Am back again....

It was really a long hiatus for me since the last time I wrote in this blog 10 months back. Even some of my good friends start asking when will I start writing again. For some that already know yes I am back to Malaysia for good 4 months back and for those who doesn't know where have I been all these while, I was in Sudan for 3 years following my husband who worked there.

Some may wonder what happened to me the last 10 months? Owhhhh so many things happened to us the past 10 months that I had lots to tell but wish to summarized it later in the next writing. For now I have to get use again with this blogging thingy as I feel I have lost touch on it.

For now I just had to rewind and memorize back what happened the last 10 months. Wait for more stories after this.....

Hairless....

Ehsan was born with very little hair. Erica too. Both of them inherit it from me. Mummy used to say that my hair look like bulu jagung when I was 2 y o. So it shows how little and fine my hair was. I still remember when I was in boarding school and I asked a friend of mine to tie my hair. She refused to tie as she afraid that she might loosen my hair. That is also the reason why I keep my hair short to make it look like I have a full head of hair.

And talking about hair, we never ever shaved Ehsan's head as even waiting for his hair to grow took years. The 1st time he had his hair cut was before Farah's wedding last December. Well his hair is now long at the back so we decided to cut it (I can even tie his hair ; goes to show how long his hair is!). But cutting his hair is not easy as he is a hypochondriac. He would scream and roll his body the moment I showed him the scissors. So hubby had to find another way.

Yesterday hubby asked Ehsan to make his drawings on the white board. While he was busy concentrating on that, Hubby began to snip at Ehsan's hair at the back. He got suspicious occasionally, as we would giggle after each cut. We managed to trim the back and sides, so now Ehsan has a new hair cut (even though it is not as good as a barbers) - The best thing is that he looks like a boy now!

This is Ehsan at 1 - so little hair he has

A buzy week

Been really busy the whole week last week. Finishing the assignments, packing the stuff to move to the new complex and sorted the old stuff to bring back to Malaysia next month, besides the normal routine everyday. I was still hoping that we could move to the new complex this month even though I know the chances are zero.

The packer came the other day to pack all the fragile stuff. So no more all the glass and dining ware for the moment until we move to the new complex. For the mean time we just use apa yg ada - melamine and plastic stuff. My display cabinet also already cleared. I asked the packer to pack it nicely as I will not open it anymore until we go back for good. Rumah baru takde display cabinet so no need to open the box.

Assignment statistic still put on hold even though I had already lend a book from a friend. Tapi sebab kuasa M yang kuat so I just put the book nicely on the table. When the dateline is nearer I guess I will start to do it passionately. In a mean time I prefer to be a procrastinator.

And to all my friends that been asking about the London trip, the entry will be put up soon. Don't worry I will share my trip this time as I shared before.

They did a nice job that day

Move or back for good?

In a month to come we will be moving to our new complex near the Nile River. How do I feel? Excited, tired, lazy, not excited. Entah la I don't feel that great about moving to the new complex. Thinking of loads of stuff need to be pack, unpack again and by the time we settle down maybe it is about time for us to go back for good to Malaysia it made me feel tired.

I once mentioned to hubby that maybe it is better for me just go back to Malaysia and wait for him there. But he disagrees on it. To him the family should be with him during the bad and good times. So apa nak dikata. Kemas je la barang and pindah.

So yesterday we went for the balloting to choose our apartment. Alhamdulillah we got a place at 2nd level. Not so high not so low. We are scheduled to move on this 22nd August. Since I will not be around that time so hubby la kena berkerja keras. But I will make sure to pack all the stuff before leaving for Malaysia.

A-2-7 will be our house number

Later after balloting and tour to the new complex, we headed to Rotana Hotel to fetch and old friend who just arrived from Malaysia for business trip. He is hubby's good friend when they were both in PDB and the wife was my schoolmate. We brought Ramzul to our favorite restaurant, Solitaire. We ate and chat and ate and chat again until we send him back to the hotel at 9.30 p.m. Planning to invite him with some other friends this Thursday before I start to pack all my utensil into the box.

Khairyn's Party

We just came back from London 3 days ago and been invited by a good friend, Lyn for her daughter's birthday party. Still in holiday mood and being so lazy to start my routine I delightedly accepting the invitation. Mana taknya ajak datang waktu lunch. So I don't have to cook.

The party were supposed start at 2.00 p.m but due to other commitment we excuse our self to come earlier. So we arrived their place at 1.15 p.m. Of course nobody have not arrived. We start the makan-makan session together with the stories of London and others. I brought some bubur pulut hitam as I have no mood to do any baking.

Later the blowing candle session started and of course my son yang over dari the birthday girl. He was the one who conquer the table. Khairyn nak tiup tak boleh tapi dia nak tiup boleh. Adoi la anak. Macam ni kena buat blowing candle session every month la. After that I leave the kids to play for a while, while waiting for our driver. We left the party when others start coming.

Push Khairyn Push....

After sending the kids back home with the maid, we headed to Khartoum International University. Actually both me and hubby volunterred to become a coach for the students from several universities across the Sudan for their Petronas Intervarsity Debate Competition (PAVED). The coaching session is part of a program by Petronas to help the Sudanese community in term of humanitarian needs, education and social. Despite Sudan, Petronas also send their staff to Acheh, Phillipine and Pakistan. This program is called Petronas Volunteer Opportunity Program (PVOP).

The session started with briefing from Mdm. Samah, Executive of Corporate Affairs from Petronas. After the briefing we were given our university and we have to help and coach them to prepare for the topics given. I was assigned to the medical students from Omdurman Islamic University. The session ended at 7.30 p.m. We were supposed to attend the dinner at 8.00 p.m but we excuse our self as we were both tired.
