My Baby Blues

2011-04-24T17:56:00.000-07:00

Salam people!

It has been months since my last update. I've been a lazy blogger indeed. But something happened last month and I think I need an outlet to let it all out. Yet I still hesitate....nanti ada orang kata I'm being a drama queen Mom pula...

Insya-Allah one fine day, I'll try to put down what my family and I have gone through in words....and I hope what I'll be sharing with could be something that I can finally accept and redha atas ujian Allah......

Insya-Allah....

And yes it's Monday....and it's normal to feel blue! *winks*

So Lazy!

2010-10-28T21:43:00.000-07:00

that's not the real excuse...but it's quite the truth....bila ada idea nak tulis ja mesti ada je yang pops up....but I'm trying to update this as rajin as possible ya...hehehe!

And yes I'm still adjusting to a new life as a mom of 3. Working on my photos on one side and pumping on another are on my schedules nowadays...it's a hectic one but I'm loving it so far...:)

Anyway baby Mia is already reaching her 2nd mth 3rd week mark...so cepat one kan....and right now she just loves to blow raspberries....and I'm losing hair over it....agaknya bila la nak habis menyembur ni kan.....tak tahan tgk rambut sana sini sampaikan rasa mcm nak potong ja...!

Oh ya, baru perasan kat blog ni takde pun gambar mia kan...

And here she is,

Lil Miss Specky

2010-08-03T10:54:00.000-07:00

Teringat pula dulu pun masa umur 8 tahun mcm Alia ni, mama dah start kena pakai spek...tak sangka ada juga yg ikut mama yeh....tapi tak aci la spek alia sangat cantik kalau nak dibandingkan dengan spek mama yg dulu-dulu tu...dengan frame besar, dah tu kaler merah pulak tu....sebijik rasa mcm Ugly Betty! hehehe! Nanti mama balik cari gambar lama bagi Alia tengok k.....;)

36 weeks and counting...it's any day now!

I've been neglecting this blog for quite a while!

I totally took the blame for that, penat menghabiskan kerja editing sebelum baby A pops out...and I'm at my wit's end already!

Tapi kata my hubby it's all excuses jek tu..sebenarnya nak menutup rasa panic nak bersalin dan menghadapi what's coming next...hehehe! how true! to tell you guys the truth, all the baby clothes are still in the boxes....and there are still few things yang tak complete lagi...am i taking it easy this time? nope...more likely i'm panicking!

Bukannya tak biasa bersalin kan...tapi cuma rasa macam dah ages ago pegang baby yang kecil mungil...bunyik mcm ngada-ngada je kan....;)

But I'm determined to get this done by this week juga...nnt ada yang baru nak basuh baju baby sementara nak tunggu masuk ward ni...hehehe!

Apapun doakan yang terbaik for me and my baby A ya...

ops...nama pun tak fikirkan lagi.....any ideas?

Happy Holidays!

2010-06-11T03:40:00.000-07:00

yupp, we're going back to my hometown for the last week of school holiday, the 2As can barely contain their excitement...yeayyyy!! mama lagi la...dah siap list things to do, places to visit and fooood to eat! hehehe.....

Anyway, we'll be away from 13th - 19th June....we'll see you soon!!

Happy holiday, peeps!

You're in the home stretch - two trimesters down, one more to go. Your baby is growing steadily as he prepares for delivery day. He will gain weight rapidly over the next weeks and, as the size of your bump increases, you may feel more breathless and tired. Your baby's acting more like a newborn now, too. He opens and closes his eyes, sleeps and wakes at regular intervals, and may suck a finger or thumb. He may also be hiccuping a lot this week, which explains that odd rhythmic sensation you've probably been feeling.

hmmm no wonder rasa mcm bb tgh dok buat summersault je kt dlm perut sekrg ni....;)

Ohh yes....my tummy is now growing rapidly sekarang nih sampaikan ada yang kata my tummy bulat mcm bola/bantal...cute jek....tp org kata kalau bulat mcm ni girl kan....hehheheh....*winks*...tak kisahlah janji baby sihat kan....

Anyway have a good weekend peeps, as for me today and tomorrow ada wedding...larat ke nak bawak my tummy dengan pegang kamera ni...hehehe! insya-Allah semoga dipermudahkanNya...amin....dan Ahad pulak, it will party time....seronoknya! tak sabar nak jumpa the birthday boys, Ilhan Yusuf + Khalif Danial.....yg pastinya the 2As dah excited nak pi both parties....yeaaaaa......!!!

"Your baby's becoming more sensitive to sound as the network of nerves in her ears develops. If ayah talks to her now, she might learn to recognise his voice. The more she hears it, the more likely she is to find it soothing after she's born. If he feels strange just talking to the baby, he can read the newspaper or a book out loud.

-babycenter.com.my-"

Almost there already, and the sisters are getting excited bila dapat tau kali ni they will get the chance to choose the name for baby A soon. Hmm...hopefully it's not something from Barbie or the Bratz movie...hhehehe!

And it's also time to print out those checklist and buy things! bestnya...only if DH was as excited as me...hehehe! biasalah tu dah 3rd time kan....but it's ok with me..as long as the baby's healthy, and I'm happy and the rest will just be fine...:)

Anyway last weekend sepatutnya pergi ke Baby Expo kt MV tp due to Amelyn yg demam dan mama yg ada kerja terpaksa tukar plan...so after this kena la tunggu kalau-kalau ada baby warehouse sales lagi...in the meantime online shopping will do just fine....mmg fine sangat sampaikan I've bought 3 sets of rompers, receiving blankets, socks...and so many more....hehehe! So sekrg ni budget kena simpan utk bulky stuffs like strollers and playpen pulak...as for diapers, i was thinking about doing CD...hmmm...anyone can share their thoughts on this? would be so much appreciated by me....thanks! :)

Hello Rumaizah!
24 weeks pregnant

Your baby is still on the skinny side with no body fat but his brain is growing rapidly and he's starting to fill the space in your uterus. By now, you probably have a definite "pregnant" shape and the linea nigra, a dark line of pigmentation, may appear down the centre of your abdomen. Your baby's taste buds are also forming and, believe it or not, his sweet tooth. Could that explain your sudden craving for dodol and kuih lapis? No one knows for sure but it's a good excuse, next time you find yourself stalking the kuih lady at the pasar malam.

Yepp, I've finally reached the 24 weeks, and it's time to get to know my lil one better....and in this case his taste bud, suddenly i found myself craving for stuffs i never did use to like before like pomegranate...capati...nasi kerabu....spaghetti marinara...and many more....
But one constant craving throughout all pregnancies is my mum's homemade laksa....and if not, laksa beras asli from kuala perlis will always do the trick...

And thanks to my dear sis. last week out of the blue she brought back laksa beras all the way from kuala perlis. And it was sinfully delicious! Every slurps was worth her hundreds km trip back there and here....thank you dear! jasamu akan sentiasa
dikenang....hehehe!
And as for now, I'm craving for nasi dagang, where to find a really good one ya? *winks*

23 weeks and counting...

2010-04-18T06:43:00.000-07:00

I should be doing this weekly kan....but I'm just being plain lazy...kalau busy takpe tp ni dah jadik lazy bum...hehehe! agaknya semenjak dah asyik sakit2 pinggang kalau duduk mengadap pc lama-lama ni meng"restrict"kan my online time...hehehe! Anyway baby is doing just fine...sekrg ni mmg dah terasa "sidekick" especially during night time....hmmm....is this an early sign of me losing good nite sleep? hehehe! hope not....

Anyway, it's been months since last photos of the 2As kan...so i finally decided to take the 2As to the playground nearby...siap pujuk daddy sekali walaupun tau daddy mmg cukup sibuk for the whole two weeks ni...tapi sekali sekala cuci mata kat taman pun apasalahnya kan...

Here are the two big sis with their matching crowns from MilkyLayna, thanks Sab...the girls love them so much! Memang dah lama nak ambik gambar dgn crown ni tapi tiap petang ja hujan jadi tak sempat nak bawak kedua-duanya pi taman lagipun Alia sekolah petang, by the time dia balik ja dia dah "flat" dah....kesian pulak tu....hujung minggu ni barula dia relaks sikit...

Yang si kecik tu pulak esok ada exam kat sekolah...tapi relaks je...katanya dia dah tau dah apa yg nak keluar....tp yang paling risau paper Mandarin ni...langsung dia takde pun buat ulangkaji....hopefully dapat la dia jawab esok ni...insya-Allah...:)

20 weeks and counting....

2010-03-31T09:10:00.000-07:00

Just went for a check up yesterday....berat badan turun sikit kata Doc, apataknya last mth asyik muntah-muntah je kan...this mth baru la nak recover balik...itupun tak berapa berani nak venture lagi makanan yang macam-macam...still makan yang tak pedas-pedas dan yang banyaknya makan buah-buahan ja...janji baby dan mama suka! hehehe!

Still no sign of the gender..kali ni betul-betul dia menyorok habis dengan kaki tangan block segalanya...takpela dia nak surprisekan mama dgn daddy kot...hehehe! The rest Alhamdulillah, the baby is growing just fine...seronok tengok perkembangan my mysterious lil one ni....hopefully next month takde dah main aci sembunyi dengan mama ya....;)

19 weeks and counting...

2010-03-22T19:57:00.001-07:00

Apa perasaan saya?

Gembira....gementar dan tak sabar nak tunggu kedatangan the lil one! And I'm already halfway through....:)

Alhamdulillah, semenjak kebelakangan ni kesihatan dah makin improve, no more gastric, migraine dan juga mual-mual....thanks so much to my dear x-client turned friend, atie yang introducekan Susu Alpha Lipid. Memang cukup berkesan, setelah 1 minggu minum susu Alpha Lipid ni setiap pagi sekarang ni tenaga pun dah ada balik....at least dapat la selesaikan semua kerja yang tertunggak selama 1 bulan ni.....susu ni bukan untuk ibu mengandung sahaja tau, banyak lagi kebaikan yang ada untuk kita semua....kalau ada yang berminat just let me know ok....:)

Another investment sepanjang pregnancy kali ni termasuklah Belly Belt Kit...memandangkan kali ni my tummy pun lambat lagi nak "pop", terasa mcm malas je nak pakai uniform lagi so memang sesuai sangat beli Belly Belt ni, sementara masih muat jeans lama apasalahnya kan....just sambungkan pada butang jeans and i'm ready to go! ;)

Hmmm...tak sabar rasanya nak start ronda-ronda survey baby...tapi apapun kena tunggu result scan doctor hujung bulan ni....lepas tu baru la boleh shopping! hmm banyak juga nak kena cari ni, almaklumlah barang-barang baby yang dulu semuanya dah donate sana sini....rasanya yg tinggal cuma bengkung je....hehehe! at least ada la alasan untuk shopping kan.....;)

latest gmbr nnt akan kc uploadkan ya....dah 3 minggu tak pegang camera....rindu sangat kat en. nik saya tu.....hehehe! ;)

17 weeks and counting...

2010-03-11T19:53:00.000-08:00

Here's me approaching 18 weeks...nampak macam kecik ja perut kan...apataknya last 2 weeks had been the hardest weeks so far dgn macam-macam dugaan....muntah2 still ada sekali dua lagi dlm sehari, pening kepala pula comes and goes....makanan pun yg boleh telan buat masa ni bubur nasi, capati, roti, biskut dan buah-buahan ja...hmm nmpk gayanya berat badan boleh maintain la mcm ni...hehehe! Tapi tak tau la nnt dah masuk 3rd trimester baru nak pulun balik kot....;)

Hmm yes this is my 3rd pregnancy and i shouldn't be complaining...tapi each pregnancy differs kan...so nak tak nak kena la merasa kali ni...kalau yg dulu-dulu takde pun morning sickness tapi kali ni mmg hebat betul dugaan sampaikan ada masa-masanya sampai menangis dibuatnya....nasib baik la the 2As pun dah besar, dah pandai bawak diri masing-masing...next week dah mula cuti sekolah...tak tau lagi apa plan utk the 2As ni, hopefully i'll be fit enough to venture outside...sbb sekrg ni pi mana-mana pun masih lagi siap bawak bekal beg plastik just in case of "emergency"...tu belum masuk lagi ubat tahan muntah, gastrik dsbnya....oh how i missed the old days! takpe sabar...sabar....agaknya bb kali ni homely type just like his dad kan....hehehe! ;)

Back on my feet again...almost!

2010-03-07T21:15:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah after almost a week of migrain headaches + vomitting, Panadol and endless supply of MMT akhirnya dah dapat sikit la mengadap PC ni setelah lama ditinggalkan...who would have thought it would be this tough!

Sampaikan 3 kali pi berjumpa doc, akhirnya the last one whom have been my kids' doctor juga yg dapat solvekan the problem...it turns out that my body has been rejecting irons from the pramillet tab yg my gynae bagi...that's why almost every single thing yg masuk mesti keluar balik due to the acidity level yg tinggi...yg pelik tu last mth makan pil tu ok ja...agaknya sbb last week of Feb tu kerja tak menentu sampaikan makan pun tak betul, perut kosong + pramilet tu yg made things worst kot....

Tapi sekarang ni Alhamdulillah dah ok sket...still muntah2 lagi tapi dah takde la rasa asid masam tu...cuma rasa alkali je due to MMT...as for my staple food sekrg ni bubur nasi, biskut + fresh fruits....tu je yg dapat telan buat masa ni....tapi sekrg ni mcm teringin air Twister Apple la pulak...hehehe! Hopefully lepas ni no more vomitting....tak larat sgt, melepet je 24 jam...sampaikan nak pi toilet pun rasa mcm nak minta didokong je....nasib baik la ada my MIL yang cukup banyak membantu dalam masa-masa terdesak ni, kesian tengok dia kena bangun awal pagi masak bubur...then siapkan budak2 ke sekolah....lepas tu uruskan the 2As after school....i really2 appreciate what she had done for me these past few weeks....rasanya my own mom pun tak terdaya nak buat semuanya ni without any help from others....

Mak, Thank you so much for everything....and one day i hope i have the chance to do the same for you....insya-Allah...:)

Free Photoshoot giveaway by Moon

2010-03-01T06:48:00.000-08:00

Saya tingin sangat nak ber PS kerana...

Last family photo taken 3 years ago...caya dak?

1. Saya dah lama tak bergambar dengan famili saya sendiri walaupun bergelar "photographer" kerana lazimnya photographer sendiri lebih "malu" untuk berposing di hadapan kamera kan....tapi memandangkan semenjak tahun lepas belum ada satu pun gambar famili yang cukup sesuai untuk diframekan, jadi saya amat teringin untuk berPS dgn Moon...;)

2. Semenjak bergelar ibu mengandung ni belum ada lagi gambar penuh diri sendiri...kalau ada pun gambar separuh je, itupun diambil oleh my own lil protege. Nak juga merasa ambik gambar maternity dgn the 2As sebelum arrival of the lil A soon.

3. Memang dah lama suka tengok gambar-gambar Moon, jadi teringin pula nak merasa her own personal touch....insya-Allah....Jadi harap-harapnya dapat la menang contest ni....;)

Kepada yang turut ingin menyertai pertandingan PS for free by Moon ni, silalah ke blog ini ya: http://miera301.blogspot.com/

Alhamdullilah...semakin berkurangan dah morning sickness....walaupun bila malam menjelang, masih ada yang tak boleh tidur disebabkan angin....tapi so far, I'm loving every moments of these pregnancy...coz i get to be pampered all over again...hehehe! ;)

Yang kakak-kakak dua beradik pun dah boleh faham what's coming soon, setelah ditunjuk gambar dan penerangan serba sedikit tentang "kejadian alam"...nasib baik ada magazine Pa&Ma yang siap tunjuk proses kelahiran baby....sampai ada yg nightmare tengok gmbr tu sebab takut mama kena "belah perut" macam dlm magazine tu...hehehe! don't worry dear....mama's going the natural way insya-Allah kalau takde sebarang komplikasi....

