My Birthday Present

No no no no no! Don’t wish me Happy Birthday yet! You there, zip it! No singing Happy Birthday yet! My birthday is still more than a month away BUT hubby has already ‘bought’ me a present. And mind you, i know he loves me very much but believe it or not, he never gave me presents on my birthday if i didn’t ask for anything! he’s not the kind of guy who suprise you on your birthday with an unexpected birthday gift. So, this year, i asked him for this birthday present and he has already ‘bought’ it!

Curious to know what?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my Birthday Present

TuneHotel

ok

i can see some of you laughing, oh and i saw you there with that smirk on your face. well, you guys can laugh all you want. obviously, you don’t get it. oh and you over there, i saw a big question mark on your head.

now, let me explain, ok? while some of you might think this is an absurd idea, for me, this is the perfect Birthday Present ever.

why?

of course i didn’t ask for a 3 days 2 nights stay at Tunes Hotel! That’s ridiculous! For God’s sake, i’m staying in Penampang and 1Borneo is within a walking distance from the place i work. you must be wondering, why i didn’t choose some 5 star hotel like Rasa Ria or Nexus?

am i nuts?

no, i’m not.

what i had actually asked for is a 12 hours un-interrupted sleep / me-time  got it? the main point is 12 hours un-interrupted sleep / me-time and not 3 days 2 nights stay at Tunes Hotel.

and why Tunes Hotel, 1Borneo? Because… it’s cheap. see? 3 days and 2 nights for RM100.48 only! FYI, i’m not even going to spend the night there. or anywhere else without my hubby & kids so i’m not spending RM1K for a place that i won’t even spend the night in. the plan is, i will check in on the 8th and go home. The next day, at about 6:00 a.m or 7:00 a.m, i’ll go to the hotel and start my 12 hours un-interrupted sleep / me-time! and i’ll go home after 12:00 hours is up. will check out the next day. see??? rather than leaving my kids to go to some fancy resort for an un-interrupted time for myself, i can just go somewhere near to my workplace and relax. i’m pretty sure it will only feels like going to work – but instead of working, i’ll be sleeping (zzzz…..) and when i couldn’t sleep anymore, maybe i’ll read a book. btw, will be taking a day off on that particular day.

and why un-interrupted sleep / me-time? well, if you’re not a mother yet, you wouldn’t understand. but mothers that have 2 [or more] kids below the age of 3 would definitely understand why sometimes we, mothers [and also wife + career woman + in my case : a student ] longed for some time for ourselves. maybe some of you don’t but i do. really really really do it feels like i might go insane if i don’t! i may sound selfish here for wanting an un-interrupted time, but is it wrong to ask for 12 hrs out of the almost 4 years of not having the time for yourself?

p/s : do not call me on that day, i’m going turn off my handphone!

Where do i begin…

How do I begin
to tell you how lucky I am
to have you in my life?

I’ll start by saying, what an honor it is
for me to be your wife.

A person who always bring a smile on my face
A person who always laugh at my jokes
A person who shares my hopes and dreams
A person who understands my worries and fears
A person who feels my pain when i am hurt
A person who comforts me when i am down
A person with the shoulders for me to cry on
A person who wipes away my tears
A person who always there by my side

My best friend in the good times
My rock in times of sorrow
The reason for sweet yesterdays
My promise for tomorrow

It’s you

I don’t always tell you
how much joy you bring
it means more to me
than anything

I don’t always tell you
that the love you give
brightens every day
that i live

I don’t always tell you
what’s in my heart
that you are the most
important part

I don’t always thank you
for the many things you do

or tell you how much
I really love you

and today
I wish you all the happiness, laughter
and luck for the year ahead
may all your dreams come true
and reach new heights of success each day

Happy Birthday, Honey Darling…

Yet another year’s gone by

i officially turned 28 years ‘young’ last sunday, 9th Dec.

