It's Never too Late till You Hear the Fat Lady Sings...

I’m a big believer in fate… I always say, “If you’re meant to be together, you’re meant to be together, no matter how long or how far it will take you! Allah’s knows best and only He knows with whom you will be spending your life with. Just have faith!” So, I guess this is her fate... with him...

She loves him, and if she loves him and she’s happy being with him, then who am I to tell her otherwise? As a friend, I want her to be happy and if she's contented spending her life with him and if he can bring contentment in her life, then I am pleased and glad for her! I will pray for her happiness!

Sometimes I wished that we are able to see it when we're in love – see what type of person he/she truly is before we get ourselves in matrimony, but I presume that when you’re in love, it somehow blinded you - all seems to be well and dandy... All the nasty things that he/she did, you somehow sweep it under the carpet, hoping that it will be forgotten and that it will go away or you just don’t let it bother you. But by some means, others were able to catch sight of their true colours (Others as in friends, relatives, colleageus etc) and when truth being told, it’s forever difficult for us to acknowledge it or to comprehend why they are telling you lies. Out of spite? Out of jealousy?

I don’t deny that it didn’t happen to me. My love life ain’t that perfect – breakups, makeups, that’s part and parcel of falling in love isn’t it? I mean, I did fell in love with a guy whom my sister, or friends dislike, andmy respond will be, “Well, you don’t know him so butt off! I love him and he loves me.” And until one day something bad happened, then you go, “Sigh, why didn’t I listen to them?”

I surmise every now and then, for some of us it might take longer than we anticipated to apprehend what sort of person he/she really is… It’s never easy to find the right person to spend the rest of our life with & At times we might think that he could be the one for you, but then the unthinkable happen… an argument set in, you screamed and shouted at each other, said things that you both didn’t mean – and all you know, you broke up, divorce, seperated... and all that…

Then again, how can we tell the good from the bad? There’s absolutely no way that we are able to tell them apart (unless we've got some magic powers or psychic or something)… Either we’ve got to live and learn with it, or just move along and find the next best thing.

I hope that whatever decisions people make will somehow make them become a stronger and better person - change for the better they say.

Making decision is never an easy thing to do, but when you think about, life is all about making decisions ain't it? We've got to do it whether we like it or not (do we have a choice?) – heck, who else will make the option for you but yourself?!. Your future is at stake, so think carefully of your verdict… Whatever we decide, never regret with the choice that we make no matter how bad or how foolish it may seems… Learn from it and move on… It’s never the end of the world if we make the wrong decision, just make sure that we don’t repeat the same mistake again. Live and Learn... Right?

Easier said than done but we still got to do it!

Magic Carpet

"Look! It's Mike's Carpets! C'mon, let;s have a look at his shop!" the shouted out and seconds later, we were stood inside 'Mike's Carpets' store!

Now, for a non-Briton, we ask ourselves, "Who the heck is Mike and why are they so excited when they see Mike's Carpet? Isn't is just another bloke who owns a Carpet store? Hmmmmnn?"

Apparently, Mike is this infamous bloke who owns a carpet store (obviously) and did his own commercial on telly and radio, and so they just want to check out if this Mike is in the store. And yes, there was Mike, on his phone to somebody and excitedly Darling goes, "That's Mike the Carpet man!" And all I can give him was a blank look. No clue as who the heck is this Mike that they were making a big deal about! So anyway, Luc & An were browsing for carpets while me and Hubby were browsing for rugs, and there it was, stood boldly from the rest, I saw my rug! The rug that I wanted to lay on the Dinning room floor... People might think it's horrible but I think it will look great! So, without any persuasion or hesitation or negotiation (the price is right, so no need for negotiation!), with us both agreed to the designs, the width, length, height, colour, we paid it in cash and got ourselves this nice, colourful rug (pictures below!)...

A bit of change...

Untitled...

