Smiles, crawls, tears and falls ... my little milestones ...

Final Concert ....:)

2010-11-09T12:09:00.004+08:00

So much to tell ...don't know where to start ...

so.... we shall start by posting pictures first ..:)

Seats were reserved for Mommy, Dadi and Tok

because .............

I was one of the emcees!!!! The concert was held at MAS Academy.

More updates later ...Mommy is supposed to pick me up ..NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cucumber juice anyone?? ....

2010-11-09T11:30:00.006+08:00

Aunty Elisa introduced this drink to us when we visited her in Medan ..It was really really hot outside ... and this drink was very cool and refreshing ... Who would have thought that I would actually DRINK CUCUMBER!!!!

It is made by adding fine strips of cucumber and the juice of the remaining cucumber into a glass. Sometimes Mommy adds cold water and ice to fill the glass.

The secret to the most refreshing taste is this .....

which Aunty Elisa brings every time she comes to KL .... I just wish it was sold in Malaysia so we don't have to trouble her ...... Anybody know where we can find melon/honey dew syrup anywhere? Mommy tried making using fresh honeydew .... nice but not quite there ..:)

Tok's five grandchildren ....

2010-05-28T17:17:00.003+08:00

Kakak Iman, Aaqil, Haykal, Nia and me .... on a Friday evening at Mendut ...

I will turn 6 in a few weeks time and next year I will join the ranks of Kakak Iman and Haykal in primary school and I can't wait.

I love school .. I love my teachers ..I love my friends ... and of course ... I love my homework ...

I get very excited when Mrs Goh gives me many many pages of homework and get quite upset when she doesn't. I usually finish my homework within the first hour of reaching home or wherever Dadi decides to park us ...:)

Every Tuesday, I go to Piano class at Pianissimmo at Sunway Damansara. My teacher's name is Ms Ariel. She is a very sweet and cute lady. I sometimes find the pieces quite difficult to play but Mami helps me out. I also love doing my piano theory work ...

Dubai

2010-01-18T08:47:00.009+08:00

Dubai was a short two day trip en route to Doha. We left KLIA on the 24th October at about 8.30pm, after a one hour flight delay. We flew Emirates.

Adik didn't fare very well on this flight because he had a bad cold that didn't go away. Poor thing, he suffered throughtout the whole journey. Dadi had to carry him almost throughout the whole flight. Luckily the crew were very friendly and accommodating. During the flight, they actually laid out a blanket for Adik to play in the galley. Adik was not comfortable in the cramped seats eventhough he had a seat all for himself. The takeoff and landing was the worst for Adik due to the cabin air pressure. BTW, the flights were extremely cheap ...RM1060 for a return flight to Doha as opposed to Rm3000+.

After almost 7 hours of flying, we finally landed at Dubai Airport. The bus transfer from the aircraft to the passenger terminal took a good 10 minutes or so. Uncle Hazem, Tok Dadak's friend waited for us at the airport. It was very nice of him to do so. We stayed at the Ibis Hotel, Dubai.

As we had only one and a half days to see Dubai, Dadi decided to hire a cab for 2 hours to drive us around. We visited the must sees ...

The then Burj Dubai which is now known as Burj Khalifah

Burj Al Arab

My parents did not do any shopping here because there was Doha to come. They were also trying to reduce the amount of baggage they were lugging around.

Uncle Redza and Auntie Kolin showed us the old Dubai by night after taking us out for a fantastic dinner.

Aaqil Aariz is one .....

2010-01-18T07:19:00.004+08:00

Happy Birthday my dearest brother

You make me laugh
You make me cry (when you pull my hair)
You make me happy
You make me angry (when Mommy attends to you and says "Wait Miya")

I love it when you smile
I love it when you laugh
I love it when you make your muka busuk
I love it when you play with me ..

I love you, Ahmad Aaqil Aariz ...

5 pictures tells a bit more than 50 words ;P

2009-08-28T05:41:00.008+08:00

Sometime last April, Mommy and Dadi brought Adik and I to Penang. We stayed at Changkat for one night and left for the Island for another two. The trip was to coincide with Tok Dadak's working trip to Penang. Tok Dadak came with her boss, Dr Richard and her assistant, Uncle Drew.

Daddy's favourite shot, the silhoutte, with Kakak Farah Ayna and Abg Fuan.

Mommy was always in the room, looking after Adik who was always sleeping throughout the day. Daddy was the fun guy and fun we had. You should have seen the look on Mommy's face when I told her about my adventure with Dadi!!!!

"Believe it or not, I'm walking on air .......... I never thought I could feel so freeeeeee .... "

5 years and moving on ....

2009-07-03T06:14:00.002+08:00

This is so easy ...:P

Updates from me will be up really soon (:P NOT!!!) .. in the mean time, tq Achoo for updating ...

4 years and 8 months on ......

2009-04-04T18:00:00.003+08:00

This photo was taken with my cousin, Ayong and Aaqil at Achoo's house

It has been quite sometime since I last updated on my skills and such ..there are so many things that I have done and skills that I have acquired that I don't know where to start ...

So let's do it systematically ... my way ...

Social

I am now less shy ..but still shy especially around people I don't know. Having said that, it takes time for me to warm up to people even those who are familiar to me.

I now take part in party games ... sometimes, I cry if I lose .. or if I don't get a prize.

At times, I am brave enough to sing in front of a crowd but don't expect me to do it always.

I am still very possessive of my friends ... I always try to stand next to the birthday girl whilst cake cutting (giving my parents a major headache) ..and I expect my friends to include me in their activities .. (lagi pening!!!) ..

I love role-playing .. I am sometimes ....Cik Kedai, Cik MC D, Cik Security, Cik Tesco, Cik Hotel, Cik Dutamas ....

I am not so much of a TV addict ... but i am into Adi dan Ayah, Gang Bas Sekolah, Tom Tom Bak, Kapten Boleh of Channel 611 and most of 613. I will watch the shows repeatedly on ends.

Language

I am very fluent in Bahasa Malaysia and my English is improving ... I learnt Mandarin in Nursery but now no longer. Mom says she wants to enrol me into the Mandarin class coz I seem to miss it ... we shall see.

I love writing. I can spell my name. I can spell my Mom's name. I can spell simple words like one, two, six, boy, cat, fat, rat, mat, sat .....you get the drift???? Mom is reading the Sunshine series with me ..

I recognize more words than I can spell .. I recognize the spelling of most colours such as white, purple, orange, red, blue, black, green, pink etc, most numbers, animals such as hippopotamus, dog, elephant etc .... words such as little, big, small, school, weather, storm ...etc ....

Cognitive

I know my numbers well .. I count by rote ...

I memorize 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 8+8=16, 16+16=32, 32+32=64, 64+64=128 in English ..

I know my colours, sizes and shapes

Physical

Gross Motor Skills

I love riding my bike albeit the two support wheels. I am also quite good on the scooter. I love to ride with Dadi. Mommy doesn't know how to ride a bike ..or anything that moves, for that matter!!! I have yet to master the roller skates Penji gave me for my birthday. I love climbing the door grille whenever Mommy's not looking (not so much now, tho')

Fine Motor Skills

I love writing, colouring, painting, simple paper folding (not origami level yet) ....

I love playing the piano .. Mommy has not sent me for formal lessons yet ..but I try on my own. Mommy sometimes helps me out. I surprised Mommy by playing by ear ... I try and try and try .. and I will finally get the tune right (to my standards). One hand tho'.

Living skills

Hygiene

I bathe every hour of the day ...nah ..not so bad ... I bathe every time I sweat ..or when my attire gets dirtied.

I brush my teeth every morning and night as taught by the nursewho visits our school.

I sometimes ??? (always) forget to put my things/toys where they belong ... and always get scolded by Mommy.

I love my brother but he sometimes annoys me when I want something from Mommy and Mommy asks me to wait coz she needs to attend to him first ....

More coming ..Aaqil dah bangun ...

Farah Ayna's 8th birthday ...

2009-03-29T13:41:00.006+08:00

I am currently in my hometown in Penang and the internet connection is not stable, therefore I will only upload more pictures when I return home.

a picture tells a thousand words ...literally!!!!!!!!!! ....

Another set of mommy's creations ...

2009-03-18T18:38:00.003+08:00

An update of me and my big lil' bro .....

2009-03-18T15:32:00.004+08:00

Photos first ...write up later .. Baby Aaqil looks so funny here ...

Muscles, deltoids ...the works ..

This photo was taken on Mommy's birthday ... before going to the pead for his 2 month injection (which was postponed coz he had flu). On this day, he weighed in at 7.56kg and measured at 64cm. he's really heavy and my parents are having a tough time carrying him ..especially when he cries at nite. Dadi used to rush to Aaqil at hearing his first cry ... infact all three of us would..but now, Dadi would pretend not to hear or to sleep through his cries until Mommy attends to Aaqil (Mommy would do the same , too :P and waits for Dadi to pick him up). Poor boy!!!

Aaqil sleeps thru the day and wakes thru the nite ...no joke ...from 12am to 6am or sometimes 9 am he will want to play and bersembang or simply fuss about. He will sometimes feed and feed and feed and when he just about falls to sleep, he will pooh ...wake up, cry, get changed, feed again, pooh again ..feed again .... pooh again ..til morning .. then it will be my turn for Mommy's attention. Getting ready to go to school, breakfast and what-nots ..... I wonder when Mommy sleeps???

This is Kakak Iman before going off for her holiday .....

Another month ...another theme ....

2009-03-01T11:59:00.003+08:00

The theme for the month was ....

These themes from school really challenge the creativity of parents .. more so ... mommies. Especially my Mommy ... Sometimes she will get all worked up thinking of what to do ...

