Hari Raya for Bibik Part VI



Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V


Salam sejahtera dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada pembaca semua....

Iya, Bibik kembali lagi untuk menceritakan sambutan Hari Raya Bibik pada tahun ini. Bibik tidak terlupa untuk mencoretkan kisah Bibik pada tahun ini, walaupun Bibik sudah menjadi "Mrs. Bibik". Bibik mintak maaf diatas kelewatan coretan ini karna terlalu banyak benda yang harus Bibik selesaikan sebelum Bibik dapat betul-betul concentrate untuk menulis di belog ini.

Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, Bibik beraya di rumah Ibuk sekeluarga pada tahun ini. Bibik telah berjaya memujuk suami Bibik untuk beraya di TTDI dahulu. Jadi kami berdua bermalam dirumah Ibuk bagi menolong Ibuk, Cik Puan dan BiJu dengan persiapan terakhir Raya.

Pada malam Raya itu, kami sekeluarga sibuk didapur! Potong lemang, perap ayam, potong sayur-sayuran untuk dibuat lodeh, dan banyak lagi. Sungguh ribut Bibik dibuatnya. Tetapi kami tetap bersuka-ria, usik mengusik antara satu sama lain. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan kami begitu setiap tahun. Yang jadi magsa iyalah BiJu.. :)

Pagi Raya kami semua ke masjid untuk menunaikan Solat Sunat Aidilfitri. Waduh... ramai bener umat di kampung Bibik yang keluar bersembahyang. Sehinggakan Bibik terpaksa sembahyang diluar majid, diatas lantai marmar yang sejuk bangat. Nasib baik kuthubah nya tidak panjang pada tahun ini. Mungkin tok imamnya, seperti Bibik, juga terbayang-banyang nasi impit dah kuah kacang yang sedang menunggu di rumah.

Tahun ini Bibik telah jalankan 'double duty' dimana Bibik berkhidmat bukan sahaja di rumah Ibuk, tetapi juga di rumah mertua Bibik pada hari yang sama. Alangkah terkejutnya Bibik pabila Bibik lihat rumah mertua Bibik penuh dengan tetamu ketika Bibik sampai ke Hulu Langat. Terus padam harapan Bibik untuk sama-sama pergi beraya dengan keluarga Bibik yang lain ke rumah sedara kami di Sepang. Dengan automatiknya Bibik terus kedapur dan menyapai sepan untuk membasuh pinggan-pinggan yang sudah menimbun banyak nya... Gawat Bibik... Gawat...

Tetamu yang hadir tidak putus-putus sehingga ke malam hari!

Pada tahun ini juga Bibik telah diajar oleh ibu mertua Bibik masakan-masakan kegemaran suami Bibik. Hendak tak hendak, terpaksa Bibik akur, duduk di dapur dan belajar. Jika tidak nanti susah... Gawat....

Kedengaran juga suara-suara sumbang yang menanyakan jika perut Bibik ini buncit karna berisi ataupun buncit karna banyak makan. Waduh waduh... Rimas betul Bibik pabila pertanyaan sedemikian diajukan kepada Bibik berulang kali... Mau saja Bibik sumbat mulut mereka dengan lemang sebuluh... Gawat Bibik... Gawat...

Pada dasarnya hari raya pada tahun ini sungguh meriah sekali bagi Bibik. Walaupun gawat sentiasa, tetapi Bibik rasakan ianya sungguh bermakna sekali. Terutama sekali inilah pertama kali Bibik beraya sebagai seorang isteri. Keperluan suami semua berjaya Bibik jaga dan penuhi. Tambahan lagi, keluarga baru Bibik telah menerima Bibik seadanya dan sangat baik terhadap Bibik. Alhamdulillah.....

Diharap teman sekalian juga telah menempuhi hari raya pada tahun ini dengan baik. Jika ada cerita menarik, ceritakan lah kepada Bibik. Bibik ini memang gemar mendengar cerita, terutama sekali gossip-gossip yang hangat....

