Marhaban Ya Ramadhan...

OMG!!
Great!! Jussssssst great!! I came to the office this morning only to find out that there'll be a few contractors arriving to dissemble the present office desks and ensemble a whole new entire ones in.
My superior (getting all smiley), "Good morning Lily, I know this is such a short notice for you and everyone, but the contractors, they'll be arriving shortly to dissemble the old desks and ensemble the new ones for us..."
Me (puzzled), "What!! I thought you said that they'll be coming on this freaking Thursday?"
Him (still looking all smiley), "Yes, I know but Mrs Lim (my lady boss) called in earlier this morning to inform that the new desks will be arriving today... So all of us, we have no choice but to pack up all our office and personal belongings plus computer, and stack them somewhere else for the time being..."
Him (still looking all smiley), "Yes, I know but Mrs Lim (my lady boss) called in earlier this morning to inform that the new desks will be arriving today... So all of us, we have no choice but to pack up all our office and personal belongings plus computer, and stack them somewhere else for the time being..."
Me (frowning), "What? Now?"
Him (all cool and smiley), "Yes... Please inform the rest of our office colleagues... You have anything on pending that needs to be done?"
Me (getting a bit stressed and pissed already), "Of course!! What do you think? I'm suppose to liaise with some hotel customers NOW!! I made a promise to them that I'll call them early in the morning! And NOW, I've to pack everything plus my COMPUTER?!! I need my PC to work with!!"
Him (still all smiley), "It's OK Lily... I'll help you packed your stuffs and ensemble your PC in the meeting room for you... Will that do?"
Me (all smiley and pleased), "Oh, OK... That'll be great C.K... Thanks a lot!!"
Him (talking to the other colleagues), "The rest of you, remember to clear all your stuffs and please ensemble your PCs in the meeting room if you need your PCs to work with..."
So yeah, basically, he assisted me in the cleaning up and all. He even ensembles my PC for me... Mwahahahaha!! Talk about V.I.P treatment... lol...
I took some pictures of the office... Awe man!! The office is in a freaking MESS!! Wonder how long it takes for them; contractors to get the whole thing done... Mrs Lim said that the new office desks would look much more better and nicer for us to work in... So, we'll see about that...

Last Saturday, we planned to watch the 'International Fireworks Display Competition' which was held at the Esplanade, after an afternoon nap but babies and I, we ended up sleeping till about 7 plus in the evening... pfft... Hubby pulak klua skejap gi solat kat Masjid Ahmad Ibrahim... So tak jadi la...
What I did after waking up from my nap? I decided to do some tidying-up of some stuffs... Separated and packed all the unwanted clothing into a huge box before donating it to Darul Ma'wa, an organization for little Muslim orphans in Singapore. Every year, hubby and I, we'll donate our clothing to them before and on the month of Ramadhan... So yeah, we do our bit for these orphans... :) You know, the first time when we sent our contribution to the orphanage, I was like shedding my tears... Couldn't control la... I was crying like crazy when I saw some pictures of them; orphans... Kesian... Some were as young as 3 years of age... I was like crying and crying coz I was imagining, them, celebrating the month of Ramadhan and Syawal without their parents... I mean, it's such a pity to see them like that... OK, I've to stop... I'm gonna be all teary again if I talk about them... I mean, y'all should go visit Darul Ma'wa and see for yourself... How happy the staffs were when there's caring people giving and donating to them... It really touched my heart...

