Mak tak cehat. Sobs.

I've been sick since last week. Coughing with mild fever. Sore throat and body fatigue. Been to the clinic twice. And had been recovering after taking the antibiotic. And the major thing is: I've been feeling gassy and bloated non stop!

Makan dah makan. Kenyang dah kenyang. Tapi bahu lenguh-lenguh minta di urut. Lepas urut baru lega dapat sedawa. Masalahnya sampai bila nak kena urut ni sebab angin tak berhenti-henti *cry*

Laki pulak cepat penat bila mintak tolong urut. Nak beli kerusi urut taktau bila. Bila badan sakit, nak tido pun tak tenang asek nak minta urut dan sedawa. Bila susah tido, kepala sakit. Bila kepala sakit, dah tak boleh nak pikir dan buat keputusan dengan baik. Semua benda kat rumah tu pulak semua ibu jugak yang nak kena pikir. Bila ibu naik suara sebab sakit kepala kena pikir benda simple, ibu jugak yang kena marah balik. 

Ini baru nak masuk 40 tau, udah tak larat deme nak layan sakit penat kita. Ibu cedey. *sobs* 

So, nak taknak, kena chin up. And remind myself that I am responsible for my own self. I am responsible for my own health. My own body. My own happiness. 

I need to be more serious in taking care of myself. Sebab memang at the end of the day, we only have ourselves to blame kalau diri sendiri tak sehat.

I knew that. But at times I still make bad choices. For I am only human. And as human, I am bound to make mistakes.

But as a human who is already reaching her 40s, I need to know my boundaries. Yes, money is important. But taking care of myself must be made a priority.

Karang Allah tarik nikmat sehat baru ang tau! Nauzubillah!

Sarah dah masuk asrama gais 😂

Bukan M*RSM. Bukan S*BP. Bukan T*aayah. Bukan T*ahfiz.
Tapi S*ABK. And not so far from home alhamdulillah...

Was a bit sad, for sure. Not getting into all those listed schools. But I'm also glad.

Sebab sedih rupanya bila kakak Sarah dah masuk asrama. 
Macam hilang seri rumah tu. Tak cukup seorang.

She called the 2nd day, sobbing.
"Kakak Sarah nak masuk sekolah harian ke?"
"Nak... tapi tak boleh. Kena cuba dulu. Takde pilihan sekolah harian yang bagus..."

Kasihan dia...
Nak masuk asrama sebab nak fokus belajar, tapi nak duduk dekat dengan keluarga jugak...

Inilah namanya jihad, kakak Sarah.

Jauh dari keluarga, demi untuk mendapatkan ilmu.
Merasa susah dan tidak selesa, demi mempersiapkan diri menempuh masa depan yang lagi hebat cabarannya... 

---

Dia ni dah biasa ke mana-mana berdua dengan adik dia, Hannan.
Dan ini kali pertama dia tak masuk sekolah yang sama dengan Hannan.

Maka bersedialah kakak Sarah, untuk kembali melayan kerenah Hannan yang insyaallah akan masuk jugak ke sekolah yang sama dengan awak tahun hadapan hahahahaha

---

At home, Hannan automatically steps up, taking over kakak Sarah punya chores. 

Punyalah ringan tulang, semacam tak percaya begitu sekali effectnya bila kakak dia takde hahahahahahahahaha

---

Tahun depan, kalau berejeki Hannan pun masuk asrama, tinggallah ibu abah dan Umar bertiga di rumah.

Oh. Lamanya nak tunggu giliran Umar pulak masuk asrama. Lambat lagi laa nak merasa dating berdua saja dengan bapak depa hahahahahahaha

13.

My eldest is now 13.

No longer a baby. Already a pre-teen.

I love you still, baby.

You taught me how to be patient. How to grow mature. How to live better.

Most importantly, you love me. 

Thank you for being such a wonderful daughter. Always nice. Always kind.

Ibu doakan Sarah dapat semua yang Sarah impikan, semua yang Sarah mahukan. Dan semuanya yang terbaik untuk Ummu Sarah yang ibu sayang.

Belum masuk asrama, but I miss you already. Sobs.

More him than me…

Issa hurt. 
When you punch me. Kicked me. Throw me out of the bed.