This time around, she got hold of my playdough and used 'her' alphabet cutters to print out the letters and glued them on a piece of paper. Next, she drew the animals and made me colour them. No, what you see in the picture above is the works of Dadi and Mommy. Beneath their work of art is MY work of art!!! Then she stuck the drawing to the letterings and then the whole lot to a piece of art foam which she then attached to my cap using rubberbands ...

Picture perfect ....

2009-02-27T19:48:00.003+08:00

No Aunty Ina, this is not from Munawwarrah ... not yet ...

We pray you have a safe delivery ....

Update: Aunty Ina has given birth to baby Zuleikha on 26022009 at 11pm weighing 3,71 ... alhamdulillah and congratulations ..............

Ms Nadia.....

2009-02-23T16:25:00.004+08:00

Ms Nadia was my teacher in Nursery Canary. She is no longer teaching in my school. I miss her and all my ex-classmates. She has moved on to ........my living room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is now one of the presenters of Hot @ 1 or something ...

I did not go to school that day so I managed to watch her ...

Of tinkerbell and more cuppies ....

2009-02-23T10:33:00.002+08:00

When Mommy is in this mode ... she turns into a kind 'ogre' ..

"Mommy, I'm hungry" ... - go and get the biscuits and jam ..
" Mommy ..nak air .." ... - amik sendirilah ..macam slalu ...
" Mommy ........." ... - Miya .. later Miya ...Mommy tgh sibuk ni .... I have to finish this before adik wakes up ...
"Mommy ..adik dah bangun!!" ....- DADDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIII ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kinda like these designs ..... so many designs to choose from for my party in June ..

Mommy is practicing very hard ...

Solat berjemaah .....

2009-01-28T23:22:00.002+08:00

Kakak Farah Ayna and Abg Fuan are here to visit Mommy. I just love it when they are around. Mommy and Dadi loves having them around, too coz I don't depend on them for company.

Aunty Ryda bought me a telekung when she went to Padang recently ... a bit big .. so I swapped with Ayna. Abg Fuan became the pak imam.

Tengah sujud. The telekung worn by Kak ayna was given by Aunty Ryda

This morning, Mommy woke me up for Solat Subuh. Unfortunately, our Pak Imam could not wake up coz apparently he just fell asleep so I prayed with Tok Ngah .... hmmmm ... so when Abg Fuan and kak Ayna mengqadha solat Subuh after we performed our Zuhur prayers ... Tok Ngah said I could follow them to qadha the Subuh prayers that i had missed in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!

More swimming .....

2009-01-25T16:11:00.002+08:00

Mommy and Dadi have not taken me to swimming classes yet. They told me that by the year 2009, I would be able to swim on my own ..without my armfloats ..That has yet to happen ...I can't wait ... This was Mommy's last dip in the pool before she gave birth.

Abg Fuan, Farahayna, Iman and I having a splashing time in the pool at Achoo's ....

The big sister in me!!!!!

2009-01-25T14:26:00.000+08:00

I simply love being a big sister. So many people have been telling mommy that I have a difficult time adjusting to a newcomer in the family. So far, that has yet to be proven true. My problem, or maybe it is more of Mommy's problem is that I love him so much and will try to hug and smother him with kisses at every opportunity.... sleeping or not .....

The situation is made a bit more difficult because bb Aaqil is slighly jaundiced and he has to undergo phototherapy at home....but I want to play with him ...sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommy and Daddy only managed to cover his eyes with the Zorro mask only once. The failed miserably in their future attempts. So the rental company, who already knew that this problem would exist, came up with a neat solution ....

Introducing my big lil' bro ... :D

2009-01-16T22:26:00.000+08:00

Introducing Ahmad Aaqil Aariz ... weighing a healthy 4.35kg...to the world ... Mommy will update later once we are discharged ... the whole family is 'berkampunging' at PMC ... :)

..and more of Mommy's creations ......

2009-01-12T13:08:00.000+08:00

I had a hand in preparing the cuppies, too. I helped Mommy control the cake mixer..Mommy's precious kenwood major..:P ... and licking the bowl clean after the batter was put into the casings. Yummy .....

This order was done for aunty Siti and friends ......

I am now in K1 Puffin

2009-01-10T00:10:00.000+08:00

Just to put on record ... I am now in K1 Puffin ... up high on the 3rd floor .. Mommy and Dadi sent me on the first day of school which was on the 5/1/2009. I have a new teacher. Her name is Ms Ladyana. She seems nice. Ms Nadia was more of a bubbly character.... hmmmm ... we shall see ...

My old classmates who joined me from Nursery canary were Andrew and Caitlin. Alyssa is no longer with P&J, neither is Hyun Moo. I heard he has gone back to Korea. Rania and a few others are still in Nursery. Kyle and Kaelyn are in another class. Oh well ... I still get to see them anyway.

On the 2nd day, it was only Dadi who sent me up. Mommy was too tired to walk up 3 flights of stairs and it has been like that, ever since.

Dadi picks me up from school ..until further notice. Next week ...?????? ...actually I am not too sure what wil happen when baby Aaqil arrives .... again ...we shall see .....................

My cuzzins ... Kakak Sue and Abg Ezmeer

More of Mommy's culinary adventures ...

2009-01-08T21:53:00.000+08:00

This is a tumpang post by Mommy .... at least when I grow up ... I know Mommy had attempted to do these ..quite nice, they are .....

This was done by Mommy, Aunty Ty and Aunty Annie for Aunty Shaz's and Uncle Jeff's wedding last month ... all 300 pcs ... I had a hand in it, too with kakak Su ..cheap labour ...

This cake was baked for Tok Dadak .. Chocolate Moist Steamed Cake with Choc Fudge topping ..yummehhh ... and it was gone within 5 minutes ... The sugarpaste flowers were done by Mommy.

This was Mommy's first cake at ICCA*. Mom dedicated the cake for me .. I was Nasha for the week ....

These were the cupcakes that Mommy made during the course. The only inedible part were the clown heads!!!

The clowns sitting nicely in class as opposed to the reclining clowns when they were brought home!!!! Hahahahaha .....

This was the last project done for the day by Mommy and Aunty Ty ... cupcakes for Dutamas' Doa Selamat ... Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream topping with lil' sugarpaste roses (handmade) ....... so exciting!!!!

Beauty and The Beast .... not!!!!!!

2008-11-09T19:44:00.000+08:00

Quite some time ago, Dadi and Mommy brought me, Kakak Iman and Haykal to the theatre to see Beauty and the Beast. Baba and Auntie Annie also went. Before going, Mommy tried to prepare me for the show by asking me to watch the show which she found on you*tube. I don't think I really paid much attention.

I was quite happy to be in the company of my cousins. The theatre was quite empty if not for the big group of special children who were brought to enjoy the theater.
The beginning seemed okay. There was a lot of singing and dancing, which I loved. Then, it began to get a bit too much for me. I could see that Mommy was really into it. When I looked to my left, I could see that Kakak Iman was already on her DSLite and Haykal was concentrating on his PSP. I could also hear Kakak Iman saying to Haykal .."Boringlahhhhh!!!!" ..which was what I was actually feeling. I asked Mommy to pass my DSLite and started playing with it. Mommy asked me to turn down the volume but I refused. Then I got upset and started crying ......I wanted to leave the place.
It didn't help when the ugly Beast appeared. Waaaaaaahhhhh ..He was the scariest thing that I had ever seen. Mommy (as expected) wouldn't budge and Dadi (gladly) brought me out. I was upset, hungry and cold. We headed straight to my favourite restaurant, the only place where I 'hangout' in KLCC .... CPK*.

Kakak Iman and Haykal came later with Mommy, Baba and Aunty Annie. They were hungry and cold, too but were too polite to say so.

So the verdict, Beauty and the Beast .....not for me ...yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Maybe Mommy should bring me to London to see Les Miserab*les..... I may enjoy it .....Nice thot!!!!!)

Hari Raya Open House in Klang

2008-11-09T13:09:00.000+08:00

We went again to the Rumah Anak Yatim in Klang, this time to celebrate Hari Raya with the kakak-kakak and abang-abang.

I was quite unsure of what was going to happen at Rumah Khairiyah (RK). I kept on asking Mommy and Daddy, as we were driving there, what we were actually going to do. I thought it was an open house just llie any other. How wrong I was!!!

The moment we arrived, I knew I was going to have fun.

Uncle Asri's tent ( sponsored) was magnificent. Huge, airy and beautiful. It must have cost him a bomb.

Eventhough we arrived quite early, kakak2 and abang Pucuk Rebung and the occupants of RK we already under the tent. When Mommy brought out the balloons to be blown, the fun began. There was a mad rush for the balloons and balloon pumps ...

Mommy is getting quite good in making the 'flower balloons' now (...ehmmm..) as compared to when she made them for Haykal's birthday. It was worth gawking at that kakak in Mc D's the other day. She had so much fun making them, she insisted on putting 'em everywhere, on the tent legs , on the stage ... and then, before she knew it ..they were gone .... the kids took 'em all. Oh well ................

abang-abang performing nasyid

Uncle Aziph presenting the donation cheque to Bapak (Tn Hj Tulus)

The goodie bag and its contents organized by Auntie Marzia and donated by Mommy's friends

It was a long day but we went back happy and contented, glad that everything went well and everybody had fun ...... I made so many friends. There were two special people on that day that took really good care of me, kakak Damia and kakak Aishah. Mommy had a really tough time keeping track of me. They brought me everywhere ... one minute I was in the surau, the next minute I was in the hostel, then i was behind the tent, playing.

In the car, i asked Mommy if i could come again the next day. She just smiled .......Hrmmmpppphhhh!!!!

A super fun day ......

2008-10-20T03:04:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I was invited to attend Fareehah's, Auntie Siti's niece's, birthday party. It was a Hawaiian themed pool party.
This is auntie Siti in all her glory. She made all the hairbands and garlands on her own. Err .... did Auntie Annie help, too? I'm not sure.

