Humility

I came across this hadith a couple of weeks back and every time I read it, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W, “Sembahyang di masjidku sama nilainya dengan sepuluh ribu sembahyang. Sembahyang di Masjid Al-Haram, sama nilainya dengan seratus ribu sembahyang. Sembahyang di medan jihad sama nilai dengan dua juta sembahyang. Tetapi yang lebih tinggi nilainya daripada kesemua itu, ialah sembahyang dua rakaat yang dikerjakan oleh seseorang hamba di tengah malam.”

Dear Lord, I stand before You, humbled.

Anak bertuah and I

Wow, been ages since my last update, eh? This post is actually about my convo with one #kampitberas

She has all grown up now, no longer a baby. Talkative too (like her mom *cringe*). I have been updating a number of conversations on fb over the years, but find it quite difficult to keep track. These convos bring back fondest memory *cough* yeah, right *cough*

So this posting is solely for record keeping..

1) Anak bertuah put up a fuss over her dinner yesterday. Complaining it’s not as per her request. Nasi goreng got no kicap. Told her to suck it up or go to bed hungry. On top of that..

Mak: no more nandos.
Anak bertuah: but i want
Mak: Use your own money. Ada duit tak? *tanya sambil jegil mata*
Anak bertuah: abah! Abah! Do u have money?

🙄😑

2) We knew anak bertuah ada homework bm this weekend. Asked her yesterday dah siap homework ke belum. Abah been nagging since saturday for her to finish it. So yesterday, mak pulak tanya. Anak bertuah dgn confidentnya bagitau “dah siap mak. Kakak dah siap tanda my homework.”
.
Siap tanda? Apoooo?? Asked her why she did that? Itu teacher je boleh buat. Dapat la jawapan nak lari dari menjadi mangsa keadaan “sebab kakak nak jadi teacher jugak”
.
Anak uols ada bagi marks 2340A kat diri sendiri? Ada?? 2ribu lebih ok? Takat 6A, mana mauuuu 😂😂

3) Check buku anak bertuah and found this.
Mak: kakak, ni kenapa ada love ni?
Anak bertuah: ni sebab kakak sayang mak
Mak: tapi kat ayah ni takde pun? Tak sayang abah?
Anak bertuah: *krik krik*
.
After a while.. “esok la kakak buat”
.
Hahahaha, sian la abahhhh

4) Anak bertuah is having her bff coming over since yesterday. Macam biasa, the whole house sepah mcm kena langgar todak. More so bila ada geng sorang lagi. After a while, i asked them to clean up everything or else, no food.

Sempat terdengar anak bertuah said this to her friend

“I told you she will get mad. It’s becoz she’s old”

Wah wah wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

5) Kampit is feeling the full fledged school experience. Dulu kat kindie ada nap time. Now takde dah. So today, balik from school she has this to report

“Mak, brain kakak masuk angin. I cannot open my eyes”

Masuk angin, indeed. Hahaha

6) #kampit had some jalapeño chips despite reminder from me that it’s quite hot.

Lepas makan, datang kat mak and said “mak, tongue on fire!”

Like am gonna do anything except saying “dah tu?”

Coz mak refuse to do anything, she went to abah and cry “abah, need some water!”

Yes, your momma #savageaf
Cepat sikit blajar makan pedas tuu

7) Been a hectic week for both hubs and I. For the first time in yearssss both of us got home quite late. Yes, 8pm is quite late lah. Last time this happened, we were staying at my mom’s, so there were uwan and acu to fill the gap. These days, it’s only us.

Two days ago my anak bertuah had this to say once she saw me home. “kakak sakit kepala la mak dgn abah asyik balik lambat je”. Broke my heart when she said that. So I told her I need to work. I want to buy her all the pretty things in the world. That smiggle bag. Coloring books, unicorn whatever, huge cakes, that starbucks pasta, when suddenly..

“kakak nak smiggle pencil box?”

*bunyi cengkerik*

“OK, TAPI KALAU HILANG MAK TAK BELI LAGI DAH OK? JAGA ELOK2!”

Dasar anak bertuah ambik kesempatan 🙄🙄

8) Was waiting for anak bertuah to finish her milk. This is the smallest box ever. Went to prep for dinner whilst waiting. 15 minutes went by sampai maknya tersedar, eh lamanya nak habiskan susu.

