Belajar undang undang

17 - 18 January 2011

A good start to a new year.  Tupai & colleague di anjung belajar undang undang Labour negeri Sarawak at Eastwood Valley.  Original venue supposed to be at the new Imperial Palace Hotel, tang meh last minit betukar ke Eastwood.  Hasrat hati ka meda util baru enda kesampaian.

Cigu kami tok (Dr Selvanathan) from Melaka.  Rindu amat di ajar ya.  Rangkai gusi laban udu mai ketawa di bai ya.  Laban law is a boring subject, aku sigi ngadang diri tindok throughout the two days, but we all really had fun and gained a lot of knowledge.  Amat bebakat Cigu tok.

ha..ha..bulih sepitikit aja tapi bedau bulih pangkat Luya.

The rest of the students.

This is the best part.  He..He..He

Bungai inglis......

EtE ukai semina minat inglis home decor; bungai inglis pen minat especially roses.  Apa bole buat fingers tupai not green enough, pama udah meli pun rose, bai pulai rumah alu mati not long after that.  

Huh....so ka nguji nanam hydrangea.  Last Friday, Tupai and madik; Seraiwangi ngalu ke Emart, ka ke bank, tang meh bank fully booked, so enda nyadi, alu mansa kedai nyual baja bungai.  Saw a few hydrangea plants; alu meli siti nguji nanam.

Hopefully this remain pink laban bungai tok nemu betukar color, ko tokay bungai.

Laban udah bisi color blue.

Gardenia.  Batang bai ari universiti, ujak ngapa, ka gak nyadi.

Towards the end of year, ati sigi not in opis anymore.  Semampai looking forward to holidays.  School holidays la, christmas, New year.  Makan-makan and ngabang-ngabang is always on my mind...he..he..

Bekeni ulih live with the mess ngelama tu neh?..I wonder.

Happy birthday

12.1.11  Happy babday to Papa Tupai.  Enda berasai umur nyau ka manggai setengah abad. ehem..biar lah rasia ku...rasia mu.

Taja pia, agi hensem di mata tupai.  And most of all, thanking God for a wonderful and faithful hubby, (even though not romantic.) What more could a wife ask for?

Tupai and anak anak surprised him with a birthday cake last night.  Cake ukai digaga Tupai (he.he.) bedau pass.

Back To School (a bit too late entry...)

For 1 and a half month, towards the end of 2010, rumah EtE riuh rendah, tunggang langgang baka tongkang karam due to school holiday season. Routine bala anak; tindok, dani, makai, meda TV/DVD (gusti ke mayoh gik)raun and mess up the place.  'sigh'...niboh ngau cardio, ngemas rumah udah cukup bepeluh.  It happens every school holidays anyway..

Now its back to quiet, tranquil and neat except for the weekend mess. Look, I'm not complaining, just sharing.  I'm actually fearing the day our nest becomes empty. I would be missing the noisy days.  I'm just telling myself to appreciate each and every day of the noise, the mess and their whims and fancies because before you know it, you are all alone.  'sedis ku ngenang'....Life is like that.

Anyway beserimbai ngau musim sekula start, jadual Ete pun sendat.  Tumu pagi with the mata still kulap2 ngantok, nyau beranjung school.  Fortunately papa tupai has been cooperative for the past 2 years, his turn is bringing them home.

Lemai pulai kerja, baju sekula mesti rendam dulu laban mesti diberus, especially for the youngest, kadang kadang pengamah mengalahkan orang pulai ari umai.

Malam ari nyau ga tuition.  Suba we send the kids to the tutor house.  Now, the tutor comes to our house; easier but costlier.

Speaking of costlier, this two years Ete really have to tarik handbrake meli toys, laban nyau melanja tuition fees bala anak. Ka pen enda, school aja enda ulih arap.

Ko Papa Tupai, enti enda cukup duit, nyin gadai..(pointing to my beloved portmeirion..hu..hu..hu..)

Benong concentrate; tuition time