didnt do anything on that day… in the evening, we just bought the KFC family bucket and head on to my papa’s apartment. everyone except my 2nd younger brother was there. titi stay d kg, jaga rumah…

my family bought me a cake… mango cake which was very sedap… kana kasi nyanyi happy bday lagi… c ellone paling kuat nyanyi hehehe… and then ada acara meniup candle lagi… hehehe… GOD i havent done that in years!!! my cake was full with candles… mcm telampau tua sudah… hehehe… ellone helped me lagi to blow them out. got some pics, in my papa’s camera so, later lah… if nice, i’ll post them here.. hahaha… ada kaaa…

been very busy for the past few weeks…

had my final exam on 28th Nov – 4th Dec so, during that time, i was totally in student mode. sudah lah tu… the exam schedule was very packed. my classmates had one subject every day, 28th – 4th. so kesian, no gap. but kesian2 pun, i thought my schedule was more crazier. just imagine, on 28th i got Advanced Database & Calculus both from 10:00 to 1:00. talked to my lecturer and the penyelaras, they suggested i take both subjects one after the other! bingung juga mula-mula… but then i thought perhaps i should just go for it, get it done and over with. lagipun i had the feeling (and i was right) that i wont be able to answer the database questions, and i might only take 1/2 hour for that particular subject – and i was right, again. so immediately after i finished the database paper, raised my hand, lecturer handed me the calculus paper. luckily the exams was conducted in the same hall. but then, i think i did poorly for both subjects… nda apa la… suda limpas juga.

jangan nda percaya, after the exam, i went to play 4 rounds of bowling. it’s actually a selection session for Sukan Staf – which will be held on the 14th – 16th Sept. Bukan pandai main punnn… saja… and the next day, exam again.

finished my exam on the 3rd, so 4th masuk kerja sudah… had some difficulty to switch back to U*S Staff Mode.

on the 5th, there was a futsal selection session. bah, apa lagi… nda pernah2 main futsal ni, decided to try out and i tell you… that game was extremely exhausting!!! Mendapat pengalaman hampir mati di gelanggang… feel like my lungs have been squeezed so tight i couldnt breath… betul2 hampir mati d gelanggang! but then again, so strange i was selected kunun had futsal training last monday & yesterday… ok sudahlah… tidak suda mo mati di gelanggang… tendangan pun semakin improve, it’s just that mula2, tendangan ok ja… can score one or two goals lagi, but after a while, bola pun ntah pi mana2 sudah… heheh

on the 6th pula, there was a netball selection session. bah, netball is one of my game also so, decided to try out and sure enough i was selected. pemain lama kan… bukan lah champion sangat but bulih laa siiiikit… had training last tuesday and yesterday…

did u notice i had 2 trainings yesterday? satu futsal and then after that netball?? Fuh… mcm sportswoman of the year pula…

itu blm lagi tu….

on the 7th, there was a badminton selection session macam tamaha ni, i decided to try out again and was selected by default. bukan pandai main pun but there are only three of us who went for the session, so tiga2 selected lah… 1 will play for single and 2 for double.

GILA!

so tomorrow, at 8:30 a.m will be the badminton tournament. 2:30 p.m netball tournament.

DOUBLE GILA!

saturday, 7:00 p.m will be the futsal tournament.

wish me luck la ya ppl!

GO MIMI GO!!!

Majulah Sukan Untuk Negara

another year’s gone by…

turn 27 today… 3 more years and i’ll hit the big three-oh. nothing interesting tho, didnt receive any present but i did receive bday wishes from quite a number of ppl, my close friends… my family… cousins… my dad even called me early in the morning just to wish me Happy Birthday… and i get all teary-eyed as i always do… i dunno… maybe there’s too many things i did in the past that i wish i didnt do – somehow i felt like i’ve let him down… so, everytime he wishes me happy birthday or congratulate me, i just cant help it… or may be i’m just sad bcos i feel like i’m not his little girl anymore.. bah, gontua sudah kan… hehehhh…

anywayyy… thanks a lot for the wishes and here’s a poem from me to me

Over The Hill Birthday

It’s birthday time again I see;
Another year’s gone by.
We’re older than we used to be;
The thought could make me cry.

For getting older is not such fun,
When there’s hurting in your back,
And it’s agony if you have to run,
And a pleasure to lie in the sack.

Yes getting older is quite a bore,
But to not get old is worse.
So “Happy Birthday!” let’s shout once more,
And to heck with our ride in the hearse!

Hooray for getting older! Happy Birthday and many more.
