Today, I will talk about the things that happened today.

1- At work, I notice I prefer my male bosses than the female bosses. The female bosses tend to belittle me, while the male bosses are friendlier. One of my bosses, even though I no longer work directly under him, always asks about my well-being.

For example, when I attended a course a few weeks ago, my boss was one of the speakers. When he saw me, he diverted the audiences' attention toward me, using me as an example. Malu lah I, mentang-mentang I tengah pregnant kan...
Then, this morning, he saw me again and was surprised that I was still working. "Bila anak buah saya nak keluar ni?"

Baik kan bos I...I really respect him, because he's always humble and pious.

2- Conversation in the car on the way home from work

Husband: Tadi salesman tu call Abang. Dia Tanya, bila nak beli kereta. Abang kata, nak fikir lagi...
Me: Eh, you ni, janganlah bagi dia harapan palsu! Cakap je lah kita tak jadi nak beli!
Husband: Mana tau Abang nak tukar fikiran ke...
Me: :0 (La, ingatkan we've passed this already. Ikut suka Abanglah, sayang...)

Husband was telling a story about his friend, anak orang kaya.

Husband: Memang kaya bapa dia dulu. Buat kerja bagus. Nasib baik mati awal.
Me: Kenapa nasib baik mati awal pulak?
Husband: Sebab kalau mati lambat, habis semua harta dia simpan! Dia boleh jadi lagi kaya! Kesianlah dekat orang lain...!

Husband: Bapa dia dulu pandai buat business. Cakap pandai...Tapi anak dia tu harapkan harta bapa je...Tak macam bapa dia langsung. Slow sikit.
Me: Dia ikut mak dia kot...Sebab tu orang suruh pilih elok-elok kalau nak kahwin. Nanti anak dapat genetic tak bagus, Hahahaha...!
Husband: Macam Abang pandai pilih isterilah...Bertuah anak Abang dapat genetic bagus. Hahahaha!

3- We were supposed to host a Solat Hajat for the coming of this little precious one. Unfortunately, my MIL broke a bone and she was on cast. We were waiting for the doctor's orders to remove the plaster cast, but that only happened a few days ago.

The intention was postponed until today.

My husband couldn't wait any longer because all the orang alim would be busy welcoming the month of Ramadhan. So, today, he decided to gather a few of the orang alim and his friends at the mosque for a sembahyang hajat for me and the baby. Buat dekat masjid je, senang...

My own family doesn't have this tradition. So, as I wandered online, I came across adat berlenggang. I was nervous at first, I asked my husband, (this was a few months ago)

Me: Abang, perluke buat Solat Hajat ni?
Husband: Kena lah.
Me: Dia baca doa je kan?
Husband: Kenapa?
Me: I tak payah baring kan?
Husband: Baring buat apa?
Me: I baca dekat Internet, ada adat berlenggang. I tak nak buat lenggang perut!
Husband: Apa benda tu?
Me: Ala...Nanti dia ambil kemenyan, ada asap-asap, pastu nanti dia jampi-jampi perut I. I tak nak yang itu!
Husband: Hish, mana ada buat macam tu! You ingat I ni kampong sangat ke? Orang kampong je lah buat macam tu! Kita baca doa selamat je!
Me: Okay! :D

Husband: Solat hajat ni untuk anak pertama je...
Me: Kenapa pulak? Nanti kesianlah dekat anak-anak I yang lain!
Husband: Memang orang buat untuk anak first je...
Me: Mana boleh! Nanti anak I ingat I tak sayang diorang pulak!

4-
Husband: Yang, belikan I tiket Metallica.
Me: You ni kan...Semua nak pergi, Barcelona datang nak pergi, Metallica datang pun nak pergi jugak...You nak pergi dengan siapa? Masa tu I tengah pantang lah...
Husband: Ala, beli je lah....Dua hari je...
Me: You tu dah tua, tau tak....Dah ada anak....
Husband: Ala...Beli je lah....Masa tu bukan you dekat hospital pun....Beli tiket yang paling murah!
Me: You nak pakai baju apa? (Chuckled as I thought the kind of outfit he might be wearing. Oh, sungguh tak sesuai lah si tua ni!)