Hmm...insya-Allah minggu depan akan pi scan + check up kat AnNur...tak sabar rasanya nak ambil the very 1st printout scan nnt...tak nak jadi mcm Amelyn dulu yang tak ambik pun printout masa setiap kali check....bila dah besar ni dia pun dah pandai komplen dia punya takde ke...cian kan...

Oh ya, due to many pressures....akhirnya semlm check juga calendar Chinese gender prediction tu...kalau ikutkan hati, tak kisah sangat kali ni sebab takut jadi mcm kes-kes lepas dok mengharap sangat....tapi naik excited pula bila check calendar tu semlm....sebabnya kalau ikut yg tu, kali ni insya-Allah "BOY! sampaikan daddy pun dah excited nak dpt geng.....tapi apapun tak mengharap sangat, cuma yang penting baby sihat dan normal kan.....apapun leh la prepare nama bb boy kali ni yeh daddy....hehehe! ;)

Gambar tummy yang latest takde but here are few pictures of me at work last few weeks...ya, kerja tetap kerja walaupun dalam mabuk-mabuk...tapi yang pastinya kali ni tiap kali smp lokasi kerja, mmg wajib kena makan dulu! kalau tak sure tak larat nak snappo2....hehehe! Alhamdulillah so far takde apa rintangan sangat cuma balik setiap kali outing kerja sure flat....hehehe! nasib baik la ada anak-anak yang leh tolong picit kaki tangan.....;)

I'm gonna be a BIG sis soon...

2010-01-27T18:30:00.001-08:00

And here's my mama's growin tummy....

I'm already in my 11th weeks or so...(kalau ikut calendar dekat babycenter)....dan kali ni cepat pulak naik tummynya, agaknya tummy fat yg sedia ada tu dah cukup utk mengemphasizekan per"kembang"an kali ni.....hehehe! Semua symptoms dah ada...mual...meloya...sakit pinggang...tak leh tidur malam...anxiety attack....padahal ni dah nak masuk 3rd pregnancy tp agaknya sebab dah lama bercuti jadi everything seems just as new to me....and i should be enjoying it rather than panicking kan....;)

Anyway here's my latest tummy and "big" sis Amelyn taken by Alia....bila malam baru nmpk bulat betul my tummy, sampaikan Amelyn siap cakap "muncittttnya mama!" ....sabar je la...tunggu la 4-5 bulan lagi masa tu sure dah tak nampak kaki dah....hehehe!

Oh ya, my EDD is Aug 14 2010, best la kali ni dpt celebrate birthday sesama dengan lil A....;)

I'm a Prima Kid!

2010-01-26T23:43:00.000-08:00

Akhirnya berjaya juga upload gambar Amelyn dengan uniform tadika barunya....kali ni dah tukar ke Tadika Prima Global yang terletak betul-betul di hujung jalan rumah kami ni....senang nak menghantar dan jemput...sampaikan dia pun take things for granted, pukul 8.30 baru nak keluar berjalan ke tadika...elok-elok ja sampai sebelum gate ditutup...hehehe!

Alhamdulillah, so far tengok perkembangan dia semakin maju...dah boleh membaca dengan sendirinya...walaupun kadang-kadang tu masih tersangkut...tapi tak kisahlah sebab baru lagi...janji dia happy dengan environment baru ni dah cukup...cuma ada sekali ja dia menangis tak nak pi sebabnya dia kena belajar Mandarin...dia kata dia tak tau, semua orang lain dah tau....puas memujuk tapi nasib baik Teacher Goh pandai ambil hati dia....sekarang ni dia dah mula enjoy class Mandarin siap balik tunjuk tulisan Mandarin dia yg comel2 tu walaupun bila ditanya bunyi macam mana dia tak tau...hehehe!

p.s. Haah sekeping gambar je yg sempt ambil....dia tak bagi bawak kamera ke sekolah...malu katanya....nnt la bila-bila ada masa free nak pi juga ambik gmbr dia kat tadika tu...hehehe! ;)

the 2As are back!

2010-01-19T18:37:00.000-08:00

I'm terribly sorry for being such a bad blogger. Well anyway, we're back...insya-Allah....:)

Alhamdulillah, the 2As pun dah settle semua bab sekolah...Alia pun dah dpt cope dengan sekolah KAFA dan kebangsaan + KUMON...walaupun susah juga pada mulanya tapi dgn disiplin ketat oleh mama dan daddy, akhirnya dapat juga dia suaikan diri dgn jadual baru ni....no more late nights, TVs and games....sampaikan si kecik pun dah terikut jadual kakak....oh ya si adik ni pun dah tukar sekolah baru....no more PASTI bukannya tak bagus kat situ tapi nak ambil angin baru dan juga nak cari tadika yg dalam walking distance dr rumah....senang nak hantar dan jemput....so far she's doing well kat tadika Prima Kids tu....walaupun ramai kawan yang berbangsa Cina dan India, she's getting used to the new environment...hari-hari balik ada je new English vocab yg dia dapat....hehehe! Gambar nnt mama upload yeh....lupa la nk ambil kamera dr studio....

And as for the other "news"....no....I'm not being superstitious...cuma tak nak too excited lagipun belum lepas the 1st three months.....but yes....

I'm expecting...finally!

Memang banyak dugaan kali ni...agaknya sebab dah lama bercuti kot tu yg rasa penat semacam kali ni....bab loya mual tu tak payah cakap la...tengok ikan sardin pun boleh muntah-muntah dibuatnya.....sampaikan sekarang ni menu utama nasi putih sahaja dengan kicap...ataupun roti dgn cheese....dan juga buah-buahan....itu je yg dapat diterima oleh tekak buat masa ni....

Any tips mcm mana nak hilangkan rasa mual ni? please do share ya......:)

Hibernating

2009-12-28T10:12:00.000-08:00

Terpaksa berhibernate buat seketika....insya-Allah akan kembali dengan latest stories on the 2As once mama dah "ok" sikit.....

In the meantime, salam maal hijrah...merry christmas....happy new year....dan have a great back to school!

Happy Birthday Danish!

2009-12-14T19:05:00.000-08:00

It was a fun play together danish's 4th birthday party! Seronok the 2As bila dapat pergi birthday kali ni. Kena pulak kat KizSports which has become their new favorite place to hang out! Mulanya memang dah keluar awal tapi sudahnya sampai lambat juga sebab kena buat few stops sana sini....masa sampai tengok the rest dah kt dalam bilik game dah....mulanya 2As tak berapa nak join...tapi bila dah lama-lama sampai tak hingat nak balik rumah....hehhe!

Anyway thanks Erna n co for inviting us...great place, great food + great cake....and happy birthday once again to Mr. Danish Baslan. Aunty hopes Danish suka ya hadiah tu...sorrrry tak sempat nak balut that day....;)

Muzium Negara 09 Trip

2009-12-14T18:38:00.000-08:00

fr left: aiza alia, raihani, aiza amelyn, rajwa + raihana

the kids with tok babah + tok tok

Setelah sekian lama berjanji dengan the 2As untuk ke muzium akhirnya terlaksana juga. Dan yang paling best kali ni the 2As ditemani dengan the 3Rs yang baru ja datang bercuti kat sini. Mulanya macam malas nak bawak diaorg pi muzium, but it turned out pretty well. Maybe diaorang tak berapa faham at certain parts, tapi ada juga la yang nak tanya apa tu..apa ni....sampai jenuh juga nak explain. Tapi dalam banyak-banyak tu yang paling diaorang suka sekali part hologram. Kita yang dah dewasa ni pun naik seronok tengok. Teringat mcm cite "A night in the museum" pulak...nice touch!

Hmm..gambar tak banyak sangat ambil masa kat dalam muzium tu sebabnya the kids ni tak boleh duduk diam..kejap2 lari ke sana...ke sini...sudahnya tak sempat langsung nak ambik gmbr depan Hang Tuah....which is my absolute favorite part of the whole museum!

Anyway, it was a fun, eye opening trip for the kids....tapi bila dah sampai Sogo lepas tu semuanya dah lupa about muzium....rasanya kalau dah besar sikit they would appreciate those kind of things kan.....;)

Where to next?

Library je la kot...nak pulangkan balik buku hari tu....lagipun mama mcm tak berdaya nak jalan jauh-jauh dalam masa terdekat ni.....;)

TQ Aunty Zuraimah!

2009-12-07T08:41:00.000-08:00

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for the lovely presents. :)

Memang cukup bersesuaian dengan musim cuti sekolah ni, apataknya almost setiap hari the 2As asyik sibuk buat coloring sana sini...or in other words, menconteng!

Tapi jangan sampai conteng dinding sudah la....;)

Happy Holiday!

2009-11-30T17:56:00.000-08:00

Dah seminggu cuti sekolah berlalu, memang cepat rasanya masa berjalan....hmm apalah agaknya aktiviti the 2As cuti kali ni kan....nothing much to be exact! raya haji kali ni pun kat sini ja....memang takdak pi mana-mana pun, insya-Allah next week akan cuba juga bawak the 2As pi bercuti ke mana-mana....tapi in the meantime kena la bersabar dengan mama yang dah tukar jadi singa betina buat masa cuti sekolah ni...hehehe!

Since mama kebuntuan idea utk cuti sekolah ni....antara aktiviti yang mama dah susun buat the 2As kali ni ialah :-

1. project scrapbook utk birthday daddy di mana semalam dah berjaya ambil 10 instant pictures using mama's new polaroid camera....tinggal nak susun dalam album dan juga masukkan few wordings + bling2....

2. project knitting for kids, dah beli knitting set kt toys r us....cuma nak kena baca manual macam mana nak actually do the knitting...

3. projek "to read more books and less TV", dah siap buat library card so bagi Alia setiap buku yang dia pinjam dia kena buat sedikit ringkasan dan juga moral pengajaran yang dia pelajari dari buku tersebut, manakala Amelyn pula kena cuba belajar membaca sekurang-kurangnya 1 buku dalam seminggu...dapat kenal words pun dah cukup bagus...:)

4. projek journal, di mana setiap hari Alia akan menulis jurnal harian ataupun cerita pendek di dalam buku nota khas....dan memandangkan Amelyn belum pandai menulis atau membaca, dia dikehendaki melukis dan mewarna di dalam buku jurnal mengikut tema apa yang mama bagi setiap hari....

Hopefully segala projek ni dapat the 2As follow sampai ke penghujung cuti sekolah nanti.....sebabnya mama nak juga ada masa nak buat editing + printing gambar! pening kepala tau kalau 24 jam asyik dgr pot pet...rengekan...termasuklah cat fights sometimes! jadi untuk mengelak mama jadi singa baik bagi aktiviti-aktiviti yang sesuai utk budak berdua yg comel ini....tenang sikit fikiran mama! hehehe!

Anyway, happy holiday to all our friends out there ya....hmm pergi bercuti ke mana kali ni?

Congrats Amelyn!

2009-11-24T17:33:00.000-08:00

date: 21.11.09

place: Pasti As-Syakirin

Alhamdulillah, satu kejutan yang menggembirakan buat kami semua bila dapat tahu Amelyn berjaya menduduki tempat pertama dalam kelas 5 tahun sessi pagi. Memang sesuatu yang cukup mengejutkan dan menggembirakan at the same time. Tak sangka si kecik ni finally did something that made us proud...selama ni memang dia la yang paling "lemah lembut" dalam apa jua perkara....sehinggakan membuatkan mama risau bila dia nak tunjukkan potensi sebenarnya....

But she proved me wrong, she's already on her own way.....walaupun masih belum lancar membaca but she's already one step ahead from what I had in mind....and mama's totally proud u girl.....teruskan usaha dan lepas ni cuba belajar baca betul-betul k.....insya-Allah you can do even better! :)

2012

2009-11-17T04:01:00.000-08:00

A film of mass destruction/disaster/catastrophe/apocalypse...u name it, Roland Emmerich have it all cramped in this so called 2012 movie.....

Don't get me wrong...it was an OK movie, passable for a long, almost 3 hrs movie....you were kept at the edge of your seats for most of the time...but the CGI effects in the movie just took away the realness of it....hehehe...that's my 2 cents though....

But I enjoyed it!

I think Woody Harrelson should have been the lead actor in the movie!

John Cusack is not an ACTION movie star...but i still adores him!

And watch out for the cleverly put tongue in cheek jokes....;)

Keep your mind open, and you will enjoy 2012!

p/s btw, did you guys heard about the rumour about a freak thunderstorm/rain coming this Friday?

Buenos Noches!

It's her birthday gift from mama!

Since she was a lil kid rasanya tak pernah lagi belikan doll sebesar ni, seingatnya dulu alia lagi byk mainan Fisher Price dr dolls....so kebetulan masa pi Metrojaya Sales hari tu terjumpa patung Dora ni siap dengan set pakaian baju sekolah at almost like 70% off dr harga biasa, tak payah pikir dua kali dah terus beli....bukan main seronok lagi kak long dapat adik Dora dia tu...tiap hari asyik sikatkan rambut sambil dok mengira un dos tres...hehehe! cute je kan....

And tomorrow we'll be celebrating her birthday on ice skating rink....since her bday fell on last Monday so terpaksa postpone till tomorrow for the celebration....it'll be just the 6 of us....kek pun takde tapi yang pastinya it will be a great family outing setelah sekian lama tak berjalan-jalan.....and as for me, it'll be a much needed retail therapy tomorrow....nak kena cari slacks or khakis, a new white shirt and also a blazer for a royal function this weekend....alaaaa letih la kalau kena cover majlis rasmi ni kan, ada macam-macam protokol...tapi mmg kena dress up formally mcm tu kan biasanya.....alangkah bahagianya kalau dapat pakai jeans sahaja....kat mana ada sales yeh sekrg nih?

Anyway, have a great weekend ya peeps....kalau ada sapa-sapa yg drop by area Sunway tomorrow...bolehla dating dgn we all kat sana yeh.....:):)

It's Party Time!

2009-11-09T19:57:00.000-08:00

otw to damia's party
dah sampai register dulu....

lepas register terus je the 2As ke booth nail painting..

showing off her nails...cantik kan...

amelyn with birthday girl, so sweet kan....

This was last Sunday at Damia's 6th Birthday party, Bianco Damansara Perdana...setelah sekian lama tak berparty, akhirnya the 2As dapat juga ikut mama+daddy bertugas this time. Temanya kali ni Garden Fairy Party, so apalagi the 2As pun siap pakai shirt baru yang mama beli untuk diaorg sempena tema party kali ni. Elok-elok pulak tu matching dgn wings yang aunty Erna dah sediakan...thank you!!

Memang grand betul birthday Damia kali ni, siap ada games, story telling dan juga "pelamin" for the little fairies....cantik sangat kan...mmg lain dr yang lain...setting mmg best! Thanks to mum dan juga Yee Sen as the party planner....party of the year indeed! :)

Tapi yang paling best petang tu rasanya part tug of war antara parents team...hahaha....tak sabar rasanya nak tunggu video dr dd own, nak replay balik that moment yang mmg cukup best giler di mana kaum ibu akhirnya berjaya mengalahkan kaum bapa yang pada mulanya mcm tak konfiden tengok kaum ibu yang nak tarik tali siap ada yg bawak anak sekali..hehehe! akhirnya tertewas juga mereka....hehehehe! girrrrllll powerrrr!!!

To Erna and family, thanks for inviting us....the 2As enjoyed the party so much, sampaikan ada yang tak cuci lagi tangan sampai ke hari ni...nasib baik la cikgu tadika tak perasan...hehehe! Dan juga thanks for entrusting me to capture the event once again....you've been my greatest and most wonderful supporter ever...luv ya! :)

And to my dearest Damia, Happy Birthday once again from all of us...stay sweet my dear little angel.....:):)

Thank God for fire extinguisher!

