:: hear ye hear ye ::

I just wanna tell everybody that I'm two today. Woo hoo. Ibu and ayah say there's no birthday party for me. I only get a party for my one year old birthday. Lucky for me though that Aunty Ain insist that we go for dinner after they are done with catering. Else, I'll be spending my birthday at home.

Ibu say she'll post the pics tomorrow.

So till then, I'm gonna get ayah. I yak already.

:: Play time ::

We made a change in our routine now. For the past two nights, after we bring 'aqiil home from parents' place, we play with him in the playroom. He is really enjoying it judging from the laughter and screams. We even sand twinkle twinkle little stars and 'Aqiil follow the actions that I act out. I feel like a nursery teacher.





Looking at how busy he is, it's easy to tell that he love his playtime. He also love to play ball with Ayie. Kick or throw in the net. He will shriek with laughter. It also help relieve our fatigue for the day.

After playtime, Ayie will cut fruits and after a serving of fruits, it milk and sleep.

So hopefully today we will continue with this new routine of us..

I bought 'Aqiil's birthday present at Toy r Us just now. Now I have to lug it home. Wanted to get it at Metro but they no longer have it so not much of a choice. I also bought crayola for him so he can do some colouring. This is to prepare him for school next year. Next I need to print pictures for him to colour. Irah drew some for him yesterday and they are nice. If only I can draw as well as Irah.

Oh check out my dad scooter. Pimp my scooter that is..



So who wanna joing me for a ride. I on my engine first.

:: My girls ::

The lucky thing about me is that, I need to give birth only twice and yet I have four kids. One boy who is turning two this Sunday and two girls who turned 4 months on the 1st October. Then come November or maybe even early Dec, I will have one more boy. So I am a mother of four. Wakakkaa...

So since I've been talking about my boys this past few entries, let's concentrate on my girls today.



Aren't they adorable?? Look at those thighs.. Kalau aku dapat gigit tu peha.. aku kenyam kenyam kan.. LoL..

They entered the world at 2.1kg and 2.9kg respectively and now look how they have fatten up... I was telling Su, they look so like Bean and Ayie said babies and their Umi contrast coz Umi is slim sungguh.. Su said that over time, if she still lose weight, she might just disappear. Kekkee.. It's okie dear, once they are a bit older, Insyallah, it will be so much easier on you. Then it will be so fun when we bring all four of them for outings.. yahooo.. I can't wait for that...

I miss them so much. The last time I met them was during their cukor rambot and then when we went to JB, there was only Anyssa.. I'm sure they have begin to baby talk and soon they will be sitting up and walking.. Then our baby will have one abang and two kakaks to play with...

I think we will need to forgo plans to raya at their place as I am really tired already and the thoughts of going out will tire me even further. I prefer to just lepak at home..

Oh I made kuih bakar jagung last night and shared with my colleagues. Actually it is meant for Noren and I but since there was quite a lot, I gave some my colleagues some. They said it was nice and not that sweet. To me and Ayie, it is like super sweet lah and I am sure to reduce the amount of sugar and condensed milk the next time I make it. The taste would be more palatable then... So here's the recipe.


(Photo courtesy of Rozzan's. I forgot to take a picture of my Kuih Bakar)

Kuih Bakar Jagung

1 cup flour
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup condensed milk
2 eggs
1 can cream of corn
1 cup corn kernels } optional, I think it will be crunchy
2 teaspoon vanilla essence }optional, I add coz I don't like it to taste very egg-y
some yellow colouring
some sesame seeds

1. Use a blender and blend all the ingrediens until well mixed except the corn kernels and sesame seeds

2. Add the corn kernels and blend a bit to mix well

3. Pour in a non stick baking tray and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top

4. Bake at 160 degrees for about an hour.

:: @ 32 weeks ::

Time really flies... I have about 8 more weeks plus minus two more weeks. My colleagues are work are all commenting at how huge my tummy is. There is this guy Ranjeet who asked me to go home. He is kinda cute.. He said when his wife gets pregnant, he will send her back to her mom's place coz he is terrified of pregnant worman and in the event of an emergency, he won't know what to do. He even asked the guy who sit next to me to take care of me and if anything happen, don't call him coz he will pass out. LoL..

