24th & 25th May 2002 was a great days for Azimin & me. Aku & Azimin disatukan as husband & wife. And on 24th & 25th May 2008, genaplah 6 tahun kitaorg hidup bersama....cewah....
We decided to make a different this year. Selalunya, we went for dinner, exchange hadiah... This year, we went for honeymoon. Dekat jer, tak jauh pun. We left Anggun & Alam with my parents and we spent a night at Hilton KL Sentral. Wah!!! The hotel was amazing!!!
We checked-in lepas sembahyang Jumaat (23rd May 2008). Malamnya, we took a monorail to Bukit Bintang, dinner at IZZI. What a great food. Aku recommend korang pergi makan kat sana... Then, shopping kat Pavillion and ronda2 kat Bintang Walk. The next day, baru balik umah... It was a great night. Dah lama sangat tak naik public transport sesama dengan Azimin. Teringat masa bercinta dulu... hehehe...
I really hope this marrige will last forever... To Azimin, I love you so much!!!

MAID Stories...
I would like to tell you guys something about these people who we called as maid, bibik, orang gaji, amah, etc... Nowadays, in Malaysia, I belief that the Indonesian maid is the most popular. Compare to Filiphinos, Cambodian, etc. the Indonesian is the most easiest maid to get, the most cheapest to pay and the most understoodable (ada ker perkataan nie? aku bedal jer!!!) to communicate. Paling kurang pun dia paham la apa yang kita cakap...
My Ex-Maid
This is the story of my own ex-maid. Kali pertama aku ambik maid... terpaksa sebenarnya bila memikirkan my mum terlalu sibuk with her tailoring. She have no problem to take care of Anggun but for Alam, rasanya kalut sangat. We first decided to get my aunty a house @ ENSTEK, so dia boleh duduk dekat dengan aku and tolong jaga mu kids... But then, after a few times jadi and then tak jadi, then jadi balik... lepas tu tak jadi lagi, then we decided to get a maid.
the first agent janji nak bagi maid from Sabah. We paid RM2000 (my own money!!!) and after 4 months rasanya, he senyap and senyap... After pushing him for so many times, he finally return my RM1700 and promised to try to get for me a maid. Kiranya RM300 tu tambang dia nak pergi carik maid kat Sabah and I told him that I will only pay him after he bring me the maid.
after all, we contacted an Indonesian agent directly in Medan. Then, we got the maid. Her name is Dinawati (not sure either this is the actual name or not but this name is registered in her passport). She was ok for the first 3 months. Excellent I can say. But the truth colour only appears on the 4th months. Yelah, warranty period pun dah habis kan?
Working @ my house tak la susah sangat. The priority is to take care of Alam. And every work yang we all suruh dia buat, mesti ada ayat, "KALAU ALAM TIDO NANTI...". During the day time, aku hantar dia + the kids to my mum's house. Aku memang tak percaya dia tinggal kat rumah aku...
People always says that "kalau kita tak percayakan maid kita, kita takkan senang hati nak buat kerja bila teringatkan anak2 kita yang ada dengan dia". So, I tried my very best to trust her...
But she give me shit!!!
1. She always ignore Anggun and raised her voice when Anggun asked her to play with her.
2. She always compared herself with other maids (my friends' maid)
3. She tried to carik pasal with my mum sebab dia tak nak pergi rumah my mum. Dia selalu carik alasan, kononnya dia bengang with my mum... sebab apa? sebab my mum selalu report kat aku pasal dia.
I did asked her once, "salah ke emak saya bagitahu yang awak selalu tak jaga Alam betul2? Salah ke emak saya bagitahu saya yang awak selalu bergayut kat hp? Saya yang bayar gaji awak, saya yang suruh emak saya tengok2kan awak!". Lepas tu, tahu pulak dia jawab, "TAK SALAH."
