Aerobics@CCK with Khairi Supani

Early last Saturday morning, I had my aerobics session with Khairi & his group. My Sis-in-Law n her hubby is a member there. I came knowing it was Khairi who is leading us. Missed his usual great tactics and humour while exercising. So I came well prepared.


I took the LRT to Southview Station then I PowerWalked all the way to Blk 455 CCK (garden area). It was a cool 20 mins distance. The morning air was soft and breezy and it made my journey there more relaxing. Stopped at the Shop&Safe store, bought a bottle of mineral water and off I went.

As I reached the open space, I saw several ladies in sports attire gathering...thought to myself..this must be the group. As I came nearer, Khairi was seated, waiting for all of us to arrive. he was pleasantly surprised to see me there. We talked for awhile, even commenting on my improvement.... that spurred me on. Thank you.

Soon Sis Maimunah also came. Each person is to pay $4. I believe there was about 25 people there....

The moves were new, entangling grapevines made me laughed..the steps are way cooler and more exciting.... I really enjoyed the session...it started at 8am and ended at about 9.15am....to which I bid farewell to my new friends at CCK and went off continuing my PowerWalk with Sis Maimunah till she reached her home and I continued my way to Southview Station... finally reached home at about 9.55am... Pheww it was good Saturday morning for me...

For those staying in CCK and would like to get off your butt and do some exercise, come on down to Blk 455 every Saturday, if it rains, the session will continue at the covered podium nearby.... See you there or be circle (bulat)...Wakakakakaka

Our dear Wak Imah....

Coming back from the Deepavali celebrations, we decided to go to our dear Wak Imah's place at Hougang.... the children were elated to go...


She is my mom's eldest sibling, my children says she is so much like Nenek Yishun (my mom) her voice, her mannerisms is almost alike they say.








I am so grateful that she served us guava, oranges & sweercorn... after the Deepavali Briyani, this is surely a good thing for me & my diet. Thank you Wak Imah...hehehhee





Me & hubby manage to take a shot at Wak Imah's place..

Celebrating Deepavali

Yesterday...our family went to Selvam & Kaveri, our dear friend's home to celebrate Deepavali with them.

Muruku, Briyani, sweet delicacies were served... the food were all catered, Halal....Mak oi.... there goes my slimming points... but I was quite ok..just scoop 2 spoonfuls of briyani, 2 cuts of lean mutton and loads of cucumber, chillies & pineapple salad.. Yum Yum....

The host kept asking me to add more rice.... I said I am ok.... I kept scooping up the salad... at least they saw me still eating ...but not the rice...heheheheh smart huh!





Sulaiman was the big eater there..look at him... the food was too delicious for him... he had 3 servings..... compliments to the chef...













Sulaiman and Dinesh are good friends and both goes to SJI (St Joseph's Institution)










Selvam & Razak was both working in the same company years ago... lost contact then later realised we had moved into the same neighbourhood.

Initially I thought Selvam is from Malaysia as he is very fluent in Malay, but he is not. He says its a result of having too many Malay friends while growing up.






Siti Aishah & Ganesh are friends too..both are in P1 at GreenRidge Primary School. They kept spraying each other with party shakers and party poopers... They had so much fun...









Didn't manage to get a photo with Kaveri, she was busy attending to her guests... I grab Ganesh and got a shot...

Thank you Selvam & Kaveri for inviting and having us...

Excuse me...

The other day, I had to go to Clifford Centre.... went there with hubby.... after finishing off my business, my hubby continued working while I tried to find my way to the exit leading to Raffles Place MRT...

I walked around the building.... eh where's the exit? Silly of me... saw a lady about my age I think...stopped her and asked her... "Excuse me....could you please tell me the exit".... She looked at me and in a split second she said..."Adik sesat ke? Ok Adik jalan sini belok kiri jalan terus...(She refer to me as adik (younger sister), are you lost younger sister? Adik tak ke sekolah ke hari ni? Not having classes today? Aikkksss do I still qualify as a teenager...a Poly student????? She thought I was a Poly student..I was dressed in my sports shoes, jeans & black tee.... I thanked her and went on my way... Still in my heart, giggling...

I embraced what happened as a sign of my continuous efforts showing its results... I am a healthier Me.....!!!!!! Yeehah...Alhamdulillah...

Take a look inside Kaabah

Ita receive these pictures from a friend..a rare look inside Kaabah for those lucky Muslims to be able to step their foot inside....

Semoga kita semua berpeluang ke tanah suci Mekah satu hari nanti...Insyallah...Amin.