I went visiting last Saturday. My neighbours open house, then drop by my parents coz Mom bought Ayie satay. Ayie told her on Friday that he wants to eat satay and on saturday, the satay is there. How lucky... I told mum, if I wanna eat unta how.. She say, aiyah in Singapore also can find unta. But no thanks for the unta.. lol.. After that we went to Ayie's parent's place and by the time we reach home, it was almost 10.30pm. I'm like so tired. Luckily, we took a cab..

Sunday was spent at home. I cooked beef soup. The ones which rempah like those mama stall ones. The beef was super tender. And I think I will just get beef from the market via my mom instead of getting from cold storage. It's much cheaper and it is of better quality.

Awang and Rin drop by to visit and 'aqiil played with Rin. He must be very happy to have some company at home...

everyday is a drag now. My eyes gets sleepy ever so often. I was trying to help Ayie hand the laundry last Sunday. After just two pieces, I feel like fainting. I stopped to rest and then hand another two pieces. It takes so long to finish one pile. And that is also with all the cold sweat and stuff.

'Aqiil is well behaved at home but when he steps out of the house, goodness.. He unleash the dragon lah. He runs around non stop and he gets so talkative. Okie he's talkative even at home. I seriously cannot decipher what he said to me. Yesterday he woke up and he said, tik nak tik nak.. I was like.. what 'aqiil? Tik Tik. And he showed me his fingers. He wants to jentik me lah.. Just like when he's naughty and I want to jentik him. And on Saturday, he spilled one whole can of milk. His milk I must add. All the milk went to waste. And while I was busy cleaning up, he went to the room, remove his soiled diapers, ones with poo I must add, then throw in the rubbish bin. He gave me such a mischievious smile.. I didnt even end up hitting him. He was trying to be independent. So gasak kau lah nak..

He eat a lot of fruits. I think my dad who always feed him fruits and Ayie who also feed us with fruits played a big role in his fruit loving habit.



Look at my orange-y smile.. He followed what Ayie did. Excuse his mucus please.. kekkee



Him with jambu akak rose apples. He finish a whole big plate of fruit. I was contented with my limau bali.. Yummy...



And this was before the spilled milk and remove my diapers incident. You will only know how Ayah feel when you are in his shoes. So I wore his shoes, It really feels heavy...

Oh I wanna share my workstation pic that is full of photos. I wanted it to be all nice and informal seen I am supposed to be working in an all garang place. Wkakaka. Macam real...



First angle..



Second angle. But I heard, they are going to have the renovation soon so I might be moving from this place soon.. So sad..

Oh and congrats to Anum on the birth of her baby boy. Baby's birthday is only 10 days away from mummy. Can celebrate together eh..

And my condolences to our MM Lee and family on the dismiss of Mdm Lee.

:: My two boys ::

I had wanted to blog about this like the first thing in the morning but I was too busy looking for stamps to post my EPT application and then bought prata as I was really craving for it. I am not sure what's this pregnancy and prata. Then I got caught up with some readings and everything got delayed.

Last night, my two boys applied cocoa butter on me. It has always been a routine for Ayie even when I was expecting 'Aqiil to recite the Al Fateha while applying cocoa butter on my tummy and legs and back. So yesterday when he was applying the cocoa butter, 'Aqiil joined him. He was so happy when Ayie let him help. He rub rub then put up his hand to 'recite' the doa and then rub rub for like another few seconds before putting up his hand to 'recite' the doa. Then he helped with the leg and the back and he even kiss the tummy before he ends. Ayie and I was laughing and laughing looking at him.

I am seriously amazed with the amount of joy that a child brings. Of coz it's not all nice and rosy. There are momeents where he gets some spanking from us. Although we don't bash him up and the spanking can be considered quite mild as he is still young, we want to instill discipline from a young age. He need to know he have to clean up his toys, throw his diaper and other rubbish in the rubbish bin, put his soiled clothes in the laundry bag and other simple stuff. But we also do not want him to miss out on all the childhood things like playing freely, running freely. He only have one childhood and we shall try to make it a well lived childhood.