She might have . :D
The birthday crowd ..... Cool eh?
Auntie Siti's creation .... so dainty ..for a first timer .... Mommy says it was excellent!!!!
Mommy's jelly sail boats .....
Mommy's Aloha jellies .......

All ready to go home. Thank you, Auntie Siti, Uncle Fahmi, Uncle Shahrul and Fareehah's Mummy. Happy Birthday, Kakak Aha ....

Tonite .....

2008-10-15T23:42:00.000+08:00

..... I am a big girl. For the first time, I told Mommy to leave the room. I did not need Mommy to sing me lullabies, I did not need her to pat my back, I did not need her to accompany me, I did not need her to cover me with my blankie ..no sirreeeeee .......

Mommy was not sure I meant what I said and she insisted to wait for me until I fell asleep but I told her to go away. Leave me she did. 5 minutes later, I decided to surprise her so I ran downstairs but I made my way up on my own soon after and dozed off to Lalaland ...

Now, where is MY PRINCESS BED, Dadi??????????????????????

Nia Maesha

2008-10-15T13:15:00.000+08:00

Achoo gave birth on the 22 September 2008 to Nia Maesha. Dadi calls her Nia Mak Esah. Tok sometimes call her Nia Kirana ..guess why?? Since Achoo is in confinement, Mommy tries to help out ..either Achoo or Tok. Nia is a cute little baby, about the same size as I was when I was born. 2.9kg. She has a very very very loud voice ..as loud as Achoo's when she was a baby ..

No prizes for guessing the picture below correctly. The picture is meant for the next post but what the heck! Achoo is breastfeeding successfully and she has started her pumping sessions to prepare for her return to work. Mommy told Achoo that she could use the aiskrim Malaysia plastic bags to store the milk. We shall talk about it later in the next post.Yesterday, Mommy thought she would give Achoo a treat and make her nasi ulam. Thanks to Auntie Annie for buying the ulam ..... sponsor kan :)) ?

Nasi ulam, ikan tenggiri in olive oil and ikan talang masak asam

While Mommy is busy taking care of Achoo and herself :P, I, will bug Mommy to no end and attempt to annoy her by asking to go for a swim ..... She will obviously relent but it would take her so long to do so ...

Sometimes Haykal will follow me ...

after swimming, we are usually very very hungry ....

Mommy's favourite satay joint .......

2008-10-13T17:23:00.000+08:00

There is this unassuming satay stall in Keramat which Dadi introduced to Mommy before they got married and Mommy got hooked on it ever since. I used to remember when they brought me there when I was younger ..like everytime they went there (duhhhh!!!!) .. I couldn't appreciate anything that they tried to feed me ..not the rice cubish thing, nor the cucumber ..but now, I absolutely love the chicken satay. I am able to finish one or two or three sticks ..depending on how hungry I am.

So the story goes ..some five or six years later ... Mommy and Dadi went back to one of Tok Wan's (Mommy's Daddy) hometown in Bandar Bahru, Kedah and meet a whole load of relatives that nobody had ever met before. Someone asked Dadi where he stayed and he told them that Opah stays in Keramat and the person said ..."Ohhhhhhh ...dulu Pak something (Njang kut) Ismail dok berniaga satay dekat Keramat. La ni anak menantu dia dok jaga ..." ..Wala wehhhhh ... another relative in the food business .... and to think that my parents eat satay only at that stall !!!!!!
The stall is located next to the Esso petrol station and uncompleted market in Datuk Keramat. The satay is excellent and juicy unlike the dry, tasteless satay of that particular franchise that dominates every R&R. Can say like that, meh?

Achik Zainah is in the foreground ... her daughter is in the pink T-shirt

The Pak Cik in the striped T-shirt is her hubby

This is Mommy and Dadi's standard order

The price .. as most other places ..has increased over the years ..... the taste, size and quality remains ..............

Last week, after visiting Antana who just gave birth at GH to my upteenth cuzzin who weighed a whoppin' 4.2 kg, Mommy made Dadi visit Achik Zainah at Keramat. There was this girl, whom I thot was soooo pretty and I begged Mommy to ask her name and asked if I could take a photograph with her. Her name is Sabrina ... 7 years old. I thot her face looked like Cinta Rasya from the sinetron Cinderella ..hmmmm

Trip to Penaga........

2008-10-12T10:11:00.000+08:00

Mommy and Dadi brought us (Aunty Tok Ngah, Aunty Tok Su, Fuan, Ina and I) to visit some relatives in Penaga. Tok Man and his family takes care of the land belonging to arwah Tok Wan Saad. Right behind his house is a huge and beautiful paddy field. It goes on as far as my eyes could see .. very very far .... It must be very tiring to work on the field.
They also rear chicken .......
.... and goats. We had fun feeding the goats and running after the chicks. It was a good thing that the mommy hen was kept in the cage or else we would have been pecked at and chased after by her for disturbing her babies ......

Before continuing our journey, we got a whole load of fish and crabs that just jumped out from the sea...very very very fresh indeed.
The fish were fried immediately upon reaching home and was made into a masak asam dish which everybody seemed to enjoy except ME!!! ..and this is what happened to the crabs ........

and other accompanying dishes which I had absolutely no desire for ....... As I would always say to Mommy.. which Mommy would relate to others ...'ba wau sin wau qaf' .......

Homework anyone ????

2008-10-12T01:00:00.000+08:00

We had just got back from visiting Dadi's other long lost Uncle in Permatang Buluh when Aunty Tok Su reminded Ina that she had to complete her homework. Ina was soooo soooo tired . Aunty Tok Ngah decided to help Ina but Ina was too tired even to keep her eyes open.

I immediately seized the opportunity and asked Aunty Tok Ngah whether I could complete the work for Ina and she said I could.Yipeeee...!!!

Aunty Tok Ngah taught me what to do ... Easy peasy lemon squeezy ... nothing that I couldn't do ...

A little colour here ..
Ooppppssssss ... erase erase erase .....

One line there ...

DONE ............

..... and Ina could happily submit her homework to her teacher the next morning ..... and the next time she gets to get on stage again to receive her best student award for Year One at SK Jawi ....she better drag me along ..........

Kaypel Song aka Caplesong aka Cap Lesong ....... Dadi's Long Lost Uncle ....

2008-10-07T13:31:00.000+08:00

The adults were having coffee in Tok Ngah Man's house in Penaga and Aunty Tok Su was commenting on the coffee that she was drinking. "Nice coffee! What brand?". Tok Ngah Nah (the wife) said, "Kopi Cap Cawan". Hassan, her son said "Dok aihhhh ..Kopi Cap Lesonglah makkkkk". ""Dok aaaiiiiiiihhhh", said his mom...and the argument went on...and it was left at that.

Next stop, Jarak Tengah, Mommy's relatives. Apparently, Dadi also had some close relatives in Jarak which he has no knowledge of and Mommy being the kaypochi that she is asked Dadi to find out from his only and I emphasize "ONLY" remaining relative on Dadi's Dadi's side that he knows of .. She told Dadi, " Hang pi caghi Man Kopi - you go and find Man Kopi" ...

Dadi asked Uncle Haris Chu On (pronounced as Own) and true enough ..everybody there knew him. Before we even knew the brand of the coffee that Tok Njang Man produced, Uncle Haris asked Mommy to read the URL on the van parked outside the house. Feeling very unsure of herself coz it made very little sense ..she said very softly and slowly ..knowing she was going to get laughed at .. "Kaaayyy pellllll Songgggggg" .. "Hahahahahaha ...", went Uncle Haris and Mommy was really amused when she found out what is really was. Mommy then asked Dadi to read it .....and he said the same thing as Mommy did. Dadi got double laughed at .......

Then a sense of dejavu enveloped Mommy as just a couple of hours ago, the Penaga people were debating whether the coffee that they bought were Cap Cawan or Cap Lesong. Take a look at the packaging ......

Cap Lesong with a picture of a Cawan .....chehhhhhhh .......

Tok Njang Man relating to Dadi how they are related. Tok Njang man is Dadi's father's first cousin. Very very close indeed and I know dadi is very proud of him.

Mommy as usual became very sentimental. When Tok Njang Man's daughter in law asked who we were ... she got all teary-eyed and choked up and couldn't speak and had like 2 seconds to compose herself ... hoping that the person who was looking at her straight in the face would not notice .......Terrible ......

Tok Njang Man told Mommy how he started the business some many many decades ago. When he got married, his wife would not drink anything else except for the coffee she ground on her own. She would first roast the coffee, with margarine and sugar and whatnots and the aroma would travel many many miles. Neighbours and friends would stop by and ask to buy some of the coffee but he used to give it for free. Then he said, in true Penangspeak "Beghapo lamo laghat nak dok bagi saja " .. so they decided to sell and for the last twenty years or so ..they did it on a big scale with APs and all. Mommy thot APs were for cars only ...duhhhh!!!!

Btw .... Dadi also realised that he had got his lineage all wrong ....hahaha ...donno where he got all the names from ..but he stood corrected when they discussed who his father grandfathers grandfather grandfather were ...haihhhhhhh!!!!!

Before going back ..Tok Njang Man told Dadi that if he wanted to know more ..he should go and see Ya Nasi Daging which then would lead Dadi to find Ishak Manik Koran Juai Periuk Belanga .......

Last train home .....

Horrors of all horrors ....

2008-09-30T12:40:00.000+08:00

Two incidents ....

First incident happened a few days ago ...

Me : Mommy ..... you donno I eat whaaaaattttttttt ....

Mommy : What??????

Me : Secrettttttttt .......

Mommy : Open your mouth ..lemme see

Me : Dadi punya WHITE RABBIIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!

Mommy : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Take it out! Spit it out!

She scared the daylights out of me. I wonder why she reacted as such.

Mommy : Miya .... it's 'basi' ... buang Miya ....

I tried to spit it out but the silly thing got stuck between my teeth ..so I tried to dig it out with my fingers and it finally came loose. Of course, I was terribly upset.

