Convo through my lense.......

Last Saturday was my convocation day. It was my first sebab masa undergrad hamba tengah dalam pantang 2 minggu dan my son was admitted due to prolonged jaundice. Hubby pegi jugak amik jubah and kami bergambar kat studio jek....Khalish (my 1st son) was so small at that time....nak posing pun susah.

Dah namapun 1st time nak convo...excited sungguh ler. Bukan main hajat nak jahit baju sendiri.....konon nak pakai kebaya nyonya tp target nak turun berat badan tak kesampaian......babai lar. Lagi seminggu nak convo baru start potong kain.....pastu nak memanik plak lagi.



Baju siap....



Hari Selasa masa kat opis badan rasa sejuk2 n tekak sakit + batuk2. Malam tu lelah start......abih lar....tak siap ler baju convo hamba. Pagi Rabu pg amik nebulizer kat klinik dapat MC 2 hari....so in the morning hamba tido sampai Zohor....in the afternoon, despite being groggy.....hamba hadap jugak mesin jahit tu n manage to siapkan baju....the next day jahit kain pulak. Punya ler siksa nak menyembat coz tangan ketar2 due to  side effect of salbutamol (ubat lelah). Alhamdulillah.......puas hati dapat jahit baju sendiri for my convo......

Khamis siap jahit baju, Jumaat pegi raptai.......and sangat bernasib baik sebab pergi.....dan sangat bernasib baik sebab my friends pergi check on our electronic card. UKM secretariat got our course speciality wrong.....abih semua diletak Sarjana Patologi Anatomik. Kecik hati ler kami2 yang belajar Patologi yang lain2 ni.....pastu bila kami komplen....they dare to suggest nak buang jer nama speciality and ask us to settle with our name with Sarjana Patologi jer. Sound like small matter but to those yg dah berhempas pulas study 4 tahun in respective specialities.....that less than 1 minute moment when they display our name is really a big thing......at least for me (dan Dr. Yuslina) pasal kami berdua hampir menjadi raksasa gorgon pada waktu itu. Disebabkan kami yg ada kat situ kenal and hafal speciality masing2....semuanya berjaya diperbetulkan......



Kakak-kakak pegi raptai konvo



Saturday morning bangun pukul 5.30 pagi......excited nak bersiap, hari ni kena conteng muka sket lar kan....biasa pg keja pucat lesi pun hamba don't care. Tentative program suruh berkumpul before 7.30 am but what do you expect.....7.30 am tu baru nak sampai pintu pagar UKM, 8.30 am pun blum masuk dewan lagi....takpe ler.....sekali seumur hidup jer kot....unless hamba gatai nak pg jd lecturer then convo ni macam amalan tahunan ler.....mak aiii....jenuh....



........membayangkan perasaan mereka duduk atas pentas lama2....tak bosan ker???



sesak nafas sebenornyer menunggu lama-lama........



Hiburan selingan......best suara budak nih.....



I'm next.....

yeahhh......dah dapat......



Fuhhhh......lamanya kena duduk dalam dewan baru boleh kuar. Pintu2 keliling dewan semua berkunci siap berantai bagai....nasib boleh kuar pergi toilet. Perut dah keroncong habih dah....jam 1 tengahari majlis tak abih lagi......nasib lar dalam kepala dah tau lepas ni Dr. Nordashima nak belanja lunch kat rumah dia......

Keluar dari dewan En Suami dah tunggu dengan jambangan bunga kesukaan hamba.......oh...sukanya....

Lepas kuar dewan mesti lar nak posing2.....tapi punya lar ramai orang sampai xleh dapat background kosong.....tibai jer lar.....

The above picture shows the faces dearest to me. They are my greatest support system. My sister in law and her family members literally had never say never to any favor asked. I have been outsourcing my sons to them from time to time sejak dari houseman sampai ler kehari konvo....heheheh. A great....great thanks to them.....



Kak Long Raihana.......



Raihana is my husband's niece.........a.k.a my photographer for today. Gambar2 dalam posting ni majority dia yang ambil.....macih Kak Long yer.....kesian pegang camera and lense berat2. Next year we will attend her convocation.......Master in Engineering tuh...!!!! Jgn ambik PhD tau.....nanti Mak Su kalah......(ader ker camtu...hehehehe)



My dearest En. Suami......thank you for your love and support.....




My backbones...........my strength.......my love.......



Unfortunately, my parents cannot join us due to health problem........it would be more joyful if theye're around........

Thank you to my sifoo.........Dr. Mohd Shah Mahmood to be kind enough pinjamkan super power lense and last minute tunjuk ajar camana nak amik gambor.....

Wihaaaa........dah abih convo!!!!!!!!

A friendship out of nowhere....

Last Saturday I drove myself to Butik Madain at Seksyen 7, Shah Alam for a small gathering. Shah Alam from my place bagi hamba dah kira jauh....(hehehe....46 km jer pun). Sepanjang jalan otak dok pikir2...."what the heck am I doing??"...."kenapa lar aku buat keputusan nak drive tengahari terik ni?" namun dalam hati kuat nak pg jugak. Well.....sungguh tak menyesal...siap rasa tak cukup masa lagi!!

