Selamat tinggal, atuk.
Moga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh atuk.
Amin.

dalam kenangan..
atuk and me..

my gramps passed away on Sunday, 09 November 2008.
the day that he passed away, mom, dad, aunty yon, uncle razak and bai went to SGH to see atuk..
on that day, love's having a game but it was cancelled..
so we decided to go to vivo city to window shop since i'm getting my pay soon..
then we're just tired to walk around, so we take the train to city hall..
in the middle of the ride, he like, doesn't feel that good about atuk..
cause on saturday, he was warded, this time for the very last time..
and thought of visiting him since all of them are there..
but when i called up mama, they were already going home and it's too late for us to visit..
then mama say, "Alah, wed kau off kan, kite jumpe atuk la".
seems that i will never get that chance anymore..

we reached city hall, went around, bought CDs and donuts from the Donut Factory..
and took 10 home..
Mr BF stay for a while, cause he wana watch our Europe trip video..
the video ends exactly at 11pm and exactly at 11 pm, mama got a call from the hospital..
saying that her father is not doing to well, if you could come down, can u bring his NRIC as well..
then we were like, "Why would they want to ask for the IC?"
from that moment on, we know something is definitely not right..

on our way there, mama cried silently in the car..
i hold on to her, massaging her..
i can say that, during that time, we know..

uncle razak, fetched the three of us, mama, me and Mr BF..
we reached the ward, and his bed was covered by curtain..
tears filling my eyes during that point of time..
the nurse came over to us and informed that the doctor will be with us shortly..
she came over, confirming if these are the family..
then she broke the news to mama,

"Your father has passed away (by this time, mama was already in tears) but not to worry, he went peacefully and smoothly. He was not in pain on his last breath. He refused to wear the oxygen mask. It looks like he knows and willing to go. I'm sorry for your loss, jus wana let u know that, he was definitely not in pain and he passed on smoothly."

by this time, me and mama cried but we don't moan.
we cried not because he's gone, we redha that he went back to Allah..
we are just sad that we were not there on his last breath..

we arrange for the casket from Takdir, since the owner is a family friend..
and we can bring back the body on that night itself..
by the time, his idiotic wife (she is not my gran, my gran passed away before i was born) came with her family..
then my pak long, nad and abg chal came..

i called up my TLs, took urgent leave for 2 days..
thank god, they understand and approved it..
so i will not be working for three days, since wed i'm having my off day..
guess, i'll be coming back on thursday..
for now, i just need to be with my mom..

an hour later, the casket van came and we brought the body home..
ard 3 plus, we have reached bedok..
abg chal, pak long, busu, Mr BF, uncle luqman and the Takdir guy carried atuk to his bed..
they bace yassin for him..
i was having my menses during that day so i can't read..
i just bace fatihah and other surahs for him..

daddy came over around 3:30am..
after that, we slept there until 5:30am..
uncle razak went home to get the kids..
so he fetched me, mama and Mr BF home..

once home, mama asked us to get a nap first..
took some pillows and blanket for love since he's sleeping at our sofa..
after i tucked him in, i went to sleep in my room..
mama woke me up at 7 plus to get ready..
instead, i woke him first since he's the fastest to get ready and all..

we're out by 7:35..
bought some flowers at the market and had a quick breakfast at Kadir..
and we took cab to bedok..
during that time, they tengah mandikan mayat..
he wait outside, while the anak daras help the elderly to buat the flower to put at the coffin..
after da mandi, it's to tabur the pacai and saying our goodbyes before the body to be put in the coffin..

love joined the rest of the guys to sembahyang kan jenazah..
the coffin was placed at the void deck and we say our final prayers..
and then, it rains so heavily which makes my mom cried even more, with all my aunties surrounding her..

we all followed to the cemetery..
the guys help to carry the body and we gals just followed behind..
my uncles and my dad brought the body down and we listened to the talkin.
i duno why but i feel at peace after he's been buried..
alhamdulilah, die selamat die kebumikan..

we went back to the house..
overwhelmed by the amount of guests coming to give their condolences..
later on, we received flowers by PSA who send their condolences as well..
my pak long works at PSA, so yeah..
i showed mama the flowers and she was touched..

ard 4 plus, daddy send Mr BF back to ur house since he left his things there..
after he solat asar, he send Mr BF back to his house..
and sayang, thank you for sacrificing ur sleep and energy to be with us..
we really appreciate it..





and thanks to you all for the takziah, calls and messages..
it's a sad moment for us of course but we're coping well..
alhamdulilah..

