Cakap Cakap by Si Arnab Gemok

Assalamualaikum I have relocated to Jekarda gaez! Alhamdulillah after 4 months being here, I have finally settled down in my apartment. I still can't believe that I am thousands of miles away from home and tbh, I feel kinda okay (bet it must gotta be because of the fact that I'm on leave from work. You know, no work, no stress). But yeah, so far so good. Though I'm still not used with the local way of doing many things. I'm learning each day and I'm enjoying the process (but it does require A LOT OF PATIENCE). Some days are better than the others so I take one day at a time. However I'm sad about leaving my cats behind. But they seem to be doing okay with my mom (in fact wayyy better than just okay. They seem happy whenever I video called my mom and my mom would show them jumping and running around without any care. THE AUDACITY! I cry for them on daily basis ok). A cat I made friend with during a house viewing. Super friendly I almost brought him home but the o...

Assalamualaikum Currently diffusing YL: Pine and Eucalyptus Radiata I wrote this entry title months ago. I didn't manage to find time to even start the entry so I have no idea what I was about to write back then. But somehow, months later, in fact even the year has changed (Happy 2021 by the way. Nothing new. Covid-19 is still around more than ever), this title is still suitable with my current mood & situation. Alhamdulillah I finally got my long awaited break from work. And no, not because of the working from home thingy due to Covid-19. That is a whole other story. Long story short, WFH is not fun at all. So the deal is I am now officially 6 days into my unpaid leave! Yippee yeay! Ok I know, this is not my first time taking unpaid leave from work. In fact this is my third time already (I think). I have taken so many unpaid leave in the past (due to my many health issues. My fam & close friends know why) that taking it now seems trivial. Only that this time I am taking it...

Assalamualaikum As promised, I'm gonna share my laparoscopy experience in this post. To those who haven't read the first part, do check it out here: 61st: I Got Two Holes On My Belly (Part 1)   . First thing first, let me do some disclaimer. This is a personal experience of mine and it is not gonna be the same for everyone.  But I really hope that what I'm about to share can give extra courage to those who are going to undergo the same procedure. As I have mentioned before,  Dr Hamid Arshat  advised me to undergo a laparoscopy procedure in order to get thorough view sebab masa initial scanning tak nampak any cyst or fibroid inside my uterus. But based on my monthly period pain, Dr Hamid said there must be some reasons as to why it happens so frequently. It didn't take much (actually it didn't take anything at all except for Dr Hamid's words) to convince me to go under the knife (but laparoscopy procedure takde belah-belah pun so yeay...

Assalamualaikum People who are close to me mostly know that I have a serious period pain problem. I've been living with this monthly issue for years, as far as I remember my period pain started when I was around 15 or 16. Orang kata alah bisa, tegal biasa. Well, guess what, NOT for period pain (those who know, MUST know what I mean). It ain't easy living with this condition. Back then, I had to skip school or call my parents to pick me up at school because of the unbearable pain. And when I entered university, the pain still hasn't go away. Numerous lectures I was absent from and some lecturers did give me a hard time and even made jokes about it (come to think about it, those jokes were quite sexist. Curse you, Baby Boomers, who aren't woke enough to learn sensitivity!). But the worst, is now. Two words = Working life. You know how your job just won't give you a chance to take a break even when you feel like you're dying? And your boss and col...

Assalamualaikum Have you guys ever fall in love with this one baju of yours that you guys could wear them EVERY SINGLE DAY without feeling bored and each time you put it on, you feel empowered and super confident? Well, I have. In fact, numerous times since I learned the language of style. Gitchew~ My obsession started with one of my dresses when I was around 3 to 4 years old. I still remember the exact design of the dress. White and red in color. The dress is adorned with 3 dimensional tomatoes (the tomatoes literally hang from the front part of the dress). I tell you, it's really cute. I mean that's why my mom bought it for me right. But I fell too deeply in love with it that I wanted to wear the dress, like I said earlier, EVERY. SINGLE. DARN. DAY. Behold the collection of my childhood photos. See that magnificent tomatoes dress? Yup, that's the one guys! I even smiled proudly some more while wearing it. My parents saw the seriousness of the ...

Assalamualaikum Oh hey, guess what? This is my third post this year. Wow, I'm on fire guys!! I have been thinking since I wrote my last post as to why lately I seem to be losing touch to blog. I mean, I just don't get what is wrong with me? I still love writing and membebel-ing. But I feel that my writing skill has declined a.k.a. mereput a.k.a. sendu big time. So after many sleepless nights of thinking (or more likely Netflix binge-watching), I've come to a conclusion: I am everywhere but here . I mean, my body is here, my fingers are typing but my mind keeps going wild you know. Sometimes while I'm writing, I keep thinking " Ada lagi ke orang baca blog nowadays?" or "Who will read this?" or "Will people think I'm lame for still blogging about my personal life?" coz you know now blog is all about being a marketing tool to sell oneself, therefore this blog is totally out of question coz we all know how minimal I blog and...