Dalam perjalanan balik otak dok pikir2 lagi....how amazing when 1 common interest can gather a bunch of people yg sebelum ni tak pernah kenal, ada yg baru 1st time jumpa yet can spent time together, had a great time, laugh and chat sampai lupa masa berlalu. Hamba pulak langsung tidak sangka akan terjebak sama sebab all this while my circle of friend is mainly professional colleagues or ex-college/schoolmates. This friendship comes out of nowhere.....built within the virtual world and translated into something so wonderful (at least to me)....and...when we put up a bunch of wonderful people together with their great heart and mind......lots of good things will comes out....

Back to school...!!!!

Cuti sekolah ended last Sunday. This week anak-anak are back to school......monyok jer muka masing-masing. Ada berbelas tahun lagi nak lalui perkara yang sama wahai anak-anakku. Ada berbelas tahun lagi nak kena bangun dari tido and get ready for class. Balik dari kelas nak kena pikir homeworks and assingments. By end of term or semester kena pulun nak exam.....fuuuhhh....

I started school at 5 years old...age 18 pegi pre-med then to med school. Masa tengah final exam med school siap berjanji ngan diri sendiri tak nak dah pegi belajar, xmau amik exam dah....serik. 5 years after graduated I broke my promise and entered  post-graduate study n last month I just graduated.....serik jugak lagi tapi xbuat janji palsu dah coz we never know......dalam hati cam ada pasang angan-angan nak amik course lain plak......hehehehe...(kiasu extravaganza)...

Learning process sebenarnya never ended. Pelajaran rasmi mungkin dah stop tapi banyak lagi menda dalam dunia ni nak kena teroka. As for me.....last week anak-anak masuk sekolah, hamba pun start sekolah juga. Kali ni sepenuh ikhlas hati nak pegi sekolah and looking forward for this week classes. Paling best.....xde exam.....syiokkkknyerrr....!!!!!

Beg skolah baru......(xsabor nak tayang kat classmates...hehehe)

Hamba pegi kelas menjahit yer tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian.....!!!!! Harap lepas ni boleh jahit baju seluar anak-anak terunaku dan ayah teruna jugak.....

School table.....besar punya...

"New life" begins......

Alhamdulillah......kami bertiga telah lulus exam. Telah berjaya mengharungi 4 tahun pengajian Master of Pathology (Forensic).....walaupun pada hakikatnya hamba rasa macam tak cukup mengaji sangat lagi. Bila dah abih rasa macam kejap jer 4 tahun tu....

Stress sungguh lar during exam hari tu....Allah jer yg tahu.....(well.........that's not entirely true pasal every morning yang ada exam paper hamba muntah2 macam mabuk mengandung). Thanks to Prof. Faridah pasal gosok2 blakang hamba....

Now dah kena start pre-gazzetment posting plak. Lepas tu apa??? Jadi specialist???? Tetiba naik goose bump. Sesekali bersedia lar nak kena bambu ngan public, lawyer, politician.....etc....etc. Keja ni nampak cam glemer....sound macam seronok (in fact it is) tapi akan ada pihak yg tak puas hati despite the good flawless work because being impartial, telus or whatever the synonyms are, is not something that most people 'really' want. People want to hear what they want to hear....they want things to suit their need. 

Maka dengan itu bersedialah menghadapi hidup baru......cabaran baru wahai diriku dan kawan-kawan ku. Kalau nak nama harum wangi, dapat thank you notes, flowers and cupcakes we should jadi surgeon ker, cardiologist ker, pediatrician ker.....hehehehe.....Tapi inilah kita, kena tengok yang buruk-buruk, kena cium yang busuk-busuk, kena dengar yang nista-nista.......  


Buat kerja dengan ikhlas dan telus.....Allah Maha Mengetahui.....dan Dia seadil-adil hakim......

'Membesar' bersama.....

YEEEEEHAAAAA........DAH ABIH EXAM!!!!!!!

Exam hamba sudah tamat yer tuan-tuan dan puan-puan......result kuor next Monday

Time to kemas blog yang dah penuh sawang....lalang sudah memanjang, lipas tikus semua ada dah. 

Masanya juga untuk start buat semua kerja yang dah tertangguh termasuk siapkan PM report (this is priority....boss...if u read this & later find me out of tract....please just spank me) dan siapkan order yang telah dijanjikan.....plus open new order InsyaAllah...

It is the time to execute certain plan like pergi belajar menjahit baju & follow up plan on "Pillow case for charity".....apalagi yer....???

Oh ya.....it is the time to put more attention on the boys n bapak boys n nenek boys n atuk boys.

Ya Allah.....guide me to the right path....

Ameen.

 

I need some feminine touch.....

Widad.....

