From me to you..

1- Coffee morning - maaf, biasanya saya dah siap-siap makan di rumah with Cik Asben.

2- Window shopping - maaf, saya biasanya hanya keluar bila rasa perlu or ada barang-barang yang perlu dibeli.

3- Yoga.. gym.. etc - maaf, kerja-kerja di rumah dah cukup untuk membuat saya bergerak ke sana dan ke sini. And I don't like "bibik" sebab saya sangat cerewet.

4- Deco class etc.. maaf, saya dah pernah enroll (most that you've offered me) semasa di Malaysia.

5- SPA treatment.. maaf, I'm not that type of person.. bukan tak suka dibelai dan dimanjakan but I have my other priorities. Thus I don't like wasting my money at those kind of place.

In short.. 

How do you "relief your stress"?

Hobbies?

Friends?

Waktu senggang tak ada ke?

Typical questions.. then typical answers it shall be..

Stress.. 

Ada masa memang Ibu stress dengan life. But to overcome.. I deal with it.. and NOT run from it. Delaying things.. so not my way. Mungkin pada sesetengah orang I might be a bit POYO.. but that's ME.

Hobbies..

I have my books.. fridge magnets.. deco plate.. snow globe a few more others..

Just like any ordinary people.. Ibu pun ada hobi. And still ongoing. To me.. hobi.. kita kena ikhlas and bukan sebab terikut-ikut dengan orang lain. Result.. Ibu still do "things" yang Ibu buat sejak jejak tanah Kuwait ni.

Friends..

Of course la ada. But to me.. they are more quality friends. Thus.. jumpa OK. Tak jumpa pun OK jer. Bukan jenis nak mengadap muka dia orang selalu pun. And kami pun tak communicate kerap sangat. Lesson learn. You only have YOURSELF.

Waktu senggang..

Sure la ada. Otherwise macam mana nak up entri tiap hari (or almost tiap hari). Cuma mungkin semua tugas Ibu dah ada "its own time". So, nak slot in benda lain.. kena plan in advance la. Entah.. dah terbiasa macam tu.. nak buat macam mana kan..

And maybe sebab masa awal-awal Cik Asben merantau dulu.. Ibu rasa macam dah lama sangat "ditinggalkan" dengan tanggungjawab penuh ke atas anak-anak.. so.. bila kami dah "bersama" seperti sekarang ini.. Ibu prefer menghabiskan masa senggang bersama keluarga sahaja.

Tapi.. sesekali tu.. Ibu keluar jugak dengan kawan perempuan. Tho' its unlikely selalu.. very rare or only once in a blue moon.

Pelik ke Ibu ni??

Come la ladies.. there's nothing WEIRD or ABNORMAL about me. Cuma maybe cara kita saja yang a bit different.

Pada yang "mampu" tunggu pintu mall bukak tiap pagi.. or tunggu Chef pi masak kopi kat dapur hotel.. carry-on. I hope you enjoy with your much blessed life.

Cara kita tak mungkin sama or maybe tak akan sama pun. Thus, that did not make me a WEIRDO. It just that.. you have your way and I have my priorities. Full stop.

And with that.. I rest my case..
