:: Where oh where ::

Oh where oh where have I been.. I am like super lazy now.. Really but I do upload pictures to my Multiply account...

Anyway for my die hard fans.. (Chet macam real.. ), It have been a wonderful weekends... The weekends of many first..

Okie this is going to be long and you have been warned..

So it started with 'Aqiil first trip to the swimming pool on the 12 March 2009. I took off and Ayie took leave to kick off our family holiday.. The boy was so excited when we went out.. He kinda know now when we are going out.. He will watch us wherever we go and the moment we get dress, he's all smiles and laughs..



But the moment he reach there, he was asleep..



The sleepy boy

It was noisy but this boy of mine can still sleep. No wonder Ain call him unta padang pasir..

But once he is awake, we jump into the pool.. I was scared he might cry but alhamdullilah.. He loves water... He was moving his legs.. Looking around.. He didn't have a problem with water and have always love his bath time.. So my worries were unfounded..



The stoned 'Aqiil...



Me fussing over 'aqiil



Our family potrait...

After swimming, we went to Causeway for Seoul Garden while our boy continue sleeping..

Then 13 March 20069, we were out at 6.15am, drop MIL at her sis house in JB and we embark in our journey to KL with Ayie's riding friends. Only this time, everybody were driving. So total of 5 cars all packed with family and two bikes.. Dorang solo..

'Aqiil was well behaved.. he slept when we are in the car and only woke up when we take a beak.. So Alhamdullilah.. A well behaved boy gets to go on a holiday again.. Kalau tak kene tinggal.. Dok ngan nenek...



Us at the first stop.. I donno what jejatas lah..



Ayie outside KLCC fountain



And me...

It was free and easy that day. We went to see Ayie's Cousin and family who is staying in KL. Met up with them at KLCC. After they left we went around window shopping... Since we were surrounded by Pradas, Guccis and LVs, we didn't shop... I got Ayie to remind me what I wanted and I forgo that lovely bag... I have to stay focus.. There's always another day..



Back to the Apartment.. It was nice and cosy..

Second day in KL, it was Sunway lagoon... As always the boy was sleeping.. Luckily this time round only for a short while..



Outside Sunway...



We only went on two rides.. The teapot and 360 degrees viking......



Can you see the bear malas nak layan face...



Us ladies.. Eh mana Norsiah..

Got him dressed up and off we are to the pool.. Initially we were in the shallow end but move deeper and deeper till he is at the 1.6m mark.. Yelah Ibu dier pon nak swimming. And he was the only infant in the wave pool.. The bobbing waves moves him in the water while he squint his eyes as the sun shine on him.. Lucky got waterproof camera.. Boleh snap snap here and there..



Acam gua dah ready.. Where's the sun man??



And unta will always be unta.. He slept in the pool.. I left him on his own bobbing in the water and he still slept.. Even when ppl were laughing and pointing at him, he slept.. after we carried him back to the shade, he slept and we put him in his pram he continued sleeping... So nie ikot sapa nie.. Kalau nak tido.. Mana mana pon leh tido...

There was a surfing session so the pool was closed..







Us splashing water on 'Aqiil's face...




I wanna have more splashing fun..

Ayah teaching me how to climb a tree.. He is really following the Malay saying.. Kalau nak melentur buluh biar dari rebung...

Nie budak budak and mak bapak budak waiting for the waves..



The adults were so excited by the waves compared to the kids lor.. I love the baby wave pool.. Lagu RnB lah.. Macam kat club.. The waves at the baby wave pool seems to be stronger lah..



While waiting for the transport back to the hotel we took a group photos... The poor gal had to balance so many cameeras on her arm..

By the time we are done with swimming, it was almost closing time and the clouds have turned dark.. It was raining very heavily..





This was back at the hotel.. After this photos, 'Aqiil surrender. He knocked out.. From 6.30pm all the way to 8.30am...

So Petaling Street was cancelled. We had dinner in the apartment. Ayie tapau Nasi Goreng Kampong, Baby Kailan Oyster Sauce and Tom Yam and it was RM31. The fried rice is RM8 per packet.. And it taste so so only.. Chet... So expensive..

We caught the Man U game where Man U lost to the delights of two Arsena fans in the house.. Bingit..............

Then Sunday we left after breakfast.. We left earlier since we have a wedding to catch.. Fetch Ayie's mum and sis at Muar and then we rush back to SG in the rain.. Caught in the jam. I was so worried that I might miss Bal's wedding. When we cleared the jam, it was already 4.30pm, drop Ayie's mum and sis and fetch Ina and bebe... We made it..