Me : Mommy, next time Mommy beli lagi tau ....

Tok said to Dadi that maybe if the Doctors had to operate on Dadi ... they will find a melamine plate or two on Dadi's kidney ...

Mommy then threw away the whole container of White Rabbit ... Dadi's favourite ..... so sad .......

The 'horrorest' incident happened last night ...

We were Raya shopping at Ju*sco with Mak Ngah and my cousins from PD when I felt I had to go and pass urine. Off I went with Mommy.

Mommy brought me to the huge toilet which was specially designed for the handicapped, pregnant mommies, children and babies. I did my thing and then felt that I had to do something 'bigger'. A couple of minutes later, I was done ....

Mommy proceeded to flush the toilet ... and then it happened ....

The water level rised and ......rised .....and ...rised ...and Mommy was like ...."Oh noooooooooo ..." then ... "Run Miya .....runnnnnnnnn ....." the water actually spilled over the toilet seat .. wetting the floor ..and it seemed like it would never stop .....like in a very very very bad dream ...with my earlier 'contents' and all on the floor...... sheeeessssshhhhhh ...

Out side the toilet, the was an uncle in light green who told Mommy ..."Kak, itu toilet sudah rosak!!!!" ...."Thank you ...." and Mommy made me run with her again to find Dadi ... "Cepat Miya ....cepattttttttt" .....

The loooooong trip to Changkat ........

2008-09-21T14:18:00.000+08:00

This trip would usually take Dadi 3 1/2 hours .... 3 hours on a good day ...and 2 1/2 hours if all is exceptionally well ...... This time, Dadi decided to be adventurous so the journey was through Kuala Selangor, don't-know -where, don't-know-where (coz Mommy and I had fallen asleep), Teluk Intan (coz when we woke up, Dadi was fumbling with his GPS thingy, not knowing whether he was supposed to go North or South ..hahahahaha) ... stopped to ask for confirmation of direction at a Toyot*a showroom to get to Bota Kiri.

As we approached Dadi's kampung, Mommy made Dadi stop at a stall selling vegetable and fruits.

While Mommy was busy sorting out what she wanted, Dadi, as usual, asked me to follow him to the huge durian across the road ...

and then back to the stall ..... where an uncle was busy sorting out the pineapples.

I saw a whole load of bananas ...

After, filling the car boot, Dadi continued the journey to Kg Teluk Kepayang.

First stop, Opah Something's (Nabsiah) 'bakery'.

Opah has been making bahulu and kuah bakar for a very long time, all year round. She used to have more people to help her compared to what I saw in my last visit. There were only two people helping her ...maybe the rest had gone home or she really did not have anybody else to help her.

Opah Nabsiah is the one wearing the white serkup.

The faithful mixer mixer which had obviously seen better days

Now this Opah is really cute. She is a customer, who, due to shortage of helpers, had to count her own cookies. In this picture, she was counting, or attempting to count for 1000 kuih bakar. She was going ..in true sing song Bota-speak " Lapan puluh satu ..lapan puluh duweeee ..lapan puluh tigeee ... lapan pulh limeeeee ..eh ...beghape dah??" .."Betullah tu", says her husband ... "Lapan puluh lime ...". Then again ..." Sembilan puluh duweee, sembilan puluh limeeeeee ...ehhhh ..beghape dahhhh????" .....

Before, we continued our journey to Changkat, Mommy (again!!!!:P) ..asked Dadi if he could make a stop at Lumut to get her occasional supply of ikan bilis and the works ....

I was getting slightly impatient as I wanted to reach Penang as soon as possible, before Farah Ayna and Safuan went to bed. I kept on begging and pleading Mommy to hurry up.

Dadi at it again!!!

We finally reached Changkat a good two hours after iftar.......

It wasn't easy .....

2008-09-16T23:46:00.000+08:00

Last Thursday, Dadi picked me up from school but Mommy was no where to be seen. That was a bit strange coz Mommy told me that she did not have to go to The C*urve as she was fasting. Hmmm ...???

Dadi drove straight to office and then I saw her .... I used to visit this place frequently before I started going to school but not anymore, so, I was pleasantly surprised when Mommy told me to sit on 'my' chair ..which was unlike all the other chairs in the place .....

This was what had happened ..

Then, Dadi drove us to Ikano but strangely enough He only parked by the side of the road and I was told to stay in the car with Dadi coz Mommy said she had to run inside very quickly to get something and when she came back, she had this cute hairband for me .... hmmmmm????

Dadi drove to BK DriveThru and bought me my lunch ... I was asked to eat in the car .... hmmmmm??? ..

Dadi drove back to office and Mommy made me change to my favourite PPG dress ... and she put on my hairband and powdered my face ...(the whole works actually ... foundation, powder, blusher, gloss and all ...)

I kept on asking her what was actually happening and she said "Auntie Shasha is coming to see you." Who is this Auntie Shasha?", I wondered.

Soon after, Auntie Shasha came with Auntie Nisa ..and this was what happened ...

It wasn't so easy at first as I did not know them and they were asking me to do funny funny things .. smile, hold the computer, lift my chin etc etc ..and I couldn't take it anymore so, I bawled my eyes out ..not easy at all .....

I was better a bit later on .... and this was the result

My dear Uncles and Aunties ..you can have a peep here if you want to .....

Sing away ....

2008-09-15T00:20:00.001+08:00

Once in a very very blue moon ..Mommy and Dadi would bring us, the cousins ..the only cousins on my Mommy's side, for a singing session ...

Me, Kakak Iman and Haykal

We treasure these sessions a lot. I love singing. When I was in Mommy's tummy, the final 8 weeks or so, Mommy used to let me listen to KRU and songs by Queen and some other singer whose words I can barely make out (courtesy of Anty Shamsilly ;P). I also used to listen to certain verses from the Al-Quran.

Mommy sings to me at every opportunity. She will make up songs to suit the occasion like when I have breakfast, she will sing

Roti canai, roti canai; Mira suka, Mira suka; Makan dengan gula; Makan dengan gula; Yum yum yum; Yum yum yum (to the tune of Are You Sleeping)

and many more.

Now, I can make up my own songs and pantuns .. whether they make sense or not ..who cares as long as it sounds good ... sometimes they will laugh at me ...sometimes they will say I am clever ..sometimes they will be totally clueless ...

My current favourite song is Ku Tahu by Mila and Mesera (ie. Seloka Hari Raya) by Hail Amir and Uji Rashid ..... percaya, tak???

That special trip to Klang .....

2008-09-14T12:55:00.000+08:00

Two days ago, Mommy and Dadi waited for Uncle Danny to send me home (Auntie Annie's house actually) from school and they told me that they wanted to bring me to somewhere special ..somewhere I had never been before .. somewhere that did not sell shoes ..:P ...

Mommy said she wanted to deliver the stuff she bought from T*sco the other day together with the donations from other Uncle's and Auntie's from ANSARA Jasin ..Mommy's secondary school alumni.

Half an hour later, we reached our destination ... it was formerly known as Rumah Anak-anak Yatim dan Miskin Al-Khairiyah, but just recently, it is known as the signage says below.

There are about 45 abangs and kakaks who stay here ..ranging from 7 to 17 years old. The orphanage is currently run by Tuan Hj. Tolos (74 yo) and his wife, whom the children fondly call Bapak and Mak.

Tuan Hj Tolos

Abg Aiman looking at some of the stuff that Mommy brought. Abg Aiman hardly smiled. I don't know why.

When we went shopping at T*sco, Mommmy told me tht she was buying some sports equipment for anak-anak yatim. SO, I asked her what that meant and she said.."abang-abang and kakak-kakak yang tak ada Mommy and Dadi dia". All I could reply was.."kesiankan Mommy ...dia tidur dengan siapa? ... to which Mommy replied .... "dengan kawan dia ...ramai-ramai ...." . I am so grateful that I have my Mommy and Dadi to hug and kiss me all the time.

When we arrived, it was time for Zuhur prayers. There was hardly anybody around except for Abang Aiman and another kakak. They all then, went to pray in the surau.

I overheard Mommy saying to Dadi that they really need help in terms of actually running the orphanage itself. Donations are one thing ... managing the place is another. The orphanage is actually single-handedly managed by Tn Hj Tolos with a few staff helping him. Mommy says that she feels they need at least a warden for both girls and boys, a counsellor and security guard to ensure the kakaks and abangs are well taken care of.

Abang Aiman, walking around with an 'ikan keli' during Mommy's previous visit before going to school.

Boys's hostel
(They used to have beds but they got broken on the next day)

However, maybe there would be an overhead issue. But still .......... the gardener looks after the boys and an Indonesian lady looks after the girls ...

Mommy also said that donations are given to orphanages in thousands or tens of thousands which is all well and good (Med*ia Pri*a donated some RM10,000 during a berbuka puasa session this Ramadhan) which is sure to be put to good use .. but the fact still remains that apart from providing food and shelter .. a lot more can and should be done ... maybe it is easier said than done .... at least Mommy wishes that ANSARA Jasin could do a lot more ... God willing ....

Mommy and Dadi, then brought me to see where the children slept, ate and played. At the end of my visit, I hugged and kissed both Mommy and Dadi furiously and hoped that they would be with me forever ..................

Preparing for Raya ...

2008-09-09T10:41:00.000+08:00

One of my favourite places of visits, apart from *buying shoes* ... is to see Uncle Hayroll ....

Mommy discovered him last year, after her previous seamstress made a disaster out of her baju kurungs. His outlet is in Pasar Rakyat, Medan MARA. Mommy was quite pleased with his work, so, we went to visit him again this year. I love to have my measurements taken ..makes me feel so grown up ..like Mommy.

