car boot junkie..

2009-06-28T16:08:00.025+01:00

car booting..

a weekly event for us..zaki memang kaki car boot..

sebut denham, kilburn, walton on thames, farnborough, ascott, chiswick, redbourne

merata and tah mana2 lagi..

a photo holder, sangat suka..

a good therapy, mind and physical..mind- sebab seronok sangat tengok barang2 yang harga main pee-pee je

physical, kalau satu lane 500 m lah katakan..kalau dia bukak 10 row..so?kalikan je lah..

dah berapa jauh and berapa langkah anda berjalan?

and good for your eyes too!( therapy mata)..ya..mata harus tajam..tahap focus, zoom and macro anda kena berada pada tahap paling maksima untuk mendapat barangan yang best..sebab, seller suka letak display sepah2..so deria mata kena sharp untuk scout bargain yang best..you lambat je..barang yang best kena rembat.

and make sure bring small change banyak2..if bawa £5 dlm pence..kalau satu item 10p..berapa item dah boleh beli daaa?? kalikanlah lagi sekali..

and bawa lah tesco fairtrade recycle bag big edition untuk isi segala barang shopping anda..or you rasa barang shopping you lagi banyak kalah barang shopping dari primark..you can bring ikea shopping bag kaler biru( di uk)..or (yellow) di malaysia..kalau nak shopping satu car boot pun boleh..tapi bawalah trolley untuk memudahkan pergerakan dan perjalanan barangan anda..(mcm sesetengah family melayu kita di sini)

(ps- taulah malaysian when it comes to shopping!!..from high street to car boot..asalkan shopping kalau tak ghabak or tekeluar tulang bahu nak mengangkut bukan malaysian lah namanya,.ape lagi kalau barangan murah!)

i must say almost 60% my kids nye baju comes from pre-loved item..dekat sini kalau nak shopping betul2 lagilah parah..ada 4 season..masuk sejuk kena tukar lain..autumn..summer and spring..berapa banyak kali nak tukar..so darablah lagi, sebab i kena fikir untuk 5 anak i..kalau i beli mahal, pakai sampai lebam..oklah..ini..kejap2 nak kena tukar..and kids pulak..sekejap je dah besar..pakai tak sampai 4-5 months kena change..from top to toe..pengsanlah i and botaklah papa zaki..( yang sememangnya dah botak licin cause i baru shave kasi licin last week ).

oklah..have to go tolong aishah with her school work..have you ever heard Handa's Surprise?..dulu2 kita hansel and gretel, red riding, gingerbread man etc..now handa? originally story ni from kenya..i tak taulah..sesama pulak kena buat homework with kakak ni..tak pasal kena online study sekali...rasanya i dah layak jadi cikgu nursery/reception if balik malaysia..sebab every week kena sit and learn with aishah and her reception work..
daaa..

thats Ashley-Mae, her best friend..

ps- sini mak bapak tak boleh malas..every week kena submit report and what we do with our kids, then anak kena tanya balik kat school..kantoilah if tak ajar anak..homework bukan everyday..but seminggu sekali (receive friday due tuesday-lain sekolah lain hari)..by repetition..so budak tak kelam kabut and cepat lupa..

the real Ashley -Mae..she's so petite!

saturday..mak nak relax..by sunday, mak dah kelam kabut..sebab? mak sibuk nak jalan tapi homework anak belum tengok.Every wednesday, anak ada spelling test (wajib) if anak tak lepas nanti teacher question..kesimpulan, mak bapak is part of the learning system, so jangan malas mama D!!!..ketiadaan papa yang sibuk mencari nafkah menyebabkan mak menjadi agak mental menjelang hari minggu kerana banyak tanggungjawab perlu dijelaskan. -n-

again, not about car boot after all, saya suka lari topic..selagi boleh membebel :))

3 weeks to go..

2009-06-27T14:52:00.006+01:00

still no answer from the home office..

visa masuk since April..ingat everything was ok..(sebab biometric enrolment dah lepas)

but until now..hujung bucu passport pun tak nampak..

beginning to feel harapan balik amat tipis..

minus sunday tinggal 19 days mengharap passport sampai..

hubby cakap..its ok..tunggu 2 days before flight baru cancel ticket..

(if still no kelibat)

frust sangat..but still mengharap..

takutkan if we cancel early, like next week..a day after, passport sampai?

nyesal tak sudah cause dah let go ticket..kan?

cakap with mom..arghh..poor mom..nyesal habaq dia awal2..sebab tau if visa tak dapat kan lemah..

i feel her sadness bila bagitau berita tak best ni..

3 years tak jejak tanah malaya...but baru 1 year lebih tak jumpa mom (she came in dec 2007-jan 2008)

But yes, mom dah tua..tak larat nak travel lagi. And whats more, my FIL dah tinggal sorang kat Kampung..since my MIL pass away..tanya sekarang siapa teman kat kampung..he said dia kawan dengan kucing 3 ekor..use to be belaan arwah my MIL..sayang sangat kat depa bertiga ni..sampai demam kasi panadol and letak dalam blankie..kesian bapak..

arghhh..dont give up..teruskan tido di tepi lubang post anda..hoping for a miracle before the 17th!!

all about hayy..

2009-06-13T17:28:00.016+01:00

entry kali ni is all about my baby hayy..

alah..not so baby anymorelah..dah bau tengik pon..bucukk..masham sangat!

the most nakal, cheekiest, nottiest amongst all..

dapat kaki pun cepat..9 month dah start jalan, mana la tak tekejar i dengan dia ni..by 11 month dah lari2 you!

tak tercakap lagi dah. Umur baru setahun sebulan..tapi since dia banyak belajar ilmu dunia from 3 sifu- sifu alam, sifu langit dan sifu cakerawala..

so power dia berganda lagi dari abang abang dia yang lain.

yes..pasti tertanya tanya how do i manage to handle 4 boys (minus kakak la..dia girl, so nakal dia ke arah menjahanamkan make up mummy dia).Answer dia..you don't jaga them, you just play along with them..bukanlah i ikut sekali panjat panjat and melompat main tembak tembak gitu ke apa..

i just monitor them as long as they know whats right and whats not..jatuh ke, sakit ke is part of the growing process..