2009-11-09T06:08:00.000-08:00

I strongly urge every household to have one...and to actually know how to use it when in need...

kenapa?

Sebabnya hari ni dah tercatat lagi sekali peristiwa yang amat mengejutkan...dapur rumah kami hampir terbakar! ceritanya bermula apabila my dear MIL yang nak mengoreng ikan terlupa yang dia panaskan minyak kat dapur....bila dah sedar, pi tengok periuk tu dah on fire! memang panik mulanya cari tudung periuk nak tutup tp jumpa semua yang kaca....tak terpikir langsung nak ambik kain basah.....yang daddy pula pi siram dengan air...apalagi terus naik api menjulang tinggi menyambar kain canvas yang tutup grill belakang....masa tu dah tak pikir apa dah..terus keluar ke depan make sure budak-budak lari keluar dulu....nasib baik masa tu dd own dgn ucu an terpikir nak ambik fire extinguisher....dapat juga api dipadamkan tak lama selepas tu...mengigil-gigil juga dibuatnya selepas tu....naik lemah lutut masing-masing sampaikan hilang mood nak celebrate birthday alia....tapi yang kelakarnya masa tu, budak-budak ni duduk kat luar siap pi cerita kat posmen kata dapur terbakar....nasib baik org tu tak masuk tolong sama...hehehe..sabar je la! ;)

Tapi mmg bersyukur sangat tak terjadi apa-apa yang serius...dan Alhamdulillah anak-anak pun selamat walaupun sedikit trauma.....tapi yang pastinya lepas ni nak strongly urge kawan-kawan semua untuk melengkapkan setiap rumah dengan pemadam api..semuanya boleh terjadi sekelip mata jadi biarlah kita bersedia terlebih dahulu kan.....

This was the 2nd thing that happened to us...last Saturday while at work my dear hubby was in the car when the lightning stroke...dan menyebabkan sebatang pokok jatuh dan terhempap ke atas kereta...nasib baik la pokok kecik je dan yang cuma ranting hujung pokok tu je yg kena kereta....Alhamdulillah my dear hubby suffered no injuries...maybe cuma sedikit terkejut dengan apa yang terjadi....kereta pun kemik sikit je kat depan....kalau pikir-pikirkan balik macam-macam hal yang terjadi lately ni....tapi Alhamdulillah syukur ke hadrat Ilahi, kami semua dipelihara olehNya dan tiada apa yang serius terjadi....mungkin ini ujian Allah kepada kami sekeluarga....

Happy 7th Birthday, Aiza Alia bt Azril

2009-11-08T19:15:00.001-08:00

My girl is now 7!

Terasa cepat betul masa berlalu...from a 3+kg baby now dah 20+kg young girl...dah tak larat mama nak dukung naik tangga tiap malam selepas tertidur di sofa semasa membuat kerja sekolah....

but she aint heavy, she's my baby! hehehe...

my sweet gentle, soft hearted kak long who sometimes wishes she's the only baby...

Sekarang ni dah makin besar, dah makin banyak perubahan yang dialami...she's no longer the shy one, instead now she's the independent one...dah pandai bawak diri kat sekolah or even kat birthday parties sampaikan semalam mama pun tak perasan mana dia at last cuma sempat snap sekeping (the one above)sahaja semasa birthday party princess Damia semalam...bukan itu sahaja sekarang ni dah pandai memendam perasaan dan juga meluahkan di dalam diari....such a sensitive soul this one, kadang-kadang nak kena pandai tackle juga baru dapat pujuk anak mama yang kuat merajuk ni....;)

Kalau dulu mickey mouse club sekarang tiada lagi itu semua, High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Tari Tirana yang menjadi pujaan....kalau nampak gaya tu macam minat ke arah musical...agaknya terkenan kot sebab masa mengandungkan Alia sempat pi tgk Saturday Night Fever dgn Fame the musical...selain dr tu, Alia juga sekarang dah mewarisi hobi mama...sekarang ni dia dah jadi bookworm! pantang nampak kedai buku wajib kena belikan buku cerita untuk dia, kalau dulu setakat majalah kanak-kanak tapi sekarang dah pandai baca novel for young teens.....ahhhh terasa betul anak mama ni dah besar kan!....sometimes i just wish they could just stay little! hehehe! ;)

Apapun mama doakan Alia menjadi anak yang solehah kesayangan semua, dan menjadi kebanggaan keluarga kelak....amin.....i dont ask for much, i just want you to stay as you are my dear sweet Aiza Alia......:)

Exam week!

2009-11-04T18:06:00.000-08:00

Imbas kembali: Her first day @ school

She was overwhelmed with whole situation and yet calm, i love this one!

Sempat juga bye2 kat mama....she looked so worried kan...

Few selected pictures during her first week @ school, I'll never get to see her in this uniform again, dia dah tak nak pakai katanya kawan-kawan dia tak nak kawan dgn orang yang tak pakai tudung...katanya mak budak tu yg ajar cakap mcm tu....how prejudice!

Minggu ni bermulanya peperiksaan penggal terakhir buat Alia, setelah sekian lama bertungkus lumus akhirnya minggu ini dia akan diuji dengan segala apa yang telah dipelajari. Dapat jawab ke tak tu lain cerita.....tapi yang pastinya kami sama-sama dah bertungkus lumus mengulangkaji.....mama pun kena turun padang kali ni, sama-sama buat revision....banyak juga yang dia dah ketinggalan....mostly my fault, biasanya check buku latihan macam tu ja...takde buat revision until these last few weeks....itupun jenuh nak kena pujuk rayu....;)

Antara subject yang dia paling lemah sekali ialah bahasa Arab dan Agama, sampai terbelit-belit lidah dok mengajar dia membaca soalan periksa dalam Jawi semalam...sudahnya si adik, Amelyn yang dapat jawab semuanya...apataknya dia dah ada basic kat PASTI tu....Alhamdulillah so far memang nampak perkembangan si adik ni cepat sikit dari kakak dia...tapi sayangnya, dia masih belum boleh membaca BM dan BI....itula ada juga pro and cons for both sis yang pre school kat tempat yang berlainan ni....utk next year, still tak sure nak hantar si adik ke mana lagi....tapi yang pastinya mama nak kena ajar dia membaca dengan lebih lancar...sekarang ni dia cukup malas nak belajar membaca, instead dia suka melukis dan mewarna...berjiwa artistik rupanya yang seorang ni.....hehehe!

this is us on her 6th high school musical birthday party, it was a blast!

Back to Alia, she's going to turn 7 next week. Dah siap demand nak birthday party lagi....hmmm memang ingat nak buat tapi si adik komplen kata tiap-tiap tahun asyik buat birthday Alia je......tak sampai hati pula tu dengar....lagipun bulan ni bajet ada lari sikit....so tengokla macam mana nanti, maybe buat yang kecil-kecilan je for family kt McD yang baru dibuka kat sini....

Well, we'll see how it goes...ada rezeki, ada la kan.....insya-Allah.....;) :)

ChomelCrafts Photo Session + Potluck Picnic

2009-10-29T00:59:00.000-07:00

Dah lama rasanya tak bercerita tentang aktiviti 2As kan....almaklumlah sibum mengulangkaji untuk exam yang bakal muncul tiba minggu depan. Tapi alam study2 tu, sempat juga kitaorang berpiknik di hujung minggu.

Sara Aaesha yang cukup pandai bergaya

Naim, anak bujang Norry

Dina yang manja...

Biasanya kalau kita plan memang tak jadi, tapi kali ni last minute semuanya...dan menjadi! Antara yang hadir pada hari Ahad lepas ialah Azza tuan empunya Chomel Crafts collections, Anna chef terhebat dr BakeFreshly, Shakinah dengan frame canvas from Color of Life dan juga ex-client, Norry Abby dengan anak bujangnya.

Mulanya cadang untuk berphoto shoot saja tapi alang-alang tu baik piknik sekali kan....memang best kalau ada kwan-kawan pandai memasak ni. Antara menu minum petang tu adalah chicken pie, cheese tart, pizza, choc cake dan juga jambu batu + asam boi....sedap sangat chicken pie + cheese tart tu! teringat-ingat sampai arini....hehehe! yummmmehhhh!!

Dah selesai menjamu selera bermula lah sessi bergambar....macam-macam sepit yang Azza bawak pada hari tu. Naik rambang mata Alia dgn Amelyn memilih mana satu yang nak dibeli. Akhirnya Alia dengan sepit cupcake dan Amelyn dengan sepit Mickey Mouse. Silap mama tak ambik satu...gerammmm tengok, semua cantik-cantik belaka...especially yg ada huruf S & A siap ada sulaman bunga tu....cantikkkkkk giler!

Anyway, here are few of the many pictures taken that day...tak larat nak upload semua...nnt tunggu tokey kedai ComelCrafts upload kat site dia yeh...enjoy!

p.s. baru perasan takde pon gmbr kita yang mama-mama ni kan....huhuhu...sabar je la!! ;)

PLAYTIME with some penyepit baju!

2009-10-12T19:54:00.000-07:00

the poor man's version...hehehe!!

dari penyepit...

menjadi rusa...

kemudian bertukar menjadi bunga...

dan juga ikan...

paling senang buat pistol je....;)

and my favorite, lil horsey..or was it a giraffe?

Dah lama rasanya tak luangkan masa bermain dengan Amelyn, so semalam saja biarkan dia main sorang-sorang dulu tengok dari jauh je....hmmm tak sangka kreatif juga anak mama sorang ni, penyepit baju pun boleh jadi macam-macam...dari ikan ke rusa....dari flower ke dragonfly......seronok juga melayan keletah dia semalam....actually dah lama dia dok minta mainan baru cuma mama je yang malas nak melayan sebab dah penuh sarat dah rumah dengan mainan diaorang berdua ni sampaikan dalam bilik tidur pun dah ada dua bakul penuh.....kalau dulu masa kecik mmg pantang nampak ada toys warehouse sales memang dari pagi-pagi lagi dah tuju ke situ....bila dah makin besar ni dah jarang sangat rasanya beli mainan except more books for alia....simpan dalam hati juga si kecik ni rupanya....siap komplen asyik-asyik alia je yang dapat buku baru.....;)

So semalam terpaksa la tunaikan janji yang dah sekian lama...beli juga mainan art craft set for si kecik tu, tapi tak dapat nak main lagi sebab semalam hujan....lukisan tu nak kena jemur elok-elok baru kering dengan cantiknya.....hmmm nampak gayanya kena tunggu Amelyn balik sekolah dulu la baru dapat main....:)

We're Back!

2009-10-07T21:40:00.000-07:00

Countdown to Balik Kampung

2009-09-08T01:40:00.001-07:00

gmbr sekadar hiasan, susah betul nak ambil gmbr the 2As sekrg ni

Ya countdown sudah pun bermula....lebih kurang seminggu sahaja lagi sebelum the 2As akan berangkat pulang ke kampung tercinta nun jauh di Kangar, Perlis. Dan dengan ini juga mama akan mula start packing dari malam ini....bukannya apa senang sikit nak agak berapa beg nak bawak nanti....insya-Allah the 2As akan balik bercuti selama 10 hari....jadi kena la start buat list apa nak kena bawak balik ni dr sekarang, takut nanti ada yang tertinggal baju raya ke...kasut raya ke....tak pun bantal bushuk! hehehehe! kalau balik dengan kereta tu takpela juga tapi kali ni balik naik kapal terbang so kena la packing smartly.....teringat pula masa balik raya few years back, di mana masa tu alia masih kecik lagi....nak jadi cerita flight dah sampai ke destinasi tapi luggage rupa-rupanya dengan flight yg selepas tu...nak jadi cerita kena la datang ambil malamnya....kalau dekat takpela juga ni dekat sejam juga perjalanan....tapi nak tak nak kena juga mengharungi perjalanan balik ke airport pada malamnya...semata-mata sebab nak ambil bantal bushuk alia kat dalam beg tu! kang ada yang tak boleh tidur tanpa bantal kesayangan tu....mmg rela lagi pergi ambil jauh2 dari melayan rengekan anak mama yang sorang tu...heheheh!

Hopefully kali ni takkan terjadi lagi pengalaman yang serupa.....ada pula yang menangis tak berlagu nanti di pagi raya....hehehe!

En Cam

2009-09-04T21:05:00.000-07:00

Sedang meratapi En.Cam saya yang tengah sakit.
Setelah berkhidmat sekian lamanya akhirnya ia jatuh sakit jua.
Demam yang tak terubat?
Harap-harap tidak begitula....huhuhu......

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

2009-08-31T05:54:00.000-07:00

Salam merdeka untuk semua! Video ni dirakamkan few weeks ago...masa tu dia tengah prektis menyanyi untuk hari sukan....memang menepati dengan suasana merdeka hari ini. Rindu rasanya nak tengok perarakan, kalau dulu masa kecik-kecik time2 tu la duduk melekat depan TV padahal tak faham apa-apa pun lagi masa tu....hopefully my 2As akan memahami erti kemerdekaan kelak...bukan sekadar menghafal lagu negaraku dan rukun negara sahaja....insya-Allah.....

On the other note.....Alhamdulillah, akhirnya my little Amelyn dapat juga berpuasa penuh 1 hari. Satu pencapaian yang baru. Memang kuat semangat betul anak comel mama ni. Walaupun sampai pukul 4 tu dah mengadu sakit perut tapi berjaya juga dia habiskan puasa untuk hari ini. Macam ni baru la boleh dapat duit raya dari mama...;)

Hmmm macam mana dengan cuti Merdeka? rasanya ramai yang mengambil kesempatan kali ini untuk berpuasa di kampung kan....as for us, tak pi mana-mana pun...cuma ke Bangi sahaja, rumah my SIL....seronok juga berbuka puasa beramai-ramai ni....especially for the kids la sebab dapat berkumpul ramai-ramai....tapi sedihla tak dapat berbuka puasa with my parents yang jauh nun di utara like my sis yang balik sana for the holiday...teringat-ingat nasi ulam + sayur keladi...daging bakar + air asam....kari daging +rebung....emmmmmmm sedapnya! meleleh pula air liur dibuatnya...hehehe!

Hmmm.. nak ke dapur mencari crab rangoon lah mcm ni....lapar pula rasanya.....hehehe! ; )

Si Adik Manis Berkebaya

2009-08-28T01:58:00.001-07:00

Sudah masuk seminggu kita berpuasa...Alhamdulillah setakat ni belum ada yang terbabas lagi...cuma anak dara ku yang berdua itu je yang masih tak berjaya untuk melengkapkan puasa satu hari.....walaupun dah bangun bersahur....nampak sangat dugaan begitu kuat, apataknya bangun pagi je tengok mama dia sibuk buat dadih....bau mmg la amat menggodakan....hehehe! mana tak terbabasnya kan.....takpela tapi tahun depan nak kena strict sikit especially Alia.....susah betul nak memujuk dia berpuasa...mudah-mudahan balik kampung nanti bila dia tengok cousins dia berpuasa bolehla naikkan semangat utk dia mencuba puasa penuh..insya-Allah...

Hmm...rasanya ramai yang sudah mula menyediakan persiapan utk Raya nanti kan....as usual, dah siapkan barang untuk the 2As dulu....baju kurung, checked.....dresses, checked.....kasut, checked.....baju kebaya, checked.....alamak tapi satu je yang belum cari, accesorries....kalau tahun lepas concept Raya baju kurung kedah, dua-dua anak dara tu dapat sepasang rantai seorang...tapi tahun ni dengan baju kebaya....apa yang sesuai dipadankan yeh? Kalau amelyn tu boleh la juga nak cari sepasang anting-anting gantung...tapi untuk Alia? hmmmm....pening kepala juga nak cari idea ni....kalau ikutkan Alia, rambut tak sikat pun okeh jek....memang sempoi betul anak daraku yang sorang tu...tapi tak vogue la nnt kan....hehehe!