Malam Sabtu lepas...hati ku remuk dan sedih sekali....

Kita 5 beranak baru selesai bertandang ke rumah iparku di CCK. Plan nak ke rumah makcik sebelah mak di Bt Panjang. Ita kurang pasti tangga mana rumahnya...dah call hp berkali..tiada jawapan...eh takde rumah ke? Cuba call makcik lagi satu, minta tel rumah dia...Ita call....suaminya angkat.....dah perkenalkan diri dan minta nak cakap dgn makcik...Dia kata kejap eh...then line mati. Ita call balik....cakap lagi....then dimatikan lagi...Apa cerita ni...

Kita dah ada dalam carpark.... hubby suruh Ita naik dan check...belum sempat buka pintu kereta...anak Ita...Sulaiman offer..Ibu tak payah..Man naik..lari lagi cepat...Oklah kalau gitu. Tak lama dia turun...muka dia sedih..katanya dia dah perkenalkan diri...Tok ini Sulaiman....anak Ita...anak Razak...Tok tak kenal ke....Dia jawab...aku tak kenal..kau salah rumah..terus dia duduk tengok TV...Sulaiman masih tercegat kat pintu...Anak Ita rasa malu...bila diberitahu what happen....hubby Ita bingitlah....Ita dipersalahkan. Dia terus drive out from the carpark walau Ita merayu dgn dia supaya hentikan kereta. Dia malu dan marah sangat....datang raya orang tak terima katanya... airmata ni mengalir tak henti2.

Sampai dirumah...dah tak ada mood nak cakap dgn hubby lagi...Ita terus ke dapur..buat persiapan untuk openhouse hari minggu. Dari jam 10 mlm hingga ke 3.30 pagi Ita di dapur. Teringatkan kisah tadi...nangis lagi. Rasa penat dan ngantuk mula....Ita tidur...6.00 pagi bangun dan sambung kerja....hinggalah tetamu2 tiba....pagi ini..badan rasa macam nak pecah....sengal satu badan...tengkok dah cramp... Ya Allah....Subhanallah..

Apa yang tak kena?

Naik biol aku..... satu satu dugaan aku tempuhi...

Dah 3 hari MIL ada kat sini... itu pun secara mendadak my hubby bawa dia ke sini dari hari Selasa... aku tak kisahlah...

Pagi Rabu seperti biasa aku pergi PowerWalk... 7 pagi..aku lagi siap pakai trackpants... tup tup kedengaran bunyi mangga pagar dibuka orang... dengan cepat aku keluar.. my MIL rupanya nak keluar.. aku tanya nak kemana? Dia kata nak amik angin pagi sambil jalan2. Terus dia meluru keluar belum sempat aku cakap aku pun nak keluar, dia dah menghilang. Cepat2 aku pakai tudung dan keluar....kunci dia tak bawa... aku PowerWalk makan 1 jam setengah sambil ke pasar beli Tahue panas. Takkan aku nak kasi dai tunggu depan pintu...siapa nak buka pagar? Aku bergegas ke bawah mencarinya. Alhamdulillah...jumpa..ku serahkan kunci padanya. Aku pun jalan.

Bila pulang...aku terus masak Ayam Masak Kari, Goreng Sayur Kobis, Sambal Belacan. Aku perasan di atas meja ada roti manis dan epok2...MIL beli agaknya. Aku diam je.

Namun aku perasan dia tak makan apa yang aku masak... aku ajak dia makan tengahari..dia kata nanti...hingga ke jam 6ptg...masih belum jamah masakan dan nasi. Aku diam lagi. Takkan aku nak paksa dia.

Malam pun begitu...my hubby balik...ajak dia makan dia kata nanti... Bila kita dah masuk bilik...kedengaran klentang klentung periuk didapur...dalam hati aiseyman..macam tikus dapur...Wakakaka.... aku diam lagi.

Semalam pun sama...pagi-pagi dia keluar tanpa beritahu aku... aku turun tapi tak jumpa...macam mana nak kasi kunci? Last last aku tak pergi PowerWalk. Buat tubing exercises. Tunggu dia balik. Jam 9 baru dia balik..bawa epok2 n roti manis lagi. Aku diam lagi.

Aku masak Asam Pedas Lada Hitam Ikan Pari dgn Daun Kesum. Namun tak laku juga. Same story sampai malam...... Aku beritahu my hubby that Mak tak makan apa yg disajikan. He just said..Biarkan.....Aku diam lagi. Dia kurung diri dia dalam bilik...tetamu datang pun dia buat dak...tak keluar.. bukan orang dia tak kenal...dia kenal. Aku berdiam lagi..

