Comot

The weekend was spent rummaging and re-arranging all the clothes in the wardrobe again, other that the usual moping-dust busting the whole house, washing clothes..

And, other than the moping-dusting part, the rest of my chores was accompanied by one really curious-amazed look, by Comot. She will always be there with me, no matter what. She always try to position herself near my feet whenever I'm in the kitchen. Looking at the fridge, the sink. 

Either I was washing my clothes, reading, typing on my laptop, you name it... she's always sit nearby. I kind of think of her my little guardian angel (who at this point needed me to be guarding her from jumping off the balcony). Even, when I was praying, she'll always try to sit on the prayer mat as well.

This one tiny feisty creature is adorable and always a dear to my husband. I once asked him "between all four, which one do you love most?" He didn't answer me, but I know that he always do the 'ga.. ga' with Comot all the time. He likes Comot because she's very 'manja' and reminded him of our late Simba. Whenever he opened up the front door, Comot would be running to him, just like Simba (Nope, that didn't happen to me though). 

Last week, we had to cut her nails because she's at that age where she just scratch anything, even our feet and hands. I googled up on the 'how-to' and we both grabbed her while trying to cut her nails. She was making her usual noise when things didn't go her way whenever any of the nail got cut but we didn't budge! :) "Sudah tau laa dia punyer teknik". :)

2011 - In Retrospect (Part 1)

Oklah, dah nak masuk 2012. Surely, mesti everybody akan comment dalam blog/fb masing2 tentang apa yang diorang sume dah capai this year. Have we achieved all of our resolutions (or any of them)?

I can vaguely remember how my 2011 start actually. Mainly because, I was having a diarrhea while everyone else was celebrating the new year with party or fireworks. Mr. Botak stopped by my place that night to bring me tapau dinner/lunch and some panadols to sooth my pain. He had his annual new year bbq at his friend's place and wasn't able to stay with me.

So, what else happen in 2011?
January
I was in South Africa the whole month of January, helping out a friend for a project assignment. I never dream of being there but it was an exciting experience! :)

March
Oh yeah, I definitely have to remember that I did tie the knot to Mr. Botak on 13/3/2011. Alhamdulillah... My late mother was really fond of him and somehow, that feeling was passed on me to a year back when I realized that he is the 'ONE' for me. I know this entry macam very tacky... but, he was the kind of person i visualized to be there for me when I'm 30 (next year), 40, 50, 60 ...even 80. Ameen!

Not having my mom did make me helpless when it comes to wedding preparation. Alhamdulillah, a lot of people have actually help this damsel-in-distress in making this wedding a success. My family esp abah, my siblings, my aunties, uncles, cousins and their children!  They were with me all the way till the reception in Bangi at Mr. Botak's place. Only Allah can repay all their kindness that they had showed me.

May - June
A few days before Labor Day, I found out that I was pregnant. It was an exciting moment for both of us. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, I was miscarried after a few weeks of spotting and bleeding. I had the berpantang period at my mother-in-law's place since I myself have no idea on how exactly I should handle this. Both of us think that, we should always try again and this is just Allah showing that He has other plans for us.

July
Following my miscarriage incident, I decided that I need to focus on something else. While browsing through the internet, I found a house which my dad likes so much (Mesti pelik, is this my house or my dad's?)
Well, my dad was extremely fond with the idea of me buying a house at that time. So, both of us went to property exhibitions and also checking sub sale houses in Bangi/ Bukit Mahkota/ Bandar Seri Putra area. He was a "broker tanah"; hence, he usually look at the size of the land, rather the building itself.
So, we found this house in Bukit Mahkota and he fall in love with it instantly, which took me at least 15 minutes longer. Mr. Botak, of course took a back seat in this case but he didn't mind it at all. For him, as long as we're living somewhere near Bangi is good enough. I searched for lawyer online and decided to go through with her. And a few weeks later, we signed the S&P to become the owner of the sub-sale.

Note:
Of course, every now and then, I would pester Mr. Botak to drive around my soon-to-be house just to catch a glimpse of it. Not that, there was any changes made to to house. As a matter of fact, I always dream of what my bedroom, living room, kitchen, garden would be like and I just want to go there to see whether the size fits my imaginary dream garden or kitchen.

Sept - Nov
I was pregnant (and unfortunately miscarried again). I went back to Terengganu to stay with my dad during the pantang period. Mr. Botak allowed me to go home with my younger brother simply because he understood me. I just want to be alone, where I could find peace. And of course, there's no place like home. It makes me thinking more about my late mom. I even asked my dad how did my mom coped with pantang (not having anyone around.. parents or siblings). He said, she had Tok Minah (my mom's foster mother), who was also a bidan to help her with the pantang. We talked about our family when all my siblings were younger. My dad commented that none of us have any major disease or sickness. Most of the time, my dad didn't know what to do and my mom was the one who took care of us. :)