 I have 3 siblings, 2 girls and a boy......(of course lar now tak panggil girls and boy pasal dah besar panjang). When he was a toddler, my little brother suka pakai my sister's gown sampai jiran2 ingat he is a girl and ada jugak yang risau-risau takut dia jadi feminine sket. Well, it doesn't work that way since me and my sister lebih cenderung ke arah masculine. Tak tau lar pengaruh datang dari mana.....mungkin sebab cousins yang sebaya mostly are boys. Diorang lar yang bawak masuk semak, panjat pokok, main sumpit, ....eerrrrr rosakkan sawah padi orang......hehehehehe.....

I was never really a tomboy or pengkid.....hamba cuma suka dressing macam lelaki, cakap and bejalan agak macam jantan. Nasib pakai tudung.....takde lar nampak cam jantan sangat. Dulu masa zaman sekolah rendah, arwah Aki (grandfather) siap belikan kain batik suruh pakai masa balik kampung....rimas dia tengok hamba pakai seluar (pendek lak tu)....tu tak campur dengan rimas mata dia tengok hamba duduk atas pokok. I still remember when I was 12, during school holiday (after balik dari kampung) my Mom asked me to write an essay tajuk "Kenapa saya nak jadi lelaki".....bila pikir2 balik.....entah2 dia bengang pasal kena sound ngan arwah Aki........MINTAK AMPUN MAK!!!!

Hamba dressing ala2 jantan ni sampai kat Pre-Med rasanya. Dulu pegi kuliah pakai baju kurung (wajib pakai) ngan boot Dr. Martens tu.....(dulu rasa cool, skang rasa bodoh...). Taste kejantanan hamba ni termasuk sekali dengan my choice of music.....apa yang most boys listen to, itulah kesukaan hamba.... Bila dah nak masuk Med School, taste ni dah tone down sebab minat kepada menda2 boyish ni dah bertukar kepada minat kepada the boys themselves......hahahahaha....hormon tengah naik tu!!!!! (nasib en.Hubby minat minah rock...hehehehe) Masa ni dah start pakai skirt, pakai handbag, pakai high heels.....pakai make-up....

But still saki-baki taste jantan tu masih ada.....

Hamba dari dulu allergic tengok kaler pink and purple. My colors are blue, black, grey, green.....dan seumpama dengannya. Masa pregnant anak sulong pun dah bertekad, kalau anak pompuan pun hamba tak akan beli kaler pink. Now anak dah 3, semua jantan.....baru terasa teringin nak beli baju budak pompuan comel2....floral kaler pink.....waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! 

Taste ala jantan ni boleh dilihat kat rumah, dalam kereta, bilik kat opis....etc. Langsir kat rumah hamba kalau tak plain, coraknyer mostly geometrik.....bunga2, renda2.....tak suka. Pinggan mangkuk kalau yang ada bunga2 tu semua peninggalan arwah mother in law....yang beli sendiri semuanya modern contemporary. Kereta hamba takde sebarang bunga ker or pewangi bereben-reben ker....(rasanya yang ni mungkin sebab en.Hubby kot). Kalau tengok meja opis female colleague yang lain.....adoi, memang meja hamba takde feminine touch langsung......

Sejak gila menjahit ni baru hamba sedar, my selection of fabric pattern pun kebanyakannya dipengaruhi taste yang tak cukup feminine. Secara naturalnya hamba akan pilih dark colors, geometric pattern or kalau bright color mesti pilih plain. Bila ada yang mintak color pink baru beli....itupun susah hamba nak buat pilihan........memang cantik tapi tak berkenan di hati. Tengok orang lain punya craft pun kebanyakannya semua comel2.....hamba nak buat comel2 n flower2 pun anak semua boys....sendiri nak pakai....????......eeerrrrrr........I have to be more feminine....

So hamba dah bertekad.....raya tahun depan nak tukar langsir semua corak bunga2....kalau boleh kaler purple or red ker.....(masih belum bersedia untuk pink....). Nak beli bunga2 hias rumah.....bunga yang more feminine, bukan bunga matahari lagi dah....

Ehmmmmm....apa lagi nak tambah supaya jadi lebih feminine...????? ......Mungkinkah.....ANAK PEREMPUAN????.......errrkkkkkk......

.....my other passion........

I love cooking and baking and most of the end product goes to my mouth and get stored underneath my skin. Since Ramadhan I did a lot of cooking and baking......maklumlah takde maid masa tu. Lepas tu sibuk dok bake kuih raya and few orders of cakes and muffins. After raya my niece from Johor came to fully utilize my kitchen to test her recipe.....sronok jer tengok dia enjoying her semester.....(too late to change course la pulak kan...)

Since there were too many cooking sessions for the past 2 months.......(and my waist line are getting wider) hamba outsource kerja masak-memasak to bibik since masakan dia boleh diterima akal dan tekak. Now it is the time to play with my other toy.....

Dah lama janji nak buatkan Khalish pencil case since dia dah hilangkan pencil case kat sekolah. School really is a twilight zone where things can easily and mysteriously disappear.....without a trace....

So inilah hasilnya.....(Khalish chose the design)