So OK, did the entire packing thingy till 6 plus in the wee morning (Sunday) and I slept at about 7pm. Woke up at 10.30am (3 and a half hours of SLEEP!! Gosh!!) coz the babies were awake... Got the hubby's clothing ready coz he had his usual course at ITE Aljunied... Got babies and myself ready coz we've a wedding function to attend to...
Met up with my parents, mom-in-law, Kak Sue and son, Khai plus my other relatives downstairs... The wedding was held under our block... Our neighbour's daughter got married... Wedding decorations were nice and the food was great... Except for some of them; people who were singing the kara-OK songs... OMG!! Their voice - SO UNBEARABLY AWFUL... We had such a fun time laughing our hearts out listening to them singing...
I was called out to sing a song... So yeah, I sang 'PASRAH' - Erra Fazira. To Lala: Too bad you're not here to record me singing... I know how much you want it so badly to see me singing on a wedding function... Hee hee... Next time la OK... Nanti kau bole record sepuas-puas nye...
I got the hubby to send the packed clothings to the orphanage after his class ended... He returned home to fetch me and babies before we headed down to Geylang again to buy our Hari Raya clothings... Y'all might thing we're crazy or something to buy them; clothing so early... I mean, kalau beli time bulan puase... Mak diyer... Punye la the very the CROWDED and STUFFY... So, we decided to buy them earlier... :)
Had dinner at City Plaza... The food was so freaking expensive!! It costs $4.50 for a plate of Chicken Rice!! Gosh!! Nak ketok duit orang je... Kalau sedap tak pe jugak... Sepuloh kali mak aku masak... Lagi sedap... No pictures taken at Geylang coz I left my mobile phone in the car... pfft...
Pictures at the wedding functions uploaded as above...

Talk Of The Day...
Left the office at about 8pm yesterday... Hubby fetched me up, bringing little Asil along... We then headed to Kiddy Palace, Causeway Point Shopping Centre, where we bought a 'Baby Rocking Chair' for Little Asyura coz the one that she had now wasn't working that well... We purchased the new one at a very good price... Usual price was $119.90 but the price was cut down to $69.90... Very freaking cheap... So ape lagi, we grab it la... It looked nice and it cums with a handle to push the 'rocking chair cum baby stroller' around, with 2 cute little toy bunnies in it... (pictures uploaded)
After that, we went to the food court situated at the old Marsiling Interchange to have our dinner... Hubby and I, we ate Wanton Noodles (deliciously nice...). We had a little shopping spree at Sheng Siong Supermarket coz hubby wanted to get his toiletries... Dropped by at the 1st brother-in-law's crib coz the hubby wanted to grab some stuffs from his brother... So yeah, stayed there for a little while before heading back home... Thanks Kak Sue for making us those drinks... :)
You know, I was so very delighted and happy that our Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is doing his bit for us, Singaporeans (Thank you PM Lee...). Especially for us parents and parents-to-be... He's like giving tax rebates, extending of maternity leaves, more child leaves etc.... I mean, that's great, don't you think... I mean, I really would want to have more time spend at home with my family... Well, maybe, perhaps when Little Asyura and Little Asil reached the age of 5 or 6 years of age, then hubby and I, we could both consider on having 1 or 2 more kids... If we could still afford to... Insya'allah...
Oh!! Oh!! Nearly forgot!! As usual, hubby gave me a ride to work every morning. Guess what we saw... OMG!! We saw this little red Mini Cooper and it's nearly, entirely, filled with 'Hello Kitty' stickers all over it!! The thing which surprised hubby and me was the driver... It's a HE not a SHE... All along the way, we thought that it's a she but NOOOOOOO, it's a freaking man... And I tell you, he's a 'Hello Kitty' freak... He has 'Hello Kitty' thingys all over him too... bleurgh... Never in my life had I seen such wonders... Mwahahahahahaha!! Whoever he is, he's the laughing stock of the early morning for us!! Oh man... Really funny... If he's into 'Hello Kitty', I wonder what would the 'craze' for his girlfriend be... Pikachu? Maybe... lol...

Sooner Or Later, I'm Gonna Have A Pair Of Panda Eyes...
I wasn't in the office yesterday... Took urgent child leave... My little angels were down with high fever... Basically, I was awake most of the time from evening till dawn looking after them... Therefore, I was lacking of sleep... Got a pair of huge ass looking black eye bags right underneath my eyes... pfft... Ngantok dan penat giler bersengkang mate... Pitied them; babies... They were like crying and whining, feeling very agitated most of the time... Took them to the nearby Polyclinic and thank GOD, we're given top priority once we reached there. At least we saved time on the freaking long wait... Alhamdulillah...
Babies were looking a bit better today... Alhamdulillah... So here I am, in the office feeling so freaking sleepy, moody, grouchy and everything... We had a freaking 2 and a half hours of Management meeting at 10a.m this morning... I was so not into it... The meeting was a dread and I was praying so hard for it to end coz it felt like my eyes were drooping down already... I was so not focusing on the topic that we had in the meeting today...
Thought of staying a bit late in the office today... Gotta lot of work still on pending... So yeah, I guess I'll better get them done... sigh...
Here, I would like to say farewell and big THANK YOU (for helping me out during my maternity leave and everything) to Raquel, my ex-colleague who had just left the company to pursue her dreams; that is to get married to the one she truly love and to settle down in Dubai... "Wishing You A Joyous Marriage Ahead... I will definitely miss you... Remember that ONLY A TRUE MAN will love you for what you are even if you're fat or ugly... Keep in touch always... :)"

