Giving Thanks

i finally got the presents maria bought for amir. she bought sometime in 2005. thank you maria...

















the office will be having a big employee gathering (in other words, townhall) tomorrow. we usually have townhalls for certain levels of staff or if it for everyone, its usually followed by a makan-makan. this time around, it will be a different sort of townhall. we will be having it at an external location and it will be a big half-day event. imagine...the whole office will be out for half a day.

i wonder what is the reason behind this. at townhalls, the head of the company usually announces a few things, rally the employees and talk about the company's future. will it be more than that this time around? will there be things, that i will be thankful, for announced? with 3 boys going to daycare, i certainly hope so. i wonder if the reason for william's visit to langkawi will also be announced tomorrow. he didnt look me in the eye when i asked him why he went...hmmm. normal, i cant help it...i'm a curious individual :)

there's another thing i'm thankful for. i'm thankful that i am capable. no...i'm not a superwoman or supermummy that people have been labeling me. i would never consider myself that. but i am capable. i'm capable of bringing my boys for their monthly check ups and immunisation alone (even though i got a long lecture from the doctor on bringing 3 boys by myself). i'm capable enough to bring my boys to the daycare alone. i'm capable enough to handle them at home alone. i'm capable enough to bathe, feed, play, put my boys to bed. i'm capable enough to go all the way to the UK for registration when i was just 19 years old while a 20 year old needs the whole kampung to help her register locally. i'm capable enough to pay for my boys's things while 30 year olds call to borrow money. even though some people take it for granted, i'm thankful for that.

Dear eiseai

I'm a mother of 3, 3.5yo, 2yo and 6 months baby. Although you dont feel/think u r a supermom, i know u r coz i KNOW how hard it is to deal with them 3, all by yourself. Mabrook!!

I've seen u with 3 kids and you are supermom to me. I was in your position raising 3 kids(when I delivered the 3rd, the first 2 was 3 and 2), but alhamdulilah now they are all schooling things become easier...

And I was really being honest William went to Langkawi due to backlog in Langkawi office, he can't look you in the eye sebab tak tahan panahan mata u kot??

knew the sesi meluahkan perasaan would be blogged about...

but didnt know u knew the malay ayat thingy...apa ke benda tu? hahahaha...

btw, dah..dah..dah..crybaby...hahahahaha...nasib baik amir hero... :p

eiseais said...

firstly...thanks to everyone for their nice words. i wasnt asking for sympathy honestly. i was just very down because i feel i'm being taken for granted...maybe its easier to just go "i donno" "tak tau" "tak pandai"

hudhud...thanks so much. i'm just happy to know that i'm not alone, feeling this way :)

kittie...haha...u hear? ok...

dot...yes you are a supermummy, boat-mate :)

pn marfuza memang boleh. tapi kadang lagi senang cakap tak boleh kan? at least ada orang tolong kita...

maria...thanks so much for the barang2. amir yang sibuk pakai bib and main dengan bear. he wont let anyone else touch it.

normal...yeah, when they start school its easier in some ways, but it also gets harder in other ways kan? but am coping fine so far, alhamdulillah. william malu kat i ke?

tiza...takut okayyyy that night. amir was scared but he was strong for me. hahaha...the malay i also donno what it meant, just felt nice at that time...

Liasari said...

oops...sumthing happened recently that triggered this entry?
honestly, u r one supermom. i know ada ramai lg supermom like u, but i don't know/never met them, but i know u.
i cud have done what u did/went through with ur boys, stand firm on ur own, but i choose to share them with my other half. share secara terpaksa & memaksa.
bcoz if i were to do everything on my own, am gonna have to close the door 4 him.
ohhh apa aku cakap ni...
u r doing well.

eiseais said...

lia...memang kena share. not the the responsibility, the orang pun must share unfortunately.

Scatty-Kat said...

DEFINITELY a supermum!! I dont know anyone else who has 3 boys, age so close apart AND working, AND still can do all that alone... including part part planning to do the house etc.....
i nak jaga diri sendiri pun terkial kial........
