Whats up Doc?

Initially, I wanted to show some of our photos taken on our outing to KT and KB last weekend. However, there was an error in loading and my PA had to go to bed.It was already past midnight and she has to get up early for school tomorrow.

The weather in Kuantan has been really hot recently. After taking a shower for my maghrib prayers, Dato' Sak entered the bathroom for his turn. "Why is the bathroom hot? Is the heater on?" He walked towards the shower head and held it in his hand..refusing to believe me when I said the heater has been spoilt for a month! hahaha
I told him its probably my body heat clouding the air in the bathroom like when you pour cold water over a hot kuali you know?

I had a scary thought too. When my late mum passed away, the ladies who bathed her remains told my sister not to be so sorrowful. They said she is InsyaALLAH alright. During the 'bathing' the water that flowed below her was Alhamdullillah very cooling. For.. there were instances where the water that flowed were hot and you can probably deduce why..
And I know I am miles and miles behind my late mum's intensity in performing the religious department.

O yes yes..I wanted to share Dato's brief stopover this afternoon where the dewan sitting was currently in progress. He wanted to see the MB for a short chat during breaktime. And what did he have to say?
"Dato' Nan was extremely kind and friendly to me. I am so happy Da.He was very chatty and I felt so good inside. Many of the Aduns came to salam with me. They did not look down on me. One of the Excos even mentioned that the Dewan sitting is now 'quiet' without me. I just smiled."

Yes Dato' was always the noisy bubbly presenter during his one term as Adun. But he is looking forward to his new post as the special economics officer to the Pahang MB. Though officially he has not started this post, the letters that always arrive at our home, address him in this manner.

I am so glad Dato' Seri MB is always nice to us. Some may say he is unfriendly and fierce. Thankfully he has always been a good friend to us.Though we meet him once in a while, he never ceases to smile warmly at us.
Thank you Dato' Seri for always being kind to us. Thank you. May ALLAH Bless you and your family with lots of good health and happiness always.

Datin Mamasita,
"Jauhari jua yang mengenali maanikam". I think that is the most apt phrase in Malay to describe that relationship between the MB and the both of you. Unfortunately the system is such that the best may not the person elected.
I am so happy to know that Dato' will be taking up the position soon and with his expert advice, less mistakes involving the Rakyat's money will be made.
I am working on the post about your visit to KB and InsyaAllah it will be posted by this evening. Been under the weather lately with my diastolic reading hovering above 115.

Salam P.Z.
You have HBP? Yet you're so active with many outside activities like pitching in Tomoi programs and dashing all over the place doing interviews etc. I kena hari tu terbaring je.Housework pun takboleh buat.Nakgi aerobics pun takut dizzy..must lawan lah lepasni.
Thank you for breaking the ice.I was worried my rambling this time was not so interesting and takde orang nak leave comment.hahaha
Nobody likes to be reminded of certain things if you know what I mean so I thought rosaklah kali ni..0 comment..Thank God you came in! Phewh!!
I thank you so much for that beautiful kind proverb.What a great feeling.
So you take care ye? And looking forward to your latest posting.YEY!!

Bermula satu episod baru..

mamasita said...

Salam kluangman.
Welcome to my blog. Semoga episod baru menambahkan lagi kejayaan Dato' dalam membantu Dato Seri MB Pahang, YAB PM dan UMNO.
Thank you so much for dropping by ye.

Zendra said...

Hi mamasita, looking forward to view your pics. It's always nice to be able to put current faces to blog-names. Saya belum berani lagi. And congrats to Dato' for the new appointment. What Pak Zawi said is so true.

Hello Datin Mamasita,

I have the greatest respect for you and your dear hubby for the way you have both accepted and adjusted to the change of role most gallantly and elegantly.

Truly, Malaysia needs more people like you both.

Like all the others who know you, I am blessed to call you friend :-).

Take care!

All the best to you and your wonderful family always,
Paula

Dear Mamasita,
Mana boleh tak comment sini, mesti kena comment punya!

I agree with Pak Zawi, it doesn't matter what had happened, good people will still be noticeable.

Congratulations Dato' on the new post!

Salam Datin,

Way to go for U both and Gud Luck. Insyallah.....

U got me all excited there for a moment, macam Mills & Boon punya suspense building…hahaha…(Hey, why I cannot read M&B kah? Only me getting in touch with my feminine side, occasionally mah, u know 'SNAG').

All the best to Sak & you on another great chapter in your life.

