My Mak Som

Listening to sad song "Luluh:Samsons" prompts me to write about my late auntie, Mak Som. (smilling - right pix in blue baju kurung with my mom). I had a late working Thursday that day. Mr Bukit, likes to do things at the spur of moment. Had a meeting with some clients and were laughing away when the meeting ended at 7.45 pm. I eagerly pack my stuff to go back when i received a call from my mom:

Mummy : Nurul tgh buat apa? *sobbing*
Me : Tgh nak balik. Mak ok ke?
Mummy : *Crying* Mak Som dah tada..
Me : Innalillah.
Mummy : Balik rumah cepat. Kemas barang. Pegi spore malam ni dgn ayah.

Mak Som paased away on a Friday nite (khamis mlm jumaat) which in Islam is considered as a Blessed day for a Muslim to depart from the world. It's a blessing for her and the whole family. It was always her wish to pass away on Friday nite similar like my my late Nenek, who always without fail recite her doa before going to bed, praying that God will take her life away on the Blessed nite. God granted her wish.

I remembered that last Raya 06, we went to Mak Som's house and we took a lot of pictures. My bro even captured a video scene between Mak Som and My Mummy gossiping away. We never did that before. Never at her house but who's to know that THAT was the last time for all of us. And during the months before she was bed ridden, she would always ask me - "Nurul bile nak kawin ni?? Cepat la kawin, nanti Mak Som tak sempat nak nengok tau." Not once, not twice, but she would say that everytime we met and guess she've already had the feeling she'll be leaving us soon. I have yet to introduce my Munchkin to Mak Som :( I'm sure she would definetly love Munchkin and she would hv tease him a lot as she likes to joke around. She refers to me as Orang Johor. So imagine, if come during Raya, she would call out loud, "Haaaa, here's our Orang Johor dah sampai." I would normally keep my head low n be embarass when she does that - everyone will be looking around for the 'Orang Johor' . I will miss that a lotttt now :(

Another famous trait of Mak Som is that she's a very caring person. She cares more about ppl around her than she cares about herself. I would always remember that once, when my parents was away for Umrah. She would call me everyday to find out my condition. That time i was studying in uni and we just lost my late brother Rizal. Off all my aunties, shes the only one who understands that we were mourning that time and I was really sad because my parents were not around and yet, she made the effort to call tiredlessly everyday and i will always cherish that Mak Som.
This posting is dedicated to you Mak Som. May u rest in peace, in the Garden of Eden. I know u'll be very happy there. InsyAllah. Amin.

Frustration

Recently bought a new toy- a laptop. Wanted to buy in Spore coz i heard price wise its better than Msia but in the end i bought it in JB tanah tumpahnye darahku. Support la sikit bro! :P

I braved myself on the 4th day of Raya to Landmark mall-(the so called Low Yat of JB) equipped with the guidelines /pointers given by my munchkin on the what-to-look-for criterias. Went in, aimed for the word Acer, bargained with few shops and found the one shop *cupid lovey dovey sound effect* BAM!! Bought it. Was at that time, confident that i managed to make the best out of the deal.

*Acer Aspire 4710 Linux *Intel Core Duo *Webcam *XP Home OS ori installed *Upgraded to 1GB for RM 80 - cheapest i managed to get. Others offering at RM99. *Free gifts - lock, dvd cds, headphone, optical mouse, usb hub - [with problem yet to come, full story below]

ahbutthen......justttttt when i started to fall in love with blackie aka my laptop, one after another problem occurred *dramatic sound effect* 1st day shut down prob, 2nd day webcam faulty, 3rd day shitdown eh shutdown prob agn and 4th day tumdrive port prob. WTFish?! for etime prob occured, i tiredlessly went to the shop. There's 2 malay guy and one ah beng running the shop. Boss is always not around. They always managed to tackle the prob and then another prob will occur. Webcam eventuallyworked (they claim its the driver prob), but always prob of shutting down. Sigh

I wanted to bring someone mcm garang sikit, so can back me up, but then everyone seemed to be busy. so went there alone each time. I wished i had a bodyguard who can whack them up to let them know that im sick of going in and out of the shop (kalau sebelah rumah takpe.)I forked out my RM2K++ savings money in return for a functioning laptop not a prob generating laptop. but me being me, i always try to put it in a veryy a nice way. kalau marah pon, ill do it jokingly. tapi takpa. as long as the msg is being sent across, its fine with me.

