You know how much it hurts you when you are on the verge of achieving something and suddenly there come someone who have this I-KNOW-IT-ALL attitude comes along and take it away from you? It happened to me today. God, this person really annoys me more and more each day. This person has never stop from annoying me since the day we had a row over something. OK, let's give this person a name... What about... Snake? Yes, snake it is. Because that is how this person is in real life. A real SNAKE.
Snake is very, very good in acting. When things go wrong, Snake is quick at pointing fingers at someone else. When problems crop up, Snake will poke its neck into it but will not volunteer to help. Thousands of excuses will be given for Snake's unavailability to assist in the situation. I have seen how a fellow friend had to take the responsibility and eventually face the consequences for not being able to get on top of a problem when Snake could have helped to prevent such incident from happening. Snake, being a snake, just kept its mouth shut, and slide away... Perhaps in joy at the expense of someone else's sufferings...
The leader of the current circle I am in didn't know all the misdeeds and the kind of personality Snake has. Again, Snake, being a snake, it is very good in clouding the circle's mind and judgement. I had such high respect for Snake before, but not since the many incidents that I have witnessed - how Snake abandoned a friend for its own good, how Snake would eat others for his own advantage, and how Snake would crush the spirit of others for its own power...
Today, Snake take joy in my defeat... But I believe that the world is round. As the saying goes, what goes around, comes around... Snake, I'll be waiting for the day you crumble... And when that happens, I will not say a word, but I will do what I know you would do best in such situation... Smile... And move quitely away... Then, you'll know the pain we have been through with you in the circle.

In Two Years...
It has been two years since I last wrote anything. Why? Simple... Lazy. I admit, I was just plain lazy. Oh, wait. I was busy too. With work. With life. Work and life. Life and work. Either way, both are important to me. So I just cannot abandon one or the other. Whether I like it or not, I just have to go through it... *sigh*
Anyway, so many things happened within the last two years. Good and bad... Had a new boss. Company changed name. I got pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl (Yay! My wish finally came true! Syukur alhamdullilah...). Sent my maid home because her contract has expired she said she wanted to come back but she lied she never returned she made me wait so long and now I have to look for a new one demmit! (Try reading that last one in a single breath. Difficult? Felt a little pain in tummy? Good. Because that is exactly how I felt with this maid issues). Had a change of role at work. And the most recent one... One of my boys was diagnosed to have been infected by H1N1. So there... Not all were good experiences, but then again, I never regret experiencing the bad ones either. I will try to share the details on some of the experiences I have had within the last two years as and when I can.
But for now, here I am, two years after. Still the same me, only this time I have a little princess in my little family! Ohhh... I just loveeee all that I have right now... =) God is indeed great!

J.O.Y.
Found this in one of the many newsletters that I received, today...
Joy is in release, so thankfully received,
Joy is in sorry, so sweetly mourned and grieved,
Joy is to be found, you find it through yearning,
Joy is in coming and going, waiting and watching, living and learning.

Raya 2008 - The Journey Back to Kampung
I went back to my husband's mom's kampung in Pasir Mas, Kelantan, for Raya this year. Well, we went back there too last year but I didn't enjoy it then as much as I did this year. My boys were very small then - barely a year, and they were sick too. So, we had a pretty rough time. Sick children during festive period?? That is not something that one would like to have.
Now, this year was different. We travelled back to kampung by car (last year by train). We left early on Monday morning (29 Sept), "to avoid the jams at the bottlenecks", my hubby said. We started our journey from my in-laws' house at 0630 hrs. Not many cars yet. We passed Bentong roughly at about half-past 7. Had an argument in the car about the videocam. *sigh*...
Our first stop was at a surau somewhere in Raub, Pahang (I think), to feed Asyraff and bath him. He seemed to enjoy his time there. Aimar, his twin, was still sleeping. Probably tired because he woke up early that morning - so called bangun sahur lah! Done with the feeding and bathing, we packed and made a move. About an hour later we stopped again - at a mosque somewhere (I'm sorry I don't seem to be able to recall the name of the place) after Raub - this time for Aimar to be fed and bathed.
Now, this one stop was not as good as the earlier one. To tell you the truth, the mosque was big and nice on the outside but it was really dirty once you go near the toilets. Goshhh!! The smell!!! And the rubbish! I just cannot believe that some people would just leave their children's napkins like that! Yes, I can understand that it is not easy when we have children travelling on the road, but couldn't they just use their little brains and dispose their baby's diapers properly??? It was a very ugly sight the way they threw the rubbish. OK. OK. Maybe because it was early Monday morning, and the rubbish truck has yet to reach the place to clear them but still??!! GROSS!
Anyway, so we quickly fed Aimar and bathed him. Poor him, he was bitten by the ants while taking his bath at the tap near the rubbish bin (that was the only possible location for us to bath him anyway - the toilets were twice as dirty and they stink! Errghh! ). We continued on with our journey and we reached Gua Musang at about 1330 hrs where we stopped to feed the boys and give them time to do some stretching. We made a brief stop between Gua Musang and Kuala Krai to switch driver. I tell you, I was scared the whole time I was behind the wheel because of the way the other drivers drive their cars and also because of the long and winding road. Goodness! Most of the drivers drove their cars like mad men! No wonder accidents happen!
We switched again not far from Kuala Krai, and we reached Pasir Mas at about 1600 hrs. Ahhhhh....! What a relief...! We dropped by Che Su's stall just to give her a little surprise visit before going to Mek's house. It was an amazing sight - the jams, the number of people going around doing their last minute shopping, but the one thing that excite me was the festive feeling in the air... I felt like a child again...