(contoh nursery kat sini, 3-4 yrs old dah kena expose how to handle things in the kitchen, siap ada kelas masak.. to hold knife, scissors, stapler,..computer class, how to search websites,print pictures etc..yang best tu how to DIY..dekat outdoor play area ada real tukul, real saw, real PAKU!..dan real segalanya..but all dibuat dalam bentuk ketot so budak2 ni easy to handle)

Never say 'no' when they are doing something..itu learning process namanya, macam kita takutkan anak terluka ke apa ke..sikit2 risau..but here..if terpotong ke apa..teacher will report the incident to you and suruh kita sign in the report book.And of course they will treat the luka lah.

So, i pun praktikkan the knowledge i dapat from the nursery to my everyday life..

its not easy to monitor 4 little boys you know..

and alhamdulillah, they are now easier to handle..despite being boys la kan..masih notty notty, tapi dalam keadaan terkawal dan berhemat..hehe..

my 2 yrs old zach even know how to handle with scissor all by himself..

ya itu dia...my way..lepas nakal2 kecahkan bilik teruk teruk kenalah u all mengemas..'tidy up time' namanya, kalau 20 kali main, 20 kali sepah, 20 kali mamanya mengemas, mati la mamanya.belum masuk housework mama lain2 lagi! and sape rajin can get treat from mama-stickers, sweets, keropok lekor..wtf??

STUDY and BASIC KNOWLEDGE- very important for them before nursery year starts and after

sing songs to them, nursery songs la..bukan kerispatih. ungu..sebagainya..(songs stimulate minds, especially otak budak yang menyerap segalanya umpama sponge)
read to them, best time is night time..before tido.
introduce them to IT, sangat penting..jangan marah and risaukan komputer/laptop/netbook rosak!.If marah2 will put them off, rasa tak safe nak pakai (takut mama marah nanti) komputer beribu ringgit rosak. if you notice, mula2 baby you pegang mouse, pastu try to tekan2 keyboard..click the mouse, on the cpu and monitor..if u let them to continue..lama2 anak you akan terrer dengan sendirinya.introduce them to internet not games ya-coz games buatkan budak leka and malas belajar! ( banyak interesting sites for children nowadays etc cbbc.co.uk ) this sites will teach children how to learn through play..
lastly, jaga hati and perasaan anak, a healthy heart will stimulate body and soul..mcm nilah..bagila anak sebanyak kebahagiaan yang boleh. Jangan gaduh laki bini,masam2 muka depan anak..nak marah2 pegilah lepas kat kucing ke, jiran sebelah rumah atau pasaraya berdekatan anda. Give reward for your childs effort, bukanlah nak kena bagi hadiah selalu..kopak babe, means..give them big hugs, kisses and praise them.

-Hoh!!-! tu dia!..entry dah lari topik sebenarnya..its not all about hayy after all! hehe..

This is just a teeny weeny part of it..banyak lagi as it goes along the way..yang akan cik kiah kongsikan bersama pada lain hari :)

As for Hayy? tengoklah dia buat apa..mmm..

when mama sebut2 hayy, dia datang mcm kucing 'meow-meoww'

mari kita tanam tok guru dengan bantal bantal ni...

mari kita turun pula..

dan jatuhkan beg mama..yeahaaa..!

(mama: arghhhh!!!..my bradley bag..!!)

ok..enuff. Mama dah menyinga, bulu dah panjang.. taring dah keluar..

mari kita kembangkan hidung dan berkepak ke arah mama..

gimik i jadi kan ma..actually i nak sepahkan toys pulak..nyet! nyet!

Nite nite everyone, hope you enjoy watching me! :)

Terima kasih encik zaki kerana menaja makanan kami pada malam ini.

amalan harian

::buka tingkap seluas luasnya dan menguap::

ps- sampaikan penumpang tube belakang rumah terkejut melihat aksi ghairah anda.

tidaklah menguap sepanjang masa, lebih afdal jika diselang selikan dengan selawat syukur dapat melihat matahari terbit untuk mulakan hari yang penuh cabaran :)

ps- kata org tua, biar rezeki masuk.

::amalkan mandi pagi..er..bukan pukul 11,12,1,2 atau tak mandi lansung, walaupun pada musim sejuk yang amat::

aktiviti ini memang kami cukup jaga, sampai suami sanggup kejut anak2 tidur bagi mandi dulu.

pantang dia kalau orang mandi lambat, hubby mcm lelaki melayu terakhir, cara dia cara kampung..ikutkan memang elok diamal..otak cargas, badan sihat..ada jugak sangkut paut dengan rezeki. So jumlah family i keluar masuk toilet is ampat

belas khali (bertujuh dikalikan 2x mandi sehari) tak termasuk ke toilet untuk aktiviti2 sambilan :)

::eat banana everyday::

madsaleh kata 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

i eat pisang..pisang..pisang!! It keeps me on my toes everyday.

laki cakap udahla tu makan pisang, dah macam monyet dah..wahahah..dikatanya kita monyet..if bininya monyet?dia?Pasti bapak monyet rite?

ps- mostly tips from my SIL, orang lama, so harus banyak petua hidup.Tak tau pun dulu2. Tapi i terus amalkan.alhamdulillah, hidup akan bahagia :)

so random pics,

:aksi wanita bibir tebal from zach:

tensionyaaaa...

frm left, shan-baby hayy-at the back, wawa n danish,..aishah

his nose

::UPDATE::

yang best;

sayang aishah was awarded for her achivement in school/class. 'The Headteacher Commendation' badge. Bangga tak bangga kita semua :) before, her class teacher always puji and said she'd done pretty well in school, an all rounder girl, ingat teacher memain. Sekali terus kena acknowledge.happy,happy! (here they just give it to the parents,no hari penyampaian hadiah whatsoever, and no ranking system 1to 30 la..1 to 35 etc..survey said that students/parents can easily be in a depress situation if their child receive position in class..psikologi la, so that students & parents tak tertekan) only tenaga pengajar will know the students capability in school/class. very british..sebab kat sini orang rajin saman menyaman ni..tertekan je nak saman..byk tul duit upah lawyer nak saman orang!human rite kononnya.
shan's application for primary and danish (nursery) was successful, amin...
our bekonscot trip, a short trip..but a fun place to visit :)
hati girang nak balik malaysia!