So we have decided that we might take in the maid on 1st Nov. So with her around, my parents can concentrate on Ain's wedding. And she can help me look after 'Aqiil during Ain's wedding and I can get more involved. Best Best... So even if I pop earlier than expected, things are somehow in place. So next up will be discussing it with Kak Mid. Insyallah everything will go smoothly.

Oh I heard that HL or Magnolia milk with Milo Fuze taste good. Like chocolate shake. I want to try that in a while. I don't have much cash with me coz the ATM opposite my office is not working.. Boo Hooo

My two boys.. I so heart them..

@ 31 weeks

I turn 31 weeks yesterday and that means I have around 9 more weeks to go. That seems long but lets put it in another way, around 2 more months. That seems much faster.

I am feeling very giddy today. I had cold sweats while on my way to work. Luckily there are still seats in the train. I was'nt that late. I believe skipping dinner last night was a bad idea as I am now suffering from the repercussions. I quickly ate one egg toast and sausage roll. The sausage roll was a bad idea coz it was really oily. I did'nt throw it away as I do not want to waste food. Had fishball noodles for lunch and I am still giddy now. I feel very light headed.

I am also thinking about the maid issue. Like how we can adapt and when is a good time to get one. Maybe I might just start on the 1st Nov so that there is ample time to get used to things in the house. Moreover, my mom will get some time off to prepare for my sister's wedding

I shall try my best to be a good employer. I mean they are also human and while there is a need to be firm, there isn't a need to be cruel. They are also living in a foreign land and need time to adapt.

I suddenly feel there are so much to do and there's actually so little time.
Everyday seems to be a rush. A mad rush that is..

I worked late yesterday and when I reach home to an empty house. I felt so alone. There was no Ayie irritating me and there was no 'Aqiil to break the silence in the house. I tried so hard to fall asleep and only manage to do so at about 1+ and that was also after tossing and turning for a long long time.

I wish things will fall in place real soon.. Insyallah..

:: Moan - Day ::

I wish I can skip work. But I know I just have to dream on..

I am here today to deliver what I promise. I painstakingly force myself to stand up and take a picture of the scan.



Here he is at 29 weeks. This was taken on the 15 September 2010. Our gynae, the ever patient guy labelled the scan pic. Baby is weighing at 1.6kg. He was only 900g 5 weeks ago. I think he weighs like baby formula. Doc commented that my weight gain is minimal and I told him it could be due to my fasting. But since the baby is alright, he is fine with it and he said I also need not worry as baby is growing healthily.

I think for my next check up, the doc will be saying why so much weight gain. Lol.. I have been stuffing myself silly man..

Anyway, yesterday, I tried Noren's mom fried rice. It uses purely chilli padi and I was burning lah. Baby was super active yesterday and Ayie said it's because the baby kepedasan. Lol.. He was squirming and wriggling and at times it was quite hurting....

'Aqiil is like so active nowadays.. Yesterday, I was lying down watching TV when Ayie came in with the treasure box. He asked me where to put this box. I said, eh, why you bring this box out. 'Aqiil will mess the toys. Ayie put the box on the table.



Then when I open the box, this is what I get.



My most precious treasure. He love it in the box that he refuses to come out. He was wailing and wailing when Ayie kept the box that he even merajok with Ayie.

He refuse to talk to Ayie after that. Wakkaka..

And at night, after brushing his teeth, Ayie asked him if he wants to sleep, he said no... Want to play? He quickly said yes.. Huh, relek sudah pakcik.. You sleep since it's already 10.30pm. He even ask me to pat him and he action cry.. Too bad, his ibu know all the tactics already.

He can be a pain at times and a joy at other.. I believe that is the beauty of having a kid....

:: Mabok Raya ::

Our weekends are jam packed. We have so many vistings to do and Alhamdullilah, we get quite a number of visitors at our place too.. I love visitors. How I can fuss about preparing for their arrival. Nice.. And 'Aqiil gets lots of friends to play with when they come with their children. 'Aqiil love friends...

So let's start with last Sunday. I wanna share this pic that I so love.



Us in black. The abaya belongs to Kak Linda and I so love it. You can actually adjust the waist size so even after pregnancy, it would be nice to wear. The material is cooling too and the designs simple. I like. I told Kak Linda to get one for me to wear for Ain's wedding. I'm so excited.

