I never bought Abiy anything, without he knowing it, since our financial management system makes me almost impossible to get something for Abiy secretly. Even, on his birthday pun I couldn’t give him any surprise.
2 days ago, Abiy told me that he teringin to have an iPod Touch. I thought he was just ‘cakap aje’. But when I went to his PC and saw several reviews about iPod Touch, I knew that he was serious .
So, this morning, after buying ikan and sayur from the town market, we drop by Bintang. Initially to watch bowling game for the company sport carnival. Then I wanted to bring Hafiy to Toy’R’Us, and the Apple shop (Optiprimus) is just 2 doors away.
So I said to Abiy “Taknak tengok iPod Touch?”
Abiy said “Takpelah, berangan je”
I told him to ‘tengok-tengok aje…’.
But finally… 
I bought Abiy an iPod Touch! And he never expects about it. Cos I am now not getting any money from my salary (So he doesn’t see anything in my bank account.. Syhhhh~).
It’s a gift for supporting me along the way of doing business just right in front of my PC. Taraaa…!
Alhamdulillah, even if I am not leaving my house nor going to office, I still can generate something. It’s not an easy money, need lots of hardwork, but it makes me so happy cos I don’t have to go out of my house and leave the kids 😀 And this defy some of husbands’ perception that staying at home is merugikan.
I think now I can claim myself as WAHM instead of SAHM. 😀
I am very happy now, one thing is I got several cheques, then I could buy Abiy something I never imagined. It’s not something cheap for my class. I was thinking about buying him iPhone instead, but iPod is enough kot, afterall he was dreaming up an iPod. And I was right when I asked him (after getting the iPod) “Kalau bagi Abang iPhone, cemana?”, he said “Taknaklah, handphone dah ada. Lagipun cepat habis bateri nanti”. But I’m still thinking of an iPhone for him, meaning, more and more hardwork!
From the Mommy Finance’s survey result (don’t worry I don’t know whom did the survey), I see many of us having problem with tight budget. Have you ever heard about rat-race? Keep on running in the same circle, either you win or not, you’re still a rat.
I just proved to myself that everybody could get out of the rat-race, provided with knowledge, persistent and effort. This is what I’m trying to do in Mommy Cash…
