The Hardest Time

At this point of time, I got stuck. I'm a jobless desperate housewife; a Jack of all trades. Not quite sure what I plan to do but I sure does create a commotion in my family when I quit my job. My dad has been calling me at quite a schedule time not more than a week apart. My brother invited me for dinner and spent more that 3/4 of the time interrogating me about my plan. My sister was not really happy with the crazy working hour in my previous job and my other sister is content with her life at the moment that she didn't notice I've been jobless lol!


A few years back, I realised I started using the phrase "This is the hardest year so far", the years passed by and every year I used the same phrase again and again. I realised that as I grow 'older', my test was getting harder. Anyway, this year I guess is the toughest yet so far. My hands were injured during job I had to quit my job which makes my injury a bonus because the working hours was crazy without any overtime claim. I had no commission because the total of my sales did not exceed my basic pay. Apparently what they offered during job interview was different from what they practised. My computer broke down and I had to choose my last pay to fix it so I can start working from than using the last pay to buy a new phone.

My right hand was numb while my left was in pain. There was no way I could work with my hands no matter what job I intend to do. The only part of me that was still working was my brain. I thought and I thought and I thought. The more I searched for jobs at Jobstreet, the more stressed I became. Then I understood. He wants me to take a break and think what I can do best. All my previous jobs were only part of my journey. The destination would come now. All I have to do is T.H.I.N.K. What do you think?



I notice that I tend to blink looking at

One Whole Week with Back Pain

It's raya. I have the whole week break. My parents are not at home and we can't go balik kampung since it will not fit the 7 of us in a car quite a long journey. Of course, I have planned a long list of things that I want to complete for the week. But what we planned is not always the plan. I kicked off raya with minor flu and end up with upper back pain. As a part time therapist, I have done all within my might to heal but this is my 6th day with back pain and there goes my break. I haven't tackled my paper clutter which I planned to do during the break and I have not sewn my herbal compress that I planned to make during raya.

I believe it is the raya stress that caused all of this pain. The inner raya pain somehow must have caused the physical pain. I guess it was a bit too heavy to carry. I never liked raya especially after I got married. I never knew raya is a bit thing. I got hurt the very first raya when my parents didn't even call me when I first celebrated my raya at my in laws. Well, you must wonder why I didn't call first as a daughter. But the truth is, I wondered whether or not my parents thought about me during the very first raya I was absent. It's really tiring just waiting for the CEO to decide where we are heading every raya. Of course if you love your husband for Him, this wouldn't be a big issue.

I know I'm not alone during raya. There are many wives who face the same thing. It is a big issue. If I publish this, I bet there will be comments saying not to humiliate my husband by sharing this. I bet many wives are screaming in their soul when it comes to raya.

So, how do I celebrate raya next year? Hopefully, not with a week back pain.

Berserhana, Elak Orang Jadi Meluat

Haaa.. Kan Rasulullah kata kita kena bersederhana. Masih dalam mode raya, makin lama, makin pelik posting orang sekarang. Ada yang posing sakan, makin ramai 'like' makin menjadi-jadi posingnya. Inilah trend sekarang:


1) kalau suami ala-ala ada affair 
Postingnya menunjukkan dia bahagia dengan suami. Muka suami punyalah ketat, muka dia muka bangga bahagia.The rest no comment la ya

2) Posing sana sini gaya model
Makin bertambah 'like' makin bertambahlah posingnya. Mula-mula posing biasa, lama-lama jadi luar biasa.

3) Hias rumah biasa-biasa
Tagline = deko rumah biasa-biasa aje.. sekali pos gambar. wallawehhhh! macam istana.

4) Masak simple-simple je
Ni pun lebih kurang macam deko rumah, sekali punya hidang 4-5 jenis penuh satu meja

5) Status Meroyan, bila tanya takmau jawab
Hmmm.. tak tahulah apa motif so no komen

6) Banyak lagi sebenornya.. kang sontap..

Kenapa Menantu dan Mertua Kurang Ketat?

Rasulullah dah kata, Didiklah anak mengikut zamannya. Rasanya itulah sebabnya menantu dan mertua agak sukar untuk berbaik-baik. Bukanlah selama-lamanya, tetapi kenapa pada awalnya agak sukar nak 'fit in'. Okaylah, kita bagi disclaimer ek, ini tips untuk mereka yang bakal-bakal menerima menantu, bukan untuk perhubungan dengan mertua terutama kalau dah lebih dari 5 tahun kahwin. Karang ada pulak yang kata, "I okay je dengan mertua".

Anyway, meh nak cerita, satu hari tu kami balik kampung, singgah lah ke RnR. Masa tu mak mertua pun ikut sekali. Disebabkan masa tu kami berpecah sebab mak nak pergi solat dan saya nak ke bilik air, dari jauh, saya bagitau mak takut mak cari. Mak angguk-angguk dan pusing sambil terlanggar seorang gadis remaja yang sangat cute. Serius comel sangat dengan make up anak patung, spek ala Korea dan tudung shawl yang sangat menawan. Pendek kata, sedap mata memandang macam artis comel yang selalu kita tengok kat drama-drama melayu. Alih-alih, sejurus selepas mak terlanggar dia, dia terus menggenggam kedua-dua tangannya yang comel ke pipi sebab geram sangat dia dilanggar mak, lalu menghentak-hentak kaki.. Aikk? Memang macam tu ke caranya kalau geram, dah nampak macam kartun la pulak.

