Timmy from Oman

Oh! what a wonderful day it was yesterday, Wednesday, May 12, 2010. After so many years, Timmy, ex classmate during my confusing years of Form IVSCONE and VSCONE (read: Four Science One and Five Science One) in one of the glorious schools in the City of Crows (formerly known), came back for a miniscule break, alone and 5 months pregnant with the SIXTH one! huhu this means she will come second after Kak Yong who already has "magnificent seven" in her humble abode.

Catching up with each other at first at her parents' place, then the chatting session was carried on in Secret Recipe in the tiny weeny place or should I say TOWN of Banting?! Lovely day, too bad I had to make a move to Sg Buloh when the conversation got so very2 interesting. What about? Many topics were covered, from life in general to kids, to marriage, to future plans. Jokes she told managed to rock SR with our laughters, adding joy to the rather slow-moving service there (tongue in cheeck!)

Oh! ah! now I regretted it that we didn't take a single picture!

Knitting

My old stationery carrier, lying flat on my desk. Been using this for ages! day in, day out. Roll it down and there you have it! Stationery container!! Charming idea? Thank you! This was purely accidetal as I actually wanted it to be a clutch purse, but at that point in time, was too lazy to put zipper or magnetic closure, so, I attached a string and turned it into a drawstring pouch instead and oh so marvellously has been my stationery carrier since circa 2005? Really? THAT long? oops, me not sure! lost track.

As for this baby, I plan to make this to replace the old one, come new semester and the anticipation of the new curriculum, everything should be new, just as a means to forget the anxiety of juggling the new duty, which is still in a big question mark! Oh well... better to kill the time with something fruitfull... knit away momma. :P

Yahoo!

Alhamdulillah 3rd Sem is officially done and over with! This means I have time to finish the sewing of tudungs and any other needleworks which I so love to put my hands on. Oh dearie me! Got so much in mind, got so inspired by the crafters online with their darn creative works and yes, very presentable blogs as well! Some are funny in their own way, some use Malay, some use very good English (salute!), some try their best to write in English.

With Sem III, done, Sem 1 new Session 10/11 is very highly anticipated!? Yes? No? Many things will be changed with the reshuffling thing and all! Oh dear! oh dear!

Doesn't matterlah with all that! I'm gonna sit here and get my hands on the needles, long and short, blunt and sharp, sew and knit away.

This reminds me that my wardrobe of fabric for tudungs need to be spring cleaned and my basket of yarns need to be revisited... and oh ya! where to put the felt? Kunun2 nak bertukang felt pulak! terlalu ambitious!

I need a good cup of coffee that can keep me awake while knitting the pouches and whatever-nots!

HummHummHummm....

Penat day

Today is my "penat day". Woke up at 7am, kids were very2 very affected coz "The Mama" woke up late, thus they also were woken up very2 late.

When they just hit the bathroom, Makcik Yati the transporter (a very kind kind lady) were already in front of the house honking away... oh no!

Told Ju to tell her, Mama will send the boys. So, up up and away, mama washed her face and of course brushed her teeth as well, changed into something "presentable" other than the comfy caftan she was wearing.

Dashed into the car. Sent Aish first, lo and behold! the big gate was locked, the side gate was also locked. Insisted Aish to climbed up the side gate, while doing that, 4-5 more kids came, sent by their mama or papa... hehe, so, I was not the only one who woke up super late this lovely Monday mornin'! To my surprise, the big gate was not locked!

HAHA, so Aish didn't have to climb up the side gate... apalah mama ni!

Then, went grocery shopping at the nearby "bai" store.

While taking a me-time reading newspaper,

Little suddenly sobbing upstairs,

"Nak Mama! nak mama naik atas!"

Up up and away The Mama dashed into the bedroom,

"Kenapa sayang?"

"Ya mimpi mama tak nak peluk Ya!"

Huhuhu sedihnya!

In the midst of blog-surfing, the Mr Hubby called,

"My car broke down, can I please use your car?"

"Well, okay!"

So, up up and away again The Mama to the rescue!

Send car to Mr Hubby, who was waiting at a workshop in DU.

At 2pm, have to invigilate EPT (English Placement Test)paper.

and now,

I'm writing this away,

today is my "Super Penat Day"

But I'm Happy anyway,

Coz I can do the "up up and away"

Like what Superman likes to say!