Cheers,
Tommy,

P/S – errrr…should I or shouldn’t I? Anyway High-Five to Dato’Seri…hehe..now u know y I get into trouble so often.

Dear Datin,

Congratulations to Dato' Sak! Humility, sincerity and dedication to one's duty will always be ultimately rewarded. Dato' Sak and you will always be able to hold your heads up high.

Datin Mama,
Wow!
A change in appearance!
Congratulations!
Almost didnt recognize you if not for the cheerful smile as always.

Cantik :)

Dear Mamasita,

Wanted to leave a trail earlier, but tak sempat nak baca habis, so this morning revisit.

Congratulations on Dato's new posting. Couldn't agree more with what Pak Zawi had said - hanya jauhari jua yang mengenali maanikam. Let's try to put our country back on the global map and not just on GPS saja :)

Haiyyaa...adengan dalam bathroom tu stopped at THAT??? So much steam and yet...??? Hehh..hehh...

mamasita said...

Good morning Zendra.
Thank you so much..seronok you cakap macamtu.Alhamdullillah.
Memang honestly, mula2 afraid jugak letak photos for fear of safety etc.
Tapi when I thought friends and bloggers hardly meet up, then I pikir tawakkal and doa je lah.
When strangers we like dapat kenal us through photos, we suddenly have that closer bonding walaupun belum berjumpa.And its great to recognise each other! Takper..take your time.Show us some of your photos if/when ever you are ready k?

mamasita said...

Morning dear Paula.
I am presently in KL with Dato and so I have managed to get the laptop without the housework thing on my mind today! Yahoo!Only thing I have to berebut using the internet with him.hehe
Awwh..thanks Paula for your always very supportive and inspiring praises and very kind words.
And may you and your dear family be showered and blessed with loads of great health and continued wealth and happiness always.
Its GREAT to be your friend too!THANK YOU masterwordsmith!

mamasita said...

Hello DDI.

Patricia said...

Hi Mamasita,

It's good to hear that you're all doing fine. And congrats to Dato' on his new post. I follow his blog, and learn so much from him about how things are here.

Are you enjoying your stay in KL? Hope you are :)

Ida Hariati Hashim said...

Dear Datin Mama,

Wah,..hebatlah Dato' Sak. But lagi hebat the lady who has been the backbone of his successful life.

You know, I happened to know a fellow blogger, who is the Pol. Sec. to the MB. I have linked his blog (Small Talk) to mine. Perchance you know each other? Kami sama-sama orang Rawa.

mamasita said...

Hai Pat.
Thank you so much for the congrats to Dato.Only thing he still has not started the job yet.So its a verbal appointment for now..hehe
Yes yes..we always enjoy gallavanting in KL and gobbling and munching too!
My best wishes to you and your family always..thanks so much.

mamasita said...

Hai Ida.
Dato Sam of Smalltalk is a close friend of Dato Sak.I kenal Dato Sam sikit2 je.My daughter pulak baik jugak dengan anak Dato Sam.
Backbone? Me?? Naah..you are so sweet my dearest.You tak tahu this 'backbone' always give him problems! hahaha
Thanks for congratulating Dato.Taklah hebat mana sangat Dato tu.Economics officer bukan economics adviser tau?? Tu lain..ni kecik2 je.Tapi Alhamdullillah syukur.
Thanks dearie and hope your darling hubby dah kurang frowning ye? hahaha

tireless mom said...

Dear Mamasita

Congratulations to Dato' Sak. Behind every successful man there is the successful wife/woman. So congrats to you too Datin.

zorro said...

Mama, thanks for breaking the good news about DS new role. I often realised that working on the periphery is more effective than being confined in the inner circle. NO? Hug him for me. We are in the same place in 1 Utama and our paths do not cross? Strange huh?

mamasita said...

Dear TM.
Thank you so very much for congratulating Dato.
I wonder whether I have really contributed much to his success..tumpang makan minum banyaklah! hehe
Thank you for saying so..sedap jugak hati.

mamasita said...

zorro sir??
THANK YOU for dropping by and WELCOME to my blog.
You tahulah me..can never keep secrets! hahaha
We were at 1-Utama around 2 till about 4petang.Then we went off to see my son's girlfriend at Mid-Valley to pass her a packet of beef serunding and a piece of silk batik I got her from Pasar Payang.
I left Dato for quite a while at Delifrance 1-Utama for him to sip some coffee and makan roti plus banana-split ice-cream while he entertained himself with his blogging.I went gallavanting at the ladies section to get myself some Mother's Day makeup offer! hahaha
Nevermind..we'll meet up someday soon.
Sekejap lagi we'll be driving back to Kuantan.Somebody is snoring and catching a nap to recharge himself before the 3 hour drive!hehe

Oldstock said...