“You are those sort of people that do what people tell you to do. You know, when they say jump you, say how high and not why. They are just taking the piss out of you and that’s not right! You’ve got to have a mind of your own! If they ask you to eat shit, would you then?” the man starts

“Now don’t be absurd all right! You’re way out of your line here mister! Look, I’m just doing my job and I don’t wanna make a fuss out of anything! If he says to do this, then if it does make sense and if I see that there’s nothing else for me to do, then I’ll do it! Doesn’t mean that I run around him like a dog whenever he calls my name! Gee Weez! Chill out will ya! What is your problem?” the woman said with annoyance in her tone

“No! It still ain’t right! You should know your priorities! If you’re not supposed to do it, then DON'T DO IT! Not just say yes I’ll do it after whatever! Just say NO, It’s not your job to do those you know! How hard can say no be? You say no to me all the time!” the man starts to argue back, anger in his tone of voice

“Oh piss off will ya! Go play with yourself! Have enough of you breathing down my neck the the moment I come in! Go home will ya! Go back to your little Miss Perfect! I don’t need you here lecturing me about what I should or shouldn’t do! I had a bad day at work and looking forward to seeing you, and what do I get? You shouting insults at me! F£$% off!” the woman getting more infuriated

“Now look! Don’t be mad! I’m sorry okay! It’s just that, I hate seeing you like this. I mean, it’s crystal clear that you hate this job and yet you still don’t wanna leave! Is there something going on between you two that I didn’t know?” the man, trying to calm the woman down, speaking in his softest voice

“That’s it! I had enough of you for today! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! LEAVE ME ALONE YOU ASININE!” the woman screamed and start throwing the can by the bedside at the man as he gets out of the bed...

She started crying, and he walked out of the apartment.

Clueless...


Save yourself! Run people run! It’s starting all over again! Grab whatever you could do with and just get out! Get out! Get out!!!!!! Run and save yourself! It’s toying with us so just be on the alert! Anytime people, anytime it will hit us once more! For God Sake save your children, save your pets, take only the essential! Don’t shilly-shally, just run like there’s no tomorrow and save your soul!!!

WAIT! Stop people! Just hold on a second! Calm down everyone! Stop this bedlam! Shhhhhhh…. Listen… it has come to an end. Alright now, everyone just calm down and move at a snail's pace…alright you’re now just taking the piss… not that slow?!! Just walk at a quick pace and no, you can’t hop around… Gosh! Okay people, it’s all clear now… The sun is out and the downpour has died down …

What panic it caused us all! We were losing it! Almost lose control of ourselves for a while there…

Jee Weez!! Okay folks! Carry on with your business… All’s well now… Alright move along… Yah, that’s right… You! Kid with the Blossom hat! Don’t give me that look, just walk away, that’s it… Just move along kid!! Why I oughta… Tsk… Kids…

Okay, so just a tiny bit of hyperbole and dramatic but heck, it was such an enormous downpour that I was actually afraid to go out! The weather keeps changing every minute and every hour and it’s really aggravating. I mean one minute it’s sunny hooh and the next thing you hear, phssshhhsshshshsh, heavy shower. You’re just… unpredictable weather and I love you!

Then there’s this long weekend, Bank Holiday Monday (wooo Hooo!) and I ask myself, MamiJarum, what will you be doing? Will you be away to somewhere exotic? Lake District maybe or Ireland? Or possibly to Devon as Nour had recommend or maybe to Scotland or what about New York Baby! So, where MamiJarum, where oh where will you be & what will you do?

And I heave a sigh… Truth be told that I don’t have the slightest clue as to what or where I/we will be doing or going over the long weekend… No car to take us to places and so, without THAT important means of transport, we are trapped at home UNLESS we hitch a ride with friends but that won’t be the case.

Maybe do some Wallpapering? I mean the walls need new wallpaper and we have the materials all ready for it… How sad and boring the life of MamiJarum can be, eh? But… Maybe with a little bit of persuasion, we will go down to Chester Zoo? What? The ZOO! You are out of your mind MamiJarum! Or Ice Skating in Bradford? Or Bowling in Bradford or Leeds? Gotta think of something AT THE DOUBLE!

Aaaaaah!!! Maybe a BBQ at our place! Yah! That will be great - Sunday in all probability?

Ooooh! I’m excited now! Gotta make some phone calls…. Hmmm, where’s that emergency BBQ lists that I always bring with me?

Okay, so here’s the Invitation:

Venue:
MamiJarum Crib in Shelf
Time:
6pm onwards (until all are wasted!)
What to bring:

Whatever you fancy – food would be essential and drinks on top of that
(yes this is “a bring your own food and drinks” kind of BBQ)
What to wear:

Whatever you fancy but don’t forget umbrellas and raincoat – just in case and welly (right spelling?) boots
Who will be there:

Oh the normal in-crowds, Celebs… etc like James Blunt W, MamiJarum, Ian Murphy Brown, Lucy Ball W, Michael Learns to Rock – all those people… You know, the ‘A’ class…

So, don’t be coy… do drop by if you reside near Halifax-Shelf or give me a tinkle and we all can meet up at MamiJarum BBQ… Awreet???


