:: Kapoot ::

Ain have been using our camera to take pictures of her and her batch girls and guy at STC. Then yesterday in her attempt to upload the pics into the computer, she did the unthinkable. I also did not know what she did but the camera prompt her to format card. Although it seems power off or format card is an option, there is actually only one since choosing power off would lead to format card when you on again. So all the pics went kapoot. Luckily I have uploaded 'Aqiil pics. Not all but a majority.

So the Ayie birthday pictures... Well, we can say goodbye to them..

:: Knocked Out ::

It's 'Aqiil in the house here.. Fuhyoh, I had a long day yesterday...

It all started with Causeway Point with Uncle Hafiz and Aunty Irah together with Ibu. I was quite sleepy but Ibu still continued to get me ready...



And in jiffy, I am all set to go..



Despite being excited.. I still couldn't stop myself from yawning...



But when Ibu said 1,2,3 I would pose. And I always remember that when posing, I must smile. Oh no. Ibu is turning me into a poser. The flash from camera or phones always attract me and make me wanna pose and smile. Maybe I can ask Uncle Hafiz if I can model with him. Kekeke..

Apa dier kak?? Cannot..

Uncle Hafiz models bridal clothes and babies don't get married so there is no way I can model with him. Well, I have to wait till I am older and maybe I might just be good looking and then I can model.

So back to Causeway Point. We left home and took the bus. Uncle Hafiz carried my ride. He very strong and muscular so the pram might have weigh peanuts to him.

So we went shopping. Oh no.. Uncle Hafiz went shopping. He was buying a new phone. He is now more high tech than Ibu. Ibu use to be the first when it comes to stylo phone. But Uncle Hafiz beat her. He is now a proud owner of a touch screen phone.

Then he went to buy crocs slippers followed by a bling bling hat.

Ibu also shop. She bought a 4GB Toshiba Thumbdrive and this Africa Salt Spa Scrub from Body Shop. See, adults.. They shop while I only get to watch. Ibu wanna get a thumbdrive so that she can save all her pics from Nenek's house laptop. She is afraid the laptop goes kapoot with all her photos.

She also intend to buy a portable external HDD. To keep all her precious photos and then she will start printing batch by batch.

So after all the shopping they even feast on Old Chang Kee and bubble tea. We went home.

I rest a bit and then before I knew it, Ayah got me ready. We are going out again. To Nekde and Tokde house. Tokde is going for his Haj this coming Tues. I wish him a safe journey.

By then, I become even more tired. At about 9.50pm, we left for home.



Oh, that is me the biker. How come Ayah have a bike and I don't. This bike is too big for me and I don't have a licence to ride. After the police catch me. So what if Ayah is also a policeman. I think they sure won't care lor. I also wear the shoe that Ayah Bean gave me. Lucky Ayah bring the shoes over. I can actually fit into the shoes already. Ibu didn't even realise that I am growing rapidly.. What a word to describe my growth. Oh the shoes. They are cool. I feel so stylo and so grown up.. If only I could fit into those Levis Aunty Ein Ein bought. I am still small for that.

The whole day event left me so tired that I slept from 10am till 5am. Woke up for milk and it is back to sleep again.

Then after Ibu bathe me and put on fresh clothes. I slept again.



The sound of her flash woke me up and when she turn me over. I slept again.



Ibu said I am funny. When I am sleepy, I will just ignore what people do to me and when I am hungry, I wanna eat everything. Including Ayah's nose.


Now I am wide awake. Uncle Hafiz is going out.



See see.. He is wearing all his new stuffs that he bought yesterday. I think he is trying very hard to look cute so he can be cuter than me. Oh puh-lease.. You have got to be kidding.

Okie, I shall pass to Ibu now..



Toddles..

haha.. I wonder if 'Aqiil would also have a blog when he is older.

Anyway, Last Sunday, we had a celebration for Ayie. Photos to be uploaded later as Ain has got the camera. So since photos updated later. The story also comes later lah..



Ayie bought me a box of chocolates. Roses by Cadbury. It's for our first anniversary which is actually way over. Nevertheless, it was very nice of him. The Chocolates tastes so good. I busted my diet as I ate four pieces. Divine I tell you. I still have lots more. Oh no.. Welcome expanding waistline.

Anyway, I wanna embark on my abandoned photobook project. I shall first try out on our honeymoon pics. If it turns out nice, maybe I shall do one for my boy...