Hari ini pun sama story... my hubby said Mak kata nak pergi rumah kakak..So he plan sambil kita hantar, boleh beraya sekali rumah kakak (dari last week nak dtg asyik takde rumah) So aku bilang MIL yang malam ni kita nak beraya rumah kakak...tapi responnya masyallah terkejut aku...

"Tak payah datang, Kakak kau tu nak buat kuih raya..dia belum ada kuih raya..(suara dia macam tak suka) aku diam aje lagi (maklum tak nak keruhkan keadaan) Muncung dari pagi...aku tak tahu apa lagi yang tak kena ni... Subhanallah.

Hari Istimewa.....Happy Birthday

Hari ini...9th Oct genaplah umur bondaku yang ke 59... melihat raut wajahnya... ternyata terlalu banyak perit jerih kehidupan yang dilaluinya...





Ita berdoa agar Allah sembuhkan segala penyakit yang di tanggung Mak. teringat lagu Siti Nurhaliza....Airmata Ibu

Apakah sebenarnya
Terbuku dikalbumu
Apakah erti linang airmata di pipimu

Ucapkanlah padaku
Tak bisa ku ungkainya
Rahsia yang kau pendam itu

Aku hanya menduga
Tidak mampu merasa
Sebenar-benar perasaanmu

Pengorbanan yang kau lakukan
Untuk dewasakan ku
Hanya bisa ditanggung hati ibu

Namun kupercaya
Takkan terlerai kasih
Ikatan ini takkan putus

Telah kau telan lara
Dan terima segala
Dugaan dan badai yang melanda...
Duhai ibu

Ita amat hargai segala pengorbanan Mak selama ini. Hanya Allah yang mengetahui.

Ya Allah berilah ku kesempatan dan ruang agar dapat menjaga ibu ku dengan sempurna.
Insyallah...Amin.

Berderau Jantungku

Alahai....Pelepah pinang ini jatuh dan sipi-sipi terkena Ita semasa menghantar Aishah ke sekolah semalam...Just by inches...the sound was so loud. Berderau jantungku.... AllahuAkbar...

Mak datang beraya...

Semalam Mak Ita call...dia rasa sihat sedikit dan merancang ke rumah Ita bersama Shahid dan Jamilah. Terasa happy sangat Mak nak datang..maklum Mak sering sakit dan tahun lalu dia tak berkesempatan datang kerumah masa raya. Jadi kali ini macam best gitu.

Mungkin jam 2ptg mereka tiba.... budak2 semua masih disekolah...maybe Sulaiman saja dah pulang agaknya nanti. Nak ke kedai kejap beli apa2 yang patut.

Nanti Ita amik gambar ... bye bye

4th day Syawal

Early morning, Hubby went to work... early morning too I went off to Senja NTUC (open at 8am) bought groceries to cook today... I thought of making mini puffs... froze it till later when guests come...senang...tinggal thaw out and bake... hot & crispy for them...

Did the laundry, tidy up the house, etc...

At around 4pm... my next door neighbour came... with Haris (their son..so cute) served them the mini puffs...they loved it...

Haris was busy with his mom's camera, clicking away.... when his mom want the camera back.. he said...'No..you cannot have it' He will be attending Nursery only next year and his command of English boleh tahan...berabuk speaking London... Comel sungguh.



In the evening, we managed to visit my eldest bro-in-law in Yishun.

Abang Nasir & Kak Wati












This is in Tampines, my elder sis-in-law's place...

My nephew, Bahktiar with my kids...











My Sis-In-Law Rosebi...













Then we went to visit my uncle in Pandan Gardens. Uncle Achid and Cik Zizah.

Left their home at about 10.30pm... Aishah slept in the car... reaching home..she said...'Kita nak pergi rumah siapa now?' Alahai Aishah...dah sampai rumah pun.... Wakakakaka mengigau agaknya dia tu..

Exam fever berterusan...

Alahai... hari kedua dan ketiga Syawal anak2 sudah bersekolah dan ada yang menjalani peperiksaan akhir tahun... siang-siang lagi mereka sudah memberi isyarat mahu tumpukan pada peperiksaan. Selalunya PSG dan Principal sekolah akan bertandang pada hujung minggu pertama Syawal... kali ini kena tunggu dulu.. mungkin minggu ke 3 baru Ita adakan jamuan buat mereka dan teman2.. Aishah pula hanya akan bermula peperiksaannya pada 24hb Oct... Alahai semakin pening kepala Ita...
