Highs & lows

High - heh, i finally got myself a new laptop :) nothing fancy, just something of my own to do with any which way i wanna lol. probably a little bigger than i'd hoped for but then i wasnt about to part with anymore of our RMs than was necessary.

Low - its a nightmare to have your fridge breaking down on you in ramadhan, but thats exactly what happened to me. we've been 'fridge'less since sunday but thank god i also have a small freezer where i keep my weekly meat/chicken/fish supply so its not too bad..... but still :(

We had mr. tung (our regular maintenance man) look it over and as i had suspected (from the weird sounds that was emitted from the bowels of my fridge lol), its the compressor. says replacing it was going to cost us around RM 600. well, my problems would have been solved right then and there if the hubby hadnt come up with the idea of buying a new one instead. he's rationale is, if we were to spend that much money on an old fridge which was liable to break down again anyway, we might as well invest in a brand new one instead.

Adeh... and i've been given the task to look around and report my findings & recommendation to the 'boss' (and he can get pretty fussy when he wants to, that one). problem is i'm finding it tough enough juggling between work, kids, breaking of fast, the nite solats.... let alone go window shopping. but he has adroitly passed the ball back into my court and its now up to me to settle it, be it sooner or later. double adeh.

So up till this moment, i'm still w/out a working fridge.... and the old one is starting to stink to high heaven ... and mak's getting more & more annoyed that the problem still remains unresolved ... and the kids are clamouring for their long cool drinks come berbuka ... and the hubby's still waiting for my feedback ... and i feel like tearing my hair out.

Such is the boring, mundane stuff a working wife/mom/daughter goes through.

I know God is testing my rapuh iman this blessed ramadhan and it could have been worse. insyaallah i'm still keeping it all together lol though barely.

:)

Man, i need my run bad...... but who's got the time !!!!