Mak: kakak, dah habis minum ke belum?
Anak bertuah: ……
Mak: dah habis minum ke belum tuuuu??
Anak bertuah: …..
Mak: hey, dengar ke tak mak tanya ni? Dah habis minum ke belum?
Anak bertuah: dahhhh
Mak: then buang la kotak cepat
Anak bertuah: *datang dapur to throw the rubbish sambil bagi soalan cepumas* MAK, MAK GERAM KE?

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

now, where is my nobel prize untuk tahap sabar 10/10 ++ 🌟??? MANA??

9) Was experimenting with my usual nasi goreng earlier this morning, and failed big time. In come my anak bertuah (yes, i do have one of those unfortunately) with the ultimate question..

“mak ni tau masak ke tak?”

😑😑😑😑

Fine, petang ni korang je lah masak ok?

10) Kampit was asking why mak’s rantai so small. Asked her to check with abah, why mak’s rantai so small.

Dengar dari jauh dia bebel to her dad “abah, why rantai mak so small?” like a true kak nam 🤭

After a while she came back to me.

Mak: dah tanya abah why so small?
Kampit: dah. Abah said if buy you bigger rantai, nanti mak jadi old.
Mak: 😑😑😑

Cis. Missed opportunity di situ.

Yep, that’s my anak bertuah

Accrual 101 for non finance personnel

Posted this on fb exactly a year ago. Think it’s worth to be posted here too. So enjoice!

Hai uols! Bersempena ahkak kena buat year end tahun ni, ahkak nak buat amal jariah sket lah. Selalu kita asyik dengar training technical for non technical personnel khuen? Malam ni ahkak nak bagi training (training kata kau takat 2/3 perenggan?). Accounting for non finance personnel. Gittewww
Hot topic masa year end ni, tak lain tak bukan adalah.. accrual. Ekcherli tetiap month end pun hot topic, tapi year end ni lebih terserlah lagi. 
Accrual 101. Ok, konsep accrual ni senang je chuols. Basic concept dia adalah untuk capture cost based on activities done. Ingat tu, based on activities done. Orang kampung ahkak sebut VOWD. Value of work done. So if job dah buat, ataupun chuols dah order barang ke service ke, kiranya cost dah incur lah, sungguhpun invoice belum dapat lagi, boleh accrue. Tapi ni untuk barang or service yg pakai untuk tahun ni je lah. Kalau order barang/service untuk tahun depan, jangan accrue tahun ni pulak. Accrue la tahun depan. Accrual ni di pakai bila cost dah jalan, tapi invoice tak kunjung tiba lagi. Maklum lah, ada vendor terlebih kaya, kosser nak bill kita khuen? Ada jugak vendor yang lembab. So, ikut lah korang dapat vendor yg macam mana. So, selagi tak dapat invoice yg dah diapprove, cost tu kena accrue. 
Accrual ni tak sama dengan budget ya. Ingat tu semua. Ahkak ulang lagi skali ni. Accrual TAK SAMA dengan budget. So, if budget korang tak habis pakai tahun ni, sila jangan memandai pegi accrue amount tu dengan harapan boleh diguna pakai tahun depan. Tak ada fahaman accounting (yg haluan kanan mahupun haluan kiri) yang pakai konsep ni ok? Senang citer, uols buat je lah budget baru. Sungguhpun nanti akan mendapat cercaan dari tuan tanah sebab tak buat budget betul2, itu adalah lebih baik dari menggunakan konsep accrue budget tahun ni untuk pakai tahun depan. Baru lah cemerlang, gemilang & terbilang. 
Ok, sapa2 yang tak accrue or salah accrue tu, esok sempat lagi. Tapi sampai esok je lah. Lusa dah nak tutup buku. Friday half day. Eh. 
Sehingga berjumpa di lain siaran, doa ahkak semoga chuols semua sempat betulkan accrual chuols yang dah hantar ke Finance, dan terus istiqomah menggunakan konsep accrual based on VOWD. Amin.

Smartphone Usage

Despite using one of the most canggih smartphone in the market, my smartphone usage is only limited to a few apps. Been using Sony’s for a number of years now. Even the kids are using them, courtesy of their lovely mother *points to self * The downside of having that guilty feeling for having to spend too much time at the office. 