tak best;

hayy jatuh katil tehentak hidung, sila lihat caption di atas.dahla hidung nya yg comel betambah comel. nasib tak patah tulang hidung. The impact was harsh. :(
hidup bosan sebab tiap hari hujan.nak menyangkol pun payah.
kita nak balik, tapi visa tak dapat lagi..amacam? gila ke babe?ticket dah issue.huwaaaa! time to minta super mama sofiah in maluri for sembahyang hajat, doa mak..moga dapat berkat di sini.
UB funkey usb not functioning, arghh! tensi, tensi,..bilalah i dapat bejuang ngan belia belia 4B ni.so hillariously cute!
today, tube strike for 48 hours (takde kena mengena pun hidup ngan tube ni) eh ada! jalan ketapi blakang rumah lengang habis..takde bunyi..gedek..gedek..gedek..gedek..bilik tak gegar2..so life and otak takde gegaran for the next 48 hours.
dengar cerita tak elok pasal orang,laki selalu pesan (diapun tak suka cakap keburukan orang,walaupun sometimes tekena ngan orang) 'jangan suka sibuk tepi kain orang, u have more than enough kain already..jagalah kain2 tu' maknunyu (razip?) if i dengar cerita tak best 'tentang seseorang' jangan cuba provoke lagi keadaan n make it worse. tapi my best mate in uk (u know who u are) akan jadi mangsa i, sebab sama2 faham situasi. by end of the day, cerita tak best we just keep it sealed.dijamin sirim.yang tau hanya i dan polan :) kan? ps: adat dunia, sebolehnya elak dari menjadi halwa telinga, if terdengar, buat diam n jangan gemburkan suasana. hubby selalu cakap 'benda macam ni boleh jadi penyakit', which i truly agreed.

ps- hidup kita pun tak sempurna, baik jaga family sendiri dari sibukkan hal orang.

IT'S BEEN........

2009-06-08T21:48:00.001+01:00

AGESSSSSSSSSS...don't you think?

penat menebas-mengipas-memvacum habok, sawang dan lalang..

fuhhhhhhhhhh..

to all my fans (eh?ada ke..?mmm..)

terima kasih sebab tak habis bertanyakan blog saya ini,

sampai ke satu tahap dah fed up dengan pertanyaan pertanyaan (chewah!!) bagaimana nak conceive anak? :)

how the hell am i suppose to answer that?

::rezeki dan ketentuan di tangan tuhan::

think happy and always stay positive, pasti dapat anak berderek derek umpama rabbit macam i.

lepas girl, dapat pipi labuh..then dapat telinga capang..budak gemok..last..budak gemok the 2nd.so how?

Jangan fikir 'Ish..susah la anak ramai2 ni'..one will always think..'takut income tak cukup'

believe me dear, we were at that state before..but hey?! still survive till now, alhamdulillah makan minum semua cukup.

Like orang tua2 cakap, 'Rezaki Anak'...i always reflect that phrase from time to time, syukur, rezeki kami tak pernah putus.

till then, nite2 my lovely readers..muahss!!

ps: jika ada sebarang soalan mengenai ilmu menjaga anak maupun kemahiran hidup II, drop me a comment :)

We are moving soon...

2008-06-18T17:03:00.004+01:00

i am busy 'house hunting' so i neglected the blog lately.
We will finish the move soon and i promise to keep back to my usual 'blogomania'.
terkejut rite? haaaa..we all lagi terkejut. Tak guna sesen nye landlord, naikkan rent for this month alih alih kena bagi notice sebulan pindah pulak?!! cisss..kurang assam sungguh.
dahla our washing machine rosak sebulan lebih yet he do nothing..bodo jer!
thank god the laundrettes just steps away from our place. Berjasalah juga to we all selama ni.
Our electric switch box yang always rosak pun memang payah nak panggil si mushtoq datang repair, end up bebudak rumah ni buat sendiri..tak reti pun buat buat reti...nasib tak kena electricuted, or else declare mati syahid kot sebab niat nak menolong ahli2 rumah.

as to our landlord 'mr mushtoq misai a.galak',

aku tau ko bukannya baca and paham..so i can kutuk you..wahahahaa
no wonder the tenant before us hancurkan your place and believe me was in total mess time we all took over this neglected house mana kan tidak previous tenant tak puas hati dapat landlord rubbish like you! ..poor you, dapat si mushtoq ni. tak reti jaga hang lansung kan?!!
thank god dapat tenant yang berhati mulia mcm kami.Sanggup jaga you yang dah buruk bagai retak menanti belah ni..we clean, patch, repair, refurbish you back and jaga you for the past 2 and a half years,
:(
sedih sedih, walau you buruk but we sayang you..but now its almost time for us to part..thank you for the wonderful memories we had together..for you had given us shelter and a place to call 'HOME'
and 2 of my kids, zach and hayy, we buried their birth sack (placenta) here.right in our back garden. :(

wa..touching..touching..

DEAR READERS,
actually 'insyaallah' tak jauh mana pun i pindah, maybe belakang jalan jer..wahahahahh or within NW2 (postcode) juga..for i have few choices not to far from aishahs school, malas nak pindah jauh2 and out from willesden green, once you stay in willesden..memang rasa there's no other place like this, ramai muslim, masjid 2 3 tempat, so many halal food, nice atmosphere..most importantly..ramai MELAYU!
whats more my kids aishah and shan dah school kat sini, malas nak tukar2, sebab baru sangat confirm placing kat sini..tak kan nak ubah pulak.
like what kak pah (my sista in law punya niece) told me earlier

Kak Pah: there's no place like willesden
Me: so y lah kak pah you are moving away from willesden?.
Kak Pah: to many memories dear...but then again, no matter where i am after this, willesden will always be part of me...so, if you want to rent my place, you're most welcome but its only available in mid sept
Me: ooo..its ok Kak Pah, thank you anyway but i have to pass. We really need to settle in somewhere else by mid august, our end date is 12 august. i pun nak move out cecepat and settle everything before summer holiday ends on 2 sept.

..and bla..bla..blahhhhhh

teruklah lepas ni, habis confinement memang kena all out kerah tenaga. Ya allah..hate to pack and unpack..Giloss!

hayy n me!

2008-06-13T14:17:00.003+01:00

hello all, this is me still in 'pantang' with my hayy.
life pretty much the same, adjusting to my new routine as a housewife and mummy to 5 little rascals.
Ahhhhh!..busy busy me. Nasib 1st and 2nd ni ringan tulang tolong mama mengemas. if not patah pinggang mama with the cleaning chores.Chores can quickly be overwhelming when it is time to clean house and some cleaning chores have to been done every day.
As for Hayy, not to difficult to jaga him..sleep-nenen-sleep-nenen-nappy change then sleep again, tu jelah dia tau. And he sleeps all through the nite too! subuh baru mencari cari bau mummy.
Arghh..super hectic me!!

and his name is..

