Orang lelaki kan, kalau bab shopping, boleh jadi lebih teruk dari orang perempuan. Yes, orang perempuan memang kena label suka buang duit shopping tak tentu pasal. Tapi bila analyse balik, sesungguhnya shopping itu sangat perlu! Good for mental and physical therapy.

Bayangkan turun naik and jalan-jalan kat shopping mall. Banyak calories boleh kasi burn. And also as part of therapy after your long day at work, or you need a break from your kids at home, or to meet up friends. At least, we, ladies will definately buy things that will be very useful for our kids, husbands, parents, or for the house like groceries and stuff and for ourselves.

Tapi kalau orang lelaki shopping? Oh, itu memang akan terus migrane. Men don’t like to buy things unneccessary. Yeah, right! Cuba diorang pegi tempat2 yang diorang suka, like kedai kamera bagi yang minat photography, or kedai computers bagi the gadget guy, or Jalan Pasar for all the type of gadgets you can get, or kedai jual barang2 golf for those yang golfers, kalau kat tempat-tempat macam tu, habis beratus-ribu pun dia kata takpe, good investment.

Tapi kalau isteri nak beli karpet baru untuk rumah baru yang sememangnya perlukan karpet (kalau tak beli, nanti mother in-law datang kaki sejuk pulak pijak simen) terus orang lelaki migrain. Tu belum lagi bila isteri bagitau kata nak beli baju raya anak2 or langsir baru. Hehehehe.

Tapi I tak faham betul bab orang lelaki beli baju. Dia kata tak payah beli, baju banyak lagi. Tapi bila nak pergi kenduri, komplen ” Yang, I takde shirt yang elok lah nak pegi kenduri ni, semua dah buruk/lusuh or dah tak muat. Takkan nak pakai tshirt Chelsea ni?”  Time tu I am sure the wives rasa nak sekeh2 kepala husbang dia. Hehehehehe. Tu lah orang lelaki. Bila kita suruh beli baju, dia kata tak payah, membazir. Kita suruh beli ja, buat standby sebab kita tau nanti dia memang perlukan baju tu. Bukan suruh beli 10 helai at one go macam orang perempuan suka buat, beli sepasang ja. Kurang2 kalau boss kat office tu kata ada function kena attend, ada jugak shirt yang elok boleh pakai.

My dad is one of them. Suruh beli dia kata membazir. Kita bawak pegi kedai, suruh pilih mana nak, kita nak bayar, dia kata tak perlu membazir. Tapi sampai rumah, cakap “baju babah ni dah takde yang elok lah ” Aiyoh!

Note to babah, ayong, adik & Mr F : Kalau Aida Yurani suruh beli baju sepasang, beli je lah, takde kaler theme pun takpe, janji ada standby untuk masa-masa yang perlu.

Note to my friend ray : Dah habis migrane you? Hehehehehe. Karpet tu empuk betul. :p

Salam Semua,

Selamat Hari Raya everyone! I am sure semua masih dalam mood raya. I know I am. My raya leave belum habis lagi. This Wednesday akan cuti balik sampai next week Monday. Yippey yippey yeay! Raya sakan ini tahun.

Sorry for not updating through out Ramadhan. I did 2 postings, then Wordpress went gila, hence, 1 posting kena cut, and I dah malas nak update. In fact I was really busy during Ramadhan with work and personal life. Hehehehe. Facebook ke, email ke, blogs ke, and my daily reading pun tak sempat buat. Nanti lah, next 2 weeks, when I dah free sket, I will seat down and look one by one and reply apa yang patut. To those of you yang hantar email & sms wondering why I was quiet during Ramadhan, not visiting or meeting up for buka puasa, sorry lah, I was really busy with other issues, but I am fine & healthy.

Raya was good, quiet, but qood. At first, I takde rasa pun nak beraya. Usually the last week of Ramadhan, mesti dah excited nak celebrate raya. Tapi this year, tak tau apa yang tak kena, rasa macam tak kena gaya ja nak celebrate raya. Takde mood nak amik baju kurung, takde mood nak buat kek, takde mood nak kemas rumah. Cuba gak cari2 mood raya by shopping sakan during the last week, kemas the whole house a day before raya, bukak lagu raya kat rumah. I only felt it was raya time salam2 dengan semua orang on pagi Raya. After that, tak rasa apa dah. Dah tua ke? Aiyoh!

This time raya, babah & mama slept at my house on malam raya. We had our Raya prayers kat surau near my house in Bukit Antarabangsa before heading Gombak. First stop, rumah arwah Opah. Memang terasa sangat2 opah dah takde. Although tak kecoh macam time opah ada, tapi it was great to see my relatives on pagi raya at Opah’s house. This year masih lagi dapat bagi duit raya kat all my aunties & uncles, hopefully dapat diteruskan. After rumah opah, pegi rumah nenek pulak (my dad’s mother). Kat situ memang sentiasa meriah. Time kami sampai tu, semua orang ada. Memang kecoh and riuh

This time around, the person I looked forward most to ask for forgiveness on pagi raya was my mother. Memang I banyak sangat buat salah and lawan cakap dia this year. Sebak siket la, eh, sebak banyak lah mintak maaf dengan dia lepas sembahyang raya kat surau. Will try jadi anak yang baik untuk masa-masa akan datang.

Ok, will try to update lagi nanti.

Take care everyone and selamat hari raya!