PS: Just kidding! Food and drinks will be served by yours truly! So just bring yourself and some drinks if you so require… Just makes sure that you bring something alright! Shame on you for coming to someone’s crib empty-handed! Tsk! Tsk!

PPS: Must talk this through with Mr. MamiJarum. He has no clue of my proposition! Sorry Lurve!

Love
MJ

Its Raining Man...Padadada!!!

So the dark clouds and the rain decided to stay put in West Yorkshire at the moment. Don’t know about the rest of England but in Shelf, one and all was woken up in the morning by the sound of the rain hitting gently yet perceptibly either on the road or on the windowpane… I love the smell of rain. Mak always says that whenever it rains never moan about it. Well, don’t we sometimes moan when it started to rain and the sun had to take time out? Mak always says the rain is “Hujan Rahmat…” I donno how to translate this in English, but for those who are able to, do help me out here!

Anyway, it seems like the rain will stay put for the whole day & I’m loving it! I was contemplating whether I should skive off from work today or not, you know, call in sick seeing that it’s such an ideal day to just stay in bed, with my comfy duvet covering my entire body, warming me up – but then I chicken out. Decided not to as I am too responsible of a person to do this ‘dirty’ job! Ehhmm… Yah! Whatever! As if I’m that goody!!! Thing was, it’s good that I didn’t skive off from work coz apparently, Youn (my colleague) is off to Manchester today at about 2pm. Even the boss doesn’t know that! Wish he would let us know in advance!
Anyhoo, it doesn’t matter!

Squash last night was superb! I enjoyed myself immensely and so did the rest of the folks that was with me! I partnered with Luc and to my disbelief (yes! She took the wind out of my sails! I was gobsmacked) she wasn’t as bad as I anticipated! Not saying that she will play horribly coz I’m not that nasty, but I never thought that she would enjoy the game that much and didn’t winged one bit! Andie was sweating profusely! I mean he was drenched with sweats (oooiiiieeee!!!) but Darling, well, he’s in the pink (in good physical shape – well, sort of but he’s not overweight or obese or anything), so, we don’t see much of those sweats on him.

Next week again same time, same place, only this time, I will play against Darling coz he’s really good at it and will definitely kick my arse and I need that adrenaline rush! I need to run around the court like a mad woman!

I know that this is old news but NASHA AZIZ is married to AKO MUSTAPHA apparently and I was only able to read the headline somewhere over the internet but if this is true, can someone please send me an article about this or if there’s pictures, please send me those pixs!

Sis! I know this looks silly and sound silly and I know what you gonna say but I am intrigued!!! I do really want to know if this is true or not!!!! She is one of my favourite actress if you must know!!! Must confirm!!!!!

So, that’s that for today… Shall we discuss about what it takes to be a good writer next?

Love

MamiJarum

"Happy Birthday To Yoooooouuuuuu!!!

So I called mum today to wish her a Happy Birthday... She's 57 today but she still looks good as ever - doesn't look her age at all! It's soo good to hear her chirpy voice again! It's been about a year and half (more or less) since I've seen her, and that includes dad also and sis and the rest of the family but I miss the most is mak and ayah and sis... Of course I miss R & L & Ru without a doubt... R's busy now with her wedding plans etc and I'm just excited for that day to come where I'm able to be there with her to celebrate the joyous occasion! Just can't wait!!! Gosh... Boss now is annoying me now! Mimicking the voice of this woman that he's spoken to...

Anyway, forget about the boss, let's continue.

So today, Darlin, me, And and Luc will be playing squash after so many months of not playing, I kinda miss it! It's a lie, it's not months, it's more like years since we played squash together - me & darling that is... Never play squash with And and Luc, so good luck MamiJarum & Darling! GC! I'm running again starting Friday!!! I promise you, I will continue running Friday onwards & I won't stop till I drop!!!

Weekend was great! Sun's out shining on us and it was just beautiful.

to be continued...

1948


Me, Mak (Middle), Bibik & The Niece & Nephew @ the Zoo!!!

