Overload

I have been bitten by the worse bug ever - melancholic type M virus.

And M is for malas ekekekekeh.

Just on a much needed break peeps.. like juney, i'm taking it one day at a time :D

Pentas dunia

Fool me once shame on you,
But fool me twice.. shame on me!!!!

Yup i'm a fool alright.

AI's 22

I have indeed been blessed with truly wonderful children.  and their less than peachy childhood have made me realise rather early how fragile life can be and how very precious they really are to me.

 Just like his brother, my second child had his fair share of early childhood trauma - he suffered a stroke at about 10 months and was partially paralysed. alhamdulillah he regained full mobility after just 2 weeks and has been fine since (except for the occasional bouts of asthma, courtesy of his father hehehe).

1989 @ Langkawi with abah & abang

And just like his brother, he has become my other pillar of strength. strength that i depend on whenever their daddy goes on another of his 'disappearing' acts. heck, without my 3 kids i wouldnt have been able to live thru this yo-yo existence another day lol.

Ish ish, anak mama dah besar panjang ek ;p

2010 @ Wadi Samrah.

But still my baby la hehehe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my darling, semoga bahagia sokmo mwaaaaaaah ;D

Pics of birthday dinner @ TGIF...and they took him completely by surprise lol.

In transition

Golfman is in between jobs right now, and being the workaholic that he is, this lull is killing his brain cells bit by bit.

So he gets temperamental sometimes. and i get sentimental.. the perfect combination for fireworks & waterworks ekekekeh ;p

But we manage.  we try to enjoy each other the best we can and keep ourselves occupied in the process.

And what might be our latest pre-occupation?


Hehehe.

Belting out old numbers with friends.

And checking out all the shisha flavours ;p

Ayayaiyayai.. shisha osso can get addicted aah?

Note: shisha joints here should have a cosier, more relaxed atmosphere.. baru ada feel ;p

Its the age

Yup, i guess thats what it is.

I'm an emotional wreck these days.  tersangat la sen-ti-men-tal.. skit2 je berair mata, another level up meleleh air hidung plak lol. and sometimes over the most inconsequential things.

Unstable hormones most certainly. i'm not at the pre-menopausal stage for nothing you know lol.

But its also the sad, melancholic feeling that life is passing me by.  i hit 49 last month which means its just one more year before the big five-o. fifty, separuh abad.. theres something very resolute about the sound of that!!

The family pulled a surprise at a friend's raya gathering.. 

 .. i wasnt supposed to know hehehe

At Wadi Samrah, Janda Baik

Although some would say that its just numbers, its also indicative of how fast the sand in my hour-glass is falling. life has a way of moving relentlessly ahead doesnt it but thats ok, i personally am looking forward to the next phase. a phase where i can sit back, let go of some of the burden that i've been carrying & just focus on growing old, hopefully as gracefully as i can.

Sept 17 - Together with golfman

Aaah, and to be able to share the twilight years with the one you love!! but life has taught me that nothing is a given and i do realise that it might not actually be an aspiration shared by my partner.  he might not be as ready to embrace all the changes that growing old is stringing along in its wake. its not that easy to stare mid-life squarely in the face.

Grey hair? what grey hair? 
 
The one behind your ears la darling ekekekeh ;p

But whatever it is, i choose to bersangka baik. its much easier on the soul that way lol.

And theres still a lot of stuff on my wishlist..  my pilgrimage, travelling the globe, being a granny, trying out a ferrari hehehe. and that means i need to keep myself as fit & healthy as possible.  semoga Kau panjangkan umur ku dalam iman & taqwa ya Rabb.

p.s. errr juney & azza, you people still game on turning me into a marathoner by end of 2011? ;D