2008-06-08T16:53:00.002+01:00

THANK YOU ALL

2008-05-23T13:07:00.005+01:00

for the well wishes and support,.,deeply from our heart.. 'the parents' ----->

the baby......and

the rest of the clan

alhamdulillah

2008-05-16T13:41:00.008+01:00

after much effort and oohhsss-aahhhsss,
little boy was born on 15th May 2008 at 4.09am

before, at 12.15am kena main2 with fitball dulu stimulate contraction.

kita pun main lompat2 with this gym ball sambil minum air dah 2 1/2 jug to increase contraction.

nearly 4am, water still doesn't break, tengah midwife check, she accidentally terpecahkan air..and at 4.09am keluarlah si bulat, after having 6 minutes of 3rd stage and less than an hour for 2nd stage.

she's my 'anchorwomen'..very cekap i tell you, from the handling of my paperwork (the yellow file) when we arrive at 11.30pm until the end of my labour(4.09am), cleaning and tidying up the 'mess' i have made :( she is the 'only' living person in the labour room (after zaki, of course!) and yes, siap tolak i to my ward.
tengok, siap pakai orange crocs shoes lagi..kelas kau kak!

15 minutes old

SIAP !

MOre Of Lil Bun HERE :)

with love

2008-05-16T11:22:00.001+01:00

still...

2008-05-11T15:01:00.003+01:00

salam and good day..yes..its me..still here and waiting for D day to come.
Arghhh..penat sangat2..my lil bun is so heavy ok. And my weekly GP appointment is on monday 12th..ntah2 tak sempat? apa apa pun wish me luck and selamat meneran :)

been doing loads of reading about last stages in pregnancy (ey ape da..dah nak anak 5 pun takut lagi)..hell yeah i'm scared,..siapa tak? the fact of having contractions every now and then, water break and the urge to push...ahhh TIDAK! if takut sangat memang boleh gila..but thats the BEAUTY of it..setahun belum tentu sekali..but in my case, setahun sekali la kot..but this might be my last bit, the end of this emotional cycle in a womens life..for 'they' have complete me. 'MY FAMILY'.And i am going to cherish every seconds of it. Lepas ni kita start family zaki fasa ke-2..membesarkan anak2 pulak :)

this is my emo signs of labor:

Nesting is an instinct that mothers of nearly every species experience. Though humans won't actually be burrowing or gathering leaves, (I hope), you will often start to go into a cleaning and organizing frenzy. Some women go through their baby layettes over and over, organizing the baby's room or section of the parents' room. Others will clean the house from top to bottom, empty every drawer, and dust in places they never knew existed before. This is completely normal! You are not becoming obsessive compulsive, nesting is just nature's way of letting the mother know the baby is coming soon. So, clean as much as you like, just avoid strong fumes and try to use gloves when using chemicals of any kind. Don't touch the cat litter and avoid any area that may harbor black mold or mildew.

Diarrhea and bowel disturbance:
Experience THIS, today!
Nearing labor your body will produce prostaglandins, a chemical which will cause loose bowel movements. A very unpleasant sign of impending labor, but one which does let you know the baby is coming soon. If you have been suffering from constipation, this may be a bit of a relief. Gas, which is so common throughout pregnancy, will also become more of an issue. All of this will pass soon enough and the diarrhea serves two purposes. One is to empty the bowels in preparation for pushing the baby out of the womb. Secondly, the muscle contractions of bowel movements are very close to the type caused by the uterus. If you are suffering severe diarrhea, you should call your midwife severe diarrhea can actually induce labor contractions.

Vaginal discharge in early labor:
Some women may experience more discharge in the days leading up to labor. Normally thick and whitish, if the discharge changes to thin and watery a visit to the doctor may be in order. This could indicate a leak in the bag of waters surrounding the baby. This only poses a danger to the baby if labor is not immediatel indicated, as an infection or introduction of bacteria to the womb and baby could occur. If the discharge is thick and white or thick and colorless, you should not worry. This is normal discharge.

Softening of the cervix, mucus plug, or bloody show:
In addition to the normal discharge you are experiencing, near labor you may find red streaks and a thick mucous 'blob'. This is the mucus plug that has been in the cervix since after conception to prevent access to the womb for bacteria or other pathogens. You may never see this bloody show, because as the cervix has softened or ripened, it could have slipped out and fell into the toilet to be flushed away. The cervix has thinned and softened so that it is prepared to dilate enough to allow passage of the baby into and through the birth canal. In your final visits to the obstetrician he or she will check your cervix often to check for softening and dilation.

semuanya dah plus very mild braxton hicks.
apa macam? agak2?

-D-

spring break at last!

2008-04-04T20:55:00.005+01:00

i'm in my 33 weeks now..few more weeks to go. After my last antenatel scan, insyaallah everything looks fine and progressing..but my tummy a bit small compare from the previous one..ingat baby b/f huh?fingers cross..la kan..rezeki ketentuan di tangan allah..most importantly..baby kita sihat :)

Remember her? What a transformation huh?..

an apple a day keeps the doctor away..

2008-03-07T15:41:00.005Z

this is zach..

give him an apple, he will finished it all to himself..no sharing..na-AH!..tapi by the time seketul buah tu habis will be like 7....8pm at nite lah!..from lunch!..he will mamah that poor apple like there's no tomorrow and refuse his milk or anything else, macam dah takde apple lain dalam dunia ni.

what else about my lil rascal ni? and yes..already started to walk (mcm org mabuk..heheh) like 2 weeks ago..tatih2 since he was about 10+ mons.Food intake, he eats anything under the sun, i think tolak batu-kayu-benda2 haram je kot, refuses baby's food..prefers home cook food,with no blending. so far, assam pedas and budu are his top favourite on the list yang berjela jela ni.

Back to 'the' apple story, yesterday..after his afternoon milk he started to 'ratah' the apple,sampai mata kuyu kuyu nak terkulai pun still continue meratah..then siap baring on the carpet..face on the floor..but hand..still pegang apple..5 minutes later..gone to la-la land while apple rested right next to his FACE,mama biarkan..after 3 hours nap..bangun,..still mamai mamai terus masuk balik apple dlm mulut and munching happily :)

lawaknya! but i guess dia tengah gatal gusi for he just got his 3rd upper tooth last week.