And 'Aqiil, I love the wak jawa look he is sporting and the cheeky grin on his face. Ayie is a Jawa convert. Lol.. He is like so into that Jawa headgear. They call it blangkong it what...

Cucu mendong also wanna get a share of the glitz and glamz..



'Aqiil is the thorn amongst the pretty flowers.. How lucky. I wont be surprise if 'Aqiil is gonna be matured in nature since his 'friends' are all grown up... I still remember how he told shasta to be careful when going down the platform at Uncle dollah's house. He said, 'stop, fall' and he points to the platform. He's practising his role as the abang already..

And we ladies, can't resist taking our photos, the past raya, the coming one and more to come..



Huh. amik kau, Huda dah bukak kepak..kekeke

And finally, this pic was taken at BiBik's place on the first day. We cuzzins and our kiddos, all queued up to seek forgiveness from the uncles and aunties.



There are more unseen people around coz they are either shy, which I really doubt or they are short. wakakka.. The latter is definitely more appropriate..

Saturday was spent going to ayie's friend, my friend and the previous owner of our house place, all in Geylang.. Circle line is efficient coz from woodlands, it only takes us 40 mins to reach Paya Lebar. Impressive.. we head for my uncle's place with my siblings after maghrib both of which are located in Jurong...

Then first part of Sunday was spent going to Ayie's side with the in laws while after Maghrib we drop by my Pak Ngah's and Haffiz, Ayie's friend's place in Yishun. we wrap up with our next door nebor place..

And at the end of the weekend, I am so shag...

Anyways, I think I want to start eating more fruits.. Instead of having 2 slices of french toast with Milo peng, maybe I'll go for one apple and orange or papaya or honeydew instead. Sounds better. I already have my orange and green apple on standby now.. Hmmm Hmm

I'll go catch a nap for an hour before starting with my work. I'll be back with my gynae appt story soon ya...

:: Selamat Hari Raya ::

I feel victorious this Syawal as Alhamudullilah, I manage to complete a whole month of fasting. I mean, it's been a while since I fast for a whole month and that is before puberty.

It was not a difficult Ramadhan nor was it an easy one as I was constantly bothered by heartburn and there were times I just wanna break my fast. I perservered and I am now savouring the fruits of my hard labour.

There was very little preparation for Syawal. Just the normal kuihs. I made 5 types of kuihs, bought two types and an additional 2 types of cakes. 'Aqiil's and Ayie's baju kurung were courtesy of Mom and if Ain had not bought me a top, I wouldnt have any new gear for Hari Raya.



Us in green. For more pics, please proceed to Facebook.

Baby have been very active. I feel guilty at times as I dont blog as much about this pregnancy as compared to 'Aqiil's. I am drained by the end of the day and there isn't much energy left once I reach home to on the laptop and blog. I just want to lay on the sofa and watch some TV before retiring for the day.

Tomorrow would be another day of checkup. Insyallah, everything will go smoothly. Ain will be accompanying me as Ayie will be on course. I shall make it a point to post a scan pic of him tomorrow. We have yet to decide on a name. I wanted this name and Ayie doesnt want it. So I believe this would definitely be a last minute decision.

'Aqiil is getting naughtier. He was so well behaved until recently I find that he gets mischievious. I love seeing his shocked face when we catch him doing something wrong red handed. We seriously wouldnt know whether we should scold him or just laugh.

Although he gets naughtier, he is still within control. He still do lepak around with me and I get to sleep for 3 hrs in peace yesterday coz he just lie down to watch cartoon or play on his own during that time. He must have felt that Ibu is really tired and she need the rest. And the affection that he shows, I can melt. He is a lil darling.

The KL trip which I was supposed to blog about was exciting. But I doubt I will be blogging any time soon about it. Why not we just post some pictures then since I dont think the post will be coming up.



Ayie had to get one taken with 'Aqiil. How many times can he do it with the son. So even if it RM10, why not.



We all took pictures with the python..

The snakeman told 'aqiil to touch the snake, and 'Aqiil happily grab its mouth. Wakakka. He showed no fear. Either he is brave or he is still too young to understand what fear is.

