Yuu huu mama... where are you....

Haha... this time it is not others who summoned me but me myself! I guess most of you are bored to summon mamafami because she will pop up just for a short while and went missing for quite sometime. Well, that's me at the moment. I am struck by the 'lazy-to-be-infront-of-the-laptop' virus and also the 'lazy-to-be-in-the-kitchen' virus. I am working 'hard' to recover and I don't really know when I will be fully recovered... but yes... I am trying 'hard'... hahaha....

So what have you been doing nowadays mama?

Besides the housework and being my son's loyal driver... I am into books at the moment. One after another! Blame it on my dear sister and her friend Suryani for dumping me with loads of novels that I can't resist!!! And being me... when I read, I put my heart and soul into my reading. So don't be alarmed if whenever you see mamafami holding a book, she's crying or laughing or showing such anger... because that is how mamafami is.... hahaha.... And poor Mak Chu will always be the chosen victim for me to let out my anger or my happiness. Sharing is caring ya Mak Chu... muahhhh..... hahahhaa.... InsyaAllah if time permits, I will post all the books that I've read in my other blog.

Oki doki... see you when I see you.... take care!
