MELAMPAU!

Aku peeeeeennnnatttt/tired/letih/drained/capek/exhausted/dead-beat/worn-out/ sangat. This year’s financial end closing betul-betul mendera aku. Tertekan babe! Bayangkan tiap-tiap hari aku menatap menatang monitor tu 14-16 jam. Sekarang ni abg pa plak yang boleh balik awal dari aku..ha! kan pelik tu.

Aku dah sampai rumah, memang aku nampak katil je kat mata ni. Dah takde maknenyer nak online, update blog, check facebook,/frenster ke, ym ke, aku dah memang tak larat sangat. Banyak je sebenarnyer benda-benda nak tulis , tapi bile time nak tulis je, aku pikir ada baiknye aku tido. Just imagine kadang-kadang aku kena sambung kat rumah keje-keje tu walaupun balik dah lewat giler. Part ni paling menguji tahap iq tul! Hahaha…mane taknyer, naik pening kepala tahan ngantok,. Pehtu kepala non-stop tersengguk – tersengguk.

Yang lagi klakar, nak potong kuku pun tak menyempat. ade sekali tu, aku kena kejar mase sebab banyak lagi yang tak settle for another closing. Tengah buat kejer, perut plak sakit. Tak boleh nak tahan lagi, aku bawak kertas yang aku tengah reconcile tu & pencil. Sambil ‘layan’ sambil buat kejer... time nak kire..alamak! calculator tak bwk. Hmm..terpaksa kire bahagi manual (mcm zaman darjah-darjah dolu)… huhu…poyo tahap keliwon tul aku nih..eheh.

Sumtimes aku rase macam nak give up jer. Aku jadi macam tak mampu nak push myself further. Letih macam nak koma. I need a break. I need some vacation. A relaxing place kinda thing. Cuti budak-budak finance kena freeze berbulan-bulan because of this year end closing. So sekarang aku cam menyampah bile tengok department lain amik cuti. Ces…!! Jaga korang, account publish jer, aku amik cuti setahon!! Akan ku ‘spa’ & ‘sauna’ badanku ini….hhmpphh!

This time nyer year end memang melampau!!!

Ayah’s great passion of photography

Last weekend Abg Bis was looking for his pictures during his trip to mane ntah. During the searching, he found several mak’s & ayah’s albums which contained pictures from their college years, to the dating interlude, to the nuptials and to when the Kasri’s generation started grew bigger. Without any hesitance, I ran to join him. Jap lepas tu, everybody was there…:D

I’m weirdly wondering how I didn’t know the existence of these pictures. Ade yang dah penah tengok, but most of them belum! I was caught between surprise and exhilaration. Both because I had to see how both of them found each other’s love, romantically involved, mak’s fashion sense (damn she was one &*% of a sexy lady!! *double wink*) during the retro years, rambut style VB okay!, how ayah held mak in his arm during their dancing nite, ayah painted himself to look like a zombie for one of their sketches (seriously macam rupe Labi mase nyanyi lagu ‘Aci Aci Buka Pintu’ in the P.Ramlee’s classic ‘Nasib Si Labu Labi), how mak can simply did a model-like pose while holding “an umbrella” (sangat hindustan okay!) on a beach sand (its amazing how the payung by any chance was happened to be just at the right time & place…hhmmm?? Suda preplanned ka?), K.Ti looking literally blur when she was surrounded with a huge doll and other toys during her first birthday party (perhaps she didn’t realised it at all), K.Ti, K.Da & Abg Pa during their hey-days plus countless of memorable and other “impressive” pictures lagi la...ahaks.

To my siblings, sorry to mention this but im still sinking in a big pool of question marks of just how u all had the GUTS to allow yourselves in fitting your skinny body into those tight shirts paired with hot-pants and knee-length stockings at one go?? Not to forget the horrible loose tied pony tail and the abu-bakar-elah hair styles. Ouch!

I just cudn’t stop laughing that I called K.Ti to share this with her. She was about to sleep before I rang her, but hearing to my excitement, both of us burst into big laughs. My ears cud hear as she was explaining to Abg Jijan, “they all ni tengah tengok album dolu-dolu…pastu gelakkan i..haha”.

I luv this moment. Full of funs! It resembles our close-knit. I must say that I am proud to be the daughter to Kasri and Ishah, little sister to Aswati, Ida, Papa and Lubis, in-law to Azizan, Rita and Azreen, auntie to Anwar, Nadia, Amir, Amin, Alysa, Iman, Akif, Umair, Shuhaib, Khadijah and baby Maryam.

These are the people that meant everything to me (besides relatives and friends, of course!). You are my air to breath, my soul to live, my strength to strive.

To ayah, I miss u. Really do.
May I take this opportunity to seek all moslem readers of lara_amani to recite Al-Fatihah for my late dad – Hj Kasri Ibrahim. Thank you and may Allah taala blesses u with your thoughts and kindness ;)

Saturday's bustles...