Oh too much diversion, we are supposed to talk about Raya here.

We made a videoclip. Woohoo. It was so fun watching it lah. The cousins Hari Raya videoclip. Some got left out as they were not around so perhaps, we might just make another one.

And we siblings might wanna make one for ourselves. We even have plans for next year lah. kekekeke. We have a very talented producer cum editor and by net year, we have an additional actor.

So till my scan pic, which I shall try my best to post asap. I wanna wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir dan Batin..

:: Quick Update ::

I have 10 minutes to blog and after that I am off home. Today the time seems tobe crawling. Maybe it's because I'm in since 8.30am and without lunch and breaks, the time seems to be passing even slower.

I have so many pics to share but I am so lazy to upload them. All I can think of is choc chip cookies, cornflakes crunchies, sugi, in short all the raya goodies lah.. Oh and KFC porridge and Prima Deli Chocolate Dome. I think when you fast, you just feel like eating everything.

Anyway, Alhamdullilah, I have been fasting for 9 days. It was not easy the first two days but it gets better after that. The heartburn was the main concern. As your pregnancy progress, the heartburn just wanna pursue even more. I aim to fast for one month but I still have to see if I am capable if doing so. I shall not push myself too much but if things is gonna remain this way, I think, I can do it. Go Go Go..

Just the other day, Ayie bought lots of food from Larkin Stadium. Ayie, cannot be left alone..

Oh I have to go. Noren just called me.. Adios.. Kita continue another day..

:: The much hated migraine ::

Of all days that the migraine can struck me, it chose the day I'm on leave. I can feel the pain the moment I woke up. Lingering on my right head. Though the pain is not overwhelming, it's kinda nagging at mr. Constantly reminding me of it's presence. 4 panadols and 6 hrs later, it still refuse to leave.

Despite all that, I tried to endure and spend time with 'aqiil. We sang, dance watch cartoon and at times I felt asleep and he would wake me up with his kisses. We ate lunch together and I had to clean up the mess that he made. And to think I didn't even complain. I always tell myself it's part of learning. Now he is in his cot. Refusing to sleep. Jumping and laughing and occassionally ticking my feet. He's a cheeky boy.

The joy of having him is indescribeable.

:: I hope it stays ::

I am blogging from my office lappy. How nice.. Can it remain this way please then I can update my blog regularly just like last time. The good old days.. Where I can read back and reflect on the past and smile..

Anyway, I am currently 22/23 weeks pregnant. I am seriously not sure if I count correctly coz I am really confuse. My tummy is definitely getting huge and going out is a chore coz I do not know what to wear. Baby is happily doing somersaults and I can feel the bubbles in me. Not much like an obvious kick though at times I think it's present.

Anyway, I am feeling the fatigue from this pregnancy with the aches and pains here and there. Tired most of the time since the first pregnancy, I only handle myself but this time round, I have to do all the daily stuffs as well as care for 'Aqiil. I am sincerely appreciative that Ayie took over all the laundry stuffs and the mopping and cleaning. How nice is my husband?? Very nice indeed.

'Aqiil is getting bigger and smarter but still scrawny. He is not much of an eater and I think he takes on his Ayah since Ayah was also a skinny boy. I was also skinny when I was young but I don't know what happen now. Gone haywire I guess.. Lol.



The latest pic of 'Aqiil. My boy is 22 months old this coming 10 August. Time really flies.. His jendul is an exact replica of me.. Yahooo



Look at him when he is still a baby... So chubby. I think he himself would have difficulty recognising himself..

He like balls and cars. He would get Ayie to play ball with him whenever Ayie is around. Chase him and he will laugh out loud. He is also beginning to form short sentences. The other day I farted. So sorry to share this and he said, bu.. eeee.. Busok.. He close his nose. I was laughing non stop. I even stick my tongue out at him one day and went bluek. He point at me and said, bu.. no no.. bluek.. lol...

He is such a joy. I miss him everytime I leave for work. Looking at his face when he sleeps gives me a sense of peace. I am not sure how he will react when baby's out. I hope he kiss him as much as he kisses my tummy now..

And I hope he helps out with the household chores just like now..



He mops..