Okie, nothing much to blog. Tomorrow will be the start of 'Aqiil's cukor rambot preparation and Sunday is the real deal. 'Aqiil would wear the rompers that Su gave him.

Maybe Monday we would be back at IL's place.

So till there's new happenings... Enjoy your weekend.

:: No more barut ::

The days of white cloth wrapping 'Aqiil's tummy ends today. I read an article in the Berita Minggu and the doc say the barut or tummy wrap is not good for baby as it restrict the movement of the tummy hence result to the baby being uncomfortable. At times, the barut ride up to his chest and this could cause breathing difficulties. So while the old people (no offence here) say that it prevents colic. The doc had said otherwise. So 'Aqiil you are barut free.

So what have I done since confinement free. I went to Sheng Siong on Thursday with 'Aqiil,Ayie and Irah. We borong lots of stuff and since 'Aqiil diapers are running out, we bought a pack for him. I bought size M since the Size S ones are a bit tight for him at the thighs and he might just outgrow the small ones pretty soon. Fitti is now my final choice. He did not develop rashes on all the diapers he tried but Fitti to me has the best fit.

So Friday, I was off to ALexandra. Saw the therapist for my aching wrist and now I have a spleen made. I don't know how to spell it but it's more like a removable cast.







I remove it everytime I wanna carry 'Aqiil as it might hurt him. I am suppose to wear it as often as I can and avoid using my wrist too much. With enough rest, I should be alright in about 2 months.

After the trip to AH, we zoom over to JB via the Second Link. Ayie was scared to ride fast initially since I haven't been on the bike for quite some time. But after I gave him the okie sign, he sped off. I lioke. Riding fast always gives me that rush. But to be frank, I was scared at first but after five to ten minutes, I somehow adapt.

Shissha and makan and we are off home. Now we both cannot leave home without 'Aqiil for too long. Our mind will be thinking of him though physically we are elsewhere.

Saturday was lepak at home. Wanted to go CWP with Irah and Ain but the rain stop us. But I still go out at night with 'Aqiil. Mom's cooking at Blk 205 so I went over to kpo kpo lah. Stayed there from 9pm till bout 11pm. Wanted to leave at 10.30pm but I had to delay since Ayie's was in for a blast.

Busujai came over earlier in the afternoon and Ayie asked if he is coming. He said no and Ayie said Alhamdullilah. Ayie knew that Busujai is sure to sabo him real bad after what he did to Busujai.

Less than one hour, Busujai called. Mar kau beli cream. Nanti malam Busujai datang, kiter kerjakan ayie.. A tit for a tat. I didnt go out and end up Ain also did not manage to get frosting. So what he got.






Egg, flour and sweet potato peel. It's all a blur since he was moving so much. Nak pose pon orang nak continue sabo.






Alamak melekit aku..






Satu badan dah penoh. Nie goreng jer boleh dapat jempot jempot Ayie.






Poteman, Water please.

So he walked all the way home with me and the gooey stuff all over.

You should have seen how he try to siam. He tried carrying 'Aqiil but they keep pulling him and told him if he don't pass 'Aqiil over, dengan 'Aqiil 'Aqiil skali kene. So he relent. They slowly help him remove his pouch, watch, wrist strap then made him sit and even sang a birthday song. It was hilarious.

To see how he was saboed.. You can check it out :: here ::

and :: here ::



So upon reaching home, it was time for a scrub






Dah kotor pon nak act cool ker.

Oh the sabo thingy is not over. After this, he is going to get somemore. We bought him a cake for later and after the wedding is over, we shall celebrate with him.

It's our one year anniversary today. 1 year plus of courtship, 10 months of engagement and now it have been a year that we are husband and wife. Insyallah, there will be many more good years to come.

Oh if you think phone comes with earpiece for handsfree conversation.

Busujai can also carry baby without a carrier and handsfree too




See no hands. Must be so comfortable that 'Aqiil continued sleeping.

Tomorrow will be a day out for me and Ayie. Stil nothing planned but we shall just do what we want tomorrow. Spontaneous.

Toddles from 'Aqiil.

:: Mind your Language ::

Sometimes I actually wonder if 'Aqiil can actually understand us. we chit chat with him, he laughs like as if he understands. Five weeks old can understand oredi ker??

He woke up very happy today.. Played on his own for 45 mins coz his Ibu is simply too tired. He was laughing and laughing. Then when I carried him, he still continued laughing as I talked to him. I brought him out to see his Nenek and again he is laughing.

Speaking of Nenek, I caught her using Singlish with 'Aqiil.