Anyhoo, the top list of apps being used by moi is as per below:

1) whatsapp and (sadly) office email – the two apps often used, anywhere anytime

2) instagram – to use when I wanna buy things (lelong, ebay, amazon is so 2010 and late) and to feed my current obsession on washi tapes, moleskine and gong yoo. Not necessarily in that order, mind you. Ahem. 

3) twitter – if i need to feed my need for cyber drama, this is the apps to go to. The people in there will argue on everything under the sun. One can also meet countless knows-it-all and holier-than-thou. 

4) fb, carousel – if am reaaaaaaallllyyyyy bored and have ample time to kill. 

5) google – to read online books. Yes, I have become cheap liddat. 

Alright, that’s about it. Come to think of it, I dun really need a canggih phone for all the above kan? Wait, don’t answer that question. 

Till I have more insightful things to blab, this is it. See you again errm, next year? Yeah, next year sounds about right. 

Toodles! 

Eid Mubarak 2016

From us; Nazaro, Ateen, Kampit Beras & Adik Sado 😉😉 

Today

is the day I laugh all the way to the bank. Like really laughing.

Knowing I got bigger chunk than you definitely made the 10 years of waiting worth it. Owh yes, most definitely. Hahahahaha

4 Months..

So my boy is 4 months old now. How time flies. Been neglecting this blog for the longest time. Having two kids really put your life into perspective. Blogging is righttt down at the bottom of the list nowadays. Not that I dun have something to blog about. I just dun have the time to do so. Heck, even 24 hours in a day doesn’t seem enough on certain days.

Aaaaanyway, am here to talk about these four months. Umar is so different from kampit. I mean, he’s definitely bigger than kampit. Have mild (ha!) temperament compared to kampit, except when he’s super sleepy or hungry. I believe he’ll start walking sooner than kampit too seeing his tendency of always trying to get up at any given opportunity. The only complain I have so far is getting him to sleep for more than half an hour during daytime. Haihhh.

Owh, and back to being unemployed for now. Just my luck I guess, to always have the chance of being unemployed whenever I have a baby. Hehe. Taking care of two babies really taught me about patience, something which I never thought I have it in me. So, yeah. I kinda like this arrangement. Sure, by sundown I will be very tired but no amount of money can compare to the joy of playing skip hop with your toddler. ☺

Here’s to another 8 months before Umar turns a year old. My only hope for him is that he’ll do his namesake proud. 😘

Grief

The worst kind of grieving is when you can’t shed any tears and have to be strong for your little ones.

Have been more than a month now, and not a day passes by where I don’t miss you.

I pray you will be placed among those whom He favours. Al fatihah.

My cheeky monsters

Less than a week now before i pop. Though this will be a second time around, am still a lil bit nervous of the coming c sec. 😅😅

Today marks the first time kampit taking a trip without me. Went to seremban to attend hubs cousin wedding. The whole family went except for me, seeing my conditions. Was a bit worried that she’d get cranky and what not, but from the pics hubs sent to me, seems like she’s having the time of her life. The only hiccup so far is when she cried buckets when pulled back from the dais coz the actual bride and groom were about to sit there. Sho glad I wasn’t around. Buat maluuuu saja. Hoh

Now the thing that irked me most now that I have the whole day (well, almost) to myself is that I cuden even sleep. Not even a wink. Right now, am sitting in front of the stupid box waiting for hubs to send me more pics of kampit while watching CSI marathon. 

Ok, show’s about to get really good. And here’s a pic of the two cheeky monsters. U take care midgets! Taaa

Word!!

So finally I got what was due to me since yonks ago. Alhamdulillah. Saw this quote on FB yesterday. How apt.

So yeah midgets, always believe in Him for He is most just. ☺

What’s your name?

We went for a check up last week and the doctor confirmed that this one will be boy. Alhamdulillah

My prayers have been answered. Am really hoping for a boy this time. Heck, I was hoping for a boy the last time. Nevertheless, am still grateful for kampit. Owh, she is such a joy to watch now. So cheeky and so like her father. *grins*

Now we have been talking about baby names. I kinda love the name Umar. As in Umar Al Khatab. Both grammas however aren’t too keen with the name, saying that it cud be a tad too heavy/mighty for the baby to live up to.

I love the name hoping that he will grow up to be a firm, just person. Someone who’s not a pushover and who will give no quaters when he sees shit. Know wot I mean?

Owh well, we’ll see. There is still a few more months to go. Here’s hoping that everything will go as smoothly as possible and I won’t get as big as a house. Hehe