ENJOY THE APPLE DEAR ZACH

Mother's Day..

2008-03-02T00:23:00.008Z

SELAMAT HARI IBU!

03-03-2008

walau kita tak sambut, but a wish..love and much thought for my dear mother n MIL will do.
semoga mak panjang umur,murah rezeki dan sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat selalu.
same goes to my mak batulaut, semoga dilimpahi rahmat dari allah dan dikurniakan tubuh badan yang sihat.
We miss u loads!

here, in the UK..it is called the 'mothering sunday'... something that has got to do with Christianity.
Awal awal dah remind my Aishah, tak payah celebrate bagai, as long as you carry my heart with you and doakan yang indah indah for mama and papa, itu dah cukup buat bekalan akhirat nanti.
For at times you make us proud,..her nursery teacher said to me one day.. 'you know mrs zaki,aishah,.. we are very please with her..for she came from a strong family background..always talks about her family..her parents and little brothers..she is genuine about her thoughts towards her family and also the public..bla..bla..bla about her school progress whatsoever'-alhamdulillah-
haaa..mak mana tak kembang tak gitu??

facts on mothers day,

In the U.S. Mothers' Day is a holiday celebrated on second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. First observance in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1907, it is based on suggestions by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 and Anna Jarvis in 1907.

Although it wasn't celebrated in the U.S. until 1908, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the Mother of the gods that was given honor.

Later, in the 1600's, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday." It was celebrated during Lent, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.

In the U.S., in 1908 Ana Jarvis, from Grafton, West Virginia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the anniversary of her mother's death. A memorial service was held there on May 10, 1908 and in Philadelphia the following year where Jarvis moved.

Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. They were successful. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year. Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May, as in the U.S.

to all you yummy mommies out there,

a sudden rush..

2008-02-21T14:38:00.004Z

...inside me longing to eat rice pudding..yesterday bought an instant one at sainsbury..not bad..tapi lagi puas if buat sendiri ..here are the recipe, the basic rice pudding..senang tak ingat! :)

2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of whole milk
1/3 cup (66 grams) of long or short grain white rice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/3 cup (40 grams) raisins

1 In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, combine milk, rice and salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

2 In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg and brown sugar until well mixed. Add a half cup of the rice mixture - a Tablespoon at a time - beating to incorporate.

3 Add egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice and milk and stir, on low heat, for 10 minutes or so, until thickened. Be careful not to have the mixture come to a boil at this point. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and cinnamon.

Serve warm or cold.

Serves 2-3.

to all my yummy mummies out there..selamat menerai!

the day he sees the world..

body rehab

2008-01-29T19:25:00.000Z

seriously i think its time for me to get one of these, instead of getting the round one mcm bola tu..yang ini easier to balance and tone up. Bila umur nak meningkat angka '3'...(a year more to go..not so miles away ey?)mula la mcm2 baru nak ingat, bila dah anak 4..baru ingat nak tone my body parts yang mana dah kembang kembong ni :) although i rasa body ni maintain so-so untuk mummy anak 4..but definitely certain part needs to be adjust.wish me luck!

my fake baby

2008-01-29T15:25:00.000Z

u have got to check this out..look at these pictures..it looks so real..nasib baik la kita ni orang islam and kumpul anak2 patung ni memanglah tak boleh kan..if not rasanya i dah order all my babies replica kot?!
memang kat sini there are collectors of what they call it 'reborn' babies ni..read the artical below;

My Fake Baby explores the lives of women who spend hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of pounds on life-like baby dolls. Known as "reborns" some of the dolls have beating hearts, others have tiny veins and even milk spots. Loved like real babies, they're taken for walks, cuddled and even have their nappies changed. Doll designer Jaime - a mother of four - now fulfils the dreams of other women by engineering babies to their specifications in her front room. Adoptive "mums" include women with grown-up children, grandmothers living away from their grandchildren and women who have left it too late to have their own babies. My Fake Baby delves into an extraordinary pursuit which, although bizarre to some, brings great rewards to the women involved.

i just find it interesting..whats more the talent that she has and developed over the years in producing fake babies..memula as a hobby,..lama2 when it gets so REAL..collectors started ordering from her and her business expands..gila kan..yesterday in Richard and Judy minah ni cakap she was all booked up till 2009!!
believe me..i have seen lots of fake baby sites and stuffs..but believe me..minah ni buat mmg REAL,hehe..just amazed by her talent..ada gak ppl as talented as her..nasib la saya ni islam..takat tengok suka2 jelah..nak buat hobby tak boleh rite?
for you peeps out there...check her 'reborn' baby web by Jaime Eaton.

by the way..ini fake baby saya..hehe..nama dia 'zach yushua notty' yang suka sangat panjat panjat apa saja object yang boleh dipanjat..almost 11 mons now,gigi 2 btg, stop giving him soother at 9+ haritu for tak nak gigi dia tumbuh kelam kabut, nasib baik at 9 mons tu..he himself yg stopkan sendiri..bila nak bagi..he tolak..hahaha..senang kerja i, feed himself anything and everything he could reach..umpama tolak batu and kayu je..senang lagi kerja mama cause what we eat is what he gets..he even likes to eat rice with 'budu' and tapai as dessert:) bagus bagus...
happy viewing!!

We had fun.and the facilities are modern and family friendly too.. :)

2008-01-17T20:56:00.000Z

*with zach and shan*

In my attempt to start out 2008 on the right foot, I decided to start making lists of things I want to accomplish this year. After all, my New Years Resolution was to not make a long list of resolutions but rather to be organized all year and let things happen naturally.
part of my list is...

