13 October.Its someone's birthday today.I have successfully ignore that person for close to 3 months now. (What?? Only 3 months??!!Felt like a pretty long time!)And i have successfully ignore this date and the birthday person by sending NO sms, emails, international calls, cards, e-cards and whateveryours. Unlike previous years and the years before. Congratulations to ME!However, i have failed to not remember that its that person's birthday today. I'm just too good with birthdates, heh! So, ur 27 already?? 27 sounds like a big number. Oh well! When its my turn next year, it definitely looks like a very big number._________________________________________________________Anyways, I have been breaking fast at Sitti's for the past 3 days already. Since she wanted to go Terawih, might as well break fast at her place as its nearerto the mosque. At least it feels much, much, MUCH better rather than breaking fast at home with my male, married, housemate, while his beloved wife stayed in the room with the baby. But i can't escape having my pre-dawn meal with him each morning,after knocking the master bedroom door with my index fingernail, while his beloved wife stayed in the room with the baby.Takkan me nak bangun pukul 3 pagi and drive over to Vic Park just to sahur pat rumah Sitti pulak kan? Then after sahur, clean the table top so that there's no plates or whatver leftovers left (if there's any, i'd put them in the fridge), coz after the first day of sahur, she told me that she dun like to see "too many pinggans". (But its ok to leave used cups/mugs, tissues on the table, next to the sink, on the tabletop??Hmmm...) Takpe, sesungguhnya aku sedang berpuasa. I'm grateful that God had bestowed upon me a high level of tolerence and patience. Alhamdulillah.Its ok, its gonna be over soon. As long as i know that whatever i cook, they eat. Lagipun, bulan puasa ni kan bagus kita kongsi makanan sesama org yg berpuasa. Niat dihatiku tentunya ikhlas.As i'm typing this, it made me wonder, what happen if i decided to go on strike and not cook any dish for us to break fast or dinner. And when the husband comes home from work, there's no food to eat coz the wife thought i'd cooked, but decided not to cook. Kirakan macam bubble la. Looks like he(or they) just have to make do with bread or toast with whatever spread. Macam mana agaknya eh? I think nothing will happen coz there're lotsa of pre-prepared food cooked by the baby's grandmother before she left home two weeka ago, in the freezer/fridge, be it rendang, sambal goreng, ayam masak merah, tempe with ikan bilis kicap, sambal udang, sambal lonte, bagedil, sotong masak something...and not forgetting kuih-muih and biscuit raya seperti kuih tat, chocolate cookies, snowball (somethig like suji), cupcakes, kuih lapis... Hah! amik kau obat!Alhamdulillah, banyak sekali makanan kat dalam rumah ni. Well, thats just a thought. I'm not cruel enough to let the new mother struggle with cooking for dearest hubby and feeding the baby.Just look at today alone, i vacummed the whole house while they went out to buy groceries. Then i cooked ikan masak tauchu coz Ida wants me to cook it. Once they came back, the first thing they asked when they saw me, "U vacum rumah eh tadi?" "A-ah,"i said. "Patutlah bila masuk macam lain je, bulu kucing yg bersepah semua da takde... thank you!!" *smiles*Ps: I'm not complaining. I'm only penning down my thoughts. I'm just glad that i'm able to help out whatever i can. Sometimes i feel like i'm a backstabber" (dunno if thats the correct usage of word), am glad to be able to do all those things, but wrote so many other things in my blog. I'm not complaining, ok. I really am not.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Its a cold weather today.I drank 2 mugs of teh-o made by Sitti, and at the mosque, having done only my first set of terawih, i hafta excuse myself to the toilet. First time in my life. Kalau kat Sg, sampai 21 ra'kaat boleh tahan tak pergi toilet, tadi, baru 2 ra'kaat terawih da kelam kabut. Nasib baik kita kat saf yg paling belakang and i was sitting next to the door. Ohhh..i think because i sat near the door la, i kena the cold wind and hence kena go toilet. Ishh.. Next time, i hafta remind myself not to drink too much and not to sit near the door at the mosque.