Look at my phone, 6.30am... Time to wake myself up... Gotta drag myself out of bed but don want to... Why! Why must I go to work? Can't I just stay in... just lay in this very, very comfortable bed of mine, covering myself with the nice cool duvet, with my oh so comfy pillow… dreaming away, put out of my mind that I’ve got a job to go to… Trying so hard to keep myself awake but… just give me 10 more minutes and I’ll be up… Just 10 more minutes….
Krrroooooooohhhhh….

23rd August is coming soon and I won’t be there to celebrate this great day with the one I love… I have to miss it again…
The most important day for my love and yet, I can’t be there… I’m just sadden by the thought of not being there, not being able to see that face, smiling gaily, looking as elegant as ever…
How my love have complete my life…
From the minute that I was born and now an adult, never can I forget all the sacrifices that my love have to go through… been through thick and thin and still stronger as ever… Failing not to give me all the support I ever needed in my years of living in this world.
Giving me the love – the unconditional love… A superb and top class individual…

There were times that I have disappointed you, made you cry - which I hated myself for doing that to you… There were times when I never listen to you, I was too head-strong, I was too proud to admit my mistakes, always want to have the last words…
But back then, I was only a teenager… I was rude, I was a teenager, I was a rebel… and I hated myself for being the way I was… I was ashamed and outraged at myself for my behaviour…
But back then… I was a teenager and don’t know better…

Now, as an adult and reflecting back those years, I realize how patient you are, how forgiving you are, how much crap you have to put up with, especially from me…
But you still love me no matter…

You are and always will be a remarkable woman…

My mother who has always been there for me no matter… The unconditional love that she give me… an amazing woman and how I miss her dearly… Our telephone conversation…. I would hate to miss it. I would hate not able to hear that voice… that sweet and spirited hello and between our conversations, slyly she will ask when I’ll be pregnant… We will laugh and just leave it as it was…

A remarkable woman with a kind heart, kind soul, caring spirit, generous… Above all, she has brought up two wonderful girls that love her tremendously and don’t know what we’ll do without all her support when in need, all the wise advice and all the love that she’s given us… We will be lost without you mak coz you’re the strongest one in the family…

Thank you Mak for all that you’ve done for us… You have been an incredible mother and nothing compares to you… No words can describe how lucky we are to have you in our life but all we can say to you is that
WE LOVE YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAK…

Permanent...

Yap! Yap! Confirmed, signed and sealed... From now on, this will be my permanent and new blog... I just feel that I need to move on... I need to breathe new air, I need new environment, new mind, new life... Oh hang on... Not a new life coz at the moment am very contented with my life right now... So, yes, I am running away from all sorts... Call me a chicken if you want, a drama quees (which I am), I don really care awreet.... Hee! Hee! I just feel that to get away is to start anew, start fresh... Don't you think? Yes I do... Whatever people want to say about me, be it... I'm here to make friends and build friendship and not enemies, so there! Awreeet...

Now, for the benefit of my friends (that only know about this blog), above are some of the pictures that I took when I was at the barn with Darlin... I swear that there must be a way that I can put up an album in this blog... Gotta check this out when I have time...
Time! Please be on my side!!!! Ugggghhhhh...

So, I had a smashing time at the Barn in Skippy with Darling... Had a nice long walk to Kettlewell, we laughed, we teased, we joke around, he farts, I fart and we compare to see who's the loudest and the smelliest and polluting the clean fresh air... Ooooiiiiii!!!

It was just beautiful! That's why I love it when we go to the barn coz we get to to have that long walk by the farm, by the lake, pass the local pubs, saying hellos to people we know, people we don't know... People are just more friendlier when you're at the barn in Skippy... I love being there, staying there! So peaceful, so calm... No crime, no worries - everyone know you by your name and everytime we go in a Pub, the landlord will call you by name and everyone will automaticall says their hellos...

So, welcome MamiJarum to your new blog coz I'm sure you'll be loving it...

I do apologise to all my friends for the hassle of changing to a new blog... I feel that there's a need to, for my own benefit I guess, I feel that a change is needed!

So, enjoy yourself MamiJarum coz you deserve it as you are such a nice and sincere person... Gosh! I am just sooo full of myself aren't I? Forgive me for I am just a humble person... Really, I am... I just wanna make friends... Sincerely I do... Anywhere, anyone... doesn't matter at all! Just pure, clean, fun-going, loving people that won't misunderstood me coz I hate being mizunderstood....

Check out those pictures y'all!!!!