-read more books (already started 'Shopaholic and Baby' by Sophie Kinsella)
-put more savings in my/our account
-be a better muslim
-a better wife
-a better mother

As for my 'other' things....well, we are taking it one day at a time, right? =)

what about you?

cheers xx

Wrapping Up the Old, Welcoming the New

2008-01-09T16:29:00.000Z

Please forgive my infrequent postings lately. With the holidays all around us, I am sure you understand the whirlwind that keeps me from my desk.2007,leaves me thinking about the year I am wrapping up and what I did/didn't contribute, be, experience etc. etc. -- as well as what I hope to accomplish/change in the new year.This particular year it seems that there is a lot more on my mind than usual, with the various things currently swirling around in my personal life and with the many changes 2008 will bring to my family.

welcoming 2008! jangan lupa doa awal tahun ya..hmmm..so much to tell.still recovering from the stress(positive stress for sure!) and tired after dear family safely arrive back home.
bilakan berjumpa lagi? insyaallah dipanjangkan umur..bertambah rezeki we shall spent our summer vacation in malaysia.insyaallah..not a promise thou..tgk kocek dulu :)
we had the best 2007 finale..with family by our side..who could ask for more?
and hell yeah..i had the best 28th birthday gift from mom (my childhood necklace i have been longing so long) and for being with me on my special DAY,my abang pon..hmm..LV for diaper bag? we will see about that :) and sis nab..for the pretty LK Bennet to match my shoes and dearest hub..damn..you really spoil me baby.Swarovski dear?
alhamdulillah dengan apa yang ada and will try to make the best of it.thank you's all..

But above all, rasa seronok sangat for making my mom's trip a memorable one for we did bring her to see her old apartment in earl's court area 48 years ago..
nasib the owner takde..silap we all dah ketuk siap masuk rumah nak bergambar.

her unit still 'elok'..well preserve and looks clean..from the outside! tak caya see the picture.

(will upload soon)

well, so much more to tell..insyaallah will continue in my next post..

Till then,I want to wish you peace and courage. Take all that is good with you into this new chapter of your life and leave that which holds you back behind. A new year brings fresh beginnings and I hope it brings you everything you dream for.

Thank you for a wonderful 2007, to family and friends.

syndrom malas melanda

2007-12-12T16:31:00.000Z

bila kemalasan melanda, inilah hasilnya.....
for first time ever, lepas kahwin..or selepas masihi..me malas nak kemas our futon, just biar sadai on the floor and let em' play..guling atas nak buat apa pun buatlah..london weather very sejukkk today..siap frost outside..out with aishah tadi, semua putih jer :) best betul santai2 dalam duvet with my kids..siap tido sekali :) not much can do pun sesejuk gini...just laid back and enjoy the time with my kids.

: zach siap gigit gigit kaki his mom lagi bawah meja :

for the lady in red

2007-12-12T15:01:00.000Z

telebih rajin punya assignmet...she tak suruh buat pun..saper nak volunteer, dipersilakan..for the 'red lady'..this is for you :)

: my toileterries..plus my husband..tapi kadang2 nak cepatkan every day hentam jugak..tak tau sape pakai sape punya,...janji when we got off the toilet, haruslah wangi semerbak CUKUP!...range tak kira..mana yg latest, itulah yang we all try, if we kind of like the frangrance..we will use the same range longer la..but usually does not last pun..but i heart the range from marks n spencer ,bodyshop, boots....eco friendly, sweet smelling and here, good price too! :

: lagi satu, i have been using st ives product ages ago..and i stick to it till now..dari zaman jerawat batu..till now jerawat free :) i have tried various brands (some even cost me a fortune) but none of it last, but bila kat sini..i only use st ives (kat sini harus selalu sental kulit okay..london air among the worse polluted throughout the world) selalulah jugak pakai body buffer..sugar scrub and all..cuma tinggal pakai kertas pasir je untuk menyagat kulit!!
and jonhson&johnson 'soothing naturals' range for i find it very 'click' with my skin and so as my babies..5 in 1 but more like 6 in 1 coz zaki pun tumpang sekaki..

a neverending search...

2007-12-08T16:45:00.000Z

:before:

never thought to fill up a two bed apartment..'just TWO'! could be such a stressful job..despite that we did..already bought which we might think is necessary stuffs for the ap...you know..tilam, sheets..duvets and all..and definately the kitchen needs to be fill too!..if not camane nak masak?

the hardest part is we have to scout around london for a reasonable price for the furniture and all. thank god its nearly xmas so sales are everywhere now.

'20' to keep you going

2007-09-13T10:28:00.000+01:00

20 Inspirations for Life

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.-hantar/amik aishah

2. Make time to practice meditation, yoga and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.-no time to exercise, sembahyang will do

3. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6. -under the age of 6?this one dah terlebih spent..hah!

4. Try to make at least three people smile each day. -hubby, aishah's teacher, my kids..of course!

5. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life. -i need to absorb all the positive karma around me..or else i'll go nuts!

6. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. -tried real hard on these-

7. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

8. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

9. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. -done that

10. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. -hell yeah!

12. What other people think of you is none of your business. -don't give a ---*&^'!

13. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

14. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

15. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

16. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. -hate em' clutters

17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

18. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

19.Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

20.Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

May your troubles be less, May your blessings be more. And may nothing but happiness come through your door!

OMG!

six months zach

2007-09-02T17:17:00.000+01:00

salam, how y'all doing?its been a while since my last scrap and been busy looking after my kids and there's other ongoing projects which need to be done.erm..what else?my zach turns 6 yesterday..there's so much progress on him being 6!

and he's been acting like a little worm on his belly for over a month, which I guess is the pre-cursor to crawling. He's doing a few things ahead of schedule, but I think it depends on the child. Some just develop faster than others.

dah pandai push himself forward and today started angkat angkat his butt lagi..means tak lama lagi merangkak..BESTNYA! his milk intake has doubled..yes..if baby lain take on bottle at a time..this baby of mine takes TWO! sebab satu macam tak cukup and he will go -berrr..berr..buuuu.booo..oooo mmmm- for some more.over manja with mommy dearest if tido he will grab hold of my face till morning :) whats left is my lubang hidung for breathing purpose.
Every morning,he wake me up by kicking the sheets off, rolling over & playing with my face. I open my eyes & will get the biggest smile on his face

so far he's doing great..my most gemoks baby..from his other 3 siblings at this point of age.he's about 8.something kg's..slow down dear zach..mama tak puas timang2 dah habis 'ghebeh' my shoulder just to support you.

Things are good.We love you.

my Telly Savalas 'Kojak'

2007-08-30T15:11:00.000+01:00

-my new boyfriend-
this is what i did today..habis togel gaya bagai kojak my baby zach.hehe..from shan-rizq and now zach..all cukur sendiri by mom dearest with much effort from my wilkinson shaver..you rock!within minutes you clean up the mess and makes my job easier..thank you..thank you..

so..to all my fellow blogger mates, family..relatives and all m'sians, Happy 50th Merdeka Day to all.