Hmmm ..my measurements have surely increased as compared to last year .. This year's theme is kinda olivish greenish colour. I wanted pink but Mommy and Dadi would have none of that ... Mommy thinks it would be fun walking around wearing the same mother-daughter baju kurung ... duh ...... For Mommy's sake, I hope I would last longer in the baju kurung before I change into something which is more me .... and I am wondering whether I will actually be getting more "new me-s"......???? *pray pray pray*.....

Preparing for Buka Puasa .....

2008-09-08T13:45:00.000+08:00

I love helping Mommy cook. I want to grow up to be like her. I am helping Mommy to cut the french beans .... Mommy cuts them diagonally, I cut them any way I like ... into straight small pieces. You can see my small kitchenette behind me.

Before bulan puasa, I always sell my burgers and drinks to Mommy and Dadi. Now, I can only do that at night. The good thing about eating in my restaurant, my McD outlet, is that you get paid by me before I serve you your food. Where would you get such a good deal?

It's that time of the year again!!!!!!

2008-09-08T12:14:00.000+08:00

My favourite time of the year coz Mommy lets me help her bake cookies. Mommy and Dadi don't eat during the day. They only eat in the evening when maghrib arrives. However, now, Mommy sometime eats during the day coz she says baby is hungry ...

The picture below was taken two years ago ... The following year, Dadi bought for mommy stuff to bake cookies and they remained in the fridge until reaching their expiry date ... I know for sure that the flour ended up as cokodok ..or cucuq udang ..which I have learned to like ...

This year, I am old enough to do many things by myself. Mommy lets me roll out the dough ...(Mommy actually allows me to sieve the flour, control the cake mixer .. (her precious K*nwood Ch*f M*jor) and beat the egg yolks),

press out the cookies,

egg wash,

put sprinkles on the dough,

and voila .....the finished yummy product ....which i took to school ...

Then, I helped Mommy put the finishing touches on her cookies. Mommy used to sell them a long time ago ...before I came along ..no longer ...

Me ..the kampung girl ....

2008-07-02T22:59:00.001+08:00

Ahaaaa ......

2008-07-02T22:25:00.001+08:00

Looky looky ......

this is moi .......

and diz iz Dadi ..

Mommy ????? Use your imagination ...wahahahaha ...

Pay attention to the hole in my stockings ... I love getting dressed up and all ..maybe the hole was supposed to be there .. I donno ... not .....

My birthday celebration at school ...

2008-07-02T10:06:00.000+08:00

I told Mommy I wanted to give party packs to all my friends in class .... like Kyle and Kaelyn ... so Mommy prepared 15 packs, including one for Ms Nadia and she bought me a cake to share with my friends which looked nice on the out side but not so in the inside ..I do not like cream ..bleghhhhhh ...

My cake ... what's wrong with having a blue princess ...once in a while?

Uuuuu ... matches ..very dangerous .... I hate them!!

A baby brother or a baby sister doesn't matter ... as long as i get to be Kak Long!!!

Ms Nadia giving a slice to Kaelyn

Party packs ..all ready to be distributed ....

The contents of the party pack ....

My classmates enjoying and maybe pretending to enjoy the cake ... :p

My classmates ... can you spot me?

My latest Oz trip

2008-07-01T17:52:00.001+08:00

God knows what this is ..it looks pretty freaky to me ... Mommy was going on and on and on ..on how cheap they were at the Sydney Fish Market ..not that she could eat any ..being allergic and all ..... Dadi, on the other hand, could eat his heart's content but he lost his HTC handphone the night before and had no mood to go anywhere ...so Aunty Annie, Baba, Haykal, Aunty Siti and Uncle Fahmi had a go at them ... Tok didn't go .... coz she wanted to
update herself on her Indon sinetrons on youtube ..that is the beauty of staying at a backpackers' hostel ..free internet ... interesting experience ....

Melbourne was really cold ... this picture was taken after we were done chasing kangaroos ..they were pretty wild and refused to be taken pictures with ...Hrummpphhh!!! It was quite funny tho ...

Brisbane was a lot warmer and the kangaroos were a lot tamer and friendlier.. This was taken at the Australia Zoo ... Steve Irwin .. ring a bell?? .. CRIKEY!! I enjoyed it there ..

Finally ...this was taken in HOT and SUNNY Goldb**bs ... ooopppss... Goldcoast!!! ...(Mommy just couldn't resist that :P)

I am four today ...

2008-06-29T22:50:00.001+08:00

Thank you for the dress, Dadi

My cake, relatives and friends ....

I wasn't really scared of Mr Hamburglar ... Kakak Sarimah, who was helping Mommy serve the food was actually wearing the costume ... hahaha!!

Mommy and DadiMommy helping me to unwrap my prezzies ...yeay!! I would like to thank everyone for all the wonderful gifts .....

Acu ...this is for you and Uncle Arn!!!!! Auntie Siti and Uncle Fahmi ...this is for both of you, too. TQ

You can also click here for a few more photos ....

Three weeks already ....

2008-03-11T17:22:00.000+08:00

never wear diapers ...... see, donno what all the fuss was about. I overheard Mommy getting pointers from Auntie Joji the other day. I think Mommy was quite worried about getting me up at night to pass urine. So I became a good girl and did not cry everytime Mommy woke me up.

Mommy did something wierd tho'. I remember Aunite Joji saying that Mommy should put a rubber mat beneath me when I sleep to avoid wetting the mattress and blankets. That was one reason why Mommy kept postponing my nite-free-diapers. They (Daddy and Mommylah) ..kept on saying they were going to buy but never got around to do it. Finally, Mommy improvised by putting a large carrier bag (Harvey Nor#an's kut) in between a folded towel and it was the most uncomfortable thing I had to sleep on. It lasted for a good 2 weeks or so. ..!!!

and now ..no more.

There are other 'shi shi' tales to share ...... later ...

Wempit .....

2008-02-13T06:52:00.000+08:00

I like ..

in the blazing hot sun. I take turns with Mommy. No ..no ...obviously not on the bike. I get to 'wempit' once then I have to follow Mommy shopping ..then I get to go on the bike again .. or on better days ..Daddy will accompany me and leave Mommy to venture into the jungle of factory outlets at Harbour Town. More often than not, she'll always get something for me or else she'll appear with some strange looking gadget for the kitchen ... like the pineapple-ring cutter that she bought ..Huh???? (Pikcher later 2nite)

Penji Pretty's Wedding ....

2008-02-10T23:10:00.001+08:00

The past few days have been extremely busy for Auntie Pathma and Uncle Dev,my neighbours, as they were finalising the last minute details and touches to Penji Pretty's wedding to Uncle Nathan.

I managed to witness several interesting customary rituals that took place. I am not sure what they are called or the significance of each ritual .. but I will share some photos with you for you to decipher what they were all about.

To Penji Pretty and Uncle Nathan, we wish you .. "Selamat Pengantin Baru .... Semoga Berbahagia ke Anak Cucu....."

Picnic at Lake Gardens ..

2008-02-08T22:38:00.000+08:00

Before I update my stories and pixes of my trip to Ozzie, let me tell you what I did this evening. Daddy brought us (mom and I) for a fun time at Lake Gardens.

There was also Baba, Auntie Annie, Haykal, Daddy Lan, Iman, Achoo, Uncle Arn, Auntie Effie, Uncle Ja, Adam, Auntie Siti and Uncle Fahmi, Auntie Ada and Uncle Heri. Food was in abundance. There was nasi lemak, meehoon goreng, pita bread, salad and roast chicken, tuna sandwich, caramel and strawberry and peach panacotta (with a touch of lavender) ..heh heh .. Ala ala Nigell$ Laws0n ...

The above picture was taken after all my dear aunties' and uncles' (mom and dad included) tummies were filled to the brim .. and I then slowly asked Mommy .." dah baca doa ke????" Ish ish ish ...

Hello ...from Sydney

2008-01-26T11:54:00.000+08:00

Hiya friends .. hello from Sydney. I have lots and lots of stories to tell and lots and lots of photos to upload ..later ..when i come back. I am now at Sydney Airport waiting for my flight to Brisbane. We will be there for 7 nites. Internet connection is difficult aka expensive here .. so I only get to update my blog like now ..where i get free connection at the airport. Starbucks doesn't have free wifi like in Malaysia. :(

The weather has been fantastic. The sun has been shining down on us and the weather is kinda cool. Shiok betul. My staple food here is chips and gelato ..vanilla, wildberries, strawberry, coffee ..mmmmm.

Til later ..take care everybody

Carry or not to carry ...

2008-01-17T23:16:00.000+08:00

Today Ms Nadia carried me in class ... Oh noooo .. I didn't realized that I was being disciplined. I honestly thot Ms Nadia wanted to manja manja me ..until she said .."Oh what a pity class ..I have to carry Amira. It is such a pity. She refused to clean up after snacks ". Chehhhhh ..

Mommy has asked me to listen and to obey Ms Nadia but .........but ..I am only 3 1/2 y.o. Bagi chan lahhhh ..

My Pot Of "Pink" Gold

2008-01-15T11:29:00.000+08:00

Today Mummy has invited Achoo to be her guest blogger...so here goes...

Just to update on those lost years when Mummy was so lazy to blog, I am now 3 years and 6 months. I used to have long curly wurly tangled hair. I have not had a decent hair cut since my birth but after my golden locks, dry but very lovely wavy locks, turned to detangle-able-kusut-conditioner-pun-tak-jalan finally, FINALLY mummy got me a haircut at Fusion KLCC. Vain or what??? What!!

Talking about vain...i love to dress in pink. I love anything that has pink colour and print. I love dresses, make-up, handbags, hair accessories and jewelleries. You name it I have it.

Mummy even brought me to Great Eastern Mall for facial and manicure. I love to manicure and paint my cute fingers. Just like Kakak Iman. I didn't like the facial though. They put cucumber on my eyes and smeared oats on my beautiful face. Luckily they didn't get to slobber the mushy green avocado. What was the lady thinking "Oats untuk makan la!Lap! Lap!" "Oats are for eating! Wipe! Wipe!" That is exactly what I told her. That should teach her not to play with food! Sheesh..