Wipe the cabinets



Vacuums..



Even wipes my mom's floor..

See he is such a handly little helper.. And I am proud to say that he will take off his sandals the moment we reach home and keep at the designated place. He even ask his Ayah to keep his slippers in the shoe cabinet. Now the son is teaching the Ayah.

He imitates whatever we do... I think it is all part of learning..



He even imitate me vomitting. And now, whenever he is at the toilet bowl, he will bend down and action vomit.. Complete with sound effects..

How can I not be entertained.. So yep, I wanna go home now. It's gonna be a long train ride and I might be spending the time in there sleeping.. So till we meet again and if the system allows me to log on to blogger, that would be very soon..

Nowadays my heartburn are getting intense. I'm now at 16 weeks and 3 days. I'm almost at the half mark.

Anyway, today marks the fifth year Ayie and me are together. Alhamdullilah, I've never regretted any moments with him. Of coz we do quarrel once in a while and things are not always rosy but we had like only 3 major quarrels in these five years. Major also like one day affair and we are all good. I've always believe that we should never bring our problems to bed. We should give each other time and cool down and resolve things before bedtime. I wouldn't wanna sleep with a fuming man beside me.

I've been cooking a lot too and I think I'm getting better. From simple soups to main dishes. Ayie said he is very proud of me that I'm never lazy to try an learn new stuffs.

Next week shall b swimming. Ayie was the one who suggest and i was thinking of bringing 'aqiil's super soaker. We sure gonna have some fun and hopefully the weather cooperates.

I'm also going thru a huge dilemma. There have been some uncertainties that needs sorting out. I really hope Ayie and I could work things out and get the best solution to what we are facing.

World cup fever has hit the world and my house is not spared. Ayie watch the earlier game, get a short nap and the alarm rings at 2+ in the morning or the next game. I still remember how we watch the finals four years ago in the wee hours and got real soaked when we make our way back from JB.

The world cup robix that they showed on the news looks interesting. And there is also this night cycling activity night rider or something where you go cycling with your children. I think i would wanna do that one day with 'aqiil.

So enough said for today, uploading via Iphone doesn't allow photos. How sad. Go to my facebook ya. Tons of photos there.

Good night all.

:: peace ::

I was awake at about 5am the other day and 'aqiil was sleeping bet us. I look at his face and felt so peaceful. It's great being a baby. Or should I say, kids. You have no adult worries. The worries only comes when they start schooling. But it's nothing compared to what we adults face.

I think sometimes we are too worried and obsessed with what is going on around us that we forget to appreciate the people close to us. We are too busy pleasing strangers and friends that we end up hurting our loved ones. We are busy remembering the thing that we need to do for others that we forget to live our own lives.

The 5 weeks MC would definitely affect my appraisal and to be frank, I'm least bothered by it. I get to spend so much time with 'aqiil. His antics just never fail to make me smile. Even if it means hours and hours of Disney playhouse.

Well I guess, it's time to sit back and reflect. I remembered a saying by I forget who which shakira said. "aim for the sky but always keep you feet on the ground ".

:: see I'm back ::

Yay, I've been hardworking. Oh I've been an emotional nutcase this days. Every small lil thing makes me wanna cry. I was watching mama pakai celana on Syria just now and the ending made me cry. 'aqiil seeing me all teary-eyed came over, said bu and gave me a hug. He's such an angel.

Anyway puking is like every now and then. Absolutely no appetite unless there's something I wanna eat so bad. But every time I puked, I thank Allah cause I know I'm still pregnant. This pregnancy have been very uncertain. I told Ayie bout How I'm worried that I might just be not pregnant one day. And he told me to doa byk byk and solat. Solat is one that I always take lightly.not very proud of it. I'm tell myself I have to change. For the better. I'm not getting any younger and a jc boy who calls me Cik in the bus just now gave me a reality check. Slap on my face. Lol.

Ayie said my tummy looks smaller, I weight myself and I'm two kg lighter. Huh first trimester. Wait till the next one come. Okie need to cook maggi for the two hungry us. Adioz

:: Thou shall not be lazy ::

And so I sacrifice my sleep to be fair. I just hope that when 'Aqiil wakes up, I feel so zombified, I sleep and he plays alone..