I am so happy lor for bal and Haz.. Saw Zul at the wedding. I think is Zul Adik ah.. I cannot diffrentiate them oredi lah..



We also wanna take picture with them..

So after the fun overseas, Kak Linda and I decide to meet up in SG. Singapore as well as Seoul Garden. A lunch date between us finally saw more coming along. I ask Ain along since she's not flying and Nizam joined as he was on MC then Ayie came in the evening after work and Abg Iman came over to see Ayie's new ride..



The whole gang at Seoul Garden...



'Aqiil and Uncle Nizam with the cap and hat that Aunty Linda bought...



After we were done at Seoul Garden, we continue at Mac...

Then We went down to the basement.. To see Ayie new bike.. We spend almost an hour I think down there...



The madame of the bikes..

'Aqiil on Ayah new bike..



Being the narcicistic lot, we just enjoy photo taking.. It's in our blood..

They are now riding the same bike and they can't stop talking about their bikes.. Me?? I love the new bike but I miss the old one.. Well we can't have both kan..

So that day was such a great day spent with my cousins and if that is not enough, we met the next evening. Not me lah, the rest of them.. For some Hero guitar and Wii session. I was jealous and swearing in my heart to all the stupid mangkoks that cause me to miss the session. But nevertheless, I joined them at 12.30am. Dah nak abis baru aku sampai.. So there was Izzul, Ijat, Ain, Zaki, Ayie. Kak Linda, Nizam, Abg Iman and me... We would like this to be a monthly event.. But this is strictly for 18 and above.. Sowie hor... Kekeke.. We need some adult fun..

So now that Ayie got his wish, 'Aqiil had some real adventure, we are left with our biggest dream so far. To date that is.. So Insyallah I doa that will come true real soon..

:: Another step closer ::

Yay, we are a bit more closer to our impian.. Anyway, 'Aqiil is asleep. He slept at 6.45pm till 9.10pm, drank milk and off to la la land again.. Kesian, must be tired..

Well there won't be any pics since my bangla phone has got no camera while my camera low batt. The charger with Ain. I won't be getting a new phone since I am saving money.Oh Su have a pixon.. Stylo milo ah gal.. For the sake of saving money, I shall control my spending.

Maybe I shall go to Mustapha to get a cheap cheap phone since my Bangla phone also a bit zeng..

Anyway, I got a late payment charge from Maybank. I didn't know I have $2.19 outstanding and I got a late charge of $35. wah lao.. This is like donno how many times the amount I owe them lor.. I am gonna call them to waive it coz it is really genuine that I forget.

'Aqiil just cried. He ngigau.. After some pat pat he's back to lala land..

Met up with Ina and Yati... Let's not get into the details of our meeting. I always doakan they are doing fine and Allah would bless them..

6 March is a date with my darlings.. Boy I miss them.. And weekends we are out with Su.

It is nice that Ayie takes care of "Aqiil when I am out with friends and I do the same when he wanna go out.. Take turn..

To Nurul.. Macih eh tadik hantar kiter balik.. Kiter sayang awak.. kekeke..

Okie I am off to do other stuffs. Bye

:: Seeing Double ::

The weekends is all about seeing double..

Started Saturday with Mazaliah wedding.. She is one cool bride... First she sms us about the change in her sanding timing then while waiting for Sinah to finish her food, I got another sms from her asking where I am. She is at the dais.. See.. I don't remember doing all that during my wedding since I was like in a daze during my wedding..

Now the double begins..

After Mazaliah wedding, we were off to Ayie cousin twins birthday.. Shukri and Shukriyah turns one. They are so adorable with big eyes and curled eyelashes..



The parents and the king and queen for the day..

So after that, a quick wash up for me and 'Aqiil and we are off to help my mom at Yani's wedding. Yani has two younger sisters who are twins and one of them have twin boys.. See See twins again..

Okie Yani look so happy on that day. Sapa tak happy kan time kawin.. But can really see her happiness.. It was such a nice wedding and I did not have any camera. My bangla phone cannot take pics..

So after two days of weddings, Mon was 'Aqiil four months jab.. My boy cried a bit and then continued with his sleep.

He had grown quite a bit. Last month he was 65cm and now he is 68cm. Nurse said that is in the 97th percentile and he is gonna be tall.. Put on 400g making him 7.4kg and his head is 40cm. Both weight and head circumference falls in the 75th and 50th percentile respectively. The pharmacist at poly recommend that I use Sebamed baby lotion for his eczema and it works. Can see the difference after one application.