So now, im laptopless - wow! that sounded funny. laptopless.laptopless. hehe anwayysssss, (focus ppl! focus!) my blackie is now being sent to the acer service center. They came with a theory saying that, actually its the tumdrive port prob. each time like certain tumdrive is inserted, the laptop will not be able to shut down. Dont know. I just want to use my god damn blackie in peace. Is that too much to ask for? Sigh

Now, i would have to wait for 2 weeks *cross fingers* so again laptopless :P May the force of shutting down correctly be with me! Amin.

Selamat Hari Raya @ Eid Mubarak.

I believe its still not too late for me to wish all Muslims, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri @ Happy Eid Al-Fitr. Maaf Zahir Batin. How is your raya going on so far? Balik kampung? or kampung balik to you? u know, relatives all swarming your house ;)

As for me and my family, Raya is a bit different this time around. New experience. My auntie is in a critical condition, warded in ICU because of cancer. She is fighting for her life, while other ppl are celebrating Raya. It saddens the whole family to see her lying on bed, supported by the machine for every breath she takes. My auntie aka Mak Som who is once a jovial, caring person is now unable to move her mouth, yet alone utter joyful words of Raya. Only her teary eyes, moving left to rite staring at ppl who surround her. As if trying to tell us something. We try not to cry in front of her, because we need to motivate her and give her as much strength and willpower as we can. We are praying hard for her recovery but at present, things seems complicated.

Lets hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Really appreciate if you guys could also extend a prayer/doa for the best for her. insyAllah.

And yes, to also make things worse my munchkin is far away from me this Raya. Its not that i want to celebrate raya together with him going around ppl's house wearing matching baju raya.(not yet la) *stick tounge out* but it would mean a lot more to me if he's around tapikan, he's still very close to my heart *jiwang pulak* hehe

Anyway, once again, I wish you guys Happy Eid!

My Songs: My Feelings

I'm listening to my Mp3 songs in my room.

Current song playing, "Loves You Lately". Daniel Powter. He keeps on repeating, 'I'm the one that loves you lately. I'm the one that loves you lately.' 'Lately?' Does that mean that he might change his mind? Change his feelings? Not knowing whether he will still love his partner in future? When you love that person, you will love him no matter what. If you are talking about true love that is. But then again, how do we know whether that love is the true one love that we claim it to be? To think about it, people change, environment changes, internally and externally. So how can you control you feelings? You might love that person in the first place, but you cant control how your partner feels and that includes his environment.The same goes to you. So I guess, love can also change in time to come. That's why we have couple breaking up, husband and wife divorcing and family breaking apart. Only thing is, whether the feeling's gonna be stronger or weaker? Time will tell. We can just hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Next song playing: Nelly Furtado. All Good Things Come to an End. I guess everything will come to an end. No matter how good or bad the thing is. But of course, if possible, we do not want the good thing to end. To keep on going forever. So we can enjoy the happy feelings. But come on, we are not living in a fantasy world. Everything will end. Including us. Its part and parcel of life but we can at least enjoy the moment when it happens. And you must realize the moment. If not, you will regret it. Trust me. We normally dont appreciate what we have until its no longer there. Dont take things for granted. But I know, we normally do that and I am not excluded.