So friends, any suggestions?

RAYA PORTRAITURE

2009-08-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

2 Ramadhan

2009-08-22T23:54:00.000-07:00

Tidak seperti yang dijanjikan, the 2As masih juga tidak berpuasa hari ini....dalam kita dok sibuk proses dadih rupa-rupanya senyap je diaorg mengerjakan choc fudge cake mama...huhuhu...sabar je la, punya teringin nak makan cake dah berapa lama...sekali bila beli dah the 2As yang kerjakan pulak....takpela...nasib baik tak kempunan tau....

Sempena bulan puasa ni, kitaorang satu family nekad ambil satu tapak berniaga seperti tahun-tahun lepas...cuma kalau dulu kat taman Mesra, kali ni dah berubah tempat ke Prima Saujana....antara yang dijual Barli Lemon, Barli Orange, Barli Bunga Kekwa, Jus Jambu, Jambu Potong dan juga Dadih Warna Warni....seawal pagi lagi my MIL dah mula proses merendam dan merebus Barli...while mama dgn daddy sibuk bikin dadih warna warni....dapat juga siap walaupun asyik kena kacau dengan the 2As ye yg dok sibuk dah memilih warna apa yang diaorang nak...bila suruh bayar siap ambik duit lagi...hehehe!

Sementara bulan puasa ni pun takde projek so mencuba la apa peluang yang ada...seronok berniaga ni, walaupun penat tapi puas hati....apapun kita tengok je la macam mana hasil jualannya nanti kan... ;)

Anyway, kepada sesiapa yang ingin mengambil potret keluarga bertemakan hari Raya, studio kitaorang tetap dibuka seperti biasa....interested, call me yea.....samples? nnt esok nanti I'll upload few ya.....:)

Salam Ramadhan

2009-08-21T22:59:00.000-07:00

1 Ramadhan

Pagi-pagi lagi Alia dah bangun breakfast....ini semua sebab tak bangun bersahur pagi tadi padahal semalam dah siap plan nak puasa penuh tahun ni, tapi 1st day je lagi dah kantoi...agaknya sebab mama pun tengah "raya" sebab tu dia tak de mood nak berpuasa...tapi yang cukup membanggakan, Amelyn dapat juga berpuasa sampai pukul 2 ptg walaupun dia tak bersahur....kuat semangat jugak budak kecik sorang ni....

Tapi takpela esok insya-Allah akan cuba juga train Alia untuk berpuasa penuh....kalau tak start dari sekarang bila lagi kan....;)

Anyway, apa menu berbuka kalian hari ni? Untuk hari pertama ni pasti ada sahaja juadah istimewa kan...as for us, we'll be going to my SIL's house untuk berbuka...konsep pot luck gitu, kitaorang akan bawak spaghetti while my other SIL akan bawak lasagna....dan tuan rumah pula akan menyediakan nasi serta lauk pauk....wah dah go italian la pulak hari ni cuma takde pizza je lagi...hehehe! tapi yang pastinya kejap lagi sure nak pi PARAM cari kuih muih......;)

Selamat berpuasa dan juga berbuka! Semoga bulan Ramadhan ini membawa keberkatan kepada semua...insya-Allah....:)

My 34th Birthday!

2009-08-18T21:01:00.001-07:00

The day began with a birthday song from the 2As....awwww so sweet kan, what a better way than to wake up to your lovely ones' faces.....it sure is gonna be a lovely day!

10.00 am
Our 1st destination was the KLCC Park....ada photo session dengan Hana and family....tapi disebabkan restrictions by the persistent security guard kat situ terpaksa bertukar location ke Taman Tasik Titiwangsa...katanya big boss of KLCC tgh meronda masa tu...huh, biasa ok je ambik gmbr kat situ..tapi takpela since dia pun dah tegur elok-elok kan...baik kita ikut aje la....kang tak pasal2 jadi kes pulak kat situ...hehehe!

11.00 - 12.00
Sampai ke location kedua di Taman Tasik Titiwangsa....hmmm nasib baik jugak tukar tempat kat sini, at least kat sini byk pokok dan kawasan yang redup...memang sangat-sangat sesuai untuk bergambar....so apalagi sementara menunggu Hana and the gang sampai, sempat la juga ambil gambar Alia dan Amelyn berkebaya....memang tema tahun ni dah decide baju kebaya tapi cuma for the 2As je la...hehehe...nasib baik la dapat jumpa pilihan hati just in time...kalau sapa-sapa yang berminat boleh la contact Nik Nazrina at this page :-
http://chimyeshoppe.blogspot.com/

1.00 pm
Otw back already to Kajang....mulanya ingat nak terus pi the Mines, tapi masa ni kepala dah pening sangat...dari semalam lagi dah dok pening2...agaknya dah masuk angin kot..so balik je terus ke rumah..kesian budak2 ni terpaksa kensel plan padahal alia dah siap ponteng sekolah nak celebrate my birthday....hehehe!

5.00 pm
Dapat hadiah from my SIL and my MIL which are a blouse and a glittering bracelet....boleh la pakai masa raya nnt ni....thank you! :)

7.30 pm
Jemput the 2As balik dr KUMON, sambil tu sempat juga check their latest progress...Alhamdulillah they're getting better at Math....:)

8.30 pm
Went for a dinner at Village View Bangi. Cadangnya nak makan besar malam ni tapi sayang sekali hidangan malam ni tak menepati citarasa kitaorang...agaknya baru tukar tukang masak kot sebab semua masakannya tawar belaka....aduiiii sabar je la...tapi dah disebabkan lapar, habis juga la seekor ikan siakap tu....hehehe! Anyway thanks daddy for the dinner...:)

It was a great day walaupun macam-macam hal yang terjadi, and almost half of the day terpaksa spent on bed....tapi masih macam tak percaya it's already my 34th year....bukan la terasa macam muda lagi, badan pun dah terasa sakit2 urat sana sini....but hey, at least i feel my life dah cukup complete with my 2As, a perfect hubby, a dream career....though I'm not so sure where the future might lead after this but I'm so thankful for everything I have so far....:)

Semoga tahun-tahun yang mendatang ini akan membawa lebih keberkatan kepada kami sekeluarga....insya-Allah......

Amelyn's Sports Day 2009

2009-08-11T21:15:00.001-07:00

HARI SUKAN 2009
date: 09.08.09
place: Pasti As-Syakirin Desa Seri Jenaris

Akhirnya setelah seminggu terlantar demam dan cuma 1 hari training, dapat juga Amelyn join hari sukan 2009 bagi tadika Pasti Desa seri Jenaris. Pagi-pagi lagi dia dah bangun siap semuanya. Tepat pukul 8.00 pagi sah sampai kat sekolah dia, rupa-rupanya start pukul 8.30 pagi...tapi takpelah ambil tempat dan register nama dulu....

Dalam pukul 8.45 baru la semuanya berkumpul dan upacara perasmian dimulakan. Ramai juga rupanya yang hadir pada pagi tersebut. Ada empat rumah sukan semuanya yang dinamakan sempena nama-nama para sahabat Nabi. Amelyn rumah kuning, yang mana namanya Khalifah Usman. Ceria je semua kanak-kanak pada pagi tu walaupun cuaca dah mula panas.

Selepas je upacara perasmian, bacaan ikrar, doa dan juga nyanyian Negaraku, acara sukan pun bermula. Ada sepuluh acara semuanya dan Amelyn masuk 5 di antaranya. Tapi mama cuma sempat tengok 2 sahaja sebab pukul 10 dah kena bertolak ke tempat lain. Ada kerja la pulak hari tu.

Tapi sempat juga tengok dia main acara pundi kacang dengan lari gelung berhalangan. Ounyala slow and steady cik adik kita sorang ni sampaikan masa bawa pundi kacang sempat lagi senyum kat kamera mama....hehehe! Ralat juga tak sempat tengok acara lain tapi nasib baik ada Yaya yang tolong rekodkan....thanks dear!

Apapun yang penting Amelyn enjoy sangat hari sukan tersebut, apataknya member siap dapat bermacam-macam hadiah. Dia dapat 1 2nd place dan 2 3rd place. Seronok juga la dia dapat pencil gift set, tumbler + tabung. Cantik-cantik pulak tu. Sampaikan jeles Alia tengok dibuatnya...hehehe!

Amelyn, you made us proud that day! You go, girl! Tak sangka anak mama ni ada juga bakat bersukan walaupun tengok mcm tak larat jek...hehehe! Girl power! :)

p/s the rest of the pix ada kat FB album yeh....:)

Think Positive!

2009-08-11T20:08:00.000-07:00

Inspired by hotmama's entry for today...

Walaupun kita jatuh tersungkur...walaupun kita tertipu dengan janji manis sahabat/musuh...but life still goes on! We just have to look forward...mungkin takde rezeki di situ tapi yang pastinya kita masih boleh berusaha dan insya-Allah, Allah akan membantu kita di sepanjang perjalanan itu...

Apa kesnya?

Hmmmm...nak cerita pun takut nnt dikatakan menjatuhkan maruah orang tersebut...tapi cukup la kalau kc cakapkan betapa beraninya orang tersebut menipu ibu mertuaku di siang-siang hari dengan renungan matanya sahaja......cheque yang diberi pun rupa-rupanya cheque tendang....pening..pening....

Tak baik betul dia buat macam tu.....

Takpelah kita tunggu dan lihat je la macam mana....duduk berjiran, lama mana dia nak buat macam ni....

I lurve my Audrey!

2009-08-10T19:30:00.000-07:00

on location @ FRIM Kepong.

Setelah sekian lama dok mengintai Crocs Outlet akhirnya tercapai juga cita-cita untuk memiliki sepasang kasut Crocs...mulanya mmg takde niat nak beli pun sbb bagi kc apala sangat kasut getah macam ni kan....tapi setelah berlakunya satu insiden yang cukup memalukan di satu majlis...akhirnya terpaksa mencari kasut "kerja" yang anti slip dan tahan lasak....dan rasanya yang paling sesuai sekali kasut Crocs la kan....hehehe!

So akhirnya last Friday, terus ajak my sis pi Crocs Outlet kat the Mines...mulanya nak cari yang model Olivia tapi takde pulak kat situ....akhirnya jatuh cinta pula kat Audrey ni, siap ada riben turqoise gitu...perasan cute bila pakai kasut ni....hehehe kebetulan pula yang ini sahaja yg ada size so malas nak pikir panjang2 lagi terus je beli this one....kalau nak beli online pun tgk ada yang harganya sampai RM 80 mcm tu, belum lagi campur shipping tu kan...yang ini cuma RM 60 sahaja dan yang paling penting dapat cuba pakai dulu..mmg puas hati sangat-sangat....lepas ni boleh la cari utk the 2As pulak kan...tapi diaorang nak yang Hannah Montana tu....siap berkilat2 glossy lagik tu...hehehehe sesuai ke nak pakai dgn baju kebaya raya nnt...hentam saja la eh.....;)

Budak Demam

2009-08-05T20:35:00.000-07:00

Beginilah rupanya budak demam, buah hati kesayangan mama yang sudah nampak gayanya kembali aktif hari ini. Alhamdulillah....nasib baik la dia nak makan ubat, jenuh semalam nak paksa makan ubat tapi dia nak ubat demam sahaja....bila petang dah tak larat batuk² dan sakit tekak barula dia nak makan ubat selsema, batuk + kahak....tapi antibiotik still dia tak nak makan...tak sedap katanya......

Tapi yang cutenya semalam lepas makan ubat batuk je bising dia soal kenapa ubat ni tak lawan kuman² batuk ni lagi....terpaksa la jawab kena makan dua tiga kali baru la berkesan....hehehe!

Sebenarnya masa nak paksa dia makan ubat sebelumnya tu, jenuh kc dok memujuk kata ubat batuk ni mcm dlm iklan vitagen or yakult tu....bila kita minum nnt kat dalam badan kita, ubat ni akan lawan kuman² yang ada....kalau tak cakap macam tu sure dia tak minum ubat tu.....hehehe!

Alhamdulillah budak kecik ni dah lega....dan dah tak sabar nak join sports day ahad ni...tp dah dua hari tak pi prektis ni boleh ke nak join....? ;)

Luahan Perasaan

2009-08-04T17:55:00.000-07:00

Penatnya saya hari ni! Dua hari lepas kena cirit birit, hari ni yang kecik Amelyn pula demam panas.....aduiiii mana dengan maid takde pulak, terpaksa la kembali menyental tandas, basuh + gosok baju....mana dengan nak edit gambar + album lagi! huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....bikin saya cukup tensi hari ini.....!! Baru ingat nak jenjalan cuci mata tapi apakan daya I'll be at home nursing the little one today.....saja tak nak bagi mama shopping yeh...hehehe! ;);)

Anyway, this weekend Amelyn bakal menghadiri Sports Day dia yang pertama tapi memandangkan tengah demam, risau pula nak bagi dia join....tapi kalau tak bagi join kesian pulak sebab dah siap beli kasut baru lagi utk hari sukan nanti....hmmm...tgklah kalau sembuh boleh la join ye Alin cayang....tp janji kena makan ubat! ;)

Hmm...tak lama lagi je dah nak puasa kan, kejap je rasanya.....rasanya kebanyakkannya dah siap beli ataupun tempah baju raya kan.....as for us, the 2As dah siap tempah baju kurung, dresses pun dah beli sponsored by yaya.....blouse dah beli.....cuma tengah mencari kasut raya + seluar khaki je untuk the 2As...as for mama, tak kisah la janji pakai je apa yang ada....daddy lagila sempoi.....ntah baju raya tahun lepas je yg dia pakai nnt....hehehe!

Tapi teringin juga nak merasa pakai baju sedondon ....ntah bila la impian ni akan menjadi realiti.....

Ini semuanya gara-gara berphotoshoot dengan Erna & family last weekend.....

What a happy and photogenic family kan! From the beginning lagi memang Erna is one of the supporters throughout my journey as a photographer and I thank her for that....for keeping faith in me...and that's what has gotten me this far...Alhamdulillah....thank you my dear....

Cadangnya nak buat kat KL tapi sayangnya masa tu ada demonstration ISA kat tempat lokasi where we were supposed to shoot....so terpaksa relocate to Pullman Putrajaya....mmg cantik sangat tempat ni sesuai for short getaway.....walaupun tempatnya baru lagi...bau cat pun kuat lagi but at least the other facilities dah ada like kids club and so on.....hmmm...mmg wajib kena pergi juga satu hari nnt.....insya-Allah.....:)

Anyone else up for Raya photoshoot? hehehe.....just call me ya...:)

FUNFAIR

2009-07-26T20:32:00.000-07:00

the 2As @ funfair Balakong

Alia @ helicopter ride

Amelyn chose to sit this one out, she's keeping her token for the ducks!