Insya'allah, You'll Make It Thru...
I went to visit my 3rd Sis-in-law's blog (Muz @ Multiply) this morning... What I read in her latest blog made me recall those days when hubby and I, went thru our most unforgettable 'highs and lows' together...
From the moment we planned for our engagement, till the day we got married, got ourselves a home of our own and start our little family from scratch... During that time, about 4 years ago, the monthly salary that I received wasn't as much as anyone of you would think it would be... I was bringing back home $1300/- a month... Being the eldest in my family, responsibilities at home were always on me... From toilet cleaning, doing the laundry to cooking and even drilling and repairing of household stuffs...To add in to that, with some personal family problems, I was basically, frankly, in a stressful situation... Having hubby who was then, my future fiance, in National Service, really took a huge toll on me... He didn't have a fix job due to the freaking NS... Every day and every month, we struggled to save up enough money... Nak gi dating pon nak kena tengok budget... Kadang-kadang kena bawak adek pulak tu... We had people who always wanted to compete and compare their lives with ours... We had people who wasn't into the idea of us planning to get engaged and married... We had people who always looked down on our abilities just because we got so little pay... In other words, some people treated us like DIRT just because to them, we ain't got no money and our working designation wasn't that good enough... Well, come on you people!! Ni semua da basi la!! Only people with typical mentality would have the brains to think in that sort of way... pfft...
Alhamdulillah, hubby and I, we managed to brush their criticism and hatred towards us aside... Slowly but surely, we planned our way thru not bothering what others might say... Went thru a lot of obstacles together (Allah swt saje yg tahu)... Even up till now, we still can't believe that we did everything, I really mean EVERYTHING on our own without any financial help (about $20,000 to $30,000 in all came from our savings) given by anyone accept ourselves and with the help of The Almighty Allah plus with the support and encouragement given by our friends and relatives... The Almighty, He was always there for us thru good and bad times, saving us whenever we're in trouble, sharing our joy and happiness... For that, I'm always grateful and thankful to Him...
Here, I wish to thank all of them; people, who looked down upon our abilities and had contributed to all the problems that we went thru... From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much... If it weren't for you, we won't be able to face the challenges, mishaps, hardships and got this far... We won't be able to appreciate our hard earned efforts and we won't mature a step further in life... If it weren't for you people, we won't be what we are today... YES WE KNOW that there's still much for us to learn... Experience had taught us a lot!! Thank you so much for all the criticism and hatred that you people had towards us!!
During my teenage years, I always thought that having problems were a dread... This was because, I was too afraid to face and find a solution for it... I learned that problems won't exist if it weren't for us who created it...
So yeah, basically, I felt sorry for Muzliati (3rd Sis-in-law) and her hubby after all they've been thru coz hubby and me, we're in the same boat too...
To: Muzliati (and her hubby). Insya'allah, you guys will make it thru... Stay as low and as humble as possible... Pray and hope for the best... Insya'allah.. The Almighty never breaks His promise to His loyal servants... :)

Happy 18th Birthday to Cousin Lala @ Saurah Sayuti!!
At last it's officially 'legal'!! You're 18 already!! Woo hoo!! Suke la tu... A year older and a year wiser... Alhamdulillah...
A poem especially for the birthday girl...
No matter where the four winds take you
May everyday the sun awakes you,
With a warm and wonderful smile
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do, be happy...
And someone here will be thinking of you,
Missing you and always...
Wishing you well...
To: Lala - Wherever you go and whatever you do, always think of Him, The Almighty coz He is The Only One whom you could always turn to... Never ever forget your roots and where you came from... And if you ever find 'love', remember that it's not the 'looks' that counts. What matters most is the 'inner beauty' and whether can he really guide, and take good care of you... Always remember that behind every problem, there's always a solution... Have a wonderful birthday blast!! Mmmmmmmmmuuuuahhh!!

