I wanna be a supergirl!! N then superwoman!!!!


Hurm.. Don't you think there are just to0 many people getting married or engaged these days...???


Jealous?? A little bit.. blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com Huhu


Haha well, I should've been one of them but it seem that my fate twisted haha Hurm guess Allah has better plans for me, right??


Anyway. It's not about my jealosy and envy that I want to talk about...


Well, I've been observing my aunt, who's a wife, a mother, an employee, still a daughter to her parents and most importantly a servant to Allah.. So many roles she has to play at the same time.. And

OH MY GOD!!! IT'S TIRING!!!!

Well, I didn't really get the clear picture when you have multiple roles to play as a woman with a husband, who'll be the person that you could you hold on to at hard times.. Why?? Because mom is a single mother which means her life is harder.. So I've always imagined, married women live better life than do single mothers and also they have lesser burdens.. But I think my perception has gone astray all this while hehe

What I saw during my observation...


She has to do the hundreds or maybe even thousands chores.. She has to cook...She has to take care of her baby, maicaya... She has to be there for her husband, my uncle.. She has to give commitments to work.. She has to think of the academic performance of her other children.. and so many more.. WOW!!!!

ONLY A SUPERWOMAN CAN DO THAT!!!!


Well, I manage my day pretty well in the hostel.. And when it comes to home making at home, I think I'm satisfied with how I handled stuff.. I thought that was enough to put me as someone who's prepared to be a wife and a mother until I saw my aunt..

Yeah I managed my chores well.. Washed MY clothes, prepared MY food, tidied MY room.. Everything was simply mine.. Later, in the future.. When I'm married.. It would be MY HUSBAND and MINE.. A few years later, it would be MY HUSBAND, KIDS and MINE~ WOW!!! Could I manage that??? My laundry would be 5 or 6 or maybe 10 folds than the one I have when there was only ME aloneblogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

And for the home making.. Yeah I manage them well too.. But.. that is during the HOLIDAYS.. Later.. I'll be working and have to maintain my own house.. Not only a cubicle that I call MY compartment which I successfully maintain during my semester.. It would be a house.. A BIG one if I'm rich enough hahaha..





If my jodoh is someone who likes to help me out in doing chores then I'll be lucky.. Kalo dapat yang pemalas.. Tidor jak kerjanya... Or tau lepak ngan member jak.. Then I'm DONE!!!!!!!blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com



Then again.. I have the stamina to hike and row for hours so by right I should have the stamina?? WRONG!!! I don't hike and row in daily basis.. Later, all those wife, employee and mom thingy will be revolving in my life everyday.. It's a must-do routine!!!!!! Aiyo0o0o0!!!!

I'm honestly not ready for that!!! I'm no supergirl.. I'm no superwoman.. But I must practice to be one...

Have at least 2 years to prepare...blogger-emoticon.blogspot.com

Must learn to manage my time better...

Must improve my cooking...

Must learn to accept other's flaws... because you are going to live with your husband's flaws for the rest of your life.. Some flaws just can't be repaired you see..

Willing to face ups and downs with my hubby...

Must learn to put up smiles even at hard times...





Penuh la blog ni kalo mo list suma skali hehe :p itu baru yang duniawi, kalo yang ukhrawi, sampai tahun depan pon nda habis taip heee :p

So that's it... Now, I see that marriage is more than uniting two hearts so that both male and female are lawfully together for the rest of their life... Love is just one part of it.. And the rest of marriage is about responsibilities, duties, sacrifices and many more.. NOw after about 7 months, I finally see why is it not for me yet.. Simple.. Because I'm not ready :)

Now what I'm going to do is study hard first so that bila sudah kerja nanti nda "huh?? Xtau" bila orang tanya hehe I'm going to be a superwoman one day, just let me practice first hehe and then I'll find my SUPERMAN \(^^)/

That Pleasant Cobbler~

I dread foot massage.. It gives me weird tickling sensation.. But these days, I just need it badly.. Why?? Thanks to my new silver high heels

They are sheer beauty in appearance, but after hours of wearing it.. My foot is left with excruciating pain especially at my left knee where there was a fracture there 2 and a half years ago.. Yeah... I know.. I shouldn't have worn it since I know the fact that I'm a young lovely arthritic patient hehe but the shiny, silver glitter is just tempting.. The high heels are like whispering to me

"We'll look just nice in your small feet.. Yes we do!" hehe Talking high heels~
So finally I decided to get myself a pair of flat sandals that worth RM 5.40 and you can imagine how ecstatic I was to have gotten myself cute sandals at such low price.. But.. The sandals didn't last.. The next day, tali sandal itu putus..