So let's share baby's photo. Actually, it's more of a foetus instead of baby.

The first one was taken on the 26 April 2010.



Here, we can just see the shape of the baby.. Nothing much visible.



The second one taken on the 5 May 2010, we can see baby there... The hands are out and baby looks like he/she is sucking his/her thumb.

I was happy when I saw this pic coz it reminds me of 'Aqiil. 'Aqiil was also around when we took this scan.

DOnt ask me why the pics are at the wrong orientation. I think blogger has gone bonkers..

And yesterday, we had Kak LInda's birthday party. It was a surprise party planned by Abg Iman and Kak LIs. It was really hilarious looking at her reaction. I was laughing and laughing. Her friends, neighbours, elder cousins and parents were there to celebrate her birthday.

I was there like at 4.30pm since Nizam said that he will be there at that time and he only came like at 6+. Thanks eh..



Kak waty, me and 'Aqiil.



With Farid and Kak wati..



The whole gang..NOt really the whole gang since Ayie was not around when we took this picture..

It was kinda late that we went back. First to come and last to go home. Macam orang rewang. Abg iman drove us back in a car filled with balloons. First time I had such a fun ride..

Today will just be a laze around day. I have no mood to do anything and I think right after this, I will just nap. The weather is so warm and I wish it could rain. I love the smell of rain. Fresh and relaxing..

Ironman with the cousins will be tomorrow. Tickets are all booked.

Well enough said. Should I have enough ingredients right now, I might be baking but well too bad..

Happy mother's day to all..

:: MIA ::

I know that I have been missing in action for a long long time. Ever since I got transferred to HQ,no access to blogger or Multiply, no more blogging. Coz by the time I reach home, I am too tired to on my laptop. Moreover as I moved to my new place, I have more freedom and I just wanna spend whatever time I have for my lovely 'Aqiil.

Nevertheless, as most of you have heard on facebook, I am currently 9 weeks pregnant. It was unplanned and definitely a huge surprise. I serious thought I cannot be pregnant and I went for exercise the whole two weeks before I found out and I even ran. I was like super on and after much persuasion from my friends at work, I took the test.

Alhamdullilah, yes I am.. So today I went for my first checkup at KKH. And darling baby was nicely embedded in my tummy.
Okie from this part onwards, I actually continue on 6 may 2010. See how lazy I am. I just can't be bothered to on my lappie.

Where did u stop? Oh baby. Yeah baby is in my tummy already. I had spotting and I was given 1 week mc. To bedrest but having an active toddler, bed rest is close to impossible. The first two
nights 'aqiil was at parent's place then I brought him back and it's as per normal. 'aqiil is also more clingy.

Yesterday was my checkup again. Doc confirmed i have infection and the germ might cause miscarriage in some cases. So I was given 2 weeks mc. I told him can I not take it since I have tons of things to do. He said no, I'm not taking the risk.

So today and tomorrow I'll be at work. Kak mid is definitely unhappy. I know that she's concern and that she cares. I am lucky to have such a friend. So I promise her, I'll be at work half day only.

Baby was sucking his thumb when we scanned yesterday. Just like my darling 'aqiil. At 10 weeks I can see baby's arms and body. The legs is yet to be visible. It was also special yesterday that 'aqiil was there. Seeing how caring and friendly he is, definitely would make him a wonderful brother.

Ayie have been great as always and alhamdullilah he shared with me another great news. I was excited. He helps more in the house now. When I was on mc last week, he bought me meals.

I seriously do not mind a boy or a gal coz I know, whatever gender 'aqiil would enjoy the company.

My gynar dr wee have been very nice too. I am very comfortable with him at the very first check up and although Ayie was not into the idea of KK, he changed his mind after meeting dr wee.

This pregnancy have been different for me. While i have no heartburn and motion sickness, I have morning sickness and I'm on mc for such a long time. Incontinence was at the max. I pee in my pants at every sneeze, vomit or cough.

I wouldn't complain since I am thankful that even tho this pregnancy was unexpected, I feel blessed. With Every child Allah will bestow us with good things.

As for now, I just hope 'aqiil will recover from his cough real soon. I hope to update more as I blog so much during 'aqiil so I have to be really fair.