I also love to travel with Mummy and Daddy. Oh we are going to Sydney and Gold Coast, Australia very soon! Yeay I hope they'll buy me more pink stuff and not forgetting a present for Achoo! Yes yes I have to remind Mummy this. Daddy works very hard. Thats why we get to travel and best of all thanks to Mummy for her grab-all-those-travel-promotions thingy we get to stay at hotels in KL, Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Melaka, PD, Penang, Brunei, Singapore, Cameron Highlands, Damai Laut and Jakarta just to name a few.

(****too many pickchers to upload ..nanti eh..)

I'm enjoying school so far. I have lots of friends and we play a lot too. My drop out after a week days are over. Heheh! :P

OK have a good day ahead. I know I will!

Note to self : Update blog more often. Yes yes I'll do this......

First day of school ????? ...

2008-01-12T12:31:00.000+08:00

Whatlah mommy ...big deal ... "look at me", "turn around", "sit there", "sit here" .... those neverending photo shoots ..Hrrrrmmmppphhh!! ..and it didn't end there ... in class ...more photos... videos ... plus other parents, too.

Not that it's my real first day of school. Many many months ago, Mom and Dad enrolled me at the KKindy. First week was okay, the second week, they decided to coop us all in one room and that was it. No more KKindy for me.

It's better this time around. It's a lot more airy and I have many friends. Ms Nadia is really cool. I like her.

I arrived very early on the first day. So early that I was the earliest child in school. Mom and I walked to school from Baba's house. Dad was too sleepy to send me.

I think I am really going to like it here .....

.. this is what Mom made us

2007-12-15T16:05:00.000+08:00

As pathetic as it looks, those who have been following my dietary progress will know that I have improved by leaps and bounds. Rice, omelette, fishball and sawi in oyster sauce is yummy ..

.. and this is what daddy had .....

Apologies ....

2007-05-27T03:57:00.000+08:00

First and foremost, Mommy would like to apologize to Lan, 5xmom and amy_imran for not replying to their comments which were posted in June 2006 .... Mommy, being the smart person she is, just found out that there were actually comments which needed to be moderated to be published (or somethin' like that!!) today ..like 4.02 am 27/05/2007 ...bulih???? And when she actually attemted to publish them , they comments couldn't be uploaded! Humph!!

Anyway, thank you again ... and Mommy says (don't dare to promise) that she will constantly update my blog again ..

Hello !!! .. I am almost 3, okay!!

And oso thank you to Mommy's friend/s who used to visit this blog to see whether there were any updates (namely, Auntie Lis for one!!).

Ciao ...

Colouring competition

2006-06-08T14:24:00.000+08:00

The above picture is a bit blurry .. taken by mommylah tu .. on her not so canggih camera !!! That is me in a colouring competition in Pekan, Pahang. Of course I didn't win! I got bored half way through and tore up my work ... much to the amusement of the kids around me ...

Pen Mommy, Pen

2006-06-07T17:12:00.000+08:00

I love to pen (paint). This method is called hand printing. Painting is a lot of fun. Sometimes I paint my face, too.

I'm back .... for good hopefully

2006-06-06T15:15:00.000+08:00

I am almost two years old. So much has happened since I last updated my blog .. i don't know where to start .. so .. i will just start anywhere.

I am back .....

2006-02-21T10:49:00.001+08:00

and see how I have grown ....

And she has disappeared again ...

2005-09-28T13:59:00.000+08:00

We have finally moved to our new and humble abode on the 17th September 2005 .... which has nil telephone line and therefore no internet connection .... *sigh*

Mommy is back .....

2005-09-08T03:20:00.000+08:00

Thank God! If anybody wants to know why I have been so quiet .. go here . Achoo now is living comfortably ..and I mean really comfortably with her in-laws.

And I will also be quite quiet in days to come coz we are moving house ..... so many things to do ..help Mommy pack etc ......

Til then , I am learning to stand on my own ... duh ...

My Tok and Tok Wan

2005-07-16T01:09:00.000+08:00

This photo was taken sometime in 1980, when Tok and Tok Wan were the same age as Mommy and Daddy now. Gosh! (Now, I think Mommy needs to go and start her own blog! She is encroaching into mine!!) Mommy says, Tok and Tok Wan are very funny people. I think they just received those headgears as presents and decided to take pictures wearing whatever it is to look ridiculous.

Their lives were filled with so much love and laughter. Mommy never remembers Tok and Tok Wan being at loggerheads with each other. If it did (which it did, according to Tok), it happened behind closed doors and the children (all four of them) never got to sniff anything.

Tok Wan was a person who loved life. Tok loves her books. Tok Wan loves the sea, Tok would bring her books along. Tok Wan loves to go out to sea in his motor boat, Tok would bring her books along (but I don't think she actually read them!!). Talking about the boat, Tok Wan had it painted bright chrome yellow and fixed it on the roof of the car for their PD trips. He also had one when he was posted to NZ. It was silver in colour.

His love for the sea almost took his life in 1981. Tok Wan had to visit some refugees on some remote island in I'sia. The rest of the family and office staff were enjoying themselves in some resort in the mountains. In the midst of calmness and serenity of the place, they heard Pak Yahya's car horn. Out came Tok Wan from the car, his face ,pale, his forehead had a small white plaster. His spectacles, different.

Apparently, the boat they were on had capsized. There were more than ten people on it, most of them top officials in the military and ONLY ONE life jacket!! Everybody struggled to keep afloat by holding on to the edge of the overturned boat... in the middle of the South China Sea ..... at midnight ...for a good 6 hours before they were saved by an oil tanker/ship which had to take a 30 minute u-turn before it could reach them. If Mommy was not mistaken, the crew were attracted to the light which Tok Wan flashed from his Alba watch (lights? from a watch? don't think they have that anymore). They were treated , on the ship, for their injuries and then brought to Singapore, where Tok Wan bought a new pair of spectacles and clothes (they were only cladded in their underwear when they were found).Then, they were flown back to Indonesia in a propeller plane, where much to Tok Wan's horror, did not have life jackets under their seat!!! Luckily, he arrived safely...

Tok and Tok Wan also loved entertaining. They used to have superb parties. Not the usual buffet parties that we have nowadays. They used to hold steamboat parties where Tok Wan would set up so many tables with so many steamboat sets, at home. There were also ones where there would be many 'stalls' that served different kind of food. Tok Wan has an ice kacang machine (the traditional ice grinder - yup, the green one that Mamak's use). There would be kambing golek and a lot of food I wouldn't know how to pronounce. Food was almost never catered. If it meant entertaining 100-200 people, then Tok would 'kerah' the other mommies to help out. Things like preparing thousand sticks of satay would be a norm. Tok's friends would remember "fondly" of those golden days. The parties would always end with a singing session ... many patriotic songs would be sung then ... "bonda senyum riang " .. and the likes .... There was also a time where they used to hold weekly dancing lessons at home .... chacha, rhumba, waltz, foxtrot .. and Mommy would be dancing with Pak Ngah or Tok Wan.

Most of the time, Tok and Tok Wan would include Mommy, Pak Ngah, Pak Lang and Achoo in whatever they do .... Mommy doesn't remember experiencing a dull moment in her childhood. Wait until I tell you about Mommy's expedition to climb Mt. Sibayak .. she actually managed to reach the summit at the age of 10 yo, wearing a skirt and blouse, leaving her family who was lagging behind!! Aha .... tunggu ......

Mommy says Tok and Tok Wan had lots of adventures together. She will share all her memories with me because she would like me to remember Tok Wan as she did. Even Achoo did not have many memories of Tok Wan as he passed away when she was 6 years old. Mommy was 14 then .........

My records ...then and now ...

2005-07-13T12:37:00.000+08:00

Funny, this blog is supposed to be about my developments .. but not much, huh! I just need to put this down and get it over and down with, before Tok hounds me... My records when I was born :

and the updates to date ....

I can crawl very fast

I can't walk, yet .. but then Mommy and Daddy also started walking at 1yr 2 mths ..so???

I have 4 teeth ... first lower set appeared on 13th March 2005 and the second upper set appeared on the 13th June 2005. I bite my Mommy's nippies when I get annoyed with her or just for the fun of it .. ;)

I got my MMR shot on the 30th June 2005. I am due for my Chicken pox vaccination on the 29th of July ..uhggghhhh .. another one ....

I don't eat much .. just whatever is on the floor .....There was one day, when Mommy was totally freaked out like I've never seen before. My mouth was oozing with a red substance, like blood .... Mommy nearly fainted. She didn't know that I quietly bit on a blood capsule which was left lying on the table. They thot I couldn't get my tiny hands on it!! Ha ha .. But I didn't like what happened next. She took a huge syringe and kept pumping it sideways in my mouth to wash out everything. My little teeth were like dracula's ... all red. She was practically hysterical ... and near tears .. I heard her asking Daddy whether to go to the hospital or not, got chemical or not, poisonous or not. Daddy was just laughing it off much to Mommy's annoyance. Daddy is always the cool one.. That's what I love about him. He said it was edible ..not for babies of, course ... ;P

I can say TOK, DIDI .. Mommy can wait ....... Whatever I say , she comes to me .. so what is the difference whether I call her or not ...

I know when to shout for Mommy to pick me up from the bed and not jump down ...(PHEW!!!)

I love my car rides ...

I love my at least twice a day baths

Oh, yes .. I love stopping at traffic lights .....

I am very good at turning my toys upside down

I hate seeing blocks stacked up .. so, I tear 'em down.

I will try and update more .. off to have my lunch ..

My monitor ...

2005-07-10T06:01:00.000+08:00

One of the cleverest things that daddy has bought mommy and me is the monitor. One for mommy and one for me.