Next song playing: 'Take That. Patience'. True, when people say that you normally hurt the person who loves you. I believe that its not intended. We just tend to be more sensitive to the person we love. Every little thing counts. If you take it too much to your heart, you will definitely feel hurt. Believe me. We cant lie to ourselves. We might feel hurt. Accept and sink in the feelings but just dont keep it inside too long. In the end, you will feel more hurt and not your partner. Forgive and forget. Just take the person as who he is and accept his weaknesses. You cant change him. It will take time and I am not talking about one hour or one week. Might take longer than that. Unless the person himself wants to change. God bless! Just be patient and adapting is important. I guess that is love. When you start realizing that you can't turn him into a robot that will listen to all your instructions. They have feelings and they are brought up differently from you. Genetically different. You have your own weaknesses. So, fair enough. Key word: Compromise and cooperation. Not from one side but both. I repeat, not from one side but both.

So from my songs, you can realize that I listen to mostly slow-dreamy-fantasy love songs. I believe in love. I really do. In fact, I love this someone. Very much. You know who you are.

Push Factor

Each individual would like to achieve the best in his life. To live his dreams and hopes. I am also one of them. I am in fact a great dreamer. I dream too much that I worry much as well. Sometimes, I notice that I complicate even the slightest issues. It can be solved within 5 mins but I have the tendency to make the issue lasts up to 15 mins. Er come to think of if it, I think it’s more than that. Maybe because I like to take into consideration many things. Too many things = complicated. Some people just do it. I want to learn how to just DO IT! I want. I want. I don’t want to worry too much of what people think. Nurul Aini Abdullah just god damn do it!!

Surprise!

Wow!! should i still make an entry cuz its been like ages since my last entry :) Have always wanted to post entries but everytime i started to write or rather type, something will crop up. My pc hang la, no ideas la, internet too slow la. BUT actually, to tell u the truth im just trying to find excuses to cover my laziness. hehe

So how have u guys been? Hope everyyyyyyyoneee is doing fine. For me, life is still life. Many things had happened within this past 5 months and will continue to happen as life goes on. No point of me digging the past. Whats more important is the future and MOST importantly is that tomorrow is a public holiday for Johoreans! whopeee!! Long live the King!

Since last month, i wanted to go for leave but always tak jadi. Most of the mornings, ill be thinking, should i go to work or not today? but then, BAM! like a hard knock on my head. I remembered i have things to submit, things to update, things to see. So there goes my plan for MC. :P

i wonder how a Prime Minister feels like, every morning when he wakes up. If he ever managed to sleep that is. Imagine. He has to face the country, the nation everyday. The country's political issues attacking him from all angles. The country's social problems mushrooming every second. International issues involving the country,needs to be attended to. Carrying such huge responsibilities on his shoulders. Cant blame Pak Lah with whats been going on lately. Tougher for him as his wife passed away this year. Im not siding with anyone. In the first place, i dont want to discuss about political issues. Im not political-educated myself. So i know nothing about politics. Just read whatever been written in the papers. Kesian Pak Lah but still, one have to be really strong mentally as well as physically to become a PM. Not only PM but in any high position job. Actually, every occupation has its own challenges. Depends on how u see it. A high school headmaster might have different responsibilities than a CEO of an international firm. Still it does not guarantee that the CEO can become an excellent headmaster. or the headmaster can become an excellent CEO. Am i talking sense here? My point is, different job requires different capabilities. It depends on the person who is executing the job. whether he is fit enuff to hold that position and each individual has its own strengths and weaknesses. Its how u play around with it. Wahhh aku ni bile bckp bukan main lagi tapi bile kene kat batang hidung sendiri. terdiam. :) Itulah nurul aini. hehe

Erm. What else to say huh? oh ya, im totally broke this month. Settled a lot of bills. Cheh as if i have a family to support. Its my own expenses but serves me rite though :) Okla. hopefully ill be 'hardworking' enuff to write another entry. i promise *cross fingers behind*

About Me

Got stains on my t-shirt
and I'm the biggest flirt.
Right now I'm solo but
that will be changing eventually.
I laugh more than I cry.
You piss me off, good-bye.
Got bruises on my heart
and sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto,
want my autobiography
BABY, JUST ASK ME :)

Quotable Quote

"If I had eight hours to chop down a tree,
I'd spend six sharpening my axe."
(Abraham Lincoln)