So good night everyone, hang on, weekend is just a day away.

:: I've been Lazy ::

Oh no.,.. my last post was on the 11 December 2009. That was almost 2 months ago.. It was on Su's birthday.. Well Well..

I seriously feel like chucking my blog aside and just rely on facebook but facebook are mostly photos and no words so I don't get to express how I felt..

I think I can contribute to me not updating my blog due to inaccessibility.. I no longer have access to blogger or Multiply from office which makes it difficult.. Even if I do have access, I am now too busy at work. It's really crazy... Sometimes I think it is so much easier to be a housewife.. No mental stress and emotional stress that you get at work.. You can sleep at night without worrying about the phone ringing any time... I get jolted out of whatever I am doing when my phone rings.. And Ayie will go, you kene keje??

But on the downside, I don't get a lot of money if I don't work.. I won't be able to save and also buy things that I want or need.. So I guess the emotional and what nots will be there to stay... I think being a housewife can also drive me crazy.. I need some challenge...

'Aqiil is growing up real good.. That little boy really lights up my life... The things that he does puts a smile on my face... I have this feel good feeling whenever I am with him... Oh and he stated walking already.. one week after he turns 15 months old.. So it has been almost a month since he walked..

This is like the first video I took when he started walking.. This boy is a dancer.. The moment he hears music, he will bop his head up and down.. And he will baby talk sings... I think his got his talent from Ayie since I am hopeless at singing..

Then there is this other video of him, jumping around.. I don't know what made him jump that way but I find it real funny..

And there is another video of him, going for a ride.. Please forgive my voice.. Ayie wanted to knock me down..

We are gonna do this again and maybe we might even go further.. Maybe to Kak Linda'a Place..

I love this photo of 'Aqiil and Ayie taken on New year Eve at Kak Linda's place.. We had this so called impromtu countdown which end up being so fun..

And also this pic with my grandma...



He adores my grandma.. He will lovingly call her Oyang and showers her with kisses and even wants her to carry him which of coz is impossible though my nenek sometimes oblige since she adores him just as much..



My boy all grown all... Can you be a baby darling.??

And my sis got engaged on the 29 January 2010. I got engaged on 28 January 2007. See exactly three years and 1 day.. She will get hitched in Nov, Insyallah..



Isn't she gorgeous..

The whole gang sans Hafiz who was in camp.. We need to photoshop him in.. lol..

'Aqiil was like bapak pengantin. Dierlah paling sibok..

And I am a better cook.. Seriously.. Ever since the kitchen is up.. I have been trying my hand and cooking different dishes and I got them right finally after several trials and error..So now I can cook lemak cili padi, asam pedas, sambal tumis, curry and soups and noodles...

I whip up all this dishes...

Fried tumeric squid, sweet sour fish, cereal prawns, black pepper beef, Baby kailan with oyster sauce, quail eggs and fried egg tofu soup and chicken rice..

Specially for this three beautiful people in my life... Celebrating our 20 and 16 years of friendship. I know Lihua first at Primary Three when I transferred to Si Ling Primary.. Then Ezzam was also in the same school but we wasn't close.. Hasinah was in Qihua Primary which was my ex primary school but come Secondary School, despite being in different classes, we stayed close friends till today..

I even tried baking bread...

The recipe said 1 tbs of salt and the bread turns out salty. It's a jewish bread which they make during religous ceremony so perhaps that explains why... Anyway, I bought wholemeal flour and bread flour so I can make more breads.. The kitchenaid helps.. I just dump, follow instructions, prove and knead... Voila.. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside..

I made Orea cheesecake for Lyn, Kak Mid and Noren and a colleague who tried Lyn's share gave rave reviews.. He was promoting my cheesecake to the other colleagues and even wanted me to sell him some.. Oh I am flattered..

Wow..I actually blabbered quite a bit here.. So hopefully my hardworking bug will come real soon and I will update more..

Tomorrow night I will be on 12 hours shift... Oh 12hrs is like peanuts since I clocked 28hrs of work.. Straight work.. No sleep.. I was almost zombified..

To all my Chinese friends.. Gong Xi Fa Cai..
