28 to 30.

apa kejadahnya upgrading segala bagai ni?

i teruja nak upgrade blog template i ni, but bila tengok if nak upgrade template baru ni banyak sangat hassle, tambah pulak susahnya i nak start all over again, last-last i go back to my old template.

memang teringin nak buat template sendiri. malangnya waktu membataskan segalanya. takde masa gua nak explore sume ni. mau tak tido semalaman if asyik dok membelek html codes and what not. * i nak serve food kat sarip dol tak sampai 10 minit pon ada yang dah tunjuk muka tak puas hati.. ahahaha.. *

it's time i got myself that thing i've been longing for. at the same time, if i got myself that, i can consider a lot of thing in my life. i can blog regularly (alasan bangang ni), i can help my other half with his work, i can manage my sarip dol effectively.. eh.

can this be considered as my upcoming birthday wish list? ngahahaa..

anyway....

speaking of gifts, i'm not that kind of person who always expect to get anything for my birthday. maybe sebab dari kecik mister mama & papa tak penah amalkan amalan memberi hadiah ketika tibanya hari ulangtahun kot. like mister papa, pada dia, birthday itu cukuplah sekadar bersyukur kepada Allah yang kita masih bernafas untuk menikmati kehidupan.

unlike mister mama, walaupon dia tak amalkan jugak, tapi she's the type of person yang suka memberi and terima hadiah. walaupon mister papa jarang shower her with gifts, tapi mister mama adalah sempoi. lagipon, she knows how to earn her own pocket money. so bila dia ada duit dari hasil titik peluh dia sendiri, dia beli la apa yang dia suka. tak susahkan sesiapa. and i think sebab tu la anak-anak dia pon ikut macam dia. satisfaction to the max!

pernah dulu, at that time i just received my upsr result. sebab result yang bagus, i dapat penghulu segala huruf, sama untuk setiap 5 subjek ketika itu (read: 5As. saja taknak bangga. eh. dah tertulis pon. heh.). sebelum tu, ada beberapa individu (sedara-mara la ni) yang dah verbally promised dengan i, if i dapat straight As, i'd get a bike la, i'd get rm10 for each A laa.. so when the day i brought that lil slip home, i showed to everyone but didn't mention anything about getting present la sebab, like i said earlier, tak pernah diajar untuk mintak itu ini walaupon i remembered about the promise. and seperti yang dijangka, janji tinggal janji aka harapan palsu jela yang dorang berikan sebab masing-masing buat macam tak pernah janji apa-apa dengan i la.

tapi, being me, i kept my cool and told myself not to think too much about it. until the next few days, i received a package from mister mama. she said the present was from her eldest sister, my auntie bibah. when i opened it, it was a walkman! mind you, having a walkman at that time was the in thing for the teenagers in my era *rasa macam tua sangat la pulak. padahal it was bloody 1991.* eventho it was not a sony, aiwa was the next best brand one could ever have! i jumped in joy and asked mister mama to thank her on my behalf. and at that time, i know i couldn't count on verbal promises. surprises beat promises big time! betul? i was bragging about my walkman each time orang tanya mana dapat.. hahaha.

and tah macamana tah, few years after that, i found out that the walkman wasn't actually a gift from my auntie. it was mister mama who bought it sebab dia kesian kat i sebab orang lain janji bagi present but i never got any. oh boy, i was angry to the max when mister mama revealed her darkest secret! *dangg! i thought i recognised the handwriting on the lil card!*
since then, i never bother to think about any rewards or gifts at all. ada, adalah.. takde takpe.

but the most memorable birthday gift i could ever think of so far was, a home made chocolate cake baked by mister mama YANG arwah opah suruh buat pada setiap 1 muharram. few days before satu muharram mesti arwah opah would remind her to bake the cake and when the day came, arwah opah akan bagi kek tu together with rm10 as my islamic-calendar birthday gift (i was born on 1st muharram 1400, that's where my name came about). goshh.. i missed my arwah opah!

anyway, of course la i appreciate every single presents that i've ever received in my whole 29 years of living! jangan kecik hati pulak if i didn't mention it here.
