You gain some, you lose some

For the days that I have spent here, I think I have gained 3 kg. There's not much thing to do here. I can't really go out as Hilman will be so unhappy. I can't even go to the toilet without him crying. He hates everybody here, even the cleaner as he thinks that she is also a part of this conspiracy that will inject pain in him. So everytime when someone opens the door, he starts sobbing, and when they approach or say hello he wails.

So basically I have to take his temperature, give him his medicine, do the nebaliser, do the repercussion, is not that I mind but they disturb my sleep too.

I'm so bored here, I have no one to talk to, thank you 'blog' for keeping me company and allowing me to pour my feelings here. I'm so bored that I managed to interview almost all the trainees here. Hey do you know to learn nursing in Sime Darby for 3 years cost RM45,ooo? Gila mahal.

The reason I'm blogging now besides to kill the boredom, it helps me NOT to indulge in food, because I am so bored I ended nibbling as it gives me something to do. Yeah I know, pathetic!

Not only that as Hilman has lost his appetite due to his throat infection, I gobbled his food too, though not that yummy but why waste is my motto....again pathetic I know! This is what happened when you are cooped up in the four walls of the room with no adult to talk too. So lets see what have I ate for the past 2 days:-
a) 2 bars of chocolates (erkkkkkk...)
b) biscuits
c) cheese twisties
and all the 3 meals

I also realised the contractor workers here work until 9.00 pm everyday and there are just not many cleaners here. Last night, Hilman vomitted, so I requested for the room to be cleaned and moped and it was only done 4 hours later and... and.. Hilman physiotherapist this sweet young thing is a Penangite and getting married in June to a doctor here. This girl is so so gentle with kids. So good for her. And infact I would consider attending if it was done here. Ahak ahak I actually invited myself to her wedding. What a Loser!!!!

Sorry if I've wasted your time with my ramblings.

P/S- Can't believe I would actually say this, but 'I miss school, I miss the girls though I'm very sure the feeling is not mutual as they will go 'Yay no teacher today' but I do, just can't wait to get back to civilisation.

Recent update- Doctor just came in (imagine at 10.30 pm-takdak lifelah jadi doctor ni kan? yesterday was at 9.40 pm) and said 'Engku (aparaa doc tu bukan nama akulah...you're confirmed to go back tomorrow) yay! but you have to bring the child back again in 2 weeks time.

What Have We Done!

Gosh! 4 more weeks before the school holiday ends. Time sure flies fast when you are in the midst of having fun. So what have I been doing? Well the first weekend was more to family bonding time by lazying around, watching tv, napping and playing cards, tumbling towers and the sorts.

The week that follow, we planned to go back to Terengganu for the Raya Haji celebration, however, it wasn't finalized then as there was report of floods in the area, so I did not bother planning my packing. On Tuesday, I brought my mum and Aina to JCard Day. It was crazy as usual with too many people in the mall. As it was a school holiday, I was lucky to get a car park quite easily as we were there early. My mom planned to go there again the next day and I was happy to oblige....when suddenly...

My hubby came home at 7.00 pm at inform that we are going back to Terengganu the next day, our hopes to go shopping crushed and can you imagine how haywire things became to pack everything in such a short notice? My room looked like a capsized ship with clothes and other stuff thrown everywhere. Everything became chaotic as packing for a family of 7 is definitely a challenging task and doing it at a last minute is definitely not my cup of tea as it tends to jam up my brain with so many lists to think about milk, thermos, how many sets of pyjamas, daywear, undies, diapers, toiletries and etc etc. I could go bonkus!

The journey to Terengganu was quite pleasant although there was some rackets going on at the backseat but overall not too bad as the kids managed to nap throughout the journey. Although I loathe packing and long journey but I do not mind going back to Terengganu for a change of scenery. Not only that, the kids too get enough sunshine as they will be running around further than their usual house compound gate, chasing chicken, watching the grazing cows and feeding the horse, breathing the fresh air. On top of that I love going back to Terengganu because I have the opportunity to stock up cheap local made frozen food of sausage bread, roti canai, curry puffs, pau, popiah and not forgetting the keropok lekor, keropok kering and buying new designs and cheaper tudung there.

