Ladies Beware!

P/s: This 'house-security' piece is especially dedicated to Manal and all other single or married females who own a house &/@ a car...keep alert!! And always take care of our health too.

Al-Fatihah & condolences.
Rossa’s FIL passed away.
Mar’s sister passed away.

Warded
Check-in: BIL – high blood pressure (17) & kencing manis. Most probably need to has 2,3 of his toes taken off too. Ouch! Pray for him.
Check out: A colleague – I really thot that he went for holidays (as mentioned recently) thus my msg to him sound as “I guess you must be having a whale of a time huh?” Since he already asked us in the office to routinely check for his letters, I msged him yday about the letters only to find out that he was just discharged – after having a kidney-related operation. Why la so secretive? Otherwise we cud have visit him at the hospital…dah la family jauh.

Nope, definitely not the kind that you have in mind. Or like we-know-who lah…recently featured in the news & all.

Am thinking along the line of house&babysitting services for those parents who want to get away for a short break or work related trips by leaving behind their poor children (must be stipulated as above nappy-wearing stage). Last stint, it took the two of us to ‘pakaikan’ the diaper as per instruction. At 5yo (refer the angelic pix below), I know it’s ‘beyond ordinary’ but then he has bit of jantung berlubang you see so he got the leeway & being extra pampered (more like spoil rotten) by all. I guess the whole neighbourhood heard his roaring cry since all effort to cajole him into peeing & brushing his teeth (sakit gigi & jantung berlubang don’t go hand in hand) before going to bed, failed miserably. Boleh buat lawak lagi tu; the sister asked him (I was too busy holding on to his upper body), “Angkat bontot tu!” Sambil menangis meraung, he sobbed, “Apa usik montot2 ni..” He’s shy too..hehehe. But I digress..

For single females staying alone in a big house at night. Mind you, they are not scared of being haunted by ghosts and the likes. Only by mere mortals.

Oh, I can provide company for dinner (doesn’t matter whether you cook or buy dinner, I can only offer to clean the dishes afterward), shopping (take care of the shopping cart (big deal!), advice on what’s good & not to eat), heart-to-heart/relationship talk (like should this young person continue breaking up with a guy from a 3yo relationship to immediately start another with a senior guy who’s more outspoken & lavish in giving out his attention?), and all sort of ‘household & practical advices’.

As a trained ex-pesilat (red-belt ada simpan dlm almari ye!) & having dabble in aikido, my mere presence is sufficient to drive/scare away intruders. Uh, aren’t you scared of me now? Hehehe..

Can take care of the pets too. Provide nurturing (and vice versa). Except matters related to their waste-disposal.

The only thing to consider now is how much should I charge per service? Hourly rates? By demand? Bidding?

Now, the big question is why & WHY? It seems that the world is no longer a safe place….

Case #1.
There’re countless other singles who stay alone. But not when both of your parents recently died, somehow suspected foul play. Yes, memang dah ajal @ sampai masanya kata orang tapi my fren has strong reasons to believe (& ralat di hati) that whatever that befallen her mother was originally intended for her. Ini bukan nak percaya benda karut tapi so typical of Malay mentality lah, orang tak suka boleh pulak nak paksa2 & main tanam benda di keliling rumah.
Helo guys, did you ever wonder – maybe sikap kepoyoan you yg menyebab perempuan lari?
Wanted: Bunga Serai for perubatan traditional (Help!), ikan puyu – elakkan pukau
Moral: Mohon bantuan Allah untuk melawan ilmu sihir mereka yang dah jatuh syirik. Amalan2 zikir tertentu sebagai tambahan.

Case #2.
Married but leading separate life, such is the demand of modern-day living. Non-Muslim.

First tried to break in on Tuesday last week, around 10am. Armed with simple tools like screwdriver. Lucky, the housewife next door noticed that something was amiss. Thus she immediately woke up another neighbour (working night shift). Both (Muslims) confront (utter stupidity or cleverness here?) the intruder who scowled back to them while brandishing the socalled ‘weapon’, “Jangan dekat….Pergi-pergi…Pedulikan…” before jumping out of the gate & ran away. Indo Muslim.
So, I was roped in for standing guard, on 2 consecutive nights. On the third day, “Ah, takkan dia berani datang lagi…”
He broke in on Friday morning. Took all of her jewellery. Enter at the same spot. Grilled-window.

Actions: After 1st trial, reported to the police (for what?) only to be told, “Oh, pihak kami akan mempertingkatkan rondaan.” Well, the neighbourhood already paid for their security guards at the entrances & doing rounds at night. Report again. *sigh*

Consider alarm system. It takes time to install one. A week at the earliest (the burglar is more in earnest than the business people). Consider short-run measures like… I dunno. Malays have this doa pelindung/pendinding/pagar rumah?
Moral: Gals’ stuffs aka precious jewellery are not safe at home. Forget about wearing them (peragut everywhere). Buy Zhulian instead of Habib (samples shown in previous entry).

Case #3.
Married like above but separated by a shorter domestical distance instead of a continent away. Her car was stolen last night. She's staying in H*ntian K*jang - shop apartments. People coming & going at all times. Similar to my place. *Gulp!*

Action: Another police report. I said, pray hard that the ‘kind-hearted soul’ will return the ‘borrowed’ car …Patah kaki la woii!
Moral: Taktau dah nak cakap apa….