Setelah sekian lama dok nampak lampu laser berkilauan di langit, akhirnya malam Jumaat yang lepas Alia dan Amelyn berjaya juga memujuk Yaya dan mama untuk menjejakkan kaki ke pesta riang ria....hehehe....fun fair la tu....saja nak release tension dah seminggu penat bekerja + bersekolah kan....:)

Tapi indah khabar dari rupa....sungguh tak ku sangka zaman funfair yg dulu-dulu dah tiada...sekarang ni dah tak main dah satu dua token...paling kurang pun 3 token.....sabar je la, dah almost harga mcm kat Genting pula kaedahnya.....tapi yang paling mahal naik benda alah bulat yang memusing2 tu....sorang ja kena sampai 4 token, dah empat beranak total sampai RM 16....huhuhu....sabar je la kan...tp takpela nak puaskan hati budak² ni ikut je la...hehehe! lagipun dah bertahun tak pi funfair.....

the 2As with their "catch" of the day

Dah abis duit naik train dgn helicopter, the 2As mencuba pula nasib kat tempat menjala itik...hehehe! kalau dulu-dulu siap dapat mug cantik² tp kali ni cuma dapat mug kecik + patung itik je....jadik la tu...tp dlm hati mmg tak geram gak sbb main tu pun je dah 3 token....sabar je la.....lepas ni mmg takde la nak pi dah funfair tu....huhuhu! Baik ajak dd pi Genting lagi macam nih....hehehe! :)

DEMAM

2009-07-22T18:04:00.000-07:00

+- 10 hrs sebelum demam bersama-sama bb Riyyan @ Yaya+Lana's Pyjama Party

Setelah sekian lama tak demam, akhirnya rebah juga yours truly sampai 2 hari berturut-turut.....inilah dia akibatnya bila mandi lewat malam dan juga keluar makan pkl 3 pagi...hehehe! Cadangnya nak puasa hari Isnin lepas jadi pergi la sahur pkl 3 pagi tu...agaknya kena embun pagi kot terus lepas tu rasa seram sejuk tp still teruskan juga berpuasa sampaila pkl 6 ptg tu dah tak larat sgt...temperature badan pun dah naik....lepas buka puasa je kuatkan semangat pergi jumpa doktor...biasanya kat klinik tu pakai kad under nama my hubby, clerk tu pun buka la nak check history pesakit² dlm kad tu...dia tanya nama "Aiza Alia ke?"..."tak itu nama anak"....cari-cari lagi...."Aiza Amelyn ke?"..."tak tu anak sorang lagi, rasanya takde kot nama akak dlm tu dik"....hehehe! mmg biasa kalau sakit sikit2 tu cukup malas nak pi klinik...lagi senang beli ubat je kat farmasi....

Tapi kali ni rasa lain macam sket, almaklumlah wiken lepas tu bertugas kat tmpt yg ramai orang takut juga kot-kot berjangkit virus apa-apa kan...Alhamdulillah doc cleared out any possibilities...cuma flu biasa je.....siap bagi multi vit lagi....hahaha! terasa mcm budak-budak pulak.....so mmg la lepas ni harus jaga kesihatan diri sendiri....kena cari supplements like vit dan sebagainya....

Any suggestions?

Raising a Sensitive Child

2009-07-08T21:58:00.000-07:00

Do you have a sensitive child?

I think I do.

I have a Scorpion child whom is extremely strong willed and powerful by nature. And they suggested me to discipline her. But I don't think that's the right way to go about it.

Is it because of the peer/school pressure that she had been throwing tantrums lately? Or is it just a phase of growing up? Either way, she got me at the end of my wit!

And today I did some readings, and I hope I could get some reasonable answers...:)

Raising a Sensitive Child

by Sue Douglass Fliess

Anxiety, All Other Emotions

He cries at the drop of a hat – or a toy, in this case. She crumbles if you raise your voice at her, even slightly. He seems to have a bionic sense of smell. Before you write your child off as a drama queen, consider the fact that this behavior may be innate. Research by Dr. Elaine Aron shows that a high degree of sensitivity is often a physiological reality with which some children are born. Despite what other parents may tell you, it’s not due to a deficiency in confidence or social skills, and it’s certainly not something you as parents have, or ever had, control over.

Sensitive children have different, or perhaps more exaggerated, reactions to things. They don’t act the way you’d expect a typical child should in many situations. Unfortunately, in our society, this is often seen as weakness. But according to Jeremy G. Schneider, a MFT (marriage and family therapist), it’s just the opposite. Says Schneider, “The reality is that sensitive children have a gift. They are able to experience the world at a higher level than average children.”

What earmarks a child as ‘highly sensitive’? Highly sensitive children may exhibit one or all of the following traits. Schneider explains that the key is to notice a pattern of behavior, as well as the degree to which a child exhibits one or more of the following:

Is your child highly sensitive to his/her senses? An excellent sense of smell or hearing? Very sensitive to pain?

Does your child get emotionally overwhelmed easily? Does she feel a wide, yet intense range of emotions? Does she sometimes get so excited she withdraws?

Does your child have a depth greater than his peers, or even adults? Does he ask profound questions, think a lot on his own or reflect on his experiences?

Is your child highly aware of her surroundings? Does she notice when small household items are moved or minor changes in others, like a haircut?

Is your child very sensitive to other people’s emotions? Does he notice when someone is feeling sad and try to help him? Does he seem especially sensitive to the feelings of animals?

Realizing your child is highly sensitive can be tough. Not tough to understand, but tough to swallow. Don’t dismay. It is better that you know early and take steps toward helping him deal with his world going forward. Schneider offers these tips to parents to help their children maintain their sensitivity and confidence without making them feel they are not like other kids:

1. First, adjust your behavior, not your child’s. Don’t try to force her to adapt to society’s demands.

2. Love and accept your sensitive child unconditionally. You cannot change who he is. He needs to know you love him no matter how he perceives or reacts to the world.

3. Become partners. Work with your child to create ways to interact with the world safely. For instance, she’ll likely have an easier time interacting with classmates 1:1 than in larger groups, so set up individual play dates so she gets comfortable with several classmates.

4. Focus on strengths. Sensitivity is practically a stigma in the U.S. and it’s important not to “label” your child. Help him understand that he experiences the world more deeply than most children, and help him see the strengths associated with this. He may:
a. Notice things most people don’t
b. Have a better imagination
c. Focus or concentrate better
d. Be a gifted student
e. Empathize and be sensitive to others

5. Make small changes. If you need to make changes to your child’s environment, make them little by little. She will feel less overwhelmed.

6. Nudge, don’t push. Most highly sensitive children get easily distressed when they have to make a decision. They often reject opportunities out of fear. Sometimes the best thing you can do is nudge your child to take a risk or try something new. The same goes for punishment. He’ll respond better to you gently correcting his behavior, rather than yelling at him.

If your highly sensitive child knows you will be there for him and love him no matter what he is feeling, he’ll have less hesitation in new situations, and will be less self-conscious or risk-averse. If he knows you’re not going to push him to be something he’s not, you’ll both be a lot more relaxed and prepared for the road ahead. So help your child deal with the world and all the unexpected noise and upset it can throw out at us. Highly sensitive or not, all children need that parental security blanket every now and then.

Please forgive me...

Ya ampun....

This was last Saturday, we were supposed to go to a wedding.....tapi sayangnya salah tgk date kat kad dan akhirnya terpaksa lunch kat the Chicken Rice Shop, Tesco Kajang.....bayangkan betapa segannya kitaorang masa tu, especially mama la...sebabnya dah siap berbaju kurung semua tapi kena makan kat situ sahaja...sure ada yang cakap dalam hati "derang ni tak cukup ke makan kat kenduri tadi"...kalau tak pun.."hmmm ni mesti kes salah tengok kad jemputan ni"....hahahaha! sabar je la....tapi dah cukup menjadi pengajaran next time wajib dan harus baca kad jemputan dengan teliti! Melepas nak makan lauk kenduri...huhuhuhu.....!!!

GOOFILY FUN!

2009-07-02T00:40:00.000-07:00

Bila dah takde kerja, makan cukup dan hati senang.....tibala masa untuk bergumbira kan! hahaha!

Anyway, here are the 3 of us playing goofy in front of the camera, masa ni dah nak tido dah...tapi masing-masing belum mengantuk lagi so melayan je la kerenah mama photog ni...hahaha! Dah lama simpan gambar ni tp tak terlayan nak buat scrapbook layout sehingga la ke hari ni....itupun pakai template yang dah sedia ada dan masukkan je apa elements yg dah siap download minggu lepas.....sekrg ni dah ada banyak masa lapang ni baru la boleh nak concerntrate balik on digital scrapbooking ni...cuma nak kena cari external hard disk je ni utk buat storage...hehehe!

my lovely pet

Oh ya...hari ni dah dapat results exam Amelyn....sungguh tak percaya dan tak sangka, dia dapat no. 5 dalam kelas dia...sampaikan cikgu dia pun puji Amelyn ni anak yang rajin dan bijak. So dalam kereta pun dok belek-belek la kertas exam dia, ada yang dia dapat full marks. Rupa-rupanya bila ditanya katanya cikgu yang tolong terangkan macam mana nak buat, memanglah boleh dapat full marks mcm tu kan...tak aci tul...hehehe! Tapi tu la Amelyn ni pandai bodek cikgu dia, bila dengan cikgu dia cakap bukan main lemah lembut lagi....memang betul-betul teacher's pet anak mama yang seorang ni! Hehehe! ;)

On the other note, insya-Allah sepanjang bulan ini LBS photography akan mengadakan promosi "family portraiture" yang berkonsepkan Aidil Fitri....so do watch this space, I'll update you guys with the details later on....:)

KUMON

2009-06-30T23:14:00.000-07:00

Last night was their first day @ KUMON.

Alhamdulillah. So far so good. :)

Rasanya maybe sebab both of them starts at easier level so that's why they've been enjoying the classes so far. I'm not expecting miracles in just few days sebab memang instuctor situ pun dah cakap it can take a while for the kids to get used to the KUMON tapi once diaorg dah grasp the basic idea, insya-Allah they will be motivated to do better and achieve their personal goal.

One thing I like about KUMON is their method which is simple and easy to understand. Lagi satu konsep masa yang amat ditekankan dalam setiap kelas, di mana secara tak langsungnya akan mendisiplinkan anak-anak ini untuk belajar dengan usaha mereka sendiri.

Bukan nak promote tapi this is what I believe the best for both Alia and Amelyn right now. Nak suruh mama dia ajar Math harus ada yang kena pakai pembaris panjang sambil mengajar! Memang menduga kesabaran dan kepintaran kalau nak mengajar anak sendiri nih kan...harap-harap dalam sebulan dua ni nampakla improvements especially Alia yang sampai sekarang nak mengira still nak pakai jari tangan semua yg ada kalau boleh...hehehe! As for Amelyn, saja nak start awal so nanti bila dah sekolah dia dah ada basic Math skills. Insya-Allah...:)

Gerek Seh!

2009-06-29T00:49:00.000-07:00

Getting ready to rock and roll..hehehe!

Here we come....

Inilah dia hobi terbaru Daddy Own dgn Alia & Amelyn....mama not included sebab tak pandai nak mengayuh that thingy lagi...jadi penumpang boleh la..hahaha! Jenuh juga rupanya nak mengayuh beskal ni...apatah lagi bila nak kena naik bukit...bisa semput dibuatnya! But there is no easy way to lose weight kan...kena la bersusah² sikit barula nampak kesannya...hehehe!

Ada yang berani nak mencuba? Mehla ke rumah...hehehe! ;) :)

Hot Mama Contest

2009-06-27T22:34:00.000-07:00

Ramai betul yang anjurkan contest kebelakangan ni kan....terpanggil nak join this one selepas tengok entry kat blog Puteri Mona...bukannya apa, terkenang masa tengah pregnant dulu...ehehe! Kena pula last week baru terbaca satu article dalam magazine "Parents" yang bertajuk "Are we Done?" yang mana mengenai kisah sepasang suami isteri yang sepakat untuk stop at no 2....tapi dalam diam-diam si isteri tau it's not the last one for her dan akhirnya dia telah menyimpan semula 1st bday party cap anaknya yang kedua ke dalam kotak.....di jauh sudut hati dia, dia tau she's not done yet....and that's exactly how i feel right now...

Yes, I am ready for the 3rd one tapi bila masanya terserah kepada Allah swt. Bukannya tak mencuba tapi kadang-kadang tu tak nak terlalu menaruh harapan yang tinggi nanti kecewa dibuatnya tiap-tiap bulan menantikan saat-saat itu.....yang pastinya kenangan semasa mengandungkan kedua-dua Alia & Amelyn masih segar di ingatan......

Masa mengandungkan Alia rasanya tak banyak sangat dugaan, cuma tak tahan night sickness dan juga bau nasi lemak...bekas makanan yg putih apa tu styrofoam dgn plastik bag....dan yang pastinya masa ni suka sangat makan chinese food + fast food, esp McD! Sebab tu agaknya dia pun ada iras-iras chinese...hehehe!

Masa mengandungkan Amelyn pun takde yang out of ordinary, cuma masa ni suka sangat makan pasta. Almost everyday pi cari spaghetti kat Pizza Hut, masa tu mmg kerja dpn PizzaHut pun..hehehe...dan lagi satu masa ni paling suka sangat makan buah pear! Sebab tu yang keluar pun comey jek mcm buah pear kan....hehehe! ;)

Anyway, to Mummy Qis, terima kasih kerana menganjurkan contest ini..sedikit sebanyak mengingatkan kembali nostalgia indah semasa mengandungkan kedua-dua puteri tercinta yang kini dah pun besar panjang dan sememangnya sudah cukup bersedia untuk bergelar BIG SISTERS! ;

p/s

sowi takde gmbr yg clear zaman tu takde kamera canggih2 lagi..hehehe! kalau ada rezeki 3rd one harus la posing sakan nih..hehehehe!! ;);)

2009-06-25T00:08:00.000-07:00

It's been a liberating week....almost a week without Internet, rasa kurang sikit serabut kat kepala ni...tak tau la kenapa lately ni mudah sangat tersentuh perasaan ni...sampaikan benda kecik pun boleh jadi hal.....apapun let's get back to the story of 2As...

Finally, Alia dah dapat report card....dan keputusannya tidah mengecewakan....lega rasanya padahal mulanya memang dah suspense sangat...and it turned out pretty well, dia dpt 3As + 3Bs dan keseluruhannya dia dpt no 6 out ot 38.... Alhamdulillah...doaku dimakbulkan juga....dapat among Top 10 pun dah cukup bagus kan....cuma lepas ni nak kena push her Maths and Science mark sket lagi....dan dengan itu, I've decided to enroll her to KUMON and she'll be starting her Maths class pretty soon....accompanied by her sister of course...hehehe! Yang pentingnya sekarang ni for her to get a good basic counting skill and that's what KUMON is all about....so far so good masa orientation test hari tu pun dah dapat tentukan level dia...so i really hope she could cope with all her maths sheets coming soon....yang pastinya Alia and me really have to discipline ourselves this time....no more doing homeworks in front of TV for sure....hehehe!

As for Amelyn, I've just updated her birthday coverage in the entry below....as for her exam, tak sure pula resultsnya macam mana...tak dapat paper pun lagi tapi from what I heard she did ok....ye lah baru je masuk kan takkan nak expect good marks....tapi dia ni memang pandai ambil hati cikgu dia, ada harapan jadi teacher's pet nnt ni...hehehe!

And on other note, we found a new hobby....nak tau apa? tungggu......hehehehe! ;)

One clue though, it is a sweaty one! ;)

One Happy Camper

2009-06-17T00:52:00.000-07:00

She is indeed one happy camper, it's her 5th one and we went all out just to make her happy for her big day! :)

Pada mulanya memang bercadang nak buat birthday party for the lil one, tapi memandangkan budget lari sket bulan ni terpaksa la buat majlis kecil-kecilan sahaja...the first one was at her kindergarten...

her goody bag, mulanya nak buat sendiri tp yg sempat print label sahaja...hehehe...

Amelyn dah ready dgn her superheroes choc cake...

tapi sebelum tu kita baca doa dulu ya....

Excited semua kawan-kawan Amelyn bila kc sampai ke tadika pagi tu dengan 2 bakul goodies bag + kek....sampaikan ada yang dah tak boleh concentrate dengar ustazah mengajar...nasib baik la sampai elok2 time break, jadi diteruskan je dengan majlis harijadi Amelyn dulu. Dah selesai semuanya berhimpun kat dewan makan, majlis diteruskan dengan bacaan doa oleh Ustazah..sungguh menyentuh perasaan bila Ustazah mendoakan Amelyn supaya menjadi anak yang solehah....sememangnya Amelyn anak yang cukup baik dan sangat disayangi semua.....tak banyak kerenah dan pandai mengambil hati....oh! how i wish she will stay the same.....insya-Allah....