Ayie and I had lunch at Teh tarik while 'Aqiil continued with his nap..

He woke up cranky, noise and angry..




Can anybody tell that I am not happy..



No??? Let me kick this arch to get my point across..



Doesn't work.. I wish I can talk..

We were suppose to walk home but the weather and 'Aqiil crankiness is definitely not in favour. The afternoon showers were definitely a welcome.. It definitely takes off the heat at night..

Oh 'Aqiil obsession...

The Thumb..




Day



and Night..



And to everybody.. Despite the recession, I am going to raise my head up high and face it..

Yeay rite.. What do you babies know??



Drink milk.. Laugh, cry and sleep.. No??

Okie then that night while cooking maggi to relieve my night hunger pangs, I got an egg with double yolk. Ayie also got that in the afternoon..

And just now, I had lunch with my colleague who have twin daughters..

Oh my collleague said that it might be a sign that I might conceive twins.. Insyallah but quite impossible since we are not genetically blessed...



So 'Aqiil say goodbye.. Ibu needs to sleep now. In my HQ. I am on night duty.. With enough rest, I have all the energy for a trip to JB tomorrow. Right Ain..

:: Feeling Flab ::

Oh I shall proudly say that last Wednesday, I finally drag my big, fat, flat, heavy and lazy butt to the gym. Dragged becaused I did not go willingly. I almost siam.. I wanted to use the rain as an excuse. I even told myself I deserve a new Esprit umbrella just to bring me from Causeway Point to Civic Centre. But I of course did not buy the umbrella and I did go Amore-ing. An hour and 250 calories lesser, I feel so fine. Oh I am so happy. And now I super semangat lor.. So today I am going again. Ayie will fetch 'Aqiil so I can take my own sweet time.

Okie next thing is, 'Aqiil is getting slimmer. Really, I did not notice till Zaki told me and then I realise, my son is slimmer and longer. I think he put on minimal weight but increase in length...

'Aqiil is not only making Ayie and Me happy but also the rest of the people in our lives. He can now laugh loudly whenever we tickle him. No matter how tired I am, his laughter just soothe me.. Oh something about the thumb, his thumb is like his constant companion. Anybody can advise whether I should stop him. I tried but he will laugh and put it back in. If I should stop him, ideas on how I can do so..

Tomorrow is V day. Despite the economic crisis, V day is definitely well received. I am not celebrating. Stopped celebrating since I gf bf with Ayie. First it is haram and second I think it is a waste of money. We suppose to buy stuff when they are on sale not when they are like super duper expensive lor.. Moreover with me and Ayie working hard on our impian, we wanna save as much as we can..

Okie, I am thinking of changing 'Aqiil milk from Mamex to Similac. Anybody is using Similac? Can advise?

Okie I have something on now so I shall go back to work.

:: Impianku ::

Oh I started jogging yesterday and now my legs are aching.. The sense of accomplishment.... It feels good.. Though it was a slow one.. The main thing is I have to sweat..

Anyway, the impian is not pasal baby gal lah.. That could be my dream for another time and day.. Well, for this impian, insyallah it goes well. I worked very hard for it. Lots of reading and asking around..

Apa impianku?? Well we shall wait till it becomes a kenyataan..

:: Teething or Not?? ::

'Aqiil is drooling and putting everything in his mouth. The blanket, towel, everything lah.. I, being the kiasu mom, went to the net and found out that he might be preparing for his tooth.. So again, the kiasu mother and nanny (my mom wants him to call her that) decide, a teether would be good..



He was happily biting and sucking the cool teether when I gave it to him...




And then he decides that teether not enough, he gets his hands into his mouth..



And he was even caught with his pants down..

Oh we had a picnic on the second day of Chinese New Year.. I am too lazy to get the cam and upload the pic.. So that will have to wait for another day..Looking at the fat me in the pic nearly cause me to slip into a coma.. That bad..

Anyway, we went to Causeway Point to get my MIL a blender. Hers was spoilt so while shopping for the blender, we also drop by a few other shops..



'Aqiil love it when I put him in here.. It was on display in Metro and he was laughing away happily..No darling, I am not buying you any..



And I love this towel at AUssino.. Insyallah if it is still around when 'Aqiil is a bit older, I would buy it for him..

After the shopping session, we head down to SAkura for dinner.. And yes, I was just talking about being fat and I was at Sakura pigging out.. Tsk Tsk Tsk..