Salam mamasita,

Congratulations to Dato Sak on his new appointment. I hope to see Pahang prosper well and not to spend too much on wasteful projects.

Dalam blog Dato Sak aritu I ada terbaca post dia pasal crooked bridge. He mentioned that the idea of building that bridge is personality-dependent. Not that far from what I mentioned in my own post about the same subject.

Err... you already have a strong readership to your blog, and yet you worry about zero comments, hehehe. No need to worry lah :-)

Mat Cendana said...

Sorry Datin - it took me two days to be able to come here. And my head is full of RSS feed titles of various things, plus hundreds of Twitter updates too.

I hope this doesn't come across as being too cynical and suspicious. After reading about Dato' Sak's appointment, and his visit to the state assembly area, I feel I must state this, although Dato' and you must surely know...

BEWARE of the fork-tongued... slow, soft, cool, well-reasoned' they might appear to be. For they might also be... VIPERS - people who whisper malicious untruths and spread poison. I've known quite a few, unfortunately.

mamasita said...

Wa'alaikummussalam'
You know Oldstock..despite an okay readership, I am always nervous people may not enjoy the entry that I put up.Sebab kadang2 I pakai bedal je tulis what comes to the mind! haha
I do want to please others and I'll be lying if I say I write to please myself only.
Thank you for congratulating Dato'.I taktahu when he'll start though sebab surat perlantikan rasmi belum keluar.
Anyway, we bersyukur ada rezki lebih for the family.I hope he can be of excellent service for Pahang.And like you say, help Pahang with selecting non-wasteful projects.
Yeah.I did mention to Dato' that you wrote earlier about the crooked bridge..smart guys share the same wavelength!Ahhemm! hahaha

mamasita said...

Hello MC.
Thank you so much for squeezing in some time to travel to my blog.
And thank you for the advice and reminders!
The way you describe it macam tulis bestseller novel! hahaha
Seriously, we'll heed your valuable advice.
You take care ye? Janganlah terlalu sibuk sampai dan masak maggi je! hehe

Tommy Yew said...

Hi Mamasita,

Dato Sak must have read your remark on his so unromantic & ‘perut buncit’ that he had to write his ‘Under Caption Contest’ post to show u that that are people with MORE BIGGER perut buncit than him, lucky you……..hehehe…

I didn’t know Malaysia got Sumo Wrestler too. Hope that those 2 gentlemen mentioned, don’t read your blog, I wouldn’t fancy them throwing their weights on me!

Cheers,
Tommy

mamasita said...

Hehehehehe
Tommy, you are always so funny.
Eh eh..You taktahu Malaysia ada ramai Sumo wrestler? o o..tu tomoi wrestler..I got my bearings salah..anyway sumo or tomoi whats the difference kan? Wrestling tetap wrestling!
Dato sak memang a little bit sporting..joke lah perut dia buncit or misai sudah putih, he will ketawa and ketawa.
Joke about him taking another wife younger than me? He will twist my arm and say " nak cakap lagi tak?" hahaha
Thanks Tommy for dropping by.Email me and maybe Dato and I can have some coffee and roti-bakar with you somewhere in KL.

SOHO Mama said...

Hi Mamasita...
(I was busy with some work so baru ni lah nak baca blog hopping sikit2).

Congratulations to Dato' on his new post! Alhamdulillah. Mamasita the forever most loyal supporter of Dato' :)

Really admire u!

mamasita said...

Soho Mama.
Thank you so so much for the congrats wishes to Dato'.
Mana lah loyal supporter? I am his fiercest critic even though I always try to defend him when possible.
And thats why I am not the 'backbone' a wife should be..I cakap frankly! Takde nak beat about the bush! Terus balun! hahaha

So toksah admire2 sangat! Fail!! hehehe

Lyana Mauseth said...

hai datin mama...hehe lama i tak bertandang rumah u ni...from now on, insyallah i akan kerap dtg sini..kalau u tak larat layan i, u ckp je syuh syuh..ala2 halau ayam tu haha :D

mamasita said...

Ahh..so glad to know you dah happily settle down in your new home?
Boat tu dah tiba? You all parking boat tu kat mana?
Nanti we makcik bloggers boleh cruising atas boat you kan? Jangan boat you tak larat bawak we all sudah! Masing2 kena timbang sebelum naik on your boat kan? hahaha
