Brothers

I have two younger brothers. I'm the eldest and the one and only girl in my family.

It's just the 3 of us growing up together.

My second brother is 2 years younger than me while the youngest is 6 years apart. Well, growing up with boys makes me become 'wild' sister. Haha! Both of them argued a lot when we were kids, especially the youngest one.

But we become close when it comes to games. You see, three of us love playing computer games. We even bought PS2 back then (we shared the money). Now we have PS4 at home and my youngest bro plays it most of the time since he lives with my mom.

Both of my bros are good in making jokes. We love making fun of each other even we have our own family now. But we fight most of the time. Haha!

They helped me a lot when I was having problems with my ex-husband and I'm very lucky to have them both. They're my bodyguards. Even though sometimes we fight about small things, but our bond is very strong. Even my youngest bro always annoys me (same as the second one, actually), but I love him (them, both).

Both of them love collecting watches, sneakers and perfumes (sometimes they asked me to buy them for their birthdays). They love cafe hunting once a month. My second bro lives quite far so if I have 3-days break, I'll go to his house and he takes me to nice restaurant and stalls.

Actually I don't know what to write about my brother. Haha!

Later! 

January Vacation!

Hello there!

I haven't updated this blog nearly 2 weeks, I guess. Well, I was busy with the Silat Tournament in MRSM Arau, Perlis. Need to accompany my students there for 5 days. It was tiring but I was so delighted to see Nani!! She took me and Muhammad to C-Mart and we had lunch there. Before she sent me back, we bought lots of asams and sweet jellies. They're very colourful.

Anyway, we had fun there (me and the kids) and we safely arrived in Besut at 1.30 am. I was sooooo tired and sleepy. Thank God the Principal gave permission to go to work at 10. Haha! But Muhammad didn't go to school. He was tired so I let him took his day-off. 

Then, it was HOLIDAY!!

Only 5 days but it's kinda long for me. Haha!

We went to Genting Highlands with my second brother and his family. I drove to his house in Kuantan on Friday morning and that evening, we're off to Genting Highlands. I haven't been there for ages! And it was Muhammad's first time there. He was so excited.

We stayed at the apartment for one night. Had dinner and GPO and I saw few outlets that I really wanted to go; Skechers Outlet, VS Outlet and Typo Outlet. 

The next morning we took the cable car to the Skyworld Indoor. It was so fascinating. We played Archery, Game Arcade and went to Ripley's Jurassic Research Centre. Muhammad enjoyed his time there! At noon, we had lunch at Absolute Thai and then we went down to GPO.

It's shopping time for me!

I bought a pair of Skechers sneakers, VS Perfume, some goodies at Typo and a carrier luggage at Traveler something (can't recall the name of the outlet). I spent less than RM1K. Haha! I can't believe it.

We went back to Kuantan that evening and on Sunday morning, Muhammad and I went back home. 

That's the enjoyable vacation for this month. Looking forward to another vacation on the next school holidays!

My Mom

 Things are not going well for both of us since ages. I guess that my mom really has high expectation on me. Or she wants me to be like her; fashionable, a good cook, just like normal girls form her point of view.

But no! It turns out that I am the opposite.

I don't care about fashion (back then she always want me to be presentable, read feminine). I love wear simple clothes (t-shirt and jeans or tracksuit). I am not into jewellery, let alone make-ups. To make it short, I am not like her and I won't be like her.

She always nagged me because I didn't like to cook and learn how to cook with her. She thought that having a daughter, she could control her but no. She was unsuccessful, because I rebelled. Until now.

We never shared the same hobby. She always gives negative comments in everything that I do, well mostly. We always ended up arguing and she always used the ticket of being 'a mother'. She exaggerates in being too sensitive, always compares me with other people especially to my cousins or my neighbours. 

Since now I am a mother, I swear that I won't be like her. Ever.

I want my son to be happy and always listen to him when he tells stories or needs someone to talk to.

I want to be the best mom for my son.  

New Year's Resolutions

My new year's resolutions:

1. Since I am addicted to crochet, I want to crochet 5 shawls and 5 baby blankets. Last year I managed only 4 shawls and 4 baby blankets.

2. I want to spend more and more time with my son, Muhammad. Going to have our we-time vacations this year. 

3. I want to live my life the fullest. Since I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, I want to at least have positive vibes during my working time. Thank God all my friends are supportive!

4. I want to improve my English writing so I want to write blogs in English and maybe write short English chapters. Hehe.

5. I think I should manage my working time properly. No more procrastination!

6. Read more and more books!

My Dad

 My dad was a typical-strict Malay dad. Well, he was a lecturer and he retired in 2010 if I am not mistaken.

Some people make their father a hero, but not me. I don't know why but I never thought of my father as my hero. Maybe because he was strict and not like any other dad out there. 

He didn't want to listen to any small problems. For him, we the children need to solve our own problems. He never asked if I had problems at school when I was teen. And I didn't even want to tell him anyway. He would mock me or humiliate me in front of my cousins or my siblings.

Well, my dad passed away last year in January. I don't want to talk bad of the dead, anyway. Haha!

Am I feeling sad for his lost? Of course but only for 3 days. Life must go on.

When and where I was born

 Hello there!

Today, I want to tell about the place and the time I was born.

I was born on 20th October 1984. I'm the 80's child, yaay! I love my birth date because it looks special. 2010. I have had made special celebration in 2010 and in 2020 because it's related to my number. Haha!

I was made in USA, born in Malaysia. I was born in HUSM Kubang Kerian, Kota Bharu, Kelantan. You want to know where's Kelantan? In Malaysia, of course. I have mentioned it in the first line. 

I'm proud to be Malaysian and Kelantanese. I love my dialects. Haha!

What's so special about my place of birth is it is University Hospital. It's kind of being born in the university. And yes, I enrolled myself at the university when I was 18. I'm going to talk about it more later.

Till then!

Tentang Nama

 Dah lama Ciklong tak update blog Ciklong ni. Rasanya bukan dah bersawang tapi dah jadi macam gua dah ni. Haha!!

Hari ni terpanggil untuk tulis semula.

Tak nak cerita panjang memandangkan baru tulis kan? Sebelum Ciklong tulis panjang berjela, kita slow2 la dulu. Bak kata omputih, slow talk. Ahh...gitteww!!

Ciklong mulakan dengan nama dulu. Nama Ciklong ni bukan nama sebenar. Ini nama gelaran yang diberi. Siapa yang bagi? Anak sepupu Ciklong.

First anak sepupu Ciklong. Sebab Ciklong ni anak sulung so terbitlah nama Ciklong. Kalau nak panjang lagi, Ciklong Baik. Diberi oleh anak sepupu bernama Afi. 

Maka melekat la nama Ciklong tu. Kalau family dan juga sepupu sepapat, dorang panggil Ciklong as Kaklong atau Long for short. Tapi ada je yang panggil Ciklong.

Tak kisah la. Janji panggilan yang baik.

Okay, tu je kot. Jap lagi nak live kisah seram pulak. Live suara je la, tuan badan tak masuk.

Muahahaha!!!!
