Increased Energy.

For the last three months, I had been running like a speed racer. Never bother to slow down or put things on pause even for a while. I am known by my family as *gelut* other word *kelam kabut and I think, I got that from my father. He, he, kelam kabut pun, kerja beres! Nak jadi Super women. But, by the end of the day, though things done, knocked out juga!! And without realizing how I had lost my weight. Ya, in order to take care of hubby, firstly, I need to take care of myself.

Today, after sending hubby to Physio, *I normally had one hour and a half to roam around* I went to Plaza Masalam. I decided to buy vitamins for hubby and me. Hubby, especially needed to be boosted, to gain some strength. It's one of the alternatives besides cooking him good food. So, I got him Pharmaton. Without knowing what is good for me, I asked the pharmasist for assistance. And was recommended 'Centrum Silver.

Well, guess what? I headed my way to *Laksa Shack*, ordered myself a bowl of soto and Teh tarik. Later, swallowed Centrum silver. I felt better for a moment! *sigh* I am helping myself to boost up my energy. The least, I could do. Eeyahh!! dah rasa nak melompat.
Fetched hubby and rushed home, made him steamed fish with lots of vegetables liked asfaragus, carrots, brocolli and mushroom. Gave him his medicine, and...Pharmaton. *sigh again* Hmm, belum boleh melompat lagi!!

The booster

A visit from big brother
Received a message from my son Syafiq that my eldest brother Nordin is on the way to visit hubby, I cooked Tomato Mee. I know Noodle is his favourite. My brother arrived almost on time I finished cooking. Well, this is why I needed to get myself boosted..forever kelam kabut. My brother came with his son Imran. Glad that I cooked noodle. He was hungry and had second helping. It was a short visit for he had other appointment to attend. Anyway, thanks for coming Bro!

Sunday agenda

We started the day by going to our 'Green day' *recycle* organized by our committee members of Permaira from Kemuning Utama. As the President of the housing area my hubby supported whatever good work, for the harmony of our place. I participated by keeping used mineral bottles and old papers and deliver it on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Interesting, macam zaman sekolah dulu. It also, in a way teaches us to be organized in our daily life... classifying things in order. But sometimes, I can't wait for the day to come, bundles of plastic bags behind my backyard. By selling those things the association earns some extra money besides monthly maintenance fees from the residents. Some of our neighbours are friendly and there are some who did not bother what actually happen around them. Selfish, patut duduk jauh nun di hutan!



"Arab Restaurant"
Late that morning my hubby, my son syazwan and I went to hubby's office to get some documents and later to UOB in PJ to settle some bills. For lunch, we decided to have Arab's food. So we headed to Ampang behind the old Yow chuan, in jln Damai. The restaurant was among the Bungalows and a little isolated. It's called Arrawsha. My hubby seemed to be crazy over Arab food lately, pantang dengar kedai Arab. We had been to a few in Shah Alam and as far as Cyberjaya.

Here comes the food served by an Arab waiter

Kabsa rice with chicken and Mandi rice with lamb

*Burp* Dah kenyang, duduk tersandar!

Happenings and New Maid.

Yeah! the new maid has finally arrived!! No more hanging clothes and lipat baju...*yg paling ku benci* Her name is Sri Wahyuni and she is 43 yrs old. Since she is elderly, my kids called her Bibik*aunty* She worked non stop..*hoping that she stays that way* She is loud, friendly and a fast learner. And has a strong heavily body. I'd never expected at that age she can worked vigorously. But it's too early to tell. Well, anyway let's pray to god, she can maintain what she is now and could stay longer with us.


Almost every weekends, since hubby is sick, we had guests came to the house. I was prepared to snap photos of some of our visitors, with my new camera *redeemed from Maybank credit card*

My huggy bear cousin, Megat.

Friday morning, instead of sending hubby to physio, hubby insisted that we go to Midvalley to 'Maybank Treats fair' I suggested to push him on wheel chair. We are lucky that Malaysian now are disable friendly. So parking was not a problem. We parked exactly in front of the entrance. And we took the elavator to the convention hall where the fair was on. We hurriedly looked for what to redeem before the crowds start to arrive at 12am *Friday break*

My daughter having lunch at La Manilla.

At the parking lot.

We got ourselves a stand fan and a Cannon Ixus. Gee! new camera for me and it's free.
We had lunch at La Manilla on the same floor. Looking at hubby's progressed, we shall have to do a lot of outing in the future.

'Staying Alive without Maid!'

Days had gone by..Time flew, leaving the past behind us. What matters now is the future. Life has to go on. My maid of two years had to leave. And a new one will be replaced soon. *Phew!* letihnya without a maid! Housework never ends. I wondered now, where did maids got the energy to work and work from dawn to night? Silap, kena marah pulak. Saya buat kerja sikit dah letih dan mengamuk. Though I enjoy the housework but I can only tolerate one month, the most. My legs, my hands and everything started to ache. Well, I'm not young anymore. I'm stress, tension and under pressure if chores is not finish. Love to see the house clean.

I looked scary! Don't you dare come near me!! He, he, That''s the warning from my son! It's just a matter of time to get adjusted.
When is the new maid coming??



Believe it or not what I cooked for lunch on last Sunday *without a maid*. Sweet sour crab, Prawns Thai style, Fried chicken, Fried french beans and eggs beaten with some condiments fried on crab skin. And some ulam to go with cincalok. Emm, Yummy!
Langkah Kanan!! my sister Teh and her hubby suddenly turned up. Love having them around. Hubby too looked cheerful. We all had our lunched at the family dining area. Good news! hubby now can eat on his own..syukur alhamdullillah. After lunch, I served them Carrot cake and coffee. I baked the cake a day before my maid left.

The world cup fever is back! Tv programme is none other than football. Boring! anyway, no time to relax actually. Hubby watched every game, except for games played at 2am in the morning. As for his condition now, hubby is not allowed to go out to the tv area alone. And I did not volunteer to accompany him either. But he watched it the next day.

Got to go now, I want to marinate the chicken breast which I had put aside. I'm making Roast chicken tonight. Simple, tasty and it's the kid's favourite.