Nenek : Later big oredi, follow nenek go walk walk, we go kai kai, play play.
'Aqiil : Just look at her and laughs.

It was agreed that I shall speak English, Ayie speaks Malay together with my parents. My siblings also uses English with him. But cooing in Malay sounds so much better that I dump my plans aside for the time being. I told my mom, use proper English instead of Singlish and she said, Aiya, Singaporean wat.. Must learn Singlish also..

So now it's going to be English, Malay and Singlish. Wakakak..

Ayie called Bean last night and after talking to him, Su ask to speak to me. And guess what was the conversation about?? 'Aqiil's finger.

She was like. Eh apa you buat ngan jari 'Aqiil. Banyak darah?? Lama tak dier nangis. Ish jahat ah you.. Kesian lah dier.. She just shoots the questions like a bullet train. Wakaka.. Aiya accidentally mah. Takkan I purposely wanna clip his finger kan..

See 'Aqiil your Ummi Su very concern tau about you.. So you must put on weight and get into the clothes that she bought you...

Oh today is last day of confinement.. Lepas nie gua bleh merayap lah..

Toodles...

:: Busy as a Bee ::

Okielah I bedek lah.. Not really that busy as a bee.. My role is minimal.. Okie what am I talking about..

It's 'Aqiil cukor rambot and berkhatan ceremony this coming 30 Nov. I am not doing much since my mom and dad truly is doing all the planning and what not...

First and foremost I would like to apologise if I did not invite you to the ceremony as I only invite very very close friends which is less than 10. Serious.. I segan lah wanna invite so many people.. After people say nie nak kahwin ker nak cukor jambol kan.. So we shall just keep to the minimum. The rest of the guest would be our relatives, his and my parents friends.

Only the berkats for children would be settled by us. Need to shop for 'Aqiil's outfit for that day since he won't be able to wear what we have back at our place. He is still not long tall enough.. And his clothes here all dah jadik baju basahan... So that gives me a reason to shop. Ayie and I would also be looking out for our matching pair of clothes.. If nothing fancy us, then we would just wear whatever is available..

After the cukor rambot and berkhatan, it would be 'Aqiil's Aqiqah. Decide to do that at Masjid kampung sembawang... Will drop by to see the whole process. Then take pictures and all so that Insyallah, when 'Aqiil is all grown up, he will get to see what goes on when he was still small. Insyallah if ader rezeki, we will do his qurban next year..

Oh, I am quite sad at the moment. I knew this would happen. Sometimes I feel that I should just be selfish and be concern only with our priorities. Enough of thinking about how others feel while we suffer. But too bad, it is just not my nature.. I just hope I have the patience to endure and that all this will end real soon. Insyallah..

Now I shall not think too much about it and look forward to my first gym comeback this Friday after 10 months.. Fuyoo shiok ah.. Tomorrow is the last day of confinement. Like finally.. I was thinking of going to the gym in the morning before I go to work. Workour from about 9-10am then leave for work. Jgn angan angan taik ayam sudah aku nie..

Oh a colleague of mine passed away last night. My condolences to his family. Though I don't really know him that well, he was a nice and humble guy. Life is so fragile. When Allah wants to take our life, he just do so. No reminder.. We will be gone just like that. What is left behind is the memories that people have of us.

So I wish all of you a great week ahead..

:: Nenek say I look like a plumber ::

How can my nenek say that??? I think I look cute right.. This is from Aunty Haini.. It belongs to Abg Mikaeel..Thank you Abg Mikaeel and Aunty Haini. Since it is raining, Ibu let me wear long pants.. She loves the rain since it is an excuse to dress me in long sleeves rompers and long pants and what not..

So today I had posing lessons from Ibu - Posing 101... Ibu made me do it even though I am quite sleepy after being awake since 12.30pm. But since I wanna be a filial son, I just did what Ibu asked..

At first I pose like this??




Ibu say cannot.. Must look at camera and smile..

Then I pose like this.



Like this can Ibu??

Again Ibu say no.. She say smile not frown 'Aqiil..

Then finally after a few poses, Ibu say Like this okielah...



See Ibu like my pose.. I told Ibu, take close up lah Ibu..



I even help to smile.. I am such a good boy.. Ibu send this pic to ayah and he said I look cute..

Duh!!! Of coz I am ... Ayah would be crazy to say I don't since almost everybody say I look like Ayah and if I am not cute, he ain't cute too.. It's like a slap on his face lor..