Dogs!! Dogs!! Dogs!! War!! War!! War!!
What is it with me and dogs? I'll always freak out when I'm near one... I mean, urggh!! I'm a freaking coward when it comes to facing a dog...
I was on half day yesterday... As usual, I'll on board a bus home. It took me about 10mins to reach the bus stop. So there I was, sitting, listening to my MP3 and minding my own freaking business when all of a sudden came this huge ASS black dog out of no where, strolling right behind me and to top it all off, THE FREAKING DOG LAY ITSELF RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE BENCH THAT I SAT ON!! OMFG!! Like an electric bolt, I jumped out off my sit and stay as far as I could, away from it (can't remember whether I screamed or not coz I was too... urgggh... freaked out). I mean, I was basically too engross listening to my MP3 and therefore too unaware of anybody or anything that would eventually sneaked up on me. Maybe to some of you out there, I'm being over-reacting but the fact is, I have this 'thing' when I see them, dogs; I just freak out!! I mean really really really FREAK OUT... Like I said in my previous blog before, even the hubby makes fun of me for that... Got some pictures of the dog... Aku ni takot tu memang la takot... Tapi sempat pulak beranikan diri amek gambar anjeng tu from a distance... Dapat zoom pulak tu...
OK, enough of DOGS... Let's talk about WAR...
So I reached home feeling a bit exhausted... Gosh!! The afternoon heat was so unbearable I tell you... Rested on the couch for a while... Tuned in to Channel News Asia and the newscaster was delivering some news on the Olympic Games and then it hit me when she was talking about war between countries... I mean, hey!! Enough is enough!! Just like the song sang by Jimmy Hendrix - "....WAR!! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING..." Thousands of casualties, human corpses and animal carcasses... Don't they realise that all of these are lives? Come on!! Wake up!! God doesn't create this earth for us to hurt and kill each other!! He created this earth for us to live in peacefully among one another and to appreciate the resources that He had given upon us... We are not suppose to jeopardize one another!! That, to me, is entirely WRONG!! The Russia and Georgia crisis, the MILF (MORO ISLAMIC FEDERATION) and the Philippine Army crisis, Israel and Palestine crisis, plus, the Muslims and non-Muslims of Xinjiang Province in China. There are lots more but I think I've mentioned more than enough in my blog...
Haven't they had enough? Think about all the killings that they've done towards thousands and millions of lives for GOD's SAKE!! Imagine if one of the victims is their mother, father, wife, relatives or even their children!! How hurt and painful could that be? It just hurts me so to see many lives dying due to this War fare... Some tyrants just won't wake their brains up...
Here's a poem written on this 'War' issue...

Here's a poem written on this 'War' issue...
No more can I bear, this darn War fare...
How long must we tolerate?
How much longer must we, "descendants of Adam", tussle and hate?
Seeing these open hostilities between countries,
Forever, there will be never ending peace...
The elderly, women and children,
They are the victims, suffering these brought-upon burdens...
Have you any sympathy?
Yet you dare self-professed as the one with "perceptive mentality"
Corpses and carcasses, young and old,
These horrific scenes will repeatedly be featured and told...
You think WAR is the solution for you to show others that you're strong?
You people are undeniably wrong!
Never can you gain admiration for your so-called "ingenious action"
At the end of each day, there will still be those, opposing in retaliation

