Cerita Itu Ini

hmm.. banyak betul benda nak di story-tell kan (maklumla, dah lama tak memblog), tapi tatau nak start mana.. well, maybe i should start with...

'Banjir Besaq @ Umah Wan'
sabtu lepas, ard 10pm, hujan mencurah2 kat luar, mak n abah on the way balik dari kelantan... ktrg br je msk bilik, konon nak tidokan anak2.. tiba2 hubby rasa lantai basah mcm air tumpah.. bukak2 pintu bilik.. tgk kat luar dah banjir hall umah.. air hujan mencurah2 turun dari atap hall tv... cepat2 ktrg panggil sume adik2 yg ada kat umah (ebah, anip, faiz, eman) selamatkan barang2 (termasuk tlg mengangkut anak2 yg dah kekecohan dalam bilik)..sekelip mata jer air dah mengalir sampai habis satu rumah banjir kecuali bilik mak dgn bilik smayang.. disebabkan panic, tak la terpk nak tolak air ker, cover kain baju dgn plastic ke, panggil tukang ke, sume tu mak abah yg buat bila derang sampai umah (betapa pendek nye akai ktrg nih.. kitorang pk atap tercabut, x mampu dah nak selamatkan, habisla roboh ceiling ni).. bila tukang sampai..... check2.. jeng jeng jeng,, terjumpa bola nijad yg sizenya ngam2 utk tutup lubang gutter (longkang atap).. angkat2 je bola tu.. bbhhreewww.. air turun mencurah2 ... bersorak sakan org2 kat atas tu. sapa nak sangka kerana bola nijad sebiji habis sebuah rumah banjir..

maka esoknya sibukla sumer org mengemas rumah... jemur carpet.. angkat tilam, basuh sidai baju, mop lantai dan sebagainya.. aku?? hmm... aku?? definitely cannot extend a helping hand, dlm pantang la katakan.. takleh angkat brg berat.. and even if i do, it wont bring any good to anyone as my kids will trouble others.. well, i was glad that i have my maid around to help mak.. at least ada someone yg blh laksanakan tanggung jawab aku.. while aku sibuk dgn anak..

'Hand, Foot & Mouth Desease (HFMD)'
few days later, nijad started to have a fever.. i thot a normal one but when he started scratching his feet.. i knew this is more than a normal fever.. went to clinic and true enuff.. it is hand, foot & mouth desease (HFMD).. i know nothing about HFMD.. and i started to panic... mula la terpk pasal coxsakie, ICU, quarantine... googled it and found out that it is a common desease among kids.. nothing much to worry.. mcm demam campak bih kuang.. the next day, it infected najya.. pheww... this week will be disastrous.. definitely they both akan meragam.. yes, they surely did.. and definitely takleh hantar dekt mama nisah (takut infect others), so i have to take care of them at home.. and in the same time i've got to keep Nufayl away from them.. from the virus.. my back sores very badly now.. sakit blakang pregnant blum hilang.. dtg sakit blakang sbb dukung budak2 ni yg asik merengek...hubby pun amik cuti nak tolong ummi jaga anak2... sib baik.. and sib baik jugak ada maid (~~again..~~)

'Maid.. or rather.. a Helper??'
owhh.. aku blum citer pasal maid.. i've got a cambodian maid, age 18.. life is much much much easier with her around.. dulu sampai tension2 nak tidurkan anak.. esp on weekends.. sampai hilang nikmat sabtu ahad sbb penat mengurus anak.. lepas tidurkan sorang, sorang lagi, pastu by the time sorang lagi dah tido sorag tadi bangun and on it goes.. phewww... dah la masing2 berat 10+, kadang2 nak tdo berdukung plak... soooo tiring.. now, aku tidurkan sorang, dia tidurkan sorang lagi. bila dua2 dah tido.. aku pun leh rehat/tido.. and dia sambung kerje2 rumah/ tolong mak.. @ nite.. ard 9-10, i'll lock ourselves in the room to sleep and let her rest, hoping tt she'll be fully recharged the next day... kdg2 aku rasa dia lg penat kat umah banding aku.. haruskah aku rasa bersalah? or shld i expect that for what i've paid? however, no matter how much ease does she brings.. i do sometimes hope tt i've never need to hire her.. i so want us (me n hubby) to raise our kids ourself.. but i so well aware tt we couldnt do it on our own.. How I am counting yrs to be free from maid clinging ard.. :P

'Pay Back Time'
talking about maid, aku rasa lega jugak ada maid ni sbb boleh mengurangkan beban mak kat umah.. skarang mak tak payah worry pasal kain baju sidai lipat sumer.. or pinggan mangkuk nak basuh every time ada tetamu.. or lantai yg tak berkilat sbb lama tak mop.. or carpet yg kotor tak ber vaccuum... or mengemas dapur sesudah masak.. sumer tu dah boleh mintak maid tlg buatkan.. aku tau aku tak mampu nak balas jasa mak n abah.. x sudah2 nyusahkan mak abah aku nih.. dulu masa blaja duk ngan parents... skang dah kawen pun duk ngan parents.. anak ramai plak tu.. penin mak abah tgk.. though they say they enjoy the existence of kids @ home.. i know, they surely feel tired.. melihat jer pun dah rasa penat.. apatah lagi menjaga.. especially if i have to work late @ nite.. hmmm.. bila la aku boleh really enjoy the payback time, like really paying back.. what i give to mak abah, surely is no match to what they've done for me.. pernah jugak terpk.. mcm mana kalau aku pergi dulu sblm mereka? mcm arwah nora? nauzubillah.. it will only add burden to them.. though husband ada.. tapi mak surely felt more responsible towards the kids.. and at this age.. she doesnt deserve this kind of burden...

hmm.. i've got a lot more to tell.. but @ this very moment, najya is clinging on me. for about half an hr already... sleeping, tak nak tido bwh,, nak berdukung... sakitnye la blakang ni.. sapa2 nk tlg urut???