MERDEKA!!

weekend update

2007-08-28T21:05:00.000+01:00

On sunday,we went to Portsmouth for a weekend comes bank holiday monday gateway.
Arrive in PS around 2.30pm, the road heading towards the city centre was jam pack with vehicles due to monday holiday..'bad timing' i must say.Spend some time before the shop closes at 5pm at Gunwharf Quays & Spinnaker Tower.Sempat went into monsoon,claire's..bak kata,sempat segalanya..adatlah mak2 if shopping kan.in 2 hours pun can rembat macam2.:) Here's a pic of the 'new' Gunwharf Quays.That Spinnaker Tower baru je, during my time with Zaki dok bercinta cintun takde lagi.Reminising our glory days i must say..now with 4 babies already..macam tak percaya sahaja.

*Gunwharf Quays at night*

*Gunwharf Quays and Spinnaker Tower by the seafront*

*Spinnaker Tower upclose*

*'us'*

Then,penat shopping..head straight to the SeaFront for quality times with the kids and since we pack ourselves with loads of food, we all bukalah 'tikar mengkuang' for a picnic by the sea..eventho we are NOT actually by the sea..more like a big open space comes picnic area..macam 'padang kota' penang.But the kids have one hell of a great time spent playing with the kites and running around like there's no tomorrow.While us..the maks maks duduk2,stuffing ourself with our home cook food sambil mengumpat like tak jumpa 10 yrs already :P

*zaki,shahriman,ME/Rizq,sis linda,sis nas and the kids*

*matt,hafiz,zaki and shahriman*

At half past seven, pack our things and scout for a hotel to spend the night..the plan is,spend one night in portsmouth and the next morning off to Brighton..but instead finding a suitable hotel somewhere in between portsmouth-brighton..we end up spending the night in Gatwick!..wah...all the way tersasar to gatwick pulak since all the hotel within the range is fully book.yes..bare in mind next time be prepared to whatever possible cause happen..you never know..but by the end of the day our hectic day berbaloi cause the hotel room was simply nice.

yes..talk about holiday to brighton..kesudahannya tak menjadi to 'us' due to rizq condition from bad to worse by asthma.poor baby..by subuh he was like grasping for air and non of the puffs (give him like 10 puff every 4 hours and 3-4 puff in between) works on him.Dah kira ER ni, pack our things very quickly..woke up the kids and back to london heading towards central middlesex hospital.

*budak semput*

*semput but still hyper,overdosed by his steroid intake*

no rezeki to brighton this time..but better be safe than sorry,nemind,there will always be next time rite? holiday with rizq having his 2nd major attack this year was a big NO of course!In the end,he was admitted in the ward for observation by the doctor and nurses for a day, thank god only a DAY..masuk pagi, by 5pm can discharge already -alhamdulillah-..dear..dear rizq..surely given us a big scare.Now he's recovering..wheezing still and continue given him 10 puffs every 4 hour and 4 tablets of 'prednisolone' for 3 days in a row.

And today,sis linda and family pay us a visit..tengok rizq..and we had lunch @ nandos.For dinner, cook curry squid and perut masak lemak cili padi by sis,vegetable and ikan goreng.Yummm!

my name spells 'PATIENCE'
-oopss..ini bukan Patience catwoman tu ya, :) but patience dlm makna islam.saya sangat sabar orangnya.

i HATE MATCHSTICKS

*siap ada illustration lagi*

-fact,i just hate them since i was a kid..tak suka tgk,tak suka pegang..tak suka guna..dont ask me why.

'PERAHSIA'
-sshhh..all your secret is safe with me, well kept and well preserved.i seldom talk about other ppl personal stuffs..especially bila dah diamanatkan..'NOT TO'..na'ah..no way!

love decorating..(house-room,you name it)
-suka make do with anything or everything.interior dlm a month sure ubah tempat 3-4 times.

say NO to SEMAK
-dah anak derek..ni paling tak tahan,now i make sure my kids do the same..after main,harus simpan..or else don't follow mama to the shop :PERIOD:

lacy macy undies and bra's
-i am soo not into this type,nasib hubs pun okies je..hahahaha,cotton is my favourite..mcm budak sekolah kan?as long as its comfortable and simple.but here, you spoilt for choice lah..so many cute2 ones :)

i shop for size 14
-yes..yes..ni paling suka, i can fit size 14 uk (14 for kids..huhuh)they are very much cuter too especially tunic tops and baby t's.i like.

dislikes judgemental person
-paling tak suka ppl who like to make judgement on other ppl's life and how they live.For i am open minded sort of person, non-judgemental and enjoy communicating.Let them be what they want to be.I am not a judgemental person in any way and I am not easily shocked, so difficult or embarrassing problems are not a problem to me. Sebab saya tak suka sibuk2 hal orang,ada saya kacau hidup depa ke?ppl who are behaving like this; one, either they are jealous two,hobby three,tak bersyukur with their own life

Happy Little Man

2007-08-13T01:12:00.000+01:00

*a little something for zach,hope you appreciate what mama has done for you back then..*

Zach is rolling over like it's his job. What's funny is he started out from front to back, but prefers back to front. Sometimes I wonder if he forgot that he can roll that way. So now we practice more on tummy time than grabbing feet time.This morning when he woke up to feed, I walked in the room & my jaw dropped. He was all over the place.But he's not alone,sis aishah and bro shan was there to keep him company.

At 22 weeks, there have been some new developments. He now tries to drink out of a cup. I don't have anything in there for him to actually drink, but he grabs the cup & puts it right up to his mouth,similar like what he did with his bottles.But he started to hold his own bottle at 4...

:) Happy Me!

And all i know, zach is such a laid back, happy, content & really good baby.

