A Homemaker’s Diary

Sedar tak sedar dah dekat 20 hari dah berpuasa, this weekend n next weekend kiranya last weekend nak buat persiapan…kuih raya dah berjaya buat 4 jenis, tu pon kdg2 mlm weekdays pon gagahkan jugak bakar kuih, dpt la sebalang dua..balang kuih kecik je la…by 11pm je off semua oven, simpan adunan sambung bakar mlm2 seterusnya…kalau nak ikutkan penat, mmg la..sebab kalau beli, hulur duit je terus dpt kuih raya…tak yah nak sepah2 rumah, tepung berserakan atas meja, ngan alat penimbang semua..cewahh…tapi kepuasan buat kuih sendiri tu tak sama la kan…walaupun bentuk semua bulat2 leper, tapi rasa kuih2 sekalian tu boleh di adjust ikut suka hati kita, nak byk nestum, nak tempek almond 2-3 bijik, heheheh…

Well, another good news dah dpt berita bout my MBA application, tahniah puan di terima masuk utk pengajian sepenuh masa, the big qs now is nak berenti keje ke tak, tapi apa2 mmg dah puas hati pun sebab dah sah layak nak buat MBA, jawapan terima atau tak tawaran tu kena bagi by 14 Nov, so in a way balik raya ni still boleh pikir lagi, nak terima ke, or nak terus bekerja…tak pe la…kena bincang n timbang dr berbagai segi, financial stability semua, mentality pon kena sediakan, mampu ke nak jadi student balik, nak buat assignment, attend class semua ni…ngan exam lagi…

Bila pikir part tu mmg rasa serik nak jadi student balik, kalau tak pon ada option lain, apply MBA kat MMU ke…hehehe MMU lagi…Degree MMU, MBA pon nak amik kat MMU jugak…tapi itu option yg paling baik la..dekat dgn rumah, familiar surrounding, boleh apply part time on weekend basis…

Hidup ni byk pilihan kan, kdg2 kita tak tau yg jalan yg dipilih tu, itu ke yg terbaik, pendek akal sekali pikir rasa dah cukup jitu pilihan kita tu, tapi masa akan datang, cuma Tuhan yang tau…

Few things that I have achieved this month:

1. My business has been succesfully registered. Now I’m in the process to do the company stamp, business card and to open current account for the company.

2. I have downloaded the full Season 2 of Enterprise since I always missed watching the series on Astro every Saturday nite.

3. I downloaded the new season 6 of Gilmore Girls. I wonder whether Rory should continue her relationship with Logan, the rich boy who seems to be too carefree and not that matured in life.

4. As the result of mass downloading, my HD is full and I am so lazy to burn everything into CD. Maybe later I will buy DVD burner so that I won’t waste too much time doing housekeeping of my HD content.

5. Today I decided to do kuih raya. My very first choice is Biskut Cornflakes, which I’m not sure will turn out the way it should be. The dough is still in the fridge. Maybe I will bake the cookies after buka puasa, while watching Harry Porter and the Prisoner of Azkaban at Astro 9pm.

6. My heliconia decided to bloom after months of me taking care of them plus all the coaxing. It’s the usual orange heliconia.

Esok Jumaat, akhirnya…eventhough masa tu kdg2 mcm tak bergerak je bila kat ofis, esp. time2 before lunch tu, towards the end of working hours tu pon mcm tu jugak..tgk jam kul 3:50, buat keje, tgk jam lagi…aittt..baru 7 minit time passed by..apa ni? jam tak jalan ke..hehehhe..

Well dah melalut dah ni, sejak masuk bulan ramadhan ni, otak pon lemah je, kat ofis tu bertenaga lagi, tapi bila dah balik rumah, bukak puasa je letihnya la hai..nak basuh pinggan pon tak terdaya…tapi tak pe, MQ tido mlm awal dr selalu, n pagi since tak yah nak breakfast, sempat la kemas meja makan, buang sampah n basuh pinggan dlm sinki before pegi keje…sekarang pon musim hujan…so lega la sikit tak yah terkocoh2 nak siram pokok after work…emmm..nak rehat dulu la…mlm Khamis pon bukan ada citer best kat Astro..bila ek nak pegi terawih..niat di hati tu mmg nak buat amalan lebih ramadhan ni, tapi kdg tu bila dah balik keje, dah tak terdaya rasanya…niat dah ada, kena la berazam dan berusaha pulak…kan.. 🙂 Insyaallah