At 16 weeks, 'Aqiil is very active already.. It is so much fun playing and interacting with him.. He can laugh out loud.. And people were telling me about the price of motherhood... Well there is no price for motherhood cause is is simply priceless.. I am sure there are many mothers who are enjoying their motherhood as much as I do.. Lugging pampers and bottles and milk powder and what not is not going to stop me from bringing him out. I seriously don't mind the hassle..

Shopping at JB on Thus with mom and Ain and 'Aqiil was fun.. I bought five baby clothes and none of them is for 'Aqiil.. All girl's clothes.. And they were so cute..

Insyallah, this year, one of my dreams might just come true... I am seriously praying hard..

Okie I shall go back to watching Arsenal lousy game.. Kkekkeke

:: Many Updates and a slow PC ::

When was the last time I update?? I think many weeks ago.. Eversince I get back to work, I have been so tired. Travelling to and fro everyday really took a toll on me. It's 10 mins walk but now instead of getting yourself ready, you have a Mr Botak to prepare too.. Haha, the price of motherhood. But looking at Mr Botak melts my heart and take away the fatique momentarily. When he is outta sight, the pain and aches come back..

Oh and I have been very busy with fieldwork and the numerous escort duties. And I have been under the weather which made me skip work today. I no longer cough, more like I bark. Lol.. So Ayie said, I should stay at home and rest.

Oh I have like one more month of maternity to clear. All need to be done before 9 April. Luckily Kak Mid told me it's within 6 months.If not, there goes all my leave.

So what have MR Botak been up to. Well after the Aqiqah ceremony, he have been to weddings, birthday parties and also many outings with Ibu and Ayah. Member dah ader passport. So last Friday and Sunday, the three of us terlepas kandang. We had Bean's car and so we go JB lah..

So no more talking, Let's look at his pics..

We shall start from Aqiqah which was conducted at Masjid Pertempatan Sembawang.



That's us... Me, Su and 'Aqiil



Ayah, who was busy sembelih-ing the kambings.




That two fat kambings belongs to 'Aqiil..




Can you see his name on the kambing leg...




'Aqiil with Ummi..

Then we had a wedding and a party on the 21 December. It doesn't help that the wedding is in Clementi and the party in Pasir Ris.

We went semi public..

Since the theme was EPL, I wasted no chance in gearing him up in Full Man U gear. Ayah protest but he was also dressing him up excitedly. Wakakka..

How??Nice... Zaki bought this in Manchester.. I so lioke..



The Man U fans



Zaki and Normala looks ravishing...

Then we got a ride from Ayie's colleague to Tampines Mall. Intention was to shop for the birthday boy but we ended up shopping for 'Aqiil. What's new kan...



The Birthday Cake



The birthday Boy, Anaqi

And



The sleepyhead... He slept through the party. Even the sound of bursting balloons fail to wake him up.

After that, we went home and deposit 'Aqiil at parent's place.

We went to Batam the next day..

We woke up super duper early as we need to be at Harbourfront by 8am....

By 9.30am Batam time, we reach Batam..



Us on the shuttle van to KTM resort...



We explore our super small but cosy room..



Ayie did the jump... I wanna do it too..



This is the third take.. Then it looked okie.. Wakakaka.. Useless me..




Enjoying a magnum before we left for Singapore..

Anyway.. My Mr Botak is tall and round now.. We went for his checkup last friday and he is now 65cm tall and 7kg. The nurse say he is tall.. He can do what three months old baby can.. Alhamdullilah but he has slight eczema.. So no oil for him..

Now his pics.. Enjoy..

Taken on the 8 December 2008. He going to two months old.

But Ayah and Ibu wanna see him as a newborn.. So they wrap him up..



Taken on the 30 December 2008. 'Aqiil loves to be naked.. The moment you open his clothes and his diapers.. He's all smiles..

Taken on Christmas.. Lifting head is not an easy task for us babies.. Get that oldies..

This is taken on his third month..

He wanna play peek-a-boo..



You don't see me...



Now a bit more..



And the whole botak me.. Kekeke.. Then he is all quiet. When I turn around.. Member sucking the bedsheet lah.. It was soaked..

And finally last Sunday on our way back to JB. Stuck in the jam..



Did you realise that I actually cut my hair short..

Here is a better picture..



Of my hair.. I look so pale and sick..

Anyway this email was half written yesterday... My laptop is so slow that I decide to finish it today.

I went to the doctor last night and I have bronchitis which is dry cough I think and I am to stay away from all fried food and cold drinks..

I won't be able to blog that much since we no longer have access to the multiply or any blog related site at work..

So tillI see you again with a long long entry.