In Terengganu, the 'korban' is often done at the host house compound so my kids had the chance to witness the ritual done and even touch the cow before it being slaughtered. Besides celebrating Raya Haji, our days were filled with swimming session, shopping and enjoying the Ikan Celup Tepung (ICT) with my parents in law. Oh another reason why we like to go back is the fact that my mom-in-law is such a good cook and all of us truly love indulging in the food she has prepared. And the fact that my mother-in-law is such a true gem you can't help but just to love her. On Saturday we had a small birthday do for her and she was pleased and we were glad as we do not really get the chance to celebrate her birthdays that often.

On Sunday we embarked on our journey back to KL and it was hell! We spent 12 hours on the road and it was so tiring. We reached home at 12.00 am and we were all knackered. The next day everybody woke up late!!! The days that follow were the usual routine of the kids besides reading, revising and practising piano making lots of noise in the house and watching tv and yours truly going to school to do some unfinished school work.

Yesterday we decided to invest in Nintendo Wii so the children could play some active and interactive games and would bother us with their whinning less and it has been an answered prayer as they actually have not been bothering us as much. ahak ahak. But we had made some rules and regulations. Playing is only allowed after the reading, revising and piano practise are done and so far they have been abiding the rules.

Not only that hubby suggested Wii Fit too for me to exercise. So it's actually a sign for me to start moving that heavy butt of mine and do some exercises and I have no reason now for not doing it. Yikes! I am so in trouble now.

So life has been pretty quiet right now and I'm allowed more time to myself. Selfish, no?

N.B.- Thanks to Myra for giving us the idea on buying the Wii.

Things that I cannot stand and understand

I just cannot stand when a husband cannot speak nicely to the wife.
I just cannot stand when this other half refused to recognise the wife's sacrifices.
I cannot stand when the wife has to oversee to all the things especially the upbringing of the children when it is supposed to be both the parents job.
I cannot stand husband who does all the decision without consulting the wife before hand,
What I cannot stand the most is, when things go wrong, the wife gets the blame.

I just don't understand when some husbands often look down at their wives.
I just don't understand some husbands who want the wives to cover but ogling other women with short skirts and low cut dresses.
I just don't get it husbands who can go out with his female counterparts but do not allow the wives to even befriended a guy.
I just don't get it husbands who refuse to listen to his wives when most of the times the wives are actually right and the things told are actually for their own good.
I just don't get it husbands who hug his wives with only one thing in his mind.

I'm furious at husbands who act pious but watch pornography during his free time.
I'm furious at husbands who dare lay their hands on their wives.
I'm furious at husbands who dare ask money earned by the wives without feeling guilty.
I'm furious at husbands who believe they do not have to appologize to the wives even though it is blatantly obvious that they are wrong.
I'm extremely furious at husbands who do not play their part as the head of the family.

Whatever it is, I'll still keep mine. So this post has nothing to do with him ( if you wonder). Fine. I lied. Well there's actually 2% of him in this post. But he's a keeper and I intend to keep him forever.

P/S- Abang if you're reading this, you know which part you are, kan? Can you change just a
little bit for me? Thank you and I love you, ahak ahak.

Ok . Wow! That was random.

Sorry if I have wasted your time reading the post, but this post is an observation of mine of things happening around me.

Hey Newbie!

Training period means you are in a learning process to prepare you for the career that you have chosen to be in. Training also means you are to adopt the culture of the workplace you are in and make the best of it without losing the real you in the process. Training- is also a place for you to observe and learn as much as you can from the seniors and get help if you need too.

In your training process you also need to have respect for your mentor and others in the workforce you are in. During your training session, you have to make a lot of sacrifices and adjustment too, you cannot really choose as nobody in this environment are really given the choice. Although you are young and may have great ideas but you must willing to admit that you are a newbie and still need help from the people who have been in this area way before you were even born as they are the expert and they know the clients more than you do. The seniors are here to help you, we really really want to help that is why you are here, but we can't do so if you are avoiding us and do not want our help when in actual fact you are actually drowning. We can see it and your client see it too.

So please make good use of your training period and count your blessing to be in the environment that you are in now as this is a far cry from reality. If you think you are not cut out for this job, it's too late now, so just make the best of it rather than wasting other people's effort and time.

So stop from being a bodoh sombong.