I was in the pharmacy when I noticed the hurm.. damage hehe so I called mom to know where can I find a cobbler... She told me there's a cobbler about a block away from my pharmacy.. So around 11.30 am, I start my journey to the cobbler's shop.. It was a difficult journey... Full of obstacles it was.. hehe I have to drag my left leg because that was the side of the tali putus.. I was obviously limp to the people around me.. I'm pretty sure it must've been ugly to see an oddly deliberately limp girl in her green baju kurung hehe And what was worst, I have to cross a busy road in that pathetic condition.. eeeeeK!!




I safely reached the cobbler's shop of course... It was a small shop with lots of shoes in it and the cobbler's work station was just next to the door.. Hurm.. He's a chinese so of course an "Assalamualaikum" would not be suitable.. So I entered with a simple "Hi!" and smiled.. Not sure what respond I will get that time because the cobbler was busy with a football boot.. But surprisingly, I was greeted with a warm pleasant smile and he said
"HELLO!!! Silakan masuk.. Apa saya bole tolong??" I was immediately pleased...
He checked the condition of my sandals.. Physical examination that is.. And then he present his 'diagnosis' and finally decided for a 'treatment'..
"Kamu kena jahit o00o.. Ini tidak kuat suda gam dia.. RM 15 bole?? Sekejap saja"
I'm not stingy but seriously I only have RM 15 in my purse and I would need at least RM 5 for my lunch that day.. So I honestly told the cobbler
"Alamak, RM 15 ka?? Saya tidak culup duit o0o.. Saya gam saja la dulu"
"Berapa you ada??"
"RM10 saja"
"Bole la.. Sila duduk.. Sekejap saja ni" Another smile from him


He immediately start the "procedure".. He start a conversation too.. He asked me where I live, am I working, where do I study etc. I found him a very very very pleasant person.. He told me his daughter is studying in St. Anne and asked me regarding the text book .. He told me text books are expensive even for a standard 1 student.. But what I noticed was, from his intonation, the way he said it, it was not a complain just a plain statement... He's obviously content with his job and earnings.. I can even see him smile as he sew my sandals...

I also learned from him that mending shoes is his family business inherited from his late father. He chose to continue the tradition because
"Susah o0o0 mau dapat kerja sekarang.. Belajar tinggi2 pon belum tentu dapat kerja ma~"

When he finished the procedure, my heart was filled with gratification because the comfort was not ripped from my cute sandals although massive alteration was made.. He'd done the job perfectly... You know what, with the difficulty to pierce through the sandals' sole, the nicely done stitches that it's not visible to the naked eye, maintained comfort plus his pleasant personality.. He actually deserve RM 30++ for that..




You know what I see in this pleasant cobbler???
1. He's grateful and happy with what simple life he has.. Didn't complain about how much he must pay for his child's education..

2. He's so pleasant to his customer because I think he appreciate them very much.. Without his customer, he won't get his earnings, right??
3. He loves his job so much and that's why it's always well done =) He's not even choosy of what job he's doing as long as he has a job...


Hurm I told my mom how satisfied I was with what he'd done to my sandals and mom said
"o0o0, dekat situ memang bagus"


His job might not be as significant as our job or job-to-be.. We are future pharmacists, engineers, lawyers, accountants and etc... But amazingy he's grateful with everything... And one more thing that cross my mind is... Imagine if no one is willing to be the cobbler, the barber or the cleaner... Then we won't be able to mend our shoes, get our favourite hairdo and everythig in the office or mall or hostel will be dirty.. Their job might not be life-saving, building marvels or fighting for the rights of others.. But that doesn't make them least important.. with such a pleasant attitude like the cobbler, they can be even GREATER INDIVIDUAL than the professionals..

New links =>

Hello0o0o0...



I'm drained of ideas these days.. My naughty neice and nephew seem to be causing me some kind of mental block.. Plus.. The hot weather in this small island of mine seem to slow down the transmission of impulse from one neuron to another in my brain.. So I decided to add some new links to my blog..



As you can see to your right...I mean if you scroll down a little bit..



You can see a new label there... "Entertainment"..


There's E! which directly connects me to the





Then, there's the Billboard so I could access the English chart easily and then start downloading new songs...hehe

I also added the Inspiring Leaders there.. I'm so not into politics.. Personally, the endless chaotic political environment of Malaysia never fail to nauseate me.. But I like the insights of these two respected leaders.. Especially Dr Mahathir.. People can say lots of bad things about him... But to me HE's a real leader.. What he'd achieved for the country is unprecedented in the history of Malaysia...

\(^^)/ GO GO CHE DET!!






O yeah! And I just realized that I'd forgotten to link my blog to dearest IPHA site.. The site that my dear friends like Mar and Mekwa really put a lot of effort to establish.. So there it is :)

And there are also some new sites there under "Love to read 'em"... Some are Islamic ones.. It's not merely tazkirah in there.. They are updated with latest global issues to0..

Do check them out :) hehe