Dah abis nyanyi lagu birthday baru la boleh potong cake...

Punyala mencari mana bday girl, sekali tengok dia dah pi dok makan dengn geng2 dia....hehehe cian diaorg siap kena kongsi2 je makan cake tu....

Sedap jadinya bila makan beramai-ramai mcm ni....:)

Selepas doa, sampaila masanya untuk nyanyi lagu birthday dan juga potong kek....rasa mcm kecik sangat pula kek tu...tapi Alhamdulillah cukup-cukup ja untuk semua, tapi next year harus la kena beli yang besar sket....kesian pula tengok ada yang sampai menjilat jari lepas makan kek tu....anyway, terima kasih kepada Cikgu Ju dan semua tenaga pengajar yang ada pada hari itu.....Alhamdulillah majlis dapat berjalan dengan lancar....

Happy birthday once again my dear precious little angel....:)

Kangaq 0 km

2009-06-10T02:45:00.000-07:00

Finally after almost missing the train (Amelyn had a bad bout of stomach ache just about the boarding time) and a 12 hr journey, we made it to Kangar safe and sound!

Our journey started with a 30 minutes commuter ride from Kajang to Kl Sentral. The kids were totally excited and nothing could dampen their spirit even when they didn’t get seats until Bandar Tasik Selatan exchange. Memang betul seperti apa yang digambarkan dalam iklan LRT few years back di mana ada yang pura-pura tidur semasa my kids boarded the commuter. I wasn’t asking too much, though I was carrying like 3 bags at that time but hey, at least they could show some courtesy by asking the kids whether they want to sit down or not like one Indian uncle did. Tak sampai hati pula nak tengok uncle tu berdiri, so I just let the kids stand until the next station. It’s no biggie. Tapi nak juga lepas rasa tak puas hati!

Anyway, back to the real story. We reached KL Sentral with one more hour to kill. So we had our early dinner at Mc Donalds. And that was it before Amelyn kena attack dengan stomach ache. I had to leave Alia all alone outside the toilet while I had to attend to her sister. Memang panik juga sebab masa tu memang dah almost boarding time. But we did manage to board the train in time. Betul-betul lepas panggilan terakhir untuk Ekpress Langkawi. And as a result we had to go through several coaches until our seats. Penat tapi memang suatu pengalaman yang tak dapat dilupakan for the three of us.

We bought 4 seats for the trip, and Alia had 2 for herself. Mulanya dah siap nak tidur tapi after a while they were restless sampailah midnight baru both of them safely tucked for the night. It was indeed a long journey, the next morning I could see myself as Shrek in the scene where the Donkey kept asking “Are we there yet?”…when the kids kept asking those Qs sampaikan pening dibuatnya. At 8.00 something, finally we reached Arau. Lega rasanya bila dah nampak familiar faces dah siap stand by at the station.

And then the adventure began….

Memang tak cukup rasanya kalau balik kampung just for 4 days, yet we tried to make the fullest of it.

Day 1

Went to the playground as usual, kalau nak ikutkan memang masih penat lagi setelah berjalan jauh tapi biasalah kalau Alia + Amelyn dah jumpa sepupu sepapat yang lain semuanya belakang kira. They had a great time that evening walaupun ada yang masih lagi mengigil-gigil masa nak naik jambatan gantung tu…hehehe!

Day 2
I had a photoshoot session with my dearest Azfar Hazim somewhere at Gua Sami, which happened to be the same location for Jangan Pandang Belakang Congkak movie shoot…mendung sahaja cuaca pada pagi itu tapi sessi tetap diteruskan dengan birthday celebration for our birthday boy, Azfar yang memang cukup adorable that day. I missed you so much already my little one!

Day 3
The kids went for a haircut today, mulanya cousins diaorang sahaja yang due for haircut tapi ended up all five of them yang potong rambut that day. Siap ada yang minta haircut macam Snow White lagi! Hehehehe! The only thing missing was just the big red bow!

And later on that evening, we went to Padang Besar for a shopping + makan² trip. Wajib pergi sini setiap kali balik kampung, not much of shopping were done tapi the most important part for me is the makan² and the specialty here is Keow Teow Sup Siam which is hard to find it here in KL. Memang kalau pergi sini, satu mangkuk tu macam tak cukup sahaja. And it’s cheap too! Yummm..Yumm…Anyway, I did buy beautiful dresses for the kids.

Day 4

This is when it all started. Our day began with breakfast @ Hameed Nasi Kandar, in other word nasi ganja. True to the name, memang addicted kalau dah sekali pekena nasi ganja ni. Hehehe! Meanwhile for lunch, we went to two weddings. The first one is at Sg. Baru which happened to be my mother’s adopted daughter’s wedding. Memang suasana yang cukup berlainan dengan wedding kat sini, they had ikan keli bakar as the main dish. Hmmm….memang cukup menyelerakan….

And the second wedding is at my dad’s cousin house in Kuala Perlis. This time they had “Gulai Ikan Masin” which Alia loved so much that she ended up eating two plate full of rice! Hehehe! Nampak gayanya nak kena ambil resipi ni….;)

And for dinner, we had a seafood spread at Kuala Perlis again. This time we had Ikan Terubuk Bakar, Sotong Goreng Tepung + Ketam Goreng. Yummylicious to the crumbs I’d say! Sedap dan harganya amat berpatutan, walaupun that night we had to wait longer than usual since the place was totally crowded. After dinner, the kids persuaded me to join them on a horse ride by the sea. Kesian tengok kuda padi tu macam tak larat je, sampaikan Amelyn pun tak sanggup bila melihatkan dia kena pukul. But it was a good night nevertheless…and I’m craving for those crabs already!

Day 5

The day we went back home to KL. But before that, we just had to go to Kangaq first. Apa lagi untuk posing depan sign Kangaq 0 KM. Nasib baik masa tu traffic belum heavy lagi, kalau tak sure segan juga nak posing tengah-tengah bandar Kangar! Hehehe! Right after that we went to another wedding at Alor Setar before we headed home. This time tak sempat nak ambil gambar pengantin sebab diaorang belum lagi sampai pada masa tu. And then began a long journey back to KL in which we witnessed 3 accidents, endured long queues at Touch n Go + slow moving cars along the highway. We reached KL after 6 hours journey from Alor Setar. Took so much longer than usual, sampaikan lenguh-lenguh segala otot badan dibuatnya!

What a great trip it was! Short but memorable…insya-Allah we’ll back again for Raya. Hope we could stay longer that time….hehehe! :)

Away for Holiday!

2009-06-01T23:16:00.000-07:00

Yupp, you read that right. We’ll be away for a short break from tomorrow until 8.6.09 as we will be going back home to my hometown, Kangar for this school holiday after so long. Memang keputusan yang cukup “impromptu” sehinggakan tiket pun dibeli last minute. As a result, we are going back on a cho-cho train. It sure is going to be a longgggggg journey. I’m not sure how I would cope with the 2As along the way. Whatever it is, I just hope we will have a safe journey home, and I just couldn’t wait to see all my loved ones!

Happy Holiday, peeps! :)

Layang-layang terbang melayang....

2009-05-31T23:53:00.000-07:00

seblm pi main wajib la posing dulu...

tak sabar-sabar lagi Alia nak naikkan layang-layang dia...

masa ni angin pun takde susah tul nak naikkan layang-layang...

setelah mencuba beberapa kali baru la dpt naik....

sampai dah nak Maghrib baru la balik...

Akhirnya layang-layangku terbang jua....setelah sekian lama terperam layang-layang ni, akhirnya berjaya juga diterbangkan oleh Alia + daddy of course....hehehe! Kalau harap mama belum tentu la dpt naik..penat berlari je kot yg lebih....

2nd day trial...tak payah nak lari..terus ja leh naikkan layang-layang dah...

This was sometimes last week....a day before tu cuba juga tapi tak dpt naikkan sebab takde angin + kawasan pun penuh dgn semalu dan sebagainya....kesian budak-budak tak dpt nak main dengan selesa....so the next daynya main kat padang bola otw nak ke sekolah Alia....kena pula masa tu mmg tengah berangin, kejap je dah naik layang-layang diaorang.....best sangat! Dapat juga la Alia merasa main layang-layang...tapi sayangnya Ayin punya dah rosak....nanti la kalau ada yang gmbr ladybird baru mama beli gantikan ya.....;)

Gembiranya saya hari ini!

2009-05-28T00:56:00.000-07:00

Sebab apa? Sebabnya saya dah menang contest....yeayyyyyy!! Dah lama sangat tak menang apa-apa rasanyaa...kalau dulu ada la juga masuk contest kat AXN + Cleo dan dh pernah menang boxing glove from the Contender, few cosmetics item from CLeo...dan kali ni pula saja cuba-cuba masuk contest kat Women's Weekly.....ada la dekat 7-8 entries.... Alhamdulillah akhirnya berjaya juga dapat satu dan hadiahnya kali ini ialah BOSS Pure EDT 50ml worth RM 198....which would be perfect for my Big Boss this coming Father's Day...hehehe! Rezeki daddy......Alhamdulillah.....:)

So mommies...what are your plan this weekend? I know mine would be a hectic one....ada wedding on both Friday and Saturday....dan insya-Allah on Sunday I'll be doing some kids photoshoot with one of my bestest friends ever....hopefully kesemuanya akan berjalan dengan lancar, just hope my back pain would go away by tonite though....hehehe! Oh ya, lupa pula...cuti sekolah dah bermula, ke mana agaknya destinasi percutian kali ni ya? As for us, tak confirm lagi tapi insya-Allah we'll be going back to my hometown, Kangaq next week kalau takde aral melintang.....couldn't wait! Cuma tengah tunggu approval from the big boss je ni....hehehe! (Aiza, boleh la kitaorg join bday party Azfar nnt yeh?)

Haa..cakap apsal cuti sekolah sure ada yang tanya how's Alia results kan....to tell you the truth mmg a bit dissapointing tp it's me to be blame rasanya...not much preparation were done this time....but I'm just glad she did manage to get some As being English the highest one and Bahasa Arab as her weakest one....itu lah pro and cons nya hantar anak ke tadika yang English based kan...tapi tak pe we take this as a learning process....so dah tau kat mana kelemahan dia boleh la kita improve for the next one kan....insya-Allah.....:)

Okla peeps...panjang pula berbicara hari ni....hehehe....bukan senang nak tunggu turn pakai modem ni so mmg la kena gunakan betul-betul kan....anyway, have a great weekend everyone....:):)

2009-05-20T02:21:00.000-07:00

Some of you might not know this...yupp, I have my own online blog shop for kids' clothing...previously was known as bajubudak at fotopages. But since I've moved my 2As to blogspot, it just seemed right to move those into one place. Senang sket nak handle kan....

Anyway, this May we are clearing our stocks as to make space for more new items, so almost everything is on sales. Prices are reduced, and shipping fees are now free. So what are you guys waiting for? Head on to LittleSkittles Shop for more details now....:)

Exam lagi!

2009-05-18T07:11:00.000-07:00

It's going to be a very long week.

Bab Alia dah sudah...lepas ni Amelyn pula yang akan menghadapi peperiksaan penggal...and it's her FIRST one too...macam mana la agaknya, masuk sekolah pun dah lambat....risau juga mama dibuatnya, dahlah banyak pula tu subjek dia mengalahkan Alia sampaikan sekarang ni mama pun dah rasa macam cikgu tuisyen! Lepas satu paper ke satu paper, dari bahasa Melayu sampaila ke bahasa Arab semuanya nak kena cover dalam minggu ni....takut juga si kenit ni tak dpt jawab tapi mama harap dia dapat buat sebaik mungkin....insya-Allah...

Tak dapat nak cerita panjang kali ni...but I'll be back with more stories on the 2As's weekend's picnic ya....ala takde pi mana pun...cuma piknik2 kat Putrajaya je...itupun dapat lepak dalam 2 jam je...hehehe! Ok..."cikgu" nak kena kembali bertugas nih!....;)

p/s Yeay, Hafiz menang! Congrats, you totally deserved it!

Freebie Time!

2009-05-13T22:10:00.000-07:00

Dah lama rasanya tak buat scrapbook for the 2As, bila tengok balik dari starting blog ni almost every week ada je new scrapbook layouts for their album...tapi lately ni dah boleh bilang dengan jari je new layouts.... bukannya apa it's been ages since last kc shoot their pictures. Makin besar, makin jual mahal pula dua beradik ni...gambar kat atas ni pun masa last month, jenuh kena pujuk untuk posing....fenin..fenin dibuatnya! But at least, hey I got a picture to scrap with....hehehe!

Anyway, here's a freebie quickpage almost similar like the one above for all my wonderful readers out there...and need i remind you, it's for personal use only ya. Enjoy! ;)

it's Exam week!

2009-05-12T19:28:00.000-07:00

Yupp it's Midterm already, cepat kan masa berlalu....mulai dari semalam sampaila next Monday, Alia akan menghadapi ujian pertengahan tahun...macam mana la agaknya hari ni dengan test BM dan Agama...dahlah preparation pun tak seberapa, rasanya kita je yang push dia lebih tapi dia macam relax ja....maybe I'm so used to my dad's style of teaching tu yang it came out pretty hard in her....ya..ya i know I shouldn't be this harsh but I believe in starting it early....so nnt hopefully dia ada ada good basis for the future....

And I've made my decision...I'll be sending both Alia + Amelyn to KUMON by next month....hopefully Alia nak la sebab dah lama dah nak hantar tapi dia yang tak nak sampaikan tiap kali lalu dpn KUMON je siap dia tutup mata dengan tangan....tapi last few weeks dia dah tengok how her cousins enjoyed doing KUMON worksheets so much that dia sendiri yang minta nak pergi....baik la pi register cepat-cepat sebelum dia tukar fikiran kan...hehehe!!

Anyway here's her paper for pendidikan seni semalam, she got a B+ which is quite ok for her memandangkan this is not forte....hehehe! Cuma yang risau paper Math je, which I've been doing so many practices with her lately....jangan sampai masuk kelas lupa sudah la...or else mama pun leh jadi singa mcm mama rina san...hehehe! ;)

Ok got to get back to work....nak kena prepare BI worksheets pula for tomorrow's paper and then lepas tu nak kena masak mee rebus for daddy yang tengah mengidam...hehehe! ;)

Cya when i cya....

One Lucky Mommy

2009-05-12T02:08:00.000-07:00

So how’s your Mother’s Day? As for me, I was working on that day. But I did get a beautiful handmade card from Alia. We did have a nice dinner afterwards, and we did buy some cake for the day. The only thing missing was picture. I was too tired that day to even snap one. I’m not complaining, as it was a great day nevertheless….;)

Btw, the above pictures were taken by my friend Taufiq sometimes last August, it was a birthday present for myself since I didn’t get to take any pictures last Mother’s day. It was definitely a great and rare moment shared with my two girls. And for this year’s mother’s day scrapbook i just had to use the same pictures again, just to remind me how precious those moments were….and to remind myself i really had to shed these extra pounds i gained over the year….hehehe!

p/s Do check out my photography blog for awesome giveaway! :)

Nothing much but it's our lives :)

2009-05-05T20:18:00.000-07:00

Haa inilah dia rupanya karikatur yang dah siap diframekan....ingat nak gantung dlm bilik tp wajib la kena ambil gambar dulu kan.....semenjak berblog ni ramai kawan baru yang mama kenal....so it's just natural for me nak introduce my beloved 2As to those uninitiated....

