SALAM RAMADHAN 1437

So yesterday I went into a store owned by a Chinese Aunty.
She greeted me with a cheerful, welcoming "hello"
and i replied with a "hi" and a smile.

"Raya is coming ho?"
"Ya laa.. tomorrow puasa already."

She looked so surprised and said:

"Puasa tomorrow???"
"Yep. Puasa then raya lah"

Still with a surprised face:
"You tidak takut?
"Takut apa?
"Takut puasa laaa.."
"Hahah.. tidak la takut. apa mau takut aunty. Puasa good bha aunty. Help your body rest, help cleansing. Detox maa.."
"But you cannot eat boh"
"sekejap only laa.. sunrise to sunset only. then can eat maa.. tidak mati la"
"aiyerr.. can tahan kah?"
"you eat many many lah in the morning. hahah"

There were not much to see so I left.

Having that conversation made me think:

Allah has the best plan for us. 
He has all the reasons to all the things He told us to do. 
AND IT'S ALWAYS THE BEST.
ALHAMDULILLAH.

Salam Ramadhan everyone! :)

IN DENIAL

Can everyone like
hakuna their tatas
and
STOP ADULTING??!

Everyone's been talking bout
FUTURE
you know
becoming adults.

Talking bout graduating masters
looking for a job
getting married
especially GETTING MARRIED

can we just like slow down
and enjoy life at the moment,
like live in the moment,
and forget about the future?

I know we cant
and we shouldnt.
I'm clearly in denial.

Sigh.

THE LADY ON BED 30

So here's the story.
Nek Ni has been hospitalised since Thursday due to some bacterial infection.
A couple of weeks prior, Nisa's been telling us about her patient:
A Schizophrenic Diabetic lady.
Nisa told us bout how she would stripped herself yelling:
"Misi!!! N**en ku sakit!!!"
cos she has water retention and her body swelled up hence the pain.
I thought that it could be very interesting to meet her in person.

Lucky me (?)
Nek Ni shared a room with that Makcik
She's been there for one month plus,
Her roommate came and go,
Sik tahan sebilit dengannya.
Let me tell you why.

She would stand beside you
Looking at you from top to toe
And would not say anything.
JUST. STAND. THERE.
She would sometimes scream
and make a scene.
At night, she would either be singing,
or she would stand very still by your bed
Looking at you.
There are also times that she would flashed her boobs
No kidding.
Nek Ni said there are times
that she would sit or lie down
as if she's feeding a baby.
Meruyan is the correct term for it.

It did freak some of us,
but we still treat her nicely.
You know.
Cos we're humans.
Humans be nice to each other.

Everyone knows that Nek Us Clan and food are inseparable
So we brought food everytime we came to visit Nek Ni.
I remember offering a red bean bun to that Makcik
and she ate it all up.
She was more than happy having us offering her food.
She kept saying how nice the food are
We cant give her too much food cos she's on a diabetic diet.
her Glucose level was 12.6 I remember that one time.
nevertheless she's very grateful.

Yesterday was her last day at the hospital.
She was supposed to be discharged the day before,
but they have trouble with their transport.
We gave them some money.
Usu bought a pair of slippers for her.
She went:
"Bait na kitak ngan kamek oh?"
and yes tears were shed.

Before she went off,
she thanked us for so many times.
I hope they get home safe and sound.
Did I mention they live in Asajaya?
in which is quite far cos you have to take the ferry to get there.

Would love to go and visit her
before or during raya,
just to see how well she's been doing
and probably bring some stuff to her
I know she would love it.

HMMMMM I DONT KNOW...

it's that time when you feel worthless
you lost your motivation
feeling lost
not knowing where to go
questioning yourself
why are you doing what you're doing now?
do you know what the future holds?
what is your future anyway?
will there be rainbow day after day?
or storms all the way?
or maybe sunshine after every rain?

you want everything to be perfect
well at least that everything goes as plan
wait, aint that the same?
what i meant is you wanna succeed
you wanna be somebody
not just anybody

the pressure is real
thinking that everyone is counting on you
but here you are
feeling worthless
and what's worse is
you feel like quitting
unsure of what's next
but quitting was never an option
IT SHOULDNT BE AN OPTION.

you kept thinking
then overthink
then it hurts your head
tears streaming like Niagara Falls
and to Him you turn to
praying for the best
because He and only He has the answers to everything

i should stop now.
it could be my hormones
well i just dont know.

okay.

HOW TO END A STORY

So munirah shared a joke last night which went like this:

A man was sick and tired 
of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went  through so he prayed:


'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put
in 8 hours while my wife
merely stays at home.
I want her to know what
I go through
So, please allow her body to
switch with mine for a day.


God, in his infinite wisdom,
granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough,
the man awoke as a woman...
he arose, cooked breakfast
for his mate, awakened the kids,
set out their school clothes,
fed them breakfast,
packed their lunches,
drove them to school,
came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
took it to the cleaners
and stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
went grocery shopping,
then drove home to put away the groceries.


Then it was already 1 PM
and he hurried to make the beds,
do the laundry, vacuum, dust, sweep 

and mop the kitchen floor,
ran to the school to pick up the kids 
and got into an argument with them on the way home,
set out milk and cookies 

and got the kids organized to do their homework.
Then set up the ironing board 

and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes 
and washing vegetables for salad,
breaded the pork chops
and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen,
ran the dishwasher,
folded laundry,
bathed the kids and put them to bed.