4. I started to realise yang Anggun & Alam ada timing untuk tido. At first aku rasa bagus jugak diaorg nie... At the end aku tangkap dia yang asyik bagi ubat batuk kat Anggun & Alam supaya diaorg senang tido and senang untuk dia la... Kurang ajar!!! I accidently heard her mentioned, "Lssaknya budak Alam ini. Mari sini makan ubat. Lepas tu boleh tidur." Aku terus jerkah dia... "Baru pukul 10.30 pagi tadi bagi ubat, sekarang nie pukul 12.30 thghari. Berapa kali sehari bagi ubat kat budak2?"
Terkedu dia. Lepas tu, aku memang tak sedap hati. Tapi on the same time, aku and Anggun memang tak sihat. Aku pun makan ubat and lepas tu tidur...
5. Bila bangun dari tido, I saw Anggun was also sleepin in front of the tv. I went to see Alam. Guess what? Alam punya benjol kat kepala punya la besar and lebam hitam warna dia. "Alam jatuh ibu. Dia lasak sangat. Anggun tertolak dia."
I mati2 percaya. Bila Anggun bangun dr tido, malam tu aku slow2 tanya Anggun. Anggun denied it. Dia kata, lepas aku masuk tido, dia pun tertido atas kerusi depan tv. Aku jadi tak sedap hati... I told Azimin about it but then, Azimin pujuk aku jangan ikut sangat hati. So, untuk sedapkan hati kitaorg, we took her words.
After almost 2 weeks, Alam's benjol till there. So many people asked her what happened and guess what? She keep changing her answer... Aku mula syak something wrong. Bila aku keep asking her, dia jadi tak senang duduk...
Azimin & me got some clues from someone (I prefer to mention it as petunjuk). After all, we got to know yg my maid yang benamkan dahi Alam for a few times dekat lantai, tiang katil and bucu almari... So mean!!! Sakit hati aku. Azimin & me straight away decided to terminate her!!!. We went to see doc to get more clear pic of Alam's benjol and doc agreed that Alam bukan setakat jatuh.
That night, we confranted her... Dia memang tak mengaku but after all, aku cakap kat dia.., "saya bagi awak 2 pilihan. 1 - kami hantar awak balik Indon esok. 2- Awak boleh keluar dari rumah saya, lepas tu saya report polis. Kalau awak nak keluar dari rumah saya, malam nie pun awak boleh keluar."
She choose to go back to Indon but requested to go on Saturday. Azimin ok with it. I was not agreed but then, Azimin said, biarlah dia... Aku kalau boleh nak dia keluar malam tu jugak.
We went to imigration to cancell her working permit all the matters but then they need the flight ticket. We went to buy her flight ticket and went back to imigration again. Done!!! When we reached home, aku nampak grill tertutup dari luar and I had a feeling yg dia dah cabut. YES, dia cabut. Aku memang dapat rasa yg dia takkan balik Indon... We made a police report then...
6. she used black magic. My mum ada pernah kata yg dia pernah nampak my maid nie mulut dia terkumat-kamit baca something masa kat umah dia. I belief Alam also SAW something that made him feel so scared. Both my kids tetiba jadi takut dengan my maid. Anggun sampai tak nak suruh my maid buatkan susu..
After all this things happened, I feel so attached my the kids. Anggun jadi macam kawan dengan aku. Alam jadi manja sangat. I'm happy taking care of them. Walaupun penat, rasa PUAS! But Azimin still have in mind to get a maid. Dia risau dia tak dapat pay attention to his research & PhD things. Somemore, out-station banyak... I was not agreed with his idea but then, thinking of his PhD, aku agree tapi bersyarat! I will manage the maid and I will be the boss!!! Earlier, Azimin yang managed the maid sebab mengikut firasat Azimin, aku nie cepat panas baran!!! Dia takut aku dera maid kitaorg. At the end, anak aku yg kena dera!!!
The pic shown tu was after 2 weeks Alam 'jatuh'... Can you imagine the first day Alam 'jatuh'?
Picnic @ PD Part 1
We went to PD with my in-laws and also my sister in-law's family. We never plan it earlier, just main redah jer... Pagi tu, siap2 pack barang sikit2, jalan... senang. Lagipun, PD is just 30 min drive from ENSTEK jer...
Some of the family's pics for your view...