Mommy told me that she had wanted to buy the monitor even before I was born. She did ask her friends whether it was absolutely necessary for her to buy one. Anyway, one thing led to another and I arrived. The monitor still remained at the shop.

For almost six months of my life, mommy was constantly running to and fro, from wherever she was to the bedroom to check on me. If she was at the computer, things would not be too bad coz it was a short distance but then I would already be crying my heart out for her to come.

If she was at the kitchen, then ... die. I would have to cry and cry and cry and finally she would be next to me. I was very unhappy and mommy was very unsettled. Then, mommy made a decision .. she wanted it NOW ... which was then.

So, to cut a long story short (read:walking to and fro baby stuff outlets in OU) , Daddy finally decided on the above. That was the best thing that ever happened for mom and me.

The monitor picks up the slightest movement I make (most of the time) and before I know it, I get a nippie shoved in my mouth. Most of the time, I don't realize all this is happening. After a good nap/sleep, I will finally wake up, happy and contented and make gurgling sounds to call mommy to play with me.

Mommy is very careful, though. I don't know whether it (??) has ever happened or not, but she is very careful to make sure that the monitor is switched off properly , especially when she and daddy are in the room. I wonder why????

Wanna ride in my car.....s?

2005-07-09T18:37:00.000+08:00

I simply love my car rides. I know mommy keeps many one dollar coins in her purse. She asks everybody to keep them and give them to her because she says they are not easy to come by. She even asks Daddy to go and get them from the bank. Yippee ....... more car rides to come.

Here is another one of me. Both were taken at One Utama. I overheard Mommy telling Daddy that before they had me, Mommy could never understand why some parents were always obliging their children's request and 'tantrums' to go on these machines. She says that she always thot these machines had always been such a rip-off. I don't know what she means.

If I see one and Daddy or Mommy doesn't or purposely doesn't look at it ... I will arch my back and tell them that I have spotted one (read:uuuuhhhhhh). I don't scream but I tell them politely. Daddy is more obliging than Mommy ..... but Tok is better...

and more of my collections .....

Have your cake and eat it!!!!

2005-07-07T18:06:00.000+08:00

Ain't my cake pretty? Mommy got this idea from Auntie Joji. Buy your favourite cake and buy some pretty plastic figurines then stick 'em on!! Abang Naim had a cake with 30 Ultramen doing stunts on his cake. After he blew out the candles, everybody grabbed an Ultraman each and ran off. Nobody bothered about the cake except for the adults who had the "brownie" with ice cream. No need to buy expensive birthday cake which nobody eats after that!!

Anyway , pls click here for some of the photographs taken on my birthday. A few of the photos have the copyright thingy on them, most of them don't. She (mommy,of course) was happily copying and pasting the thingy when suddenly everything went beserk (using PS) and sudah tak jadi.

I must tell you about my birthday celebration .. later .... now, daddy is calling mommy to go to sleep ... and I will also be calling her in a while for my midnite snack ...... yum yum ....

Happy Bday Amira Shasmeen

2005-06-29T01:48:00.000+08:00

"Happy Birthday, baby girl ..... " , sings mommy and daddy ...

See ... mommy is really really busy doing donno what .... ie. looking and running after me ..... I know she has lots things on her mind ..... to help me blog ... but i'll leave it at that ...

I am one today .........................

Happy Bday Daddy

2005-06-22T15:31:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday, Daddy. I wish you all the beautiful things that life has to offer like MOMMY and ME!!! We love you ....

Life in hospital 4/4

2005-05-09T17:42:00.000+08:00

I love it when mommy brings me to the playroom. I meet lotsa friends. I can stay here all day ...

Life in hospital 3/4

2005-05-09T17:40:00.000+08:00

This is me after my bath ... just thought off making life miserable for everybody ... **evil grin**

Life in hospital 2/4

2005-05-09T17:38:00.000+08:00

This is me at about 3am. My temperature shot up to over 40C and the horrible aunty in blue made mommy take off my diapers, exposing my bum to the cold air .. and then shoved donno what up my bum hole ... just you wait ...

Do you also notice that I am sleepipng on mommy's bed? I hate sleeping in the small bed that looks like a jail. I love sleeping next to mommy. So, mommy had to sleep next to me taht night and she ended up with a back ache. I kinda noticed that mommy would wake up every now and then, to stretch and to check up on daddy who was sleeping on the rather uncomfortable looking chairs. Gee .. the things they do for me ....

Life in hospital 1/4

2005-05-09T17:36:00.000+08:00

I love my baths. I'm not sure where I am. It doesn't look like the hotel we stayed in Penang and it doesn't look and feel like home either. However, I do kinda like the bath tub, tho. It is not as big as the one I have at home .. but that's all right ... I feel like a baby ...

Kolong ....

2005-04-15T02:26:00.000+08:00

Here is another one of mom's bright ideas .. I love crawling under the table, under mom's computer chair, anything that u can term as "kolong". I guess whatever it is they sell in ToysRUs is too expensive for her ..so I have to make do with this .. but I love it ...

My doll????

2005-04-15T02:25:00.000+08:00

Mommy made me this body-less doll even before she discovered she was carrying me in her tummy. I just ripped off her headscarve much to mommy's dismay. I also discovered I could rip off her hair ..smart eh? I need to tell that I do have other toys but i love the ones that mommy makes me the most.

My controversial mobile ...

2005-04-15T02:18:00.000+08:00

Now, take a closer look at the mobile mom made me ... She wanted to buy me one , even before I was born and pestered daddy to do so .. but somehow .. it never got done. See, mommy had stopped working so she did not have the money to buy me a fancy one. She decided to DIY one for me. Having accomplished this feat within 10 minutes or so, she suddenly took a long hard look at the cloth pegs which became the deco on the mobile. Lo and behold ..the cute teddy bears she thot that I would be staring at turned out to be little piggies ...WAHHHHHH. Tok bought them from donno where, thinking that they were teddy bears indeed. So .. so mom decided to throw them away and it has been almost nine months since she said so... It will go down tonite ...!!!!

My cot ...

2005-04-15T02:10:00.000+08:00

This is my cot. Mommy decorated the mosquito net with lace. Daddy didn't take the picture at a nice angle. Can't see the pretty flower with ribbons in front ... She sewed the net at the office and got scolded by pak lang ..

Now, how many times have I slept in this cot? Once ...... the night they brought me back from hospital ... So much for mommy's bright idea that I would be sleeping in a cot FOREVERRRR .... Daddy overruled that coz he tak sampai hati ... HMMMMMmmmmmmm ....

Of boundaries and authorities ......

2005-04-09T07:53:00.000+08:00

So they say a baby is intelligent .. Well, they haven't heard the last of it. Two nights ago, I, again, thought I would do something different. I was a very good girl during the day .. an extremely adorable little girl. When evening approached, I began to carry out my "little" scheme. On the pretext of not enough sleep, eemmmmm .. that was about after sunset, I started making theses irritating noises to test mommy's patience. I thought I felt a few strong pats on my pampers .. and I thot hey, that's interesting ... see how far both of us can go.

So, I conveniently bawled my eyes out ... making mommy panic. As there was no one else at home to help her, she thought of putting me in the pram and bringing me to the playground. As soon as she locked the door behind her, I screamed again .. so mommy picked me up and left the pram outside. First she dipped my feet into the pool ... I loved it ...then I got bored and screamed again .. then she sat me on other various toys and equip at the playground .. and I did the same thing.... screaming after each attempt .. Wah ... now I understand how to get things done MY WAY ....

She brought me up again , promising to lemme splash in my favourite red basin .. Nah ..not my favoutrite this time. So after she carefully prepared my bath, making sure that the water temperature was to my liking and all .. she dipped me in. Okay .. I counted to ten ..then .....wahhhhhhh ... Mommy panicked a bit and lifted me out. Thinking that I may be hungey or sleepy, she wrapped me in a towel, didn't even put on my clothes ..YAY ... and shoved her nipple in my mouth.

I was just about to enjoy it when I heard daddy's voice. Okay .. this is the ultimate test ... DO YOUR THING NOW ..........

I screamed and screamed and screamed like there was no tomorrow coz I knew ... Daddy was going to take me for a spin if I didn't stop .. Yahoo ... No matter what mommy did to me in the care, I just wouldn't stop screaming. Daddy brought us around KL ...and finally felt that he had to do something and stopped at the stairs of JAWI infront of Masjid Negara. There he lifted me and soothed me ..Hey, I kinda like that place .... Peaceful and tranquil. So .. I decided ..enough is enough .. I know what makes them tick now .. I know my boundaries and authorities .... at least for now ...

So, there we were, farder, marder and daughter ..lepakking at the stairs of JAWI playing silly baby games for a good 30 minutes......

So, until I need to test my B&A again, I promise to be good ...

Over and out, folks ...

Sit ..up ...

2005-04-05T21:31:00.000+08:00

Mommy is very lazy. If not for Tok nagging mommy to blog this ..she still won't move her butt. ..and I bet she will only be typing a sentence or two.

Today, i sat on my own. Didn't show mommy how I did it .. and she is pretty curious. Did it twice tho'. Ha ha. I love my "mandi" sessions. Mommy allows me to play for quite a while in the big red basin. I love twirling my body around whilst holding onto the edges. I am learning how to stand in the water. I managed to do it once, yesterday. Felt like such a big girl.

I got my cough and flu back and passed it on to mommy. Her cough is really really bad. So ..my weekly visitations to see Dr A begins ...

Phew ..that was more than a sentence ...well done mommy .. I love u, too.

Of my tooth and rocks .......

