A Homemaker’s Diary

I’m just sharing the article about my SOHO business with all the readers who happen to read my blog. I might be scanning the article soon but for now, you all can read it online until The Star archives it somewhere else..hehe!

Making up for a waning tradition

I woke up to several missed calls and SMS from people who read the article in the newspaper. Some are long lost friends, ex-colleagues, University friends and even potential clients and students. But not much traffic to the business website though even though the writer did mention my URL and all..heh!

For those friends who have been supporting me all this while, thank you so much!

I know this is so bad of me to gossip about such thing, but I have been reading news about the handsome Malaysia Angkasawan being gay..though it hurts because he shouldn’t be but with ever weird world now, sometimes the most unthinkable is actually true. So while searching for wedding picture of Erra Fazira with Engku Emran (they got married on 25 Oct 2007 - Thursday), I found this picture on this site : Angkasawan Malaysia Pertama & Girlfriend.

Even if a guy has the lust for woman, it doesn’t mean he’s totally straight. I knew few men (one is a well-known Datuk) who has kids and wife but still go for another guy’s ass..huhu! I’m not sure which one is worse, totally gay or a bisexual. What do you think?

Anyway, if she’s a girlfriend at least half of my doubt is already cleared but then again the clarity is still blurred about the issue mentioned above. Please Dr Sheikh, tell me you are really straight!

I was watching the news yesterday when I heard about the girl who was murdered and left in a bag. Looking at the picture shown by the police, I can see that she was a pretty little girl, same like the missing girl Nurin.

I think lately Malaysia is turning into a crime scene place with people killing their own children, kids missing from home, and later when found dead, nobody even notices or comes forward to claim the body.

What is happening to this once peaceful country? I remember when I was around their age to be able to go to school on my own for co-curricular activities and later take a bus home without having so much concern of being kidnapped, sexually assaulted or murdered. And yet now going out to pasar malam alone is dangerous enough.

I always wonder what happen to the missing children? Were they sent abroad to be child prostitutes or sold to foreign countries to be mutilated and forced to be beggars? What happen to humanity in mankind? Are we too greedy looking for more money and world’s riches that we have to sell and kill another soul? This is sad..

If you are looking for news on Pak Lah kawin lagi..maybe you will find some juicy and more dash news on others blogs. But for my blog, you can only see the picture of the First Lady (do we consider her as First Lady in Malaysia? unlike in US where they don’t have any DYMM Agong and such and only President to rule the country..hehe)

Anyway, she Jeanne Abdullah is his ex biras (or any other better term in Malay? it’s the connection you have with the spouse of your bother in law) which make her the aunt of his children.

I think it’s quite common in Malay culture, to remarry to your sister in law (something my grandma called as ganti tikar) or someone else in the deceased wife’s family. It’s better than to have a complete stranger wreak havoc in your family.

At least that would make it easier for the children to adjust to life with new step mom when the real mom was no longer there…huhu..I don’t know… Sometimes people marry for love, but most of the time people marry for necessities - anything like power, influence, support, money, connection and love could grow later.

I hope Pak Lah will be more happy and will be better taken care of by his new wife. It’s hard being alone without spouse. Having children is not enough, they can’t take the role of a wife or a husband.

The role of a spouse goes beyond the sex and everything else young couples look for and single people thought about, especially when you are in the veteran age. You need someone to rely on for comfort, for support and encouragement especially when you are running a country. Marriage is more than the heat between the sheet.

For me, if I were to die from terminal disease, I would find a replacement for Hubby before I die. At least I know once I’m gone he will be taken care of by someone who could love him (at least) as much as I do…(seriously, I’m not joking!)

Who cares about the money that the second wife will enjoy, after all I’m already dead..why should I be jealous of the living, right! If you are the best wife, you will still be his No.1 no matter dead or alive.

It is with sad heart that I write this, as of today I notice that Tiki, my pet hamster is dying. I realized she has not been up to playing, eating and drinking for the past 2-3 days, but I was so busy and I just thought maybe she just like to hibernate. It was the same thing that happened to Toko a year ago but I just never thought that the time will come for her as well.

She is sleeping like a ball now, with sick eyes and wet tail, the same symptoms that happen to all old, dying hamsters. It’s hard for me to accept it but if she must go, I would let her go with all my love for her. I would rather it be fast than for her to suffer in so much pain.

I don’t know whether I will keep another pet after this, when they died it just so painful to accept. I hope she will be happy with Toko in hamster’s heaven soon!

This is the picture I took of her last April, it’s blur but this is her latest picture before she fall sick. This month I am so busy that I could not take any picture of hers. She was just being her playful self a few days ago but today she is so weak and doesn’t even have the energy to eat anymore.

I could take her to vet like what I did last time with Toko but I know there’s nothing that could be done with her condition now. So rather than let her die in vet’s place I would like Tiki to have her last breathe in her own place she loves so much. I hope I have been treating her good for this past one year.

May you go in peace, Tiki!