This mornin’, me gotten up quite late. Qada’ for 1 week of sleep lacking…huhu. Felt like having the recently introduced KFC breakfast meal tu (hehe cam samdol…jadi bahan jer lepas tu), but since it was already near to noon, plan cancelled. Grab the phone & rang Ima for lunch. So we headed to the nearby Tropicana mall. After several rounds of looking for the right place to give our hungry crunch at halt, finally we actually stopped at …ta daaaa….teka rr….Kenny Rogers jer.. Boleh la tu…. Got ourselves few things at the Body Shop & Crocs. Ima la…slipar hilang 1 pair jer, but she brilliantly replaced it with 3 pairs... family’s protocol eh? Sketnyer poyo dowh ;p

Gi Esso sat, Ima had something to settle there. Still sangap giler, we picked Sarah up at Yas’s & went straight to Desa Parkcity. Good idea since it had been a long time I didn’t lepak there. The last hang out that I cud remember was on my birthday nite…peh! Last year tu………

Sarah got a theme for the first reception already, which we thank God for that… coz at this moment, minah tu really has no idea yet for baju nikah & receptions, make up, cards, theme for the second reception, number of items to be made for hantaran tak abis beli lagi plus other zillion things left to think when she only has 3 more months to settle everything..hhmmm.. pity her.. ;(

Newayz, we’ll be wearing maroon insyaAllah. Ive asked ima to buy the materials as she’s leaving for Jakarta tomorrow. Also kain for Fatin’s wedding sumwhere in June. Aku kena jadi bridesmaid…again. Cet! Nasib shima’s engagement (which also planned to be held in this coming June) demands nothing but our presence.

Am just wondering when is my turn to do the pick among our clan to walk me down the aisle…hhmmm….hope its not just a wishful thinking. Trying really hard to have a positive mind ‘ere ok!

cheese!! oh sori... err.. say uuuuuhhhhhh (pouty lips)!

this is wut will happen when u got stucked in a jam...true story ok. *blagh*

930am --> Vitagen --> Zombie --> Constipate --> House

Yup. 9.30 was the time I clocked in today. I was 1 hour late to work. The moment I opened my eyes I heard mom was knocking on my door & asked me “tak keje ke hari ni?”. And I was like “ya Allah…keje! Im late!”. Sms my boss jap telling her that I’ll be late coz tak sedar langsung and apologized for that.

Masuk ofis, check with Yanti ade orang carik tak – takde – GOOD! Check any urgent emails, sempat bukak yang work related ones jer. Baru nak bukak email yang noti-noti & kinky-kinky, banyak plak benda-benda lain mengacau. They all ni tau-tau je bile aku ade kat tempat tau. Nyampahss…….

Yup. Today, vitagen made me looked like a salesgurl. Iras-iras awek promoter kat Tesco pon ade gak. Citernyer, last Friday as I was on the phone with k.azwa asking her to clarify certain things (a very petty one but u kno la how small things cud make an inexperienced accountant’s life go haywire...buhsan!), the topic turned to Vitagen. WHY? HOW? SO? I kno. Sangat tiba-tiba kan… lek la, nak citer rr ni. K.azwa dapat beli vitagen murah – 15 bottles for RM10. Knowing that, mesti la aku nak order gak. Dah alang-alang aku order, aku pun war-warkan citer ni to my department. So I collected the order & today is its delivery. Dari proses mengangkut, ke proses menge’sort’ sape punyer, ke masuk dlm plastic, ke proses menjual extra bottles yang akak tu dah bawak, ke bawak naik trolley to my dept level, ke masukkan dalam fridge.

Even though it sounds ‘biar betik! baiknyer ko nak tolong buat semua ni…leceh jer, dah la keje tengah banyak tuh”, but that was when Allah taala gave me something in return. Kepala aku sket je lagi nak terhantuk dengan palang besi mase tengah jalan ke loading bay tu, Alhamdulillah sebagai asbab, aku sempat mengelak. Yanti was more than willing to help me from unloading to delivering the drinks (padahal dia tak order langsung tapi siap enjoy hepi hepi lagi..eheh). Kakak yang jual tu plak teramat la sportingnyer (K.Ila nama dia) and those who had no idea WTH all these vitagens were doing there, non-stop asking & pushing us to sell to them (ni kakak tu la yang best kan..aku tukang tolong je la..).

Hhmmmm….mungkin setengah orang yang baca ni mungkin akan fikir – “tak de kena mengena pun!”. Its ok. But this was what I realized. My mom always taught me to relate between things that had happened/aftermath with what may cause it to happen. It’s a reciprocating concept. The simple idiom is better known as a blessing in disguise. Believing it, teaches me to be more relax & somehow more grateful.

Yup. Bile aku tengok kat cermin petang tadi, peergghh! Muke giler tak siap…belum sempat aku nak tanya k.yati, dia dah sound dah – “Weh! Betul la….muke awak hari ni sebijik macam ZOMBIE!”. Including her, that was like 4th to 5th time I was being ‘zombiazed’ by people at the office man! Eerrrgghh…..i just cudn’t care less.. ;p

Yup. I hate this but to admit that im sooo having such a critical constipation (for couple of weeks already). Please dun ask me to eat banana or betik or whatsoever dat cud make my bowel movement easier. Tried everything but none worked for me. Julap je tak try lagi. Nak carik kat mane ek? Seng sei ke pharmacy ke kedai pak mat tepi simpang 3 tu yang ade jual? Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh………

Yeah baby! Watching a one hell of an arrogant-misanthropic medical genius-effortlessly handsome-egoistic-bad mouthed-naughty-matured-teaser-deep thinker-hard ass- professional doctor is definitely made my day. Today’s episode was one of the best so far in season 5. Two thumbs up for both – the disease diagnosis as well as the side story.

Like this line so much: -
House: C’mmon! U need to give me a phone call. Im a doctor. When sumone is calling u up to 3 times, it shows somebody is dying. So which one u think is more important?? (faking it!)
Police: huh! isn’t there any better doctor to do that for u…? (sounded cynically)
House: u’ll be surprise to know it!!

Hahhahaha!!!! My all time fave la… cudnt live without it. Im House-addicted! ;D