2005-03-18T23:46:00.000+08:00

And today, mommy, being the KPC woman that she is .. stuck her bacteria-infested finger in my mouth and slid it along my lower gums and found out that i had cut my first tooth ... which she then coolly ...screamed to daddy of her newfound "finding" ... Then I had another bacteria infested finger forcing itself into ma mouth. Aiyerrrrr ... could 've sworn that they would have jumped up and down if not for the many people around them. Some more tak puas hati, mommy tried to pry open mouth .. now to see ..ma tooth to no avail .. and of course daddy could not miss the opportunity of showing off. Hrmmmppphh ... Mommy was rattling off to dad that now she had to brush my tooth lah ... wipe lahh .. use towel to clean ma gumslah .... Whylahhhh ...

Much to mums chagrin , I showed off to Tok Ngah that I could eat .. no problem .. licked the whole platter clean .. but only that one time. Mum macam biasalah .. sooo .. excited ...

Then .. macam nak bagi can .. so people cud praise me somemore ..(wah!!! so many things i did in this one day!!!), I showed them that i could go on all fours and rock n roll ... ha ha ...

Update on my milestones

2005-03-16T15:01:00.000+08:00

Eeekkss ... the date is wrongly published . Today is 16/03/2005. Must be something wrong with the Regional Settings .. check that out later.

So, I am still pretending that I do not know how to crawl. However, I am making mommy chase me all over the house. She keeps on losing me coz she is always on the computer checking Auntie Lilian's blog *humph*. This morning she was looking for me (or so she thot) and accidently stepped on me ..heh heh .. I was under her chair and she didn't even realise it ....

Daddy bought me this really cool walker. The manufacturers guarantee that I will never topple over or fall out unlike the other one that I once used. At least I am not forever "mopping" and "vacuuming" the floor. Let mommy do it. So lazy that mother of mine.

I still hate eating. The other day, daddy tried feeding me this gooey thing they call cheesecake. Yuck ... My eyes, nose,face were all red ... trying to vomit the icky paste out. Oh dear, mommy is going to force feed me this evening ... *SIGH* ...

Mommy says I talk and laugh a lot for these past few days. Yalahhh ... I am no longer sick what .. I was so miserable for the past few weeks ..5 to be exact. Thank God everybody has recovered. ... and I get to go swimming again ...

Mommy says she wants to go and work on her own blog. Good idea. Welcome to mommy's new blog ...

Mommy is a big girl today

2005-03-16T14:25:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday Mommy ... For you, I will be extremely nice today. I will sleep and sleep and sleep so that you will have more time to blog .. (you wish!!)...

8 months today ...

2005-02-28T12:12:00.000+08:00

Well, almost ... February doesn't have the 29th .. so, I declare myself 8 months today. I have high fever today. Mom is at wits at as what to do. I was sick for the whole last month. Every Monday was spent visiting Dr A. I did get better but the cough came back coz mom got it, daddy got it, tok got it and achoo ,too. I haven't been eating properly, either. Infact, I just hate anything that comes to my face. Mom tried feeding me this icky, gooey, yucky, slimy stuff she calls banana. Ergghhhhhh .... I donno what I like either.

My mommy is going .......

2005-02-28T12:05:00.000+08:00

back to work. Yikes!! That means she will be leaving me with some stranger .. to feed me, to bathe me, to play with me. MN told mommy to get a maid to look after me and the house. Mommy was toying with the idea when Daddy put a stop to it. "NNNOOOOOOO..." he bellowed.

Mommy hates housework. Daddy doesn't do housework. SO???

Daddy wants me to go to a nursery. ...(mommy will continue later ..) ...that woman is soooo.... busy ...

My promise tonite ....

2005-02-23T02:06:00.000+08:00

Tonite I will be a very good girl and not wake up to play with my mother at 3 am for hours on end ..... I will only wake up to be fed .... I promise ...............

What today??

2005-02-23T00:43:00.000+08:00

Mommy has been so busy looking after me .. Stuffing medicine in my mouth, changing my soiled diapers, playing with me ... Luckily Tok is around to help mum amuse me. I hate it when I am left alone for so long.

I refused to sleep in the afternoon today. I want to make up for my lost (playing) time. I donno what mom was thinking when she kept drugging me. I bet she wanted to complete this blog .. heh ..heh .. no chance.

I love it when I 'demonstrate' something new. They get so excited. Adults are really wierd. I wanted to go to the balcony to touch the leaves and play with the dust and sand on the floor but Tok quickly grabbed me and put me on the silly mattress .. waaaaa .. Mom even created this blog specifically to record my milestones .. Thanks to Auntie Lilian.

Mommy tells people that I haven't started crawling coz I have a heavy bum. How dare she? Just look at hers ..and Tok's and the rest of the clan ...

My mom's thots are jumping all over the place tonite. She has a lot to tell ...but I am greedy. I want her for myself. I love the warmth of mommy next to me but she keeps on pulling her nippies out of my mouth when she thinks I'm deep in sleep.. Danngggg .. Bagi canlah ... I'll make some more sounds in another hour .. then she'll come running to me with her leftie in one hand ... "susu ..susu ..", she will sing, and then shove it in my mouth ...mmmmmmmmmm *grin*.

Mommy was very happy yesterday. She has been helping Auntie Jiej in her breastfeeding journey. I overheard her telling AJ that I was brought into this world for many reasons and one of 'em was to help AJ and Auntie M in their BF journey. AJ told mommy that Baby NZ, who is almost 1 month old, went to see her pead and was told that her weight was above average and AJ's worry about not having enuff milk was laid to rest. Yayyyyy!!!!!

Hmm .. tomorrow will be another exciting day for me.

P/s .. today I showed the world that I could suck in ma cheeks ..:)

The day I decided to tell the world ........

2005-02-19T02:02:00.000+08:00

Let me tell you a story of how I emerged into this world ... so much drama from a tiny drama queen ...
I think it happened when mommy just got back from a one week stint in Sabah and had to go off (AGAIN???) for a whole month in Perlis .. a tiny little sp**m got away from the rest and met this fat egg (who was also different from the rest .. Ob-Gyn told mommy that she could only produce teeny weeny lil eggies hence the eight year honeymoon with daddy ..) and decided to do its thing and .. voila ... I came about...UNKNOWINGLY to my dear parents ...

Mommy was travelling all around the country .. particularly to East Malaysia .. where she would jump, squeal, dance, run, pant (??), somemore dancing, running and squealing to some 100 odd kakak and abangs teaching them on how to enjoy the computer.She would stuff herself with a whole pineapple a day and here I was holding on to dear life .. not willing to tear myself away ..not now not ever. I really wanted to meet this person who was so s****d who did not know she was carrying a "human bean" inside her. What a d*ft woman!!

Then , for some reason, she decided to quit her job and join this man, who, later will be known as my daddy. Daddy had to go to China for some recording thing .. (no lah .. not singing ..) and just before he left , mommy helped daddy move office. Mommy is one strong woman. It was 3 am and daddy was so tired. He had a flight to catch in the morning so mommy, together with Uncle Zul carried the office tables (so b****y heavy they are!!) by themselves. Not joking coz I think I almost came out. U know what mom said ... "Adoi ... I think my peranakan jatuh!!" whilst holding on to her growing tummy. She thot she was joking not knowing she was so close to the truth. Mom was in pain and already jalan terkangkang .. but she ignored it thinking it was just a muscle pull .. me .. hanging on really strong .. No .. not now .. Not on the roadside ...

Tok paid for mommy to join a course in Basic Childhood Development. There, once again, mummy rolled on the floor .She and her bright ideas .. Mommy was exposed to how to raise a kid from the ages of 0-4yo .. complete with breastfeeding theories which proved to be so useful later.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I was getting fed up with being neglected. Mommy was starting to rub this stinking oil on her tummy thinking I was a piece of long s**t, Tok constantly poked on mom's tummy saying that she was 'busung', Daddy kept on poking my brains, geez, even Dr KK did a scan on mom when I was 4 months and did not see me ..WAAAAAA

I decided to sit on mom's large intestine (or whatever it is that makes her constipated) and she had to go the doctor. She went to the GP ..and Dr S said .."Ooohh.. you have mass inside you .." (MASS INDEED!!!)and she referred mom back to her gynae (for change in bowel movement problem.HA HA HA). Now, the gynae is all puzzled coz he was a fertility doctor. He told her that she should have gone to an gastroentrologist but since she was already there he decided to check her. Internal checks showed nothing. The raba-raba perut test showed mom had "BONY MASS" inside her ...*RIHTLOL (Rolling In Her Tummy) ...

Dr : OK .. lemme scan u
(Dr scanned and mom saw this really huge thing and she thot it was confirmed that she had fibroid or some sort of growth)
Mom: What is (the he** is that -silently) that doc?
Dr : Hang on ..
(Dr continue scan and I saw things flailing around)
Mom : WHAT IS THAT DOC .....?
Dr : That , my dear, is your baby ..
Mom: WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?
Dr : And by looking at it .. u seem to be abt 7 or 8 months pregnant .....
Mom: WHATTTTTTTTT????
Mom did not know how to react .. cry? laugh? talk? Talk about blur sotong .. this was really blur sotong at its ultimate ..
Mom: Are u sure? U're not joking???
Dr : Mam ...we do not joke about things like this ... (smile)
Mom: But I thot u said I had PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and the chances of me getting pregnant without treatment is almost zilch ..!!!
Dr: Allah Maha Berkuasa .....

And the rest is history ............................. (ohhhh .. so many post preggie stories to tell ...)

p/s .. BTW, daddy was at the mamak having roti canai and teh tarik when all this happened .. heh heh ... (guess where he was when mom was in labour??? at 2-3 am????) ...

Cleverer by the minute ..

2005-02-19T01:09:00.000+08:00

As of today, I can .......

Roll all over the floor
Twinkle ma fingers
Vomit all over daddy
Push away ma food
Scream when momma syringes the icky medicine in ma mouth
Move forward and backwards on ma tummy
Pretend I don't know how to crawl
Laugh and shout with joy when daddy comes home from work
Cajole Achoo to play with me
and dance for Tok....