[-Gals Nite Out-]

kak ayu has been planning this since last few weeks..
it was during fasting month i can remember it correctly..
so today, we manage to get everyone in the same shift..
me, yuhana (kak ayu), fara and erfa were on morning shift..
so that leaves najiha who is on the noon shift but she swap for this outing..
i couldn't thank you enough, for sacrificing ur allowance!
but erfa was the spoiler! LIKE BIG TIME!!

apparently, she already had plans with her twin sister who is getting a job and she just wants to be with her other half before she being tied down from work.
once the clock strikes 6:30, they were all in middle waiting to sign out..
i was the last one to pack cause i need to escalate a case to another department..
after that, we're off to our lil outing..

yuhana was thinking of amirah's but we end up at Al Majjlis (however u all spelt it)
the place was kind nice and cozy..
and by the time, it was a full house..
but of course, we are not bother by them and we just chill out and laugh out loud like we own the place..

we were so enjoying ourselves, fooling around, eating (damn! the food is marvellous), gossiping..
i was having a budget since i haven't got my pay and my 'sisters' belanja me for now..
hehehehe..
so since kak fara belanje me, i thought of getting the cheapest in the menu..
but she didn't allow me and ordered Fish Kebab for me since they all know i love fish!
and we had some side dish ( i remember the name yesterday but now i forgot )
afterwards, they sheesha-ing..
i didn't of course.. ( u guys must be like swearing and swearing )
not that i dun wan to try, it's just that i just dun wan.. okay?
i dun tink i lose anything by not trying and the smoke really can kill me man!
hahahahha..
anyway, i was busy laughing and najiha's jokes..
that blooody makcik ah, really can crack me up anytime sia..

i received a msg from Mr BF, telling me that they are sending ibu to Raffles Hospital and immediately i called him up to know what happen..
i was enjoying with my gals but at the same time, keep worrying about ibu..
but alhamdulilah, it's nothing serious, maybe just some virus infection..

there's these group of diverse people (fara assume that they are chat buddies)..
by the way how they dressed up, they just dun belong to a clique, if u get what i mean..
so coming back, it was one of their frens' burfdae and they were issuing a slice of cake to each table..
but because we are so full of food, fun, laughter, craps, shits and all, we couldn't even get the chance to taste it..
cause by the time, fara was already on the fone calling a cab..
so najiha send the cake back to them and one of them actually was having interest in najiha..
hehehehehe.. ( u jolly well dun deny it ah, naj )

by the time, we went down, the cab was there waiting for us..
and yuhana had to wait for uncle taufik to fetch her home..
since the 3 of us are staying in tampines, so it was quite convience for all of us..
and we had a kewl cab driver as well..
it's just our lucky day or wat??

Yummy Yuhana & Fairy Fara

Meany Mary and Naughty Najiha

browsing thru the menu..
thinking of what's best to eat..

a quick shot of yours truly..

she really loves to sheesha, i tell ya!

Definitely, there WILL BE a next time! *wink wink*

[-A Date With Mom and Mr BF-]

finally my long weekends are here!!
so i'm not working from sat to mon..
3 days in a row!!
u gotta love working in StarHub..
even though i'm working shifts, i tell ya, i enjoy working my noon shift!
but of course i prefer morning shift even though there's allowances for noon shift..

so today, went to town with mommy and Mr BF..
he's having his test today so after the test, he came by and chill for a moment..
after zohor, we all excluding daddy, since he went out wif his fren, head to TAKA..
i got my TAKA vouchers last week and of course i'm excited..
can shopping at TAKA w/o using my cash money!
hehehehe..
one of the benefits of working in SH..

took train to Orchard and we had our lunch at Sakura..
mommy ordered chicked diced fried rice..
i had claypot tom yam noodle
baby ordered beef chia siew & wanton noodle..
plus chicken spring roll (M) for our side dish order...

with the bloated stomach, we window shop all the way to TAKA..

went round and round, have no idea what to buy..
thought of buying my make-up at Bobbi Brown but on second thoughts i can use the vouchers for something else..
next, is the wardrobe selection, as in the ladies department..
nothing caught my eye so we proceed on the bags section..
we feel like getting the whole section of the bags!!
eliminating those ugly ones, of course!!
thought of getting wallets for myself..
but i changed my mind..
then mommy "shoe section", so we took the escalator down..
variety range of shoes..
but one particular shoe caught my eye..
very unique and classic shoe..
it looks like man shoe but the lady version..
these two designs..
i ask sizes for those two, tried the first pair..
was alryte, but it looks quite big for my feet..
then tried the next pair, PERFECT!
both of them agreed on that pair and i proceed on paying the shoe!
lucky got discount, plus it can be used together with the TAKA voucher..
so i save $10 of my TAKA voucher..
wee!! and i just have to pay $1.90 cash money..
better than nothing ryte??

after that we walk out of the building, thinking of going home..
so thought of buying OCK and take 65..
while on deciding where to go home or not, we bumped into Deya and her boyfie..
i didn't notice her, but i saw love smiling at someone and it turn and it was her!
hahahaha..
chit-chat a bit and she went off to Paragon? ryte? if i hear you correctly ah..
hehehehehe..
we decided to go to vivo..
so we sent mommy to the bus stop at 65, wait till the bus arrived, watch over her, once she is seated and the bus is off, we took 65 on the other side to vivo..
just love going to vivo la, dunno why..
walk around for 2 hours, last stop at toys'r'us..
OMG, Monopoly is having a sale for only $31.95!!!
i really really really wana buy!!
i can't wait for my pay, hope it's still at the discounted price!

bought a dozen of donuts home and big bottle of mineral water..
there's few famous amos cookies left from just now..
ouh, i bought 100 gm of butterscotch n pecan before we shop at TAKA..
so imagine, i was munching and at the same time i was looking around for something to buy..

and we took 65 hoe, just like the old times..
heheheheh..
his parents pick him up from my house and they went sempang!


End of Story..


*wink wink* :-D