Tiba-tiba masa beratur di bilik air, berdiri pulak di sebelah dia, lantas saya pun memohon maaf sebab mak terlanggar. Dia terus tersenyum manja. Okay, that's weird. Sebab macam psycho la pulak. Tapi dipendekkan cerita, sepanjang perjalanan balik, mulalah terfikir. Rasanya anak comel tu belasan tahun, lebih kurang baya anak saya. Maknanya kalau jadi menantu, macam tu lah gayanya. Terbayang pulak saya memasak dengan dia di dapur, kalau ditegur, agaknya macam manalah gayanya.

Padanlah mak mertua dulu pun masa mula-mula kahwin, bila di dapur, agak kekok gayanya nak suruh saya potong itu ini. Jawabnya kalau saya tanya, potonglah kot mana pun. Mestilah zaman saya berbeza dengan zaman dia dan zaman mak pulak sudah tentunya berbeza dengan zaman mak mertuanya. Zaman berubah, gaya dan fesyen pun berubah. Mak kalau pergi ke pasar, pasti berbaju kurung. Saya pulak kalau ke pasar, pakai seluar yang paling lusuh sebab malas nak kotorkan seluar jalan. Kalau cedok nasi, ada bekasnya. Saya pulak angkut periuk nasi ke depan. Mak saya pun bawak nasi dalam bekas tapi saya pulak rasa macam malas nak cuci bekas.

Agaknya, masa mula-mula kahwin, mak rasa tak saya ni macam psycho atau pelik atau lain macam. Yelah, sementara nak kenal. Pastinya mak akan 'expect' menantu dia berperangai seperti dia dengan mertuanya, rupanya zaman dah berubah, jadi menantu dia berbeza. Ditambah pula menantu yang mempunyai adab dan 'culture' keluarganya sendiri.

Sejujurnya, bukan senang nak 'fit in' budaya keluarga lain sebab setiap keluarga mempunyai budayanya sendiri tapi saya bukan nak kritik mak mertua cuma tinggal lagi, apabila saya mengimbau balik kenangan saya sebagai menantu ketika masih baru, saya mungkin akan memahami menantu saya bila tiba saatnya nanti.

Harapnya, bila kita dah bermenantu nanti, jangan lupa betapa janggalnya kita di rumah keluarga baru yang memang berbeza dengan keadaan di rumah sendiri. Pejam celik je lagi.. bertambah-tambahlah meriahnya nanti.

Marketing Trends yang Sentiasa Berubah.

Bila tengok facebook, tak payah nak attend any marketing class dah. Boleh nampak trend tu berubah-ubah. Kadang naik rimas jugak sebenarnya but that shows how fast the life we're living now. Kalau letak muka pengasas sebesar-besarnya, sepantas kilat muka ramai pengasas splattered kat facebook. Ada sekali tu, marketing trend dengan kasi resepi free, dah seantera dunia mula kasi resipi free, ada pulak yang siap ambil video youtube mana-mana, edit kasi nampak original, lepas tu kredit satu menda pun tak kasi.

The latest yang nampak sekarang ialah ada satu cerita tragik yang menyedihkan, bila dah baca hujung, mulalah nampak, rupanya iklan. Kalau iklan jamu, sang suami memuji-muji kemantapan isteri sampai kadang rasa nak termuntah, lepas tu mulalah semua orang dok puji-puji bini.

Ada siap kutuk-kutuk kedai, bila baca rupanya dia mengutuk, harga yang terlalu murah untuk portion yang terlalu besar. Grrr.. ada pulak yang kasi review customer semuanya elok memanjang, bila kita beli, rupanya indah khabar dari rupa. Ada yang share benda-benda viral, tengok-tengok rupanya dia ada produk, rupanya jual tudung dan blouse bagai.

Lepas ni apa pulak marketing trends agaknya?

How Close are You with your Spouse?

So, the title is simple. How close are you with your spouse? Do you tell them you deepest secret? Do you tell them if you have a crush with someone, an artist perhaps? Can you resist the urge of telling him who hurt you most? I can't and that puts me in trouble. So, should we keep secrets from our husband and share it with our best friend instead?

Among the things that I share, of course, are the long list of crushes during school and my passion
I'm always impressed with my mother in law. She certainly knows when and how to tell my father in law. She can tell just the right amount of info at the right time that saves her from any unwanted confrontation and crisis. I, on the other hand, tells everything to her son that puts me in situations whether I like it or not.

For me, he is my everything, so, everything I share.

How do you handle this? Leave a comment. Would love to hear.