Trip To Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau - 25th Apr To 27th Apr 2008
Azimin & me left ENSTEK @ 9am and we drove directly to Penang to fetch Azimin' s RA (Nizam). While waiting for Nizam (by ferry), we all pun makan lunch dekat area jeti tu... Then, straight pergi Kulim.
We reached Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau dekat pukul 4pm. Sampai sana, most of the UKM delegates dah sampai. After check-in, Azimin & me jalan2 dekat kawasan chelet. Dekat area chelet, memang tak de signal hp, tak kisah la apa line yang korang pakai sekalipun... Actually, petang tu, aku jogging tapi Azimin jalan... hehehe as usual...
Malam, sessi suai kenal and briefing on the project mission and expectation. Rupanya, its not only UKM yang datang, there are some UPM people there... And all the people there is the specialist / researcher on their own area... We have the specialist for flora, fauna, batu, air, architect, sosiologist etc. banyak lagi...
The next day, we all redah naik hutan lipur. seronok jugak... sampai tingkat atas, we all lepak sekejap & ambik gambar (after taking all the non-posing pics!!!). tgh hari tu, we had a meeting with org kampung sekeliling yang terdiri dari cikgu, penghulu (oh my God! penghulu dia muda2 tau...), peniaga, etc... The Q&A session was going on very well.
Lunch time, we decided to go to Hutan Lipur Kelim that located around 10km from Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau to make a comparison. Then, on the way back from Hutan Lipur Kelim, we singgah makan tengahari dekat kedai Kampung Badang. we took the oppurtunity to asked them about the sejarah & legend about that place. This is important for the branding and icon.
Rupanya, depa told us that their kampung name (BADANG) is not the Badang yang org kuat lepas makan muntah hantu air tu... Badang means benda yg diaorg buat untuk tampi padi... La...
I was too tired petang tu sampai tertido... Petang tu, some delegates arrived. I met Prof Madya Dr Hayati & team. She is the specialist for FROG!!!! Can you imagine that? Aku nie pegang katak pun tak berani...
Malam tu, ada discussion with all the delegates. Masa tu, all the group presented their founding, experiences & opinions. And when we told them about the BADANG story, semua gelak!!!
We left Hutan Lipur Bukit Hijau the next morning (Sunday). We sent Nizam to Balik Pulau, Penang. After having lunch @ his house (his family were so nice.. we all makan ketam!!!), then we move to Taiping (my in-law's house). Lepas rehat2, petang tu baru bertolak balik ENSTEK and we reached ENSTEK pukul 12.30am...
Penat? Tok sah cerita la... memang penat!!!
Some pics for you guys. The place was lovely...
AZIMIN Menang Lagi!!!
Azimin memang lagi. This time for the Hari Harta Intelek Malaysia on 24th April 2008 @ KL Convention Centre. UKM sent both inventions (MEST Toilet and Breathing Dorr) but rezeki this time berpihak pada Breathing Dorr.
It was a great day since Azimin only knew that he is one of the finalist. And masa ambik hadiah only he knew yang he won the first runner up. There are a few categories; young inventor, individual and institution. The Breathing Dorr was in the individual category...
We were not able to attend the dinner on Friday night (25th April 2008) since we've to shoot to Kulim on Friday morning.
There are some pics that we managed to take...

Visit To Zoo Melaka - Part 1
I couldn't recalled the exact date on when went to Zoo Melaka but I'm sure masa tu time cuti sekolah yang lepas. Anggun is the one who suggested to visit the zoo. We wanted to go to Zoo Negara earlier but then, some people did mentioned to us yang Zoo Melaka lagi cantik & bagus. So, since we never go to Zoo Melaka, Azimin & me agreed to bring Anggun & Alam there. My parents and my brother went with us as well.
Quite sometimes left Melaka (I love to spell it as MELAKA instead of MALACCA)... Rasa rindu sangat esp bila lalu passed by MOZAC. And believe me, once we passed by Melaka, all the memories tiba2 buat aku rasa sebak. And bila lalu Ayer Keroh, of course teringat tempat Nik Izham kawin (hahahaha...). Nik, if you read this, please apologies me, ok...
I'm too tired to type actually. So, lets the pics speak louder than me...