After I pose so much, I deserve a reward.. hmmm ... $$$$$... Ibu took psychology so she believes in conditioning. Rewarding good behaviour increase the good behaviour while punishing when I am naughty will help discipline me..

So I got my reward.



Reward comes only in one form.. Not $$$ of coz.. Milk... Ibu say when I am older I get better stuffs.. So I shall be patient since it pays to be patient..

So after I am full from that 4oz of milk.. I need my beauty sleep.. Tyra Banks said models need to have sufficient sleep...



Oh this bed no standard lah... I prefer Ibu and Ayah's bed.. I heard they have this cool bed and I slept once.. Not bad.. But I think I won't have much chance since they want to put me in a cot.. They so stingy, don't want to share one..

I woke up like 5 mins later.. I don't like this bed..Put me on my stomach please..



Yes.. this is better.. So I shall enjoy my sleep in this wonderful weather....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

:: I'm bloody sorry ::

What a way to start off 'Aqiil's five weeks today.. Ayie just gave him a bath and I wanted to clip his nails. Since it's Friday, I thought while Ayie massage him, I shall clip his nails, skali when I was about to clip one of his nails, he moved and I clipped his fingers.. He screamed and kept crying..

Ayie look at his finger and it was bleeding.. A lot of blood came out from that cut and I think I must have clipped quite a lot... It was heartwrenching. I did not wanna see the damage that I did. He cried for a good 20 minutes. And the blood continued to flow for that period of time too.. Sorry 'Aqiil, Ibu am so sorry.. Ibu shall leave anything that needs clipping or cutting to Ayah okie...

Ayie become the doctor while I became the assistant.. Kekeke..

The damage is done.. And we bandange his little finger...




When Ayie talked to him while trying to stop the bleeding. He said, 'Aqiil takmo nangis eh... Tahan eh.. 'Aqiil strong boy kan.. He just cebik his lips and make this sad face.. Macam paham jer budak kecik nie.. Buat muka kesian kat Ayah dier..



Gave him milk and awhile later he waked up all fine.. Kekeke.. Yeah.. Strong boy.. Skejap jer 'Aqiil dah besar eh..

I am feeling kinda bored now.. After I am used to 'Aqiil's daily routine and now that school is over, I think I am left with nothing much to do.. Can't wait for confinement to be over so I can head to Amore and do something different again..

Okie to all. It is the weekend.. And next weekend, We are celebrating our one year anniversary... Yay 'Aqiil, Ibu and Ayah is now one year old..

So to all, enjoy your weekend.. With this cold and rainy weather, it is cool to just stay in and snuggle with your loved ones.. Adioz..

:: Ibu, I am one month old now ::

I am now one month old... Everybody say time flies.. Ummi Su was the first to wish me happy one month old. Followed by Aunty Irah, Aunty Ain and Uncle Hafiz..

Like I said earlier, Ibu didn't have time to do anything for me since she is out early in the morning to send in her report. I heard Ibu collected her cert yesterday too. I am so sorry Ibu didn't go for her Convocation because of me but I know she don't mind. She still can go for one next year..

But she was kind enough to treat the family Pizza although both of us did not get to enjoy the pizza.



I did get to pose a bit..



This is ayah patting me to sleep so that he can enjoy the pizza...

Today, we went out. Ayah starts work at 3pm so he decide to bring me to the polyclinic together with Ibu for my second dose of Hep B. I am so happyas I get to ride in my orang car.

I cried a bit when the nurse jab me. But for like 2 to 3 seconds. I mean you cannot expect meto act strong. Painful okie.. The nurse took my weight and height and I am now 5kg and 56 cm i think. I couldn't hear what the nurse said about my height as I am too nervous about the jab.. My head is a bit small though. I think I am just like Ibu and her siblings. They all have small head.

So after the jab, we went home. Ibu said we shall take the bus from the bus stop on the left but Ayah said we take from the right. The left bus stop looks ulu.

So we walk to the right and we walk to the right as we walk as we walk as we walk with all our might..

There was no bus stop.. And Ayah despite being wrong tried to be cool about it. Ibu said, we shall just walk home.



If we turn left, we would be going by PIE. Too bad my orange sports car not allowed to enter.



Ayah posing with me by the longkang..



Ibu and Ayah posing by the longkang.. Aiyo so not romantic... where got people take couple pics by the longkang...



As walk slowly pass Woodlands Garden, Ayah and Ibu found a better background..



Ayah posing abis.. He looks like he wanna run...