At 9 PM he was exhausted
and, though his daily chores weren't finished, 

he went to bed where he was expected to make love, 
which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke
and immediately knelt by the
bed and said: -


Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay
home all day
Please, Oh! Please,
let us trade back.. Amen!'


The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:

"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson 
and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.
But you'll have to wait nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night"


Then in labour room after the baby is born
God says:
You've done a good job keeping your fetus healthy 
and bringing him into this world, 
and see how adorable he is.
And only you have the breast milk ...

I shared it with Dol
He claimed that the joke was dark
He had an ending for the joke which sounds like this:

the guy learnt his lesson
but no
he's trapped in that female body for another 9 months
the guy then felt tortured both physically and mentally
he tried to scream and tell his kids it's him, their dad
but none of them believe him
even his 'husband'-self thinks it was a joke
in the end,
he went nuts
torutred
but no one knows.


I told him that was wayyyy too twisted
So i told him my version of the ending:

God says he needs to breastfeed
so after breastfeeding ends
he's be himself again
learnt his lesson
and be grateful that he's a guy
and live his life as he is
and
he respects women more
he understands how it feels to be a lady.

The End.

He agreed that my ending was better

Which ending do you like better?
How would you end this story?

FATIN VS EMPTY WALLET

these few weeks
i'm having a hard time choosing outfits before stepping out of ze house
its either i dont fit in em anymore or i think i've worn it last week so i aint wearing it again this week.
bottom line,
i need new clothes!
but my wallet said i dont and im in a big fight with him right now.
havent spoke to him for almost 2 weeks now

this morning,
i changed from my usual cardigan with jeans
(because i had to wear it with my black shawl in which ive worn yesterday)
to my long dress
(i feel kinda fat looking at my bulging tummy)
to baju kurung 
(i wanna wear my sketchers and it kinda look weird even though it doesnt really look weird but i feel weird)
and back to my long dress
(who cares bout my bulging tummy i'll be staying indoors from 9 to 5 anyway)

if you follow me on twitter you would know that i applied loan for car pterol from my mom
and im willing to do anything for money at this point.
oyyyyy halal things lah of course
keep it halal zizturrr
astaghfirullahalazimmmm..

you see? that's how poor i am right now

why?

because gaji belom masok and im not sure what's the reason this time.
i told my boss about it and he said he'll ask the person in charge.

oh and i dont undderstand some people
who actually requested to borrow money
from people who they barely talk to (friends or family)
i mean like
you need help then only you come to me?
like that ka?
wowww you got balls

okay i actually wanted to talk about something else
but i got carried away and i didnt really expect to rant on me not having money this long
hahah

okay better get to work.

Assalamualaikum!

WHO LET ME ADULT?!

I admit that i've been so busy lately
i rarely have time to hang out with my friends
i would squeeze in a little
and grab any chance i could to catch up with em
but sadly it was never mutual.

what had i been up to?

started with my Masters program meaning that i have to go
to UNIMAS every morning at 8.30
then i'll go back at 4

been tutoring my cousin for PT3 for the final 4 weeks every night;
in which the exam starts today

Dialysis Duty every Monday, Wednesday and Friday

been busy with the preparation for Nek Us' 87th this coming Wednesday,
which left me with no leisure weekends

my head's been a mess lately
so i wasnt really in the mood for dramas
hence i ignore most of the things that dont benefit my time

my only free times are during meal times
i used to lepak dudok lamak2 during meal times
but now not so much
i kinda miss those times.
hanging out and catching up with my friends.

im sorry i had to decline any of your invites,
im sorry i participate less in the group chats
im sorry that i've been so boring as a friend

im not sure if this is just me or anything
but i do kinda feel far from my friends
and i dont like that feeling

they said it's because it's a growing up phase
like everyone has their own things to do
and probably you gotta leave some things behind
but why would i leave my friends behind???

i dont want that!
i dont wanna adult.

WHO LET ME ADULT???!

AN EMOTIONAL POST

i might explode some day.
but i hope its not today.
and by today i mean every day from the day i wrote this post.

yes human has limits.
im not sure when i'll reach mine
and i hope it's still a long way.

ignorance is definitely my new bestfriend
ignoring everything
refusing to face the reality.

tell me what's been bothering you they said.
i wish i could
i couldnt even tell myself what
the least i could do is cry
it's a normal response to pain.

you know what?
i need a counsellor
that's for sure.

or perhaps someone who can really listen
whom i can talk to without them judging.

I'M A MESS

when you walk into a room
looking all jolly
then you see your friends
and then you start cracking jokes
and you guys laugh real hard
you laugh the hardest
like there's no tomorrow

awkward silence

okay now tell me
what's wrong?

what do you mean?

come on
don't reply my question with a question

there's nothing wrong.
im fine.

right.
what's wrong?
you know you cant hide things from us.

i'm fine.

BULLSHIT.



for someone who likes keeping things from others
and suffer the pain myself,
just because i dont want to burden them with my problems,
until i cant really handle it myself,
i need someone to tell BULLSHIT right to my face.

because I came to realise that im the kind of person
Who would rather be sad and miserable alone
Rather than dragging others to be miserable with me
I would rather see the silver linings on the cloud than the storm that lies ahead.
im happy-go-lucky and carefree, and that's what i want you to see.