My eldest one is Aiza Alia, who is now almost 7. Memang sifat anak sulung terserlah pada kak long Alia yang soft spoken, bertanggung jawab dan penyayang. Tahun ni dia dah masuk darjah 1, memang banyak pengalaman baru yang dia pelajari daripada macam mana nak berkawan sampaila nak beli barang kat kantin + kedai buku. Sampaikan kakak kat kedai buku tu pun dah kenal muka dia...apataknya tiap hari mesti ada je barang yang dia beli kat situ tak kirala buku 555 ke..pensil Princess ke....ataupun pemadam kartun yang memang dah pun sedia ada kat dalam beg...tapi tu la kak long Alia yang mmg cukup pemurah dan baik hati...memang menjadi kesayangan semua dalam rumah ni....:)

My second one is Aiza Amelyn who will be turning 5 next month. This one memang anak manja, all the time mesti nak clingy kat mama je. Tapi selalunya tak jadi nak marah sebab dia ni dalam manja-manja tu rajin la pula. Selalunya dia la yang tolong mama lipat + kemas baju...tak pun memasak. Teringat semalam masa nak masak, tengah dok kupas bawang sekali dia pi kupas juga...dah tu lap tangan kat muka...apalagi meleleh-leleh la air mata lepas tu....hehhe! sabar je la....haa tapi bagi siapa yang tak kenal tu, adik Amelyn ni la yang paling garang dalam rumah ni, selalunya kakak dia la yang jadi mangsa...kesian sangat....dan dia juga la yang paling cheeky sekali, kalau ikut kalendar cina tu dia lahir tahun monyet memang macam tu la perangai dia...so cheeky kadang2 ada je yang dia buat yang menggelikan hati kita.....and her laughs are infectious too! ;)

My other half is Azril bin Abdul Aziz, berasal dari Kajang. We met online through BBS masa tengah belajar. Masa tu dia kat Twintech, while I was at the other side of the globe...namely Milwaukee, USA....dan tahun ni merupakan our 10th year anniversary tapi kenal tu dah almost 13 years...macam-macam rintangan dan dugaan yang telah kami tempuhi, hati budi masing-masing pun dah boleh baca dah....tapi banyak lagi yang perlu kami perbaiki dan jalani untuk masa hadapan....mudah-mudahan rumahtangga yang dibina ini berkekalan hendaknya.....amin....:)

Last but not least, time nak introduce myself pula....nama saya Rumaizah binti Che Abdul Wahab tapi biasanya orang panggil Kak Chik ataupun KC je....tapi kalau tengok kat business card tu letak Aiza senang sket nak bagi orang ingat...hehehe! Berasal dari Perlis dan anak kedua dari tiga adik beradik yang mana semuanya perempuan....Tentang nama KC tu seingat-ingatnya la sejak masa dr sekolah lagi...masa tu ada adik angkat nama KB, so ada la kawan2 yang saja tukar nama Kak Chik jadi KC....tu yg terusnya melekat sampai sekarang...sampaikan kawan-kawan yang mana kenal kat Internet pun dah panggil KC je...hehehe! Pekerjaan utama sebagai surirumah mmg yang ni yg always come 1st...secondly as a photographer for our own company which is MyShotsWedding yang bertempat di Kajang ni....mulanya dulu memang tak berani nak cuba bidang ni, tapi since my dearest hubby buat videography for weddings, so dia la yang cadangkan why not buat photo sama....sejak dari tu la terjebaknya ke dalam bidang ni, and now dah almost masuk tahun ke 3 secara seriusnya.....but my passion lies with kids photography, memang bukan senang nak ambil gambar budak-budak ni tapi that's the challenge kan.....dan tahun ni merupakan a new beginning for me when I started a blog for all my works on kids/family portraiture namely LittleBigShots...why this name? Sebab bunyi macam cute dan nak juga ada kesinambungan dari our big Co....apapun kc sangat-sangat menaruh harapan yang besar semoga segala impian untuk my LittleBigShots ini akan menjadi realiti walau macam mana susah pun......berkat doa dan usaha, insya-Allah anything is possible kan...:)

Hmm itu la dia serba sedikit tentang our small family.....it's nothing much but it's our lives....dan salam perkenalan buat teman-teman siber baru.....:)

p/s Thanks Nadyne for the award tu...nnt kc buat entry for that ya....:):)

Lil Missy Acting Out Her Boredom!

2009-05-04T23:48:00.000-07:00

She was tired.
She was bored.
She was sleepy.
She was cranky.
She was hungry.
She was thirsty.

But still she gave her best when asked to pose for Mama! :)

Masa ni mama dengan Amelyn kat sekolah Alia sementara tunggu dia habis pertandingan mewarna masa hari sukan yang lepas. penat dah kitaorg menunggu so apalagi mama pun dera la Amelyn posing...nasib baik dapat juga la 4-5 keping yang senonoh...the rest semua muka dia dah merah padam + marah + penat dah tunggu kak long.....hehehe! takpela dik, nnt sports day adik pun mesti mama dgn kak long tunggu macam ni juga ok.....;)

One more thing, you guys should really check out this blog : http://lailasewing.blogspot.com/
There is a special giveaway going on which i just found out....and it's totally worth it!

Suka sangat tengok kaum ibu yang pandai menjahit ni...beruntung anak-anak siap dapat hasil kerja tangan penuh kasing sayang by their own mum....oh, how i wish i could sew too! ;)

p/s Cik As tak nak buka kelas ke? hehehe.....

KLCC - CM - PWTC - IJN

2009-05-03T21:46:00.001-07:00

It has been ages since my last update kan....so sorry guys but there has been some unexpected important family matters that i had to attend to, insya-Allah after this everything will be back to normal.....

Last few weeks memang cukup menguji kekuatan kami sekeluarga anak beranak bila mak terpaksa keluar masuk IJN beberapa kali, walaupun belum dapat disahkan lagi tapi ianya memang satu pengalaman yang amat meresahkan bagi kami semua.....yang pastinya mengejutkan kami semua di mana as some of you might know, our mak is one lil active lady yang memang tak pernah nak duduk diam....dan bila things like this happened you suddenly had no idea how to face it....insya-Allah she will be fine berkat doa semua keluarga dan sahabat handai......

Back to the 2As, last week Alia had her 1st annual sports....punyala bersemangat kitaorg semua pergi nak support dia sekali rupa-rupanya dia tak masuk acara apa pun...sabar je la...cuma masuk pertandingan mewarna je.....itupun takde menang apa-apa....but nevertheless it was a good exposure for her and her lil sis yang siap ponteng sekolah nak pi hari sukan kat sekolah alia....hehehe!

Amelyn with Abang One

Alia with Abang Oly
http://www.olylukis.blogspot.com/

And before that we also went to Pesta Buku again....this time memang puasa jalan-jalan sebab dah tau dah mana arah yang nak dituju...as for Daddy, it was his day la sebab dia dapat berjumpa dengan jutawan Malaysia, En. Azizi Ali....siap dapat bergambar lagi....as for me, tak sempat nak tengok apa pun cuma sempat beli buku latihan untuk Alia dan juga one magic painting book for Amelyn.....and for the rest of the trip, we did some caricatures for the 2As.....dah lama teringin nak abadikan gambar diaorg ni dalam bentuk lukisan tapi tak pernah ada kesempatan......kebetulan masa last day tu dapat juga buat karikatur for both girls...gambar Amelyn dilukis oleh abang One, kartunis Gila-Gila dan gambar Alia pula dilukis oleh abang Oly....both caricatures memang cukup cantik! I just love all the cute little details....tapi yang pastinya both caricatures dah siap masuk frame and ready to be hanged! Those would be great for their room...hehehe! mama yg excited sebenarnya......Anyway, to One and Oly...thank you for the great caricatures, the girls love them so much! :):)

The day before we went to Pesta Buku, mama and Yaya took both 2As on a rather eye opening ride throughout KL...specifically KLCC and Central Market.....seronok sangat bila sampai ke Central Market yang sememangnya suatu tempat yang cukup unik dan penuh dengan karya seni yang sangat menawan....terasa macam pelancong asing pun ada bila naik rambang mata melihatkan pelbagai kraftangan yang comel-comel, ended up beli juga keychains for the 2As, rantai for my ever growing props, kipas tangan yang dibaluti kain batik dan juga dompet duit kain batik for myself....Yang pastinya, I got so inspired with the whole new, colourful and artful environment sampaikan terasa macam nak pergi je lagi... and it was totally worthwhile the journey...walaupun kena berdiri dalam LRT dgn the 2As sampai fenat2 kitaorang dibuatnya.....;)

As for this week, tak tau lagi ke mana langkah 2As seterusnya....tapi dah lama sangat tak pi family trip....hmm...kalau dpt pegi mandi manda kat tepi pantai pun best ni....hehehe! Apapun, to all my dearest friends....happy mother's day in advance.....just in case kalau tak dpt online lagi lepas ni baik wish awal-awal....i hope all of you will have a great one this weekend...as for me, I have a wedding to attend to....insya-Allah.....

Till then....:)

Budak Masham

2009-04-21T23:01:00.000-07:00

Inilah rupa budak masham yang baru balik sekolah dan kepenatan....lega sangat bila dua-dua dah bersekolah, at least dapat juga la 2-3 jam pada waktu pagi for myself untuk siapkan kerja apa-apa yang patut.....

Bila anak-anak dah besar ni, soalan yang kerap diajukan bila nak ada no. 3? Hmm..bukannya tak nak tapi belum ada rezeki....early this year, memang dah mencuba tapi belum nampak bayang-bayang hasilnya lagi tapi tak tau la kadang-kadang tu pun rasa mcm dah just nice ja dah dengan 2As ni, lagipun macam berat sikit nak start all over again....kalau ikutkan 2As ni ok je, pantang nampak baby sure sibuk nak ajak main....tapi yelah tu baby orang kan...kalau ada adik sendiri lum tentu la macam mana kan...hehehe!

Tak kisahla ada ke takde asalkan we're happy with what we have now....yang pastinya sana sini kawan-kawan + ex-clients we all ramai yang baru bergelar sebagai ibu bapa, apapun congratulations......rindu pula rasanya bau baby yang fresh tu kan......sekarang ni bila dah besar-besar ni bau masham ada ler! hehehe! masham-masham best gitu.....;)

Hopefully that answers those Qs for a while...dah penat dengan false alarms + high hopes....to be or not to be semuanya kuasa Tuhan....insya-Allah.....:)

Ntah apa la blabbing pula arini yeh...layan je la.....mengantuk pun ye juga ni semlm dpt tidur 3 jam je....huhuhu.....back to work again.....cu peeps tmrw ya....:)

Jump with Joy!

2009-04-20T19:10:00.000-07:00

When you are allowed to do something forbidden, memang itulah yang paling menyeronokkan....and this case, jumping on just made bed! ...normally I'd be on top of toes already but not today.....with so much going on around lately, what the heck....sometimes you just have to let loose otherwise memang tension dibuatnya! Seronok pula tengok Alia melompat-lompat atas katil....and I get to take her pictures too! Dah lama tak dapat nak ambil gambar kak long yang sekarang ni dah cukup susah nak bergaya depan kamera unless kena "rasuah"....hehehe and this time, mama kena janji bawak dia pi Pesta Buku...which we already did go to yesterday....memang rushing betul, tak sampai 1 hour lagi kitaorang dah kena balik dr situ sebab daddy takut stuck in jam nanti lepas orang keluar opis...memang record time la! rasanya tak pernah orang pi Pesta Buku dalam masa sejam je kan...tak puas rasanya nak ronda semua stalls.....

But the kids had fun nevertheless....Amelyn dapat 8 buah buku cerita @ RM 1.00 each sementara kak long Alia pula dapat 7 hard cover story books @ RM 4.00 only! Best kan...memang berbaloi betul....itupun sempat jalan-jalan kat area tingkat 1 je....belum lagi ronda kat tingkat atas....tapi terkilan betul tak belikan buku latihan untuk Alia semalam....banyak betul pilihan cuma tak sempat nak tengok betul-betul mana satu yang sesuai....maybe this weekend I'd have to go again and this time memang nak kena cari educational books pula....including one or two for me.....;)

Oklah peeps...back to work and my duties...loads of it....fenats but this is life kan! never cease to test your limits....;) :)

Amelyn hearts Troy

2009-04-09T19:45:00.000-07:00

Just caught the flu bug.
Will be away to Seremban for a wedding job this weekend.
And tomorrow will be going to a pool party!
I hope I'll get well soon enough though...;)
Oh ya, that's Troy from HSM.
An odd choice?
But she loves it!
One day, caught her peeking into the pants.
I went Haipppppppppppppppp!!!
You are so cheeky, my lil one.
But please don't ever do that again ok ;)
Anyway, have a good weekend my lovely peeps.
As for now, I'm having a cup of chamomile tea :)

Happy Birthday Mak!

2009-04-08T00:37:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday yang ke 61 to our dearest Mak.

To those uninitiated, this is my dearest mom in law. Semenjak dr awal kawin lagi memang dah stay bersama-sama dengan keluarga sebelah my hubby. Walaupun pada awalnya memang sedikit kekok tapi lama kelamaan Alhamdulillah susah senang memang dihadapi bersama. Dan yang pastinya Alia dan Amelyn cukup manja dibesarkan di bawah jagaan Mak dan juga mama.....

So last Sunday, we decided to give her a grand celebration @ Madam Kwan, Midvalley...though it was just a cake and 6 candles, she had the grandest time so far this year.

2009-04-07T19:00:00.000-07:00

This one lil girl is all about Barbies! Haa setakat ni inilah dia collection Barbie yang Amelyn ada, so far ada 3 lagi yang masih intact dlm kotak...sayang nak buka maa! one of them is the Supergirl edition from aunty Akma...yg tu harus la simpan dalam kotak nnt kalau buka ada yag hilang kang....among them all yang paling istimewa had to be the Photographer Barbie + Birthday Barbie....memang yang tu je la yang dia dok main tiap hari...tp kan rasanya Photographer Barbie tu mcm hadiah alia je kan...hehehe! Takpela...sharing is caring kan....;)

Hmm in next 2 months, she'll be celebrating her 5th birthday....kali ni tak tau la apa pula demand dia kali ni......;);)

The birthday girl...

Happy 5th birthday Sofea!

Masa ni tengah beratur nak main games...

Yang ni pula masa nak fashion show for best-dressed..

Bercerita pasal birthday, last two weeks the 2As sempat pergi ke birthday party Ameeyrah Sofea @ KFC Carrefour Ampang walaupun masa tu Alia tengah demam² tapi kesian pula tu nak tinggalkan dia sorang²...and this time the party's theme was stripes! Nasib baik the 2As dah mmg ada stripey tees.....masa sampai masing2 baru warm up dgn sofea.....bila dah lama tu sampai mama pun diaorang dah tak nampak.....anyway thanks to Aunty Najwa for inviting us....we had so much fun that day and we do hope Sofea will love the birthday gift tu ya....:):)

A lil bit about Alia

2009-03-28T19:41:00.000-07:00

She's not feeling so well today....she had to missed two birthday parties altogether this weekend...kesian sangat, takpela alia once dah sembuh nnt kita pi jalan-jalan ok. Anyway, before last school break she had her very 1st exam....and last week finally dah dapat all the results. Not too bad, except for Math. But overall she scored 90 above and she even got full mark for her Agama paper...and it was the 1st paper yang dia tunjuk masa dapat balik semua exam papers....hehehe! cayalah Alia....

Tapi sayang sangat bila tengok paper Maths yang mana kebanyakkan yang dia buat salah tu was just simply matter of careless mistakes which can be avoided if she had concerntrated the night before masa ulangkaji....sayang sangat...tapi takpela this was her 1st one....lepas ni mmg kena strict sket la....tak nak dia ketinggalan dalam kelas lagi...no berapa dalam kelas? hmm tak sure pula....takde pula dpt report card dr cikgu dia....tak kisahla janji she got As for all the papers jadi la...hehehe!