Ibu also wanna pose with me... Maklomlah, it is only when going to the clinic that Ibu have a chance to let loose.



I also demand that my picture is taken.. How come only the adults get to take most of the picture..



Ibu and Ayah take a picture together again.. Huh, this time then okie.. Pretty and handsome lah my Ibu and Ayah.. Kekeke..

Oh we walk for half an hour. Ibu calves now painful. She was stagnant for 10 months so the walking must have jolted her muscles from their slumber.

So now, Ibu and Aunty Ain wants to feed me with lotsa milk so that I become more plump.. Then I can wear the clothes that Aunty Ein Ein, Ummi Su, Aunty Rinz, Aunty Haz and many other aunty and uncles lah..

Oh Aunty Haz and Uncle Iqbal came to see me today.. Aunty HAz was nice to bring a long sleeve top and a shoe for me.. She even get a bottle of Incanto perfume by Ferragamo for Ibu. How come Ibu gets a present too?? I tot I am the star... Oh Uncle Iqbal gave Ibu this glamourous hook for hanging stuff when she's out. Nenek wants one too when she saw Ibu's hook so Uncle Iqbal gave her one..

Oh by the way, Aunty Irah and Nenek is worried that I am going back next week. She say she don't mind sleeping outside just so that I can stay here with her.. She say, she wish I can stay here for a year.. But I don't think I can.. Ibu and Ayah have the final say..

Anyway, I can always visit...

Now I am in Atok Din's arms.. So I shall go back to my lala land..

Lots of love
'Aqiil

:: Shit on Me ::

Poteman and family came over to our place on Friday to visit 'Aqiil. We were all siting in the living room chit chatting and 'Aqiil was on my lap... I told mom prior to their arrival that 'Aqiil did not pass motion since yesterday..

So while talking to Cik Su, Cik Su look at 'Aqiil and said, Mar muka 'Aqiil nie macam tgh meneran jer... Then she suddenly said, eh Mar apa tu...

He shit on me... Yellow stuff on my pants.. Thanks darling.. You made Ayah the happiest man on earth. He was so excited about it and was laughing his ass off that he quickly tell Ain what 'Aqiil did the moment she came home..

I have been the only lucky one so far.. So Pureen diapers is out... I shall stick to my Fitti.. I think it is the second choice after Mamy Poko. Pampers is too costly. We tried Drypers too.. Alhamdullilah 'Aqiil did not develop rashes on any of the diapers we've tried..

Anyway, enough about diapers and shit, my project is done.. I manage to complete one day ahead.. All 37 pages... When I flipped the report just now, I couldn't believe that I actually manage to complete. I almost have up after giving birth. I am not expecting to do that well. Perhaps enough to pass will do since I did not put in much effort. I am ashamed to actually admit that.. All last minute work..

Now that school is over, I amsuper happy and free.. I shall try to BF 'Aqiil and I hope my breast don't fail me and produce some milk.. Pumping shall start tomorrow...

So tomorrow morning, I shall go and submit my report, bank in 'Aqiil money and then go to Sheng Siong and finally head home to wait for the arrival of our groom and bride to b, Iqbal and Haz...

So I shall join 'Aqiil and Ayie on the bed now.. Confinement is only 9 days away from being over.. Hooray..

:: When I grow up ::

Okie Nicole, put Lewis and his F1 title aside... I need someone to sing for me here..Hellooo

Okie much better..


When I grow up, I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies







How my movie star looks?? Okie??








Then if I need an assistant who is just as glamourous as me, there is always my trustworthy Oyang.. I mean who doesn't know how protective she can be and I am assured to be in safe hands..



Or if all else fails, I shall just be a policeman like my Ayah...




Oh wait, I must learn how to wear the peak cap properly to be a policeman..






This is much better..



Hmmph, Like gerak khas or CSI eh...


Anyway, I am 4 weeks old today.. Fast hor. Just like four weeks ago, I am still in my Ibu tummy and now, here I am all chubby...



This Monday is my 1 month old birthday, Ibu say there won't be any present as Ibu would be too busy with her school project. She have to hand it in on Monday. I don't mind since after that Ibu would be very free and she have all the time for me.. How nice to be small and yet I get undivided attention from everyone in the house... But I have to take my Jab on Wednesday.. I am sure I won't have any problem with that..


Oh btw, don't trust dads to take care of you.. Mine fell asleep while trying to pat me to lala land..


See, I got proof...



Okie Ibu needs to go back to her project and I shall continue being in lala land..



Good bye..
