Salam everyone! I have been very busy these days! Now I’m back!

Last Friday on 08.08.08 (wow, nice numbers!), my sister Chocolate Pudding had her ‘Mandi Belawat’ ceremony at Baitul Athirah. This indicated that her 40-day post natal was over and had the 'Majlis Kesyukuran' ceremony for her Baby Sara or fully known as - ‘Nurul Amal Sara Luthfiyah Hasanah Athirah’...pheww…hope I spell that correctly!

Note: Thanks to Cousin Yan for sharing the pictures!

“Hai anakku! Sesungguhnya jika ada (amal-amal) itu sebesar biji sawi (sekalipun), biar adanya didalam batu, atau dilangit, ataupun dibumi, nescaya Allah akan tunjukkan (memperlihatkannya) Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui.” – Surah Luqman : Ayat 16

“Hai anakku! Dirikanlah solat dan suruhlah (manusia) berbuat kebajikan dan laranglah dari perbuatan yang mungkar dan sabarlah atas sesuatu (musibah) yang menimpamu.Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu adalah dari urusan-urusan yang dipastikan (Allah).” – Surah Luqman : Ayat 17

This is what my cousin emailed me :

PARENTS’ JOB DESCRIPTION

POSITION :
1.  Mom, Mommy , Mama, Ma   2. Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION :

Long term, team players needed, for challenging, permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities! Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

The rest of your life.

Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a packed mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings  for clients of all ages and mental outlooks! Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, and embarrassed the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.

Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.  Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :

None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

Get this!  You pay them!

Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

And there’s a footnote. It says -

THERE IS NO RETIREMENT  --  EVER!!! **
If you are fortunate enough you will become grandparents

Sinar: I’m proud to become a mother to my 3 lovely girls and a boy. Alhamdulillah. (Not the big guy - that is my kekasih hehehe....)

Happy 62^nd Birthday, Your Majesty!

Sembah Ucapan Tahniah Sempena Ulang Tahun Hari Keputeraan Kebawah Duli Tuan Patik yang ke 62 tahun. Semoga kekal karar memerintah Negara Brunei Darussalam. Daulat Kebawah Duli Tuan Patik.

Alhamdulillah it’s Friday. I’ve been busy for the past 2 days. (sigh…*) Wish my Cahaya is around.

Yesterday evening after work, I went to Dj Zura’s newly opened warong. Bought nasi katok (Brunei-version of nasi lemak) and ais milo.  The nasi katok was yummy. Spent about an hour to chit-chat with her when there is no customer. When I reached home, I was too tired last night that I dozed off - straight in bed! Maknye…. That’s it, when the beloved one is far away!

So I woke up very early this morning. As I was brushing my silky hair (esteeeeh…!), I found I got some tiny white hair (iyessss…uban lah..!) growing in the front part of my head…just grown I guess…Orang kata, uban adalah cahaya kita dalam kubur nanti…wallahu’alam. Alhamdulillah, these will be my ‘cahaya’ in my kubur. So you all yang no-have uban yet after 40, kira rugi le…. So jangan suka ‘corour’ rambut yang hitam cantik tu ok… After all black is beautiful, agree? Ahhh cakap pasal ubansss lah pula!!!

Talk about MUAY THAI beb! My Cahaya appears on the Kosmo newspaper today, with his ‘Muay Thai’ events associate, Zahari. Cool and congratulations! You will know more from boxxtomoi’s website! The expert writer of Muay Thai (This guy is so the humble one…he keeps on saying his blog is family-family one je... ). This paper cutting below is uploaded from his blog....bolehkan abang boxxtomoi, tak marah nie...Anywayss, kite nak jumpa kat KL nanti kan...!? Superb!

YYesss! The Muay Thai fights will be held at Stadium Bukit Jalil this coming 2- 3 August. I’ll be there, insya Allah! Visit boxxtomoi now!