Jika kelapangan, sila laa berkunjung ke teratak Bibik yang baru.

Hingga ketemu lagi di hari lebaran yang lain... Daaa.....

Baby talk...



I always hear women exchanging stories about their kids. However, I recently had the chance to be included in a conversation between 3 men that were exchanging facts about their kids.

Guy 1: Anak aku minum susu yang ada DHA aje. Susu lain semua tak bley jalan...

Guy 2: Anak aku pun sama. Mahal tuh susu dia..
.
Guy 3: Anak aku jugak best. Mula2 kita orang bagi susu mahal, then tukar susu murah sikit, then susu murah lagi, and now minum je susu yang murah. Takde hal langsung. Bagi laa DHA ke BHA ke AAA ke... semua dia telan.

Guy 1: Untung la kau. Bini aku siap hunt for warehouse sale for susu. If skali pegi, borong berdozen tin susu. Maklum laa anak 3 orang.

Guy 2: Itu laa pasal. Kalau murah tuh murah sangat. Tapi wife aku notice that susu dekat kedai2 ubat Cina lagi murah dari dekat Gi@ant or T3sc0 tau.

Guy 3: Haaa.. dengar tuh Binx. Take note.. Nanti dah ada anak senang.

And they went on and on and on discussing the issue of diapers, baby formulas and toys for almost an hour. Mind you, the conversation took place at my cubicle where 2 of them were actually standing by the partition wall. Giler asyik bercakap pasal anak.

Seriously, I've never heard guys talk about kids and etc. for that long before. Certainly not with all the details bout the price of milk and diapers...

Gosh....




binx: do not speculate... :p

Rest In Peace....



I have received an sms frm Mom yesterday afternoon that read,

"Innalilahwainailahirajiun. Hisham, anak Ayah Mat, meninggal dunia di Libya. Accident"

I was stunt and felt a sudden rush of emotion running through my veins.

I personally don't know Hisham that well as we are distant cousins and because he had always been away studying. However, his parents are really close to my mother (even though the blood ties comes from my dad's side of the family). They were there when mom was going through some rough times with the divorce and all. They were there when we needed help any time of the day.

And to prove that it is indeed a small world after all, hisham married my senior from school. I was really shocked when I saw my senior sitting in my living room next to Abang Hisham when he came over to introduce his new bride to the family. Memang terkejut beruk.

My thought goes out to his wife, who just gave birth to their 2nd child last June. She was back in Malaysia when the accident happened (Abang Hisham worked as a PTD officer based in Libya). I can only imagine her sorrow of losing a husband at this stage of her life. Besar sungguh dugaan dia kali ini.

Rest in peace, Abang Hisham. Semoga Allah mencucuri Rahmat keatas roh-Nya.

Al-Fatihah.

I HATE Mondays...



I really dreaded myself to get to work this morning. I even contemplated taking an MC for the day, but had decided against it as I still have things pending on my table at the office.

So, dengan berat hati nya I drove to work and vowed to lay low the whole day.

Unfortunately, my plan was hijacked when an email came in at 10:17 a.m... It was from my boss. She had instructed (not asked) for all her 3 managers to be included in the guest list for the Buka Puasa Event with our VVIP client this evening.

What the f&%# laaa kan......

They had planned out the event since last week and had sent the invitation out last friday (note: our names were not on the guest list then). It was very convinient of her to instruct us to attend the event only this morning!

I seriously won't mind attending the event should I have received the instruction in advance. At least then I could have planned out how Mr Judge's going to buka puasa today. Now, the poor guy is still asleep, after finishing his last shift for the week at 7:00 a.m. this morning and might be thinking that his wife will be coming back later to plan out what to have for buka puasa.

And the worst part of it all is that I have to stay back for an extra 2 1/2 hours today until it's time to go to the event venue when all I can think of now is the warm comfy bed at home!!!



I HATE Mondays.....