Issa hurt. 
When you avoid me. Not looking at me. Ignoring me. 

It does not hurt on the outside. Nothing on the skin. No scar on my head. 

But it hurts deeply inside. 
In my heart. In my mind. 

I know you didn’t mean it. I know you mean well. 
But it stills hurt. Inside. 

I miss you, baby. 
Please love me as well…

Driving to Pagoh

Dah lama tak mandiri. 
Tapi mata ni, tetap nampak dia di mana-mana.
Tetap ingat dia. Tetap terkenangkan dia.
Tak boleh laa jauh lama-lama 🙈

Tapi kalau tak koje, takde gaji.
Kalau takde gaji, acane nk belanje?

Dan kalau tak boleh nak belanje, acane nak pegi bercuti??

So, bangkit juge le kome...
Bangun pegi koje...
Sebab kalau tak keroje, 
Ape pun tak boleh jadi.

*sigh*

Dilema Seorang Emak

Bila di pejabat, rindu si anak.
Tapi, sekembalinya di rumah, sibuk kelebet hal rumah pula.

Bila anak tak sihat, hati risau tidur tak tenang.
Tapi di hantarnya juga ke sekolah.
Alasan: tak boleh cuti, banyak kerja di pejabat.

Jadinya, pentingkan anak atau kerja?

Tak kerja, tak cukup belanja.
Bila kerja, tak cukup masa bersama.

Tapi bukan ke rezeki Tuhan yang bagi?
Haa tepuk!

Rindu

Rindu. 
Bila jauh rindu, 
Depan mata pun rindu. 

Bila je tak rindu? 
Bila marah. 

Bila je tak marah?
I honestly have no answer to that.

Woke up late this morning. Was in a rush for everything - prepping breakfast, packing Umar's bag, showering etc

Then I heard laughing from the kitchen. Opened the door to see the husband chatting with girls about 'international culture' while having breakfast together. 

It warmed my heart. The view. Their laughs. 

Terima kasih, ya Allah. For this lovely gift.

I just created an account in L*inkedln.

And suddenly had the urge to search this one uni friend of mine. The amazing Emma. 

And after all these time, she is still amazing. Even more! So proud of her. 

I still didn't know what happened between me and her. Tetibe kena unfriend. I typed a long message to her, still. No reply.

Obviously, I did not moved on. Hence the stalking LOL

*    *    *    *    *

I actually envy her. Still. And a lot others. 

How they became a better version of themselves. Professionally. Could that have been me?

Can I still get this family that I have now, if I were to pursue the so-called career of mine?

*    *    *    *    *    

No one can predict the future. One can only plan.

February 9, 2021

At the KD, after almost 6 months missing Umar's appointments.

 "Wahhh... ke sana ke sini puan ye mengisahkan appointment anak ye?"

Come to think about it, yes. 

My calendar is filled with Umar's follow-up with the paeds, OT treatments and speech classes...

Alhamdulillah, his focus retention is better. More eye contact with us. A lot of role-playing developed. But even though he has not yet speaking properly, he's very good with his body language. Or it is us who are alhamdulillah able to understand his body and facial expressions which allow us to engage with him better. 

But I still think there's a lot more than I can do. That can be done. 

I know I cannot compare myself with other supermom out there. But it always hurt when I know that I can be and do better.

"But I need rest. I am tired. I need time to myself."

Said the lazy, incompetent, selfish, stupid mother to herself.

Plot twist 

And I have spent almost RM300 for their uniforms and school shoes that they might not wear at all and might even outgrown 'em in the near future.

Angry? Not really.
Frustrated? Yes.

"Pakngah rase, depa sengaja buat keputusan last minit, sebab nak jugak rakyat berbelanja..."

But that money could be used to prep for online classes - repair laptops and other necessities...

Kita hanya merancang, betul. Tapi berapa kali nak salah merancang daa...

 They asked to go to myKori for a quick dessert time.

Sarah ordered her usual watermelon kakigori. Hannan tried the yummy strawberry yogurt. Ibu, abah & Umar shared the ever chocolaty choco brownies kakigori 💓

Happy birthday, Yang Dipertuan Negeri Sembilan. Thanks for the annual birthday holiday ;)