Oh ya, gambar kat atas ni masa sambutan maulidur Rasul kat sekolah TKP...isn't she adorable? my very own version of "Orked"....comel je tengok dia berbaju kurung lengkap bertudung mcm tu....sejuk je rasa hati kan....hehehe!

Okayla have to get back to my lil patient....nak bawak dia pergi klinik kejap..hopefully nothing too serious.....

Amelyn's 1st Crush

2009-03-27T20:17:00.000-07:00

hehehe...ha'ah ini la dia buah hati Amelyn buat masa ni, pantang je nampak dalam paper sure dia cakap "eh tu gmbr abang ayin"...sejak bila pula la dah pandai ada abang² angkat ni yeh...hmmm actuallynya pix ni masa kitaorg pergi Ikea Sales....lepas tu sempat la pi jalan-jalan cuci mata kat the Curve, sekali jalan² kat Border nampak satu stall yg jual wedges yang comel-comel belaka...masa tu tak perasan lagi lepas tu baru la Amelyn cakap yang jual kat situ abang Impak Maksima....baru la nampak Awal kat situ..memang cukup friendly dan sporting sangat! Siap dia tanya Amelyn sapa nama dia dlm cerita tu...tp spoil la, boleh plak dia tak ingat jawapan masa tu...hehehe...so nmpk obvious la mak dia yglagi over excited nak ambil gmbr sebenarnya....hehehe! anyway, thanks Awal for this snapshot...certainly made our day....:):)

We are back!

2009-03-24T16:24:00.000-07:00

Yehaa...we are back though we are not fully networked yet, but this is the best thing we could do so far....masa call TM aritu diaorg kata kat sini dah takde port utk phone and that's why tak dpt masukkan streamyx jadi buat masa ni terpaksa la berpindah to maxis buat sementara waktu....tapi terpaksa la guna bergilir-gilir sebab tak dpt nak figure lagi macam mana nak buat wireless....hehehe! anyway back to the 2As....

There has been so much going on....Alia with her 1st exam, Amelyn with her new school...tapi kita cerita satu..satu dulu ok....and as for a start, here's astory of a little girl at her new school....

Dah besar dah anak mama yang sorang ni kan...

It wasn't my 1st choice, but one thing for sure she is happy and that is all matters....

1st day lagi dah dapat kawan, on her left side...namanya Adik...

Standard pose, nasib baik cikgu Ju tak nampak ni.....;)

Alhamdulillah her 1st day went on smoothly, early morning lagi dia dah bangun so excited to go to the new school....by 8.00 something kitaorang dah sampai, dah siap bayar yuran terus dia minta uniform sebab tengok kawan-kawan dia semuanya pakai uniform....tapi cian dia terpaksa pakai uniform besar sikit sbb yang tinggal size L sahaja....tapi kira ok la sbb Amelyn ni tinggi juga orangnya cuma badan je yg petite sket....hehehe.....

Haah, saja je hantar Amelyn kat tadika lain..kalau Alia dulu kat QDees, Amelyn pula kat Tadika Pasti As-Syakirin.....walaupun bukan my 1st choice, tapi Alhamdullilah so far dia dapat sesuaikan diri cuma ada kadang-kadang tu ada beberapa subjek yang dia tak berapa faham...but it's a good start kan....

full of concentration....

baca doa makan dulu..nampak sedap je nasi lemak diaorg ni....

Bye mama...

On her 1st day tu cuma tunggu sampai time break je, dah tgk dia selesai makan semua baru la tinggalkan.....lagipun tengok dia dah dapat sesuaikan diri, dah siap ada kawan yang bagi gula-gula lagi....hehehe! lega rasanya...and one thing for sure, she's totally happy in her new environment! :)

Katak di bawah tempurung

2009-03-15T12:06:00.000-07:00

Literally, that is what i felt right now....mmg tension semenjak takde phone line kat rumah ni, nak buat kerja pun takde mood jadinya.....anyway, we've settled in the new place....even the kids pun dah ada their own study corner...and yes, Amelyn has finally registered to a kindergarten nearby...and now, i finally have my own sweet time to read a novel....to edit photos...to do some scrapbook LOs....and also to cook (sometimes)...hehehe! Only if we could get the Streamyx now, it'd be complete....

Ahh..there is so much to write...and yet so little time...anyway I'll get back as soon as possible.....

Moving again!

2009-02-23T18:18:00.000-08:00

Yupp...we are in the midst of moving again...nope, it's not our new home, just a rental across the road.....beginilah kehidupan orang nomad! And most probably we couldn't be online for the whole week starting tomorrow. So if there is anything, you guys can always sms/call me ok. We will be back once we have settled in ya! :)

Just a little shout outs to my people:

To Anna, album dah ready nanti kita set time and place mana nak jumpa yeh....:)

To my dear friend Ayu, sorry couldn't make it to your kids' events this weekend, kalau sempat kc rush pi after the wedding ends ok....:)

To Kak Shill, have a great one this weekend...and congratulations once again from all of us.....tak sabar nak tengok gambar nanti.....I'm sure you'll look gorgeous from top to toe...;)

To my dear Erna, good luck with your new job....insya-Allah it will be a great beginning for you and your dearest sweet family. I'm sure the 2Ds will be proud of you, and at the same time will miss you the most! But I know you guys will do just fine. All the best ok! :)

Okay people...I'm plugging off my pc now....will update soon after we got the line connected at the new place...have a great week ya! :):)

Got Earrings? updated with video

2009-02-19T23:15:00.000-08:00

Can you spot the difference?

Yupp, finally si kecik ni dah dpt impian dia. This was last Saturday right after she got her ears pierced. The total cost was just RM 15 tapi the experience mmg totally worth a lifetime for her. Masa sampai-sampai kat kedai emas Sri Pinang tu, memang cuak juga. 2-3 kali tanya dia sure ke tak nak tindik ni. She was firm. So baik buat cepat-cepat before she changed her mind. Mula-mula pilih subang dulu, cantik-cantik semuanya and she chose the flowers at last. Bila sampai time nak tindik, she was totally quiet. Alia yang kat belakang dah siap tarik baju tutup muka dia..sabar je la! Bukannya dia nak tenangkan adik dia tapi dia pula yang panik semacam hehehe! Mama pula as usual ambil gambar tapi kali ni siap ambil video sekali....

kita spray dulu ya....

and we're done! :)

The whole procedure went on smoothly....the lil one langsung tak menangis....bila tengok balik video tu baru perasan masa kena tindik tu mata dia langsung tak berkelip-kelip....that's how determined she was! Memang kuat semangat betul si kecik ni.....dah abis semuanya, she was so happy tak sabar-sabar nak tengok kat cermin....adorable sangat masa ni, senyum sampai ke telinga lagi! Lepas ni siap la mama...for sure kalau pi jalan mana-mana ada yang mintak more earrings ni! hehehe! ;);)

excited betul dia petang tu tak sabar nak show off kat kawan-kawan dia...

tapi harus la posing for mama dulu ya.....

Awww...doesn't she look so grown up already! ;)

One down, more to go...
Lepas ni apa pula on her wish list agaknya....;)

Alia + Amelyn @ Save Gaza Concert

2009-02-17T17:38:00.000-08:00

This was right after Irdina's birthday party....and yes we weren't exactly dressed for the occassion. Segan juga mulanya tapi we were there for a good cause kan......memang ramai sangat yang hadir mengerjakan solat hajat untuk selamatkan Gaza ni, hampir penuh juga padang stadium MPKj Bangi pada malam tu....dan lepas solat, acara diteruskan dengan ucapan, bacaan puisi dan juga nyanyian nasyid oleh beberapa kumpulan....mulanya memang nak tunggu sampai kumpulan Raihan tapi since the 2As pun dah mengantuk sangat, by 11+ pm lagi dah balik.....tapi yang pastinya the 2As dah pun menyumbang for a good cause and they really understood what it's for.....Alhamdulillah.....:)

Alia + Amelyn @ Irdina's Birthday Party

2009-02-15T20:27:00.000-08:00

The birthday girl

Happy birthday sis...

hadiah dr Sara tapi Ayin yg tolong passkan kat Irdina...

Cantik kan decoration birthday party Irdina...penuh dgn balloons...

Dah lama rasanya tak bawak the 2As to the party bukannya apa takut nanti tak terjaga while I was working. Kesian pula tu so this time bawak kedua-duanya sekali to Irdina's 3rd birthday party @ Putrajaya. Sampai-sampai je kat sana nampak Anas dgn Amani dah sampai dulu. Tak lama lepas tu barula geng-geng yang lain sampai. The 2As yang mula-mulanya senyap je baru la jadi pot pet pot pet.....hehehe! Tema kali ni under the sea, memang cukup happening sangat...dengan ballooons yang sangat banyak di atas kepala masing-masing sampaikan mmg terasa under the sea pun....hehehe! tinggal takde yang pakai swimsuit ala-ala ariel je lagi ni....;)

Antara yang hadir....

Macam-macam hidangan yang ada disediakan oleh tuan rumah kita pada hari tu, antaranya nasi lemak, mee bandung dan kuih muih. Kali ni memang tak miss makan apa yang ada tapi of course yang paling sedap sambal sotong dan juga cupcakes yang amat comel-comel belaka tu! Beruntung betul Irdina dapat mommy dan grandma yang pandai masak ni.....memang puas hati la the 2As mamam apa yang ada hari tu...hehehe! ;)

Cantik kan kek saya....

Sedap pula tu..

Bila sampai masanya utk cake cutting, semua kanak-kanak mula serbu the main table...apataknya masing-masin terpegun tengok birthday cake yang sangat comel tu. Memang special sangat² siap ada mermaid lagi khas untuk Irdina sampaikan the 2As pun tak berkelip-kelip mata tengok mermaid tu....hehehe comel sangat kan....!

Suka sangat dia main confetti tu....

Me with my favorite lil heroes...

The rest of the gang....

Anyway, Happy Birthday once again to my dear sweet Irdina...may all your dreams come true ya....amin....and to Anna, thank you for inviting us...memang the 2As enjoy sangat that day, dahlah kitaorg yang paling last sekali balik, siap dapat tapau lagi cupcakes + birthday cake...mmg puas betul la makan cupcakes weekend tu....hehehe! thank you so much ya anna dear! :):)

My Greatest Investment Ever!

2009-02-10T19:15:00.000-08:00

I just adore this one. Mmg totally worth it. Just for a mere RM 3.90, it provides light, sound and guaranteed joy and happiness for the little one. And not to mention, it's fully functional as a real comb too, which comes real handy for me yang selalu misplaced my own comb....hehehe!

Since the 2As pun dah makin besar, dah makin kurang toys. Nowadays, I'd prefer buying them story books than toys yang memang akan berselerak dan ended up would be me stepping on them tak pun would be the one to clean up the mess! So from now on, book it is...senang disusun dan boleh dikongsi bersama dua beradik ni.....cuma in this case, I made an exception simply because i adore this handy and cute lil comb aka magic wand! Zaman kita dulu mana ada menda² macam ni kan...hehehe! ;)

Oh ya, one more thing there have been requests that I do a short tutorial on scrapbook, insya-Allah some time next week I'd put up an entry on how to do a simple layout for your kids' photos ya.....:)

Cute Little Things

2009-02-09T17:45:00.000-08:00

Yeay! We have a new look. And it's colorful and cheerful. Memang sesuai sangat utk Alia dan Amelyn yang cukup suka cupcakes. Previously blog ni tempat utk mama berkongsi hasil kerja scrapbooks but now, it's going to be all about us! And as for that, blog title pun dah kena tukar. ;)

Aiza Alia - 6+y

Aiza Amelyn -4+y

Let us start by introducing my tw0 cutest little things named Aiza Alia and Aiza Amelyn. They are so much different from each other like fire and water. Yang sulung a bit tomboyish but so soft at heart sampaikan selalu kena buli dengan adik, meanwhile yang si kecil pula so lovely and ladylike in appearance tapi in real the one you really have to watch out! I wonder how my third one will be like?! ;)

I just love this candid shot of her...

Mama's Sweetheart

There is no doubt Amelyn had always been my baby, and it's about time for her to be big sis. So far, still no luck but we are in no rush. There are still lots of things need to be settled first. Lagipun we have already gotten used to the idea of just 2As in the house, so there is no rush for the lil A...hehehe! Kalau ada rezeki...ada la kan....;)

In the meantime, we'll just have to do with these two cute lil angels! :)

Amelyn

2009-02-06T09:48:00.000-08:00

My sweet lil Amelyn....;)

School is now in session!

2009-01-18T19:57:00.000-08:00

After a while, akhirnya dapat juga buat Lo for the kids....jealous tengok orang lain dapat buat Project 365, tapi nak buat macam mana the 2As sekrg ni pun dah jarang sangat nak bergambar....so instead of project 365, i'll be doing the project 52! hehehe! kira ok la tu kan...;) ;)

To move or not to move, that's the QUESTION!

2009-01-15T15:50:00.000-08:00

Arghhhh!!! We have to move again, rasanya elok je kalau terus jadi nomad...pack all things dalam karung and move every three months....tension betul bila mengenangkan nak pack all things into boxes and move again! Tapi what to do, that's the reality of our lives.....actually rumah sewa sekarang ni dah kena jual by the owner, so by end of next month we have to get our butts out of the house already, and still by today tak cari lagi rumah baru....dah try area berdekatan but to no luck! Bila kita nak cari memang macam tu kan....kalau tak tu berlambak je house for rent.....*sigh*

So another option we have is to move to Bangi which is to my SIL's empty house at Sect. 8, the house is big enough for all of us but ...yupp there is always a but.....just one thing yang keep bothering my mind right now and that is to transfer alia to a new school....kesian sangat²....tak sampai hati nak let her go through all the first week experience again, nak kena cari kawan baru lagi, nak kena readjust dengan new environment lagi....tak sanggup rasanya...kesian kat dia...she's just 6++.....I don't think she can handle this again.....

Pening...pening.....pening sangat² dibuatnya!

Zoo Negara Trip 2008

2009-01-12T20:00:00.001-08:00

I think almost everyone went to the zoo last school holiday kan...kat sana sini every zoo trip's pictures would pop up.....and here's ours, the rest ada kat my fb's album.

This was during the last week of December....dah lama bercadang nak bawak the 2As to the zoo, but we just couldn't fit into the schedules at all until last 30th where I had a job there....so ambil kesempatan bawak the 2As sekali, but they went totally separate ways when we got there....so I did miss lots of opportunities to see the 2As gawking at new animals and familiar faces from Madagascar.....but we did took some great pictures at the end of the trip though Amelyn was totally terrified with the elephant, ye la tengok dalam movie macam comel-comel je kan sekali bila tengok live mak aiii jauh berkali-kali ganda besar dari dia....memang la terkejut "badak" la kan....cian dia.....

Amelyn with her new umbrella....

Ain't this cool....kesemua zirafah tu beratur dan elok je posing dgn alia...definitely my favorite one so far!

they are so huge!

awww...so comel kan.....

Overall, it was an enjoyable and tiring trip...but it's all worth it! As for me, seeing the real hippo was totally memorable sebab biasanya kalau pi mana-mana zoo, sure nampak berendam je and finally seeing them in their total hugeness was really a great one! As for the kids, rasanya the animal show la yang they love the most + masa dapat tengok zirafah dengan zebra in real.....too bad tak dpt ambil gmbr Alia dengn zebra, which was her favorite Madagascar character.....maybe next time we'll go on another trip ya....tak puas jalan-jalan dengan 2As hari tu.......

Bye-bye animals, we'll be back for sure.....:):)

Happy Birthday to Big Daddy!

2008-11-29T04:41:00.000-08:00

we wuv you so much daddy. happy birthday from alia + amelyn + mama. :)