-alhamdulillah-

i love making skins and i finally
just re-install my photoshop,after dah berhabok and bersawang in my keeps. yay!. im a huge perfectionist but hey, im just human. i like customizing my old skins so there's probably going to be alot ofresubmitions but i'll try not too.
My computer use to "crash" for a number of reasons. Over time, with constant use, computers become more prone to crashes. This is usually by no fault of me, however, the installation and removal of programs, constant internet use, lack of disk space and registry errors all contribute to a problematic computer.
oh well, its about time for me to do some 'housekeeping' for my desktop anyway..by regularly performing routing housekeeping procedures to minimise as many potential problems as possible...herm..kenalah 'rajin' to avoid unpleasant things from happening to my desktop..my 'life' is in there..erkkk!

hari ini juga saya ajar aishah sembahyang, bukan sepenuhnya,she's still small,tapi dia sudah tunjuk minat untuk mengikut mama sembahyang, apa salahnya..she's almost 4.Orang tua selalu pesan,bila nak ajar anak sembahyang-mengaji?tak ada sesiapa di sini melainkan 'kita',kalau di tempat sendiri tentu ada yang selalu peringati.
alhamdulillah, sayang aishah mahu ikut..tapi tersasar sasar nak adjust saf',paling tak tahan, mobile berbunyi..she said 'mama,hurry up papa call!' dalam pada sedang kusyuk sembahyang..terus hilang tumpuan saya.hi anakku,sudah berapa kali mama bilang, masa sembahyang tak boleh cakap...hehe..kids..
habis sembahyang, baca doa..suruh angkat tangan ikut mama, she did,
mama baca doa lepas sembahyang..aishah sibuk baca doa makan..lawaknya,lawak..its still a 'doa' kan?bolehlah tu..
itulah kisah hari ini ;P

'TIRAMISU'

2007-07-31T15:37:00.000+01:00

main ingredient:
chocolate sponge cake..
either you diy or beli di kedai kek berdekatan anda..like me!!hehe

d'sauce:
1 cream cheese
plain yogurt
sugar-sesuka hati anda

Combine cream cheese and sugar, mix at medium speed until well blended.
Then, add plain yogurt..agak2 nak sauce banyak or sikit.
Blend the ingredients until they are relatively smooth.Cut the cake into 2-3
layer..depends on how many you want.usually 2-3..byk lapis
baik buat kek lapis jer..hehe.
layer by layer top it with the 'sauce' and sprinkle a bit of nescafe/whatever
coffee you drink lah..cap kapal ke.
jgn lebih sprinkle nanti your kids will go 'pahit mama,so pahit..nyum nyum nyum' mcm aishah itu hari.
to make it more yummylicious,tempekken whipped cream on top.saje jer..
tak sedap takpe..presentation wise,penting ;P

selamat mencuba..

thank you to my very best mate in uni, ms muharra diba for posting a post in her blog titled 'cerita sayu'..to all you peeps out there, it is a story about my mom, yes, my dearly beloved mom on how she misses her daughter so much.I must have been away for too long.
I miss being away from my mother, brother and sister..and the rest of my family!
Being away from mom has made me truly appreciate the things I used to think were annoying about her.and yes,has made me a better person in many ways.terima kasih mak!

aku,dia dan 'sotong'

2007-07-12T18:38:00.000+01:00

today, as i was preparing 'bahan rencah' and ingredients to cook for dinner, i realize one of the most important bahan of all(if takde this thing tak adalah lauk 'sambal sotong' saya),SOTONG aka squid aka calamari tinggal 2 1/2 'ketul' in the freezer.my mistake la for not checking my storage first.then, check at ila's freezer compartment.ahah! ada pun.without doing any thinking went straight upstairs, knock her room(next to mine) and all i can think of is to pinjam her 'sotong'
(before i proceed,'sotong' to some people means 'undies',boxer,bras,panties etc)

ila (open the door)
me:ila, boleh saya pinjam 'sotong' awak?? (thinking that something even funnier would just/about to happen ;)
ila:(terkebil n terkedu)kejap ye..(tutup pintu sikit)

*ila pelik,why minah ni nak pinjam her undies pulak!??*

me:eh?hehehekakakkakakaaaaa..bukan 'itu' lah ila.kita nak minta pinjam 'sotong'..,lauk sotong awak dalam freezer tu,kita punya ada tapi tinggal sikit,kita nak 2 je!
ila:lah(a very longggg one)wakekkekekekekee..'sotong' itu ke?takpelah amiklah,nak pakai semua pun takpe.
me:thank you awak,kang kita ganti okeh!

WaLLah!!knew that was going to happen..heheheh,the rest are history as i was laughing histerically.happily,whilst grinning wildly,returned to kitchen and starts to cook my 'sambal sotong' ;p enjoy peeps.

on her words..

2007-07-09T12:21:00.000+01:00

last saturday..as i was having viral fever with runny nose, watery eyes..and yes, sneezing everywhere(hayfever season).She looked at me and said,
aishah: mama, kenapa mama 'bersedih' dengan eyes tu?
(why are you crying mommy?):) as i recall..i have never, ever used the word 'sedih' or 'bersedih' in front of her..not even in my conversation with zaki.where did she get it ey?
lagi satu;
aishah:mama, come and play masak masak with me..i've no friends to play with.
me: you wait okay..letme finish my work first.
aishah:(sigh) oo i know..you cannot play masak masak with me..i'm a small girl..u can only 'play' with papa because you're already big!

oopss :p..coincidence or not?

more on aishah:latest update 12 july 07

a:mama, are u sick?

FINGERPRINTS
Sometimes you get discouraged,
because I am so small
And leave my little fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But everyday I'm growing
And soon will be so tall
That all these little fingerprints
Will be difficult to recall.
So here's a little handprint
That you can put away
So you will know how my fingers looked
On this special day.

happy 2nd month baby zach : a late entry

2007-05-12T20:13:00.000+01:00

A baby is
Two tiny feet
That wave in the air
Two tiny hands
That tug at your hair
Cute bottom for patting
Adorable face
A bundle of joy
To love and embrace

love you to bits dear zach!
*tengok tu, naik julings mata zach tgk mama dia*

for the past few weeks..been busy with my new baby, he is now 2 mons plus and em happy to say that he's fit and healthy. We even call him 'kacang panjang' since he's height tak padan baby umur 2 mths. my midwife scale couldn't fit him no more..hehehe. bila letak badan, sure zach's feet tejulur keluar..kelakar la..and my midwife like terpaksa 'lipat' him in the cradle in order to get his weight.
still fully breastfeed and hope this time it'll last longer *insyaallah*
so far em back and still stick with d normal routine doing my household chores, jaga'ing' my babies, cooking..at first agak kelam kabut in settling down and stick wit timing, but i'm getting use to it now.Sounds hectic in it? but my total satisfaction and hapiness in life is to see my own kids grown rite in front of my very own eyes day by day..can't imagine a day without them.
...LIFE GOES ON...
