another update

so much for my updating this blog regularly sampai kena tegur dengan sri..asyik mata panas jer..hahahahha. these are some of the events that happened between then and now.


1.well, my computer is still down. called a couple of places here to see if they carry spare motherboard or chip and none has it. they only sell a complete system that run for hundreds of dollars. apa dah..i only need too swap the cards. so maybe tomorrow, can get the name of the shop in kansas city and get what we need. turns out that we need new motherboard and new ram and new power supply and a lot of new things. maklumlah our system is 6 years old built on an obsolete hardware..sdram and what not. anyway, we better get it fix quick because i hate having to come to the library and scan the documents that needed scanning.

2.remember i blame sean for losing the adapter to the digicam..well, i have to take that back. actually i am at fault..hahahhaah. i went to plug it behind the shelf and left it there thinking that since it is already at one place, no need to go hunting around for it kan..well, goes to show that leaving it at a place where nobody touches pun can make you go hunt for it everywhere. so digicam back online. took a few pics, but cannot download to the main system. reason see above. lap top ada but not reliable. every now and then can use it but have to smack the keyboard hard to make it come on and also after it crashes.

3.we got a new vehicle on the advice of our attorney. we had a 13 year old nissan that runs well, but biasalah minor problems here and there. so we got ourselves a honda fit or what over there you'd call jazz. like the hatchback..not as powerful as the nissan but gets good gas mileage and very roomy in the interior. hugs the curves nicely too. and because it is a brand new car, sean has taken extra precautions against getting it dirty..like putting towels on the backseat before putting in the car seat for sarah and the booster seat for sarina...no eating or drinking is allowed in the car....but i had to make sean break that rule sebab it is ridiculous for him to take long drives with him and not let us eat snacks..ceh!...these are some of the reasons why i do not like owning a new car sebab when it is new..every little scratch kira cam terguris hati gitu...for sean lah not me..i tak kisah sangat..we have children and children are messy..hahahhaa. anyway, to him that is his second wife..lantaklah..

4. we got ourselves a new kitten twice. twice because, we got furby, two weeks ago. he is like 5 weeks old and got him from the humane society. cutest little thing..nothing but a big belly and all fur. he's the long haired type and when he eats..he gets his face really dirty. and talking about children being messy..same for kittens. his face will be caked with dried food..have to wash his face with wet towel everyday. i managed to convince sean that i needed another cat..one that is small so that we can train him to be like mr.b..hehe. ni kira just in case mr.b pass away lah..not that he is that old..but just because i wanted a kitten.

we got another one today..this one sean doesn't know about it yet and i bet he is going to flip. the upside of living apart..hahahhaa..i can do whatever i want when he is not around. but he is coming back tonight and the new kitten will be coming back from the vet tomorrow..so maybe i can sneak her into the basement and let her live there for a while eh..hahaha...and act all serprais when sean sees it...kitten?..in our basement?..oh my god it's a miracle...hahahhahaha. sarah lah found this kitten under our deck and for some reason, the kitten likes her and she managed to hold it. will tell you about her antics later. so, we now have 5 cats...well, the last one pending..maybe kalau sean merajuk..i taruk kat rumah sebelah lah..hehehe

5.i know this is repetitive..but have to include this point which is so very valid. have i told you that the girls are driving me nuts? anyway, managed to get new photos of them taken by the local photographer. you can see them here. anyway, this morning, i got up and started working outside. the small garden that i have on the side needed watering. i was tooling around when sarina came out. she just woke up. asked her where sarah was and she said that sarah's inside. so didn't think much about it. then i went in and the phone rang. the library had called. first thing i thought that i had gotten my schedule mixed up and had forgotten to go to work. nope..that wasn't it. deb said, sarah is there..and i went like..sarah?...ni sarah mana ni yang i ada appt kat leberi and din't remember about it. i asked deb..my sarah..yep..susan called and yes she is down there with susan in her pjs...lahhhhhhhh...so walked over to the leberi and there she was..sitting down with susan, reading a book in her dora the explorer nyer pyjamas and flip flops...lah mak......apa lagi sarina kene berleter lah..this is all her doing ..she will go out of the house without telling me and then now sarah dah terikut. that and the fact that she failed to mentioned to me till later that she told sarah that i was at work when sarah first got up..tak ker nak cari nahas si kakak ni kan...then..still the same day ni..lat an hour or so...i got out of the office and was looking around for sarah. couldn't find her...yelled at the top of our lungs and i can hear her but canot pin point the source of it. then i heard the screen door to the back creaking...SHE WAS OUTSIDE AGAIN ALL BY HERSELF...

wahhhhhhhh....macam nak bukak pencak silat that time jugak lah dengan si sarah ni..but then terside tracked sebab she pointed out to this cutest little kitten. sejuk kejap hati..but still kena berleter one..after that incident..she i tak kasi can habis..has to be where i can see her all the time. sarina is the same way..too adventurous and very independent. alih2 jer kat atas pokok lah...ride her bike a block away lah..this idea lah that idea lah... and kalau she takut kena marah..she will send her emissary dulu to test the water. like last night..sarah came down saying that she's hungry and would like to have a granola bar..i said nope..to late for that..she will then yell at sarina..sarina mommy said now...we cannot have the granola bar..then when i confront sarina..mati2 tak mengaku..hehehe..bak kata my parents..perangai dalam kocek lah...except pat saraj walking to the library by herself. nasib baik it is just 2 houses down..and the ppl at the library know her..tak ker gabra kalau i didn't work there and they do not know who i am..