It was such a boring Monday... Basically, I was just procrastinating... Life in the office was such a BORE yesterday. 2 OFF days had turned me into a human mannequin... I was so very freaking bored to death... Seeing all those paper works, notes from my bosses and to top it all off, I've yet to submit my monthly reports to them... bleaurghhhh!! Calculations after calculations, reports after reports... Lily this, Lily that...Gosh!!
As usual, hubby fetched me from work... So instead of heading straight home, we went to Sembawang Park for a while where we sat by the beach, admiring Mother Nature's peace and tranquility... Hmmmmmm... So quiet and calm... Only the sounds of waves splashing and birds chirping...
Anyway, I'm so freaking happy that the renovation works downstairs is totally over!! Woo hoo!! No more drilling and hammering... I like what the contractors had done to our new showroom... Niceeeeeee and neat...
I've uploaded pictures of my friend, Yenn's 4 months old baby girl photos... OMG!! She is sooooo cute!! To Yenn: You'll gonna love me for this... Hee hee...

As planned, hubby, babies and I, we went to see the fireworks display on National Day. Met up with Auntie Mama Yang, her hubby and their youngest daughter, Yaya at Ba-ra-cu-da... From there, we walked towards the Ancient Civilisation Museum, situated right behind The Fullerton Hotel... Brought along our picnic mat and so we sat on the grass patch there, waiting for the start of the fireworks display... Gosh!! There were like dozens, hundreds and even thousands of people (I think) who were there eagerly anticipating the wonderful event...!! All getting ready with their digital cameras and video cams... Most of them were wearing red coloured t-shirts which symbolises one of the colours of the Singapore flag (red and white).
Fireworks display were FAN-TAS-TIC and LOUD!! Baby Asil had a little bit of a shock hearing to the 'BAM-BAMs' and the 'BOOM-BOOMs'... I mean, he was like hugging us and saying, "Tat... (baby talk for scared)" tapi mate diye tetap jugak tengok bunge api. Anyway, guess what was he wearing on National Day? lol. I got him to wear his 'Bumble Bee' costume!! He looked sooooo adorable in it!! All the passers-by who saw him in that yellow and black costume said that his cute and they were like snapping pictures of him... Baby Asyura was the brave one. She didn't even cried and wasn't even scared when the fireworks display started. In fact, she was fascinated seeing all those glittering lights shot up in the sky...
After that, we headed back to Ba-ra-cu-da where we waited for Cousin Lala (Mama Yang's daughter). To Lala - Tu la... Tengok fireworks dengan kite orang, tak nak... Nak tengok dengan kawan pulak... Skali kawan datang bawak her entire family along... lol... Kesian adek aku yang satu ni...
Lala arrived a short while later... The hubby and I, we started to feel HUNGRY already... So we decided to have our dinner at Changi Village Hawker Centre with the aunt and cousins... Uncle T couldn't tag along as he had to perform on stage... pfft... Membe keje ah beb... So tak bole ikot skali...
At Changi, the aunt and little cousin Yaya ate Kwe Teow Goreng Mamak, Lala ate Chicken Chop and the hubby ate Nasi Lemak (OMG!! It took him half and hour to get his food!! He really had the patience to stand in the freaking long queue!! I'm so not gonna have the patience to queue that long just for a plate of Nasi Lemak). As for me, I ate Kombi (consisted of a fish and a chicken chop) and also, Kacang Pool (too hungry la). Baba sempat pulak belikan Asil and Yaya bubbles.
So we got back to Ba-ra-cu-da after dinner where we met up with my brother Alep and Cousin Sufi. We stayed there till like 2 plus in the morning, until the Uncle's done with his performance and all and guess what... We went to EAT again after that!! But this time we went to Rubinah's Eating House situated along Sembawang Road... Ate and chit-chatted till 4 plus in the wee morning... Got home feeling shagged... It was such a wonderful outing.
Sunday was spent at Toa Payoh Central where we hang out at our usual place... Thought of going to my friend's BBQ Party and a family gathering with hubby's siblings but we're lack of time... A thousand apologies y'all we're really lack of time... Hubby spent nearly an entire day on his car... So yeah, maybe next time ya...

To Cousin Lala: There's a good news and a bad news... The good news is, you'll definitely get your birthday presentsssssss that consisted of BAGSSSSSSSS... The bad news is, shipment will be arriving 2 to 3 days after your birthday... So I guess you'll have to wait a little bit longer... Boo hoo!! Bole kan? Kan? Kan? Caaaaaaa-yang diye...