6.my cats are doing okay..well thing and mr.b..actually both of them are suffering from the same allergy. that is why they have excessive dander and are shedding like crazy. so not a growth like i thought it was..phewwww!..syukur alhamdullilah..lega sikit. so the vet kasi diorang antibiotic and so far it looks a lot better. thing was cool jer. spot was cagey when we brought them to the vet for annual vaccination. mr. b nyer turn i had to work so sean took him..apa lagi..he went and peed in the carrier..our most scaredy cat..he is at 19 pounds. and sean said..well at least he is lighter...told sean he is still overweight..like the both of us..hahahhaa. but mr. b at his heaviest topped the scale at 21 pounds. my friends all love him..said how beautiful he is..and yes mr. b is beautiful..heheheh. cuma now i takut dia kena fatty liver jer...like what hobbes got..that was what did it for her..too fat a cat is not good. but dunno how to make mr. b lose weight now...but we'll see..so long as he is healthy that is all i ask.

anyway...dah too long an entry pulak...i know kena tagged by hartini..will do it once i am done with my duties kat sini eh :) also next time will let you know on how i cope with being away from sean for the first week..hehehhe.

to all of you happy weekends :)

Rosma, baru this morning ada bapak budak at my workplace ni merungut about pc. He went to a shop and they quoted him SGD700 to replace motherboard and whatever lagilah. He said with that kind of money, he might as well add a bit and get himself a new pc.

Hope you'll get yours fixed real soon.

Away from Sean kira "merdeka" lah sekejap eh :) My sis Ina Banana will also be left with her son when her hubby goes to Hong Kong next week for 3 weeks. I told her kira "Freedom" lah and enjoy whilsts it lasts..heh..heh.

Nasib baik tak terbukak pencak silat eh...tak tau silat pun boleh TER-tau. So funny lah Sarah ni. Teringat satu cerita kat TV pasal seorang bapa yang kena Alzheimer. Dia keluar rumah end up at his neighbour then the neighbour called his daughter lah. Apa lagi,kena marah lah orang tua tu. Kesian..whether org tua or budak2..jgn sampai bukak pencak silat lah ya..hehhee..sabar2 kan diri. Sabar2 kan Sean jugak when he finds out about the kitten!!

yara..ah ah..that is so outrageous.. tu lah call around here they quoted stuff for over $700..mana lah..bilang kat diorang i tak nak monitor and gedebak gedebuk..so in the end i got something online for $400 something, that includes the software and virus protection. although it is a refurbished one but at least ada 1 year warranty..so if anything goes wrong..it is nothing that we cannot fix this time..hahahah. well insyallah anyway..and yes you are right..sean takder intially akward jugak..but now..it like ' merdeka! merdeka! merdeka!'..hahahahha. can take the girls and watch a movie without feeling guilty leaving him behind :P

kak za..tu lah si sarah ni..ada jer buat kelaku..hehe. but kelakar jugaklah dia..something about her makes me cam tak sampai hati nak pukul but sometimes..mmg mintak kena pukul..sarina sudah lah... dia nyer berleter cam professional nagger lah..hahha. reminds me of myself sebab what i utter to her..itulah yang dia marahkan balik kat sarah...and alhamdullilah..sean takder lah melenting about the new cat :)

apalah sharil ni..takder hujan takder ribut..alih jer suruh i call you. cuba kasi comment kat sini ker..aper ker..ni kasi orang suspen betul lah..hehe..so have you emailed me the details ker belum ah?...

lin..alah kesian nyer..laptop sakit..i can empathise lah..hati sakit pun mmg i really can empathise..sebab hati i pun tengah bengkak jugak. but insyallah, you will be orait eh..sabar jer..i ni pandai bilang orang sabar..but sendiri ah kau terpekik terlolong kat basement..hehe.you takut kucing eh? my dad and a brother of mine takut kucing..tak tau kenapa..maybe it is the fur i think..but sometimes i can see my father petting arul my old cat..

sri..mmg sarah ni bijak pandai..termasuk sarina..hahah..pandai buat mak dia melenting lah..hahaha. but tulah sib baik rumah dekat seh..kalau have to cross the road..alamak kan ke aniaya tu..ishh..sarah ni nak kena ikat lah dengan tali..hehe. ingatkan pagi tadi nak tepon you..but nengok time..dah terbang dah..so maybe next week eh :) malam karang sean balik..and besok tak tau apa pulak kiter nak buat :)

nora..mmg bertambah..sib baik this house is pretty big lah..so tak nampak the number of cats that i ahve and also since sarina is older..she dah pandai bersihkan the kitty litter for the kittens. i do the big one and she does the small one..hehe. tu lah yang i takut tu..keluar sorang2 and i didn't even know about it..apa lah si sarah ni..can smile at me sumore bila i sampai kat leberi. oh first night..i tak leh tido lah..cam komedi i nengok myself..tido tak tido pukul 3 pagi..the second night pun sama..now the tird week..kira dah orait sikit lah..just looking forward to his nightly calls :)
